014. New discoveries, dark tides
On a few more occasions in the days that followed, Scott saw Jacob Kent mingling with several girls.
Scott still offered to say hello to him twice.
He was sure that the boy understood his greeting, but the boy coped with it in a perfunctory manner every time.
So Scott never said hello to him since.
After doing the math, he had given the boy three chances to call for help, but the other party didn't seem to want to ask for help.
So Scott didn't take it to heart anymore.
It was only one day in late September that Eddie suddenly announced in his dorm room that he had discovered more "about that thing".
At that time, Scott didn't realize for a moment what he meant by "that thing".
Until Eddie walked up to him and excitedly said, "Scott, you're right!" Miss 'Poison Doll' is really not simple. ”
"Huh?"
Scott was thrilled to understand what Eddie was talking about.
He immediately straightened his expression and asked him calmly, "Very well, Eddie, tell me what you found?" ”
"You ......," Eddie looked at him with suspicion, "you can't have forgotten about it, have you?" Scott! It was a task you gave me at that time! ”
"Why do you say that?" Scott looked surprised, "I've been waiting for your progress, Eddie. ”
"No, it's not just you." Eddie's tone was full of distrust, "I suddenly remembered that you hadn't asked me about any progress in this matter all this time!" ”
At this time, Roger, who was standing behind Eddie, glanced at Scott weakly.
He hurriedly walked over and put his hand on Eddie's shoulder, "Of course we won't keep asking about your progress, because we know that you are undoubtedly a genius when it comes to digging for information, Eddie, and we all believe in you." ”
"Really?" Eddie turned his head and stared at him suspiciously.
"Of course." Roger nodded unchanged.
"Milton."
Eddie turned abruptly, trying to find the least lying, and the least pretending person in the room.
At this time, Scott and Roger began to panic a little, and hurriedly looked towards Milton's bed.
Swish!
Milton, who was well aware of his flaws, had quickly pulled the curtain on the bed.
His somewhat unsteady voice came through the blue flannel, "Yes...... I'm sorry, I seem to be a little sleepy. ”
Both Scott and Roger were a little helpless.
It was Milton, and his voice full of vanity had betrayed them.
"Oh, since Milton is tired, let's not disturb his rest."
Roger tried to make amends, so he reached out again and put his arm around Eddie's neck, forcefully led him to the windowsill, and then forced him to sit on the couch.
Unable to resist the tall Roger, Eddie sat down with a stinky face and stared at Roger and Scott with resentful eyes.
"You just forgot." He leaned back on the couch, "I should have noticed." ”
"Milton!" He suddenly said loudly in pain, "Originally, I thought it was only you, only you I could trust!" I didn't expect you to learn badly! ”
"Right...... I'm sorry......" Milton's faint apology rang out.
"Forget it."
Eddie was a little frightened when he heard Milton's tone, and quickly pointed the finger at the other two people.
"If you want me to say, it's all your fault!"
"It's not my fault!" Roger began to shirk his responsibilities, "You know, Eddie, I've been busy with Quidditch training in my spare time, and Captain Bruce wants to get this year's Quidditch trophy before he graduates. ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Scott, "And the commander of this matter is Scott!" ”
“……”
Scott sat down on the bedpost and put down a small piece of ebony in his hand.
"It's ......," he said, "I can explain it." ”
"Really?" Eddie, who was sitting on the couch, took an even more arrogant posture and crossed Erlang's legs, "Then please explain, Mr. Trollope." ”
"I gave the boy two more chances to call for help......"
Scott talks about his experience.
“…… That's it, since he himself has given up, I don't take this matter to heart anymore. After all, everyone is responsible for their every choice. ”
Speaking of which, Scott has been justified.
"Have you forgotten one more thing, Mr. Trollope?" Eddie gritted his teeth and said, "That's to inform your poor roommate, Eddie Kamitchell, that he can give up the mission!" ”
"Oh, Eddie! I just can't bear to disturb your pleasure digging into secrets, and I know you've always been obsessed with it. ”
Scott hastened to change the subject.
"Tell us about it, what kind of news did you dig up?"
"Yes, I remember you said you had discovered more." Roger also said, "That must be pretty shocking news." ”
"Hmph."
Speaking of this, Eddie was very proud, and his nose was about to.
"Good thing there's me, Scott." He was smug, "This has exceeded your expectations, what would you have done without me?" ”
Scott took a deep breath and smiled kindly at Eddie, "I see, then please tell us quickly." ”
"Okay."
Eddie immediately settled down.
"I said it before. You're right, Scott. That Miss Travers was secretly doing amazing things......"
Eddie reveals what he's discovered.
The Slytherin first-year, Jasmine Travers, whom Eddie called the "poison doll", had silently gathered a large number of junior female students around her in less than a month after the start of school.
Most of these girls are in their first and second years, most of them belong to Slytherin and Ravenclaw, and a small number of Hufflepuffs.
Of course, there is no Gryffindor.
Most of these schoolgirls come from old pure-blood families or have wizarding parents.
"They secretly formed a secret society." Eddie whispered mysteriously, "It's [Pureblood Girls' Afternoon Tea]." ”
"You made up the name of this society." Roger frowned, "But it's not important, the important thing is that since that girl has already attracted so many students, the movement should not be small, how can no one find out?" ”
"They're all connected to each other in private, secretly, and they've never been together on a large scale." Eddie swore that "the girls Scott saw before and were very close to Jacob Kent should be the backbone of this society!" ”
"Wait...... As a boy and Muggle-born, how the hell did Jacob Kent get involved? Roger was surprised, "Speaking of which, this kid is very powerful!" ”
"Nope." Scott had a bit of a headache, "What has to be figured out now is, what exactly does Travers want to do if Eddie's inquiry is true?" Become the new generation of Dark Lords? ”
"Don't say that."
Roger's face suddenly turned a little pale.
"It's not funny at all."
Scott thought to himself, I'd like to make this a joke even more.
You know, his first plan for this school year corresponds to Voldemort's journal and the Basilisk of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets! The devil knows why the parts that are not described in the "original book" also appear to be so turbulent.
