Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 163 Lies (thanks to Trooper770 for the reward)
After being yelled at by Mike, Professor Flitwick finally recovered from the shock of getting the crown, and said in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, Mike. I'm a little out of control, you can continue talking."

"I suspect that Voldemort made more than one Horcrux, and the other one may be in Percy's hands, and Percy is very likely to be controlled by the Horcrux." Mike said in a non-surprised way.

"Okay. Let's not go into how you know about the Horcrux, but how can you be sure that Percy is controlled by the Horcrux."

"Feeling! A feeling!" Mike vowed, "Percy has the feeling I felt in the crown. How can I say that feeling, it's evil. And it also has the ability to deceive people."

Hearing that Professor Flitwick was silent, deep in his heart he was unwilling to believe Mike. After all, Voldemort had caused too much harm to the entire British wizarding world. what scene.

But Mike is his most valued disciple. Based on what he knows about Mike, Mike should not joke about such things.If what Mike said is true, then continuing to deceive oneself and others is courting death, and they must act immediately to stop Voldemort.

"Okay, I believe you." Flitwick pondered for a long time before saying, "But there are too many things involved in this matter, I must tell Dumbledore immediately. You just wait here for a while, and I will go back as soon as I go."

Watching Professor Flitwick leave the office in a hurry, Mike played with the wand in his hand with a smile on his face.

Mike had already considered it very clearly before. Although it was already certain that Percy was the owner of the diary Horcrux, it was almost impossible for Mike alone to destroy them.Let's not talk about whether Mike's strength is enough, this is Hogwarts, as long as Percy keeps a low profile in the next day, then Mike has almost no chance to attack him.

So the only way is to use official power.

With the current attitude of the wizarding world towards the second-generation Dark Lord Voldemort, as long as Dumbledore and others know the truth about the Horcruxes, Percy and the diary Horcruxes will become street rats, and everyone will shout and beat them.

So Mike half-truthed that the crown is a Horcrux.

On this point, Mike is also deliberate.

The first is Flitwick's trust. The childless Professor Flitwick treated Mike extremely well, almost treating Mike as his own child.At the beginning, Mike still doubted that Flitwick was so kind to him because he had some ulterior motives, but after a long time, Mike has regarded Flitwick as his relative.Mike believed that Professor Flitwick would believe everything he said.

Moreover, what Mike said was not entirely a lie, and this kind of half-truth and half-false lie was the most difficult to be exposed.Mike believed that even if he confronted Dumbledore face to face, he could convince Dumbledore of his own words.

Not long after, Professor Flitwick led Dumbledore into the office in a hurry, and behind them, Snape and other Hogwarts professors followed.

"I've heard about it on the way, but I still want to ask again, Mike, are you sure it's Voldemort's Horcrux?" Dumbledore said straight to the point.

"I'm sure!"

"I must warn you, Mr. Townley." Snape said suddenly, "you are legally responsible for spreading rumors and spreading panic. If we find out later that what you told was a lie, you will not only be expelled from the school, but also Maybe going to Azkaban to serve his sentence!"

"I'm [-] percent sure!" Faced with Snape's semi-threatening warning, Mike was right.

After getting an affirmative answer, everyone present showed shocking expressions on their faces, only Lockhart was stunned.

"Who can tell me what a Horcrux is?" Lockhart asked.

As soon as this remark came out, the scene fell into a strange silence, and everyone looked at Lockhart as if they saw some monster.

"Please! Don't look at me like that!"

At this time, Dumbledore, who couldn't stand it anymore, explained aloud:
"Horcrux is a very evil black magic. Through the evil ritual of murdering one or more people, the caster can separate part of his soul and attach it to an object alone. This object is called horcruxes.

And the person who made the horcrux is equivalent to having two lives and unlimited lifespan, because even if his main body dies accidentally, he can be resurrected through the soul on the horcrux. "

Hearing that, Lockhart was so startled that his mouth grew wide, and he stammered after a while: "Okay, okay. That's really a scary thing. Wait, you just said it was the mysterious man's horcrux, then That is to say, the mysterious man is not dead yet!?"

Lockhart figured it out halfway through, and covered his face in horror.

If Lockhart made such a move in the usual way, Snape would definitely laugh at him, but now, no one could laugh.

"Okay, everyone. Now is not the time to be in a daze, we have to act immediately." Seeing that everyone was depressed, Dumbledore said decisively, "McGonagall, check Percy right away, but be careful not to let him Found.

Felius, go check those crown fragments to see if there is still the breath of the Horcrux on them..."

As Dumbledore issued orders one after another in an orderly manner, everyone in the office also started to act. Only Lockhart still had some disbelief in Horcruxes. He grabbed Dumbledore's robe and said with hope:

"The mysterious man is dead, right? He won't come back! That kid Mike must be lying, right?"

"Lockhart, I can't give you an accurate answer." Dumbledore looked at Lockhart with pity, "But no matter whether what Mike said is true or not, we must be mentally prepared."

After saying this, Dumbledore shook off Lockhart's hand and left the office.

As everyone left one after another, Lockhart was left alone in the office, slumped on the ground in a daze. The news he had just received had hit him too hard.

In the corridor, Professor Flitwick looked at Mike who was already taller than him without knowing it, and remained silent.

"Mike, don't meddle in this matter any longer, we will deal with it." Professor Flitwick said solemnly, "I will go to Raven's Nest in the next few days to confirm the authenticity of the crown fragments. , you must be careful yourself."

"Understood, Dean."

Seeing that Mike nodded in agreement, Flitwick stopped talking and led Mike towards the direction of the Ravenclaw Tower. He was still worried about Mike and wanted to send him back in person.

And just when the two of them took a few steps, they found that at a corner in front of them, Franklin and others were furtively observing the situation in the direction of the office.Seeing that Professor Flitwick had spotted them, Franklin and the others quickly shrank back.

"Franklin! What are you guys doing!"

"Well, Professor Flitwick, we're just worried about Mike."

Seeing Franklin and the others lower their heads in a submissive manner, Mike made a relief and said, "Dean, I can just go back with Franklin and the others. You can go to work first."

"This…"

"Don't worry, don't you know my strength?"

Maybe it was really confidence in Mike's strength, or maybe Professor Flitwick was really busy, Professor Flitwick struggled for a moment and finally let go.

"Well, be careful all the way. Remember, don't continue to interfere in this matter!"
