Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Fleur and the Beauxbatons students left.

They left in such a hurry that they didn't even attend the Hogwarts Leaving Dinner that they originally planned to attend.

This move was undoubtedly rude, but Dumbledore and others had no intention of blaming them and Durmstrang, who also left early, because everyone knew that this Triwizard Cup was a tragedy for them.

What's more, Voldemort has been resurrected, which means that the country has become a dangerous place again.

Especially since Krum, a pure-blood, also died at the hands of Death Eaters, this means that even pure-bloods are no longer safe.

Their departure made many people in Hogwarts very disappointed. During this year of getting along, many girls from Beauxbatons have established quite deep friendships with the students at Hogwarts. Some of them have

Even fell in love.

And this separation is likely to be an eternal farewell for everyone.

Hagrid was also very sad. The last time Maxim went to his cabin, he actually came to say goodbye to him.

As the principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is impossible for Maxim to stay in the country for love, and it is impossible for Hagrid to leave Hogwarts, so they both know very well that this relationship may not be possible.

It's going to end in vain.

Mike was also a little sorry for Fleur's departure. To be honest, he still liked Fleur (nonsense, any normal man would like Fleur), but the clothes were not as good as the new ones and not as good as the old ones. In comparison, Mike still cared more about Pene.

Luo's feelings.

A few days after everyone at Beauxbatons left, the annual Hogwarts Leaving Dinner also began.

The School Leaving Dinner has always been a repertoire of Hogwarts. It is a festive banquet where students who have nothing to do will eat and drink to vent the stress accumulated over the past year and their worries about the near future.

Looking forward to the next summer vacation.

The previous principals of Hogwarts also know this tradition very well. During this annual festival, even the most stern principals will become kind and approachable, so that the students can be in a good mood and also

It allows students to face their parents with a smile when they go home.

But tonight this tradition seems to be broken.

The decoration of the auditorium has indeed changed, but the flags on the walls and ceiling of the auditorium have not changed to the colors of the Champions Academy as usual, but have been replaced by pure black.

This made the entire auditorium and the students sitting in the auditorium feel depressed.

This is not surprising at all. Except for some perverted minds, no one can be happy in today's "dark clouds overwhelming" environment.

At the long tables in the four major colleges, many students were complaining about the terrible color.

Claiming that they had finally come out of the shadow of Klum's death and the departure of Beauxbatons beauties, the school not only did not intend to make them happier, but also prepared to send them back to their lowest point again.

Some Gryffindor students even said that even Slytherin's ugly green looked much better than black.

Of course, they only dared to talk about these words in private. When Dumbledore on the stage shook the golden bell in his hand, the entire auditorium fell into silence as before.

Mike, Penello and others were sitting at the long Ravenclaw table. As the bell rang, Mike, like everyone else, turned to look towards the stage.

Today, Dumbledore was very rare in wearing a black robe, and everyone on the faculty seat not far from him was also dressed in black. Among them, Hagrid's outfit was the weirdest. Due to his injury, he was not injured yet.

It's so obvious that he has a lot of straps on his body.

However, as we all know, bandages are generally white.

So in order to match the main color of black tonight, Hagrid had to dye all the straps on his body black.

Normally, dressing up like this would definitely draw ridicule from everyone, but tonight no one made fun of him at all.

Because everyone knows that Hagrid just escaped with his life some time ago, and Bagman, who was impersonated by Barty Jr. like him, was not so lucky, because Barty Jr. imprisoned him in a very remote place.

place, so he was already dead when the Aurors found him.

He wasn't killed by Barty Jr.

Rather, starved to death.

This is undoubtedly a huge tragedy, especially for Bagman's creditors.

"Another year," Dumbledore said, looking at everyone, "it's over."

As Dumbledore's loud voice echoed in the auditorium, the students' attention became more focused, because according to the practice in the past few years, Dumbledore's next speech was bound to announce something extremely important.

"Tonight was supposed to be a festive day. There have been so many things in the past year that are worthy of celebration. For example, some of us have finished their studies and started to move on to their new lives, and for example

We won the Triwizard Tournament." Dumbledore said, "But there were also many tragedies that happened in the past year, and I think that we should remember those things more than those joyful things.

tragedy."

Dumbledore stopped, and the students in the audience also became nervous.

"I think many people already know what I am going to say." Dumbledore continued, "In the recent Triwizard Tournament, we lost a good friend, Krum. Our school's Care of Magical Creatures class

The professor was also attacked and almost lost his life. You must have heard about these things from newspapers or classmates. But what I want to tell you is that the person who caused all this was indeed a Death Eater, but it was also Voldemort."

Hearing the words Voldemort, many people in the auditorium couldn't help but tremble, and a smile appeared on Mike's lips.

"Yes, Voldemort, he is back."

After saying that, there was a strange silence in the auditorium first, and then dense whispers started. Now everyone could no longer care about the majesty of the principal, and a feeling called uneasiness quickly filled the auditorium.

Come on.

"The Ministry of Magic does not want me to tell you this." Dumbledore continued, "Some parents may be shocked by what I did. This may be because they cannot believe that Voldemort is really back, or because

They think I shouldn't tell you this because you are still young. However, I believe that telling the truth is always better than lying."

At this time, shock and fear were written on every face in the auditorium. Except for Slytherin, most of the Slytherin students did not show panic after hearing Dumbledore's words. On the contrary, among them

There were excited smiles on the faces of many people. They gathered together in twos and threes and whispered, seeming to be discussing how to join the Dark Lord's camp, and the most active one among them was Malfoy.

This move made many people's impression of Slytherin drop to rock bottom, and many Gryffindor boys had even rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore spoke again.

"Of course, when talking about these things, I must also mention two other people." Dumbledore said, "Yes, I am talking about Harry Potter and Mike Townley."

Dumbledore's words made the Gryffindor boys get out of their seats and return to where they should be.

"Harry Potter and Mike Townley, the two of them faced Voldemort that night and escaped from his clutches." Dumbledore said, "Especially Mike Townley, who risked his life to keep Harry safe.

He brought him back to Hogwarts. He showed a fearless spirit in all aspects. Few wizards can show this kind of spirit when facing the power of Voldemort. For this, I pay tribute to him."

Dumbledore turned to Mike seriously and raised his goblet.

Almost everyone in the auditorium did so. They excitedly chanted Mike's name and toasted him.

Mike also stood up with a goblet filled with juice. He first bowed to the people standing on the faculty and staff seats, then bowed to the students to express his gratitude. Finally, he joined everyone and bowed his head.

Drink all the juice in the cup.

When he stood up and bowed, he also saw the scene on the Slytherin side.

At the long Slytherin table, only a handful of people, including Chris, stood up and toasted to Mike. The rest of the people sat stubbornly in their chairs, thinking that what Dumbledore just said was fart.

At the same time, Mike also noticed that the Slytherins who stood up with Chris had all been seen by Mike in the investigation report submitted by the mutual aid association. These people had one thing in common, that is, they were all mixed-race!

And all the purebloods, without exception, ignored their king!

Mike sat down slowly, the smile on his face getting wider.

"To be honest, I really hope I am wrong. But now, we all have to accept this terrible fact." Dumbledore said, "I believe that we will all face dark and difficult times.

Some of you in this hall have been directly harmed by Voldemort's poisonous hands. Many of your families have been torn apart.

Voldemort is very strong, I do not deny this. But I do not think that he is so powerful that no one can stop him. I hope that everyone can unite. Only when we are united can we be strong. If we are divided, we will be vulnerable.

Voldemort's methods of creating conflict and hostility are very clever." As he spoke, Dumbledore looked at the Slytherin table, "We can only fight it to the end if we show the same unbreakable friendship and trust. As long as we have the same goal, Voldemort will

will be defeated!"

Dumbledore's words were so sonorous and powerful that many students, mainly Gryffindor, were filled with enthusiasm and couldn't help but stand up and cheer.

But more people bowed their heads and remained silent, and the Slytherin purebloods even sneered.

This scene was all seen by Dumbledore, who was standing at a high place, and his shining eyes could not help but be tinged with a hint of haze.

…

The school leaving dinner was over, and everyone was not very happy with the meal, especially Slytherin.

Because Dumbledore didn't talk about the Academy Cup until the end of the dinner, and judging from the score on the jeweled hourglass in the foyer, this year's Student Cup should be theirs.

Normally, if Dumbledore had treated them like this, they would have already launched a complaint against him, but now they had more important things to do, such as telling their parents about Voldemort's resurrection.

Mike, Franklin and other members of the Freemasonry did not return to the lounge like other students, but gathered in the secret realm of the Freemasonry.

After another round of expansion, the number of Freemasonry members increased again. Franklin's new girlfriend Clinton and Zhou Hong and others also joined the Freemasonry. At this moment, they are sitting in the meeting room of the Freemasonry.

Their joining made the originally empty conference room a little more crowded. However, even though there were more people, the atmosphere in the conference room did not become lively. Everyone sat in their seats with their heads lowered and remained silent.

language.

Even the Weasley brothers, who were the most out-of-the-box in the past, are no exception.

This is not surprising at all. With the exception of the Weasley brothers, all members of the Freemasonry are of Muggle descent. Even the Weasley brothers, who are pure blood, are the Muggle-protecting faction that Voldemort hates.

It can be said that Freemasonry is naturally on the opposite side of Voldemort, and the two are bound to have a life-and-death battle in the future!

Facing the most powerful dark wizard in the world today, it can be said that everyone has no confidence at all.

Despair and uneasiness are permeating the conference room. The only sound that can be heard in the auditorium is the sound of shoe soles hitting the floor.

This is Franklin shaking his legs. He is used to this way to relieve his tension.

This is obviously a bad habit. This kind of intensive noise can easily make people feel irritable, and many people in the conference room frowned.

Finally, Miss Clinton, who was sitting next to Franklin, took action. She reached out and held down Franklin's leg, and the annoying sound finally disappeared.

But as Miss Clinton let go of her hand, Franklin involuntarily began to shake his legs.

Franklin made an apologetic gesture before everyone else, indicating that he had no control over it, so Miss Clinton could only keep pressing her hand on Franklin's thigh.

Opposite them, Benjamin seemed to be unable to bear the strange atmosphere anymore. He stood up quickly and slammed the table.

"Bang!"

This loud noise startled everyone. Everyone looked at Benjamin in surprise, but Benjamin's eyes fell on the tall figure at the head of the long table.

"Say something, Mike!"

Mike's emotionless eyes turned to Benjamin and asked calmly:

"What do you want to hear from me?"

Mike's look directly made Benjamin, who was furious just now, feel his stomach tremble. His throat squirmed greatly, and he hesitated for a while before speaking at a much lower volume than before:

"Of course...it's about what we should do next."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Mike stretched and said, "Next, let's go to the bank. Well, to be precise, what we want to shoot is a magical bank, that is, Gringotts."

Everyone: "?"
