Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 292 Big News

When everyone came to Victor's room and opened the door, what appeared in front of them was a scene of Victor holding a saw and cutting a human hand.

And on the ground around him, there were a large number of limbs scattered around, including not only human limbs, but also many strange-shaped monster limbs.

But the strange thing was that, without exception, no blood flowed from the wounds on the limbs, and there was no unpleasant smell of blood in the entire room.

Penelope screamed and threw herself into Mike's arms. Mike comforted Penelope while questioning Victor:

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Victor calmly put down the saw in his hand, turned around and said, "As you can see, I am studying alchemy."

Victor's voice was hoarse and sounded like sandpaper rubbing against stone. He looked like he hadn't slept for a long time. He had deep bags under his eyes, and his blond hair, the same color as Mike's, looked like a pile of withered weeds.

"Emm, you call this alchemy?" George pointed at a spider leg on the ground and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure if the alchemy you're talking about is the same thing as what we're studying."

Victor curled his lips when he heard this, and while Penelope screamed, he picked up the saw and scratched the severed limb in his hand. Then, everyone discovered that inside the limb that looked no different from a human arm was actually densely packed with extremely complex circuits and magic runes.

"Your worries are unnecessary. Look, these are all fake."

“So, you’re really working on prosthetics?”

“Prosthetic limbs!?” Victor stood up from the workbench with his eyes wide open. “Mr. Townley! Even you can’t insult me ​​like this! This is a treasure of alchemy!”

Victor looked a little hysterical. Mike curled his lips helplessly and didn't bother with him.

Benjamin on the side smiled awkwardly, and quickly stepped forward to help Mike ask:

"So, why do you want to do this?"

"To gain more powerful strength! There is no doubt about it!" Victor said excitedly with red eyes, "I have always been walking on the wrong path before! I was self-pitying because of my low talent! Until I met Moody and his magic eye!

Think about it, that old cripple Moody was able to continue to be a powerful wizard because of that magic eye!

Well, since he can use alchemical prostheses (George complained: You just mentioned prostheses yourself, right?) to make his disability perfect, why can't I use more outstanding alchemical limbs to make my body more perfect!
Ah! The human body is too fragile! If I could, I would turn myself into a pure robot! In this way, I would never have to worry about getting injured. Even if I was seriously injured, I could just replace the spare parts and continue to fight!

Oh, and there are feelings!
Human emotions are also worthless garbage! Facts have proven that only absolutely rational people can go further on the path of magic!

This is simply evolution! Glorious evolution! "

Mike and others stared in amazement as Victor described his ideals in an almost fanatical manner, and they were somewhat unable to understand.

"Okay, then come on."

Having said this, Mike led the large group out of Victor's room.

Victor's mental state is very confused, and now is obviously not a good time to go up and persuade him.

At least, Mike wouldn't go up to persuade them at this time.

"Benjamin, I remember you and Victor were good friends, right?"

"Um, Mike, actually..." Benjamin felt something was wrong and instinctively wanted to deny it, but after seeing Mike's eyes, he immediately said, "In fact, Victor is definitely my best friend. Don't worry, I will advise him."

"You can try to persuade him if you can," Mike said. "The most important thing is to prevent him from getting into any accidents. You should understand, like sudden death or something like that."

Mike kept gesturing with his hands, trying to make Benjamin understand what he meant, and Benjamin did not disappoint Mike and nodded quickly.

At this point, tonight's party was completely over. After seeing Victor's laboratory, Mike had no intention of going anywhere else, and went straight back to the Ravenclaw common room with Penelope.

In the next two weeks, Mike secretly manipulated the members of the mutual aid society to find the person who tampered with the Goblet of Fire.

Of course, the main force is still the guy named Zhou Hong.

However, Mike obviously underestimated the mouse's stealth skills. For two whole weeks, Benjamin and Zhou Hong approached almost everyone in Hogwarts under various excuses, but still failed to find the mouse.

This made Mike a little disappointed, but he did not blame Benjamin and the others. On the contrary, he gave Zhou Hong a salary of ten Galleons so that he could replenish the inventory of his prank props library.

Mike gave this money secretly to Zhou Hong, because if he gave it in front of Benjamin, Zhou Hong would most likely not get the money.

This does not mean that Benjamin is exploiting Zhou Hong. On the contrary, Benjamin really treats Zhou Hong as his own brother.

He even opened an account in Gringotts specifically for Zhou Hong. He would carefully save every penny Zhou Hong earned for him, so that Zhou Hong could buy... no... marry a wife when he came of age.

Although Mike did not catch the big rat he wanted to catch, it does not mean that Zhou Hong and Benjamin’s efforts during this period were in vain. In fact, during their investigation, they accidentally discovered many small rats.

These little mice were sent by the families whose heads were killed by Mike. Among them, Slytherin students are the most numerous, followed by Ravenclaw.

The orders they received were surprisingly consistent: do everything possible to kill Mike!

Of course, these people couldn't do this. Mike even wondered if those families had something wrong in their brains to send so many students here for revenge.

In addition to this incident, many interesting things happened in Hogwarts in the past two weeks. The most talked-about one was the report written by Rita Skeeter after that visit.

The bias of her report was very clear. In the entire page of the report, the text about Mike and Harry occupied the vast majority. Poor Krum was pushed into a small corner. Rita Skeeter even spelled his name wrong.

Rita Skeeter never dared to offend Mike.

Although she dared to write a negative article about Dumbledore specifically to gain publicity, it does not mean that she is brave.

She knew Dumbledore's character very well. He was a good guy, and even if you slandered him, nothing serious would happen.

But Michael is different. If you offend him, it could be fatal!
Therefore, the article used to describe Mike focused on the scene where Mike used silent spells to control the firebird flying in the sky, and there was also a moving magic photo as an illustration on the side.

The words used in the article can be described as a riot of colour, praising Mike to the sky.

In addition to focusing on the silent spell, Rita also repeatedly hinted in the article that Mike and Fleur had a very good relationship, and included a photo of Fleur holding Mike's arm.

In a short time, Mike became a famous figure in the entire magic world. People were amazed at his talent and also envious of his good fortune.

That's a witch with Veela blood!

God knows how good her life will be!

Although Rita never said that Fleur and Mike were a couple, people now took it for granted.

Mike originally thought that Ms. Maxim would come to cause trouble for him, but strangely, Maxim's attitude towards Mike became better after that! ?
After thinking about it carefully, Mike understood.

The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament is to deepen the relationship between young wizards from different countries.

A romantic relationship is also a relationship, so it’s not surprising that Maxim would accept it.

But what he didn't know was that Maxim was now desperately trying to teach Fleur all kinds of love skills in order for Fleur to win over Mike.

Think about it, Mike is a ruthless guy who mastered the technique of casting spells silently at the age of fourteen!

Not only is he rich, he also doesn't care about his bloodline!

Where can I find such a good partner?

In Maxim's expectation, it would be best if Fleur could trick Mike directly to France, so that their Beauxbatons School would have one more genius, and then with the help of Mike they would be able to win more awards, and finally they could take these trophies to the school board to ask for more budget!

perfect!

On the other hand, Rita Skeeter's report on Harry was not as good as Mike's.

After all, she only picks on the weak. Compared to Mike and Harry, she can still afford to offend them.

So, Harry's hesitant answers during the interview were transformed into a lot of disgusting and long-winded speeches after being artistically processed by Rita Skeeter, including but not limited to Harry often dreaming about his mother, and then waking up to find that his tears had wet the pillow, and Harry would talk about his mother at every turn like a three-year-old child.

And in Rita Skeeter's article, Harry also had a first girlfriend.

And this so-called girlfriend is, of course, Hermione.

This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Hermione was completely described in Rita's article as a green tea bitch who approached Harry simply for his reputation and had been playing with and deceiving Harry's feelings!

This article had a great impact on Harry, because now no matter where he went, Malfoy and other Slytherin students would suddenly appear, hand him a handkerchief, and then say with a weird smile:
"Potter! Are you missing your mother again? Come and wipe your tears!"

To be honest, this level of verbal attack is negligible for an adult.

But for Harry, who was in a sensitive state, this was totally unbearable.

So, a thrilling spell battle broke out between him and Malfoy and the others in the hall.

The result was naturally tragic. Malfoy and Harry were each sentenced to half a semester of detention by Professor McGonagall, who was implementing a strict education. Malfoy was sentenced immediately, while Harry's detention was postponed because he had to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

Compared to Harry, Hermione, another protagonist in the article, has a much better life.

Since she now spends every day in the library reading and studying, basically no one would use the topic of the article to ridicule her, because as soon as they open their mouths, the librarian, Madam Pince, would come to trouble them with a feather duster.

But at the same time, new troubles emerged, that is Krum.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy. Now he stays in the library all day studying English.

As a sports star, he is always surrounded by a group of girls wherever he goes. However, he ignores the popular girls around him and instead pesters Hermione, a wild flower who ignores him.

Listening to him calling her name diligently in his broken English, Hermione had an urge to escape from the library.

It's not that she hates Klum, but because of Klum's excessive attentiveness to her, Klum's female fans have become quite hostile to her.

If this continues, something bad will definitely happen.

A woman overwhelmed by jealousy is irrational, and Hermione, as a woman, knows this only too well.

Friends are all in various troubles. Logically, Mike should do some psychological work and deal with the plot. However, Mike has other things to do during this period of time.

For example, coaxing your wife.

Don't think that Penelope is a generous person.

To put it another way, even a woman with the most generous heart would find it difficult to accept that her man actually has a rumored girlfriend!
At the beginning, Penelope felt that Fleur, the white-haired girl, and Mike were flirting with each other, and at that time she chose to believe Mike.

But now it seems.

Haha, all men are pigs!
So, a war broke out.

For two whole weeks, Penelope ignored Mike!
This can be said to be the biggest emotional crisis Mike and Penelope have ever encountered since they confirmed their relationship.

Fortunately, Penelope was not the kind of person who would never let go. After fully feeling Mike's sincerity and achieving her purpose of warning Mike, Penelope chose to forgive Mike.

After all, even though Mike was a pig, she still loved him.

The energy and effort Mike spent in these two weeks was even greater than when he was researching the previous advanced spell!
Mike regretted it so much that his intestines turned green!
Whether he regretted not having urged Rita Skeeter to write less about himself, or regretted being too close to Fleur, you have to experience it for yourself.

Anyway, as a man, Mike still has a good impression of Furong.

After all, Hibiscus is so beautiful!

It's just like the elves depicted in various fantasy movies, TV series and games!
Meanwhile, Mike has made his decision.

When I’m done with this busy period, I must go and get rid of that loud speaker of Rita Skeeter!
By the way, you can also improve Harry's favorability, killing two birds with one stone!
whee!
