Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon, Sister Carol!"

"Yeah, Mike. Let me see how much you all learned from Professor Flitwick."

Since both of them deliberately kept their voices low, this gunpowder-scented conversation was only heard by a few people on stage. And Lockhart unconsciously had a smile on his face after hearing the conversation between the two, and then he was quickly suppressed by him.

After Mike and Carroll drew lots, several other players also drew their own lots, and every time Lockhart held up a note to announce the number, there was a cheer from the audience.

Although he knew that it was not a good idea to think that way, Mike still found such a scene very funny. These audience members are like robots, controlled by Lockhart, the 'mechanic'.

With the conclusion of the lottery, the schedule of the first Hogwarts Duel Tournament was officially released.

Game 1, Mike VS Carroll

Game 2, Cedric VS Slytherin's Silpa (passer-by)

Game 3, Gryffindor's Boys' Union President Bruno VS Gryffindor's Maupas (passer-by)

Game 4, Slytherin's Willie VS Slytherin's Card (passer-by)

The people at Hogwarts were actually dissatisfied with this list, because it was too suspicious.

Among them, except that Cedric was not a civil war, the other three games were civil wars in the same college, and all of these four games were directly played by the seeded players from the four colleges against the self-improved players who were promoted from the audition.

This has to make people wonder if the lottery box has been manipulated to achieve such a controversial and topical result on purpose.

But even so, the audience in the audience gave them the biggest applause when the list was released. After all, even if they didn't say it, everyone actually had some kind of jealousy towards the seed players of their own academy.

Why can you skip the previous game and go straight to the quarter-finals? Why were you chosen instead of me?

Out of this kind of jealousy, everyone hopes that those players who step onto the stage one by one can beat the seed players who go through the back door. After all, they will be able to say, 'Anyway, they are all losers, so I'm going to play. ' OK' and so on.

But will the truth really develop as they hoped?

At least Mike can be sure that he and Cedric will never lose to their respective opponents.

After the lottery ceremony, Mike just left the auditorium from the backstage when he bumped into Franklin who was waiting outside the door.

"Mike, you're finally out!" Franklin said in a depressed mood. "It's too bad that the eight-in-two pair is against Carroll-senpai. Damn Lockhart must have tampered with the lottery box!"

Franklin in front of him looked like a frosted eggplant, Mike looked at him like this, showing a confident smile and arrogantly said: "It doesn't matter, I will win the championship anyway, whether it's Ravenclaw, It's still mine!"

"But, but, Carol is very strong, she is a seventh-grade senior." It seemed that he was shocked by Mike's confident speech, and Franklin stammered, "Besides, Carol senior It will also turn into a groundhog, I asked about it, and that is a very powerful body transformation."

"Kang is busy! That's Animagus, brother!"

Seeing Franklin's still dazed look, Mike explained helplessly: "Don't you take the Transfiguration class well? Animagus Transfiguration is a very advanced Transfiguration, and those who have learned this Transfiguration A person who is able to transform himself into an animal, and who has learned this transfiguration is called an Animagus.

Animagus Transfiguration looks powerful, but it has many limitations.

The first is that it is extremely difficult. Since Animagus can be turned into an animal, it is often used in crimes, so the Ministry of Magic requires all Animagus to register with the Ministry of Magic.

This is both a tribute to and publicity for these Animagus and a scrutiny of them. Professor McGonagall is one of only seven Animagus registered this century.

The reason why there are so few is because it is too difficult. In the process of practicing Animagus, the learner has a great probability of failure, and the price of failure is to become a monster that is half human, half beast, or loses. Self-consciousness has completely turned into a beast.

Secondly, Animagus cannot turn into any animal at will. Each person can only turn into a fixed creature. The animal that can become is related to the character and weight of the caster, and it cannot become a magical creature. Another interesting point is that Animagus' pre-transformation costumes will be reflected in the appearance of the transformed animals.

Take Carroll, for example, the color of the groundhog fur she turned into in the last game was exactly the same as the Hogwarts robe, and there was a sky blue fur between her neck that represented a Ravenclaw tie.

And Carroll's Animagus deformation also exposed her character from the side, good at socializing, will try to avoid confrontation with people, but can show infinite courage in critical moments and so on.

In the end, Animagus is really not strong due to the feature of not being able to become a magical creature, especially Carroll's transformation is still a groundhog. A surprise attack without anyone knowing it might still work, but it's really useless once it's exposed. "

After patiently listening to Mike's story, Franklin's ignorant face was full of sternness, and after a while, he returned to God: "Where did you know so much strange knowledge, how can I remember your Transfiguration score? Not so much?"

Seeing Franklin's reaction, Mike knew that what he had just said was all in vain. He shook his head helplessly and stopped talking. He turned and walked to Professor Flitwick's office, while Franklin followed step by step. behind Mike.

In the past few days, due to the need to conduct a comprehensive search of the place where the crown was found, Mike has been banned from entering the Requirement Room to practice magic spells. Fortunately, Professor Flitwick had anticipated this matter before he left, and gave Mike the key to his office, allowing Mike to practice in the hidden magic training ground in his office.

Although Professor Flitwick spent a lot of money to build a training room in his office, it is still a little worse than the room on demand, but at this moment Mike is also very satisfied.

The competition for the semi-finals will start tomorrow, and Mike must take the time to study Carroll's fighting style.
