Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 171 The Birth of the Top Four
It has to be said that the wizards are indeed very convenient in building buildings. While Mike is on the throne, those staff have restored the arena to its original state, and this also means that the next game is about to start.

Mike also shifted his attention from the giant eagle to the arena. The next game will be Cedric's game. As the most powerful contender for the championship, Mike has to watch his game.

Cedric's opponent is a Slytherin player named Silpa, and this Silpa player can be regarded as an inspirational figure.

In fact, he is very similar to Professor Snape, both of them are of mixed race, their fathers are both Muggles, and both of them have a tendency to domestic violence after marriage.

The difference was that Snape's mother, Irene Prince, who came from the Potion Master family, chose to endure and persevere, while Silpa's mother chose to resist.

After getting rid of the man who would beat her when he was drunk, Silpa's mother brought Silpa back into the family and was accepted by the family.

But because she married a Muggle and gave birth to the half-blood Silpa, both mother and son were regarded as a disgrace to the family. Although the family accepted them, their life was very sad.

Especially little Silpa, who grew up surrounded by endless bullying by his peers.

But this harsh environment not only did not make Silpa go astray, but inspired his rebellious psychology. He vowed to become a big shot and make those who look down on him pay the price.

So he began to study spells day and night.

Silpa is not a genius, his talent can only be said to be average, but hard work can make up for it. He has become the top group of people in Hogwarts by relying on his hard work, while many people with better talents than him are far behind. Not as strong as him.

This proves that the level of effort of many people has not reached the point of striving for talent.

But although Silpa worked very hard and was very strong, that was all he could do.

Without the support of family resources, he is no match for Cedric at all.

Cedric's Transfiguration wasn't just for defense. Silpa only persisted for 10 minutes when Cedric transformed a large number of wolves, tigers and leopards to attack him.

Silpa was deeply influenced by Snape's ideas, so he couldn't help but surrender decisively.

Facing his failed student, Snape didn't say anything even though his face was a bit ugly, because the difference in strength was too great after all.

The throne next to Mike finally has its own owner, just like when Mike sat on it. When Cedric sat on the throne, a huge British badger made of yellow light also rose into the air and walked in the air. , and finally stopped at the top of the Hufflepuff stands.

Compared with Mike's Feast of Fire and Cedric's Beast Rush, the next two games are a bit boring.

There was no suspense in the Slytherin civil war at all. The Slytherin player who played against the seeded Slytherin player Willie replaced Percy to become the quarterfinals. There was no chance of winning against Willy at all. Defeated by Willy with a powerful Bone Crushing Curse.

The civil war in Gryffindor is a bit interesting. Bruno, the chairman of the Boys' Union and a Gryffindor seed player, actually fell into a disadvantage in the match with his opponent. Seeing this, Professor McGonagall's face on the edge of the field turned black.

You must know that Professor McGonagall selected him as a seed player. If Bruno loses to a player from the same school in the competition, it is to show everyone in Hogwarts that Professor McGonagall is ignorant of people.

There will even be remarks like 'Bruno may have bribed Professor McGonagall to become a seeded player'.

This will deal a big blow to Professor McGonagall, who has always been upright.

Fortunately, Bruno did not disappoint Professor McGonagall in the end, nor did he give those people with ulterior motives a chance. After a hard fight, he finally defeated his opponent.

So far, the top four of the first Hogwarts Duel Tournament have all appeared, and the top four are all seeded players from the four major colleges. This also proves to everyone that the deans have a vicious vision.

A giant lion shining with golden light and a giant python shining with green light also appeared on the circular arena, and the representative creatures of the four major colleges each occupied a corner of the arena, watching the other three giant beasts vigilantly.

"Okay everyone! So far our semi-finals have all been born!" Lockhart was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse, "But today we still have one most important thing to do, and that is the semi-final draw! Invite our most respected Headmaster, Dumbledore!"

As soon as this remark came out, the little wizards who were already preparing to leave sat back in their seats, and Mike on the high platform was also a little surprised.

But after thinking about it carefully, he understood Lockhart's purpose in doing so.

Lockhart had indeed cheated in the last draw ceremony. If the entire academy would be annihilated if the eight entered four, it would definitely affect the influence of the semi-finals.

But this kind of cheating has also caused the dueling contest organizers' credibility to plummet. After all, everyone is not a fool. Everyone can see Lockhart's thoughts. Now everyone is wondering whether Lockhart will draw lots in the semi-finals. Also make some small moves.

Faced with this situation, Lockhart directly invited Dumbledore, which was undoubtedly a good move.

The students at Hogwarts don't trust him, Lockhart, don't they trust their headmaster, Dumbledore?

Under everyone's gaze, Dumbledore in the stands put his hand on Phoenix Fox, and the next moment, Dumbledore appeared in the suspended attic with a flash of fire.

A few good-looking female staff next to them brought a brand new lottery box to Dumbledore.

This time, Lockhart simply refused to let the players participate in the lottery, and chose to let Dumbledore complete all the lottery by himself.

As Dumbledore reached into the drawing box, Bruno on the high throne was already sweating profusely.He knows his strength in his own mind. It is a blessing to be able to advance to the semi-finals today. If he wants to go further to the finals, he must not meet the two monsters, Cedric and Mike.

Bruno, however, was clearly not the chosen one either.

"Mike vs. Willy in the first round of the semi-final!" Dumbledore's old voice spread throughout the arena, "Cedric vs. Bruno in the second round of the semi-final!"

The moment the lottery result was announced, the four ferocious beasts above the amphitheatre roared, the giant eagle against the giant python, the giant lion against the giant badger.The behemoths representing the four colleges have all found their opponents, grinning as if an epic battle will break out in the next moment.
