Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

On the edge of the black lake, a large group of people in black robes gathered together, and they watched the ghost ship that was constantly roaring in the lake.

It's been a week since that terrible night, but the memory of that night is forever etched in everyone's minds.

Because, that night, they lost a rising Quidditch star.

Victor Krum.

The big boy who was hot on the outside and hot on the inside left his friends and relatives forever.

Mike was also in the line to see off Durmstrang and Krum.

He wasn't there when Krum was sent out, so he couldn't imagine how Krum's parents would react.

But presumably, when Krum's broken body appeared in front of them, their hearts must be desperate.

This can be seen in Krum's father's hair that turned white overnight.

"I'm sorry about Krum, Sinak."

At the front of the crowd, Dumbledore spoke to an old man with a scar on his face.

The old man named Sinak came from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry overnight after the incident and was responsible for bringing all the students, including Krum's body, back to the school safely.

As for Karkaroff, the original teacher and principal who led the team, he disappeared immediately after the incident.

And his disappearance has also put him on the back of a wanted warrant.

This is not surprising. The events of the Triwizard Tournament were all pushed to the Death Eaters by the Ministry of Magic, and Karkaroff, as a former Death Eater, evaporated in the first place after the incident. Naturally became the prime suspect.

But only a few people, including Mike, knew that Karkaroff had nothing to do with this incident. The reason why he disappeared was entirely because he felt Voldemort's resurrection through the Death Eater mark on his arm. She hid out of fear.

However, Mike naturally would not say this.

Even if he said it, Fudge wouldn't believe it, because Fudge had been going crazy for a while.

In order to convince Dumbledore to deny the fact that Voldemort had been resurrected, he ran to the headmaster's office almost every day, but every time he came back without success.

He even went to Mike specifically, hoping that Mike, the party involved, would be on his side, and promised to give Mike his great reputation and more preferential policies for the Los Santos Magic Group.

However, these were rejected by Mike without hesitation.

In Mike's view, these benefits given by Fudge are just empty promises, because although Fudge looks the same today, with the return of Voldemort, he is not far from stepping down.

Therefore, there is no need for Mike to be hypocritical.

In the face of Mike's rude refusal, Fudge was extremely angry. Mike believed that if the place where they were talking was not in the crowded Ravenclaw lounge, Fudge would definitely swear.

That day, Fudge left Hogwarts with a gloomy face, and has never come back since.

And in the days that followed, he continued to use his power to attack Dumbledore and Mike.

Of course, that's all for later.

On the shore of Black Lake at this moment, the old man named Sinac did not say anything in the face of Dumbledore's apology.

Just nodded expressionlessly, and then walked towards the ghost ship.

As he passed through the crowd of people who came to see off at Hogwarts, he also gave Harry a meaningful look, which made Harry very uncomfortable.

Due to previous reports by Rita Skeeter of his complicated relationship with Hermione and Krum, many believed that Krum died in the labyrinth solely because Harry was trying to retake Hermione. Love moved hands and feet.

Although Dumbledore and many professors have already issued a statement to refute the rumor, the students represented by Malfoy who did not deal with Harry are obviously more willing to believe the previous version of the story.

These people kept spreading the news to others, which made more and more people in the school look at Harry strangely, and even some tabloids outside the school began to report on this matter.

Fortunately, Krum's parents are not unreasonable people.

They ignored the rumors from the outside world and silently accepted that their son died unexpectedly.

They even went to comfort Harry when the rumors intensified, which moved Harry very much.

As the other protagonist in this rumored incident, Hermione was not so lucky.

Her original popularity was not very good, and after this incident, she was resisted by all the students at Hogwarts. Now no one wants to approach her at all, and three meters around her have become a vacuum. Everyone sees her as a calamity, a source of disaster.

Hermione herself was naturally very painful. Although she was used to being alone, the cold violence that was ignored by almost everyone still made her uncomfortable.

Ron was much happier by comparison.

Since Hermione became Krum's dance partner on Christmas, he has gone from Krum's number one fan to the most vicious black fan. He would kiss his Indian girlfriend in front of Hermione every day as if showing off.

Hermione hated Ron's actions, and tried to avoid Ron every time. Unfortunately, Ron was like a hound, always able to find Hermione's trail and perform that scene again in front of her. Disgusting scene.

Shaking his head to shake off the random thoughts in his mind, Mike sighed deeply as he watched the ghost ship gradually disappearing on the lake.

In fact, he was very responsible for Krum's death. If he could have taken some protective measures at that time, or stayed in place for a while, Krum might not have died.

But there was nothing he could do, and the circumstances did not allow him to do more for Krum.

"Don't be too sad, Krum's death was just an accident."

Penello's gentle voice came from beside him, Mike turned his head to look, and saw Penello looking at him with a distressed expression.

Mike didn't answer, just nodded and smiled back.

Mike's smile was a little reluctant, which made Penello even more worried, because Mike has been so sullen and serious all week.

The Weasley brothers on the side glanced at each other, and the two of them rolled their eyes and then came to an idea.

I saw that they took the somewhat inexplicable Harry to Mike's side, and said with a hippie smile:

"Hey! Mike! We're going to see Hagrid later, how about you go with us?"

"That's right! Mike! Harry would like to go with you. Right Harry?"

"what?"

Hearing that Harry's mouth grew wide and his face was full of doubts, but seeing that the Weasley brothers were winking at him frantically, he immediately reacted and said:

"That's right, Mike! Come with us, it's spring now, and you'll get sick all the time in the castle!"

"I……"

Mike just wanted to refuse, and he still has a lot of preparations to do in the face of Voldemort's resurrection.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the Weasley brothers held him from left to right, dragging him towards the Forbidden Forest while saying:

"Come on, come on, what you need now is to relax!"

Knowing that they were well-intentioned, although Mike's current physical fitness could completely break free from the drag of the two, he didn't do it.

Mike just smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll go, let me go."

The Weasley brothers smiled at each other and let go of Mike.

As a result, the four of them rushed to Hagrid's hut. As for Penello, she returned to the dormitory to rest because she was visiting relatives.

It can be said that Hagrid was unlucky during this time. On the night of the Triwizard Tournament, Little Barty sneaked into Hagrid's hut and knocked him down while Hagrid was changing his clothes.

Because of Hagrid's large size and giant blood, Barty Jr. killed him.

According to the descriptions of the students who discovered Hagrid, Hagrid's blood was everywhere at the time, and the floor of the entire cabin was full of semi-coagulated blood plasma. They almost thought Hagrid was dead, because in their concept there was no one. To survive after so much blood.

Fortunately, Barty still underestimated Hagrid's physique, and the people sent by Professor McGonagall found Hagrid and took him back to the infirmary at the first time, otherwise the half-giant might really die on the spot. .

Today was Hagrid's discharge day, so Harry and the others decided to take a good look at him.

But when everyone came to Hagrid's hut, they saw an astonishing scene.

I saw Hagrid, who was still wrapped in a lot of bandages, lying on the bed like a mummy, and beside the bed, Ms. Maxim, wearing a silk black dress, was holding a large bowl and used a spoon to reach Hagrid's mouth. what's in there.

The Weasley brothers were stunned to see this. They slammed their right hands into their mouths, as if to stop their mouths from laughing.

And Ms. Maxim was also startled when she saw Mike and the others suddenly coming. With a light sound, she saw the wooden spoon slip from her hand, and a red glow flew onto her cheek.

"I... I just came to see him." Maxim hurriedly stood up, rubbing his hands on his gorgeous silk skirt, "Don't get me wrong!"

After saying that, he ran away as if to leave the hut.

"We won't get it wrong! Madame Maxime!"

The Weasley brothers said in unison, but where she couldn't see them, they were giving Hagrid a weird thumbs-up.

Because of the large number of bandages on his face, Mike couldn't see the expression on Hagrid's face, but judging from the weird laughter that came from his mouth from time to time, he should be in a pretty good mood at the moment.

"Seriously, don't talk nonsense when you go back." After laughing for a while, a dull voice came from Hagrid's mouth again, "Otherwise Olim will be very troubled."

"Oh! Don't you know us yet? Don't worry Hagrid."

"That's it! But then again, have you started calling Ms. Maxime by Olim? There really is your Hagrid!"

Hearing that, Hagrid stopped talking immediately, and muttered something like "I'm worried because it's you."

Of course, the low voice here was just what Hagrid thought it was. In fact, with Hagrid's loud voice, everyone in the cabin could hear it clearly.

For a while, everyone in the hut burst into laughter.

After a while Hermione came, so the Weasley brothers told Hermione what had happened just now.

This shocked Hermione, but also annoyed Hagrid. He had warned the Weasley brothers to keep it a secret, but they agreed on the front and told Hermione on the back.

"Where's Ron?" After laughing for a while, Hagrid looked around the hut and asked strangely, "Why didn't this kid come?"

"Heh! He's still gnawing on Padma's face!" Hermione said with a retching look. "That's disgusting!"

"Oh! That's really...excessive."

Hagrid said a little disappointedly, and he didn't know whether he was talking about whether Ron was too intimate with his girlfriend in front of Hermione or that it was too much not to visit him.

And his speech embarrassed the Weasley brothers.

"I'm sorry, Hagrid, Hermione. We'll talk to him when we get back." George scratched his head in embarrassment, and Fred continued with a fierce look, "Yes, have a good talk! "

Hermione nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She was disgusted by Ron during this time, and Harry on the side looked worried.

The group chatted for a while before Mike found an excuse to walk out of Hagrid's hut.

Mike, who left the hut, didn't go back to the castle directly. He was too tight during this time, and he really needed to relax.

So Mike took a walk on the edge of the forbidden forest. Due to the arrival of spring, a thick grass carpet was re-covered here, which was very comfortable to step on.

Not long after Mike walked out, he saw two silver-haired girls, one big and one small, playing with a unicorn shining with holy brilliance on the edge of a small lake not far away.

This dream-like perfect scene made Mike couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Mike felt like he could stand here and watch all day if he could.

It's a pity that the unicorn's perception is very sharp, and it didn't take long for it to find Mike who was peeping on the side, and pointed the unicorn at him vigilantly.

This time, the two sisters of Furong also discovered Mike, but their reaction was different from that of Mike. I saw Furong's sister Gabriel jumped towards Mike with a cheer, and finally threw herself into Mike's arms.

"Big brother, are you here to see us?"

This made Mike frown, and he asked strangely:

"Huh? Are you leaving?"

"That's right, we're leaving tonight." Furong walked over with a smile, "I originally wanted to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Mike was stunned for a moment, and Gabriel in his arms was also very witty, and broke free from Mike's arms at once, leaving the two-person world to Mike and Fleur, while he ran towards the unicorn again.

It's a pity that unicorns only get close to pure and beautiful *girls. Gabriel just hugged Mike, this stinky man, and brought some of Mike's 'smells' on him, which made unicorns no longer willing to continue playing with her. , turned around and ran into the forbidden forest.

"I want to thank you, Mike. I had a great time at Hogwarts, even though I didn't achieve anything in the Triwizard Cup."

Hearing that Mike lowered his head slightly, he didn't know how to respond.

Furong's performance in the top three cups this time was indeed poor. In the last game, she was forced to use a distress signal by an exploding snail not long after she entered.

When Furong saw Mike like this, she chuckled and said:

"Don't feel bad for me, I was terrible, but at least I survived. That's enough, I was horrified when Krum was sent out."

Mike nodded, what Furong said was right, for people, only by living can there be hope and future.

He was just about to say something to comfort Furong, but before he could even open his mouth, he threw himself into his arms.

"I'm leaving, good luck."

The girl said that, her voice still trembling.

Mike also put a smile on his face, patted the girl on the back, and blessed:

"Well, good luck to you too!"
