Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

"I understand what you mean, but unfortunately I may not be able to give you much help. After all, my relationship with Percy is not good. You know, Percy is a bit difficult to get along with." Harry said with a look that I understand everything. The expression said to Mike, "But as your friend I promise to help you."

Mike looked at Harry in confusion. He didn't understand what Harry understood.

"I heard that Percy likes your girlfriend Penello. He was sad for a long time after you and Penelo got together. I think he may have worked hard because of this." Harry added Mike said mysteriously in his ear, "If you want to find out about Percy's information about the duel competition, I can take you to ask Ron."

Only then did Mike realize that Harry thought he had come to collect intelligence on his opponent because he was worried about the duel competition.

Although this was not Mike's original intention, in this case he had no choice but to go with the flow.

The two of them came to the Gryffindor lounge together.

Mike has been to all the lounges of the four major houses except Slytherin's lounge. In comparison, Mike's favorite is the Gryffindor lounge.

This place is more like a junior high school student lounge than the Ravenclaw lounge, which has a strong academic atmosphere and is relatively feminine.

As soon as Mike and Harry entered the Gryffindor lounge, they saw the usually bluffing little lions quietly gathering around the fireplace, exclaiming from time to time.

Mike, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was not surprised. He knew that these students should be listening to Ron telling the story of his brother Percy killing everyone in the duel competition.

When Mike walked in, he discovered that not only Ron, but also his two older brothers, George and Fred, were also in the middle of the crowd.

"...At the critical moment, Percy used the most powerful crushing spell in history, which directly broke through xxx's armor and broke xxx's entire arm..."

Ron's sonorous voice came, and George raised his wand and pretended to roar at Fred, who was wearing a Slytherin uniform opposite:

"Shattered to pieces!"

As George chanted the curse, Fred's right arm was broken into two pieces with a crunch, and bright red liquid gushes wildly from the break, staining half of his robe red in a short time.

Everyone onlookers exclaimed, and a few timid ones even fell to the ground in fright.

Fred, whose arm was broken, was rolling on the carpet holding his arm, looking very painful.

But just when several students were about to report to Professor McGonagall, Fred changed the painful look on his face and stood up with a big smile. And his right arm also returned to its original shape at some point. Only the large blood stains on his robe still proved what had just happened.

"The Weasley brothers made a special prank prosthetic hand. Buy one and scare your friends. The special price is only 5 Silver Sickles!" Fred picked up half of the prosthetic hand on the ground and came to George's side and said, "And this You can even eat it with a prosthetic hand! It’s made entirely of marshmallows and tastes great!”

After saying that, Fred held the prosthetic hand and took a bite, making an extremely intoxicated expression.

The surrounding students finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several of them even started to place orders with the Weasley brothers.

Mike was a bit dumbfounded by the Weasley brothers' use of his brother Percy's reputation to sell things. He didn't expect that the Weasley brothers were so talented in business that they would now take advantage of the celebrity effect.

After the people around the Weasley brothers had almost dispersed, Mike and Harry walked up.

At this time, Ron was holding a silver coin that George gave him with a silly smile on his face, looking through it repeatedly, and taking a bite from time to time. It seemed that this earthly method of distinguishing the authenticity of gold could also be used on magic silver coins. .

Seeing Harry's arrival, Ron's face showed a joyful expression, and he held up the silver Sickle as if he wanted to share his joy with Harry. But after seeing Mike next to Harry, the smile on Ron's face quickly solidified, and was replaced by a vigilant expression. He also put away the silver coins, as if he was worried that Mike would snatch them away.

"Ron, uh, we're here this time, uh..."

Harry was a little overwhelmed by Ron's vigilant eyes and scratched his hair awkwardly, not knowing what to say. After all, Percy and Mike were theoretically competitors, and it was indeed not good for him to bring Mike to Ron to find out about his brother.

Seeing Harry scratching his hair in embarrassment, Mike grabbed Harry's hand that was scratching his hair.

Harry was fine in everything, but his habit of scratching his hair when he was nervous was bad. If he continued like this, Harry might become bald at a young age.

It is true that young white people do not know the value of hair. You must know that Franklin has suffered severe hair loss due to letting his laughing owl Afu build a nest on his head for a long time.

"Don't be nervous, I just came here to ask Percy..."

"Aha! I guessed it right. You are really here to get information!" Just halfway through Mike's words, Ron jumped up as if he had been bitten by something terrible. "Harry, you are really here." I’m so disappointed! You are my best friend! But now, you are actually an enemy!”

"Mike is also our friend. This is not an enemy, this is just...just..." After hearing Ron's accusation, Harry hurriedly jumped out and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

Just when Harry and Ron were about to quarrel, George and Fred, who were busy counting money, also noticed the movement here.

The two looked at each other and completed their division of labor silently.

I saw George walking directly towards Harry and Ron, pulling the two people away from each other who were about to fight, and started thinking about them.

Fred put his arm around Mike's shoulders and said while leading him to the corner:

"Brother, I know your purpose, but we really can't help you this time. No matter how weird Percy is, he is still our brother, and we will not do such a thing as betraying his family.

Besides, a man's matter like a duel should be solved in a man's way, rather than relying on conspiracy. "

Mike was going crazy. In terms of brain power, each of these people was better than the last. Now Fred even thought that he felt that Percy was a big threat, so he planned to use a conspiracy to defeat Percy.

Please! Although Mike admitted that Percy did have some talent, it was just some talent, which was still an order of magnitude lower than the top talents like him and Cedric.

Although he was complaining madly in his heart, Mike still said calmly on the surface: "You misunderstood. I just wanted to ask Percy if he has done anything unusual recently?"

However, Fred was not moved by Mike's words. He followed Mike's habitual movements and spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and gave Mike a helpless look.
