Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

With the concerted efforts of everyone, a sumptuous lunch was placed on the long table.

As Mike had guessed before, Mrs. Weasley had indeed killed three chickens for Harry's birthday.

From this point, it can be seen that Mrs. Weasley is really raising Harry as her own son.

Just when everyone had set up the tableware, George finally came back.

And he came back with Sirius Black, Lupin and his wife, Fred, and a heavyweight - Dumbledore.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Dumbledore, including Harry himself, no one thought that Dumbledore would come in person.

Immediately, everyone stood up and said hello to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore waved his hand with a smile, motioning for everyone to sit down.

Harry, Mike and others naturally sat down obediently, while Black and George Fred were even more indifferent. They passed Dumbledore with a smile, and found their own seats and sat down.

Sirius was dressed in the same flamboyant bag as in the past, and Mike's eyes were dazzled by the suit embroidered with complicated patterns.

But he obviously didn't care about it, since he entered the room, he only had Harry in his eyes.

"Oh! Harry, why do you look so thin, haven't you eaten well these days?"

Sirius sat next to Harry and said nervously, while Harry was stunned. He has been fed delicious food and drink at Weasley's house for the past few days, not only did he not lose weight, but he also gained weight I don't know how Blake can see that he has lost weight.

Harry opened his mouth wide and wanted to make some excuses, but before he could say anything, Black shoved a huge long gift box into his arms.

"This is a gift from me, open it and have a look!"

Blake said with bright eyes.

Seeing Black's expectant look, Harry couldn't refuse, and opened the gift box directly.

Lying quietly inside was a broom, tied with a bunch of purple silk ribbons, with a strange emblem painted on it.

"My God! It's a custom Firebolt for the Irish Quidditch team!"

Looking at Harry's wide-eyed look of surprise,

Blake on the side laughed happily.

At this time, Lupine also placed a huge gift box on the long table and opened it.

Inside is a beautiful three-layer cake, with circles of strawberries placed on the snow-white cake, and the top of the cake is written in bright red jam-Happy Harry Potter's 16th birthday hapiness.

"Tonks made this with his own hands." Lupine said proudly, "I can guarantee that you will be the most delicious cake you have ever eaten in your life!"

Tonks on the side blushed when she heard the words, she shyly hid in Lupin's arms, and kept poking and poking her fingers on Lupin's waist.

Lupine, on the other hand, looked happy.

Seeing this, Harry and Mike were a little confused. In the end, Harry could only politely say thank you, but Lupine, who was making out with Tonks, didn't seem to hear it.

On the other hand, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley are different. They obviously regard Dumbledore more seriously. Mr. Weasley, who was originally sitting in the first seat, immediately stood up when he saw Dumbledore's arrival, intending to Give up his position to Dumbledore.

Naturally, Dumbledore refused to do this. How could a guest come to the host's house and then occupy the main seat? This kind of anti-guest-oriented behavior is extremely rude!

Mr. Weasley couldn't hold back Dumbledore, so in the end Dumbledore chose to sit beside Mike.

"We meet again, Mike."

Dumbledore greeted Mike with a smile.

The latter raised his eyebrows and whispered:

"I'm curious as to why you are here."

"It's no surprise, Harry sent me an invitation, so here I am."

"You know that's not what I mean! I mean you shouldn't be busy investigating the locket and Voldemort right now?"

"Oh, my Mike. These things are not in a hurry. The top priority now should be that Hogwarts is about to start school, and you should put the focus of your life back on your studies. Just leave the other things to us. It will be fine, my lord."

Dumbledore spoke earnestly, and it could be seen that he really hoped that Mike could treat life as he said.

Unfortunately, Mike didn't think so.

Voldemort can't feel at ease until he gets rid of him.

Mike originally planned to argue with Dumbledore for a few more words, but at this moment Mr. Weasley, who was sitting in the first place, suddenly coughed.

Everyone who was still chatting turned their heads to look, and they saw that Mr. Weasley of this gram looked extremely nervous. His whole body was tense and his face was flushed. It was obvious that the feeling of sitting on the main seat gave him a lot of pressure, especially It was when Dumbledore was sitting in the seat of his lower head.

"Well, I think it's time for us to start." Mr. Weasley said uncertainly, "What do you think?"

"Oh! Of course, of course we should start, after all, all the guests have arrived!" Mrs. Weasley, who was still chatting with Tonks, finally came to her senses at this time, and quickly got up and said, "But in Before we start, we first want to offer our blessings to our protagonist today, how about we all sing the birthday song together?"

Mrs. Weasley's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, so in a jubilant atmosphere, everyone sang the familiar birthday song one after another.

Under everyone's gaze, Harry made a wish with his eyes flushed, and then blew out the candle.

What followed was a burst of booing and cake sharing.

Mike participated in it with a smile on his face, and he even took the initiative to cut the cake.

But in fact he felt very bored.

It can be seen that the Weasleys put a lot of thought into this birthday party, and they even took the initiative to learn about Muggle habits in order to give Harry an authentic Muggle birthday.

But in Mike's view, this is really boring, and there is nothing new.

However, Harry was very moved when faced with such a set birthday party routine.

Mike guessed it was because he never had a good birthday.

Finally, the banquet resumed its original atmosphere again, and Mr. Weasley, who was at the head of the table, also recovered a lot. At this moment, he talked about interesting things about his work again. Said it made no difference.

Such a boring conversation must not go on, so, with the presence of children, the topic continued smoothly to the OWLS exam that just ended not long ago.

Despite the impact of Voldemort's comeback, the report card of the OWLS exam was successfully distributed to every student not long ago.

As soon as this topic was discussed, Hermione became the focus of the scene without any surprise. There was no way to do it. Who made her OWLS test scores almost explode, except that she got a good score in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. All subjects received excellent marks.

In the words of Dumbledore, this is not an easy task.

But Hermione herself lowered her head shyly in the face of everyone's praise.

Mike knew very well that Hermione must be ashamed now.

Because her goal from the very beginning is to get full marks, only in this way can she become the top part of Hogwarts students, but unfortunately, since their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was Wu Muliqi at that time, Hermione was not Without studying hard, this will lead to only good grades in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

But in the eyes of Harry and Ron, such a result was already very scary. After all, Harry only got an excellent in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and almost all other subjects were passed, not even History of Magic!

And Ron was even more exaggerated. He didn't even have an excellent grade, and he failed in Divination and History of Magic.

Mrs. Weasley was very dissatisfied with his grades. She frowned and looked at Ron, and said dissatisfiedly:

"You should learn more from Hermione, otherwise you might not even be able to support yourself after graduation!"

After all, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley looked at each other, and then they both sighed in unison.

On the other hand, George and Fred laughed happily.

Ron's face was flushed, and he muttered dissatisfiedly:

"I don't understand! I have passed seven exams, which is more than George and Fred combined!"

As soon as this remark came out, the laughter of George and Fred stopped abruptly, while Mrs. Weasley gave Ron a head bump unceremoniously.

"George and Fred can now open a shop in France, can you do it? If not, then study hard for me and try to find a stable job after graduation!"

Facing his mother's different treatment, Ron was so wronged that he almost cried, while his little sister Ginny came to his brother silently, comforting him secretly.

"What a good boy." Dumbledore looked at Ginny with a smile, but then turned his head to look at Mike as if he suddenly thought of it and said, "By the way, Mike. How are your grades?"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of everyone at the dining table gathered.

Obviously, everyone was very curious about what kind of results Mike, currently the strongest student at Hogwarts, could get in the test.

However, Mike, who was watched by everyone, looked a little embarrassed, because he had never received his report card at all.

This is not because the Ministry of Magic missed Mike when distributing the transcripts, but because the Masonic Secret Realm where Mike lives now cannot be detected by the Ministry of Magic at all, so the owl can only mail the transcripts to Godry Townley Cottage in the Valley of the Oaks.

"Uh, wait a minute." Mike hesitated for a while, then snapped his fingers out of thin air.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

Shu Ke, who was wearing a tuxedo butler uniform, appeared out of nowhere and bowed to Mike.

"Shu Ke, have you seen my OWLS report card?"

"Yes, master, I have put it away for you. Here it is."

After receiving the report card from Shu Ke, Mike opened it with a calm face, and the people around him also gathered together.

I saw that the report card was clearly written in anti-alteration ink containing magic power,

McTownley's results are as follows:

Astronomy-E (Good)

Charms-O (Excellent)

Defense Against the Dark Arts - O (Excellent)

Herbalism-O (Excellent)

History of Magic-E (Good)

Ancient Magic Literature-O (Excellent)

Muggleology-A (pass)

Transfiguration-O (Excellent)

Potions-O (Excellent)

A total of nine courses, astronomy and history of magic exams are relatively poor, all got E.

Mike is quite satisfied with this. After all, Mike felt that the two courses of astronomy and history of magic had no effect on his strength, so he didn't take them seriously at all, so getting an E is already very good.

As for the Muggle studies that just passed, Mike didn't go to a few classes, and even if he did, he wouldn't listen carefully.

Mike originally thought that he had passed the course. After all, Muggle studies in the wizarding world is really weird. Mike just filled up the test paper when he took the exam.

It is estimated that the reason why he passed now is entirely because of the face given by the Muggleology professor for the sake of driving Umbridge away and having a considerable status in the school.

There is nothing to say about the rest of the courses, all of which are O (excellent) without Mike's accident.

But it is worth mentioning that Potions, Mike originally planned to give up this cumbersome course, after all, there is already a quasi-potions master Benjamin in the Freemasonry, but Snape gave Mike a very stern warning, It is said that since Mike took his textbook from that year, then Potions is not allowed to have a grade lower than O level, otherwise he will peel Mike's skin.

At first Mike didn't take this matter to heart, after all he wasn't very afraid of Snape.

It's just that Snape's tone and expression at that time were very scary. Mike felt that if he didn't agree, Snape would probably do something extreme, so he went to Benjamin to do a pre-examination surprise. Now it seems that the effect It is also very good.

"Wow! Mike, you did really well in the exam!"

Harry's eyes sparkled when he saw Mike's report card.

Especially the big O written behind Potions on the report card made him particularly envious.

Harry's dream was to be an Auror, there was no question about that. It's just that Professor McGonagall clearly pointed out in the previous employment consultation that if he wants to become an Auror, then the Potions score in the OWLS exam must be O, because Snape is only willing to get O in OWLS Potions. Level-level students provide level-level courses, and the most basic condition for becoming an Auror is at least five good certificates, and potion science is one of them.

It's a pity that Harry only got an E in the Potions test this time, which means that he has lost his qualifications to become an Auror.

Thinking of this, Harry's expression suddenly lost, and his originally bright eyes dimmed.

But at this moment, Mike's words rekindled Harry's hope!
