Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Mike, you are a famous person. When I retire at home, I often hear news about you. I have to say, you are really an amazing young man!"

As soon as Mike and Emma sat down, Professor Sgrahorne spoke to Mike enthusiastically.

It's just that Mike just responded politely. He knew very well that this kind of person only values ​​interests, and has no value in deep friendship at all.

Seeing this, Professor Sgrahorne was not angry, he turned his head and started to communicate with Emma.

He first praised Emma from head to toe, and then he tentatively inquired about the Emma family, showing great enthusiasm.

However, after he knew that Emma's family's business had been extremely poor recently due to Voldemort's return, and he was almost going bankrupt, his attitude changed sharply, and he became not indifferent.

At this time, other people also arrived, so Professor Slughorn's attention naturally shifted to others, and began to extract information from the other party.

This behavior made Emma very dissatisfied. She pouted and approached Mike and said in a low voice:

"He's such a snob, no wonder my parents didn't like him!"

"There's no need to worry about it." Mike shook his head with a smile, "This kind of person is just a clown."

Emma nodded vigorously when she heard the words, and then began to introduce the identities of these people to Mike.

"Look, that black-haired boy is named Belby Marcos, he has nothing to say about himself, but his uncle invented the wolf's poison potion and won the Merlin Medal for it!

And that sissy-looking man, his name is Shabini, and his mother is the famous Black Widow! She has been married seven times, but each husband died extremely strangely, leaving her with only a huge inheritance! We're all talking about Shabini's mother who designed those poor people to die, she was a complete cousin! We don't want to play with him. and also……"

Mike felt a little speechless. He found that Emma was like an all-knowing intelligence commissioner who could tell anyone's family situation.

But soon, Emma could no longer speak.

Because when everyone found out that Mike was also here, everyone except the black guy from Slytherin gathered around Mike and started chatting and laughing with Mike.

This made Professor Slughorn a little unbelievable,

Because from what he learned, Mike was just a Muggle-born wizard.

Although Mike has won the Triwizard Cup and won the Merlin Second Class Medal, so what?

Mike's Triwizard Cup was won with Harry, whom Slughorn strongly suspects he rubbed off on Harry, and the Merlin Medal was won for protecting a carload of classmates from Dementors. of.

Slughorn felt so absurd about it that he even began to feel that the standards of Merlin awarded by the Ministry of Magic were too low.

You must know that the Dementors were still slaves of the Ministry of Magic at the time, and even if they borrowed 10,000 courage, they would not dare to blatantly attack the students on the Hogwarts Express.

To sum up, in Slater Ghorn's eyes, Mike is just a boy with better luck and some strength and talent, so he didn't pay too much attention to Mike.

Only now Professor Slughorn suddenly felt that his judgment of Mike was a little too hasty.

Seeing the respectful treatment of Mike by the people he had invited over, it was hard for Slughorn to imagine that this would be the kind of treatment a mediocre person could get.

Slughorn nodded secretly, raising Mike's status a little inwardly.

At this moment, the door of the carriage was opened again.

Ginny walked in timidly.

Seeing that it was not Harry, Slughorn's face flashed with disappointment, and he greeted him with a smile on his face, and placed Ginny on a seat in the corner.

Her arrival also attracted the attention of the others, and that conspicuous hair betrayed her identity - Weasley.

Immediately, the brows of many people in the carriage wrinkled. No matter from any point of view, the Weasley family is not qualified to stay here with them. They really don't understand why Professor Slughorn put this. The little girl comes in.

The malicious gazes of the crowd made Ginny very uneasy. She looked aggrieved, and kept squeezing towards the corner, as if she wanted to squeeze herself into the wall to hide.

Seeing this, Mike got up quickly and sat beside Ginny.

"Hey Ginny, we meet again."

Ginny was startled by the person sitting next to her suddenly, but after hearing the familiar voice, the smile on her face bloomed again.

"Mike! It's great that you're here too!"

Ginny said happily, and then whispered to Mike's ear:

"People here are so weird, they're all looking at me. Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, you're fine, it's them who have the problem."

Mike answered firmly.

Mike's answer gave Ginny courage, and she nodded heavily after hearing the words.

Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw that Mike had left them and sat next to Ginny.

They couldn't figure out why someone like Mike would get involved with the Weasleys' youngest daughter.

And Mike didn't deliberately lower his voice when talking to Ginny, so many people heard Mike say they had a problem.

There were embarrassed expressions on many people's faces.

But this also explains why Mike accompanies Ginny, that is, it is impossible to see a little girl alone in such an awkward environment.

Everyone who figured it out looked at Mike with more admiration, especially Emma, ​​whose red eyes were about to pop out.

A person as strong as Mike has a heart of gold!

This is exactly the same as the protagonist in the knight novel!

On the other side, perhaps because of the tension, Ginny continued to talk to Mike constantly:

"...It's amazing to say, I was practicing the bat essence in the carriage, and Professor Sgrahorn suddenly broke in. He said my bat essence was very good, and he invited me to lunch. Yes. Now, do you know the bat magic spell? It's the magic spell passed down by our family, it can..."

Listening to Ginny's chatter, the smile on Mike's face never disappeared.

When he read the original book in his previous life, he still hated Ginny. After all, the actress who played her was really not pretty.

But now Mike has changed his mind. Ginny is such a cute girl that people can't help but want to take care of her.

A little bit of time passed, and the guest that Sglahorn cared about most today finally arrived.

"Harry! You are here at last! Oh! Think you are Mr Longbottom?"

Sglahorn greeted Harry and Neville warmly, but Harry and Neville's expressions were very embarrassed, and they were led away by Sgrahorn like a robot.

After Harry arrived, the originally harmonious and lively atmosphere in the carriage became deserted. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Harry indifferently.

Sglahorn, apparently unaware of what was going on inside the carriage, pulled Harry to introduce him one by one to the people in the carriage and their family backgrounds.

After a circle of introductions, Sglahorn took Harry's hand again and introduced with a smile:

"This one doesn't need me to introduce more, right? This is a heavy star, we have known each other during the summer vacation. The famous 'Salvator'! Harry Potter!"

After Professor Slughorn finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding. When he wanted to invite such a famous person, everyone should applaud and welcome him.

However, the reality is that no one but Ginny and Neville welcomed Mike, no matter what Slughorn instigated.

Everyone was so silent, looking at Professor Slughorn and Harry mockingly.

There was even a sarcastic smirk from someone that made Harry flush.

At this time, the scene in the No. C compartment became somewhat similar to the previous prefect's compartment.

The people at the scene were roughly divided into three groups. Most of them gathered around Mike and looked at Harry hostilely, while Ginny, Neville and the others gathered around Harry. As for the Slytherins, they were not. It was hiding in the corner and watching from the sidelines.

At this time, Slughorn also discovered the abnormality, and his eyes rolled around, and he immediately understood.

His previous estimates of what was going on at Hogwarts were wrong.

Harry Potter's reputation at Hogwarts is obviously not as high as that kid named Mike! And 80% of the two are still hostile!

Professor Slughorn has been out for so long that he doesn't understand what's wrong here, but it doesn't matter, his strategy is to make friends, he doesn't care what Mike and Harry have. There is no contradiction!

Thinking like this, Slughorn coughed and continued:

"Okay, that's delightful. Sit down, everyone, our lunch is about to begin."

Slughorn arranged for Harry to sit beside him, then took the lunch boxes from his own basket and distributed the napkins to the crowd.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen and ladies. The licorice wands in the food trucks always smell too much, and I can't digest it as a poor old fellow," Slughorn said. Commanding the wand to open the lunch box, he said, "So I brought the food for this dinner myself, of course, if any of you are willing to share the lunch you brought, you can also take it out. A fun picnic, where everyone shared the food they brought."

The food that Professor Slughorn brought this time is very delicate, but maybe he arranged the scale of these foods according to his own food intake, which is a little awkward for Mike, the half-sized children who are in the development period. Enough to see.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, their expressions a little stunned.

To be honest, people who bring lunch on the train are either people whose family is so poor that they can’t even afford lunch on the train, or people whose family is wealthy enough to dislike the bad lunch on the train.

Few of the people present belonged to these two categories, so everyone was a little dissatisfied when they heard that.

They didn't quite understand why Slughorn invited them over but didn't prepare enough food. Was he trying to make them hungry?

But when Ginny heard the words, her eyes lit up but quickly dimmed. Out of past habit and love for her children, Mrs. Weasley still gave Ginny and Ron even though the family was no longer short of money. Everyone brought some sandwiches.

But, are those shabby sandwiches really good?

Ginny was in deep trouble.

After struggling for a while, Ginny still gritted her teeth, took out the large sandwich wrapped in greased paper from her schoolbag and placed it on the table.

"My mother made this. If... if you don't dislike it, please use it."

Ginny's voice was so soft that everyone could barely hear it, and it could be seen that the girl was very nervous now, as if she was afraid that everyone would think that the food she brought was not good enough.

It's just that the situation she was afraid of didn't happen. Everyone had clearly seen Mike's attitude towards Ginny before, so at this time, everyone including Slytherin didn't show Ginny a shabby sandwich. To be sarcastic, of course, they wouldn't touch the sandwich, after all, it didn't look very good.

Ginny's expression was a little disappointed, she could tell that these people didn't like her sandwiches very much.

She instinctively wanted to take the sandwich back, but Neville, who was quick-eyed and quick-witted, snatched the sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth while mumbling something like it was delicious, thank you, and so on.

Seeing this, many people present, including Slughorn, showed contempt. In their opinion, the only heir of the Longbottom family is afraid that his brain is not very good.

Only Ginny, who was looking at Neville in surprise.

And all this was seen by Mike. He chuckled lightly, and then snapped his fingers in the eyes of everyone's astonishment, and invited Shuke and Beta to prepare some food.

Slughorn's eyes almost straightened. He never thought that a Muggle-born wizard like Mike would have a house elf, a cherished animal that almost only exists in the hands of an ancient family!

"Mike, are these two house-elves... yours?"

"Yes."

"Really? That's really enviable. I've always wanted a house-elf, but it's too precious." Slughorn said with a look of envy. "Can you tell Where are you from?"

"Of course. Shuke and Beta were given to me by the seniors of Raven's Scratch." Mike said with a smile, "These two house elves have special meaning to me, so they can't be transferred to you. But I have two other house-elves in my hand, I can give you one if you want. But they both have a history of betraying their masters. I don't keep them with me at the moment, but keep them in the company Do some rough work."
