Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Harry and the others did not disappoint Mike. They carried forward their usual thorny spirit, and in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class soon after, a fierce verbal conflict broke out with the professor Umbridge.

And Umbridge is also a person who keeps her promises, and she has no mercy in dealing with this matter.

After a bit of arguing, the matter ended with Harry being sentenced to a week of confinement.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, the conflict between Harry and the others and Umbridge was nothing compared to the conflict between Mike and Umbridge in terms of intensity. .

Even Harry himself didn't pay much attention to it, because it's not like he hasn't been locked up by Snape before, and if it's based on his previous experience, the so-called confinement is just some kind of punishment Sexual labor.

What's more, Mike was also imprisoned by Umbridge before. Judging from his description afterwards, Umbridge's confinement seems not so terrible.

It can only be said that Harry was too naive, and he quickly paid the price for his naivety.

"Harry, Umbridge did nothing wrong for you last night, did he?"

In the auditorium, Mike sat next to Harry and the others who were eating breakfast. While asking aloud, he looked at the back of Harry's hands intentionally or unconsciously.

Sure enough, as Mike expected, there was a faint red mark on the back of Harry's left hand, which looked like tender flesh growing after an injury, but the color was very pale. If you didn't look carefully, you would have seen it not come out.

"It's not too bad, Harry told us that the old witch just made him copy sentences."

Ron rushed to answer, since Mike had stood up for him on the Hogwarts Express, he cherished the opportunity to communicate with Mike very much.

Hearing that Harry was cutting sausages, he also froze, and quietly pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, just covering the scar on the back of his hand.

This made Mike feel a little funny.

Mike, who has read the original book, knows very well that Umbridge's punishment is not as simple as copying sentences. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge has mastered many terrifying punishment methods, and she herself is a Extremely cruel people.

The quill she gave Harry to use to copy the sentences was a torture instrument brought from the Ministry of Magic.

This special quill does not need any ink when writing. Whenever it leaves a trace on the parchment, it will automatically draw the same bloodstain on the back of the user's other hand and absorb it. The blood inside is written as ink on the parchment.

And this kind of pen also has a very magical effect, that is, the wounds it creates will heal in a very short period of time, unless a lot of repeated content is written repeatedly in a short period of time, otherwise it will not be at all. leave no trace.

Mike didn't know if the pen was invented for the purpose of torturing others, but this wonderful property undoubtedly made it the best tool in Umbridge's hands to punish students.

Mike just stared straight at Harry's hand and fell into deep thought, while Harry's scalp was a little numb from his stare, and he couldn't help asking:

"Mike, what's wrong with you?"

"Huh? Oh! I'm just a little sleepy." Mike found an excuse to perfunctory, and then asked, "Is what Ron said true? She put you in confinement just to make you copy sentences? "

Harry's expression was a little unnatural, but he nodded silently after a moment of silence.

"Oh, that doesn't look like a terrible punishment..."

Listening to Mike's words, the expression on Harry's face became more and more distressed. At the same time, his right hand also covered the back of his left hand, as if it was in pain.

This made Mike want to laugh, because Harry obviously didn't mean to tell the truth, not even the details of the confinement.

Obviously, if this kind of thing is said, someone will come forward to help him solve it, but he is unwilling to say it.

Mike didn't understand this very much, and in the end it could only be classified as a common brain cramp in adolescence.

"I think so too," Ron replied eagerly again. "The only downside is that he won't be able to participate in Quidditch practice because of the confinement."

The expression on Ron's face was very complicated, with some melancholy in his envy.

After a pause, he continued:

"Mike, the Quidditch school team will start selection after a while, do you think I'm going to participate?"

"Huh?" Mike froze for a moment, then said instinctively, "Are you going to be a guard?"

"How did you know!?"

Ron was surprised, but quickly recovered, and asked with an excited look:

"I almost forgot, you are also a member of the Ravenclaw school team, and you also know Quidditch. Then you quickly give me a staff officer, do you think I can succeed in the selection this time?"

"Emm..."

Mike was a little speechless. He had seen Ron's goalkeeping skills before, and it was really hard to describe.

Just when Mike didn't know how to answer, Hermione's voice suddenly came from the side.

"We're going to take the OWL exam this year, and you're still thinking about taking part in the Quidditch trials? If Mrs. Weasley finds out, she'll definitely pick you off!"

Mike looked over after hearing the sound, and saw Hermione walking towards them quickly, holding a stack of thick books.

At this moment, Ron seemed to be thinking of his mother's appearance when he was angry, and his body trembled violently.

"If you ask me, Harry, you should also quit the school Quidditch team." Hermione sat next to Mike, "This year, the OWL exam is the most important thing for us. I bet if you use the usual All the energy in Quidditch is transferred to study, and you can take at least three players back with you in the end!"

Harry fiddled with the sausages on the plate with a fork, not wanting to answer Hermione in the slightest.

And Hermione turned her attention to Mike after shelling Harry and Ron.

Mike was at a loss, but Hermione just snorted and looked away.

This made Ron feel a little disappointed. He and Harry were often scolded by Hermione these days, and now it was hard to see Hermione scolding others, but Hermione finally gave up.

But he is also very clear that Mike is different from them. Mike doesn't care about his OWL test results at all. His current achievements are beyond their lifetime.

"Are you... not feeling well?"

Seeing Hermione's anxious look, Mike asked carefully.

How could Hermione not understand Mike's meaning, her face blushed suddenly, she turned her head to look at Mike fiercely and said:

"Take care of yourself! Your next class is Transfiguration class. If you can't complete the disappearing curse, Professor McGonagall will definitely kill you!"

Mike laughed, and Hermione's reaction certainly confirmed his suspicions.

"I suggest you drink more hot water. Really, this is what Zhou Hong told me. I heard that it is a secret recipe from the ancient East!"

The blush on Hermione's face spread to her ears, she reached out her hand to hit Mike, but the latter deftly dodged and quickly disappeared into the auditorium.

Hearing Mike's laughter, Hermione's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help cursing secretly:

"rogue!"

...

After molesting Hermione's little loli, Mike was also in a good mood, humming a ditty all the way to the Transfiguration classroom.

This was their first Transfiguration class this semester, and most of the students were very relaxed. When Mike arrived in the classroom, he saw all the smiling faces of the students.

Obviously, they all felt that even Professor McGonagall would not be too harsh on them in the first class of the new semester.

However, the reality is cruel. When Professor McGonagall entered the classroom with steady steps, the classroom that was full of laughter and scolding immediately fell silent.

There is no other reason, Professor McGonagall's expression at this moment is really ugly.

His brows were slightly clustered, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes were still round.

The students are very familiar with this expression. Whenever this expression appears on Professor McGonagall's face, it means that they will usher in a storm of scolding.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall said just after the classroom became quiet:

"Why didn't you say it? Continue!"

There was silence under the podium, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Professor McGonagall glanced across everyone's faces, and continued when no one dared to speak:

"I can hear your voices from downstairs! The owl exam is coming this year, don't you feel nervous at all?!"

The students still kept their heads down and did not dare to speak.

"This is the first class of the school, I will not punish you! But if this happens to me next time, I will punish you all for copying textbooks! Do you understand?"

"understood."

There were some weak voices scattered under the podium.

"What are you talking about?" McGonagall said, "Speak up!"

"understood!"

All the students roared in unison, until then Mag nodded in satisfaction and said loudly:

"Okay, now please take out "Advanced Transfiguration" and turn to page 104. What we are going to learn today is the Vanishing Curse."

Hearing this, many Ravenclaw students who had previewed the entire book immediately looked at each other in shock.

The Vanishing Curse is an extremely difficult transformation spell. Its difficulty is definitely one of the best among the spells that will be learned throughout the year. Everyone can't believe that Professor McGonagall asked them to learn this spell as soon as he came up. !

This... Can anyone really learn it?

The small movements of everyone in the audience did not escape the eyes of Professor McGonagall.

But she was not angry, because the reason why these students had such a reaction was precisely because they had done the preview and had a certain understanding of the Vanishing Curse.

This is a good thing.

At the same time, she couldn't help but nodded. Ravenclaw is worthy of being a school of masters, and the proportion of students who have done preview is far higher than that of Gryffindor.

"Hmm!" Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, and everyone immediately stopped their small movements. "Students who have previewed should already know it? The Vanishing Curse, this is a very difficult transformation spell. Its effect is very simple. That is, it can make living and dead things disappear. Listen clearly, it’s not invisible or something, but real disappearance, turning into nothingness, understand?”

Hearing this, Mike's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand and said, "Professor, can the Vanishing Curse be used on people? Can the disappeared things or creatures come back?"

"Mike, I don't recommend you to use this spell on people, because it will often cause irreparable consequences." McGonagall's eyes were a little scary, as if warning Mike not to make mistakes, "And about your second question , my answer is yes! The disappeared item can indeed be recalled, but the spell to recall it is not in your learning content this year!"

Mike was obviously not satisfied with Mag's answer, and wanted to continue asking, but Mag didn't intend to continue answering.

I saw that she completely ignored Mike, took out a big box and handed it to a classmate beside her and said:

"Distribute it."

"There's a snail in there, and you're each going to get one later. And your job for the class is to try to make it go away. It's not too difficult, technically, since a snail is an invertebrate, so It's much easier to make it disappear than an animal like a mouse toad."

Soon, everyone got a little snail in their hands.

But McGonagall didn't let everyone try it immediately, but first explained to everyone the incantation of the disappearing spell (disappearing without a trace), the volume tone required to release the disappearing spell, and the range of the wand's waving method.

This class was taught by Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Compared with the little badgers, the members of Ravenclaw are obviously smarter, and they understand the content explained by Professor McGonagall faster.

Professor McGonagall didn't mean to favor Ravenclaw. She demonstrated the trick of the Vanishing Curse over and over again, and she didn't listen until she thought everyone should have roughly grasped the point.

"Okay, students, please wave your wands."

Following McGonagall's order, the Ravenclaws couldn't wait to take out their wands and aimed at the snail in front of them, while most of the Hufflepuffs turned their anxious eyes to Ravenclaw.

Apparently, most Hufflepuffs are not confident in themselves, and they want to see Ravenclaw for a few more demonstrations.

"Fade without a trace!"

Franklin next to Mike waved his wand impatiently, but the snail in front of him did not change at all, and continued to crawl slowly on his desk.

Cursing his lips, Franklin looked around for a while, and saw that all the students around him had also failed, and then a smile appeared on his face again.

Then he turned his attention to Mike. There are many people looking at Mike like him. Most of these people are guys who have failed in their attempts. They are eager to see if Mike, a great genius, will also be with him They fail as well.

And if that fails, they're comfortable!

Mike naturally also noticed those hot gazes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he slowly took out his wand...
