Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 387 Give Young People a Chance

There are only three possibilities before Mike at this stage.

First: Both Penello and himself made a mistake. What Chris got was not the real Slytherin pendant box at all, but a high-quality imitation.

But this possibility is very small, because even if Penello is young and incapable, the appraisers invited are unreliable waste, but she still has Uncle Mario's supervision by her side. You must know that Uncle Mario The people hired by the characters are absolutely reliable. Mike doesn't think those people dare to deceive Uncle Mario, because there is no need for that at all, and even if they can't identify Uncle Mario, they won't do anything to them.But if they dare to lie, Uncle Mario will definitely make their lives worse than death afterwards.

Second: Chris didn't even intend to hand over the real locket to himself. The one he took out now is a fake that was imitated in a hurry!

This is the most likely option for Mike. After all, he and Chris have had a lot of trouble before, and it is not surprising that Chris would choose to retaliate against him in this way.

Third: What Chris took out was genuine, but the Voldemort fragment inside was removed by him by some means.

This is the least likely option, because Slytherin's pendant box is a milder Horcrux. Although it can also confuse the owner, its influence is gradual. It would be impossible to discover that it was a Horcrux!
In just a few minutes, Mike's mind was running fast, and he analyzed the three possibilities one by one. However, because the possibility of option [-] and option [-] is very high, Mike is still very entangled.

In the end, Mike decided to try a wave!
Thinking of this, Mike slowly raised his head, and looked at Chris on the opposite side with violent killing intent.

"Are you using this to fool me?"

Mike's voice was gloomy like the whining of a wild beast, and coupled with the powerful magic field emanating from his body due to violent emotional fluctuations, it made people shudder.

Chris obviously also noticed the change in Mike's mood, and a silver-black curved wand appeared in his hand instantly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The thing you took out is fake!" Mike looked at Chris coldly, and threw the pendant box in his hand, "I don't think you have any sincerity at all!"

As soon as the words came out, the expression on Chris' face changed to surprise.

Mike was overjoyed when he saw this, and the fingers of his right hand hidden under the coffee table shook a few times, and then a silent and invisible wave of magic power drifted towards Chris.

Mike is using Legilimency!

This simple version of Legilimency is not as powerful as the one used with a magic wand. It can completely invade the target's brain and flip through the memories inside at will. All it can do is observe a small amount of the target's thoughts for a moment.

But even so, it is enough to use it as a polygraph spell in such a situation where the target's psychology is lost!

However, Mike frowned when Legilimency hit Chris.

There is no other reason, but because he can't peep into Chris' thoughts at all!

Mike knew what was going on in an instant—Chris could do Occlumency too!
At this time, the astonishment on Chris's face had calmed down, and he stood up from the sofa chair with his wand, and said with a big smile:
"What I took out is definitely genuine! Hahaha! Mike, Mike, you don't need to use this method to bargain at all, because I don't want much at all! I know you have been secretly collecting information about the Hogwarts Big Four. relics, then there's a good chance you've already collected one of them. Well, Mike. I'll give you any of the Ravenclaw tiaras and Hufflepuff chalices in exchange for me. I will give you Slytherin's locket. At the same time, I can also give you a guarantee that as long as it is your person, we Slytherins will not provoke you, how about it?"

As soon as this remark came out, Mike's pupils shrank again.

Of the relics of the Big Four at Hogwarts, only Gryffindor's sword was not made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, and Chris just doesn't want Gryffindor's sword now. Is this a coincidence?
"Don't you want Gryffindor's sword?" Mike looked at Chris blankly, "Gryffindor's sword fell into the hands of a Slytherin, which will definitely drive Gryffindors crazy Yes. And as a Slytherin, isn't that what you want the most?"

Hearing this, Chris burst into laughter immediately, the volume of his laughter was so loud that even the flames in the fireplace in the reception room started to move.

Chris laughed for a long time, so long that Mike began to suspect that he was pretending to laugh to think about how to answer his own question before saying:
"Mike, you are right. In fact, if you have the ability to get that legendary silver sword out of the Sorting Hat, I would be happy to exchange it with you for Galleons or something else, but only Slater Lin's locket is definitely not acceptable! I think you don't know much about the founder of our college, His Excellency Slytherin. He is a proud man. It can be said that he has never thought highly of that idiot Gryffindor, so if It would be an insult to Lord Slytherin for me to exchange Slytherin's locket for Gryffindor's sword, because it would mean that they are both equal! Do you understand?"

Chris's explanation was well-founded, and Mike was speechless for a moment.

And now, since the pendant box that Chris took out was not a Horcrux at all, he has no interest in arguing with Chris anymore.

As for the Horcrux Slytherin's pendant box, Mike is sure that he has a great relationship with Chris, but he can't directly shoot Chris yet.

Knowing that he still had work to do at Hogwarts, it would be bad if he was expelled for making a rash move.

But Mike is not in a hurry. The comprehensive strength of the Freemasons has now expanded to a frightening level. Even places like Gringotts have been breached by them.

So it’s amazing that after the holiday, he rushed into Chris’s house with his friends from the Masonic Society. Mike couldn’t believe what lies Chris could say when he was pressed against his head with a magic wand!
Thinking of this, Mike waved his hand and walked towards the door without saying anything.

Chris behind him smiled and shook his head, sat back on the sofa chair and said loudly:

"Mike, my promise is valid for a long time, if you ever change your mind, come to me!"

He was answered with a loud bang as the door was slammed shut.

In the Slytherin lounge, when Mike came out of the reception room, he saw the two Weasley brothers holding up their wands, confronting a large group of Slytherin students.

Several of the younger Slytherin students were disgraced, and the Weasley brothers also had several new scars on their faces.

There must have been a battle here before Mike came out.

Seeing Mike appearing, the Slytherins instinctively took a few steps back, but the wands in their hands were still aimed at the three of them.

Mike instantly understood what was going on.

He and Chris made a lot of noise in the reception room just now, those Slytherins must want to enter the reception room to check the situation inside.

Then, they clashed with the two Weasley brothers.

But judging from the upturned corners of the mouths of the Weasley brothers, they shouldn't have suffered a lot in this conflict.

That's fine, Mike put away his wand silently, ignored the Slytherins who were watching him nervously, and walked towards the exit, the surrounding Slytherins gave way in fear.

The Weasley brothers also followed after seeing this, and before leaving the lounge, the two gave the Slytherins inside a provocative gesture, making the Slytherins wish they could come out and beat them up now pause.

However, this is of course impossible. After all, they Slytherins are not stupid, and they would not go up to seek their own death when Mike is around.

"Mike, are things going wrong?"

On the way back to the Ravenclaw lounge, George observed Mike's face and said carefully.

"That's right," Mike replied without turning his head, "the other party is not sincere."

"Oh, then he is really ignorant." Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, Mike. Anyway, the two of us will escape Hogwarts when we turn around, so why don't we teach him a lesson before we leave? ?”

Mike turned his head and looked at Fred. Although he knew that the other party had good intentions, he was still speechless because of the other party's childishness.

The Weasley brothers were still in their school days, and the highest degree of revenge that could be imagined was probably to tease Chris hard.

But Mike wasn't satisfied with that.

People like Chris hide things too deeply. If he wants to attack him, Mike will definitely choose to kill him with one blow!

Sighing, Mike said:
"No need, Chris is not that simple, don't act rashly."

After speaking, Mike quickened his pace and walked towards his lounge.

The Weasley brothers looked at each other in dismay, and only after a while did they catch up.

……

In a forest in the east of the country, an old villa with mottled exterior walls stands alone.

A huge pitch-black raven flapped its wings and flew towards the villa through the dense forest with incomparable agility.

The raven's speed was very fast, and it flew in front of the villa in a short while, and it continued to fly forward as if it hadn't noticed the existence of the villa at all.

If there were no accidents, this 'blind' raven would definitely crash to death on the outer wall of the villa.

But just when the tragedy was about to happen, the space around the villa was rippling with a layer of translucent waves, and then the raven climbed up at the last moment as if it had received some inspiration, bypassing the dangerous The walls flew up into the sky!
In a room on the second floor of the villa, standing by the window, Dumbledore nodded in relief as he watched the ravens drifting away.

This is the safe house with the strongest protection ability owned by Dumbledore. Not only is it surrounded by all the protective spells that can be added, but it is also cast with the Fidelity Curse, which can be said to be impenetrable.

At the same time, this is also the first and most important base of the Order of the Phoenix.Only the core and most powerful members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Moody, are qualified to know the existence of this base.

As for ordinary members of the Order of the Phoenix like Mr. Weasley, Dumbledore is actually not unwilling to tell them, but to be honest, how can you believe that a person who can't even Occlumency can keep a big secret Woolen cloth?
The reason why Dumbledore wanted Harry Potter to learn Occlumency was not only because he wanted to get Harry out of those annoying nightmares, but also because he wanted to hide Harry here.

After all, there is basically no safer place in the whole country than here.

"Crench!"

The old door made a decaying sound. Dumbledore, who was looking at the scenery outside the window seriously, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Moody had already opened the door and was limping towards him. Come.

"Dumbledore!"

Moody took the lead, looked a little angry, and his tone was a little aggressive.

Dumbledore turned his head and glanced at him, took a sizzling honey bee candy from the side coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth before he said to him in a daze:

"Alastor, what's the matter?"

"Why did you leave Hogwarts!" Moody said angrily, and while he was still approaching Dumbledore, the wooden artificial leg stepped on the floor and made a hurried sound, "You Now that we're gone, who's going to protect Harry Potter?"

"Minerva is still at Hogwarts, she will protect Harry."

Dumbledore said calmly, his attitude angered Moody, and Moody waved his arms and said hysterically:

"I guess you must be crazy! You actually left Hogwarts because of that Weasley family brat and that Mike! You are abandoning our plan and ignoring it. You must know the preconditions required to complete the prophecy now That's the most important thing, if anything happens to Harry, it will be over! Voldemort will rule the wizarding world!"

"Alastor, I've already said that Minerva will take good care of Harry." Dumbledore flicked the dust on his body helplessly. Moody's voice was too loud just now, shaking a lot of dust on the ceiling. It fell down, "If Ron and Mike were my students, I couldn't just sit and watch them be persecuted. Moreover, I did this to leave another possibility."

"Maybe? What do you mean by maybe? Do you expect those little guys to defeat..."

Moody suddenly got stuck in the middle of what he said, and he suddenly remembered that the little wizard named Mike did indeed have talents and strengths that far surpassed others!
Could it be that Dumbledore wanted to wait for Mike to grow up and defeat Voldemort?

As soon as this idea appeared, Moody shook his head vigorously. This idea was too unrealistic, and he really didn't want to believe it.

But facing Dumbledore, he said meaningfully:
"Actually, I don't think we should put all our eggs in one basket. If we give other young people some opportunities, maybe they can give you some unimaginable responses."

Dumbledore looked at the unbelievable expression on Moody's face, and turned his head with a smile, but at this time a ball of flames suddenly exploded in the room, and immediately, a bright phoenix emerged from the fire , fell on Dumbledore's shoulders.

"Good boy," Dumbledore patted Phoenix Fox's head, "Have the things been delivered?"

Phoenix Fawkes called out, seeing that the smile on Dumbledore's face became brighter, and he said with a smile:
"That's great, I hope he doesn't disappoint me."
