Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Looking at the petrified Penelomac, he felt that his lungs were about to explode with anger. He gave many instructions, but he didn't expect that something happened in the end.

"Isn't she dead?"

"No way? Shouldn't you fall down if you die?"

People around were talking about it.

Penello's face did not look too horrified. On the contrary, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked very good.

The strange thing is that Penello is not wearing a Hogwarts uniform or pajamas, but a thick khaki windbreaker and a pair of black trousers.

Mike pulled out the letter from Penello's hand. To his surprise, the signature on the letter was Mike Townley. Judging from the content of the letter, it should be an invitation to Penello. A love letter for a date in the middle of the night.

Now Mike understood everything. Someone had asked Penelo out in his own name. No wonder Penelo was dressed like this. It seemed like she had dressed up carefully before going out and was looking forward to the date.

There was also a line of words written in blood on the wall behind Penello: The secret room has been opened. Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir.

Most of the surrounding students' attention was focused on the row of red words, and most of them looked confused. However, the few senior pure-blood students present were proudly telling others about the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.

The young Muggle-born wizards listened with interest at first, but their expressions suddenly changed when they heard that the monster in the secret room would kill mudbloods.

An atmosphere of panic quickly spread among the crowd.

"Quiet!" Mike saw this and began to maintain order. "Go and notify Dean Flitwick. Also, who was the first to discover Penelo?"

Mike still had some prestige within Ravenclaw, and as soon as he gave the order, several people rushed to Professor Flitwick's office. And a blond girl with a pockmarked face came out obediently, indicating that she was the first person to discover Penello.

Under Mike's maintenance, the order at the scene was finally restored to normal, and Professor Flitwick quickly rushed over, along with Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

Mike walked up to the girl with the pockmarked face, told the story in full, and finally handed over the letter.

Dumbledore looked at the melon-eating crowd that was gathering at the scene. He took out his elder wand and waved the bloody words on the wall before they disappeared. At the same time, he said: "Filius, you send Penello first." Let's go to the infirmary and maintain order by the way. Mike, you and the lady come with me, I need you to cooperate in the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Professor Flitwick immediately ordered the other belated prefects to disperse the students present, and at the same time he took Penello to the infirmary. Before leaving, he patted Mike's arm to encourage him. He was very satisfied with the way Mike handled it today. As for whether Mike would be the murderer, he didn't doubt it at all.

Mike nodded to Professor Flitwick and followed Dumbledore to the principal's office.

No one spoke on the way, and the situation was very awkward. The girl with a pockmarked face was so nervous that she was sweating.

Mike, on the other hand, was so happy that he entered a closed-brain state after brewing for a long time. According to today's posture, Dumbledore is very likely to use Legilimency on himself. Although Mike is indeed not the murderer of this attack, his own brain contains the big secret of being a reborn person. Who can guarantee that Dumbledore Lido won't find out.

After following Dumbledore all the way to the principal's office, Dumbledore said: "Everyone, sit down. Do you want some cockroaches? You know sweets are the best way to relieve tension."

The pockmarked girl looked at the cockroach that was still crawling in front of her and shook her head like a rattle.

The reactions of Mike and Snape were very similar. They were both expressionless, their eyes were empty and deep, and they were completely indifferent to what Dumbledore said.

"I have a general understanding of what happened, but I still want to make sure." Dumbledore was not angry when everyone refused, and continued, "This letter written with a magic automatic shorthand pen was sent by you to Penello. Yes? Mike."

"It wasn't from me, Dumbledore..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, Snape interrupted: "He lied!"

Mike looked at the expressionless Snape and knew in his heart that he had seen that he was in a closed-brained state.

Mike's Occlumency is far from master level, so he can't hide it from Snape, a master of Occlumency.

However, Mike had no intention of hiding it from them. Although the suspicion on himself would be much greater, it was nothing compared to the secrets in his mind.

"I believe that Headmaster Dumbledore, who is aware of everything, will definitely make the right decision, Professor Snape."

Mike, who was in a closed-brained state, responded to Snape's questioning without any hesitation, ignoring the cold aura emanating from him.

Snape stared at Mike for a while and found that Mike's expression did not change at all and then ignored him.

"This is a serious matter, Dumbledore." Snape said to Dumbledore. "I suggest that Mac be interrogated using unconventional means. I can provide truth serum if necessary."

Just as Dumbledore was about to say something, someone suddenly burst into the principal's office.

"Snape! You actually want to use Veritaserum on my student! Do you want him to become a fool?" Professor Flitwick suddenly appeared and stared at Snape with a pair of bloodshot eyes. .

When faced with Flitwick's questioning, Snape's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't discern anything. He just looked at Flitwick silently.

Professor Flitwick, who was only a little over one meter tall, erupted with a brutal aura that was extremely inconsistent with his short stature, giving the impression that he was like a hungry tiger that could choose to devour anyone at any time.

The girl with a pockmarked face beside her was already so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Professor Flitwick's current appearance was completely inconsistent with the kind and kind image he had in the past, smiling at everyone. She didn't remember until now that Professor Flitwick was once a dueling champion.

Seeing the two people who were about to fight at any time, Dumbledore said in a conciliatory voice: "Filius, Severus just wanted to scare little Mac, there was no harm in it."

"Scare? Are you kidding?" Professor Flitwick roared, "Everyone knows that the Chamber of Secrets refers to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! If you ask me, the real murderer must be a Slytherin! We should give Slytherin House All students drink veritaserum!”

Dumbledore looked at the furious Flitwick and knew that he might not be able to ask anything today.

"Well, I also believe that Little Mac would not do such a thing. After all, he only left the letter at the scene after the attack. The smell of frame-up is too strong," Dumbledore said. .

Flitwick looked much better when he saw Dumbledore starting to take the initiative to defend Mike.

"That's it for today. The top priority now is to cure Miss Penello. You have to follow up on this, Filius." Dumbledore continued, "Severus stays, and the others will go first." Let's go. I still have some things I need to talk to him about alone."

PS: Just kidding, I won’t change. Don’t you understand that my silver sword part is so obvious?
