Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Hibiscus and Christmas Gifts (two in one chapter)

The moment he saw the girl, an inexplicable desire to get close to her couldn't stop rising from the bottom of Mike's heart.Relying on his strong mental power to forcibly suppress this desire, Mike quickly entered a state of brain closure, which made him feel better.

Turning his head and looking around, the eyes of the Lucius couple and Uncle Mario were clear, and they were not affected at all. Abbott had already lost his eyesight and was in a state of being bewitched, but the tulip-shaped flower on his chest The brooch flashed suddenly, and Abbott returned to normal the next moment.

But Draco and Chris were not so lucky. Under Pansy's unbelievable eyes, the two people's eyes were dull, and they were about to walk in the direction of the girl with smirks.

Seeing this, Lucius forcibly held the two of them back, took out his wand and cast a awakening spell on the two of them, which brought them to their senses.

Draco, who had returned to normal, also realized his gaffe just now, and hid behind his father with a frightened face, not daring to look in the direction of the girl again.

Facing Draco's actions, Lucius only felt very ashamed, and pulled Draco hard a few times to make him normal.But he didn't think that Draco might be really frightened this time, and he hugged his father's thigh desperately and didn't let go, which made Lucius even more embarrassed.

"Ahem. I know that girl, she is the eldest lady of the French Delacour family." Lucius coughed twice to try to ease the embarrassment, "Her grandfather married a Veela as his wife, which caused her She also has a quarter of Veela blood on her body. So she also has some unique talents of Veela, such as charming men."

After listening to Lucius' explanation, Mike immediately understood who the silver-haired girl was, and that was Fleur, the warrior of the Triwizard Tournament French School of Magic Beauxbatons.

Due to the huge difference between the actors in the movie and the silver-haired girl in front of him, Mike didn't recognize the Beauxbaton warrior in the first place.

While Mike and the others were talking, things made new progress.

I saw that Furong didn't overreact to the freckled girl's scolding, but just looked at her coldly.The freckled girl was even more aroused when she saw Furong's appearance, maybe because she thought it was not enough to talk about it, she raised her hand and wanted to hit Furong.

"stop!"

At this moment, a handsome young man with a back comb grabbed the freckled girl's hand, and slapped her across the face with his backhand.

"How dare you hit me! You hit me for this bitch!"

Facing the freckled girl's questioning, the handsome young man didn't respond at all. At this moment, he was fawning around Fu Rong, as if he wanted to get praise from Fu Rong.

However, Fu Rong didn't give him a good face, she gave him a blank look and ran out of the hall.

Those teenagers who were fascinated by Hibiscus wanted to chase after her, but they were held back by their elders and their female companions.

"Isn't that the kid from Belit's family? It looks like he's very fascinated by that half-veela." Uncle Mario said, looking at the boy with the back of his head.

"That's right, he beat La Tier just now, it seems that the marriage between the two of them is going to fail this time." Narcissa also echoed.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, and warned several boys including Mike: "You have to be careful about that woman, you must know that Veela is a very evil creature, they are good at deforming, and often change into Be a young and beautiful woman to seduce men. When those men are completely fascinated by them, Veela will eat them. So the person with Veela blood is not destined to be a good thing.

Usually the wizards of big families would only treat them as pets no matter how much they liked Veela, and they didn't know what kind of madness old Delacour had gone to marry that magical creature as his wife.Isn't he afraid of tarnishing the blood of his family?You must know that they are magical creatures, and the blood of their children is more filthy than muggles! "

Mike, Uncle Mario and others all looked at Narcissa with unkind expressions, and Lucius even poked Narcissa with his elbow.

Perhaps it was because she said it so smoothly, Narcissa actually forgot that there was a Muggle-born Mike at the scene, and Mike was also a distinguished guest of today's host, the Foley family.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Seeing Mike and the others cast unfriendly glances at her, Narcissa quickly responded, "I'm really sorry, Mike. I didn't mean to discriminate against you."

"It's okay, I believe you are not the kind of person who would discriminate against Muggles." Mike said polite words, but the smile on his face was abnormally cold. Everyone present could see that Mike was very unhappy at this time.

"Okay, Lucius. Go get busy first, Mike and I still have something to talk about." Uncle Mario's face was not very good, and he directly ordered Lucius to leave.

When the Lucius couple faced Mario, the deputy director of the Auror office with the same noble blood, they had no choice but to leave the hall in despair.

After Lucius and his wife left, Uncle Mario's face looked a little better. He first apologized to Mike, claiming that he had wronged Mike today, and said that he would send people from the Ministry of Magic to conduct a surprise inspection of Mario tomorrow. Fu Manor, see if there is anything related to black magic, and help Mike vent his anger.

Hearing this, Mike immediately understood why Lucius didn't dare fart in front of Uncle Mario. As a person with a serious criminal record and whose ass hasn't been wiped clean until now, he was afraid of Mario, a jc in the wizarding world. It is a matter of course for senior officials of the department.

The atmosphere at the scene returned to normal after Mike made it clear that he didn't care. Under the introduction of Uncle Mario, Mike got to know almost half of the pure-blood nobles in the British wizarding world.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and it was not until the end of the banquet that Mike slipped out of the villa to get some air while Uncle Mario was speaking on stage.

"call"

In a remote corner of Foley Manor, Mike loosened his tie and exhaled a foul breath.

Mike has never liked this kind of aristocratic social dinner. There are so many scary rules at this kind of banquet. As long as you have a little improper etiquette, you will be considered a country bumpkin.

Suddenly, Mike heard what seemed to be a woman's cry in the woods ahead, and hurried to find the sound.

I saw Fu Rong squatting alone in the dark grove, her shiny silver hair shimmering, very conspicuous.

Perhaps it is the talent brought by Veela blood, Furong's perception is extremely outstanding, and Mike was discovered by Furong as soon as he entered the grove.

"Who are you!"

"Are you Fleur Delacour? I just saw you in the villa." Facing Fleur's exclamation, Mike said calmly, "Sorry, were you crying just now?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Rong wiped away the tears on her face vigorously, and said, "I didn't cry! Also, you haven't answered me yet!"

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry, I must have heard it wrong just now." Mike, who had unfolded his magic perception, saw all of Fu Rong's little movements. Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, he kept a serious face, "I am Mike Townley, Hogwarts second year, a Mudblood."

Furong in the dark was obviously stunned when she heard the word Mudblood, and the disgust hidden deep in her eyes also eased a little.

"It's impossible, how could a wizard of Muggle blood be invited to the banquet tonight?" As if wanting to see Mike's face clearly, Fleur came not far from Mike.

"About Foley is a good friend of mine. You really shouldn't be here. As far as I know, today's banquet is essentially a blind date. With your blood, there will be no A pure-blood family will take a fancy to you." Seeing that Fleur didn't use the insulting term Mudblood to address herself, Mike said half-jokingly with a smile on his face.

Hearing Mike's words, Furong's bright eyes dimmed, "I wouldn't have come if my mother hadn't pushed her hard."

After all, it seemed that the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Fu Rong kicked a big tree next to her, and then said: "She always wants me to marry a pure-blood wizard, and the purer the blood, the better. It is to dilute the Veela lineage in our family."

"Uh, it seems that your mother is a little, um, a little too conservative." Mike said, "But your mother should also have Veela blood. Why are you so persistent in pursuing the purity of your blood?"

"She's a lunatic!" Fu Rong leaned close to Mike and said with wide eyes, "In her words, it's because of our Veela blood that we are discriminated against everywhere, so we need Go find a pure-blood wizard to marry to purify the blood of our descendants, otherwise our descendants will always be discriminated against in the future!"

Hearing this, Mike was also a little surprised, but soon relieved.

Mike has seen this kind of situation in his previous life in those women who came from patriarchal families. Obviously, he has been persecuted by patriarchal thoughts, but he also likes boys. Once a girl is born, he will treat the child like her parents. I can't see it in every possible way.

"I don't think so. The times have changed, and blood equality is the mainstream in the future. If those ancient pure-blood nobles choose to stick to their corrupt blood, they will be drowned by the tide of the times!" Mike said sonorously .

"You really think so?" Mike's words suit Fu Rong's appetite first, and Fu Rong's face smiled for the first time today, "By the way, why aren't you fascinated by me?"

"Maybe it's because you're not pretty enough."

"you're lying!"

In the quiet and deserted grove, the two chatting happily sat together unknowingly.At this moment, the two heard a middle-aged female voice anxiously calling Fu Rong's name outside the woods.

Fu Rong's face changed drastically when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said to Mike: "No! It's my mother, you hide quickly."

After all, he looked around in panic, helping Mike find a place to hide.

Mike laughed when he saw this, and patted Fleur a few times to signal that he should not panic, then picked up his wand, cast illusion under Fleur's surprised gaze, and disappeared into the woods.

And at the moment when Mike disappeared, Fu Rong's mother also found Fu Rong in the woods.

"So you are here! You child is really worrying, why did you run out without making a sound, let me look for it!" After finding Furong, the middle-aged woman was obviously relieved, and complained, "Hurry up! Come back with me at [-]:[-], the banquet is over, if we don't leave, we will miss the carriage!"

Fleur seemed to be very afraid of her mother, she bowed her head and was scolded silently, but Mike noticed that Fleur, who was bowing her head, secretly stuck out her little tongue when her mother was talking, looking naughty.

"Oh, I see!"

Fu Rong immediately replied when she heard her mother's words, but she kept looking at the position where Mike was just now, and stretched out her hand there, as if to confirm whether Mike was still there.

Seeing her cute look, Mike couldn't help but grabbed Fu Rong's hand, wanting to see her startled when her hand was suddenly grabbed.

But Furong's reaction surprised Mike. Instead of being frightened, she scratched Mike's palm, smiled at Mike's position, broke away from Mike's hand and ran to her mother with a smile. Yu Mike stared blankly at the mother and daughter as they walked further and further away.

Feeling the feeling left in his palm, Mike couldn't help but lament that Fleur really deserves to be a romantic Frenchman, who is more open than the British at 01:30.

You know, scratching the palm of the opposite sex means that there is hope to develop a deeper relationship with the other party.

At this moment, the sky had already turned white. Seeing that the mother and daughter had gone far away, Mike also lifted the illusion spell and returned to the villa.After rejecting Abbott's persuasion, Mike returned to Hogwarts in a black Lincoln.

After returning to the dormitory, Mike suddenly found that his dormitory was already full of Christmas gifts, big and small, so he decided not to sleep at all, and buried himself in unwrapping the presents.

The Christmas presents that Mike sent were bought as early as when he went out to customize the suits, and all of them were handed over to an owl rental company in Diagon Alley, so that they could send the gifts to their owners on Christmas Eve.

Mike has never been a person who is good at choosing gifts. Except for the gift for Penello, which is a pair of emerald earrings he carefully selected, the gifts for everyone, including all the faculty and staff of Hogwarts, are the same. A magical candy spree (Christmas special edition) from Honeydukes Candy Shop.

Mike received significantly more gifts this year than last year, but most of them were Christmas cards with Santa Claus painted on them. It was not necessary to think that these gifts were sent by wizards of Muggle descent.

Among the many gifts, what Mike is most satisfied with is the set of "Guide to the Flame Master" given by Professor Flitwick, which records a lot of advanced knowledge about the flame spell, which is of great help to Mike.

What surprised Mike the most was that Professor McGonagall also gave him a gift, and the gift he gave was very expensive. It was a notebook full of knowledge about Transfiguration.

This notebook looks a little old, and the colors on the cover have faded.And the handwriting on it doesn't look like Professor McGonagall's.

Mike compared the handwriting of all the professors at Hogwarts, but they didn't match. Finally, when he found a notice written by Dumbledore and compared it, he was surprised to find that this notebook turned out to be written by Dumbledore. .
