After dinner, Ramiro drove up.
He walked into the house in a nonchalant manner, greeted Emilia and Michael, and couldn’t help laughing when he saw Scott.
“Not bad, it’s rare to dress like this.” He patted Scott’s shoulder and fiddled with the silver necklace on his neck, “It seems that you are also looking forward to tonight’s activities.”
He blinked, “Believe me, I won’t let you down.”
Scott glanced at Emilia, who was smiling very satisfied, and he didn’t want to explain anything.
“This time I’m taking you to the bar.”
After getting in the car, Ramiro said.
“Thank me well, my little cousin, usually I drive to pick up girls at this time.”
“It seems that what happened last summer vacation didn’t teach you any lesson.” Scott complained, “And don’t forget, I’m still a minor.”
Ramiro seemed to remember the experience last summer vacation, and his face changed.
“Girls are all beautiful.” He shrugged.
“And.” He glanced at Scott, “Remember, no matter how others ask you, you have to say you are 18 years old.”
“Got it.” Scott responded.
He still couldn’t get excited about going to the bar to play.
Although Ramiro kept patting his chest and saying that he would take him to play well, after arriving at the destination, the cousin took Scott to the bar and ordered two glasses of wine, and then quickly disappeared with the glasses.
Fortunately, Scott didn’t need him to play.
He was concentrating on tasting the first glass of strong wine in his life.
Although the whole bar was very lively, Scott sat alone in the corner of the bar, and had his own tranquility.
But not long after, he sensed magic in this bar full of Muggles.
Scott turned his head and looked into a pair of brown eyes.
It was a boy who looked about the same age as him.
After their eyes met, the other party took the initiative to smile at him, and Scott nodded and retracted his eyes.
But the other party seemed to have discovered something, and walked straight to Scott and sat down.
“Hello.” The boy took the initiative to greet Scott, “I’m Lucio, seventh grade at Beauxbatons School of Magic.”
“Hello.” Scott said, “Scott, sixth grade at Hogwarts School of Magic.”
“Oh, Hogwarts!”
Lucio’s eyes lit up, and he seemed very curious about Hogwarts.
“Are you British?”
Scott nodded.
The two chatted about their respective schools, because Scott was also curious about Beauxbatons.
“…Of course, we have alchemy courses, which are Beauxbatons’ specialty courses. After all, Beauxbatons is a magic school funded by the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel…”
Lucio’s chatterbox level is not as good as Eddie, but it is not much worse.
Scott simply used the conversation to guide him, and he began to talk endlessly.
“Hogwarts is always mysterious. Oh, of course, your headmaster Dumbledore is very famous, isn’t he? Will he teach you? What is the most famous course in your Hogwarts?”
“No, Professor Dumbledore will not teach us.” Scott replied.
As for the most famous course…
Scott wanted to answer that it was Defense Against the Dark Arts.
At Hogwarts, this course has a professor who changes every year because of Voldemort’s curse, and its legendary level has far surpassed any other course.
But it seems a bit embarrassing to talk about it with people from other schools.
“The most famous course, we don’t have this feature.” Scott could only answer like this, “Of course, the professors of every course are very good.”
Lucio showed a disappointed expression when he heard this, and then apologized carefully, “Sorry, after all, Dumbledore is so famous, I thought Hogwarts would have some special and enviable courses.”
His words made Scott a little subtly unhappy.
“Hogwarts is a comprehensive magic school, where young wizards with different talents can get the best teaching.”
“Hahaha…”
Lucio suddenly laughed loudly.
“Sorry, sorry, I don’t mean to belittle Hogwarts.”
He waved his hands repeatedly and laughed for a long time before stopping.
“Actually, I know you, Scott Trollope.”
Lucio’s expression became more serious, and the freckles on his face stopped jumping.
Scott raised his eyebrows.
“I have a relative who studies at Hogwarts, he is my cousin. Of course, you may not know him, he is a third-year student at Hufflepuff College.” Lucio blinked, “I have heard him talk about you, and even seen your photo.”
“It’s my honor.” Scott did not show his surprise.
At the same time, he also understood why Lucio recognized his wizard identity and took the initiative to talk to him.
“But this is not the reason why I took the initiative to greet you.” Lucio took out a golden card from his pocket, “The reason I came to you is because of this.”
“Scholars’ Union?” Scott was really surprised this time.
Lucio nodded, “I found out that you are also a member of the Scholars’ Union.”
Scott looked at him for a few times, “How did you find out?”
“Don’t you know?” Lucio was more surprised than him.
“…I’m sorry, I didn’t study [The Book of Prometheus] in depth after joining the Scholars Alliance.” Scott said calmly.
“Are you telling the truth?” Lucio’s eyes widened, looking at Scott as if he were looking at a strange flower.
Scott nodded calmly again.
“This is the Scholars Alliance!” Lucio emphasized, “You can get anything you want in [Knowledge Bank]!”
“What I want can be satisfied without [Knowledge Bank].” Scott swung his glass, “I’m just a student, what I want is knowledge, and at this stage, the knowledge Hogwarts’ collection of books and The professors can satisfy me.”
“Maybe.” Lucio shrugged noncommittally.
He obviously didn’t agree with what Scott said.
Scott didn’t object.
Because it is impossible for Lucio to know how powerful his teachers are.
A Ravenclaw mentor who is his own is already stronger than everyone in the League of Scholars.
“Okay, okay, I can tell you something.”
Lucio started to liven up the atmosphere again.
“[The Book of Prometheus] has some interesting little functions, such as allowing you to detect other people nearby who also carry the [Book of Prometheus]. You can spend some credits to upgrade your permissions in the [Knowledge Bank] ”
“Thank you.” Scott raised the wine glass in his hand.
He silently noted this incident and decided not to carry the [Book of Prometheus] with him in the future.
“You’re welcome.” Lucio also raised his glass and clinked it with him.
“Oh, Scott, my dear little cousin.”
Ramiro’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Why are you here chatting with a boy? Didn’t you see that group of passionate and beautiful girls over there?”
He came over and leaned on the bar, looking at Scott and Lucio with curious eyes.
“This is Lucio, a wizard.” Scott glanced at him, “This is my cousin Ramiro.”
“Oh… Hello, Lucio.” Ramiro came back to his senses, “What a coincidence, Scott, you can meet the same person here… Anyway, have fun, I’ll wait. Come find you again.”
Ramiro patted Scott on the shoulder, turned around and slipped away again.
“If I’m not mistaken,” Lucio said, “your cousin is a Muggle.”
He seemed to want to give Ramiro a forgetting spell.
“Yes, but relatives of wizards can know some things about the magical world, which does not violate the law of confidentiality.” Scott answered.
“…That’s true.”
Lucio reluctantly agreed with his point of view.
But then he started gushing to Scott Amway [Knowledge Bank] again.
“…In short, I recommend you to make good use of your [Book of Prometheus], it can be of great help to you.”
Scott listened to some of it, but at the same time he also thought that [The Book of Prometheus] was a troublesome thing.
After all, he didn’t want to have much to do with the Magic Association of Scholars.
After Lucio had finished speaking, Scott decisively changed the subject and discussed alchemy with him.
Now that Lucio has joined the League of Scholars, this shows that he is also a genius.
Sure enough, when talking about alchemy, Lucio’s eyes lit up and he became a chatterbox again.
But Scott didn’t care. Instead, he found this kind of exchange based on specific knowledge more interesting.
And Lucio is indeed very talented in alchemy and can tell a lot of things that benefit Scott a lot.
Although Scott did not major in alchemy, he also learned a lot of alchemy-related knowledge from Ravenclaw.
Lucio was obviously pleasantly surprised too.
In short, the conversation between the two was much more lively than before.
“That’s great, Scott, I’m pleasantly surprised by some of your points. I should have known you earlier.”
Before following his companions out of the bar, Lucio shook the golden card in his hand.
“I’ll contact you again.”
After Lucio left, Ramiro came to Scott again.
“Oh, Scott, you’ve wasted a wonderful evening talking about magic with another wizard.”
He looked at Scott with unreadable eyes.
“It’s as boring and weird as me talking about calculus with a male classmate in a bar all night.”
Hearing his metaphor, Scott was immediately choked and couldn’t say what he wanted to say.
“By the way, can you take a taxi home?” Ramiro blinked and waved to the other side of the bar, “You know, your cousin still has some adult activities.”
“Okay.” Scott had no objection.
He decisively said goodbye to Ramiro, walked out of the bar and took a taxi back home.
To his surprise, his parents were still asleep, and Amelia, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, was looking at him with a gossipy face.
“Oh, dear, why are you back?” Amelia stood up, “Didn’t you have fun?”
Only then did Scott realize that she had actually prepared for him to stay up all night.
This made him dumbfounded.
“It’s not suitable for me there.” He didn’t want to say more, “I went to take a shower.”
He could have told Emilia that he met a wizard in a bar and chatted about magic with him all night.
But because Ramiro’s metaphor made Scott speechless when he thought about it, he didn’t mention it.
Perhaps Emilia would have the same idea as Ramiro.
Scott found that the aunt and nephew were quite similar in many cases.
In short, Scott resumed his life at home in the next few days.
He decided not to embarrass himself anymore, so he stopped listening to Emilia’s advice and did not accept Ramiro’s invitation.
But his life was still very fulfilling, because he could still communicate with the portrait of Ravenclaw, and he devoted most of his time to study.
Of course, he did not receive any contact from Lucio on the [Book of Prometheus].
It is easy to imagine that this is because Mr. Bode blocked Scott’s permissions. Except for him as the referee, perhaps others could not even search for Scott’s name in the [Book of Prometheus].
But things changed at the end of June.
On this day, Scott’s [Book of Prometheus] received a “letter” from Bill Weasley.
Scott was surprised that Bill was also a member of the Scholars’ Union at first, but he knew what was going on after reading the letter.
Mr. Bode fell into the hands of Bill’s father, Mr. Weasley, and is now in prison.
Dumbledore told Scott to ask his friend in the Ministry of Magic to keep an eye on Bode, and that person was Mr. Weasley.
And Bill became Scott’s introducer in the Scholars’ Union.
But Bill did not say what happened in the letter.
He just told Scott that when Scott and Dumbledore met, Dumbledore would tell him.
In short, Scott’s [Book of Prometheus] finally opened up basic permissions.
The “letter” belonging to Lucio also came along.
Scott glanced at Lucio’s letter and found that the other party still wanted to exchange knowledge of alchemy, so he did not reply for the time being.
He was still thinking about Mr. Bode.
Unexpectedly, the other party was caught like this, and Scott was very curious about what happened.
He even wanted to go to Hogwarts immediately to talk to Dumbledore.
But he still held back.
Since it was Dumbledore who secretly acted, it was not too unexpected that the so-called Mr. Bode would be caught.
Scott didn’t know what Dumbledore was doing now, and he didn’t even care about the intelligence from the British side, so he would not act on his own.
He had not forgotten Luna’s interpretation of the prophecy about the Thestrals before the summer vacation. If the Ministry of Magic really wanted to change a minister, it might mean something was about to happen.
After thinking for a long time, Scott decided to stay away from trouble and not get involved in anything. According to the original plan, he would return to England at the Quidditch World Cup final.
After that, Scott picked up his pen and began to communicate with Lucio.
Then Lucio asked him a question.
[Do you want to visit the wizard street in Spain? ]
