Neville's head was lifted from the bottom of his head, and it was the first time he had looked directly at Scott since they met.

Scott looked Neville in the eye.

He saw the boy's tearful eyes full of determination.

Perception opens automatically.

At this moment, Scott clearly saw the "color" of Neville's magic.

This is......

Scott's heart was a little shocked.

"Probably everyone misjudged you, Neville." He couldn't help but say, "You're stronger than most people." ”

"I ......"

Neville's expression was a little silly when he heard this.

"Everybody said I was too timid."

He bowed his head in shame.

"Even my grandmother was upset with me......"

"Let's not talk about that." Scott shook his head.

He decided to put the matter aside for now.

"Do you have pictures of your parents?" He asked, "If there is a concrete image, arithmetic divination will be easier." ”

"Yes!"

Neville fumbled in the pockets of his robes for a moment, then carefully pulled out a small tin box that was meant to hold candy.

"In it."

He opened the small tin box and took out a photo from it and handed it to Scott.

He said, "This is what I secretly brought out of the house, and my grandmother will not allow me to bring this." ”

Scott reached for the photo and looked at it.

This is a photograph of the Longbottoms when they were younger, and the two of them are enthusiastically waving to the people outside the photo.

"Oh, you look a lot like your mother." Scott said.

"That's what everyone in the family says."

Neville couldn't help but smile slightly.

Skod nodded, "Very well, the known conditions are all said, so let's get started." ”

He took the quill and began to quickly scribble lines and lines on the paper, enumerating all the known conditions in as much detail as possible.

"That's right." He asked another question, "Do you know the name of the murderer, Neville?" ”

"Yes......"

Neville's voice changed slightly.

"Bellatrix? Lestrange. ”

At this moment, Scott heard hatred in the voice he pronounced the name.

"Is it Bellatrix? Lestrange's Diamond Heart Charm. ”

Neville repeated.

Scott nodded slightly and wrote down the name.

When all the known conditions were written, Scott converted them into numbers before taking out his wand and waving it.

"The law of arithmetic!"

"The numbers are revealed!"

Two spells were cast, and the numbers on the parchment began to flutter.

Scott closed his eyes.

He had in mind the image of the Longbottoms, who were searching for their son's place to see if they could be cured.

As time passed, Scott's image of the couple in his mind was changing from the grace in the photo.

Their expressions became demented, wrinkles crawled on their faces, and their hair turned gray.

That's what they look like now.

Countless jumble numbers rolled through Scott's mind, seemingly beginning to piece together their future.

It took a long time until Scott felt his body collapse a little again that he finally opened his eyes.

He noticed Neville staring at him, but he was biting his lip tightly.

Scott glanced down at the top of the parchment, and the final figure of the arithmetic divination was[1].

“［1］？” In a reassuring tone, he said, "You can relax, it's not too bad." ”

"Please...... Please let me know! ”

Neville exclaimed, with some excitement.

Scott reached out his finger to touch the number and closed his eyes again.

This time in arithmetic divination, he came to only one conclusion.

That's ......

He opened his eyes and looked at Neville, "Neville, the results of this arithmetic divination show ...... Whether or not your parents are healed is up to you. ”

"Me?"

Neville's eyes widened in amazement.

"Yes."

Scott nodded affirmatively.

At first, he also thought the result was a bit incredible.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this was the right answer.

Who else but Neville's son would be determined to find a cure for the Longbottoms?

After all, Neville's grandmother was old, probably weak.

And Neville is still young, and he has endless possibilities.

Whether or not the Longbottoms can recover depends on Neville's success in finding the right approach.

In Scott's mind, this arithmetic divination was a failure.

Because I can think of such a result.

But he can't say that.

And it's also an opportunity.

Combined with what he had just perceived, maybe Neville would be able to use this to change his appearance.

Thinking of this, he sensed Neville's magic again, and made a decision in his heart.

"Listen to me."

He said to Neville, who was overwhelmed.

"The results of arithmetic divination tell me if anyone can cure your parents......"

With that, he looked Neville straight in the eye.

"That person can only be you."

"I ......"

Neville shook his head bitterly.

"No, I'm ...... I'm not good at studying either......" he whispered, "Everyone knows I'm pretty much a squib......"

He babbled and kept denying himself.

From the difficult awakening of magic when I was a child, to the difficulties encountered in my study and life......

"Stop."

Scott made a stop gesture.

Neville sneered.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, a loud noise came from outside the classroom door.

"Are you bullying Neville?"

Scott heard Hermione's shrill voice.

"You locked him up in the classroom?" Her voice was full of rage, "I can't believe you're going to do this!" ”

"Of course not!" Fred was shouting, "We're helping him!" ”

Hermione yelled, "Get out of the way! Neville and Ron are different, you can't bully Ron like you bully Ron! ”

"Hey!"

Ron's disgruntled voice followed.

Hearing this, Scott couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

"Come in."

He raised his voice and said.

In the next second, the door to the classroom came.

"Neville! You okay! ”

Hermione took the lead and rushed in with a fierce momentum.

"Scott?"

The moment she saw Scott, she was a little stunned.

"Hello."

Scott smiled at her and the two boys behind her.

"Hermione! Harry! Ron! Neville quickly stood up, "I'm fine!" You...... You're mistaken. ”

"Excuse me, what are you guys doing?"

Hermione walked over.

Neville said, "I asked Scott to help me with arithmetic divination......"

"Arithmetic divination?"

Hermione's eyes lit up.

"You're doing arithmetic divination?"

She looked at Scott with interest, some envy in her eyes.

"I've heard it all, Scott, you found the Ravenclaw crown with arithmetic divination, congratulations! Oh yes, I'm going to take this course next school year. ”

She stepped closer.

"Can I take a look?"

However, before she could read the words on the parchment on the table, Scott quickly turned the parchment over the side.

"I'm sorry, Hermione."

Scott shook his head.

"It's privacy that belongs to Neville, and if you want to see it, you have to get his consent."
