246. The first date

The next day, Scott called Davis's house after dinner.

"Hello."

After the phone was connected, there was a female voice on the other side.

"Hello, Mrs. Davis, I'm Scott, Roger's classmate." Scott said into the phone.

Soon there was a big voice on the other end of the line, Mrs. Davis called out to Eddie, "Roger! Your classmate called, and it's a boy named Scott! ”

"I'm coming, Mom!"

Roger's response was also loud, and Scott on the other end of the phone could hear it clearly.

"Scott?" Roger quickly picked up the phone, "I just got up. ”

"Good morning, Roger." Scott said, "I think your family should have a subscription to the Daily Prophet?" ”

"Yes, I was reading today's paper!" Roger said.

"Is there any news in the newspaper about Peter Pettigrew?" Scott asked directly.

Roger smiled, "Haha, I knew this was what you wanted to ask!" ”

"Looks like so." Scott laughed too.

"That's right! Because of Peter Pettigrew's appearance, the Ministry of Magic has announced that it is retrying the case of a Death Eater named Black! Roger recounted the newspaper news, "The incident that is said to have been committed by Blake is actually in question. ”

"Is it going to be retried?" Scott knew what to expect.

It seems that Dumbledore has already started to exert his strength.

"Looks like you're paying attention to this incident." Roger quipped.

"That's true, after all, Peter Pettigrew's Animagus is what I see through." "If there's any follow-up news on the retrial, please call this number and let me know," Scott said. ”

"No problem." Roger readily agreed.

He continued with great interest: "This incident is already the most sensational news in the British wizarding world. ”

"When Blake was thrown into Azkaban without a trial, was it Barty, then the director of the Law Enforcement Division? Crouch dominates, and he is Fudge's political enemy. ”

Next, he lowered his voice.

"My dad said that because Crouch's son was a Death Eater, he lost the race as minister and is now the director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation."

Scott answered, "Fudge is likely to use the Black affair to further undermine Crouch's popularity." ”

"That's it." Roger said, "Still, if Blake was really wronged, Fudge did a good thing, didn't he?" ”

Scott agreed.

But at the same time, he also knew that Fudge would not take the initiative to do this, in fact, there must be a reason for Dumbledore's efforts to make it happen.

Scott then asked about Milton, and the two chatted about their early summer lives.

After ending the call, Scott was relieved.

He chose to debunk Pettigrew, but also wanted to sabotage the development of the "original".

He didn't want to face those Dementors for the rest of the school year.

There is an element of coincidence in the "original" Pettigrew's escape, mainly because Lupin actually forgot to drink the wolf poison potion and suddenly transformed into a werewolf, which led to the Pettigrew's opportunity.

With Dumbledore and Snape staring at each other this time, there shouldn't be such a mistake.

"Scott."

At this moment, Emilia walked over.

"What's wrong?" Scott looked back.

"Oh...... It's okay. ”

Emilia glanced at the phone in front of Scott, endured it, and couldn't help asking, "What were you giving to that girl just now...... Does Benita call? ”

Scott shook his head, "I was calling Roger just now to ask about the UK. ”

"And when are you going to call Benita?" Emilia blurted out, "Honey, you're a boy, you should be proactive." ”

"I see, I'm about to fight, Mom." Scott replied helplessly.

"Very well, then I won't bother you!" With a relieved smile on her face, Emilia turned and walked away.

Scott smiled and dialed Benita's phone number.

The phone was connected, and Benita's voice came, "Hello, this is Benita." ”

"Hello, Benita." Scott said.

"I knew it was you, Scott." Benita laughs and says, "I've been waiting for your call!" ”

On the phone, Scott and Benita made an appointment to meet.

Just as Scott is about to call for a taxi out, the elusive Emilia reappears.

"No need to call a car, my dear, I have already arranged a car and a driver for you, sent by your uncle."

She held a bouquet of bright red roses and handed it to Scott.

"Remember to bring roses and give them to Benita when we meet."

“……”

Scott reluctantly took the rose and took the car sponsored by Uncle Caleb to Hernandez's house to pick up Benita.

The girl wore a long red dress today, but the makeup on her face was much lighter than the night before.

She casually pinned her long blond hair behind her and smiled generously at Scott, "How do I look?" ”

"It's beautiful." Scott complimented and handed her the bouquet of roses, "Your dress is more beautiful than roses." ”

Benita looked surprised and held the bouquet in both hands.

"Thank you." She took the initiative to lean in and kiss Scott's face, "You look handsome today, too." ”

Scott smiled and pulled her into the back seat of the car.

Since Scott was completely unfamiliar with Madrid, he asked Benita to choose a date location.

The girl didn't squirm either, and quickly made up her mind.

They drove to a restaurant that Benita liked and tasted the Spanish specialties she recommended.

Paella, Madrid stew, tapas, tomato gazpacho......

Benita knew all about these Spanish dishes, and she gave Scott a detailed account of their origins and practices, which made him interested in them.

The chef's dishes were certainly better than Aunt Flora's, and Scott ate them to the fullest.

Although the house-elves at Hogwarts are very skilled, Scott has eaten English food for more than ten years, and now he feels very fresh when he changes his taste.

Due to the hot weather, the two did not walk the street after lunch, but took another car to El Capricio Park, located in the northeast of Madrid.

Created by the Duchess of Alameda, El Capricio Park was built in the 18th century and is a collection of French, English and Italian styles.

The park as a whole is like a labyrinth, mysterious and romantic.

Of course, that's what Benita introduces to Scott.

Scott just thinks the park is a lot cooler than the streets of Salamanca.

Benita is clearly familiar with the park's architecture and artwork, and has been enthusiastically explaining to Scott.

Scott listened with a smile and discussed it with her from time to time.

"Hey! Scott! ”

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting his name, and Scott turned his head to look.

When he saw his cousin Ramiro, his mood was a little delicate.
