Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Following the order from the female student council president, the carriage Mike and his friends were riding in was silently dragged up by two thestrals.

After a period of run-up, the two thestrals opened their bat-like wings, flapped twice, and took off with the carriage.

The Thestral is indeed an extremely outstanding magical creature mount. Not only does the entire take-off process flow as smoothly as clouds and water, but it also flies very fast.

Mike felt that the Thestrals' ability to fly was definitely not the pair of wings, but another special power, because when the Thestrals spread their wings, he saw with his own eyes that there were many holes in their wings, and the largest ones were even

As big as Mike's head, no matter what kind of creature it is, it will never be able to fly with such a pair of tattered wings.

The climate in England is cold, and the evening wind brought a slight chill to the body. Mike shook his body twice and stopped looking at the two thestrals, and got back into the carriage again.

Inside the carriage, Franklin was teasing the laughing owl Afu above his head. Due to the owl's diurnal and nocturnal nature, the little guy seemed very excited, and his big eyes curiously looked at the decorations inside the carriage.

"It seems that you are in pretty good condition." Mike sat next to Franklin and said to him.

"I told you a long time ago that it's nothing serious." Franklin waved his hand and said, "This is an old problem. Thinking of my parents gives me a headache, but as long as I don't think about it, it'll be fine."

"It's better to go to Madam Pomfrey's and have a look. It's best if nothing happens. If anything happens, you can find out in advance."

Franklin was originally thinking about saying something, but when he saw Mike's sincere eyes, the words that reached his throat were not uttered after all. He only felt his nose was sore, so he nodded and stopped talking.

The Thestral flew very quickly, and within a short time the two of them arrived at the hunting grounds of Hogwarts, where Professor Kettleburn was already waiting.

Professor Kettleburn is the Professor of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts. He is a very enthusiastic old man. Because he usually has to take care of and study those dangerous magical creatures, Professor Kettleburn is often injured, which also causes him to be permanently injured.

He lost an arm and half a leg. It is said that due to his physical disability and increasing age, he will retire next year.

Professor Kettleburn was very surprised that the three of them arrived at Hogwarts early. After learning the whole story, he hurriedly notified Madam Pomfrey and asked her to take Franklin to the infirmary.

Mike and Penello originally wanted to go with them, but Madam Pomfrey sent them to the Great Hall on the grounds that they would disturb the treatment.

Professor Kettleburn has not left. The Thestral carriages carrying the senior students are landing one after another. He must be here to pick up these students.

"Don't worry, Pomfrey is definitely the most skilled healer I have ever seen. Even the chief physician at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies is not as good as her." Professor Kettleburn threw two pieces of meat.

After giving it to the two Thestrals, seeing that Mike and Penello looked very worried, he comforted them, "So don't worry, your friends will be safe and sound. You'd better go to the auditorium as soon as possible."

Mike and Penello heard this and had to leave.

The auditorium was decorated magnificently tonight. When the two arrived at the auditorium, some students were already sitting on the four long tables representing the four major colleges.

Professor Flitwick was sitting in the teacher's seat on the high platform chatting with other classrooms. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mike and Penello walking into the classroom. He hurriedly stood up from the high cushioned seats and faced them.

The man waved. The movement was so big that he almost fell off his seat. Fortunately, Snape on the side cast a levitating spell in time.

Mike also saw Professor Flitwick and waved to him. At the same time, he also noticed that there was no Professor McGonagall in the classroom seats. It seemed that the professor who organized the freshmen to participate in the sorting ceremony today was still McGonagall.

Mike and Penello sat down at the long Ravenclaw table, and not long after, Professor Kettleburn came to the auditorium with a large group of senior students.

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium became lively in an instant. The seats next to Mike and Penello were full of people. Everyone was talking about what they had experienced during the holiday and expressing their joy at seeing their friends again.

Dumbledore on the stage looked at the mess of the little wizards below with a smile, and did not try to stop them. It was as if he had seen the most beautiful scene in the world.

In the end, Professor McGonagall, who was still standing outside the door waiting for the new students, couldn't stand the noise anymore. He rushed into the auditorium, put his wand against his throat, released a loud curse and yelled: "Quiet, everyone! The new students will be here soon, everyone."

I'll sit down obediently! You don't want to either..."

However, before she could finish her words, the door was opened again, and a wet red-haired boy walked in from the door, it was Percy.

Percy felt that he was extremely unlucky tonight. Those damn naughty kids were simply demons from hell, which made him exhausted both physically and mentally. If he didn't have to create the image of his close brother, Percy swore that he would definitely let them know.

Why are the flowers so red?

His shoulder was still aching, and that damn guy from Hagrid almost broke his bones with a slap from his face.

However, this was not the worst luck tonight. When Percy arranged for many young wizards to come to the open space where the Thestral carriage was parked, he found that there was no Thestral carriage anywhere. There was only a picture left by the President of the Male and Female Student Council in the open space.

A piece of paper that says:

Sorry, there was a little accident. Although I don't know who you are, you may have to squeeze into the boat with the new students.

Percy didn't complain, and turned around and ran towards the pier, because he knew that Hagrid and the others were about to set off, and if he couldn't catch the boat, he might actually have to walk to Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Percy caught up with the boat. Unfortunately, because the seats on the boat were also fixed, he had to squeeze into the same boat with Hagrid.

As you can imagine, Hagrid's boat was already struggling to carry Hagrid's weight alone. Add in Percy's weight and the poor boat would undoubtedly capsize. Fortunately, there is a boat in the Black Lake.

The octopus and sea monster that Hogwarts raised specifically to prevent little wizards from falling into the water, otherwise Percy might not be able to come back tonight.

Everyone in the auditorium laughed loudly when they saw Percy's embarrassed appearance, among which the Weasley brothers laughed the loudest.

Percy's face almost turned the same color as his hair amidst everyone's laughter. He had never been insulted like this before.

Professor McGonagall's face was also ugly. She had always been a person who cared about face. With a flick of her wand, all the water on Percy's body disappeared. Seeing that Percy was still frozen in place, looking at a loss.

She shouted in a very low voice: "Why don't you go back to your seat quickly! Don't you think you have embarrassed yourself enough today?"

Hearing that Percy was granted amnesty, he hurriedly ran to the long Gryffindor table. He didn't know if he tripped or almost fell down on the way, causing the students in the auditorium to yell again.

Laughed.
