William, who almost succeeded in tricking Scott, used a small fireplace to contact Scott that night.
Scott still hadn’t left the Room of Requirement at that time.
“I don’t ask why you did that, William.”
Scott spoke to the small fireplace with a green flame burning in his hand.
“Have you met with our Professor Hagrid today? I wonder if you will serve as his defense lawyer…”
Before William could answer, he continued: “I think you’d better do what you promised, for the sake of the Thestrals who were stolen by you.”
He stressed, “That was tamed by Hagrid. He tamed the Thestrals. Only Hagrid in the whole UK can do this.”
“Oh, it’s rare to hear you say such a long list of words, Scott, it seems you are really a little angry.” William said with a smile, “But I did not participate in their actions, I have been in London, you know , preparing to take the college entrance examination.”
“Really, are you really taking the college entrance examination?” Scott asked with a smile, “Ms. Slytherin’s Green Robe organization just needs a barrister who graduated from Cambridge University Law School and is proficient in Muggle law?”
“We don’t call ourselves men in green robes.” William said helplessly.
Scott pretended to be surprised, “Then what should people call you? You know, those Death Eaters are also famous because they have a loud organization name.”
“I think we all know it already,” William said.
“Indeed,” Scott said, “because you almost broke the wizarding secrecy.”
William smiled, “No, because we have Ms. Slytherin, and her last name is a flag.”
“Oh, last name? Do you also want to do the ‘pure blood supremacy’ thing?” Scott asked deliberately.
“You know this is of course impossible.” William ignored his sarcasm. “Ms. Slytherin doesn’t care whether a wizard is pure blood. She only sees a wizard’s true talent.”
He emphasized, “This is why Ms. Slytherin values you.”
“It seems that you are not as hierarchical as the Death Eaters.” Scott added, “I didn’t even hear you call ‘Lord’.”
William’s tone remained calm, “Of course, Ms. Slytherin doesn’t like Voldemort’s tricks.”
“So what are the aims and goals of your organization?” Scott asked, “Medea wanted to win me over, but she never told me her ideals.”
“I think you should understand.” William said.
Scott said firmly: “No, I don’t understand.”
“Well, the only reason you don’t understand is because you don’t want to think and understand us.”
William’s voice became more serious.
“Ms. Slytherin just wants wizards to be competitive and not lose to Muggles. As you know, Muggle technology is developing faster and faster…”
He paused, seemingly giving Scott a few seconds to think.
Then he continued: “Ms. Slytherin believes that wizards have not thought about making progress for a long time. This will not work. One day Muggles will even discover us and completely occupy our living space on this planet. “
Scott asked him, “Do you want to start a war? A war with Muggles? I remember your parents were Muggles, William.”
“No, Ms. Slytherin does not want to start a war like Gellert Grindelwald.” William said, “Her purpose is just to keep wizards competitive and not be surpassed by the technological development of Muggles.”
His tone was a little excited.
“Perhaps one day, wizards will be able to find a better and more open way to get along with Muggles. This is why I am going to college to prepare for this.”
At this point, he laughed.
“You’re right, maybe in the future we will need a barrister who graduated from Cambridge Law School and is proficient in Muggle law.”
“This all sounds great.” Scott smiled playfully, “It seems that Ms. Slytherin is really a great wizard with great foresight. She is working hard for all wizards in the entire magical world.”
William immediately said, “That’s it, so why don’t you join us, Scott!”
“Sorry, I don’t quite believe that.”
Scott’s words took a turn.
“After all, that lady sacrificed two wizards in front of me without hesitation.”
William said: “No…”
Scott interrupted, “If you still remember Professor Lockhart’s tragic death, by the way, I would like to remind you that his and Yaxley’s bodies melted like candles.”
“them……”
William wanted to say something again, but Scott interrupted him again.
“That lady is still threatening me today.” He spoke faster, “If I can’t help her find Voldemort’s Horcrux, she will sacrifice the lives of more wizards.”
Scott laughed again, “That lady doesn’t take the lives of other wizards seriously. They are like livestock in her eyes. Will she work hard for the future of wizards? Sorry, I think this is a bit ridiculous. “
“Ms. Slytherin wouldn’t do that!” William raised his voice.
He finished this sentence quickly and loudly, but found that Scott did not interrupt him again this time.
Then his voice returned to normal, “She is just joking with you. She will not sacrifice the wizard’s life at will.”
“Where are Lockhart and Yaxley?” Scott asked.
“The situation was special. If they were not sacrificed, Ms. Slytherin would not be able to leave in front of Dumbledore.” William made up for Medea, “Besides, both Lockhart and Yaxley are criminals.”
Scott just smiled at his statement.
He suddenly felt that this was very boring.
William continued: “Lockhart used the memory spell to steal the legendary experiences of many wizards. This is the origin of his best-selling books. He is just a liar! And Yaxley wants to murder you!”
“William.” Scott reminded calmly, “If it was Medea herself, she would not justify her behavior like this.”
William was silent for a moment, “Well, it’s my fault. Ms. Slytherin’s thoughts are not something I can understand.”
Scott felt a little regretful. William was obviously a smart guy…
He couldn’t figure out why William believed in Medea’s words so much.
But William probably couldn’t understand Scott’s resistance.
“Why do you resist, Scott?” His tone was puzzled. “Even if you don’t want to join us, it’s always a good thing to help Ms. Slytherin defeat Voldemort.”
“I don’t want to hurt you.” He emphasized.
“Yeah.” Scott responded casually.
William really didn’t want to hurt him, he just wanted to trick him.
William continued: “Voldemort represents the concept of ‘pure blood supremacy’, Scott, we are all from Muggle families, you should understand that ‘pure blood supremacy’ is contrary to our position.”
“Of course I understand.” Scott said.
“Then why do you refuse to help? Voldemort’s disappearance is obviously a good thing for the entire wizarding world!” William’s tone was helpless.
“You’re right.” Scott said, “But I can’t do it. I said, I don’t have the ability to find the Horcrux.”
After that, he took the initiative to close the call.
After testing William for so long and saying a lot of words, he was also tired.
William would not understand that for him, Voldemort’s disappearance was indeed a good thing, but Medea’s complete recovery was not a good thing.
If a good thing is accompanied by a bigger bad thing, it is better to maintain two things with a mixture of good and bad.
