Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 165

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon, Senior Sister Carol!"

"Yes, Mike. Let me see how much you have learned from Professor Flitwick."

Since both of them deliberately lowered their voices, this gunpowder-flavored conversation was only heard by a few people on the stage.After hearing the conversation between the two, Lockhart unconsciously had a smile on his face, and was quickly suppressed by him.

After Mike and Carroll finished drawing lots, the other contestants also drew their own draws soon. Every time Lockhart held up a note to announce the number, there would be a burst of cheers from the audience.

Although he knew it was not a good idea to think like that, Mike still found this scene very funny.These audiences are like robots, controlled by Lockhart, the 'mechanic'.

With the drawing of lots completed, the schedule for the first Hogwarts Dueling Tournament of eight to four was officially announced.

Game [-], Mike VS Carol

Game [-], Cedric VS Silpa of Slytherin (passerby)
In the third game, Gryffindor's male student union chairman Bruno VS Gryffindor's Mopass (passerby)
Game [-], Slytherin's Willy VS Slytherin's Card (passerby)

Everyone in Hogwarts is actually dissatisfied with this list, because this list is too suspicious.

Among them, except for Cedric, who was not a civil war, the other three games were civil wars in the same academy, and all four of these games were between seeded players from the four major colleges directly against self-improvement players who had advanced from the audition.

This has to make people wonder whether the lottery box has been tampered with, so as to deliberately achieve such a controversial and topical result.

But even so, the audience in the audience still gave them the biggest applause at the moment the list was released. After all, even if they didn't say it, everyone actually had a certain jealousy towards the seeded players of their own academy.

Why can you skip the previous games and directly advance to the quarterfinals?Why were you chosen instead of me?

Out of this kind of jealousy, everyone deeply hopes that those players who stepped onto the stage step by step can beat those seeded players who went through the back door. OK' and other sarcastic remarks.

But will reality really develop as they hoped?
At least Mike can be sure that he and Cedric will never lose to their respective opponents.

The lottery ceremony was over, and as soon as Mike left the auditorium from the backstage, he bumped into Franklin who was waiting outside the door.

"Mike, you're finally out!" Franklin said in a depressed mood. "It's too bad that eight-in-two vs. Carol-senpai, damn Lockhart must have tampered with the lottery box!"

Franklin in front of him looked like a frosted eggplant. Mike looked at him and showed a confident smile and said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I will win the glory of winning the championship, whether it is Ravenclaw or not. It's still mine!"

"But, but, Carol is very strong, she is a senior in the seventh grade." As if shocked by Mike's confident speech, Franklin stuttered, "Besides, Senior Carol And a groundhog, I've asked, and that's a very powerful form of transfiguration."

"Busy Kang! That's an Animagus, brother!"

Seeing Franklin still bewildered, Mike explained helplessly: "Don't you take transfiguration classes well? Animagus transfiguration is a very advanced transfiguration. People who have learned this transfiguration Those who can transform themselves into animals are called Animagus.

Animagus Transfiguration looks powerful, but it has many limitations.

First of all, it is extremely difficult. Since the ability of Animagus to turn into animals is often used in crimes, the Ministry of Magic requires all Animagus to register with the Ministry of Magic. The praise and promotion of these Animagus is at the same time their supervision.And there are only seven registered Animagus in this century, and Professor McGonagall is one of them.

The reason why there are so few is because it is too difficult. In the process of practicing Animagus, there is a great probability that learners will fail, and the price of failure is to become a half-human, half-beast monster, or lose The self-consciousness becomes a total beast.

Secondly, Animagus cannot turn into any animal at will. Everyone can only turn into a fixed creature. What kind of animal can turn into is related to the character and weight of the caster, and it cannot turn into a magical creature.Another interesting point is that the costume of Animagus before transformation will be reflected in the appearance of the transformed animal.

Take Carroll as an example, the fur color of the groundhog she turned into in the last game is exactly the same as the Hogwarts robe, and there is a sky blue fur representing the Ravenclaw tie between the neck.

And Carroll's Animagus transformation also revealed her personality characteristics from the side. She is good at socializing, and will try to avoid head-to-head confrontation with others, but she can show infinite courage in critical junctures and so on.

Finally, due to the characteristic of not being able to transform into magical creatures, Animagus is really not strong, especially Carol's transformation is still a groundhog.It might be useful to launch a surprise attack without anyone knowing, but it's really useless once it's revealed. "

After patiently listening to Mike's narration, Franklin's ignorant face was filled with ambiguity, and it took a while before he came back to his senses: "Where did you know so much strange knowledge? How about it?"

Seeing Franklin's reaction, Mike knew that what he just said was all in vain. He shook his head helplessly and stopped talking. He turned and walked to Professor Flitwick's office, while Franklin followed step by step. behind Mike.

In the past few days, due to a comprehensive search of the place where the crown was found, Mike has been banned from entering the Room of Requirement to practice spells.Fortunately, Professor Flitwick had anticipated this before leaving, and gave Mike the key to his office, allowing Mike to practice in the hidden spell training ground in his office.

Although the practice room that Professor Flitwick built in his office with huge sums of money was still a bit inferior to the Response Room, Mike was already very satisfied at the moment.

The battle for the semi-finals will start tomorrow, and Mike must hurry up to study Carol's combat methods.
