Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

The Hogwarts Castle was dark in the middle of the night, and the curfew time had come. According to the school rules, except for Filch, who was vigilant, all professors and students should fall asleep.

However, in the responsive room on the eighth floor, it was very lively. Dozens of students of different grades gathered in this huge transformed classroom, and the sound of laughter and curse explosions resounded throughout the classroom.

Mike on the sofa was blushing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his legs were shaking at the same time, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

At the dinner party with Professor Flitwick before, Professor Flitwick was in a good mood, so he drank a lot of wine.

Mike, who accompanied the wine, naturally drank a lot. In addition, Mike's current body is not yet an adult, and his tolerance to alcohol is not high, so although he did not lie down like Professor Flitwick. , but also fell into a state of slight intoxication.

Fortunately, over the past few months, Mike has given most of the commonly used spells to these D.A. members. If they are taught too many spells in a short period of time, many of them will be confused. understand the situation.

So instead of teaching them new things in the last few lessons, Mike has them split into groups and start practicing a lot of basic skills including spell shooting and casting speed.

As a result, it doesn't matter if Mike leaves them alone now.

"Mike, you should drink this!"

Hermione looked at Mike on the sofa with a worried look, and then handed over a glass of light blue liquid.

Mike glanced, did not speak, just waved his hand slightly.

He recognized the liquid that Hermione handed over. It was a very simple sober medicine. The effect of this medicine was very strong. In his current slightly drunk state, he could completely sober up with just a sip of wine.

But Mike didn't want to drink.

He hasn't touched alcohol for a long time, and he has never been drunk since he came to this world, so now Mike is actually enjoying this slightly drunk state.

It's a pity that, with Mike's current physique, the effect of this alcohol on him won't last long, which means that Mike's current slightly drunk state is likely to disappear at any time.

This also made Mike cherish this state even more. He squinted slightly and looked at Franklin and the others gathered around him through the slits of his eyes, only to see Harry on the other sofa, his face raised, with a raw expression on his face. He stared at the snow-white ceiling in disbelief.

Then he got drunk, Mike sat next to Harry, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"You... what's wrong with you? Why is this expression on?"

The smell of alcohol on Mike's body made Harry frown. He moved his head slightly to the side, but didn't speak.

McBen wanted to ask further questions, but Franklin, who was beside him, shook his head and said:

"Mike, don't ask. Harry lost today, and he just got back from Snape's office."

Suddenly, Mike wanted to understand.

And this afternoon, the Quidditch league officially started. As the opening match, the two sides of the game were Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Judging from Harry's current state, they should have lost that game.

As for Mike's Occupancy Mantra learning in Snape's office, Mike didn't have to think about it and knew that it was bound to be a not-so-good experience.

Regarding the matter between Snape and Harry, it can only be said that it is a mess, and Mike has no interest in it.

After nodding, Mike decided not to ask any further, and patted Harry's shoulder lightly to comfort him, but the latter twisted to the side again.

Mike saw that Harry seemed to hate the smell of alcohol on him, and was immediately amused, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to wipe Harry's face.

However, his hand froze in mid-air when he reached halfway, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Everyone!" Mike stood up suddenly, "Leave the Response Room immediately!"

Mike's voice echoed in the responsive room, and then everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong with you?"

Harry asked suspiciously, while Mike explained without looking at him:

"The vigilance magic I arranged around was triggered, and many people were approaching this side! Quick! Everyone packed up and retreated from the secret passage!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire Response Room became a sensation, and people acted quickly.

In order to prevent the D.A. army meeting from being discovered, Mike actually made an emergency plan, and the first thing to do is to escape the secret passage.

And that secret passage is the one that Mike often used in the junior years, the secret passage that leads to the Ravenclaw Tower.

At this time, it reflects the quality gap between the mutual aid members and the ordinary D.A. army. When Mike issued the retreat order, the long-trained mutual aid members quickly packed up their belongings and began to retreat from the exit in an orderly manner. , while many ordinary D.A. troops are still at a loss.

"You! What are you still doing? Don't pack up, go!"

Mike's stern shout seemed to wake them up, and the D.A. soldiers led by Qiu Zhang and other girls finally moved, screaming and squeezing out the door.

However, this speed is still not enough. The total number of members of the D.A. Army exceeds 60. Such a huge crowd cannot retreat quickly without maintaining high order.

Thinking so, Mike took out his wand and walked towards the door.

"Mike!" Hermione shouted piercingly. "What are you going to do?"

"You go first, I'll hold them off!"

"No! You can't go!"

Hermione reached out and wanted to grab Mike's arm, but Franklin grabbed her, and together with the other members of the mutual aid society, pulled Hermione, Harry and the others and started to drag them in the direction of the secret passage.

Franklin can be said to be one of the people who knows Mike the best. He knows very well that since Mike dares to face Umbridge alone at this time, he must have the confidence to get out of his body. He dragged his feet.

Mike could hear the voices of everyone behind him clearly. After hearing the voices of Hermione and others walking farther and farther, a smile appeared on Mike's face. At the same time, his footsteps became firmer in the darkness.

Walking in the dark, Mike didn't listen until the stairway from the eighth floor to the seventh floor. According to the results detected by the vigilance spell, the main force led by Umbridge will be here. Appeared, only a few skirmishers would arrive at the Response Room from other places. All they could do was to block the main force here. As for those skirmishers, Mike believed that Franklin and the others had a solution.

There is just one more question that is also very important.

So how on earth did Umbridge find out about the D.A. Army Rally?

You must know that you have informed all the members of the existence of the curse, so it stands to reason that there should not be a whistleblower like in the original book.

But the end result was that Umbridge still discovered their existence!

Thinking so, Mike slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly in the darkness.

...

I don't know how long it was, when a light suddenly came from the silent staircase, followed by intermittent voices.

In the darkness, a pair of blue eyes suddenly opened, Mike squeezed the wand in his hand and stared at the corner of the stairs.

He had a hunch that the enemy was about to appear.

Mike's hunch was not bad at all. After a while, a Slytherin student with a glowing wand appeared in front of Mike, and listening to the sound, there should be many people behind him.

With the light, the Slytherin student spotted Mike in the dark almost immediately.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he started to step back quickly, and the expression on his face was very exciting.

"It's Mike! Mike Townley is here! Be careful everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, Mike heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd behind the man. Obviously, these people were shocked by their own names.

The corners of Mike's mouth rose, and he was not surprised by the performance of these people. It's not surprising that these people would behave like this with the illustrious reputation he has made at Hogwarts over the years. .

The commotion of the crowd continued, and Mike stood still.

If possible, he would really like to send a fireball directly to all these people, but unfortunately he can't do it at this stage, otherwise not only the Ministry of Magic, but even Dumbledore and the school's top management will not let him go.

After a while, the commotion in the opposite Umbridge team finally stopped. The Slytherin students who had appeared in front of Mike at the beginning had long since disappeared, replaced by three adults in uniform. people.

Judging from the uniforms on their bodies and the badges on their chests, these people should be staff of the Ministry of Magic, but their uniforms are different from those of the Aurors. Mike guessed that they should all be strikers.

Strikers and Aurors, these two organizations constitute the regular military forces of the Ministry of Magic and even the entire European wizarding society, among which the Aurors exist as elite combat forces.

Not only are they very strong individually, but they also have a very high teamwork ability, and they can cooperate with each other to release some combination spells.

And if the Aurors are elite special forces, the striker is the ordinary army.

They are numerous in number, and their individual combat effectiveness is not high, but they also have the ability to cooperate as a team.

In previous wars, these strikers were often used as cannon fodder.

The moment he saw them, Mike's brows furrowed.

This is not to say that Mike is afraid of these strikers, but that these people can already represent a lot of things when they appear here. You must know that strikers, like Aurors, represent the Ministry of Magic!

At this moment, Umbridge's chubby figure squeezed out of the crowd and stood behind the batters.

"Aha! Mike!" Umbridge said triumphantly, hiding behind the batters, as if afraid of Mike's sudden attack. It's a pity that those batters are all well-proportioned, and they can't hide her huge monster at all, "I knew it was you who was making trouble in the dark! Now I've caught it!"

Seeing her scared and proud look, Mike wanted to laugh very much, but for the purpose of delaying time, Mike seemed to forcibly hold back his smile and said:

"Oh? You said you were acting in secret. Do you have any evidence?"

The smug look on Umbridge's face became more obvious. She wanted to say something, but a Slytherin beside her suddenly grabbed her and said something to her.

Immediately afterwards, Umbridge's face changed greatly, and he waved to Mike and shouted:

"Don't let him delay time, grab him!"

Hearing that, the strikers waved their wands in unison, while the Slytherins behind them hid behind the strikers and secretly held cold guns.

Mike shook his head, seeing that the procrastination plan failed, and the ink was no longer there. With a wave of his wand, a translucent mist like a veil enveloped him!

Stay safe!

When the batters saw Mike's actions, their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly withdrew the output magic power and deployed their armor to protect themselves.

However, the Slytherins behind him had no intention of retreating, and were still holding cold guns with grinning faces.

"Shashashasha!"

Dozens of spells of different colors fell on the 'veil' in front of Mike in an instant, but the next moment, the Slytherins' grins froze, because those spells were touching the 'veil'. ' was reversed in an instant and began to reflect in all directions!

Mike smiled.

The Safeguarding Charm can deflect most of the incoming curses. If you release this protection curse during a group battle, the deflected curse will undoubtedly injure allies by mistake, but now Mike is fighting alone!

And the battle location is still a small place like the entrance of the stairs, the deflection effect of the security guard can be said to be outstanding!

"Merlin's beard!"

"Damn, who put the disarming spell! My wand is gone!"

"Ah! It's the front teeth competition! Woohoo!"

...

For a time, as the spell was constantly being bounced back, the crowd was in chaos.

The faces of the batters turned black. They had long seen that Mike was not an easy enemy to deal with. Originally, they felt that with their mutual cooperation, they should be able to fight against each other, but now there are so many pig teammates behind them. What should I do! ?

This time, the Slytherins did not dare to attack at will after suffering, and the strikers maintained a vigilant attitude and watched Mike.

The longer the Safeguarding Charm lasts, the more the Charm is deflected, and the more mana the caster consumes.

So the batters are waiting, waiting for the moment when Mike's magic power is exhausted to attack.

It's a pity that they obviously underestimated the magic power level in Mike's body. With their attack intensity, Mike can last a few days and nights alone without any problem.

And Mike did not shoot to attack the Slytherins.

It was understandable to use Ping An to guard them before, but if he really took the initiative to attack them, it would be unreasonable.

For a time, the scene inside the stairs turned out to be a strange stalemate!
