"Dumbledore!"

Caro's frightened voice rang out.

"Stop!"

His first instinct was to rescue Tata, a petrified house-elf.

"Lulu will never let you save this bad elf!"

A scream rang out, and a house-elf familiar to Scott suddenly appeared in front of Tata and blocked Caro's spell with his palm.

"It's all petrified!"

Scott waved his wand with some difficulty.

Although tired, he still seized his opportunity and hit Carlo in the cloak of invisibility with precision.

After confirming that Carlo was petrified by his spell, Scott finally relaxed, propped his hands on his knees, and opened his mouth to gasp for air.

"Are you alright, honorable Mr. Trollope!"

Lulu ran up to him and looked up at him worriedly.

"I'm fine...... I'm just a little too tired......" Scott gasped.

"How can you help?" Lulu was so anxious, "Let Lulu take you to the hospital!" ”

"No need."

At this point, Scott finally took a breath.

He straightened up, waved his hand at Lulu, and turned his head to look in the direction of the castle's main building.

Dumbledore, dressed in his pajamas and nighthat, was walking briskly from there, and Professor Flitwick, who had also changed into his pajamas, trotted behind him.

"Go take off his invisibility cloak, Purr." Scott pointed in the direction where Carlo was.

"Good! Good! ”

Lulu bowed to Scott excitedly, turned around and ran to where Carlo was, waved his hand, and cast a spell to take off Caro's invisibility cloak.

"Huh."

Scott chuckled and walked over to Carlo, looking at the frightened look in his stiff eyes.

"In this way, it seems that I am luckier." Scott said.

Carlo's eyes burst with hatred.

Scott smiled mockingly at him.

"Idiot." He whispered, "You're dead......

"Scott!"

By this time, Professor Flitwick had already run past Dumbledore.

"Are you okay?" He looked his students up and down.

"I'm fine, Professor." Scott let him look at it.

"It's fine if you're okay!" Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief, "When you left me just now, your stamina was almost at the limit! ”

Scott pretended to smile proudly, "Don't worry, Professor, even if my physical strength is at its bottom, it's not something like Carlo can sneak up on." ”

Professor Flitwick laughed too, "Of course, I trust you. ”

"I'm sorry, Scott." Dumbledore walked over at this point, "When I noticed the movement here, it was already time for Mr. Carrow to cast the Diamond Spell. ”

As he spoke, his phoenix patronus flew above his head, turning into silver-white smoke and reintegrating into his body.

Scott looked at this scene with some surprise.

Dumbledore smiled, "Oh, it seems you're more interested in my Patronus Charm than sorry for listening to my old man." ”

Professor Flitwick also looked up at Dumbledore and complimented him, "Albus, you have a better use of the Patronus Charm than any wizard I've ever seen. ”

"It's just a little trick."

Dumbledore said to Professor Flitwick and then to Scott, "If you're interested, I can certainly teach you, of course, after you're proficient in casting the full Patronus Charm." ”

"Thank you." Scott hurriedly thanked him.

Although he hadn't yet cast the full Patronus Charm, he believed that he was not far from that day.

"Now, let's take care of that." Dumbledore looked at Caro, "Hello, Mr. Carlo, long time no see. ”

At this moment, Carlo's eyes were full of fear.

"It's not the first time you've done something like this, Mr. Carlo!" Professor Flitwick said.

He was clearly angry.

"If I'm not mistaken, you once attacked Scott on the bridge with a couple of Slytherins, and later attacked him in the Forbidden Forest with Yaxley! You've been expelled from Hogwarts, and you've narrowly escaped prison, but you didn't dare to do it! ”

"I'm also curious what Mr. Carlo's motive is for doing this." Dumbledore said.

"It won't be Scott's problem anyway!" Professor Flitwick subconsciously defends his students.

"Sure, but we'd better ask." Dumbledore looked at Scott, "What do you think, Scott. ”

"I'm also a little curious about this question." "The last time Carlo said he attacked me because his cousin, Caitlin Rohr, hated me, maybe for the same reason this time," Scott said. ”

"Then let's hear what he has to say."

Dumbledore reached out and tapped Carlo on the shoulder twice.

In the first blow, he lifted the petrification spell in Caro's place.

The second blow, before Carlo could react, his body from the neck down stiffened again.

"Mr. Carlo, you need to answer my question." Dumbledore said to him, "Tell me, why did you do that?" ”

Carlo kept his head down and didn't look at Dumbledore.

He kept his mouth shut tightly and said nothing.

"Looks like he doesn't want to answer your question." Scott looked at Caro.

Hearing his voice, Carlo quickly raised his head and spat red light from his mouth.

Scott, who had been prepared, turned his face sideways, just in time to avoid the attack.

"Poof!"

With hatred on his face, Caro spat out several bloody teeth and a bloody button at Scott.

Although the incident happened suddenly, the filth could not be lifted from Scott, and instead hovered in the air.

It was Professor Flitwick who made the move.

"Thank you, Professor." Scott hurriedly thanked the professor.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand.

"I didn't expect you to hate me so much?" Scott looked at Carlo again, "Did I do anything to you?" ”

Carlo lowered her head again and remained silent.

Scott blinked, pulled out a bottle of potion as fast as he could, and pinched Carlo's chin and poured him a few sips.

Scott looked at Caro, who had become groggy, and said, "At times like these, I choose to learn from Professor Snape." ”

"Oh......" Professor Flitwick was stunned by Scott's movements, "Oh, Scott, what did you feed him?" ”

Dumbledore said in a helpless tone, "Learn from Severus, it must be a truth elixir." ”

Professor Flitwick was a little nervous and said, "Oh! It's against the rules! ”

He looked at Scott, then at Dumbledore.

"Oh forget it." He added, "There is not a wizard here who follows the rules like Minerva. ”

Scott shrugged his shoulders at him, ready to ask Carlo.

"Are you sure you want to ask here?" Dumbledore said, "Go to my office." ”

As he spoke, a beautiful song that seemed to soothe the soul came from above them.

As if the sun was shining from above, the phoenix with its wings spread its wings slowly descended with its long tail feathers, bringing light and warmth.

"We can use the power of the phoenix to be lazy and save the trouble of climbing stairs."

Dumbledore reached out and let the phoenix stop on his arm while winking lightly at Scott.

Scott smiled and walked over to expertly grab one of the phoenix's tail feathers.

The other tail feathers of the phoenix stretched out and wrapped themselves around Professor Flitwick and Carlo's wrists.

"Lulu, this house-elf will be handed over to you to take care of."

Dumbledore gave an explanation to Lulu and asked Phoenix to take the others back to the Headmaster's office.

Scott experienced weightlessness under his feet one second, and then regained his groundedness the next.

Blinking, adjusting to the bright light in the headmaster's office, he thanked the phoenix and looked at Carlo, whose limbs were stiff and his head drooped.

"Say, Elijah Caro, why did you attack me?" He asked directly.

"Because Caitlyn wants you to die." Caro, who looked groggy and dazed, replied.

"Why?" Professor Flitwick asked incredulously.

"Caitlyn wants to avenge the death of Jasmine Travers," Carlo said. ”

"What kind of revenge is this!" Professor Flitwick angrily said, "It's completely innocent!" Miss Travers's death had nothing to do with Scott! ”

"Who knows, I don't care about that," Carlo said. I don't care what reason Caitlyn has to take revenge on Trooppe, I just know that she wants Trolope to die. I'm going to fulfill her willingness, and that's proof that I love her. ”

"Ridiculous! This is extremely absurd! Professor Flitwick exclaimed.

Scott asked, "How did you infiltrate Hogwarts?" And who told you that I was going to be in bad shape tonight because of the duel training? ”

Carlo answered his question honestly.

"I came in through a secret passage, and our family has been studying at Hogwarts for generations, so of course we will know about a secret passage."

"Although the exit of that secret passage was blocked, I destroyed the stone blocking the exit of the secret passage with the help of Tata."

"You told me about you."

"Strilna?" Scott was surprised, "I didn't expect him to graduate and still think about Hogwarts." ”

He was in contact with a lot of Slytherin students, and he said he had access to the information he wanted to know about the school. "I don't know exactly what the channel is. ”

Hearing such an answer, Scott was not satisfied.

But he was not satisfied and there was no way, and Carlo obviously did not know about Strierna.

After thinking about it, he asked Caro again, "You said you came to attack me because of Caitlin Rolle?" That is, she also knows your actions today? Where is she? ”

"Caitlyn doesn't know." Carlo replied, "Caitlyn is dead. ”

"Dead? I remember it was a little girl! Professor Flitwick was visibly surprised, "How did she die?" ”

"It's me, it's me who killed her." Carlo said.

Because of the medicinal effect, he said terrifying words in a flat voice.

"What?" Professor Flitwick's voice sharpened.

"What's going on?"

Scott didn't pretend to be surprised, but still calmly asked the question.

"Because she doesn't love me."

Carlo spoke slowly.

"Even if I attacked Trolope for her, which led to my expulsion from Hogwarts and a few months of imprisonment from the Ministry of Magic, even if I went to study at Durmstrang with her."
