Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 225 I Don't Like Cute Ones

In Florin's Cold Drink Shop in Diagon Alley, Mike and Harry, as well as the Weasley Brothers, Franklin, Penello, and a large group of people were sitting around eating cold drinks one bite at a time.

Penello's outfit today is similar to when he went out with Mike for the first time before, still wearing a pair of hot pants and short sleeves.

It's just that the difference from that time is that Penello wore longer short sleeves this time, and she didn't tuck the hem into the trousers.

Therefore, when she stands up, the long top hem will completely cover the hot pants, giving people the illusion that she is not wearing pants.

Mike gave her full marks for what she was wearing today.

But Franklin is a bit different today, perhaps because he has recently become obsessed with hip-hop music, and his overall style of clothing has also begun to approach those American hip-hop singers, which is quite exaggerated.

He feels very good about himself. Like Mike, wearing sunglasses and leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, he has the aura of a gangster.

Of course, this is just what he thinks.

In fact Mike felt that his attire, combined with his stocky build and complexion, made him look like a chimpanzee in clothes.

Withdrawing his gaze from Franklin, Mike glanced at the watch in his hand and sighed deeply.

They came out for a big purchase this time, and under Harry's suggestion, Mike invited everyone, and almost everyone agreed to come except Cedric and Abt.

Among them was Hermione.

It's just that their appointment time is 9 o'clock in the morning, and Hermione has been late for more than half an hour.

It has been almost half a month since I tried to use the Patronus Charm for the first time, and the summer vacation will end soon.

Mike, after all, still hasn't released the complete Patronus.

In this way, you might think that Mike's Patronus is good, after all, releasing a complete Patronus is the performance of the Patronus Mantra Mahayana.In fact, compared to other spells, Mike's Patronus spell learning progress is as slow as a snail.

This is the biggest setback Mike has encountered since he learned the spell.

What he released when he used the Patronus Charm for the first time couldn't be called a Patronus Charm at all. The density and brightness of the white mist was at best a light-weight fluorescent flash.

It was really a firefly glow, which was disappointing.

And after more than half a month of study, this firefly has evolved into a flashlight, although it is still useless.

Mike estimated not to mention Dementors, even Boggarts would not change face in front of this Patronus Charm.

This made Mike very irritable, but fortunately, his self-comforting ability was very good. Through constant psychological hints, he finally convinced himself to accept this fact.

In fact, Mike was very satisfied, at least he was not directly killed by backlash.Moreover, this kind of learning difficulty is worthy of the name of the Patronus Charm.

If the Patronus Charm were so easy to learn, it wouldn't be such a famous defensive spell.

In the original book, the reason why little wizards like Harry were able to learn the Patronus Charm and even release the complete Patronus, Mike guessed that they had Dumbledore cheating on them first, that is, they had a famous teacher to teach them.

The second is because they are relatively young.

The release of the Patronus Charm requires positive emotions such as happiness, and compared to adults, children's happiness is obviously purer, which may make it easier for them to release the Patronus Charm.

Rubbing Penello's outstretched hand under the table, Mike shook his head slightly.

It is a pity that the full version of the Patronus Charm cannot be released in a short time. He is very curious about what his Patronus will be.

However, in terms of practical effect, the Patronus Charm may not be the best solution for him to fight against dementors.Don't forget, he has the sword of victory and oath, and this holy sword has the effect of killing evil spirits.

So, is it useful against monsters like dementors?
Just as Mike was thinking about this question, a voice suddenly pulled his consciousness back.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Everyone looked up one after another, and saw Hermione in a small dress standing in front of them panting.

"Oh, that's great!" grumbled Ron, "we've been waiting for you here for almost an hour!"

"Don't say that, Ron!"

Harry quickly stopped Ron and continued.And Ron may have realized that it was not polite to do so, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

But Hermione obviously didn't take Ron's words to heart, and she was looking at Mike and Penello with piercing eyes.The angle she was standing at now happened to be able to see the little movements the two of them were making under the table.

Facing Hermione's gaze, Penello didn't feel shy at all, but instead held Mike's hand tightly with his backhand as if swearing sovereignty.

Mike was not as calm as Penello. Under Hermione's scum-like gaze, Mike coughed twice, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's set off quickly."

Ron cheered and rushed out of the cold drink shop. Mike had just paid him a lot of money not long ago. This was the first time in his life that he had so much money. He couldn't wait to go out and spend it now.

Compared with him, other people are much calmer, Franklin needless to say, he is poor.The Weasley brothers had already had a good time, so they were very indifferent.

Harry really deserves to be a little angel, although he himself is very yearning for today's shopping.But the life at Uncle Vernon's house gave him a strong ability to perceive words and emotions early on, which made him discover that Hermione was not in a high mood at a glance.

"Don't worry, Hermione. Ron is just tired of waiting." Harry patted Hermione on the shoulder, "Let's go, everyone has already set off."

Harry's nose kept twitching as he said this, and as soon as he got close to Hermione, he smelled a very good smell.He followed the scent and saw Hermione nodding at him with a pretty blushing face.

After Hermione nodded in agreement, she slowly followed the large army, while Harry froze in place.

He felt... Hermione today was a little different from usual, as if... she was more beautiful.

In fact, Harry's feeling is not wrong, the reason why Hermione is late today is because she spends too much time on her grooming.

Hermione didn't know why she had to dress up, and she didn't even know why she accepted Mike's invitation.

If she didn't come today, she wouldn't have seen the scene just now.

She blushed with shame at the thought of Mike and Penello's little actions under the table just now, and unconsciously raised her head to glance at Mike who was walking in the front, and then quickly lowered her little head.

Mike, who was walking in front, didn't notice Hermione's abnormality at all. Although Hermione was dressed very cutely today, it was a pity that he was not a pedophile.

And compared to cute, Mike prefers sexy women.

Isn't there a saying that says so?
Cute and pure are worthless in front of sexy.

He just likes sexy and good figure, just like Penello who is beside him now.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled evilly, and squeezed the hand on Penello's waist a little, in exchange for a beautiful white eye from the other party.

You see, sexy women look so good even when they roll their eyes.

A group of people came to the Lihen Bookstore in a mighty way. Now Mike is very strong because of his exercise. The T-shirt on his body is bulging with the muscles inside. Standing with Penello beside him It is a beautiful landscape, and I don't know how many people's eyes it has attracted along the way.

The owner of Lihen Bookstore saw Mike and Penello from a long distance away, and hurried out of the store to greet them.

He is no stranger to Mike, this is a new rich man, and he will definitely have good things when he comes.

"Good day, Mr. Townley." The boss said enthusiastically, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Oh, you're welcome, boss. We're here to buy some books for the new semester."

"Come here, please, we have packaged versions of Hogwarts for all grades here."

The boss brought everyone to a shelf in the store, where stacks of magic books were neatly placed, and the divisions were marked for different grades.

These are the compulsory courses for all grades, so everyone picked up a copy and ran away without too much hesitation.

But something went wrong when it came to elective courses.

When Ron asked the boss if he had any books on 'Protection of Magical Creatures', the boss's face darkened instantly.

"You want to buy that monster book?" The boss said with a black face, "Yes, yes, I can even give you the cost price, but the premise is that you have to get it yourself."

Hearing that Ron was overjoyed, the price of magic books was very expensive. If he could get the book at the cost price, he would undoubtedly save a lot of money.

However, Ron was dumbfounded when he saw the 'Monster Book of Monsters'.

In a huge iron cage, many monster books are stacked together. These monster books have furry covers, and there are four eyes side by side on the front, and as the books are opened and closed automatically, you can still read them. Looking at the sharp teeth inside, Ron can guarantee that a bite from them must be very painful.

In fact, these books do bite. They are biting each other now, and many books have been bitten.

Mike looked at Ron with a smirk on his face. He knew that just stroking the spine of the monster books could calm them down.

But why did he tell him?

Wouldn't it be good to make Ron suffer more?

Maybe it was because he noticed Mike's smirk, or maybe it was because of many things in the past two years that Mike formed the impression of omnipotence in Harry's mind.

I only heard Harry pleadingly saying: "Mike, can you think of a way?"

"Sorry, I can't do anything either."

"But...but don't you need to buy a copy?"

Mike didn't speak this time, but Franklin on the side was obviously distracted by Mike, and he replied gloatingly: "We have received the news a long time ago that the old professor of magical creatures with only one leg retired, and this year's professor is Hai grid. So none of us signed up for the class.”

After all, he and Mike looked at each other, and the two of them showed a sinister smile at the same time.

The Weasley brothers on the side also gathered around, seeing the slumped look on their little brother Ron's face, their reaction did not disappoint Mike.

I saw George stuffing a large dung fork into Ron's hand, and then George and Fred said to Ron with a smirk on their faces: "Come on Ron, hurry up! Go up and kill those horrible monsters!" monster book!"

"Yeah Ron! Come on! I can't wait to see you get bitten... no, I mean see you fighting bravely!"

Under the instigation of the two unscrupulous brothers, Ron finally rushed up holding the dung fork.

Half an hour later, Ron, whose clothes were bitten and tattered, grinned and walked out of the bookstore with two firmly bound monster books, and handed one of them to Hermione.

And behind him were the Weasley brothers and Mike, who were already laughing all over the place.

After experiencing this little episode, the atmosphere among the crowd finally became active, and even Hermione, who was sullen at first, began to have a smile on her face.

The only one who was unhappy was Ron, there was no place on his body that didn't hurt.

After he was almost relieved, Mike announced the next plan and split up.

He is in a group with Penello, and the others are in a group.

His move can be said to be well known to everyone in Sima Zhaozhi's mind, and a wretched smile appeared on the faces of the Weasley brothers.

But they didn't say much, they just dragged Harry and the others away. After all, they weren't devils, they insisted on being light bulbs.

As soon as they left, Mike let go completely, and the hand that was still sneaky was put on Penello's waist openly, and his body leaned over. This intimate behavior in the public made Penello whole. All froze.

Mike felt Penello's slight trembling, and couldn't help but smile.

After all, he was just a young man, and his skin was still too thin.

Fortunately, Mike didn't intend to embarrass Penello too much, and didn't make any further moves, so the two started their date like this.

It turns out that women like the same things, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics...

For a whole afternoon, Mike and Penello visited almost all the shops in Diagon Alley, and Mike, who was not short of money, would naturally not be stingy, as long as Penello's eyes stayed on something for more than Three seconds, then Mike will buy it without hesitation.

Due to the fire of Dolphin's magic drink some time ago, the name of Mike, the big boss behind the scenes, was also spread among these bosses, so there was no bloody pretense and slap in the face during the shopping.

Generally, as long as Mike came to these shops, the bosses and clerks would rush up to say hello with red eyes, wishing to confess Mike as an ancestor.

And Mike achieved what he wanted to achieve by doing this. When Mike and Penello finished shopping and returned to the Leaky Cauldron Bar to meet with everyone, Penello no longer resisted Mike's dishonest hands.

Even, sometimes she will take the initiative...

Oh, woman.

Mike and Penello had a fruitful trip, and the others were not bad either.

With the sponsorship of his two older brothers, Ron finally owned the first-hand broomstick in his life, the Nimbus 2000.

And Hermione hugged an ugly cat with all its features collapsed together.

Mike noticed that from the time they met at the Leaky Cauldron until they said goodbye to each other and left the Leaky Cauldron, Penello's eyes kept falling on the cat from time to time.

So he leaned close to Penello's ear and said, "I'll buy you one later. What kind of cat do you want? Blue cat? English short? Ragdoll? Oh! Or let's raise a big black dog."

"Big black dog?"

Penello looked at Mike in surprise. She didn't understand why she said something well before, but why a big black dog suddenly appeared.

Mike didn't have much reaction to Penelope's question. At this time, he was staring at a corner of the corner, where a dirty big black dog was poking its head furtively, watching Harry walked away slowly.

"It's nothing."

A wicked smile appeared on Mike's face, and he answered Penello's question perfunctorily. Then, he watched the big black dog stretch out its scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

'Ah, black dog.I really miss it. '
