Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 323 Fox's Love
"This is impossible!"

The door of the principal's office was roughly pushed open, and Fudge, with a ferocious expression on his face, came to Dumbledore and Mike panting heavily, and roared angrily while smashing the eagle-footed wooden table,
"That's impossible! He's already dead!"

Feeling the vibration on the table, Dumbledore frowned slightly, and continued to talk to Mike:
"Are you sure?"

"I……"

"This is absolutely impossible!" Mike was about to speak when Fudge interrupted, "Mike, you must be too tired from the game and have hallucinations! Yes! It must be like this! Hahaha! Do you know? You this time You won the Triwizard Tournament and won glory for the whole country! As long as I operate a little bit, you will become the idol of the people of the whole country! You must wear a mask when you walk on the street in the future, otherwise there will be countless people surrounding you, Come to you for an autograph! Come on, tell me, everything you just said is false!"

Leaning back a little, avoiding the saliva spurted from Fudge's mouth in agitation, Mike looked at Dumbledore helplessly.

Dumbledore frowned even more.

"Mr. Minister, I am discussing the situation with classmate Mike, can you please avoid it for a while?"

"Shut up first, Dumbledore! I'll settle the score with you after I've settled this matter!" Fudge roared ferociously, and then put on a kind expression and looked at Mike, "Quickly say Come on, Mike, tell me you're just hallucinating."

"Fox." Dumbledore shook his head and said in a low voice, "help me get Minister Fudge out!"

On a wooden shelf against the wall in the office, Phoenix Fox, who was dozing off, suddenly raised his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Immediately afterwards, it turned into a flame and flew towards Fudge.

Although Fudge flapped his hands frantically to stop the Phoenix from approaching, it didn't do much, the Phoenix Foxy honked and landed on him.

In the next moment, Mike saw a flash of fire, and Phoenix and Fudge disappeared into the office.

This scene surprised Mike a little, and Dumbledore on the side explained:
"Phoenix has the ability to teleport people, and only a few high-end restrictions can limit this ability."

As soon as the words were finished, the flames in the office reappeared, Foxy suddenly appeared on Mike's shoulder, and gently patted his cheek with his wings.

"Oh! Don't worry, Fox is asking what you want to eat. If you have herbs with you, you can give him some. It doesn't matter if you don't have one, I can provide it here."

Mike nodded, and after thinking for a while, he took out a piece of white meat that he used as an emergency medicine from his pocket.

Fox obviously liked Mike's choice, and swallowed Bai Xian in two or three bites.

It didn't leave after eating, but lay down on Mike's shoulder and took a nap.

"It seems that she likes you very much, which is rare." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Then Mike, can you answer the question I just asked?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I can swear on my wand that everything I just said is true. Voldemort, he is really alive."

Mike silently activated the Occlumency Technique, which made his tone sound abnormally flat, without any emotion.

The office fell into a strange silence. Dumbledore squinted his eyes and stared at Mike's eyes, as if he wanted to see Mike's real thoughts from it, but Mike looked at him without fear, his pale eyes There was no sound in the ancient well in the blue eyes, a void.

After a while, Dumbledore seemed to have given up on this useless effort, and said:
"I believe you, Mike. Then, please tell the whole thing."

Hearing this, Mike nodded, still using the voice without a trace of emotion, he talked about the start of today's game, including the fact that he found Krum controlled by the Imperius Curse and the sudden appearance in the cemetery. Everything about the man in the mask and black robe was told in detail.

During this period, Dumbledore did not interrupt, until Mike finished everything, Dumbledore pondered for a while and said:

"So, today's Hagrid and the previous Bagman should be pretending to be Barty Jr. Ah, Barty Jr., what a familiar name. When he graduated, I was sure that he would be an extremely An outstanding wizard will achieve a great career in the future. Unexpectedly..."

A complex look appeared on Dumbledore's face, as if he was missing the outstanding boy back then.

On the other hand, Mike looked at him blankly, neither speaking nor moving, like an emotionless robot.

"Mike, that's the last question." Dumbledore woke up from his memories, looked at Mike sincerely and asked, "Although I am very willing to believe everything you said, just to be on the safe side, can I Check your memory, or you can take the initiative to take out your memory and put it in the Pensieve. Oh, maybe you don’t know what the Pensieve is, it’s a place where others can clearly see your memory..."

"Excuse me for refusing." Mike interrupted, "I won't let anyone hack into my brain, that's my bottom line. As for the Pensieve, I believe you should have seen it too, I'm very familiar with Occlumency and Occlumency. Legilimency and reciting incantations also have quite deep attainments, and in this case, I don’t think the memories I extracted can still be used as evidence.”

Dumbledore's face turned dark all of a sudden, but Mike said calmly without panicking:
"Perhaps you can invite Harry to come. He has witnessed almost everything. I believe his memory is still very valuable, Headmaster."

Ignoring the word 'principal' that seemed to be ironic at the end of Mike, Dumbledore nodded and said:
"Okay, then can you please wait next door for a while? Don't worry about being lonely, I will let Fox accompany you."

After all, a garden arch suddenly appeared on the wall of the office, and Dumbledore made a gesture of please.

Fox, who had been napping on Mike's shoulder, suddenly let out a cry, as if he was very happy to continue to stay with Mike.

Mike didn't answer, and stood up without saying a word while carrying Fox, and entered the room.

……

After Mike entered the room, the round arch disappeared miraculously.

Dumbledore first used magic to convey the news of bringing Harry to McGonagall, and then sat on the seat without saying a word, frowning.

The knuckles of his index finger kept tapping on the tabletop of the long table, making crisp impact sounds, which made many portraits on the wall open their eyes curiously.

"You look distraught, Dumbledore," said a silver-haired witch. "This is really rare. It turns out that you also have difficult times."

Dumbledore completely ignored the silver-haired witch's words and continued tapping on the table.

Seeing this, the silver-haired witch grabbed her hair furiously, and disappeared into the office after a long while of impotent rage.

After a while, the door of the office was violently pushed open again.

Sirius was the first to rush into the office with an angry face, followed by Harry and Professor McGonagall.

"Dumbledore! You have to give me an explanation! How important is it that a seriously injured child drags the wound to you to deal with it!"

Sirius knocked on Dumbledore's table angrily, and this familiar scene made Dumbledore's brows furrowed again.

Instinctively, he wanted to ask someone to drive this guy out, but Dumbledore dismissed the idea after seeing Harry hiding behind Sirius, who was feeling uneasy.

"Harry, Mike has already told me about what happened tonight." Dumbledore ignored Sirius and said, "But just to be on the safe side, can you please go to the memory room with me again, I want to pass Pensieve and look at the situation."

Dumbledore's ignorance made Sirius extremely angry. He instinctively wanted to draw out his wand, but Professor McGonagall on the side stopped him in time.

As for Harry, he glanced at Sirius with some unease, then bit his teeth and said:

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Hearing that Dumbledore laughed, Harry was so obedient compared to Mike, he got up quickly and led everyone to the memory room.

With the help of the memory basin, Dumbledore, Sirius and others experienced Harry's situation from Harry's perspective.

When they saw that Mike faced the two senior Death Eaters, Barty Jr. and Peter Pettigrew, two senior Death Eaters, Mike's one-on-two, there were amazed expressions on everyone's faces. When stopped by the five men in black robes, Sirius opened his mouth enough to stuff an apple, and when Voldemort finally appeared and dyed most of the sky green, Sirius already screamed unconsciously .

"This is really dangerous! Fortunately, you are fine! If something happens to you, I really don't know what to do!"

After the review was over, Sirius, who was in a cold sweat, hugged the terrified and trembling Harry.

And Dumbledore beside them was gloomy and silent, and asked slowly after a long time:

"Now I can confirm that today's Hagrid is indeed pretended by Little Barty. Then the question is, where is the real Hagrid?"

"I was about to tell you about this." Professor McGonagall whispered into Dumbledore's ear, "We found him in Hagrid's cabin. He is still alive, but seriously injured. Cure. Don't tell Harry just yet, the boy and Hagrid are deeply attached."

Dumbledore nodded, turned his head and said kindly to Harry:
"Come on, Harry, let's go back."

……

At the same time, in the room next to the memory room, Mike was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

This is a very ordinary room. The space inside is not large and there are no windows. The lighting depends entirely on the magic chandelier and fireplace above the head.

Although it looks like a prison cell, all kinds of furniture inside are very complete. There are even bags of coffee beans, tea leaves, and a complete set of tea and coffee making tools on the coffee table.

The door to the room disappears the moment Mike enters, making it look more like a prison cell.

Mike didn't react too much to this, he had already expected this to happen, and Dumbledore would not allow himself to act at will until he figured out everything.

So it was inevitable to put him under house arrest, and Phoenix Fox was his guard.

It's just that Dumbledore's phoenix doesn't seem to know his mission, but Mike can tell that it really likes him.

Although I don't know where this liking comes from, it doesn't prevent Mike from getting close to his bird guard.

He took out a handful of fresh rice from his small bag again, and slowly fed it to Fox while asking:
"Fox, my pretty friend, can you take me out?"

Fox, who was wolfing down his food, was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly stopped eating.

It spread its wings, its eyes slowly retracted, and the muscles covered with hair on its face were constantly tightening. It looked very similar to the expression of humans when they were fighting against constipation.

After half a sound, the muscles on Fox's body relaxed, and he let out a cry of frustration.

Seeing this, the smile on Mike's face grew stronger. It was inevitable that Fox would fail. Mike had guessed from the very beginning that the cell must have been equipped with such a powerful air ban that even Fox couldn't do anything about it. It really pleased him. It was Phoenix Fox who was willing to obey his orders!
This is simply unbelievable. You must know that the phoenix is ​​the most loyal bird, and it is almost impossible to obey the orders of others except its own master.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled more happily, and the speed of taking out fresh meat from the pouch was also faster.

And at this moment, in the depths of his heart, Raven Pappy, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also made a sound again.

"Kill it! Quickly kill that stupid bird to make it nirvana and become an egg again! As long as I eat it, I can..."

Only halfway through Pappy's words, Mike strengthened the Occlumency technique without hesitation, blocked the conversation unilaterally, and continued to hand Bai Xian to Fox's mouth with a smile on his face.

But facing the food in front of him, Fox rarely ate it right away, but looked at Mike with some embarrassment.

Mike understood the meaning of this in seconds, he smiled and said:
"Don't be embarrassed, it's okay even if you didn't help me, at least you worked hard. Come on, eat quickly, don't be polite to me, I have a lot of this stuff at home."

Fox's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and without hesitation, he ate the fresh meat that Mike pushed again.

While eating, he was still chirping.

The phoenix's cry is very beautiful, it sounds like it is singing, and from Fox's singing now, it can be heard that it is really in a good mood at the moment.

Time passed so slowly, and just when Fox was about to finish eating all the emergency herbs that Mike carried, the round arched door that had disappeared on the wall of the room reappeared and opened again.

Dumbledore's voice came from outside the door:

"Come out, Mike."
