Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

In the dormitory, standing in front of Mike were two house elves, the Shukbeta brothers and Winky Dobby.

Winky is staring at Shu Ke and Beta with envious eyes at the moment.

No way, compared with Winky and Dobby, Shuke and Beta's looks are much better.

They were all dressed in neat miniature butler uniforms, standing there with straight backs, looking very energetic.

Although house elves are slaves of wizards, and wizards are more sensitive in giving house elves clothing, the appearance of house elves used to entertain guests can also highlight the financial and moral level of the host family.

In Shining's view, Mike must be a new owner with rich financial resources and a very kind heart.

But Dobby didn't think so much, he was already too excited at this moment, just now he signed a magic contract with Mike with the help of Hermione, and he is now a glorious employee of the Los Santos Group!

Weekly salary 2 gold Galleons! Only need to work 8 hours a day, weekends and weekends!

Dobby felt like he could wake up from a dream with a smile.

But the Shukbeta brothers and Winky didn't think so. They despised Dobby, a house-elf scum who needed wages for his work, which could be seen from their positions.

All three of them stood as far away from Dobby as possible.

"Then, Beta, Dobby will be handed over to you first, and you can lead him to the headquarters of the Los Santos Group later. He will be responsible for the cleaning work there in the future."

Shu Ke bowed and said yes, and then took Dobby Apparating away with a constipated face.

At this moment, Mike finally set his sights on Shining again.

"Oh! Winky, I'm very happy that you can join my family." Mike sighed, "I'm glad you are different from Dobby, really, the salary is another way, mainly vacations. Maybe you don't know, I have too much work to deal with here, if you ask for an 8-hour work system and weekly weekends like Dobby, it will be too difficult for me!"

"Xingying is a good elf! Winning will work hard and never let the master down!"

Shining shouted excitedly, and upon seeing this, an inexplicable smile appeared on Mike's face.

"It seems that you can't wait to get into work, but there is one more thing we need to figure out before that." Mike paused and continued, "I remember that you used to be the house elf of the Crouch family, right? ? Then you know where Barty Crouch Jr. went?"

Hearing this, Shining suddenly froze, trembling all over, with a look of fear on his face.

"Little...young master...he's missing! Shining doesn't know where he went!"

No sooner had Winky finished speaking than she began banging her head against the wall, a house-elf way of punishing herself.

Mike nodded slightly. He still believed what Winky said. Traditional house elves would never deceive their masters.

"Tell me in detail, Winky, how did little Barty Crouch disappear?"

"No! Winky can't say it!" Winky continued to bang her head against the wall, "Winky is a bad elf! Winky actually revealed the secret of the former owner!"

Seeing this, Mike did not choose to continue persuading, but took out a bottle of translucent potion and handed it to Shu Ke, and at the same time told him:

"I want to know everything about the Crouch family. Take Shiny back, and then persuade her, if it doesn't work, use this thing. By the way, you know how to use this thing, right?"

His thin fingers brushed the words Veritaserum on the bottle, Shu Ke nodded firmly, and then forced the tearful Shining away from Mike's bedroom.

nodded,

Mike also took out the Masonic gold coins and went to the magic spell practice field in the secret realm.

Here he was to practice silent and wandless spellcasting.

It is well known that children with wizard talent will have at least one burst of magic power before the age of eleven, and the formation of the magic power burst is because the magic power in the little wizard's body is still in an active but uncontrollable stage at this time, so it is often affected by emotions. The influence in turn caused all kinds of unusual supernatural phenomena to appear around them.

Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as a kind of silent spellcasting.

But after the age of eleven, as the body and character gradually matured, this natural ability to cast spells silently and without a staff would also disappear from the little wizard.

If you want to regain these two abilities, you need strong talent and hard work.

The skills of silent spells and wandless spells are not really a secret, but few wizards have really mastered them.

Because if you want to master these two spellcasting techniques, you must fully understand the principle of spell formation, which means that you have to learn each spell one by one, because each spell works in a completely different way.

At the same time, you also need to have a strong control over the magic power, because your behavior of waving the wand and chanting the magic spell is actually guiding the magic power to run according to the set trajectory to become a complete magic spell, which can be regarded as a complete magic spell. It is a kind of foolish way of casting spells, and now you have lost the guidance of these two, and the magic power needs to be controlled by yourself. Without the magic wand's super-powerful increase in the power of the spell, the power of the spell released will be greatly reduced.

However, in order to perfectly reproduce the spell, the control required is extremely exaggerated, and the current Mike is still far behind.

Therefore, Mike's research on silent spells and wandless spells is actually a thankless act.

Because the silent spell and wandless spell he released now are much weaker than the one he released with the wand.

But there is no way, Mike's current strength has reached a stable and slow rising period, and he can't find any way to make his strength skyrocket again, so he can only practice the silent and wand spell to strengthen himself in the face of special forces in the future. response to the situation.

At the same time, by often using the silent and wand-free spell to exercise your ability to control magic power, and the power of magic power control to the extreme can only be described as terrifying!

According to Mike's speculation, if he can really reach the height that only exists in theory, then he doesn't need to understand its mechanism and principle at all to release the magic spell. The magic power in his body will be automatically generated according to his thoughts Supernatural phenomena are equivalent to possessing a certain degree of ability to make one's wishes come true!

For example, in front of you is a big river without bridges, and you cannot cross it.

With a thought, you want to fly over.

Then the next moment you find yourself floating.

Or maybe you were thinking that it would be nice to have a bridge.

Then the soil and stones on the surrounding shore will automatically deform and reorganize in the next moment, turning into a bridge.

Or take it a step further and you want the river to disappear.

Then the next moment, the big river disappeared inexplicably!

Of course, this is only a theoretical ideal state, and Mike estimates that he will not be able to reach this level in his life.

But the ability to control the magic power still needs to be practiced. After all, this ability has improved, and it will also increase the power of his spell.

Now that the decisive battle is imminent, he has to make good use of all the spare time to improve his strength a little bit.

And when Mike returned to the dormitory after finishing his day's training, he saw the house-elf Shuke and Winky had already been waiting for him here.

Shiny looked the same as before, but there was a little more fear in the eyes looking at Mike besides respect.

"Master! Winky has already explained everything she knows."

After all, Shuke respectfully handed the veritaserum and a roll of parchment back to Mike.

Looking at the completely unopened Veritaserum, Mike was a little surprised.

He really didn't expect Shuke to be able to make Shining speak without using Veritaserum. Is this because Shuke's interrogation skills are too superb or Shining's loyalty to the Crouch family is far from as high as it seems? ?

Although he thought so in his heart, Mike, who was exhausted after a day of practice, didn't ask, but unfolded the parchment directly.

As expected by Mike, what was recorded above was the story of Crouch and his son's kindness and filial piety.

After little Barty Crouch was imprisoned, old Mrs. Crouch was heartbroken, and forced old Barty to take herself to Azkaban for the reason of visiting her son.

However, they used the civet cat in exchange for the prince. The old Mrs. Crouch took the compound decoction and turned into Little Barty, then committed suicide and died in Azkaban.

And Barty Jr. turned into old Mrs. Crouch and escaped from Azkaban.

Although Old Batty knew and agreed to this matter in advance, he still inevitably hated his son after his wife died.

In addition, little Barty was brainwashed too deeply by Voldemort, and he still did not change his mind after being rescued. Old Barty controlled him with the Imperius Curse and locked him up.

This made Batty Jr.'s already bad mental condition continue to deteriorate, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

Winky, the house-elf who has been taking care of Barty Jr., couldn't stand it anymore, and suggested that Barty Jr. watch his old favorite Quidditch World Cup, promising that it would improve his mental state.

Facts have proved that Batty Sr. still loves his son. Although he repeatedly released the Imperius Curse on Batty Jr. several times before letting Batty Jr. watch the game, he finally let Winky accompany him to watch the game.

It's a pity that due to being controlled by the Imperius Curse for a long time, little Barty has become resistant to the Imperius Curse.

He took advantage of the riots at the Quidditch World Cup to escape!

That's all that's written on the parchment.

And Mike already knew what happened next.

Little Barty couldn't bear the joy of regaining his freedom. Just after he escaped, he picked up a magic wand and released the skeleton to reappear to announce his return.

Then he hid in the dark and chose to continue serving Voldemort.

‘This is really a father’s kindness and son’s filial piety! '

After reading the parchment, Mike sighed deeply, and said to the shivering Shining:

"In the future, you should also go to the headquarters of the Los Santos Group to help the staff there, serve tea and water, etc. I believe the people there will welcome you very much."

Shining bowed gratefully to Mike and then disappeared into the dormitory with Shuke.

...

As time got closer and closer to Christmas, news of the Christmas ball gradually spread, but only then did everyone understand what the dresses they were asked to prepare on the admission notice this year were for.

For this dance party, everyone showed unprecedented enthusiasm.

You must know that this ball is different from the usual Christmas dinners. In this ball, you need to dance with your partner!

For many couples, this is a good opportunity to enhance their relationship, and for those single dogs who long for love, it is an excellent opportunity to get out of the singles!

Everyone started to move, and people could be seen everywhere in Hogwarts inviting others to be their dance partners, as if they were afraid that their partner would be snatched away if they were too late.

The warriors such as Mike are the key invitation objects of others.

Harry, Fleur, and Krum were all single, so they were immediately attacked.

Among them, Fu Rong and Krum received the most invitations. After all, they are tall and handsome men and beautiful women.

And Mike on the other side, although everyone knows that he has been with Penello for a long time, but the number of girls who invited him has not decreased at all. corner.

It's just that they still underestimated the relationship between Mike and Penello.

No matter how hard they tried, Mike's response to them was still declining, which made them very disappointed.

As for Harry, a warrior who is neither high nor low, he received much fewer invitations than the above three.

In this regard, Harry was very happy at the beginning.

After all, although Mike and the others are relatively popular, those fanatical female fans have seriously affected their lives. Klum even hid in Durmstrang’s boat in order to avoid those female fans. It can be seen that sometimes being too popular is not a good thing.

And when facing those rare girls who came to invite him, Harry also chose to decline.

He already has people he wants to invite.

That is Cho Chang.

Harry still remembers that afternoon, he had just finished Quidditch training, and the smell of sweat made him eager to go back and take a shower.

But at this time Qiu Zhang appeared.

She smiled and came over to say hello to him.

Harry couldn't remember anything after that, he only remembered that Qiu Zhang smelled so good, and Qiu Zhang's smile was so beautiful, as soon as he saw her, his heartbeat would suddenly speed up!

Mike has known Qiu Zhang for a long time. As a Gryffindor Seeker, it is necessary to know other team's Seekers.

But he really didn't expect that Qiu Zhang would be so beautiful after taking off his Quidditch equipment!

During that time, even Harry would have Cho Chang's smile in his dreams.

"Perhaps Ron is not the only one who has reached puberty."

Harry muttered, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to the afternoon when he met her. He felt that he fell in love with Qiu Zhang.
