Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

"tick-tick-tick-tick..."

The ward of the infirmary was completely silent, except for the sound of the hands moving in the huge clock in the corner, the only sound in the ward was the gasping sound of Umbridge, who was wrapped in a fresh mummy on the bed.

Umbridge's breathing was very gentle, and listen carefully to the slight snoring you can even hear.

"tick~tick~"

The hands of the clock were still walking, and finally, with a clear sound of machine clattering, the thick hands representing the hours suddenly moved and pointed to a big I.

A small door at the top of the clock suddenly opened, and a golden bird made of pure machinery flew out of it, circling over the ward while chirping 'jijiji'.

Umbridge on the hospital bed seemed to be awakened, and she took a deep breath as if she hadn't breathed for a long time.

Her body was shaking slightly, her head was shaking slightly, as if she really wanted to turn her head to look around her.

However, due to her neck immobilizer, her wish to turn her head was never fulfilled, so she could only deflect her eyes with all her might.

Suddenly, a bunch of pure black roses appeared in her peripheral vision.

The thorns on the branches of this bunch of roses have all been removed, and the tool that stripped them all from where they should have been is a dagger on the rosette.

Umbridge's body trembled more and more, and there was even a faint sound of intermittent teeth clashing from his mouth.

The sunlight outside the window shone on her bed through the window, as if someone had sprinkled a lot of gold dust on it, but even so, Umbridge didn't feel any warmth at all.

At this moment, she even felt that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and because of the thick plaster cast on her body, she couldn't wipe the sweat at all, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

After a while, Umbridge's breathing gradually calmed down, and his body trembled much less.

She clearly remembered that after Mag left yesterday, a strong man in a black robe and a strange white mask appeared in her ward!

The masked man said that he wanted to give himself a gift, and then took out a dagger and put it on his neck.

The memory is already blurred here.

Umbridge thought it was just a nightmare at first, but now she really found the dagger!

It's all true!

Umbridge was still taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

At this moment, her brain is operating at a high speed, and she feels as if she has broken through a big secret!

Dumbledore and his staff, they have formed a huge interest group, constantly extracting benefits from all aspects, and training Hogwarts students to become their armed forces.

And when the power has accumulated to a certain level, then they will rush out of Hogwarts with unrivaled momentum and dominate the entire wizarding world! Even the whole of Europe! The whole world!

That's right! It must be so!

The world-famous white wizard Dumbledore, he is the most evil dark wizard! A careerist full of conspiracies!

It must be because their arrival made them uneasy, so they would line up to attack themselves!

What kind of ordinary attack is this!

The attack that night was clearly a deliberate death threat!

I didn't even think about it at first, so later Mag sent someone to threaten him more directly!

Thinking of this, Umbridge felt that his body began to tremble instinctively again, and the fear in his heart could not hold back.

She admitted that she was really scared.

Who is not afraid of death?

She even had the urge to go straight back to the Ministry of Magic, and even being blamed by Fudge for failing a mission was better than dying!

Unfortunately, it is too late to say all this now.

Umbridge felt the cast that bound his body, and a wry smile flashed across his face.

He has lost his freedom and was completely under house arrest, where can he escape back?

Now, I can only cooperate with the actions of those people as much as possible, and hope that the other party will care about his identity as the Deputy Minister of Magic and let him go!

"Crench!"

The door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a student medical volunteer wearing a white robe walked in.

Umbridge was startled by the sound, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost couldn't hold back his voice.

And the female volunteer who came in didn't seem to notice Umbridge's change in demeanor. She only saw a warm smile on her face. She carefully helped Umbridge to re-press the messy quilt, and then gently asked:

"Professor Umbridge, you're finally awake! You haven't had lunch yet. What would you like to eat?"

While speaking, she suddenly found the roses beside Umbridge's bed, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Wow! Roses! Was it from Professor Umbridge, your friend? He's so considerate, he even got the thorns off!"

Umbridge's lips were squirming slightly on the hospital bed. The genial smile on the girl's face seemed so evil to her, and in the face of the girl's inquiries, she knew that Umbridge had to bow her head under the eaves. Qi could only reluctantly replied:

"Um!"

...

At the same time, on the bustling main road of Hogwarts Village, Mike and a group of members of the mutual aid society were walking mightily.

It was the weekend, and it was also the day he and Harry had made an appointment to meet the new members of the cram school.

"Mike, look at that!"

While walking, George suddenly grabbed Mike. The latter looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a shop that was already crowded with people. On the wooden sign on the front of the shop, it was written with golden paint. A line of big characters - Zuoke Joke Shop.

"We're going to open a joke shop much bigger than that one day!"

George gritted his teeth and said, while Fred retorted:

"It's not just big! At that time, there will be more items in our store than there, and the quality is even better!"

"Yeah, you're absolutely right, Fred!"

Looking at the two people who had been beaten with blood, Mike shook his head helplessly, did not answer, but continued to walk forward silently.

He could often hear similar words during this time, and Mike's guess was that George and Fred were not having a good time in Umbridge, and they could only rely on such a little thought to enable him to be able to. Hold on.

Not long after continuing to walk, the Hogsmeade Post Office appeared in front of everyone.

This post office is the information center of the entire Hogsmeade village. It stores a large number of letters that owls have already counted, and the owls are also divided into different grades by various colors. The higher the grade, the owl. The faster the speed, the higher the charges.

It's a pity that the person who manages this post office doesn't seem to have any sense of cleanliness, which leads to bird droppings everywhere in the post office, which is very disgusting.

Everyone turned a bay in front of the Hogsmeade Post Office, entered a small path, and then walked for a while, and a dilapidated two-story tavern appeared in front of everyone.

This tavern is located at the intersection of this path. Mike felt that the owner of this tavern must have been kicked by a donkey, because unlike the main road of Hogsmeade village not far away, there was no one on this path. business should be very bleak.

At the entrance of this small building, there was a tattered wooden signboard with a cut off pig's head painted on it.

"Pig's Head Bar, let's go in."

Following Mike's lead, everyone followed behind him and poured into the bar in a mighty manner.

As soon as he entered the bar, Mike asked about a strong smell of sheep mutton, which made him instinctively cover his nose.

Then he turned his head to observe again, and found that this bar was like a garbage dump compared to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley!

The space inside it is very small, and there are many tables and chairs placed in a mess, which makes the originally small space even smaller.

And the windows inside it are still covered with thick dirt, and the outside light can hardly penetrate, which makes the light in the tavern very dim, even in the daytime, some candles are lit on the rough wooden table for lighting. .

The floor of the tavern was gray. Mike originally thought that it should be compacted mud, but after stepping on it and feeling it himself, he was surprised to find that it was actually piled up on the stone-paved ground. Centuries of Dirt!

Everything here disgusts Mike, you must know that he is a very clean person.

It is said that Hagrid is a frequent visitor here. When Mike and the others were in first grade, he was drinking here when Quirrell used a dragon egg to deceive the secret of the three-headed dog.

For this reason, Mike originally thought that even if the pig's head bar was a little messy, at least there would be a limit, but now it seems that he really overestimated the lower limit of Hagrid's tolerance for the environment!

"What do you want!"

Just as Mike frowned and looked around, a rough voice suddenly came over.

Mike turned his head to look at the bar, and saw a fat uncle with a beard that looked a bit like Dumbledore, staring at him angrily with round eyes, looking at the posture, he seemed to be I am very dissatisfied with the environment where Mike and others dislike the environment here.

Mike instantly remembered the identity of the other party!

Aberforth, Dumbledore's younger brother, is also the owner of this tavern.

But according to the information in the original book, his relationship with Dumbledore was very bad, and the two would quarrel or even fight each other every time they met.

The deep-seated reason Mike is not clear, the original only said that it was because of their little sister, but the specific things were not written in detail.

It is said that the detailed content should be viewed in other materials, but it is a pity that Mike has only read the original.

"Mike, you're finally here!" Harry shouted excitedly, but after seeing the senior students behind him, the surprised smile on Harry's face suddenly froze, "They are..."

It was only at this time that Mike discovered Harry and the others hiding in the corner. He gave Aberforth a deep look, and then said to Harry with a smile:

"They are all my friends. I came along when I heard that I was going to make up lessons for them."

"Really? This is awesome!"

"Now we finally don't have to worry about the embarrassing scene where no one will come... woohoo!~"

Ron's words were only halfway through when Hermione and Harry covered their mouths together, and could only make a whimpering sound.

At this time, George and Fred had already sat down in front of the bar. It was obviously not the first time that they had come. They raised their hands very skillfully and shouted to Aberforth:

"Boss, give us a bottle of butterbeer each! My treat!"

George said that they were so proud. At present, their wealthy secrets have been exposed, so they simply spent a lot of money.

Aberforth in the bar shook his eyebrows and beard violently when he heard the words, and stood there staring at George angrily, as if he was angry that George had increased his workload.

It was not until George's scalp was numb when he was seen that Aberforth possessed himself from the cabinet under the bar and piled two large boxes of butterbeer in front of George:

"All the stock is here for you, 50 bottles, totaling 6 Galleons!"

"What? Do you think we are fools?" Fred shouted, "The butter beer you have here is obviously 2 siks a bottle, 50 bottles is 5 gold Galleons and 15 siks, and the extra 2 sik But where did it come from?"

"Huh!? You don't buy it?"

Aberforth was even more exaggerated than Fred, and there was anger in his voice.

Hearing that, George hurried out to smooth things out.

They are regular customers of this pub, and the reason why they often come to this pub for consumption is because the owner of this pub doesn't care about the 'underage prohibition' at all, as long as you have money here, even if you are just a student He will also sell you wine.

It is also for this reason that the Pig's Head Bar has become an important source of goods on Hogwarts' "drink smuggling network", and almost all the drinks in Hogwarts come from here.

So they didn't seem to be too stiff with the boss, and at the same time they didn't care about Aberforth's forced buying and selling.

Because the excess wine here can be transported back to Hogwarts to buy slowly, what is the high price? They can also increase the price after they go back!

In the end, under the deliberate flattery of George, Aberforth finally gave Fred two full cases of Butterbeer.

Then Fred skillfully opened the box and distributed the wine inside to everyone present.

Mike was also given a bottle of Butterbeer, but he had no intention of drinking it.

There is no other reason, it is too dirty!

His brows had been knit together since Aberforth took out all the butterbeer.

The two large wooden boxes had been covered with dust and dirt, and their original colors could not be seen at all.

The butterbeer taken out from the inside is similar. The place on the bottle that should have been covered with the trademark pattern has been blurred, and a lot of grease and dust are attached to the surface of the glass bottle, which makes the whole wine bottle look terrible. Very suspicious that these butter beers are expired!

For such unclean things, unless absolutely necessary, Mike will never eat it!
