Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 549 Feast
Not only the students of Hogwarts, but even the Los Santos Group has prepared the supplies for the house elves' banquet.

This flattered the house-elves.

But most of the house-elves still rejected the Los Santos Group's good intentions, because in their view, pleasure is an extremely sinful thing.

Especially for things like banquets, this is simply a crime of beheading!

In desperation, Penelope, who went to Hogwarts as a representative, could only issue a mandatory order in the name of Mike, which made these house elves reluctantly accept Penelope's request, and started celebrating in the kitchen banquet.

Of course, the reason why they accepted it was largely because the Los Santos Group sent a lot of food and wine to the students of Hogwarts, so they, the house elves, didn't need to prepare dinner for today.

Otherwise, even if it was an order given by Mike, the house elf would not obey it.

In their hearts, work is bigger than everything else!
But even if the banquet was held normally, the house-elves were extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, no matter how old or young they were, this was the first time in their lives that they attended a banquet as guests.

Unlike the awkward and dreary banquet of the house elves, the Hogwarts auditorium at this moment has already become a sea of ​​joy.

Except for Slytherin who didn't come to the banquet, students from the other three major colleges, regardless of their grades, regardless of the differences between colleges, and even the ghosts in Hogwarts, all mixed together to celebrate their successful rescue of Mike.

Although there are a few people who are very clear that the reason why they can still sing and dance here to celebrate is entirely due to Chris not wanting to hurt them future flowers.

But in their eyes, it was indeed they who saved Mike.

For Hogwarts students who are still in their teens, this is already a feat!

As for the sacrifices of the Los Santos wizards and Freemasons, and even those ordinary wizards, they were quickly forgotten.

Those bloody scenes brought them great horror, but also stimulated their nerves, making them have to celebrate more presumptuously to dispel the fear in their hearts.

As a result, the mountains of alcohol in the auditorium are rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone in the auditorium tonight seemed to have become a heroic ancient knight, and they drank up all kinds of alcoholic beverages like plain water!

Ever since, drunken alcoholics appeared one after another soon.

Under the anesthesia of alcohol, they did a lot of things that they would never dare to do, such as confessing, the guy who succeeded performed a French wet w for everyone on the spot, the guy who failed did not make trouble, and a person Returning to his seat, he drank the wine silently.

Some guys who are not interested in the relationship between men and women hooked up with their friends, climbed onto the long table together and started their crooked singing and dancing performances.

If someone dared to do this in the past, he would be locked up by Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall, or ridiculed by other students.

But these two professors were not seen in today's auditorium, and under the leadership of Professor Flitwick, several other professors not only did not blame the students for drinking and messing around, but even joined the carnival team.

This made the atmosphere at the scene even more enthusiastic.

However, although the atmosphere in the auditorium was very warm, the Harry trio in the corner of the auditorium were very worried at the moment.

Harry and Ron wanted very much to join the carnival queue, and to taste those oolong teas that could be ignited.

But beside them, there are four pairs of eyes staring at them.

"Um, Sirius, I think..."

Harry tentatively said, but before he finished speaking, Sirius who was beside him uttered an angry shout:

"no!"

Harry shrank his neck, and immediately stopped talking, and could only concentrate on dealing with a piece of T-bone steak in front of him.

This thing is usually a supreme delicacy to him, but now looking at his classmates who are having a carnival, for some reason, the delicacy in front of him has become unpalatable.

Opposite him, Ron was in a similar state to Harry.

No, strictly speaking Ron's situation was worse, because there were two people staring at him, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley.

Biting his lip, although he was a little unhappy, Harry still ate the steak in front of him resignedly.

After all, the trouble they caused before was too great. You must know that whether it is Mike or other professors, they have clearly told them that they are not allowed to participate in this matter.

But they went anyway.

Harry still remembered the horror on the faces of Sirius and the Weasleys when they saw them in the Great Hall of the Ministry of Magic.

That's really scary!

So now they'd better be nice and not make Sirius and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley angry, or else...

Thinking of this, Harry accelerated his eating speed again.

This made the anger in the eyes of Sirius and the Weasleys subside a little, and Hermione nodded in satisfaction.

As a good student who abides by school rules, she can't bear the sight of Hogwarts students blatantly violating school rules and drinking a lot of alcohol.

Helplessly, this large-scale violation occurred with the acquiescence of Professor Flitwick, and as a Gryffindor prefect, she has no right to stop it.

But she couldn't control anyone else, she still had to control Harry and Ron.

So after seeing Harry and Ron behave like a puppy in front of their guardian, she was satisfied and started to enjoy the vegetable salad in front of her.

As for the anger of Sirius and the Weasleys, that had nothing to do with her at all.

You must know that in the eyes of Sirius and the Weasleys, Hermione has always been a good girl with good character and learning. How could such a good girl do such a dangerous thing?
Even if it was done, it must have been spoiled by the two brats, Harry and Ron!
Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help but a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Harry stopped putting on a bitter face, and started laughing with Hermione.

From Harry's point of view, the situation is now very good.

Voldemort has been eliminated, his duties as the Son of Prophecy have been completed, and he no longer has to deal with those terrifying dark wizards.

And most importantly, none of my friends died!

Even Mike was rescued. Although he was wanted by the Ministry of Magic, with the strength of the Los Santos Group, Harry believed that Mike would be able to escape from the country and settle down in other countries!

As for Chris becoming the Minister of Magic, Harry doesn't care about such things. Chris is not a lunatic like Voldemort, and he probably wouldn't do those crazy things, although what he did in the hall of the Ministry of Magic was crazy enough But Harry still felt that Chris would not be as bad as Voldemort.

It's good enough now.

In this way, he can graduate smoothly, find a job that is neither good nor bad, marry a witch who is neither beautiful nor ugly, have a litter of children who are not smart but not stupid, and live his own life. Ordinary life.

'ah!May the peace last forever! '

Thinking of this, Harry's pupils began to dilate.

But could things really go as Harry expected?
Can peace really last for a long time?

In Harry's subconscious mind, there was still deep uncertainty about this question!

……

The celebrations in the auditorium were still going on, and the commotion they made was so loud that even Dumbledore, who was in the headmaster's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, could faintly hear it.

Of course, this is not a big problem. If it is too noisy, Dumbledore can turn on the soundproof spell in the office.

But I don't know why, instead of doing this, Dumbledore still strained his ears to listen to the faint laughter and hilarity.

"The banquet below is very lively!"

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said with some longing.

Hearing that the brows of a silver curly-haired witch painted on the wall suddenly frowned.

Her name is Dai Lisi - Devant, who once served as the principal of Hogwarts and the dean of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Wizardry, is a powerful wizard and an outstanding therapist.

She scanned Dumbledore from top to bottom.

Now Dumbledore's dry skeleton has grown a lot of flesh. Although it is still a little scary, at least it looks much better than the previous mummy state.

At least, he is now able to perform some simple activities.

But this is only temporary. Dumbledore is too old. Although the curse that has been tormenting him has been removed, he still can't live for long when the magic power in his body dissipates.

The current state can be said to be the last bloom before the flower withers.

Dai Lisi sighed and said:

"Dumbledore, I advise you not to go to that banquet, unless you want to die. You must know that it is too exciting for you."

"Oh! Merlin! Of course I won't go down. The next banquet belongs to young people. After a bad old man like me passes, it will only disappoint young people." Dumbledore said with a smile, "So you don't have to Worry, Daisy."

Dai Lisi in the portrait nodded unobtrusively. She is actually very satisfied with Dumbledore as the headmaster.

This is a rare headmaster in the history of Hogwarts who is wholeheartedly for the good of the students, and even willing to give up his life for it.

This was rare, and it made Dai Lisi very reluctant to see Dumbledore die.

Although, Dumbledore had already prepared for his death, even his own portrait had been put up in advance.

Dai Lisi looked to her right, where there was a portrait hanging, and the one on it was Dumbledore.

This is the old Dumbledore in a healthy state. He looks very energetic, but it can be seen at a glance that he is a fool.

Right now, for example, he's making funny faces at Dai Lisi, and he looks so sculpted.

It's just that there is no way around it. The magic portrait does not have all the memory and character of the original owner as soon as it is made. This new painting still needs Dumbledore to adjust it slowly, and finally it can become a picture with them. Same magic image.

Suddenly, there was another sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the office, which awakened Dai Lisi from her contemplation.

She looked over curiously, only to see that Dumbledore was pulling out a somewhat old European-style dress from a large cabinet.

Dumbledore picked up the gown, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then carefully placed the gown on the desk, and began to apply magic softener to his beard and hair.

This hair softener invented by Harry Potter's grandfather had amazing effects. As soon as it was applied, Dumbledore's snow-white long hair and beard, which were as dry as dry grass, became docile again.

With its help, Dumbledore smoothly arranged his hair and beard into their neatest appearance.

Immediately afterwards, he began to pick up the razor again, and began to shave off the excess hair and beard stubble on his face.

Dai Lisi frowned again, and she said with some hatred:

"Dumbledore, I warned you, don't go to that banquet, you will die!"

"Of course, I won't go, Dai Lisi, didn't I just promise you?"

Dumbledore spoke softly, but at the same time he kept moving his hands, continuing to trim his beard.

"Then what are you doing now?"

The scraper in Dumbledore's hand froze, but soon continued to scrape, and said at the same time:

"I have another feast to attend."

As soon as the words fell, Dumbledore put down the scraper, and with his efforts, his beard and hair had returned to the same appearance as in the portrait.

Then, he picked up the dress on the desk and put it on again.

It is not an easy task to dress it neatly. After all, this dress is made according to Dumbledore's young body shape, and now Dumbledore's body shape is very different from when he was young!

But despite the difficult process, Dumbledore finally put on the dress which was a bit loose for him.

Dumbledore slowly came to the full-length mirror, looked at himself in it, although he was old, but much more energetic, and nodded with satisfaction.

His action finally awakened the phoenix Fox in the corner. It looked at Dumbledore in full armor in front of the full-length mirror, and circled around Dumbledore with some anxiety.

At the same time, clear chirping sounds continued to come out of his mouth, and Fox kept singing this song of courage, as if trying to arouse the courage in Dumbledore's heart.

But Dumbledore just smiled, and then hugged Phoenix Fox tightly, just like when he first met Fox.

Dai Lisi on the wall saw all of this.

She was about to be blown up, and roared angrily:
"Dumbledore! Do you want to die? What kind of feast is it that makes you want to attend even if you have become like this?"

At this moment, Dumbledore was hugging Fox and sitting back in his seat. Hearing that, he raised his head slightly, took out a large bag of cockroach piles and various candies from the drawer, put them on the table and said:

"This will be the most important banquet in my life. Its name is - death."

Hearing this, Dai Lisi was stunned.

And Dumbledore stopped paying attention to Dai Lisi, turned his chair and looked out the window.

Every night in the past, you can see the bright starry sky from here. Looking up at the starry sky every day has become Dumbledore's favorite thing to do.

But today I don't know why, when Dumbledore looked up, the sky was pitch black, not a single star could be seen.

"Are they all hidden?" sighed Dumbledore. "It's a pity."
