Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 65 Trading
"I was just bored, so I came to chat with you." Penelope might have laughed too quickly and was a little out of breath.

"Where's Percy? Is that guy still bothering you?"

"No, power is the most important thing to that guy." Penelope shook her head slightly. "For example, right now, he is maintaining order in the back carriage."

Mike sneered when he heard this. It was indeed the job of the prefects to maintain order in the freshman carriage. However, almost all prefects would not do such a thankless job. After all, naughty kids all over the world were equally difficult to deal with.

A prefect who wants to do this tough job is either a good-natured person who wants to help everyone, or an ambitious person who is eager to show off.

Percy certainly falls into the latter category.

Last year, Percy was not seen guiding the freshmen, but this year he has become so diligent. His goal is nothing more than the position of the male student union president next year. However, he has already been trying to win people's hearts before the semester has even started, which surprised Mike a little. It seems that he has read the book "How Prefects Get Power" for a reason.

Seeing that Mike didn't say anything, Penelope changed the topic to a lighter one and continued chatting with Mike.

The Hogwarts Express was not very fast, the bright sunshine outside the window did not make people feel hot, and with a beautiful girl by his side, Mike felt that life was so beautiful. It was a pity that Franklin beside him was really unromantic and was still serving the broken bird on his head.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, the door of the box was opened again. Mike looked towards the door with a bad face, he wanted to see which bastard dared to ruin such a beautiful scene.

Draco walked into the box with a broomstick in his hand, followed by two followers, Goyle and Crabbe. He was very arrogant. Seeing Mike staring at him fiercely in the box, he restrained himself a little.

"Mike? Are you...on a date?"

"Whether you're dating or not is none of your business. But what are you doing walking around with a Nimbus 2001?" Mike paused and said as if he suddenly realized something. "Oh! Are you planning to show off this Nimbus 2001 to Potter? You are really a child, hahaha!"

After that, Mike and the others burst into laughter. Penelope was more polite and knew to cover her mouth while laughing, but Franklin and the owl on his head were not so good. They laughed so hard that they collapsed on the carpet and were pounding the ground with their fists.

Draco, who was standing by, was very happy when he heard the first half of the conversation when he saw that Mike recognized that what he was holding was the most advanced Nimbus 2001. He raised his head proudly. From the angle Mike was sitting in his seat, he couldn't see Draco's expression at all, he could only see a pair of dark nostrils.

Draco broke down when he heard the second half of the sentence. The laughter of the crowd was like a bunch of small knives, constantly cutting his face.

Especially the owl, it was the first time Draco saw an owl that could laugh. If it were any other time, he would definitely beg his father to buy it home to play with, but now Draco just wanted to strangle it to death, that laughter was too mocking.

Mike, who was sitting in his seat, stopped and looked at Draco at the door, his face changing from blue to white, feeling a little surprised.

This is strange. If Draco had been humiliated like this at other times, he would have probably started cursing and even started a fight. Why is he so sincere today?

Franklin laughed for a while and found that Mike and Penelope had stopped and were looking at Draco and others expressionlessly, so he stopped laughing too.

However, Alfu above him obviously didn't think so and was still laughing. Alfu's iconic laughter echoed in the small box. Franklin noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. One hand was already on the wand beside him, and the other hand pinched Alfu's beak, which made it stop.

Seeing that Draco still said nothing and just stared at him fiercely, Mike stood up and walked to Draco and looked at him with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Franklin also hurried forward and stood not far behind Mike, with the magic wand already in his hand. Penelope was a little overwhelmed, but after a little hesitation, she gritted her teeth and followed Franklin's example and stood behind Mike.

The distance between Mike and Draco was less than 20 centimeters. Draco looked at Mike, who was half a head taller than him, and looked at him with such cold eyes. Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He felt panic in his heart and could not help but take a half step back.

Mike noticed Draco's little move, and said with a slightly mocking smile: "Why don't you get out of here?"

Draco's face darkened when he heard this, and his fists turned white from being clenched. Goyle and Crabbe behind him were about to step forward to teach Mike a lesson, but they found that Franklin had already pointed his wand at them, so they had to give up.

Draco took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to take out his wand. At the same time, he pulled an ugly smile and said, "I heard that you joined the Crow's Nest?"

"So what?"

Mike pressed forward again. Draco was startled by his sudden action and took a big step back, almost retreating to the corridor.

"We can be friends, Mike." Draco could no longer keep the smile on his face. "You saw how much Dumbledore favored Gryffindor at last year's year-end dinner. If we want to defeat Gryffindor this year, we can only have a chance if we combine the strength of Slytherin and Ravenclaw!"

"I won't mention whether the two of us second-year wizards can represent our respective houses." Mike did not comment. "I just ask you, what good will this do me? Don't talk about the honor of the house, that means nothing to me. I don't care whether Gryffindor wins or Hufflepuff wins."

Draco seemed to be shocked by Mike's remarks. He didn't react for a long time. He was silent for a long time before he said, "You can gain the friendship of the Malfoy family!"

"Hahahaha!"

Alfred, who was standing above Franklin, seemed to be amused by Draco's words and laughed mockingly again. Mike and the others also laughed happily under the influence of this devilish laughter.

"The friendship of the Malfoy family is worthless to me. I know exactly what you mean. Don't you just want me to help you deal with Gryffindor?" Mike almost died of laughter. "Since you are asking someone to do something for you, at least be sincere and don't keep fooling me with such empty talk."

"What do you want!" Draco said through gritted teeth.

Mike stopped smiling, put on a serious expression, leaned over and whispered to Draco:
"Unforgivable Curses! As long as you give me the three Unforgivable Curses, I will help you deal with those reckless people in Gryffindor. How about that? I heard that your whole family are dark wizards, so I guess you can still cast a small Unforgivable Curse."

Draco's face turned pale instantly after he heard Mike's whisper, and he looked at Mike in horror with his mouth wide open.
