That night, Scott, who had left the Transfiguration Club, came to the elevated stone bridge outside the castle again.
When his scarf and cloak were blown up in the wind, the familiar music sounded in his ears again.
Scott closed his eyes slightly in comfort.
But just as he was enjoying the wonderful feeling of his thoughts floating with the music, the beautiful music stopped abruptly.
Scott opened his eyes with some discomfort.
He sighed, and it was not so easy to get a bargain for free.
“Come on, kid, maybe we can talk.”
He heard Medea’s voice.
Scott leaned on the railing of the stone bridge and asked, “What do you want to talk about, respected Miss Slytherin…”
He paused, and then tentatively added, “Or should I call you Mrs. Gaunt?”
“Oh, kid, you can just call me Medea!” At this point, the other party’s voice suddenly turned cold, “But don’t mention that surname in front of me!”
She obviously didn’t like her identity as “Mrs. Gaunt”.
Scott raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
It seems that there are some unknown stories in it.
“Okay, Medea.”
He changed the address without trying to provoke the other party.
“What’s your name, child?” Medea asked.
“Scott Trollope.”
After answering his name, Scott asked directly: “You let me hear your music on purpose. Do you want me to make a deal with you like Milton, Medea?”
“It depends on you, Scott.” Medea said reservedly, “It’s because you have something you want to have that you can hear my music.”
“Really? But how can I not know? I think I am very satisfied with my current situation.” Scott said with a smile.
Medea’s voice came again, “That’s because you are still confused. Go away until you figure out what you really want, and then come to me.”
You are quite understanding.
Scott sighed.
Medea obviously knew that it was not a deal to rush to buy and sell.
As the party in control of the oath, she needed to create a sense of mystery of her superiority.
Scott smiled without comment and did not leave obediently.
He spoke again, “Can I ask you a few questions, Medea?”
Medea was silent for a while before answering, “It depends on what your question is. As a Ravenclaw, you should know that knowledge is valuable. So I will never give you knowledge for free.”
Scott immediately felt that the other party was very good at prescribing the right medicine.
Ravenclaws are indeed prone to go crazy in pursuit of knowledge.
He thought about it and asked tentatively, “Why would Ravenclaw sign a pledge with you on behalf of Hogwarts?”
This time, Medea was silent for a longer time.
But she finally spoke.
“This question can be free.” She said, “This is my request, and she can’t refuse. This is the compensation from the other three founders to me and my father.”
Scott asked again: “What do they owe you?”
Medea responded straightforwardly, “Because of them, my father had to go far away! Because of them, I lost my father’s protection!”
Scott was even more curious, and he couldn’t help asking: “Did they really disagree on whether to recruit young wizards from Muggle families?”
“You can say that, but it’s not entirely right.”
Medea didn’t seem to want to hide these things.
“My father doesn’t want to admit Muggle-born little wizards to Hogwarts.”
Her words were clearly heard by Scott.
“This did cause a disagreement between him and the other three founders, and he even had a big fight with Gryffindor. This is all true…”
Scott guessed that there should be a “but”.
“…But, my father didn’t look down on Muggle-born little wizards. He just didn’t trust them because their beliefs were difficult to change.”
This was similar to what Scott had guessed before.
The four founders were like-minded friends.
If Slytherin had engaged in narrow-minded discrimination based on blood like Voldemort, they would never have been able to get along at the beginning.
In addition, we should analyze specific issues specifically. From the perspective of the background of the time, Slytherin’s ideas were not completely unreasonable.
On the other hand, from Medea’s answer, this Miss Slytherin was not completely ignorant of the outside world.
On the contrary, she should be clearly aware of the problems facing the magic world today.
From the time the oath was running, she should have just woken up not long ago.
Scott was very curious about her source of information.
Medea added, “My father’s departure was not entirely out of anger. Hogwarts is also his hard work. He will do everything to protect this school!”
“You mean…” Scott said, “Slytherin’s departure is to protect Hogwarts in secret?”
“Of course!”
Medea said proudly.
“In that era, except for the common enemy of the wizards, the Church, not all wizards were willing to see the establishment of magic schools!”
“So that’s the case.”
Scott responded casually.
He didn’t completely believe Medea’s words.
Of course, he wouldn’t question her directly.
However, it was rare that Medea seemed willing to answer questions, so he continued to ask, “Medea, do you know where Peeves went?”
“Peeves?” Medea said coldly, “When the oath began to run, he was bound as one of the fulcrums supporting the oath.”
So that’s it…
Scott smacked his lips.
Peeves is so miserable!
He then asked: “You are not a ghost, how did you exist from that era to the present?”
Medea laughed.
Her laughter was sometimes far and sometimes near, which seemed a bit weird.
“This question…” She stopped laughing, “It’s not free.”
“Then what price do I have to pay to get the answer?” Scott asked curiously.
Medea laughed again, “It’s very simple, you need to take out one-fifth of your magic power to trade with me.”
“One-fifth?” Scott raised his eyebrows again, “Will the magic power be restored after the transaction?”
“Of course not!” Medea said coldly, “Your magic power will permanently lose one-fifth of the total.”
“Then forget it.”
Scott immediately gave up the idea.
He chose to ask the next question, “What happened between you and Ms. Grey?”
“You have enough questions!”
Medea said suddenly unhappy.
“I can only tell you that she is not a Grey Lady at all. She is Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw!”
“…”
Scott found it a little funny that the two ladies revealed each other’s identities.
He pretended to be shocked, “What? Ms. Grey is actually the daughter of Ravenclaw!”
Unfortunately, his performance was not responded to.
Then, he said several more words, but Medea never spoke again.
Scott curled his lips helplessly and turned away.
He probably won’t have the chance to get a bargain again.
Putting aside the questions he asked, Medea’s music helped him a lot, which made him a little regretful.
Scott didn’t know what kind of means Medea’s music was, so he temporarily called it music magic.
At this moment, he couldn’t help thinking…
It would be great if he could get the music magic with extremely powerful auxiliary power.
In addition…
If Milton can regain his musical talent, he will definitely be very suitable to learn this strange magic.
