Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Martial law in the whole school (thanks to the global cold air for the reward)
The next day, when Mike woke up, he was surprised to find that instead of lifting the martial law at Hogwarts, there were more people patrolling.

Mike was very confused about this, because in the original book, Hogwarts was not so nervous about the basilisk and the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, except that Hogwarts was almost closed at the end of the second year because the number of casualties kept increasing.

However, after careful analysis of the wave, Mike also understood why Dumbledore did this.

In the original book, since the victims are all petrified, Dumbledore may not know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a Basilisk, or he knows that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a Basilisk, but he is confident that he can deal with the Basilisk.So in order to allow Harry to accumulate adventure experience and prestige again, there is no martial law on purpose.

The current situation is obviously different from the original book.

The news that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk has spread, and other professors and school managers of Hogwarts will not allow such a magical creature that may cause huge casualties to stay in the castle at any time.

You must know that almost all the children in the entire British wizarding world go to school in Hogwarts. These children are the future of the wizarding world. If they are slaughtered by the basilisk, it will cause a huge blow to the wizarding world.

Under these circumstances, it is no surprise that Dumbledore initiated martial law throughout the school.

Mike, who was discharged from the hospital, joined the temporary management team to protect and maintain the order of the students. This temporary team is all composed of outstanding students in senior grades. Dumbledore gave them the ability to deduct other people's college points, but set a limit. The maximum deduction limit for each person is 50 points.In order to make up for their wasted study time, Dumbledore promised that as long as he joined this team, he would give them extra points in the subsequent NEWT exam.

Mike was originally not eligible to join this team, but Professor Flitwick finally agreed to his request to join under his soft and hard thinking.

However, Professor Flitwick was still very worried about Mike. Although Mike had the experience of escaping from the basilisk, he still gave him a task to protect his classmates and did not let him participate in dangerous patrols.

So Mike's job now is to stay in the Hogwarts auditorium with other team members to protect the students gathered here.

In order to distinguish the team members like Mike from those ordinary students, an H-shaped metal brooch symbolizing Hogwarts was pinned on the school uniform robes of Mike and others.

The role of this brooch is not only beautiful decoration, it also has the function of instant warning.Once someone is in danger, just use the magic power to slightly stimulate the brooch, and it will send an early warning to all the brooches within 5 kilometers. This early warning not only allows the person who receives the warning to know the location of the danger, but also has a special reminder function .

After receiving the warning, the needle of the brooch will be deformed, and it will pierce the penetler's chest shallowly. Although it will not cause any harm to the penetrator, this pain guarantees that you can recover immediately even if you fall asleep. react to.

Mike heard from senior students in the same team that this brooch is a simplified version of the Auror brooch, so its functions are relatively simple.In addition to the early warning function, the special brooches equipped by the Aurors also have other practical functions such as real-time communication, which surprised Mike very much.

Mike thought that the research on this aspect in the wizarding world was very shallow, but now it seems that alchemy in the wizarding world has developed to a very high level, and even portable communication devices have been researched.

And Dumbledore also made a promise that after this incident is over, this brooch will be given to Mike as a medal of honor to these brave warriors who are willing to stand up at the critical moment of Hogwarts. Reasons for joining the interim management team.

In the eyes of these pureblood students, honor is far more important than NEWT points.

Time passed day by day, and the professors and the temporary management team still couldn't find the basilisk.

The students locked in the auditorium also knew the existence of the basilisk, so what Dumbledore was most worried about finally happened.

"The heir of Slytherin will kill all the Mudbloods, and you'll be next!" a Slytherin boy yelled at a Hufflepuff Muggle-born student.

That Hufflepuff student was listlessly nibbling on the dry food distributed by the school. These days, the Hogwarts kitchen had also shut down under the invisible deterrent of the basilisk. He almost vomited from eating the dry food every day.And the roar of the Slytherin student jumping out suddenly startled him, he didn't even catch the dry food in his hand and dropped it on the ground.

The Slytherin students on the side laughed loudly when they saw this.

The little Hufflepuff wizard's eyes turned red when he saw the laughing crowd.Amid the ridicule of the crowd, he quickly bent down and picked up the dry food that had fallen on the ground, and fled away as if fleeing.

His move sparked more laughter, and one of the Slytherin boys was lying on the floor laughing.

But what they didn't know was that the little Hufflepuff wizard's family conditions were very poor. His mother taught him not to waste food since he was a child. The reason why he came to Hogwarts to study was not because he was interested in magic. , but because Hogwarts does not require tuition fees and includes board and lodging.

As long as he comes to Hogwarts to study, he can greatly reduce the pressure at home and leave more food for his younger brothers and sisters.

There are many people like him in Hogwarts. Britain, as an old Zibenist country, is actually not as glamorous as outsiders seem to be in this period. The rise of the empire on which the sun never sets is based on countless workers On the bones.

Mike, who was guarding in the auditorium, had a panoramic view of everything that happened, and the anger in his heart couldn't be restrained when he saw the Muggle wizards around him who dared not speak out.

"Slytherin deducted 50 points!"

Under the gaze of everyone in the auditorium, Mike came to the side of those Slytherins and said coldly.

Everyone in Slytherin didn't care about Mike's deduction of points. In fact, they were all really smart people. They had already sent letters to tell their families what happened at Hogwarts, and most of their families were A veteran aristocrat in the wizarding world, with great influence.

Now the families of these Slytherin students have united to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic. If Dumbledore still can't find the basilisk within the next week, Hogwarts may be closed for rectification.House points are of course irrelevant now that Hogwarts is about to close.

"Oh! Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Mike from Ravenclaw." The leader of the Slytherin said strangely, "What? Want to be a hero to stand up for your fellow mudbloods?"
