077. An unexpected letter
Early Saturday morning.
Scott woke up feeling his body regain his strength and asked Madam Pomfrey to be discharged.
Madam Pomfrey was a very conscientious therapist, and she examined his body carefully before reluctantly agreeing to let him go.
"Remember, Mr. Trollope." She warns Scott, "You're not yet an adult, your magic is in the process of growing naturally, and oversqueezing your body's potential can have a bad impact on your future!" ”
"Also, don't try unfamiliar spells unless you're watched by a professor!" She stared at Scott sternly.
"Yes, ma'am." Scott obediently responded.
After leaving the school hospital, he went straight to the auditorium with a little hunger.
It's breakfast time.
Since it was a weekend, there were probably a lot of students who were happy to sleep on this day, so there weren't many people in the auditorium.
But when Scott walked into the auditorium, he still attracted the attention of many people.
He knew that this was because the way he was taken to the school hospital by Roger was seen by too many people, and there were even multiple versions of rumors.
At this time, the students in the auditorium couldn't help but look at the protagonist of the rumor when they saw it.
But fortunately, he was mentally prepared.
He first silently recited a sentence he had read on the Internet in his previous life several times - as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
Then he didn't feel embarrassed, and ignored the curious teasing glances, and walked to the Ravenclaw table and sat down casually.
He wasn't prepared to clear up the rumors, because they didn't work.
Students who spread gossip just to pass their boring spare time, they only seek to be interesting and do not care about the truth.
And, based on Scott's past experience, such news will only last for a day at most.
Continuing to ignore those gazes, Scott put on a look of disenchantment and chose his favorite sun egg among the relatively rich food on the table.
But his eating action soon stopped.
He turned his head and watched as Percy Weasley walked over and stood beside him.
"Trollope." Percy said to him, "I have a letter from you here. ”
"My letter? Who sent it to me? Scott was surprised.
He couldn't understand how he could have faith in Percy's hands.
Moreover, he noticed that Percy looked a little angry.
"This is Bill's letter to you."
Percy took out a letter and put it on the table in front of Scott, and said in an unfriendly tone.
"If you remember, you once wanted me to introduce you to each other because you wanted to discuss his thesis with Bill!"
Oh!
Scott secretly said that it was not good.
He had been through a lot of things some time ago, and he didn't bother with his plans to communicate with Bill Weasley for a while.
"I've been waiting for you to come to me."
Percy continued.
"You offered to write to Bill about Transfiguration, and asked me to help introduce you to the Transfiguration Club. Then you should write a letter and ask me to pass it on to Bill. ”
"Sorry......" Scott said quickly.
But Percy didn't mean to let Scott finish his sentence, and he glanced at Scott haughtily.
"Although you have not acted as you say, I mentioned you in passing when I wrote to Bill." "I told him you were interested in his paper," he said. ”
His mouth kept talking, and Scott couldn't even get into it.
"You should be glad, Trollope. Bill is a friendly wizard, and although you didn't show any sincerity, he took the initiative to write a letter to you. ”
Percion's chin lifted.
"Now, you can write back to Bill yourself, Trollope."
"Thank you......" Scott said.
"Anyway, I wish you all a happy exchange, goodbye."
Percy didn't wait for Scott to finish, and after saying goodbye to himself, he turned and walked away.
“……”
Scott looked at his back, then at the letter on the table, with a somewhat mixed mood.
was scolded by Percy early in the morning, and he still couldn't talk back.
Although he was a little depressed, he did not do this well, and he could only admit it......
After breakfast, Scott opened the letter curiously.
He had no idea that Bill Weasley would write to him.
This is indeed rare.
After all, the other party is already an adult wizard, and it would be a little eager to take the initiative to write a letter to him, a little wizard in the fourth grade, to discuss magic.
Scott thought that the average wizard would be more reserved when it comes to young people asking for advice.
He unfolded the letter and read it carefully.
Bill greeted him first and then wrote about his paper.
Although the paper was published in Transfiguration Today, it did not cause much discussion and recognition.
Most wizards who saw the paper just found Bill's point of view interesting and new, but they also thought that the paper was worthless beyond that.
After all, in the eyes of those wizards, a conjecture that is impossible to realize, and that there is only a certain possibility in theory, is indeed worthless.
This discouraged Bill a little.
Originally, he was very confident in that paper, and he wanted to find some wizards who were interested in his conjecture by publishing the paper, and discuss the research with him.
But the results clearly disappointed him.
No wizard wants to work with him on a conjecture that seems impossible to realize.
Until Percy mentions Scott in the letter.
Percy apparently wrote down everything Scott had said that day at the Transfiguration Club in the letter.
Bill was so pleased with this that he didn't hesitate to write a letter.
He thanked Scott for his appreciation of the paper and was glad that Scott had come up with the same conjecture.
However, after reading the letter, Scott was a little unhappy.
Because at the end of the letter, Bill said that he himself had given up on that conjecture—
[I studied it alone for a while, and even ventured into the interior of the pyramid several times for this.]
Later, I gave up.
In fact, as long as there is the slightest hope of success, I will not give up.
But that's too hard.
And, my sanity tells me that I shouldn't waste too much time on things that don't have hope.
So do you.
Both Fred and George complimented you on being a genius and I guess you're very good friends.
I don't want my thesis to affect the future of a Ravenclaw genius...... ]
Seeing this, Scott realized that Fred and George had probably also written to Bill about that incident.
And the real reason Bill wrote this letter was to persuade him to give up testing that conjecture.
Scott let out a slow sigh.
He was really not in a good mood at the moment.
Because he knew very well that his Transfiguration research had reached a bottleneck.
The attempt to make him faint the day before can be said to have been successful, but it can also be said to have failed.
With his current magic, it is obvious that he will not be able to successfully "create" the raven Rimbaud in his setting with Transfiguration.
It may be only two years before his magic power grows naturally and he will be able to successfully complete this transformation, but this incident still brings him some frustration.
There is also the combination of Transfiguration with ancient magic and magic spells, although he can combine the simplest Transfiguration with the most basic ancient magic scripts, but that's all.
Although that level of results can effectively enrich his means, it does not have much effect on the improvement of hard power.
And there is nothing he can do to make this achievement even better.
He had some expectations for the exchange with Bill.
But Bill's abandonment was like pouring a bucket of cold water on his head.
Exhaling again, Scott slowly put the letter away, and at the same time suppressed the negative emotions in his heart little by little, and let go of the distractions in his mind little by little.
He began to think intently about how to cut out some of the complex settings of Raven Rimbaud so that it could be "born" early without being too much inferior to the full version.
Yes, of course he didn't want to give up like that.
After thinking about Rimbaud for a while, he began to think about how to reply to Bill.
He was thinking about whether to show his results to the other party.
He believes that as long as he shows his results, Bill will change his mind.
At this time, the familiar magic approached, and Scott came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He turned his head and watched as Jacob walked over to him and sat down.
