063. Scott's Frightened Bird Behavior
On the map of the living spots, Ginny's name was still walking back and forth in the empty classroom that Scott had just fled.
Scott took a few breaths and sat down against the railing on the edge of the top floor.
Now he can only wait.
Let's see if Tom Riddle can see if there's someone in the empty classroom just now.
If it is Riddle himself, then there will undoubtedly be some clues.
At the very least, the magic that remained from Scott's spell casting it just now should not have dissipated.
But Scott can only hope that Riddle, who is controlling Ginny, will ignore these because he can't play his own strength.
At the same time, he also expects the basilisk to be completely different creatures from normal snakes.
You must know that ordinary snakes can detect the location of their prey through subtle vibrations on the ground, and some snakes even have the ability to sense heat.
If the basilisk had such abilities, it would have sensed the heat left behind by Scott and the twins in the classroom.
Luckily, luck always seemed to be on Scott's side.
On the map of the living spot, Ginny's name finally walked out and returned to the hallway after several laps around the empty classroom.
Scott breathed a sigh of relief again.
It seems that his arrangement was not in vain!
Thinking of this, even though his personality has always been calm, he couldn't help but clench his fist and wave.
His eyes were still fixed on Ginny's name on the map of the living spots.
Next, she lingered in the hallway for a while, then walked into the women's bathroom where the entrance to the chamber was located, and began to walk slowly towards Gryffindor Tower.
Is it over?
Scott, sitting on the ground, stretched his legs and leaned on the railing relaxed, looking up at the stars in the night sky.
After the tension passed, his tense body relaxed, and he felt a little depleted.
The cool night breeze blew through the tower, bringing a cold wave that ruffled Scott's hair, but he only felt comfortable.
Breathing in the icy air that belonged to November, the cold stimulated his lungs and cleared his mind a lot.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a "squeak" sound.
The wooden door to the top floor was pushed open!
This realization instantly made Scott's hairs stand on end and his spine cold.
Without thinking about it, he rolled in a circle, clenched the wand in his hand, and quickly cast a transfiguration spell on the old desk.
"Moo!"
The desk turned into a bull in an instant, and slammed into the direction of the door.
Scott didn't look that way, he lay down beside George and Fred, one hand tucking the map into his arms, and the other hand cast two shapeshifts in quick succession.
The other two old desks were once again transformed into two giant eagles, flapping their wings and flying, clawing out and grabbing the sleeping bags containing George and Fred into the air.
Scott, on the other hand, scrambled to his feet, turned around and jumped over the railing without looking back, and jumped downstairs.
A gust of wind blew and slapped on his face, and Scott, who was falling rapidly, could barely open his eyes.
At that moment, a long rope burst out from the top of the tower, wrapped tightly around his waist, and quickly pulled him back.
However, Scott was not one to sit still, and since the rope did not tie his arm, he pointed his wand at the rope around his waist with difficulty.
"Divided!"
The rope snapped and Scott fell down again.
However, in the next second, the rope stretched again tied him up again.
Scott was about to repeat his old trick when Dumbledore's voice came through the wind.
"Relax, Scott."
"Professor Dumbledore!"
Scott couldn't help but exclaim, and took several large sips of cold air.
"It's me."
Dumbledore's voice rang out, and the rope pulled Scott toward the top of the tower again.
Scott obediently didn't resist this time, allowing the rope to pull him back to the top of the tower, and gently fall to the ground.
Footsteps rang out.
"You've broken a lot of school rules, Scott."
Scott sat up and looked at Dumbledore, who was dressed in a dressing gown.
"I'm sorry, Professor." He obediently apologized.
He was a little annoyed, he had been so engrossed in Ginny's name that he had ignored Dumbledore's movements.
Moreover, because he was so nervous at that moment, he didn't even carefully perceive the magic of the person who came.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so much.
Like a frightened bird.
Dumbledore smiled at him and looked up at the two dark shadows in the air, "I think you'll need to put the two Weasleys down first, they might catch a cold." ”
With a casual wave of his hand, he untied Scott's rope.
Scott stood up and smiled.
Two eagle chirps came from afar, and two giant eagles descended from the sky and landed on the top of the tower again.
Their wide wings flapped vigorously, whipping up a whirlwind.
Scott waved his wand twice after they put the twins down, turning them into old desks again.
At the same time, he turned his head to look at the other old desk in the doorway, which had just turned into a bull.
"Excellent Transfiguration, Scott." Dumbledore said in an admiring tone, "I've never seen a young wizard at your age who could use Transfiguration so easily. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor."
Scott straightened up his messy clothes, and then said to Dumbledore in a solemn tone, "I don't know if you already know what we've been doing for the past two days, Professor. I'd say we've probably found the 'heir of Slytherin'. ”
"I gotta say, very creative approach, Scott."
Dumbledore complimented him again.
"I've been paying attention to this for the past two days, about the Slytherin Vault."
The blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses looked at Scott curiously.
"You used a method that I couldn't have imagined."
He winked playfully.
"Or rather, most wizards can't think of such a simple, fun, and useful solution."
Scott shook his head, "It's just a little cleverness. ”
He glanced down at the twins, his face a little tangled.
Dumbledore couldn't have seen that he had cast a stun spell on the twins.
But the premise of what he thought was reasonable was that he found out that the target they were looking for was the Weasleys' youngest daughter, the twins' little sister.
To illustrate the problem, he would have to expose Dumbledore to the map of the living spots.
Although he doesn't care, the living map is a twin thing after all.
Although the origin is not so legitimate.
At this time, Dumbledore waved his hand, awakening the twins.
The twins who opened their eyes immediately fell silly.
"Oh!"
"Merlin!"
The two of them stared at Dumbledore with wide eyes, unable to utter a word.
"Three gentlemen." Dumbledore said kindly, "I think what you need most is to go back and get some good sleep." ”
Scott looked at him in surprise.
"You don't have to get involved in the rest, of course the professors and I will solve those troubles."
Dumbledore looked at them with a smile.
"When this matter is resolved, I will invite you to have afternoon tea together, and then we will have a good chat."
With that, he waved his hand and turned to walk towards the wooden door.
"Professor!" Scott said, "Those negatives ......"
"Oh, don't worry, Scott." Dumbledore turned his head and blinked, "Don't look at me as I'm over a hundred years old, but I'm still curious about new things. ”
