Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 234 Infiltrate
Mike's learning progress in ancient runes is very fast, and he has learned the phonetic symbols of ancient runes in just two days.

And thanks to the success of the Patronus Charm, Mike now freed up a lot of time again.

Mike, who was used to being busy, naturally couldn't be idle, so he turned his attention to Snape again.

……

In the underground classroom of Potions class, Mike was sitting in his seat bored.And on the seat next to him in the aisle, sat Draco who was a little excited.

This Potions class Ravenclaw is very rarely mixed with Slytherin

Mike glanced inadvertently at Draco's still-bandaged arm, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Draco was discharged from the hospital, Ms. Pomfrey also claimed that he had recovered, but he still insisted on putting bandages and splints on his arms, so that everyone would know how cruel Buckbeak was and how much Hagrid was. inability.

This approach may seem crude at first glance, but it actually works surprisingly well.

The vast majority of Slytherins chose to believe in Draco. Of course, their ass decides their head.But there are still many people in other academies who don't know the truth and believe Draco, which makes Hagrid's situation worse and worse.

Although the surface is calm, Mike knows that the high-level struggle has begun.

Mike is not worried about Hagrid's safety, after all he is protected by Dumbledore.

If Hagrid hadn't been protected by Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard of our time, then Hagrid's ending would have been much worse than Draco's expulsion, and being imprisoned in Azkaban is not out of the question. .

After all, Hagrid is a person with a 'record', and he also brought a dangerous 3x creature to a group of young wizards who have no ability to protect themselves.

But now with Dumbledore, Mike estimates that the final result will be the same as the original book. Dumbledore tried to protect Hagrid, and at the same time took out Buckbeak, a beast that hurt people, to calm the anger of the Malfoy family, and gave the Malfoy family a down the steps.

Of course Draco didn't know about all this, in fact at this moment he was still looking forward to seeing Harry's angry and sad face after Hagrid was fired.

Just as Mike was thinking nonsense, the door to the basement was slammed shut. Mike turned his head and saw Professor Snape coming from the door in a dignified manner.

His huge black cloak flapped in the wind with his imposing stride, making him look like a giant bat.

And with his arrival, some conversations in the original classroom quietly disappeared. Everyone was sitting upright, and even the cold temperature in the underground classroom felt a few degrees lower.

When Professor Snape stepped onto the podium to face everyone, everyone noticed that Snape was not in a good mood.

Mike naturally knew the reason.

After taking out the Boggart, Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was very popular. As Mike said to Lupine at the beginning of the school, there are two rotten bricks, Quirrell and Lockhart. It can become the jewel in the eyes of the students.

And this is obviously what Snape, who is Lupine's deadly enemy, doesn't want to see.

Especially after he went to Gryffindor's Defense Against the Dark Arts class and was slapped and humiliated by Lupine.

After this incident, Snape has been in a bad mood for the past few days. Naturally, the students would not touch him when they saw this. After Snape announced the start of class, they quickly took out various Potion ingredients and tools.

The potion everyone is going to learn today is the Laughter Potion. Snape on the stage, after explaining the production process to everyone, turned his attention to Draco. When he saw his bandaged arm, he couldn't help but Frowning.

With Snape's level, how could he not see that Draco was pretending to be sick? He originally thought that Draco would remove the disguise after a while, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be addicted to pretending.

Being watched by Snape didn't feel good, and Draco felt his legs tremble unconsciously.

On the other hand, Pan Xi raised her hand excitedly.

She liked Draco, and Draco had a broken arm and needed someone to help him with potions.

In a Potions class, Professor Snape chose to let Harry, the bumbling guy, help Draco, which made Pansy feel it was a pity, so she decided to take the initiative.

It's just a pity that Snape's gaze fell on Mike after only staying on Pansy for a moment.

"Mike, come and help Draco deal with the potion."

As soon as this remark was made, everyone in the audience began to whisper. Everyone had heard that Harry was humiliated miserably by Draco in the previous Potions class, but they didn't expect it to be Mike's turn this time.

Thinking of this, Ravenclaw's face turned angry, while Slytherin let out a few slight laughs.

"Quiet!" Snape roared after hearing the noise, "No noise in class! Ten points deducted from Ravenclaw!"

This time, Ravenclaw and Slytherin didn't dare to speak, but the Slytherin became more arrogant, and their headmaster still favored them unconditionally.

Mike didn't show much anger, and moved the desk with Draco's desk calmly.

He wasn't surprised that Snape was acting so against him.

To be honest, Snape is actually a very good potions professor. He even lent Mike a good cauldron in his first year.

Coupled with the fact that Mike's chemical knowledge accumulated as a chef made him also show a very good talent in potions, this made Snape's attitude towards Mike actually good at the beginning.

It's a pity that all this changed completely after Mike clashed with the Slytherin students repeatedly.

It can be said that Snape's attitude towards Mike is only slightly better than Harry's.

Draco's recent deeds at Hogwarts obviously made him a little swollen, and there was a bit more mockery in the eyes he looked at Mike.

Mike completely ignored Draco's small eyes, and after putting on the dragon leather gloves, he reached out and took out a velvet.

The shape of the cattail is spherical, and the body is covered with thick creamy yellow soft hair.

It's a very cute creature with a gentle disposition that doesn't mind being cuddled or tossed around.Therefore it has become a very popular pet.

It's a pity that its hair and hair follicles have magical properties and are the ingredients for Laughing Potion, so Mike needs to pluck it.

"Hey, Mike." Draco looked a little bored, and talked to Mike, "Have you heard? I was scratched by Hagrid's damn monster."

Draco raised his arm in front of Mike to show him, but Mike ignored him completely.

This attitude obviously angered Draco, and he raised his brows and said, "I heard that you also sat on that beast to the sky on the evening of the first day of school. Did you also bow to that beast?" Is it? How ridiculous!"

Draco made fun of Mike unscrupulously, but Mike smiled on his face when he heard this, and said, "Actually, I quite agree with your treatment of that Hippogriff."

"what?"

Draco stopped laughing suddenly when he heard this, and looked at Mike with a strange expression.

"To deal with such a magical creature with low IQ, direct threat of violence is the correct choice. In fact, I also did that that evening." The smile on Mike's face became brighter, "You know why I Did it succeed?"

Seeing the smile on Mike's face, Draco's throat twitched, and he asked nervously, "Why...why?"

"Because I'm stronger than you! So... don't mess with me!"

While speaking, Mike tore a tuft of hair from Pu Rongrong's body.

The pain made Puffy let out a cry of pain, and Draco shuddered violently when he heard the sound, and cold sweat rolled down his cheeks, as if Mike had pulled out his hair just now.

For the rest of the class Draco was a little absent-minded, keeping his head down in silence, not even daring to look at Mike.

Mike didn't care, and used the materials on the table to make two Laughter Potions. The quality of the potions was so standard that even Snape, who wanted to trouble Mike, couldn't fault it.

When Professor Snape announced that the get out of class was over, Draco fled and left the basement classroom, while Mike looked at Draco's somewhat embarrassed figure and shook his head with a smile.

Draco, a brat, was still too young to be beaten back to his original shape with such a light blow.

Unlike the others, Mike did not return directly to the lounge after class, but went directly to Snape's office.

He was going to carry out a dangerous plan today, go to Snape's storage room, and take out an old textbook hidden in the cabinet.

If you have read the original book like Mike, then you should know that what Mike is looking for is the famous Half-Blood Prince textbook.

The Half-Blood Prince is the title Snape gave himself when he was in the second year of secondary school. Mike guessed that the reason why Snape called himself a prince might be because he wanted to marry a girl who was as beautiful as a princess in his mind, that is, Harry's Mother, Lily.

Because in fairy tales the princess always ends up marrying the prince.

Of course, this is just Mike's guess.

After all, the brain circuits of teenagers in the second grade are different from ordinary people, and Mike can't guarantee the correctness of his guess.

And that 'Half-Blood Prince's Textbook' is actually "Advanced Potion Making" where Snape's class notes are usually written.

"Advanced Potion Making" is a textbook for the newt course of Potions. It contains a lot of cutting-edge knowledge and formulas of potions, and even contains the Felicity Elixir that Mike once used.

Just knowing the recipe doesn't mean you can make the finished potion, especially when the textbooks are full of loopholes.

That's right, this book representing the cutting-edge knowledge of potion science was full of loopholes in Snape's view. He had already discovered the shortcomings of many of the potion formulas when he was a teenager, and made improvements for them.

After dragging its blessings, in the original book, Harry even made the Potion of Felicity directly after obtaining it!
Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help singing for Snape's talent!
What kind of talent is this?
The notes I wrote when I was a teenager can actually make a boy with extremely poor grades in Potions class directly make a top-notch Felicia in Potions!
If this is said, it will definitely make countless potion masters feel ashamed.

In addition, these notes also recorded some spells invented by Snape, the most famous of which is 'Shen Feng Wu Ying'!
This is a powerful enchantment that unleashes an invisible blade that slashes at enemies.

The most insidious thing is that the wounds caused by the "Shenfeng Wuying Curse" cannot be healed by ordinary means. The only way Mike knows to treat this kind of injury is to use the exclusive anti-curse to crack it.

Mike's current fighting style is really too monotonous. When the fireball comes out, he just stabs and pokes. He has no power to fight back in front of a real strong enemy.

So now he urgently needs some powerful attack spells to expand his spell pool.

And the 'Shenfeng Wuying Curse' is a very good choice. It is powerful, has a long range and fast speed, and it is silent and invisible when released...

These several characteristics make the "Shenfeng Wuying Curse" arguably the most suitable spell for Mike's current combat style, and it is even stronger than the Flame Curse if used well.

But it was not easy to get that textbook. Snape was an otaku. Apart from eating, drinking, and attending classes, he almost always stayed in the office doing experiments and preparing potions.

Fortunately, he was the only Potions professor at Hogwarts, so Snape had to teach all the students of the year, which meant that Snape was very busy.

After researching the year-round schedule, Mike saw an opportunity.

After Snape finished their class, he still needed to help the first-year students with their class, that is to say, there would be absolutely no one in Snape's office at this moment.

Thinking of this, the door of Snape's office appeared before Mike's eyes.

In the original book, Hermione sneaked into Snape's office to get some special materials when she was in the second grade, but because of Mike's intervention, this incident did not happen in this world.

In other words, the level of protection in Snape's office should still be at a level that even a second-year wizard can break through.

But there was nothing wrong with being careful, Mike still put on the armor body and the illusion charm before using the unlocking spell on the office.

With a soft bang, the door lock opened.

Mike entered the office cautiously and began to rummage through Snape's locker.

There was an extremely strong smell of potions in Snape's office, which smelled a bit like traditional Chinese medicine, very unpleasant.

And his locker is placed in an orderly manner, and all kinds of potions and medicinal materials that Mike knows or doesn't know are placed in a strange order.

After searching for a while, Mike found the old "Advanced Potion Making" at the bottom of the locker.

Perhaps Professor Snape was too confident in his majesty, so Mike easily took away his textbooks.

And Mike, who left the office, went straight to the Response Room without any delay.

He can't wait to try the spell inside!
