Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 197 Double Crown
Two months later, in the Ravenclaw boys' dormitory.

Mike carefully studied the reply letter from Abbott in his hand. After a long time, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he picked up the pen and began to write the reply letter to Abbott.

Mike had already informed Abbott about the Dolphin Magic Drink patent in a letter two months ago, but Abbott didn't reply to Mike until now.

Fortunately, Abt's answer satisfied Mike very much.

Abbott said in the letter that Mike had nothing to worry about about Dolphin's magic drink.They have settled everything in the Ministry of Magic in the past two months, and now they only need to wait for Mike to show his face at the Ministry of Magic after the holiday, and the patents such as Dolphin Magic Drink will follow Mike's surname Tangley.

At that time, anyone else who dares to sell Dolphin's magic drink or products with ingredients similar to Dolphin's magic drink without Mike's authorization will be thrown into Azkaban, including Dolphin himself and his family.

Seeing this, Mike felt very happy. It is good for the wizarding world to have unsound laws. At least at this moment, he did rely on this to gain benefits.

If this were in the Muggle world, even if Mike preempted the patent of Dolphin, they would be able to take him to court, and finally regain the patent of Dolphin's magic drink.

But Abt also mentioned in the letter that if Dolphin and the others start a fight, Mike will still have some troubles, but Abt also said that they will send someone to warn Dolphin's family.

Thinking of this, the hand that was writing the letter suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face gradually became ferocious.

The seeds of the nightmare have already been planted on Dolphin. If Dolphin is sensible, it will be fine. If he is not, then Mike will kill him. Not only Dolphin himself, but also him family members will suffer.

After making a decision in this way, the pen in Mike's hand danced again, and a standard thank-you letter was released in a short while.

Open the window and let the owl messenger take this reply to Abbott. Mike checked the time again and got up and went to the auditorium when he found that the time was almost up.

Tonight, his second year-end dinner at Hogwarts will begin.

Walking out of the Ravenclaw lounge at a leisurely pace, Mike found that almost everyone in Hogwarts had a smile on their faces, and only a few students were still frowning.

It must have failed the exam.

Mike made a guess in his heart.

And speaking of exams, Mike didn't do very well either.Because Mike lived in the college for a long time before the exam, he was a long way behind in the review progress. Even if Penello, a top student, personally made up lessons for Mike, he couldn't make Mike catch up with others.

Fortunately, Mike's background is still good, so Mike's test scores in key subjects such as spells and potions are still very good.

Interestingly, because Mike put a lot of effort into transfiguration in order to defeat Cedric, this year Mike's transfiguration class was ranked second in the same grade. For this reason, Professor McGonagall also specially named She praised Mike a few words, which made Hermione's envious eyes almost burst into flames. Even Professor McGonagall did not praise her so much when she got the first place in her grade.

However, Mike's grades in relatively partial courses such as History of Magic and Herbal Medicine were quite unsatisfactory. Although Mike didn't fail any subjects, there were several of them that he just passed.Mike even wondered if those professors wanted to sell him because he was this year's duel champion and the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award winner, so he barely passed.

But Mike didn't take it seriously. To be honest, those unpopular courses hardly helped Mike's future.

Take History of Magic as an example, so what if Mike learns it well?Can he still learn from history?No kidding, paraphrase Hegel's famous saying 'The only lesson we learn from history is that we never learn any lesson from history. '

So Mike doesn't care if he can pass or not. Could it be that Dumbledore will expel himself because he failed a few irrelevant courses?

That is simply impossible. You must know that with Mike's current strength and demonstrated talent, it is too late for Dumbledore to keep him.

And even if Dumbledore really had a brain twitch and expelled him, he could still transfer to another school. Hogwarts is not the only magic school in this world.

Durmstrang in Northern Europe is a gathering place for pure-blood nobles, which is not suitable for Mike. Kunlun in the Celestial Dynasty is too exclusive and not suitable for him. As for Footbath and some other small wizarding schools, Mike doesn't like it. Beauxbatons from China and Ilvermorny from the United States are both good choices.

The Ilvermorny atmosphere in the United States is just like the atmosphere in the United States, free and equal. Although it is also deceiving children, various class conflicts and racial discrimination still exist, but compared to those places that clearly discriminate against Muggle-born wizards In terms of people, Ilvermorny can really be regarded as a good place.

It's a pity that the establishment of Ilvermorny is too short compared to other schools, so the background is not enough, and the level of the students it teaches is obviously a lot worse, so the place Mike wants to go the most is France Beauxbatons.

As one of the three famous universities in Europe, Beauxbaton's teaching ability is unquestionable. Nick Lemay, the inventor of the Philosopher's Stone, came from Beauxbaton.

And the most important thing is that there are too many beauties in Beauxbaton, and the big beauty in Furong is also there.

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly remembered an interesting thing. When looking up things about magic schools, Mike once saw an introduction about the Russian magic school. It is said that their Quidditch competition is not like the international mainstream. Compete on broomsticks, but on uprooted trees...

Should it be said that it is truly a fighting nation?

He chuckled and shook his head, throwing all these messy thoughts out of his mind. Since the dinner party was about to start, Mike didn't meet too many people along the way, and even if he did, most of them were Mike couldn't help speeding up his pace in a hurry.

After finally arriving in the auditorium, as soon as Mike opened the door, a sound wave poured into his ears, and he saw four long tables neatly placed in the auditorium, representing the four colleges, and the long tables at the moment The audience was already full of people, and everyone was talking about something enthusiastically, and the auditorium was full of noise.

Seeing this, Mike breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the dinner party hadn't started yet.

Looking around, Mike found that the layout of the auditorium had changed a lot. There were sky blue silk ribbons hanging everywhere on the walls, and blue temperament made of the same material was hung above everyone's heads, with pictures of pull The representative creature of Winclaw, an eagle soaring high.

This is the result of an afternoon of labor by Professor Flitwick and everyone in Ravenclaw. If there is no accident, Ravenclaw should be the champion of this year's House Cup, so Professor Flitwick brought a group of A large group of people began to decorate the auditorium.

Of course, he also invited Mike, but Mike refused with excuses.

In fact, there are quite a few people who refuse like Mike. The difference is that the reason for Mike's rejection is purely because he is lazy, while others are because of resentment towards Dumbledore.

In their original words, these arrangements will be changed by Dumbledore to Gryffindor anyway, so why do they bother?
It seems that Dumbledore's crazy behavior of adding points to Gryffindor at the end of the first year made everyone very dissatisfied. This resentment has not dissipated for a year.

However, Mike didn't think that Dumbledore would do what he did last year. After all, Ravenclaw's house points were too high this year, and Ravenclaw also won the Quidditch Cup this year. He won the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award. If Dumbledore dared to come to last year's show again this year, Mike can guarantee that Dumbledore's office will be flooded with shouting letters from the parents of the students the next day.

Surrounded by everyone in Ravenclaw, Mike came to Ravenclaw's long table and sat down calmly.

Because all the professors have not yet arrived, all the students present are chatting excitedly, and the Ravenclaw eaglets are no exception. Mike responded to the students' enthusiastic inquiries one by one, pay attention Instead, the force shifted to Hufflepuff's long table.

I saw two tall senior Hufflepuffs sitting next to Cedric, one on the left and one on the right, vigilantly observing anyone who communicated with Cedric. Their muscles were tense, as if Always ready to attack.

Cedric, who was among them, looked disappointed at the moment, staring blankly at the table.

It seems that Cedric's sequelae are still not healed.

Mike immediately made such a conclusion.

In the past two months, Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Pomfler have thought of countless ways to treat Cedric's sequelae, but none of them helped. The sequelae caused by this body deformation seem to be permanent.

Cedric's parents were heartbroken because their well-behaved son would never come back.

The current Cedric is completely a donkey, you can only follow along, if you offend him, his parents will also beat him, and he will not show mercy.

But not long ago, Professor McGonagall said that he had a new treatment plan, and he didn't know how it would work.

At this moment, Mike suddenly found that the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He looked up, and as expected, Dumbledore was leading McGonagall and others into the auditorium from the backstage of the auditorium, one by one in the teacher-only seats. Sit down.

To Mike's surprise, there was a person Mike didn't know in the teaching team behind Dumbledore.

This is a middle-aged woman, she wears a pair of glasses inlaid with gemstones, and her blond hair, which is brighter than Mike's, has been curled into delicate curls, but this hairstyle is matched with her big hair. The exaggerated chin looks so weird.

The most unacceptable thing to Mike was her nails. She didn't know what the purpose was. She actually left a full 6 cm long nails, and even painted them with red to bright paint. Now Extremely disgusting.

Before Mike figured out who she was, all the professors on the stage had already taken their seats, and Dumbledore also walked to his exclusive lecture seat and began the speech before the dinner.

"Students, it's the annual year-end dinner again. I believe everyone must be in a happy mood at the moment." Dumbledore continued after a pause, "Of course, except for those students who didn't pass the exam. To face angry parents."

As soon as this remark was made, there was a burst of laughter from the audience. Of course, Mike didn't laugh. He really couldn't get the point of this kind of cold British joke.

"Okay, let's stop here for the gossip, and let's get into tonight's highlight. The final winner of this year's Hogwarts House Cup is Ravenclaw House!"

On the long table belonging to Ravenclaw, the little eagles who used to be quiet in the past cheered like crazy at this moment, and even a few students jumped onto the long table triumphantly, and were then surrounded by other students. The students who hadn't lost their minds were pulled down.

Mike noticed that Professor Flitwick, who was on the teacher's seat, was also relieved after hearing the result announced by Dumbledore. It seemed that he was also worried about what happened last year.

Dumbledore did not stop the cheers of the Ravenclaw crowd, and he smiled and waited for the crowd to calm down before continuing: "And Ravenclaw Academy also won the Quidditch Cup this year, achieving the goal of Hogwarts' founding school. It is really gratifying to congratulate the achievement of the double crown, which is very rare!"

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore and the professors applauded.

Under their leadership and demonstration, this time not only the students of Ravenclaw, but also the students of the other three colleges gave their applause.

Among them, everyone in Hufflepuff was the most enthusiastic under the leadership of Cedric, while Gryffindor seemed a little cold in comparison, and Slytherin was just as perfunctory as their dean. No one was moved, and only a very few people clapped, but it was just an action, and Mike didn't hear a sound of applause coming from the long table of Slytherin.

After a long time, Dumbledore stopped and made a quiet gesture.

Dumbledore's status in the hearts of everyone at Hogwarts was indeed the most lofty, and just a few seconds after he made that gesture, the entire auditorium fell silent again.

At this moment, Dumbledore did not speak immediately, but looked up at the transparent ceiling above the auditorium reflecting the beautiful starry sky outside the castle, and remained silent for a long time.

His unusual behavior immediately made the atmosphere in the auditorium serious, and the young wizards below subconsciously slowed down their breathing, waiting for Dumbledore's next speech.
