Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 112 Celebration Dinner
Mike and Penello walked into the auditorium together. At this time, the auditorium was already full of people, and the little wizards who had been suppressed for a long time were venting their pent-up emotions in the past few days.

In addition to the long tables of the four colleges, there is another long table in the auditorium, which is prepared for the Aurors. After Dumbledore's enthusiasm, these Aurors decided to stay in Hogwarts for a dinner Walk.

Abt, who was on the long table, was keeping an eye on the door. Seeing that Mike and Penello finally appeared, he stood up and waved to Mike, motioning him to sit by his side.

Mike also noticed Abbott, and took Penelope to sit next to Abbott calmly.

Abbott was not the only one who noticed Mike's arrival, Harry and Ron also noticed.

"Look, it's Mike! He came with Senior Sister Penello, and it looks like the two of them should be done." Harry said excitedly, pulling Ron aside.

Ron was gnawing on a roast chicken when he was suddenly pulled by Harry, almost dropping the chicken in his hand.After finally holding the chicken firmly again, he said with a bitter face, "That's really too bad."

"What are you talking about? Mike is our friend!" Harry said angrily, "and he is not only superb in strength, but also willing to help others. You also know that he helped that Hufflepuff get ahead. Let me tell you, He and Senior Penello are a perfect match."

As soon as Harry said this, Ron quickly covered Harry's mouth with his greasy hand, and with the other hand stretched out his index finger in front of his mouth and made a silent gesture: "Shh! You whisper Point, don't let Percy hear. I don't mean that Mike and Penelope-senpai are not compatible, but Percy is also pursuing Penelope-senpai. I just feel sorry for Percy. Although he always Prudish, but he's still my brother, so you get the idea."

While talking, Ron sneaked a glance at Percy, who was sitting not far from them. Seeing that he was eating steak with a knife and fork, he was relieved and let go of Harry's hand. oily hands.

But what Ron didn't notice was that Percy's hands holding the knife and fork had begun to turn white due to excessive force. Obviously, his heart was not as calm as he showed.

Going back to Mike, Abt was a little surprised that Mike came with Penello, but he quickly covered it up, and continued to talk to Mike and Penello with a smiling face.

Abbott, who has received very strict interpersonal communication training, is obviously a good wingman. During the conversation, he kept bragging about Mike's role in the Basilisk battle, but he didn't brag like Ron It was too much, and after the story was told, Penello looked at Mike with a little more admiration in his eyes.

When Penelope went to the bathroom, Abt whispered to Mike: "I didn't expect you to be with Penelope. I really underestimated you. Merlin, you are only 12 years old ah."

Mike smiled shyly at Abbott, didn't explain anything, and continued to eat the steak on the plate.I don't know whether it's because of eating dry bread for too long or because the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen have exploded in their cooking skills. The food in this banquet is very delicious.

Seeing that Mike didn't answer, Abt knew that Mike didn't want to talk about this topic, so he said: "Speaking of business, my father is also here this time, and you weren't there when he was speaking on stage just now, but he still came looking for you. After the banquet is over, you have to go see him with me."

This time Mike finally put down the knife and fork in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Your father, why is he here?"

"Please! His son almost died this time. As a father, of course he has to come and see me." Abt said with an exaggerated expression, "In addition, he is also here to reward the team members of this snake removal operation. The operation went very smoothly, and the basilisk was eliminated in only one day, and the Ministry of Magic is very satisfied."

Hearing this, Mike understood that Uncle Mario may have come to him to thank him specifically, and as for rewarding the Auror players, it was most likely by the way.Looking up at the teacher's dining table on the stage, the enthusiastic Uncle Mario was indeed there, talking happily with Professor Flitwick at this time.

At this time, Penello also walked into the auditorium. Looking at Penello who was gradually approaching, Mike nodded secretly towards Abbott, indicating that he knew.

Abbott also noticed Penello, saw Mike nodding with a smile on his face again, and started a new round of wingman career.

In the humorous conversation between Abbott and the microphone, time passed quickly, and soon the food on the table became the final dessert, which also meant that the dinner was drawing to a close.

Dumbledore walked to the podium and tapped a golden cup with a spoon, making a crisp sound.The little wizards were all attracted by the sound, stopped what they were doing, and looked towards the podium.

"At the end of the dinner, I still have something to say to everyone. Please bear with me, an old man." Dumbledore said when everyone fell silent, "Not long ago, we went through a difficult period. Days. Fortunately, you are all good boys, even in the face of threats to your life, you still have full confidence in Hogwarts. Thanks to everyone's unity, we finally won the final victory!"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the entire auditorium erupted in deafening applause.

Dumbledore put his hands up, beckoning everyone to be quiet, and continued after the scene quieted down: "Today, the first thing I want to thank here is the three members of the temporary management team who died heroically this time. They are Gryffindor Baker with Joschel and Richard with Ravenclaw.

In order to commend them for their contribution to Hogwarts, I discussed with the professors and unanimously decided to award them the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award, and at the same time add 100 points to each of them!
In addition, in this snake removal operation, Mr. Mike Townley of Ravenclaw performed very well, hereby add 100 points to Mr. Townley!Now, I declare that the dinner party is officially over. "

Amidst the warm applause, the students in the auditorium began to leave the auditorium under the leadership of the prefects. The little wizards were obviously very satisfied with the banquet, and all of them hiccupped with their swollen bellies.

After Mike sent Penello back first, he and Abt came to an office next to the auditorium.

"Mike! I'm here." Uncle Mario warmly gave Mike a hug, "Thank you so much this time, if something happens to Abt, I really don't know what to do."

"It's just a matter of little effort, Uncle Mario. I'm friends with Abt, and I can't just watch him die in Shekou like this."

"You're right, I'm being polite." Uncle Mario touched the corner of his eyes and said, "Don't worry, you will be the best friend of our Forli family from now on. No matter what difficulties you have, we will try our best to help you .”

Uncle Mario's words are very similar to Abt, as expected of a father and son.But he was still much more sophisticated than Abbott, and he made a clear promise to Mike so that Mike would not be dissatisfied with them.

Mike did not continue to push back, but thanked Uncle Mario.It is a virtue to give in once, but to give in all the time is pretending to be coercive.

Uncle Mario was obviously relieved to see that Mike didn't continue to give way, and changed the subject and began to praise Mike's performance in this operation.

It wasn't until Mike started to yawn that Uncle Mario took Abbot to say goodbye to Mike.
