090. Milton's Choice, Shadow
Because he didn't want to disturb Roger's date, it wasn't until Roger returned to the dorm that night that Scott had a chance to tell him about Mir.
"I thought she was the limit for staring at you during school classes and meals!"
Eddie shouted in surprise even more than Roger, he had only just heard about it.
"You didn't make it clear when you broke up with him?" Scott thought something was strange about it.
Roger has always handled this very well, and even frequent breakups have not caused any trouble.
I don't know why this semester started to roll over.
Roger was also puzzled by this, and he hesitated and said, "Maybe I should have a good talk with her?" ”
"Maybe?"
The topic of how to appease his ex-girlfriend is too esoteric for Scott to give good advice.
Anyway, that's the end of the topic.
Because Milton stood up, he wanted to tell them something.
“…… Scott has noticed my anomaly, right? He said.
Scott leaned against the head of the bed and spoke, "Since you say so, indeed." ”
So both Roger and Eddie looked at him curiously.
"I'll just say one thing." Scott whispered, "How long have you not composed, how long have you not played the cello, Milton." ”
Milton lowered his eyelids, "I haven't composed for almost two months, and I haven't moved for half a month for the cello." ”
"What?"
Roger and Milton looked at Milton in shock.
"I thought you were running out of inspiration or feeling tired, and I sometimes didn't want to pick up a paintbrush for a long time." Scott said.
"No, I went to her." Milton smiled that complicated again.
"Lost?"
Scott was also shocked.
He sat up from the bed and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Still smiling, Milton says, "Literally, I've lost my inspiration and talent for music. ”
"How so?" Scott found it incredible.
"It has to do with that music." Milton said faintly.
He turned and walked to the window and looked out at the snow falling.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Eddie couldn't help but ask.
"It's the end for most people." Milton turned, "Because after that, only I could hear that music." ”
Roger also said incredulously, "But, Professor Flitwick said ......"
"I really wasn't hurt." Milton affirmed, "As the professor said, it was a trade-off and a choice for me." ”
"Trade-offs? Choose? So you gave up music? "Scott thought it was incredible.
"Yes, I traded her for magic." Milton said.
At this time, he seemed very calm.
"What are you talking about?"
Eddie looked at Milton as if he were looking at a stranger.
Of course, Scott and Roger are about the same.
They all know how much Milton loves music! Definitely more than magic!
And, trading musical talent for magic?
How is this possible?
In short, now their minds are full of doubts.
"I don't know how." "But that's how it happened." ”
He looked at Scott, "You sensed it, didn't you, Scott, my magic is starting to grow at a high speed. ”
"I thought it was adolescent growth."
Scott looked at him with some concern.
"What's going on, Milton." He asked, "Why did you make that choice?" ”
"I just don't want to go on like this anymore."
Milton's face was pale, but his eyes were determined.
"The better my magical talent, a lot of people will be happier with it."
Scott opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't.
Milton himself would be unhappy, he wanted to say.
But he guessed that Milton's choice had something to do with his family.
He wasn't Milton and it wasn't clear what his situation was.
Even if you know his situation, you can't empathize with him.
And what position to question his choice?
Roger and Eddie's attitudes were also very entangled, but they also shared with Scott and didn't say much after all.
The atmosphere in the dormitory finally became a little low.
But Milton, who is usually the most sentimental, took the lead in getting out of his emotions.
"It's my choice, friends." He said, "You just need to bless." ”
Over the next few days, Scott became more and more aware of the change in Milton's magic.
This kind of growth is almost no less than experiencing a magical riot.
The vast majority of wizards don't have this experience after they enroll.
This also made Scott more and more curious about the oath of a "deal" with Milton.
This kind of thing is directly beyond his original imagination.
Talent, inspiration, this kind of ethereal, substantial, conceptual things can also be operated?
And Milton did not say the specific process of the "deal", as if he was limited by the oath and could not speak.
This gave Scott a new appreciation for magic.
But he still didn't make up his mind to find out about it.
There is no time to explore.
The first semester of his fourth year was finally over.
On the day of the holiday, Scott put all his luggage in a shape-shifting lizard leather bag and left the dormitory relaxed.
Rimbaud, as a pet, still stands on his shoulder.
He met Jacob in the common room, who was sitting on the couch reading a book.
"Jacob, aren't you going back?" He asked casually.
"I can't take some mess home anymore." Jacob looked up at him, "You have to be careful, Scott. ”
“……”
Scott's joy at returning home was suddenly overshadowed.
He understood that Jacob was talking about the fact that Jasmine Travers had sent house-elves to follow him to his house.
He's reminding Scott to be careful of bringing "messy stuff" home.
This made Scott immediately alarmed.
For Jacob's reminder is not unreasonable.
"I hope you're not a crow's mouth." He said to Jacob angrily.
He was a little annoyed that he was so immersed in the joy of going back that he didn't think of this layer.
He didn't sign the list and had written back to his parents to tell him the date he would come home, and now he couldn't regret it.
You can only leave Hogwarts as planned.
Scott narrowed his eyes.
I hope no one is so long-sighted and disturbs their vacation.
After saying goodbye to Jacob, Scott and his roommates left the castle and rode a horse-drawn carriage outside the main entrance of the academy to the Hogsmeade Village platform.
After boarding the train, Roger went to find his girlfriend.
Scott sat in the cubicle with Milton and Eddie talking about how they were going to spend their Christmas holidays.
Everyone looked happy.
It didn't take long for Roger to return.
He shrugged his shoulders at them, "She's talking to a couple of girls, so I don't want to disturb her girlfriends." ”
Scott laughed at him a few times before continuing their conversation.
The train started quickly.
Scott looked out the window at the passing scenery, and his mood slowly calmed down.
It's useless to be upset.
It's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.
At this time, the roommates started talking about how to get home after arriving in London.
Eddie's home is in London, and Roger and Milton's wizarding father will pick them up.
Only Scott had to transfer to the train to the south alone.
"You're going to Charing Cross Station?" Eddie said, "You can take my car, and I'll ask Daddy to take you there." Actually, you can try to take the knight bus back to ......"
"Shh
Scott abruptly made a silent gesture.
There was an immediate silence in the compartment.
Scott suddenly stood up and opened the door to the cubicle.
He looked coldly at Mir, who was standing outside the door at a loss, "You shouldn't have just happened to be passing by, right?" Miss Mill. ”
