Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Chapter 454 The so-called dress

With the arrival of autumn, the sunshine time in Yingguo has become shorter and shorter. Just as dinner arrived, the sun in the sky had slowly sunk into the other end of the mountain.

Magic candles were also lit early in the Hogwarts Castle for lighting.

Mike walked slowly in the dim corridor, and the bright yellow light of the candle hit him, shining on his solemn and serious Ravenclaw uniform and his blonde hair.

It was dinner time, but Mike did not stay in the restaurant like everyone else, but walked towards the basement with a swagger.

Today is Saturday, and it is the day to make an appointment with Professor Slughorn to attend the 'Slug Club' banquet.

But it is regrettable that no one whom Laven Cruyne was familiar with was invited except for the girl named Emma and another boy from a pure blood family.

As he walked, Mike couldn't help but think that if Benjamin was still at Hogwarts, he would have been invited, after all, his talent in potions was so outstanding.

Mike, who was thinking about it, came to the corridor outside the Potion Class classroom without realizing it, and two figures stood up here early.

"Harry! You should wear a bow tie, your tie is so ugly!"

Under the dim light, Hermione was looking at Harry with disgust.

It can be seen that Hermione attaches great importance to this banquet.

She once again changed into the light pink dress she wore at the Christmas dinner at the Fog of Fire before, and used magic softening agent to recombine the messy hair. Even the original plain face showed some signs of makeup.

But Hermione seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, in the eyes of some old-fashioned nobles, dresses, especially evening gowns, are consumables. They can only be worn once at a banquet, and are something that can be thrown away after wearing them.

This is a means of showing off by some boring nobles, and it is also a screening mechanism.

Because a dress is expensive, by making up a set of dresses that can only be used once, they can show off their wealth and effectively screen out those fake nobles who are just scattered into the banquet.

If it is an ordinary school banquet, those pure-blood nobles will not say anything. After all, the main body of Hogwarts students is still ordinary students from ordinary families or poor families. This arrangement can easily arouse public anger.

But it was different at the later dinner of the "Slug Club" where elites gathered. Hermione is likely to be attacked by a group because of this incident.

On the other side, Harry, who was disliked by Hermione, wore a dress specially prepared for him by Sirius for this kind of scene. Well, the style is exactly the same as Sirius is used to, and it is all fancy and whistle.

However, this time Sirius was missing to sort out for him. This complicated evening dress looked a little messy when worn on Harry, which was also the main reason why he was disliked by Hermione.

"Shut up! Hermione! You don't need to teach me how to wear clothes!"

Harry retorted furiously while twisting his crooked tie. It could be seen that the relationship between the two of them was very bad because of the "Hybrid Prince Textbook".

Hermione snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to Harry, but she did not leave directly. Instead, she watched Harry rushing to play with the tie that was not neatly done, intending to wait until Harry was helpless and begged her before taking action.

Although she is a girl, she is much better at knowing about tie than Harry. After all, she often helps her father tie her tie at home.

Unfortunately, Mike's appearance completely failed her plan.

"Let me do it, Harry."

Mike walked to the two of them and took over the job of helping Harry tidy up his tie.

Harry was startled by the sudden appearance of Mike, raised his head and exposed his neck, and stammered:

"Thank you...thank you!"

"You should learn how to play the tie after you go back." Mike said while breaking Harry's tie back and tied it up. "You should know that as a gentleman, wearing a tie is a compulsory course."

"Can you teach me?"

Harry said with a shiny look.

Upon hearing this, Mike raised his eyebrows and said:

"I'm afraid not, Harry, it's better for you to ask Sirius. I guess he will be very happy by then."

As soon as this said, Harry also had a look of joy on his face, and it was obvious that he had already understood what Mike meant.

After putting a tie for Mike, Mike looked at Hermione, who was still sulking, and he pretended to be careless:

"Why have you changed into evening dresses? I remember that the invitation letter did not indicate the clothing requirements."

Hermione was a little reluctant to speak, but Harry, who was standing beside him, rushed to say:

"This is Hermione and Ron's idea, and they think that only in this way can we show the importance we attach to the banquet."

"Is that right..." Mike's eyes were still scanning Hermione, "But we are still students. I think we only need a clean and tidy school uniform to deal with this kind of scene. I believe Slughorn also means this, otherwise he would not have made special clothing requirements on the invitation."

Upon hearing this, Hermione and Harry finally noticed the Ravenclaw uniform that Mike was wearing at this time. Hermione did not respond much, but Harry looked anxious.

"What should I do! Mike! Do I want to change into my uniform now? But my uniform has not been washed yet, isn't it good to wear dirty clothes to attend the banquet?"

"Uh, since that's the case, you'd better wear a dress." Mike perfunctorily looked at Hermione, "Where are you, Hermione, do you want to change your uniform?"

"No."

Hermione answered coldly, then walked into the Potion Classroom without thinking.

Seeing this, Mike frowned. He was indeed not easy to speak about this matter. If he opened his words directly, he would feel very embarrassed with Hermione's personality while Harry was still present, but the other party couldn't understand his hints. What should I do?

Mike couldn't think of any way for the time being. After struggling on the spot for a while, he could only decide to deal with it when the time comes.

Always, as a friend, I can't let Hermione be wronged for no reason.

Harry, who was standing beside him, also saw the entanglement on Mike's face, he patted Mike's shoulder and said:

"You don't have to take it seriously. Hermione has not had a good relationship with all of us recently because of the 'Half-Blood Prince'. I guess she must be under too much pressure to study. So I'm considering taking her to Hogsmeade Village to shop tomorrow. What do you think?"

"It's very good, she really needs to relax."

"Ha! Do you think so too? This is great!" Harry said with a gaze. "Fortunately, you are here. Mike Hermione ignores me now. Ron is not invited. If you don't show up again, I will have to face Slughorn and those people alone. That's a nightmare!"

...

After chatting with Harry for a while, Mike opened the door to the Potion Classroom with Harry.

As soon as the door opened, the aroma of various foods came to my face. Mike and Harry, who had been hungry for the afternoon, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"It seems that there will be no situation where we still need to bring our own food this time."

Mike joked with a smile, and Harry, who was beside him, was also amused by Mike's words.

At this time, the Potion Classroom had been completely renewed. All the crucibles, cabinets and even tables and chairs were gone. Instead, there was a huge table filled with various delicacies and a champagne tower next to it.

The soft warm-toned beam of magic lamp shines on the high champagne tower, making it shine.

Various beautiful murals were also engraved on the ceiling of the classroom. The murals seemed to be depicting a banquet, which should be an allusion, but Mike lacked knowledge in this area and could not appreciate this art. He could only think that the maid who poured wine on the murals looked good.

"Oh! Look who is here! Two great guys! Harry and Mike!"

Just as Mike and Harry were looking at the decor in the classroom, a familiar voice came from the side.

Mike and Harry turned to see that Slughorn was walking towards this side with a big belly with a look of joy.

His voice was very loud, and the people who were still talking to each other in the classroom suddenly cast their sights.

Because it was the first time to attend the official banquet of the Slug Club, many of them were wearing regular evening gowns like Harry Hermione. Of course, there were many people wearing college uniforms like Mike, but they all made some tricks on their uniforms.

For example, the Hufflepuff boy not far from Mike had a unique badger-shaped brooch on his chest. Judging from his quaint appearance and the magical aura emitted, this brooch should be a priceless antique!

It was the first time that Harry was attending such a "high-ranking" banquet (to greet the Duke of ZOOM) in such a "high-ranking" banquet. He hid behind Mike timidly, trying to avoid the hot gazes cast by the people around him.

The reflective Mike naturally became much more sensitive. He smiled and greeted Slughorn, and reached out to hold it with the other party.

"I'm glad you've come, Mike."

"It's my honor, professor."

Suddenly, Slughorn's eyes fell on McCross' uniform. His eyes lit up and said with some excitement:

"Wow, what a nice dress!"

Facing Slughorn's praise, Mike did not talk to him, but looked at each other with Slughorn and let go of his hand tacitly.

Mike must admit that Slughorn did have some vision. Although the Ravenclaw uniform he was wearing at this moment looked exactly like an ordinary uniform, it was actually made of "Los Sandu Magic Cloth" and "anti-demon fur". In terms of anti-demon ability, this uniform will definitely not be much worse than the combat uniform of the Los Sandu Wizards Group, but its cost is ten times that of that combat uniform!

On the other hand, after a little greeting with Mike, Slughorn came to Harry again.

He looked at Harry's fancy but obviously expensive dress with a weird expression.

"Well, this is such a great dress," Slughorn said hesitantly, "but for some reason, it always gives me a very familiar feeling. I seem to have seen others like wearing this kind of dress before."

Harry's expression was also a little awkward, and he didn't know how to reply to Slughorn.

Fortunately, Mike rescued the scene in time and said:

"I guess that person must be called Sirius Black, right? There is probably no one else in this world who likes such...well, such a fancy dress."

"Ba! You're not bad at all!" Slughorn snapped his fingers excitedly, "I remember it, it's Sirius. That handsome guy liked this outfit very much when he was a student. He was leading the trend in Hogwarts for a while, and he didn't stop everyone until Dumbledore stopped him."

After saying that, he looked at Mike happily and said:

"I have to say that what you described is so good. I really can't find a more fancy word that can describe this style of dressing than the word "girl", but I don't like it very much." He turned his head and said to Harry, "Oh! I'm not saying that you're wearing this outfit now, but... Uh, you know. I'm too old and I really can't understand this kind of young people's trend."

Harry nodded awkwardly, and saw this Slughorn raised his brow and asked hurriedly:

"By the way, Harry! How did you think of dressing like this? What's the relationship with Sirius?"

"Sirian he...he is my godfather."

The smile on Slughorn's face froze suddenly, and he stared at Harry blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Mike smiled slightly and decided to help Harry add a fire, so he said jokingly:

"Blake is simply raising Harry as his own son. I believe you can see this. Harry's dress is completely a copy of Black, which is simply a parent-child outfit. Sometimes when we get together, I will tease him and tell him that he should find a woman to start a family, but guess what Black said? He actually said that it is enough for him to have Harry. This kind of relationship is really touching!"

Harry was a little embarrassed by Mike's words. He scratched his head, blushed and lowered his head.

And Slughorn is different. He keenly learned such news from Mike's words - Sirius Black wants Harry to inherit the Black family!

This is simply news that can shock the magic world!

The wealth and power accumulated by the Porter family and the Black family will be concentrated on Harry alone in this generation, which will allow Harry to surpass the Malfoy family and become the richest and most noble wizard in the entire Ying country and even the European wizard society!

At this moment, Slughorn looked at Harry with almost wet eyes!
