Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Penello has never taken it off since getting the Heart of the Ocean, even when sleeping.

Mike understood this, but he couldn't accept Penello wearing that thing when sleeping with him, at least not in the winter.

After all, it is not an easy task to warm a large, smooth stone in the middle of winter.

If you don't keep it warm, the cold touch it brings will definitely extinguish your passionate blood.

Unfortunately, Penello did not accept Mike's suggestion.

It can be seen that Penello really likes this necklace.

This should be nonsense. What woman wouldn’t love a magic necklace that can keep people young forever?

And this necklace has also brought many benefits to Penelo. For example, when the girls get together after class every day, Penelo will inadvertently reveal the heart of the ocean, and then everyone will look at her with envy and jealousy. Next, I will introduce the origin of this necklace to everyone in detail, and finally receive a wave of praise and exclamation.

Penelo always enjoyed doing this kind of behavior that seemed a bit boring to Mike.

Of course, Penello did not reveal the hidden special function of this necklace, but she still understood the reason why ordinary people are innocent and White is guilty.

But this was enough to make her best friends scream. After all, a natural sapphire with such a large size and such high purity is valuable even in the wizarding world (many alchemies use gems).

Thanks to this necklace, Penello was very happy during this time, and Mike was doing well as well.

During the day, he would go to class normally like other students. Although the knowledge taught at Hogwarts was a bit too superficial for him at this stage, some courses could still bring him some fun.

At night, he would devote himself to the research and training of silent spells and wandless spells.

This schedule left him with very little sleep time, and he relied on the Dolphin potion and its powerful mental power to survive.

But Mike was happy.

Because it turns out that his talent in silent spells and wandless spells is quite good. His strength is growing every day under this intensity of training. Although the increase is not much, this continuous positive feedback It's really addictive.

And Mike is not an ascetic masochist, he still understands the principle of combining work and rest.

So every weekend he would take a full day off, sleep in, go to Hogsmeade Village with his friends, or make an appointment with Penelo to have in-depth communication.

This kind of relaxation method is very effective, especially when you encounter strange things every week.

Just like now, when Mike, Benjamin, Franklin and others went to Hogsmeade to have some fun as usual, they saw Ron standing at the Gryffindor table in the auditorium telling about his previous experience in the second Project experience.

But the difference from a few weeks ago is that the story he told has undergone a surprising change!

In Ron's account, the trip to the Black Lake, which was originally very safe and even comfortable for the hostages, turned into a thrilling kidnapping without any advance notice.

Ron himself has transformed into a spell master and kung fu master.

First, he knocked out more than fifty mermaids with an eight-foot height and an eight-foot waist with his bare hands without using magic spells. Then he knocked down hundreds of such square mermaids with a wand. Finally, because of Dumbledore's sudden I came out and explained to him before he gave in.

Facts have proven that as long as you are shameless enough and confident enough, some people will eventually believe your awesomeness.

Just like Padma in the crowd, this girl seems to have some problems with her IQ. At this moment, she is looking at Ron from above with admiration.

Not far away, Mike and his group were watching Ron's performance with great interest.

They didn't want to expose Ron. After all, this was one of the few things that made them laugh wildly recently. They all liked Ron's clown behavior to last longer so that it could bring them more fun.

Unfortunately, some people don't think so.

"Hey! Ron." Zhou Hong blinked his innocent and beautiful big eyes and looked up at Ron and asked curiously, "Why are you talking completely different from what Hermione said?"

Ron, who was still in high spirits at the long table, suddenly froze as soon as these words came out.

He stared at Zhou Hong with his mouth wide open.

But Zhou Hong thought he didn't hear what he was saying clearly, so he repeated it again.

It was better now. Mike didn't know whether Ron heard it clearly, but most of the onlookers in the auditorium, including them, must have heard it clearly.

Everyone cast questioning glances at Ron, and some people who had long disliked him even started to ridicule loudly.

Ron danced around trying to explain, but no one listened to him at all.

In the end, the angry Ron rushed towards Zhou Hong with red eyes, this naughty boy who had greatly embarrassed him.

Seeing this, Benjamin rushed forward with a single step, stood in front of Zhou Hong and kicked Ron over.

Ron, who was extremely angry, wanted to get up and continue, but at this time, Mike and others appeared and his body suddenly suffocated.

Everyone in Hogwarts knew that Benjamin and Mike had a good relationship. Although Ron also had a good relationship with Mike, Ron was not arrogant enough to think that Mike would fall out with Benjamin because of him.

Ron clenched his fists and gritted his teeth while glaring at Zhou Hong, who was protected by Benjamin, before Ron left without looking back.

It was only then that Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Zhou Hong and asked:

"Are you OK?"

"What can happen to me? Do you think I am really just a twelve-year-old child? Even if you take out your wand, you are no match for me."

Hearing this, Benjamin was speechless for a while. If Zhou Hong hadn't said anything, he would have really forgotten that Zhou Hong was a powerful creature.

Smiling awkwardly, Benjamin prepared to invite Zhou Hong to visit Hogsmeade Village.

However, before he could speak, an anxious girl suddenly came over.

"Oh! Merlin! Hong! Are you okay?"

When Mike and the others heard the news, they saw a girl with dark brown hair running quickly to Zhou Hong's side. As she spoke, she started groping around Zhou Hong's body.

"You're not hurt, are you? Let me see! Ron is such an rude bastard!"

Zhou Hong obviously didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Mike and Benjamin. He tried his best to pull the hands, but the girl reluctantly extended her claws to Zhou Hong again and again.

Mike and Benjamin looked at each other, and their expressions became extremely strange.

After a moment of silent communication, Benjamin asked with a kind smile:

"Are you Scarlett? I often hear Zhou Hong talking about you. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Zhou Hong's brother, Benjamin."

Scarlett on the side was not ready to talk to Benjamin at first. When she heard that he was Zhou Hong's brother, she immediately retracted her hand, lowered her head and said with a blushing face:

"Well, I am Scarlett, and Hongzhou and I are... very good friends!"

"This is really great. Zhou Hong has been naughty since he was a child. I hope you can bear with me more."

"He is actually not as bad as you say."

…

Benjamin and Scarlett couldn't stop talking once they started talking, but their eyes were very strange. Benjamin looked like he was looking at his daughter-in-law, while Scarlett wanted to look at her father-in-law.

No one noticed that while the two of them were chatting, Zhou Hong had already disappeared.

Mike and Franklin looked at the excitement with smiles and almost moved out the melon seed bench.

But at this moment, a member of the mutual aid association wearing a Ravenclaw uniform quickly ran to Mike's side and whispered something into Mike's ear.

Mike's expression suddenly changed. He frowned and looked at the visitor seriously and said:

"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, they're in the infirmary right now!"

Franklin, who was standing next to Mike, looked confused when he saw this and asked:

"What's wrong Mike, what happened?"

"It's okay. I'm leaving in a hurry. You don't have to follow me."

After saying that, Mike walked quickly to the infirmary, leaving Franklin feeling his short hair inexplicably.

…

Ten minutes later, Mike finally arrived at the infirmary.

What appeared in front of Mike at this moment was Krum with a piece of gauze tied on his head.

Mike slowed down and entered the ward, closed the door and said:

"I heard you were attacked, what's going on?"

"An old wizard attacked me outside the castle. I heard them say that man's name was Crouch. Then a very tall man appeared and he brought Crouch and me here." Afterwards, Krum touched the gauze on his head again and said with some embarrassment, "I'm not actually injured, it's just a bit of skin breakage. It will be fine soon. It's just that the doctor thinks I have to Tied up like this. So...can you please don't tell Hermione about this? I don't want her to think I'm a coward who wants to be mummified even with the slightest injury."

It can be seen that Klum cares about his image.

It's a pity that Mike's mind is not on this at all now. Mike frowned and continued to ask:

"What about Mr. Crouch?"

"Oh, he was receiving resuscitation in the special ward next door. The curse he used on me was bounced back by my armor protection, and it seemed that it was a very lethal curse, so..."

Krum did not continue speaking, but just made a burping expression.

Mike's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and at this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open again.

This time came Hagrid, Dumbledore, Karkaroff and a large group of people. They filed in, and then Dumbledore looked at Mike with a surprised look on his face.

He was a little surprised why Mike appeared here and was faster than them.

"Krum is my friend, so I came to see him."

Mike explained before Dumbledore could speak.

After hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Krum with questioning eyes.

It's a pity that Krum has no time to talk to him now. Karkaroff is asking about his situation anxiously. In desperation, he can only tell what happened to Mike just now.

"Crouch attacked you? The referee of the Triwizard Tournament attacked you?"

Karkaroff looked livid.

"Scam!" he yelled, accusing Dumbledore. "This is a conspiracy! You and your Ministry of Magic used false excuses to trick me here, Dumbledore! This is not a fair competition! First of all, you secretly Harry Potter crammed the game even though you already had a champion! Now one of your friends at the Ministry of Magic wants to incapacitate my champion! I smell deceit and corruption in this whole thing, and you , Dumbledore, you keep talking about strengthening the ties between the international wizarding community, restoring good relations in the past, and forgetting the differences in the past... Only now do I understand what kind of person you are!"

Karkaroff was so angry that he pointed a trembling finger at Dumbledore, as if he felt that this was not enough to vent his anger, and then spit at Dumbledore's feet.

Dumbledore remained unmoved, as if the person Karkaroff was insulting was not him.

But others couldn't help it.

Soon after, Karkaroff's mouthful of phlegm had just hit the ground. Hagrid grabbed Karkaroff's neck, lifted him up, and pressed him hard. The wall behind you.

"Apologise quickly!"

Hagrid roared, but Karkaroff, who was held in his hand like a little chicken, blushed.

He seemed to want to speak, but Hagrid's big, iron-like hands tightened around his neck, rendering him speechless.

"Hagrid, stop!"

As Dumbledore's cold voice suddenly sounded, Hagrid's body trembled and he immediately let go of his hand.

Karkaroff, who had regained his freedom, slid down the wall like a puddle of mud, curled up at the foot of the wall, covered his neck and coughed heartbreakingly.

"Thank you very much for bringing Mr. Crouch and Krum back, but now, please go out first." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "There are others who are going out too. Only me and Kaka are needed here. Love and Bagman are enough."

After hearing this, everyone left the ward.

Bagman said with a worried look:

"Dumbledore, I want to go check on Crouch. His situation seems to be very bad."

Seeing Dumbledore nodding, Bagman quickly ran out of the ward, while Hagrid and Mike remained unmoved.

Dumbledore's serious eyes glanced over, Hagrid breathed heavily, glared hard at Karkaroff and said:

"Maybe I'd better stay here, Headmaster..."

"Get out! Hagrid!"

Hagrid gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but finally left the ward without saying a word.

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to Mike again.

"Same to you, Mike."

"Principal, I think I should stay here. Krum is a good friend of mine, and I'm very worried about him." Mike winked at Krum, "You think so, Krum, you also hope I can stay here, right?”

Perhaps because he was worried that Mike would ruin his image of a tough guy in Hermione's mind by talking nonsense, Krum rolled his eyes and said quickly:

"Yes, Mike is my best friend in Hogwarts. I hope he can stay here with me."
