Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 150 Lockhart's Novel
As if sensing something, Mike suddenly turned his head and looked towards a corner of the auditorium.However, there was nothing there but an empty seat.

"What's wrong with you?" Penello asked in surprise.

"It's nothing."

Although he said nothing, but Mike's eyes were locked on the empty seat.

He clearly felt that there was someone staring at him viciously just now, could that person be...

"Mike! What are you waiting for? Go back to the Ravenclaw lounge!" Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw team, hugged Mike's shoulders excitedly, "We are now number one in the standings , Sister Carol prepared a celebration banquet for us!"

The sudden appearance of Roger startled the pensive Mike, and after hearing what he said, Mike instinctively wanted to refuse.

Mike still has to go to the Response Room for training, and Quidditch training and competitions take up a lot of Mike's time.This made Mike have to squeeze all his free time for spell training. You know, the top 8 of the duel competition will start soon.

However, before Mike could speak, the other players of the Ravenclaw team fell on the stands, lifted Mike up and rushed into Hogwarts Castle.

Mike would disappear immediately after every game, never joining their celebrations, and this time he must not be allowed to escape again.

Mike struggled hard but it was useless. With his current physical strength, he couldn't resist the five big men.Penello, who was on the side, was a little surprised at first, but after Qiu Zhang bit her ear for a while, he let Roger and others carry Mike away.

However, it turned out that Mike was still unable to attend their celebration dinner today.

As soon as everyone carried Mike into Hogwarts Castle, Lockhart appeared on their only way.

"Oh! Boys, I wonder if I can borrow your big star for a while?" Lockhart said with a gentleman's salute and smiled.

Although Roger and the others were a little reluctant, they still didn't dare to disobey the professor's order, and put Mike down with a promise.

"looking for me?"

After being put down, Mike tidied up his messy Quidditch uniform, approached Lockhart and asked.

"It's not suitable to say here, go to my office."

Seeing Lockhart's serious expression, Mike agreed, and after saying goodbye to Roger and others, he followed Lockhart to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

Lockhart's office has the characteristics of "Lockhart". The walls of the office are covered with Lockhart's magical portraits, and there is a pleasant fragrance in the air.

"My novel outline is ready, so please come and review it." Lockhart took out a set of exquisite porcelain teapots from the drawer, and said to make a cup of black tea for Mike.

"Outline? That is to say, you haven't started writing the text yet?" Mike noticed that Lockhart deliberately emphasized the word "review" when he said this sentence, with his right hand still wearing the metal Quidditch gauntlet He slammed the desk hard, "What have you been doing all this time? Hiding in this office and watching those stupid women send X photos to you?

Do you think I can't treat you like this after signing the contract?Now dare to speak to me in this tone!ah? "

"Don't get excited! Writing a novel is not as easy as you think, really! In addition, there are a lot of duel contests recently, so it's delayed." Lockhart saw that Mike was angry, and hurriedly argued, "By the way, I Here is another piece of information that you will definitely like."

Having said that, Lockhart hurriedly took out a roll of parchment from the drawer and placed it respectfully in front of Mike.

He continued to stare at Lockhart for a long time, and seeing that he was still cowering, Mike looked back in satisfaction and picked up the parchment.

At the beginning of the parchment, four names were written in the four colors of red, green, blue and yellow representing the four colleges:

Bruno Oppa (Gryffindor)
Willie Parker (Slytherin)
Mike Townley (Ravenclaw)
Cedric Diggory (Hufflepuff)

"This is the list of the top 12 duel contests. The top four are the seed players of the four major academies." Seeing Mike's interested expression, Lockhart hastily approached and explained.

Mike nodded slightly, he knew all the people above.

Gryffindor's Bruno is the male student president who was beaten by the female student council president Carol with a group of Ravenclaw girls when he first started school, and Willy is the recognized leader of Slytherin, and he is in grade 7 this year.

In addition to these four names written in special ink, there are eight other names written in ordinary black ink on the parchment.

As soon as Mike glanced at it, he was attracted by the first name on the top of the list, and saw that it was written impressively: Percy Weasley.

Mike still has a deep impression of Percy, not only because he is the brother of George and Fred, but also because he also has some unrealistic fantasies about his girlfriend Penello.

Mike was not surprised that Percy was able to advance to the top 12 of the duel competition. After all, although Percy has some flaws in character, he is more vain and powerful, but he still has talent and strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the chairman of the Boys' Student Union in the original book, and he wouldn't have become a subordinate of old Barty Crouch, who was still the director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation after graduation.

To be honest, if it goes well, with Percy's blood and talent, he might be able to become a senior official of the Ministry of Magic in the end.

Out of an instinctive aversion to his rival, Mike still asked about Percy's information.

"How is this Percy doing?"

"Excellent! He is the strongest of the eight players, and the only one who has completed all the games without a single injury." Lockhart saw Mike asking himself, and leaned forward very dog-leggedly, "If you need me here The detailed information of all the people above, including the analysis of combat power, can be provided to you."

Mike raised his head and took a deep look at Lockhart, seeing that his attitude was very upright, not at all the secretly unconvinced look at the beginning, and the corners of his mouth curled up a bit.

"Give it all to me, along with your outline."

"Yes! I'll give it to you. Are you leaving now? Don't you want to sit a little longer? This is high-grade Kenyan black tea." Halfway through speaking, Lockhart seemed to think of something, and said, "Look at me Brain, you must be in a hurry to attend the celebration banquet, right? To be honest, your playing is really..."

Mike's head grew dizzy seeing his frantic sycophancy, and he took a dozen documents from Lockhart's hand and left the office.

However, unlike what Lockhart had guessed, after Mike left, he didn't go to the lounge to attend Roger's celebration banquet, but went straight to the Response Room.
