467.Pain [Happy Lantern Festival]

Hearing Scott's words, Lucio was stunned, but Waldo looked up and laughed.

"Hahahaha......"

He held out his hand and pointed at Scott.

"What stupid are you talking about? Mud is mudblood, this is a fact that no matter what! ”

Immediately afterward, he suddenly changed his face and stared at Scott and Lucio with a sinister look.

"I'm trying my best to endure it, you filthy mudbloods will always appear in front of me, breathing the same air as me."

As he spoke, he nervously reached out and grabbed his neck.

"I only have one feeling, and that's nausea!"

Hearing this, his followers all laughed.

They all looked at Scott and Lucio with contempt.

"What the hell do you want to do, Waldo?" Lucio asked loudly.

Waldo scoffed, "What do I want to do?" You ask me? ”

The people around him spoke for him with arrogance.

"You should know that, Lucio."

"This guy from Hogwarts should honestly apologize to Valdo."

"Swear never to come near Miss Delacour again!"

"Oh yes, and don't be so showy in the Triwizard Tournament later."

"If we agree to these conditions, it's not like we can't let you go."

"Well said." "Otherwise, ......" said Valdo

He aimed his wand at Scott.

"You two should suffer a little more."

Lucio exclaimed, "What are you kidding?" Do you know the consequences of doing so? Madame Maxim is not going to give you the Girard family face all the time! ”

"Don't threaten me with that woman, she's just ......"

"Waldo!"

Just when Valdo was about to say something disrespectful to Madame Maxim, someone immediately spoke up to stop him.

A black boy stepped out from behind a pillar on the side.

He was taller than Valdo, but much thinner than Waldo, and looked like a bamboo pole.

But the moment he stepped forward, everyone else became quiet.

The black boy said in a calm tone, "It's okay for you to mess around, Waldo, because with the Girard family, some troubles can be easily settled." But if something is spoken, the Girard family will have no choice but to give up on you. ”

Hearing his warning, Valdo's expression distorted slightly, but he held back.

"Kari, so you're there too!" Lucio looked at the black boy, "Why don't you stop Waldo!" ”

"This kind of fighting and slapstick caused by jealousy can be easily settled by the Girard family."

Karry's tone was still calm.

"But rest assured, I'm not going to be involved in that. Lucio, I suggest that you, like me, just stand aside and watch. Don't worry about your friends, if they go too far, I'll stop it. ”

Hearing his words, Valdo turned his head to look at him dissatisfied, "Carry, do you want me to let go of this kid Lucio?" ”

But Kari doesn't please him like everyone else.

"You'd better not touch him." "Unless you want to offend Professor Russell completely." ”

Valdo snorted coldly.

"Get out of the way, Lucio." Waldo waved his hand impatiently, "For Professor Russell's sake, I can spare you." ”

"You ......"

"Alright, Lucio." Scott suddenly spoke, "You'd better be obedient and stand away." ”

"But......" Lucio looked at him worriedly.

"Thank you for your concern." Scott smiled at him, "I'll be fine." ”

Just then, Valdo winked, and two strong boys rushed up and grabbed Lucio's hands, dragging him aside.

"Let go of me!" Lucio struggled desperately.

But it's a pity that because he has been addicted to alchemy all the year round, he is thinner than ordinary people, and his strength is not great.

Although Scott could sense the movements of the two men in advance, he had no intention of stopping them.

It's also good to let Lucio go to the side first, lest he have to protect him after a while.

Waldo instructed the two, "Don't let him run and tell the professor." ”

"No problem."

"Don't worry."

The two people who grabbed Lucio hurriedly agreed, and then directly gave Lucio a petrification charm.

They then put Lucio next to Charles and returned to the group surrounding Scott with a smile.

Waldo laughed again, "Alright, that's what we had to do next. ”

"I have to say, it's been a long time since I've been so angry, and I've seen such a fool for a long time." ”

He looked at Waldo calmly.

"But I know very well that in the face of a fool who can't understand people and can't see the situation clearly, there is only one way to shut him up, and that is to make him feel real fear."

"Good." Waldo began to grit his teeth, "I've never seen a mudblood as arrogant as you!" Fear? Come on, let me see and see! ”

Scott smiled contemptuously at him.

"According to the plan!" Valdo shouted in exasperation.

Immediately after, four of the people surrounding Scott took out a small metal ball and threw it on the ground at the same time.

Four small balls shot a ray of light upwards at the same time.

Soon, the light began to extend left and right, creating a huge magical barrier.

Thanks to the small metal balls located in the corners, the magic barrier takes the shape of a standard cube, enveloping everyone except Lucio and Charles.

When it was all done, Valdo began to laugh smugly.

"Dumbfounded, mudbloods! Then you won't be able to use the Animagus to turn into a bird and escape! ”

"Hmm...... Can you build an alchemy item with a large magic barrier? Scott immediately became interested in the balls.

He carefully sensed the strength of the magic barrier, and then commented, "Nice thing." ”

"Of course, you've never seen anything like this before!"

Waldo shook his wand.

"Still, you've got a knack for making people angry. So I've changed my mind now, and even if you want to apologize and admit your mistakes, you will inevitably have to suffer a little and learn a lesson. ”

Everyone else pointed their wands at Scott in unison.

"No, I don't mean to apologize." Scott smiled.

"Oh? Do you want to defeat a dozen of us with your passable transfiguration? "Waldo is even more arrogant.

Scott shook his head, "It's not Transfiguration. For I am afraid that I will not be able to grasp the balance and take your lives by mistake. ”

He was telling the truth, whether it was the fire crow's line of fire or the swordfish's water blade, it could easily destroy a person's body.

And he'd tested it, and his own Iron Armor Charm could only block it for three seconds.

But Waldo and his henchmen seemed to think he was talking big, and they burst into laughter.

Scott laughed too, "Forget it, I'll show you something interesting." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Syllable.

In an instant, absolute darkness descended.

There was no light in front of everyone's eyes, and only pure darkness could be seen.

Immediately after, panicked voices came from the darkness.

"What's going on?"

"I can't see it!"

"What kind of spell is this!"

"Calm down, defensive!"

"Don't attack rashly, or you'll hurt your own people!"

"Armor protection!"

Crowds began to use defensive spells or activate magical items that could ward off damage.

"Huh."

Scott's voice rang out.

"Interesting, isn't it?"

"It's something I've studied privately, and it's the first time I've put it into practice."

"Because I wasn't very skilled, I had to spend time setting it up and listening to a mad dog bark wildly."

"By the way, I would like to thank you for putting up a magic barrier so that I can close the door and fight the dog."

"Kari! Help us close those balls! Valdo began to shout in a panic.

Kari's calm voice came, "I said I wouldn't be involved in this kind of thing. ”

"You bastard!" Waldo roared.

Immediately after, more panicked shouts came.

"Ahh

"What is this!"

"I'm stuck in something!"

"Let go of me!"

"What did you do!" Waldo shouted the loudest, "Hurry up and let go of me!" ”

Scott's voice rang out beside him, "I remember very well, that insulting word, you said it a total of eight times. ”

"Let go of me, mudbloods!" Valdo roared again.

"Nine times." Scott's voice was calm, "Well, I'll make you feel the pain nine times." ”

"Drill Heart Curse? How dare you! ”

"Oh, Valdo, of course I wouldn't dare, but it's not just the Diamond Heart Charm that can make you feel pain."

"You can't do it! I have a magic item that automatically activates defenses! You can catch me, but you can't hurt me with normal spells! ”

"Really, I don't believe it."

"If you touch me, I won't let you leave France alive!"

"Who knows, but until then, you'll be in pain."

"I said, you can't hurt me...... Ah......h

Valdo let out a sudden cry of pain.

"Damn mudbloods! I swear, I'm going to kill you! ”

"Ten times."

"Ah......h

At this time, Kari, who said that he was not involved, could not stand.

"Wait!"

But Scott ignored him.

"Ah......h

The cries of pain from Waldo rang out again.

"Stop." Kari spoke again.

"Don't worry, I'll stop." "But seven more times." ”

"Ah...... I won't let you go! ”

Valdo's shouting voice sounded less intense than it had just been.

"I'll lift the magic barrier!" Kari exclaimed, "If you don't stop, it won't end!" ”

In response to him, it was still Waldo's wails of pain.

"Five more times." Scott is still counting.

The other subdued guys remained silent and seemed to be completely suppressed.

Soon, Scott could sense that the magic barrier had been lifted.

But Cary didn't come over to rescue Waldo.

Because the absolute darkness that envelops everyone is still condensed.

"Ahh

"Four more times."

"Mr. Trollope! It's a crime! Valdo is a Girard, and you will face the worst consequences! Cary solemnly warned.

This guy is finally no longer calm.

Scott scoffed.

Don't install it?

Putting on a high-minded posture, thinking that Waldo's trouble with Scott was just a fight, and saying that the Girard family could be easily settled.

said that he didn't participate, and now he heard Waldo's cry of pain, but he couldn't stand still.

Scott hates people who pretend to be in front of him the most.

So he ignored Kari's warning while speeding up his movements.

"Ahh You're ......."

"Three more times."

"Ah...... I'm going to die......"

"Two more times."

"Leave me alone, ah......"

"One more time."

"Woo woo woo ......"

Finally, when Waldo's voice was only a whimper, Scott was satisfied with his goal.

Ten times.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I believe that this lesson will be remembered by Valdo.

"Remember, never say that word in front of me."

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Huh?"

"Uh......h I know...... Woowoowoo......"

"Scott!" Lucio's voice came.

Kari lifted the petrification spell from him.

"Calm down! Scott! Lucio's voice was a little flustered, "For that kind of guy, it's not worth sending yourself to jail!" ”

"Thank you for your concern, Lucio."

Scott said with a smile.

"But, who said I'd go to jail."

He snapped his fingers again.

The darkness that obscured the view faded in an instant.

"But, you...... He ......"

Lucio stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.

The dozen or so men besieging Scott, including Waldo, bound their hands and feet with iron cables that extended from the dirt beneath their feet, but they did not fall.

And the reason why they didn't make a sound just now was because their mouths were also firmly tied with strips of cloth.

Scott stood beside Waldo, who was also chained hand and foot.

Of course, Waldo's mouth was not tied.

"I didn't hurt this Mr. Girard." He smiled and patted Valdo lightly on the cheek, "Look, he doesn't have a single scar on his body. ”

That's what Lucio and Cary were most surprised about.

They looked at Waldo's tearful face, and then at his unstrained body.

Lucio opened his mouth, "It doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined......"

"What did you imagine?" Scott turned and walked towards him, "A bloody scene?" ”

Lucio smiled awkwardly.

Scott waved his wand, and the ropes that bound everyone turned into dirt and fell.

Without the support of the iron cables, Waldo's legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

He didn't say anything, his expression was dull, and his eyes were constantly watering.

When Scott looked at him, he cowered in fear.

None of the others dared to act rashly, not even to look at Scott.

Scott took a few steps forward and waved his wand, and the four small metal balls that had just formed a magical barrier flew into his hand.

"It's a gift for me to make amends."

With that, he put the small metal ball in his pocket and walked directly past Carry, who was staring at him, and walked over to Lucio.

"Well, I'll leave first."

He turned to Kari and said.

"Also, I didn't hurt anyone, I just subdued them and intimidated them. Obviously, this kind of fighting and jealousy will not put me in prison. ”

With that, he strode away.

I don't know for what reason, anyway, Kari didn't stop him from leaving.

"Wait for me!"

Lucio followed him.

"How the hell did you do that?"

He asked aloud with some excitement.

"There are no scars, why is he crying bitterly? And what is that darkness that obscures the view? ”

Scott said, "Remember that sailor's astrolabe? ”

"The one we bought together at the Zugala Moodi thrift store during the summer vacation?"

"That's right, there is a snow illusion hidden in the sailor's astrolabe, and the illusion is so real that it can even make people feel the real biting cold."

"I see! You parsed the Mariner's Astrolabe! The darkness and pain are caused by the illusion! ”

Lucio, who got the answer, was very excited.

"Damn, it's the same to buy old goods together, why are you so lucky!"

"Luck is something that comes naturally."

"That's not right! Can the illusions in Mariner's chart be presented in reality? ”

"No, it just pulls people's consciousness into an illusion."

"But Charles and I both saw that dark vision! Although we are not in there! And, how did you lay it out? ”

"Well, it's a secret."

In front of Fountain Square, Scott stopped.

"Well, sorry, I shouldn't have asked that much."

Lucio also understands that it is rude to listen to the secrets of other wizards.

Scott didn't care, he knew Lucio was just too curious.

"I'll go back to the tower."

He said to Lucio.

"Neither I nor my classmates will be leaving the tower until Professor Dumbledore shows up."

When it came to business, Lucio also calmed down, "You are right, I will tell Madame Maxim and Professor Rosell what happened." ”

"Then please." Scott nodded.

"It's okay...... That's right. ”

Lucio looked back.

"Watch out for Kari, he's also a pureblood, from the Kama family." He lowered his voice, "Anyway, only a few people know that Cary is a scarier guy than Valdo. ”

Dogs that bite don't bark.

Scott understands this.

Compared to the arrogant and willful Waldo, the calm and calm Kari will of course be more difficult to deal with.

But he didn't worry too much, and now, no matter what the situation is, he is confident that he can at least protect himself.

After Lucio parted ways in the plaza, Scott returned to the tower alone and locked the tower's door.

At this time, the rest of the Hogwarts delegation was eating breakfast in the hall.

"Scott, what are you locking the door for?"

Fred, who was still chewing food in his mouth, asked curiously.

"That's right, everybody's here." Scott walked over to the long table, "I want to apologize to you first for causing some trouble, and I hope you don't leave our tower." ”

Fred swallowed the food in his mouth, "What happened?" ”

Scott sat down in his chair, "I had a fight with a group of people, and anyway, I taught Valdo Girard a hard lesson. ”

"Oh!" Fred's eyes widened, "Cool! But why didn't you ask me for help? ”

"Shut up!" Angelina slapped him.

She asked Scott, "Girard...... Is it the guy who deliberately got his hands and feet in the process of making the translation headset? ”

Scott nodded.

Terrance Higgs of Slytherin said, "I inquired with Derian that guy is the nephew of Professor Girard in the Girard Alchemy School, and their family is very powerful in France. ”

"That's it." Scott said, "He's here because of Fleur." ”

"Oh......"

Several girls spoke at the same time, making a long "oh" sound.

"So you're fighting him?" Caccini asked, "To fight for Fleur?" ”

Scott replied, "Of course not, the reason I lectured him was because he called me Mudblood, ten times in total." ”

Hearing this, Roger immediately got angry, "That bastard! You should call us! ”

"Well done, Scott, that bastard should be taught a hard lesson!" Fred shook his fist.

The faces of the others were not good-looking.

"He's humiliating you." Cedric was also angry, "To humiliate you is to humiliate us all at Hogwarts. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Scott said, "Hmm...... In short, he was taught a bit badly by me. ”

"Will they come to take revenge on you?" Ethan was a little nervous, "What are we going to do, and Professor Dumbledore isn't here right now." ”

Scott said, "To avoid surprises, so I mean it's better for all of us to stay in the tower and not go anywhere until Professor Dumbledore shows up." ”

"That's all there is to it." Cedric said, "The tower has protective magic, and no one should be able to break in." ”

Fred said, "If anyone breaks in, we'll go back to Hogwarts!" I asked, house-elves will manipulate this tower! ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was relieved.

Scott smiled, "It's not that serious, Lucio was with me all the time when it happened, and he will explain the truth to Madame Maxim." ”

"Lucio?"

"He wanted to warn me to be careful of that Waldo idiot, but alas, while we were talking, Waldo acted."

And, in addition to Lucio, he has another preparation.

"Also, I've recorded the process."

Before the conflict began, he quietly acted as a surveillance bat, which hid in a nearby tree.

As he spoke, he took out the [Magic Mirror] and brought up the image that had been automatically stored.

Next, all of them went to the common room on the second floor and watched what had happened through the large mirror that hung on the wall.

Looking at the arrogant posture of Valdo's group of people in the picture, everyone couldn't help but be indignant.

But after seeing Scott do it, especially hearing Waldo's cries of pain, everyone was surprised and relieved.

In the picture, Scott finally harvests the spoils and leaves calmly.

"How did you do that?" Cedric couldn't help but ask.

Everyone looked at Scott with a look of wonder in their eyes.

"I've never seen that kind of spell." Ethan said.

Fred reached out and put his arm around Scott's neck, "Is it your new invention, but you never said it!" ”

"I didn't know you were capable of that." Roger also said.

Everyone thought Scott's dark illusion effect was amazing.

"It's the effect of the magic circuit, the ...... I parsed from a magic item."

Scott explained the origin of the illusion in general terms.

Of course, no one else wanted to know in too much detail.

After satisfying the curiosity, no one asks more.

Scott added, "Now that Professor Dumbledore is away, I'm going to contact Professor Flitwick." ”

He clicked on the [Magic Mirror] and wrote down what had happened, sending it along with the video to Professor Flitwick's [Magic Phone].

Ten minutes later, Professor Flitsch sent a communication.

Scott directly transferred the communication screen to the large mirror.

Seeing Professor Flitwick's face in the mirror, everyone felt very cordial and greeted each other.

Professor Flitwick said kindly, "Oh, hello, I'm relieved to see all of you here. ”

Scott took the initiative to apologize, "I'm sorry, Professor, but I caused trouble for everyone. ”

"I've seen what happened." Professor Flitwick said, "You're going a little too far, but it's understandable. ”

Fred immediately said, "No, I don't think Scott did anything too hot, Professor, those bastards humiliated him with vicious words, and he didn't hurt anyone!" ”

"Oh, it's not up to us to judge." Professor Flitwick smiled good-naturedly, "I've informed Professor McGonagall that she can contact Dumbledore. ”

He looked at Scott again.

"Scott, I remember Dumbledore also had the [magic phone] you gave him, didn't you reach him?"

Scott said, "Oh...... Dumbledore was always on business, and I was afraid to disturb him. ”

In fact, he only subconsciously contacted Professor Flitwick first.

Because Professor Flitwick was his most trusted professor at Hogwarts.

Professor Flitwick still smiled loosely, "It's up to Dumbledore to deal with this matter in the end, so you can apologize to him when the time comes." ”

Scott nodded, and immediately resent the content sent to Professor Flitwick to Dumbledore's side.

"What's going on, Philius, what's wrong with the students who went to Beauxbatons?"

Just then, Professor McGonagall stepped into the frame.

"Oh...... It's ......"

She spotted the students who were communicating with Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick whispered to her what had happened, and showed her the footage.

Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious.

"Stay in the tower, and don't go anywhere! Especially you, Mr. Trollope! She sternly said to the camera, "I'll inform Dumbledore!" ”

"No, Minerva, I already know what happened."

Scott: They all turned their heads in unison.

Dumbledore had already appeared in the common room where they were.

At this moment, Scott heard a sigh of relief from many of his companions.

"Albus." Professor McGonagall frowned tightly, "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle, and it will even affect the next Triwizard Tournament." ”

Dumbledore replied in a relaxed tone, "Oh, it's okay, Minerva, don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”

"I'll leave it to you, hard work, Albus."

Professor McGonagall finished and looked at the students again.

"I didn't expect you to be in trouble, Mr. Trollope, and I hope you'll always remember that you're the Warrior of Hogwarts!"

"I'm sorry, Professor." Scott decisively apologized.

"But I still want to tell you." Professor McGonagall's expression softened a little, "There's nothing inherently wrong with asserting your dignity, I just hope you'll be more sensible." ”

"I see, Professor." Scott said honestly.

Professor McGonagall reverted to her sternness, "I really hope you really understand what I mean. ”

"Don't blame Scott too much, Minerva." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Boys compete with beautiful girls to be their dance partners, which is also the vitality of young people." ”

Hearing him say this, Scott lowered his head.

The companions around him couldn't help but let out a few suppressed muffled laughs.

After the communication ended, Dumbledore turned to look at the students.

"Stay in the tower for now, Scott, you come with me."

With that, he turned and walked towards the staircase.

Scott got up, smiled at the others, and followed Dumbledore.

As he left the tower, Dumbledore said to him, "We're going to visit Lady Maxim, don't be nervous, you just have to tell the truth." ”

Scott nodded.

Dumbledore smiled again and said, "I appreciate your creativity, Scott, and I have to say that the embodiment of dark illusions is a great use, combined with your own magical perception. ”

"That's an attempt." "Of course, I learned it with the help of a Ravenclaw mentor. ”

Dumbledore said, "But that's your own brainstorm, isn't it?" I've talked to the portrait of Lady Ravenclaw, and even she's pleased with your wisdom. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You don't need to exaggerate your talent with an old man like me, Scott, everyone is optimistic about your future." Dumbledore shifted, "But I still want to warn you not to use the power that causes pain. ”

"I ......"

"Of course, I know, you didn't really hurt that boy. I guess the pain he felt was also a vision, wasn't it? ”

"Yes."

"I understand your anger, even I feel uncomfortable when I hear someone humiliate you with that word, and your friend who is an alchemist genius."

Dumbledore said earnestly.

"But you should remember your true purpose, you want to preserve your dignity, you want to defend your friends. Remember, it's never your goal to make others feel pain. ”

Scott understood.

"I'm sorry, but next time something like this happens, I won't use this method again."

Dumbledore said, "It's natural to be angry in the face of narrow prejudices, but I hope your clever mind can come up with a better way to deal with it." Pain does not bring understanding, it only brings submission, it breeds hatred.

Scott nodded again.

The two walked into Beauxbatons Castle and were greeted by countless twinkles in their eyes.

Clearly, the events of the morning had already been heard.

Everyone in Beauxbatons looked at Scott with fear and inquiry.

Even the girls who had offered to express their affection to him would begin to dodge their gaze when he looked over.

Only Fleur came up to her.

"I'm sorry, Scott." Fleur's delicate face looked a little haggard, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this." ”

"It's not your fault." Scott said.

He really can't blame Fleur for this kind of thing, not to mention, he also sent it to the door himself.

Fleur smiled reluctantly, "Madame Maxim is waiting for you, please come with me." ”

Dumbledore said, "Then you'll lead the way, Miss Delacour." ”

After moving away from the crowd, Fleur whispered another reminder, "Please be careful, Professor Girard is also in the rector's office, anyway, she is angry." ”

"Thank you."

Scott nodded.
