Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 99: We Are in the Same Boat (Thanks to Trooper1770 for the reward)
"I'm not a pure-blood idiot like you who was born of inbreeding. I'm just fulfilling my duties as a member of the management team!" Mike replied expressionlessly in response to the provocation of the Slytherin boy, "Also, apologize to that Hufflepuff just now."

The many Muggle-blood students who were already indignant all surrounded Mike with joy when they saw him come out, especially the Hufflepuff student. He was so excited that he almost cried. Originally, he thought he could only swallow his anger because their Hufflepuff patronus Cedric was not in the hall because he had to go on patrol.

He didn't expect that the notorious Mike would stand up for an ordinary Muggle-blood student like him. From that moment on, most Hufflepuff students, including him, had a greatly changed impression of Mike.

The Slytherin boy flew into a rage after hearing what Mike said. He had always been proud of his noble bloodline, and what he hated most was others insulting his bloodline.

Although Mike's notoriety had spread throughout Slytherin House after the Quidditch match at the beginning of the semester, his extreme anger obviously suppressed his reason.

"Say it again if you dare, I promise I will make sure there is no trace of you left! I'm not that loser Malfoy who can't even deal with a second-year trash Mudblood like you!" the Slytherin boy cursed.

At this time, the other Slytherin students around him had already noticed the increasing number of Muggle-blood students, and realized that something was wrong. They hurriedly grabbed the Slytherin boy who was confronting Mike and signaled him to shut up.

However, the boy who was already in high spirits couldn't stop himself. He just poked Mike's chest with his finger and continued, "You bunch of mudbloods, don't you know yet? Even if the monster in the Chamber of Secrets can't kill you all, you won't be able to stay in Hogwarts for long. Hogwarts will be closed soon because of the basilisk incident! And you mudbloods should roll back into your mud pits by then! Especially you, Mike. I heard that you are an orphan, right? Now, you can finally go back to your garbage dump and continue to pick up garbage to eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mike hit him on the chin with an uppercut. Although Mike was only 12 years old and usually obsessed with magic and had no intention of training, he was a street thug in his previous life and was a first-rate fighter.

The end of the jawbone is directly connected to the main nerve of the brain stem, and there are also very rich vagus nerves near the chin. A heavy blow can easily cause a person to fall into a coma. Although Mike's punch was not very powerful, the Slytherin boy still felt dizzy and fell into the arms of the people behind him.

However, things were not over yet. Franklin, who was mixed in the crowd, had already come to Mike with the grown-up Alfu on his head. Seeing this, he kicked him.

The Muggle-blooded young wizards around became furious after hearing the insulting words from the other party. When they saw Mike and Franklin taking the lead in the fight, they could no longer tolerate it. They immediately rushed forward and started punching and kicking the Slytherin boys.

Some of the more timid girls did not dare to squeeze into the crowd to beat up the Slytherin boys, so they could only cheer from outside the crowd.

The other Slytherin students were also paying attention to the situation here. At first, when they saw their classmates having a conflict with Mike, they looked like they were watching a good show, but when they found that the situation took a turn for the worse, they quickly stood up and joined the battle.

Thus, a verbal dispute smoothly turned into a group fight between Slytherin house and Muggle-blooded students from the other three houses.

When Cedric received the news that his junior was bullied, he came to the hall with Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, only to see many Slytherin students lying on the ground in a mess and many Muggle-blood students gathered together to listen to Mike's speech.

"…I am a mudblood! I have always used this discriminatory name to refer to myself. I do this not because I am self-degrading, nor because I have no shame, but because every time I say these three words, the strong sense of humiliation will remind me what kind of environment I am in now.

Remind me to fight back bravely when facing discrimination!

Remind me to help my compatriots who are also suffering from discrimination! My compatriots, please do not despair or lose heart in these difficult days!

Please remember! Only when we unite together can we be the strongest! The so-called Slytherin heir is simply vulnerable to the power of unity! Let us work together to get through these difficult days!"

As Mike's speech came to an end, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

Professor Sprout, who was full of emotion, had tears welling up in his eyes. He wiped his eyes with his hand and said to Cedric, who had been stunned for a long time, "What a great thing to say!"

Although I was very touched, I still had to do my work.

After his emotions had stabilized a little, Professor Sprout finally stepped forward to maintain order.

The student who came to report the news on the road had already told Professor Sprout and Cedric the whole cause of the incident, so at this time Professor Sprout simply ignored the Slytherins lying on the ground and began to comfort the Muggle-born students present, and also emphasized on thanking Mike for standing up to help her students.

The Slytherin students present were not treated until Professor Snape, who arrived late, spoke. Professor Sprout was quite dissatisfied with this.

She could see that the injuries of these students were not serious, and Mike and the others had not used any spells just now. She had no good feelings towards those who bullied her students, and according to her thinking, they should lie on the cold floor for a whole day.

Professor Snape was going to deduct Mike's points, but Dumbledore denied it. So many people were involved in the fight, and the Slytherin students were the cause of it. If they really followed Snape's advice, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among most of the Muggle-born students in Hogwarts.

Snape certainly understood the principle of not punishing the masses, but he had no other choice at the moment. If he did not protest to Dumbledore, his reputation within Slytherin would be reduced, which he could not tolerate.

After this incident, Mike became a hero in the eyes of the Muggle-blood students. The students who were previously a little afraid of Mike also changed their views of him greatly.

Mike's speech in the auditorium spread among the Muggle students, which greatly improved the mental outlook of the Muggle students.

Now when they see fellow Muggle-bloods in trouble, they no longer stand by and watch, but rush to help. They also change their previous behavior of avoiding pure-blood students and instead stare at them with hatred, making all the pure-blood students very nervous.

I would feel bad if I didn't update the book after receiving such a large reward from the two big guys, but updating it right away would disrupt the rhythm of the plot, so please allow me to save it until the day of the book's release. Anyway, the book is not far from being released, it should be in the next two weeks.
