Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 476 Myrtle

The next morning, Mike slowly opened his eyes bathed in the bright sunshine.

The moment he woke up, he stood up suddenly, and a dozen thick blankets slipped off his body and fell to the ground.

Mike looked at the blankets of different colors piled up into a small hill on the ground and the fire still burning in the fireplace next to him. The muscles at the corners of his eyes were twitching constantly.

Last night he fell asleep on the sofa in the Ravenclaw common room. This rare scene obviously aroused the protective desire of the Ravenclaw seniors and juniors. They were afraid that Mike would catch a cold, and they secretly covered Mike with more than a dozen thick blankets. Some of them were so crazy that they even got up in the middle of the night to add firewood to the fireplace several times.

Although the weather in Hogwarts was already quite cold, Mike was still sweating because of these enthusiastic seniors and juniors, and his underwear was almost completely soaked with sweat.

There were already some students walking around in the Ravenclaw common room in the early morning. Seeing this, Mike quickly picked up the blanket that had fallen on the ground.

These are the girls' thoughts. If others saw Mike casually throwing these "thoughts" on the ground, it would have a bad impact.

It should be said that they are worthy of the girls' "thoughts". When Mike held the blankets in his arms, he found that there was a complex fragrance that was difficult to describe. It was the result of many scents combined together, but it was not unpleasant.

Mike instinctively hugged the blanket and took a deep breath, but then his brows frowned.

Because he smelled a faint odor of sweat on it, he was sure that it was the smell of his own body.

Mike then took out his magic wand and prepared to clean the blankets. These "thoughts" had to be returned to the girls. It would be very rude if the girls smelled the sweat odor on them.

However, just as he took out his wand, a short girl with a mushroom head suddenly screamed and rushed out from the corner.

Mike was startled by the scream, but before he could react, the mushroom-haired girl pulled the blanket out of Mike's environment and said anxiously with her head down:
"No! No need to wash them! Senior Tang Li, just leave them to me like this, I will return them to the seniors!"

"Uh, this isn't good..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's decided!"

The mushroom-head yelled, then ran back to the dormitory with the blanket in his arms, laughing foolishly as he ran.

Mike scratched his head. He had a feeling that these girls might do something very shameful with these blankets.

But he quickly put the matter behind him. He pursed his lips and looked towards the corner near the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, his expression looking very solemn.

The reason why he sweated so much last night, apart from the fact that the girls cared about him too much, was mainly because he had a nightmare.

In the dream, he was also lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace covered with a blanket, but in the darkness at the corner, there was a dark shadow watching him.

I don't know how to describe that black shadow Mike, but if I have to describe him, he is like those black shadow men in Detective Conan, his whole body is pitch black, with only malicious and crazy eyes staring at Mike.

Mike was startled by the presence of the shadow man, because he was unable to move at the moment and was tied to the sofa chair.

Fortunately, the shadow man did not make any other moves. He just stood there looking at Mike quietly until Mike woke up.

Mike, who woke up from his memories, took a deep breath. The experience that dream gave him was really not a good one, and the most important thing was that it might be some kind of warning.

You should know that Mike's mental strength is now extremely strong, which makes Mike's clairvoyance extremely high, and he can often get inspiration from the unknown.

This is actually a very mysterious experience, but Mike believes in it firmly. The reason is that Mike has relied on this ability to avoid countless dangers.

So if nothing unexpected happened, last night's dream was reminding Mike that the assassin was hiding in Ravenclaw College, and he was about to strike again!
Nodding, Mike withdrew his gaze and looked back at the long table shrouded in sunlight.

There, two Ravenclaw students were playing wizard chess with serious faces. Mike knew them, Roger and Caesar. These two half-blood wizards were a little handsome and very popular in Ravenclaw, where there were more girls than boys. This could be seen from the dozen girls gathered around them.

However, those girls obviously did not understand the principle of a true gentleman watching a game of chess without saying a word. They chattered about the game, and the chess pieces on the board were also constantly making suggestions, so the scene became a bit noisy.

Today is Saturday. Normally, everyone would be excited to go to Hogsmeade, but now Dumbledore has closed the school, so everyone can only choose entertainment such as wizard chess.

Everything in Ravenclaw was normal, just like usual. Everyone played as they should, studied as they should, and dated as they should... They were not affected at all by the riots some time ago.

All this is thanks to Mike, who gave orders to Franklin at the beginning of the operation to restrain the students of Ravenclaw College, protecting them from harm while prohibiting them from participating in riots.

Facts have proved that this move was extremely correct. Ravenclaw suffered the least loss in this incident, and Dumbledore's subsequent settlement of accounts did not affect Ravenclaw at all, because they did nothing at all.

But it was different for other colleges. Take Gryffindor for example. That group of overly energetic little lions, together with students from other colleges who went to Gryffindor for investigation, turned the entire Gryffindor common room upside down. Not to mention the dirt and mess, even the public facilities in the common room were damaged to varying degrees. Things like tables, chairs, and sofas were completely torn to pieces. Even the portrait of the fat lady was destroyed.

But of course, the fat woman herself is fine. She is hiding in Dumbledore's office shivering, and still refuses to go back to Gryffindor to guard the door. Now the portrait at the entrance of Gryffindor is Sir Cadogan.

That’s right, it’s the crazy knight who challenges everyone he passes by and changes his password ten times a day.

As for the Gryffindor students, it was even worse.

Professor McGonagall seemed to be stricter towards students from her own college, so most Gryffindor students were detained for 1 to 7 days, and a few serious students were even fined. This was unprecedented in the history of Hogwarts.

The situation in other colleges was similar to that of Gryffindor. The college lounge was damaged, and a large number of students were put in detention, which almost caused the entire Hogwarts course to be suspended. Many professors suggested to Dumbledore to postpone the punishment, but Dumbledore rejected all these suggestions. He was surprisingly determined this time.

Compared with the other three colleges, Ravenclaw today can be called a paradise, and the order here has never collapsed.

Of course, this was the result of Mike's deliberate favoritism.

He had such high trust in the students of Ravenclaw that Mike did not even allow Zhou Hong to torture any Ravenclaw student.

But now it seems that I was too kind to Ravenclaw.

The assassin obviously saw this and chose to hide in Ravenclaw College.

I have to say this is a good idea. The most dangerous place is the safest place. This time Mike himself made the mistake of not seeing the best opportunity.

Mike walked out of Ravenclaw with an expressionless face. He was going to take a good bath and think about his next move. The assassin was hiding in Ravenclaw College and might even be one of the girls who covered Mike with a blanket last night.

Reason told Mike that he should use thunderous means to directly interrogate all Ravenclaw students in order to find out the assassin.

But, those people were classmates who Mike spent every day with, and Mike even regarded them as relatives.

Did you really do this?

Mike was in deep trouble.

They walked in silence all the way to the fourth door on the left side of the statue of Confused Reese. Mike gave the password and then walked in through the automatically opened door.

This is the prefect's bathroom, which belongs exclusively to the prefects of each college. Generally, only these prefects have access to this bathroom. This is a privilege.

As a place of enjoyment for the privileged class, it is naturally decorated magnificently.

Almost everything here is made of white marble. The rectangular bathtub sunk into the ground is so big that it is almost a swimming pool. It even has a snow-white diving board for people to dive into.

At this moment, the small swimming pool is already filled with hot water, and steam is slowly rising from the pool, gradually filling the entire bathroom.

There are countless glittering golden faucets on both sides of the swimming pool. These faucets are all made of gold, and their handles are inlaid with huge gems of various colors.

There is also a huge and exquisite pure gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the bathroom, which is emitting bright light at this moment. The bright yellow light makes the whole bathroom shine with golden light.

This was obviously a feeling that was deliberately created by the builder of the bathroom, because it was daytime and the sunlight outside could completely shine in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but they were completely blocked by a layer of snow-white linen curtains.

On the wall next to the curtains hung an exquisite gilded frame with a magical portrait in it.

The scene depicted in the portrait is an open-air reef being hit by waves. Professor Flitwick said that this is a portrait of a mermaid, but the mermaid did not appear at the moment, perhaps she went swimming.

Mike withdrew his gaze, took off his clothes and walked into the swimming pool.

The water temperature in the swimming pool seemed very high, but actually it felt just right. Mike sighed comfortably, then sat down on a raised marble chair at the bottom of the bathtub, leaving only his head exposed.

I don't know how long it took, but just as Mike closed his eyes and enjoyed it, he heard a sound of water in his chest.

Mike suddenly opened his eyes and saw a human head slowly floating above the water above his chest.

This is the head of a girl with twin ponytails. The girl's face is blocked by the water vapor, and Mike can't see it clearly. He can only see that the girl is wearing a pair of huge glass glasses on her face. But the strange thing is that in such a place with thick water vapor, the mirror surface of the glasses is as smooth as a mirror, without any fog at all.

At this moment, the girl was looking at Mike with a smile, her brown eyes flashing with excitement, as if she was expecting Mike to jump out of the water in fear.

But her expectations were ultimately dashed, as Mike just stared at the girl quietly, his face still showing a calm expression.

"You are...Myrtle."

When Myrtle heard Mike calling out her name right away, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, but soon her expression turned into loss.

"Oh! As expected of Ravenclaw's Eagle Mike, he wasn't scared at all. How boring."

As she spoke, Myrtle slowly floated to the platform beside the swimming pool and looked at Mike with interest.

The distance between the two people was widened, which made it difficult for Mike to see Myrtle's face clearly.

But Mike did not approach Myrtle again. According to him, Myrtle was a ghost who was extremely self-conscious about her appearance. She obviously did not want Mike to see her face clearly.

As for what Myrtle said, Mike did not answer, but smiled and shook his head.

He was not a brat like Harry, and he didn't care about being seen naked by a female ghost.

"You have a nice figure."

Myrtle's shrill voice was heard again in the mist. Mike raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly:
"is it?"

"Of course! I've seen a lot of women! Your figure is definitely top-notch!"

Myrtle said loudly, then looked at Mike expectantly.

However, the answer she expected did not appear. It was obvious that Mike just wanted to take a good bath and had no interest in chatting with a female ghost.

Myrtle pouted and looked at Mike angrily. After a long time, her eyes lit up and she said:

"I heard you were looking for the assassin who tried to kill you, right?"

Mike still didn't answer, seeing this Myrtle continued:

"If it were you, you should use truth serum to interrogate those people. You know who I'm talking about, right? Those prefects! You know what? I've heard them say bad things about you here more than once. They must be related to that assassin!"

"I don't think so. Besides, using truth serum is illegal. Although I don't care much about this, I am still concerned about the fact that truth serum has a chance of turning people into mental retards."

Myrtle, who was lying on the edge of the swimming pool, raised her feet excitedly; she had successfully started a conversation.

But just as she was about to continue the conversation, she found that Mike had already stood up from the pool, without caring at all that there was a female ghost beside him, and he stood up so cleanly and neatly.

"Hey! Wait..."

Myrtle hurriedly spoke up to try to stop him, but Mike ignored him and walked straight to where he piled his clothes.

Myrtle's words just now gave him inspiration, and he has now figured out how to find the assassin!
