Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 51 Test
The space in the hut is very large, and it can be seen that this place, like No. 210 in Godric's Hollow, has also been attached with the No Trace Stretch Charm.

When Mike and Professor Flitwick entered the cabin, they found that someone had arrived early.

I saw two middle-aged men sitting around a huge strip conference table, talking and laughing with their legs crossed at the moment.

Seeing Mike and Flitwick coming in, one of them, a middle-aged man with curly brown hair, greeted them enthusiastically.

"Filius! Long time no see." The middle-aged man squatted down and gave Flitwick a hug, "We have to have a good drink today, it's true that you're stuck in Hogwarts every day and want to see you Difficult."

"Hahaha, we won't be drunk until today's business is done."

Hearing Flitwick talking about business, the middle-aged man looked at Mike and asked, "Is this the good seed you mentioned?"

"That's right, Mike Townley, the most gifted kid I've ever seen teaching at Hogwarts over the years." Professor Flitwick made an introduction, "Mike, this is Mario Foley, He is currently the deputy director of the Auror Office. His son should be familiar to you, that is, Abt Foley from our college, who was the chairman of the Hogwarts Boys' Union last year."

"I've known you for a long time, Mr. Foley." Mike stretched out his right hand, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "Senior Abbott has always been my idol, and I often heard him talk about having an excellent father. I heard that he won the OWLs this year To get 12 A's in the exam is really amazing."

Facts have proved that whether it is the East or the West, parents like to hear others praise their children.

As soon as this Mr. Mario heard Mike talking about his son, he immediately laughed heartily, grabbed Mike's outstretched hand and shook it vigorously.It can be seen that this is a very straightforward person.

Seeing how happily the two got along, the smile on Professor Flitwick's face became even brighter.

"Let me introduce this gentleman again." Flitwick pointed to the middle-aged man who was sitting alone at the conference table and looked a little cold, "Mr. Barty Crouch, the current director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Wizengamot Member of Parliament and a strong contender for Minister for Magic."

Old Batty's dark face turned livid when he heard Flitwick introduce himself in this way.Everyone knows that he lost to Fudge in the Ministry of Magic election because his son Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater. Flitwick even called himself a strong minister of the Ministry of Magic today. strong contender.It seemed to him a blatant insult.

However, his good self-cultivation prevented him from making any drastic moves, and he nodded slightly towards Mike.

Seeing this, Mike naturally wouldn't use his hot face to stick someone's cold ass, so he took it as acquaintance when he said hello.

After introducing the two, Professor Flitwick stood on tiptoe and began to look around, as if looking for something.

"Where's Old Carter? He's the host of today's test, why didn't you see him?" Flitwick turned to Mario and asked.

"Who knows? He got lost. As you know, he's old, and it's normal to have some dementia." Mr. Mario joked, "Ah, Cao Cao is here."

While the two were talking, a man with a goatee, white beard and hair, who looked older than Dumbledore opened the door and walked into the cabin.

"I seem to have heard someone speak ill of me, is it you Mario?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Haha, you must have heard it wrong, Carter. We are introducing you to Little Mike." Mr. Mario laughed twice and began to change the subject, "This is Gilga Carter, the former director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters , Permanent Member of the Wizengamot."

"This is Little Mike, what a handsome young man." Before Mike could speak, Gilga put his big hand on his head and said kindly, "Felius told me everything about you, really A poor child."

Mike felt the temperature from the top of his head, and he was a little uncomfortable.Although he has been in this body for more than a year, he still doesn't like other people's behavior of treating children like killing him by touching his head, so he can only say hello with a dry smile.

The four of them chatted and laughed happily at the door, and Old Batty on the side felt a little uncomfortable.Taking out his pocket watch and taking a look, he interrupted impatiently.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start. I still have a lot of work to do."

Mario was obviously upset when the conversation was interrupted, and he wanted to continue talking about his son with the two old friends.

"Okay, since Crouch still has work to do, let's get down to business first." Mr. Carter reached out his hand to stop Mario who was about to explode, and said talking.

After speaking, he took out his wand from his robe and waved it lightly, a silver-white bird stand appeared on the conference table, with a huge raven standing upright on it.This raven was about one meter tall, and its pitch-black feathers shone with a faint light, with clear lines on each root.The pair of claws were the size of an adult's palm, and the sharp claws flashed a cold light from time to time.

Mike thought it was a real raven at first, but realized it was a sculpture when he noticed the raven standing motionless on the bird stand.

"Okay gentlemen, today's test ceremony begins." Carter's dry voice brought back Mike's consciousness, "The person who will be tested this time is Mike Townley, and his recommender is Filius - Flitwick.

The host is Gilga Carter, and the test witnesses are Mario Foley and Barty Crouch. "

After introducing the on-site personnel to the raven statue, Carter said to Mike: "Don't be nervous, this raven statue is one of the relics left by Ms. Ravenclaw. It can test whether you are eligible to join the raven clan." The nest. The test method is very simple, just stare into the eyes of the raven, there will be no danger, come on.”

Hearing that, Mike didn't have any ink marks either, so he took a deep breath to suppress his inner tension and came to the raven statue under the eyes of everyone.

After walking in, you can find the exquisiteness of this statue. Anyone who sees this statue for the first time will definitely mistake it for a living raven.

Its eyes are not as dead as ordinary specimens or statues, but give people a sense of agility.It also seems to have a kind of magic power. Mike just stared at it for a moment and felt that the surrounding things began to fade, and only the dark brown vertical pupil in his vision began to become clearer and clearer.

As time passed, all of Mike's attention was focused on that eye.

Suddenly, the quiet statue suddenly blinked, and that eyeball suddenly looked at Mike.

Mike was taken aback by the sudden change, and when he glanced around, he found himself in a sea of ​​light blue light.
