Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Happy Christmas with the Freemasons, especially Viktor, even though his humanoid mech didn't hold up against Mike for ten minutes - and that's when Mike didn't use the Massacre in the case of a curse.

But Victor was not discouraged. He thought that the reason why he lost so badly was largely because he could not think rationally like a machine, so he wasted too much energy.

As a result, he once again proposed to Mike to carry out the transformation of the brain.

Of course, Mike didn't agree.

And after the Christmas break, the Hogwarts classmates also ushered in another thorny problem - the start of school.

In the auditorium, Mike, Franklin and others were enjoying their first meal after returning to Hogwarts. Because they had 'comforted' Penello for several days during Christmas, Mike was in a good mood, eating and eating. humming a tune.

But the other classmates beside him were different. They were all frowning, and they turned a blind eye to the much richer breakfast on the plate than before.

In Mike's view, this is completely the performance of the phobia of starting school.

In the past, this symptom never appeared to Hogwarts students, because for many ordinary little wizards, the school life in Hogwarts was far more interesting than the life in their small family.

But this year is different because of the addition of a nasty professor to the school, Umbridge.

"Damn, our first class this morning is Defense Against the Dark Arts! It's so annoying!"

"Hey! Don't say it! Do you feel bad for me? I have five days of confinement to execute, and now that school starts, Umbridge will definitely keep coming to me!"

"Hey!*2"

...

Listening to the lamentations of the students around him and looking at their desperate appearance, Mike shook his head silently and withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, a large group of owls suddenly flew in from the hallway. They were clutching one after another in twos and threes and hovering above everyone's heads, like a bomber carrying out an air raid, they would drop one from time to time. The package, people can't help but want to escape this dangerous place.

But the only ones who really put their ideas into action are the first-year students who have just joined. The seniors are already used to this kind of scene, and they are very confident in the throwing skills of these owl messengers - they will at most throw your Smashed breakfast, but not smashing the package on your head.

"Snapped!"

With a light sound, the owls threw a bundle of newspapers onto the plate in front of Mike, but the food in that plate had already been wiped out by Mike, so there was no food residue or soup. splash.

The owl that dropped the newspaper looked disappointed, hovering over Mike's head for a while before slowly leaving.

Mike, on the other hand, opened the latest Daily Prophet with an indifferent expression.

"Shock! Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, was taken away by the Aurors last night and is suspected of being involved in a case of embezzlement! 》

As soon as he opened the newspaper, the prominent headline, enlarged and blackened, caught Mike's eyes.

Mike was stunned for a moment, and then continued to read.

Yesterday at about seventeen thirty-seven minutes and forty-two seconds, the famous white wizard, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the chairman of the International Federation of Wizards... was taken away by the Auror in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

According to Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office who led the team, Dumbledore was reported to have misappropriated public funds several times during his tenure as headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, resulting in insufficient school funds.

So they will take Dumbledore back to the Ministry of Magic for the next interrogation.

Another Ministry of Magic official, Ms. Umbridge, the Ministry of Magic's senior Hogwarts censor, said that Dumbledore was what she reported.

During her tenure at Hogwarts, she found that many senior students were often faced with material shortages in courses such as Potions, which required a lot of expensive material, which she could not understand because every year the Ministry of Magic and the school The Dongs will send a lot of supplies and Jin Galleon to Hogwarts, and it stands to reason that this situation will never happen.

So she investigated the matter, but unexpectedly discovered the secret of Dumbledore's corruption.

At present, Ms. Umbridge said that she has obtained a lot of evidence, and she will definitely give justice to all the teachers and students of Hogwarts!

...

After closing the newspaper, the expression on Mike's face was a little weird.

Because a lot of what Umbridge said in the interview came from his mouth.

But that's not the point, the point now is that Dumbledore has left Hogwarts again!

Mike turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, most of the students around were agitated. Obviously, he had discovered the explosive news in the Daily Prophet today.

After packing up the tableware, Mike walked directly outside the auditorium.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore's arrest was Umbridge's revenge. It is estimated that Dumbledore himself never thought that Umbridge's revenge would come so quickly and with such force. gone him.

But things have happened, and now it's up to Dumbledore to get out as soon as possible, otherwise Hogwarts will soon be reduced to Umbridge again.

Mike's class in the morning was ancient magic literature. The professor of this class obviously heard the news of Dumbledore's arrest, so he seemed absent-minded during the class, and the things he taught were scattered, basically the whole process. Distracted.

In fact, it's not just her, the classmates in the class are constantly discussing this matter, and there are even many girls with red eyes.

After class, Mike was blocked by the three of Harry.

"Mike! Did you hear that?"

"You mean Dumbledore was arrested?" Mike said to Hermione. "Of course, I saw that article early this morning."

"Umbridge should be happy now," Ron pouted, looking annoyed, "Hogwarts is hers again!"

"I don't think there is any need to worry too much."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Harry.

"Dumbledore should come out soon. After all, a person like him would not commit corruption. This kind of false accusation will not defeat Dumbledore. So we should be concerned about another thing!"

"What's up?"

"They're hiding something from us!"

Harry leaned closer to Mike's ear and lowered his voice.

Mike and Ron looked puzzled.

"Remember when Mr. Weasley was attacked by a snake? I had a dream and I was the snake in the dream! It was a wonderful experience, I could clearly perceive everything the snake felt. , including its thoughts!" said Harry, "so I know very well that the snake was not aimed at Mr. Weasley at all, it was aimed at something in the room behind Mr. Weasley. And Weasley Why did the husband appear in that place in the middle of the night, isn't it good to sleep at home? So, the answer is already obvious, Mr. Weasley must have been..."

"...Guarding something!"

Harry and Ron said the final answer in unison.

"It's not the scariest thing. I discussed it with Black and the others, and we all felt that the python that attacked Mr. Weasley was sent by Voldemort! In other words, the person who really wanted that thing was Voldemort! "

Hearing that, everyone present was stunned, while Ron looked around with a nervous expression, as if he was afraid that others would know that Harry had called that person by name.

Suddenly, Hermione on the side slapped her palm violently, and then she put this morning's Daily Prophet in front of everyone as if she had remembered something.

"Ministry of Magic Staff Died"

St Mungo's Hospital last night pledged to conduct a full investigation into the death of Ministry staffer Broderick Bird.

Forty-nine-year-old Mr. Bode was strangled to death by a pot of plants, and therapists failed to rescue him.

Mr Bird was injured in a work accident a few weeks ago.

Meliam Straw, the therapist who was in charge of Mr. Broad's ward at the time of the accident, was suspended with pay and did not give an interview, but according to reliable sources, Mr. Broad died entirely because someone regarded a devil's vine as a common The potted plant was given to him.

We don't yet know the exact origin of this devil's vine, but there is no doubt that the management of St. Mungo's Hospital has an inescapable responsibility...

After reading the entire report, Ron looked envious and said:

"Suspension with pay? That's great, I want to find a job like this in the future."

Hermione rolled his eyes at him, poked at the picture of Mr. Bird in the newspaper, and said:

"Why is your focus so strange? Take a good look at this Mr. Bird we've seen before! In the ward next to Mr. Weasley, staring up at the ceiling. We also saw the Devil's Web, then The therapist said it was a Christmas present!"

"Oh! Doesn't that mean that if we could have looked more closely at the time, Mr. Bird wouldn't have..."

"Come on, we can't blame us for this, after all, who would have thought that the Devil's Web would disguise itself as an ordinary potted plant?" Ron retorted Harry's words, "Blame the person who gave the gift, who let him Stupid enough to not even know what he bought."

Hermione rolled her eyes again, and Mike said:

"I don't think it's an accident, after all, no one is really stupid enough to give someone else a devil's net as a gift. So this is murder, a very clever murder!"

Harry and Ron took a deep breath when they heard the words, while Hermione snapped her fingers and said:

"Mike got it right! And I heard some interesting things there. Mr. Bird works for the Department of Mysteries, and he's a mute!"

Ron exclaimed again, Mike nodded, only Harry was still confused.

"The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, just like its name, is a place for mysterious experiments, where people specialize in curses, prophecies, space, the universe and even time. And the staff inside are signed to keep it secret. Agreement, you can't say a word about what's in it. So the employees there are also called the silent people." Mike said, "I understand what Hermione means, you mean Voldemort (Ron shivered again). ) What they want is likely to be put in the Department of Mysteries, so they will try to torture and silence Mr. Bird, right?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"I don't think we can handle this alone. We'd better tell Dumbledore and let them deal with it."

"I told them!" Harry raised his voice abruptly, "but they just said they knew, and they didn't want to tell me anything! Especially Dumbledore, he seems to be very cold to me lately. Forcibly ordered me to stay at St. Mungo's Hospital, and now I am asked to learn some Occlumency with Snape, I guess he must think I am crazy!"

As soon as this statement came out, Hermione's expression immediately became very exciting, the corners of Mike's mouth rose slightly, and Ron was shocked.

"What? He asked Snape to teach you?" said Ron. "It's terrifying, Snape's old bat is sure to torture you."

"Who said it wasn't. Hey! I'm going to his office tonight for my first class, and I really don't know what to do."

"Um, I don't think you know what Occlumency is, do you? Harry."

Hermione asked slowly, with an embarrassed expression on her face, while Harry shook his head inexplicably after hearing this.

"Occlumency can seal the user's brain, making the spells that can invade the brain such as the Dementor ineffective. This is an extremely difficult spell, and you need to have enough magic power to learn it. It also requires extraordinary talent." Mike explained, "I have to say that although Professor Snape is not very good, he is indeed a very talented wizard. On the spell of Occlumency, He can be considered a master. So Harry, I think Dumbledore is very interesting to you, and it is rare for a master wizard to teach you Occlumency."

Hermione on the side nodded quickly and said yes, if she could, she even wanted to go to Professor Snape's class instead of Harry. As long as she could learn Occlumency, she would be willing to accept whatever Professor Snape scolded her or punished her.

It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't think she had the need to learn this spell.

"But...but I..."

Harry looked unconvinced, and it could be seen that he was racking his brains to think about the reasons for his rebuttal.

"Anyway, Harry," Mike said, "you try to learn first, although Snape and you are very difficult to deal with, it will be worth it if you can learn Occlumency. If then you really If you can't lose weight, you can make your request to Dumbledore again, can't you?"

"……Fine!"

Harry gritted his teeth and said, Mike's words really made him speechless.
