Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Christmas finally came as promised.

For ordinary children, Christmas should be a very happy day, because on this day they can not only eat delicious food, but also receive favorite gifts.

But for Mike, Christmas is not so pleasant.

There is no other reason, he has too many friends.

And the more friends you have, the more gifts you will receive and give.

This is not to say that Mike is stingy and feels sorry for the little money.

The main reason is that it is just too cumbersome.

But fortunately, there are two more house elves around Mike now, Winky and Dobby. When Mike recalled these two, the work on Christmas gifts became much easier.

In terms of gifts, Dumbledore's gift was a blank pick-up list from the Duke of Bees candy store. Mike had already deposited a large sum of Galleon in the Duke of Bees, and Dumbledore could freely write on it the candies he wanted.

Mike has prepared a lot of this kind of delivery list, which is specially used as Christmas gifts, and almost all of Mike's friends who don't know what to give have received it.

It's just that their lists are different from Dumbledore's list. Dumbledore's is the only list without a limit, while others have a maximum limit of 10 Galleons.

Again, it's not that Mike is stingy, it's that Mike is afraid that his friends will get tooth decay if they eat too much candy.

In terms of gifts, Mike's most thoughtful ones were those given to Cedric and Professor Flitwick.

Among them, the gift for Cedric was naturally the ring. Mike had people add a lot of light and shadow image magic to it as planned, and the sound and light effects were absolutely full.

The gown for Professor Flitwick was a three-cornered hat that he made himself after imitating the lucky hat, and his initials were engraved on the brim, for which Mike learned how to make a hat.

As for the gift Mike received, there is really nothing to say.

Except for the gifts from a few people who knew Mike well, Dobby and the others disposed of their Christmas gifts without even touching them.

There's no way around it. Nowadays, many pure-blood families want Mike's life. Who knows if there will be a killing spell coming out of those gifts after they are opened.

Among the gifts that Mike personally opened, the one that satisfied Mike the most was Penello's gift.

It was a scarf she knitted herself.

This scarf is not exquisite, and even a little fluffy after wearing it, but Mike still cherishes it very much.

Because Penello spent a lot of effort on it, which can be seen from her messy hands that were pricked by needles.

Please don't ask me why Penello can pierce his hands even when weaving a scarf. Mike doesn't know. It can only be said that Penello really has no talent in this area.

In the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike and Penello, who had been busy for a day, were chatting with the rest of the Masonic Society members who had confirmed to attend the dance.

Among them, Soraka became Benjamin's dance partner as a matter of course. Mike was not surprised at all about this. All the things that should be done have been done.

Franklin's dance partner was Hillary, which surprised many people. After all, Franklin himself is not weak, and with the status of a member of the Quidditch school team, there are quite a lot of little girls who like him.

On the other hand, Hillary's impression is similar to Hermione, who is also a nerd, often wearing a pair of dull glasses and hiding in the corner of the library with a lot of books.

Everyone was very surprised that the two were able to be together, and that Franklin was still under the control of Hillary. Even many girls who were rejected by Franklin wondered whether Hillary gave Franklin a love potion.

However, Mike still supports the emotional development of these two people, let's not talk about anything else,

Just saying the names of these two people is very interesting, one is named Clinton and the other is named Hillary.

This is really...

As for Victor, he is still studying his glorious evolution in the secret territory of the Freemasonry. According to the information provided by Benjamin, this guy seems to have started experimenting on humans recently.

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Benjamin, are you saying that Victor has already started experimenting on humans?"

Benjamin, who was kissing me with Soraka, immediately turned his head and said:

"That's right, that's what he told me when I delivered him food last time."

"Then who did he experiment on? I don't remember that I allowed him to start human experiments." Mike said thoughtfully, "As the person who takes care of Victor, what do you want to tell me? ?"

"This……"

Benjamin hesitated and couldn't speak. He was busy with Soraka's love recently, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Victor's situation.

"It's not Benjamin's fault." Soraka said to Mike, "You give him too much work, he can't keep up with it. Look, he's lost weight recently!"

Anyway, after looking for a long time, Mike, who didn't see where Benjamin lost weight, sighed, and decided to check on Victor's situation after the dance. Probably nothing serious will happen. Victor is not an idiot, as in He still can't do things like experimenting on himself, it should be...

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, let's not talk about this." Mike stood up and said to everyone, "It's almost time, let's change into our gowns and get ready to go to the auditorium."

Everyone immediately dispersed and went back to their dormitories.

Today's Hogwarts is very beautifully dressed, especially the lawn outside the auditorium. There is a huge cave above it, and there are dots of fairy light shining inside, which means that there are hundreds of living fairies inside.

They sat among conjured rose bushes, or flapped their wings on top of statues that seemed to be Santa's ahem his reindeer.

Mike and his party came to the entrance of the auditorium in a mighty manner.

The boys in Franklin were all dressed in neatly tailored black suits, and among them, Mike was the best-looking. His short blond hair matched the black suit very well.

As for Franklin, it was terrible. Standing in a black suit in the dark, he seemed to be wearing Harry's invisibility cloak. If it weren't for Hillary, who was wearing a lavender dress beside him, holding his hand, any No one could find that there was still a person standing there.

Professor McGonagall looked at Mike and the others with a smile and nodded, obviously very satisfied.

But when her eyes shifted to Harry next to him, Professor McGonagall's expression immediately darkened.

"Okay, come with me, the warriors need to sit with all the distinguished guests."

After that, Professor McGonagall walked away.

Harry looked a little embarrassed.

The dress he was wearing now was prepared by Mrs. Weasley. To be honest, it was more like a skirt than the dress. The too long skirt and the old fabric made him very embarrassed.

Ron beside him was even more unbearable.

The dresses of the two of them were very similar, and it seemed that they were both prepared by Mrs. Weasley.

But Ron seems to have made some minor changes to the dress - he cut the skirt and sleeves shorter with a cutting spell.

But Ron was obviously not proficient enough in the cutting spell, which made the cut of his dress full of raw edges, which now looked more like a non-mainstream ripped suit than the dress.

Their partner's dresses were much more beautiful than theirs.

Their dancing partner is a pair of Indian sisters Parvati Patil and Padma Patil. Among them, the sister Pajati, who is snuggling next to Harry, is wearing a pink traditional Indian dress. Ron Padma next to her is pale green.

Mike is not at all surprised that there will be Indians in the magic school in the UK. After all, China has a very open immigration policy for Indians. Mike guesses that this is because India has been a country for a long time Colonial relations.

"Let's go, Harry." Mike smiled and invited, "By the way, your partner is very beautiful."

"oh oh!"

Harry was obviously in a daze, and it took him a long time to react after hearing Mike's voice.

On the contrary, it was Parvati, the gorgeously dressed Indian girl who heard the words and gave a salute to Mike, and then said lightly:

"Thank you. Your dance partner looked gorgeous today, too."

Mike and Penello smiled at each other and entered the castle first.

And Payatti followed Harry, who was still a little distracted, on the arm.

The etiquette of Payati is almost perfect, which does not conform to the traditional impression of Indians on Indians.

The family conditions of the two Patil sisters must be quite good. Their family was originally either aristocratic or high caste in India. This can be seen from their fair complexion and a large number of gold ornaments on their bodies.

Professor McGonagall did not take Mike, Harry and others directly to a small room next to the auditorium, and then told everyone to wait here for a while.

In this small room, the other two warriors and their dance partners have also arrived.

Seeing Mike and Penello coming to the room, Fleur immediately took the hand of her dancing partner, Ravenclaw Quidditch team captain Roger, and gave Mike a vicious look.

The meaning was very clear, but Roger next to him didn't notice it, he was still staring at Fleur in a daze, and didn't notice Mike's arrival at all.

Roger felt that he should be the luckiest person in the world at this moment. Otherwise, how could he explain that a beautiful woman like Fu Rong would suddenly invite him to be his dance partner?

At this moment, he just wants to keep looking at Fu Rong until the end of time.

Mike completely ignored Fleur, while Penello on the side smiled at Fleur as if showing off at an angle that Mike could not see.

This directly made Fu Rong explode, and she instinctively turned her head to ask Roger to help him talk.

However, at this moment, Roger still looks stupid, and it seems that his saliva is about to flow out.

"You... you trash! Get lost!"

The furious Fleur pushed Roger away, and sat on the chair alone, sulking.

Seeing this, the smile on Penello's face became brighter.

As for Harry, his attention never left Krum and his partner from the moment he entered.

"Hermione? Is that you? Hermione?"

Harry asked in disbelief.

And his voice also caught the attention of the girl next to Krum. The girl turned her head instinctively, and seeing that it was Harry and Mike, she smiled and said:

"Harry! Mike! You're here at last."

"Um, um, yeah. So, your partner is Krum?"

Harry was still trembling when he spoke, and his eyes were a little wandering.

His dance partner, Pajati, obviously noticed Harry's abnormality. Coupled with the previous report in the Daily Prophet, it seemed that she understood something, and she looked at Harry more and more unkindly.

But it wasn't Harry's fault, Hermione looked so beautiful at the moment, so beautiful that she was almost a different person than usual.

The originally messy and fluffy hair has now been subdued by a beautiful princess head, which has turned into normal-sized front teeth, which also makes Hermione's face extra cute. Coupled with the pale pink princess group, at this moment Hermione looks like a princess walking out of a Disney fairy tale.

"You are unexpectedly beautiful today!" Mike stepped forward to greet him, "You are also exceptionally handsome, Krum."

"Xiao Xie, you are the same, this suit suits you."

Mike, who was listening to Krum's half-baked English, was taken aback for a moment.

He knew that Krum didn't understand English, so he didn't expect Krum to respond to him.

Hermione on the side smiled and explained:

"Klum has been learning English during this time. Although his accent is not quite standard, he can communicate in daily life now!"

"It's all for you," Krum said. "Hermione."

Hermione's face turned red, and she was too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, Mike frowned first, then relaxed and said:

"It couldn't be better, Krum. I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time. Are you interested in coming to China? Maybe you can become the product spokesperson of our Los Santos Group."

"Oh, maybe Haohao needs to think about it."

"It doesn't matter, you have a whole school year to think about it. After you make a decision, you can come to me anytime."

"OK!"

Krum shook hands with Mike with a smile. At this moment, he really thinks that Mike is a good person! Knowing that he is not easy to get along with Hermione in a foreign country, she specially gave him a chance to stay and work in the country!

"Okay! Everyone come with me, everyone else has already taken their seats, now it's your turn to play!"

Professor McGonagall's voice sounded again, everyone in the room quickly agreed, and even Harry, who had been in a daze, was awakened.

Everyone began to follow Professor McGonagall towards the auditorium. Mike and Penello walked at the end. He looked at Krum in front of him and his eyes gradually became unfriendly.
