226. The first trial of the door key

The day before the year-end exam results were announced, Hogwarts Castle was filled with joy and tension.

Students are looking forward to the upcoming summer vacation and are afraid of the upcoming exam results.

In the common room of Ravenclaw, Scott crossed his legs on a wooden horse, holding a book describing humanoid magical creatures and flipping through them.

On the side, Roger and Milton were playing wizarding chess.

Eddie was babbling about his test results.

"Oh, spare me, Eddie!" Roger couldn't help but complain, "I haven't seen you really care about your studies. ”

Eddie couldn't help but emphasize, "I was always in the top of my grade in the year-end exams for the first two years!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Scott, Roger, and Milton all stopped what they were doing.

They turned their heads almost at the same time, looking at Eddie in surprise.

"Oh Merlin's beard! What do you mean by that? Eddie yelled angrily.

"Nothing."

The three people who were looking at him shook their heads almost at the same time, turning their heads to read books and play chess.

"Hey!"

Eddie couldn't help but stand up.

"You all know it, why do you have a surprised expression!"

Scott raised his head and thought about it carefully, and replied to him seriously, "Maybe the impression you usually give us is too ingrained?" ”

"What's the impression?" Eddie couldn't help but squint.

"Uh-huh......" Scott pretended to groan.

"Profiteers?" Roger replied.

Milton went on to say, "The gossip king? ”

Scott nodded in agreement.

"Oh! All three of you are assholes! ”

Eddie knew that his three roommates were teasing him, but he was still so angry that he couldn't do it.

"Okay."

Scott closed the book in his hand and set it aside, and stood up.

He patted Eddie on the shoulder perfunctorily.

"It's our fault, we'll try to remember that you are also a good student."

With that, he asked his roommates to help him put the books back on the shelves in the college library and left the common room.

Closing the door to the common room, blocking out Eddie and Roger's fighting, Scott walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

He saw a large flock of crows flying over the Forbidden Forest, and turned and walked briskly down the spiral staircase of the tower.

Passing through the atrium and around the castle, Scott made his way to the edge of the Forbidden Forest through the back garden.

He set up his old place and waited for Rimbaud's arrival.

Rimbaud soon landed from the sky and stopped in front of him.

Rimbaud said happily, "Scott, three days have passed, and I think this thing is ready to use."

As it spoke, it lifted its paw holding the glass bottle.

"Thank you, Rimbaud."

Scott reached for the glass bottle, opened the cap, and reached for the snake necklace.

Then he put away the glass bottle containing the mercury, took out his wand, and used a spell to remove the mercury from his hands and necklace.

He placed the clean necklace in the palm of his hand and looked at it closely.

On the surface, this silver snake necklace doesn't make any changes in sound.

Under the perception of magic power, Scott could only judge that the magic contained in the necklace had become more active.

"Rimbaud."

Scott asked Rimbaud as he rewound the necklace around his wrist.

"How long will it take you to fly back to your territory from here?"

Rimbaud seemed to think for a moment, then replied, "If you fly at full strength alone, it will only take 20 minutes." ”

"That's a long way off."

Scott nodded.

He knew Rimbaud's incredible speed.

After all, Rimbaud is his creation.

"Then you go back first." He instructed the raven, "After 20 minutes, I'll start experimenting with this particular portkey. ”

"No problem!"

Rimbaud excitedly agreed.

It immediately flapped its wings and soared into the sky, quacking a few times.

The Forbidden Forest immediately remembered the responses of the other crows.

At this moment, Rimbaud turned from stillness, like a black shadow passing through the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

The other crows hurriedly flew up and followed Rimbaud.

But their speed is a far cry from Rimbaud's.

Soon, Rimbaud was gone.

Scott stood up, unspelled the spells he had placed around him, and then turned and walked into the Forbidden Forest.

He needs to find a place where no one is using the door key.

After single-handedly contributing to Travers's death, he was able to walk into the forest without worrying about being ambushed by the Yaxley family.

As is the custom of pure-blood families, they will not take a huge risk to attack students near Hogwarts if they cannot redeem them for a clear benefit.

Scott walked on foot, deeper and deeper.

The tall trees of the Forbidden Forest shade the sunlight and the surroundings become darker and darker.

After a few moments, Scott covered an area around him with his magical perception and stopped.

He just needed a place where no one could see him, no need to go too deep.

Pulling out his pocket watch and looking at the time, as soon as 20 minutes passed, Scott immediately entered his magic into the snake necklace wrapped around his wrist.

For a moment, Scott felt the world spin around, and the vague scenery quickly faded away.

He felt as if a hook had caught him in the navel, pulling him over a long distance in a very short time.

This is a hundred times more exciting than roller coasters and bungee jumping!

Scott thought bitterly.

However, before he could come to his senses, he was thrown to the ground and lay on his stomach in a thick pile of rotten leaves.

Scott only felt weak and unable to exert his strength.

"You're really here, Scott!"

Rimbaud's excited voice came from above him.

"Are you okay?"

Scott slowly got up and threw up a few times.

He took out his wand and cleaned his robe with a spell before he began to observe his surroundings.

"Rimbaud ......"

He looked up at the top of his head, his eyes widening in surprise for a moment.

It's a huge oak tree.

More majestic than any oak tree Scott had ever seen.

But that's not what surprised Scott.

What really surprised him was the crow perched on a branch.

Too much.

Countless blackened crows crowded next to each other and covered all the branches of the tree.

Countless pairs of glasses looked down at Scott, making his scalp tingle for a moment.

"Are you alright, Scott?"

Standing on the branch closest to Scott, Rimbaud, whose feathers stood off against the other crows, tilted his head.

"I'm fine."

Scott came to his senses.

"Is this your territory?"

He spun around.

He found that there were tall oak trees all around, and although they were not as majestic as the one he had seen at first, they were still very impressive.

And these oak trees are full of dense nests.
