068. Classical Music Club Incident Aftermath
It's finally over.
Scott and the Weasley twins walk out of her office after receiving a harsh meal of criticism from Professor McGonagall.
Thankfully, Professor McGonagall let Potter go before she could criticize them.
And, for his involvement in the basilisk slaying battle, Potter also received extra points and a Hogwarts Special Contribution Award.
Seeing Potter's elated appearance, Scott didn't have to face the negative emotions that Potter had because of his "whistleblowing".
In the hallway, Fred said dissatisfiedly: "It's not fair, we obviously have made a huge contribution to this matter!" I think they should give us more points each, or give us a 'Special Contribution Award' as well! ”
George slapped him the back, "Hey! Don't forget that scores and medals are never our pursuit! ”
"Oh! Right! Fred made a horrified expression, "What happened to me?" Imperius cursed? ”
Scott didn't care about the two's tricks, and he yawned when sleepiness hit.
He calmly said: "There are no penalties, there are bonus points, and there is an extra day off today, which is already good." ”
Medals and other things that don't have any real benefits, he really don't care at all.
He waved at the twins.
"You're going to see Ginny at the school hospital? Then I went back to sleep. ”
"Oh! Good bye! ”
"Good dreams, man!"
George and Fred laughed.
But Scott's next words broke their smiles.
"Don't forget Dumbledore's invitation to afternoon tea, we haven't told him the details of our operation yet. You'd better think about how to hide the existence of the live map. ”
George and Fred were dumbfounded.
"Oh! You're such a bastard, Scott. ”
"Bastard Scott!"
Scott smiled disapprerovingly and turned to leave.
"I hope you can make up a decent storyline, after all, Dumbledore is not an easy person to deceive."
He walked away with brisk steps, leaving the twins' denunciations behind.
He thought Dumbledore knew about the map of the living point, he always knew a lot of things, but he didn't tell them.
He's also looking forward to what kind of story the twins can make.
Speaking of live spot maps.
In fact, when he was staring at the map of the living spot at night, he also deliberately looked for the name of Peter Pettigrew.
He thought it would be great if he could solve the events of two school years in one go.
As a result, of course, nothing was found.
After all, George and Fred had been on the live map for so long and hadn't found out, and there was a reason why the mouse spotted Ron Weasley had was the Animagus of Pettigrew.
Scott also has speculation.
The Living Spot map hides the traces of its maker, the Raiders Four.
Only one of them can see it if he picks up the map.
After all, in the "original book", it was Lupin who picked up the map and finally discovered the trace of Pettigrew.
In short, due to the immaturity of the conditions, Scott gave up the idea of picking out the Pettigrew.
As the sun lifts the morning fog, the silence of Hogwarts Castle slowly comes alive.
Unbeknownst to the students, the new day was interrupted early in the morning of a horrific event that would have engulfed the entire school.
When Scott returned to his dorm room, his three roommates had just gotten up.
In the face of their inquiring eyes, Scott just said, "The trouble is completely solved, let's talk about it later", and fell asleep.
At noon, when Scott woke up, he found that his roommates were there.
"You're awake, Scott." Eddie gestured to the small table next to Scott's bed, "We brought you food." ”
"Thanks, but I need to get some showers." Scott walked out of the bedroom with the basket under the curious gaze of the trio.
When he finally got refreshed and returned to his dormitory, he ate his roommate's take-out lunch while telling them about his experience from last night to now.
Of course, he did not go into great detail and hid some secrets.
For example, the map of the living spot in the hands of the twins.
George and Fred would share it with him because they trusted him, and he couldn't just say it.
Fortunately, he is facing a roommate, and if it is inconvenient to say, he just needs to point out that he can't say it, and he doesn't have to bother making up lies.
"This ...... It's also too ......."
After listening to Scott's story, Eddie stuttered a little for the first time.
"Slytherins, basilisks, mystery men......" he said with a groan, "and this involves these horrible ......"
Milton also muttered, "It's unimaginable that there is a basilisk in the wizarding world that can kill people with its eyes!" ”
He turned his head to look at Roger, "Is there a magical creature over there at the Classical Music Club that can play the organ?" ”
"I'd rather believe it's a ghost playing." Roger said.
"Organ?" Scott asked them, "Is there really a secret room over there at the classical music club?" ”
Roger nodded, "That's right, you guessed it was the gramophone playing music, but that's wrong." ”
"The organ sounded again last night." "We searched for music for a long time, but we couldn't find the source. ”
Roger added: "Gideon Krumb said that he had never heard it before. He was a Hufflepuff seventh grader and has been in the Classical Music Club since first grade. ”
Scott looked at Eddie, "Didn't you inquire about anything, Eddie?" ”
Eddie shook his head, "No, the sound of the organ heard in the classical music club classroom has never happened before. ”
Scott asked Milton again, "You didn't tell Professor Flitwick about this?" ”
"I don't think there's anything to be investigated into at all." Milton said softly, "The music is so beautiful, and she's not harmful, is it?" ”
Roger shrugged his shoulders, "Milton was fascinated by the music, and he thought it would be best to make it a romantic campus legend." ”
Milton said, "Oh, that's what I thought. This is the magical Hogwarts, as long as it's harmless, you don't have to go deeper, just enjoy the magic and the wonderful feeling that music brings us. ”
"Look, that's it." Roger spread his hands to Scott.
"You understand me, right, Scott." Milton looked at Scott with the eyes of a confidant, "I've always felt that going too far is going to ruin the romance and beauty of art. ”
"Milton, you can't put your art above life." Roger disagreed, "The Slytherin chambers hide deadly monsters, how can you be sure that the sound of the organ you hear is harmless?" ”
Milton said with some emotion: "Of course I can understand the music, I can understand the emotions expressed by every note, she is harmless!" ”
"Besides, the members of our club have agreed that we will record that piece of music and reproduce it in a symphony." ”
At this point, he emphatically added, "That's what your girlfriend Caccini thinks, Roger." ”
"I really don't understand you." Roger said bitterly, "This thing is obviously very weird, but you have to indulge in it!" ”
He looked at Scott again, "What do you think, Scott?" Maybe your ability can find the source of that music. ”
“……”
Facing the gazes of Roger and Milton together, Scott suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not fragrant.
Is he the kind of person who would take the initiative to venture out and find some organ chamber?
Even if he starved to death, died outside, and jumped from the top of the tower, he would not go.
