Because of his bold words in the dormitory, claiming that he wanted to find out the reason for completely changing Caccini, Eddie was completely at odds with this secret in the next period of time.
Although it was not known exactly what actions he took, Scott would always see him hanging out with Hufflepuff students over the next few days.
But Eddie’s efforts did not make any effective progress, which can be seen from the fact that he never mentioned the matter.
What people didn’t expect was that compared to Eddie’s useless efforts, Milton, who often participated in classical music clubs with Caccini, had clues first.
It’s still time for a night talk in the dormitory before going to bed.
Milton was sitting on the bed, holding up his wand and blowing the long hair with a drying spell.
He suddenly said to Scott and the others: “There is something… maybe I should tell you. Just after dinner today, when I was practicing at the club, Caccini quietly asked me… if I would like to exchange mine. Musical talent.”
Scott and the others were surprised when they heard the news.
Milton’s musical talent was exchanged by Medea for Caccini, which they all knew.
but……
“How is this possible?” Eddie, who was the quickest in speaking, was the first to speak. “Has Caccini also joined the green-robed organization under the resurrected witch?”
At this time, Scott, who was lying on the bed, also frowned.
He felt that Caccini’s question was very unbelievable, so he said: “Even if Medea agreed to Caccini’s request and exchanged talents for her and Milton, how could there be a place like Hogwarts with a huge source of magic power? Where to sign a magical oath with her?”
Scott learned from the Ravenclaw mentor that the magical oath that Medea once dominated and could trade talents had very strict conditions for signing and operating, and it should not be copied.
It was impossible for anyone to sign such a contract with her at Hogwarts, and besides Hogwarts, Medea could not find any other suitable place in the UK.
Roger’s speech was from another angle. He said in a very surprised tone: “In other words, does she also regret the deal with Ms. Slytherin?”
It can be seen that Caccini’s initial lack of emphasis on magic talent left a deep impression on him.
“I don’t know.” Milton stopped drying his hair and put his wand on the small table beside the bed. “She suddenly asked that question and then left without waiting for my answer.”
He ran his fingers through his hair, a hesitant expression on his face.
The dormitory was quiet for a few seconds. Scott sat up and asked Milton, “What do you think, Milton?”
“Me?” Milton said in confusion, “I have accepted the status quo.”
“But Caccini’s question made you shaken again, didn’t it?” Scott asked keenly.
“I…” Milton pursed his lips, “You all said that what she said is impossible to achieve, right?”
Eddie said: “Go and ask her directly tomorrow and ask her why she said that.”
Milton nodded slightly.
“Sorry, I’ll ask,” he said.
Eddie lifted the bed curtains and stuck his head out to look at Milton, “Why are you apologizing?”
Milton smiled sheepishly, “I always feel that I have caused you a lot of trouble, especially in this matter. I was the one who voluntarily traded with Ms. Slytherin…”
“Don’t think so much.” Scott said with a smile, “Actually, we can’t help you with anything.”
“Anyway, that’s enough.” Milton also laughed.
When Scott lay down again, he heard Roger say: “Scott, Eddie, you two accompany Milton to ask Caccini, I won’t go.”
“That’s fine.” Eddie said with a smile, “Lest Sister Caccini see you and want to teach you a lesson.”
“Hey!” Roger howled in displeasure.
At noon the next day, Scott and Eddie accompanied Milton and waited at the entrance of the auditorium until Caccini walked over with several girls.
Scott observed calmly, and Caccini’s image changed again.
Among several girls wearing short skirts and stockings, she was the only one wearing men’s trousers and leather boots.
Her hairstyle has become a short bob close to her scalp, her ears are covered with silver earrings, and she has no makeup on her face.
“Good afternoon, Caccini.” Milton took the initiative to say hello.
“Milton?” Caccini grinned, showing two pointed tiger teeth, “What’s the matter?”
The smile on her face was naughty and her movements were carefree, completely subverting her previous image of a dignified lady.
Scott was secretly shocked and couldn’t help but feel Caccini’s magic power to confirm that she was still herself.
The last time I talked to Caccini up close, her image, although exaggerated, was just from a lady to a hottie, but now… this girl seems to have blurred her gender.
Although he had seen this girl’s subversive image from a distance before, this was the first time for him to come into close contact with her, and it was inevitable that the impact would be too great.
Scott even heard Eddie secretly gasp.
Compared to Scott and Eddie’s shock, Milton was already used to Caccini’s new image.
He said softly: “What you told me last night.”
“Really?” Caccini smiled playfully, “What do you think?”
“I want to talk to you,” Milton said.
Caccini nodded, “Talk? Of course.”
She turned around and said a few words to her companions, and the girls walked into the auditorium first with laughter.
Kachini looked up at Scott and Eddie again.
“Why?” She put one hand on Milton’s shoulder, “Are they your bodyguards or nannies, Milton?”
“No… no…” Milton couldn’t resist, blushed, and took two steps back.
At this time, Scott spoke, “Hello, Kachini. Eddie and I are just curious about what you said. Why, is it inconvenient for us to hear it?”
Hearing this, Kachini’s teasing smile on his face subsided a little.
“Scott, Scott, you are really good at joking.” She said in a sighing tone, “Who can refuse you in Hogwarts, the genius of Ravenclaw.”
As she said that, she spun one foot and turned around quickly, and her robe swung out a flowing arc in the air.
“Come with me.” She walked forward quickly, “I know. Anyway, telling Milton is the same as telling everyone in your dormitory.”
“Let’s go.”
Scott patted Milton, who was still a little dazed, and the three followed behind Kachini.
The few people quickly left the vicinity of the auditorium and walked into an empty classroom nearby.
“Come in quickly.” Kachini sat on the desk with his legs crossed and waved to the three people, “Remember to close the door.”
Scott closed the door of the classroom, and the three boys walked in front of Kachini.
Milton was about to speak, but Kachini raised his hand to stop him.
She pointed a finger with a black ring on it at Eddie, “Are you sure he should also listen to the secret I’m going to tell you next? I think he will spread it to everyone in Hogwarts as quickly as possible.”
“This is slander!” Eddie said loudly, “It’s slander!”
He almost got angry.
“Don’t worry.” Scott smiled and glanced at Eddie, “This kid knows what to say and what not to say.”
“Since you said so.” Caccini retracted his finger and touched his slightly raised chin, “Then let’s do it.”
Scott nodded.
He winked at Milton, walked to the side and sat in a seat.
Eddie followed and sat next to him.
Milton was left standing alone in front of Caccini.
He asked, “Caccini, what did you mean by what you asked me yesterday?”
“What do you mean?” Caccini smiled, “It means literally.”
Milton said, “But…”
“No buts.” Caccini, who was sitting on the desk, looked down at Milton, “You just need to tell me, Milton Graves, are you willing to exchange it back.”
“I…” Milton seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, and finally nodded, “Of course, I am willing to exchange my musical talent back.”
“Very good.” Caccini moved closer to Milton, whispered something in his ear, and patted his shoulder again.
Then, she jumped off the desk and left the classroom, leaving the three boys with a chic back.
“What’s going on? What did she say just now?” Eddie said loudly in dissatisfaction, “Didn’t she just say that she wanted to tell us a secret that cannot be told to others? Why did she leave like that?”
“She said…” Milton turned around, “She asked me to go to the classical music club at 12 o’clock tonight.”
Eddie complained, “She must be making a mystery. What can’t she say now?”
Scott looked at Milton with an inquiring look, “Are you going, tonight?”
Milton nodded, “Since I have decided to figure this out, I will go.”
“I’ll go with you.” Scott said.
This matter revealed something strange everywhere, and he really didn’t feel at ease to let Milton go to the appointment alone.
“And me!” Eddie said quickly.
Milton wanted to say something, but chose to acquiesce in Scott’s unquestionable gaze.
“Thank you.” He said gratefully.
In the afternoon Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Scott had been secretly observing Caccini.
This girl has changed so much.
It was obvious that other girls of the same grade in Hufflepuff College liked to surround her, and they were vaguely centered around her. They also competed to form a team with her in the duel class.
And Caccini was like a real playboy, always handling these “jealousy” scenes with ease.
The boys in the same class couldn’t help but look at her with envy.
In comparison, Roger, who had been single for a long time, was simply not worthy of the title of “playboy”.
“Do you think Caccini is still herself?” he asked Milton softly.
Milton looked at him in surprise, as if he didn’t understand why he asked this question.
Scott thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed no legend of “possession” in the magic world.
But he still said it, “I mean, is it possible that her body was occupied by another soul.”
“Is there such magic in the magic world? The black magic that occupies the body of another person?” Milton looked at a loss, “And, I’m sure she is still herself, I can hear it from the music she plays.”
“That’s good.” Scott nodded gently.
Yes, if wizards could really possess bodies, Voldemort two years ago would not just be parasitic on the back of Professor Quirrell’s head.
At night, Scott, who was defeated many times by Professor Flitwick’s superb dueling skills, dragged his tired body back to the dormitory.
“Scott, you look more tired than I am after playing a Quidditch game.” Roger looked at Scott who was lying on the bed, “Are you sure you can accompany Milton to the appointment later?”
Eddie also said, “Let me and Roger accompany him.”
“You should have a good rest.” Milton also looked at him worriedly, “I will only be inside Hogwarts when I go to the appointment, and I won’t encounter any danger.”
“At most, I will be caught by Filch and Mrs. Norris, or the professor on night patrol, and then I will be deducted points and put in detention.” Eddie said with a smile.
Scott shook his head, moved his upper body, let himself lean on the stacked pillows, took out a bottle of potion from the deformed lizard skin bag at his waist and poured it into his mouth.
“It doesn’t matter.” He put the potion bottle away and looked at the pocket watch again, “There are still two hours until 12 o’clock, enough time for me to recover.”
The four discussed for a while and decided that the whole dormitory would go out this time.
Scott and Eddie were responsible for accompanying Milton to the appointment. Roger didn’t want to meet Caccini, so he was responsible for keeping watch outside the activity room of the classical music club.
They left the dormitory at around 11:30 and soon came to the bottom of the Ravenclaw tower.
“Are you okay?” Milton was still worried about Scott’s condition.
“Of course I’m fine.” Scott shook his sore arm.
His magic power had recovered, and his body was just a little sore, which had little effect on his combat effectiveness.
“Don’t talk, follow me.”
He left the tower first and expanded his magic perception to the maximum range of his ability.
The four of them came to the basement of the main building of the castle without any obstacles.
Scott could feel that his roommates were a little nervous.
Especially when passing by Snape’s office, several people passed by quickly and tiptoe, trying not to make any noise.
Everyone was afraid that the potion professor, who was always elusive, would come out of the darkness and spray venom at them.
After turning several corners in the dark corridor, they finally arrived at the door of the activity room of the classical music club near the abandoned dungeon.
At this time, the wind was passing through the vents above the abandoned dungeon, making a strange whimpering sound.
The iron chains hanging in the abandoned dungeon made a continuous collision sound. The sound was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet night.
“Let’s go.”
Scott walked to the door of the activity room first and pushed the huge wooden door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened with a slight push, and the warm light was cast on the stone slab on the ground through the crack of the door, and was stretched out.
There was a faint piano sound coming from the activity room.
