After Scott walked out of the spider’s nest, he took out his broom again and flew around the nest.
“Aguamanent!”
Whenever a flame went beyond the limit, he used the water control spell to extinguish it.
Until he could no longer sense any magical fluctuations from the nest, he repeatedly used the water control spell to extinguish it.
At the same time, he could clearly feel through the contract that his challenge had been completed.
Such a result was incredibly smooth.
Scott didn’t even feel the joy of completing the challenge.
There must be something fishy!
He thought firmly.
But…what is Medea’s purpose?
He always thought that Medea made so many things to make him fail the challenge, and he was mentally prepared for the failure of the challenge.
But he succeeded just like that?
Although there were many sudden obstacles and troublesome battles during the challenge, but…
If Medea didn’t want him to succeed in the challenge, wouldn’t she just have someone catch a little spider and hide it?
Scott didn’t believe that she wouldn’t think of such a simple way to block it!
So, what is her purpose?
Why give such a challenge project?
Why did he inform Carlo and Yaxley who were hostile to him?
Why did he create obstacles but not use all his strength?
Scott really couldn’t figure it out at this moment.
At this moment, he sensed Dumbledore coming.
So he put away his complicated thoughts, fell to the ground from the air, put away his broom and looked in the direction where Dumbledore came.
Not long after, the dark woods lit up, and Dumbledore appeared in his eyes through the forest with warm light.
There were several orange light balls floating around him, and Yaxley and Carlo were tied with ropes and also floating behind him.
Scott could see the expression on Yaxley’s face. He was full of shame, ashamed and angry at the moment.
And Carlo seemed much calmer because he had enjoyed this treatment more than once.
“Professor!” Scott hurried over, “How are Professor Flitwick and Ms. Grey? Are they okay?”
Dumbledore answered calmly: “They were attacked by an unknown wizard. I found traces of the use of the portkey at the scene. Severus has gone to the Ministry of Magic for help.”
“Professor, who can take Ms. Grey away?” Scott has always been curious about this question.
Dumbledore smiled, “You have seen too little magic, Scott.”
Scott nodded, very interested in magic that can touch ghosts.
I wonder if his full-time teacher, the portrait of Ravenclaw, knows such knowledge.
Dumbledore glanced at the completely burned eight-eyed spider nest behind Scott, his eyes flashed.
He asked, “It seems that you have completed the challenge, Scott.”
Scott replied, “I can feel the changes in the contract. I did complete the challenge, professor.”
“That’s good.”
Dumbledore smiled at first, and then immediately became a little sad.
“I can sense that Hagrid will burst into tears. To be honest, he is much more difficult to deal with when he cries than an eight-eyed spider.”
Is this the reason why you have allowed dangerous monsters like eight-eyed spiders to grow and multiply in the Forbidden Forest for so many years?
Scott wanted to complain directly.
I don’t believe you, you old man are very bad.
At this time, he felt a scrutiny.
Scott turned his head to look at Yaxley, and saw the scrutiny and contempt in his eyes.
“I overheard their conversation, professor.”
Scott pointed at Yaxley and said.
“Carlo said that the one who attacked Professor Flitwick and others was from the Yaxley family, and he was surprised that the man took action.”
“Nonsense!”
Yaxley immediately glared at Scott fiercely.
“Don’t talk nonsense without evidence. Pure-blood wizards will not allow mudbloods like you to slander…”
“Woo woo woo…-“
Dumbledore just waved his hand, and Yaxley was forced to shut up.
“I know.” Dumbledore said in a soothing tone, “Don’t worry, Filius is not an easy wizard to deal with. Even I am not sure I can defeat him.”
Scott nodded, “Yes, I hope Professor Flitwick and Ms. Grey are okay.”
Nonsense.
Of course he knew that Dumbledore was exaggerating, but since it was a soothing, he took it.
“The Yaxley family wants my life, professor.”
Scott continued to complain.
“I heard them discussing that the Yaxley family and Travers, who was in Azkaban, had reached a deal.”
Yaxley looked at Scott with more and more resentment.
“I will take care of this matter, Scott.”
Dumbledore said kindly.
“As the principal of this school, I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation.”
“Thank you for your help, professor.”
Scott bowed to thank him.
Dumbledore has caught the handle of two pure-blood wizard families again this time, and he is not interested in participating in the series of political struggles that will be triggered later.
But…
Some information still needs to be told to Dumbledore.
He then went on to tell about Carlo and Medea’s previous connection, including the ins and outs of the two people’s appearance here.
He did not mention the strangeness of the successful completion of this challenge.
He didn’t believe Dumbledore wouldn’t think of it.
After listening to Scott’s story, Dumbledore just nodded slightly, “Let’s go, let’s go and take a look at Ms. Slytherin.”
Then, he called the name of the phoenix.
“Fawkes.”
Accompanied by a pleasant chirping, the big red bird suddenly appeared out of thin air above everyone’s head.
It stretched its gorgeous wings and tail feathers in the air, like a fireball, illuminating the surroundings more brightly.
“Lower, Fawkes.”
Dumbledore asked the phoenix to lower a little.
“Hold its tail feathers.”
He gestured to Scott.
Scott reached out and grabbed the feathers of the phoenix, feeling that his palm was a little hot.
Then, Dumbledore held the rope that tied the two people with one hand and held the feathers of the phoenix with the other hand.
“Take us to the rock under the stone bridge, Fawkes.”
With Dumbledore’s order, Scott felt his body wrapped in a ball of fiery magic, and then his eyes blurred and he arrived at the destination.
There was no feeling of traveling through space at all.
Although Scott had not yet experienced Apparition, he had also traveled through fireplaces.
Compared to that, the feeling of being teleported by the Phoenix was too smooth.
“Go.”
Dumbledore’s voice brought him back to his senses.
“You come and open the entrance.” He said with a smile, “I hope you can sing the school song more beautifully.”
“…”
Scott nodded.
He walked forward and sang the entire school song with gritted teeth.
As the stone door emerged, Dumbledore clapped several times.
“Very good, I haven’t heard such a beautiful school song for a long time.” He said with emotion.
Isn’t that natural!
Scott remembered the school song chorus at every opening dinner.
You let everyone sing a different tune, even a different rhythm, it would be a miracle if it could sound good!
