Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

After returning to the Ravenclaw lounge, Roger once again sent an invitation to Mike to drink and celebrate together. This time, he did not invite everyone with great fanfare, only a few wizards who played well with him.

At the last celebration party, he provided strong liquor to his classmates without permission, and was severely criticized by Professor Flitwick. If he did it again, he might have to repeat the grade or receive a major demerit. However, even after receiving such a severe warning, this guy He even thought about drinking. Mike seriously doubted that he had the potential to become an alcoholic.

Rejecting the invitation from Roger and others on the pretext of retreat, Mike locked himself in the dormitory directly.

The fireplace in the dormitory automatically burned, heating the small dormitory. Mike carefully observed the raven pendant by the firelight, even the slight stains in the gaps.

In the game just now, Mike was very sure that he had heard a crow. Others might think they heard it wrong, but Mike was very sure that the sound came from this pendant.

Originally, Mike could choose to ignore the anomaly of this pendant, but it was different now.

Willy's bat fully made Mike realize that magical animals can also help wizards fight, and using Willy as an example, the help is not small.

In fact, after the last time, Mike consulted a lot of information about the Nightmare Raven, and also made some guesses about his relationship with the Nightmare Raven. Today, Mike is going to test whether his guess is correct. If Mike's guess is not correct, If wrong, Nightmare Raven will become Mike's true fighting force.

Mike took out a piece of beef from the Traceless Stretching Spell bag, cut a small piece and placed it in front of the Greedy Pendant.

"Little darling, it's time to come out for dinner."

There was no change in the pendant, and the atmosphere was once very awkward.

Mike scratched his head, a little confused.

Since there is very little information about nightmare ravens, and the only information left in Hogwarts is mostly related to making nightmare ravens become contracted creatures, Mike still doesn't know much about the living habits of nightmare ravens. In desperation, he could only find some beef according to the common raven habits, but now it seems that the beef is useless.

Mike was running around anxiously in the dormitory. The firelight in the fireplace stretched the shadow of the pendant very long. The shadow twisted as if mocking Mike's actions.

"No matter what, don't act recklessly when encountering trouble!"

Shouting slogans, he drew the Sword of Victory and Oath and slashed at the Greed Pendant. Although Mike screamed fiercely, he just wanted to scare the Nightmare Raven in the pendant, so his goal was just to connect to the pendant. It's just a lanyard for the pendant.

"bass!"

The sharp blade of the Sword of Victory and Oath cut the lanyard and the hardwood desk into two pieces like tofu. Mike didn't even feel any resistance and had to sigh that the name of the Iron Sword was indeed well-deserved.

The Greed Pendant slipped off the crooked desk and bounced a few times before falling to the floor. Mike turned a blind eye to it. At this moment, he was concentrating on observing the Sword of Victory and Oath in his hand, as if he saw something rare in a thousand years. The beautiful girl I met.

At this moment, the raven pendant on the ground suddenly flashed with a strange purple light, and then four words suddenly appeared in Mike's mind.

'Do you want to die? ’

Mike's mouth brewed for a while, then he spat a large mouthful of sticky saliva on the edge of the raven pendant.

"You are the one who wants to die, right? How dare you speak to your master in such a tone!" Mike pointed the sword of victory and oath diagonally at the pendant on the ground, and said domineeringly, "I'll give you two choices. Either reveal your true identity, or I will give you a sword right now and make your soul fly away!"

After Mike said these words, the scene fell into silence again. After a long time, Mike felt that the hand he was holding the sword of victory and oath had begun to get sore, so he stopped waiting and changed his hand. Then he stabbed towards the pendant.

'Kill me and you will be hurt too. ’

Just when the tip of the Sword of Victory and Oath was about to touch the pendant, a line of words appeared in Mike's mind again.

Hearing this, the corners of Mike's mouth raised slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword grazed the raven pendant and pierced into the floor.

Perhaps because Mike's sword control skills were not up to par, when the sword blade lightly brushed against the pendant, it actually made a shallow sword mark on the side of the pendant.

"Ugh!"

There was a crow call that Mike had never heard before, and the pendant on the floor flashed purple light and turned into a black raven and flew to the magic lamp hanging from the ceiling of the bedroom.

Mike instinctively looked towards the raven and saw a shallow wound on one side of its wing, which was exuding black air. The nightmare raven was combing its own wound with its beak. There were feathers everywhere, while one eye was still looking at him warily.

"Hey! I'm so sorry. You said it too late and I didn't have time to change direction." Mike said an apology, but his tone did not mean any apology at all. At the same time, there was something in his other hand. got a magic wand.

The nightmare raven on the magic lamp also stopped combing the feathers of the wound. The little head swayed from side to side. One eye was observing Mike's movements, and the other was quickly taking in the decorations in the dormitory. It seemed that Find an escape route.

"Actually, the contract between us has already been signed, right?"

As soon as Mike's words were spoken, the Nightmare Raven's movements immediately froze, and the pair of small eyes flashed with fear in a very human way.

Seeing this, the smile on Mike's face became even brighter and he continued:

“According to records, the contract signed between the wizard and the nightmare raven is essentially a symbiosis. The nightmare raven obtains more food and magic power through the wizard’s ability, and the wizard can obtain the combat power of the nightmare raven.

The most beneficial thing about this kind of contract for wizards is that this symbiotic contract is unequal. The wizard's death nightmare raven will also die, but the raven death wizard will only suffer some minor injuries.

What you just said has exposed the fact that you and I have signed a contract. "

‘Despicable humans! I will never give in to you! ’

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with giving in to me. There's beef to eat. Do you see how good I am to you?"

'Stupid humans! I only need to eat your dreams and magic. I don't need your beef at all! ’

"Oh, no wonder I said I haven't had any dreams during this period. It turns out to be you. So your contract with me is also related to you eating my dreams?"

‘Cunning humans! You lied to me again! ’

…

An hour later, the nightmare raven had flown from the magic chandelier to Mike's shoulder.

During this hour of negotiation, Mike has reached a preliminary agreement with the Nightmare Raven. From today on, the Nightmare Raven will obey Mike's orders, but it must not be the kind of order that lets it die. Mike, on the other hand, has to work hard and strive to have more good dreams.

Because according to the Nightmare Raven, good dreams taste sweet, nightmares taste salty, and this is a pure sweet raven!

And Nightmare Raven also told Mike the truth about the contract.

It turns out that before it was sent out, Ms. Ravenclaw had signed a contract with it. As long as it couldn't help but suck other people's dreams, it would sign a contract with that person.

Out of disgust for humans, it has been resisting hunger and not signing a contract with Ms. Gray. However, after Ms. Gray died, it was collected as a relic by the people at Hogwarts, which caused it to even There is no chance to eat dreams.

In order to escape the torture of hunger, it could only turn into a pendant and sleep until it woke up shortly after Mike got the pendant.

So, the Nightmare Raven, who had been hungry for nearly a thousand years, turned on the real fragrance mode in an instant, and ate up Mike's dream that night.

"Say, let me give you a name?" Mike reached out and touched the Nightmare Raven, "How about calling you Papi?"

The Nightmare Raven was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and even forgot to avoid Mike's stretched out hand.

'Despicable human being, since you have said so, then I can barely let you call me that. ’

Nightmare Raven's eyes flashed with secret joy, and he raised his head with a very proud look. He didn't even realize that the hair on his head had been rubbed into a bird's nest by Mike.

Mike was also a little surprised. He originally thought that the raven would be resistant to this kind of address, but he didn't expect that it not only accepted it, but also seemed quite happy. Seeing its arrogant look, Mike felt happy, so he started calling its new name.

"Papi!"

'Eh! ’

"Papi!"

'Eh! ’

…

However, the conversation between the two of them seemed smooth, but in fact they were not on the same channel at all.

The word Papi in Mike's mouth is puppy, which means puppy. At the same time, this word also means a follower, an arrogant and rude young man.

But Nightmare Raven thought that what Mike meant was papi. The two words have the same pronunciation, and many people confuse the two words together, but in fact they have different meanings.

Papi comes from Spanish, the same as papa, which means dad. This nightmare raven is most likely from Spain and thought Mike was calling him daddy.

In any case, these two boring guys finally stopped after agreeing to each other for the hundredth time. Both of them looked at each other with a cowardly look. It seemed that the relationship between the two was He fell one step closer to this strange conversation.

Just as one person and one crow looked at each other affectionately, Papi suddenly turned his head and looked at the door. At the same time, a string of words appeared in Mike's mind again.

‘There’s someone outside the door, it’s the guy with a little bat. ’

Mike followed Papi's gaze and looked at the door. However, after waiting for a long time, he found nothing unusual. Just when he was about to ask Papi, there was a knock on the door.

Mike and Raven Papi looked at each other. After a moment of eye contact, Papi understood what Mike meant, and it fell into Mike's hand and turned into a pendant again.

Mike calmly tied the pendant back around his neck before opening the door.

"Mr. Townley, congratulations. I'm here to fulfill my bet."

Willy was wearing a plain robe, holding his hands low in front of him, and said to Mike with a smile.

Although he still looked that gentle and elegant, Mike found that his lips were very pale and there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that the injury caused by the previous game had not fully healed.

Seeing that Mike's eyes kept scanning him but said nothing, Willy twisted his neck uncomfortably and said, "Mr. Townley, won't you invite me in?"

Hearing this, Mike looked around and saw that the narrow corridor was already crowded with people, and everyone's eyes were on the two of them. Among them, Franklin, Roger and others still had vaguely evil eyes, obviously doubting Willy's intentions.

"Oh! That's so rude, please come in." Mike pretended to have just reacted and stepped aside to invite Willy into the dormitory. At the same time, he gave Franklin and the others a reassuring look.

Mike slowly closed the door to his dormitory. As soon as he turned around, he saw Willy looking at the furnishings in Mike's dormitory. Seeing that Mike had closed the door, Willy said: "Mr. Townley, your dormitory reminds me of My great-grandfather’s cabin was small but cozy. I will never forget the time I spent in that cabin with him when I was a child.”

"Really? I didn't expect that a rich young man like you would live in a house like that."

"Although our Hunter family has made some money now relying on the skills passed down by our ancestors, we have never forgotten our roots."

"It's really an excellent tradition." Mike said in a deliberately exaggerated tone, "By the way, how is your injury? To be honest, I'm surprised that you were discharged from the hospital so quickly."

Willy naturally heard the irony in Mike's words and understood what Mike meant, so he did not answer Mike's question, but took out a traceless stretching spell bag from his arms and placed it on the table. .

"Ten thousand gold galleons are all here."

Mike flicked his wand and the bag flew into Mike's hand. When he opened the bag, he saw that it was filled with golden galleons. The moment he saw these gold coins, Mike knew the number of gold coins in the bag: ten thousand.

This is the quantitative statistical magic that comes with Jin Galleon.

Please forgive Mike's disdain for the mathematical abilities of wizards when he first entered the magical world. In fact, the magical currencies issued by Gringotts all have their own quantitative statistics magic, which can automatically calculate the quantities of various currencies.

"How generous, Mr. Hunter."

Seeing Mike put the bag into his arms with a smile on his face, the smile on Willy's face became even brighter. Mike only needs to love money. As the heir of the Hunter family, the most important thing he lacks is money. .

"As long as you like, Mike, just call me Willy." Willy smiled, "If it's okay, I'll leave. Oh, by the way, I wish you a championship."

After saying that, Willy walked out of Mike's dormitory with a smile, which surprised Mike a little.

He originally thought that Willy came in such a hurry to fulfill the "blocking agreement" because he wanted something from him, but he didn't expect that Willy left without saying anything after giving the money, which made Mike very confused.

Is this guy just here to give money?

Are people stupid because they have too much money, or are they playing the long game to catch the big fish?

Mike: Papi! (How are you, you arrogant and rude bitch)

Papi: Hey! (My dear son, I’m fine)
