Scott looked at Luna, wanting to know her options.

But after thinking about it, Luna asked Scott a question.

"What would you do?" She looked at him curiously, "I know you don't want me to tell anyone about you. ”

Scott wouldn't have been surprised by her reaction.

He replied truthfully, "I will sign a contract with you to bind you to secrecy." ”

Luna didn't speak immediately after hearing this, but stared at Scott for a while.

After that, she nodded directly, "Okay, I promise to sign a contract with you." ”

Scott had a surprised look on his face.

Luna asked in a flirtatious tone, "Are you surprised?" ”

"I was a little surprised, indeed." Scott said.

Luna smiled again, with a slight smugness.

"The contract should be two-sided." She said briskly, "I can keep it a secret and not tell anyone about you, but you should also agree to my terms." ”

Scott raised an eyebrow, "Please." ”

Luna said seriously, "My condition is that you won't lie to me. ”

Scott was stunned.

Surprised, he asked, "Do you mean that if I don't lie to you any more, you won't tell anyone about me, whether it's before or in the future?" ”

"Hmm!" Luna nodded affirmatively.

"I don't understand." Scott looked into Luna's eyes, "It's not a fair term, it's good for me." ”

Luna tilted her head and asked suspiciously, "Does it matter?" You said we were friends. ”

Scott asked softly, "But are you the kind of person who would pamper your friends?" ”

"I'm not." Luna said, "So I'll be watching you." ”

Scott laughed, "But that means what I've done in the past can only be in the past, and you can't stop me from what I want to do in the future, and you can't even tell anyone else." ”

Luna nodded again, "I know. ”

"I can't think of a reason why you chose that," Scott said. ”

Luna lowered her head and said with some distress, "Because I know I can't stop you, and I don't want to see you imprisoned in Azkaban for those things." ”

When she said this, she raised her head and looked at Scott again, and said in an extraordinarily serious tone, "You said that we were friends, and I could see that what you said was serious. ”

With that, she held out her hand.

Scott felt her warm little hand grip the three fingers of her left hand.

Luna continued, "If you can't lie to me, I'll know all about you. If I can't stop you, I'll choose to get involved. ”

Scott looked at her serious expression and was touched inwardly.

He knew in his heart that although he confirmed that Luna was his friend, the attitude and dedication of the two towards their friends were not the same.

At this moment, looking at Luna's pure and translucent eyes, he was even a little ashamed of himself.

At the same time, he began to feel a bit of a headache.

It was a long time before he spoke again.

At this time, his voice was a little hoarse, "Do you think that when you become my accomplice, I will have some scruples?" Luna, I've always thought you were a smart girl. ”

Luna's hand gripping Scott's finger tightened, and her face smiled again, with a hint of slyness.

"You said we were friends." She was a little stubborn and said, "I don't think I've done anything unintelligent." ”

Scott frowned, already considering whether or not to agree to Luna's terms of the contract.

Because he really couldn't bear to let such a little girl get involved in his own affairs.

Luna seemed to see his hesitation, and hurriedly said, "Since you have said it, you can't go back." ”

She still looked Scott in the eye, "I'm ready, and I've grabbed your hand, you can't sneak up on me and make me sign the contract." ”

"Okay." Scott said helplessly, "I admit defeat." ”

Luna laughed again.

Of course, Scott didn't have no way to force Luna to sign the contract, but he was still a normal person after all.

In the face of malice, he can retaliate fiercely, and even increase the amount of ingredients. But in the face of good intentions, he can't repay with malice.

Especially in the face of such a friendship and care that is not mixed with any impurities, he compromised according to his own will.

"Let's get started."

Luna let go of his hand and looked at him expectantly.

Scott pulled out a piece of parchment from the shape-shaped lizardskin pouch hanging from his waist, then pulled out his wand.

He waved his wand, and writing slowly appeared on the parchment.

When the contents of the contract were fully apparent on the parchment, he used his wand to draw several intricate golden, glittering patterns on the paper.

When the pattern fades and Scott lets go of his hand, the parchment floats in the air, and the contract is complete.

He said to Luna, "Next, as long as we sign our names on the paper with our magic, this contract will take effect." ”

"I'll come first." Luna raised her wand directly.

"Don't think about it anymore?" Scott asked.

Luna directly waved her wand and used her magic power to leave her glittering name in the air.

[Luna Lovegood]

Watching her name fly and quickly cling to the parchment, Luna turned to look at Scott again.

Scott also waved his wand.

[Scott]

Two glittering names appeared on the parchment.

As the names of the two also faded and turned black, it meant that the contract officially came into effect.

Luna reached for the parchment, rolled it up earnestly, and put it in her pocket.

She jumped off the flower bed and looked up at Scott.

"I'll take care of it." She said.

Scott shrugged his shoulders, "I have no opinion. ”

Luna put the parchment away, took a few steps, and turned to face Scott.

"Now, it's your turn to answer my question." "You can't lie," she said. ”

Scott reminded her, "While I can't lie, I can choose not to answer." ”

"It's okay." Luna didn't care.

She pointed to her eyes, "Even if you don't answer, the little one who lives in my eyes will tell me the answer." ”

She blinked again, "It's a blur, though." ”

Scott put his wand into the wand sleeve that was secured to the inner lining of his robes, "Okay, what do you want to ask?" ”

Luna restrained the expression on her face and looked a little serious, "It's in the newspaper, I wonder why you did that." ”

"I told you so." Scott replied, "They all tried to kill me at one point. ”

"I want to know the details." Luna emphasized.

Scott asked, "Do you really want to hear it?" ”

Luna nodded.

Now that Luna has signed the contract, Scott doesn't have any scruples.

"It all started with Jacob, who was your rank......"

Because Jacob's bad luck involved Jasmine Travers.

The girl became ill-intentioned towards Scott and even killed him with the house-elves.

And because of the death of Jasmine Travers, Caitlin Rohr hated him.

Later, because the Yaxley family wanted to represent Travers's property, they promised Jasmine Travers's father to take Scott's life.

As for Elijah Caro, his ill will towards Scott is purely due to Caitlin Rohr.

Luna listened to Scott and never interrupted him.

It's just that her expression became confused again, and there was a mist in her eyes.

Scott has understood that this is a stress response that arises when she doesn't know how to respond.

But he didn't choose to avoid answering, nor did he hide his murderous behavior all along.

Luna, he thought, would be scared and walk away from him.

In this way, she will not be able to tell anyone about him, and she will not take the initiative to get involved in his affairs.

It was the best outcome that suddenly occurred to Scott.

In short, Scott recounted almost all of his experiences over the past two years.

It wasn't until the moon rose high in the sky that he stopped talking and looked at Luna calmly.

Luna's thin body trembled slightly, her expression was in a trance, and her whole person seemed to be wandering into the world.

Scott didn't say anything more, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Luna finally came to her senses.

The smoke cleared from her eyes, and she refocused her gaze on Scott.

Scott still stared at her calmly.

"It's tiring." Luna whispered.

When Scott heard this, he instantly felt the expression on his face become a little stiff uncontrollably.

Luna was still staring at him seriously.

"If you had made a different choice at the beginning, would you have been happier?" she asked. ”

Scott thought for a moment, still shaking his head stiffly.

"I don't know." He replied.

He also didn't know what would have changed if he hadn't killed Jessamine Travers.

Maybe it will reduce a lot of trouble, as Luna said, and have a better time.

There may be more trouble, because Jasmine Travers, though a little girl, is also an evil, perverse, and paranoid witch.

Of course, the clever Luna can think of this too.

"I don't agree with your choice, Scott, and what you're doing seems to me to be overreacting." "Only, who's to say that only my ideas are correct?" she said. Even I can't say for sure. ”

Listening to her words, Scott laughed, "Of course you can choose to live your own way. ”

Luna asked, "So, can you stick to your own ideas?" ”

"That's what I've always done." Scott said.

Luna nodded, "Me too." ”

When the two said this, Luna smiled again, but quickly reacted.

"I was almost convinced by you, Scott." She looked up into Scott's eyes, "But my dad once told me that we shouldn't see only the hurt and pain in our eyes, let alone the hatred in our eyes. ”

Scott asked her, "Do you think I only have those bad things in my eyes?" ”

Luna shook her head, "No, I can see that you have always had love in your heart. ”

"The difference between us is that your tolerance and love can be given to the majority, but my tolerance and love can only be given to a very small few," Scott said. ”

I didn't expect me to be able to say "careful eye" so freshly and refined......

He thought to himself at the same time.

Luna seems to be convinced by him again.

"What's so bad about that?" She said, "I'm the same, I don't love anyone more than I love mom and dad." ”

After saying that, she suddenly shook her head.

"Oh...... I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't know how to tell you what I thought. Her tone became erratic again, "I've decided that I'd wait until I've thought it all through before I talk to you about it." ”

With that, she turned around directly and left in a trance.

Scott stood still, just watching her back disappear into the flowers.

It was a long time before Scott was ready to leave the garden in the other direction.

Passing by several couples hiding in the garden on a date, Scott meets Grapeland at the exit of the garden.

This time instead of taking Thestrals for a walk, she led Hagrid's Hound Tooth.

"Good evening, Scott."

Grapeland still swallowed as he spoke, his teeth whimpering, as if he wanted to stay away from her.

"Good evening, Miss Graplan."

Scott stopped.

Graplan's full red lips curled, "Is there anything you want to ask me, boy?" ”

Scott looked at her confident, but didn't want her to be complacent.

"Not really." He shook his head directly.

Graplan, however, only glanced at her.

"It's okay." She smiled and said, "If there is anything you want to ask, you are welcome to come to me at any time." ”

"Really?" Scott laughed too.

"Of course." Grapeland nodded.

Scott stepped in and crouched down to touch the rough hairs on his teeth.

"Although the teeth are very vicious." "But according to Professor Hagrid, it's a useless coward." ”

Grapelan coughed suddenly, seemingly choking on her sage smoke.

She coughed for a few moments before she asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"Nothing."

Scott rubbed his head again and stood up.

He looked at Grapeland with a smile, "It's just that I suddenly remembered it after seeing the tooth and said two words of nonsense." ”

"Really?" The smile on Graplan's face became a little reluctant.

"Of course." Scott responded.

Grapeland spoke again, "Mr. B......"

Scott put his finger in front of his lips and stopped her with a silent gesture.

"Shh He still smiled, "I've already met Mr. B. ”

Grapeland blurted out in astonishment: "No way, you don't know who Mr. B is." ”

Scott said in a flat tone, "Mr. B is not the only one in the Scholars Alliance. ”

"You ......," Grapeland stared at Scott suspiciously, "who did you contact?" ”

"That's none of your business, Miss Graplan." Scott began to postur.

Grapeland looked at him for a moment, then said in the affirmative, "No, you're lying. ”

Scott laughed and didn't say a word.

Graplan, however, regained his composure.

"You're just a minor wizard, and I wouldn't be able to recruit you to the Scholars Alliance without Mr. B's guarantee."

"Aside from Mr. B and me, no one else in the Scholars Alliance has noticed you, a minor wizard, so you can't reach those people right now."

Scott blinked.

"Thank you." He said in a grateful tone, "Thank you for telling me two important pieces of information. ”

"What?" Once again, a stunned expression appeared on Graplan's face.

Is this lady really a Ravenclaw college graduate?

Scott was skeptical.

He held up a finger.

"First, when I said that I had met Mr. B, the reason for your rebuttal was interesting."

Graplan's face changed again.

Scott shook that finger.

"What does it mean that you blurted out that I don't know who Mr. B is, but you didn't say that I couldn't meet him?"

"This shows that in your subconscious, I did have a chance to meet Mr. B."

A look of remorse already appeared on Graplan's face.

Scott continued, "I think I did meet Mr. B, just on Friday, when I went to the Ministry of Magic for that trial, didn't I? ”

"So what?" Graplane barely managed to compose, "You must have seen a lot of people at the Ministry of Magic that day. ”

"That's true." Scott nodded, not elaborating.

Although he met many people, few were suspicious.

Especially if the name is so coincidental, there is only one.

He had just thought about whether to deceive Grapeland by just saying the name of Mr. Bode, but he still didn't do it.

Because there is a possibility of scaring the snake.

At this time, he saw that Grapeland had breathed a sigh of relief.

She had probably concluded that Scott couldn't find the real Mr. B.

Scott smiled again and held out a second finger.

"There's a second point I need to thank you for, Miss Graplan."

Graplan's brow furrowed again.

"Second, it seems that you didn't tell me all the processes that went after joining the Scholars Alliance," Scott said. ”

"As my guarantor, Mr. B's [Book of Prometheus] and authority in the [Knowledge Bank] are higher than mine, and he can even restrict my communication with others in the Alliance, right?"

This time Grapeland did not show any more embarrassment.

"That's right." She admitted directly, "I thought you had found out but didn't say it, but I didn't expect you to find out about it at all, this kid hasn't tried to contact others!" ”

Scott shrugged his shoulders.

He didn't really try to make contact with anyone, or rather, he didn't want to have a deep connection with the somewhat strange association of the Scholars' Union.

At this point, Grapeland apparently didn't want to say anything more to Scott.

"If you want to get more out of the Scholars Alliance, just reach out to Mr. B." She said, "If he's happy with you, your [Book of Prometheus] will get more authority." ”

After saying that, she waved her hand casually, and left with her whining teeth.

Scott also returned to the Ravenclaw common room to write his dissertation.

He saw Luna again in the college library, but the girl was holding a huge book and reading it carefully, and she didn't want to communicate with him for the time being.

After finishing his essay as fast as he could, Scott made his way to the common room.

It was found that many people, including Eddie and Roger, were gathered in the common room, still discussing the blockbuster news published in the Evening Prophet.

The Ravenclaw students are now divided into several factions for the discussion of this matter.

Some insist that the incident was the revenge of the Rohr family, others believe that the killer was another dark wizard who likes to kill, others believe that the murderer was another prisoner of Azkaban, and some even say that the Dementors did it.

Scott also sat down and listened for a while.

"Scott."

It didn't take long for Eddie, who was arguing with others, to find him.

"What do you say?"

He winks at Scott, trying to get Scott to agree with him.

Scott shook his head, "Wait for the results of the Ministry of Magic's Aurors' investigation." ”

But no one agreed with his words.

It seems that everyone has been disappointed in the Aurors' investigative abilities.

"What's the use of those Aurors?"

"There have been many incidents in a row without the truth!"

"I don't have any hope for them."

"Originally, I planned to become an Auror after graduation, but now I've changed my mind."

Listening to everyone's discussion, it suddenly occurred to Scott that it seemed that he had done several unresolved cases in the past two years.

So he said sorry to the Aurors inwardly.

That night, until bedtime, Eddie and Roger were still talking about related topics.

After a day of intense study, Scott and Milton, who had returned from the music room, were tired and just listened in silence to the lively discussion.

I don't know if it was because he felt that Scott and Milton were not involved, but Eddie quickly changed the subject.

He said in a somewhat deliberate tone: "Elijah Caro's two henchmen are having a hard time right now. It's the two guys who had ambushed Scott on the elevated stone bridge with him. ”

Hearing him mention the two Slytherin students whose names he didn't know, Scott became a little intrigued.

After all, they had all been knocked down by him before, and they were a little nostalgic when they thought about it.

So he accosted and asked, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"They have such a good relationship with Caro, oh like those two big henchmen from Malfoy." Eddie said with gusto, "When the news of Caro's killing of Rolle reached Slytherin, everyone in Slytherin alienated them. ”

Milton was surprised and asked, "What does this have to do with them?" ”

Eddie said, "I don't think it matters, but those Slytherins don't think so. ”

Without waiting for Scott to ask, he explained: "Although Caitlin Rohr was once a Ravenclaw, she was also a pure-blood, not only was Caro's cousin but also betrothed to him. ”

"I know that Carlo, who has done it to his relatives and fiancée, is guilty of a heinous crime." Roger said disapprehantly, "But it still has nothing to do with those two of his former followers." ”

Eddie said angrily, "Anyway, those Slytherins isolated those two guys because of this!" ”
