Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 231 Buckbeak
"Then can you help me?"

Seeing Harry's excited look, Mike smiled happily.

Sure enough, Harry was still that innocent little angel, still so innocent.

"Of course, but I still need to prepare some things." Mike said confidently, "Well, after I find the venue, I will call some people, and we will learn the Patronus Charm together. Maybe I can convince Lupine The professor came to teach us."

Facing what Mike said about finding Lupine to teach Harry, Harry didn't care. Because the professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts were generally not high in the past two years, even though Lupine performed very well on the train, Harry Still have doubts about Lupine's teaching level.

And Lupine is a professor, he is very busy, why did he come to teach you at night for no reason?
Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Harry didn't show it on the surface, but thanked Mike very politely.

Seeing this, Mike didn't intend to continue on this topic. If Harry insisted on teaching him tonight, he would be done with it tonight, and his Patronus Charm hadn't been practiced yet.

Noticing that Harry was still a little frowning after learning about the Patronus spell, Mike said with a thought: "What happened to you today, did anything else happen?"

It was fine if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Harry couldn't hold back any longer, and told Mike all the bad things that happened to him today like peas.

Since Harry is really not a good storyteller, and there is a strong subjective desire in what he said, it took Mike a long time to understand what happened today.

It turned out that Harry and others went to their first divination class this morning. Everyone was happily doing divination experiments, making up strange stories to deceive each other, and having a great time.

However, the professor of divination, the professor Sybil Trelawney who made the legendary prophecy, jumped out and predicted that Harry would die!

If someone else said Harry, they would definitely take it as a joke, but this was a prophecy made by the divination professor, and the other party said it clearly, even saying that he had seen a big black dog.

This made Harry a little skeptical.

However, this was not the worst part. It was Hagrid's first class in the afternoon, and Harry and others went to cheer Hagrid up.

The usual protection of magical creatures classes are mostly the study of theoretical knowledge. Even if you want to get in touch with living magical creatures, they are small creatures like Bowtruckle and Fox Meizi, which are not very lethal and relatively cute in appearance.

But Hagrid didn't follow the usual path, or his aesthetic outlook was completely different from the public's. He even brought a living Hippogriff here!

As the name suggests, a hippogriff is a creature with the head and claws of an eagle, the body of a horse, the tail of a lion, and a pair of large, feathered wings.

This creature is actually a hybrid product of a griffin and a mare. It is huge and has a certain degree of aggressiveness, but because it has the blood of a griffin, it can also be tamed as a mount.

Based on the above reasons, the Ministry of Magic gave it a danger rating of 3x, which meant that capable wizards could deal with this creature.

In fact, Hagrid was already very conservative, and Mike was surprised that he didn't directly pull out a 4x or even 5x creature.

Dealing with this kind of creature is actually very simple, as long as it wins the respect of the other party, it is enough, and bowing to him is of course one of the ways.

It stands to reason that this should be a thrilling class without any surprises, but Hagrid obviously underestimated the brat's ability to make trouble.

The result of the inconsideration was that Malfoy got scratched for being rude to the hippogriff named Buckbeak first.

Although the injury was not serious, although it was Malfoy's own fault.

But Hagrid still needs to bear the main responsibility, because he is the professor who brought a 3x-level magical creature to these 3rd-year students.

And these 3rd grade students are obviously not 'capable wizards'.

"Do you think Hagrid will be fired for this matter?"

Harry worriedly asked Mike, he had a good relationship with Hagrid, and he didn't want him to be fired just like that.

"Don't worry, expulsion will definitely not be expelled, but it is estimated that you have to learn a little lesson."

Harry is really worrying, who is Hagrid?

The half-giant with the half-giant blood was Dumbledore's right-hand man, and Dumbledore treated him very well.

We must know that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because he was framed by Tom Riddle, and was cut off by the Ministry of Magic and ordered to never use magic, but the result?
Dumbledore secretly repaired his wand and hid it in the little pink umbrella he carried with him.

Otherwise why did Hagrid carry that little umbrella even when it wasn't raining?Shade?
Harry, on the other hand, was relieved when he heard Mike say that Hagrid would not be expelled. He didn't know why he trusted Mike so much. He just thought that if Mike said that Hagrid would be fine, then nothing would happen.

As for Mike saying that Hagrid would take a little lesson, Harry didn't care, as long as he didn't get expelled. Harry believed that Hagrid could still stand it with a little bit of a lesson.

And after Mike talked about Hagrid, he also became very interested in the Hippogriff named Buckbeak.

He had only seen pictures of these large magical creatures in books before, and had never had close contact with them, so he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

"I said, why don't we go and see Hagrid and Buckbeak?"

"This……"

Facing Mike's proposal, Harry hesitated. Did he know that the relationship between Mike and Hagrid was not very good, and if the two of them quarreled again, which side should he help?
"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with Hagrid." Mike assured, "And this kind of thing happened, shouldn't we go and see Hagrid? He might be very sad now."

Harry thought about it, and said, "Okay then, I'll ask Ron and Hermione to go with me."

Mike nodded in agreement, and the two started looking for Ron and Hermione together.

Ron is easier to find, this guy is a wizard chess fan, whenever he is free, he will stay in the lounge and find someone to play chess with.

But Hermione is more troublesome. Since Hermione has chosen all the electives this year, she is very busy. When Mike and the others found her, she was doing homework in the library.

Seeing the pile of books as tall as a person piled up beside Hermione's desk, Mike couldn't help swallowing.

This is a real scholar.

Facing Mike's invitation, Hermione hesitated and finally agreed.

When the four of them marched to the cabin where Hagrid was, Mike finally couldn't help asking Hermione:
"Hermione, I heard you signed up for all the electives?"

"Yes, so I have a lot of homework. If possible, I hope we can end this visit as soon as possible so that I can go back and finish my homework as soon as possible."

After hearing Hermione's words, Ron immediately became dissatisfied, and whispered there: "Then you don't have to come..."

In the middle of the sentence, Mike and Hermione both cast their eyes on his face, which made him swallow the following words.

Seeing that Ron stopped talking, Mike continued: "No, I'm a little confused now. If I remember correctly, the time of those elective courses conflicted with each other. How did you manage to take two courses at the same time? ?”

"In fact, there are three subjects, divination class and arithmetic divination..."

In the middle of Ron's words, Hermione's angry eyes turned back again.

"I'll take care of it. I've discussed it with Professor McGonagall, and she agrees with me." Hermione explained to Mike angrily, perhaps realizing that her words were a little rushed, and then Hermione Min said again, "Thank you for your concern, Mike."

Seeing that Hermione didn't want to say more about Mike and didn't force him, he smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm just worried about whether you will be tired. To be honest, it's really hard for you to be like this."

When he said this, Mike's eyes kept scanning Hermione's body, and finally fell on a metal necklace around her neck.

And Hermione couldn't help but blush when she heard Mike's gentle words and felt his hot eyes sweeping over her.

Ron, who was walking at the end, saw all of this, and he silently made a retching motion.

The group came to the hut where Hagrid was, talking and laughing, but they smelled a strong smell of alcohol as soon as they entered.

Hermione, Harry and others couldn't help frowning and covering their noses, only Mike walked forward calmly.

I saw Hagrid lying crookedly on the ground, crying and pouring wine into his mouth. There were already wine barrels piled up around him, and each of these wine barrels was huge, as tall as half a person. Mike really Can't imagine how much wine Hagrid had drunk.

Hagrid stared at Mike in a daze with drunken eyes for a moment before he recognized Mike's identity, and suddenly roared furiously and threw the barrel of wine in his hand at Mike.

The faces of Harry, Hermione and others changed drastically. They never thought that Hagrid would be drunk and would attack Mike, and they screamed immediately.

But Mike didn't panic at all. Amidst Hermione's screams, Mike silently raised his wand and drew a symbol in the air.

"Armor protection."

Immediately afterwards, a shield suddenly appeared to block the wine barrel.

The barrel shattered in an instant, and the scarlet wine in the barrel spilled all over the floor, making the smell of wine in the hut even stronger.

"You bad boy is the same as that little Death Eater from the Malfoy family, they are all bad!"

Hagrid stood up cursing, raised his fist bigger than the casserole and threw it at Mike.

"Passed out."

McClane raised his eyebrows, shot a red light and knocked Hagrid to the ground.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time."

After doing all this, Mike turned around and shrugged his shoulders to the shocked Hermione and the others.

Only then did Harry and the others react, and hurried forward to check on Hagrid's situation, but before they got close to Hagrid who was lying on the ground, there was a thunderous grunt.

……

Harry and the others were speechless.

And Mike walked towards the grove outside the hut regardless. From his magic perception, he could clearly perceive that there was a Hippogriff in the fence there.

"Hey Mike! Where are you going?"

Harry and the others saw Mike walking out of the hut silently, and hurriedly followed.

"Since Hagrid is drunk, I can only go and see Buckbeak by myself." Mike said as a matter of course.

"That's not good?"

Harry muttered under his breath, he really didn't know how to stop Mike.

And while Harry was thinking hard about how to persuade Mike, Mike brought a few people to a pasture.

"Oh, this is really... so beautiful."

Looking at the Hippogriff Mike with its wings stretched in front of him, he expressed his sincere admiration.

"Yeah, it's really cool." Ron gloated and echoed, "It's a pity you didn't come to the Protection of Magical Creatures class. Not only did Hagrid let us ride it in that class, but that guy Malfoy was also caught. hurt!"

Mike glanced at Ron and said lightly, "No pity, I can also ride it now."

After speaking, Mike walked towards Buckbeak in the fence.

"No!"

Hermione and Harry shouted in unison.

Hermione felt that this creature had just injured someone today, so it was very dangerous.Harry, on the other hand, simply felt that it was not good for them to contact Buckbeak without Hagrid's consent.

"Don't worry, Mike will be fine." Ron said in an indifferent tone, "Don't forget, he is the Hogwarts Duel Champion."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, Harry and Hermione saw Mike, who was walking towards the giant beast, pull out his dark wand.

Now Harry and Hermione were starting to worry about Buckbeak.

"Armor protection."

Mike quietly looked at the Hippogriff in front of him who was on guard against him, and silently put a layer of armor on himself.

And Buckbeak became anxious when he saw that Mike started to cast a spell. He stretched out his wings facing Mike to make his figure even bigger, and at the same time let out a warning eagle cry from his mouth.

"Bow quickly, Mike!"

Harry shouted anxiously, this is the method Hagrid taught him, and he only needs to bow to Buckbeak to get his approval.

However, Mike raised his wand to Buckbeak without hearing anything.

"Roar!"

Seeing Mike pointing his wand at himself, Buckbeak was furious, roared and wanted to tear the villain in front of him with his claws.

But the next moment, Buckbeak froze.

On Mike's wand raised high, rich purple flames were rapidly gathering, and after a while, a purple fireball the size of a basketball formed on the tip of the wand.

Although the fireball was small, the temperature was not low. The feathers on Buckbeak's body began to twist and deform under the high temperature.

Under the pressure of the fireball, Buckbeak's body trembled slightly, and he felt the threat of death.

This is the instinct of its beast, and it is also the ability it has relied on most since childhood.But now, this ability tells it that the villain in front of it is different from the big human before, and the person holding the fireball really wants to kill it!

"Kneel down."

Mike looked at the giant beast in front of him and said coldly.

In the next second, Buckbeak fell to his knees on the ground with a thud of his front hooves.Its head hangs down on the ground, wishing to bury its head in the soil like an ostrich, and dare not look at Mike at all.

Seeing this, Mike dispelled the Flame Curse, walked forward with a smile, grabbed Buckbeak's feathers and rode on it.

Mike's movements were very rough, and Buckbeak was very painful when he grabbed him. If anyone else dared to do this, Buckbeak would definitely give him a hard peck, but at this moment, he didn't dare to move.

And Mike on the bird's back put his whole body on Buckbeak's body, while holding the feathers on its back with his left hand, and resting his wand on his neck with his right hand.

"take off!"

Following Mike's order, Buckbeak, whose neck was pressed against by the wand, didn't dare to resist at all, and flew up with a run-up.

Harry and the others on the ground opened their mouths and looked at Mike in the air, silent.
