Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 479 Inspection

In the restaurant, Mike, Harry and others found a relatively secluded place and sat down.

Unlike the previous two days, there were a lot more people dining in the restaurant today. However, these extra people looked a little sad, and their attitude towards things had obviously improved. Many people's used tableware was cleaner than that licked by a dog.

This was all thanks to Mike's previous education on "cherishing food". Of course, the food sanctions imposed on them by the house-elves were also one of the reasons.

However, what was a little strange was that after the students in the restaurant found out that Mike had also come to the restaurant, their expressions became a little frightened, and they ate a lot faster. Some lower grade students who were closer to Mike and others even stopped eating and left the restaurant as if they were escaping.

Mike naturally wouldn't care about this kind of thing. At this moment, there was already a lot of food on the plate in front of him, enough for two adults to eat.

Harry and Ron were at the other extreme, with only a few slices of bread and some peas on their plates.

Mike naturally divided most of the food on his plate and put it on the plates of the two of them. This action surprised several senior Hufflepuff students who were secretly observing the situation nearby, and they were so scared that they almost screamed.

Harry and Ron also had complicated expressions. To be honest, it was easy to be misunderstood that Mike shared the food on his plate with the two of them at this critical juncture when everyone knew that he was going to drug all the teachers and students in the school. Even Harry and Ron were wondering if Mike had put some truth potion in the food.

After hesitating for a while, Harry picked up his knife and fork and started eating.

He believed that because of his relationship with Mike, the other party would not drug him. After all, whether he was drugged or not, he would not hide anything from Mike.

As for Ron, he was still looking at the plate in front of him with a conflicted look on his face.

He was really a little scared, not because he had done anything to offend Mike, but mainly because he was afraid that Mike would really ask him some embarrassing questions after drugging him, such as when was his last dream and what it felt like.

Ron was really worried about this because he had come once this morning. If Harry and the others knew about this, they might laugh at him for the whole semester, which was normal among friends.

But after much hesitation, he finally picked up his knife and fork and attacked the food on the plate.

It wasn't because he finally trusted Mike, but because the food on the plate smelled so good that he couldn't help it.

Compared to Harry and Ron, Hermione behaved relatively normally, but she kept glancing at Mike with a worried look while eating, and it was obvious that she was going to continue persuading Mike after they finished eating.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have no such opportunity, because Zhou Hong arrived just as she was finishing her meal.

He swaggered over to Mike, glanced at Harry and the others, and then deliberately yelled:

"Report to the boss! Professor Slughorn has already made the truth potion you requested. The first batch of one hundred doses has now been delivered to the Ravenclaw common room!"

Harry and Hermione opened their mouths wide, looking at Zhou Hong in horror. Ron couldn't help but spit out all the food in his mouth, making the brother opposite him have food all over his head and face.

Normally, the Slytherin brother would have come over and had a good talk with Ron, but now he just looked at Mike with a dull expression, not even wiping his face.

The other people in the auditorium had a similar reaction to this gentleman. Zhou Hong’s loud roar was still echoing in their minds.

No one knew who made the first scream, but soon everyone in the restaurant reacted and ran towards the exit while screaming. Not long after, the auditorium that was crowded just now became empty.

Compared to them, Mike's reaction was a little abnormal.

He hummed at first, then continued to eat his lunch slowly. Only after he had finished all the food on the plate did he slowly stand up and say to Zhou Hong.

"Then let's start the inspection. To be fair, let's start with Ravenclaw."

After saying that, Mike nodded to Harry, Hermione and others, then took Zhou Hong to the Ravenclaw common room.

"You have to calm down, Mike!"

Hermione screamed and tried to grab Mike, but at this time four strong men from the mutual aid society who were not wearing any school logo stood up and blocked her way.

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger. The boss has ordered that what is going to happen is too dangerous for you, so please just dine here."

After saying that, the two men stood guard over Hermione and the others as if they were guarding prisoners.

Hermione compared the number and size of the two sides, and finally could only stomp the ground in anger.

At this time, Mike and Zhou Hong quickly came to the Ravenclaw common room. Neither of them spoke along the way, but they both had excited smiles on their faces.

A large number of fraternity members have now gathered in the Ravenclaw Common Room. These people were transferred by Franklin from various colleges. All of them have been tested with the Truth Potion and are absolutely trustworthy.

Mike also signed employment contracts with the Los Santos Security Company with all the sixth and seventh grade mutual aid members. This means that from now on they are no longer poor part-time workers who owe the Los Santos Corporation's student funds, but quasi-formal employees of Los Santos who can earn 10 gold galleons every week!
This move greatly increased the loyalty of all members of the mutual aid society. You have to know that in this period when Voldemort is rampant, it is very difficult for them as Muggle-born wizards to find jobs. Mike's move undoubtedly solved their biggest worry.

At this moment, they were lining up in a neat square in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Since they occupied most of the open space in the common room, the remaining Ravenclaws could only huddle in corners such as by the bookshelves and in the rest area, looking at them with fear on their faces.

As the door of the lounge opened, Mike and Zhou Hong walked into the Ravenclaw lounge together.

"Hello, Lord Tangli!"

Uniform and loud voices came out from the mouths of every mutual aid association member. At the same time, they pounded their chests, making a dull sound and occasional coughing sounds.

The mutual aid member who was coughing smiled apologetically at Franklin who was standing at the head of their line, as he had hit him too hard just now. The latter glared at him viciously.

Franklin really hated the coughing guy now. He had rehearsed for a long time to perform in front of Mike, but now everyone's efforts were ruined by the coughing guy. On the other side, Mike, who was warmly welcomed, stood there expressionless. No, it can't be said to be expressionless. If you look closely, you can find that the muscles on his face are twitching rhythmically.

The corners of Zhou Hong's mouth next to Mike were twitching wildly. He was trying to hold back his laughter. Dozens of people shouted "Hello, Lord Tang Li" in unison. This scene was really too embarrassing.

"Ahem!" Mike coughed twice and said, "Although I am very grateful that you all welcome me so warmly, I still don't need to use 'Master Tangli' or anything like that. Um, you can just call me boss from now on."

Franklin nodded, and then shouted to all the members of the mutual aid association:
"Did you hear everything? Do it again!"

After hearing this, McDun felt something was wrong, but before he could stop it, he heard a deafening shout from the neat formation again:

"Hi boss!"

"Snapped!"

Mike slapped himself on the forehead. He didn't dare to look at the expressions of his classmates around him. He knew without thinking that they must be feeling very uncomfortable trying to hold back their laughter.

Taking a deep breath, and resisting the urge to transfigure Franklin into a pig's head, Mike slowly walked up to the group of Ravenclaws who were trying to hold back their laughter.

"Classmates, first of all, I must apologize to you because I have taken up your precious lunch break. This is really helpless." Mike bowed to Ravenclaw and said, "I believe everyone should have some understanding of the assassination attempt on me some time ago. That vicious assassin has caused irreparable damage to me and the entire Hogwarts. Now this assassin is still hiding in Hogwarts. To be honest, this makes me very worried. Of course, I am not worried about my own safety. I am still confident in my own strength. If I am prepared, this assassin is not worth mentioning at all. Therefore, I am worried about the personal safety of ordinary students. After all, not everyone is as strong as me. When facing that assassin, most students have no ability to protect themselves. Therefore, after careful consideration and in-depth discussion with the professors, I decided to take tougher measures!"

Mike paused at this point, and the mutual aid members behind Franklin immediately brought out a huge glass jar as tall as an adult, which was filled with a liquid that looked like mercury.

"As you can see, this is enough truth potion for one hundred people!" Mike pointed at the glass jar and said, "Students whose names are called later, please go to the 404 male dormitory, where we will let you drink a small amount of truth potion and then conduct an examination. I would also like to thank Professor Slughorn here. I provided the raw materials for these potions, and Professor Slughorn prepared them for me for free. I feel deeply sorry for this. Professor Slughorn is already old..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students in the lounge went wild.

Everyone was a little bit unbelievable. Mike, whom they regarded as a hero, would actually let them drink this weakened version of truth serum. You know, this is a violation of human rights!
At once, many students began to object, and some boys even wanted to rush out of the lounge by relying on their numbers.

Unfortunately, the mutual aid society members Franklin brought were not just for show.

"There are many obstacles!"

Dozens of gray rays of light shot towards the Ravenclaws. The boys who wanted to escape crashed heavily into a transparent wall before they took a few steps, and their noses were bleeding.

Looking at the boys who were wailing on the ground with their noses covered, Franklin stood up with his wand raised and a grim smile on his face, and said to the trapped Ravenclaws:

"Cooperate with me, otherwise..."

Flames and explosions came from the tip of Franklin's wand, and the faces of the Ravenclaws suddenly turned dark.

"Franklin, how can you threaten your classmates!"

Mike scolded Franklin, who immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake and stepped behind Mike with a sincere attitude.

But as soon as Mike's sight left him, he raised his head and smiled grimly at the Ravenclaws.

What that means is that you guys are just trying to give it a try if you don't cooperate.

"Classmates, you don't have to resist so much. In fact, we are still very humane." Mike said with a smile, "I can swear with the Ravenclaw badge on my chest that my friends and I will keep your words after taking the medicine confidential. In addition, the side effects of this potion are very small and will definitely not have any impact on your future life. Oh! By the way! Don't worry about hygiene. We went to the Muggle store to buy a lot of disposable paper cups this time to ensure that everyone can have one cup!"

After that, the Ravenclaw common room fell into an eerie silence. The Ravenclaws who had just been shouting that they would rather die than obey were now silent, with conflicted expressions, and it was obvious that they were shaken.

The corners of Mike's mouth kept rising. The trick of one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop worked surprisingly well on this group of students.

"Okay, everyone! Let's get started then! The first one is, um, let me see... Sparrow Green, Mr. Green, come on."

At Mike's call, a first-grade boy walked out from the crowd trembling.

Mike walked up to him with a smile, put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the boys' dormitory.

"Don't worry, it's just a small inspection. You just need to answer a few questions after you drink the potion."

"Yes...really?"

The freshman named Green answered in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, and the expression on his face told Mike that he didn't believe what Mike had just said at all.

But it doesn't matter. All things are difficult at the beginning. When Mike and Green disappeared into the dormitory, the uneasy atmosphere in the lounge subsided a little.

Many people even began to comfort themselves.

Michael is a famous genius and hero of Ravenclaw. Would such a person harm his classmates from the same college? No one believed this. You know, even in the special period some time ago, he was very caring towards Ravenclaw.

It has to be said that the prestige that Mike has accumulated within Ravenclaw is still astonishing. Under constant self-comfort, these Ravenclaws have obviously relaxed a lot, and some of them even have forced smiles on their faces.

And among this row of peaceful people, there was a tall and thin figure slowly approaching the semicircular arched window.

Looking at his appearance, he was actually preparing to escape by jumping out of the window!
