Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 143
In the Foley Manor at this time.

Large expanses of flowers and lawns covered the entire periphery of the manor, and the children were playing around on the lawn, sometimes a glowing firefly flying by would cause them to exclaim.

The refreshing fragrance of flowers rushed to his face, and the scene in front of him almost made Mike think that he had traveled to spring again. The scenery here was in stark contrast to the snowy appearance of Hogwarts Castle.

"Our family's manor is not bad." Abt pointed to a sculpture in the distance and said to Mike, "There are more than 200 magical sculptures arranged in the entire Foley Manor, and the heat-insulating magic patterns on these sculptures make the temperature here It stays at a pleasant 22 degrees all year round."

Mike unfolded his magic perception and 'looked' at the sculpture, and he was surprised to find a large number of magic lines shining with magic aura on the sculpture's body.

"Such a large area, how much mana does it cost every day." Mike sighed, "Did the deputy director of the Auror Office make so much money?"

To Mike's surprise, Abt showed an embarrassed look on his face after hearing Mike's words.

"Ahem, we are friends, so I won't hide it from you." Abt coughed twice and said, "Actually, these magic devices are only activated when there are large-scale banquets in the manor due to the high cost. You The lawns and flowers you see now were actually laid out just yesterday.”

Seeing the surprised expression on Mike's face, Abbott hastily changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about that, I'll take you to see my father, he's been talking about you all this time."

After finishing speaking, he took Mike straight into the villa in the manor. Along the way, many gorgeously dressed guests cast curious looks at Mike. They didn't understand who had such a big face to make today's host, The young master of the Foley family personally led them into the villa.

The interior of the villa is a bit more luxurious than the exterior. The huge magic chandelier exudes soft light, providing light to the young men and women in the hall.

Although Uncle Mario's invitation letter stated that it was a dinner party, in fact, this dinner party was more like a self-service tea party.

A large number of delicacies are placed on a huge long table for guests to take by themselves.And every time someone removes a plate of food, the same food reappears.

Boys and girls in luxurious dresses gathered together in twos and threes to chat, and when they talked about rising, they would take the wine handed by the waiter and toast each other.

Mike also found acquaintances in the crowd. Draco and Chris, who had a relationship with Mike in the first grade, were also at the banquet, and beside them was a girl with short hair who was using nympho Looking at Draco with eyes like eyes, this should be Pansy.

Unlike other boys, because Draco and Chris were too young, they didn't take the initiative to seek out the girls at the banquet to strike up a conversation, but the three of them gathered together to chat and laugh.

I don't know if Draco's natural sixth sense is stronger, but he actually noticed Mike's gaze.

The eyes of the two met, and Draco's face turned black. He instinctively glanced in one direction and then returned to his old-fashioned look, facing Mike with a provocative smile. smiled.

Following Draco's gaze just now, Mike found that Draco's father Lucius and mother Narcissa were talking to Uncle Mario.

"Father, Mike is here." Abt greeted Uncle Mario from a long distance away.

Hearing his son's voice, Uncle Mario was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, ignoring Lucius and his wife who walked quickly and hugged Mike.

"Oh! Our handsome guy is finally here!" Uncle Mario patted Mike on the back and said, "Is your teacher still unwilling to come this time? What a stubborn old man, I still want to introduce him to a wife .”

Mike himself was a little breathless after being photographed by Uncle Mario, and he coughed violently after hearing the second half of his sentence.

He finally knew why Professor Flitwick didn't want to come to this dinner. It turned out that it was Uncle Mario, an old naughty boy who wanted to introduce his wife.

"What's wrong with you, do you have a cold?" Seeing Mike coughing, Uncle Mario asked nervously, and then patted Mike on the back even harder.

Mike, whose back hurt from being slapped, was about to stop when a nice female voice came over.

"Mr. Foley, is this the curse genius you mentioned?" Narcissa said with a smile while holding Lucius' arm, "What a talent, I heard that you are the same as Draco in our family this year. Years, you have to teach him well, he's terrible at Charms."

"Yeah, Draco, he knows Quidditch all day long, and his studies have been wasted." Lucius said with a smirk on his face, "Draco, your classmate is here, why don't you hurry up and say hello."

Not far away, Draco has been silently watching Mike's side. Seeing that his parents, who knew that he and Mike had a feud, are still very displeased with Mike's amiable look. He stepped forward and prepared to ask his father why he didn't help him out.

Knowing the son is like a father, Lucius knew that his son's temper might explode again when he saw Draco's frantic look, so he quickly sent him a vicious look, staring at Draco like a quail .

Seeing that Draco was so afraid of his father, Mike also wanted to laugh, but it was obviously not suitable to provoke Draco on this occasion, so he said with a smile: "Uncle Lucius, you are joking, Draco is at school Although the grades in the school are not the best, but they have been maintained at the first-class level, I am afraid I can't teach him anything. Of course, if I quit Quidditch, I believe that Draco will definitely be able to improve academically."

"Yeah, Uncle Lucius, Draco's grades are good enough. At least better than mine, isn't it?" Chris also followed Mike's words after hearing the words, and shook hands with Mike after speaking.

Hearing Mike and Chris praising their precious son, Narcissa covered her mouth and let out a cheerful laugh. Infected by this laughter, the expressions on the faces of Draco and Lucius became much more natural.

Lucius just wanted to continue to praise Mike and Chris to respond to their business exchange just now, but there was a commotion not far away.

"You filthy bastard! You're worse than a mudblood and dare to show yourself in a place like this!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw many people gathered together in the center of the hall, and in the center of the crowd were two young girls.

One person was of average appearance and had a few freckles on his face. At the moment, he was pointing at another girl and swearing.

The other person has a pair of azure blue eyes, and the long waterfall-like silver hair is shining with stars under the light.

　Pansy in this book adopts the image of Pansy in the movie version of "Prisoner of Azkaban", that is, the image of the black-haired little lolita played by Genevieve Gunter, instead of the ugly one in the original book and subsequent movies. Ugly.
