Harry Potter Raven's Claw

In the Burrow House, everyone was still circulating Mike's transcript.

This transcript can almost be said to be the best score in this OWLS exam. Everyone showed an expression of surprise after checking it, but after being amazed, they became a little regretful.

Mike's elective courses are really bad. It's okay to say that ancient magical literature is a subject that is more practical in alchemy and translation and archaeology. However, Muggle research courses are too useless. Generally speaking, only those students who want to live a life will choose this course.

In their opinion, outstanding students like Mike should take more useful courses, such as arithmetic divination or magical biology protection classes.

The former can be used to predict the general direction of many things with other subjects, such as predicting the weather with astronomy, while the latter can help Mike, a wizard born from Muggle, to have a deeper understanding of the magical extraordinary creatures in the wizard world.

After discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that Mike must have been cheated when he was choosing elective courses, so he chose Muggle Research Course. In order not to delay the future of Mike, a talent, Dumbledore even suggested that if Mike was willing, he could ask Mike to change the elective course and directly accept the course of protecting magic biology or arithmetic divination.

Mike felt speechless about this.

He chose the Muggle Research Class to take advantage of the situation. Now you asked me to change the class, wouldn’t it deprived me of the power to take advantage of the situation?

Thinking of this, Mike immediately began to change the topic.

"Let's talk about this later." Mike said with a smile, "President Dumbledore, I heard from Harry that you have invited a new Potions professor for us. Can you introduce this professor to us?"

Everyone at the scene heard this and immediately shifted their attention from Mc to Dumbledore.

This is not surprising, because these people here are either students or parents.

Dumbledore, who was staring at everyone, smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly:

"Many of the professor I invited here should know Mori, whose name is Horace Slughorn."

Upon hearing this, Blake and others were all shocked, and Mrs. Weasley shouted in surprise:

"Merlin! It turned out to be Professor Slughorn. I remember he has retired?"

"Yes, he has retired." Dumbledore said with a smile, "but considering the recent severe situation, I still sent him an invitation to teach, and he agreed very happily."

Dumbledore blinked at Harry as he said that, in fact, it was only the two of them who knew how difficult it was to invite Professor Slughorn.

Ron, Hermione and others on the side were confused. They had never heard of this name at all.

"Mom, do you know this Horas Slughorn?"

"Of course, he used to be our professor of potions."

"What kind of professor is he? I mean, how is he like Snape?"

Listening to Ron's question, Mrs. Weasley was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Snape is a genius in potions, but in terms of knowledge mastery and teaching level, Professor Slughorn should not be worse than him. After all, he has been studying this area for a lifetime, and in terms of dealing with people, Professor Slughorn is also more gentle. At least he will not target Gryffindor students like Snape."

A glimmer of joy flashed in Ron's eyes, and he couldn't help cheering, because he could already foresee how pleasant their potion class would be next semester.

But Ron obviously ignored one problem, that is, his OWLS score in Potions was only passed, and it is estimated that Slughorn would not give him the chance to take Potions class at all.

"Don't be too happy too early." Seeing that his son was a little proud, Mrs. Weasley added, "Although Professor Slughorn is better than Snape, he has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, his vanity and great bias."

"You're right, Morry!" Black continued, "Professor Slughorn is very vain and likes to interact with celebrities, successful people, and important people. When we were still at Hogwarts, he often came to curry favor with James and me, because we were the heirs of the Black and the Porter family, and we will definitely be big names in the future. In addition, the student he valued most at the time was Lily, your mother, Harry. Your mother could be said to be the most outstanding student in Hogwarts at that time. No matter how difficult the curse was, she always knew how to learn it, and she always got full marks in terms of potions. At that time, Slughorn believed that she would definitely become an amazing big figure! But when facing Lupin, he was not so enthusiastic."

Lupin raised his eyebrows and said excitedly:

"You just want to be so enthusiastic? Merlin's beard, he wouldn't look at me directly. At first I thought he was because he saw my werewolf, but later I found out that he looked down on everyone except you chosen people. I realized that he looked down on me simply because I was a useless waste."

The more Lupin said, the more excited he became, and in the end his eyes even began to turn red. Obviously, Professor Slughorn had a great psychological shadow on him.

Seeing this, Tonks was unhappy. She first glared at Black, then comforted Lupin and said:

"Remus, in my eyes, you are the best."

"Thank you, my dear."

Looking at the two men who became affectionate in a blink of an eye, Black and others looked helpless, only Harry still lowered his head and looked autistic.

Mike saw all this, and he pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:

"You guys mean, this Professor Slughorn is a guy who really likes to be a celebrity teacher, right?"

Black and Lupin nodded one after another. Mike summed up very well. In fact, the reason why Slughorn is close to those students who are famous or may have famous in the future is just to be called "celebrity teacher" in the future to highlight his greatness.

In fact, his behavior is indeed very effective. Over the years, Professor Slughorn has accumulated a lot of connections. Nowadays, many celebrities in Yingguo and even the entire European wizarding world have maintained good relationships with him, which makes him a benchmark figure in the potion industry although he is not very capable.

"Oh, since that's the case, I probably understand why he still serves as a professor of potions at Hogwarts at such an old age." Mike said to Harry with a smile, "After all, our class has a savior. Harry, I'm afraid that Professor Slughorn will try his best to curry favor with you after school starts."

Mike's words shocked Harry slightly.

He is not a fool either. When he went to negotiate with Slughorn's house before, he realized that the other party wanted to be his teacher very much, and for this reason he agreed to Dumbledore as a professor at Hogwarts.

But at first he didn't take this matter seriously, because theoretically every professor at Hogwarts was his own teacher, and Slughorn had achieved his goal as long as he arrived at Hogwarts.

But now if things really do what Mike and the others said just now, Slughorn will definitely give himself some special treatment when school starts.

For example... I will accept a level of potion courses in exceptional ways!

Thinking of this, Harry's eyes suddenly brightened, and the previous haze was swept away.

Just then, he suddenly remembered a question.

Harry frowned again, and looked at Dumbledore who was smiling across the street and asked:

"President Dumbledore, what if Slughorn becomes our new professor of potions, then what should Professor Snape do?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, especially Ron, who had been curious about Snape's whereabouts for a long time.

"Oh? Hehe! You don't need to worry about this. Professor Snape was placed very well." Dumbledore said with a smile. "He will get a long-awaited position, which is the professor of the Dark Magic Defense Class."

"What? Dumbledore! You actually asked that slug to be Harry's Black Magic Defense Class professor!?" Black suddenly roared, "You will kill Harry if you do this! You must know that guy was a Death Eater before!"

Not only Black was dissatisfied with this decision. Although Lupin and Weasley were not as fierce as Black, they should have a lot of opinions on the matter when they frowned.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and shook his head:

"Severus is the best person."

"What are you kidding? Why can that snot become Harry's Dark Magic Defense Professor? Just because he was a Death Eater, he could have a lot of black magic?" Black's mood became more and more excited. He suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at Dumbledore. "No matter what reason you were in the new Snape's slug before, you should know what time it is now, and you should know what kind of person Snape is! He, a fence-bearer who fell with the wind, may then re-stop on Voldemort! I want you to fire Snape directly, do you understand? Dumbledore?"

"No, don't do this Sirius." Dumbledore said slowly, "You and I should know very well that Severus will never hurt Harry. After all..."

"Go to hell!"

Before Dumbledore could finish his words, Sirius Black roared, then pulled Harry with a confused look on his face and ran out of the restaurant, leaving only Ron and Hermione with a confused look on his face, as well as others with a bad expression.

The protagonists of today were all pulled away, so the birthday party naturally couldn't continue. Although the Weasleys and his wife tried their best to maintain a good atmosphere on the scene, the banquet ended soon after.

Lupin and Tonks left first. They obviously didn't understand Dumbledore's decision very well, but their gentle personality made them not turn against each other like Black, but they did not give Dumbledore's ex-boss a good face.

Looking at Dumbledore's slightly hunched back in the sun, Mike's heart was touched.

He quickly followed and said to the old man:

"Professor Dumbledore, I'll give it to you."

The old man looked at Mike unexpectedly, then smiled and patted Mike on the shoulder, and continued to walk outside the house.

...

In the Masonic villa area, Mike, wearing only a pair of beach pants, was lying on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, enjoying his rare leisure time.

There are not many days since the start of school, and it has been nearly a week since Harry's birthday party. Although Black strongly opposes Snape as a professor of the Black Magic Defense Class, in the end his arm can't twist Dumbledore's thigh.

This was all under Mike's expectations. Dumbledore's decision was not resisted at all, and at best they could only speak a few words.

Shaking his head, Mike smiled and raised the wine glass beside him and took a sip, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘This is the life that people live!’

Thinking of this, Mike lay back on the sun lounger and put on sunglasses.

He decided to have a good rest today and ignore anything.

Unfortunately, not long after Mike lay down, Benjamin came to Mike's villa.

Looking at Mike who was content on the sun lounger, Benjamin suddenly had the urge to hit someone.

I have been through life and death during this period, and I am busy every day for the work I have arranged for Mike, but Mike, the hand-off manager, is enjoying sunbathing leisurely here?

Benjamin's breathing began to become a little rapid, and his originally loose hands were clenched into fists.

But after hesitation, Benjamin gave up the urge to beat Mike.

You should know that you are not a student now. Since you graduated from Hogwarts, your social attributes have become social people, and social people must remain rational!

‘This is blessing! This is blessing!…’

Benjamin kept hypnotizing himself deep in his heart, and finally successfully transformed his expression from full of indignation to full of spring breeze, and then quickly approached Mike.

"Boss, I've done what you told me."

"Huh?" Mike, who was disturbed by the rest, was a little unhappy. He lifted up his sunglasses, frowned at Benjamin with some dissatisfaction, and then asked slowly, "What did I tell you about?"

Upon hearing this, Benjamin's forehead suddenly burst out, but his face still kept a smile:

"It's just a matter of negotiating with Muggle ZF. Boss, have you forgotten?"

"Oh! It's this, what do they say?"

Looking at Mike who jumped up from the sun lounger, Benjamin nodded and said:

"The other party's attitude is quite respectful, but they want to arrange for you to meet the Prime Minister of Yingguo."

"Is the king against the king?" Mike's mouth curled up, "It's interesting."
