Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Buckbeak? Who's that?"

Mike asked suspiciously, frowning.

Hermione looked at Mike in shock, as if she was shocked by Mike's answer, but then her face became a little annoyed, and said:

"You forgot it? Didn't you ride it when you first started school?"

It was only then that Mike remembered that Buckbeak was the Hippogriff, and quickly apologized to Hermione.

He really forgot about Buckbeak. During this period of time, his mind was full of matters about Black and the Freemasons, and he didn't take the 'beast' Buckbeak into his heart at all.

Fortunately, Mike has a sharp tongue and has a lot of experience in dealing with girls like Hermione. After comforting her for a while, Hermione finally stopped being angry and began to explain Buckbeak.

"I overheard Professor McGonagall chatting with Professor Lupine, saying that Malfoy's father brought Buckbeak to court, and the Ministry of Magic decided to execute Buckbeak because he hurt Malfoy!"

Hermione was very emotional, and her eyes were red again when she spoke.

Mike's heart was not fluctuating, and he even wanted to laugh.

To be honest, it is a pretty good result that the Buckbeak wounding incident can end in this way. After all, Buckbeak is a beast with a history of wounding people. Once such a low-intelligence beast in Muggle society If they have a history of hurting or eating people, death is their only end.

This is the same in the wizard society, after all, no one can guarantee whether the beast will fall in love with the smell of human blood, and make similar or more serious mistakes again.

Mike believed that even Hagrid would have been severely punished if Dumbledore hadn't intervened. After all, as a professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures class, he should bear a considerable part of the responsibility for this matter.

Hermione and Harry thought that Malfoy was provocative first, so it was right for Buckbeak to hurt Malfoy, not to mention that Malfoy's injury was not serious.

But this kind of thinking is extremely subjective and extremely stupid.

The so-called ass decides the head, they only favor Buckbeak because they have a bad relationship with Malfoy and a good relationship with Hagrid. From the perspective of a bystander, Mike thinks that the behavior of the Malfoy family is not too much .

After all, provocation is not against the law, just like when you are sitting on the subway and an aunt suddenly jumps out, points at your nose and starts cursing, this is provocation, even if you report j, it is useless, at most people will be educated verbally.

But if you can't help beating her, then I'm sorry, you may lose money or go to jail.

This is true between humans, let alone between humans and beasts.

Of course, it was impossible for Mike to tell Hermione these words. On the contrary, he tried his best to express his indignation towards the Malfoy family from Hermione's point of view, and said that they must have used their privileges to make things develop. so.

As Mike expected, a girl of this age is still so easy to deceive, Hermione's eyes lit up when Mike said this.

No longer caring about crying, he immediately returned to his usual seat and began to read a thick book, and claimed that he must work hard to help Buckbeak escape the fate of being executed.

Mike flipped through a few books on Hermione's desk, and shook his head when he found that they were all law-related books.

Hermione wants to rescue Buckbeak through legal channels, and Mike is pessimistic about this.

However, he was doing a good job on the surface. Seeing that Hermione had completely forgotten the unhappiness with Ron just now and was immersed in the study, Mike left the library without a sound and went to the Room of Response.

'I need a place to hold prisoners. '*3

After standing in front of the Room of Requirement and saying silently three times, a huge dungeon appeared in the Room of Requirement.

This place perfectly fits all Mike's fantasies about the dungeon, dark, damp, dirty...

There is only a long corridor inside the dungeon, and the two sides of the corridor are full of large and small cells. The smallest of these cells can only be measured in centimeters, and the largest is more than ten meters high. I don’t know. These strange cells are there to hold something.

Mike even found some human-shaped skeletons in some cages. The surface of the bones of these skeletons was extremely dirty, and some of them were broken.

"It seems that my seniors have achieved a lot!"

As Mike said, he stuffed Peter Pettigrew, who was still stiff, into a cell with a size of only ten cubic centimeters, put some dry bread in it, and left the gloomy dungeon.

It's just that he didn't go far. He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment while standing at the door of the Room of Requirement, and then opened the door again.

The layout of the Room of Response has changed drastically, and it has returned to the training room that Mike is most familiar with.

Mike poured himself a cup of black tea familiarly, then sat on the sofa and sipped it.

The Christmas holiday is coming, and Penello and Franklin will leave Hogwarts tomorrow to go home to reunite with their families, so Mike decided to hold the first summary meeting of the Freemasonry tonight.

Before finishing a cup of black tea, Penello and Franklin came to the Response Room one after another.

Mike poured a cup of black tea for them respectively and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting formally."

As Mike announced the official start of the meeting, Penello straightened up and took out a plate of documents and said:

"Let me report first. As of today, we have lent out 13,410 Galleons. The smallest loan amount is 10 Galleons, and the largest is 500 Galleons.

Among them, students in grade 4 and above borrow far more than students in lower grades, but most of them use the money to purchase new books and materials needed for learning.

Among the students in the lower grades, only a small number of them used the loan on the right way. Most of them used the money to buy various candies and toys, and one person even bought a Nimbus 2000 with the loan. "

Penello paused when he said this, put down the documents in his hand and looked at Mike and said, "I think these people who use their loans for eating, drinking and having fun have no potential at all. It is recommended to stop investing in them."

Mike lowered his eyes and did not answer Penello directly.

"How is the sharing of learning resources going?"

"Similar to the use of loans, the senior students are very fond of the shared community we have established, and have a strong desire to exchange knowledge and exchanges with each other. But the students of the lower grades..."

Penello closed his mouth when he said this, but shook his head slightly, the meaning was already very clear.

"It seems that our student aid agencies are only counterproductive for students who are too young, so let's do it, stop providing loans to students under the fourth grade, and increase the maximum loan limit for senior students."

"Understood, I will carry it out."

Under the sluggish eyes of Franklin, Mike and Penello completed the future planning of the student aid program, but Mike did not stop talking at this time, and then said:

"Okay, the first thing is over. Let's start today's serious business. Regarding the new members, do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

After Mike finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Franklin aside, and Franklin, who noticed Mike's gaze, immediately woke up from his daze, and quickly shook his head like a rattle after realizing that Mike was asking him.

Mike turned his gaze to Penello again, and Penello raised her slender forearm and said slowly:

"I recommend Soraka to be our new member."

Hearing Penello's words, Mike stood up immediately, raised his volume and said:

"Soraka? That doctor who likes to disembowel people?"

"Yes, I think Soraka is a very good candidate. She has a very high talent in healing and has a good personality. All the loans we lent her before were used by her to improve herself... In the end The important thing is that she has a relationship with us."

After quietly listening to Penello, Mike slowly raised his lowered head and asked, "What did she do with the loan?"

Now Penello was silent, and said after a long time: "I bought a lot of corpses for dissection."

'Is that really the case? '

Mike thought so, and rubbed his brows vigorously. After thinking for a long time, he agreed to Penello's proposal. After all, Soraka still has abilities besides being a little perverted, so he said:

"Then let's start voting. Those who agree with Soraka's joining should raise their hands."

After saying that, he raised his hand first.

This is the system negotiated by Mike, Penello and others. Every member of the Freemasonry must be recommended by an old member and voted by all members of the Freemasonry. Only more than half of the members agree to join.

Penello naturally supported Soraka, so Franklin's vote was irrelevant.

"Then Soraka is tentatively determined to be a member of the Freemasonry, then you can contact her, Penello." Mike spread his hands and said, "I also have someone to recommend here, Brother Weasley. Although the strength of these two people is not very good, they have great talents in invention and creation, and I have a good friendship with them."

"But they're purebloods."

Franklin frowned and asked.

For this black brother, Mike was really speechless, but since they were all grasshoppers on the same rope, he could only patiently explain:

"Franklin, our organization is not a group of Muggle wizards. We support Muggle-born wizards only because they can bring us more benefits. In principle, we do not exclude people of any bloodlines from joining. We now want to Unite all forces that can be united."

Franklin nodded thoughtfully, then raised his hand before Mike announced the start of voting.

Mike also raised his hand upon seeing this.

Ever since, Penello's vote also lost its meaning.

At this point, the first summary meeting of the Freemasonry officially ended, and after the meeting, the three of Mike returned to Ravenclaw together.

Three days later, Hogwarts Castle had put on new clothes. Professor Flitwick, who loves to arrange parties, took the students who planned to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas and arranged Hogwarts into a kingdom of ice and snow.

Not only was the auditorium full of ribbons and balloons, but even the monster statues that looked so hideous in the past were put on Santa hats by the students, making them look a little more cute.

Mike stood in front of the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge, looking at the portrait of Sir Cardo in front of him, quite speechless.

Since being attacked by Black, the original doorman of the Gryffindor lounge, the fat lady, is determined not to be willing to take on this dangerous job. Not only her, but most of the portraits in Hogwarts are also unwilling to do it.

In desperation, Professor McGonagall could only choose Sir Cardo who volunteered.

Sir Caddo was a gallant knight, but not in the right mind, who would challenge anyone who passed him on his fat gray horse.

At this moment, he was provoking Mike, hoping that Mike could accept his challenge.

Mike didn't know the password of the lounge, so he could only stay here and wait for other Gryffindor students to come in and out, so that he could check the password.

"Mike!? Long time no see."

A somewhat familiar voice came, and Mike turned his head to see a fat man looking at him in surprise.

"Neville? You came just in time. I've been standing here for almost half an hour. Read the password and let me in."

The naive Neville asked Mike why he came, and after saying "oh", he took out a piece of paper full of words and began to read:

"Broken glass, dragon gen, dragon ball, cold blood..."

Mike on the side looked a little silly, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

"Oh, Sir Cardo needs to change his password at least twice a day. I can't remember it at all, so I copied all the passwords he set before, hoping to get it right."

Mike: "..."

Facts have proved that Mike's luck was not bad. Sir Cardo finally opened the entrance when Neville read the forty-first password.

Neville, who got the password right, seemed very happy. He really wanted to share his joy with Mike, but Mike didn't have time to talk to him at all, and went straight to the Weasley brothers' dormitory.

All of the Weasley brothers' roommates had gone home, so Mike closed the door behind the Weasley brothers after a while and started explaining about the Freemasonry.

Half an hour later, Mike, who finally explained the general role of Freemasonry and the rights and obligations enjoyed by each member to the two, took a deep breath and said:

"As I said before, this is a very small but extremely united organization, and now I sincerely invite you to join."

The Weasley brothers looked at each other, and then said in unison:

"We have no problem swearing on an unbreakable oath, it's up to you, boss."

"Then when the holiday is over, we will hold an initiation ceremony for you."
