Early the next morning, Scott received a letter from Sawana.

After repeatedly checking that there was no mystery in the letter, Scott used Transfiguration to conjure a monkey far away from him to open the envelope.

After finally confirming that there was no danger in the letter, Scott took the letter from the monkey and read it.

[Scott, are you okay.]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... ］

Half of the scribbled parchment had the word "sorry" written on it.

Scott skimmed past the meaningless apologies and looked directly at Savanna's explanation behind her.

[I'm sorry, I'm hiding a lot from you.]

It's also because of me that my brother Aaron finds an opportunity to do something bad...... ］

In this letter, Sawanna did not hide her identity as before, but revealed everything and everything.

Scott is also beginning to understand the ins and outs of things.

Sawanna's Doherty family, located in Northern Ireland, has long adhered to the traditional Celtic beliefs, the Druidic sect.

In other words, the Doherty family members are all the druids that remain in modern times.

And as time passed, the druid spells they could pass on became weaker and weaker.

After Sawanna's older brother Aaron was born, their parents and elders discovered that Aaron's talent was not outstanding, and Aaron's performance after awakening and transforming into a druid.

[They believe that this is the fate of the druids, and that those former glories will be diminished from generation to generation until they disappear completely...... ］

Knowing that Sawana's birth changed all that.

Sawanna's talent is higher than that of previous generations.

She awakened her magic at the age of 5, completed the transformation of her magical nature at the age of 7, and passed the initial test at the age of 9 to become an official druid.

[Since then, Aaron has changed.] ］

Perhaps out of reluctance and jealousy, the boy who once loved his sister very much took a different path.

[Aaron once told me that he would take all the responsibilities and that I just had to grow up happy.]

He didn't rejoice for me after I became a druid, he just looked at me sadly and said that he might be going to break his promise and that everything would fall on my shoulders.

Perhaps unwillingly, he quietly left his home and began to search for the ruins left by the ancient druids, and then, he simply disconnected from us, and no one knows what happened to him...... ］

Seeing this, Scott chuckled softly.

Can't accept that the sister who originally needed to protect herself has become stronger than herself?

In the following letter, Sawanna describes the oak forest where Scott has been.

[It is the Sea of Oaks, where all the druids of the Doherty family have cultivated oaks from ancient times to the present day, as well as one of the oldest sacred trees.]

The temple under the sacred tree was the site of the druids' promotion to priesthood...... ］

At some point, Aaron sneaked back to Northern Ireland and dived into the Sea of Oaks.

He initiated the rite of promotion to priesthood without presiding over it, and it failed.

[When I hear the results of your arithmetic divination, I know what's going on.]

The body is asleep, the consciousness is half-asleep, and the spirit is active.

This result shows that he has failed, although not completely, but his body, consciousness, and spirit are not able to be unified, and he will never be able to complete the last step of promotion. ］

Sawanna wrote to her elders about it.

During the summer of 1993, Sawanna and her parents tried to awaken Aaron's consciousness, but they failed.

[After I started school, my grandfather couldn't bear Aaron to sink like this, and finally spent a huge amount of money to awaken his consciousness.] ］

This incident caused Sawana's grandfather to fall from the level of a druid priest and become a normal druid.

[We need a priest, or the power of the Sea of Oaks will slowly wane.]

Neither my father nor my uncle had the talent to become priests.

At this time, only I became a priest and guarded the temple to ensure the continuation of the druids. ］

Seeing this, Scott immediately understood that the sea of oaks was what kept Savanna, the druid family, alive to this day.

After all, even Ravenclaw was surprised that the druids had been passed down to modern times.

[After Aaron's consciousness awakens, his grandfather throws his consciousness and spirit into the sacred tree to keep him safe.]

Grandfather hoped that Aaron's consciousness and spirit would become one with the help of the power of the sacred tree, and only then would he have a chance to return to his body. ］

At this point, there were several ink dots on the parchment, and it seemed that Savanna's hands began to tremble when she wrote this, and the handwriting became more sloppy.

[I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked about you while talking to Aaron.]

He learned a lot about you from me...... ］

Scott picked up speed and read the paragraph at a glance.

Aaron learns the basics of Scott from Sawanna, and he has the evil idea of sacrificing.

By sacrificing Scott, a genius in Savannah's mouth, Aaron will be able to get out of his current predicament and complete the final step of his promotion to become a druid priest.

To Scott, this method was familiar, and it seemed to be the same method used by Medea.

[We didn't expect that during his days of exploring the ruins of magic, he didn't know where he got such an evil magical ritual.]

When he knows that you are a genius, he finds a way to bring you to the Sea of Oaks, and if you walk into the temple, the sacrifice will be initiated. ］

"Who is helping him? That kid only has consciousness now, and it is impossible for him to do these things alone! Rimbaud, who read the letter with Scott, said.

"Read on and find out." Scott said.

"Oh! It's her cousin! Her uncle's daughter! Oh! Her cousin is in love with his brother! Rimbaud exclaimed as he watched, "I remember that this is not allowed in humans, of course, I mean those Muggles. ”

Scott nodded, his face disgusted, "In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, intermarriage with the same surname is not uncommon among pure-blood families, and the Gaunt family even has blood unions. ”

Of course, Muggles once had such a thing.

Only in the country where Scott lived in his previous life would there be no intermarriage.

"Anyway, that cousin helped Aaron swap the gift Sawanna prepared for you." Rimbaud said as he read the letter, "And Aaron took the opportunity to steal some of the power of the sacred tree......

"That's why he was ready for the sacrificial ceremony." Scott said in a calm tone.

"That guy really had bad intentions, and said that you should save his sister, and you were almost deceived by him!" Rimbaud chattered a little, "It's good that you're really not Savana's boyfriend, otherwise wouldn't you have really been cheated?" ”

"That's the good thing about being single?" Scott couldn't laugh or cry.

Anyway, he can't imagine what he looks like when he falls in love.

Will he let his guard down for a girl? Or are you willing to take the plunge?

Scott shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.

He continued to read the letter.

[I'm sorry, I need to apologize to you.]

Really, really sorry, it's all my fault.

I'll definitely try my best to make it up to you. ］

The back of the letter began to repeat "I'm sorry", so Scott didn't look closely.

Rimbaud looked up and asked Scott, "Do you think that girl will ever return to Hogwarts?" ”

Scott shook his head, "She's not going back." If she succeeds in her promotion to priesthood, she needs to guard the sea of oaks all the time, and if she fails to be promoted, the result is not necessarily better than Aaron's. ”

"And how will she compensate you?" Rimbaud was curious.

"Who knows?" Scott didn't take the alleged compensation to heart.

Rimbaud asked, "Will you take revenge on Aaron?" ”

"Who knows."

Scott found the necklace that had taken him to the Sea of Oaks and placed it in the original wooden box, then smiled silently.

"Oh, you don't mean anything when you look at it." Rimbaud chuckled a few times.

Scott ignored it.

Whether or not to retaliate depends on whether the so-called compensation is sincere.

If he can get satisfactory compensation, Scott can also put the matter aside for a while.

The premise is that Aaron never appears in front of him again.

If Aaron appears in front of him again, then he will take revenge, regardless of whether he gets satisfactory compensation or not.

Collecting the letter, Scott went downstairs and made a phone call to his parents, who were far away in Madrid.

"My dear son, are you home?"

Emilia was surprised to hear that Scott had returned to Hastings.

"I cleaned the house and started working on the garden today." "Maybe we should get a professional brokerage to help maintain the house," Scott said. ”

Emilia agreed with his suggestion, "We were in a bit of a hurry and didn't think of that. Leave it alone, I'll ask your dad to call someone to help with this, and don't forget, there's an old house left by your grandfather. ”

Scott agreed.

After a casual breakfast, he found some tools in the basement, changed into old clothes, and began to tidy up his garden.

Although he could ask a brokerage company to help maintain it, he decided to renovate the garden himself to his liking.

Because the garden was so dilapidated, it took Scott a whole day to tidy it up.

"It's been a long time since I've worked like a Muggle."

In the evening, he said to Rimbaud while rubbing his sore shoulders.

Rimbaud said, "You can use magic secretly in the middle of the night. ”

"That wouldn't make sense." Scott laughs, "I'm just nostalgic for working at home as a kid for pocket money." ”

Rimbaud didn't understand his hypocrisy.

The next few days passed uneventful, and Scott spent the rest of the holiday peacefully at Hastings' home.

After the Christmas break, he arrived at King's Cross station in time to board the express train to Hogwarts.
