Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Townley."

After all the prisoners were taken away, the leading Auror nodded to Mike.

"This is what I should do as a Hogwarts student."

"You are really a model student, Dumbledore should give you another special contribution award." Auror said with a smile on his face, "Then I will go first, I wish you a happy weekend."

"Okay, and good luck to you too," Mike said. "Oh, yes. Say hello to Minister Fudge for me, by the way."

Captain Auror nodded in agreement, drew his wand, and cast the Apparition Charm.

With the sound of crackling explosions, the figure of Captain Auror disappeared in front of everyone.

Only then did Benjamin lean over, and asked softly with some excitement:

"We still have a relationship with the Minister of Magic?"

Mike didn't speak, and Benjamin in front of him obviously guessed something from his last words before, so he was so excited that he couldn't hold back.

However, this is really not the place to talk about these things.

And Benjamin quickly realized this, and quickly covered his mouth.

It was right to do so, because Benjamin, who had received Mike's acquiescence, was already trembling with excitement at the moment.

He knew that Mike's Freemasons and the Los Santos Group were very powerful, but he never expected that Mike would have a relationship with the Minister of Magic, and even let the Minister of Magic help him arrest people!

"Okay, I've been overwhelmed." Mike patted Benjamin's keyboard and said, "Everyone, don't be dazed. The party continues, let's continue to eat!"

Following Mike's order, the students who had eaten the barbecue immediately cheered.

To be honest, they were really worried that Mike would announce the end of the party. After all, everyone knew the purpose of Mike’s holding this party, and now that Mike’s purpose of attacking those demonstrators had been achieved, strictly speaking, there was no such thing as this party. It exists for a reason.

Fortunately, Mike is not that kind of stingy person, just a little bit of meat, he can still afford it.

For this result, everyone is very happy, except Harry.

He has been sullen since Carlo's gang was taken away, in stark contrast to Ron who has been stuffing barbecue into his mouth.

"What's wrong with you, Harry." Mike said with his arms around Harry's shoulders, "Is there anything unhappy you can say to make us happy. Hahaha."

Harry naturally knew that Mike was joking, but at the moment he really couldn't laugh.

Having been with Mike for so long, he naturally knows that Mike is the kind of person who repays kindness with kindness.

So after being invited by Mike, he agreed without even thinking about it.

In his opinion, this should be Mike's revenge, eating barbecue in front of Carlo and the others, making them lose face.

But what he didn't expect was that Carlo and the others were directly taken away by the Aurors!

He also read some law books last year to help Hagrid fight the lawsuit, so he knew very well that generally the prisoners who need Aurors to come forward to arrest them will be thrown into Azkaban in the end.

And Azkaban, that was hell!

To be honest, he thought Mike's revenge was a little too much.

"It's nothing..." Harry struggled whether to say what he thought in his heart. After hesitating again and again, he still gritted his teeth and said, "That...Mike, don't you think you've gone too far?"

"Unfortunately, I don't think so, on the contrary, I think this result is kind to them.

Mike said, "I think you have misunderstood something. Carlo and his gang are really not good people, and the crimes pronounced by the Aurors are true." "

Harry froze for a moment.

Seeing this, Mike continued: "Also, do you still remember the signs they held up, that is, the pictures with many magical animals being abused on them, how do you think these came from?"

"Didn't it be filmed when they rescued those magical creatures? Oh! My God! Don't you mean?"

"That's right, Harry. These pictures were actually taken by themselves. It's the same reason they invited those ladies to pretend to be their staff. The only difference between the two is that those ladies are not theirs." companions, and the animals in those photos were really abused." Mike said earnestly, "So, they all deserve what they deserve, Harry."

"Oh, to be honest, Mike. Oh, these people today remind me of Hermione." Ron muttered while chewing on the barbecue, "You must not have imagined that she recently set up a family small Elves Liberation Front, who say they want to help house-elves go free. She's nuts, if I ask you. If the house-elves really listen to her, who's going to cook for us?"

Hearing this, Mike smiled, he remembered that there was indeed such a plot in the original book.

"That's right! I saw Dobby in Hogwarts last time, and he is now working in Hogwarts." Harry said suddenly as if he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, Mike, you Don't you know Dobby yet? That's a house-elf friend of mine who used to be a house-elf of the Malfoy family, but he's free now."

"Yeah, that's really good."

Mike was perfunctory, he naturally knew about Dobby.

That is a non-mainstream among house elves, extremely rare ones who pursue freedom and are unwilling to be slaves.

In the original plot, he should have appeared in Harry's second grade, but later because of Mike's existence, things in the second grade changed quite a bit.

At first, Mike thought that Dobby would never appear again, but he didn't expect that he would end up with Harry.

Harry continued: "He came to the Hogwarts kitchen with a house-elf named Winky, a female elf, and I think Dobby may have fallen in love with her."

"Winky!?"

"That's right, it is said that she was also given clothes by the master and became a free body, but unlike Dobby, she was very sad about regaining her freedom."

Harry continued to gossip about Dobby and Mike, but he didn't notice that Mike on the opposite side already had a look of horror.

Sparkle!

He remembered the name. It was the house-elf of the Crouch family. She was the one who accompanied Barty Crouch Jr. who had released the Bone Revival Curse to the field on the day of the Quidditch World Cup.

Damn it, he actually forgot all about this part of the plot.

"That Dobby and Winky," Mike frowned, "are they still in the Hogwarts kitchen?"

"That's right, what's wrong."

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about that Dobby. By the way, you can introduce me later, I want to meet these two." Mike said as if nothing had happened, "You know, I always like to pay some special friend."

"Of course! I would be very happy if you could become friends!"

Harry said happily, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively again.

Meanwhile, in Hogwarts, the diminutive Professor Flitwick was on his way to Dumbledore's office.

He had made an appointment with Dumbledore earlier to have a small private meeting about the Triwizard Tournament and Mike.

And his main purpose of this meeting was to make Dumbledore more partial to his own players in the next two events. It would be best if he could be as shameless as Karkaroff.

Although this possibility is not great, Dumbledore still has to face.

But he felt that at the very least, Dumbledore should be able to maintain absolute fairness, instead of only giving Mike nine points for his own reputation like last time (Flitwick thinks so).

“Chocolate Rum Hearts!”

"The password is correct!"

Following the muffled response, the monster stone statue outside the principal's office moved aside, revealing the passage inside.

Flitwick walked into the office with slow but steady steps, and saw Dumbledore in a white robe writing something on the eagle-legged desk in the center of the office in this spacious circular office.

And next to him, where the Phoenix Foxy pedal frame should have been, the Phoenix Foxy and the wooden frame disappeared, and a new frame with a disc at the top was replaced.

There are a lot of silk cloths piled up in the disc, and on top of these silk cloths is a fiery red egg.

Flitwick's eyes drifted past the egg and fell back on Dumbledore.

He knew that the phoenix Foxy took the initiative to nirvana earlier this year, and in the near future, he will return in the form of a baby bird.

"Filius, sit down!" Dumbledore noticed Flitwick, and hurriedly got up and greeted, "Would you like black tea or juice, how about some rum chocolate for dessert, I've been crazy about it recently the taste of."

"There's no need to be so troublesome, Dumbledore. I think it's better for us to get straight to the point, after all, you seem to be quite busy." Flitwick sat across from the eagle foot table, "About the Triwizard Tournament, I I hope you can give Mike and Harry a little help on the grading. Of course, I don’t mean to say that your previous grading was unfair. I just want to say that they are all your students after all, and you, as the principal, should stand On their side. You should understand when I say that?"

"Filius, I understand what you said. As the headmaster of Hogwarts, as a professor, of course I love my students. At the same time, I have been taking care of my students, including Harry and Mike, it's just that you haven't seen the work I've done."

Hearing this, Professor Flitwick scolded angrily: "What you mean by caring is that you only gave Mike 9 points? It's okay for Harry, after all, his performance is not perfect. But what about Mike? He got the golden egg unscathed ! Don't you think the marks you give are unfair?"

"Mike obviously had a better way to get the golden egg safely without anyone being hurt. But he still chose such a dangerous method, which is why I deducted one point from him." Demps Li Duo said earnestly, "Don't get excited, Felius. In fact, even if you don't come to me, I will come to you and talk to you. Regarding Mike, I think it's time for us to intervene. You know Yes, he knows black magic, and his attainments in black magic are already quite high. Judging from his recent behavior style, I think he is in a very dangerous situation now. So..."

"Bang!" Professor Flitwick slammed the table and interrupted Dumbledore, "So what? Are you going to send him to Azkaban?!"

"You misunderstood me, Felius. I just want to talk to that kid. The talent shown by that kid is really amazing. If he goes astray, it will be a terrible thing."

"Hehe! You also carried out your so-called intervention when facing Tom back then, but what happened? A pure lunatic just appeared like this!" Flitwick sarcastically said, "I don't believe you! Dumbledore Mike is a student brought out by me. I know his character far better than you. He is a good boy! So I don’t allow you to use your methods on him, remember? Dumbledore .”

After all, Flitwick slammed the door and left without waiting for Dumbledore to react.

With Flitwick's departure, the circular office returned to silence again. Dumbledore sat on the sofa with a blank expression, his eyes were deep, and no one could guess what he was thinking now.

At this time, the magical portraits of the past principals on the wall also secretly opened their eyes and looked at Dumbledore in the center of the office.

But then they immediately closed their eyes again and pretended to be asleep, because from what they knew about Dumbledore, it could be seen that Dumbledore was in a very bad mood now.

Only a slightly bald portrait looked puzzled and said:

"Sometimes I really don't understand you, Dumbledore. If you think that student named Mike may become a scourge in the future, then you can get rid of him now, so that you can do it once and for all, can't you? My This is what is done at the time, and it is called taking precautions before they happen.”

Another portrait on the side sarcastically said: "So this is why you became the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts history? Blake!"

"You fart! I'm not hated!"

What responded to him was a hehe from the other party.

Just as Black was about to speak again, a portrait at the top suddenly spoke.

"That's enough! Shut up, Phineas and Armando." The portrait looked at Dumbledore who had been silent all this time, "So what are you going to do now, Dumbledore."

As soon as the words came out, Armando and Phineas cast their eyes on Dumbledore, and even the portraits who were still pretending to sleep secretly opened their eyes when they heard the words.

But Dumbledore remained silent.

After a while, he sighed deeply, and said wearily:

"Let's... observe it first. Maybe Felius is right."

The portrait at the top shook his head, but he didn't say anything, instead he closed his eyes again.

And the other portraits stopped talking.

The portraits of their former principals do have the responsibility to help the current principal, but they do not have the right to interfere with the decision of the current principal.

So when Dumbledore had already made a decision, even though they didn't approve of the decision so much, it didn't help.
