After hearing the news brought by Eddie, Scott felt that “things finally came”.
But at the same time, he also felt a little guilty. He had been obsessed with his own things recently and ignored Milton’s actions.
“Let’s go, let’s go and see.” He said to Eddie.
When the two came to the school hospital, Milton had woken up.
“Milton, are you okay?”
Scott and Eddie walked into the ward quickly after obtaining the consent of Mrs. Pomfrey.
“You are here.”
Milton was sitting on the bed and smiled at them.
He looked a little weak.
“What happened?”
Scott glanced at Mrs. Pomfrey who was staring at them from a distance, and asked Milton softly.
“It seems that your actions are not going well.”
Milton shook his head.
“As you often say, Scott.” His voice was a little hoarse, “Everyone has to pay the corresponding price for the choices they make.”
At this point, he lowered his head.
“I agreed to the exchange of the oath myself, and I chose to give up music myself. Now I want to regret it… This is wrong.”
“Let’s not talk about the right or wrong of this matter.” He said to Milton, “You tell us the details of what happened and how you fainted there.”
Milton shook his head.
His long hair covered his face, and Scott couldn’t see his expression clearly.
“Milton, let us help you together.” Eddie said, “If you can’t do it alone, maybe we can do it together.”
“No.”
Milton shook his head again.
“You can’t participate in this matter.” He said firmly, “Because of the constraints of the oath, even the professors can’t intervene in this matter.”
Scott said: “Professor Flitwick said, but the oath only constrains professors, and there is no restriction for us students.”
Milton raised his head and looked at them seriously, “I’m fine now, although I’m a little unwilling to lose the music.”
He showed a relieved smile.
“But my magic power has become much stronger, and I can also learn spells with ease. This is a good thing, isn’t it?”
Scott didn’t say anything.
Because he noticed that Milton’s hands were tightly grasping the bed sheet, and his knuckles were white.
Scott and Eddie persuaded Milton for a while, but Milton still refused to give in, which made them temporarily unable to help even if they wanted to.
In the end, they could only let Milton have a good rest, and then left the school hospital under the drive of Madam Pomfrey.
After Roger’s Quidditch training was over, the three discussed the matter in the dormitory again.
“What should we do?” Eddie asked, “Go to the classical music club to investigate?”
Roger shook his head, “That’s useless.”
“Why?” Eddie asked.
“There were so many people who heard the sound of the organ together, but in the end the so-called oath only chose Milton. Maybe those who can talk to the oath also have to go through some kind of screening.” Roger guessed.
“The oath also needs to see the bargaining chips of the transaction object clearly?” Scott said, “Maybe Milton’s musical talent is the best among that group of people.”
“In this case, it seems that I can’t do it.”
Roger said very self-awarely.
“Whether it’s magic or Quidditch, my talent is not top-notch.”
“Oh, don’t be so modest, Roger.” Eddie suddenly said with a smile, “Your talent in picking up girls is definitely top-notch.”
Roger gave him a fake smile, “Thank you, Eddie, you also have the talent of a top gossip reporter.”
“It’s a pity, the Oath probably doesn’t like our talent.” Eddie said regretfully, looking at Scott.
Roger also turned his head to look at him at the same time.
“It’s up to you, Scott.” The two said in unison.
“…”
Scott was silent for a few seconds, then said: “Okay, I’ll try.”
“No.”
“Forget it.”
Roger and Eddie stopped him again.
Eddie said worriedly: “What if the Oath didn’t like your painting talent, but your Transfiguration talent?”
“Too dangerous.” Roger also said, “Although Milton got a fair deal, we can’t guarantee that the Oath will not force the deal.”
Scott thought that there should be no possibility of forced trading.
“According to Professor Flitwick, the oath was signed by Rowena Ravenclaw and someone.” He reminded the two.
Roger and Eddie also thought of this and immediately felt relieved.
“Then you go and try it.”
“It would be great if you could talk to the oath and ask Milton what price he would have to pay to get his musical talent back.”
Scott nodded.
“We can also ask those ghosts.” He suggested, “They have lived in the castle for a long time and may know something.”
He thought Ms. Grey might know something, after all, she is the daughter of Ravenclaw.
Scott’s proposal was agreed by Roger and Eddie, and the three of them quickly divided the work on this matter.
Since Scott had talked to Ms. Grey and got her help, the task of asking her was still given to him.
Eddie, who was best at getting information, was responsible for dealing with the most difficult Bloody Baron.
The ghosts of the other two colleges were handed over to Roger, after all, he had a Hufflepuff girlfriend to help.
Speaking of ghosts, Scott suddenly had an idea at some point.
“Haven’t we seen Peeves for a long time?” He asked Roger and Eddie with a subtle expression.
“Peeves?”
“Really.”
Roger and Eddie also reacted at the same time.
“This is not right.” Scott said, “Peeves has not appeared in the castle for a long time, but no one seems to have noticed it.”
“If you hadn’t mentioned it suddenly, I would have forgotten the existence of Peeves.” Eddie said with some horror.
Roger also widened his eyes, “Is there some connection between these two things?”
Peeves is a mischievous little ghost, who is said to have existed since the founding of Hogwarts.
He likes to create pranks and chaos, and has always been a headache for teachers and students in the school, especially the administrators.
Such a nasty ghost who often plays pranks in the castle and causes chaos has disappeared silently for so long…
This makes Scott and others feel incredible when they think about it.
“I’ll ask Fred and George about this matter,” Scott said, “They are more familiar with Peeves.”
The conversation that night ended here, but Scott and the other two were a little confused.
The next day, they acted separately according to the plan.
Before class in the morning, Scott walked into the library of the college common room at an empty time.
“Good morning, Ms. Grey.”
He bowed to Ms. Grey floating in front of a window.
“Is it you?”
Ms. Grey turned her head with indifferent eyes.
“What else?” She asked coldly.
