The establishment of the secret organization “Tower of Babel” made everyone like Scott very excited.
only……
Although the boys shouted on the boat in the Black Lake that night to create a perfect new world, the first thing they need to face is the upcoming end-of-school exams.
This is obviously not cool.
But even the most out-there Weasley twins have to take their exams a little more seriously to avoid being spanked by their mother when they go home for the summer.
Fortunately, they do not have high requirements for themselves.
“We never thought about comparing test scores with Bill, Charlie and Percy.”
“Of course, it can’t be much worse than Ron’s results.”
“That way, Mom will see that we’re not serious at all.”
“She’ll be talking about us all summer long!”
Compared to the Weasley twins, the two Gryffindors who don’t take exams seriously, Scott and his roommates, as Ravenclaws, are better at exams.
Even though Scott and Roger stayed at Beauxbatons for more than half a year and had no time to review at all, they were confident enough to at least get decent results in the end-of-school exam.
Among the six people, the only one who didn’t have to worry about exams was Eddie. He was still in fifth grade and had already taken the O.W.L.s exam a week before Scott and the others came back.
So while Scott and the other sixth graders were busy preparing for exams, Eddie was alone in his business experience.
Just like what he said, Triwizard Tournament peripherals are really selling well!
Almost everyone at Hogwarts has one.
It’s just that whenever Scott sees someone holding a notebook or water glass with his own portrait printed on it, he feels a little embarrassed.
And Eddie wasn’t content with that.
Seeing that it was not difficult for Scott to cope with the exam, and even very easy, Eddie began to urge him to complete the post-editing and production of the commemorative video of “The Complete Records of the Triwizard Tournament 1994-1995” as soon as possible.
He has already done the publicity, and countless people are eagerly waiting for the sale.
Moreover, Milton has already written the relevant BGM and has even completed the recording.
According to Eddie himself, he has successfully expanded his business to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and found an agent for this business in each of the two schools.
Scott couldn’t figure out how he extended his tentacles.
In short, at Eddie’s urging, Scott spent his spare time editing the video.
That night, Scott sat on the sofa in the Ravenclaw common room, editing the video with the [Magic Mirror] in his arms.
“Good evening, Scott.”
Along with the erratic voice, Luna walked over.
“Good evening.”
Scott was busy with the work at hand and did not look up.
Luna didn’t care and walked to sit on the sofa opposite Scott.
After a while, she suddenly said, “I can see that you have made a big decision.”
“oh……”
Scott paused the movements in his hands, raised his head and looked at her, sighing in his heart that Luna’s eyes were getting better and better.
“Yes.” He replied, “Oh, I haven’t had time to tell you yet…”
Later, while working, he told her the story of his adventure.
“Can I hear it?”
As he began to tell, Helena floated over too.
“Although I have heard some things from my mother, I still want to hear what you think.”
“certainly.”
Scott nodded in agreement.
During the rest of his narration, Helena and Luna both listened attentively and did not interrupt in the middle.
Until Scott said that he and several other boys formed the “Tower of Babel” determined to create a new world.
“How interesting! Why didn’t you invite me?”
This was Luna’s first reaction.
Scott wasn’t surprised.
“Because after the establishment of the Tower of Babel, the first thing we have to face is the end-of-school-year exam.”
He said somewhat helplessly.
“In other words, we can’t do anything right now. Everything is just slogans. Even… I don’t know… whether this counts as planting a seed.”
“Of course it is.”
Luna looked directly at Scott.
“Maybe my eyes can’t see that far, but I can see that this is a beautiful dream, so I also want to join the dream-making process.”
Scott raised his head, looked into her shining eyes, and nodded.
“Of course, that’s perfect.”
he said happily.
“You are essential, Luna. You have a special talent that can help guide us in the right direction.”
Even if Luna didn’t bring it up, he would invite her to join.
It’s just that it’s not too late yet.
After all, creating a new world was an extremely distant goal, and Luna was still young, so he originally planned to wait until she graduated before formally inviting her.
Luna laughed, “If I can really help, then I will be very happy.”
“very nice……”
Helena, who had been silent just now, spoke.
Scott and Luna turned to look at her at the same time.
“Congratulations, Scott.”
Helena said to Scott seriously.
“You have found something meaningful, a great goal that you can strive for your whole life.”
“I can foresee that your life will become more exciting because of this.”
As she said this, there was a look of envy on her face.
“A confused life is meaningless.” She whispered, “Just like when I was alive.”
“You can join us now, Ms. Grey!”
Luna reached out and took the initiative to touch Helena’s illusory hand.
“Me?”
Helena looked stunned.
“I’m afraid I can’t do anything…”
She was a little flustered.
“I mean… I’m just a ghost, I can’t change anything…”
“No.”
Scott said to her seriously.
“You have changed a lot of things, Helena.”
“Me?” Helena was a little confused.
Scott nodded.
“Remember, when Medea appeared in Hogwarts, it was you who stood up.”
“It was also you who took me to the Ravenclaw tutor. I have to say, this can change my life.”
“Even if you don’t mention these, your usual care and help for Ravenclaw students is also an indispensable part of college life.”
“Ravenclaws respect you very much. Even if the students graduate, you are a real part of their memories.”
After listening to Scott’s words, Helena was stunned.
After a long while, she slowly revealed a beautiful smile.
“Thank you, Scott.”
She smiled.
“I never thought that I would find it meaningful to become a ghost and exist in the world.”
Scott also laughed.
“Well, Miss Helena Ravenclaw.”
He stood up and performed a formal wizard salute.
“I solemnly invite you to join the secret organization called “Tower of Babel” and work with us to create a new world.”
Helena nodded gently.
“I am honored.” She said.
“Great!”
Luna clapped happily.
In this way, Helena and Luna both officially joined “Tower of Babel”.
Scott’s secret organization members became seven people plus a ghost.
“So Scott, in order to achieve the ideals of the organization, what plans do you have?”
Helena quickly got into the role and began to ask Scott, the currently incompetent leader of the organization, about the organization’s action program.
“The short-term plan is what I am doing.”
Scott gestured to her and Luna to look at the [Magic Mirror] in his hand.
“This…”
The two ladies looked at the video in the [magic mirror] with some confusion.
“To be honest, I never thought that I would have such an idea one day.”
Scott said with some sighs and embarrassment.
“To be frank, the first step of the plan is to make a name for oneself.”
You know, in the past, he always respected the ancient wisdom of “making a fortune in silence” and tried to be low-key in everything he did.
But now, in order to achieve the goal of “Tower of Babel”, he has to change his style of doing things.
Helena and Luna both nodded in understanding.
“You did the right thing.” Helena said, “If you want to realize your grand ideal, you need more helpers. In this way, it is also necessary to make a name for yourself and expand your influence.”
Luna also said: “Yes, you need a strong appeal.”
That’s what Scott thought.
Creating a new world is not just about talking.
Otherwise, even if he really learned the ancient super magic called “Yuktrasil” and really opened up a new world, he might not be able to let all wizards move in.
In that case, everything he did would be meaningless.
If he just wanted to create a “paradise” for his relatives and friends, then he didn’t need to do much, because the space in the [Eye of Odin] was enough.
Based on this, Scott’s future plans have changed a lot.
He has decided.
In the foreseeable future, he must play a more important role in the war between the British wizarding world and Voldemort.
Also, the prophecy about him and Salazar Slytherin, depending on the situation, if it is appropriate, can even be made public directly.
Of course, these are just some of his ideas, and he has not told anyone about it.
He was able to have such ideas because of the powerful strength brought by the promotion of super magic.
Although the Ravenclaw tutor said that he had only stepped into the threshold, he was indeed qualified to stand at the top.
Compared with before, the rest of the road is much easier.
Of course, Scott is very sober, and it is not time to put these ideas into action yet.
Before that, he still has a lot of things to do.
For example, after the adventure, he didn’t have time to have a good talk with Dumbledore.
And, after getting the [Heart of the Sacred Tree], he must go to the Oak Sea to communicate with the leader of the druids and Savanna’s grandfather.
Not to mention, in order to further improve his strength and obtain the attack magic “Gungnir” that is said to be absolutely inescapable, the research materials of the [Asgard] school hidden in the secret realms “Niflheim” and “Jotunheim” also need to be retrieved.
These three things are already on his schedule.
The talk with Dumbledore is expected to be completed before the holiday, and the last two things will be put in the upcoming summer vacation.
In the next few days, while successfully completing the end-of-year exams, Scott used his free time to complete the post-production of the video editing and handed the finished product to Eddie for operation.
Finally, on the afternoon after successfully passing the Apparition Qualification Test, he sat in the headmaster’s office.
This was not Dumbledore’s invitation, but it was obvious that Dumbledore also knew his purpose.
“Oh, Scott, I didn’t plan this conversation.”
Dumbledore said kindly.
“This means that I trust you very much. In my eyes, you are no longer a child, but a mature and powerful wizard.”
As he said, he raised the teacup in his hand to the Ravenclaw in the painting on the wall on one side.
“I think your mentor, Ms. Ravenclaw, thinks so too.”
There was only one Ravenclaw mentor in the frame on the entire wall.
The portraits of other former headmasters had been “invited” away by Scott at her request.
At this time, the Ravenclaw in the painting smiled slightly and nodded gently in response to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore continued to say to Scott: “Of course, I am also very happy that you took the initiative to come and talk to me. This means that you trust me and regard me as a reliable friend and elder.”
“You are right.” Scott smiled and nodded, “I do need your experience and guidance.”
“It is my honor.” Dumbledore said with a smile.
Next, Scott did not hesitate to express his thoughts.
Dumbledore has been listening carefully, and his blue eyes behind the crescent-shaped glasses are full of curiosity.
When Scott finished speaking, he pondered for a while.
After a while, he spoke softly.
“I can’t determine whether such an ideal and such a future are correct. No one can determine it. Even a true prophecy cannot determine the future.”
His tone was very solemn.
“Of course, I can’t say that it’s wrong.”
“Oh, what I really want to say is that no one can really foresee the future, and we can’t be sure that every decision we make is absolutely correct.”
“You and your friends, you are all a group of lovely young people.”
“You are the future of wizards and the future of the magic world. You have the right to create the future you want.”
“As for whether it is right or not, I think time will tell you the final answer.”
Scott understood what he meant.
Dumbledore has an open attitude towards this matter.
No opposition, no interference.
Of course, no joining.
In general, he still supports it.
It’s just that he doesn’t seem to support the matter itself.
“To be honest, I’m very relieved, Scott.”
Dumbledore continued.
“I am very pleased that you have such an ideal.”
“You are a special student.”
“Creating a new world, although such an ideal is difficult to distinguish good from bad, destined to be full of difficulties and thorns along the way, it can also be called great.”
“And you and several other young people have the determination and courage to change the whole world. In my opinion, this is the most important thing.”
“This makes me look forward to the future of the wizarding world even more.”
This is actually somewhat different from what Scott thought.
He originally thought that whether he supported or opposed, Dumbledore would express a clear attitude, and even deeply participate in it.
Seemingly seeing Scott’s confusion, Dumbledore smiled freely.
“I am old, Scott.”
“I think I have lived long enough and done enough.”
“Before returning to death, I will do what I should do.”
“As for the future, it is too far away, and it is not something that an old man like me should participate in.”
“I can safely hand over the future to you young people.”
