Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

As the chair flew into the sky, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the store suddenly suffocated.

George and Fred had regrets in their eyes, as if to regret not seeing Mike embedded in the ceiling.

Mr. Weasley bounced off the sofa with a look of horror.

As for Mrs Weasley, her already smiling face was clouded again.

"George! Fred!"

An extremely suppressed roar came from his throat, and both the Weasley brothers shivered.

"Listen to me, Mom! It was just an accident!"

"That's right, that chair was left to us by the original owner, and we didn't know such a thing would happen!"

"Also, Dad. You don't have to be so nervous, the sofa chair you're sitting on is fine, we checked it out ourselves before!"

"Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" Mrs. Weasley jumped up from the high chair. "Apologize to Mike!"

...

After a commotion, Mike reluctantly accepted the insincere apology from the Weasley brothers.

Although he couldn't stand the mischief of the two brothers, he was far from angry. After all, the Weasley brothers had been friends with him for many years, and it could be called a deep relationship.

And after staying in the dark night in the new store of the two Weasley brothers, Mike also made a request to leave, and the Weasley brothers agreed with both hands.

As for the Weasleys, they were thoroughly persuaded by George and Fred.

They will live in Paris for a few days to get a good taste of French life.

Oh, right.

The Weasley brothers also announced that they would take the two of them to a French-style circus performance of Fantastic Creatures, which the Weasleys were both interested in.

But Mike was indifferent, because he had seen the introduction of the Circus of Fantastic Creatures in related books.

This kind of circus, which uses the domestication of various magical creatures as a performance, was very popular a few decades ago, but with more and more accidents and more sympathy for magical creatures in society, today's performance has become more and more popular. became extremely boring.

As a result, Mike returned to Hogwarts alone.

And he had just returned to Hogwarts when he saw the three Harry who were waiting for him.

"Mike, why did you come back alone, where are my parents?"

Ron asked eagerly, and Harry and Hermione on the side also looked at Mike suspiciously.

"They were kept by George and Fred." Mike shook his head, "Your brothers said to honor them well."

"Damn it! If I knew I was going too, the two of them would definitely buy them a lot of things in order to coax their parents! If I go too, then I'll have a share too!"

Hearing that, a black line appeared on Harry, Hermione and Mike's faces, and they all felt very speechless towards Ron.

"It's okay," Mike said with a smile, "I've brought you a present."

"Really?"*2

Harry and Ron's eyes lit up as soon as this remark came out, while Hermione on the side pretended to be indifferent and deliberately looked away, but under Mike's observation, she found that she still would occasionally She peeked at herself and looked so cute.

"First of all, Ron and Harry's, of course."

Mike said, and took out two sets of Quidditch protective gear from the seamless stretch pocket and handed them to the two.

He bought both sets of protective gear from the French national team souvenir shop that Mr. Weasley complained about.

It is said that it is still a joint model. Although the quality is excellent, the price is several times more expensive.

"This is..." Harry looked at the set of Quidditch protective gear in his hand in surprise, but his expression changed suddenly when he saw the French Quidditch national team logo on the protective gear. Is it the French team's protective gear? God, why do they have the face to sell the surrounding Quidditch protective gear?"

"That's right," Ron echoed, "I guess they must be crazy about money!"

Mike on the side looked embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't know the relationship between the various Quidditch teams.

It's just that now it seems that it's flattering on the horse's leg.

Harry and Ron on the side also noticed Mike's expression. Harry reacted first and said:

"But the quality of this set of protective gear is still good, as long as we go back and remove this team logo, it will be a good set of protective gear again!"

Ron seemed surprised that Harry would say such a thing, but under the hint of Harry's eyes, he finally found that Mike's expression was not very good, and finally nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Okay, as long as you like it." Mike shook his head with a smile, then looked at Hermione next to him, "Then it's a present for Hermione. Hermione, what are you still doing standing there? to get your present."

Hermione, who was on the side, finally came over when she heard the words.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mike took out one beautifully packaged gift box after another from the space pocket.

"This is the magic perfume from Madame Romain Rolland, it's a star flower. This is the comprehensive treatment water from the Mankas beauty store, which is said to keep the skin hydrated. This is also from the Mankas beauty store. , but it's a bottle of conditioner, I've tried it, and it works really well, it doesn't have the pungent smell of normal conditioners, and it lasts for a long time..."

In a short while, Hermione's hands were filled with all kinds of exquisite gift boxes.

Harry and Ron's eyes were about to pop out. They looked at the gift box in Hermione's arms, and at the Quidditch protective gear in their arms. They were speechless for a while.

Hermione's eyes lit up.

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. The reason why Hermione is usually a little sloppy is just because it takes too much time for makeup and other matters, and she doesn't have that much time.

But after thinking for a moment, Hermione's eyes turned firm again, and she decisively handed the pile of gifts back to Mike.

"Sorry! It's too expensive! I can't take it!"

Hearing Hermione's slightly trembling voice, Mike shook his head with a smile and said:

"This is a piece of my heart. If you don't accept it, I will be sad."

"Yeah! Mike is a big tyrant, it's nothing to him!" Ron said so, and Harry, who was tangled for a while, also said, "Hermione, just accept it."

"But Penello hasn't."

Hermione said with a tangled face, and everyone could see that she really liked these things.

"Hahaha," Mike laughed when he heard this, "don't worry, I have already prepared Penello's share."

"Really?"

"certainly!"

Mike didn't lie. In fact, among the gifts he purchased this time, Harry and Ron's gifts were the lowest in value, and the gifts he bought for Penello even included a stick of cosmetics in addition to the same cosmetics as Hermione. A sapphire necklace worth five thousand gold Galleons, if this is said, I am afraid that Hermione will not be as happy as she is now.

Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, Hermione finally accepted the gift with a half push, and everyone returned to their dormitories after continuing to chat about the Weasley Brothers' shop for a while.

...

A week later, the exam that made everyone nervous finally came.

This day Mike got up early as usual and went to the restaurant to have breakfast while watching the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.

Although it has been a long time, the Daily Prophet is still publishing negative news about Dumbledore.

Mike shook his head and put the newspaper down.

He feels that the current Daily Prophet has gradually lost its qualifications as a free media, and now it has almost become the voice of the Ministry of Magic.

What made him even more incredible was that Harry and Ron appeared in the auditorium.

It's just that the main purpose of the two of them coming to the auditorium is not to eat breakfast, but to watch Hermione's review notes together.

Mike would not comment on their cramming.

In fact, there are still many people in the auditorium who are doing their last efforts like them. Instead, they are usually the most hardworking students, like Hermione, who are extremely calm at this time.

They drank tea and chewed bread calmly, and at the same time looked at the students who were chomping on words and even ignoring breakfast with sympathetic eyes.

Seeing this, Mike finally understood why people like Hermione couldn't make friends. This kind of behavior is really hateful.

"Jingle Bell!"

A delicate mechanical bird flew out of the wall clock on the wall of the restaurant, and it made a crisp sound as it flew.

Hearing this sound, most of the people in the auditorium stood up - this sound reminded them that the first exam was about to start.

Harry and Ron on the other side were still holding the book, but unfortunately time was waiting for no one, and they finally stood up under Hermione's repeated urging.

At this time, Professor Flitwick, who was nervous, also came to the classroom. He looked at the students who were chaotic and said helplessly and loudly:

"Students, please be quiet."

After hearing the words, everyone quieted down for a while, and then he continued:

"Although many students already know the specific process of the OWLS exam, now I will go through it again. The whole oOWLS exam will last for two weeks, and during these two weeks you will face the exam of twelve OWLS courses. Of course, I know this density is a bit scary, but in fact you only need to apply for the courses you choose, which means that the fewer courses you take, the more time you have to rest.

Also, today as the first day, the first test we will face is my Charms class. The test of the Charms class will be divided into two parts: a written test and a practical test. The written test will be conducted in the auditorium later, while the practical test will be conducted in the magic spell training room in the afternoon. At that time, there will be professionals from the Ministry of Magic's Wizarding Examinations Bureau and the International United Wizarding Society to give you questions, invigilate, review and mark your papers. Please note that here I have to once again solemnly warn you! The papers of the written test are all subject to the strictest anti-cheating spells, and it is strictly forbidden to bring automatic answering quills into the examination hall. In addition, memory balls, removable entrainment cuffs and automatic error correction ink are also prohibited. At the end of the exam, the examiner will use the Flying Spell to take away the exam paper, so remember! Don't try to cheat, understand? Because this will not only make you pass the test, but may also invalidate all your grades in other subjects!

All right! It's getting late, now! Everyone left the auditorium, and we will notify you to enter when the staff has finished setting up the examination room. "

After saying that, the students moved and walked out slowly from the main entrance of the auditorium.

A tense atmosphere permeated this huge team, and under this atmosphere, even the most naughty students did not dare to make a sound.

But Mike is different, although he is as silent as the people around him, but his heart is excited!

He has never taken the exam several times in two lifetimes!

Not to mention such a large exam!

To be honest, the OWLS this time gave him the illusion that he was taking the college entrance examination. He must know that going to college was once his childhood dream, but unfortunately the circumstances at the time did not allow him to study, let alone take the college entrance examination. .

He didn't even go to an adult university!

But Mike once fantasized about the scene of the college entrance examination, and the scene in that fantasy turned out to be infinitely close to the scene of the OWLS test!

This makes Mike feel very excited!

And just when Mike was thinking about it, Professor Flitwick appeared in front of everyone again.

Professor Flitwick looked even more nervous than the candidates taking the exam. He was sweating all over his face, and the front of the dress he usually only wore during grand banquets was even more so. soaked in sweat.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Professor Flitwick said:

"Okay, come in, students, the exam is about to start."

With that, Professor Flitwick moved away and let the students into the auditorium, casting encouraging glances at every student who passed by.

And when Mike came in, Professor Flitwick patted his shoulder heavily.

Professor Flitwick's concern was clearly felt by Mike, but he did not reply, but just nodded heavily to him and entered the auditorium.

In the auditorium at this time, the four long tables that originally belonged to the four major colleges have disappeared, replaced by small single tables separated far away.

At this moment, a test paper and a set of quills are neatly placed on the table top of each small table. There are even dozens of staff members of the Wizarding Examination Bureau scattered in the spacious auditorium. They are all old men and women, but they look imposing.

This is not surprising at all. If nothing else, these short two weeks should be the most majestic time of the year for these people, and it is understandable to be proud.

"Now, take your seats according to the number plates you were handed out!"

With the order of the white-bearded old man at the front of the auditorium, Mike and others took action, which also represented the official start of the OWLS exam!
