As Scott had predicted, Professor Flitwick did not turn down Milton's invitation.

That morning, they received a letter from an owl.

The letter was sent by Professor Flitwick after he had arrived in Austria from England.

After receiving the letter, the three of them hurried out and picked up the professor in an old bar in the middle of nowhere.

Of course, this is a wizard's bar.

It was with the guidance of this letter that Scott and the others finally found traces of magic hidden in the city.

"Professor!"

"Professor Flitwick!"

"Oh, my students, hello!"

Obviously, they haven't been separated for too long, but when the teachers and students meet in this strange country at the moment, they seem to feel very cordial to each other.

The three boys even bent down to give Professor Flitwick three warm hugs.

Their meeting even drew onlookers from other Austrian wizards in the bar.

I don't know if it was because of shyness or excitement, but Professor Flitwick's face was a little red.

"Oh, I'm honored and proud." After the hug, the professor said to Milton with a look of relief on his face, "I asked the local wizards how remarkable your accomplishments are. ”

He didn't even forget about Scott and Roger.

"Of course, I'm also glad for your sincerity in your approach to friendship."

Scott and the three of them laughed, and Milton blushed.

Roger laughed and said, "Oh, Eddie's kid would love to come too, but it's a pity he's in the United States now." ”

"Of course, he's a good boy too." Professor Flitwick gave Eddie another face-saving compliment, though he couldn't hear it now.

Some of the things that were inconvenient to say after leaving the wizard's bar, so they chose to sit here for a while and chat.

Professor Flitwick talks about his experience of going abroad.

He entered the country through the official channels of the Ministry of Magic.

"You entered the country via Muggle traffic, and when the concert is over, it would be better for me to take you to your local Ministry of Magic to officially register, especially Milton."

Professor Flitwick suggested.

"You should stay here this holiday season, and it will be safer to register with the magical government."

He also asked Scott and Roger to go with him.

"It will make them sure that we are polite and friendly, and it is always inappropriate for a wizard to enter another country rashly."

Scott and Roger didn't have this kind of thinking at all, and after looking at each other, they agreed.

Professor Flitwick also happily recommended the city where the Austrian Ministry of Magic was located.

"I came here from the local area through Floo......"

Through the professor's description, Scott quickly became interested in the city as well.

According to Professor Flitwick, the Austrian Ministry of Magic is located in the small southwestern town of Innsbruck, 471 kilometres from Vienna.

It is a small town of ice and snow in the bosom of the Albis Mountains, with unique and beautiful medieval architecture in a glacial valley.

But Scott remembered something else.

"Speaking of which, I've never been to the Spanish Ministry of Magic, and I even went to the Wizard's Street in Barcelona this holiday."

"Oh, I forgot to remind you of that. However, I think it is necessary for you to go to the official registration to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. "Your parents have settled in Madrid, haven't they?" ”

Scott nodded, "I'll do it when I go back this time." ”

Professor Flitwick then focused on Milton and talked about his recitals, after all, the professor was also a music lover.

Unfortunately, Milton did not have much time, and he soon had to leave to prepare for the evening's recital.

This made him a little uneasy, and he kept apologizing to Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick had been happy and very tolerant of urging him to leave.

After that, Scott and Roger accompanied their dean on sightseeing around the city.

When he left the Wizard's Bar, Professor Flitwick did not use spells to lower his presence as he did in England, and even made the Muggles ignore him.

He used a slight transfiguration to alter his somewhat pointed ears and nose.

Despite this, when walking on the street, the professor, who is unusual in stature, often attracts the curious eyes of passers-by.

Professor Flitwick is at ease with this.

While sightseeing, he also taught the two students who accompanied him about the experience of going abroad.

"I don't want to use other magic in this strange country, because it may cause vigilance and misunderstanding among local wizards, and cause some unnecessary trouble......"

In addition to this, he also talked about many other things to keep in mind, such as how to deal with the Ministries of Magic in other countries.

It was like a lively and interesting extracurricular practical lesson, and both Scott and Roger listened to it with relish.

They spent almost the whole day in Vienna's Old Town and didn't return to their apartment in Milton until after dinner.

After that, they all changed into formal attire and rented a car to go to the venue where the concert would be held.

Milton's trusted teacher seemed to have a good face, and the venue for this recital was actually held inside the Vienna University of Music.

When Scott and the others entered, the small concert hall was already filled with young musicians.

After the three of them sat down, they first opened the track list in their hands and looked at it.

Then, Roger lowered his voice to speak to Scott and Professor Flitwick, who had listened to the others whispering for a while.

"They were all curious about Milton and why he was so appreciated by such a well-known musician."

"They'll figure it out soon." Professor Flitwick said proudly, "I always knew that Milton was a genius through and through. ”

At this moment, Scott suddenly frowned.

"A wizard has come in." He reminded in a low voice.

At the same time, he counted the amount he perceived.

"There are three wizards."

"Where?" Roger looked like he wanted to see it but didn't dare to turn his head.

"Relax." Professor Flitwick clapped his hand, "Maybe they're just music lovers too. ”

"There are two strange magics, but one is Mr. Grevis." Scott was surprised and said, "Milton's father." ”

As he said this, he noticed that Professor Flitwick and Roger were widening their eyes at the same time.

As people who understand Grevis's family disputes, they are all as surprised as Scott.

Scott pretended to look back casually, but instead looked at a strange-looking man.

Although his appearance had changed, he was sure that it was Mr. Grevis.

He seemed to have changed his appearance with a polyjuice decoction or something.

Moreover, Mr. Graves had clearly seen Scott and them, and even happened to be looking at their backs.

It's just that when the two looked at each other just now, Mr. Graves reacted in any way, as if he was seeing a stranger.

Scott also cooperated and withdrew his gaze.

But at this time, his mind was not calm, and he could even be said to be surprised.

The reason was not Mr. Graves in disguise, but the lady who sat next to him and behaved intimately.

Scott was sure that it wasn't Graves' current wife, Lady Zabini, because there was no magic in the woman's body, she was a Muggle.

This realization reminded Scott of another person, Milton's mother.

What's going on?

Or if that lady was really Milton's mother, then what the hell was the couple doing?

If this is true, then haven't all the efforts and tears that Milton has been giving all this time become a complete joke?

Even Scott would feel unworthy for him!

You know, Milton also said before that he wanted to be famous so that his mother could see his name wherever she was.

"What's wrong with you?" Roger touched Scott with his elbow, "Your face is ugly. ”

"I'll tell you later."

Scott replied to him, then scribbled a word with his finger on Professor Flitwick's hand.

Professor Flitwick cocked his fingers knowingly, and silently cast a spell.

Scott leaned into his ear and recounted his findings and speculations.

"Don't react yet, Scott, your guess isn't necessarily right." Professor Flitwick said calmly, "Of course, when Milton has successfully finished his recital, I will go and talk to Mr. Grevis." ”

It seems that this is the only way to go.

Scott also looked forward to Milton's first recital.

He nodded, agreeing with the professor.

Professor Flitwick moved his fingers and removed the spell.

Although Roger on the side looked at Scott curiously, he was also smart enough not to ask anything more.

It didn't take long for the recital to begin.

Without superfluous introductions, Milton, dressed in a formal suit, walked onto the stage alone.

He bowed to the audience, then sat down and began to play.

The deep sound of the cello sounded, and the melodious timbre instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It's the Ravenclaw Impression.

Scott thought that maybe he was too familiar to react, but he clearly saw that many people at the scene had a look of surprise on their faces.

Milton's performance was nothing short of spectacular.

Scott quickly retracted his thoughts, and immediately immersed himself in the familiar music.

As soon as the song was finished, the concert hall burst into applause.

Milton, who was on stage, opened his eyes and seemed a little surprised and a little at a loss when he saw such a reaction.

But in the midst of everyone's encouraging gazes, a smile appeared on his face.

He stood up and bowed, sat down again and began to play the second piece.

Scott, who was sitting in the audience, also smiled.

No one, he thought, would wonder why the famous musician admired Milton.

It's all just because this kid on stage, who looks a little thin and a little immature, is an out-and-out genius, and that's the only reason.

His playing has become so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention his creative talent.

Milton played one song after another, and at the end of each song, the concert hall burst into applause, and even more enthusiastic applause each time.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of the musicians, this recital did not have the demonic sounds that Milton had in the past that were beyond ordinary people's comprehension.

At the same time, the uneasiness and confusion on Milton's face had completely disappeared, and he was completely immersed in his musical world.

He was playing a tune called "Secret Mother's Love".

The cello sounded like a cry.

Restlessness, attachment, gratitude, longing, and love.

Milton completely opened his heart through music, and the audience was moved.

But perhaps because of something still in his heart, Scott couldn't fully immerse himself in appreciation.

He turned his head again, as if casually, to Mr. Grevis's side.

Mr. Grevis, with an unfamiliar face, was still sitting upright, and there seemed to be no expression on his face.

But the lady sitting next to him was trembling and tearful at the moment.

Scott withdrew his gaze as he felt a sour nose.

He was a little stunned, before again, he had never known that he still had such a moment of empathy.

Maybe that's the charm of music, he thought.

With a blink, Scott suppressed the emotions that were surging through him.

Looking at Milton again under the light with his eyes closed and immersed in the performance, Scott's emotions were extremely complicated.

Whatever the couple's struggles were, he thought they must have chosen the wrong way.

Scott didn't even know what to do with it.

He didn't want to get involved in other people's chores, but Milton was his friend, and if the Greaves didn't want to tell the truth, would he just watch Milton stay in the dark?

Whatever you do, it seems to be cruelty to Milton.

Scott, who has always been decisive, is in a rare dilemma.

Just then, Professor Flitwick clapped his hand.

Scott turned his head to see Professor Flitwick's wise and gentle eyes, and couldn't help but calm down.

He couldn't help but think that it was great to have such a reliable elder present at this time.

Even though he had memories of his past and present lives, he was still too young compared to Professor Flitwick.

Milton played a total of 10 pieces of his own composition in this recital, and when the last piece of "Hogwarts" was played, Milton stood up and bowed deeply, and the audience immediately erupted in thunderous applause.

Even the entire audience stood up, and many looked at Milton as if they were admiring a treasure.

He has had the best success.

Clapping vigorously, Scott couldn't help but worry while rejoicing for his friend.

At the end of the game, Scott turned back again.

He saw Mr. Graves taking the lady by the arm and walking out.

The lady who had been crying all the time was still looking back.

And Milton was already surrounded by a group of enthusiastic young musicians at the moment and did not notice them.

"They're leaving."

Scott reminded with some anxiousness.

But it was useless to be anxious, as most of the audience was exiting in an orderly manner, and Professor Flitwick could not even see who he was referring to.

They don't like crowding, so they can only walk out at the speed of the crowd.

When they finally walked out of the concert hall, Mr. Graves and the lady were gone, and even Scott's magical sense was nowhere to be seen.

"It's okay, anyway, Mr. Graves still works at the Ministry of Magic." Professor Flitwick said this, but his face was a little unsightly.

At this moment, Scott suddenly realized that two other strange wizards who had not been concerned about distraction were gradually approaching him.
