Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Fleur and the Beauxbatons students are gone.

They walked in such a hurry that they didn't even attend the Hogwarts Leaving Dinner they had planned to attend.

This move is undoubtedly disrespectful, but Dumbledore and the others have no intention of blaming them and Durmstrang who also left early, because everyone knows that this three-strong cup is a tragedy for them.

What's more, Voldemort has been resurrected, which means that the country has once again become a dangerous place.

In particular, Krum, who was pure blood, also died at the hands of the Death Eaters, which means that even pure blood is no longer safe.

Their departure has made many people in Hogwarts very disappointed. During the year of getting along, many girls in Beauxbatons have established very deep friendships with the students of Hogwarts, some of them Even fell in love.

And this separation is likely to be a goodbye for everyone.

Hagrid was also very sad. The last time Maxim went to his cabin, he actually came to say goodbye to him.

As the headmaster of the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Maxim couldn't stay in the country for love, and Hagrid couldn't leave Hogwarts, so they both knew very well that this relationship, I'm afraid It's about to die.

Mike also has some regrets about Furong's departure. To be honest, he still likes Furong quite a bit (nonsense, as long as normal men like Furong), but the clothes are not as good as the new ones, but the old ones are not as good as the old ones. In contrast, Mike still cares more about Pene. Lo's feelings.

And just a few days after the Beauxbatons left, the annual Hogwarts Leaving Dinner also began.

The School Leaving Dinner has always been a repertoire at Hogwarts. This is a festive banquet where the students who have nothing to lose will eat and drink at this dinner to vent their accumulated pressure over the years and their regrets for the near future. Looking forward to the post-summer vacation.

And the previous headmasters of Hogwarts also know this tradition very well. At this annual festival, even the most severe headmaster will become kind and amiable, so that the students can have a good mood, and also It enables students to face their parents with a smile when they go home.

Only tonight this tradition seems to be broken.

The auditorium's decor has indeed changed, but instead of the usual Champions Academy colors, the flags on the walls and ceiling of the auditorium are plain black.

This made the entire auditorium and even the students sitting in the auditorium become depressed.

This is not surprising at all, except for some mental perversions, I have not been able to speed up in the current environment of 'dark clouds'.

On the long table of the four major colleges, many students are complaining about the bad color.

Claiming that they had managed to come out of the shadows of Krum's death and the departure of Beauxbatons' beauties, the school not only didn't plan to make them any happier, but also planned to bring them back to their lows again.

Even a Gryffindor student said that even Slytherin's ugly green looked much better than black.

Of course, they only dared to say these words in private. When Dumbledore on the stage shook the golden bell in his hand, the entire auditorium was still as silent as in previous years.

Mike, Penello and others sat at the long table in Ravenclaw, and when the bell rang, Mike turned to look at the stage like the others.

I saw that today's Dumbledore is very rare wearing a black robe,

And all the people in the faculty seats not far from him were all dressed in black. Among them, Hagrid's dress was the most bizarre. Since his injuries were not yet fully recovered, he was still wearing a lot of bandages.

However, as we all know, bandages are generally white.

So in order to match the main color of black tonight, Hagrid had to dye all the straps on his body black.

If he usually dressed like this, it would definitely attract everyone's ridicule, but tonight no one made fun of him at all.

Because everyone knows that Hagrid just got away with his life some time ago, and Bagman, who was impersonated by Barty Jr like him, was not so lucky, because Barty Jr. imprisoned him in a very remote place. so he was dead when the Aurors found him.

Not killed by Barty Jr.

Rather, starved to death.

This is undoubtedly a huge tragedy, especially for Bagman's creditors.

"Another year," said Dumbledore, looking at them all. "It's over."

As Dumbledore's loud voice echoed in the auditorium, the students' attention became more concentrated, because according to the practice of the past few years, Dumbledore's next speech is bound to announce some extremely important things.

"Tonight was supposed to be a festive day. In the past year, there are too many things to celebrate. For example, some of us have finished their studies and started to step into their new lives, and for example We won the Triwizard Tournament," said Dumbledore, "but there have been many tragedies in the past year, and I think we should remember those more than the joyous ones. tragedy."

Dumbledore stopped, and the students in the audience became nervous.

"I think a lot of people already know what I'm about to say," Dumbledore continued. "We lost a good friend, Krum, in the last three rounds. Our school's Conservation of Magical Creatures class. The professor was also attacked and nearly lost his life. You must have heard about these things from the newspapers or from your classmates. But what I want to tell you is that it was indeed the Death Eaters who caused it, but also Voldemort."

Hearing Voldemort's three words, many people in the auditorium could not help but shudder, and a smile appeared on Mike's mouth.

"Yes, Voldemort, he's back."

After saying that, the auditorium fell into a strange silence, and then the dense whispers rang out. By now, everyone could no longer care about the majesty of the principal, and an emotion called unease quickly filled the auditorium. Come on.

"The Ministry doesn't want me to tell you about this," Dumbledore continued, "and some of my classmates' parents may be shocked by what I've done, perhaps because they can't believe Voldemort is really back, or because They don't think I should tell you about it because you are young. But I believe it is always better to tell the truth than to lie."

At this time, shock and fear were written on every face in the auditorium. Except for Slytherin, most of the Slytherin students did not show panic after hearing Dumbledore's words. On the contrary, among them Excited smiles appeared on the faces of many of them. They gathered together in twos and threes and whispered, as if they were discussing how to join the Dark Lord's camp, and Malfoy was the most active one.

This move made many people's perception of Slytherin drop to the bottom, and many Gryffindor boys even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore spoke again.

"Of course, when I talk about these things, I have to mention two other people," Dumbledore said. "Yes, I'm talking about Harry Potter and Mike Townley."

Dumbledore's words brought the Gryffindor lads back where they were supposed to be after they had left their seats.

"Harry Potter and Mike Townley, the two of them confronted Voldemort that night and escaped him," Dumbledore said, "especially Mike Townley, who risked his life to keep Harry safe. Brought back to Hogwarts. He displayed a spirit of fearlessness in every way that few wizards have shown in the face of Voldemort's lust, and for that I pay tribute to him."

Dumbledore turned to Mike solemnly and raised his goblet.

Almost all of the people in the auditorium did, muttering Mike's name excitedly and toasting him.

Mike also stood up with a goblet full of juice. First, he bowed to everyone who stood up on the faculty seats, then bowed in the direction of the classmates to express his gratitude, and finally joined everyone to join the high school. The juice in the cup was drained in one go.

And when he got up and bowed, he also saw the scene on Slytherin's side.

At the long Slytherin table, only a very small number of people, including Chris, stood up and toasted Mike, while the rest sat stubbornly on the chairs, thinking that what Dumbledore said just now was farting.

At the same time, Mike also noticed that the Slytherin Mike who followed Chris got up had seen it in the investigation report submitted by the mutual aid association. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all mixed blood!

And all pure blood, without exception, all ignored their king!

Mike sat down slowly, the smile on his face deepened.

"Honestly, I wish I was wrong. But by now, we all have to accept the bad truth," Dumbledore said. "I believe we're all going to face dark and difficult times, in Some of you in this hall have been directly victimized by Lord Voldemort. Many of your families have been torn apart.

Voldemort is strong, I don't deny that. But I don't think he is so strong that no one can stop him. I hope everyone can be united. We can only be strong if we are united. If we are divided, we will be vulnerable. Voldemort's methods of creating conflict and hostility are very clever. Saying that, Dumbledore looked towards the long table of Slytherin, "We can only fight it to the end if we show the same unbreakable friendship and trust." As long as we have the same goal, Voldemort will be defeated! "

Dumbledore's words were sonorous and powerful, and many students, mainly Gryffindor, were all infected with enthusiasm and could not help but stand up and cheer.

But more people bowed their heads and said nothing, and the purebloods of Slytherin even sneered.

This scene was all seen by Dumbledore, who was standing high, and his shining eyes couldn't help but be stained with a haze.

...

The school leaving dinner was over, and everyone was not very happy with this meal, especially Slytherin.

Because Dumbledore didn't talk about the Academy Cup until the end of the dinner, and judging from the score of the gem hourglass in the foyer, this year's Student Cup should be theirs.

If Dumbledore treated them like this, they would have launched their own backgrounds to complain, but now they have more important things, such as informing their parents about Voldemort's resurrection.

The members of the Freemasonry, such as Mike and Franklin, did not return to the lounge like other classmates, but gathered in the secret area of ​​Freemasonry.

After another round of expansion, the number of Freemason members rose again, and Franklin's new girlfriend Clinton and Zhou Hong also joined the Freemason, and they were sitting in the Freemason's conference room at the moment.

Their participation made the originally empty conference room a little crowded, but despite the crowd, the atmosphere in the conference room did not become lively. language.

Even the Weasley brothers who were the most out-of-touch in the past were no exception.

This is not surprising at all, the members of the Freemasonry are all Muggle ancestry except the Weasley brothers, and even the pure blood Weasley brothers, they are Muggle sects that Voldemort hates.

It can be said that Freemasonry is naturally on the opposite side of Voldemort, and the two are bound to have a life-and-death battle in the future!

In the face of the strongest dark wizard in the world today, it can be said that everyone has no confidence at all.

Despair and unease filled the conference room, and the only sound that could be heard in the auditorium now was the sound of shoe soles hitting the floor.

This was Franklin shaking his legs, a way he used to relieve his nervousness.

This is obviously a bad bad habit. This kind of dense noise can easily make people feel irritable, and many people in the conference room frown.

Finally, Miss Clinton, who was sitting beside Franklin, made her move. She reached out and pressed Franklin's leg, and the annoying voice finally disappeared.

But as Miss Clinton released her hand, Franklin started shaking his legs involuntarily.

Franklin made an apologetic gesture, indicating that he could not control himself, so Miss Clinton's hand could only be kept on Franklin's thigh.

Across from them, Benjamin seemed to be unable to bear this weird atmosphere anymore, and saw him stand up suddenly and slammed down the table.

"Bang!"

This loud noise startled everyone, everyone looked at Benjamin in surprise, but Benjamin's eyes fell on the tall figure at the head of the long table.

"Say something, Mike!"

Mike's emotionless, fluctuating eyes turned to Benjamin, and asked lightly:

"Do you want to hear what I have to say?"

Mike's glance directly made Benjamin, who was still angry just now, nourish his stomach. He saw his throat wriggle a lot. After hesitating for a while, he said in a much smaller volume than before:

"When...of course what are we going to do next."

"Oh, that's what you mean." Mike stretched his waist and said, "Next, let's go to Qiang Bank. Well, to be precise, what we want in Qiang is a magic bank, that is, Gringotts."

Everyone: "?"
