The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

In the principal's office, Scott's expression was a little stiff.

Because he didn't know what he should say at this moment.

He certainly understood that Dumbledore said all this to him out of good intentions, but at this moment he didn't want to lie, and he didn't have the idea of ​​changing himself because of this.

So he opened his mouth again, but in the end he could only remain silent.

But even so, Dumbledore's attitude was still kind.

"Don't be stressed." He smiled and said, "You can take this as an elder's advice, of course, you can also take it as an old man's boring nagging."

Scott pursed his lips and nodded gently.

"I'll think about it." He whispered.

"Of course." Dumbledore said, "You still have a lot of time to grow up."

After leaving the principal's office, Scott walked in the castle with a complicated mood.

He was wondering if he should not think about anything or participate in anything, and concentrate on studying.

After a while, he was a little discouraged again.

After receiving the admission letter from Hogwarts at the age of 11, he had a plan when he entered the magic world.

At that time, his plan was to keep a low profile after entering school, be ordinary, not get involved in troubles, and focus on studying.

He did it in the first three years, just as he planned, he spent three years happily and smoothly in Hogwarts.

In the third grade, the "savior" Harry Potter entered school, and he did not get involved in any incidents of the Philosopher's Stone.

It was only from the fourth grade that Scott began to encounter some troubles that he had to deal with, as if there was some will interfering in the dark.

Originally, he just wanted to use a little trick to get proof of the existence of the basilisk, so as to solve the most threatening incident for him that year.

In the end, he fought with someone on Christmas Eve that year, and his hands were stained with human lives.

The death of Jasmine Travers was like turning on a great switch, and from then on, troubles began to come one after another.

For Scott himself, this experience allowed him to break through his psychological defenses, more like opening Pandora's box.

After that, he could decisively eliminate those who threatened him without changing his face, and even began to use his advantage of foresight to manipulate the development of some things.

The death of Travers in the end, the three pure-blood families and the Ministry of Magic fighting for the Travers family inheritance, perhaps the director pushed these events to make him a little inflated. When facing the threat of Medea to his freedom, Scott's most instinctive thought was to release Voldemort, Medea's prey and enemy.

As the headmaster and the current owner of this magic castle, Dumbledore may not know what Scott did, but he may have keenly perceived some of Scott's characteristics, which were the parts that the old headmaster disagreed with.

After thinking about it again and again, Scott suddenly realized that the fuse of all this was Jacob.

Thinking of this, Scott shook his head helplessly.

Of course, such thoughts are just ridicule. He knows very well that it is his own character that determines his choice.

Unconsciously, Scott walked to the elevated stone bridge connecting the outside of the castle.

At this time, the sky was already dark and it was about to fall at night.

Scott went to the headmaster's office with Snape after the afternoon potion class, but he didn't care about dinner at this time.

Standing on the bridge in the whistling cold wind, Scott stretched out his hand to tighten his robe and wrapped the scarf around his neck.

Although he still had no desire to change himself, Dumbledore's words finally made him start to examine himself.

Before this conversation with the old headmaster, Scott never thought that there was anything wrong with what he did.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Since others want to hurt him, don't blame him for taking the initiative.

He has always thought like this, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his thoughts.

It's just...

Maybe it's because of Dumbledore's words, or maybe it's because of something else, at this moment he suddenly remembered himself in his previous life.

So he suddenly realized that he had changed after all.

Although he was also very vengeful in his previous life, he just vengeful, and never took action to really retaliate against anyone. After all, the people who made him vengeful were only slightly or seriously offended, and would not threaten his life.

Thinking of this, Scott sighed softly.

He could say that this somewhat chaotic magic world, which was completely different from the peaceful and stable society in his previous life, changed him, or that he was trying to adapt to the environment, but such reasons could not completely convince himself.

The cold wind howled, like the howling of some monster.

At this moment, Scott did not feel cold.

His originally somewhat confused thoughts began to gradually become clear, and his mind seemed to stand in another absolutely objective angle, and began to analyze himself rationally.

Perhaps it was the disadvantage of having memories of his previous life.

For Scott, before entering Hogwarts, the so-called magic world was just the background of a story in a novel, and he already had a preconceived impression of it.

Because of this impression, his subconscious mind would think that the magic world was unsafe and even turbulent, which gave him some invisible pressure and insecurity.

These influences may be invisible, but they are also changing him subtly, making his counterattack against maliciousness particularly fierce.

In short, after some analysis, Scott thought this was the main reason for his change.

Of course, there were other reasons.

For example, the arrogance after mastering the power.

Ask yourself, if he was not a wizard, if he still lived in the Muggle world, when he met someone who was malicious to him or even threatened his life, he would still try to call the police if he had a choice.

But after becoming a wizard, he began to prefer to do it himself.

Scott suddenly laughed silently.

Dumbledore said he was stubborn and refused to change, but in fact he had changed a lot.

It's just that it's not a change in a good direction, he thought self-deprecatingly.

But he soon felt relieved.

In the cold wind at night in December, Scott experienced a deep self-analysis and discovered some of his own problems.

But he did not feel uneasy because of this, and he still had no intention of being obedient and correcting himself.

He reached out and rubbed his frozen face, smiled casually, then stomped his feet that had become cold because of standing for a long time, and turned to walk towards the direction of the auditorium.

Everyone knows that truth, goodness and beauty are good, and Scott certainly knows that, but that doesn't mean he has to achieve them.

The magic world is not a fairy tale world of truth, goodness and beauty.

That day, the conversation with Dumbledore finally had some impact on him, and he really figured out some things.

With the kind reminder of the old headmaster, Scott truly realized himself and then readily accepted himself as he was.
