Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 636 Proposal (Part )

In the afternoon, the auditorium of the Masonic Secret Realm has become busy.

A dozen waiters hired by the Los Santos Group were quickly decorating the place in preparation for tonight's banquet.

Mike was wearing a custom-made dark blue suit and sitting in the office with an expressionless face.

"boom!"

A slight explosion was heard from the fireplace in the office, and a faint blue smoke floated out.

Hearing the sound, Mike was startled, and he stood up suddenly and looked over, and saw Professor Flitwick, wearing a gorgeous robe, walking out of the fireplace.

"Mike! You'd better give me a good enough reason. You know, I have to postpone a lot of official duties to have time to come here!" Professor Flitwick muttered, and as he spoke, he pulled at his robe. "Merlin's beard! This robe is so uncomfortable! I really don't know why you let me dress so formally!"

Mike raised the corner of his mouth slightly, came to Professor Flitwick, squatted down, looked at Professor Flitwick at eye level and said:

"Tonight, I'm going to propose to Penelope."

Professor Flitwick was stunned when he heard this.

He stared at Mike with his eyes wide open, his big eyes full of disbelief, and murmured:

"Oh my Merlin! Are you going to propose to Penelope?"

Mike didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded.

Professor Flitwick couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Mike's shoulders with both hands and shouted excitedly while jumping:

"Oh! Penelope will definitely agree to you! You're getting married! You're going to have a baby! Oh! Merlin! Have you thought about the name of the child? How many are you going to have? Two, a boy and a girl! No, no, no! The more the better! Merlin..."

Professor Flitwick's face suddenly changed in the middle of his speech. He looked at his gorgeous robes and said:
"Damn it! You should have told me this news earlier! This robe is not suitable for this occasion! I have a dress made of gold thread in my trunk. I will change into it right away!"

Professor Flitwick turned and tried to get into the fireplace.

Seeing this, Mike quickly grabbed him and said:
"I'm just proposing to you today. Why don't you save your dress for when I get married? Otherwise, if you wear it now, what will you wear then?"

Professor Flitwick was stunned for a moment, rubbing his hands and saying with some embarrassment:

"But today is a big day! I'm like this..."

"It's okay, Professor Flitwick! You're dressed enough now!" Mike said, grabbing Flitwick's shoulders, "And as you know, I'm an orphan without parents. To me, you are my most beloved elder. So I really want you to witness these important moments for me, and I also very much want your blessing!"

"Oh! my good boy!"

Professor Flitwick's voice was a little choked. He hugged Mike and put his face against Mike's.

Feeling the wetness on his face, Mike also felt his nose getting a little sour. He sniffed, calmed down and continued:
"Hey, didn't you ask me about the baby's name? Actually, I've thought about it. If Penelope and I have children in the future, the boy will be named Brandon and the girl will be named Amy! What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Mike could clearly feel that Professor Flitwick's body suddenly became a little stiff.

Then Professor Flitwick let go of his hand, looked at Mike with a complicated expression for a while, and then said slowly:
"I think you should listen to Penelope's opinion on the name of the child. Because... you really don't have any talent for naming."

"Is...really? Okay, I'll talk to her more." Mike scratched his nose awkwardly, then said firmly, "But regarding the child's name, there is one thing I won't give in to! I will add your name to my child's middle name! For example, Amy Filius Townley!"

"real!?"

The expression of disbelief and excitement returned to Flitwick's face again, but this time, the joy and surprise on Flitwick's face were quickly replaced by panic.

He took a few steps back and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no! You'd better not do this! I'm a half-elf! If you use my name as your child's middle name, people will look down on her!"

"No one will look down on her. Because she has a legendary wizard father!"

"I still feel..."

"Okay, stop talking about this, I've made up my mind!" Mike stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "You should come and help me see how I look like in this look, you know I'm the star today!"

Professor Flitwick opened and closed his mouth several times, but finally reached out his shaking hand and pulled down Mike's left hand, and said in a stammering voice:

"Your right shoulder always tends to slump down, which makes you look ruffian."

"Have it?"

Mike looked over his shoulder suspiciously.

"Of course! You have to adjust quickly, otherwise you'll look like a scoundrel even in a suit!"

"Okay, but how do I do that?"

"Let's try this first..."

……

Half an hour later, Mike's shoulder problem was finally solved with the help of Professor Flitwick, and the solution was very simple, which was to add an extra shoulder pad.

During this time, perhaps in order to change the topic and relieve the tension, Professor Flitwick also told Mike a lot about Hogwarts.

The one who was talked about the most was Harry.

Professor Flitwick eventually discovered that this guy was drinking late at night with the Gryffindor boys, and the result was that Harry's working hours increased by more than a hundred hours.

The other guys who got drunk with Harry received the same punishment, and the Gryffindor score hourglass was instantly emptied.

But the Gryffindors didn't care too much about this.

Compared to the house points and so-called labor, they cared more about Harry's return.

This is undoubtedly good news for Gryffindor, which has been in a slump this year. At least they can achieve better results in the Quidditch Cup.

In fact, Mike already knew about these things a long time ago.

His current control over Hogwarts and his ability to obtain intelligence are definitely greater than any other Minister of Magic in history, because in addition to the Aurors he sent out on his own initiative, there are countless students and faculty members inside Hogwarts who have received Mike's favor and are lining up to work for him.

The presence of these people made Hogwarts completely devoid of privacy for him.

This is also why he was willing to let Harry go back to Hogwarts and return the Death Cloak to him.

For Mike now, as long as Harry doesn't leave Yingguo, it doesn't matter where he goes.

If Mike is prepared, even if the Death Cloak exists, he can send someone to capture him back in the first time!

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but straighten his chest. Even he couldn't help but feel a little proud of being able to achieve this.

At this time, Professor Flitwick was looking at Mike with pride. Although he never married and had no offspring, the young man in front of him was his most outstanding student and the continuation of his life and spirit!
Mike noticed Flitwick's look, he patted Professor Flitwick on the back and said:
"Come on, Professor Flitwick!"

Professor Flitwick didn't say anything. He just wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded, and walked out the door with Mike.

……

At this time, countless delicacies have been placed on two long tables in the Masonic Hall. There is also a champagne tower in the center of the hall, shining brightly under the light of the magic lamp on the ceiling.

Benjamin, Franklin and other boys are already in place.

At this moment, they were gathered together and talking to each other, and not far away from them, there were a dozen waiters ready to serve them at any time. Today's banquet was held in the name of a celebration banquet, so Mike did not invite anyone except the Freemasons and Professor Flitwick, which Franklin and the others knew very well.

They have held many such banquets before. Logically speaking, the format of such banquets should be casual, and even just having a meal together can be considered a banquet.

But this time it's different.

In the opinion of Franklin and others, Mike's importance to this banquet was a little exaggerated.

Not only did they open the largest auditorium in the Masonic secret territory, they even required all the participants to wear their best dresses!

This is a bit too much to ask. After all, a martial arts fanatic like Arthur would never own a formal suit.

So Arthur came wearing a brand new swordsman's uniform.

His explanation is very interesting. In his own words, he is a swordsman! For a swordsman, the swordsman uniform is the best dress!
This was very powerful. Everyone who heard it gave Arthur a thumbs up. They all believed that even if this reason was put in front of Mike, the other party would not be able to find any fault with it.

Besides Arthur, there was only one other person in the auditorium who was not wearing a suit, and that was Victor.

And what Victor did was far more excessive than Arthur.

Arthur at least knew to change into new clothes, but Victor came in just wearing a dirty white coat.

This was obviously a bit unreasonable, but no one said much.

Because ever since he did something like hunting down Harry, no one has had a good impression of him anymore.

Among them, Zhou Hong even developed some hatred towards Victor. He had been glaring at him fiercely since Victor appeared in the auditorium.

At the same time, everyone also knows that he is now a mechanical life form, he does not need to eat or drink, and even does not need to socialize due to his personality.

To be honest, he came here just to give Mike face.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.

Mac and Professor Flitwick walked into the Great Hall side by side.

Seeing this, everyone had different expressions.

Franklin instinctively hid the wine glass in his hand behind him. Victor looked at his dirty robe and his expression suddenly became a little flustered, while Benjamin and Arthur's eyes flashed a hint of understanding.

They felt that they finally understood why Mike made this party so formal.

Since Professor Flitwick has shown up, this banquet called a celebration banquet should actually be called a thank-you banquet for teachers.

It is appropriate to be solemn on such an important occasion.

While everyone was lost in thought, Mike had already brought Professor Flitwick to the front of them.

Professor Flitwick seemed very happy to see his former students again. He greeted everyone enthusiastically.

"Oh! Franklin! Take the wine glass out from behind! You are no longer a little wizard! Haha! We must have a good drink today!"

"Yes Yes!"

Franklin's waist bent instinctively. He was over two meters tall and kept nodding and bowing to the short Professor Flitwick, a bit like a gorilla saluting a mouse. It looked very funny.

"Benjamin! You look much more handsome than you did at Hogwarts!"

"Thank you!"

Benjamin responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction, looking around and soon found Victor hiding in a corner and hiding himself in a barrel.

Professor Flitwick walked over with a laugh, but when he saw Victor's appearance, the smile on his face turned into shock.

"Oh! my Victor! What has become of you?"

"Uh... um, this was an accident, Professor Victor, I just..."

Victor clutched his dirty white coat awkwardly. Even though his body had long been replaced by steel, he still felt a little embarrassed.

After all, his current attire was quite sloppy, and Professor Flitwick might have some bad assumptions because of it.

Thinking of this, Victor lowered his head even lower.

Then at this moment, a small hand touched his face.

Professor Flitwick looked at Victor distressedly and said:

"My child, you have suffered! It must be Mike who made you like this, right? Don't worry, I will..."

Professor Flitwick was still chattering away, but Victor could no longer hear what he said next.

At this moment, Victor only felt that the energy in his body was a little disordered, and then he knelt down uncontrollably and hugged Professor Flitwick.

"Professor Flitwick!"

Victor roared loudly with sobs in his voice, which made Flitwick even more distressed. While comforting Victor, he also cast a vicious look at Mike.

Mike touched his nose, turned his head embarrassedly, and looked towards the door of the auditorium.

According to his speculation, the girls should have finished putting on their makeup and were about to arrive by this time.

Just as this thought came to his mind, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.

Then three beauties walked in.

That was Penelope, Soraka, and Hilary.

As the three people entered, the light in the entire auditorium seemed to become brighter.

At the same time, the conversation that was originally echoing in the auditorium completely disappeared, and everyone was staring at them in a daze.

In the corner, Victor was still hugging Professor Flitwick and crying. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was crying. It would be more appropriate to describe him as howling. After all, Victor did not install such a useless thing as tear glands on this body.

He didn't know why he lost his composure today. Logically, he should have become a completely rational advanced life form.

But he didn't want to think about these things now. The only thing he wanted to do now was to hug Professor Flitwick and have a good cry.

However, Professor Flitwick didn't think so.

With the arrival of Penelope and the other two, Professor Flitwick's originally relaxed body suddenly tensed up.

Then he pushed Victor away, stood up, and nervously began to tidy up his robe which was a little messy because of Victor's rubbing.

Victor, who was pushed away by him, sat on the floor in a daze, with a confused look on his face.
