Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 222 Black's News
"Why did you come down? Didn't I remember that I said that I will entertain important guests tonight, so please don't go downstairs?"

Tom patted himself on the forehead and said half helplessly and half angrily.

However, Harry looked at Mike in surprise as if he hadn't heard what he said at all, and said to himself:

"Mike?"

Harry was a little unsure if the blond boy in front of him was Mike. After all, he had the impression that Mike was slender, and even though the boy in front of him was wearing a loose wizard robe, Harry could still see that he had a large body. Big muscles.

"Long time no see, Harry." Mike was also slightly taken aback when he saw Harry, but he quickly reacted and asked intentionally, "Shouldn't you be at your aunt's house? Why did you come here?"

Although Mike had a smile on his face, his brain was running at high speed.

He is familiar with the original work, of course he knows what Harry's appearance here represents, which means that the plot of the third grade has officially begun.

"Is it really you? My God! I miss you so much!"

Mike's answer made Harry confirm his guess, so Harry, who had been locked up at home for a long time and hadn't seen his friends, came to Mike directly in three steps and two steps, and gave Mike a warm hug.

Tom on the side was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the famous savior Harry Potter would know Mike. After all, the two of them are not from the same college.

But he quickly realized that it seemed that Harry and Mike had a very good relationship, so could he use this to please Mike?
Just do it when you think about it, Tom put on a flattering smile and said to Harry, "Harry, I didn't expect you to be Mr. Townley's friend. Why didn't you say it earlier? How about it, yours." I will waive all the accommodation expenses for you! Who told me to be good friends with Mr. Townley!"

Tom's impassioned look stunned Harry for a moment. He could remember clearly that although Boss Tom in front of him was not a stingy person, he was definitely not generous. Even because he was a minor without a guardian, Tom also asked for an extra sum of money as a handling fee for the accommodation.

He was just about to say something when he heard Mike say lightly: "Okay, Tom, I know what you want. You can talk to Weasley and the others about the details of the dealership contract tomorrow, and just say that I have agreed on the whole." .Now, please serve us some food, I need to catch up with my friends. Oh yes, by the way, give me a copy of the last week’s Daily Prophet.”

Hearing this, Tom was overjoyed, and after thanking Mike, he came to the back kitchen with small steps.

Today, he is going to cook for the two of them himself.

And taking advantage of this time, Mike also learned the reason why Harry appeared here. As Mike expected, it was roughly the same as the original book.

"That is to say, your uncle's family often bullied you, and then you finally couldn't bear it a few days ago, so you blew up your aunt into a big balloon and floated up. Then when you ran away from home and came to the broken When the Cauldron Bar arrives, the Minister of Magic will find you and ask you to stay here first and not run around?"

"That's right! That's it!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and said so.

Due to being too excited, he just described the bizarre events that happened to him during this period of time. After he finished speaking, he was still a little worried that Mike would not be able to understand, but he did not expect that Mike's ability to understand was so strong. I understand.

Telling everything to Mike, the anger on Harry's face lessened a little, but he still couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know what Minister Fudge thinks, obviously last year because of the house elf Dobby He gave me a warning notice about the matter, saying that if I cast magic outside the school again, I will be expelled, and now he tells me that this matter is a trivial matter..."

Harry told Mike a lot of things, and Mike could only nod and perfunctory. Maybe it was a magical experience for him, but for Mike it was just a story that he had seen several times. The storyline is pretty boring.

It was the first time for Mike to discover that Harry, a little scepter, was actually a talker.

Fortunately, old Tom had already prepared Harry's supper and Mike's newspaper at this time, and brought them to them.

"Okay, Harry. In short, people won't fire you now, so it's okay if the result is good? Do you still want the Minister to fire you with justice? Well, eat quickly, aren't you hungry? Is it?" Mike pushed the food in front of Harry and said, "Tom, go and rest first, and Harry and I will have a chat alone."

The emotional intelligence of the bar that Tom has opened for so many years is naturally not low. After hearing Mike's resignation, he retreated to the bedroom upstairs, without any intention of eavesdropping.

He knew that sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous you are.

Harry was also really hungry, he swallowed when he saw the hot food being brought up, and started fighting.And Mike took advantage of Harry's rare opportunity to be quiet and read the newspaper.

After looking through it for a while, Mike saw the information he was looking for, and saw the same message written on the front page for almost a week...

'Shock!Notorious murderer Blake escapes from prison!Azkaban's abilities are called into question for the first time. '

Sirius Black once blatantly used the Explosive Curse on the street to kill a dozen Muggles and the famous anti-Voldemort fighter Peter Pettigrew, and betrayed the famous Order of the Phoenix member, the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter Parents James Potter and Lily Potter.

Please note that Sirius Black is extremely dangerous, if the public finds out, please leave the scene immediately and notify the Ministry of Magic.

It is reported that the Minister of Magic Fudge has now assured the public that Sirius will be brought to justice, and Minister Fudge also said that Sirius’ escape from prison is likely to avenge his master, and the target of revenge is The Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter!
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic is preparing to cooperate deeply with Hogwarts to capture Black while protecting Harry Potter's safety.

……

Mike looked through all the newspapers carefully, and then he let out a sigh of relief and put down the newspapers.

It's fine if Black escapes. Only when he escapes can Mike take advantage of his familiarity with the plot to maximize his benefits.

Speaking of which, Sirius Black is really a tragic figure. He and Harry's father James were inseparable friends at the beginning. When Voldemort was looking for Harry because of a prophecy, James and the others decided to use a super powerful Protective magic protects itself.

This magic is the Fidelity Charm.

As we all know, the Fidelity Curse requires a secret keeper. In the original plan, Sirius was James and his secret keeper.

However, when things came to an end, Blake came up with a crooked idea and asked their other friend, the timid Peter Pettigrew, to be the secret keeper.

Black felt that no one would have thought that they would choose Peter as the secret keeper. Strictly speaking, he had guessed correctly. The Death Eaters had been looking for Peter for a long time, but he overestimated the friendship between them.

Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potters and threw the big black pot on Black. Afterwards, Black was imprisoned for more than ten years, while Peter hid in the Weasleys' house as their little pet.

In the original book, the reason why Blake escaped from prison was because the Weasleys won the lottery, and the group photo was published in the newspaper, and this photo was seen by Blake.

He recognized Peter lying in Ron's arms almost immediately, so he escaped from prison, vowing to kill Peter to avenge his best friend.

Of course, this is only the original work, perhaps because of the butterfly effect, the Weasleys in the world Mike lives in didn't win any big prizes this year, but they made it to the newspaper because of Rita Skeeter's interview.

Mike was still worried that Black would not see this report, but now that the main line of the world is still inertial, Black still escaped after all.

In addition, Mike also saw news about Dolphin in this pile of newspapers.

The headline was as startling as Blake's report above 'Shocked!The boy suddenly went crazy and killed the whole family!The boy was suspected of being abused by his father for a long time! '.

However, the location and size of this report are pitifully small compared with the Black prison escape case, and can only be squeezed into a corner.If Mike hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have found this report.

At the end of the report, although the final result of the treatment was not stated, it can basically be concluded that Dolphin has gone crazy due to long-term abuse. Now the question everyone is struggling with is whether to lock him into Azka class.

Mike chuckled and put down the newspaper.

As for Dolphin, it was all in his expectation.

Raven Pappy is a long-extinct magical creature. There are no more than ten people in this world who are familiar with his killing methods, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can't find him.

And the incident with Black has become so big recently, compared to the case of the Dolphin family, it is not that important. This can be seen from the page of this report in the prophet forecast.

"What are you watching?" Harry, who was full of food and drink, poked his head and asked curiously, "Oh! So this is it! I saw this news on TV before!"

"Huh? You mean Muggle TV?"

"That's right, it's a dangerous murderer. If you see him, you must call the police."

Mike nodded thoughtfully and fell into deep thought again.

He didn't expect that a prison escape incident in the wizarding world would make the government of the Muggle world issue a tracking order.

It seems that there must be a certain degree of cooperation between the top management of the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government, so the wizarding world can use the power of the Muggle world to hunt down Black.

Of course, it is also possible that the Ministry of Magic has used a spell to control some powerful Muggles and modify their memories, making them really think that a murderer named Sirius Black has escaped from prison.

However, Mike still believes in the former. After all, the implementation of the latter is too troublesome. Once discovered, it will cause a violent counterattack from the top Muggles.

Mike felt that his trip was worthwhile. He not only pretended to be coercive, but also got such important news by accident.

So Mike, who was in a good mood, invited Harry.

"Harry, why don't you come to my house for the rest of the summer vacation? It just so happens that my new home has been furnished, and it's better to live in my place than here."

After finishing speaking, Mike stroked the corner of the bar with his fingers, looked at the fine ash on his hand and shook his hand in disgust.

"You bought a house! My God! You bought a house by yourself at a young age!" Harry looked at Mike in a daze, "And how did you become so strong, can you teach me? If I can If you are as strong as you, Dali won't dare to bully me anymore (give me one too)"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when you get to my house."

Harry fell silent. He wanted to go to Mike's house very much, but Fudge, the Minister of Magic, suggested that he live in the Leaky Cauldron.In the eyes of the young Harry, the Minister of Magic was equivalent to the leader of the fruit market. Although he was just a suggestion, Harry still didn't dare to go against his wishes.

Seeing this, Mike thought Harry was unwilling to go, so he decided to add another fire.

"Harry, I live in Godric's Hollow now. Maybe you don't know what this place is, but what I want to tell you is that your original home is there." Mike stared into Harry's eyes and said sincerely , "Also, Godric's Hollow is the preferred burial place for many pure-blood families, and your parents are also buried there."

Hearing this, Harry's eyes widened instantly, staring blankly at Mike, tears kept falling down one after another, but Harry didn't realize it, still looking stupid.

"Is what you said true?"

A hoarse voice came from Harry's throat, and Mike could hear his current sadness from his voice.

"Yes."

After receiving Mike's affirmative answer, Harry finally came to his senses. Before he could wipe away his tears, he grabbed Mike's clothes and dragged them towards the bar door.

However, with Mike's current strength, especially Harry, who has not been trained, can pull it.

"What are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Seeing Harry's eager look, Mike shook his head helplessly, pulled Harry back and pointed to the fireplace and said:

"Let's go to the Floo Internet Cafe, it's faster that way."

……

An hour later, Harry stood alone in front of his parents' grave, bowing his head in silence for a long time.

Mike, who was not far away, had a panoramic view of all this, and kicked away a piece of gravel on the ground in boredom.

This is the wizard cemetery in Godric's Hollow, where a large number of pure-blood wizards are eventually buried.

This cemetery is under the old church in Godric's Hollow. Perhaps because wizards often come here to worship their ancestors, this church has gradually been abandoned by the townspeople due to various bizarre haunting events.

The Lord's Church is actually haunted?
This seemed ridiculous to Mike.

But the townspeople obviously don't think so. Of course, maybe they just want a sustenance of faith.

Anyway, no matter what, after the church was abandoned, the townspeople built a new church for daily use.

And here, it has completely become the territory of wizards.

Another half an hour passed, and Mike sighed helplessly looking at Harry who was still motionless.

The thing he hates the most is waiting for someone. To be honest, he really wants to go up and persuade Harry to come back tomorrow, but the experience he has brought from his two lifetimes tells him that it is best for him to do nothing now, not to comfort Harry. Don't tell Harry to leave.

Just watching him quietly and being with him is enough.

Sighing again, Mike couldn't bear it anymore.

With a wave of his wand, Mike conjured up a bed with transfiguration, sat on it slowly, and started daily meditation and Occlumency spell training.
