Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 152: Valentine's Day Secret Visit (Part )
The annual Valentine's Day is here again. Under the management of the restless Professor Lockhart, the Great Hall and Library of Hogwarts have been decorated with countless pink flowers, turning into a pink world.

Not only that, no one knows how Lockhart did it, but he actually hired a large group of goblins, gave them golden wings created by magic, and had them hold harps or bows and arrows, dressing them up as Cupid, the god of love.

These "Cupids" roamed around Hogwarts Castle in groups, delivering love letters according to a list prepared by Lockhart, and there would also be a live recitation program with music.

Of course, these love letters are real. Lockhart announced last month that he could send love letters on Valentine's Day, and claimed that this could be a surprise for the person you like. Under the appeal of Lockhart's fame, many people sent anonymous letters.

But to be honest, Lockhart's carefully prepared Valentine's Day event brought more shocks than surprises.

After all, the goblin's ugly appearance coupled with her appearance as Cupid, the god of love, is really an eye-catcher.

But these goblins are extremely dedicated and will not stop until the recipient has finished reading the letter, which makes many people very distressed.

And Harry was one of those people in distress.

Mike looked at the goblin who was playing music and reading a love letter in the hall and Harry who was covering his ears in pain, and laughed with schadenfreude.

Mike is considered a semi-famous figure in Hogwarts, so it stands to reason that quite a few people should have sent him love letters. This can be seen from the pile of chocolates and love letters he received at Christmas.

However, since Lockhart had just been scolded by him two days ago, Lockhart deliberately bypassed Mike on Valentine's Day this time, which allowed Mike to sit here calmly and laugh at Harry.

At this time, Harry, who was covering his ears with a look of despair, also saw Mike in the crowd. His pair of emerald green pupils shrank suddenly, and then he shouted anxiously: "Mike! Do something!"

Seeing that Harry had discovered him, Mike stopped smiling and raised his wand to point at the goblins.

"A spell that can make someone speechless."

I saw an almost transparent white beam of light flying towards the two goblins. When it was about to hit one of the goblins, it quickly split into two slightly thinner beams of light that hit the two goblins respectively.

The auditorium suddenly became quiet, and the silenced fairies covered their throats in fear and fled away.

Mike also smiled when he saw this.

The tongue-locking spell just now looked simple, but in fact Mike used two new spellcasting techniques he learned from Professor Flitwick.

The first is the multicasting technique, which allows you to cast multiple spells at the same time. Wizards who are proficient in this technique can even cast different spells at the same time.

Mike seemed to have only cast one Tongue-Locking Curse, but in fact he had just cast two.

The second technique is spell change of direction. This technique can make the released beam-shaped spell suddenly change direction, achieving an unexpected effect.

Both of these spellcasting techniques are high-difficulty spellcasting techniques, and require extremely high mental strength and magic control from the learner. Even with Mike's current enormous mental strength and magic control, he has only just reached the learning threshold of these two spellcasting techniques.

At Mike's current level, releasing two spells at the same time and making the spells deflect in a slight arc in the middle is already the limit.

Seeing the two goblins run away, Harry showed a relieved expression on his face, and thanked Mike: "Thanks so much, I was almost annoyed by them all day today."

Mike's eyes moved slightly. He didn't go to training today and waited in the hall just to wait for Harry to come to him. After he became suspicious of Percy, Mike also began to investigate the heir. He originally planned to hand it over to the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, but judging from the current situation, the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore didn't seem to care about the heir. It had been several months since the basilisk incident, but there was still no news about the heir.

In the original book, the heir of Slytherin is Ginny Weasley. When the family of this poor little girl went to Diagon Alley to buy new school supplies, she happened to meet Lucius Malfoy, who was accompanying his son Draco to buy new school supplies and getting rid of the dark magic items in his home.

When the Malfoy family and the Weasley family, two families that were as hostile as fire and water, met each other, they naturally started fighting.

Lucius took advantage of the chaos and stuffed a magical notebook of dark magic into Ginny's book basket.

What is surprising is that this book actually contains the soul of a man named Tom Riddle, and this Tom Riddle is Voldemort.

It was under the instigation of Tom Riddle that Ginny became the new heir of Slytherin, and in the end she was almost reborn after having all her power sucked away by Tom.

After asking Lockhart, Mike learned that the Malfoy family did have an argument with the Weasley family in the bookstore on the day Lockhart's new book was released, and Lockhart also claimed that he had gone up to mediate.

This means that Tom's notebook, a Horcrux that has the same function as Ravenclaw's diadem and can possess a person's body, should have fallen into Ginny's hands.

But judging from the heir's behavior of letting the basilisk attack Penelope and himself repeatedly, Percy is much more suspicious than his sister Ginny.

"It's a small matter." Mike deliberately turned the topic to the Weasley family, "But Ginny's writing is really not good. I was embarrassed to read that letter."

"Wha, what do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed that Ginny likes you? The letter those two goblins just read was written to you by her." Mike stepped forward and put his arm around Harry's shoulders, whispering in his ear, "Look over there if you don't believe me."

Looking in the direction Mike pointed, I saw Ginny hiding in a corner of the hall, holding a Daily Prophet and pretending to read the newspaper, but she glanced at Harry from time to time, and she didn't even notice that she was holding the newspaper upside down.

Seeing Mike and Harry looking at her, two red clouds appeared on Ginny's little face, and she fled out of the hall like the two goblins.

Seeing Harry looking at a loss, Mike continued to ask, "Where's Ron? Why isn't he with you today?"

"He's in the Gryffindor Common Room telling you about his brother Percy's heroic deeds in the dueling tournament." Mike's sudden change of subject obviously made Harry relieved, and even his tone became lighter. "He tells the story almost every day since Percy successfully advanced.

At the beginning, everyone liked to listen, so he gave lectures in the hall. But after giving lectures more often, only some Gryffindor students are willing to listen.

Mike showed a barely perceptible smile when he heard this. Harry's initiative to mention Percy hit the mark exactly.

"Oh? Come to think of it, I didn't expect Percy to be so strong." Mike asked as if nothing had happened, "Do you know why he suddenly became so powerful?"

Hearing this, Harry gave Mike a weird smile on his face. He didn't say anything, just stared at Mike with a smile.

It was not until Mike felt a little frightened by his stare that Harry nudged Mike with his elbow and said meaningfully, "I know what you mean..."
