Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 56
During dinner, Professor Flitwick came back, carrying on his shoulders a long, tightly wrapped object wrapped in oiled paper, which should be a broom from its shape.

Seeing this, Luo Luo hurried forward to help the owner carry the luggage, but was swung back by Professor Flitwick.

Ignoring Luo Luo, who thought he had done something wrong again and was punishing himself by knocking his head on the floor, walked into the living room with the package on his shoulders, shouting loudly: "Mike! Come and see, I'll give you What did you bring?"

"Is this... a broomstick?"

Mike looked at Professor Flitwick, who was carrying the long broom-shaped package, in disbelief.

"Wow, what a smart kid. This is the latest Nimbus 2001, a belated birthday present for you. I'm so sorry, kid. I forgot that the day before yesterday was your birthday, and I went to Hogwarts today to get busy with new students I just remembered about the enrollment." Professor Flitwick said apologetically, "It has the latest anti-magic coating on it, and it can't even be stuffed into the non-marking stretching spell bag. By the way, this thing is really heavy, come here quickly Hold it for me."

Hearing this, Mike hurried forward and took the broom off Professor Flitwick's shoulder. As soon as Mike took it, he felt that the broom was far heavier than other broomsticks. Then he looked at Professor Flitwick rubbing his shoulders. , A sourness rushed to the nose.

How many years have you not celebrated your birthday?ten years? 20 years?
I remember the last time I received a birthday present, it was a paper airplane that little Jimmy made in the handicraft class.Although the so-called birthday was just a date that Mike reported casually, as an orphan, he didn't know his own date of birth at all.

Although afterwards Jimmy asked him for a remote control aircraft with a wingspan of three meters as a gift.But Mike was still very moved. After all, this paper airplane represented that little Jimmy still had his father in his heart.

Mike knelt down and hugged Flitwick, saying thank you with a sob in his mouth.

His move startled Flitwick, and he hurriedly comforted him, "Why are you still crying? Don't you like this gift? No, don't all young wizards like broomsticks these days?"

Mike has the soul of an adult after all, and he quickly recovers from his emotional outbursts.

"I like it very much. This is the best gift I have ever received." Mike held up the broom, "Next year I will join the Quidditch school team and use this broom to win honor for Ravenclaw."

"Oh? Are you so confident? Then I can wait, hahaha!" Flitwick joked.

The house elf Lolo on the side stopped banging his head on the floor, but looked at the two chatting with begging eyes.

"Since the honorable guest came, the host's meal time is no longer on time, it's all the guest's fault.

oh!No!Luo Luo is such a bad elf, to say bad things about the guests behind his back, damn it!Damn it! "After that, he even started to strangle his neck with the curtain on the side.

Seeing the movements of the house elf Lolo from the corner of his eye, Mike hurriedly invited Professor Flitwick to the restaurant for dinner. He estimated that if they scribbled a little longer, Lolo might strangle himself to death.

As soon as Luo Luo at the side heard the host and respected guests saying that it was time to eat, she immediately let go of the curtains that strangled her neck, wiped away the tears from her face, and went happily to decorate the dining room.

With a snap of Luo Luo's fingers, a sumptuous dinner appeared in front of the two of them.

While eating, Mike began to test Professor Flitwick.

"Have you heard of the secret passage or chamber in the Ravenclaw lounge?"

"Huh? Who did you hear that from?"

"Fred and George, they told me before the holidays that they saw it on a map."

Professor Flitwick was a little taken aback at first, but laughed when he heard it was the Weasley brothers.

"Then they must be fooling you. I have worked in Hogwarts for decades, and I have never known that there are any secret passages in Ravenclaw. Hogwarts does have many secret passages, but the rest of the four colleges There is absolutely no secret passage in the chamber, at least not as far as I know." Professor Flitwick said confidently.

"Really? Isn't it just a matter of reciting a spell in front of Ms. Ravenclaw's statue, or holding some token, and there will be a light door open, and you will see Ravenclaw's treasure through this light door?" ?”

"That's what Brother Weasley told you, too?"

Mike nodded.

"I think you might have been tricked by them, Mike." Professor Flitwick stuffed a piece of cut steak into his mouth and muttered, "You must not have studied the history of magic well.

The founders of the four colleges, except Slytherin who is said to have built a secret room in Hogwarts to hide his treasures, the other three founders have left all their wealth and knowledge to their descendants, absolutely There can be no treasure. "

Hearing Professor Flitwick's words, Mike's heart sank, and the emotion he had just felt because of the birthday gift from Flitwick disappeared.

The claw marks on his face were given by the raven statue used by the Raven's Nest for the entrance test. That statue has been in the hands of the Raven's Nest for thousands of years, and countless wizards have passed the test to join the association.

According to the images he saw in his dream, he was not the only lucky one. Mike was almost sure that there must be information about claw marks and light gates in Raven's Nest.

However, Professor Flitwick, who has been a member of Raven's Nest for more than 30 years and is the dean of Hogwarts Ravenclaw College, whose position in the association is definitely not too low, actually spoke about the light door. Ask three questions?

Mike smelled danger from it.

Either Raven's Nest really didn't know about the Light Gate on the statue of Lady Ravenclaw or knew about it but didn't tell Professor Flitwick.Either Professor Flitwick was hiding something from himself.

The probability of the former is not zero, but very low.

People with dark hearts will naturally imagine others to be the same as themselves, and Mike almost instinctively chose to believe the latter.

Thinking about it carefully, Professor Flitwick's actions are indeed very strange. He is just a mudblood with outstanding talent, so why should he treat him so well?
The Greedy Pendant was one of Ms. Ravenclaw's relics, but Professor Flitwick gave it to Mike who had only known him for a few months at the time.If it were Mike, he wouldn't be able to be so selfless.

Mike felt that a monster named Conspiracy was approaching him, waiting for him to step on the trap and eat him in one bite.

But at the table at the moment, the joyous atmosphere continued, Mike and Professor Flitwick were still enjoying the exquisite food made by Lolo.

Luo Luo stood beside the dining table, ready to serve the two of them at any time.
