Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 118 Confession
"In this case, Professor Lockhart, can you prove it?" Mike continued to prod Lockhart, "I heard that the Patronus Charm is an extremely complicated and difficult spell. Whether the Patronus can become the Wizengamot and the high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic is one of the important bases, I think, as a famous and respected white wizard, you should be able to release the Patronus Charm, right?"

Lockhart hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak, the expression on his face became more and more ugly, and he was about to explode.

Seeing Lockhart's expression, Mike knew that the fire was almost done, so he decided to push harder.

"Professor Lockhart, you are still the recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class. I thought you should be a powerful wizard." Mike said, "But I still heard that the reason you received this medal is because You have improved the Oblivion Curse so that the side effects of the Oblivion Curse are greatly reduced?"

Hearing that, Lockhart's face was ashen, and he was stunned. He didn't even notice that the juice in his hand accidentally dripped on his body.

"You already know! Did they tell you?" Lockhart said blankly.

Mike didn't respond, but just showed an inscrutable smile at Lockhart.

"How could they do this, they swore to me! They swore to keep a secret for me!" Lockhart screamed hysterically.

At this time, Lockhart's emotions were out of control. Mike pulled Franklin aside and quickly backed away. With a light movement of the wand in his hand, the armor protection charm had covered the two of them.

"Calm down, professor!" Mike yelled.

At this time, Lockhart had already picked up his wand, but seeing Mike's vigilant look, and seeing all the house-elves gathered around nervously, he silently put away his wand again .

"Say it! What do you want! As long as you can keep the secret, I will give you everything!" Lockhart gritted his teeth, "You bloody vampires! Everyone wants to squeeze me! Dumbledore is like this, and now you are too Same!"

Seeing his reaction, Mike knew in his heart that Lockhart, the unlucky ghost, was indeed caught by Dumbledore and tricked him into coming to Hogwarts. Seeing that Lockhart's reaction did not seem to be fake, Mike also Lockhart's suspicion was ruled out.So he put on a bright smile again and said:
"Professor, you misunderstood, I am not threatening you..."

"Huh? Then you are deliberately using this matter to humiliate me?" Lockhart interrupted before Mike finished speaking. He had put up with Mike for a long time today.

Mike's smile froze on his face, he didn't expect Lockhart, a personable man with a heart of ten thousand years, to be choking.

"Then take it as if I'm threatening you!" Mike lowered his face, "I can accept your visit, and you can write that novel, but I must be the protagonist. Moreover, you must write the novel you wrote. Show me the manuscript, if there is something that makes me dissatisfied, you will understand the consequences."

I don't know if it's because I completely tore my face so I didn't take it into account. Lockhart's attitude became obviously arrogant. He leaned back and raised his legs. Lockhart said: "I can promise you, but we must Sign the contract to prevent you from using this matter to blackmail me again! Use Gringotts' special contract magic!"

Mike has also heard of this kind of contract. It is often used in business signings in the wizarding world, and it has extremely strong effects.In addition to being backlashed by powerful magic power, those who violate the contract will be completely blacklisted by Gringotts, and will definitely be unable to move forward in the wizarding world in the future.But from this, a doubt also arose in Mike's heart, and asked:

"Wait, if you have that kind of thing, why worry about 'they' leaking it?"

Lockhart blushed again when he heard this, and roared angrily: "Are you pretending to be stupid again, you nasty brat? Contracts are useless to wizards of Dumbledore's level at all! Well, stop talking, Hurry up and sign the contract. And that black boy will also sign with me, make sure that he will not spread the news of what happened today!"

After confirming that Lockhart was not the heir, Mike had lost interest in him and just wanted to leave this place quickly, so he agreed decisively.

Lockhart couldn't wait to take out two pieces of parchment from the traceless stretching spell bag that he carried with him, wrote the contract with his gorgeous peacock quill pen, handed one to Mike, and threw the other in front of Franklin .

Mike looked at the contract, which described in great detail the fact that Lockhart was a liar and a memory thief, and also stated Mike's obligation to keep this secret for Lockhart and the rights he should enjoy.

After checking the entire parchment in detail, Mike signed his name at the signature place after finding that there were no hidden clauses such as other patterns that might be written by other races.

Compared with Mike, the contract to Franklin was much simpler. Franklin signed it early, but Lockhart slapped him to stop him from secretly looking at the contents of the contract in Mike's hand.

Franklin retreated to avoid the slap, and turned his head to glare at Lockhart. He was very dissatisfied with Lockhart's current attitude.Unexpectedly, Lockhart became stiff and stared back.

The two just stared at each other for a long time, until Lockhart snatched Mike's name and left the kitchen with a cold snort.

Franklin watched Lockhart's disappearing figure, and said to Mike, who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, angrily, "He's too arrogant, although I don't know what you've got hold of him, but I don't think you should Just let him go!"

Mike glanced at Franklin with some surprise, and saw that his face full of indignation was still childish. Then he realized that he was still a 12-year-old child, so he said to him earnestly:
"Franklin, we're not street gangsters who sell leaves. If people show us a little disrespect, they'll go up and hack him to death. Have a better attitude. They've suffered a lot from our coercion. Don't you allow them to be a little more arrogant?"

After speaking, Mike took the lead to leave the seat, and Franklin hurriedly followed.

At this time, there are still many delicacies on the table that have not been touched, which makes the house-elves very disturbed, thinking that they have not done well and let the guests not enjoy themselves. Among them, one of the most extreme house-elves is probably from I learned it from the foot pot chicken, and I have already put a knife on my belly and prepared to commit suicide.

For this reason, Mike had to stop to appease the house elves, explaining to them that it was because they were not hungry rather than that the food was not good, and promised to come back next time before the two were able to get away.

Rogers originally asked Mike to go to Quidditch training this afternoon, but there were too many troubles that happened today, and Mike was no longer in the mood to go to training.

Taking Franklin to the Ravenclaw Tower, Mike missed his sofa chair very much.
