Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

London in early July finally became sunny, but unlike the summer in the general impression, the temperature in London has not been raised, and it is still in the very pleasant range of 20 degrees.

Mike walked with Franklin and others on the streets of London, looking at the cars and beautifully dressed pedestrians around, there was a feeling of being in another world.

He had spent most of the past few years in the wizarding world, which made him almost forget what Muggle life was supposed to be like.

After sighing for a while, Mike continued to walk forward.

Their destination was a building on the banks of the River Thames, which is also a division of the Los Santos Group.

There today, Mike will discuss with representatives from various minority groups including goblins, Muggle wizards, centaurs and witches about the future cooperation between the two parties.

For these guys to come looking for him, Mike actually expected it.

But what Mike didn't expect was that they came so soon.

Mike thought they could hold on for a while longer.

It seems that Mike still overestimates them.

And the reason why Mike set the meeting place at the Los Santos Group branch is precisely because of his distrust of these guys.

After all, those guys are all greedy guys. As long as there is enough interest, they will not hesitate to sell Mike.

While thinking about it, Mike and the others have already reached their destination.

This is an old building, but unlike the general old buildings of this period, this building, which is used as a branch of the Los Santos Group, does not have those chromatic aberration glass pieces installed on the outer wall, but retains The old window frame excuses were removed, which also made the building look unique.

Of course, the unique charm is based on Mike's aesthetics. In the eyes of most people in this era, this is just an ordinary old building.

At this time, in the lobby on the ground floor of the Los Santos branch, countless people in tattered and strange clothes were gathered here and lined up, preparing to receive the food and clothing distributed by the Los Santos Group.

These items are relief supplies specially prepared by the Los Santos Group. Due to the Ministry of Magic's crackdown on minorities during this period, the voices of anti-minority groups in the wizarding society are getting stronger and stronger.

This also caused many Muggle wizards who still had jobs to lose their jobs in an instant.

In this case, they have to rely on the relief of Los Santos to survive.

Of course, not all Muggle wizards gathered in the lobby of the Los Santos branch. There were also many Squibs who were struggling, and they were also on the list of people who could receive relief supplies.

It's easy to tell a Squib from a Muggle wizard, because they always hate each other, and even the line is divided into two piles.

Squibs are jealous of Muggle wizards' spellcasting abilities, but at the same time despise Muggle wizards because of their own blood.

Muggle wizards think that those squibs without spellcasting ability are completely waste, and living is a waste of food.

Mike doesn't care about this kind of thing, and many times he even has the same idea as his fellow Muggle wizards, thinking that these squibs are some incurable waste.

It is precisely because there is no use value, so this multi-party meeting Mike did not even contact the Squib.

And the reason why Mike will include the Squibs in the relief list is just because he wants the Squibs to act like they are, and let other minorities know that their Los Santos group treats all groups equally.

After a little observation of the crowd gathered, Mike walked towards the elevator with a group of Freemason members after finding that the scene was orderly and there was no looting.

But before he could go far, a small figure suddenly stood in front of him.

Mike looked down and saw a big cat with gray fur and scrawny at his feet.

Mike's expression became a little weird, because he always felt that the cat in front of him looked familiar.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively called out:

"Mrs. Norris?"

"Meow!~"

The big cat in front of him let out a gentle bark, then lay on Mike's feet and began to lick his fur.

Mike stopped Franklin from trying to grab Mrs Norris and started looking around.

He knew very well that since Mrs Norris was here, Filch must be there too.

Sure enough, after looking around for a while, he easily spotted Filch among the Squibs.

However, Filch's appearance at the moment has been greatly changed from when he was at Hogwarts.

He became thinner and had more white hair on top of his head, as if he might fall over at any time.

Seeing Mike and the others looking towards him, Filch instinctively wanted to cover his face with a hood.

Mike knew very well that Filch's fragile ego was to blame, a fact he never admitted to himself, even though everyone at Hogwarts knew he was a Squib.

Of course, Filch's move may also be feared that Mike and others will retaliate against him.

After all, he had a lot of trouble with Mike and Franklin at Hogwarts. Now that he has lost his status as a janitor, it is quite normal for him to be retaliated against.

Shaking his head, Mike didn't intend to take revenge on this poor old Squib. He leaned over and slapped two Mrs. Norris hands away from his feet and was ready to move on.

At this moment, Mike's out-of-the-way vision caught a glimpse of Filch, who was pretending not to know him and others in the distance, suddenly rushed over.

Franklin, who was beside Mike, was the first to react, and his wand was pointed at Filch almost instantly.

Filch, who was pointed at by the wand, froze for a moment, and the muscles on his face couldn't stop shaking, but he still forced a humble smile, didn't speak, and kept bowing to Mike like this.

Looking at the other party's hunched body, Mike naturally understood what he meant. With a flick of his finger, Mrs. Rollis, who was licking her hair at his feet, automatically floated back to Filch's side.

Seeing this, Filch was overjoyed, and bowed deeply to Mike, then hugged Mrs. Norris and returned to the Squib team.

It's a pity that his original position was already occupied, so he had to start queuing from the beginning.

But despite this, Filch did not show any displeasure. He hugged Mrs. Norris tightly and walked quickly to the end of the line, his face still filled with a happy smile that was lost and found.

Mike witnessed all this, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

He turned slightly sideways and said to Victor without turning his head:

"How's your wand research going?"

"Reusable automatic wand! The name is not long, I sincerely hope you can remember it, boss!" Victor rolled his eyes and said, "Currently the automatic wand has developed to version 2.0, and I am not adjusting its effect. The original materials were replaced with some cheaper materials, but the cost is still relatively high.”

"Oh! I see." Mike continued without looking back, "Can this automatic wand release the Death-Slaying Charm?"

"It's impossible! The life-threatening spell is different from ordinary spells. Its release requires strong emotions, which is beyond the reach of alchemy machines!"

"Then what about the Shenfeng Shadowless Curse?" Tianya Wei

Hearing that, Victor didn't answer immediately, but followed Mike's gaze to look at Filch who was lining up, and his expression suddenly became strange.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said:

"Yes, yes, but the magic power consumed by the Shenfeng Shadowless Charm is relatively large. If it is used by the squibs, their magic power will be exhausted after a few minutes."

"I see." Mike murmured, "Then let's mass-produce some Shenfeng Shadowless Wands and send them to those Squibs, so that they can be our cannon fodder."

As soon as this statement came out, not only Victor, but also everyone else was shocked.

Benjamin frowned and persuaded:

"Mike, this isn't a good deal. Those Squibs won't help much even if they have the ability to cast spells."

"Never mind, that's the decision."

After saying that, Mike walked into the elevator without looking back, leaving only Benjamin and the others looking at each other.

They really don't understand Mike's mind.

Fortunately, the Los Santos Group has a great business, not to mention mass production of a batch of Shenfeng Shadowless Wands. Even if they send a set of daily wands to all the Squibs in the country, it will not have any impact on the operation of the group. .

Shaking their heads, everyone finally decided not to pursue the matter, and followed Mike into the elevator.

The door of the elevator gradually closed, and looking at Filch and Mrs. Norris who were slowly disappearing from his field of vision, the corners of Mike's mouth rose slightly.

Why would Mike do this?

Even he himself is not very clear about this question.

Is it because of poor Squibs like Filch that they give them some hope?

Or do you just think Filch raises his wand and attacks the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic is more interesting and wants to see it?

Or, both?

Who knows?

...

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Mike walked in with a mighty group of Freemason members.

At this time, there were several people sitting on the large conference table in the conference room.

Among them, sitting at the top right of the conference table is an old woman in a white dress with white hair tied up.

This is a representative sent by the witch group, and is also the leader of the well-known group "Daughter of the Federation" in the ladies circle - Catherine Deller.

And under her head is the current president of Gringotts-Bronze Gate.

The remaining members are the centaurs representing Geralt, the mermaids representing Lilith, and the Muggle wizards representing Karen Quat.

It is worth mentioning that the mermaid representative Lilith is a very pure looking mermaid woman, and she is also very 'fierce'!

As recorded in those Muggle fairy tales, Lilith's fish tail covered with crimson scales was immersed in a huge fish tank, and her upper body was only covered with two shells as a ferocious decoration.

For some reason, as soon as he saw her, Mike remembered the portrait of the mermaid in the Hogwarts prefect's bathroom.

Seeing Mike and the others appear, Karen instantly stood up from her seat and hurried up to greet him.

"Mr. Townley, I finally see you!"

This is a middle-aged white wizard, but unlike ordinary middle-aged people, the excess hair on his face is thoroughly treated, which makes him look clean and energetic.

In particular, he also has piercing eyes and angular face, which together add a bit of arrogance to him.

It's a pity that this righteous face is wearing a flattering expression at the moment, such a sense of contrast makes Mike feel very surprised.

After looking at the other party for a long time, Mike stretched out his hand and held it together.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Quait."

"Where, this is my honor." Karen said excitedly, "Mr. Townley, just call me Karen."

"Okay, Karen, then you have to call me Mike too."

...

Mike and Karen talked for a while before finally returning to the conference table.

At this time, the witch Catherine and the fairy Bronze Gate nodded to Mike, while the centaur Jello raised his head proudly and seemed to disdain talking to Mike.

As for the mermaid Lilith, she kept smiling at Mike with a charming smile on her face. It seemed that if her lower body hadn't been in the fish tank and couldn't move, she would have threw herself into Mike's arms when Mike appeared just now. .

I greeted everyone one by one, and Mike stopped talking nonsense with them. First, he arranged for the Masonic people to sit on the left side of the conference table, and then he sat in the top position and said to Karen and others:

"Tell me, everyone, why did you come to see me today?"

Hearing this, Catherine, Tongmen and the others looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on the Muggle wizard Karen.

Karen's body suddenly froze, but under the pressure of everyone's eyes, she finally got up and said to Mike with a smirk:

"Mr. Townley, you know, we've been having a hard time lately."

Hearing that the other party's address to him still did not change, Mike nodded with a smile.

It can be seen that this guy named Karen is a very good person, and he hates to praise him.

But that doesn't give him extra points at the negotiating table.

Then Mike said:

"Of course I know this. You should have seen it when you came here just now. I set up a relief point downstairs. Muggle wizards, squibs and even intelligent creatures of other races are on the relief list, as long as they encounter difficulties. If you can’t go on, you can come to receive relief at any time. I think, this is already the best of benevolence and righteousness, right?”

Hearing this, the expression on Karen's face suddenly became complicated. He looked at McKenna's half-smiling face, and just wanted to continue talking, when he heard the centaur Jello suddenly jumped onto the conference table and raised his The spear in his hand was aimed at Mike.

"The horses don't need your alms!"

The centaur Gerlo roared and was about to stab the spear in his hand, but it was obviously not a wise choice to use a spear to assassinate a legendary wizard.

"boom!"

Everyone in the conference room only heard an explosion, and then a thick red-black flame appeared in front of Mike out of thin air!
