355. Career, limelight, collapse

In the dorm room that night, Scott and his roommates were each lying in bed and chatting.

"There are 52 people who have booked [the Magic Crystal Player] tonight." Eddie said happily, "I think if we take the promo to the auditorium, maybe someone else will be interested." ”

Roger expressed skepticism, "People from other houses would buy a Ravenclaw House promo?" ”

Eddie said confidently, "But the player that can play videos is fun, isn't it?" This is something that has never been seen before in the wizarding world. ”

With that, he sat up directly from the bed and said to Scott, "Scott, let's put that big mirror in the auditorium tomorrow!" ”

"Whatever you want." "That big mirror only has a playback function, you can't edit the edit, and nothing can happen." ”

"Then I'm going to take action." Eddie said, "It's not just to sell promos, it's to make people familiar with this kind of entertainment." ”

Roger asked him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's maybe a way to make money in the long run." Eddie said with great interest, "As long as we keep shooting interesting content, we can make money in a steady stream." Of course, this is only the practice at this stage. ”

Scott asked him, "You want to start a magical entertainment company?" ”

"I do." Eddie said in an even more excited tone, "With your technology and ideas, we can even create a movie theater in the wizarding world in the future." Of course, if you can find a way to connect to the screen, so can the TV station. ”

Roger smiled and said, "If you can start Wizard TV, you can control the public opinion of the wizarding world." ”

"Good idea." Milton complimented.

Scott also said in an encouraging tone: "Go for it, I support you." ”

"Aren't you going to do it with me?" Eddie asked, surprised.

However, Scott was not interested in such a thing.

He smiled, "I said that the promo was just for fun, and of course, I can provide you with technical support." ”

"Okay then, then it's better to take a stake in your technology." Eddie muttered, then asked Milton and Roger, "What about you?" ”

Milton said, "I'm sorry, Eddie, I've already figured out what I'm going to do in the future, remember what I said on Halloween last year?" ”

"Oh, I remember." Eddie sighed and said, "You're going to the Muggle world and follow the path of music." ”

"Yes." Milton's tone was firm.

Eddie sighed again, but didn't try to persuade him.

Roger said, "It's too early, I'll talk about it after graduation." ”

"Okay." Eddie smacked his lips, "Speaking of which, you wouldn't think you could be a Quidditch pro, would you?" ”

Roger immediately quit when he heard him say this, "Why can't I become a pro?" ”

"What do you say?" Eddie laughed twice, "You don't have much room for growth in your skill level, but it's a little worse than a real pro. ”

Roger had nothing to say, but he didn't really get angry either, but said, "I haven't figured out what I'm going to do in the future." ”

Milton asked, "Is it just me and Eddie who have figured out what we're going to do after graduation?" Scott, what about you? ”

"Is this a discussion about future career plans?" Scott lazily said, "I'm a wizard by profession. ”

Eddie lay down again and smirked several times, "Oh, that's not funny at all. ”

Milton whispered, "I think Scott meant that he wanted to continue on the path of magic. ”

Roger said to Scott, "If you want to continue your delving into magic, maybe you can join the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. ”

"No, I don't want to be a so-called silent person." Scott yawned, "Anyway, after I graduate, I'll go on a trip and see different kinds of magic around the world." ”

Hearing him say this, the other three were silent for a while.

After a while, Eddie said, "It's dangerous, and if you're going to travel to all kinds of places, you're going to inevitably have to deal with a lot of dangerous people." ”

Scott chuckled, "I feel like I'm a danger myself. ”

Roger's tone was filled with longing and regret, "Sounds great, but if it's me, I probably can't do it." ”

Milton said seriously, "Scott, you are the most magically gifted of our few. Maybe you can really become a powerful wizard like Dumbledore. ”

"Who knows." Scott's tone was very casual, but his eyes were determined, "But I'll try." ”

The next morning, when Scott woke up, he found that Eddie was no longer in the bedroom.

"Early." Roger, who had also just woken up, said hello.

He saw Scott looking at Eddie's bed, and said, "That kid must have moved that big mirror to the auditorium." ”

Scott smiled helplessly. "That's why he's only so active when it comes to making money."

When they arrived at the auditorium for breakfast, they saw Eddie fiddling with the large mirror in front of the auditorium.

He even made a floor stand for the mirror out of wood.

"It's fine when it's playing in the Ravenclaw common room." Scott said to Roger and Milton, "But if it's against the whole school...... I suddenly felt a little ashamed. ”

"Me too." Milton said.

"A little bit." Roger said.

But Eddie and the rest of the Ravenclaws apparently didn't think so, and there were several Ravenclaw students in the audience who were helping Eddie, and there were even quite a few students showing off to students from other houses they knew.

Eddie turned his head and hurriedly waved happily when he saw the three roommates, but Scott ignored him and sat directly at the long table, waiting for breakfast to arrive without squinting.

After a while, Scott heard the Weasley twins yelling.

"Oh! George! Look! The Ravenclaw guys are going to be smug! ”

"Oh! Fred! Rest assured! We won't let them get complacent for long! ”

The two guys deliberately stood behind Scott and talked loudly.

"What is this doing? Is there anything interesting about this big mirror? Their brother Ron asked curiously.

"Wait and see, Ron." Fred said in an unconvinced tone, "It's the Ravenclaws showing off their academy, but we're not going to lose to them either." ”

George also said, "We're going to make a good one!" ”

Since Scott has not shied away from them, the twins have seen the finished film of the promo.

It's just that the answers of the two made Ron even more confused.

He said to Harry, "I don't understand what the two of them are saying. ”

Just then, Eddie had set up the mirror and returned to the long table with a few Ravenclaws.

Music played.

Harry exclaimed, "Oh! The picture appears in the mirror! It's like a TV! ”

Scott looked back, "Excuse me, do you guys need to stand behind me all the time and talk?" ”

"Of course."

"We're standing right here!"

Fred and George grimaced at him.

The trailer played in the large mirror caught everyone's eye in the auditorium.

"Ravenclaw College Promo 'Superior Wisdom' by producer Scott? Trollope ...... Harry looked at Scott after a few sentences, "Scott, is that you?" You invented the magic TV? ”

"How is this done?" Hermione squeezed next to Harry and looked at Scott with burning eyes, "What magic did you use?" ”

"Panoramic telescope." Scott said, "Ron knows, right? ”

Hermione and Harry hurriedly stared at Ron.

"I know about panoramic telescopes." Ron frowned, "But what does this mirror have to do with a panoramic telescope?" ”

"Shooting with a panoramic telescope, of course."

"Then put it in the mirror."

Fred and George said with a smug smile.

"Of course, Ron is an idiot."

"It's normal for him to not think about it."

Ron was unconvinced and said, "Of course I can think of it, but how can an ordinary mirror have this function!" ”

The twins grimaced at him again and ran back to the Gryffindor table.

Harry and Hermione were still curiously asking Ron what the Panorama Telescope was.

Just then, a hearty breakfast appears on the long table, and the official promo video begins.

The voices in the auditorium were much quieter.

No one was eating, everyone was looking at the picture in the mirror.

The Ravenclaws did not begin their meal either, and all sat with their heads held high, with proud smiles on their faces.

Scott looked left and right, picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of milk.

The sound of pouring milk sounded, and many Ravenclaws looked at him with unkind eyes.

“……”

Scott smiled helplessly and gently put down the milk jug.

It wasn't until many people began to discuss in whispers that he began to eat with confidence.

He drank milk and ate bread while looking at the large mirror, and the appearance of the Ravenclaw portrait in the promotional film unsurprisingly caused a large number of exclamations.

He heard quite a few people say they were not convinced.

"No way, it must be fake!"

"Hogwarts doesn't have a portrait of its founders at all!"

Of course, there are those who believe.

"Maybe it's true, after all, the Ravenclaw crown has been found."

"Could it be that the portrait is in the Ravenclaw common room, and the Ravenclaws have been hiding it from the outside world?"

Scott's eyes turned.

Hearing these discussions, all the Ravenclaw students had a reserved smile on their faces, which was quite flattering.

He couldn't help but think that there were a lot of scenes with these guys.

As the trailer came to an end, Ravenclaw reappeared and said a few words to the Ravenclaw students in a gentle manner, and the audience began to applaud again.

Instead of cheering as they had done in the common room last night, they smiled reservedly, clapped reservedly, and kept glancing at Scott's envoy at dinner.

In order not to look out of place, Scott had no choice but to put down the knife and fork in his hand and applaud with them, meeting the envious eyes of the other college students.

This Sunday morning, Ravenclaw College made a big splash in the school.

Scott, who is a producer, is of course in the spotlight, and many students are staring at him with curious eyes, as if to ask him how he managed to do all this.

So Scott, who had finished breakfast early, quickly slipped away.

With the help of his magic sense, he avoided the others and went straight to the eighth floor and entered Helena's study.

"Good morning, Scott."

When Helena, the girl in the painting, saw Scott enter the door, she immediately took the initiative to greet him, and her attitude was much warmer than before.

"Good morning, Helena."

Scott leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How?" Helena, in the painting, walked to a painting by the door and asked him impatiently, "That...... Promotional video, do you like it? ”

"The Ravenclaws love it, and the others don't know it." Scott laughed and said, "You could have checked out the Ravenclaw common room last night." ”

Helena sat down on the chair in the painting, looked at Scott with her chin in her hand, and said very reservedly, "You know, I just asked, and I didn't want to join in the fun."

In fact, since the ghost Helena entered the painting, the girl Helena in the painting has been able to leave the study and freely shuttle through all the paintings in the castle, but she has rarely gone out, and even if she does, no one will find her.

Of course, Helena doesn't say it, and Scott doesn't know why.

He knew what she was trying to ask, so he spoke again, "Everyone was very excited when Tutor Ravenclaw appeared, and they were all asking where my mentor's portrait was. ”

"Did you tell them?" Helena asked curiously.

"I told them that the portrait of the tutor was hidden in the principal's office." Scott laughed and said, "This study is a secret, isn't it?" ”

"Then let them go to the principal's office and find it." Helena smiled happily.

Scott chatted with her for a while, then went into the inner room and began to study.

In the afternoon, when Scott left the Room of Requirement, he was immediately "caught" by the Weasley twins and Eddie.

"Oh, you came out of thin air from that hallway." Fred held the map in his hand and looked at Scott with a playful gaze.

George also stared with curiosity, "Could it be that there is a secret room hidden there?" ”

As he spoke, the two of them moved together and put their hands on Scott's shoulders at the same time.

"Scott, we've shared a lot of secrets with you!"

"And you concealed it from us after discovering the new secret room!"

Both spoke to Scott in a false accusatory tone.

After speaking, the two let go at the same time, pretending to hug each other in frustration.

"George, it seems that the genius of Ravenclaw does not regard us as true friends."

"You're right, Fred, we're looking at the wrong person."

They patted each other on the back as if they were comforting.

“……”

Scott twitched the corners of his mouth, ignoring the two of them, and turned to look at Eddie.

"Oh, I mean to say, the number of player bookings has gone up again." Eddie shook the notebook in his hand, "I need you to make them quickly." ”

Scott frowned.

"Gotta think of a better way." "It's too much trouble to make them one by one," he said. ”

It's all mechanical labor for him, and the point is that a lot of time will be wasted.

At this time, Fred began to cry loudly, "Look, he doesn't bother us anymore!" ”

"Let's go!" George hugged him and "cried", "The proud Ravenclaws look down on us!" ”

"It's disgusting."

Scott turned to look at the twins who were hugging each other.

"It's kind of disgusting."

Eddie nodded heavily.

Fred and George immediately parted and ran quickly to the corridor where the Room of Requirement was.

"Damn Scott! Don't get complacent! ”

"We'll find him out ourselves!"

The two took out their wands and tapped them on the walls of the hallway.

Scott immediately laughed and walked over to watch them move.

"Find, find." He said to the two, "I dare say, you will never find it." ”

Fred and George snorted unconvinced when they heard this, and looked for more energy.

The two of them struck with their wands, touched them with their hands, and said something in their mouths, and finally studied the tapestry of the foolish Bara for a while, but found nothing.

Then, Eddie was curious to look for it with them, but the three of them tossed back and forth for a while, but they never found any secret room.

"There must be a special secret order required here!" Fred stared at Scott again.

Scott smiled defiantly at him.

Fred frowned and said solemnly to George, "I won't allow Hogwarts to have secrets we don't know!" ”

"It's absolutely not allowed." George nodded solemnly.

The two looked at each other and lunged at Scott at the same time.

Scott was startled and quickly dodged, but the twins chased after him.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Scott raised his hand in surrender, and the twins stopped.

"There are not many people who know about this magical secret room." Scott said.

It's a fact, otherwise how could there be so many things piled up in that room from things?

"Say it quickly." Eddie urged.

"The name of this secret room is the Room of Requirement, also known as the House of Arrivals." "When you think about what kind of room you need in your head, and you walk back and forth down the hallway three times at the same time......

"I see!" Fred's eyes lit up, "I'll try!" ”

As he spoke, he strode up and down the hallway.

Soon, a door appeared on one side of the wall.

"It's true!" George hurriedly ran out and pushed open the door, "Oh......"

Eddie and Fred also squeezed over to look inside.

"Oh......"

All three let out a long exclamation at the same time and squeezed through the door.

Scott walked over and looked at it, and was a little speechless.

It was an ultra-luxurious bathroom, and Dumbledore had mentioned it, and it was probably the one he had stumbled into.

"Close the door!" Fred exclaimed, "I just need to urinate." ”

“……”

Scott exited the bathroom and closed the door.

Two seconds later, the door suddenly vanished, leaving only a stone wall in sight.

After a few moments, the door resurfaced, and the twins and Eddie walked out discussing the gold-encrusted potty in the bathroom.

"Try the room where things are hidden." Scott smiled and said to them, "You're going to find treasure." ”

Eddie tasted it with delight when he heard it.

When a new door appeared, they couldn't wait to push it open.

"Oh......"

The three people crowded in the doorway let out a longer exclamation.

"We're rich!"

Eddie rushed in first, followed by the twins.

Scott followed them into the room and closed the door.

At this time, the three of them had already been so happy that they were gone, like rats that had fallen into a rice bowl.

"This is a wolf-toothed flying saucer? It's a pity that it's broken. ”

"Oh, if we had found out about it earlier, our family wouldn't have had to go to a second-hand bookstore to buy textbooks."

"Look, there's a specimen of a troll!"

Scott weaved through the mountains of debris, not reaching out to touch anything around him.

The debris here was piled up so high that he suspected that if he touched it indiscriminately, they would fall over.

With the help of magic sense, he came to the location of the three of them with a clear goal.

At this time, Eddie and the twins both tilted their heads and pinched their noses with their hands to look at the giant troll specimen.

"Who did this?" Fred said angrily, "Trolls to make specimens? It's just weird! ”

George said, "Maybe the old Slytherin monkey did it." ”

"Makes sense." Fred nodded in agreement.

Scott withdrew his gaze to the five-legged skeleton in the corner.

The five-legged monster is a highly dangerous carnivore and has a special inclination for humans.

This magical animal also comes with this terrifying legend, in which they are the product of human metamorphosis.

At this time, the other three also gathered around Scott to look at the terrifying corpse.

"This is a five-legged monster?" Fred was surprised, "Remember, when we were children, my grandfather told us stories about them." ”

George deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The wizards of the McLiveo family used a transfiguration charm to turn all the McBurn family into five-legged monsters without falling to the ground, and then they themselves were eaten by the five-legged monsters. ”

"There is no basis for this legend." "Maybe people just think their feet are a little bit like humans." ”

"Who knows." Fred shrugged his shoulders, "It's not uncommon for wizards to be transformed into beasts by Transfiguration. ”

He turned around again.

"Oh, there's a wand here!"

He reached out and pulled out a wand that looked a little long from the pile of debris next to him, took it in his hand and waved it.

But it was like pulling out a crucial piece of a stack of blocks, and Scott keenly noticed that the pile of clutter up to the ceiling suddenly began to crumble.

Before he could remind, Scott quickly drew his wand, "Armor protection!" ”

An invisible magical barrier appeared beside Fred.

"Let's go!"

George dragged Fred over.

Several people hurriedly ran in the direction of the door.

Bang!

A loud bang came from behind him, the debris pile collapsed, and the sound of various items falling and colliding was endless.

Just like toppling dominoes, a pile of fallen debris quickly affects the stability of the other piles of debris, and all kinds of debris are surging towards several people like waves.

"Oops! It's too late! Eddie began to scream.

Seeing that it was too late to run out of the door, Scott simply stopped and aimed his wand at several old desks.
