As it turns out, there is a reason why Lupin can be good friends with Black and Harry's father, and this middle-aged man who seems to be calm is also mischievous.

At the end of October, when everything was on track, during a third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Lupin guided Neville verbally like the "original", and Neville caused Boggart's Snape to change into his grandmother's outfit.

The incident quickly became a joke that swept the whole school.

According to the students who were there at the time, "Snape" was wearing a long, lace-embroidered gown, a tall hat with an old carved specimen that had been moth-eaten on the top of the hat, and a large scarlet handbag dangling in his hand.

It is said that the students who were in the next classroom at the time heard Blake's laughter.

In addition to causing Snape to dislike Lupin and Blake even more, it also made Neville even more upset in Potions class.

Scott rarely went to the greenhouse outside the castle outside the castle during his time outside of his herb class, and happened to run into Neville who was hiding alone in the greenhouse to wipe his tears.

"Hey, are you alright, Neville?"

Scott looked at the little fat man crouching in front of the flower pot.

"Oh, I...... I'm fine. Neville hurriedly stood up, his round face flushed, "You...... Hello, Scott. ”

Scott walked up to Neville, "I need some yarrow, of course, I've already talked to Professor Sprout." ”

Neville hurriedly wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, "I know where the yarrow is, I'll take you there." ”

"Wait." Scott pulled a note out of his pocket and handed it to him, "This is Professor Sprout's signature, she said you're here to help take care of the bubble pods, maybe you'd be willing to help me pick some yarrow?" ”

Neville took the note and said, "Of course, I'd love to help." ”

"Thank you, Neville." Scott laughs, "Professor Sprout is full of praise for you, and she admires your grades in the herbology class." ”

Neville blushed again, and he whispered, "No...... Nothing, I just love taking care of these plants. ”

He led Scott through a row of trellises planted with fangs and geraniums to the other side of the greenhouse.

Scott added, "That's what you're good at, and that's what makes you better than anyone else, like me, I'm not good at working with plants." ”

"But you're all great." Neville said embarrassedly.

"Not really." Scott said, "I'm not very good at herbs and potions, and the history of astronomy and magic is average, and that's what makes everyone different. ”

"Thank you." Neville glanced back at Scott, "I know you're encouraging me. ”

Scott smiled again, "I said a long time ago, you should be confident, and you're in a much better place now, aren't you?" ”

"Yes." Neville nodded, then hesitated, "But Professor Snape...... Oh, my performance in Potions class today was like a disaster. ”

"Yes, Professor Snape, there are a lot of people who are afraid of him."

Scott said.

"Including my roommate Milton, as long as Professor Snape stares at him, his head goes blank and his hand moves wrong."

Neville nodded sympathetically.

"But let me say, you don't need to be afraid of him."

Scott said in a relaxed tone.

"Seriously, he doesn't really hurt the anti-students, it's just some verbal ...... Well...... Sarcastic words......"

Scott imparts his experience to Neville.

"In the face of those words, as long as you are thick-skinned, just treat it as if you didn't hear it!"

Neville paused, looking back at him in surprise.

Scott patted him on the shoulder and looked back at him with encouraging eyes.

Neville opened his mouth, and finally said with some vicissitudes, "Thank you, I think I'll try." ”

He took a few steps forward and stopped in front of a flower bed with a small patch of yarrow.

"This is it."

He crouched down and began to help Scott pick yarrow as he began to chatter.

"Yarrow can detoxify and reduce swelling, stop bleeding and relieve pain, and it is said that American Indians use yarrow root decoction to strengthen muscles."

"Wearing it avoids evil, and drinking yarrow tea before divination can improve perception. In some legends, yarrow is considered one of the demon's favorite plants, also known as the demon nettle. ”

"You're really good at that, Neville."

Scott watched his swift movements.

"I just wanted to try if yarrow tea can really improve perception during divination, of course, arithmetic divination."

"Yarrow tea?" Neville glanced up at him, "That would require fresh yarrow to make tea, and if you believe me, I can make it for you." ”

Scott immediately smiled, "Thanks, then please." ”

So, after agreeing a date with Neville to make yarrow, Scott happily left the greenhouse.

Using yarrow tea to improve perception in arithmetic divination was the advice given to Scott by the Ravenclaw instructor.

Ravenclaw thinks that modern wizards may have pursued simplicity to the point of losing some of their necessary rituals in some things.

Ravenclaw said to him, "Some rituals are useful, of course, some are not useful, but in any case, a sense of ritual can get us into a better state." ”

So Scott followed his mentor's advice and approached Professor Sprout for some yarrow.

Professor Sprout was surprised by Scott's sudden private visit.

Scott's grades in herbalism were mediocre, and he was not very interested in it because of his lack of interest. As a result, he and Sprout are not too familiar.

Still, the amiable witch did not refuse Scott's request.

Throughout October, Scott was as busy as September, but fortunately he was almost able to adapt to the limit.

Habit is a terrible thing.

As time went on, after two days of intense use of his head over the weekend, Scott's spirits didn't fall as hard as he did at the beginning.

October 31, 1993, was another Sunday.

Since it was Halloween Eve, Scott was able to leave the Room early to attend the Halloween dinner.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts was once again decorated on this day.

Of course, there is nothing new in all this, it is still a huge pumpkin, a black candle, a flying bat, and a spilled candy.

But Scott didn't care about that, he was looking forward to the evening's hearty meals.

When Scott walked over to the long table, all three of his roommates turned their heads to stare at him.

"Oh, elusive Scott, mysterious Scott." Eddie said in a weird voice, "Where have you been again?" Wake up early in the morning to find you're gone! ”

"Self-study." Scott shook the notebook in his hand.

"Self-study!" Roger glared, "Listen, this guy apparently forgot, today is our first Hogsmeade Village weekend of the year!" ”

"It's also Roger's 5-month anniversary of staying single!" Eddie exclaimed.

Scott ignored the two guys.

He sat down and just looked at Milton and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really forgot, how was it today, your meeting with Mr. Grevis?" ”

"It's fine." Milton smiled, "It's better than I thought." ”

"How?" Scott asked curiously.

"My dad...... I don't know if he's sober up a little bit, or if he's more confused. Milton's expression was a little strange, "He told me not to go home." ”

Eddie interjected softly, "I think Mr. Graves is definitely more confused. ”

Roger covered his mouth directly.

Scott glanced at the two of them and asked Milton, "What do you think of it yourself?" ”

"That's good, isn't it?" Milton smiled a somewhat reluctantly, "At least...... My request was granted, and my dad would help me withstand the pressure from my grandfather. ”

But...... Directly let the minor son not have to go home, is this what a normal father should say?

Scott and Roger looked at each other, both of them having the same meaning in their eyes.

Eddie, who broke free from Roger's grasp, asked Milton, "Didn't your grandfather contact you before that?" ”

Milton shook his head, "Grandfather didn't care about me, or rather, he only cared about the surname Grevis, not about a specific person. ”

"So do you have a plan for your future?" Scott asked again with concern.

"Before I graduated, my dad would pay for my tuition and living expenses, and I would stay in the apartment left by my mom during the holidays, and they didn't know about the place except my dad and grandfather."

Milton said.

"Post-Graduation ......"

He thought for a moment, smiled and said, "I think I'll try to get to the London Philharmonic." ”

"But your musical talent ......," Eddie said as quickly as he could, and Roger reached out to cover his mouth.

"It doesn't matter, at least my playing skills don't regress when I keep practicing."

Milton smiled and told Roger to let go of Eddie.

In a relaxed tone, he said: "If I don't get into the Philharmonic Orchestra, I have to go to other orchestras, and I think I will always find my place." ”

"Of course, your original skills are already very strong, even the Philharmonic Orchestra can be admitted."

Eddie hurriedly comforted him a few words, and said with some confusion: "But ......"

He hurriedly picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and took a sip.

"Are you going to leave the wizarding world to live in the Muggle world after graduation? I mean...... Obviously, you were still training hard before, why didn't you go to the Weird Sisters singing group? ”

"I train to better protect myself in the future, and this is not a conflict." Milton laughed and said, "Have you forgotten, I quit the Weird Sisters last semester, and I'm not a prep member of theirs anymore. ”

"You can apply again, they won't necessarily reject you," Roger said. ”

Milton shook his head, "The members of the Weird Sisters are true geniuses, and I mean musically. ”

What he meant was that he himself was no longer qualified.

"And ......"

Mir tilted his head and said in a wistful tone.

"I had a hunch that one day I would reunite with my mom on a musical occasion. At that time, I will see that she is doing well, and of course, I will also tell her that I am doing well. ”

At this moment, the Halloween candlelight above his head was reflected in his eyes.

"There will be a day."

"Of course."

"Definitely."

Scott, Roger, and Eddie agree with his claim.
