Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 390 Career Counseling
"You don't have to worry about their safety at all." Mike looked at Harry and Hermione who looked worried and said with a smile, "The two of them are in a very safe place now, and the Ministry of Magic will never find them .”

Hearing this, Harry was stunned, and Hermione blurted out after thinking for a while:
"You mean they have left the country now?"

Mike didn't answer, just smiled.

It's just that Mike's behavior made Hermione more sure of her own thoughts, and Harry next to him also came to his senses at this moment, with a suddenly enlightened look on his face.

"Okay, don't think about these things." Mike laughed, "You have been practicing Occlumency for a while now, and I feel that I can give you another test."

Harry nodded quickly, he felt that he had made rapid progress under Mike's careful teaching in the past week.

At least he won't fall asleep when he goes to empty his mind now.

And Hermione on the side showed a embarrassed look, letting others try to invade her brain, especially if the other party was Mike, which was really too embarrassing for Hermione.

Seeing that Hermione was a bit reluctant, Mike didn't force it, so after getting Harry to prepare for a while, he gave Harry a separate test on Legilimency and reciting spells.

The strength of the test Mike used this time was weaker than the first test. He didn't even use the full Legilimency spell. He just gave Harry an ordinary lie detector test.

That is, Mike asked Harry a simple question such as 'how old are you this year', and then Mike released a weakened version of Legilimency to conduct a lie detector on him.

However, even with such a simple quiz, Harry still failed.

Mike sensed Harry's thoughts clearly.

This made Mike have to wonder if Harry had the talent for Occlumency.

"How about it?"

Harry looked at Mike longingly, expecting his answer.

Mike had consulted a professional psychiatrist in his previous life because of his son's addiction to games, so he knew children of this age very well.

For a child of Harry's age, things are easiest to do.

What they like is continuous positive feedback. Many games use this continuous, visualized numerical growth as a positive feedback stimulus to make those mentally weak children addicted to the game.

But it is also very good to use this method to encourage children to learn in reality.

Just like Harry, if Mike keeps giving him positive feedback, allowing him to see with his naked eyes that his strength is constantly growing, then he can always remain enthusiastic about learning Occlumency.

Otherwise, the other party is likely to give up the study of Occlumency directly-this is the case in the original book.

So, after struggling for a while, Mike said slowly:
"Well, not bad. Compared with the first time, it has improved."

Harry immediately cheered when he heard the words, but at this moment Mike's cold water poured over him again.

"Don't be too happy, I still captured your idea this time, it's just that I was hindered in the process!"

It was said that Harry had turned into a chicken again, but soon regained his energy. After all, he still made progress this time, although it was not much.

Then Mike started chatting with Harry again, the topic was mostly about Dumbledore, and Mike wanted to try to interpret Dumbledore's words by getting to know Dumbledore.

Seeing that Mike didn't intend to test her, Hermione couldn't help but feel half worried and half happy.

The joy is that the secret in my heart is finally kept, but the worry is that I lost the opportunity to be praised by Mike.

Looking at the two people who were chatting enthusiastically, Hermione suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"Mike, are you ready for tomorrow's career counseling question and answer?"

"Professional question and answer? What is that?"

"You don't know?" Hermione's face flashed with surprise, "You can ask the professors some questions about the career you want to pursue in the future, and the professors will give you certain suggestions so that you can move towards Work hard for the career you want. Didn't Professor Flitwick inform you?"

"No!"

"But yes," Hermione said sourly upon hearing Mike's answer, "you don't need that at all."

Mike laughed, and didn't care about the sourness in the other party's tone, but asked:
"And you? Hermione, what career do you want to pursue in the future?"

"I……"

Hermione opened her mouth and was about to answer, but Harry beside her said first:
"I want to be an Auror! They are so handsome! And the point is that they are heroes fighting against the forces of black magic!"

What Harry said was righteous and excited, but Hermione, who was robbed of the conversation, was furious, and ruthlessly sarcastically said:
"Ah! Auror! What a lofty ambition! But you probably won't be able to do it, because to become an Auror, you need to obtain at least five newt certificates, and the grades can't be lower than 'good'. In addition, you must be in the Auror Luo's office has undergone a series of strict character and talent tests. You can't even do the first of these two points, and your grades are simply eye-catching! You can't even be a hitter, because hitters need at least five A newt certificate, one of which must be a Defense Against the Dark Arts certificate. But Umbridge will never let you pass the exam!
oh!I forgot to say that.Some of the careers I would like to pursue after graduation are spellbreaker, pharmacist, healer, or staff member of Werewolf Support Services.Of course, they also have the number of newt certificates and subject restrictions, but this is not a problem for me, because if there is no accident, I will get all 12 newt certificates, and all of them will be excellent! "

Mike opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Hermione opposite him with a dull look.

Harry, on the other hand, lowered his head in frustration.

But he wasn't angry with Hermione because of her words, in fact he knew very well that Hermione didn't mean any harm at all.

At that time, he was still very disappointed, because what Hermione said was correct, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to be an Auror.

You must know that poor grades can be improved by studying hard, but the relationship between him and Umbridge is really hopeless.

And as long as Umbridge is at Hogwarts, he will never pass his Defense Against the Dark Arts exam!
At this time, Hermione also noticed Harry's abnormality, and said softly with guilt:

"I'm sorry, Harry, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Harry waved his hands to show that he was fine, and at the same time forced a smile to face the two of them.

"It's okay, Harry." Mike slapped Harry on the shoulder heavily, "I believe in your ability, so if you really failed to get the newt certificate because you were targeted by Umbridge, You can still come to work in my company, I can guarantee that the job I give you will not be inferior to Auror in every way!"

"Really...really?"

"Of course, it's just a job, it's nothing."

"No, I mean..." Harry said with some coyness, "I mean do you really believe in my strength?"

Hearing this, Mike was taken aback for a moment, but soon returned to his original smile.

"Of course! We are good friends, don't I know you yet?"

Harry, who received positive feedback, regained his vitality once again. Seeing this, Mike said in his heart:
'Silly boy, you have no other advantages besides being kind by nature. You have the strength of a fart! '

……

The next day, when Dan Mike walked out of the dormitory rubbing his sleepy eyes, he found that everyone in the entire Hogwarts castle was humming a song loudly!

The Weasley brothers, they couldn't stand it for a moment, they stood up to injustice, Weasley is our king!
The Weasley brothers, who are selfless and hateful, sacrificed themselves to start a better future, Weasley our king!

Wesleys our king!Weasley is our king!Wesleys our king...

The song is called 'Weasley is our king! ', Mike was very impressed with this song, because in the original book, this song was used by the Slytherins to mock Ron Weasley, who had just entered the Quidditch field, but now it has become a song used by the Slytherins. An ode to George and Fred.

This song is not very pleasant, but it is better than the simple tune and the catchy lyrics. Every student who sings this song has a happy smile on his face, and even the professors who are usually unsmiling are humming softly at this time. Sing this song!
Mike was not surprised by this at all. After learning what Umbridge did to Hogwarts, Umbridge became the most hated person by all the teachers and students at Hogwarts, bar none.

Now that she's been forced to leave Hogwarts temporarily, it's certainly something to celebrate.

But the celebration is the celebration, and the professors still keep their own jobs in mind, so after playing around with the students in the auditorium for a while, Professor McGonagall announced the cancellation of today's fifth grade class, and all fifth grade students must go to their respective schools. Dean's Office, for careers counseling prior to Owl exams.

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of many fifth grade students changed suddenly except for a very few people.

Due to the large number, they had to immediately start going to the dean's office of their respective colleges.

The long queue was full of sad-faced students. They were actually looking forward to the future. After all, they were just a group of students who hadn't experienced the heavy blows of society.

But at the same time, they are also worried that the deans will ruthlessly destroy their illusions about the future.

But in this frowning face, Mike was surprised to find that Franklin beside him was still humming a little song with a fearless expression on his face.

"Franklin," Mike asked curiously, "Aren't you worried about career counseling?"

"Why should I worry about my job? After graduation, I will definitely hang around with you. Would you still treat me badly?" Franklin said indifferently, but as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something As if suddenly changing his face, he said to Mike with a look of horror, "What do you mean? You don't mean to say that you will leave me alone after graduation, do you?"

Mike suddenly became playful. Facing Franklin's question, he did not speak, but gave a meaningful smile.

This startled Franklin, he hurriedly grabbed Mike's arm and said:
"Don't, Mike! Don't you know? Except for flying class and charm class, my grades in other subjects are really bad, and I belong to the kind that definitely won't get the newt certificate!"

Seeing that Franklin was in a hurry, Mike stopped teasing him and said with a smile:
"I'm kidding brother! We started to make an oath, how could I ignore you!"

Hearing this, Franklin was relieved, but after he regained his strength, he complained about Mike. To him, this was not a funny joke.

In this regard, Mike also deeply realized that his joke was a bit too much, so he apologized directly.

While talking and laughing, everyone came to the door of Professor Flitwick's office together.

For the sake of confidentiality, career counseling must be one-on-one, so Mike and other Ravenclaws can only wait outside the office door and watch their classmates come and go in and out of the office.

Waiting is always frustrating, especially when the students who come out of Professor Flitwick's office all have bitter faces.

Mike's powerful mental power can clearly feel the tension called tension in the surrounding air.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Mike and Franklin stopped talking.

This is not to say that Mike is the kind of person who is easily influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, but if he and Franklin still put on such a confident look under such circumstances, they really deserve a beating!
Finally, Mike's name rang out in the office.

Mike pushed open the door of the office with big strides, and as soon as he entered, he saw Professor Flitwick sitting behind the special desk looking at him with a serious face.

"Good morning, Professor Flitwick."

"Hello, Mike," Professor Flitwick pointed to the seat opposite him with a straight face, "Sit down."

Mike felt a little baffled, and with the relationship between him and Professor Flitwick, Flitwick should not have such an attitude towards him.

But he still sat down across from him as promised, and until he sat down, Professor Flitwick went on to say:

"Mike, I didn't want to ask you to come to this career consultation. After all, it doesn't make any sense for you to find a job after graduation. But I discovered something recently, which made me change my mind."

Mike sat up a little, and he had a hunch that what Professor Flitwick was about to say might be the fundamental reason why Flitwick's attitude towards him changed so much.

Professor Flitwick turned over the parchment in front of him, and said sternly:

"I found that, except for Charms and Ancient Runes, your grades in other subjects are very bad!"

Hearing this, Mike was stunned. It had been a long time since anyone had mentioned his grades to him. In fact, almost everyone knew that Mike no longer needed to prove himself with grades, even he himself thought so , so apart from Charms because it was taught by Professor Flitwick, Mike didn't pay attention to other subjects, and even the daily tests were just coping.

But looking at Professor Flitwick's appearance now, it seems that the reason why he is so angry now is because his grades have dropped.

This... What is the reason for this?
As Flitwick teaches intelligence, he probably doesn't understand that grades are meaningless to him, right?
