Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 465 Sudden Attack

The next five balls all hit the woodwork without exception, and Cormac didn't even touch the edge of the Quaffle.

The batsmen are already cheering and celebrating, they feel that their state is really bursting today!
Cormac, on the other hand, was lying on the broomstick with a dull face, he was already beaten.

Cormac rubbed his eyes vigorously. He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. He clearly saw the clear trajectory of the balls after that, but no matter how hard he threw, he couldn't touch the balls.

Obviously, there must be nothing wrong with his eyes, and the root cause of all this is actually Hermione.

She started secretly cursing Cormac as early as the fifth ball.

All it took was a simple Confusion Charm, and Cormac's entry test was over.

Mike, who was beside Hermione, saw all of this, but he didn't intend to stop him at all. Instead, he stood up straight and deliberately covered Hermione's figure.

After finishing all this, Hermione retired. She put away her wand again, adjusted her skirt again, and then looked at Mike beside her.

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence.

Many people in Hogwarts are saying that Hermione is a copy of Professor McGonagall when she was young, because both of them have very rigid personalities, and they value rules more than anything else. Even Harry and Ron, people who get along with Hermione day and night, think so.

But in Mike's view, Hermione is Hermione, not a copy of Professor McGonagall when he was young.

Hermione's behavior this time is the best proof.

In the previous situation, McGonagall would not secretly act, which is against the rules.

But Hermione did this, which means that Hermione cares more about friends than rules, or in other words, Hermione is willing to give up the ethics she has always insisted on for the sake of friends.

This may be because Hermione was influenced by Harry and the others, but it is undeniable that such behavior made Hermione more humane.

Thinking of this, the expression on Mike's face became softer.

At this time, Cormac on the field finally stopped his movements and fell back to the ground. Now he just feels ashamed and thrown home, and just wants to get out of here quickly.

His eye sockets became a little red from rubbing for a long time, and he looked like he was crying.

This scene made the girls in the stands flooded with maternal love, crying and calling Cormac's name one by one.

Mike was a little speechless. He felt that although Hermione's hype made Cormac look ugly, it also made him gain a lot of mother fans.

But Hermione obviously didn't realize this at this time, she looked at the audience excitedly, at this moment Ron was slowly ascending on a broomstick.

Compared with other test personnel, his equipment is luxurious, whether it is the set of Irish team signature armor that Harry lent him or the Firebolt left by George Fred, it makes him extraordinarily luxurious.

But the huge advantage of the equipment obviously didn't give Ron much confidence. Mike could clearly see that Ron, who was riding on the Firebolt, was trembling nervously.

"Oh! He's so nervous!" Hermione yelled anxiously. "He's always like this. It's an old problem. When there are too many people, he gets nervous!"

After saying that, Hermione raised her wand again, and took Mike to cheer for Ron with a loud spell.

The huge shout easily reached Ron's ears, and he turned his head stiffly to look at the stands, and gave Mike and Hermione a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Um, I think he's getting more nervous when we do this."

"It seems so," Hermione put down her wand in embarrassment, "Let's not talk, just watch."

Ron's test finally started.

The batsmen are in hot form, with high-speed shots hitting the goal after another high-speed shot, but the strange thing is that Ron is like some shit luck, no matter how fast the Quaffle is. , he can easily save it from the goal.

After a few balls, Ron finally gained confidence. He panted heavily, his eyes kept moving with the Quaffle, and his body stopped shaking.

This makes his culling all the more deadly.

Finally, the test results came out. Among the ten balls, Ron saved seven balls in total, temporarily ranking first among all testers!
Ron yelled excitedly, and there were scattered applause and cheers from the stands.

"That's better than his best in training!"

Hermione was also shouting excitedly, but Mike on the side only felt it was amused.

He saw very clearly just now that although the batters acted very similarly, they were indeed out of control.

Probably because of the face of the two brothers George and Fred.

Mike quickly made a judgment.

Although he thought so, on the surface Mike was still very happy and cheered for Ron along with Hermione.

After 10 minutes, the emotional Ron finally left the field, but the goalkeeper's test continued.

It's just that the people who were tested next were obviously not interested, and all of them lowered their heads and were sullen.

This is not surprising, Ron has achieved such good results that he has almost confirmed his status as the goalkeeper of the main team, and the probability of them being selected is almost zero.

This kind of test is undoubtedly not exciting enough. Many spectators in the stands have already started to leave, but Mike and Hermione didn't do this-they still have to wait until the test is over to celebrate with Ron and the others.

But they didn't pay attention to the test either. Mike looked at Hermione with a smile, and asked involuntarily:

"Hermione, have you considered working for the Los Santos Corporation after graduation?"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Hermione looked surprised.

McConton felt a little disappointed, Hermione's performance already represented that she had never considered going to the Los Santos Group.

But he still didn't notice it, and went on to say:

"Because I think your ability is very good, and the Los Santos Group needs excellent talents like you. And most importantly, I want to see you every day after graduation."

There is another important reason Mike didn't say, that is, Hermione is also a Muggle-born wizard.

This is crucial, because what Mike wants to build is an organization dominated by wizards of Muggle descent.

Therefore, the bloodline discrimination from top to bottom within the Los Santos Group is quite serious, but this kind of discrimination is reversed from the outside world. People with purer bloodlines are treated worse.

However, a red cloud appeared on Hermione's face when she heard that, she lowered herself and rubbed her robe, looking very embarrassed.

After a while, Hermione suddenly raised her head as if she had made a decision, and said to Mike in a firm and apologetic tone:

"Sorry, Mike, please allow me to refuse."

"why?"

Although this result had been expected for a long time, Mike was still very disappointed at this time.

"Because I want to work for the Ministry of Magic."

"You want to go into politics?!"

Mike's voice suddenly increased, because Hermione's decision was too outrageous in his opinion. With Hermione's character, the only result of being in politics is to be eaten by others, including the bones.

Hermione, however, nodded firmly.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand, why do you want to go into politics?"

"Mike, what do you think of the entire wizarding society's attitude towards people of Muggle blood and even mixed blood?"

"Pretty bad and getting worse."

Mike said without hesitation that what he said was all the truth. With the return of Voldemort, the social status of all Muggle blood and even mixed blood is constantly declining.

Among them, Voldemort's terrorist attacks on Muggle-blooded wizards are only a small part of the reason, because although the Death Eaters are under the banner of targeting mudbloods and half-bloods, in fact they are not malicious to pure-bloods. No less than a pair of Mudbloods.

The main reason for all this is that some pure-bloods blamed all the losses they suffered due to Voldemort's actions on Muggle-bloods and half-blood wizards, while some half-blood wizards blamed all this on Muggle wizards. .

This is actually a very stupid logic, because the culprits of all this are obviously Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but these people are all blamed on the Muggle wizards who are the same victims as them.

It's just that Mike is not surprised by this phenomenon at all, because history has already proved that such clowns will always jump out before disaster strikes.

And the behavior of these clowns also made it easier for him to unite Muggle-born wizards. In a sense, Mike has to thank them.

"I think this kind of phenomenon is wrong, people should not be divided into three or six or nine grades just because of their blood!"

Hermione said firmly.

"So you are in politics because you want to..."

"That's right, I want to change all of this!" Hermione blushed and said excitedly, "The only shortcut to achieve this goal with my power is to become a politician! I will slowly pass laws to change this everything."

"However, the current situation of the Ministry of Magic in China is not optimistic."

"Are you referring to Voldemort?" Hermione said, "I believe Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will get rid of him, well, I firmly believe!"

"And what if Voldemort wins in the end?"

"This..." Hermione was silent. She didn't seem to have considered this issue before, and said slowly after a while, "Then I will leave the country and go to the French Ministry of Magic or the American Ministry of Magic. In short, my determination It will not change, and I will take this as my life's work to complete!"

As she spoke, Hermione's eye circles turned red, as if she was moved by her speech.

But Mike shook his head insignificantly. In his opinion, Hermione's speech just now was completely the fearless speech of a newborn calf.

Courage is commendable, but it is not worth listening to in the slightest.

Hermione was still too young and experienced too little.

This makes her look at things very superficially, often not aware of the true appearance of things.

Not to mention whether she can withstand the test of people's hearts and the pressure of the ancient pure-blood families after becoming a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic.

But she would never be able to make it to the top of the Ministry of Magic, especially in the Kingdom of Magic.

You must know that the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China is the stronghold of pure-blood nobles, and none of the high-level officials in it is of Muggle origin.

And the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China also has strong gender discrimination (don’t be surprised, the gender discrimination of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China is very serious, which can be seen from the 'Magic Brothers Fountain'. But compared to the feudal society of human In terms of the oppression of women in the wizarding society, women's equal rights are still good, but this is actually based on the fact that witches also have strong individual strength.), so the difficulty of completing Hermione's ideal is no longer a nightmare Level, but Genesis level!
Mike sighed, he was no longer ready to continue communicating with Hermione on this topic, no matter what a young man of this age said was useless.

But just when he was about to change the subject, there was a tingling sensation between his brows for no reason.

Startled, Mike instinctively turned his head to look at the Quidditch pitch, and then saw a Quaffle zooming in and out of his field of vision!

"what!"

Mike let out a shout, and then a powerful magic power burst out from his body!

This powerful magical force formed an unmatched repulsive force at the moment of leaving the body, and pushed Hermione out of the side in just a moment. At the same time, the Quaffle also collided with this repulsive force. Together!
"Yeah!"

An indescribable voice came out.

The speed of the high-speed spinning Quaffle was slightly reduced by the repulsive force, but the repulsive force was obviously not enough to stop it.

Moreover, Mike was also surprised to find that there was a strange black glow constantly flashing on the Quaffle at this time, which made Mike feel very bad.

Mike's premonition was right, because the next moment the black glow exploded, and the Quaffle also accelerated violently, hitting Mike's head at a faster speed than before!

The players on the field couldn't help but exclaimed. If Mike's head was hit directly by that kind of Quaffle that was as fast as a bullet, I'm afraid Mike's head would be blown into a ball of paste like a rotten tomato!
Fortunately, because the previous repulsion bought some time, Mike finally completed the deployment of the magic power before the Quaffle hit him, and raised his hand to block himself!

The blue veins on Mike's forehead popped up, his eyes were red, and he shouted with all his strength:

"All things are destroyed!"

The next moment, a cloud of pitch-black demonic flames shot out from his palm, and hit the Quaffle straight!

"Wow!~"

A strange siren sounded, and the moment the magic flame came into contact with the Quaffle, the black awn on it swelled up. The intensity of this terrifying black awn was far beyond Mike's expectation. The demon-eating effect carried by Fiendfire hit Mike!
Although it was only for a moment, a black spot instantly appeared on the place where Mike's palm was touched by the black light.

At this time, the Quaffle, which was the carrier of the black awn, had already been completely vaporized by Fiendfire's high temperature, but the black awn was still expanding, and was still thinking about doing more damage to Mike!
Seeing this, Mike's bloodshot eyes also narrowed...
