Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Krum and Mag who were walking in front obviously didn't notice the malicious eyes behind them, and walked straight into the auditorium with Mike and others.

Today's auditorium is more like a banquet venue than before. The tables used for dining are no longer the usual four long college tables, but a hundred small tables with lanterns lit. Students wearing various colors are sitting there. Sitting in twos and threes at the small table, they were chatting and laughing.

But when Mike and his group appeared in the auditorium, everyone stopped what they were doing and cast curious glances.

Everyone wanted to see the warriors and their dancing partners.

Hermione's new image obviously surprised many people. Malfoy and the others were dumbfounded at this moment. They couldn't even imagine that the usually ugly duckling turned into a white swan today!

But when his eyes fell on Harry, his eyes finally returned to their usual sarcastic look.

Harry did not disappoint him, he was still as stupid as ever.

Harry was obviously aware of the looks in Malfoy's eyes. The intense tension made his body stiff like a robot, letting the excited Parvati drag him forward.

There were many people who were surprised by Hermione's new appearance today. The group of Krum fans cast jealous glances at Hermione that were so intense that they almost turned into reality the moment the two of them appeared.

In addition, Ron's performance was even more exaggerated.

When Hermione passed the round table where he was sitting, he pretended as if he didn't know Hermione.

But Mike, who was walking behind, noticed that after Hermione also ignored him, the expression on Ron's face instantly became extremely ferocious like a face change in a Sichuan opera.

Mike chuckled lightly, holding Penelo's arm and walking forward confidently.

The combination of the two of them is the well-deserved first place tonight. Whether it is Mike's classic suit or Penelo's evening dress that shines like a starry sky, countless people are paying attention.

But no one was too surprised, because everyone already knew how outstanding the golden couple Mike and Penello were. In comparison, Hermione, the ugly duckling, suddenly turned into a white swan. Even more shocking.

Professor McGonagall led everyone straight through the auditorium and to the VIP seats at the innermost part of the auditorium.

Different from the past, the faculty seat that had always been used as a VIP seat was gone. It was replaced by a huge round table, on which sat the referee of the Triwizard Tournament and the four Hogwarts students. Deans of graduate schools.

What surprised Mike was that Percy, who had graduated long ago, also appeared at this round table.

Percy was sitting on the seat next to Old Crouch. He was very nervous and didn't even have the courage to look up at Mike.

But the old Crouch beside him looked like he was about to die. He had become weaker than the last time we met, and the thick dark circles under his eyes had almost reached his cheeks.

Mike and Penello sat down next to Professor Flitwick, which made Professor Flitwick extremely happy. He rubbed his hands and said to Penello:

"What do you want to eat, kid? How about a steak?"

After that, regardless of Penello's objections, he said directly to the empty plates on the dining table:

"Steak! Very rare!"

The house elf who was hiding in the dark and heard the order immediately took action. Everyone felt a faint flash of light on the dinner plate, and then a steaming steak appeared.

"Come on, eat quickly, kid. Don't blame me for ordering a rare steak for you. God knows if there are parasites in those undercooked steaks, which is not good for your body." Professor Flitwick said, " Especially if you are planning to have a baby in the near future, you should not eat it, as it is not good for the baby!"

These words made Penello blush with embarrassment. She lowered her head and replied in an inaudible voice, then lowered her head and started eating.

Mike quickly arranged the tablecloth for her to prevent food juices from splattering on her clothes.

Professor Flitwick looked at the golden couple with the kind eyes of an old father, his eyes full of relief.

He felt that God had been kind to him, and he could still meet Mike and Penelo when he was old.

Of course, it would be better if these two people work harder so that he can hold the baby as soon as possible!

Professor McGonagall across the round table looked at Flitwick, Mike and others with a rare look of envy. Like Flitwick, she was single and childless, so she was very envious of Flitwick being able to meet people like Mike and Peach. Students like Nello.

Hermione and Krum, who were beside Professor McGonagall, were completely unaware of the scene on Mike's side. At this moment, Krum was concentrating on introducing his normal life to Hermione.

"We also have a castle, but it's not as big or as comfortable as here. The castle only has four floors, and it can only be lit when it's magical." Krum said, "But our venue is very big, and there There are large mountains and lakes. In the summer, we fly around every day, which is quite enjoyable, but not in the winter. The days here are very short in the winter..."

"That's enough! Viktor!" Karkaroff gave Hermione a look of disdain and interrupted Krum. "Stop revealing more secrets, otherwise your charming friend will know that we are here." Where is it!"

Karkaroff specifically emphasized the word charming, but everyone could tell that he didn't like Hermione.

But this is not surprising. He is a pure-blood himself. He was a Death Eater in his early years, and despising Muggles is their basic operation.

But his reminder was obviously too late. Klum had revealed enough things. There were not many places in Europe with the same geographical and climatic conditions. If necessary, Mike was confident that he could easily find Durmstrang's information. Location.

"Igor (Karkarov), if you keep such a secret, people will think you don't welcome others to visit."

Dumbledore said with a smile, while Karkaroff heard the words and laughed loudly:

"As principals, we naturally have to carefully guard the school palace that we are entrusted with. Of course, we also need to keep the secrets that only we know!"

"Oh! I would never dare to say in my wildest dreams that I know all the secrets of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said kindly, "For example, today, I took a wrong turn when I went to the toilet, and when I came back to my senses, I found myself in a room that I had never been to before and it was very exquisitely decorated. There were also a large number of exquisite and luxurious chamber pots in the room. But when I went back to investigate carefully, I found that the room was nowhere to be found. !You said God is not miraculous?”

Mike frowned on the side. He could have sworn that Dumbledore turned his head and blinked at himself when he said the last sentence.

This was clearly a hint to himself that he already knew about his relationship with the Room of Requirement.

But it doesn't matter, Mike has already put everything about Freemasonry into the secret realm, and now the Room of Requirement is just a gathering place for members of the mutual aid association.

"Okay, it's almost time, maybe we can start dancing!"

Professor Flitwick on the side obviously noticed Dumbledore's last look and quickly came out to help Mike out.

Perhaps because he felt that the eye drops he gave Mike were almost enough, Dumbledore nodded and stood up, asking his classmates to stand up as well.

Then he waved his magic wand, and all the tables flew to the wall, leaving a large open space in the middle.

He created a high stage again, attached to the right wall, with a set of musical instruments placed on it.

At this time, the weird sisters with thick hair and deliberately wearing torn black robes also came on stage and picked up the instruments.

Their appearance on the stage caused cheers from the audience, and then all the lanterns on the other tables were extinguished, leaving only the stage brightly lit.

Mike smiled and stretched out his hand and said to Penello: "Beautiful lady, are you interested in dancing with me?"

Penello smiled happily, stretched out his hand and put his jade hand into Mike's.

The two walked onto the stage holding hands, with Mike putting one hand on Penelo's waist and the other holding Penelo's hand.

Mike and Penelo also danced to the music played by the Weird Sisters.

As if deliberately allowing those students who are not very good at dancing to adapt, the music played by the Weird Sisters is quite soothing.

Mike is naturally familiar with dance. In his previous life, he often participated in such dances. Back then, he specially invited a dance teacher to take lessons so as not to make a fool of himself on such occasions.

Penelo must have also practiced some dance postures, but this kind of learning without actual combat is obviously not enough, so her movements are still a little stiff.

After the dance, Penello was able to get into the mood.

At this time, the dance music played by the Weird Sisters was changed to a fast-paced and violent dance music. Mike, who had finished warming up, smiled evilly at Penelo, and then speeded up his movements.

Penello screamed in surprise at the sudden increase in movement, as he performed various movements under Mike's guidance like a puppet on a string.

Fortunately, Mike's dancing skills are really good. Under his guidance, Penello soon became excited, and the two kept dancing to the dance music.

The dance music on the stage changed one after another. Both Mike and Penello had entered a state of selflessness at this moment, completely ignoring the surrounding environment. Both parties only had eyes for each other.

It wasn't until Penello turned red and panted and burped that Mike stopped and asked:

"Honey, are you feeling okay?"

"I feel great!" Penello shyly buried her head in Mike's arms and said, "But I might have to rest for a while."

Mike understood.

Just now, he watched Penello finish off a whole steak by himself, and then he performed such intense exercise, so it was no surprise that his stomach started to feel uncomfortable.

He quickly helped Penello to sit down at the table, and also helped her get a glass of hot water.

"Is Penello okay?"

Hermione's worried voice came over. Mike turned around and saw Hermione resting alone.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Penello said hurriedly.

She was deeply afraid that Mike would tell Hermione that she felt uncomfortable because she ate too much. This was really too embarrassing.

Upon seeing this, Mike also changed the topic and said:

"Why are you staying here alone? Where are Krum and Harry?"

"Krum went to get me a drink, and as for Harry, I don't want to see them anymore now!"

Mike and Penello looked at each other, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

"Actually, it's mainly Ron. He's really annoying. He actually said that being Krum's dance partner is an act of being an enemy!" Hermione said angrily, "This is simply unreasonable. The original intention of the Triwizard Tournament is Shouldn’t it be to deepen the exchanges between wizards in various countries?”

"Actually, you don't need to take it to heart. Maybe they are just jealous." Penello comforted, "Look, they are so pitiful. Even their dance partners ran away with them."

Mike and Hermione looked in the direction Penello pointed, and sure enough they saw the pair of Indian sisters dancing with two Beauxbatons boys, while their original dance partners, Harry and Ron, sat dejectedly. In a small corner.

Seeing this, the corners of Hermione's mouth turned up unconsciously, but then she returned to her previous appearance and said:

"It's their own fault!"

Mike watched and smiled, sighing secretly that most human happiness is indeed based on the pain of others, even Hermione is no exception.

"That's it, you have a good rest here, and Penelo and I will dance again for a while." Seeing that Penelo was almost resting, Mike said, "By the way, Hermione, if I see Krum, I need Did I tell him you were here?”

"No...no way."

Hermione was obviously disappointed when she heard this, but Mike didn't care. After he replied, he pulled Penello and walked straight towards the stage, leaving Hermione alone standing there looking at his back with resentful eyes. .

"Isn't this not good?" On the dance floor, Penello said worriedly in Mike's ear, "Why don't you invite me to dance?"

"No, tonight I belong only to you, Your Highness."

"Hehehe, you were not like this before."

"I admit that I had some inappropriate thoughts when I was dealing with some things before, but now I have corrected them." Mike felt Penelo's hot breath on his ears and licked his lips and said, " By the way, do you feel that it’s getting hotter and hotter here?”

"Hmm~, yes."

The gentle moaning sound made Mike's heart beat faster and faster. He breathed heavily and asked tentatively:

"Otherwise, let's go to the dormitory."

After saying that, Mike scratched Penello's hand.

Penello's red face became even redder. She didn't answer. Like Mike, she also gently scratched Mike's palm.

The tickling feeling in the palm of his hand spread all the way to the bottom of his heart. Mike couldn't hold it in any longer, so he pulled Penello and left the auditorium.

Mike knew that a lot of things would happen at today's dance, and many mice would show their tricks, but Mike really didn't care about anything now, he just wanted to xxxx.

In the corner of the auditorium, Professor Flitwick, who had witnessed all this, had a relieved smile on his face.

Rubbing his hands vigorously, he felt that his wish to hold his grandson, oh no, his disciple might soon come true!
