After breakfast, Scott checked the contents of the Daily Prophet. Seeing that there was no report about himself, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He understood that someone had deliberately suppressed the news for him.
Scott did not know who did this, maybe Professor Flitwick, or someone else, anyway, this saved him a lot of trouble.
Afterwards, he followed Fred and George to their room, and the two showed him the results of their research this summer.
“We have improved the magic camera.”
“Of course, there are some other good things.”
Scott watched their results with interest.
The [Magic Camera] has not changed much, but it is much more convenient to operate.
The others are some prank gadgets.
These things may sell well, but they don’t have much practical use.
Scott also shared his latest work with them – the [Magic Phone], and made two on the spot and gave them to them.
Fred and George were obviously very interested in the [Magic Phone]. After trying to send messages and talk with Scott, they also realized the huge business opportunities contained in it.
“If everyone can talk to each other, just like the [Book of Prometheus], this thing will definitely sell well!” George said excitedly.
Scott said: “The relevant knowledge is exchanged in the [Knowledge Bank], and the underlying magic circuit comes from the retained data of the [Knowledge Bank].”
Fred asked, “How can we make everyone talk to each other?”
“That’s difficult.”
Scott thought about it.
“Now the connection between us is based on my [Magic Mirror] as the mother body. You all know that the materials I used when I made the [Magic Mirror] were not precious. It obviously can’t carry too much information.”
Fred and George soon understood.
“If you want all wizards in the UK to be able to talk to each other using the [Magic Phone]…”
“You need to build a magic device like the [Knowledge Bank].”
Scott nodded, “Not to mention the technical difficulty of building a magic device, the first problem we have to face is the cost of precious materials, which requires a lot of money.”
The problem of money cannot be underestimated.
But Fred and George were only depressed for a while and then cheered up again.
“But this is a great invention that can change the entire wizarding world.”
“We must do it!”
Scott couldn’t help laughing.
“I think we can change the wizarding world and change the lifestyles of all wizards…”
With the [magic camera] invented by the twins, the [magic crystal player] and [magic mobile phone] he invented, plus the knowledge left by Nicolas Flamel after making the [knowledge bank], they can change a lot of things.
Maybe they can let television, movies, mobile phones, and even the Internet, these inventions of Muggles, enter the wizarding world in another form.
Scott was so excited that he couldn’t help but talk a lot.
Of course, most of them were just theoretical advice.
But Fred and George listened with great interest.
Although they didn’t know much about many of the terms Scott said, they were happy to accept new things.
And Scott couldn’t help thinking while he was talking, maybe he could really make these a career.
He remembered Eddie’s ideal of opening a magic media company.
He, the twins, Eddie…
Maybe there are more like-minded guys.
If they do it seriously, they may be able to create a new era.
Unfortunately…
The magic world is not peaceful now, and coupled with the prophecy he has to face, Scott is not sure that he can survive the disaster safely.
In short, although the ideal is beautiful, there are still many practical problems that he has to face.
Before everything calms down, they do not have sufficient conditions to do these.
But Scott feels that he can accumulate strength from now on, which can also be called technical reserves.
Although he himself is not prepared to spend too much energy on these, the two guys who are always full of whimsical ideas may bring him more surprises.
However, their thinking still needs to be expanded. It is obviously not intuitive to listen to him. Many things can only be understood after personal experience.
So he suggested, “You should go to London with me and spend a few days experiencing Muggle life, which may give you more inspiration.”
They can stay in Milton’s apartment in London.
Hearing his proposal, Fred and George were very tempted.
But if they want to go out and play, the first problem they need to face is the consent of their parents.
At the lunch table, Scott took the initiative to bring up this topic with Mrs. Weasley.
Of course, his argument is that the twins are very curious about the daily life of Muggles, and he can take them to experience it for a few days.
Hearing his words, only Percy was unmoved, Ron and Ginny looked at the twins with some envy.
“Oh, dear, no.” Mrs. Weasley rejected his proposal, “I know them, Fred and George, these two guys are too naughty, they will make everything a mess and finally be caught by the Ministry of Magic.”
She glared at the twins.
“Your father said that the Ministry of Magic is very busy recently, and it’s not peaceful outside, so you should not cause trouble for everyone!”
“Oh no!” Fred covered his head in pain.
“Mom, believe us! We can promise that we won’t cause any trouble!” George emphasized loudly.
“You are not allowed to go anywhere!” Mrs. Weasley refused even louder.
She also said to Scott: “You too, dear, you have just been attacked by a dark wizard, and I don’t know if you will encounter other dangers. For your safety, you should stay in our house. Unless Professor Flitwick comes to pick you up, Arthur and I will not let you leave alone.”
Without waiting for Scott to say anything, she said forcefully: “It’s decided!”
Scott didn’t expect that he would be restricted, but he didn’t want to disappoint Mrs. Weasley’s kindness, so he could only agree vaguely.
So he got the twins’ eyes looking at him as a traitor.
“Oh, Scott, what’s wrong with you, you compromised too quickly!”
After lunch, Fred couldn’t help complaining to Scott.
“I thought we could really go to London to play.” George muttered, “I really want to watch the TV and movies you mentioned.”
Scott could only admit that he had not considered it carefully. “Mrs. Weasley’s worries are not unreasonable. I am also a little worried about being attacked again.”
Unlike the fact that no one knew about his killing of the Carrow brothers and sisters, although this time the incident was not reported in the newspaper, many people still knew that he killed two Death Eaters who had just escaped from prison. It was inevitable that it would be heard by other Death Eaters. Who knows if there will be subsequent revenge.
In short, it is better to be careful.
Scott no longer wanted to implicate his friends because of his own affairs again.
Fred and George were struggling with the fact that they could not go out to play, but Ron and Ginny surrounded them. They had just heard from Mrs. Weasley that Scott was attacked by a dark wizard, and they were curious and wanted to ask clearly.
Even Percy did not rush back to the room. He pretended to be indifferent and sat aside, listening with his ears stretched.
Scott did not tell Ron and Ginny the details, but only said that Strillner destroyed their house and brought two dark wizards to take revenge on him.
Ron and Ginny both remembered what happened in the dueling club, and they were impressed by Strillner.
“Do you think Malfoy will bring dark wizards to retaliate against me? Oh, and Harry!” Ron said seriously, “I will write a letter to Harry to tell him to be careful!”
Ginny couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
“Don’t worry, Ron, Malfoy doesn’t take you seriously, Harry lives with Professor Black.”
“What do you know!” Ron shook his hand impatiently, “Because I often go against Malfoy, that kid must hate me to death!”
Next, Ron listed a lot of evidence to try to prove that he was the old enemy of little Malfoy, and his status and importance were equal to Harry.
But Ginny was dismissive of this, and Ron was so angry that he quarreled with her.
Fred and George were the kind of people who watched the fun and joined the “battlefield” decisively.
“Oh, Ron, my silly brother.”
“I guess in the eyes of little Malfoy, you are just Harry’s follower.”
“Just like Goyle and Crabbe in your eyes.”
“Equally silly.”
Ron was so angry that his face turned red, “Harry and I are friends! You two are Scott’s followers!”
Scott didn’t expect that the war would affect him like this.
Fred and George didn’t care about Ron’s counterattack, and laughed.
“Yes, we are Mr. Trollope’s followers.”
“Because the great Mr. Trollope can make money with us.”
The two deliberately put on a proud look, and pretended to massage Scott’s shoulders and back, just like two lackeys.
Ginny giggled at this scene, but Ron seemed insulted. He yelled, “Harry and I are not like this!”
“Ron, don’t make a fuss, don’t bully your sister!” Percy scolded him and turned upstairs.
Ron’s expression was as if he was punched in the face.
“What does it have to do with him?” He groaned in pain, staring at Percy’s back indignantly.
However, the twins and Ginny laughed at him with gloating.
Scott fully realized Ron’s family status at the bottom.
Too miserable.
He couldn’t help but pat the boy’s shoulder with sympathy, but only got Ron’s puzzled eyes.
After that, Scott either wandered around the village with the Weasley brothers and sisters, or studied with the twins, made some small inventions, or helped Mrs. Weasley do something.
Three days later, he couldn’t help but write a letter to Professor Flitwick.
Because it was really a bit boring, he couldn’t study quietly according to his plan, and he couldn’t summon the Ravenclaw tutor to attend the class.
During this period, he didn’t see Luna.
According to Ginny, Luna’s father took her away from home and didn’t know where to observe magical animals.
After making an appointment with the twins to see each other at the Quidditch World Cup final, Scott followed Professor Flitwick through the fireplace to the headmaster’s office at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore has returned.
“Good morning, Professor Dumbledore.”
Scott took the initiative to greet Dumbledore who was sitting behind his desk.
“Good morning, Scott.” Dumbledore observed him, “Are you okay?”
Scott understood what he meant.
He wanted to know if he was still in a normal state after taking someone’s life with his own hands.
“I’m fine, Professor.” Scott acted calmly.
He was very calm after taking human life for the first time, so he wouldn’t show any psychological trauma.
Dumbledore looked at him a few more times.
“I’m very happy, it seems you have come out.”
“The Weasley family has a great atmosphere,” Scott said.
“Oh, that’s a loving family, isn’t it?” Dumbledore said cheerfully, “How enviable.”
Um……
He is indeed very loving, but Scott is not an orphan, so he will not be as envious as Harry.
“So I also want to go back to my home as soon as possible.” Scott said.
“Very good.” Dumbledore nodded repeatedly, “The warmth of family can heal everything, and only true love can save a wounded soul.”
Scott wanted to emphasize that his soul was not injured. After all, he did not use the Death Curse to kill anyone.
What Dumbledore said next surprised him.
“By the way, I want to tell you that I went to Hastings.” The old principal said, “I can see that you have gone through a difficult battle.”
Scott said nothing.
It is indeed difficult.
Although the process was not too thrilling in retrospect, if it weren’t for Rimbaud and his flock of crows to use their flesh and blood to resist the black magic for him, and if he didn’t kill him ruthlessly, he really wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.
That battle was also a test of Scott’s own strength, giving him a clearer understanding of his level.
Of course, out of caution, he did not use methods such as poisoning or shrinking the crow and disemboweling it.
Dumbledore said kindly: “Don’t worry, we don’t mean to blame you. At any time, there is nothing wrong with attacking just for self-protection.”
“I understand.” Scott said truthfully, “Although I have some regrets about killing those three people, I am not sorry.”
After hearing what he said, Professor Flitwick, who was standing next to him, patted his arm comfortingly.
Scott quickly smiled at him.
Dumbledore added: “Of course, yes, no one would accuse you of that, except the other Death Eaters.”
He told Scott to relax, sat him and Professor Flitwick down, served them tea and snacks, and started chatting mode.
“I think you should have heard a lot of news. Voldemort has truly been resurrected. After the first prison robbery failed, he carried out a second one. Unfortunately, he succeeded.”
“I know a lot.”
Scott had no intention of telling anyone about his surveillance of Azkaban, otherwise it would expose the fact that he had personally been to Azkaban, but he didn’t hide it all either.
“You should know that I can command the crows to do things for me, including gathering information.”
Dumbledore asked with great interest, “Oh? Because of that magical raven that can grow in size? Can you tell me in detail?”
Scott told the truth about Rimbaud’s origins and its role.
It has to be said that he spent a one-time magic stone to create Rimbaud, which was a bit extravagant.
But both professors understood his thinking.
The urge to take the magic you love one step further in this way is irresistible.
Scott continued: “Rambo has become the King of Crows. The crows can not only assist me in my battle, they are all smart, so their more important role is to find information everywhere.”
Professor Flitwick’s eyes lit up, “Because of Rimbaud’s existence, it saves you the trouble of finding a way to communicate with other crows.”
Scott nodded.
“I suspect…” he said solemnly, “Voldemort is hiding in Malfoy Manor.”
“I know,” said Dumbledore.
Scott didn’t ask him why he didn’t attack Malfoy Manor. Instead, he talked about Medea’s side, the most important thing was William.
He recounted in detail his meeting and conversation with William.
Professor Flitwick became anxious when he heard the news.
“Oh, William, that silly boy.” He was a little uneasy, “Albus, we cannot let such a young man fall into danger.”
Dumbledore let out a long sigh, “But we can’t do much, Filius, don’t forget, we have never been able to remove the Dark Mark from those people’s hands.”
Professor Flitwick’s shoulders suddenly slumped.
Dumbledore was actually interested in the communication tool that Scott gave to William.
Scott took out two [magic phones] he made at the Weasley family, explained them, and gave them to the two professors.
“I am very happy to see these fantastic ideas of young people.” Dumbledore poked the mirror of [Magic Phone] with his hand, “This will make me feel like I have seen a better future.”
Scott immediately explained to him his vision for the future and his existing knowledge base.
Both professors were attracted to his idea.
Using magic to realize TV, movies, and instant messaging can really change the lives of wizards significantly.
Dumbledore said with a smile: “I can’t wait to see that future.”
“I can’t wait to realize this future picture with my friends.” Scott said, “It’s a pity…”
He shook his head.
“Everything will be fine.” Professor Flitwick quickly comforted him, “You will definitely have a bright future.”
“I will work hard.”
Scott skipped the topic and returned to Medea and William.
“According to William, Medea has fallen into a deep sleep due to Voldemort’s curse, which may have completely disrupted her plan.”
Dumbledore understood, “Our forces at the Ministry of Magic will take this opportunity to speed up their actions.”
He obviously no longer regards Scott as an ignorant child.
Scott also said directly: “The Ministry of Magic needs a strong leader, but strength alone is not enough. He also needs to be able to unite most of the forces.”
At this time, perhaps only Dumbledore is qualified for this candidate.
But Dumbledore obviously still had no intention of doing this.
“I would nominate Ms. Burns,” he said.
Scott did not think that the somewhat rigid Ms. Burns could do her job as Minister of Magic during this chaotic period.
This can be seen from her previous arrangements for Azkaban.
But Ms. Burns also has her perks.
The good thing is that she will obviously do her best to cooperate with Dumbledore and will not be obsessed with fighting for power like Fudge or others.
So Scott just said: “If Ms. Burns becomes the minister, she may need to arrange more wizards to protect her safety.”
Otherwise, the lady may not be able to withstand even one attack from Voldemort and Death Eaters, and others may not even have time to rescue her.
Dumbledore just smiled and said, “It seems you do know a lot.”
They chatted until noon and had lunch together before Scott was sent to London Heathrow Airport by Professor Flitwick.
After Scott bought the ticket, they talked for a while in the corner of the airport lobby.
Professor Flitwick said earnestly: “Scott, I hope you can focus more on magic itself instead of other things…”
He wasn’t happy to see Scott get involved in too many other things.
Obviously, as he said before, he would rather Scott take a pure path and not be distracted by other things.
Scott was really helpless about this.
He didn’t take the initiative to get involved in many things. He could only say that he couldn’t help it.
“Of course, I know that the prophecy makes you very uneasy.” Professor Flitwick continued, “But because of this, you should focus on magic. Nothing can compare to improving your own strength. more important.”
“I know, Professor, I will pay attention.” Scott nodded in response.
Professor Flitwick sighed.
“If everything was peaceful now and those things wouldn’t happen to you, then I would support you in having more interests and hobbies. But obviously, you don’t have too much time.”
Scott nodded again in agreement.
Until he got on the plane, he was thinking about Professor Flitwick’s words and reflecting on himself.
Although some things are indeed out of our control, it’s really not the time to think about things like using magic to transform TV or movies.
Scott decided to hide those wonderful thoughts in the depths of his memory for the time being.
In the afternoon, when Scott returned home alone in Madrid, he was greeted by Emilia’s scolding.
She was obviously just going abroad to attend a concert, but something unexpected happened and she went to England for a long time before returning home. This made her very angry.
Scott pretended to be playful and coaxed for a long time, and the expression on Amelia’s face looked better.
He couldn’t help but be glad that Amelia didn’t know about the battle that took place in Hastings, otherwise she would be even more angry.
After coaxing Amelia, Scott went out to Michael’s antique store and told him what happened in Hastings.
“I told you not to go.” Michael hit his head hard, “but you insisted on risking your life.”
Scott rubbed his head and said, “It turns out it wasn’t too dangerous.”
Michael said disapprovingly: “You can’t guarantee that you will have good luck every time.”
Scott said aggrievedly: “But you didn’t stop me on the phone, and you said you believed in my judgment!”
“I do trust your judgment.”
Michael glanced at him.
“A guy who can only destroy uninhabited houses to vent his anger is not very clever. I believe you can handle it.”
“Then why…”
“Of course I hope you will be more cautious in the future.”
“I know, Dad.”
Just for a father to teach his son a lesson, no reason is needed, right?
