Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Slughorn's gaze crossed the crowd again to the entrance of the auditorium, and this time, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

It's Mike!

Slughorn was shocked, he shoved the goblet in his hand into the arms of a boy next to him, and then greeted Mike with a smile on his face.

Everything he did today was to be able to communicate his feelings with Mike. After all, what Mike showed was so amazing, which led Slughorn to directly put Mike in a very high position.

Slughorn opened his hands as he walked, as if to hug Mike, and muttered something like you're finally here.

But as soon as he approached Mike, Slughorn's body froze, and the warm smile on his face stiffened.

"Good evening, Professor Slughornhorn."

Mike nodded and greeted the other party very politely.

On the other hand, Slughorn had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, as if his muscles were stiff from laughing for too long.

After a while, Slughorn stammered and said:

"Late...good evening, Mike."

Mike chuckled lightly and walked past Slughorn towards the center of the auditorium, while Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly.

Although Mike's face was smiling just now, there was no smile in his azure blue eyes, instead it was cold and without any kindness.

It's an indescribable feeling to be watched by those eyes, it's like... It's like being eaten by the other party in the next moment!

Slughorn shuddered as he remembered those azure blue eyes.

Turning his head to look at Mike's back, Slughorn secretly made up his mind that he must never get too close to Mike in the future, as long as he maintains the current relationship.

This guy, Mike, is definitely not a kind person. It's better not to get too close to such a person.

Be cautious, this is Slughorn's secret to surviving!

And just when Slughorn was thinking about it, Mike had come to the very center of the auditorium.

He didn't need to make a sound at all, and everyone in the auditorium fell silent, staring at the blond boy in the center of the auditorium.

"Everyone, you've worked hard."

Mike's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

A deafening applause broke out in the auditorium. Looking at the situation, it was as if Mike gave a touching speech just now.

Mike raised the corner of his mouth, raised his right hand, and then the entire auditorium became quiet again.

He looked around, looking at the expectant faces around him, and continued:

"This time, everyone who participated in the operation will receive a bonus of 10 Galleons, and you can go to Franklin tomorrow to claim it. Then I will take my leave and wish you a good night."

After all, Mike walked out of the auditorium without turning his head, and behind him, there was another burst of cheers like a mountain and a tsunami.

Mike is definitely a good boss. This is almost the consensus of all the people present. He doesn't talk about ideals at all, but just pays when they meet. You must know that ten Galleons are their salary for a whole week. Such a boss is not a good boss. , so what is it?

For a time, the atmosphere of the banquet in the auditorium became even hotter, and if this momentum continued, they might have to stay overnight.

And Mike left the auditorium,

back into the darkness.

At this time, the smile on his face was gone, and there was only an endless chill.

The behavior of the man behind Clark really angered him, but it also made Mike confirm one thing, that apart from him and Voldemort, there are indeed third-party forces on the field now.

This made Mike have to rethink his next plan. After all, the third-party force was obviously hiding in the dark and waiting to be a fisherman.

"Mike!"

Hermione's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from behind, Mike's footsteps stopped, and then he put on a fake smile on his face and turned back and asked:

"Hermione, is that you?"

"Of course it's me!" Hermione panted and came to Mike, "Whoosh! You're running so fast, I almost didn't catch up!"

"Sorry, what are you doing to me?"

As Mike spoke, he looked at the light again, where Harry and Ron were running wildly this way.

"How is the assassin named Clark now?" Hermione said cautiously, "Or, what are you going to do with him?"

"You are..."

Before Mike could finish, Hermione continued:

"I think you should not lynch him, but hand him over to the Ministry of Magic and let the law punish him. This is the most correct choice!"

In the darkness, the smile on Mike's face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips and continued to say in that gentle tone:

"He nearly killed me."

"I know, I'm also very sad about this, and I'm also very angry!" Hermione said excitedly, "But..."

"Nothing but!"

Ron's voice suddenly came from behind Hermione. He and Harry grabbed Hermione's arm and covered Hermione's mouth.

"Never mind, Mike." Ron continued, "Hermione wants to go to the Ministry of Magic to work in law after graduation, so I've been reading a lot of books on this recently, and people who read them are a little silly."

Mike nodded to Ron. He has changed his mind towards Ron now, and the other party's emotional intelligence may not be as low as it seems.

There was also a smile on Ron's face, but the smile on his face didn't last long before it became distorted, and finally opened his mouth wide and started screaming.

"what!"

Ron slammed the hand that was covering Hermione, and there were still two rows of deep tooth marks on it at the moment.

"Mike, listen to my advice, hand Clark to the law for trial, or you will be in trouble... woo woo woo!"

Before Hermione could finish her words, Harry, who was beside him, covered her mouth again.

"Hiss! Mike, you'd better go back first." Ron covered his hands and gasped, "Let's deal with it here."

Mike nodded, did not speak, and disappeared into the darkness.

He is in a bad mood now, and doesn't want to continue talking to Harry and the others.

As for Hermione, Mike said that it was impossible not to be angry. Although the other party's actions were not wrong, they were definitely inappropriate.

This is the same as if you picked up a priceless antique, and then someone persuaded you to exchange pennants.

But it's not enough to say how angry she is, after all, they have been friends for so long, and Hermione herself is such a character, plus her young age, it is excusable.

...

The next day, when the students who got up early came to the auditorium, they were greeted by a wolf-like venue and students all over the floor.

These people really had a carnival last night.

This made Professor McGonagall's nose crooked. Hogwarts just happened in such a big mess not long ago, and now someone has just started to make these things openly?

This is simply a challenge to their authority!

must be punished!

Otherwise, you can't convince the public!

As a result, the hourglass of the college points, which had just had some gems in the four colleges, was emptied again.

And all students who spend the night in the auditorium have received between seven and 15 days of confinement.

On this day, the sky outside Hogwarts was overcast with clouds, as if it would rain down at any time, and this weather was just like the mood of these students at the moment.

But this is not the worst. What really makes these students feel unbearable is that Mike, as the boss of the Los Santos Group, also issued a series of training tasks for these new recruits. These tasks are heavy enough to make these people lose a lot of money. part of extracurricular life.

Those who are locked up are naturally unable to participate in training, and in the face of absentees, Mike's approach is also very simple.

If you don't take part in training, you won't get paid.

Mike is not a philanthropist. He spends money to see results. Those people want to take money and not work? That is daydreaming!

As for leave? workers' rights?

You tell me these things are useless at all. You must know that the wizarding society does not even have basic social security. Usually, these labor disputes are mediated by the Ministry of Magic. These trivial things.

In other words, Mike is actually quite conscientious, because in this period when the Ministry of Magic is basically useless, he can even make a fortune by desperately squeezing employees!

But he didn't do that, he just didn't get paid.

Although the fate of these people was a bit tragic, the others at Hogwarts were very happy.

Because Hogwarts has finally calmed down at this stage, except for Hogsmeade who still can't go, everything in Hogwarts has returned to its previous appearance - calm and peaceful.

Everyone went to class every morning with a sad face, and then ran out of the classroom with a smile in the afternoon, reviewing the review for exam preparation, and playing wizard chess when it was time to play wizard chess...

The tense hearts of Mike and the others also slowed down temporarily. Mike rarely gave the others any new tasks, but let them rest for a while.

This should have been a good thing, but Benjamin and Zhou Hong were very uneasy.

They must know that Mike has always been a black-hearted capitalist who desperately squeezes employees, and this black-hearted boss is so merciful to give them a holiday?

Does this mean that more work will be directly on them over time?

For a time, Benjamin and others began to run away from Mike, fearing that he would come up with something else.

For this situation, Mike seemed to be completely indifferent. He was like a normal student every day after class, enjoying this rare leisure.

Sometimes he would choose an auspicious day to enter the Masonic secret realm and have a love date with Penello.

And when Mike and Penello were dating, basically no one stayed in the secret territory. After all, everyone didn't want to be a light bulb, except for Franklin and Victor.

Among them, Victor is the man who died in ten thousand years, which is nothing to say, but Franklin is different. He doesn't play Quidditch now, and he will come to see the captured Thunderbird whenever he has time!

Franklin liked bird creatures and Mike had known for a long time.

He remembered that Franklin had thought about a laughing owl before, the kind that sounded like he was laughing at you.

When Franklin first got the owl, he put it on his head and showed it off all day. In the end, Mike couldn't stand the sarcastic laughter and gave him advice. Franklin gave up and kept the owl in the owl tower. See it every day.

And now, he obviously has a new love.

It's just that his new love is not in a good state at this time.

After being defeated by Mike, the whole ptarmigan was not good. It looked like a bird that had no love for it. It lay there all day and didn't even move. At first, it didn't even eat anything. The bird was depressed and suggested to kill it and sell it.

You must know that the Thunderbird is full of treasures. Its feathers are extremely popular wand heart materials in North America. The blood is the best magic solution. The internal organs and flesh also have different effects.

The adult ptarmigan is quite large, and it is a huge asset in this age of endangered ptarmigan.

For this suggestion, the Weasley brothers both raised their hands in approval. They had been shocked by this thunderbird before, and they had long wanted to taste the taste of thunderbird meat.

It's a pity that Franklin jumped out to stop him. He hugged Thunderbird's thigh and cried and said, please give him a chance, and he will definitely be able to cure Thunderbird.

Seeing this, Mike and others' bird-killing plan can only be postponed.

It's just a delay, of course, because no one believed Franklin could cure the ptarmigan at all.

But what shocked everyone was that after two days and two nights of persuasion by Franklin, the Thunderbird, whose pupils had been dilated due to lack of sleep, finally ate the first bite of meat.

Mike strongly suspected that the Thunderbird was being annoyed by Franklin. After all, anyone who was annoyed and couldn't sleep for two days and two nights would succumb.

But Franklin didn't think much of it. He proudly became a ptarmigan birder with dark circles under his eyes, claiming that he had found the trick to tame ptarmigan, and that he would soon be able to make ptarmigan as obedient as his owl at home. !

Looking at Franklin and Thunderbird's sluggish and sleepy appearance, Mike and Benjamin both had strong doubts about it, but since Franklin said so, they were also willing to let Franklin try it.

As for the Weasley brothers, the two of them have been looking at Franklin with resentful eyes these days.

The two of them haven't given up on eating bird meat, and they even have the idea of ​​slaughtering thunderbirds secretly.

It's a pity that they didn't have the slightest chance under Franklin's guard.

And most importantly, under Franklin's unique domestication method, the ptarmigan is getting thinner and thinner, and now it has almost become skin and bones!

Mike just smiled after knowing this. He didn't mean to stop it. On the contrary, he really wanted to see who Franklin and the Weasley brothers could succeed in the end.

After all, the peaceful Hogwarts, although peaceful and happy, always makes people feel a little boring.
