With Christmas just around the corner, Hogwarts Castle is getting a festive mood, and students are generally happy as the holidays approach.

Hermione is probably a typical exception.

Within a few days, Scott met her several times, each time seeing her with a calm face, and not even staying with Harry and Ron during meals.

Scott knew that it was his own advice to rescue Buckbeak that made the "McGrid" who liked to emphasize discipline very tangled and annoyed.

Of course, the two boys, Harry and Ron, didn't seem very happy.

It seems they still haven't been able to get Hermione to relent.

Unexpectedly, Hermione took the initiative to find Scott at noon one day.

She looked unkind and asked directly, "Do you think I should do that?" ”

At this time, Scott had just come out of the arithmetic and divination classroom, and the surrounding classmates looked at Hermione curiously.

"Follow me."

Scott didn't answer Hermione's question, but motioned for her to follow him, and the two of them left the hallway outside the arithmetic and divination classroom and came to a no-man's land.

He ignored the curious gazes of the others, but Hermione took the initiative to find him.

Scott didn't care about Hermione's discomfort, but asked her directly, "Are you seeking my advice?" ”

Hermione raised her eyes and glared at him, "Harry and Ron, those two idiots have no idea the seriousness of the matter, they think I'm a cold-blooded person, and it's all because of your advice. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes were red with grievance, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover up.

Looks like maybe Ron's stupid boy said something unpleasant.

Scott skipped her complaint and asked her again, "So have you figured out what to do?" ”

"I don't know." Hermione was visibly embarrassed, "Of course Buckbeak is innocent, and I don't want it to die, but ......"

She raised her head and glared again, "Am I going to live up to Professor McGonagall's trust, or even break the school rules and the law?" ”

"I'm sorry." Scott smiled slightly, "Even then, I can't help you make a decision. ”

Hermione frowned, "Oh, of course you can't help me make a decision, but you're in big trouble for me!" ”

"I'm sorry." Scott said insincerely.

Hermione apparently sensed Scott's lack of sincerity and became even more angry.

"It's all because you ......"

Maybe she was too angry, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, you don't know how to choose? The question is actually quite simple. Scott said.

Hermione said with some sarcasm; "Then please teach me, Mr. Trollope."

"It's a matter of either/or." Scott also felt that he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, but he still said, "It depends on whether you want to obey the law more or save Buckbeak's life." ”

It's probably the same as not saying it.

Hermione immediately rolled her eyes, still looking at him with a mocking face.

"You've already made up your mind, haven't you?" Scott ignored her expression, "If you don't want to save Buckbeak, you won't be bothered." ”

Hermione pursed her lips tightly.

Scott added, "Of course, if you can come up with something else better......

"Enough, thanks for the suggestion!"

Hermione interrupted Scott abruptly, gritted her teeth, and turned away angrily.

Looking at her departing back, Scott couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

“…… If I had known, I wouldn't have talked much. He muttered.

By the next day, he began to regret his mouthfulness even more.

At noon the next day, Harry and Ron approached him and urged him to join the event to save Buckbeak.

If it was just Harry and Ron, Scott would have refused, but the Weasley twins were with them.

"You can't say no to this." Fred said to him.

George added, "Last school year you invited us to join us in the search for the Slytherin heir, and we immediately agreed. ”

"Yes." Harry hurriedly spoke, "You also told Dumbledore about the fact that I could hear the monster talking. ”

Scott ignored Harry and said to the twins, "That saved your sister." ”

Ron flinched a little when he heard Scott say this, but the twins were unaffected.

"Of course, you're not wrong." Fred grinned, "But this one can't hide our good qualities." ”

George emphasized, "As soon as you said yes, obviously, we value our friends enough. ”

Scott asked Harry with some headaches, "Why are Fred and George involved?" ”

"Oh......" Harry was a little embarrassed, "because last night...... They overheard our conversation in the common room. ”

"Obviously, everyone was already asleep at that time!" Ron frowned and complained.

Scott wasn't surprised.

"Understood." He said, "I know, you three are always conspiring loudly. ”

Harry and Ron were a little uncomfortable when they heard this, but Fred and George smirked.

Scott thought for a moment and asked them, "So, you all know what kind of magical item Hermione has in her hand?" ”

All four nodded at the same time, their eyes glowing.

"It's amazing!" "I can't believe we're missing out on anything because we didn't take all the classes!" ”

"Of course, our brothers never told us about that thing, and I bet Percy must have one too." George said with some dissatisfaction.

"Percy forget it." Ron pouted, "But Bill didn't even tell us." ”

"What about the specific plan?" Scott asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Of course it'......"

Fred and George looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"Watching the execution in the open."

"Back in the day after the fact."

"Secretly rescue Buckbeak."

"That's it?" Scott raised an eyebrow, "Rescue the Hippogriff in full view?" Don't you think it's too difficult? Even if he succeeds, how can he escape the Ministry of Magic? ”

"Buckbeak can fly." Harry said, "And, I have the Cloak of Invisibility. ”

"So it's not going to take so many people, it's about having as few people as possible," Scott said. ”

"Of course, it's me and Hermione who act." Harry said, "You're standing in the crowd of onlookers and doing something to help us in secret. ”

Hearing him say this, Scott finally nodded, "If that's all it takes, I'll say yes." ”

He thought about it for a while, but couldn't help but say, "But your plan needs to be perfected a little more." ”
