The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

After listening to Professor Flitwick's story, Scott was very interested in the oath he mentioned.

He asked Professor Flitwick, "Professor, can you tell us the details of the oath?"

But Professor Flitwick shook his head.

"Sorry, Scott." He said helplessly, "Unfortunately, that's all I know."

Scott confirmed with him again, "So, the only thing you can be sure of is that the oath will not cause irreparable harm to them?"

Professor Flitwick nodded, "At the beginning, only Dumbledore and the deans of the four colleges knew about this. Under the witness of Hogwarts Castle, the conditions of the oath cannot be violated."

He sighed, "But that only prevents irreparable harm, and in fact, the students are already hurt now."

"Sure enough, their haggard state is not just because of overdrawn energy." Scott said.

Professor Flitwick nodded with a worried expression, "They have paid some vitality."

He added: "Although Madam Pomfrey can restore them to their state, the damage has been done."

Scott asked, "Can't you ban them from participating in club activities?"

Professor Flitwick shook his head again.

Scott understood that this was also a restriction of the oath.

"We didn't want to agree to the implementation of that oath at first."

Professor Flitwick clenched his fist.

"It's just... it's a very old oath. From the date of signing far away from now, it is destined to take effect one day."

Scott asked curiously, "Then do you know who the two parties who signed the oath are?"

Professor Flitwick's expression was a little tangled.

But in the curious eyes of Scott and Eddie, he still spoke out the answer, "The other party of the oath hid his real name, but it was Rowena Ravenclaw who signed the oath on behalf of Hogwarts."

Scott was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Ravenclaw?"

Eddie couldn't help but exclaimed.

Professor Flitwick nodded affirmatively.

Scott could only say that he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He sighed secretly.

Sure enough, a real world is much more complicated than what is described in the "original" novel.

The "original" is an adventure story about the "boy who survived" from the perspective of Harry Potter.

But in places not described in the "original book", outside of Harry's perspective and cognition, countless events in this real world are happening simultaneously, or have happened before.

Professor Flitwick added: "It is precisely because it is Ravenclaw, the great wizard who founded Hogwarts with her friends, that we can choose to believe her."

Scott pondered for a moment and digested the information he received.

"Milton and the others are now facing a choice between their own safety and the pursuit of music?"

He guessed in a strange tone.

"But the situation now is... you must have warned them, but they know that it will not cause irreparable harm, so they don't care and continue to indulge in it?"

He was still very puzzled, "What is the purpose of the oath? Just to absorb the vitality of some students?"

He always felt that there was something hidden.

But Professor Flitwick only knew so much.

He looked at Scott and Eddie kindly: "The conditions of the oath prevent professors from exploring the truth, but they did not stop students. In short, it depends on you to do it, and this is also your choice."

Scott felt that he needed to think about it carefully.

After thanking Professor Flitwick, he and Eddie left the professor's office together.

After leaving the office, he couldn't help but fall into thought, which caused him to walk slower and slower.

At this time, even Eddie, who usually talks a lot, remained silent.

Scott walked and passed by an open window.

The cold wind poured into the corridor from the window, making him shudder and come back to his senses.

He stretched out his hand to tie the thick cloak on his body tighter, and turned to look at Eddie.

"What do you think about this?" he asked.

Eddie said hesitantly: "Since Professor Flitwick said that it will not cause irreversible danger... then can we just ignore it?"

Scott said: "If it's really just like this..."

Eddie suddenly laughed, "I know you will say this next..."

He began to deliberately imitate Scott's tone of voice - lowering his voice and speaking slowly: "Since the danger is not too high, as long as it is Milton's own choice, we should not interfere."

"..."

Scott gave him a fake smile.

At this time, another gust of cold wind passed through the corridor, and the two of them shrank their necks at the same time.

Feeling the temperature getting colder and colder, they decided to return to the common room with a fireplace as soon as possible.

They quickened their pace and climbed from the eighth floor of the main building of the castle to the first floor. After reaching the Ravenclaw Tower, they climbed up to the eighth floor of the tower again.

When the two stood outside the door of the common room, Eddie, who was "overexercised", had already started panting.

"What will naturally come together after being broken?"

The bronze door knocker on the door asked the two people dutifully.

"Water... surface." Eddie, who was panting, rushed to answer.

"Correct." The door knocker said.

The door opened and the two walked into the common room.

The common room was busy at this time.

Many Ravenclaw students are still regretting their narrow defeat in today's Quidditch match.

They were all gathered around several team members, and they all took the initiative to make suggestions for them.

This may be the time when the Ravenclaws, who usually only focus on their own affairs, look the most enthusiastic, which makes Scott have to lament the charm of Quidditch again.

"Roger!"

Scott waved to Roger, who was sitting on a couch in the crowd.

"Oh! You are back!"

Roger stood up and pushed his way through the crowd.

He was still holding a broomstick in his hand, and he was still wearing a dirty team uniform and protective gear.

"It seems you're not too depressed?" Scott glanced at him specifically.

"We have played very well." Roger said optimistically. "Bruce believes that Qiu will try his best to grow up and ask everyone not to put too much pressure on her. Of course, I think so too."

"Let's go back to the dormitory. We need to talk about the classical music club."

Scott took the lead towards the stairs leading to the dormitory.

After the three returned to the dormitory, Roger changed his clothes while listening to Eddie talk about what he and Scott had experienced today.

"Yes, I have asked Professor Flitwick before." Roger said, "He told me not to worry too much."

"But you didn't tell us!" Eddie said dissatisfied.

Roger said: "I had been persuading Milton out of good intentions and worried about their accident, but you didn't stand by me."

He obviously did it on purpose.

Eddie couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Scott walked to the bed and sat down. He said to the other two people: "Professor Flitwick has warned them, but it may be that the music confused them."

Roger spread his hands: "Since they haven't given up, I'm afraid they are ready to bear the price."

Eddie smiled and said: "In that case, let them go crazy. The most serious consequence is to lie in the school hospital for a week or two."

Scott felt that there must be something hidden in that mysterious oath.

He had a lot of doubts about it.

Who was the person who signed the oath with Ravenclaw?

Why did the other party hide their real name?

What is the purpose of such an oath that takes so much trouble to run across a thousand years?

Just some life force?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

Also, is he the only one who can think of these doubts?

Of course it's impossible.

The professors did not take any action and seemed to be restricted by the conditions attached to the oath.

Is this restriction really binding?

The point is, can Dumbledore be restrained?

Scott also expressed doubts.

He also knew that Roger and Eddie must have sensed something was wrong, but because the professors were there, they chose to ignore it.

To be honest, if Milton hadn't been involved in the incident, Scott wouldn't be interested in thinking about this extremely weird thing here.

It sounds like a trap.

Anyway, after thinking for a while, he finally decided——

Let’s wait and see for a while.
