Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 206 New Home
That day, Mike and Professor Flitwick lived directly in the Foley Manor, because their tea party went on until the evening.

Although the time is long and most of the conversation is old, Mike, with his adult soul, still listens with gusto.

Because the few people here are not ordinary people, Professor Flitwick will not talk about it. Uncle Mario is the patriarch of the Foley family. It can be said that Mike has benefited a lot from their conversation.

And after this day's tea party, Mike also learned more about the Foley family.

Abt's mother died in childbirth while giving birth to his younger sister Ailian, and after that Uncle Mario never remarried, which is why his younger sister Ailian has always blamed herself.

But in the entire Forli family, Ailian is the most favored, because she is not only the little princess of the Forli family, but also looks exactly like Abt's mother.

When Mike asked about Princess Ailian's appearance, Abbott and Uncle Mario all praised Ailian to the sky.And Uncle Mario also directly stated that he would introduce Ailian to Mike when he came back, and if Mike had the ability to catch up with Ailian, he would also be willing to be Mike's father-in-law.

Of course, Mike said it was a joke, but he was like a mirror in his heart.

There's a good chance that Uncle Mario is serious.

In order to keep the bloodline pure, the Foley family married in a small circle for many years, which caused their fertility to drop drastically. Now there are only 3 members of the entire Foley family's direct line, so they urgently need fresh blood from outside.

And ordinary Muggle-born wizards look down on them, but Mike, the little guy who has gained fame recently, is very suitable to be recruited as a door-to-door son-in-law.

At that time, their Foley family will not only prostitute a top wizard for free, but also improve their genes, which will kill two birds with one stone.

To this, Mike just wanted to say, sugar-coated cannonballs, I sugar-coated the cannonballs and sent them back, wanting to make me a son-in-law?That is impossible!

Early the next morning, Mike woke up in a guest room on the east side of Foley Manor.

Because Mike is used to sleeping on his side, when he opened his eyes, he saw a small house elf wearing a black and white beret carefully placing a tray with hot milk and toast beside the bed on the bedside table.

Mike's sudden waking up seemed to startle the little guy, and he got under the bed with a scream.

Mike, who just woke up and was not quite sober, looked at Beta's operation with a dazed expression. After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "Uh, Beta, right!"

"Yes Master!"

A high-pitched voice came from under Mike's bed, and then a huge head appeared from the side of the bed little by little.

"what time is it now?"

"Seven thirty-eight, master!"

"Why did you come to bring me breakfast, the house elf in Foley Park?"

As soon as this remark came out, Beta became excited, and saw that he stood up straight all of a sudden, looked at Mike like a puppy who just came back from picking up a ball, and looked at Mike and said: "Those house elves are all hands and feet. If you don't worry about it, you will take their jobs!"

Seeing Beta almost sticking out his tongue, Mike, who has lived with Lolo for a long time, naturally understood what it meant, reached out and gently touched Beta's smooth forehead and praised: "It's really good, Thank you."

Mike's action seemed to trigger some mechanism, and Beta's big eyes were filled with tears immediately, and then it frantically pulled its ears, shouting, "Master praised me!" ' On the other hand, he ran out of Mike's room, leaving only Mike with a dazed look on his face again.

But five minutes later, Mike's door was opened again.

Pushing the door open was Shu Ke who was holding hot water towels and other toiletries in his hand, while Beta followed behind his brother dejectedly, obviously he had just been educated badly.

"Master, please wash up." Beta controlled the basin to float in front of Mike with a solemn face, and then said, "Please forgive Beta, he is really too skinny, I have taught him a lesson before."

"No, no, it's good for Shu Ke, but you don't have to be too cautious." Mike said while washing, "You all know that I'm Muggle-born, so I'm not used to messing around. It’s a family, we support each other and help each other.”

To be honest, Mike's words of buying people's hearts were extremely perfunctory, especially since he was still washing up while saying this, so it seemed even more insincere.

Anyone with an online IQ and EQ can see that Mike is talking politely, but it was such an extremely insincere polite talk that moved Beta to tears again, because his brother Beta It didn't happen like last time.

Even the unsmiling Shu Ke had red eyes, obviously very moved.

And Mike started to enjoy breakfast after washing up, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and said to Shu Kebeta who was waiting beside him: "By the way, you all should be able to change shape, right? "

"Of course, Master."

"Then can you lead people to Apparate?"

"I'm sorry master, because Beta usually neglects to exercise, so I am the only one who can lead people for the time being, and with my current magic power, I can only lead one person at a time."

After finishing speaking, Beta on the side lowered her head in frustration. For a house elf, not being able to share the master's worries is the greatest shame.

Mike waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to worry about it, and then he began to meditate.

Both house elves and goblins can use magic, but their magic system is completely different from that of wizards, which is why they don't need wands to cast spells.

This does not mean that they cannot use magic wands. In fact, magic wands are like a powerful magic amplifier. Goblins have always longed to have the technology to make magic wands, and wizards rely on magic wands to defeat many magical creatures. singing.Therefore, wizards never allow other creatures to use magic wands. For this reason, goblins and wizards broke out several wars. Of course, the result is that wizards with magic wand blessings will win.

All wands are now crafted with restrictions in place to ensure that other creatures cannot use the wand.

On the other hand, since the magic system of house-elves is different from that of wizards, their apparition is also different.Their apparition can even ignore the space restriction of Hogwarts, so it can be used in Hogwarts. The reason is that the space restriction of Hogwarts is aimed at humans, but it has no defense against magical creatures.

This is good news for Mike, because it means that his mobility in Hogwarts will be greatly enhanced in the future. If he wants to go outside the school during school, he no longer needs to report. Shadow shifting will do.

After finishing his breakfast, Mike waved Shuke and Beta back, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Mario, he returned to Godric's Hollow with Professor Flitwick.

However, Flitwick and Mike didn't stay for long after being teleported to Flitwick's home through the fireplace, and went out to find Mike's new home.

Professor Flitwick was very familiar with the entire Godric's Hollow, so he took Mike straight to Godric's Hollow No. 518.

What appeared in front of Mike was a somewhat dilapidated villa. From the outside, this villa was much larger than Professor Fleetwey's house. It was a standard English-style villa with two and a half floors, with an attic.

The part near the road outside the villa is surrounded by wooden fences. Due to the disrepair of these fences, the white paint on them has fallen off a lot and looks mottled.

The garden inside the fence is also overgrown with weeds because it has not been maintained for a long time. Mike even saw many goblins playing happily in the grass.

Mike and Professor Flitwick looked at each other and walked towards the villa, but Professor Flitwick was unmoved.

"Mike, this villa has protective spells. Anyone who steps into this villa without the owner's permission will be attacked, so you have to allow me to enter the villa first."

Flitwick looked at Mike with some helplessness, and at this moment Mike patted his head as if he suddenly realized, opened the door of the villa and bowed to Flitwick, making a gesture of welcome from the head guard of the hotel.

He didn't say that Mike would have forgotten about it. This villa, which was originally used as a safe house, was very well protected. Even a top wizard like Professor Flitwick stepped into the villa rashly. Trouble.

And it also has a Muggle repelling spell, so Muggles without magical powers cannot see this villa.In their eyes, this place is just a wasteland.Even, they don't even see the wasteland, and the existence of this villa is completely zero in their eyes.

Stepping into the villa with Professor Flitwick, Mike realized that compared to the bad appearance outside, the situation inside the villa was actually not bad.

The ground on the first floor of the villa is paved with marble with complex patterns. Since no one took care of it for a long time, there was a thick layer of dust on it.But when Mike swept away a large piece of dust, he was surprised to find that the marble floor here did not have any traces of splicing, as if it was paved with a whole piece of marble.

The floors on the second floor are dark wooden floors. Compared with the marble floors on the first floor, their condition is a bit worrying. Many places are damaged, and Mike has decided to replace them in the future.

The furniture in the villa is all available, and because the previous users covered them with a dustproof white cloth before leaving, the furniture is in good condition.

Generally speaking, this is still a very good villa, of course, it also has its shortcomings.

First of all, although this villa looks much larger than Flitwick's home, because there is no traceless stretching spell attached to it, the actual area is much smaller than that of Flitwick's home.

Secondly, because this villa was used as a safe house before, the fireplace in the villa is just a very ordinary fireplace, and it is not connected to the Floo network of the Ministry of Magic (a magical transportation network that links various fireplaces). Use the fireplace to teleport.

Of course, these are minor issues.

Currently only Mike and two house elves live in this villa, so there is enough space.

The problem with the Floo Network is more troublesome, because the application for the Floo Network needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic, and the British Ministry of Magic is notoriously inkblot. It may take ten days and a half months for ordinary people to apply.

However, Professor Flitwick has already helped him consider this point, so he has already asked the students in the Ministry of Magic who specialize in handling the Floo network, and the installers will come here to install the Floo network tomorrow at the latest.

After rejecting Professor Flitwick's request to stay and clean together and send him away, Mike stood in the living room on the first floor of the villa and snapped his fingers:

"Shuck, Beta."

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Shuke and Beta appeared in front of him out of thin air, bowing together to say hello to him.

"Okay, this is our home from now on." Mike looked around and said to them, "How can the new house be so dirty! Then let's start cleaning!"

The word "our home" obviously stimulated Shu Ke and Beta's fragile nerves, and they raised their hands and shouted "Hello" before starting to clean.

Their cleaning method is very special, basically they don't need to do it themselves. Generally, except for those particularly valuable things that they need to wipe carefully by themselves, they rely on magic to complete tasks such as cleaning the floor.

I saw them shuttling through the villa like phantoms, and with the waving of their arms, a gust of wind blew inside the villa.

The gust of wind swept up all the dust on the floor and furniture, and flew out along the open door to nowhere.

They treated the weeds and goblins in the garden more meticulously, throwing their hands towards the garden, and then large pieces of black powder appeared out of thin air and flew towards the weeds.

As soon as it came into contact with the black powder, the lush weeds quickly withered, and were finally uprooted and piled aside.

Perhaps those goblins hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and after discovering the abnormality in the garden, they all got out of the ground to check the situation outside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Ke's little hand grabbed dozens of goblins and crushed them to death, while the rest of the goblins all fled back underground.

Seeing this, Shu Ke didn't chase them anymore. The tunnels of these goblins are very complicated. If they want to completely eradicate them, they have to go to Diagon Alley to buy potions specially used to kill goblins, so he is not in a hurry at this moment.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Mike rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help out.

But as soon as he showed his intention to help, Shuke and Beta started to bang their heads against the wall together, as if if you said you wanted to work, we would commit suicide together.

Seeing this, Mike had no choice but to take back his wand. Seeing that he couldn't help here, he threw Shuke a traceless stretching spell bag containing 100 gold Galleons as a fund for purchasing daily items, and then left the villa. At Professor Flitwick's.

And when Mike came back after dinner at night, he saw that the villa that was originally a mess had changed drastically at this moment.
