"I can't believe that Millicent missed the start of this year's school year."

"Why, don't you know? Something happened to the Birds. ”

"Something happened again? Or is it because of the Travers family's inheritance? ”

"That's right, Millicent's father was attacked and is now lying in St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital, I don't know if he can be saved."

"My dad said that the attack was either done by Yaxley or by Forlì."

In the morning, Scott sat at the long table in the auditorium and ate his breakfast slowly, listening to whispered discussions from several Slytherin third-graders.

Scott woke up early.

Before the other students arrived, he had a listening bat hang upside down under the Slytherin table.

Participating in the discussion at this time were Malfoy and his two big henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle, as well as his admirer Parkinson.

What they discussed about their classmate Millison? Birdside.

Scott remembers it as a menacing, tall, strong girl with a somewhat dominatrix appearance.

It doesn't matter what the girl looks like, what matters is that her surname is Birdside.

Yaxley, Birdsted, and Foley, three pure-blood families vying for the Traverse family's succession.

A summer vacation has passed, and now the relationship between the three families is like fire and water.

The competition between them is becoming more and more fierce, and the competition over inheritance seems to be gradually turning into a war, quietly pushed by some small promoters.

In particular, Yaxley, who had long been unable to participate in the inheritance battle, had already decided that Persted and Forley had done those "shameless and vicious things".

Not only did Yaxley lose his chance to compete, but he also lost a "good young wizard", and now their goal has shifted to revenge on the two families.

Of course, Birdsd and Forlì have also been thoroughly by Yaxley, who acts like a mad dog.

The war has further escalated, and the three families have recently begun to directly ambush and attack each other's family members.

Malfoy what they call Millison? Bird's father is the head of Bird's family.

Even the head of the Bossed family is lying in the hospital and his life is uncertain, which shows that things are gradually getting out of control.

These things have developed beyond Scott's expectations, and Scott has not done much in them, except for the beginning that led to the beginning of this competition.

After all, he could only remotely direct Rimbaud and the crows on the phone in Spain for most of the summer vacation, and there was only a limit to what he could do.

But Scott had no doubt that the Ministry of Magic and other pure-blood families had done something to fan the flames.

For example, little Malfoy, who is now talking over there, his father Malfoy Sr. is a cunning guy, and the Malfoy family has always been good at fishing in troubled waters.

During this time, the crows lurking around the Ministry of Magic often saw Malfoy Sr. entering and exiting the office of the Minister of Magic, Fudge.

It is conceivable that the shrewd Malfoy must have contributed to this matter.

Of course, the three families of Yaxley, Persted, and Foley were not stupid enough to do that.

Because Scott, the territory of the Birdsd and Foley families, was not aware of the reaction of the two families.

But at least he knew the reaction of the Yaxley family.

There are now people within the Yaxley family who suspect that the Ministry of Magic is secretly playing tricks in this matter.

Especially old Yaxley, who almost gave Scott a life-requiring charm, was a shrewd old fellow.

But some things don't stop when you notice something is wrong.

At the very least, the head of the Yaxley family, who had lost a good son, wanted to take revenge on Birdside and Forlì in a frenzy.

In short, the current situation is that the three families should have noticed something unusual, but at the same time, they are also a little difficult to ride the tiger and can't stop it.

The direction of things is becoming more and more confusing.

"My dad said maybe Travers's legacy would be taken back by the Ministry of Magic." Scott heard Malfoy Jr. say in a playful tone, "After all, there is no real Traverse in the world for a long time." ”

Two of his henchmen and admirers affirmed his claims.

Parkinson also praised little Malfoy's insight and foresight in an overly sweet voice.

Scott listened a little tiredly.

"Good morning!"

"Mr. Ravenclaw!"

Two overly lively and cheerful voices broke Scott's thoughts.

Fred and George began to greet each other loudly from the door of the auditorium.

They ran merrily into the Great Hall, sat down on either side of Scott without seeing it, picked up the food on the Ravenclaw long table, and ate it.

"Dear Mr. Prefect."

"Why didn't you wear your glittering badge?"

The two chewed something in their mouths and continued to tease Scott.

"Who's this?" Not to be outdone, Scott said, "Oh, it's two Monopoly men here, good morning, Mr. Weasleys." ”

Fred blinked, quickly grasping what Scott meant, "You mean my dad won the lottery?" ”

"Unfortunately, we're still poor." George shrugged, "Because the prize money has been spent, and our family went to Egypt during the summer vacation." ”

"Egypt? Did you follow Bill on an adventure in the pyramids? Scott immediately asked curiously.

Scott and Bill discuss their respective ideas for combining Transfiguration with Magic's own spell through several letters, and Bill's suggestion gives Scott a lot of inspiration.

As a Gringotts spell solver, Bill often ventures into the pyramids to unearth ancient magical objects, and their correspondence is infrequent.

"We really want to go."

"But no one but us was against the decision, including Bill."

The twins said with great regret.

George pulled out a crumpled letter from his pocket, "This is your letter, Bill asked me to give it to you." ”

"Thank you." Scott reached out and took it.

"Bill said he was very optimistic about your ideas and research, and he was surprised by your progress." "It's some of his new discoveries," Fred said. ”

"From inside the pyramid, of course." George said mysteriously.

Scott squeezed the overly thick letter in his hand and laughed.

It seems that Bill's new discovery might surprise him?

Fred said to Scott, "Mom was surprised when she heard that you could talk to Bill about magic, and she thought you were better than she ever thought you could be!" ”

"Mom asked us to learn from you." George pouted, "She thinks we got too little out of our test scores last school year. ”

"After listening to her, we decided to seriously consider whether or not to continue to be friends with you!"

"Goodbye!"

The two of them snatched the bread from Scott's front as they spoke, got up and ran away.
