The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

The square-shaped ebony under Scott's feet stretched rapidly under the light of the Transfiguration Spell.

Soon, a fish with a body length of more than two meters appeared.

The fish was elongated and flattened, covered with fine scales, and had grayish-white round spots on its blue-brown body.

The upper jaw of the fish's mouth was like a sharp sword, very prominent.

The first dorsal fin on the fish's back was higher than the body, like a sail, and also like a fluttering flag.

This is the fastest swimming fish in the sea - the sailfish.

At the same time, a huge and fierce-looking hound appeared in front of Cedric.

"Fish?"

Cedric looked at the sailfish that Scott had conjured up in surprise.

There was no water here, and although the sailfish looked ferocious, it seemed that it had no deterrent power as it could only flutter on the ground.

In response to his opponent's question, Scott just smiled, "Yes, this is my latest design."

Soon, blue light flashed on the blue scales of the sailfish, forming ancient magic runes of various shapes.

The sound of water splashing sounded, and transparent water flowed out of thin air, forming a huge round water ball that slowly floated up and wrapped the swordfish inside.

The ferocious big fish began to swim freely in the water ball, and the huge water ball wrapped around it also kept moving in the direction of its swimming.

"This..."

Cedric looked at this scene in shock, and forgot to command his hound to start attacking.

Not only him, but everyone stared at the huge water ball and the swordfish swimming freely in it in amazement.

At this moment, the empty classroom was unbearably quiet.

"Sure enough, you have surpassed me too much." Cedric came back to his senses and was a little frustrated, "I don't even know how you did it. Everyone knows that Transfiguration cannot transform magical animals with magic, but you broke the shackles."

Scott gave him a hint, "Remember, the paper published by Bill Weasley, we once discussed it in the Transfiguration Club."

Cedric quickly recalled.

"Is it the article "A Conjecture, Maybe We Can Make Transfiguration More Complex" published in "Transfiguration Today" two years ago?"

But he was also more shocked.

"I still remember it! At that time, everyone concluded that it was just a theoretical conjecture, but it was too difficult to implement in practice and almost impossible to achieve!"

He looked at Scott with a new perspective.

"But you did it, and made the impossible possible."

Scott nodded, "This is the product of the combination of Transfiguration and Magic Circuit."

At this time, the other students in the classroom had already reacted and began to discuss Scott's achievements.

Most students knew how difficult it would be to combine Transfiguration with the power of Magic Circuit.

Even if the example was in front of them, they still couldn't believe that someone could do it.

So, many people began to ask Professor McGonagall.

"This is true, Trollope really did it." Professor McGonagall gave a positive answer, "His talent in Transfiguration is beyond doubt."

"It seems that there is no need for us to compete." Cedric said to Scott with a wry smile.

Scott looked at the sailfish shaking its head and tail in the water, and said to Cedric: "Its fighting power has not been tested yet. It would be great if you are willing to help."

"Is that so?"

Cedric seemed to be interested.

"Then let me help."

While speaking, he threw some more wooden blocks and turned them all into identical hounds.

"Go."

He waved his hand, and the eight hounds moved together.

Scott looked at the eight hounds that advanced and retreated in a measured manner and cooperated tacitly, and said with appreciation: "It seems that you have made great progress, Cedric."

Cedric has regained his usual demeanor, "Although it is still not worth mentioning compared to you, I still haven't stood still."

The black hounds moved like the wind and soon surrounded the water ball floating in the air.

Then the hounds lowered their bodies, bared their teeth, and let out low roars.

They did not launch an attack rashly, but moved slowly and observed.

The sailfish in the center of the water ball was no longer leisurely at this moment.

It stopped swimming, and aimed its upper jaw like a long sword at one of the hounds.

As it swung its tail, everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and the sailfish had moved to the edge of the water ball, and its upper jaw like a long sword directly pierced the body of a hound.

The two hounds nearby rushed over, but the sailfish had shaken off the pierced hound in the next second and returned to the center of the water ball.

The pierced hound instantly turned back into broken wood and fell on the ground of the stage.

Next, a fine stream of water extended from the edge of the water ball, skillfully completing a 360-degree sweep.

The stream of water was like a sharp magic weapon, cutting the remaining hounds in half.

Wood chips flew on the duel stage, and the hounds turned into split wood blocks and fell.

At the same time, cracks appeared on the body of the sailfish in the water ball, and soon turned into broken wood blocks.

Hualala.

The originally condensed water ball began to turn into water and disperse.

"Can't withstand the power of the explosion? It seems that we have to find some more suitable materials."

Scott waved his wand, and the water flowed up again, flying out of the window like a transparent ribbon and falling into the black lake in the distance.

Cedric looked at the scattered wood blocks on the duel stage and smiled helplessly, "You are so ruthless, Scott, aren't you afraid that I can't bear this kind of blow?"

Scott asked him directly, "Then will you?"

"A little bit, after all, it is really a bit discouraging." Cedric shrugged his shoulders, "But at the same time, I am also a little excited, because I see a higher goal."

Scott laughed, "That's it, this is the Cedric I know."

Cedric sighed, "Should I say thank you for the compliment?"

"That's not necessary."

Scott waved his wand again to gather all the wood blocks and sawdust into a pile, and then used the vanishing spell to make them all disappear.

"Mr. Trollope, although it is not the first time I have seen this kind of operation, I still have to say it is amazing."

Professor Moody applauded.

"Of course, Mr. Diggory's performance has surpassed many people. I hope you will consider joining the Ministry of Magic and becoming an Auror after graduation."

"Thank you for the compliment, Professor. We will consider it."

Scott and Cedric bowed to Professor Moody and walked off the duel stage.

Scott noticed that because of his performance, many students were looking at him with awe.

He didn't care about it and walked straight through the crowd back to his friends.

"Always unexpected." Eddie deliberately looked Scott up and down, "Oh, Scott, are you such a person who likes to show off?"

Roger also said: "You just realized, Eddie, this kid is very cunning, either don't show off, or come up with a big one."

Fred and George stretched out their hands and put them on Scott's left and right shoulders respectively.

"As a Ravenclaw."

"You actually dream of becoming the favorite student of the Gryffindor Dean."

"As Gryffindors, we will definitely stop you!"

"Defend the honor of Gryffindor to the death!"

Scott looked around and asked unhappily, "Do you two want to be my wings?"

"Impossible."

"No."

Fred and George immediately let go of each other's hands.

Milton said seriously at this time: "Scott, I think if you can become a warrior representing Hogwarts, you will definitely win the championship of the Triwizard Tournament."

Looking at Milton's sincere expression, Scott was relieved.

Sure enough, my friends can't all be assholes.

"Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard for it." He said.

Milton nodded, "I believe you can do it."

Look, this is the normal style of getting along between friends.

Scott glanced at the other people.

The actual combat training lasted a whole day.

Later, Professor Moody and Professor Flitwick personally took the field and instructed the students of each delegation.

In short, everyone gained a lot.

In the following period of time, club activities every night were almost cancelled, and the three professors began to use the evening time to conduct various intensive training for 25 students.

Not only the actual duel, Professor McGonagall also needed to ensure that everyone would not embarrass themselves at the Christmas ball, so she opened a dance class.

In the dance class, Fred was often selected to dance with Professor McGonagall to demonstrate to everyone.

At this time, Fred was like wearing a mask of pain.

And laughing at Fred's funny appearance was everyone's happy time.

It must be mentioned that Angelina laughed especially loudly at this time.

Time quickly came to the end of October, and Scott and his friends would set off on October 31st to the Beauxbatons School of Magic in France.

The night before departure, Scott chatted with a group of people in the common room.

He sat with several selected Ravenclaws.

Almost every Ravenclaw student came over to bless them and hope that they would have a good performance.

"It's best to be a warrior!" Everyone said so.

They thought that the most likely to become a warrior was Ethan Cooper, the seventh-year prefect, and Scott, the sixth-year.

All Ravenclaws thought that Ethan was the best among all the representatives who were over 17 years old, and Scott was the best among all.

For some reason, most people were very confident in Scott, and didn't even consider the age limit.

"Oh, I'm getting nervous now." Ethan whispered to Scott, "In short, I don't think I'm better than Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff. Although he is in the sixth grade like you, he is already 17 years old, right?"

Maybe because of nervousness, he became more talkative.

"I have to say, in the seventh grade, I mean our class, there don't seem to be any particularly outstanding students in the four colleges."

"Keep calm, Ethan." Scott could only persuade him, "Don't think too much, if you are selected, work hard to win the championship, if you are not selected, cheer for our warriors."

Hearing Scott's words, Ethan immediately collapsed on the sofa like a salted fish.

"Okay, I understand, that's how it should be."

He waved his hand.

"In short, the responsibility of maintaining the honor of Ravenclaw is left to you, Scott."

"Hey!"

Scott shouted in dissatisfaction.

This guy, his attitude changed too quickly!

"I suddenly thought of something." Roger walked over and said, "Starting from February next year, Hogwarts will offer Apparition classes for our sixth-year students, but we will still be in Beauxbatons at that time. Tsk, this is the course I least want to miss."

Scott was not worried about this, "Don't worry, the professors will always find a way for us to learn Apparition."

"I hope so." Roger said, "If we fail to pass the Apparition license issued by the Ministry of Magic, we can't use that magic legally."

Ethan said to him, "Don't worry, the school will definitely consider this."

At this time, Scott saw Luna standing on the window sill in the distance and waved to him.

Scott stood up and walked to her.

"I prepared something for you." Luna said, "It's my father's invention, I asked him to send it over."

She took Scott to the table next to her and took out a few weird things from her woolen bag.

A headdress with two curved, golden hearing aid-like devices on it.

A headband with two small blue wings on it.

An orange carrot.

Scott remembered that he had seen these things before. They were worn on the head of a Ravenclaw statue in the second-floor studio of Luna's house.

Luna pointed to the headdress with a receiver, "This is a siphon for disturbing flies, which can eliminate all surrounding areas that interfere with the thinker."

"And this," she pointed to the headband with small wings, "is an aura thruster, which can lead to a higher state of mind."

Finally, the orange carrot.

"This is the airship Lee, which can improve the ability to accept abnormal things."

Luna stuffed all three things into Scott's hands.

"I think they can definitely provide you with some help."

"...Thank you."

Scott looked at the three strange inventions of Mr. Lovegood in his hand.

Luna looked up at him.

"I know you don't believe these." She said vaguely, "but you have to take them with you, maybe they can come in handy?"

"Okay, I'll take them with me."

It doesn't take up much space anyway.

Scott stuffed all three things into his lizard skin bag.

"That's good." Luna laughed, "You will definitely become a warrior, Scott."

Scott also smiled, "I hope so."

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone in Hogwarts gathered on the wide lawn outside the castle.

Dumbledore led a 25-person student delegation to stand aside, and other professors led by Professor McGonagall took the remaining students to say goodbye.

"Time is almost up."

Dumbledore pulled out the Elder Wand.

"We are leaving."

Scott stared at his movements with great curiosity.

So far, he still didn't know what kind of transportation they should take to France.

He has been looking forward to this for a long time.
