122. The question of free and not free
That night, Scott, who had left the Transfiguration Club, came to the elevated stone bridge outside the castle again.
As his scarf and cloak fluttered in the wind, the familiar sound of music rang out in his ears again.
Scott closed his eyes slightly.
But just as he was enjoying the wonderful feeling of his thoughts drifting with the music, the beautiful sound of music came to an abrupt end.
Scott opened his eyes in discomfort.
He sighed, the cheap picked up for nothing was really not so easy to take advantage of.
"Come on, kid, maybe we can talk."
He heard Medea's voice.
Scott leaned against the railing of the stone bridge and asked, "What do you want to talk about, Miss Slytherin......"
He paused, then tentatively added, "Or should I call you Mrs. Gaunt?" ”
"Oh, kid, you can just call me Medea!" Speaking of this, the other party's voice suddenly turned cold, "But don't mention that surname in front of me!" ”
She clearly disliked her status as "Mrs. Gaunt".
Scott raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems that there are still some untold stories in it.
"Yes, Medea."
He changed his name from the same as good, without trying to provoke the other party.
"What's your name? Child. Medea asked.
"Scott."
Scott replied by his name and asked directly, "Do you want me to make a deal with you like Milton, Medea?" ”
"It's up to you, Scott." Medea said reservedly, "It's because you have what you want to have that you hear my music." ”
"Yes, but how did I not know? I feel like I'm happy with where I am. Scott laughs.
Medea's voice came again, "That's because you're still confused. You go until you figure out what you really want, and then come back to me when the time comes. ”
I kind of understand.
Scott sighed.
Medea obviously knew that it wasn't the buying and selling that was in the hurry.
As the one in control of the oath, she needs to create a sense of mystery about her superiority.
Scott smiled noncommittally and left disobediently.
He spoke again, "May I ask you a few questions?" Medea. ”
Medea was silent for a moment before replying, "It depends on what your problem is, and as a Ravenclaw, you should know very well that knowledge is precious. So I will never give you knowledge for free. ”
Scott suddenly felt that the other party was very good at the problem.
Ravenclaw is indeed prone to madness in the pursuit of knowledge.
He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Why did Ravenclaw sign the oath with you on behalf of Hogwarts?" ”
This time, Medea was silent for a little longer.
But she did speak anyway.
"This question can be free." "This is my request and she can't refuse," she said. It was compensation for me and my father by the other three founders. ”
Scott asked, "What do they owe you?" ”
Medea responded crisply, "Because of them, my father had to go away!" Because of them, I lost my father's protection! ”
Scott was even more curious, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are they really at odds over whether to recruit Muggle-born wizards?" ”
"You can say that, but it's not entirely true."
Medea didn't seem to want to hide these things.
"My father didn't want to recruit Muggle-born wizards to Hogwarts."
Her words came to Scott's ears clearly.
"It did cause him to have a split with the other three founders, and he even had a big fight with Gryffindor, which is true......"
Scott guessed that there should still be a "but".
“…… However, his father did not look down on Muggle-born wizards. He just doesn't trust them because their faith is hard to reverse. ”
This is similar to what Scott had guessed.
The four founders are like-minded friends.
If Slytherin, like Voldemort, had been discriminating in a narrow lineage, they wouldn't have gotten together in the first place.
Moreover, from the perspective of the background of the times at that time, Slytherin's ideas were not completely unreasonable.
On the other hand, judging by Medea's answers, this Miss Slytherin is not ignorant of the outside world.
Instead, she should have a clear idea of the problems facing the wizarding world today.
Judging by the time the oath has been running, she should have only been awake for a long time.
Scott was curious about her sources.
Medea added, "My father's departure is not entirely a negative exodus, Hogwarts is also his heart's work, and he will do everything to protect this school!" ”
"You mean......" said Scott, "Slytherin left to protect Hogwarts in the shadows?" ”
"Of course!"
Medea said proudly.
"In that era, except for the Holy See, the common enemy of wizards, not all wizards were willing to see the establishment of magic schools!"
"I see."
Scott replied casually.
He didn't fully believe Medea's words.
Of course, he wouldn't question her directly.
However, Medea seemed to be willing to answer the question, so he continued, "Medea, do you know where Peeves has gone?" ”
"Peeves?" Medea said coldly, "When the oath was in operation, he was bound as one of the fulcrums that supported it. ”
So that's it......
Scott smacked.
Peek is miserable!
Then he asked, "You are not a ghost, how did you come from that time to the present?" ”
Medea laughed.
Her laughter flickered and flickered, and it seemed a little weird.
"That's ......," she stopped, "it's not free. ”
"And at what cost do I have to get an answer?" Scott asked curiously.
Medea smiled again, "It's very simple, you need to trade with me with a fifth of your magic. ”
"A fifth?" Scott raised his eyebrows again, "Will the magic return after the trade?" ”
"Of course not!" Medea said coldly, "Your magic will permanently lose one-fifth of your total amount." ”
"Then forget it."
Scott immediately dismissed the thought.
He chose to ask the next question, "What happened between you and Ms. Gray?" ”
"You've got enough questions!"
Medea suddenly said unhappily.
"All I can tell you is that she's not Lady Gray at all, she's Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw!"
“……”
The two ladies reveal each other's identities to Scott as a little coke.
He feigned shock, "What? Ms. Gray is actually the daughter of Ravenclaw! ”
Unfortunately, his performance did not receive a response.
Then he said several more words, but Medea said no more.
Scott pursed his lips helplessly and turned to leave.
He probably won't have the opportunity to buy it for nothing.
Aside from the few questions he asked, Medea's music helped him a lot, which made him a little pity.
Scott didn't know what Medea's music was by which he temporarily called it musical magic.
At this moment, he thought irrepressibly in his heart......
If only I could get my hands on the musical magic that is incredibly powerful in the auxiliaries.
Plus......
If Milton could regain his musical talent, he would be well suited to learn this strange magic.
