When Scott walked out of the spider's nest, he took out his broomstick again and flew around the nest.

"Aguamanent!"

Whenever a flame crossed the line, he extinguished it with a water-making charm.

It wasn't until he could no longer sense any magic fluctuations from the lair that he repeated the Water Spell several times to extinguish it.

At the same time, he could clearly feel through the contract that his challenge was accomplished.

The result was incredible.

Scott didn't even have the joy of completing the challenge.

There's definitely something wrong with that!

He thought firmly.

But...... What exactly is the purpose of Medea?

He always thought that Medea had done so many things because she wanted him to challenge failure, and he was mentally prepared to challenge failure.

But how did he succeed?

Although there were many sudden obstacles and troublesome battles in the course of the challenge, ......

If Medea doesn't want him to succeed in the challenge, he just needs to have someone catch a little spider and hide it.

Scott didn't believe that she would not have thought of such a simple way to block it!

So, what exactly is her purpose?

Why give such a challenge project?

Why notify Carlo and Yaxley, who are hostile to him?

Why create obstacles without exhausting all your might?

Scott really couldn't figure it out at the moment.

At that moment, he sensed Dumbledore approaching.

He put away his complicated thoughts, fell from the sky to the ground, put away his broomstick, and looked in the direction Dumbledore had come.

It wasn't long before the dark woods lit up, and Dumbledore saw a warm glow through the forest.

Several orange clusters of light floated around him, and Yaxley and Carlo, bound by ropes, also floated behind him.

Scott could see the look on Yaxley's face, his face full of shame, shame and anger at the moment.

And Carlo, probably because she has enjoyed this treatment more than once, seems to be much calmer.

"Professor!" Scott hurriedly walked over, "How are Professor Flitwick and Ms. Gray?" Are they okay? ”

Dumbledore replied unhurriedly: "They were attacked by unknown wizards, I found traces of the portkey used at the scene, Severus has gone to the Ministry of Magic for help." ”

"Professor, who can take Ms. Gray?" Scott has always been curious about this question.

Dumbledore smiled, "You've seen too little magic, Scott. ”

Scott nodded, intrigued by the magic that could reach the ghost.

I don't know if his full-time teacher, the portrait of Ravenclaw, knows such knowledge.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed as he glanced at the eight-eyed spider's nest behind Scott, which had been completely burned down.

He asked, "Looks like you're done with the challenge?" Scott. ”

Scott replied, "I can feel the change in the contract, and I did complete the challenge, Professor." ”

"That's good."

Dumbledore smiled at first, then immediately became a little sad.

"I had a hunch that Hagrid was going to cry, and to be honest, he was crying a lot harder than the eight-eyed spider."

Is that why you've allowed dangerous monsters like the Eight-Eyed Spider to thrive in the Forbidden Forest for so many years?

Scott was tempted to complain directly.

Liar, you bad old man.

At this moment, he felt a look of concern.

Scott turned his head to look at Yaxley, and saw the scorn and disdain in his eyes.

"I overheard the two of them, Professor."

Scott said, pointing at Yaxley.

Carlo had said that it was someone from the Yaxley family who had attacked Professor Flitwick and them, and he was surprised that the man had made a move.

"Nonsense!"

Yaxley immediately glared at Scott viciously.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, pure-blood wizards won't allow you to slander a mudblood......"

"Woo woo woo ......—"

Dumbledore waved his hand, and Jaxley was forced to shut up.

"I see." Dumbledore said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, Philius is not an easy wizard to deal with, and even I am not sure to defeat him. ”

Scott nodded, "yes, hopefully Professor Flitwick and Ms. Gray are okay." ”

.

Of course, he knew that Dumbledore was exaggerating, but since it was to appease, he took it.

"The Yaxley family wants my life, Professor."

Scott has continued to sue.

"I heard them discuss that the Yaxli family had made a deal with Travers in Azkaban."

Yaxley looked at Scott with a look of growing resentment.

"I'll take care of that, Scott."

Dumbledore said in a kind tone.

"As the principal of this school, of course I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Thank you for your help, Professor."

Scott bowed in thanks.

Dumbledore had seized the hands of two more pure-blood wizarding families, and he was not interested in participating in the series of political battles that would ensue.

But......

Some information still had to be told to Dumbledore.

He went on to tell Carlo about his previous connection with Medea, including the ins and outs of their presence here.

He didn't say anything strange about the success of the challenge.

He didn't believe Dumbledore would have thought of it.

Dumbledore, who had listened to Scott's story, only nodded slightly, "Let's go, let's go to Miss Slytherin and have a look." ”

Then he called the phoenix's name.

"Fawkes."

With a pleasant chirp, the big red bird suddenly appeared above everyone's heads out of thin air.

It stretched its gorgeous wings and tail feathers in the air, like a fireball, illuminating its surroundings even brighter.

"Lower, Fawkes."

Dumbledore lowered the phoenix a bit.

"Hold its tail feathers."

He motioned to Scott.

Scott reached out and grabbed the phoenix's feathers, feeling his palms hot and hot.

Dumbledore then held the rope that bound them in one hand and the phoenix's feathers in the other.

"Take us to the rocks under the stone bridge, Fawkes."

As Dumbledore commanded, Scott felt his body enveloped in a fiery magic, and then he arrived at his destination.

There is no sense of shuttle space at all.

Scott hadn't experienced apparition yet, but he had traveled through the fireplace.

In comparison, the feeling of being teleported by the phoenix is too smooth.

"Go ahead."

Dumbledore's voice brought him back to his senses.

"You come and open the entrance." He smiled and said, "I hope you can sing the school song beautifully." ”

“……”

Scott nodded.

He stepped forward and sang the whole school song with a hard head.

As the stone gate appeared, Dumbledore also applauded several times.

"Very good, I haven't heard such a beautiful school song for a long time." He said movingly.

Isn't that a matter of course!

Scott remembered the chorus of school songs at every back-to-school dinner.

You make everyone have a different tune, even the rhythm is different, and if it can be good, there will be a ghost!
