Hearing Malfoy’s words, the group of Slytherin pure-blood students and descendants of Death Eaters immediately cheered up.
“You’re absolutely right, Draco!”
“This is a complete joke!”
“Wizards need to compete with Muggles to survive better? How ignorant can someone say such a thing?”
“No truly sane person would express such a view. This so-called exclusive interview was directed and acted by that hateful woman Skeeter!”
“No, that slippery woman wouldn’t do such a thing for no reason. There must be someone behind it.”
They began to discuss who instigated the Daily Prophet and Rita Skeeter to create this fake exclusive interview, and what they wanted to achieve.
And they weren’t the only ones who took issue with this exclusive interview because of the statement that wizards and Muggles are rivals.
Other students in Slytherin, including Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and even Gryffindor, in Scott’s observation, almost all students from wizarding families have questioned this sentence.
And they all have one thing in common – they don’t understand Muggles at all.
Scott wasn’t surprised.
In the wizarding world, wizards from non-Muggle families usually do not open their eyes to Muggles.
Even if they have walked through the Muggle world a thousand times, they are unwilling to understand anything they see.
They use extremely stereotyped impressions to guess everything about Muggles, and those impressions may come from hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
The most typical example is the Weasley family. Although Arthur has good intentions towards Muggles and is curious, and even modified a flying car with magic, he does not understand the Muggle world.
Even Professor Bubbaji of the Muggle Studies class at Hogwarts is similar. Although she has always claimed that there is no difference between Muggles and wizards, and that Muggle-born wizards and pure-blood wizards should be equal, her understanding of Muggles It is also quite subjective and one-sided.
From this point of view, it is very rare for Medea, who wakes up after sleeping for thousands of years, to really open her eyes and see the Muggle world clearly, and even have a clear enough understanding of them.
Scott did not participate in the discussion of others, shook his head, and continued to read the rest of the interview in the newspaper.
[R: If I heard you correctly, you mean that Muggles have the power to compete with wizards when it comes to survival?
M: You can say that.
R: This statement is a bit unbelievable.
M: Yes, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen with my own eyes the number of Muggles and the speed of their technological development.
R: You know, publicly declaring such a view will only bring you more doubts.
M: This is normal, and I only speak to those really smart wizards. I believe they can understand what I mean.
R: Oh, when I hear you say that, I can only say that I understand. Okay, next question, what are you going to do to ensure that wizards are competitive enough?
M: Of course, it is to speed up the discovery of magic in all aspects. Unlike Muggles, we don’t have to develop technology. Our focus is on the magic we have. Everything Muggles can do through technology, we can do through magic, and even do it better.
R: It seems that you already have a specific action plan?
M: Yes, I have gathered around me some like-minded wizards. Although they have different origins, they are all a group of talented people, and we have the same goal.
R: Can you tell us about your next plan?
M: I will dispose of the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes on Sunday next week at the Gaunt family’s old house.
R: What do you want to explain to everyone through this operation?
M: Voldemort’s mistakes will be ended by me, the daughter of Slytherin and the mistress of the Gaunt family thousands of years ago.
R: Oh, forgive me, I don’t know what to say at this time.
M: It doesn’t matter, we should focus on the future. ]
Scott quickly scanned the rest of the interview and put down the newspaper when he saw there was no more substance.
By this time, everyone else had almost finished reading the interview.
Scott observed the reactions of the students while eating, and found that the expressions on most people’s faces were a little confused, and they seemed not to understand Medea’s purpose.
“There’s something weird about this, no, it’s weird.” Eddie muttered next to Scott.
Roger asked him, “What’s weird?”
“It’s weird everywhere.” Eddie said, “This has subverted my impression of Slytherin.”
“We don’t know her,” Milton whispered.
Roger said: “Being able to regard Muggles as competitors shows that she really does not look down on Muggles. This is of course completely different from the Slytherin you have in mind.”
“There is also the matter of You-Know-Who.” Eddie lowered his voice, “I have always believed that if You-Know-Who really makes a comeback, Dumbledore should be the one who takes the lead in defeating You-Know-Who.”
“You forgot, we also have a ‘savior’.” Roger laughed.
“Oh.” Eddie turned his head and glanced at Gryffindor, “We all know that’s impossible. Potter is just a normal little wizard, and his Quidditch level is not bad.”
Milton said: “Is this true…I mean, the so-called Horcrux? If what she said is true, the mysterious man will definitely stop her from destroying the last one, not just the mysterious man, but of course, There are those minions of his.”
“I bet Dumbledore will also go there, the old house of the Gaunt family.” Eddie said with some regret, “It’s a pity that we can’t go there, this is not the Muggle world, and we can’t even watch the live broadcast on TV ”
Roger glanced at him pretending to be confused, “Where do you want to go? To die?”
“He would probably risk his life just to watch this excitement.” Scott said with a smile.
At this moment, Luna suddenly said in a confused voice: “Scott, I feel that the day when the prophecy will come true is getting closer and closer.”
Scott looked at her in surprise.
Eddie asked her, “Oh Luna, I remember you are only in second grade and haven’t started taking divination classes yet?”
Luna seemed not to understand what he meant, and she continued to say to Scott: “I have this hunch.”
“So the witch’s crisis is coming too?” Scott smiled.
He glanced again at the newspaper on the table.
This interview has certainly caused a stir throughout the British wizarding community.
Will people change their view of Medea now that she has an explanation for her actions?
Almost everyone knew that her behavior was not as simple as draining away the magic power contained in two ancient buildings.
Scott has always had an intuition——
Just like Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts not just to protect the school in secret, Medea is committed to promoting changes in the wizarding world, not just for a better future.
Scott and Medea only had real face-to-face contact three times at Hogwarts.
Whether in terms of behavior, speech, or magic, Scott’s impression of Medea is that of an extremely cold witch.
Perhaps the first impression was too profound, and no matter what Medea did after that, he was strongly wary of her.
Scott has never forgotten Helena’s words. Medea once had an obsession with her father Slytherin’s identity, so has this obsession really disappeared now?
At noon that day, Scott made a special trip to meet with Helena.
“Did you see that interview in today’s paper, Helena?” Scott asked her.
Helena nodded.
“I saw it,” she said softly, “Medea wants to completely devour the soul of the mysterious man.”
Scott said: “What about other things, such as her beautiful ideals.”
Helena, who was floating in the air, looked at Scott condescendingly, “What do you think?”
Scott originally wanted to hear her opinion, but at this time he could only say: “Maybe what she said is true, but I always feel that this is not her entire purpose.”
“I have the same view as you, Scott.” Helena smiled, “But I don’t know what she wants to do.”
In the evening, Scott came to the Room of Requirement and showed the newspaper to the Ravenclaw in the portrait.
“I’ve already seen it.” Ravenclaw said with a smile, “It’s not that I can’t leave here. I can come and go freely among the portraits in the entire castle.”
Scott put away the newspaper.
“Don’t think too much.” The smile on Ravenclaw’s face remained unchanged, “You just need to look at these things, and you don’t even need to pay special attention to them.”
Scott nodded and said, “I think Principal Dumbledore will be involved.”
Ravenclaw asked, “Do you think Voldemort will show up?”
Scott said: “Voldemort didn’t know that Harry was also a Horcrux. In his mind, that was his last Horcrux.”
“This is also based on your knowledge.” Ravenclaw said.
“That’s right,” Scott said.
Ravenclaw had no intention of discussing the matter further, and Scott could only leave the Room of Requirement.
“Scott.” When he reached the stairs, he heard a voice from behind.
It had been a long time since Scott had been approached silently from behind, and his reaction was a little intense for a while.
He turned his head sharply and pulled out the wand with his right hand, but there was nothing behind him.
“Harry?” he said softly.
“It’s me,” Harry said.
Apparently, he was wearing a cloak of invisibility.
The invisibility cloak can block Scott’s magical perception unless he is aware of it carefully.
“What are you doing?” Scott asked.
“Oh, I’m just walking around.”
Harry took off his hood, revealing a head floating in the air.
“Walking with an invisibility cloak for a walk?” Scott had a strange expression on his face, “It’s not curfew time yet.”
“Oh, I just wanted to go for a walk alone.” Harry smiled sheepishly.
“Then go ahead.” Scott waved his hand and prepared to leave.
“Wait.” Harry called him.
Scott turned back and looked at his… head questioningly.
Harry said softly: “I want to ask you a question.”
Scott nodded.
Harry looked around to make sure no one was there before speaking in a lighter tone, “Last time in the principal’s office, were everything you and Dumbledore said true?”
One of his hands appeared and touched the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
“Is my connection with him really just because of the prophecy?”
Scott glanced at the scar and asked him, “Did you dream again?”
Harry nodded.
“But I won’t tell you what I dreamed about,” he said, “unless you answer my questions first.”
Scott smiled, “You should ask Dumbledore this question, and you should also tell him the content of the dream.”
Harry was stunned, as if he didn’t expect Scott to say that.
“Can’t you tell me the answer?” He was a little surprised.
Scott understood what he meant.
Because the “Savior” was a real 13-year-old boy, Scott was the same when he was really at this age. He tended to talk to his peers about anything that happened, and was unwilling to deal with teachers and elders.
“What do you think I should know, Harry.” Scott laughed again, “You should find someone who can really solve the problem. After all, this is not an unimportant matter, but a very important matter.”
“Okay.”
Harry obviously didn’t believe him.
“I always think you should know.” He muttered, put on his hood, said goodbye to Scott and left.
Since he didn’t have his schoolbag at this time, Scott couldn’t learn the content of his dream from Harry’s doll.
Of course, Harry knew that what he saw in the dream was true, and he might not tell Ron again.
Without thinking any more, Scott went straight back to Ravenclaw Tower.
In the common room, many people were still discussing the content of the interview in the newspaper that day.
Scott looked around and found Eddie and Milton sitting at a long table writing papers, so he walked over.
“Oh, didn’t you hear them?”
Eddie didn’t stop talking while writing his paper.
“Some people think it will only be a farce, a way for the revived witch to get rid of everyone’s bad impression of her. They conclude that the mysterious man will not appear at all.”
“Yeah.”
Milton was concentrating on writing his paper, and just responded to Eddie perfunctorily.
Eddie obviously has the ability to chat enthusiastically by himself.
“Of course, not everyone thinks so.”
He said again.
“Some people suspect that the witch and the devil have joined forces. After all, the devil is the descendant of the witch. They think this is a trap to lure Dumbledore and other righteous people to go there.”
“Oh.” Milton perfunctorily said again.
“I think this might be a trap set by the witch and the headmaster for the devil.” Eddie said his strange ideas.
Scott sat down next to the two of them and asked with a smile, “Do you think the principal and the witch will cooperate?”
“Oh, Scott.” Eddie looked up at him, “Of course it’s possible. First cooperate with the witch to defeat the devil, and then defeat the witch. Perfect.”
Scott could tell that he was deliberately talking nonsense, so he suggested, “Why don’t you go and present your perfect plan to the principal as soon as possible?”
After teasing Eddie, he got up and went back to the dormitory.
“Scott!”
Pushing open the door, Rimbaud stood on the small table beside his bed.
