Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 94 The Heirs in Action
In the magnificent hall, Mike, Penelope and Franklin sat side by side at the long table that belonged to Ravenclaw. The hall was decorated with many pumpkin lanterns and monster sculptures, and there were countless bats hanging from the ceiling. Ghosts and bats flew past the three of them from time to time.

But don't worry that these bats will urinate and defecate everywhere like the owls that delivered the message at breakfast. These bats were created by Transfiguration and have no excretion function at all.

"Penelope, Franklin, you must follow me closely tonight." Mike said to the two people sitting next to him.

"I know, Mike, you've said this countless times." Penelope said helplessly, rolling her eyes.

Franklin, who was standing by, had his mouth full of food and couldn't speak, so he could only nod in agreement.

Smelling the faint pumpkin aroma in the air, Mike sighed deeply, picked up the Dolphin Magic Drink beside him and drank it all.

Mike's worried look seemed out of place with the laughter around him.

Ever since talking with Ms. Grey, Mike has been in a tense state. After all, for a straight man like Mike, turning into a beautiful girl is a punishment more painful than death.

However, after checking the information, Mike discovered that, just as Ms. Grey said, Mike could give up the silver sword route. The Sword of Gryffindor was indeed the only remaining strongest silver sword.

Then the only remaining method is to fight hard, but the strength of the soul is basically something that is inherently constant. Mike asked everyone he could, but he couldn't find any way to increase the strength of the soul.

In desperation, Mike could only meditate and practice brain occlumency desperately, hoping to increase his soul strength a little while his mental power increased.

However, time waits for no one, and just when Mike was worrying about the crown, Halloween came again. In order to ensure the safety of Penelope and Franklin, Mike had to ask them to follow him closely. You know, in the original book, tonight is the time when the basilisk attacks for the first time. If the two turned around and ran into the basilisk, it would be bad.

After all, this is the real world, not the children's book in the original novel (at least the Chamber of Secrets is a children's book). In the real world, there will be no coincidences like petrification in the original novel. Ordinary people will basically die if they encounter a basilisk.

"Why are you so depressed, Mike?" The Weasley brothers appeared out of nowhere. "Today is a happy day, not only because it's Halloween, but also because our Dolphin Magic Drink is sold out again. The new orange-flavored Dolphin Magic Drink is so popular!"

Looking at the two excited Weasley brothers in front of him, Mike forced a smile and said nothing. Instead, he raised the Dolphin Magic Drink again and drank it.

Mike has had too many worries recently and he really wants to get drunk to drown his sorrows.

The Weasley brothers seemed to notice that Mike was in a bad mood, so they stopped pestering Mike and went somewhere else to sell the Dolphin Magic Drink and some of their homemade magic joke props.

During this period, the Weasley brothers could be said to be the happiest people in the entire Hogwarts. After having money, they could finally try to make magic joke props without any hesitation.

These two people are indeed geniuses. Although the magic joke props they made still have some major shortcomings in quality, they are all quite creative. For example, they have played with the prank candies that can transform people after eating them, toads, fire dragons, turkeys... They have basically tried all the animals you can think of.

And they have recently improved the formula of Dolphin Magic Drink and made a new flavor of Dolphin Magic Drink, which has been very popular in Hogwarts. Of course, the new flavor of Dolphin Magic Drink is also Dolphin Magic Drink, and Mike will also get a share of it.

Watching the funny skeletons dancing on the stage and the rare delicacies on the long table in front of him, Mike was gradually infected by the cheerful atmosphere around him and had a little appetite. He cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth to chew. The tender taste and mellow aroma of the steak instantly burst in Mike's mouth.

Mike closed his eyes in enjoyment, secretly praising the hardworking house-elf in his heart, the food he made was comparable to Michelin food.

Mike secretly made up his mind that he must get a house-elf to be his servant in the future. He didn't ask him to fight for him or anything, just ask him to cook for him every day.

But a house-elves is a rare commodity that is in short supply and cannot be obtained with money alone, and luck is also needed. However, Mike is very confident about this, as he is a cheating character with a strong luck golden finger. Although this golden finger often goes offline, it will always work after a long time.

Delicious food really makes people happy. As Mike ate more and more, his depressed mood gradually disappeared. As Mike finished the last dessert in a few bites, tonight's Halloween dinner came to an end.

After Professor Dumbledore announced that this year's Halloween dinner was successfully concluded, the little wizards, who had eaten their fill, lined up and left the hall in an orderly manner under the direction of their respective college prefects.

At this time, Mike, who was mixed in the crowd with Penelope and Franklin, was also very alert. The magic wand in his sleeve was ready to appear in his hand at any time.

The bloody words on the wall are about to appear!
"Merlin! We didn't even make it to the last dessert!"

"I said we should have left earlier, now we're done for!"

The voices of Harry and Ron's conversation reached Mike's ears. He saw the two of them standing in the corridor outside the door, looking at the crowd leaving with frustrated faces.

Mike was a little surprised. He looked around but didn't find the petrified cat or any bloody words. However, Mike's face became even uglier. The unknown enemy was the most terrifying. If everything went according to the original book, Mike would be relieved, but now it seems that everything has deviated from the original track.

"Damn it, I'm clearly far enough away from the main line!" Mike cursed in his heart.

Continuing to be vigilant about his surroundings, Mike followed the crowd back to the Ravenclaw common room.

Mike didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he returned to his dormitory. At least nothing would happen tonight. The eagle-head door knocker of the Ravenclaw common room was very powerful, and the basilisk would definitely not be able to break in.

But Mike was still too naive.

The next morning, when Mike walked out of his dormitory in high spirits, he found that the Ravenclaw common room was empty.

After looking around, he found that people were all gathered at the eagle-head door knocker. When Mike squeezed into the crowd, the scene in front of him made Mike's eyes widen.

A stiff man was standing facing the eagle-head door knocker, holding an opened letter in his hand. That person was Penelope.
