Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Professor Flitwick came back during dinner, carrying a long, long object tightly wrapped in oil paper on his shoulder. Judging from the shape, it should be a broom.

Upon seeing this, Lolo hurriedly stepped forward to help the owner carry the luggage, but was shooed away by Professor Flitwick.

Luo Luo ignored him and thought he had done something wrong again. He was banging his head on the floor to punish himself. He walked into the living room with the package and shouted loudly: "Mike! Come and see what I have given you." What did you bring?"

"Is this... a broomstick?"

Mike looked in disbelief at Professor Flitwick, who was carrying the long broom-like package in front of him.

"Wow, what a smart kid. This is the latest Nimbus 2001, a belated birthday gift for you. I'm so sorry, kid. I actually forgot that it was your birthday the day before yesterday. I'm going to Hogwarts today to be busy with the freshman year. I just suddenly remembered about the enrollment." Professor Flitwick said apologetically, "It has the latest anti-magic coating on it, and it can't even be stuffed into the Seamless Stretch Spell bag. This thing is really heavy. Come here quickly. Hold it for me."

After hearing this, Mike quickly stepped forward and took the broom from Professor Flitwick's shoulder. As soon as he took it, Mike felt that this broom was far heavier than other flying broomsticks. He then looked at Professor Flitwick, who was rubbing his shoulder. , a sense of sadness rushed up to his nose.

How many years have you not celebrated your birthday? ten years? Twenty years?

I remember the last birthday gift I received was a paper airplane made by little Jimmy in a craft class. Although the so-called birthday was just a random date that Mike reported, as an orphan, he didn't know his birth date at all.

Although Jimmy later asked him for a remote control plane with a wingspan of three meters as a gift in return. But Mike was still very touched. After all, this paper airplane represented that little Jimmy still had his father in his heart.

Mike knelt down and hugged Flitwick, saying thank you choked with sobs.

His move shocked Flitwick, and he hurriedly comforted him: "Why are you still crying? Do you not like this gift? No, don't all little wizards like flying broomsticks nowadays?"

After all, Mike has the soul of an adult, and he quickly recovers from his emotional outburst.

"I like it very much. This is the best gift I have ever received." Mike raised the broom. "Next year I will join the Quidditch school team and use this broom to win honor for Ravenclaw."

"Oh? Are you so confident? Then I'll wait, hahaha!" Flitwick joked.

The house elf Lolo on the side no longer banged his head against the floor, but looked at the two people chatting with a pleading look.

“Since the arrival of the distinguished guest, the host’s meal times are no longer punctual, and it’s all the guest’s fault.

oh! No! Luoluo is such a bad elf, he actually speaks ill of the guests behind their backs, damn it! Damn it! "After that, he started to strangle himself with the curtain on the side.

Catching the movements of the house elf Lolo with his peripheral vision, Mike hurriedly invited Professor Flitwick to the restaurant for dinner. He estimated that if they stayed inked for a while, Lolo might be able to strangle him to death.

As soon as Luoluo on the side heard the master and respected guests saying that it was time to eat, he immediately loosened the curtains around his neck, wiped the tears from his face, and went to decorate the restaurant happily.

With a snap of Luoluo's fingers, a sumptuous dinner appeared in front of the two of them.

While eating, Mike began to test Professor Flitwick.

"Have you ever heard of the secret passage or chamber in the Ravenclaw common room?"

"Huh? Who did you listen to?"

"Fred and George, they told me before they went on vacation. They said they saw it on a map."

Professor Flitwick was a little surprised at first, but he laughed when he heard it was the Weasley brothers who said it.

"Then they must be deceiving you. I have worked at Hogwarts for decades, and I never knew there were any secret passages in Ravenclaw. There are indeed many secret passages in Hogwarts, but the rest of the four major colleges There is absolutely no way there is a secret passage in the chamber, at least as far as I know there is none." Professor Flitwick said confidently.

"Really? Isn't it true that as long as you recite a spell in front of Ms. Ravenclaw's statue, or hold some token, a light door will open, and through this light door you will see Ravenclaw's treasures. ?”

"Is that what the Weasley brothers told you?"

Mike nodded.

"I think you may have been tricked by them, Mike." Professor Flitwick stuffed a piece of cut steak into his mouth and muttered, "You must not have studied the history of magic well.

The founders of the four major colleges, except Slytherin who is said to have built a secret room in Hogwarts to hide his treasures, the other three founders have left all their wealth and knowledge to their descendants. Absolutely There can't be any treasure. "

Mike's heart sank when he heard Professor Flitwick's words, and the emotion he had just felt because of Flitwick's birthday gift also disappeared.

The claw marks on his face were given by the raven statue used by Raven's Nest for initiation testing. That statue has been in the hands of Raven's Nest for thousands of years, and countless wizards have been tested and admitted by it.

According to the images he saw in his dreams, he was not the only lucky one. Mike was almost certain that there must be information about claw marks and light doors in the Raven's Nest.

However, Professor Flitwick, who has been a member of Raven's Nest for more than thirty years and is the Headmaster of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts, and whose position in the society is definitely not too low, actually has no idea about the light door. Don’t know everything?

Mike smelled danger.

Either Raven's Nest really didn't know about the light door on Lady Ravenclaw's statue or it knew about it but didn't tell Professor Flitwick. Either Professor Flitwick is hiding something from himself.

The probability of the former is not impossible, but it is very low.

People with dark hearts will naturally imagine others to be the same as themselves, and Mike almost instinctively chose to believe the latter.

Thinking about it carefully, Professor Flitwick's behavior is indeed very strange. I am just a mudblood with outstanding talent. Why do people treat me so well?

The Greed Pendant was one of Ms. Ravenclaw's relics, but Professor Flitwick gave it to Mike, who had only known him for a few months. If it were Mike, he wouldn't be able to be so selfless.

Mike felt that a giant beast named Conspiracy was approaching him, waiting for him to step into a trap and then eat him in one bite.

At this moment, the joyful atmosphere at the dinner table continues, as Mike and Professor Flitwick are still enjoying the exquisite food made by Lolo.

Luoluo stood beside the dining table, ready to serve the two of them at any time.

PS: I would like to recommend the novel "Dungeon Player" by Blue and White Boss. Blue and White Boss is a veteran author, and his writing style and imagination are not comparable to that of a little kid like me. "Dungeon Player" even created the legend of the first order of 14,000. It is an anti-routine novel by the master behind the scenes. It currently has 440,000 words, which is very fat. All readers are welcome to visit.
