409. Students from Beauxbatons
After dinner, Ramiro arrived in his car.
He walked into the room in a gesture of resignation, greeted Emilia and Michael, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Scott.
"Yes, it's rare to dress like this." He patted Scott on the shoulder and fiddled with the silver necklace he wore around his neck, "Looks like you're looking forward to tonight's event too." ”
He blinked, "Trust me, I won't let you down." ”
Scott glanced at Amilia, who was smiling very satisfied, and he didn't want to explain anything.
"This time it's to take you to the bar."
After getting in the car, Ramiro said.
"Thank me, my little cousin, for I usually pick up the girls by car at times like these."
"It seems that last summer's events didn't teach you any lessons." Scott complained, "And, don't forget, I'm still underage. ”
Ramiro seemed to remember the experience last summer, and his face changed.
"The girls are wonderful." He shrugged.
"And." He glanced at Scott, "Remember, no matter what people ask you, you have to say you're 18 years old." ”
"Got it." Scott answered.
He still couldn't get enough of going to the bar.
Although Ramiro kept patting his chest and saying that he would take him to play, when he arrived at his destination, the cousin took Scott to the bar and ordered two glasses of wine, and then quickly disappeared with his glass.
Fortunately, Scott didn't need him to play with him.
He was concentrating on tasting the first glass of spirits in his life.
Although the whole bar is lively, Scott sits alone in the corner of the bar, and has a peace of his own.
But it didn't take long for him to sense the magic in the all-Muggle pub.
Scott turned his head and met a pair of brown eyes.
It was a boy who looked about his age.
After the eyes collided, the other party took the initiative to smile at him, and Scott also nodded and withdrew his gaze.
But the other party seemed to have noticed something, and walked straight to Scott and sat down.
"Hello." The boy took the initiative to greet Scott, "I'm Lucio, seventh year at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
"Hello." Scott said, "Scott, sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
"Oh, Hogwarts!"
Lucio's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very curious about Hogwarts.
"Are you British?"
Scott nodded.
The two of them chatted about their respective schools, as Scott was also curious about Beauxbatons.
“…… Of course, we have alchemy courses, which are unique to Beauxbatons, after all, Beauxbatons is a school of magic and magic funded by the famous alchemist Nicol Lemay......"
Lucio's words weren't as good as Eddie's, but they weren't as good as Eddie's.
Scott simply led the conversation and he began to talk endlessly.
"Hogwarts is always mysterious, oh sure, your Headmaster Dumbledore is famous, isn't he, will he give you lessons? What is your most famous Hogwarts lesson? ”
"No, Professor Dumbledore won't give us lessons." Scott replied.
As for the most famous courses......
Scott was eager to answer that it was a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
At Hogwarts, the course is more legendary than any other course because of Voldemort's curse, and the professors change every year.
But it seems a little embarrassing to talk to outsiders.
"The most famous course, we don't have this feature." Scott could only reply, "Of course, the professors in every course are very good. ”
Lucio showed a disappointed expression when he heard this, and then carefully apologized, "I'm sorry, after all, Dumbledore is so famous, I thought Hogwarts would have some special, enviable lessons." ”
His words made Scott feel a little unpleasant.
"Hogwarts is a comprehensive school of witchcraft and wizardry, where young wizards of all talents can be taught the best."
"Hahaha......"
Lucio burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle Hogwarts."
He waved his hand and laughed for a few moments before stopping.
"Actually, I know you, Scott Trollope."
Lucio's expression became a little more serious, and the freckles on his face frequented as well.
Scott raised an eyebrow.
"I have relatives who study at Hogwarts and are my cousins. Of course, you may not know him, he is a third-year Hufflepuff House student. Lucio blinked, "I've heard him talk about you, and I've even seen pictures of you." ”
"It's my pleasure." Scott didn't show his surprise.
At the same time, he also understands why Lucio recognizes his identity as a wizard and takes the initiative to talk to him.
"But that's not why I took the initiative to say hello to you." Lucio pulled a golden card out of his pocket, "The reason I'm coming to you is because of this. ”
"Scholars Alliance?" Scott was really surprised.
Lucio nodded, "I found out, you're also a member of the Scholars Alliance. ”
Scott looked at him a few times, "How did you find out?" ”
"Don't you know?" Lucio was more surprised than he was.
“…… I'm sorry, but I haven't delved into [The Book of Prometheus] since joining the Scholars Alliance. Scott said calmly.
"What you said is true?" Lucio's eyes widened, and he looked at Scott as if he were looking at a strange flower.
Scott nodded calmly again.
"This is the Scholars Alliance!" Lucio emphasized, "You can get anything you want at [Knowledge Bank]!" ”
"What I want doesn't need [knowledge banking] to be fulfilled." Scott shook his glass, "I'm just a student, I want knowledge, and those knowledge Hogwarts books and professors can satisfy me at this stage." ”
"Maybe." Lucio shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
He clearly didn't agree with what Scott said.
Scott didn't refute either.
Because Lucio can't possibly know how powerful his teachers really are.
A Ravenclaw mentor for him is already stronger than anyone else in the Scholars Alliance.
"Okay, okay, I can tell you something."
Lucio began to liven up the atmosphere again.
"[The Book of Prometheus] has some interesting little features, such as letting you notice other people nearby who are also carrying [the Book of Prometheus], and you can spend some credits to increase your privileges in the [Knowledge Bank]."
"Thank you." Scott raised his glass.
He silently noted it down and decided not to carry the [Book of Prometheus] with him again.
"You're welcome." Lucio also raised his glass and touched him.
"Oh, Scott, my dear little cousin."
Ramiro's voice suddenly rang out.
"Why are you talking to a boy here, don't you see those warm and beautiful girls over there?"
He walked over and leaned against the bar, looking at Scott and Lucio with curious eyes.
"This is Lucio, a wizard." Scott glanced at him, "This is my cousin Ramiro." ”
"Oh...... Hello, Lucio. Ramiro came back to his senses, "That's a coincidence, Scott, you can meet the same ...... here Anyway, have fun, I'll come back to you later. ”
Ramiro patted Scott on the shoulder, turned and slipped away again.
"If I'm not mistaken." Lucio said, "Your cousin is a Muggle. ”
He seems to be tempted to give Ramiro an amnesia curse.
"That's right, but the wizard's relatives can know something about the wizarding world, and it doesn't violate the law of secrecy." Scott replied.
“…… That's true. ”
Lucio reluctantly agreed.
But then, he started gushing back to Scott Amway [Knowledge Bank].
“…… In short, I recommend that you make good use of your [Book of Prometheus], which will help you a lot. ”
Scott listened a little, but at the same time thought [the Book of Prometheus] was a nuisance.
After all, he didn't want to have much to do with the magical association of the Scholars Alliance.
After Lucio had said the same, Scott decisively changed the subject and discussed alchemy with him.
Now that Lucio has joined the League of Scholars, it shows that he is also a genius.
Sure enough, when it came to alchemy, Lucio's eyes lit up, and he turned into chatter again.
But Scott didn't care, and found this kind of exchange of concrete knowledge more interesting.
And Lucio must be very talented in alchemy, and can say a lot of things that benefit Scott a lot.
Although Scott did not major in alchemy, he also learned a lot of knowledge related to alchemy from Ravenclaw.
Lucio was visibly pleasantly surprised.
In short, the conversation between the two was much warmer than before.
"That's great, Scott, I've been pleasantly surprised by some of your perspectives, I should have known you earlier."
Before following his companion out of the bar, Lucio shook the golden card in his hand.
"I'll contact you again."
After Lucio left, Ramiro came to Scott's side again.
"Oh, Scott, you wasted a wonderful night talking magic with another wizard."
He looked at Scott with incomprehensible eyes.
"It's as boring and weird as calculus with me talking to a male classmate at a bar for a night."
Hearing his analogy, Scott choked on and didn't say what he wanted to say.
"By the way, can you take a taxi home by yourself?" Ramiro blinked, then waved at the other side of the bar, "You know, your cousin has some adult activities. ”
"Yes." Scott had no opinion.
He said goodbye to Ramiro decisively, walked out of the bar and took a taxi back home.
To his surprise, his parents hadn't slept yet, and Amilia, who was sitting on the couch watching TV, was looking at him with a gossip on her face.
"Oh honey, how did you get back?" Emilia stood up, "Aren't you having fun?" ”
Only then did Scott realize that she was actually ready for him to stay home at night.
This made him cry and laugh a little.
"It's not quite for me." He didn't want to say more, "I'm going to take a shower." ”
He could have told Emilia that he had met a wizard at a bar and had a night of talking about magic.
But because Ramiro's analogy made Scott a little speechless when he remembered it, he didn't mention it.
Maybe Emilia will have the same idea as Ramiro.
Scott found that many times the aunt and nephew were quite alike.
Anyway, Scott went back to his home life in the next few days.
He decided not to embarrass himself anymore, so he stopped following Emilia's persuasion and did not accept Ramiro's invitation again.
But his life was still fulfilling, as he could still communicate with Ravenclaw's portraits, and he devoted most of his time to studying.
Of course, he did not receive contact from Lucio on the [Book of Prometheus].
I guess it's because Mr. Bode is stuck on Scott's permissions, and maybe no one else can even search for Scott's name in the [Book of Prometheus] except for him as the referrer.
But things took a turn for the worse in late June.
On this day, Scott's [Book of Prometheus] received a "letter" from Bill Weasley.
Scott was surprised that Bill was also a member of the Scholars League, and only after reading the letter did he know what was going on.
Mr. Bode was planted at the hands of Bill's father, Mr. Weasley, and is now in prison.
Dumbledore told Scott to have his friends at the Ministry of Magic keep an eye on Bode, and that person was Mr. Weasley.
And Scott's referral to the Scholars League also became Bill.
But Bill didn't say exactly what had happened in the letter.
He just told Scott that Dumbledore would tell him when Scott and Dumbledore met.
In short, Scott's [Book of Prometheus] has finally opened up basic permissions.
The "letters" belonging to Lucio followed.
Scott glanced at Lucio's letter and found that the other party still wanted to exchange knowledge of alchemy with me, so he didn't reply for the time being.
He was still thinking about Mr. Bode.
Unexpectedly, the other party was planted like this, and Scott was curious about what was going on.
He would even love to go to Hogwarts to talk to Dumbledore right away.
But he held back.
Since it was Dumbledore who secretly attacked, it was not too surprising that the so-called Mr. Balde would be planted.
Scott didn't know what Dumbledore was doing now, and he didn't even care about the British intelligence, so he wouldn't act on his own.
He hadn't forgotten Luna's interpretation of the Thestrals' prophecy before the summer holidays, and if the Ministry of Magic did have to change its minister, it probably meant that something was about to happen.
After thinking about it for a long time, Scott decided to stay out of trouble, not get involved in anything, and return to England at the Quidditch World Cup final as originally planned.
Afterwards, Scott began to talk to Lucio.
Lucio then asked him a question.
