Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 388 Dumbledore's Gift

Due to unfinished work, Mike did not return directly to the lounge after parting with the Weasley brothers. Instead, he came to the Masonic base to work. By the way, he asked Victor and Benjamin to give them to the Weasley brothers. Two just the right amount of help, but not too much either.

After all, if the Weasley brothers had blown up Hogwarts Castle, they would have nowhere to go to school.

But when Mike returned to the dormitory late at night, he was taken aback!
The general layout of the items and furniture in the bedroom is the same as when Mike left before, but there is a small cloth bag on his desk.

Mike, who noticed the abnormality, entered the fighting state almost instantly. He didn't even use two layers of transparent shields consisting of armor body protection and all protection to completely cover it without using the magic wand.

However, the expected attack did not come, and the room was silent except for the whining sound of the wind blowing against the windows outside.

But Mike didn't relax his vigilance at all. Instead, he held the shield and carefully observed every corner of the room until half an hour later, after Mike confirmed that there was no threatening thing in other places in the room He just looked at the small cloth bag on the desk.

In the field of vision of magic power perception, the small cloth bag exudes a faint magic aura, which shows that the items inside are indeed extraordinary items with magic power, but they are not too lethal.

At this point, Mike was relieved.

Some people may think that Mike's doing this is completely superfluous, but in fact it is indeed a very scary thing for such a package to suddenly appear in his room.

You must know that Mike takes his own safety very seriously.

Therefore, in addition to the original forbidden magic of Hogwarts, his dormitory was also equipped with a large number of protective spells and warning spells. Usually, even if someone passed by the door of his room, he could see clearly. The original anti-apparition spell and anti-apparition spell in Gewarts Castle, Mike can guarantee that no one in Hogwarts can enter his room without his permission.

Not even the house-elves in the kitchen - Mike refused room service from the Hogwarts house-elves after he got the Shukbettas.

But in such a room whose defense was comparable to that of Gringotts after being robbed, a package suddenly appeared now!
Mike is incredible about this!

Taking a deep breath, Mike shook his wand at the package on the desk, and then the package floated up, and was automatically opened in mid-air, revealing the contents inside.

It was a small bottle of transparent liquid, two beautiful fiery red feathers, a letter and a small rolled up note.

The wand flicked again, and the only letter among the few items that did not have any magical reaction was automatically disassembled, unfolded and floated in front of Mike.

I saw that it was clearly written in extremely ordinary black ink:

Remember, the key to a legend is belief as well as emotion.

To Mike

Your friend - Albus Percival... Dumbledore

Seeing this, Mike's originally frowning brows relaxed instantly, and at the same time, he also understood what was going on.

Phoenix Fox!
As one of the most powerful and peculiar magical creatures, the phoenix possesses an advanced apparition technique that is extremely difficult to counteract, which makes it extremely efficient as a messenger. This package must be Dumbledore's let Fox sent here.

And the most important thing is what Dumbledore said in the letter!
The key to the legend lies in belief and emotion!
These words made Mike's heart beat faster involuntarily.

Many people have always felt that there is no power classification in the wizarding world, because there are too many accidents in the battles between wizards. Even a well-armed Auror will die in the hands of a small wizard if he is accidentally attacked. hand.

But in fact, there is a clear classification in the wizarding world, that is legendary and ordinary!
The gap between these two realms is so big, it's like a pile of earth placed on Mount Tai!
Even Snape, who has almost reached the pinnacle of ordinary wizards, will become as helpless as a child when facing legendary wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore.

However, what is strange is that there is such a huge gap in strength between these two realms, but none of the wizards has ever reached the level between them.

Almost all wizards, their strength is as high as the sky, which is about the same level as Snape, and no one can say that they are slightly inferior to Dumbledore, but they can completely crush Snape. Kind of top professor.

This situation is as if there is a special lock that firmly locks the upper limit of the strength of ordinary wizards like Snape. Legendary wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort are the ones who broke this lock. After that layer of shackles, their strength is no longer limited, and it has increased several times in an instant!
Now that Mike's strength has gradually approached that layer of shackles, if Mike's guess about the legendary realm is correct, then the sentence sent by Dumbledore is very meaningful, because there may be hidden in it. The key to the shackles!
But what do beliefs and emotions mean?

Does it mean that breaking through the shackles requires firm belief and extremely stable emotions?

Or does it have other meanings?

Mike scratched his head in distress, he is really confused now!
Gritting his teeth, Mike suppressed his curiosity about the 'key' and put the letter into the bag.

Then, Mike turned his attention to the remaining things on the desk.

The other things are nothing interesting. After knowing that the sender is Dumbledore, Mike has already guessed what the liquid in the small bottle and the two beautiful feathers are.

If there is no accident, they should be the tears of the phoenix (which can treat various injuries including poisonous wounds) and the feather of the phoenix (a rare magic material that can be used to make wands and various potions. and magic rituals), the only thing left that made Mike curious was the little rolled up note.

It was a very ordinary roll of parchment, and its edges even had burrs caused by the unstable force when it was torn, but it exuded a faint magical aura, which meant that some kind of magic was applied to it. kind of curse.

Mike carefully directed the note to open in mid-air, and saw that the note was blank with nothing written on it.

But just when Mike was puzzled by this, a light blue brilliance emerged from the parchment, and formed a string of English words in mid-air—the middle of the forest twenty miles west of Norwich On the west side of the small lake, there are three elm trees arranged in parallel.

Mike frowned suspiciously.

The sentence composed of a string of English letters made Mike a little confused. The only thing he could think of was the address.

and many more!

address?

Suddenly, the name of a spell flashed in Mike's mind - the spell of loyalty!

As we all know, houses protected by the Fidelity Curse have a secret keeper. As long as the secret keeper does not tell others the exact address of the house, that person will not find the house even if he puts his face on the window of that house. where!
So could this bizarre address be the address of a house protected by the Fidelity Charm?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mike's face.

If his guess is true, then Dumbledore should probably be in that house too!
But, so what?

Mike had no interest in Dumbledore's whereabouts at all. If something really happened to Hogwarts, he didn't believe that Dumbledore would show up!
"call!"

A gust of wind sounded suddenly, and the light blue text floating in the air deformed again, and finally disappeared after displaying 'Don't tell anyone'.

Smiling and shaking his head, Mike threw the useless note into the trash, then impatiently took out the letter and studied it carefully.

……

A week later, in the Ravenclaw boys' dormitory, Mike screamed and tore the letter from Dumbledore to pieces.

During this whole week, Mike gave up almost all activities, and all the time except the necessary eating and class was spent on studying the letter. He even conducted a detailed magic test on the letter, but The final result is still nothing.

What is the key to legend lies in belief and emotion?

Mike panted heavily, staring at the debris all over the floor with his bloodshot eyes.

Now he really hated Dumbledore.

There are always some people in this world who like to engage in such mysterious things, as if others don't deserve what they give if they haven't gone through all kinds of hardships!
Since you have given everything, you can’t speak in plain language, can you make it clear?
Why use this method?

In the final analysis, it is stingy, wanting to give you something but feeling unwilling, so they deliberately create some difficulties to embarrass you, so that if you can't solve those difficulties, they can frown and shake their heads, and smile in their hearts It's a pity to say something sarcastic.

After complaining about Dumbledore in his heart, Mike pushed the door away. Now he is still some distance away from the peak of ordinary wizards, so there is no need to spend all his time studying that sentence.

With that skill, why not ask Dumbledore directly the next time you see him!
As soon as he opened the door, Mike found many Ravenclaws standing outside his bedroom door, and they all looked at him worriedly.

"Mike, what happened?" Franklin asked worriedly, "You look bad right now."

Looking at Franklin and the students around him, the anger in Mike's heart was slightly moved.

In the past few days, Mike has locked himself in the dormitory all day long, and even the meals are brought in by them. It must be his abnormality that has aroused the concern of the students.

Taking a long breath, a smile appeared on Mike's face with thick dark circles, and said:

"It's all right now, thank you for your concern."

Hearing this, Franklin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He is the person who has been with Mike for the longest time, so he knows Mike very well. Since Mike said it's okay, it's really okay.

"Let's go eat quickly, I'm almost suffocating after so many days. Today I want to relax!"

As Mike spoke, he grabbed Franklin and started walking out of the lounge door.

Franklin's expression suddenly became extremely frightened. He pulled Mike's arm and wanted to back away, but how could his strength compare to Mike's.

Ever since, Mike and Franklin pushed the door knocker of the eagle head straight away, but just as the door was pushed open, a red dragon head made entirely of flames attacked them!

"Oh!"

The huge fire dragon head hit Mike's armor body directly, causing no damage to the two of them except for a circle of waves rippling on the shield.

"This..." Mike looked at Franklin who was hiding behind him with a puzzled expression, "What's going on here?"

"Have you forgotten, Mike. You sent the Weasleys to find Benjamin and Victor, and they gave George and Fred some weird stuff, including magic drones and all sorts of Mischief potion for herpes, warts and slugs. And today is the day they carry out their plans!"

Mike was also taken aback when he heard the words. His thoughts were all on Dumbledore's letter these days, so he forgot a lot of things. Now that he thinks about it carefully, the Weasley brothers seem to have really informed him that they are about to implement the plan, but I didn't care at all.

"Mike, I think we'd better go back." Seeing Mike's pensive expression, Franklin persuaded, "Those fireworks and potions are really scary. With drones, those fireworks are almost useless. It's not big, but they still hurt when they hit people! And the most terrifying thing is that the Weasley brothers also added a lot of mischief potions to those fireworks, and if they get hit, they will be uncomfortable for several days!"

Mike turned his head to look at Franklin and said:

"That's why you're all hiding in the lounge?"

"That's right! Brother Weasley still has a conscience. He notified us in advance and told us to hide in the lounge today and not go out. Now most of the people who are attacked outside are Slytherins. Mlitch, she and the Slytherins were always inseparable."

Hearing that, the expression on Mike's face softened a little. If the Weasley brothers really carried out such inhuman revenge on all the teachers and students, then Mike really has to consider the character of some members of the Freemasonry up.

Reckless, mindless and cruel people are not among the partners Mike wants to win over!
Thinking of this, Mike walked out the door. Today is the day when the Weasley brothers leave Hogwarts, and he wants to see them off in person.

Seeing this, Franklin who was behind him was terrified, but in the end he gritted his teeth and followed.

Ever since, the two of them, one in front and one behind, walked slowly towards the auditorium in the face of the constant explosions around them!
