Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

In the end, Lupin and Tonks' wedding was set for July 1, and the venue was set at an old manor in Castle Combe.

Strictly speaking, this is not a good day. The traditional wedding auspicious day in the country is after the autumn harvest with abundant food and before Christmas. This is because if a woman conceives at this time, the child can be born in the autumn harvest season with abundant food, and the survival rate will be reduced. will greatly increase.

Although modern society no longer has to worry about food issues, but because of the traditional relationship, this custom is still preserved.

The reason why Lupin and Tonks set the time at this time is completely considering that Voldemort will invade the wizarding world and the war will start again. Of course, this is also to facilitate Harry and the others to participate smoothly. wedding.

After all, if the time is set for July 1, Mike and the others don’t need to go home after the Hogwarts holiday, they can go directly to the wedding scene.

Also, the place they choose to marry is interesting.

Although Fort Combe is called Fort, it is not a castle, but a small town.

Located in the southern part of the Cotswolds, it is the best preserved medieval town in the country.

All the buildings in the town maintain the style of the 12th to 15th centuries, and the environment is beautiful and the folk customs are simple. Although it is not well-known now, it has become one of the best tourist attractions in the country in later generations.

It is also for the above-mentioned reasons that the overall painting style of Fort Combe is very strange, like a town in a fairy tale.

Of course, that is the result of the repair and maintenance of the buildings here in later generations. Now Fort Combe is still a remote town that is so dilapidated that no one wants to go to it. Most of the buildings inside are dilapidated due to disrepair. The permanent residents are even less than two hundred.

Such a remote and backward town now belongs to the kind of place where birds don't shit.

The estate where Lupin and Tonks got married belonged to the Black family, and of course, it has now been given to Lupin by Black for their marriage and future life.

In fact, Blake wanted to give Lupin and Tonks another property of his family in London, because it was more prosperous and closer to him, but Lupin and Tonks sternly refused, on the grounds that they In the future, they will live in seclusion. In order to reduce the probability of being discovered by Voldemort and Death Eaters, this remote town is their best home.

Mike's expression was very strange when he heard the news, because he knew very well that the place would then become a famous tourist destination, and Lupin and the others' desire to live in seclusion was probably going to come to nothing.

Of course, Harry didn't know anything about all this.

Everyone maintained a tacit agreement that Harry should not know everything about Lupin and Tonks' marriage.

This may seem cruel, but it is impossible.

Harry has not yet fully mastered Occlumency. If rashly telling Harry the specific time and place of Lupin and Tonks' marriage is equivalent to telling Voldemort, then the marriage scene is likely to become another battlefield.

Harry is well aware of this, so he is not at all dissatisfied, after all, he does not want to see tragedy happen.

After discussing matters related to Lupin and Tonks' wedding, Mike and the others got up and went back to the school, but at this time the school was already in chaos.

At this time in previous years, Hogwarts was always full of laughter,

Everyone frolics in the castle, and the professors turn a blind eye to the students' illegal behavior.

But now Hogwarts Castle is silent, and almost all the students of the academy hide in the lounge of their own academy and dare not go out except for necessary meals.

Because Mike and others concealed the fact that Voldemort had appeared during the night of the Ministry of Magic, many people still naively thought that the night of the Ministry of Magic was just an ordinary terrorist attack organized by the Death Eaters.

As for the man who couldn't even mention his name, he should still be lying in the grave now.

But now they all panicked as soon as the report of the Daily Prophet came out. The consequences of the collapse of belief were quite serious. The entire Hogwarts was instantly occupied by an atmosphere of panic. Many students were the first to know the news. He cried and ran to the professor's office, saying that he was going home now.

For this kind of request, the professors certainly do not allow it.

You must know that at this time, there is no safer place in the entire wizarding world than Hogwarts. After all, it is guarded by Dumbledore, the strongest white wizard of the time.

If you can, professors and even students don't leave Hogwarts all summer.

Of course, this is not possible, and parents of students will not allow them to do so, especially during these unsettled times, when parents always have to see their children to feel at ease.

But no matter what age or group there are always idiots, and despite the professors' efforts to explain it, their refusal to leave school early has caused further panic among the student body.

The students had no choice but to turn to their parents for help with the professors. Therefore, in just one morning, Dumbledore's office was filled with fiery red roaring letters, all of which were from the parents of the students. sent by them.

And just when the entire Hogwarts was in a panic, there was one group that was particularly comfortable, and they were the Slytherins.

Looking at the fearful faces around them, the Slytherin students could hardly breathe.

Others are afraid of Voldemort, they are not.

You must know that Voldemort came from their Slytherins, not to mention that many of their elders were former Death Eaters. In their opinion, the famous Voldemort was actually their own.

As soon as they learned of Voldemort's return, the Slytherin students started a carnival. They wandered freely in Hogwarts Castle, celebrating Voldemort's return, and intimidating everyone they encountered. , and even the targets of their intimidation included some professors who were not so strong.

The Slytherins' behavior was temporarily ignored by the professors as the major professors were all too busy dealing with the shouting letters.

It's just that Slytherin obviously doesn't think that the behavior of the professors is considered by them to be fear of Voldemort, which makes them start to bully other students even more, and some excessive Slytherins even block Hufflepuff. Come to the gate of the academy.

What Mike and the others saw when they returned from St. Mungo's was such a mess. Hogwarts was empty, and the walls and floors were full of various patterns painted with green paint. The most common one was the toilet. It is the snake pattern representing Slytherin House. But that's not much, because Mike even saw Voldemort's skull logo in some hidden corners!

"God!" Hermione, who had witnessed the green patterns, was so angry that her voice trembled, "How dare they...how dare they do this? What about Filch? In the past, even if a student brought muddy water into the castle, he would They'll all go crazy, what's going on now?"

Mike patted Hermione's back for comfort, while Harry and Ron on the side were also very angry.

They even started to use cleaning spells such as clear springs such as water spells on those patterns, but unfortunately, these cleaning spells that were effective in the past did not have any effect on those patterns. Obviously, the Slytherin local tyrants used them It is a water- and spell-proof magic ink.

In desperation, the few people had to continue walking in the direction of the auditorium, and as soon as they arrived at the auditorium, they knew why Filch hadn't cleaned up those damn graffiti.

I saw Filch's whole body was bound upside down in the air by a strange force, and around him were five or six senior Slytherin students, some of whom were using green ink-stained ink. The quill smeared something on Filch, and some were laughing.

Filch was in a very bad state at the moment, and could only float in the air and let those students do what they did.

If it weren't for the constant flow of tears in his eyes, Mike and the others would have almost thought he was dead!

Although Filch was indeed a nasty guy, and he even helped atrocities during Umbridge's time, but at this time Harry and the others were not in the slightest gloating mood, even Hermione couldn't help it. Covered his mouth.

And those Slytherins also discovered Mike and others at the first time. They were all stunned, as if they were surprised that people from other academies dared to wander outside during this period.

Then almost instinctively, they started laughing and approached Mike and the others, but after getting close, they finally found Mike who was standing at the front.

For a moment, the smiles on their faces froze. Mike's fierce name has spread throughout Hogwarts, and even in some circles outside the school, they dare not provoke him.

The tradition of Slytherins is to judge the situation. It can be said that every Slytherin is a human being, except for an emotional Malfoy, so the Slytherins who seem to be very senior almost immediately turned around. Run towards the outside of the auditorium.

It seemed that it was a bit of a shame to walk away like this, and one of the Slytherins even gave Mike a middle finger quickly before disappearing into the auditorium.

Mike was a little speechless, while Harry and Hermione stepped forward quickly and freed Filch who was hanging upside down.

Only at this moment did everyone see Filch's tragic state. They saw that his face was flushed from the excessive congestion, and the clothes on his body were tattered, and they could even see through the holes in the clothes. Black bruises.

"Why would they do this? Aren't they with Filch?"

Harry frowned, in his opinion Filch and Slytherins were a bunch of bad guys, there was no difference.

"The reason is very simple." Mike said indifferently, while he took some white fresh from his package and smeared it on Filch's wound, "Because Filch is a squib, and they are pure blood. "

As soon as Ron said this, it was not bad, and Harry and Hermione's faces showed incomprehensible confusion.

"Just because of this?"

Hermione frowned.

"That's right."

"It's unreasonable!"

"No, that's easy to understand." Mike said, "Voldemort's pure-blood supremacy theory will further improve the social status of pure-bloods, making it easier for them to squeeze half-bloods and Muggle wizards. As a vested interest, It's understandable that some purebloods support Voldemort unconditionally, after all, it's good for them. You know, due to the passage of time, many ancient pureblood families have fallen, and Voldemort's actions are likely to make They're back to glory!"

Hermione's expression suddenly became complicated. As a scholar, she could easily understand Mike's meaning, while Harry next to him was still confused.

It's just that Mike didn't want to explain it further for them at this time. Others don't know, but he is very clear.

Those Slytherins who left just now didn't just run away. With Slytherin's temperament, they probably went back and called people. So after initially applying some medicine to Filch to keep him alive, Mike raised his head and said:

"Okay, we should go."

With that, Mike waved his arm, letting Filch float behind him again and start walking towards Ravenclaw's lounge.

...

In the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike's return eased the initially tense atmosphere in the lounge, and everyone came out of the bedroom one after another and gathered in the lounge to look at Mike in the center.

As Mike's college, almost everyone in Ravenclaw has a mysterious confidence in Mike.

This confidence makes them feel that as long as Mike is there, they won't be hurt, even if Voldemort is there!

In a sense, Mack's prestige within Ravenclaw has even reached the level of Professor Dumbledore Flitwick.

Of course, that's exactly what Mike wanted, and the result of his constant efforts over the past five years.

After arriving in the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike handed over Filch, who was still in a state of confusion, to other students for treatment, and he himself learned from the students that Hogwarts had changed this morning.

"How...how dare they..."

Hermione said it over and over again, her body was shaking, obviously angry.

To be honest, Mike thinks that she really looks like Professor McGonagall now, which is very funny.

But at this time, he obviously wouldn't make such a joke.

So Mike coughed and pressed down the corners of his mouth that had been raised slightly, pretending to be serious and saying:

"Looks like it's time for the army to work again!"

As soon as these words came out, Harry and the others were all stunned, while the faces of the others around them all showed excited smiles.

They are all members of the mutual aid society. They had missed the Ministry of Magic night because of Mike's orders. Now they finally have a few who can prove themselves in front of Mike!
