“Gangnir.”
The golden spear penetrated the ice and also penetrated the animal skin scroll frozen in it.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, pure black liquid slowly flowed out from the damaged area of the animal skin scroll.
Beside, Mr. Jeffrey’s soul began to emit pure white light.
His originally blurry face became clear.
“You win, young man.”
His tone was calm, as if he had accepted the outcome.
“Farewell, Mr. Jeffrey.”
Scott said calmly.
Mr. Jeffrey said nothing and disappeared directly.
“Leaving now?”
Helena didn’t seem to have come to her senses yet.
Scott said: “Of course, the Horcrux has been destroyed, and it’s time for him to return to the arms of death.”
Helena still felt a little regretful.
“I thought he would have something to say, such as repenting for what he had done in the past, or telling you to fulfill the ideal of ‘Agastrian’.”
Scott was a little amused, “How is it possible? The villain’s repentance before death and the touching farewell are all scenes that can only be seen in novels and dramas.”
With that said, he turned and walked towards another secret room where the treasure was hidden.
“Clean up, it’s time for us to leave here.”
A few days later, Scott returned home with a full load.
He returned to Argentina along the same route and took a long-distance flight back to the UK.
At this time, it is already December.
He did not stay longer in London, but after notifying Dumbledore, he arrived directly at the Hogwarts Headmaster’s office through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.
“Welcome back, Scott.”
“Welcome back, Ms. Grey.”
Dumbledore sat behind his desk and greeted them with a smile.
“The journey took less time than expected.”
“Yes.”
Scott sat down on the couch.
“Everything went pretty well.”
Although Mr. Jeffrey’s presence was an accident, it did not cause much trouble to him.
“That’s good.”
Dumbledore did not inquire about the details of Scott’s adventure.
He just happily informed Scott, “You came back just in time. Ms. Bones’s application was approved. Before Christmas, the Order of Merlin will hold an investiture ceremony, and you will receive a first-class medal.”
Scott had forgotten about it and was surprised to hear it at this time.
“Fortunately I didn’t miss it.”
“One more thing.” Dumbledore added, “You won the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award.”
“Special Contribution Award?”
Scott was stunned for a moment.
“You deserve this, or in other words, it should have been awarded to you a long time ago.”
Dumbledore said with a smile.
“Whether it is winning the Triwizard Tournament or making a contribution in defeating Voldemort, they all deserve a special contribution award.”
“Sorry, I was probably too busy, which caused this trophy to be very late.”
Having said this, Dumbledore waved his hand.
“That’s all I have to say, go ahead, I think your friends can’t wait to meet you.”
“Thank you, I’ll leave first, Professor.”
Scott stood up and left the principal’s office.
Helena left directly through the wall, and Scott went down the automatic spiral staircase.
The moment he walked out of the passage, he heard the voices of Fred and George singing together——
“Welcome our Special Contribution Award recipients.”
“Head Boy of Hogwarts.”
“A warrior who participated in defeating the Dark Lord.”
“The youngest adventurer.”
“Scott Trollope.”
“Come on!”
Bang bang bang bang…
A group of people followed and applauded.
Scott’s progress stopped.
He looked at his friends who were greeting him in the aisles and the other students who were watching in the corridor. The corner of his mouth twitched and he wanted to turn around and run away.
“Why don’t you roll out the red carpet?”
He said angrily, tried his best to ignore the other people watching, and walked up to high-five each of his friends.
Fred laughed and said, “Oh, I’ll be red carpet ready next time.”
George asked, “What pattern do you like?”
“Welcome back.” Roger hammered his shoulder.
Eddie shook hands with him solemnly and said pretentiously: “Mr. Trollope, I would like to talk to you about some investments that are sure to make a profit without losing money. I guarantee that you will be interested.”
Milton made a rare joke, “Oh, ignore this greedy businessman, he is eyeing your wealth.”
“Welcome back, Scott.”
Luna looked up at Scott.
Her eyes were misty and her tone was erratic.
“Congratulations, you have obtained the key to victory.”
After saying that, she blinked and her eyes became clear again.
“Thank you, Luna.”
After hearing Luna’s “prophecy”, Scott suddenly became happy.
After returning to school, Scott spent a period of peace and quiet.
During this time, the atmosphere in the magic world was calm and peaceful.
Voldemort has completely disappeared.
The Death Eaters under his command have also been tried and imprisoned in Azkaban.
The dark creatures summoned by the Dark Lord in the past are now running around, being hunted by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
Just like the layers of dark clouds covering the top of the head have completely dispersed, the sun is shining, and people are just happy and relaxed.
“But this peace will not last forever.”
In the meeting room of the Room of Requirement, the members of “Tower of Babel” were meeting.
It was Roger who spoke at this time.
“We all know what Scott will face, an enemy more terrible than Voldemort.”
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little solemn.
“Roger is right.”
Milton said carefully.
“Although everyone is still immersed in the joy of victory, only we know that there is a deeper darkness lurking in the magic world.”
“I have been preparing.” Scott said, “I hope there will be more time left.”
He has not yet completed the transformation of the “summoned beast”, and his mastery of the super magic “Gungnir” has not yet reached perfection.
In short, he still needs time.
Helena said: “Medea still hasn’t appeared, and all the members of the witch coven have not taken any action recently.”
Luna asked her softly, “Still haven’t found any trace of Medea?”
Helena shook her head, “Sorry, although I asked many ghost friends to look for her traces all over the UK, I still have no results.”
“Maybe she has gone abroad.” Eddie guessed.
Scott said, “Medea is not that important.”
Although Voldemort’s disappearance may make his curse on Medea disappear, it also cuts off the possibility of Medea’s complete recovery.
And Medea, who can’t return to her heyday, can no longer easily pose a threat to Scott.
“The important thing is Salazar Slytherin.”
Luna said, “I contacted Savannah, and the druids are not ready yet.”
Scott was not in a hurry about this.
“Even if they are ready, they have to wait until I am ready before they can open the passage.”
“Really can’t let us go in with you?” Fred couldn’t help asking.
George also patted the table, “That’s the legendary Avalon!”
“Shut up!”
“You will only hold us back if you go in!”
Without Scott saying anything, Angelina and Alia calmed the twins.
“Okay.”
Scott smiled, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
“It’s not the time to bring up these things yet. Let’s get back to the point.”
“Regarding the recruitment of new members for the Tower of Babel, do you have any recommendations for candidates to join us?”
Roger raised his hand, “I recommend Caccini Strozzi.”
Faced with everyone’s meaningful gazes, he remained calm and asked nonchalantly, “What’s wrong?”
“Ahem.”
Scott coughed lightly, “Everyone, raise your hands to vote.”
Angelina and Alia immediately raised their hands.
Under their stares, Fred and George also raised their hands.
Then, everyone else raised their hands.
Caccini voted unanimously.
“Then you will explain everything about the Tower of Babel organization to Caccini.”
Scott said to Roger, handing over a piece of parchment.
“This is a confidentiality agreement. Tell her that the reason for signing a magic contract is not to prevent her from leaking secrets on her own initiative, but to prevent someone from using magic or potions to make her leak secrets.”
“I know.”
Roger put away the parchment.
“This is a serious matter. Each of us has signed a magic contract, and no one can be exempted.”
Scott nodded and looked at the others, “Do you have any other recommended candidates?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Scott raised his hand, “I recommend Cedric Diggory and Jacob Kent.”
Speaking of which, he recommended these two people by himself.
Cedric noticed that this group of people often gathered together to play disappearing, and thought they had established some secret society, so he came to recommend himself.
Scott tried a few words and found that he agreed with the concept of “Tower of Babel”.
As for Jacob, the boy found Scott mysteriously and said to him: “Scott, have you finally established your own power? Please let me join your organization!”
Scott was speechless at the time.
In the end, he explained for a long time, and Jacob reluctantly believed that this was not a personal power established by Scott to rule the magic world, but his desire to join was still very strong.
“…In short, both of them are good candidates.”
Scott explained his reasons for recommendation to the members present.
After a show of hands, both of them passed with a majority vote.
Jacob didn’t get a unanimous vote because they were unfamiliar with him and Roger didn’t like him.
Cedric didn’t get a unanimous vote because the twins claimed they didn’t like him.
After that, the topic of the meeting returned to the things Scott was about to face.
“I need to go to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible.”
Scott announced.
“The specific purpose is the Prophecy Hall in the Department of Mysteries. I want to take away the prophecy about me.”
This is something he has wanted to do for a long time, but he has been putting it off until now.
Before, it was because Medea was asleep and the prophecy was not leaked.
But now that Voldemort has disappeared and Medea is probably awake, it is better to take away the prophecy ball as soon as possible or simply destroy it.
Roger asked, “Do I have to go in person?”
“You have to go in person.” Helena said, “Only people related to the prophecy can pick up the prophecy ball that contains the prophecy.”
Fred and George’s eyes lit up at the same time.
“You need help, Scott!”
“We can be your good helpers to sneak into the Ministry of Magic and steal the prophecy!”
“Use Polyjuice Potion?”
Eddie also began to plan for Scott.
“Maybe you can replace a certain Unspoken Person.”
Roger said: “Then someone needs to sneak attack the real Unspoken Person and finally cast Oblivion on him.”
Milton also said: “Maybe the Ministry of Magic has a magical device that can detect Polyjuice Potion. If it is discovered, Scott will need cover when escaping.”
Looking at the few people who were eager to try, Scott’s expression was very wonderful.
“Hey, hey, hey, put away your illegal and dangerous plans!”
He said unhappily.
“Listen, you have all led Milton astray!”
“No… no… not…”
Milton blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.
“What are you going to do?” Eddie asked, “You still have a way that is not illegal… oh…”
He came back to his senses.
“Yes, there is no need to take the risk of stealing.”
Scott said with a smile.
“I think the Minister of Magic, Ms. Bones, will agree to my small request to take the prophecy.”
“Tsk!”
“Boring!”
Fred and George were immediately discouraged.
Scott stood up and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the meeting, he called Cedric and Jacob to an empty classroom.
“Our organization is called ‘Babel Tower’, and the members of the organization are gathered for a common ideal.”
He introduced them to the two.
“Help you rule the magic world?” Jacob’s first reaction was still this.
“I remember I explained it to you!” Scott held his forehead.
He was too lazy to waste words and took out two pieces of parchment.
“In short, sign this magic contract for confidentiality, and you can become a member of ‘Babel Tower’.”
“You can read the contents of the contract first, and then decide whether to sign it.”
“Sorry, for the sake of confidentiality, I will tell you more details only after you become a formal member.”
Cedric was a little surprised and picked up the parchment and read it carefully.
But Jacob didn’t even think about it, and directly signed his name on the parchment, and then looked at Scott expectantly.
“…Are you too careless?”
Scott only felt that he hadn’t noticed for a while, and Jacob, who was originally cautious, seemed to have changed.
“Because it’s you, I have nothing worth your plotting.”
Jacob said in a single tone.
“Besides, from what I’ve observed, all your good friends are in the organization.”
“Thank you for your trust.”
Scott said this with some difficulty.
At this time, Cedric had finished reading the contract.
He pondered for a while, and finally signed his name.
“Can you tell me now?”
He looked at Scott curiously.
“The so-called ‘Tower of Babel’, the so-called common ideal.”
“Of course…”
Scott smiled, took out the [Magic Mirror] and called Eddie.
“Eddie, come to the first classroom on the left corridor on the third floor.”
He was too lazy to explain and answer the two people’s questions in detail.
Let’s leave this to Eddie’s gossip expert, the chatterbox prince “Tower of Babel” Propaganda Minister Carmichael!
