Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 113 Lockhart's Invitation

The next day, as if it indicated that the cloud brought by the basilisk to Hogwarts had dissipated, the long-lost sunshine once again shone on Hogwarts Castle.

Mike got off the bed in good spirits, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and the owls flying by from time to time, and stretched long.

He found that he was actually a very nostalgic person. He had been running outside for a while and had no chance to return to his dormitory. He lay back in his little bed last night and fell asleep immediately, even the daily brain blockade. No training was done.

After making his own bed, Mike walked out of the bedroom.

Everyone who came to greet Mike with a smile on his face. As the only one alive among the four people who were rewarded by Dumbledore at the end of last night's dinner, Mike won the respect of all Ravenclaws, let alone He also scored 100 points for Ravenclaw, making the jewel in the Ravenclaw hourglass now on par with Gryffindor, ahead of Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

Normally Mike would have avoided these annoying flies, but today he was in a particularly good mood, even saying hello to those classmates one by one.

The students became more enthusiastic when they saw Mike like this. One girl even wanted to hug Mike.Fortunately, Franklin arrived in time with a group of Ravenclaw students of Muggle descent, and dragged away the girl who weighed at least two hundred pounds.

Since Mike helped that Hufflepuff student in the auditorium last time, many students of Muggle descent in Hogwarts have become loyal fans of Mike, and even established a Mike club, while Franklin As Mike's number one buddy (self-proclaimed), he should have become the club's minister.

"Mike, we should go. If we don't go to class, we will be late." Franklin said to Mike.

The smile on Mike's face remained undiminished, and he waved to the students who were blocked by the "Mike Club members". After a burst of cheers, he followed Franklin to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

When the two came to the classroom, they hadn't attended class yet, and there weren't many people in the classroom. They were eating the sandwich Franklin brought him, and Mike said, "How do you feel recently?"

"It's not bad, after sticking to your light, I can be regarded as half a famous person now." Franklin replied with his legs crossed, "You haven't seen it, and some girls even send me love letters. Omg, do I see Does it look stupid? Those bichi can tell they are coming for you."

Before Mike could reply, Lockhart walked into the classroom, and the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class after the Basilisk incident officially began.Mike stuffed the last small piece of the sandwich into his mouth, and watched with great interest as Lockhart on the stage began to tell the story in his novel.

Mike has never read Lockhart's novels. He knew that Lockhart was an incompetent memory thief before, so he didn't bother to read them. But today he was in a good mood, and he discovered Lockhart's novels while listening to Lockhart's lecture. The stories are quite attractive.

In all fairness, Lockhart is indeed a good novelist. Whether it is the rhythm of the plot or the explosiveness, Lockhart handles it very well. It is not unreasonable for him to be successful.

Lockhart on the stage had also been paying attention to the reaction of Mike, a newcomer to Hogwarts, seeing that Mike listened with gusto, so he spoke more vigorously.

But he didn't get carried away and asked Mike to come on stage to act out the plot in the novel, because he already knew why he was beaten up in the Ravenclaw lounge according to the investigation. He didn't think it was just a coincidence, he thought it was It's all Mike's revenge on himself.Mike is not like Harry Potter, he can rely on his status as a professor to make him cooperate with him.If Mike is made to make a fool of himself in public, Lockhart believes that Mike will definitely treat him in his own way.

So in this harmonious and happy atmosphere, Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended like this.

Mike hummed a little tune and got up to leave the classroom to go to the auditorium for dinner. The dinner was just finished yesterday, and the lunch today must be very rich.

"Hey, Mike. Can I spare you a little time?" Lockhart suddenly appeared in front of Mike rubbing his hands, "Can you come to my office after class in the afternoon? I have something I want to discuss with you."

Looking at Lockhart's oily face nourished by various skin care products, the smile on Mike's face slowly disappeared, and he said, "What's the matter, Professor Lockhart, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, no, no! You misunderstood. It is definitely a good thing for me to find you this time. It's just not convenient to talk about it here. Don't worry." Lockhart hurriedly explained when he saw that Mike had misunderstood.

Seeing Lockhart's strange attitude, Mike became vigilant.The heir of Slytherin hadn't been caught yet, so Belohart was the heir, right?This time I asked myself to go to his office to plan to kill myself?

Mike thought for a moment and then shook his head. Lockhart had no motive for doing so.Judging from the heir's actions, he was very targeted at Mike from the very beginning. From this point, it can be concluded that the heir must be Mike's enemy.But Mike and Lockhart didn't have any major enmity.

But even though the possibility of Lockhart being the heir is very small, it doesn't mean that he is completely free of suspicion.Lockhart's office is absolutely forbidden. If Lockhart is really the heir, then it is obviously extremely unwise to fight him at his home ground.

Mike's brain was running fast, and he quickly thought of a good place: the Hogwarts kitchen.

There are many house elves in the kitchen of Hogwarts. Although these house elves usually look submissive, their strength is actually not weak.At that time, if Lockhart really had a conflict with him, those house elves would definitely not sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Mike nodded to Lockhart and said: "I can talk to you, but I need to change the location. I don't like the decoration in your office very much. Let's go to the Hogwarts kitchen, which happens to be my Also wanted to ask the house-elves some questions about cooking magic."

Lockhart had a look of embarrassment on his face, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing, Franklin looked at Lockhart's leaving back, and asked Mike: "There is something wrong with him, do you want me to go with you later?" go?"

Mike glanced at Franklin and saw that the word nervous was written all over his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He felt that as his friend, he didn't help him in the basilisk incident, so he felt guilty.

After staring at Franklin for a long time, Mike looked away until Franklin became uncomfortable, and said slowly: "Thanks Franklin, I will ask you to go with me in the afternoon."
