Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 386 The Missing Horcrux

Outside the door were two brothers, George and Fred. They were wearing tattered school uniform robes. Their faces and the flesh exposed from the holes in the robes were all bruised and purple, as if they had just Same as coming back from the ring.

"Mike, we can't take it!"

"That's right, I can't take it anymore!"

Before McFar could speak, George and Fred started talking one after another.

Mike glanced at the two of them, and after pulling them back to the secret realm of the Freemasonry through the Freemasonry gold coins, he quickly asked:
"How is this going?"

"It's Umbridge! All of Hogwarts is hers now!"

"So she set up the punishment room again, and hired a large number of Slytherins, and gave them the right to supervise the students to rule Hogwarts!"

"The key is!"

"She's still not going to fire us!"

"That's right, she wants to detain us in Hogwarts and torture us! That's how our injuries came about!"

"If this continues, sooner or later we will be played to death by her!"

After listening to the Weasley brothers tell the whole story, Mike's face also showed a trace of anger.

The Weasley brothers are all members of the Freemasonry. When they made the unbreakable oath, they swore that they would have the same blessings and share the same hardships!

The original reason why the Weasley brothers were allowed to be retaliated by Umbridge is actually more of Mike’s punishment for their unauthorized actions, but this kind of retaliation is limited, and now Umbridge’s behavior is undoubtedly touching To the bottom line of Mike.

"You guys," Mike said after a while before he forcibly suppressed his anger, "what are you going to do?"

"We're going to escape Hogwarts."

"That's right! Just like Dumbledore did!"

"Then we'll go to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade to rent a storefront to fulfill our dreams!"

"Open a magic joke house!"

George and Fred spoke alternately, and the anger that was still on their faces at the beginning was also transformed into longing for the future.

But this longing didn't last long before it disappeared, turning into a gritted teeth with hatred.

"But before we go, Umbridge must be taught a lesson!"

"That's right! An unforgettable lesson! Otherwise, our suffering during this period will be in vain!"

After saying that, the two put on a worried expression and looked at Mike.

They had learned their lessons from previous incidents, and now they knew very well that if they were really ready to act, then it was best to ask Mike.

If Mike doesn't agree, it's all over!
"Umbridge did go too far, so..." Mike looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes and said slowly, "I support you!"

"awesome!"

"Mike! Forever God!"

The two Weasley brothers screamed and were about to go forward to hug Mike. Normally, Mike would have resolutely pushed the two away, but now looking at the scars on their faces, Mike just stood there in a daze. He didn't move, letting George and Weasley wipe all the dirt on his face on his clean robes.

"Okay! It's almost done!" After a while, Mike, who felt that he had reached the limit of his endurance, broke free from the arms of the two, and said disgustedly while patting his robe, "Tell me, what are you going to do?" Do?"

"you still need to ask?"

A malicious look appeared on George's face, and at the same time, Fred took out a colorful barrel of fireworks from his arms and said:
"Of course we still use our bang bang swish fireworks!"

"There are many other magical fireworks! These combined are enough to blow up that old hag Umbridge!"

Looking at the pile of familiar fireworks, Mike shook his head and said:
"Haven't you guys thought about a problem? What if Umbridge is already on guard against this kind of fireworks and it doesn't have the effect you want?"

As soon as this remark came out, the Weasley brothers reacted. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all speechless.

Until the end, the two still looked at Mike.

"As your president, it's time for me to give you some help." The corner of Mike's mouth rose, "You go to Benjamin and Victor, just say that I let you go, and they will fully cooperate with you!"

"Mike! I will always be a god!"*2
The Weasley brothers cheered again and rushed towards Mike.

But this time Mike did not indulge the two of them, but simply stepped aside.

"Go away! You're so dirty!"

Regretful expressions appeared on the faces of the Weasley brothers, who had jumped to nothing, which made Mike more sure of his previous thoughts-these two guys did it on purpose!
After fighting with the Weasley brothers for a while, Mike said:
"Okay, everyone, I think it's time for us to separate. Go find Benjamin and Victor. I have my own things to do."

With that said, Mike took out the Masonic gold coin and prepared to send it, but George on the side suddenly said:
"What are you going to do?"

Mike's movements were suffocated, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.

"Harry and Hermione are practicing Occlumency at my place, and I'm going to dismiss them from school. Then, I have to go to the Slytherin common room."

"Slytherin!"

"What are you doing there?"

Brother Weasley's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Phew, Chris and I have an appointment to go do some shopping at his place. It's a small thing, you guys..."

"Take us! We can be your bodyguards!"

"That's right! We're worried about you! Those Slytherins might do something to you!"

Mike was interrupted, but he was not angry.

Looking at the excited Weasley brothers, how could Mike not know what they were thinking, but considering that the two of them had suffered a lot in the past two days, and it was time to vent, Mike nodded and agreed.

……

Half an hour later, Mike, who had liberated Harry and Hermione, brought the Weasley brothers to the entrance of the Slytherin lounge.

The entrance to the Slytherin lounge is in a basement of Hogwarts Castle. Since the basement is not a good place, and Slytherin is extremely xenophobic, this basement is usually only visited by Slytherin students. .

It was the first time for Mike to go to the Slytherin lounge, so he looked around very carefully, and this also made him discover some strange places-the walls of this basement are all wet!

Although this is a basement, it is normal for water marks to appear on the walls and floors during the rainy season, but it is winter now!
Mike silently remembered this abnormal phenomenon in his mind, but at this moment a pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

"Hello, Mr. Townley."

Mike turned his head and saw a tall blond girl in a Slytherin uniform smiling at him.

"Hello."

Mike responded blankly, but the girl on the opposite side seemed not to feel Mike's indifference at all, and said enthusiastically:
"I'm Astoria Greengrass, it's an honor to meet you! Chris asked me to open the door for you, now, please come in! Glory!"

As Astoria read the password aloud, a wall in front of Mike and others suddenly moved away, revealing the Slytherin lounge inside.

Mike looked at the girl named Astoria for a few times, and walked in slowly until the smile on the other side's face couldn't be stretched any longer.

And the Weasley brothers behind him also followed after seeing this, but they all snorted dissatisfiedly when they passed by Astoria.

Just now Astoria completely ignored them, which made them very dissatisfied.

Mike, who was walking in the front, didn't notice the small movements of the two Weasley brothers, because at this moment his attention was completely attracted by the Slytherin lounge.

Compared with the lounges of the other three colleges, the Slytherin lounge can be said to be the most luxurious and magical!

Its walls are all made of black Gothic marble, and there is a fireplace with a beautifully carved mantelpiece, which is now emitting a warm fire light around it.

However, all of this is nothing, the most eye-catching thing in the whole lounge is the ceiling.

It was a huge transparent semicircle carved out of a whole piece of crystal, but looking out from the transparent ceiling, there were a few huge octopus tentacles and sparkling waves!

Seeing this scene, Mike was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly looked at the other windows in the lounge.

Sure enough, through those windows, what Mike saw was still the dark lake and the unknown strange creatures that would swim through the windows from time to time!

Mike understood instantly!

The Slytherin lounge is actually located at the bottom of the Black Lake!
Mike nodded in amazement. According to legend, Hogwarts Castle was actually the private residence of the Slytherin family, one of the Big Four. Mike couldn't believe it at first, but now he believes it.

Because the lounge that Slytherin left for his students is really great!
If it weren't for the fact that the entire castle belonged to his family, Mike believed that at least Gryffindor would have dueled Slytherin for this lounge!

After all, it's really cool!
"Mr. Mike, please go this way."

Just as Mike was immersed in the strange scenery of the Slytherin lounge, Astoria's voice sounded again.

Hearing this, Mike immediately withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk in the direction he was pointing with a blank expression.

In the Slytherin lounge, there were still several students sitting around the carved chairs near the fireplace, and the arrival of Mike and the Weasley brothers instantly attracted their attention.

Obviously, they had already received the notice that Mike would come, so they didn't do anything, but stared at Mike and the others with malicious eyes.

The faint green light from the crystal chandelier on the ceiling hit their faces, making them look like vampires.

Mike ignored them, and led Weasley and others straight to a gate under the guidance of Astoria.

At this time, Astoria, who had been following Mike, suddenly accelerated to come to Mike, and knocked on the door instead of Mike who wanted to push the door directly.

The door opened quickly, Mike took a deep look at the other party, and then entered the room alone.

As for the two Weasley brothers, they were blocked from the door.

Mike wasn't surprised by this at all, rather, Mike was already surprised that the two of them could go so far with him.

You must know that this is the base camp of Slytherin, and Mike didn't say hello in advance that he would bring someone before he came.

It was no surprise that the two of them were stopped at the entrance to the lounge.

What appeared in front of Mike was a reception room. Compared with Mike's reception room in the Masonic Secret Realm, it is a bit more quaint. The tables, chairs and decorations inside all have a heavy feeling accumulated over time. It looks very pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, on the sofa in the reception room, a young man stood up.

"Mike, you're finally here, haha!"

"Hi, Chris."

"How have you been lately?"

"About this, I'm afraid it's hard to describe." Mike's eyes fell on the shining silver armband on Chris's arm, "But it seems that you are doing well."

"Hahaha! It's okay." Chris noticed Mike's gaze and said, "This is Umbridge's trust in me, saying that he can give me the same rights as the president of the student union. But I think this It's not very useful."

……

The two exchanged hypocritical politeness, and then sat down on the sofa chair facing each other. After sitting down, Mike asked straightforwardly without the slightest nonsense:
"What about things?"

"Here it is."

Chris smiled and placed a locket with the Slytherin logo engraved on it on the coffee table between them.

Mike immediately picked up the pendant box and looked at it, while Chris raised his legs and said:
"To be honest, this thing is not very useful to me. I feel boring after playing for a few days, so it is not impossible to give it to you. But I noticed that you actually started issuing a reward order a few months ago to find this It's a thing. It makes me wonder why you want to get this locket so much? It's just an antique with some value. I can understand that those purebloods are chasing it for vain honor, but you But a . . . Muggle-born wizard. Why does it have to be?"

Mike ignored Chris and concentrated on observing the locket in front of him.

Before coming here, Penello had given Mike all the means of identifying the authenticity of the pendant box.

Although Mike memorized everything, he felt that it was unnecessary, because he knew very well that Slytherin's pendant box must be a Horcrux, so as long as Voldemort's soul was not detected in it, then the pendant box must be fake .

Now, Mike has encountered such a situation - there is no Voldemort's soul in the locket at all, not even a little bit of Voldemort's breath!

This locket is fake!

This was Mike's first reaction.

But after calming down a little and testing the pendant box according to the method given by Penello, the conclusion is that the pendant box is genuine!
Now Mike is completely dumbfounded!
