Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 313: Is the girl you are talking about pretty?

"So, what did you do?"

In the meeting room of the Masonic secret realm, Benjamin lowered his voice and growled angrily at Zhou Hong in front of him.

"I did not do anything!"

“Why would Mike ask me to call you here to talk if you didn’t do anything?” Benjamin said, scratching his head. “You don’t know, the tone he used when he spoke to me was so strange! God, he must have been very angry!”

Zhou Hong curled his lips and turned his head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Benjamin's almost crazy face.

"Okay! Listen to me. No matter what Mike says, you must admit your mistake quickly! Your attitude must be good! Got it? Leave the rest to me! Damn it, here he comes!"

After saying that, Benjamin quickly loosened his tie, stood up straight and looked towards the door.

With a slight creaking sound, Mike, dressed in formal attire, walked into the meeting room.

"Hey! Good evening, Mike!" Benjamin forced a smile. "It's a nice day tonight. Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet, but I'm going to have a candlelight dinner with Penelope later." Mike walked to the conference table and sat down, looking at Benjamin, "Of course, before I go to the appointment, I still have some questions to ask our little gentleman."

Looking at Mike's expressionless and serious look, Benjamin didn't know that this was a sign that Mike had activated the brain-blocking spell. Instead, he felt that Mike was really angry at the moment.

His Adam's apple moved a little, and he said nervously:
"Is Zhou Hong causing trouble again? Please forgive him, he is a good boy."

But Mike sitting in the seat didn't even look at Benjamin. His eyes were always on Zhou Hong.

Listening to Benjamin's plea, Mike's mouth curled up into a strange smile again.

"At noon today, Hermione found me. She said Zhou Hong..." Mike paused deliberately, and Benjamin loosened his tie again, "Hermione said Zhou Hong was a scumbag. He first made a fourth-year senior fall madly in love with him, and then cruelly abandoned her."

“I’m sorry, I’ll go…” Benjamin was about to apologize instinctively, but he reacted halfway through his words, “Wait? What did you say? Zhou Hong? Senior?”

Benjamin's face was full of surprise. He looked at Zhou Hong, then at Mike, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Mike spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, then said:

"Tell me, Zhou Hong, what's going on between you and Scarlett?"

“Yes! You must explain it clearly!” Benjamin roared, “You are only twelve years old! These things are too early for you!”

"You have such dirty thoughts!" Zhou Hong glanced at the two people present with disdain, "I have no interest in girls at all now!"

"So you're interested in boys?"

Facing Mike's ridicule, Benjamin and Zhou Hong retorted in unison:

"No!"

"He won't!"

"Okay, so what's going on here."

After saying that, Benjamin and Mike's eyes fell on Zhou Hong again.

Facing the gazes of the two people, Zhou Hong's face actually blushed, which was rare.

He lowered his head, his fingers constantly stirring the hem of his clothes, and after a long time he whispered:
"It was during the Christmas dance, and I found a girl crying in a corner. I read her mind and found out that she wanted to commit suicide because her boyfriend cheated on her! I didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, after all, crying women are the most annoying, and whether she lives or dies is none of my business.

But then I remembered that Benjamin asked me to be a good person and help students in need (Zhou Hong looked at Benjamin, and Benjamin nodded.) So I went up to comfort her.

At first, she was indifferent to me, but I have the ability to read her mind, so I comforted her according to her thoughts. After a while, she stopped crying and didn't want to die anymore. She smiled and invited me to dance. I didn't intend to agree at first, after all, I can't dance. But I was worried that if I didn't dance with her, she would want to die again, so I danced with her. She is really a weird person. I stepped on her several times when we were dancing that night, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed a lot.

And after that, she got on me.

She comes to see me every day. Do you know how annoying this is? But there is nothing I can do. I am a good person, so I always do what she wants to make her happy, and she will laugh like an idiot.

If it were just that, it would be fine. As a good person, I would be willing to talk to her for a while every day.

But suddenly one day, when I was reading her mind, I discovered a terrible idea in her mind!"

When Zhou Hong said this, he suddenly stopped with a flushed face. Benjamin and Mike on the opposite side had already been listening attentively, and hurriedly urged him to continue.

Zhou Hong was reluctant to speak, but under the coercion and inducement of Benjamin and Mike, he finally shouted with a red face and a wronged look:

"I found out that she actually wanted to have sex with me! Do you know how outrageous this is? I tried to comfort her with good intentions and prevent her from committing suicide, but she actually wanted to have sex with me! I'm only twelve years old, and doing this so early will shorten my life!"

Hearing this, Mike and Benjamin looked at each other in confusion.

Then, no one knew who laughed first, but both of them burst into amazing laughter.

"You're still laughing!" Zhou Hong jumped onto the conference table. "I shouldn't have told you about this!"

Seeing that Zhou Hong was really angry, Mike and Benjamin quickly stopped smiling.

"Okay, let's stop laughing. You get off the table first." Mike wiped his tears and said, "I have one last question for you."

Zhou Hong panted heavily and glared at the two people below whose lips were still curled up, and finally jumped off the conference table.

"Go ahead and ask! Ask quickly because I want to go back to sleep!"

"Okay, then I asked you a question, and you must answer me seriously." Mike asked seriously, "Ahem, the girl named Scarlett you mentioned, is she pretty?"

Hearing Mike's question, Zhou Hong showed a serious look on his face, and after a moment he slowly said:

"It's not a question of whether she's pretty or not. She's really that kind of... rare... her eyes are like green beans, her nose is like a head of garlic, and although she has freckles on her face, she's still pretty. It's just a pity that she doesn't seem to be very smart."

"puff!"

Benjamin couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Inspired by him, Mike, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, couldn't hold it in any longer either.

Loud goose calls were heard again in the conference room.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong clenched his fists. He was so excited that he even forgot to use English and shouted directly in Chinese:
"You're going too far! I've put up with you for so long!"

"Hahahaha! What did you say? Uhhhhhh!"

Benjamin held his stomach and spoke with difficulty. Zhou Hong couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Benjamin and Mike, and started hitting their chests with his little fists.

Mike and Benjamin, who were laughing till they had no strength left, were no match for Zhou Hong. They couldn't hold him down even if they wanted to. In the end, the two of them could only work together to press Zhou Hong under them and control him with their weight.

After a while of fighting, the meeting room finally quieted down.

Mike and Benjamin lay on the floor, panting, with smiles on their faces.

But Zhou Hong under them had a look of despair on his face.

"Well, that's it. Now that the matter has been clarified, it's fine. Benjamin, you go and find a way to resolve this matter later, or the little... puchi... and er hehe... girl will commit suicide!" "Okay! Leave it to me!"

Mike smiled and nodded, then stood up and straightened his messed up clothes, and said as he walked towards the door:
"Then I'll go first. Penelope is still waiting for me."

After saying that, Mike trotted out of the meeting room without waiting for Benjamin to reply.

Yes, he was going to be late again.

……

There is a forbidden area on the east side of the Masonic secret realm. No one is allowed to enter without Mike's permission.

The members of the Freemasons were extremely curious about this, especially the Weasley brothers. In their opinion, there was no place in the world that they could not go.

But even the Weasley brothers had never successfully entered the forbidden area, because this forbidden area, which was neither big nor small, was filled with various dangerous magical restrictions. These magical restrictions were set up by Mike himself. After learning ancient magic runes, Mike's ability to set up restrictions became more and more sophisticated.

As Mike's study of ancient magic runs deepened, the number of restrictions in the forbidden area increased and they became more and more difficult.

Therefore, even the Weasley brothers cannot enter here.

After failing countless times, the Weasley brothers finally gave up, but they firmly believed that Mike's biggest secret must be buried in this forbidden area.

There might be a large dark magic laboratory hidden inside, or a vault containing the gold Galleons that Michael got from selling the Dolphin Magic Drink!
The Weasley brothers said this to the other Freemasons.

The other Freemasons didn't care much about what the Weasley brothers said.

They were not as curious as the Weasley brothers, and had no interest in the secrets in the forbidden area. Since Mike said they were not allowed to go in, they decided not to go in.

But today, Mike invited Penelope to have dinner in the forbidden area.

Penelope was completely stunned when she received the news. There were many places in Hogwarts where they could have dinner together. There was no need to go to the forbidden area at all.

'Maybe he was going to tell me something special.'

Penelope thought so and began to look forward to it secretly.

So, with her fantasies about the future in mind, the girl began to prepare excitedly.

She repeatedly chose the clothes she would wear in the evening, and put on and removed makeup on her face.

She vowed to show Mike her most beautiful self tonight.

But when she arrived at the forbidden area on time for the appointment, she found that there was only a villa with relatively luxurious decoration and a sumptuous meal, but the person who invited her was nowhere to be found.

Penelope pursed her lips, sat down at the dining table, took out a mirror, and carefully touched up her makeup in the light of the candle on the table.

Mike could show up at any time, so she had to be in the best condition.

Time passed by bit by bit, the candle on the table had burned halfway, but Mike still didn't show up.

Penelope felt herself getting a little angry.

But at this moment, the door of the villa was suddenly pushed open.

Penelope turned around when she heard the voice and saw Mike, wearing a handsome suit, walking towards the door, breathing heavily.

"I'm so sorry, dear. You can't Apparate here, and I was delayed by something."

Mike explained, sitting down on the chair.

"fine."

Listening to Penelope's cold words, Mike's mind moved, and he put on a serious expression and said:

"Don't you want to know why I'm late?"

"Tell me about it."

Penelope's tone was still cold, but Mike was not angry. He continued in a serious tone:

"It was Zhou Hong. He had a girlfriend in the fourth grade, and then dumped her."

"Walter? That's impossible!"

Seeing Penelope's surprised reaction as he expected, Mike's mouth curled up slightly and then quickly suppressed it, and then he told Penelope the story of Zhou Hong and Scarlett in a vivid and emotional way.

As expected, Penelope burst into laughter after hearing this.

Mike waited quietly for Penelope to calm down before continuing to ask:

"How, are you still angry?"

"Ahem!" Penelope coughed twice and suppressed her smile, pretending to be angry, "Of course!"

"I thought this might help you calm down."

As he spoke, Mike took out a black leather wooden box from his arms. This box was the kind that was specially used to hold jewelry, so it attracted Penelope's attention as soon as it appeared.

When Mike opened the box and revealed the Heart of the Ocean inside, he heard Penelope gasp from across the table.

"Oh my God! This... this is so beautiful." Penelope said, "Wait! Isn't the sapphire on it made of glass?"

"Of course not! What are you thinking about? This is the compensation given to me by the Mermaid Queen. She said that this Heart of the Ocean can keep people young forever. After much thought, I think it is most appropriate to give it to you."

Penelope opened her eyes wide and was speechless. Seeing this, Michael took out the necklace, walked to Penelope and said:

"Come on, I'll put it on for you."

"Okay...ok."

Listening to Penelope's obviously trembling voice, Mike curled the corners of his mouth slightly and put the necklace on Penelope's snow-white neck.

The necklace with the sapphire hanging on it was very long. The huge sapphire slid down her skin and fell between her breasts. The cold touch made Penelope tremble unconsciously.

“Oh, I feel great,” Penelope said, stroking the sapphire. “This necklace is really working.”

"Nonsense, how can it take effect so quickly? This is just your psychological reaction."

Mike said, placing his hand on Penelope's cheek.

"Baby, I'm hungry."
