For Scott, each day of May has seemed extraordinarily long.

Because he had to live with great care, always paying attention to a mandrake leaf.

Not only that, but during the month he was busy collecting other materials for the Animagus potions—dew and the chrysalis of the Grimace Moth.

Among them, the chrysalis of the grimace moth he bought smoothly through mail order, but the real trouble was the dew.

The dew he needed had to be collected from a place where there was no sunlight or human contact for seven days.

Scott had to ask Lampo to lead the crows to help him find a place in the Forbidden Forest where the vegetation was lush and would not be exposed to the sun, and then go to collect the dew himself every morning.

When Luna heard about it, she also offered to help.

On this day, Scott once again got up while his roommates were still asleep, washed up carefully, and went to the common room to meet Luna.

"Good morning."

It wasn't long before Luna was jumping down the stairs.

"Good morning......

Scott looked down, at her bare feet under her robes.

"What's wrong?" Luna stepped barefoot on the carpet and ran up to Scott and tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go!" ”

Scott had to speak, "Luna, we're going to the forest, I think you'd better put on your shoes." ”

"Really?" Luna looked down at her feet and cocked her toes.

Scott just waved her hand to go.

Luna nodded, turned and ran back to the dormitory in a gust of wind.

By the time she came out again, she had obediently put on her stockings and little leather boots.

Scott nodded.

After that, the two left the Ravenclaw Tower and headed straight for the Forbidden Forest.

In the early morning, the sun was still shining, and a mist was still wafting in the back garden of Hogwarts Castle.

Scott and Luna weave through the twists and turns of the garden.

Scott remained silent with her mask on, and Luna kept looking around as she walked, observing the dewy flowers in the garden, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Not long after, the two of them walked through the garden and into the Forbidden Forest.

Soon after they entered the Forbidden Forest, Rimbaud flew over and offered to lead Scott ahead.

"Hello, Rimbaud." Luna greeted Rimbaud in a friendly manner, "I'm Luna, Luna Lovegood. ”

Rimbaud in flight looked at her, then at Scott.

Scott nodded at Rimbaud.

"Hello, Luna." Rimbaud responded.

Luna was immediately happy, she obviously liked Rimbaud and kept talking to him all the way.

Rimbaud was a little reserved at first, but after a while he talked to Luna.

Seeing that Luna and Rimbaud were chatting hotly, Scott didn't stop it.

In his magical perception, there was no one else nearby at this time, and he was not worried about the exposure of the talking Rimbaud.

Luna, who always has a lot of ideas, makes Rimbaud happy.

For example, she would ask, "Are you the king of the Raven Kingdom?" ”

Rimbaud was so proud when he heard this.

"You're really talkative, Luna." "Of course I'm not a king," said it with joy and modesty, "but a territory and a thousand obedient crow subjects. ”

Scott couldn't help but slander when he heard this, and the "subjects" all said it, and said that you don't want to be a king!

Although Rimbaud is too stinky, Luna is very cooperative.

"Then call you lord!" She said excitedly, "Lord Blackwing, how's it going?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Rimbaud couldn't help but let out an ugly laugh.

"You're so polite!" It pretended, "But I like this title!" ”

Luna also took the trouble to talk to Rimbaud about how to grow his territory and power, and strive to be promoted from lord to king as soon as possible.

Listening to the little girl's conversation with the raven, Scott couldn't help but smile although he didn't speak.

When they finally reach their destination, Rimbaud and Luna have become good friends.

Scott takes two glass bottles out of the shapeshifting lizard's pouch and hands one of them to Luna.

"Be careful." He reminded him, "Dew that has been in contact with humans cannot be used." ”

Luna nodded earnestly.

The two of them crouched down together and began to collect the dew in earnest.

Since the dew cannot be touched, they use their hands to pinch the roots of the plant and shake it so that the dew rolls naturally into the bottle.

Since Scott wanted dew where the sun did not shine for seven days, he needed a place where the sun could not reach from all angles.

Although the vegetation in the Forbidden Forest is generally dense, such places are not easy to find, let alone places that no one has touched.

Rimbaud and the crows searched for days before they found a small area where the sun could not shine at any time of the season, and no one would normally come.

Due to the small size, Scott and Luna were busy all morning, and only a little dew was collected.

If you drink it, it will only add up to moisturize your lips.

Fortunately, Scott only needed a silver teaspoon.

As he was leaving, Scott said to Rimbaud, "Let the crows keep an eye on this place, and we'll come back in seven days, and two more should be pretty much the same." ”

"Hopefully the weather won't change." Luna said, "If it rains, the dew won't work, right?" ”

Scott nodded.

He didn't have much to do about it.

To learn the Animagus, all you need is such trouble, or it takes some luck to succeed.

Luckily, he was lucky this time, and he collected it twice more, and he was able to collect the dew he needed.

In short, Scott finally got through the long month.

The ingredients are ready, and the mandrake leaves in the mouth are still intact.

With May 25 just around the corner, Scott was worried about something else.

He was worried about the weather on the day of the full moon.

This is another test of his luck -

He had to take out the leaves at the full moon, fill a crystal vial with saliva, soak the leaves in it, and let it receive pure moonlight.

If there were dark clouds and no moonlight that night, he would have had to find a new mandrake leaf to start over.

It also means that all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Scott, of course, didn't want to see that.

But when the day came on the 25th, Scott got up in the morning and looked at the continuous rain outside the window, and his heart was half cold.

But it didn't take long for him to suddenly have a flash of inspiration and soon relax again.

"Oh no! It's raining! ”

Just then, he heard Eddie's exclamation.

Scott's roommates all knew what he was doing during this time, and when they saw the rain outside the window, their faces changed similarly.

"Scott ......"

Milton opened his mouth and called out to Scott.

He seemed to want to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

There was silence in the dormitory, and at this time, even Eddie, who had always talked a lot, didn't seem to know how to speak.

Roger got up from the bed, walked up to Scott, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Scott couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his roommates all looked more unacceptable than himself.

"Scott, what's wrong with you?" Roger, who was closest to him, looked at him in surprise, "Are you alright?" ”

Scott shook his head.

"Scott, don't be upset, you...... You'll be able to succeed next time. Eddie stammered a little, "This time...... Forget it. ”

"Yes...... Oh, yes. Milton didn't have the confidence to agree.

"I'm fine." Scott whispered.

Now he has learned the technique of keeping his mouth as still as possible when he speaks.

Roger looked at him again and patted him on the shoulder again.

"That's right!" In an encouraging tone, he said, "It's not time to give up yet!" ”

Milton's eyes lit up, "Maybe the rain will stop in a while!" ”

"As long as you can see the moonlight of the full moon at night!" Edbi made a cheering gesture, "It must be possible!" ”

Seeing that they would be mistaken, Scott simply said, "It doesn't matter if the rain doesn't stop." Even if it rains in the highlands of Scotland, it will not rain in the whole of the UK. ”

Eddie immediately understood what he meant, and quickly continued: "Even if it rains all over the UK, it won't rain all over the world!" ”

Roger laughed too, "It's a bit of a hassle, but you can always find a place with moonshine tonight." ”

Scott nodded in agreement.

It was with this in mind that he had just thought of that that he relaxed.

"Are you going to ask Professor Flitwick for help?" Milton asked.

Scott nodded again.

After washing up and changing his clothes as usual, he waved his roommates and left the dormitory first.

When he reached the common room, he saw Luna, who was standing in front of the window watching the rain, running in front of him.

She said to Scott, "Although it's raining at Hogwarts, you can go and find a place with moonlight." ”

"I know." Scott said with a smile.

Luna also smiled slightly, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

Scott said goodbye to her and went straight to Professor Flitwick's office.

Without Scott having to speak, Professor Flitwick took the initiative to say when he saw him, "Oh, Scott, I was still thinking about you. ”

He looked out the window at the rain, then smiled at Scott.

"Seeing that you weren't too anxious, I knew you had thought of it." He said, "If you don't see the moonlight at night, I'll take you to a place where there is." ”

"Thank you, Professor." Scott bowed respectfully.

"Go ahead." Professor Flitwick smiled and waved his hand.

The rain never stopped.

During the first class in the morning, Professor McGonagall approached Scott and called him out of class.

She was relieved to hear Scott say what he was going to do.

She lifted her glasses and said to Scott, "I always thought you could think of this, but I was worried that if you didn't think of it, I gave up a month's effort." ”

Scott's good fortune seemed to be gone during this time, and the rain continued until the evening.

After dinner, Professor Flitwick approached him.

"I asked, it's not raining in London today." He said to Scott, "Let's go there first." ”

Scott certainly has no opinion.

Afterward, they made their way to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley through the fireplace in Professor McGonagall's office.

"It's been a long time, Professor Flitwick!" The bar owner greeted Professor Flitwick warmly, "Would you like a drink?" ”

"No, Tom, I've got something to do." Professor Flitwick said.

He led Scott through the crowd, nodding his head in response to greetings, and after walking out of the bar, he held out his hand to Scott.

He said, "Come on, it's too noisy here, I'll take you somewhere quieter." ”

Scott took Professor Flitwick's hand and was taken to a wooded area by the Professor's apparition.

"Here it is." Professor Flitwick let go of his hand and stepped aside, motioning for him to begin, "You know what to do. ”

Scott nodded, pulled out a small crystal vial from his pocket, and began to collect his saliva.

It took a short time, and when the saliva filled most of the bottle, he finally stopped, and then took out the mandrake leaves that he had been holding in his mouth for a month and soaked them in the saliva.

When the leaf finally left his mouth, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and opened his mouth to move his mandibles and made a few exaggerated movements.

Feeling the freedom of his mouth to be completely liberated, he lifted the vial and bathed it in the moonlight, receiving the pure moonlight.

It didn't take long for some disgusting salivary bubble leaves in the bottle to undergo some subtle changes-

The saliva became clearer, and the mandrake leaf stretched a lot.

After that, he took out the ingredients he had prepared and added them to the vial.

A hair of its own, a teaspoon of dew, and a chrysalis of a grimace moth.

When illuminated by the moon, these materials soon reacted more visibly.

Whether it was the mandrake leaf, or Scott's hair and the chrysalis of the grimace moth, they all slowly melted under the influence of the moonlight.

By the time all the ingredients had melted completely, Scott had a bottle of a colorless mixture that looked a little cloudy.

He hurriedly sealed the vial with a cork, and then sealed it with melted wax.

"Is it done?" Professor Flitwick looked at the small vial in his hand, "You must immediately put it in a completely quiet, dark place, and of course, the best thing to do is to bury it in the ground. ”

Scott nodded, and placed the vial into the shape-shifting lizard skin pouch around his waist.

"Then I'll go first, thank you, Professor."

He shook the silver snake necklace on his left hand at Professor Flitwick, and immediately urged the portkey as soon as Professor Flitwick nodded.

After a whirlwind, Scott appeared in the Raven's Territory.

By this time, the rain had stopped in the Scottish Highlands, but the sky was cloudy and there was not a trace of moonlight in sight.

The forest is exceptionally dark.

Scott first took out [amputated arm bone] to activate, then pulled out his wand.

"Fluorescent flicker!"

As he lit his wand, Rimbaud flew down from the top of the oak tree.

"Scott, are you done?" It asked with concern.

"Good evening." Scott nodded, and deliberately said in a mocking tone, "Lord Blackwing." ”

"Hey, hey."

Hearing this, Rimbaud couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, you might as well call me Rimbaud." It modestly said, "Who called you my best friend?" ”

"Alright, take me to the place you have found." Scott said funny.

He swung his wand to increase Rimbaud's size, allowing him to fly to a bare mountain cliff.

"There are no birds nesting here, no other animals living here, and it will always be quiet." It said to Scott.

"Okay." Scott said with satisfaction.

He jumped off Rimbaud's back, swung his wand to create a deep pit in the ground, then took out the vial and buried it in the ground.

After that, he sent a huge stone flying over and pressed against the small piece of land.

"So that there won't be any surprises."

He clapped his hands and climbed onto Rimbaud's back again, letting him send him back to the Forbidden Forest, before returning to Hogwarts Castle on his own.

Upon returning to the castle, Scott approached Professor Flitwick to thank him again before returning to the Ravenclaw common room through the secret passage in the professor's office.

"How's it going, Scott?"

Milton, who was working on his paper in the common room, immediately asked with concern when he saw him.

"All the best." Scott said with a smile.

His voice was a little muffled.

Milton gave him a surprised look.

"Oh, I'm not used to it yet." Scott rubbed his face, "I always feel like there's something in my mouth." ”

Milton smiled understandingly.

"I'll have to wait for a storm of thunder and lightning before I can collect the potion." Scott added, "Of course, there are rituals that must be done while waiting. ”

As he spoke, he took out his wand, pointed it at his heart, and chanted the incantation in his mouth, "Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus." ”

Nothing happened.

Scott explained to Milton, "While waiting for the storm to come, doing this every time the sun rises and sets, it makes me feel my second heartbeat." ”

"Thunderstorms?" "You shouldn't have to wait long, summer is coming, and this kind of weather is going to be more common," Milton said. ”

"I hope so." Scott shrugged his shoulders.

After saying goodbye to Milton, Scott finds Luna reading in the college library and tells her that the operation is going well.

"Animagus?"

Helena floated out of nowhere and overheard the conversation between the two.

"There aren't many Animagus from Ravenclaw College." Helena said, "You'd better be an eagle, and of course, a raven is good." ”

All are animals associated with Ravenclaw College.

Scott told her, "It's a peregrine falcon, and my patronus is a peregrine falcon." ”

Helena immediately glanced at him appreciatively, "Very good." ”

"Scott."

Just then, Ethan Cooper walked into the library and called Scott.

"Someone is looking for you." "It's the Weasley twins, and they're outside the common room door," he said. ”

"Thank you."

Scott thanked him and walked outside the common room door.

"Hi, Scott."

"Guess what we're here for."

Fred and George were standing in front of the window on one side.

"I guess your promo video is done?" Scott walked up to the two with a smile.

Fred and George smug at the same time.

"I have to say, we've made a masterpiece!"

"More perfect than your Eddie's work!"

"But we still need some small help."

"Like borrowing your small mirror and your big mirror."

Scott was stunned.

He said, "I see, you need to borrow my [magic mirror] for editing and post-production, and you need to borrow that big mirror for screening," he said. ”

Fred and George nodded first, then both looked embarrassed.

Of course, this embarrassed expression is a bit fake.

"You're right."

"But that's not all."

The two sang and harmonized.

"We want to borrow [the magic mirror] though."

"But we probably won't be able to handle the editing and post-production you're talking about."

As he spoke, the two of them clasped their hands together at the same time and said with a grin, "This matter can only be entrusted to you, respected Monsieur Trollope." ”

"Well said, well said." Scott deliberately smiled maliciously, "You guys actually trust me to hand over the Gryffindor House promo video?" I'm a Ravenclaw. ”

"Of course, Scott."

"Although you're a Ravenclaw."

Fred and George put their hands on Scott's shoulders, one left and one right.

"There is no friendlier than you among the friends we know."

"You're our Gryffindor friend!"

As they spoke, the two shouted slogans loudly in an enthusiastic tone.

"Praise the friendship, long live the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw friendship!"

The Ravenclaws who were coming in and out of the common room looked at them in shock.

But Fred and George, though not embarrassed or ashamed, gave the Ravenclaws a warm smile.

“……”

Scott couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Look, Scott!"

"We were all touched by the deep friendship between us!"

Seeing that the two were still cheering, Scott hurriedly stopped their playful behavior.

"Okay, I'll throw in the towel." He had to raise his hand in surrender, "I promise you. ”

Fred and George immediately withdrew the hand on his shoulder and high-fived each other.

Scott pouted, reminding them, "What about music? A good clip must echo the rhythm of the music. ”

"Don't worry." Fred gave a thumbs up, "We're ready." ”

George crossed his hands on his hips, "I have to remind you that there are Gryffindor students among the members of Scott, the Classical Music Club, and the Toad Choir. ”

"So what." Scott shrugged his shoulders, "A good performer and a singer are not necessarily a good composer. ”

"But we have a secret weapon!" Fred winked mysteriously.

George also stressed, "You're going to be surprised. ”

Scott wasn't too curious.

It was a Gryffindor house promo, and he didn't pick and choose the music they chose as long as they thought it was appropriate.

"Then bring the footage, is it in your magic camera?"

He just reached out and asked the twins to give him the footage they had filmed.

But Fred and George don't play their cards according to common sense.

The two folded their hands again at Scott.

"It needs to be kept secret until the promo video is made public."

"So ......"

The two of them set up Scott one on the left and the other on the right, and "hijacked" him to the joke furniture studio located in the secret passageway.
