Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

There is a mournful howl in the air, and a beautiful song in the water.

Anyone with a little knowledge of magical biology can tell what the sound of the golden egg comes from from this feature.

mermaid.

Or rather, sirens.

But Mike prefers to call them murlocs.

Because in the inherent impression of ordinary humans, a mermaid should be a creature with a beautiful face, a devil figure, a human upper body and a fish lower body.

As for the mermaids in the world of Harry Potter, that appearance really has nothing to do with beauty.

They are so fish-like.

But this does not prevent them from having their own civilization, in fact their culture is very prosperous.

They have their own language, write their own songs, build houses out of stones, domesticate other aquatic animals, make tools and weapons, and even make artworks such as jewelry statues with a strong ethnic style!

These all show that they have very high intelligence.

It's a pity that these things are not worth mentioning in front of the powerful power of wizards.

So after the rise of the wizards, the number of freshwater murlocs closer to the wizards began to drop sharply. Now the freshwater mermaids have become protected animals and only live in a few known large protected areas. , they live on the seabed that is untouched by humans, and some people even claim that the sea mermaids have even built their own large cities.

The largest gathering place of murlocs in the country is the Black Lake in Hogwarts.

Then the answer is already obvious, the location of the second project is Black Lake.

And the content of the project is already very clear.

At that time, the organizers will take away a thing that the warriors think is the most precious, and then put it in the hands of the mermaid in the black lake for the warriors to seize.

After knowing this, Professor Flitwick finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the first project, the difficulty of the second project is too low.

You must know that the mermaids living in the Black Lake have a contract with Hogwarts. They cannot harm any Hogwarts students who fall into the Black Lake, and even provide rescue.

This contract is inviolable. Once the mermaids violate the contract, they will be driven out of the Black Lake.

But in the current world, once they are driven out of the Black Lake, they will only be greeted by a dead end.

So the second project is strictly speaking a racing project.

Warriors should focus on how to move at high speed underwater and find their destination quickly, instead of fighting some aquatic creatures such as mermaids.

Mermaids are not enemies, instead, they are more like lifeguards.

After knowing these things, Professor Flitwick finally put a smile on his face again, took Mike back to the lounge again, and continued drinking and carousing.

The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning. As the protagonist of the banquet, although Mike strongly refused, he was still given a lot of alcohol.

This young body does not have a high tolerance for alcohol, which caused Mike to feel that he was not well when he woke up the next day.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that when he opened the door of the dormitory to find some food, he saw two people wearing dragon training gear standing in front of his door waiting for him.

They all had miserable faces, red eye sockets, and dry and peeled lips due to lack of water, looking very haggard.

"Hello, Mr. Townley." One of the brown-haired middle-aged men handed a long cloth bag to Mike, "You forgot this sword on the field yesterday,

We're here to give it back. "

"Oh! Thank you!"

Mike reached out and took the cloth bag and put it into the Wuhen Stretching Curse bag, and then rubbed his temples while pouring water to drink.

The hangover feeling is really bad, he feels like his head is going to explode now.

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

Frowning and looking around, Mike saw the young man next to the brown-haired middle-aged man who looked very similar to the middle-aged man staring at him with an angry face.

"Oh! Last night's celebration was too intense. I'm not feeling well right now, so I'm really sorry for neglecting you." Mike poured a large pot of cold water first, and then said, "Please don't let go From the bottom of my heart, I thank you very much, really."

Mike's words were quite sincere, but the young man was persistent.

"That's not what I said!"

"Then what do you want to say?"

The originally stretched eyebrows frowned again, and Mike became a little impatient. He felt that this kid might have come here specially to find fault.

"You killed Senna!"

"Senna?"

"It's that Australian egg eye! Damn it! You bastard is so strong, you obviously have other ways to get the golden egg! But you killed Senna just to show off your power! Senna, she, Originally, she was going to be a mother soon, but now... Merlin's beard! Doesn't your conscience ache?"

Now Mike understood that he had encountered an extreme protector of magical creatures.

Mike's frowning eyebrows stretched out, and he looked at the bloodshot eyes in front of him with a blank expression, and his face was ferocious, as if he would rush to fight in the next moment.

If someone who is familiar with Mike is here, they will know that this is a sign that Mike is really angry.

The young man's loud voice also attracted the attention of the rest of the lounge. After realizing that Mike might have conflicted with these two strangers, everyone spontaneously surrounded them.

Wanting to deal with Ravenclaw's warriors on Ravenclaw's territory is simply impatient!

Looking at the gathering of Ravenclaw students who gradually surrounded them layer by layer, the brunette middle-aged man had an ugly expression.

But the young man seemed to be dazzled by anger, and pointed at Mike as if he still wanted to argue with him.

It's a pity that before he could say anything, the middle-aged man covered his mouth, and the hand pointing at Mike was forcibly pressed down.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! My son didn't mean it!"

The brown-haired middle-aged man showed Mike a smile that was uglier than crying. He knew very well that if the two of them want to leave the Ravenclaw lounge safely today, the Ravenclaw warrior in front of him must speak.

Otherwise, at least a painful meal will make me feel like I can't escape.

Everyone in Ravenclaw turned their eyes to Mike and waited for him to speak.

Mike, on the other hand, just felt a little bored.

He also hoped that these two people would be tougher, so that he could teach them a lesson.

But I didn't expect them to be so useless.

Waving his hand, Mike said:

"Forget it, let them go."

Hearing this, the crowd immediately gave way to a small path, and the middle-aged man immediately dragged his son who was still struggling, and hurriedly left the Ravenclaw lounge under everyone's gaze.

While walking, he was still thanking Mike loudly.

"These Guardians of Fantastic Beasts are such a nuisance!"

While talking, Franklin leaned close to Mike, puffed up his chest, and pretended to be inadvertently showing Mike the medal pinned to his chest.

This is still a medal for supporting the Hogwarts warrior-Mike.

It's just that the pattern on the badge has changed. It's no longer a monotonous portrait of a character plus characters, but a dynamic picture of Mike holding up his wand, using the flame spell and the flames sprayed by the fire dragon to fight against each other.

He has done this, so Mike naturally has to cooperate, so he took the opportunity to ask:

"Is this a new medal?"

"Ah! You noticed!" Franklin said excitedly, "Let me tell you, we made this by staying up all night, and there are other tricks on it!"

After all, Franklin pressed the medal heavily.

Immediately afterwards, the original pattern on the medal began to disappear, and then appeared a pattern of Mike holding a radiant long sword and stepping on a huge dragon's head. Below the pattern was written in artistic words: Dragon Slaying Warrior!

This picture was drawn, and I don't know who drew it. It was so fake that it surprised even Mike.

"Oh! That's great!"

Hearing Mike's praise, excited smiles appeared on the faces of the surrounding Ravenclaws.

And it wasn't until this moment that Mike noticed that the students around him were all wearing new-style medals on their chests.

Immediately, Mike was moved.

He bowed deeply to everyone, and said solemnly:

"Thank you, thank you for your support!"

Everyone even said that it is not necessary, as long as Mike can achieve good results in the top three, their support is due.

After a few polite words back and forth, Mike was ready to go to the kitchen to find some food.

But when Franklin knew about this, he stopped Mike.

"Mike! You don't need to go out, I'll just go and get it back for you." Franklin said.

"Yeah, just leave this small matter to us."

The people on the side also echoed.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

As Mike said, he was about to walk out the door. He understood everyone's wishes, but it was better to do his own affairs.

However, Franklin blocked him again.

"What's the matter?" Mike also noticed something was wrong, and asked with a sullen face, "What are you hiding from me?"

When Mike was serious, his expression was full of majesty. Franklin and the others looked at each other, then gritted his teeth and said:

"To tell you the truth, Mike, if you go out now, you will probably get into trouble."

Mike: "?"

Franklin simply didn't explain, but directly stuffed a newspaper into Mike's hand.

This is today's Daily Prophet. Not surprisingly, the headline on the newspaper's front page is the Triwizard Tournament. It praised Mike for his good work and published a photo of Mike fighting a fire dragon (the one on the Franklin Medal. the one that started).

There is nothing special in the report up to here, but in the second half of the report, the author of this article seems to have completely changed his personality, and began to condemn Mike for the cruelty and slaughter of the internationally protected animal-Australian opaleye.

The article also quoted an anonymous interviewer's point of view, claiming that Mike's strength is unquestionable, and having such strength means that he has many faster and safer ways to obtain the golden egg.

But in order to show off his great strength, Mike used such a cruel method to fight against the fire dragon, and finally even took the poor fire dragon's life.

This behavior is no different from that of a dark wizard!

At the end of the article, a photo of the interviewee was also published.

Although there is a mosaic on the head, judging from the clothes, this is clearly the young man who gave Mike the sword before!

Now Mike understands!

No wonder that middle-aged man's attitude is so low!

It turned out that they did such a bad thing behind the scenes!

"This article has caused a lot of repercussions. Now some people in Hogwarts are dissatisfied with you and may come to trouble you." Franklin said awkwardly, "This is not the most serious, the most serious Yes, there are some extreme Fantastic Beasts protectors, they are going to hold a demonstration in Hogsmeade village on Saturday, and they want to discredit you, Mike."

Mike was speechless.

Mike was actually not very angry about the behavior of the young dragon trainer.

After all, the fire dragon has been raised for so long and already has feelings for it. It is understandable to be a little resentful about being killed by Mike.

But what the hell are the others?

Does this have anything to do with them?

I have heard before that vegetarians held parades, even attacked steakhouses and KFC, and affected other people's normal business in the name of saving animals.

Originally, he thought that this kind of idle and painful behavior should not exist in the wizarding world. After all, wizards have always regarded those magical creatures as slaves and food.

However, it now appears that both wizards and Muggles have the problem of feverish brains.

"Franklin, are you saying that those people are going to hold a demonstration in Hogsmeade village this weekend?"

"That's right!"

"Hehe, since they want to make things happen, then I will let them get what they want."

Franklin became excited when he heard the words, and he asked anxiously:

"Mike! What do you want to do? Whatever you want to do, I will help you!"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Mike sneered, "And before that, I have other things to do!"

After that, Mike turned and went back to the bedroom.

He was going to write to Fudge and the PR department of the Los Santos Corporation right now and ask them what was going on with that article in the Daily Prophet today.

As the largest media in the country's wizarding community, the Prophet Daily is not afraid of affecting the reputation of the country's wizarding community. It blatantly blackmails their own players in the report of this kind of international competition, or the players who have just achieved good results!

If it is said that no one is behind this matter, even if Mike is killed, he will not believe it!

You must know that for a large newspaper like the Daily Prophet, all manuscripts have to go through layers of review before publication, so there is absolutely no possibility of errors.

Mike swears, no matter who is behind the trick, he is dead!
