In the dormitory that night, Scott sat on a blue velvet single sofa by the window in his pajamas, playing with a silver-gray metal block in his hand.
“Scott.”
Roger came over and sat directly on the window sill.
“You must have discovered something at noon.” He said affirmatively. “I must say, you didn’t look very good at that time.”
Scott understood that he was talking about the two Ravenclaw freshmen, Jacob Kent and Caitlin Rohr.
The two people who had had huge conflicts for a long time seemed to have reconciled, and they were even seen hanging out with Slytherin’s Jasmine Travers at noon.
He was about to speak when Eddie, who was already lying on the bed on the other side, suddenly sat up and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Milton, another member of this dormitory, also opened his already tight bed curtains.
He was still feeling sad because of his humiliation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but now he raised his head and asked the two of them: “At noon? What happened after I left? But when you returned to the dormitory at noon But said nothing.”
Of course, unlike Eddie whose face was full of desire for gossip, Milton’s somewhat haggard face was only filled with concern for his friends.
Facing the questions from the other two roommates, Roger hesitated to speak at first, and then looked at Scott again.
Scott nodded to him with helplessness on his face.
“Is such that……”
Roger immediately stood up and walked to the center of the dormitory, and began to vividly describe to Eddie and Milton the unusual scene he saw at noon.
Listening to Roger’s story, Milton gradually frowned, but Eddie let out several exclamations one after another.
When Roger finished speaking, the three people turned to look at Scott together.
“…”
Facing the three pairs of eyes with different expressions, Scott didn’t want to speak for a while.
“…”
However, the three roommates continued to stare at him persistently.
Scott sighed secretly and said to them: “This matter seems a bit complicated and troublesome. Are you sure you want to take care of it?”
“No.” Eddie shook his head first, “This matter is related to the ‘Poison Doll’ lady. You have already warned me.”
Scott laughed. Since being sternly warned by him, that kid Eddie has started to refer to Jasmine Travers as a ‘poison doll’ in order to avoid accidentally spilling the beans.
“And… Travert and Rolle, listen to those last names.”
Eddie shrugged, a funny look on his face.
“Two of the great ‘Twenty-Eight Pureblood Families’? Merlin, I’m just a little Muggle-born wizard, and I can’t afford to cause trouble for such a pureblood.”
Roger smiled and said, “And Morgan Avery, Jasmine Travers’ Slytherin companion.”
He followed Eddie’s example and shrugged his shoulders, “He is also one of the great ‘Twenty-Eight Pureblood Families’.”
“But……”
Milton got up from the bed, put on his slippers and sat on the edge of the bed, tying his long hair casually.
He said worriedly: “Kent and Rohr are our new students in Ravenclaw House after all. What if… what if they are bullied by Slytherin?”
“Especially Kent, he is also a Muggle-born little wizard.” Eddie, who was the most knowledgeable, added, looking at Scott again.
“Kent…”
Scott recalled seeing Jacob Kent at noon.
Compared to the poor boy who met him in the common room on the first morning of the new term, it was obvious that the boy had changed a lot.
Even the magic he perceived was very different.
If there weren’t some parts that hadn’t changed, he might have thought that the boy he saw was someone else who drank Polyjuice Potion and pretended to be him.
“That boy, I gave him a chance to ask for help.” Scott said to Roger, “If he was forced, he should have followed my instructions and went to the auditorium with us immediately.”
He is not the kind of warm-hearted and kind-hearted person who helps others casually. This level is already the limit.
“But I remember you also said that the boy has changed.” Roger said, “Although I don’t know what happened, maybe the boy’s change is also related to Miss Poison Doll.”
“It is indeed possible.” Scott did not deny it.
He knew very well that if a wizard’s magic power changed greatly in a short period of time, it was most likely because he had practiced some kind of black magic.
But he didn’t say it.
Jacob Kent is a young Muggle-born wizard who has just entered school. I’m afraid no one can believe that he has the ability to practice black magic within a short period of time after enrolling.
Roger continued: “Although Ravenclaw has generally remained neutral in the struggle between Slytherin and Gryffindor, if Miss Slytherin’s ‘Poison Doll’ has put her poisonous hand in Ravenclaw, we must respond as quickly as possible.”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Scott, shamelessly leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and pretended to squeeze his shoulders.
“So what should we do? Please make a decision quickly! The uncrowned king of Room 16 of the male dormitory of Ravenclaw Academy, Mr. Trollope!”
“When did I get such a long and uncool title?” Scott was dumbfounded. He wanted to smash Roger’s head with the metal block in his hand.
“I just came up with it!” Roger’s hand on his shoulder became more and more vigorous. “In order to deal with the poisonous hand that secretly reached out from Slytherin, I decided to recommend you as the commander of this operation to lead us to victory. ”
“Go away.”
Scott broke away from Roger’s hand and looked at the three roommates seriously.
“So…what exactly do you want to do?”
“Of course everything will be subject to your decision, Mr. Trollope.” Roger said still pretending.
Eddie and Milton nodded in agreement.
“Yes, I choose to listen to you too, Scott.”
“Me too.”
“Tsk, you cunning guys.” Scott couldn’t help but laughed and cursed.
After pondering for a moment, he said to his roommates: “Although I don’t know what role Travers played in the incident on the first night of school, it is very likely that the incident has something to do with her.”
He tossed the piece of metal in his hand.
“But we don’t have to do anything specifically next. Let’s keep an eye on these new students, Eddie. To be honest, I’m also a little curious…what exactly will Miss Travers do.”
Scott thought of the girl’s eyes when their eyes met twice. Those silver-gray eyes inadvertently revealed the deep-hidden cruelty and viciousness.
“I see!”
Eddie climbed out of bed excitedly and patted his chest confidently.
“Leave the matter of gathering information to me!”
