Hearing Professor Flitwick say that he lacked combat experience, Scott nodded in agreement.

Although Hogwarts has now added wizarding dueling classes to the Defence Against the Dark Arts curriculum, the intensity of the training is nowhere near what Scott needs.

As Professor Flitwick commented, his fight with his classmates in the same grade was crushing, and it had no effect on exercise.

He could have practiced with Blake or Lupin in dueling class, but the Black professor hasn't been back to Hogwarts since the cause of Blake's brother's death was discovered.

Later, he simply resigned.

For this reason, the Potions professor at Hogwarts was in a good mood for several days.

Now, Remus Lupin, who was previously an assistant teacher, has officially become the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

With only one person in charge of teaching, the Lupin professor couldn't find time to do Scott's duels to train his opponents.

For various reasons, Scott's combat experience has not increased much, and he has always been able to think about the tactics he can use only in an imaginary way.

Combat is no different, and it's not a skill that can be improved by burying one's head in the work.

Without enough combat experience, no matter how good Scott's spell casting skills are, no matter how well he plays Transfiguration, and no matter how many powerful spells he learns, he will not be able to exert his due combat effectiveness in battle.

In this case, if the opponent is a wizard with worse hard power than him, he can be crushed by his hard power, but if the opponent's level is comparable to him, or only a little worse, he is likely to suffer due to his lack of combat experience.

This time, Professor Flitwick's move was also a solution to Scott's urgent need.

"Again." Professor Flitwick told Scott without giving him a break, "You can only learn the experience of fighting in battle. ”

"Yes."

Scott twisted his hand, which was a little sore from the frequent waving of his wand, and nodded in response.

However, this time he lost the battle even faster.

In addition to the physical exhaustion, it was also because Professor Flitwick increased the frequency of his attacks during this duel.

Professor Flitwick couldn't cast a large chunk of each spell like Dumbledore, but the spells cast from his hand were a lot stronger than Scott's.

He also has much more combat experience and skills than Scott as a student, even if he only uses some rudimentary spells, he is enough to suppress Scott without suspense with experience and skills.

In a duel, he always reacts at the right time.

The spell casting is accurate, the connection is smooth, the movement is flexible, and the combat process is like a cloud of peers, which is pleasing to the eye.

As a well-known wizard dueling champion, Professor Flitwick, who is a little more serious, is more difficult than he can imagine.

This time, Professor Flitwick gave Scott a good break.

Of course, while resting, he patiently explained some practical tips that he used in battle.

Scott wrote it down with great gratitude.

In this way, Scott and Professor Flitwick repeated the process of dueling and resting, until curfew time was completely over for the day.

Eventually, Scott left Professor Flitwick's office, exhausted.

Thankfully, Professor Flitwick had been using elementary spells, and apart from a few bumps, Scott wasn't really hurt.

However, Scott is well aware that this result shows that Professor Flitwick has been in a comfortable state in the battle, and that he is still far behind.

Scott wasn't discouraged by that.

Prior to this, he had not won a duel training with Blake and Lupin, and Professor Flitwick was clearly a wizard of a higher caliber than Blake and Lupin.

Of course, when it comes to the level of magic, Scott is not much worse than Blake and Lupin today, and there are even some advantages that they don't have.

The biggest difference between him and those two adult wizards is only the accumulation of magic power and combat experience.

After a little difficulty back at the Ravenclaw Tower, Scott slumped on the couch by the fireplace as he entered the common room.

As curfew approaches, there are very few people still in the common room.

Luna was still huddled on the couch by the fireplace with a thick book in her arms, and when she saw Scott, she got up and walked in front of Scott.

"Good evening, Scott." She sat on the couch across from Scott, "Sawanna has replied." ”

As she spoke, she handed Scott a letter that was mixed into the book.

Scott was a little surprised and said, "So soon, I remember asking you last night." ”

Luna nodded, "I sent the letter this morning and received a reply in the evening. ”

When Scott took the letter, she threw off her slippers and curled up on the couch to read.

Scott looked down at the letter and saw that it had not been opened, and that it was his name written on it.

"This letter is for you." Luna seemed to know what he was thinking, "This letter is inside the one for me. ”

"Thank you."

Scott opened the envelope, took out the parchment, and unfolded it to look at it.

[Scott, are you okay?]

I was very happy when I received Luna's letter.

But when I learned what happened to you from her letter, I was very disturbed by it.

Luna told me the contents of the prophecy. ］

This time, the handwriting in the letter has become neat and beautiful, and it is no longer as hasty and scribbled as in the first two letters.

In this way, Sawanna's situation in the family seems to be better.

[You want to ask me if Avalon is real?]

Avalon is the central belief of the druids, the legendary ideal town, and in the legend, it is Elysium, the island of God blessed, where I think it is real.

Avalon's existence may even have a deep connection to my family.

According to the family's oral story, in the distant past, the ancestor of the surname Doherty was a servant who served the fairies.

Morgan Le Fay, the legendary leader of the nine fairies who ruled Avalon, is King Arthur's half-sister. ］

Seeing this, Scott's eyes widened.

Absurd, this was his first reaction after seeing these contents.

But after reacting, he was unable to refute Sawanna's statement in the letter for a while.

What happened to him now was absurd enough, and it seemed that there was nothing more absurd than anything more absurd.

He went on.

[When I was very young, my grandfather used to tell me the story of Avalon.]

Remember the sea of oaks you've been to?

According to my grandfather, this was once the swamp that entered Avalon.

My grandfather told me that after the passage to Avalon was completely closed, the druids who had been left behind on the land transformed the swamp into a sea of oaks.

Sounds unbelievable, right?

To be honest, I've always been skeptical of this statement.

I don't doubt the authenticity of Avalon, but ......

Because my grandfather wasn't calm when he said this, I guess he was hiding some truth that he hadn't told me.

Wait for me, Scott, I'll get you all in.

I'm already a full-fledged druid priest, and they can't hide anything from me.

As for the rest of the prophecy that Professor Trelawney said, I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue yet.

I'm sorry, but now I can only help you so much.

But I'll try to get it clear, and I'll write to you if I have more clues. ］

This concludes the letter.

Scott folded the parchment and put it in an envelope.

Luna, who was reading a book, looked up and said, "Sawanna told me that Avalon is real, and I think so, because when I was a child, my dad said the same. ”

"If it's true." Scott raised the letter in Young's hand, "Sawanna told me that the access to Avalon has been closed. ”

Luna said optimistically: "Since it can be closed, it can be reopened, but we haven't found a way to open it yet." ”

"Maybe." Scott lowered his eyelids.

[Scroll of History], [Clairvoyant], [King of Eternity], [The Man Who Doesn't Exist]......

The words in the prophecy kept swirling in his mind, but he still didn't find any more clues, but became more and more confused as he knew.

"The brain is mushy."

By the time he heard Luna chanting the incantation, it was too late, and his unusually tired body did not react, and he quickly fell into a daze.

"Stop."

When he came to his senses, he saw Luna holding a book in one hand and a wand pointing at him with the other.

Scott blinked, he never thought Luna would attack him, and he was extremely mobile, he could be called a person who could do it without saying a word.

"Are you feeling better?" Luna looked at him and asked seriously.

Scott didn't know how to react, and for a moment he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, the harassing flies have escaped, it seems that this method really works!" Luna said happily.

“……”

Scott wanted to tell her that he was stunned by her miraculous operation, and for a moment he didn't care about the prophecy of worrying about it.

But Luna had apparently embraced her credit for the moment.

She nodded in satisfaction, twirling the wand between her fingers twice, and put her hand behind her ear.

Just then, Eddie walked into the common room with his small bag on his back.

"Good evening, Scott, Luna."

With a smile on his face, he ran over to Scott and sat down.

"Scott, you've sold out of all the [Magic Crystal Player] you've made, including the portion that's more than ordered." He said with some smugness, "And I have received a new order, and you need to restock." ”

Luna smiled and said, "Eddie, if you continue like this, you will be more like a merchant than a wizard." ”

Eddie shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, "There's nothing wrong with being a businessman. ”

He said to Scott again: "In addition to the new order for the player, there is another thing. ”

"What?" Scott asked.

"The matter of the college promo." Eddie smirked again, "The students of the other three houses are discussing why only Ravenclaw College has a promotional video. Of course, they also want a promo video for their own college. ”

Scott raised an eyebrow, "Did they place an order for a promo?" ”

Eddie shook his head, "Of course not, how could they ask those of us who don't belong to their academy to make a promo?" ”

Without waiting for Scott to ask again, he came up with the answer on his own, "Now a lot of people at Hogwarts have mail-ordered panoramic telescopes, and they're going to make their own promotional videos, but they're having technical difficulties. ”

Speaking of this, the smugness on his face became even stronger, "They want us to 'edit' the footage for them." ”

"You accepted it?" Scott asked. "I don't want to do this, and aren't Fred and George inventing magic cameras?"

"You don't have to do it." Eddie rubbed his hands, "All you need is you to lend me [the magic mirror], and I'll do it!" ”

Scott has no objection to this.

He just didn't expect that the product of his momentary fun would cause the students of Hogwarts to roll up with each other as a house.

"As for Fred and George's magic camera?" Eddie laughs, "They're still a long way from success." ”

In the days that followed, Scott devoted himself to his studies.

Because he understood the importance of his own strength, and that it was useless to think too much, he even deliberately did not think about or rarely thought about the prophesied things.

At the end of March, Professor Flitwick told him before a duel drill began that they were ready to open the Golden Chest.

As the discoverer of the Golden Chest, Scott is invited to observe this special magical ritual.

The appointed day was a Saturday.

While most of the students and faculty were cheering for their teams at the Quidditch pitch, Scott followed the three professors to the top floor platform of the Astronomy Tower.

Dumbledore landed the golden chest floating beside him.

"Let's get started." Professor Binns said to Professor Flitwick, "Don't forget what I taught you. ”

Professor Flitwick nodded, and walked over to the golden chest.

He stretched out his hand and touched the words engraved on the box, and circled around the golden treasure chest again, before coughing twice seriously.

"Oh......" he said, looking a little nervous, "and so on. ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his wide sleeve.

Scott recognized the box at a glance, it was the box containing the Ravenclaw crown in Professor Flitwick's office.

Professor Flitwick opened the box and solemnly took out the Ravenclaw tiara and placed it on his head.

"So you won't forget how to read those damn ancient goblin texts!" He said happily.

Then, he also started his performance.

“……”

At the beginning of the first sentence, Scott couldn't help but cover his ears.

At the same time, he slandered in his heart-

The song of the fairy sounds like a kind of magic that can be performed through singing, and the name is even more beautiful and beautiful, but no one expected that the truth of the matter is exactly the opposite.

I don't know if Professor Flitwick is not skilled in this magic, or if it's just like that......

In short, Professor Flitwick's "singing" made Scott's hairs stand on end?

His "singing" has nothing to do with adjectives like beautiful and beautiful.

Scott was tempted to ask why this magic was called "Goblin Song" and why not just "Goblin Scream".
