105. Michael's plan
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Scott's ugly face, Emilia also leaned over to look at the newspaper in his hand.
"Oh......"
She looked at the newspaper photo of Scott and Milton "goodbye" and let out a long sigh.
"It's a good shot." She commented, "They made you handsome, and Milton was beautiful...... If only he were really a girl. ”
In this photo, Milton only shows half of his face, and with his long loose hair, I am afraid that anyone who sees the photo will think that he is a girl.
But Milton's true gender is clearly not hidden from Rita Skeeter.
Or rather, the fact that Milton is a boy might have turned her on even more.
She obviously knows what to do, and it was only at the end of this story that Milton's real gender was revealed.
Scott herself has been portrayed in this article as a playboy who juggles between men and women......
After reading the report, Emilia said, "Seriously, I'd rather you be as romantic as you write in this article." ”
Her tone was regretful.
"You should enjoy your youth like a young man, my dear."
“……”
Scott took a deep breath.
"That's not the point, Millie." He said to his mother, "The point is that the address of our house was exposed by her!" ”
He even began to suspect that the Auror named Williamson had betrayed his home's address.
Emilia smiled and said, "It's okay, the article only says goodbye to you at Hastings Station......"
"It's Hastings, it's not London." "It's so easy to find our home in this town, don't forget how Milton got there," Scott reluctantly said. ”
This report is really bad news for Scott.
He began to resent his carelessness.
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked around his house and in and out of the yard.
According to the "originals", he knew that Rita Skeeter was an illegal Animagus who could turn into a beetle.
He wanted to make sure if the guy was still lurking around and eavesdropping.
Scott searched with both visual observation and magical perception, but found no anomalies.
In fact, the perception of magic was of little use to the Animagus.
He had consulted Professor McGonagall on this issue.
When a wizard becomes an animal, the magic fluctuates only in the process of change, but when they maintain the animal form, the magic is usually imperceptible because they are maintaining the "change" itself.
Fortunately, it is winter at this time, and the sudden appearance of bugs will be very conspicuous.
Scott looked around several times and was almost certain that Rita Skeeter was not nearby.
"What's wrong with you?"
Emilia watched Scott go about his job with some confusion.
"It's fine."
Scott smiled reluctantly.
"You and Mike might as well move out." He said.
"Move out?" Emilia shook her head, "No, we're not going to move out, where can we go?" ”
"Listen to me......"
Scott was a little flustered at this point.
He recounted what had happened to Jacob to Emilia again.
"You might be able to move to Spain." "After all, you grew up there, and so did your grandfather and grandmother," he proposed. ”
It was only a few days later that Scott learned that his maternal grandparents were still alive and that they had only returned to Spain after Emilia got married.
"No, we're not going anywhere." Emilia said resistantly.
"But those people have no bottom line." Scott advised, "During the Wizarding Wars more than a decade ago, those Death Eaters used to take pleasure in harming Muggles. ”
His relationship with the Slytherin purebloods was already bad, and predictably worse in the future, which made him worry about the safety of Emilia and Michael.
Emilia still shook her head, "We're no ordinary Muggles, dear!" I'll let them eat bullets before they raise that little stick! ”
“……”
Scott had a headache when he looked at his mother's refusal to accept the suggestion.
He decided to go to an antique store and talk to Michael.
At noon, he took over the delivery service for Michael and left the house.
Troope antique shop.
Michael fell silent after listening to Scott's words.
After a long time, he asked, "You let us leave England and leave you here alone?" ”
"You should understand, Mike." "It's going to worry me if you guys stay here," Scott said. ”
Michael, looking a little sad, asked in a deep voice, "Have we become a burden to you, son?" ”
"I ......"
Scott's mouth opened, speechless.
"Okay, I see what you mean."
Michael laughed again and reached out to pat Scott on the head.
"But you're underage, boy! Whether you're a wizard or not, you're just our son, and we have to watch you grow up! ”
"But ......"
Scott was about to say something more, but Michael interrupted him.
"No but!"
He patted Scott on the head again.
"It's not that bad right now, is it?"
He said calmly.
"Because of the last wizarding war, and now in the wizarding world, your headmaster's assertion is politically correct."
He motioned for Scott to sit down, and he sat down to enjoy lunch.
"Didn't you say that? The dark wizards' homes are subject to rounds of raids by the Ministry of Magic, indicating that the faction represented by you, Mr. Headmaster, has the upper hand. ”
Scott nodded.
Therefore, it is too late for those people to be cautious, and they will not take the initiative to hand over the handle to the enemy at such a time. And you haven't provoked that crazy enemy yet. ”
Scott had a different opinion.
"You're talking about wise and clever wizards." "But there's a crazy and stupid person everywhere, and it's often more lethal." ”
For example, he offended Strielna, who was the most ruthless, and he was not a calm person.
"All right, son."
Michael motioned for him to stop talking.
"You should trust your father."
Michael said proudly.
"Our family has lived in this town for hundreds of years, and if anyone does come looking for trouble, I can at least guarantee that I can leave safely with Millie."
"You know wizards can apparage, right? Mike. ”
Scott looked at him distrustfully.
"You can also disguise yourself as anyone through potions."
"With those guys' habit of looking down on us, they won't be so cautious in disguise."
Michael said disapprehantly.
"Well, then, we can move to the old house that your grandfather left behind, which is another street near the sea."
He smiled at Scott, leaned in and whispered, "There's a passage in the backyard of that house that leads down the cliff, and there's a hidden dock there." ”
Scott looked at him in surprise.
Michael said proudly, "I'll get the news whenever a stranger comes to town to inquire about our house, and that's enough time for me to leave with Millie on the boat." ”
