Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 199 The Conversation in the Car
The next day, Mike fell asleep until noon before finally waking up.

Although today was Hogwarts' summer vacation, Mike was not in a hurry. He got up slowly, brushed his teeth and washed his hands. He didn't pick up his suitcase and leave his dormitory until Franklin knocked on the door to urge him.

Unlike Harry and the others, Mike finished packing his luggage early, so he was able to take it easy now.

In fact, Mike didn't have much luggage to pack. His small suitcase was full of non-marking stretch spell bags, most of which were filled with Galleons, and the rest were filled with some daily necessities.

Today he was leaving school with the other students on the Hogwarts Express.

Yes, he wasn't going to stay at Professor Flitwick's house any longer this year.

This is not because Professor Flitwick didn't invite Mike to live in his house this year, but because Mike feels that he needs a private space that is completely his own. After all, some secrets about him can't be revealed to Professor Flitwick now.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Franklin looking at him anxiously, and there was a huge suitcase half as tall as a person on the ground beside him.

"Let's go, the train is about to leave!"

Seeing that Mike finally got up, Franklin yelled loudly, picked up his suitcase and rushed out of the lounge.

Mike shook his head helplessly as he watched Franklin dragging a huge suitcase as he walked like flying. This is the biggest difference between Muggle-born wizards and wizards who grew up in the wizarding world.

Muggle-born wizards like Franklin have not subconsciously adapted to the fact that they have become wizards, so when faced with many things that can be easily solved with magic, they will instinctively use Muggle's clumsy methods to deal with it .

Just like the simple carrying of luggage now, those young wizards who lived in the wizarding world had already used the floating spell, but Franklin still foolishly used the hand.

When Mike arrived at the station, the place was already overcrowded. Franklin, who had arrived earlier, was already sweating profusely, and was sitting on the ground panting for breath without a trace.

It was a coincidence that Mike came. The Hogwarts Express train blew its horn just as the front foot came and the back foot. The whistling whistle rang throughout the station, letting all the little wizards know that it was time to get on the train.

After helping Franklin who was like a dead dog, Mike followed the team and slowly entered the carriage.

And Franklin, who had rested for a long time, gradually regained some strength. He obviously felt a little embarrassed to be supported by Mike to walk in front of everyone, so he broke away from Mike's hand.

Mike didn't care either, and slowly followed the team onto the train, then found a box and walked in.

As soon as he opened the door of the compartment, Mike was taken aback for a moment, only to see two men and a woman sitting firmly in the narrow compartment, they were our rescue trio.

When Harry and Ron saw Mike and Franklin walking in, excited smiles appeared on their faces, while Hermione's reaction was completely opposite to the two. The moment they saw Mike, their complexions became extremely pale, and they swiped. He stood up and ran out of the box, and bumped into Mike when he passed by Mike, which made Mike a little at a loss.

He called Hermione twice and didn't return Mike's head, so he stopped paying attention to her, and entered the carriage with Franklin.

Everyone helped Franklin put the luggage away together. It was not until this time that Franklin asked Mike about his luggage.

"Why did you only take such a small suitcase?"

He asked Harry and Ron's attention to the small suitcase that Mike was carrying. Harry and Franklin had similar reactions. They were both wondering why Mike's suitcase was so small, but Ron just had a look on his face. He looked at Mike enviously.

Although Ron, who came from a pure-blooded family, had a poor family background, he still knew a lot about the container of the Untraceable Stretching Curse, so he asked:

"This is the traceless stretching spell box, right?"

Mike didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile.

He can't say that this is just an ordinary box, but it's just filled with traceless stretching spell bags, right?

You must know that this kind of space container is generally quite expensive because it is too difficult to release the traceless stretching spell.

A traceless stretching spell suitcase with a space of 1 cubic meter inside requires at least three digits of Galleons to buy, which can be said to be a huge sum of money for an average wizard family.

And because it is much more difficult to cast the Untraceable Stretch Charm on a bag than on a suitcase, the price of an Untraceable Stretch Charm bag of the same volume is almost twice as expensive as that of an Untraceable Stretch Charm bag.

It is worth mentioning that you can’t buy a space container with a capacity of more than 10 cubic meters at all in the market, such as an extremely portable space container such as a traceless stretching spell bag.

Because these large-capacity containers have been monopolized by those large families, ordinary people simply cannot touch them.

If Ron knew that there were more than a dozen traceless stretching spell bags in Mike's box, and that the bags were all filled with gold Galleons, he might have hugged Mike's thigh and couldn't speak at this moment.

Mike didn't want to talk too much about this, so he started to change the subject after putting down the suitcase.

"What happened to Hermione just now?" Mike asked, "Are you fighting again?"

"Actually, it's because of you this time."

Ron's answer made Mike a little overwhelmed. During this period of time, he basically didn't meet Hermione much, and he didn't even remember when he offended Hermione again.

"Didn't you kill a lot of acromantulas and centaurs in the Forbidden Forest last time?" Ron said while stuffing Bibi's multi-flavored beans into his mouth, "Hagrid has already told us all these things, Hermione is angry because of this."

As soon as this remark came out, Mike immediately put on a black question mark expression, he didn't understand what was so angry about it.

Seeing that Mike still didn't understand, Ron explained: "Hagrid said a lot of bad things about you at the time, and Hermione must have been persuaded by him. After he came back, he pulled us and told us that a lot of magical creatures and humans are equal. Kind of strange words. By the way, she also said that you are a butcher!
Of course, I think you're doing the right thing Mike.Those giant eight-eyed spiders are so terrifying!Only Hagrid and Hermione would think they are harmless, and you are right to wipe them all out! "

Hearing this, Mike also understands why Hermione has such an attitude towards him now. Hermione is really a bit too holy, and she has compassion for creatures weaker than him.

To put it mildly, she can be said to be kind-hearted, but Mike thinks that Hermione has never been beaten by society, let alone creatures like centaur and acromant who are obviously hostile to humans. Take human beings as an example. If you have no bottom line to sympathize with those weak, what you get in return is to a large extent only revenge.

As the saying goes, people are never satisfied, and people will never know how to be satisfied. If you help others without a bottom line, they will only take it for granted. Once you stop this kind of help, others will not be satisfied. I don't understand you.

In their minds, I am weak and I am reasonable is a very common thought.

However, what Mike is more curious about is why Ron is so supportive of him in this matter. You must know that the relationship between Ron and Mike is not very good, and they even had a big fight because of Percy's matter.

But Mike understood after seeing the panic expression on Ron's face unconsciously when he talked about the Octopus.

I once heard the Weasley brothers mention that their little brother Ron is most afraid of spiders, and their favorite thing to do is to scare Ron with spider toys, so for Ron, Mike killed him this time. So many acromantia really helped him a lot.

Otherwise, knowing that so many giant spiders were active within less than 10 kilometers of him, Ron might not be able to sleep at night.

"Thank you Ron." Mike said with a smile, "I don't think I did anything wrong, those acromantulas are completely evil creatures, and with their amazing reproduction speed, if they continue to let them go If we don’t care about it, other creatures in the Forbidden Forest will suffer, and the casualties will be even greater.”

"That's it!"

Ron's eyes started to light up when he heard this, and he echoed Mike excitedly.In his opinion, all spiders in this world should go to hell.

At this moment, Mike also noticed that Harry on the side had been hesitant to speak since they started talking about things in the Forbidden Forest, so he asked about Harry's situation, but Harry's answer made Mike feel uncomfortable. Some surprises.

"I know that acromantids are evil creatures that shouldn't exist in the Forbidden Forest. But why did you kill those centaurs." Harry asked, frowning tightly, "Hagrid said that those centaurs were right You were no threat at all, and even the centaurs were running away when he came, but you killed them all."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the box immediately became dull. Franklin stopped teasing Ah Fu above his head, and Ron put down the snacks in his hand, and everyone looked at the silent Mike.

"Harry, my situation was quite critical at that time. My injuries were not healed at the time. After a battle with Percy who was controlled by black magic, my physical strength and magic power had reached their limits." Silence It took a long time for Mike to say sincerely, "And the support from Hogwarts is far away, so I don't have time to distinguish which centaurs are enemies and which are friends one by one. If the enemies are put back, What if it turns back and brings more enemies?"

Mike's explanation was well-founded, and Harry was persuaded by him. Although he was still in a bad mood, he had let go of the grudges deep in his heart, stopped talking about this matter, and started talking about other topics .

Seeing this, Mike was also relieved. In fact, the situation at that time was not as critical as he said to Harry. With the strength of those centaurs, even if they had twice as many troops, they would not be able to do anything to Mike.

In fact, the reason why he killed all the centaurs at that time was because of anger.

Angry at those centaurs attacking him first.

Harry and Hermione may have sympathy for the centaur because they are intelligent creatures like humans, but Mike doesn't think so. In his heart, the centaur is an enemy just like those acromants.When dealing with enemies, Mike will never show mercy.

Time passed quickly in the chatting of the four, and in the second half of the journey, Penello also completed her work as a prefect to maintain order and came to Mike's box to join in the chatting with Mike and others.

Oh, right.

The normal box on the Hogwarts Express only has four seats, so I don't need to say where Penello sits.

Franklin is better. Since he is often with Mike, he has eaten enough of Mike and Penello's dog food, and his resistance has been greatly improved.

It was the first time for Harry and Ron to encounter such a scene. It was obviously uncomfortable to see Mike and Penello flirting with each other in front of them, and they even talked a lot less.

Mike naturally noticed the strangeness of these two people, but he didn't restrain himself. On the contrary, he even intensified.Those sweet words and bold actions made Harry and Ron, who were still innocent boys at this time, blush like a year.

Fortunately, the speed of the Hogwarts Express was indeed very fast, and it reached the end soon.

Harry and Ron picked up their luggage almost as soon as the train arrived at the station, said goodbye to Mike and others, and rushed out of the carriage.

And Penello and Mike laughed when they saw their performance.

"You are too bad."

Penello poked Mike's cheek coquettishly.

For this, Mike just chuckled and didn't speak, just kidding, isn't it normal for couples to have intimacy?If they have the ability, they can find one themselves, otherwise, don't blame others for giving them dog food.

You see how good Franklin is. He has been teasing Ah Fu since Penelope came along the way, ignoring Mike and Penelope on the side. The fighting experience is obviously much richer than that of Harry and Ron.

At this moment, Franklin on the side also picked up his luggage, and said to Mike: "Okay, I'm leaving too. Mike, if you don't want to stay at Professor Flitwick's house, you can come to my house, or , you still want to live at Penello's house?"

After all, he glanced at Penello with some ambiguous eyes, and Penello buried his head in Mike's arms shyly.

"I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

Hearing that Franklin's eyes suddenly opened wide, he said in surprise, "You really don't want to live at Penello's house, do you?"

"Fuck off!"

Mike kicked Franklin angrily, and the latter jumped away from Mike's kick, and ran out of the car laughing.
