Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 451 Conflict
Professor Slughorn's eyes widened, and his bright exaggerated blue eyes, combined with his snow-white beard quivering from shock, made him look even more comical.

"Merlin, are you still a member of Raven's Claw Mark? As far as I know, it is a semi-closed private social organization. Except for a very small number of outstanding people, no one else is accepted to join."

"Yes, Raven's Claw Mark is indeed quite closed, and I joined through Professor Flitwick's recommendation. By the way, you should know Professor Flitwick, right?"

"You mean Felius? Of course, he was already the professor of Charms at Hogwarts before I retired..." Slughorn paused and observed After seeing Mike's expression, he continued, "I have to say that he is the most outstanding Charms professor I have ever seen. His big head is full of countless knowledge and love for students!"

"Really? I think so too! Professor Flitwick's status in my heart is no less than that of Principal Dumbledore, even worse, they are all great wizards!"

Mike laughed happily, although he didn't know whether Slughorn was telling the truth, but that didn't matter, as long as someone said good things about Professor Flitwick, he would be very happy.

Professor Slughorn obviously noticed this too, and complimented Professor Flitwick a few more words, which made Mike laugh out loud, and the students around saw that the two had a happy conversation and finally began to communicate. , the atmosphere at the scene is gradually becoming hotter.

"Mike, come and taste my craftsmanship. I don't use any magical power to roast quail, I rely entirely on handwork. I believe that only in this way can I make the most precious dishes. As for the food made by magic, I think it is It's dry and tasteless like a product made on an assembly line."

While talking, Slughorn pushed a lunch box in front of Mike. Inside was a steaming crispy roasted quail, surrounded by many green leafy vegetables. Stuffed with a bright red cherry.

Mike looked at it for a moment, and finally stretched out the knife and fork.

Cut a piece of crispy skin with a little fat and lean meat on the quail and put it in his mouth.

"Well, your craftsmanship is quite good."

After saying that, Mike put down the knife and fork, and didn't intend to try again.

This kind of behavior was actually a bit disrespectful, but instead of being angry, Professor Slughorn nodded in satisfaction.

He is very aware of his cooking skills, which is not considered bad, but there is a big gap between him and a top chef. If Mike is really a noble person who never tires of eating fine food, then he hastily put inferior food The act of handing it to the other party is considered rude.

Thinking of this, the smile on Slughorn's face became even brighter, and he even began to wonder if Mike came from a noble family in Muggle society, otherwise, why would he be able to see the muggle at a glance? The best part of a quail is that layer of crispy skin?

While Slughorn was thinking wildly, Shuke finally came back.

I saw him salute to Mike, and then directed the plates he brought to fly onto the dining table, which contained a lot of delicacies, most of which were meat, just looking at the amount, some people would even I wonder if Shu Ke directly roasted a cow!

Seeing this, the boys around cheered. For teenagers of this age, meat is their favorite.

Fortunately, they all maintained the most basic upbringing, and they all thanked Mike first before they started to wolf down.

"Don't be polite, don't be polite to me, eat quickly."

Mike said with a smile, and he casually took a piece of steak and ate it.

Seeing this, Slughorn's face was a little puzzled, because although these tableware looked expensive, the barbecue inside was just ordinary Muggle Wagyu, which was really not precious.

This is obviously inconsistent with Mike's previous identity.

"Professor Slughorn, you should try it too. Shuke's barbecue is really good. I've fallen in love with this taste recently."

"Okay, okay..." Slughorn started to cut the steak when he heard the words, "By the way, Mike, did you just say you still have a company?"

After swallowing the steak in his mouth completely, Mike said:
"That's right, to be precise, it should be a group, maybe you have heard of it, its name is Los Santos."

"The Los Santos Group?" Slughorn looked horrified, "You mean the Los Santos Group?"

"Yes, that was created by me."

Hearing this, Slughorn swallowed heavily.

After so many years of development, the tentacles of the Los Santos Group have almost extended to all walks of life in the wizarding world of the country. Its name is so big that even Slughorn, who was almost in seclusion before The old people have heard of it once or twice.

But the reason why Slughorn really remembers this name is because the Los Santos Group has recently started selling a special potion auxiliary liquid called Los Santos Magic Liquid.

Although the name has changed, Slughorn easily recognized its true identity——Avery Magic Liquid with his own experience!

This was supposed to be a monopoly product exclusively managed by the Avery family, but now it appears in the merchandise window of the Los Santos Group.

Thinking about the recent closure of all the stores of the Avery family, and even the disappearance of people in the family settlement, Slughorn suddenly had a big guess.

"Uh, Mike, as far as I know, your Los Santos Group is selling a product called Los Santos Magic Liquid recently, right?"

"That's right, professor. It's a potion aid, and I can give you some if you need it."

"That's not what I mean, what I want to ask is, this Los Santos magic liquid seems to be similar to Avery..."

Professor Slughorn's words came to an abrupt end, because he was horrified to find that the face of the young man opposite him, who had a happy face before, became extremely horrified after hearing the name of the Avery family. His eyes were staring straight at him, so he had to stop talking.

"The Avery family, hehehe." Mike approached Professor Slughorn with a smile and said softly, "I advise you not to inquire about the Avery family anymore. After all, that is in the past tense, they Never again, Professor."

"I...I understand."

Professor Slughorn's hand holding the fork trembled slightly, but his expression was quite normal.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward. Mike lost the interest in continuing to chat with Slughorn, and ate the steak quickly and gracefully by himself.

Slughorn sat there with a face of embarrassment. He seemed to want to find other people to continue chatting, but he was afraid that Mike would feel rude, so he was a little at a loss.

But at this moment, a commotion erupted from the crowd on the side. Mike and Slughorn looked up and saw Harry, Neville and Ginny surrounded by other people .

"The savior of the world, huh? You think this name sounds good, don't you? Harry the Thief?"

I don't know who said that in the crowd, and then everyone burst into laughter.

Facing the ridicule, Harry's face was so red that it almost caught up with Ginny's hair. He gasped and roared:
"It's not my fault! It's the group of people from the Daily Prophet..."

"Aha! That's another set of rhetoric, Harry Potter! Every time you encounter something, the first thing you think of is to wash away the responsibility. Can't you stand upright once, the savior?"

The surrounding drum noise became louder, and everyone shouted the four words "Savior of the World" over and over again, with extremely exaggerated expressions and tones, making it annoying.

Harry ducked his head, his fists clenched tightly.

This made the surrounding crowd even more excited, a senior Ravenclaw jumped out, grabbed Mike by the collar and said:

"Aha! The savior is angry! Let's see, what are you capable of?"

Hearing that the people around him also agreed, but Harry didn't take any action. He knew very well that there would be no good fruit for him to do it here.

But if he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't help him.

Amidst the laughter, a large group of bats suddenly appeared and rushed towards the people surrounding Harry.

Each of these bats has a wingspan of more than one meter. The appearance of this super large group of bats suddenly made the scene chaotic. Everyone was frantically waving their arms and wands to drive these bats away, but those bats Without the slightest fear, he went forward bravely and killed the wizards with their helmets and armor.

Mike watched this scene dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

He just saw Ginny raised her wand and summoned these ferocious bats. This behavior really couldn't make Mike associate her with the kind and lovely little girl before.

"How is it, Mike? This little girl's level is not bad, right? I think people's level is very accurate. She is definitely a talented person, and she will definitely achieve something in the future." Professor Slughorn said with a smile , "But now is not the time to talk about this, I have to stop this farce."

After finishing speaking, Professor Slughorn stood up, first loudly dissuaded him, and then waved his wand seeing that it had no effect at all.

"Left and right separation!"

Accompanied by Slughorn's chanting, a nearly transparent gray light shrouded everyone.

However, what happened next was extremely embarrassing.

I saw those light gray rays of light had just fallen, and Emma and the others, who were still in a mess, gathered together after a while of adjustments, and then a layer of protective shields burst out vigorously, covering the surrounding people. Bats and even Slughorn's left and right separation spells all bounced off!
Mike raised his eyebrows. He is very familiar with this tactical formation. It is a simple version of the combat formation he gave to the DA Army and the Mutual Aid Association. After the night attack on the Ministry of Magic, this formation has been circulated in Hogwarts. Come on, I didn't expect these people in front of me to be able to use it so well.

However, this is not over yet. Emma and the others glared at Harry, Ginny and the others after deploying all the protection to disperse the bats. Their original purpose was to encourage Harry to attack them, and then wait for others to attack them. Take a shot to teach the other party a lesson, but they really didn't expect Harry's attack to be so swift and violent, which directly made them make a big fool of themselves!

In a rage, everyone disregarded Slughorn's obstruction before, one by one directly raised their wands, and began to cast all kinds of curses at Harry's side!

Harry and Professor Slughorn on the other side couldn't believe their eyes. Emma and the others really dared to attack a professor?
'Abolishment Curse', 'Incisor Matching Stick', 'Slug Curse'...

All kinds of prank spells turned into beams of light and shot straight towards Harry. Ginny's small face had turned pale at this moment, and she finally realized that she had caused trouble.

She looked at Harry with guilt and worry, but instead of blaming her, the latter blocked her behind!
"Neville, prepare to guard safely!"

Harry roared and raised his wand, and Neville, who was still in a daze, hurriedly took out his wand after hearing the words!
Under the efforts of the two of them, a faint mist appeared around them. The magic power of the two of them is still too little, so they can only build this low-level safe guard.

It's just that this is enough, Emma didn't use too powerful curses here, those mischievous spells hit the mist straightly, and were bounced away immediately.

For a moment, the carriage was full of curses scurrying around, and an expelling weapon even hit Slughorn straight, knocking the wand in his hand into the air!

"Damn it, stop it!" Professor Slughorn snarled. "You guys are the worst class of students I've ever had. I'm going to lock you all up!"

However, in the face of Slughorn's snarl, Emma and the others had mocking smiles on their faces.

"Please contact our dean, Professor Slughorn, but I don't think they will punish us!" Emma shouted excitedly, "You must know that Harry Potter attacked us first. , we are just fighting back in self-defense!"

As soon as this remark came out, the wizards around Emma also burst out laughing!
Slughorn was trembling with anger, but he didn't continue to swear meaninglessly. Instead, he frantically looked for his wand everywhere. As long as he had the wand in his hand, he would definitely be able to subdue these little bastards. Be so convinced.

However, Harry and Neville are not feeling very well at the moment. The attacks of Emma and others are still going on, and the power of the curse is getting stronger and stronger. It is obvious that the other party has become a little impatient. If this continues, then their own It's only a matter of time before someone loses!

For a moment, both Harry and Neville were in despair, while Ginny, who was behind them, looked at Mike who was not far away with pleading eyes.

She knew very well that if anyone could stop all this now, it must be Mike!
