The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 519 519. The last school year begins

On September 1, Scott and his friends met at King's Cross Station.

"If nothing else happens, this should be the last time we pass through Platform 9 and board the Hogwarts Express."

Roger stood at the station gate where people were coming and going, and said in an emotional tone.

"Don't forget the Christmas holiday." Scott gave him a contemptuous look.

Hearing his words, Eddie and Milton couldn't help laughing.

Roger looked unhappy, "Can you please not ruin the atmosphere while I'm feeling emotional?"

"Okay, don't be emotional." Scott patted him on the shoulder, "It's time for us to make a pit stop."

With that said, he took the lead and walked into the waiting hall.

Eddie and Milton also smiled and passed Roger, keeping up with Scott's pace.

"Hey!"

The remaining Roger called out and followed helplessly.

They passed through the Muggle passengers coming and going, walked through the wall with familiarity, and entered platform 9.

Separated by a wall, there is another world.

"Oh, another batch of freshmen are enrolling..."

Roger seemed to have not exhausted his literary skills today, and he stared at the little ones in the crowd who were obviously freshmen and sighed with emotion.

"ah?"

Even Milton, who has always been the most artistic, can't understand where he got this energy.

"...and we're almost graduating."

Roger had a serious look on his face.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Scott got directly into the carriage and found an unoccupied compartment to sit down.

Soon, his three roommates also sat in.

"Don't you have any emotions?" Roger asked, "This is our last year at Hogwarts."

"Not me, thank you," said Eddie, who is in sixth grade this year.

"I'm not talking to you."

Roger stared at Scott and Milton.

"Um……"

The kind-hearted Milton still cooperated with him.

"I feel a little complicated, a little reluctant, and a little nervous, but I will cherish this last year of school time."

Roger nodded and stared at Scott again.

Scott turned to look out the window.

"Hello!"

Roger kicked him.

"ah?"

Scott simply played dumb.

But Roger still kept staring at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Scott was a little helpless.

"Even if we want to make a graduation announcement, we have to wait until the end of the school year. Right now, there are no complicated emotions brewing."

"All right."

Roger was a little discouraged and changed into a slumped position.

"I'm just a little confused. You all seem to have clear goals, but I don't know what I should do after graduation."

"Of course, 'Tower of Babel' is our common ideal, but besides that, I still have to have a job, right?"

"Um……"

Scott and Milton both looked at him in surprise.

They really don't seem to have discussed this issue in depth.

Milton asked: "I remember the career guidance in fifth grade. Your ambition was to work in the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Magic? Wouldn't that be great?"

"Ministry of Magic." Roger's expression was a little complicated. "I don't know if it would be a good thing to enter the Ministry of Magic at this time...I mean, everyone knows that the mysterious person may attack there again at any time."

Eddie suggested, "You can choose to go abroad, just like Milton."

Milton nodded, "I will go to the Vienna Conservatory of Music for further study."

Roger continued to look confused.

"There's still a year left, so you have a lot of time to think about it."

Scott stood up.

"Maybe the mysterious man was defeated before we graduated?"

With that said, he turned and left the cubicle.

"See you later, I'm going to the prefect's compartment first."

"Wait for me." Eddie stood up and said, "I want to go too!"

They passed through the carriages and walked towards the locomotive.

People greeted Scott from time to time along the way, and many freshmen looked at him with surprise.

"As you can see, you are becoming more and more popular." Eddie said proudly, "Of course, this is also due to me."

"yes……"

Scott gave him a complicated look.

Eddie was a genius at publicity.

Since the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament, he has been publishing articles in newspapers to build momentum for Scott.

Of course, his starting point at that time was to sell more peripherals.

It was not until Scott later won the Triwizard Tournament that they established the "Tower of Babel", and Eddie was keenly aware of the importance of publicity.

He decisively asked the Weasley twins to increase the shipment volume of [Magic Crystal Player], cooperated with his publicity channels, and used Hogwarts students as a link to successfully sell peripheral products including videos to large companies. Part British wizard.

Thanks to these, Scott has now become almost a household name in the British wizarding community.

In short, Eddie has figured out all the propaganda tricks.

"Keep up the hard work." Scott said with a smile, "The propaganda minister of 'Tower of Babel' is none other than you."

Eddie said: "I still prefer to be the Minister of Finance."

"Then let's do it part-time."

"Is it so casual?"

"What do you think?"

Of course, they were just joking.

There are only a few people in the "Tower of Babel" at this stage, and Scott has no intention of setting up any "ministers".

Moreover, many things have to be done step by step.

According to his speculation, for a long time to come, the "Tower of Babel" will be a relatively loose organization without any hierarchy.

While joking, they arrived at the prefect's compartment at the front of the car.

Pushing open the door, Scott found that his partner Caccini was already inside.

After not seeing each other for a summer vacation, Caccini's hair has grown a little longer.

Although this girl still has a man's haircut, at least it's no longer a buzzcut close to her scalp.

"Good afternoon, Caccini."

Scott took the initiative to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Scott." Caccini raised his head, "It seems that you are the president of the student body this year."

"it's me."

Scott nodded.

"Then I'll be relieved." Caccini said with a smile, "If it were you, our work would be much easier."

Scott expressed doubts.

Caccini said: "Please, everyone has seen your performance in the Triwizard Tournament. Believe me, there is no student in Hogwarts who dares not to listen to you."

"Is that so?"

Scott thinks it's not bad, at least it will save a lot of trouble.

"You have many admirers, Scott."

Caccini said again in a teasing tone.

"Especially the little wizards in the lower grades, they simply regard you as their idol."

"..."

Is this a bit too exaggerated? Scott turned to look at Eddie.

Eddie winked at him, looking proud.

Well, it seems that the "Propaganda Minister" is also indispensable in this.

As the train started, prefects from various colleges and grades came to the car one after another.

Scott said hello to everyone he knew, including Keira, Cedric and others, as well as Ron and Hermione, the two of whom became the new prefects of Gryffindor's fifth grade.

He also copied a list from Caccini's hand and quickly memorized everyone's names as she called them.

After that, he said that he and Caccini assigned tasks to these prefects and asked them to inspect the carriages.

After the prefects all went out, Scott and Caccini still had to sit in the prefects' car and wait in case the prefects couldn't find them after an accident.

When there was no one else around, Scott took the opportunity to chat with Caccini about Miss Grapeland, who had made him join the Scholars League.

"You should know better than me." Caccini looked a little surprised, "After all, you are all formal members of the Scholars Alliance."

Scott shook his head, "I have no contact with her. It should be said that except for the few days when I got it, I basically never used [The Book of Prometheus] again."

To be precise, [The Book of Prometheus] only helped him complete the Animagus.

There was no way around it. He had amazing teachers and many adventures. He couldn't finish learning the knowledge he got for free, so he wouldn't even think about spending credits to buy it.

"Is that so?" Caccini was even more surprised, "I thought..."

Obviously, she thought that Scott's explosive growth in strength was due to the [Book of Prometheus].

Scott shook his head.

[The Book of Prometheus] is not that useful.

If he could only rely on that thing in exchange for knowledge, he wouldn't be able to grow so fast.

Just look at Miss Grapeland. In order to earn some credits, that lady even took the risk to attack the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.

"It's not because of [The Book of Prometheus], ​​but because of some adventures."

Scott did not explain in detail, and Caccini was also very knowledgeable and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he talked about Miss Grapeland.

"I haven't seen Stephanie for a long time. I heard from Wilmina that she went to America to study Thunderbirds."

Scott nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps because Mr. Byrd was in jail, Stephanie Grapeland, who once impersonated Wilmina Grapeland, took the opportunity to run away.

After that, Scott and Caccini stopped chatting and just discussed some work arrangements for the coming school year.

In order to make it easier in the future, they carefully made some work plans and discussed the methods and standards for handling some routine events.

Of course, there are also some unconventional plans.

The reason why it is said to be unconventional is because this plan is based on the assumption of "if Voldemort attacks Hogwarts again".

If something like this happens again, as the presidents of the student union, they must stand up and guide students to evacuate. In order to avoid chaos, preparing a plan in advance can be considered a precautionary measure.

Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon, the train arrived at the Hogsmeade platform smoothly.

When the train stopped, both Scott and Caccini couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The trip went without incident, which was perfect for them.

After getting off the bus, Scott found his roommates and took a carriage with them to Hogwarts Castle.

The brightly lit auditorium, the dazzling array of food, the old students and friends, the anxious new students, the annual opening dinner was once again staged.

Dumbledore's principal's speech didn't have much new ideas. He just expressed his welcome to the new students who had completed the sorting as usual.

But at this time, except for the freshmen, most of the students in the auditorium were staring at a certain professor on the teacher's bench with surprised eyes.

Eddie, who was sitting next to Scott, also looked at their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in surprise -

Professor Moody.

"He is really amazing!" He said in an exclamatory tone, "Incredible! He defeated the curse of the mysterious man! This is the first time!"

Everyone else's emotions were similar to his.

Given Voldemort's curse on the position, this was the only Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that any Hogwarts student had ever seen hold a two-year term.

But Scott just wants to say that Professor Moody is really brave.

Now that we have spent the whole school year safely, shouldn't we rejoice that the curse has not taken effect while quickly resigning and settling down to stay safe?

This professor actually dares to be re-elected!

He doesn't know how powerful it is, Dumbledore should know.

So the old principal would probably dissuade him. After all, Professor Moody is also a key member of the Order of the Phoenix and cannot afford to lose.

But Professor Moody is still sitting here, which means that he did not listen to Dumbledore's advice.

Does this mean that a skilled artist is bold?

Facing the complicated gazes of most students in the auditorium, Professor Moody remained unmoved at all.

His round magic eye just turned around, causing all the students to look away immediately.

Because of Professor Moody's intimidation, no one in the auditorium openly discussed the topic about him.

After dinner, the Ravenclaws returned to the common room and immediately started a heated discussion on this issue.

Some people think that this is because Professor Moody is powerful enough, stronger than any previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so he can resist the curse.

Some people think that Professor Moody, as a senior Auror, has completely broken the curse, and they no longer have to worry about changing teachers for this course every year.

More people think that Professor Moody is just lucky, but he won't last long.

Some even began to "predict" his tragic future.

Of course, some students who liked Professor Moody began to discuss giving the professor some magic items that could resist curses as gifts.

I wonder what Professor Moody would think when he heard this.

Anyway, the group of freshmen who followed the fifth-year male and female prefects to the common room were stunned for a moment, with horror on their faces.

Scott and the others did not participate in the discussion, they just listened for a while and then returned to the dormitory.

They prepare to enjoy Milton's magical musical concert.

Roger and Eddie had already seen it, but they kept it secret, as if they wanted to see Scott's surprised reaction.

Scott is of course very curious about Milton's musical magic, and doesn't know what the difference is with Medea's musical magic.

Back in the dormitory, they didn't even pack their luggage and urged Milton to start his performance.

Scott sat on the edge of the bed and watched expectantly as Milton took out his cello and cast a few spells to isolate the sounds inside and outside.
