Facing the concerned eyes of Professor Flitwick and his two roommates, Scott said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I ran away, and I was worried about ...... just now."

"No, you made the right choice." Professor Flitwick interrupted him, and he looked at Scott seriously, "And the only option. ”

Although Scott thought the same thing in his heart, the guilt that came out of his heart was still involuntarily, and it was only when he heard Professor Flitwick say this that his heart finally calmed down.

Professor Flitwick patted Scott's arm and turned to Dumbledore and Moody to speak, "Oh, Albus, and Alasto, thank you for coming. ”

Moody said in a stiff tone, "No thanks, Philius, what about the prisoners who attacked you?" ”

"Escaped." Professor Flitwick was a little frustrated, "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep them. ”

At this time, Roger on the side took the initiative to speak, "It's all too chaotic on the scene, there are a lot of Muggles, and Professor Flitwick wants to protect everyone, so he let them run away." ”

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to us adults, and you three students will rest for a while." ”

He whispered a few words to Strauss, and soon a young Auror walked out of the office with Scott and the three of them out into a break room.

"Stay here, boys, until your professor comes and takes you back."

The young Auror gave a command, turned and walked out of the lounge, closing the door with him.

"Merlin, I'm stunned!"

Before Scott could react, Roger began to speak loudly at Scott.

"You know what, you disappeared too suddenly! From my point of view, I saw only your figure drowning in a green light, and I thought you were dead! ”

He patted Scott the shoulder as he spoke, visibly excited.

"Luckily, before my tears came out, I found it empty."

"I'm sorry." Scott apologized again, "At that point I didn't have time to react otherwise and had to activate the portkey. ”

"I gotta say, you did a good job!"

Roger laughed deliberately.

"It's a shame you didn't see the faces of those two guys at the time, oh, and Professor Flitwick who was really angry."

He gestured with an exaggerated expression.

"The angry Professor Flitwick is simply terrible, beyond imagination, those two guys were taught a terrible lesson, and they even managed to run away!"

Roger seemed to be talking as if Eddie was getting on top, and Scott didn't know how to answer for a while.

However, he was also a little curious about what Professor Flitwick was like when he was really angry.

At this time, Roger began to describe in detail the chaotic scene at that time.

“…… The Muggles were very excited at first, thinking that we were doing some kind of magic show, and they were rushing forward, and there were even reporters taking pictures. ”

"Seeing those two guys suddenly regain their appearance after being attacked by Professor Flitwick, those Muggles reacted!"

"And if it weren't for the muggles running around in a panic, Professor Flitwick would have been able to take down those two damn Death Eaters."

Scott listened to him and understood what had happened.

"I'm glad." "I've been worried that there will be other ambushes, and they are clearly coming at me, and I don't even know what to do if you get hurt because of this," he said. ”

And......

"This is the second time."

He said this in a calm tone, but his heart was definitely not calm.

Twice in a row, Scott almost put his friend in danger because of his own affairs, and Scott was already furious.

He even wanted to fight back regardless of it.

Although this impulse of urgency had been suppressed by him, the idea of fighting back was definitely not put down.

He will definitely make the Caro siblings pay a terrible price.

"Milton."

At this time, Roger began to turn to Milton, who had been silent.

"Don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"No, you came to Austria because of my invitation." Milton's voice choked up.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Scott came to his senses and walked in front of Milton.

"How could you think that? As I said, they're coming for me. ”

He reached out and put his hand on Milton's shoulder.

"I'm sorry that this incident didn't bring your concert to a successful conclusion. But I have to say that the concert part was really successful, and all the audience was conquered by your amazing talent. ”

"It's my fault." Milton shook his head, "It must have been because my news was published in the British newspapers that they would have thought of lurking in my concert for an opportunity, or they wouldn't have found you at all." ”

"You're digging the corners, those guys always find a chance." Scott was a little helpless.

Despite what Scott had said, Milton remained silent with his head bowed.

Scott looked back at Roger, who shrugged his shoulders at him with the same helpless expression on his face.

"Listen." Scott patted Milton on the shoulder, "This happened by accident, and again, they came for me, anyway, no one will think it's your responsibility." ”

Although Scott could only pat it lightly, Milton seemed to sit on the couch as if his legs were weak.

"I know what you mean, Scott, I'm just...... I was at the door for an interview, and I saw you drowned out in the green light of the death curse......"

Milton was visibly frightened, and Scott didn't know what to say.

Then he thought of Mr. Graves who had appeared in the concert hall and the lady who appeared to be Milton's mother.

With his mouth open, Scott didn't know for a moment whether he should say it or not.

Originally, he wanted to leave the matter to Professor Flitwick, the elder, to deal with it, but the accident happened so suddenly that Professor Flitwick probably didn't have time to talk to Milton.

"Do you have anything to say to me, Scott?"

At that moment, Milton looked up at Scott with red eyes.

Very sensitive to other people's emotions, he seems to sense something.

"It's a very important thing to me, but you don't know if you should tell me or not?" At this moment, Milton seemed to have the same ability as Luna, "Is that so?" ”

Scott smiled helplessly, but he wasn't prepared to lie and deceive Milton.

"Yes. How did you find out? ”

"It's obvious." "It's rare for you to have such a hesitant look on your face. ”

Scott gave him a thumbs up.

Milton's eyes kept on him, "Say, what's going on?" ”

At this time, he calmed down instead.

Scott was stared at by his unthreatening clear eyes, but he felt a lot of pressure.

That's when Roger interjected, "What are you talking about, oh Scott, I remember when the performance started, you found 3 wizards, who was one besides the Caro siblings?" ”

"Is it my dad?" Milton spoke straight to the point.

"Hmm...... Well, yes. Scott wasn't trying to hide it.

Milton's expression was complicated when he heard this, "It turns out that he really came......"

"You found out?" Scott asked in surprise.

Milton shook his head, "I felt familiar eyes, but I didn't see familiar people. ”

Scott was debating whether or not to mention Milton's mother when the door to the common room was pushed open and Professor Flitwick walked in.

"Are you all okay?" He asked.

"We're fine." Roger replied, "Can we leave, Professor?" ”

"Of course, you are underage wizards, so you can leave early." Professor Flitwick said, "I'll take you to the Great Hall, and you can go back to England via the International Floo Network on your own, and wait for us at Hogwarts." ”

Roger hesitated, "But Milton's ......"

Professor Flitwick said, "Go to Hogwarts first, Milton can come back when things are taken care of, and I'll send him over when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Professor." Milton quickly stood up.

Professor Flitwick nodded, led them downstairs, and watched the trio leave through the fireplace.

When the three of them came out of the fireplace in the atrium of the British Ministry of Magic, they woke up the young wizard who was on duty.

He was sleeping on his desk.

Scott offered to explain the situation, and the three of them went to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts through another fireplace.

It was the middle of the night, but Professor McGonagall and Hagrid were not sleeping, sitting in the Headmaster's office waiting.

"Mr. Trollope, Mr. Davis, Mr. Greaves......"

Seeing them appear, Professor McGonagall asked anxiously about the situation.

When the trio explained what had happened, both Professor McGonagall and Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're all okay."

Professor McGonagall said the same thing.

Now that she understood the situation, she didn't ask any more questions, and waved them back to the dormitory to rest.

"I've asked the house-elves to tidy up your bedroom." She said.

The three of them hurriedly thanked him, then left the principal's office and walked through the deserted castle.

Scott led the two of them to the prefect's bathroom for a good bath, and then returned to the bedroom to fall asleep.

"It's summer vacation, but I woke up in this familiar bed, and I had the illusion that the vacation had been evaporated."

When Scott woke up in the morning, he heard Roger's wonderful words.

Scott smiled, got up and put on his slippers, grabbed his wand and walked to the window, and aimed it at his heart.

"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."

Feeling the second beat of his heart in his body, Scott completed his daily routine.

After washing, Scott noticed that Milton was looking at him frequently, and he stopped talking.

But Scott didn't break it.

The three of them left the Ravenclaw Tower and went to the kitchen for a hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, they were summoned to his office by Professor Flitwick's Patronus.

"The incident has subsided, and the employees of the Austrian Ministry of Magic have eliminated the influence of that incident in Muggles." Professor Flitwick told them, "It's just that Dumbledore and Moody may still have to be in charge of negotiating there for a while. ”

Scott was a little sorry to hear this, and he wanted to talk to Dumbledore as soon as possible about the details of Mr. Balde's arrest.

If nothing else, he wanted to find the Carol siblings through Mr. Bode.

Elijah Caro's reaction to the Ministry's trial against Elijah Caro matched the contents of the letter Mr. Bode sent him, leading Scott to suspect that there was some connection between them.

Coupled with the rewriting of the memory of the defendant and the witnesses, Scott also suspected that such a difficult matter might also be inseparable from Mr. Bode.

Scott's insistence on getting revenge on the Caro siblings is that he must first find where they are hiding, which makes him unwilling to let go of any relevant clues.

Professor Flitwick said a few words, telling Scott and Roger to leave first, leaving Milton alone.

Scott knew this, and was relieved to give him the information about Milton's parents' appearance.

It was already noon when I saw Milton again.

After lunch, the two returned to their dorm room to find Milton sitting on the windowsill with his legs crossed.

He had a dazed look on his face, and he didn't even react to hearing Scott and Roger enter the door as they talked.

Scott and Roger looked at each other, neither trying to comfort him.

Because they all know that many things need to be figured out by the parties themselves.

Of course, Scott was keen to criticize, criticizing the couple who weren't sure if they were really divorced.

If it's a fake divorce, why would Mr. Graves do it?

Pretending to be separated, and then marrying another woman, but hiding your ex-wife, sounds outrageous.

In the end, it was Roger who broke the quiet atmosphere in the dormitory, "Oh, I don't know how long we will be at Hogwarts, I still want to go to the Quidditch World Cup." ”

Scott glanced over and saw that Milton was still sitting motionless, completely unresponsive.

After a long while, Scott finally couldn't resist walking to the window.

We're not sure if that's your mother, Milton. He said, "If it's really her, it's not a bad thing, at least you know she's doing well." ”

Milton's glazed eyes finally turned.

"Yes, I'd rather she live well and hide than live in a place I don't know." Milton said in a faint voice, "And I don't have to look for her anymore, I can pursue my dreams wholeheartedly." ”

Although he spoke, his eyes quickly turned red, and tears fell down one by one.

Scott hurriedly comforted him, "I don't think she meant to lie to you, maybe she had a last resort, maybe Mr. Graves didn't find her until recently." ”

He racked his brains to help Milton's mother make excuses.

"Thank you, Scott, but don't comfort me like that."

Milton said while crying,

"I'm just happy, yes, I'm just too happy."

Scott was silent again.

It's a poignant tone.

Of course, he could easily tell whether Milton's mood at the moment was really happy or sad, but he chose not to expose Milton's lies at the moment.
