Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 62 Date with Penello

Mike reached out to take the gift box, and took this opportunity to pretend to accidentally touch Penello's little hand, in exchange for a pair of big white eyes.

Mike opened the gift box with a smile. Penelope's small hands were smooth to the touch, but Mike's smile froze as soon as he opened the gift box.

The gift Penelope gave him turned out to be a set of wand maintenance tools, and it was not as advanced as the one he just bought from Ollivander. It was just a set of intermediate maintenance tools, which cost about 5 Galleons.

Mike knew that Penelope's family situation was not very good. The exchange limit of one hundred gold Galleons that Gringotts gave Muggle wizard students every year could not be used up. Penelope probably saved this set of maintenance tools with himself. It took a long time to buy it, and I couldn't help feeling a little moved in my heart.

Adjusting his facial expression, he returned to the original bright smile and said, "Isn't your gift too timely? Professor Flitwick just said that my wand was damaged in the battle in the Forbidden Forest last year. Take good care of it, and you gave me a set of maintenance tools. Thank you so much."

Penello took a small bite of the cone and grinned at Mike when he heard the words: "As long as you like it."

The florins' cones are very different from those in the Muggle world. The cream and milk it uses are all produced by a magical creature called the English horned cow. The milk produced by this magical creature is not only delicious but also rich. Contains magic power, it is said that it is very good for the growth of magic power of little wizards.

Because of this, a large number of wizards raised this magical creature in captivity. As far as Mike knew, the largest breeding scale was the Malfoy family.

In addition, the florins' cones are magically enchanted, and snowflakes will appear all over the body after eating, which is very beautiful.

Although Penello ate very politely, she ate very fast. A cone the size of an adult's palm was wiped out by her in a short while.

Mike couldn't help laughing at her unfinished look, and handed her his own share.

Penello's face was a little red, as if she was afraid that Mike would laugh at her for being greedy, so she hesitated to pick it up.In the end it was Mike who forced the cone into her hand.

Looking at the gluttonous girl in front of him, Mike showed a faint smile and said, "Senior Penello is in the fifth grade this year, and she will graduate in two years. How about it, decide where to work after graduation Yet?"

In this way, it was Penelope's turn that his smile froze, and he didn't eat the cone in his hand, and he said with a little interest: "How can it be so easy, we are all Muggle-born wizards, what is the attitude of the wizarding society towards us?" It's not that I don't know.

You have outstanding talent and are loved by Professor Flitwick. Even when you have no place to live during the summer vacation, Professor Flitwick invited you to live in his house. You don't need to worry about future employment at all.

It's different for me. My talent in magic can only be said to be mediocre, so what if my talent in management is outstanding, and it's impossible for the Ministry of Magic to let me, a Muggle-born witch, join the job.

Employment?I guess it would be good to find a part-time job in a restaurant like the clerk just now after graduation. "

"Senior Penelope, you are too self-effacing. In my opinion, with Sister Penelope's ability, it is more than enough to join the Ministry of Magic. It is their loss that they don't want you."

Penello didn't respond to Mike, but shook his head slightly.

"Actually, senior sister, you still have a chance to work in the Ministry of Magic." Mike said meaningfully, "Of course, the way I'm talking about is not the stupid way of marrying a pure-blood wizard. I think Percy has been pestering you these days. You, make you feel very distressed."

"What way?" Penello was a little overwhelmed by what Mike said, but he calmed down quickly.

Penello's performance was all seen by Mike, who couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.Not only is Penello extremely high in emotional intelligence, but her magical talent is not as unbearable as she said. On the contrary, she is one of the best in the same grade. Mike decided to win over such a talent.

"Do you know about Raven's Nest? It's the famous Ravenclaw Mutual Aid Society. The membership requirements are very strict. Not only does the applicant need to have outstanding ability, but he also needs to be recommended by a member who has been in the membership for more than one year." Mike laughed. road. "Oh, by the way. Mr. Barty Crouch is also a member of the Raven's Nest. The current Director of Magical Law Enforcement, Mr. Barty Crouch, is also a member of the Council of the Wizengamot. In fact, I only met him last month, just after my initiation At the ceremony."

Penello opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he didn't notice the cone in his hand when he dropped it on the table. He stammered: "You are... you mean you have joined the Raven's Nest? Then you and I What I mean by that is..."

"That's right." Mike snapped his fingers, "In my opinion, your potential is enough for you to join Raven's Claw. What you lack is just a recommender, and after joining Raven's Nest, you want to join The Ministry of Magic is not as simple as snapping your fingers."

"What do you want?" Thanks to Mike's favorite talent, Penello recovered from the initial shock in a few words.

"You think too much of me. I'm not that kind of person. I will recommend you to join Raven's Nest before you graduate. You and I are both Muggle-born, so if I can help, I will naturally help " Mike raised his eyebrows at Penello and said, "Okay, it's getting late, we really shouldn't waste our dating time in this rotten cold drink shop. Go out for a stroll, beautiful lady."

Facts have proved that the sport of shopping is as attractive to women as you praise their beauty.

At first, Penello was a little wary of Mike. After all, Mike helped her so selflessly that she couldn't believe it. In her impression, Mike was not such a generous person.

However, after walking around for a while, Penello gradually let go, and the smile reappeared on her beautiful face.

Especially after visiting Mrs. Primpinell's beauty and potion shop, Penello was completely different from before, shuttling through bottles and jars in an almost fanatical state.

When the two parted in the evening, the small bag that Penello was carrying was gone, replaced by a seamless stretch spell bag embroidered with a woodpecker pattern that she pinned around her waist.

It was stuffed with the results of her day's shopping, from Madam Malkin's bespoke robes to an assortment of beauty potions.

Of course, these are paid by Mike.

At first, Penelope wanted to finish buying everything on the Hogwarts item list, after all, she only had so many Galleons with her.But when Mike took out a big bag full of Galleons, waved it in front of her eyes and signaled her that you're welcome, and that he will be responsible for today's expenses, he completely let go.

However, after all, Penello is just a poor and used to the little girl, who doesn't even know how to spend money, and bought a lot of things for less than two hundred gold Galleons.

"Thank you so much today." Penello said with a smile, "School is about to start, where are you going these days?"

"Go to Professor Flitwick's house for a few more days, it's getting late, you should go back early, and be careful on the road." Mike replied absent-mindedly.

"Got it, goodbye!" Penello quickly lowered his head and kissed Mike's cheek, then turned his head and disappeared into the crowd as if fleeing.

Mike stroked his cheek, the warm touch just now made him a little distracted.

"Damn, according to the normal routine, we should be lying in the hotel at this time. It's a pity..." Mike sighed with some annoyance, and glanced at his little brother while speaking, "It's a pity that you don't live up to it. "
