Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 365 Bar follow-up (I have acute gastroenteritis)
Mike didn't want to drink this dirty wine, but Harry and Ron drank it happily.

Watching them pick up the dusty wine bottle and pour it into their mouths without wiping it, Mike felt his stomach was turning upside down.

But this is also normal. The wizarding world of the country and the Muggle world have limited alcohol laws, which means that even butter beer, especially alcohol, is more like a drink. These futures in Hogwarts Adult wizards usually can't drink it, so Harry and Ron are so impatient.

"Ha! Hiccup! It's delicious!"

Harry drank almost half of the bottle, then hiccupped, with a ring of yellow foam remaining on his mouth.

Seeing this, Ron next to him also put down the wine bottle, raised his eyebrows and looked longingly at the bar, and murmured:
"Am I right? Here we can think of something. I bet the guy would sell us everything, he doesn't care. I've always wanted to try Firewhiskey..."

Before Ron could finish his sentence, Hermione leaned over and said word by word:

"You're a prefect!"

"That's right, Ron, you're a prefect now!" George ran over with a glass of butterbeer in his hand and said, "But you have to lead by example!"

After saying that, George and Fred looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.

"Is your person here yet?" Mike frowned and looked at Hermione, "Is the appointed time coming soon?"

"They're coming soon, I dare..."

As soon as Hermione finished speaking, the door of the tavern opened, and a thick, dusty ray of sunlight split the room in two, and disappeared again in a blink of an eye, blocked by a large group of people pouring in.

The first thing that appeared in front of Mike was Neville, a man and a woman whom Mike didn't know, followed by Parvati and Padma, and also the old acquaintance Qiu Zhang and her chattering gang The girlfriends who stopped, and then Luna who was alone in a trance, and several students who Mike knew but couldn't name.

The Pig’s Head Bar wasn’t very big in the first place. Just now Mike brought a large group of people, and now Harry called a large group of people. Now the entire Pig’s Head Bar is almost full, and many people don’t even have a place to sit. No.

There were a few guests in the bar who were dressed strangely and covered their heads. They probably didn't adapt to this noisy environment. Many of them left the bar before they even had time to drink. In the end, only one person was left with gray hair all over his body. The guy with the dirty bandage didn't leave, he seemed very curious about the sudden appearance of so many people in the bar.

Aberforth saw this scene in his eyes, the skinny muscles on his face twitched constantly, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger.

"Huh, there are quite a lot of people."

Mike sighed, while Hermione said embarrassingly:
"Uh, I hope you don't get angry."

"Why am I mad?" Mike said, "Is it because you brought too many people? Come on, I can't ask for more!"

After speaking, Mike opened his arms and greeted everyone.

"Everyone, I didn't expect to meet you here! How are you all?"

Neville and others who just came in and looked around all said yes, among them, the girlfriends brought by Qiu Zhang even held on to Mike's arm like crazy, which made Qiu Zhang beside him look embarrassed .

"Sorry, Mike." Qiu Zhang said, "They are your loyal fans, so excited to meet you!"

"It's all right, Cho. How could I blame such beautiful ladies? Are you right?"

Mike's words made Qiu Zhang's girlfriends laugh out loud, and the hands around Mike's arms became tighter.

Then George, Fred, and Lee Jordan, who arrived later, distributed the extra butter beer, and everyone found their seats and sat down.

Until then, Mike said to Qiu Zhang seriously:

"Qiu, I have to say that your choice is correct. I promised Cedric to take care of you, and this time is an important step to improve your self-protection ability!"

"I...I don't really understand what you're talking about." Qiu Zhang was a little at a loss, "The reason why I came here is because they said that you and Harry have something to say to us."

As soon as Qiu Zhang finished speaking, Neville and others beside him also echoed, and Mike turned to look at Hermione.

"Uh, maybe I didn't make it clear at the time." Hermione explained, "But it's not too late for you to explain now, hehehe."

Hearing this, Mike looked away. To be honest, the Pig's Head Bar is not a good place to talk about private affairs. Although there are relatively few people here, it is a bar after all, so there are still some people listening.

For example, the mysterious man covered in gray bandages and Aberforth in the bar before, the two of them are now engrossed in secretly listening to the conversation of several people.

But to be honest, Mike doesn't mind them eavesdropping, because it doesn't matter if it gets out, after all, the initiator of this event is Dumbledore's darling—Harry Potter, I believe Dumbledore is Knowing this, I can't gossip about it.

And it would be even better if Umbridge knew about this and checked their block. Mike was worried that Umbridge, the villain, did not do bad enough things to fully cohere the organization.

Thinking of this, Mike looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he stood up slowly and said:
"Everyone, I believe everyone should be very familiar with Professor Umbridge by now. This Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the Ministry of Magic is different from the professors we have met before. She thinks that we are not suitable. There's no need to master the practical Defense Against the Dark Arts, so her classes become boring, purely theoretical classes. Personally, I don't think that's right, our world is far from being that safe.

Last year, Dumbledore announced that You-Know-Who had come back, and I believed it, because Harry and I were there and witnessed You-Know-Who's resurrection. "

Speaking of this, everyone in the Pig's Head Bar started whispering. Aberforth at the bar was wiping a wine glass, but it could be seen from his slightly trembling hands that his heart was not very peaceful at the moment. .

"Well, I know that many people are skeptical about this news, because the Ministry of Magic has been promoting that the mysterious man has not returned. Here, I don't want to discuss the authenticity of this news with you, because time will tell everything! "Mike continued, "But even if the mysterious man is not resurrected, I don't think we don't need to learn the Defense Against the Dark Arts, because there are still many other dangers in the world outside the school, such as the people in Knockturn Alley. Dark wizards are also like werewolf virus-infected people who specialize in retaliating against society. Therefore, we still need to master those practical defense against black arts!

But at present, Umbridge obviously doesn't think so, so in order to let everyone have enough self-protection ability, and also to let everyone face the next various exams with more confidence, I discussed it with Harry , decided to launch a cram school to teach everyone the Defense Against the Dark Arts required for actual combat! "

After finishing speaking, the entire Pig's Head Bar fell into an eerie silence.

The students who were invited by Hermione looked at each other, with surprise written all over their faces.

"I... can I participate too?" In the silence, Neville raised his hand tremblingly, lowered his head and said, "After all, I can..."

"Of course, Neville. We welcome all!"

An embarrassed expression appeared on Neville's face, and the expressions on the faces of the people around him also changed from surprise to surprise, and finally followed Neville and shouted 'I want to participate too! ' Then he squeezed towards Mike with all his might.

Seeing this, Hermione finally showed a smile on her face. She had already expected the scene in front of her.

After all, Mike's influence within Hogwarts is not a vegetarian, the champion of the Duel Tournament, the champion of the Triwizard Tournament, these titles have already equated the name Mike with the word powerful.

I believe that facing the personal teaching of such a strong person, there will never be many people who will refuse.

Thinking so, Hermione quickly took out a piece of parchment and said:
"Don't worry, if a person wants to participate in this event, he must sign his name. This will make it easier for us to know that those people have been here. It should be noted that as long as you sign your name, It means that you know the specific content of this activity, and you promise not to reveal that Umbridge and others know. If you can’t do that, then it’s better not to sign.”

Mike's eyes changed slightly.

Judging from what he perceived, this parchment should have been attached with a more troublesome contract magic. Hermione seemed to be explaining to everyone just now, but she was actually setting conditions for the contract magic.

If anyone who signs on this violates the content of the previously established contract, the above magic will be triggered, and the betrayer will be punished with a curse.

Mike can't see the specific effect of this curse, but there is no doubt that any curse must be extremely difficult to get rid of.

After thinking about it carefully, Mike didn't point out the meaning of the reason, but let Hermione do it.

Many of the people in the room showed dissatisfaction after hearing that they had to sign. However, since most of the people in the room didn't usually have access to this kind of contract magic, few people thought much about it.

Even Neville Longbottom, who came from a sacred pure-blood family, signed his name on the parchment after hesitating a little.

It wasn't until everyone signed their names that Hermione put it away, smiled and said to everyone:
"Okay, that's the end of today's activities. Afterwards, we will notify everyone of the date and place of the official class."

The environment in the Pig's Head Bar is not acceptable to everyone, so after Hermione announced the disbandment, most people left the bar quickly, among them Qiu Zhang and her girlfriends moved the fastest - this kind of little girl The most unbearable thing is the mess. If it wasn't for Mike, I'm afraid they wouldn't even come in.

And George Fred and others stayed in the bar. The only reason for these people to stay was the alcohol. It seemed that they would not return today if they were not drunk.

Mike didn't intend to stop this. Umbridge's injury is estimated to heal soon, which means that the good days of George and Fred are coming to an end.

It wasn't like Mike was interrupting their final orgy at this moment.

But what is surprising is that Harry and Ron also seemed to want to stay, but it is a pity that with Hermione's existence, their two wishes to drink fire whiskey did not come true in the end.

"Mike, have you found where the class is?"

As if to divert his attention, Harry, who was dragged by Hermione to go shopping together, suddenly raised his head and asked.

"It's already been prepared, so you don't have to worry about that." Mike nodded, "That place is on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, opposite to Barnabas with the troll stick, when the time comes, let those people directly Just go there."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, confusion and incomprehension written all over their faces.

"I've been there, but there doesn't seem to be a classroom there?"

"There's the Room of Requirement."

Mike whispered, and Hermione on the side stopped picking the quill when she heard the words, Σ(っ°Д°;)っ said in amazement: "Did I hear you right? You are talking about the one with the ball Bing room?"

"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of." Mike spread his hands, "I found it by chance, and it should be the best place to take classes."

"That's right! That place is definitely the most suitable place to use as a secret base!"

Looking at the excited Hermione, the confusion on the faces of Harry and Ron intensified.

"What are you talking about? What is the Room of Requirement?"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Hermione's face, and she explained:
"I'm really convinced. If you have read "Hogwarts—A School History" carefully, you should know that this is a legendary room, which can give you almost anything you want. (A look of surprise appeared on Ron's face) Of course, I think it still has some restrictions, such as gold or something, it shouldn't be able to change it."

The expression on Ron's face became lost again.

"Just be content!" Hermione put her hands on her hips, "That room is very hidden, and it can conjure a lot of teaching tools I need. It would be great to use it as a secret classroom."

Ron sighed and said nothing, but he still looked sullen about the fact that the Room of Requirement couldn't be turned into gold.

"Why don't you go to George and Fred if you're short of money? They're very rich now, and you're brothers."

As if hearing some amazing news, Ron opened his eyes wide, stared at Mike in disbelief and said:

"You expect George and Fred to give me pocket money? They don't even want to buy me a glass of fire whiskey! Oh! You may not have seen it just now, so I'll show you again."

Then Ron straightened his clothes and acted out George and Fred in a very contrived manner.

Ron's performance was subtle, and suddenly Mike, Harry and others burst into laughter.

　As mentioned above, I have acute gastroenteritis, and I have been in a very bad state for the past few days, so this picture is still forced out.

　　If it doesn't get better in the future, I may stop updating for a day or two or less, please forgive me.
