Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

"Steal it out!?"

Mike's answer made Hermione completely confused. As a top student who regarded rules as very important (as she thought), although she wanted to save Buckbeak, she had always wanted to pass the formal rules. To achieve the goal through legal means, I have never thought of committing such illegal and disorderly behavior as stealing.

"This... can this be done?"

"Otherwise, what do you think we should do? Can you rely on you to take the legal exam and get Buckbeak out after reading two law books?" Mike raised his eyebrows and teased, "You might as well go to sleep now, in your dream There’s everything!”

Hearing this, Hermione was very unconvinced and instinctively wanted to refute. But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and her originally angry expression darkened.

"Listen, the most direct way is to steal Buckbeak before the executioners from the Ministry of Magic come." Mike explained, "Don't worry, the process this time is the same as the last time we transported the dragon. , all we need to do is contact Ron's brother and ask them to come and pick up Buckbeak. The Ministry of Magic will never think that we will transport Buckbeak abroad."

When Hermione thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and her mind began to move. But as she thought about it, she suddenly thought of a loophole in Mike's plan.

"Then... what about Hagrid? If we let Buckbeak go, the people at the Ministry of Magic will think it was Hagrid who let him go. Oh my god! They will put him in Azkaban!" Min shouted, holding her head.

"Don't worry. With Hagrid's temperament, he will definitely agree. And what misunderstanding do you have about the Ministry of Magic? How could they put someone in Azkaban for such a trivial matter?"

"But Malfoy..."

"He's trying to scare you! He doesn't run the Ministry of Magic, he just has a few dollars!" Mike interrupted Hermione and said, "Don't forget, they eat death. He is an apprentice, do you think the higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic will look down upon him? At best, they just want his Galleons."

Now Hermione had nothing to say, so she could only follow Mike to contact Hagrid, Ron and others.

After they told Hagrid about the matter, Hagrid's reaction was completely as expected by Mike. He agreed without any hesitation. At the same time, he also said in tears that he had completely wronged Mike before and that Mike was a good boy. , so disgusting that it almost gave Mike goosebumps.

As for Ron, when Mike and Hermione found him, he was cramming with Harry with Hermione's notes. The exam was coming soon. Chosen people like Mike and Hermione The top students had already made full preparations, but people like Ron and Harry could only improvise.

Just looking at Ron's face full of resentment, Mike could guess that he must be very envious of Harry at this moment.

Because Harry is an orphan, the only remaining aunt's family will not change their attitude towards him just because he failed in the exam.

But Ron was different. If he dared to take more than two D's in this exam, his mother would definitely skin him.

Thinking of this, the resentment on his face deepened.

It's all my fault that my brothers have such good grades. If they were also bad academics like me, my mother wouldn't be so strict with me.

Ron thought so.

Even though they were busy, Ron and Harry agreed without hesitation when Mike came to them and asked for their help.

Hermione was very happy and said that she would personally come to help Harry and Ron review after sending Buckbeak away.

Ever since, the Buckbeak Rescue Team was formed.

The next thing was very simple. Ron sent a letter to his second brother Charlie who was raising dragons in Romania (of course not using an owl, but using a wizard post office. Messengers would use portkeys to transmit cross-country. Then deliver the letter to its destination. Those who want to use owls to send letters across borders, are you devils?) After explaining the situation, Charlie simply agreed, and said that if it weren’t for the fact that Ron was his own For my brother's sake, if anyone dares to put something as messy as a Hippogriff into his breeding garden, I will dunk on his head.

So, on the night before the exam, Mike, Harry and others, who were wearing an invisibility cloak, carefully slipped out of the castle and came to Hagrid's hut.

Poor Buckbeak was about to be executed by the Ministry of Magic, so he had been tied to a wooden stake not far from Hagrid's cabin for the past few days. Buckbeak, who longed for freedom, was very sad because he might There is no way to fly anymore.

Although sad, he still has the vigilance he should have.

It spotted Mike and his group long before Mike came to it, and immediately stood up and roared in Mike's direction, trying to intimidate them in this way.

But when Mike and others really got closer, Buckbeak immediately lost his temper and began to bow to the leader Mike with an aggrieved look on his face.

It still remembers the little man with golden hair. It was this little man who almost killed him!

"Okay, let's do it."

Mike looked around for a while and found that no one was watching, and then gave orders to Harry and others behind him.

Harry and others quickly got out of the invisibility cloak, and together with Hagrid beside them, they lifted out of the woods the iron cage that Hagrid had prepared.

It can be said that Hagrid put a lot of thought into this cage. Not only was the layout huge, but he also carefully laid a thick layer of hay under the cage, and even put a lot of raw meat in it. It was completely like a gift. The way his son was traveling far away did not even consider how difficult it would be for Charlie and the others to send the big cage and Buckbeak away later.

Sure enough, when Charlie and several of his colleagues arrived at the scene, their expressions immediately changed.

Damn it, with such a big iron cage full of raw meat and Buckbeak, how can they transport themselves on broomsticks?

Almost instinctively, Charlie wanted to throw away all the raw meat in the iron cage. Romania had such things anyway, but Hagrid stopped him.

Hagrid was already a gamekeeper when Charlie and the others were still in school, so he was not polite to the little guy Charlie at all, and directly said that if he dared to throw away the dry food on the road of his precious Buckbeak, he would cry. Show it to Charlie.

I even started crying while talking.

Charlie and his colleagues looked at me and looked at you, and in the end they could only satisfy Hagrid's needs.

There was nothing he could do about it. When Charlie was young, he liked to go to the Forbidden Forest just like his two younger brothers, so he was less cared for by Hagrid.

Now Hagrid needed his help, and he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

So, when Charlie and others struggled to drag a huge iron cage and gradually disappeared into the night sky, a smile finally appeared on Hagrid's face.

"Thank you so much! I invited you to dinner! How about rock biscuits with broth? It's my favorite!"

Hagrid said while wiping the tears that were still flowing down his face.

"No, we have another exam tomorrow!"

Mike and others answered almost in unison.

After finishing speaking, Hagrid hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the castle without waiting for a reply.

Hagrid was left standing alone outside the desolate woods.

"What a great group of kids!"

Hagrid stared blankly at the direction where Mike and others disappeared. After a while, he blew his nose violently and said.

…

No matter how reluctant Ron and Harry were, the exam day finally came.

Compared with Ron, Harry and others who had to make up various tragic ways of death and curse themselves to pass the divination exam, Mike was obviously much more relaxed, because he had a lot of experience in spells, potions and ancient times. The attainments in major subjects such as magic writing have far exceeded the teaching progress of the third grade of Hogwarts.

Take the exam in the ancient magic text class as an example. The young female professor took everyone's learning progress into account and gave a question of just writing a diary in ancient magic text and reciting it on the spot using standard ancient magic text pronunciation. That’s all.

This may be difficult for some students who don't listen carefully in class or whose language talents are not outstanding, but for people like Mike who have applied ancient magic text technology to alchemy production, it is completely a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, Mike felt that his score in Ancient Magic Text might not be too high, because when the professor listened to him read aloud, the expression on his face was as ugly as if he had eaten something disgusting.

And after the exam, he found Mike and advised him earnestly not to focus all his attention on the study of ancient magic texts, but to allocate some more time to the study of writing.

Mike understood what she meant. Didn't she just mean that his writing skills were poor?

But what does it matter? He is a poor author who makes a living by writing novels.

So he simply let the professor's words go in through his left ear, and after swirling around in his mind, they flew out out of his right ear very naturally.

These are all trivial things. Mike couldn't have imagined that among the many exams, the only one that made Mike feel uncomfortable would be the Muggle Studies class!

A subject that he just used to make up for the math!

To be honest, Mike has never taken this class except for the first few classes.

Yes, you can skip elective courses at Hogwarts, as long as you are not afraid of having your house points deducted and getting zero duck eggs in the exam.

His behavior undoubtedly made the Muggle Studies professor very angry, so during the exam, the proctoring professor almost didn't go anywhere and just stared at Mike. He will scold you directly if you do anything.

But in that case, forget it, Mike believed that as a senior Muggle, he could still complete the Muggle Studies exam.

However, the test paper placed in front of Mike was really weird.

Just like this question.

What are Muggles' favorite things to do?

Mike was completely confused when he saw this question. How could he know what all human beings like to do?

Also, are you sure this question is not a brain teaser?

After thinking hard for a long time, he finally wrote a shameful answer under the professor's gaze.

**.

Don't blame Mike for his dirty thoughts, but this is the thing he can think of that is most likely to be liked by all humans. After all, reproduction is human instinct!

However, the next moment, the female professor whose name he couldn't even name slapped Mike on the head.

"Are you...are you deliberately humiliating me?" The professor wearing glasses shouted with a red face, "The answer is drinking! How could you do that kind of thing!"

After the professor finished yelling, she immediately regretted it because she reported all the correct answers.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Many students had expressions of realization on their faces, and then they immediately started writing furiously.

Now the professor's favorable impression of Mike became even lower.

"But teacher, why do Muggles like to drink the most?"

Mike asked weakly.

It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked the professor, he became even more angry and slapped him again.

"Do you dare to question my authority? This is the answer I asked from more than ten Muggles using Veritaserum!" the professor roared, "It seems that the famous Tangli is nothing more than this. As a Muggle, A born wizard doesn’t even know this common sense!”

After saying that, she walked away with a proud look on her face, as if she had just won a war.

Mike rubbed the back of his head, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, and at the same time he was complaining crazily in his heart.

Damn, do you have any misunderstandings about common sense?

Also, even if you want to do a sample survey, the survey base is too small. And based on the answers you got, you probably went to a bar for a sample survey, right?

Also, is it really okay to use Veritaserum on Muggles without permission? People who use Veritaserum are likely to become idiots!

Mike, who was suffocating in his heart, simply stopped concentrating on the exam. After filling in the next questions in the test paper, he rushed out of the exam room angrily.

Behind him was the professor's roar.

Mike's behavior is extremely bad. After all, confronting the professor in front of so many classmates will damage the professor's dignity, so no matter which school it is, the punishment for this kind of thing is very strict.

But Mike didn't care, because it was impossible for Hogwarts to expel him for this matter.

And as long as he is not expelled, the remaining punishment methods pose no threat to Mike at all.

Deduction of college points and zero duck eggs for the exam?

You dunked it, Mike is now past the stage of relying on good results to prove himself.

Confinement?

You do whatever you want, Professor Flitwick will always be Professor Flitwick's office in his own place of confinement.

So Mike walked very happily, and when he arrived at his dormitory happily and opened a letter sent to him, he became even more relaxed.

Because this letter was an invitation to go to the Lord Merlin to receive the Order of Merlin Level 2!
