After Hermione and Luna's conversation, Scott and Harry finally cleared up the two things.

Scott wasn't interested in another thing.

Malfoy Sr. was extremely dissatisfied with the previous decision of Headmaster Dumbledore and the school council, so he went straight to the path of litigation.

Apparently, he wanted to influence the outcome of the Wizengamot trial through his connections at the Ministry of Magic, in order to punish Hagrid and the Hippogriff who had injured little Malfoy.

Scott didn't think it was a big deal, and that he could still help Hagrid keep his professorship if Dumbledore wanted to.

As for whether the Hippogriff will be sentenced to death as in the "original book"?

That's not what Scott cares about.

Anyway...... If Harry and the others wanted to save the Hippogriff, they would only need to use the time turner held by Hermione, as in the "original books".

What Scott really cares about is Medea's actions.

He couldn't get any more information about this, but he confirmed one thing from Hagrid - the Thestrals at Hogwarts had indeed been stolen by Medea's men.

Scott was also unable to send Rimbaud and the crows to Edinburgh to find out about Medea.

After all, Rimbaud used to spy on Katie? Shafiq was captured by Medea when she was a child, and she even gave Rimbaud a Confusion Charm to fly back to Hogwarts on its own.

In the cabin, Harry and Ron gave Hagrid a bunch of unplausible-sounding ideas, which Hermione refuted.

Neither Scott nor Luna spoke, just watching the three Gryffindors brawl up like they were watching some interesting show.

Hagrid had been sobbing and wiping tears, his mind so occupied by the Thestrals who seemed to him to be suffering, that he hadn't listened to what Harry was saying.

The midday break passed like this, and the three Gryffindor wizards didn't discuss anything useful.

On the way back, Hermione said to Harry and Ron, "I've decided to look it up, maybe I'll find some old cases in the library for reference, and you should go too!" ”

Harry and Ron immediately grimaced.

"Look at your expressions, oh, you don't want to, do you?" Hermione said angrily, "We can't help with Thestrals, Hagrid doesn't have time to bother with the lawsuit right now, we have to help him!" ”

"Of course, of course I'm willing to help him." Harry said quickly.

Ron also frowned and nodded.

"That's pretty much it!" Hermione snorted, shook her head, and walked briskly to the front.

Harry turned his head to look at Scott and Luna with a bitter face, "Scott, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Scott glanced at him.

This kid, don't be too obvious about your intention to pull people into the water.

Ron also said, "By the way, Scott, even Fred and George have praised you for your cleverness, you must have a way, right?" ”

He looked at Scott with hopeful eyes, as if pinning his hopes of escaping the book on this Ravenclaw.

"Oh, you're so funny!"

Luna watched this scene and suddenly burst out laughing nervously.

Harry and Ron both looked at her in confusion, and even Hermione, who was walking in front, turned her head in surprise.

Luna laughed alone for a few moments before stopping.

Then, in a fluctuating tone, she said to Harry, "Oh, don't worry, Hagrid will be fine." ”

The expressions of the three Gryffindors present were a little indescribable, and it seemed that they all thought that Luna was really a little crazy.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about dealing with lawsuits."

At this point, Scott began to answer Harry and Ron's questions.

When the two heard Scott's words, they showed painful expressions again.

"But I can write to ask William." Scott said again.

"William?" Hermione looked back again, "Who's that?" ”

"William is a Ravenclaw graduate who graduated last school year, he has a lot of interest in the law, his goal is to become a famous barrister, and if he wants to help, Hagrid will have a lot easier," Scott said. ”

"Great!" Harry and Ron immediately smiled.

Scott added: "For the record, I don't know if William would be willing to be Hagrid's defense lawyer, and of course, if he wanted to, he would be paid." ”

"It's okay, I can pay him!" Harry said magnificently.

"Then it's decided." Scott smiled and said goodbye to them, "I'll let you know if there's news." ”

In fact, William had already left the wizarding world and decided to go to Muggle University, and Scott was certainly not sure whether he would be willing to help.

But Scott's purpose in mentioning William was not that, he just wanted to use this incident to keep in touch with the senior.

After all, William was also one of the students who had once accepted Medea's contract deal.

What exactly he traded is not known.

Scott can't say for sure—

He wondered if William had really returned to the Muggle world to go to university, or was it ...... And became a member of Medea?

It's not impossible.

It is very difficult for a wizard to say goodbye to magic and return to Muggle society completely, even if the wizard is from a Muggle family.

When he said goodbye to William, Scott didn't go too far, and even sent his best wishes, wishing him to become London's premier barrister.

But in hindsight, Scott felt that something was wrong.

Perhaps it was because he was treating others for himself, and he always felt that William had left too simply.

Scott himself would never have been able to do that.

In his mind, even if he didn't have such a talent for magic, he would never give up magic.

Just look at Jacob's kid, although that kid is mediocre, he seizes every opportunity to improve himself, even at the risk of his life.

During this period, Scott was in dire need of information about Medea, but there was nothing good to do.

For some reason, he didn't want to contact Medea directly, and he couldn't send the crows to get information, so he had to look for a breakthrough from other sources.

As Hagrid faced a lawsuit, Scott thought about using this opportunity to restore contact with William and see if he could get anything out of it.

Of course, if he guessed wrong, William was really just working hard to get into college, then he had nothing to lose.

After the afternoon class, Scott arrived at the school's owl shack with the letter.

With some food, he hired a sturdy public owl to deliver letters for him.

After the owl flew away, Scott summoned a few more crows and told them to follow the owl.

"Hopefully William didn't use a spell to shield you postmen from searching." Scott said, dividing the rest of the food among the other owls.

When a wizard doesn't want to be found, there are ways to block all contact with the outside world, including the owls who send letters.

Looking up to see the crow disappear into the sky, Scott turned away from the owl shack and went to the Transfiguration Club for the evening as usual.

The members of the club are all students with strong Transfiguration talents, which causes the members to generally learn faster than in their usual Transfiguration classes.

For example, Scott and his group of fifth-graders have begun to formally expose themselves to some of the content of human deformation in the Transfiguration Club.

Human deformation is an important branch of metamorphosis and, of course, the most dangerous.

The ultimate magic of this branch is the Animagus, which can be completely transformed into an animal.

Normally, knowledge of human deformation is not included in the content of the general wizard level exam.

In other words, in general, only students in the sixth grade who choose to continue their studies in Transfiguration will be exposed to human deformation.

However, in the club, Professor McGonagall had tacitly assumed that the fifth-year club members were students who would choose to continue their Transfiguration studies in the sixth year.

Therefore, she intends to explain to them some of the knowledge of human body deformation from this school year.

Scott also chose to start learning the knowledge of human transformation in the first school year in preparation for the completion of the extremely difficult magic of Animagus.

He expects to spend a year preparing and trying to complete the transformation in his sixth year.

Professor McGonagall appreciated his cautious approach.

"Human transfiguration is extremely dangerous magic!"

She stressed to the students more than once.

"If you don't want to end yourself up in the hospital, remember to try it under my supervision, even if you're just going to make one of your ears bigger!"

As a cautious guy by nature, Scott certainly took her warnings to heart and never risked his life.

But not necessarily for others.

For example, Angelina, the Gryffindor chaser and Fred's crush, was hospitalized after an accident during a private attempt to make her palm bigger.

"Maybe I have bigger hands, maybe I can catch the Quaffle better in the game." Angelina said afterwards.

In this regard, Scott just wants to say that Quidditch is not a shallow harm.

Scott received a reply from William the next morning.

In the letter, William said that although he is now in a middle school preparing for college, he is still willing to participate in what Scott described as Hagrid's defense lawyer.

［…… I didn't expect to receive such a letter.

But I must admit that I was a little emotional when I read the letter.

In the Muggle world, I wasn't good enough to get a bar certificate, but in the wizarding world, I was a graduate of Ravenclaw House!

I thought it would be a meaningful experience, and perhaps a successful defense would be more of a farewell to the wizarding world, at least cooler than a graduation dinner.

Anyway, thank you, Scott...... ］

Scott stood up and walked over to the Gryffindor table and showed the letter to Harry.

"Oh! He agreed! "Harry was delighted.

"He's going to meet you at the Three Broomsticks Bar this Saturday?" Hermione, who had quickly read the letter, looked up and said to Scott, "But our Hogsmeade village has been canceled!" ”

"Leave the matter of meeting and talking with the lawyer to the client Hagrid." Scott said to Hermione, "I'm just in charge of getting the word across." ”

He winked at Harry as he spoke.

Scott would of course choose to slip out, and it was an opportunity to get an up-close look at William.

Merely...... Before sneaking out at least he had to make sure it was safe.

Harry immediately understood.

"yes, let's get the good news to Hagrid soon!" He said to Hermione with a smile.
