520. The Disappearing Cabinet that was hidden

"I'm here I go."

Milton gripped his bow and nodded.

"The piece I played was Schumann's Cello Concerto in A minor."

Then, the sound of the rich and full piano sounded.

Scott got into the music faster than ever.

Rather than choosing a movement composed by himself, Milton played a masterpiece by the German composer Schumann.

This cello concerto has no showmanship passages, but is a sensitive and delicate inner outpouring from beginning to end.

There is a visceral elegance, full of poetry.

But it's not the music that's important, it's the magic.

When Scott immersed himself in Milton's playing, he quickly sensed the difference.

There is a slight magic that spreads through the air with the sound of the piano.

Soon, Scott noticed a slight change in his state.

The fatigue of the afternoon train ride was gradually decreasing, and at the same time, his mind was becoming clearer.

The feeling of clarity of thought is somewhat similar to the effect of wearing the [Ravenclaw crown], only many times more slightly.

Is this Milton's musical magic?

Scott looked at Milton in surprise.

At this time, Milton was closing his eyes lightly, immersed in his own performance.

It's remarkable.

Scott thought.

This is simply an excellent "auxiliary"!

Although the magic of music has little effect at the moment, unlike the crown, which can only be worn by one person, music can be heard by many people at the same time.

What's more, this is just the starting point for Milton.

He's carved his own path, and Scott can see that Milton's musical magic will change the way many people think about magic.

As Scott pondered this, the effects of the musical magic became a little weaker.

But when he cleared his distractions and continued to immerse himself in the performance, the effect began to intensify again.

Milton didn't play the whole movement, but even when he finished the first movement, the music stopped, and the effect of the musical magic didn't immediately go away.

Scott waited for a moment, knowing that the feeling of clarity was gone, but neither did the tiredness that had been removed.

"That's amazing, Milton."

He applauded along with Eddie and Roger.

"yes, how the hell did you do that?" Eddie looked at Milton in amazement, "That's amazing! ”

"Thank you."

Milton smiled, with a look of satisfaction.

"I told you, Eddie." He told Eddie, "Just like we cast a spell, use emotions to drive the magic, and let the magic affect reality." ”

Eddie looked confused, "Yes, you said it, but I still think it's neither scientific nor magical!" ”

Roger smiled and said, "Come on, Eddie." You don't know music, why do you have to figure this out! ”

Skod nodded, "We just need to know that Milton is a real genius, and that's enough. ”

"Thank you for encouraging me."

Milton said with some embarrassment.

"But my musical magic still needs a lot of improvement, and it's still too weak."

"It's already great."

"I never thought you'd be able to fulfill the assumptions Scott made back then."

"I thought he was just talking nonsense."

"Hey!"

Scott was a little dissatisfied.

Although he said that more to encourage Milton, it wasn't nonsense, okay?

With Medea's demonstration, he knew that he could also use music to cast magic to encourage Milton to try it.

"You can give me some advice." Milton said again.

Roger scratched his head, "Suggestion? But we don't know music. Do you want to make the magic of music stronger and stronger through practice? ”

"I guess that's not the advice Milton wants to hear." Eddie gave him a disdainful look.

Scott asked Milton, "Your idea is to use different music to achieve different emotions to different effects?" ”

"You're right." Milton nodded.

Scott thought for a moment, "My suggestion is to pick the best tracks to focus on according to different needs. ”

Milton nodded again, "What else?" ”

"It's better to be able to tell the difference between friend and foe."

Scott conceived it from a game perspective.

"What would you do if there was a war, like the one when the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts last semester?"

"Now your music works for everyone who hears it."

"But what if you only add buffs to your own people, or only interfere with enemies?"

"Then your abilities can interfere with the course of the entire war to a certain extent."

"It's ......," Milton hesitated, "I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." ”

"Oh, of course, it's hard."

Scott stood up.

"But you can develop the genius Milton of musical magic on your own, and I'm sure you'll do it."

Roger and Eddie also spoke up to encourage them.

"Scott is right, we're all bullish on you, Milton!"

"You have to believe in yourself, yes!"

The three of them poured a large bowl of chicken soup for the soul into Milton, which made Milton dizzy.

"I ...... I'll try hard! ”

He clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with the light of struggle.

And just like that, the life of the new school year begins.

From the next day, Scott was busy.

Or rather, the students who went to Beauxbatons last school year were a little busy.

After all, they had missed a whole year of Hogwarts classes, and it would take them some time to get used to.

Although there are classes in Beauxbatons, after all, they are studying with different professors, and the learning pace and curriculum of the two schools are a little different, which needs to be adjusted by themselves.

In addition to his classes, Scott also needs to devote more of his time to the study of the two super-magicals, "Gangenir" and "Yggdrasil".

With the [Eye of Odin], all of this research is done in secret in space.

and the day before school started, he sensed that Malfoy Jr. was haunting Tumbledown Alley, and Scott kept it in mind.

Not just out of curiosity, but because he promised Dumbledore to help them get information about the Death Eaters and Voldemort.

Anyway, after school started, Scott sent Rimbaud to Tumbledown Alley with a flock of crows to investigate.

It could be that there are too many people coming and going in Tumbledown Alley every day, or maybe the Death Eaters are very cautious about their activities, but so far, Rimbaud has found no useful clues.

However, because of the investigation, Scott remembered a plot in the "original book" that he had forgotten.

In the "original book", Malfoy Jr. was not expelled from Hogwarts and received a mission from Voldemort to kill Dumbledore.

Eventually, he introduced several Death Eaters to Hogwarts Castle by restoring a vanishing cabinet hidden in the Room of Requirement.

There are two Vanishing Cabinets, one at Hogwarts and one at "Bogin? Bock Store", the two can be connected.

Although Bock had been assassinated by Scott, the dark magic item shop was still in operation.

Thinking of this, Scott suddenly felt that it would be safer to completely destroy the vanishing cabinet.

So on a Saturday afternoon in the first week of school, he walked into the room where something was hidden in the Room of Requirement.

It's just that......

Looking at the vast room full of clutter, Scott had a headache.

It's not easy to find that cabinet inside.

Not to mention, Scott and they have had a big fight here in the past.

Because a wand that drains mana and automatically releases the Hurricane Curse has taken control of Fred, the farce has made the messy room even more messy.

After all this time, the mess here has not improved in any way.

Because it's just a place to throw things, even the hard-working house-elves won't come here to tidy up.

For convenience, Scott directly transformed into a peregrine falcon and flew around the room a few times.

Unexpectedly, he didn't find the vanishing cabinet.

Then he searched carefully for a long time, but still did not find it.

This alarmed Scott.

He tried arithmetic divination, but in the end he didn't get an accurate answer.

To be on the safe side, he called all the members of the Tower of Babel, including Helena.

"Oh, Scott, what are your plans?"

"Can we go and recruit new members?"

Fred and George asked with some excitement.

They seem to be impatient to discover the Tower of Babel.

"We want Angelina to join us."

"And Arya."

Oh, I want their girlfriends to join in and play together.

"You can talk to them about our goals." "If they're genuinely interested, we'd certainly welcome it," Scott said. ”

"Oh, we will."

"But today there is something more important."

Scott talked about what he had called them in.

"Have you heard of the Vanishing Cabinet?"

"We've heard about it!"

It was still the twins who were most interested in alchemy that spoke first.

Without Scott opening his mouth, they took the initiative to explain to the others what the Vanishing Cabinet does.

Helena said, "Hogwarts does have a vanishing cabinet, but I remember it was broken, and the other didn't know where. ”

"I've seen it in the Room of Requirement, in that room where things are hidden."

Scott gives what he knows.

As he spoke, he took out the [Magic Mirror] and clicked on a "photo".

"I photographed it when I asked the crows to go to Tumbledown Alley to investigate."

He pointed to a place in the photo.

"I suspect the other Vanishing Cabinet is Bogin? This one in the Bock store. ”

"Oh, Tumbledown Alley!" Eddie reacted immediately, "It's because you sensed Malfoy's magic fluctuations that day!" ”

Roger asked, "You're worried about the Death Eaters invading Hogwarts through the Vanishing Locker?" ”

Scott nodded.

"If someone fixes it, they can sneak in."

"It's just a sudden thought, but to be sure, I'm going to destroy the vanishing cabinet hidden in the Room of Requirement, but I can't find it."

Luna blinked, "Did someone hide it secretly?" ”

"I've done it with arithmetic." "The answer was a bit vague, and I can only be sure that the Vanishing Cabinet is still in Hogwarts Castle." ”

Milton understood what he meant, "But the castle is so large that it's hard to pinpoint where it is. ”

"Oh, so you mean, start the scavenger hunt."

"Find the place where the Vanishing Cabinet is!"

The twins said excitedly.

"We loved this event!"

"Let's go to the room of the Room of Requirement first, and then look for it." Scott said, "Maybe I didn't look too carefully, because there are so many things there." ”

After deciding, the group went to the Room of Request and entered the huge room.

"Let's find it separately!"

"It's a big job!"

Several of them separated, each from a different direction, and began to rummage through the debris.

Helena was the quickest to move because she came and went freely, and was responsible for helping the others determine if the cabinet they found was the one that had disappeared.

"Oh, I've found another cabinet!"

"Not this."

"Is that it?"

"It's not!"

More than an hour passed, and the members of the Tower of Babel were once again together.

The result of everyone's joint search is still nothing.

There are many cabinets of various styles and colors in the house, but unfortunately none of them are disappearing cabinets.

"Looks like someone has hidden the Vanishing Cabinet." Helena's expression became much more serious, "Your worries are indeed possible. ”

"Let's tell the professors about it." Milton said with some concern.

"Professor Dumbledore needs to be informed."

Scott takes out the [Magic Mirror] again.

"What's more, if we can find the Vanishing Cabinet, we'll be able to take the initiative, and maybe find the Death Eaters' current stronghold."

As he spoke, he used [Magic Mirror] to send out a communication.

Soon, the figure of a raven appeared in the mirror.

"Oh, it's Rimbaud!" Luna greeted the mirror, "Hello, Lord Blackwing! ”

"Oh, hello, Luna!"

"How's it going over there?" Scott asked directly, "Has the Vanishing Cabinet been bought?" ”

"Not yet." Rimbaud replied.

"Keep watching."

"Okay."

"Take the initiative to notify me of any movement."

Scott hung up the comms.

Fred asked him, "Are you thinking about ......?"

"That's what you think."

"If Bogin? The Vanishing Cabinet in the Bock Store was bought, and we found another one hidden at Hogwarts, so we could sneak up on their stronghold before they could move. ”

"Of course you can't do anything about it." Helena emphasized, "Even if you find the Vanishing Cabinet, you can't try it, it's too dangerous!" ”

Skoth nodded, "Of course, raiding the Death Eater stronghold is the job of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Oh, hurry up and get moving." Fred urged, "We must find the hidden vanishing cabinet as soon as possible." ”

Scott turned to Helena and asked, "Is there a way to quickly check the rest of the rooms in the Room of Requirement?" There are so many variations here, and no one knows if they can try to summon all the rooms. ”

Helena nodded, "Leave it to me." ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

Scott said to the others.

"We'll be in charge of looking for the rest of the castle, and I'll use [the Magic Mirror] to tell Dumbledore about it."
