Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Fleur's tangled appearance was not noticed by others, and Gabriel's embarrassing words were also fooled by everyone with the excuse of childish speech. Apart from whispering in the corner, the members of the other three families all got together.

Everyone gathered to chat, and Mrs. Weasley and Black would tell some interesting stories about their study time from time to time, which made everyone laugh.

Furong's mother introduced some daily life and food about France to everyone. These novel things made the little wizards listen very seriously. At the end, Furong's mother invited everyone to visit France if she had the opportunity. entertain.

On the surface, everyone readily agreed to this matter, but in fact they all felt that Fu Rong's mother was just saying polite words.

(Don't read some one-sided self-media articles and think that foreigners don't know how to speak politely. Although they are not as slick as Chinese people in this regard because of the language environment and other reasons, they still speak ordinary socially polite words. Yes. Let’s use an analogy. For example, when people greet you, most of the time they just greet you, and they don’t really mean to ask how you are doing. You only need to answer one fihanks. If You can really embarrass someone by telling them how things are going.)

Among all the people present, only the red-haired young man next to Mrs. Weasley seemed to take it seriously. Mike saw him nodded heavily when Fleur's mother said this.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very warm, but Harry was a little sullen.

At the beginning, he thought that Furong's mother didn't understand English, so he specially repeated her words to say hello to her, but now it seems that her English is quite good.

It made Harry feel like he was being tricked.

But he didn't dare to talk about it face to face, so he could only be sullen all by himself.

Fortunately, Black didn't lose his attention from Harry when he was chatting with everyone. He immediately discovered Harry's problem, and after he was taken aside by Black to enlighten him for a while, Harry's face finally returned when he came back again. There is a smile.

Everyone was talking and laughing in the meeting room all morning, even the Krum family who had been alone in the corner was no exception.

Mike was not surprised by this at all. Krum went to school and participated in the Quidditch World Cup and training. The days of going home must be numbered. The poor Krum couple must have not been reunited with their son for a long time .

At noon, everyone followed their warriors back to the restaurant for dinner.

Black and Mrs. Weasley naturally went to the Gryffindor long table, and the Fleur family sat with Mike and Flitwick. As for the Krum family, they went to the Slytherin long table. The master left a large space for them alone so that they could talk about the past for a while.

The food for lunch was the same as usual. Mike was quite surprised about this. After all, whenever there were guests visiting in the past, their food would always be better. Unexpectedly, the school suddenly became stiff this time.

The atmosphere at the Ravenclaw long table became very heated after the arrival of the three mothers and daughters. Mike, who was worshiped as a treasure in the morning, was ignored by everyone at the moment.

Mike originally thought that everyone's attention would be focused on Fleur and her mother, after all, this pair of mother and daughter is indeed extremely beautiful.

But to Mike's surprise, almost everyone was desperately piling food in front of Gabrielle,

Then after receiving a timid thank you from Gabriel, he collapsed on his seat with an 'awsl' expression.

Mike is also happy to see the success of this. He has long been a little disturbed by the preferential treatment of his classmates. Now that someone has taken the initiative to help him share the firepower, he naturally agrees with both hands.

After enjoying a not-so-rich lunch, Mrs. Weasley, Black and others were going to let Harry take them around Hogwarts. The mother and daughter of Fleur and the Krum family also disappeared. As for Mike, since Professor Flitwick was going to invigilate the exams of senior students in the afternoon, even though he also received the invitation from Black to visit Hogwarts Castle, he returned to his dormitory to recuperate. Getting ready for tonight's game.

It wasn't until dinner that Mike appeared in the restaurant again.

At this moment, some changes have also taken place in the restaurant. Many professors who did not eat in the restaurant in the past have all appeared in the innermost teacher's seat of the restaurant this time.

And in the most conspicuous position on the classroom seats, besides Dumbledore and the principals of the other two magic schools, there are actually two more faces. Among them is the man with a short beard, Mike, who has never seen him before, and the other It was Mike's old acquaintance, Minister of Magic, Fudge.

Unlike the cheerful Fudge who always appeared in front of the public all day long, Fudge who was sitting on the teacher's seat frowned, looking a little sullen.

Ms. Maxim, who was sitting next to Fudge, was also unhappy. Her eyes looked a little red at the moment, and she always looked towards Hagrid from time to time.

Mike immediately smelled the gossip. Ms. Maxim's behavior at the moment is too much like a pregnant girl. If Rita Skeeter is here, the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow will definitely be about these two being lovers reports.

However, Luo Hua intentionally ran water ruthlessly, and Hagrid didn't care about Ms. Maxim's eyes from time to time. He buried himself in eating the food on his plate, but what was different from usual was that the food on his plate But much less than usual.

‘It seems that Hagrid is not in a good mood either, he doesn’t have much appetite now. '

Mike looked at Hagrid's huge plate and thought that although it looked like a small amount of food, it was still enough for two grown men to eat.

At the same time, Mike also noticed that Bagman's favorite seat on the teacher's seat was empty.

Mike searched around for a while before confirming that Bagman was indeed not in the restaurant.

Frowning, he flicked the food on the plate at will, but Mike didn't plan to eat at all. On the one hand, he wanted to maintain a good state to participate in the competition, on the other hand, he really had no appetite.

Bagman's sudden disappearance made him a little distraught.

Penello, who was sitting next to him, thought that Max was nervous because of the upcoming game, so he patted Mike on the shoulder and comforted him softly:

"It's okay Mike, you are very good, and you will definitely be the champion of the Trifinals."

Mike smiled and held Penello's little hand in his palm. He was about to respond, but all the plates and food in front of everyone disappeared.

Then, Dumbledore in the teacher's seat stood up, and he announced with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes I will invite you all to the Quidditch pitch for the last event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, brave men, please follow Mr. Alva to the playing field."

Mike wiped his mouth with the handkerchief Penello handed over, and then walked out of the auditorium with the other three warriors amidst the applause of the Ravenclaw students.

Outside the auditorium, the short-bearded man who was sitting with Fudge was already waiting for them on the steps.

"Hello, I'm Hasen-Alva, you can call me Hasson." Seeing Mike and others coming, Alva said, "I'm replacing Mr. Bagman as the temporary commentator and referee, and I'll be the next one. Come and take everyone to the field."

After finishing speaking, Alva made a gesture of please, then turned his head and was ready to lead the way.

"Is Mr. Bagman sick?" Mike asked suddenly.

And Alva seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question a long time ago, he turned around and smiled politely at Mike, and then said:

"Oh! You guessed it right, Mr. Townley! Mr. Bagman just submitted his resignation letter to the Minister this morning on the grounds that he was ill. But I think he may feel that after that incident he I am no longer qualified to serve as the director of the sports department!"

When he said this, the smile on Alva's face became even brighter. He paused, as if he was sorting out his words, and then said:

"But the work he left behind still needs someone to do it, so as the deputy director, I can only take on this important task!"

After speaking, Mr. Alva immediately raised his head and chest, as if waiting for Mike and others to compliment him.

It's just that he was destined to be disappointed. After getting the answer he wanted, Mike had already passed him to the Quidditch pitch, and Fleur and Krum naturally didn't mean to compliment a Ministry of Magic official. He also followed behind Mike.

In an instant Harry and Mr. Alva were alone on the steps.

Harry looked at Mr. Alva, who was still waiting for praise, and then at Mike and the others who were drifting away. He frowned and thought hard for a while, but he still couldn't find some words of compliment in his mind, and finally He could only give Alva an awkward yet polite smile, and then quickly chased after Mike.

But when the four of Mike and his party came to the Quidditch pitch, it had become completely unrecognizable.

A hedge twenty feet high rounded the edge of the field, and before them there was a gap, which was the entrance to the great labyrinth.

Harry poked his head to look inside, then retracted even faster.

It's dark and scary in here!

Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands, hundreds of students filed in, the air was filled with excited voices and noisy footsteps, and that Mr. Alva finally came to the venue.

He seemed to regard what happened just now as Mike's humiliation to him, and he gave Mike a vicious glance when he passed by Mike and others.

Mike ignored him, and his attention was already attracted by the sky at the moment.

The current time is between sunset and moonrise, and the sky is a clear dark blue, which is very magnificent.

At this time, Hagrid, Moody, McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick walked into the playground and walked towards Mike.

They all had big, shining red stars on their hats, except Hagrid, whose red star was on the back of his terry vest.

"We will patrol outside the maze." Professor McGonagall said, "If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, just shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will have someone to help you. Of course, those who accept help will lose their qualifications to continue the game ,have you understood?"

Mike withdrew his mind and nodded like everyone else.

"Good luck, Mike," whispered Professor Flitwick.

Then the four of them walked away in different directions, scattered around the maze.

At this time, Alvan's loud and clear voice on the podium also sounded at the right time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the last match of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me report the standings in front of me, which will determine the starting order of the warriors. Mike Townley is from Hogwarts Cici School, currently ranked number one!"

Immediately after Alva said Mike's name, there was a burst of earth-shattering applause and cheers in the stands. The sound was so loud that the birds in the Forbidden Forest were startled.

"Victor Krum, from Durmstrang Academy, is currently ranked second!"

The cheers continued. As a Quidditch star, Krum had no fewer fans than Mike.

"Next is Harry Potter, also from Hogwarts School, currently ranked third. Fleur Delacour, from Beauxbaton College, currently ranked fourth!"

Compared with the previous two, Harry and Fleur received much less cheers and applause, which made Harry very disappointed. Although Fleur didn't look different, her clenched fists still betrayed her.

"Now...Mike! Listen to my whistle and get ready to go!" said Alva. "Three-two-one-"

With the sound of a short whistle, Mike swung his wand continuously, and successively added various buff spells such as Wind Speed ​​Curse and Disillusionment Curse to himself. Made a phantom, rushed into the maze at an astonishing speed.

This sudden scene immediately aroused a burst of exclamation in the stands.

Everyone didn't expect that Mike's speed could be so fast. From this point of view, if Mike can keep this speed and don't get lost for too long, the championship is almost guaranteed.

Thinking of this, the Hogwarts students in the stands burst into unprecedented cheers!

The other three warriors at the entrance of the maze all turned black, and Mike's strength put them under considerable pressure.

Inside the maze, Mike was still moving at high speed.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the moon hung above the sky instead of the sun.

Under the moonlight, the tall hedges cast black shadows on the path. Perhaps it was because of the sound insulation magic added here. As soon as Mike entered the maze, the voices of the audience and Alva disappeared.

The surroundings instantly became silent, coupled with the maze made of hedges.

This reminded Mike of a horror movie called The Shining that he had seen in his previous life.

Thinking about it carefully, the situation I am facing at this moment is very similar to the climax of the movie. Everyone is looking for the exit in such a maze made of hedges, and at the same time, they must always be on guard against the danger that may appear at any time ahead.

It's just that the characters in the movie are facing a lunatic murderer, while Mike is facing various magical traps arranged by the event organizer.

However, Mike is not the ordinary people in the movie who have no power to restrain chickens. He is now a wizard who has mastered powerful magic power!

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly laughed.
