369. Caccini's late-night invitation

Because of the rhetoric he made in his dorm room, claiming to unearth the reason for the radical change in Caccini, Eddie became completely involved in the secret for the rest of the day.

Although it is unknown exactly what he did, Scott always saw him mingling with the Hufflepuff students in the following days.

But Eddie's efforts did not make much progress, as evidenced by the fact that he never brought up the matter.

Unexpectedly, compared to Eddie's useless work, Milton, who often plays in the classical music club with Caccini, has a clue first.

It's still a bedtime dorm night talk.

Sitting on the bed, Milton held his wand and blew on his long hair with a drying charm.

He suddenly said to Scott them: "Something...... Perhaps I should tell you that just after dinner today, while I was practicing at the club, Caccini asked me quietly...... Would you like to get my musical talent back? ”

Scott: They were all surprised to hear the news.

Milton's musical talent was traded by Medea for Caccini, something that several of them knew.

But......

"How is that possible?" Eddie, who had the fastest mouth, was the first to speak, "Could it be that Caccini has also joined the organization of the green-robed men under the command of the revived witch?" ”

At this time, Scott, who was lying on the bed, also frowned.

He thought Caccini's question was incredulous, so he said, "Even if Medea agrees to Caccini's request to exchange talents for her and Milton, where else is there a place like Hogwarts with a huge source of magic to sign a magical oath with her?" ”

Scott learned from Tutor Ravenclaw that the magical oath that Medea once presided over and could trade talents was signed and operated under very harsh conditions, and it should be unrepeatable.

There was no one at Hogwarts who could not have made such a pact with her, and Medea couldn't find a suitable place in England other than Hogwarts.

Roger's statement was from a different angle, and he said in a very surprised tone: "In other words, does she regret trading with Lady Slytherin too?" ”

It can be seen that Caccini's lack of attention to magical talent left a deep impression on him.

"I don't know." Milton stopped blowing his hair and placed his wand on the small table beside the bed, "She asked something like that suddenly, and then left without waiting for me to answer. ”

He ran his fingers through his hair, the expression on his face a little hesitant.

There was a few seconds of silence in the dormitory, and Scott sat up and asked Milton, "What do you think, Milton?" ”

"Me?" Milton said with some confusion, "I've come to terms with the status quo." ”

"But Caccini's questioning shook you again, didn't it?" Scott asked keenly.

"I'......," Milton pursed his lips, "you've all said it, and what she said couldn't have come true, didn't it?" ”

Eddie said, "Let's just ask her tomorrow and ask her why she said that." ”

Milton nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'll ask you clearly." He said.

Eddie lifted the bedmang and poked his head out to look at Milton, "Why do you want to apologize?" ”

Milton smiled embarrassedly, "I always feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble, especially this one, I was willing to trade with Miss Slytherin in the first place......"

"Don't think about it so much." Scott laughed and said, "Actually, we didn't help you much." ”

"Anyway, it's enough." Milton laughed too.

When Scott lay down again, he heard Roger say, "Scott, Eddie, you two accompany Milton to ask Caccini, I won't go." ”

"It's fine." Eddie grinned and said, "Lest Sister Caccini wants to teach you a lesson when she sees you." ”

"Hey!" Roger howled in displeasure.

At noon the next day, Scott and Eddie accompanied Milton at the door of the auditorium to wait for Caccini, who had come with several girls.

Scott watched quietly, and Caccini's image changed again.

Of the several girls who wore short skirts and stockings on the lower body, she was the only one wearing men's trousers and leather boots.

Her hairstyle has changed to a scalp inch, her ears are covered with silver earrings, and her face has no makeup.

"Good afternoon, Caccini." Milton offered to say hello.

"Milton?" Caccini grinned, revealing two pointed tiger teeth, "What's the matter?" ”

The smile on her face was ruffian, and her movements were very aggressive, completely subverting her previous dignified lady image.

Scott was secretly shocked, and couldn't help but deliberately sense Caccini's magic to confirm that she was still herself.

The last time I spoke to Caccini up close, her image was exaggerated, but she just changed from a lady to a hot girl, but now...... The girl seems to have blurred her gender.

Although he had seen this girl's subversive image from a distance before, it was the first time that he had a close contact, and it inevitably made people feel that the impact was too great.

Scott even heard Eddie secretly gasp.

Compared to the shock of Scott and Eddie, Milton has become accustomed to Caccini's new image.

He whispered, "What you told me last night. ”

"Really?" Caccini smiled playfully, "What do you think?" ”

"I want to talk to you." Milton said.

Caccini nodded, "Talk?" Of course. ”

She turned her head and said a few words to her companions, and the girls entered the auditorium with a giggling voice.

Caccini looked up at Scott and Eddie again.

"How." She put one hand on Milton's shoulder, "Are the two of them your bodyguards or babysitters, little Milton?" ”

"No...... No......" Milton couldn't help but blush and take two steps back.

At this point, Scott spoke, "Hello, Caccini. Eddie and I were just curious about what you were saying, why, isn't it convenient for us to hear? ”

Hearing this, the teasing smile on Cachini's face narrowed a little.

"Scott, Scott, you're really good at laughing." She sighed and said, "Who can refuse you at Hogwarts, Ravenclaw genius." ”

As she spoke, she spun the soles of one foot and spun around quickly, her robe throwing a flowing arc in the air.

"Come with me." She walked briskly forward, "I know, anyway, telling Milton is telling everyone in your dorm. ”

"Let's go."

Scott patted Milton, who was still a little stunned, and the three of them followed behind Caccini.

The group quickly left the vicinity of the auditorium and entered an empty classroom nearby.

"Come on in." Caccini sat cross-legged at his desk and beckoned to the trio, "Remember to close the door." ”

Scott closed the classroom door, and the three boys walked up to Caccini.

As soon as Milton was about to speak, Caccini raised his hand to stop him.

She pointed a finger with a black ring at Eddie, "Are you sure you want him to hear the secret I'm going to tell next?" I think he's going to pass it to everyone at Hogwarts as fast as he can. ”

"This is slander!" Eddie exclaimed, "It's slander!" ”

He almost crooked his nose in anger.

"Don't worry." Scott smiled and glanced at Eddie, "This kid knows what to say and what not to say." ”

"Since you say so." Caccini withdrew his fingers and touched his slightly upturned chin, "So be it." ”

Scott nodded.

He winked at Milton and stepped aside to take his seat.

Eddie sat next to him.

Only Milton was left standing alone in front of Caccini.

He asked, "Caccini, what do you mean by what you asked me yesterday?" ”

"What do you mean?" Caccini smiled, "That's what it means literally." ”

"But ......," said Milton.

"No, but." Sitting at his desk, Caccini looked down at Milton, "You just have to tell me, Milton Graves, if you'd like to swap it back." ”

"I ......," Milton seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, but finally nodded, "of course, I'm willing to trade back my musical talent." ”

"Good." Caccini moved closer to Milton, whispered something in his ear, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Then, she jumped off her desk and left the classroom, leaving the three boys with a dashing back.

"What's going on? What did she just say? Eddie exclaimed, "Didn't she just say she was going to tell us a secret that we can't tell anyone?" Why did you just leave like this? ”

"She said......," Milton turned, "and she told me to go to the classical music club at 12 o'clock tonight." ”

Eddie complained, "She must be playing tricks, what the hell can't she say now?" ”

Scott looked at Mir with an inquiring look, "Are you going, tonight." ”

Milton nodded, "Now that I've decided to figure this out, I'll take a trip." ”

"I'll go with you." Scott said.

This matter is full of strange things, and he really doesn't feel comfortable letting Milton go to the appointment alone.

"And me!" Eddie said quickly.

Milton wanted to say something, but chose to acquiesce in Scott's unquestionable gaze.

"Thank you." He said gratefully.

During the afternoon Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Scott had been secretly observing Caccini.

This girl has changed just too much.

It was clear that the other girls in the same year at Hufflepuff House liked to surround her, vaguely focusing on her, and competing with her in dueling classes.

And Caccini is also like a real playboy, always handling these "jealous" scenes with ease.

The boys in the class couldn't help but look at her with envy.

In comparison, Roger, who has been single for a long time, is simply not worthy of the title of "playboy".

"Do you think Caccini is still herself?" He asked Milton softly.

Milton looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he was asking the question.

Scott thought about it, and it didn't seem that there was such a legend in the wizarding world as "taking away".

But he said it anyway, "I mean, is it possible that her body is occupied by other souls. ”

"Is there such magic in the wizarding world? The black magic that takes over other people's bodies? Milton looked dazed, "And, I'm pretty sure she's still her, I can tell from the music she plays." ”

"That's good." Scott nodded slightly.

Also, if the wizard could really take it away, Voldemort two years ago wouldn't have just been parasitic on the back of Professor Quirrell's head.

In the evening, Scott, who had once again been knocked down many times by Professor Flitwick's superb dueling skills, dragged his tired body back to his dormitory.

"Scott, you look more tired than I did after a Quidditch fight." Roger looked at Scott who was slumped on the bed, "Are you sure you can accompany Milton to the appointment later?" ”

Eddie also said, "It's better to let Roger and I go with him." ”

"You'd better get some rest." Milton also looked at him worriedly, "I'm only going to Hogwarts to go to the appointment, and I won't encounter danger." ”

"At most, they were caught by Filch and Lady Loris, or by the professor who was on the night patrol, and then deducted points and confined to them." Eddie said with a smile.

Scott shook his head, shifted his upper body to lean himself on a pillow stacked high, and pulled a bottle of potion from the shape-shifting lizard skin pouch around his waist and poured it into his mouth.

"It's okay." He put the potions bottle away and looked at his pocket watch again, "It's two hours until 12 o'clock, and that's enough for me to recover." ”

The four of them discussed for a while and decided to go out of the dormitory this time.

Scott and Eddie were in charge of accompanying Milton to appointments, and Roger didn't want to meet Caccini, so he was in charge of keeping things outside the classical music club.

They left their dormitories around 11:30 a.m. and soon came to the bottom of the Ravenclaw Tower.

"Are you alright?" Milton is still worried about Scott's form.

"Of course it's fine." Scott shook his aching arm.

His magic power had recovered, and his body was only a little sore, which had little effect on his combat effectiveness.

"Don't talk, follow me."

He was the first to leave the tower, expanding his mana perception to the maximum extent of his abilities.

The four of them made their way to the basement level of the main castle building.

Scott could feel his roommates nervous.

Especially when passing by Snape's office, several people crept through quickly, trying not to make a sound.

Everyone was afraid that the elusive Potions Professor would emerge from the darkness and spray venom at them.

After turning several corners in the dark hallway, I finally came to the door of the activity room of the classical music club near the abandoned dungeon.

At this point, the wind is passing through the vents above the abandoned dungeon, making strange whimpering sounds.

The chains hanging from the abandoned dungeon made a continuous crashing sound, which was not loud, but it was very clear in the silence of the night.

"Let's go."

Scott was the first to walk to the door of the activity room and pushed the huge wooden door.

Unexpectedly, the door was gently pushed open by him, and the warm light cast on the stone slab on the ground through the crack in the door that was pushed open, and it was stretched long.

There was a faint sound of a piano coming from the activity room.
