Scott rowed the boat some distance from the pier and stopped, letting the boat drift with the waves.

He said to Jacob, "It's only been a month since school started, but you've changed a lot. Compared to the first time we met, there were already two people. ”

Jacob chuckled softly, "What if I'm as naïve as I was when I first entered the wizarding world?" ”

Scott curled the corners of his lips slightly, and he rested one hand on the side of the boat, his five fingers unconsciously tapping lightly in succession.

"I'm not accusing you, Jacob." He whispered, "On the contrary, I appreciate your approach." ”

Jacob didn't show a surprised look, he looked at Scott calmly, "I know. ”

He said, "You were going to expose me completely, but then you changed your mind, didn't you?" ”

Scott didn't shy away from agreeing with his judgment, "You're right. ”

He suddenly raised his head and waved at the Weasley twins, who were waving at him on the shore of the lake in the distance.

He then went on to say to Jacob: "I didn't choose to expose you later because it was a matter of position. ”

"Pure-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards?" Jacob asked, insightfully.

Skod nodded, "I thought you were on Jasmine Travers' side. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed again, "I didn't expect that this time I was blind." ”

Jacob sneered at this, "I know very well what they think of Muggle-born wizards. And I didn't come here to learn how to be a house-elf. ”

Scott recounted what happened the day before, "Now that I think about it, you should also be credited with Dupin's exposure so easily, right?" The flaws left by her infiltration into our dorm room were all too obvious. ”

He clapped his palms, "You should have been waiting for such an opportunity, and it just so happened that the three Travers were sick and gave you a chance." ”

Jacob didn't hide it, "Yes, I kept urging Dupin, which made her nervous, so she chose to use the Cutting Charm to open Davis's box in a panic. ”

"It was you who chose to let Du Pin as a professor understand the whole thing. Well done, Jacob. ”

Scott clapped softly.

"Originally, I thought that although it might have been forced at first, then you simply chose to become Travers's henchman. If I don't have the will to save myself, I certainly won't go out of my way to save you. That's why I didn't bother with you later. ”

At this point, he paused, and quickly pulled out his wand.

"Waddiwasi."

The firing spell accurately hit the twins' floating stones, and flew back with the stones in reverse.

Scott took his wand in his hand and continued to say to Jacob, "Now I understand. You refused my help, didn't ask the professor for help, and chose to continue hanging out with those pure-blood witches, did you want something from Travers? ”

He tapped his wand on his palm, "Like, some black magic." ”

Jacob nodded dryly.

"It's just a few small curses and a few poisonous spells, and it's not really black magic. But I think it's more important to know something that is common sense about pure-blood wizards. He said.

"Maybe it doesn't make a deal for you, Scott."

Jacob didn't show too much expression on his face.

"But I don't have the magic talent you have. I think it's worth the effort to get what you can't learn from Hogwarts. ”

At this moment, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Even though I was verbally humiliated every day during this time, and I was hit on the body by a spell, I think it was worth it!"

"It's very Ravenclaw."

Scott commented, and then raised his hand to cast a firing spell on the flying stones.

"I'm not going to judge whether it's worth it or not." At the same time, he said to Jacob, "That's your choice, and I'm not going to point fingers at it." ”

"It's also very Ravenclaw." Jacob sent Scott's assessment back.

"Thank you." Scott then said, "But, you know, Travers should be back at Hogwarts. ”

Jacob wasn't surprised, "I know that Travers did the most to provoke ......"

He shook his head, "...... You know, that doesn't constitute a crime. Avery, who gave Dupin the Black Magic Item, made more obvious mistakes than she did. ”

Scott regained his grip on the oars and began to slowly paddle the boat in the direction of the dock.

"Although the professors will keep an eye on her when she returns to Hogwarts, you still have to watch out for her covert revenge." He warned Jacob.

Jacob smiled, "She'll probably get revenge on you, Scott." I know her well, she holds a grudge and doesn't give up. ”

His tone was full of meaning.

"Looks like you know about Travers' plan of revenge against me." "But you chose to hide it from Professor Flitwick. ”

Jacob had a sly look on his face, "My instincts told me not to lie in front of Professor Flitwick, so I only hid part of the truth and spent the rest of the time telling the truth. ”

"Your instincts are accurate." Scott complimented.

Jacob said, "The magic of magic is that there are so many means that we don't know how to do it, and it would be very difficult to be just on guard." ”

"So?" Scott raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So we should make that girl lose the ability to take revenge on us." Jacob said with a cold expression.

He paused, his face softened a little, and then said, "This should be the purpose of you calling me alone, right?" ”

"No, you're wrong. Jacob. ”

Scott's answer was not what he had hoped.

"Leaving Travers incapable of revenge on us?" He shook his head, "I'm afraid we can't do it, and even if we can, it's going to be extremely risky." I don't do this kind of unsure thing. ”

While Jacob's proposal sounds reasonable and appealing to Scott, but—

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, a place that Scott knew completely about, he would never risk it.

"What about you?" A look of surprise finally appeared on Jacob's face.

"I said, just to communicate with you."

At this time, the boat was already docked. Scott got up from the boat and jumped onto the dock.

He turned back to Jacob, who was still sitting on the boat, and said, "We are all Muggle-born wizards, and many times we are on the same page. And you're a smart guy, maybe we can work together many times in the future. This is a real preliminary understanding. ”

With that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Before leaving the docks, he heard Jacob's disgruntled voice, "I don't know you! ”

"It's a matter of your own abilities."

Scott turned his head and said, raising his feet up the stone steps leading to Hogwarts Castle.
