Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Mike and Harry talked and laughed for a while, until Harry completely relaxed, and then Mike stopped joking.

He straightened his body and said to Harry:

"Then when are you going to leave? When you leave..."

"Then you still need to ask?" Harry stood up suddenly and said, "Of course now! Let's go now!"

"Ah? Well...it's not impossible. It's just your textbooks and stuff..."

Mike's words were interrupted again, and Harry made a 'wait' gesture, and then with lightning speed, he took out a large number of textbooks and Potions equipment from his seamless stretch pocket.

"I have actually prepared the textbooks and other things. You know, I have been thinking about going to Hogwarts to study again from the beginning."

Seeing Harry's determined look, Mike had nothing to say. He nodded, stood up, took out his wand and said:

"In that case, let's set off now."

"Wait a minute!" Harry raised his hand to stop him again, "Professor Snape also wants to return to Hogwarts to continue teaching the Potions class, why not take him back with you?"

Hearing this, Mike was startled again, and instinctively turned his head to look at the stairs, where he saw Snape and Ms. Kate hiding at the stairs and peeking at them secretly.

Snape's expression was a little unhappy, which was obviously caused by the silent barrier.

Mike sighed, lifted the silent barrier and waved the two of them over.

After the two of them walked in, Mike continued to say to Snape:

"I heard from Harry that you want to go back to Hogwarts to teach?"

"Ha! I hope I can help in more places in the past. I didn't say I had to go to Hogwarts!"

Snape crossed his arms and said disdainfully, and upon seeing this, Mike grinned and said:

"So that's the case, then I won't bother you. Anyway, Professor Slughorn once told me that he can teach for a few more years."

"you……"

Snape was anxious, and at the same time, the smile on Mike's face became brighter.

He didn't know why, but he now liked to see Snape looking so angry but unable to do anything about him.

After letting Snape stand for a while, Mike said:

"It's your freedom where you want to go. Anyway, your surveillance period should be over now. But if you want to go to Hogwarts, I have to let you know one thing, that is, you are not irreplaceable.

Yes, and this matter is not something you and I can decide. Whether to hire you or not depends on Professor Flitwick’s wishes. So, are you still willing to go now?"

Mike's words made Snape a little angry, and his face turned green and red from time to time, which was very ugly.

If Snape's original character was to be followed, he would definitely refuse this matter, but looking at Harry's expectant eyes, he finally nodded like a ghost.

"Okay, since you agreed, then of course I can take you there."

Mike clapped his hands and turned his gaze to Harry. There were some things he wanted to say just now, but unfortunately he kept being interrupted.

But before he could speak, another voice came to mind from the side.

"That...Mr. Mike Townley..."

This time it was Ms. Kate who interrupted him. Mike still respected this maid. Hearing this, he sighed and suppressed the anger of being interrupted one after another and said:

"Oh! That's right! I almost forgot about you. I'm so sorry. Ms. Kate. When Snape returns to Hogwarts, your current work will be over. You can choose to rest for a while and wait for our notice.

.Please don’t worry about unemployment, we will arrange a better job for you.”

When Mike spoke the last paragraph, he deliberately emphasized his tone and cast his gaze at Snape who was standing aside.

This made Snape's breathing become even more rapid.

"Um...Mr. Mike Townley, in fact, I have my own views on my job." Ms. Kate rubbed her hands and said, "I mean, can I also go to Hogwarts to work?"

As soon as this statement came out, the other three people present all showed black question mark faces.

Upon seeing this, Ms. Kate hurriedly explained:

"Of course I know that the house elves are responsible for most of the chores at Hogwarts, and I can't afford other more difficult jobs as a Squib. But isn't there also a Squib employee in Hogwarts?

? So I thought..."

"So you want to compete with Filch for a job?"

Harry asked. This made Ms. Kate startled. You shook your head quickly and said:

"No, no, no! Of course I didn't think so..."

"No! You can think so!" Harry said excitedly, holding Kate's hand, "We have had enough of Filch a long time ago. I dare say that if you can really replace Filch, the entire Hogwarts will be moved.

Such cheers!”

"Yes...really?"

Ms. Kate said somewhat unconfidently, while her eyes kept glancing at Mike.

She knew very well that the only person who could make the decision on this matter was Mike.

Mike was naturally aware of Kate's little thoughts, but now he was not interested in teasing the two of them anymore, so he snapped his fingers and said:

"Okay, I can take you there with me, but it's still the same. You have to see Professor Flitwick before you can be admitted."

"thanks, thanks!"

Ms. Kate kept bowing and thanking her, but Mike did not look at her. Instead, he turned his head to Harry and said:

"Harry, there is one more thing I want to tell you before going to Hogwarts, Harry. That is about your Death Cloak. I have decided..."

"No need to say anything!" Harry interrupted with a wave of his hand, "I know what you mean, Mike. Just put the Death Cloak here for now. I don't have any objection!"

"Damn it! Can't you all let me finish my words one by one?"

Mike finally broke out, which made the three people present feel frightened, even Snape.

Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Mike nodded, slowed down his speaking speed and emphasized:

"Harry, I want to say that you should keep the Death Cloak for the time being. After all, it is a relic left by your father. But you must also ensure that if we need it, you must take out the Death Cloak as soon as possible.

"

When Harry heard this, he had a 'that's it' expression, stared at Mike for a while, and then said:

"Actually...actually, I'd be at ease with you..."

"Okay! It's decided! Let's go!"

Mike directly stuffed the Death Cloak into Harry's arms, then with a wave of his wand, he pulled Harry and they turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

By the time everyone regained their feet, they were already in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Harry originally wanted to complain about Mike, but now that he had arrived at Hogwarts, which he had not seen for a long time, he stopped complaining and began to look at everything familiar around him.

Ms. Kate is also doing similar things to Harry, but the only difference between the two is that Ms. Kate really comes to Hogwarts for the first time.

After all, Squibs are not eligible for admission.

Just when the two of them looked like they were visiting the scenic spot, a familiar cat meow came over.

Everyone looked back and saw that Mrs. Lorris had appeared in the auditorium at some point and was rubbing Mike's ankle.

And right behind him was Filch, holding a lantern and panting.

He was startled when he suddenly discovered that there were four more people in the auditorium, but when he saw that the leader was Mike, his face suddenly showed joy.

"Mr. Townley! I'm so honored that you are here!"

Filch's originally not very straight waist suddenly became more curved. He took small steps and leaned forward, saying this in an almost humble and flattering manner.

Seeing this, Snape sneered disdainfully, but Filch didn't take it seriously.

You must know that Mike is the benefactor who really improved their status as squibs!

Filch felt that no matter how respectful he was, he should be respectful to this kind of person.

Mike didn’t think there was anything wrong and said directly:

"Take us to the principal's office. I have something to talk to Professor Flitwick about."

Filch nodded humbly, turned around and began to lead the way for Mike.

His mouth was not idle along the way, and he kept complimenting Mike on his great achievements.

This made Snape even more disdainful.

Perhaps out of mischief, Snape retaliated by revealing that Ms. Kate was here to steal Filch's job.

As expected, Filch was furious.

Unfortunately, due to the presence of Mike, Filch finally suppressed his anger and maintained the most basic courtesy.

In a short time, Filch led everyone to the door of an office.

But this is not the principal's office located on the eighth floor, but the ordinary office originally used by Flitwick.

Filch didn't explain much, and Mike, who knew the reason, didn't ask, just opened the door and walked in.

Although it is late at night, the office is still brightly lit.

The petite Professor Flitwick was working on a special high stool. The number of documents around him almost engulfed him.

"Oh! Professor Flitwick! You haven't rested yet?" Mike said, pretending to be surprised and worried, "This is not good! You must take good care of your body! I want to spend more time with you.

Year!"

Hearing this, Professor Flitwick raised his head expressionlessly, glanced around everyone, and finally stopped on Mike, and said angrily:

"Really? Why do I think you are hoping that my life will be short? Otherwise you wouldn't have given me such a grueling job as the Headmaster of Hogwarts!"

"Wow! Why do you think so? This is an injustice to me! You will always be my professor, how could I treat you like this! You know when I was at Hogwarts."

"Stop saying these useless things! It's true that you can find me a new principal as soon as possible! Also, have you chosen the professor I want? Once you've chosen, please bring him back as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! It's already happening!"

As Mike spoke, he walked around behind Professor Flitwick and began to massage Professor Flitwick.

Although Professor Flitwick was still merciless, looking at his expression of enjoyment, you could tell that he was actually quite useful.

The two chatted for a while, and it was not until Mike had completely coaxed Professor Flitwick that Professor Flitwick looked at Snape and the others again and said:

"So, why did you bring them here this time?"

Mike did not stop what he was doing, and while pressing Professor Flitwick's shoulder, he leaned down and told Professor Flitwick what had happened.

During this period, Professor Flitwick's eyes had been roaming back and forth between Snape and the three of them, which made both Harry and Ms. Kate smile ingratiatingly, and even Snape started to panic a little.

Fortunately, the result was good. After listening to Mike's story, Professor Flitwick only thought for a while and then raised his eyebrows and said:

"I can agree to your request, but I have to be happy first! I have to make an agreement with you! Snape! I can let you become the Potions Professor again, or I can let you manage Slytherin again. But you have to promise

Be fair and just, no more blood discrimination. If I find any clues, I'm sorry, I will send you to Azkaban!

And Harry! I don’t care what you do outside, and I don’t care. But your behavior of skipping school is extremely bad! So I am honored to tell you that you have been fined 1,000 hours of voluntary labor! This punishment

It will not end when you graduate, which means that even if you graduate, you must still work voluntarily at the school! If you choose not to come, the remaining labor time will be doubled and placed on your descendants!"

Professor Flitwick's words made both Harry and Snape change their expressions. After all, the punishment was quite severe.

Fortunately, Mike had already vaccinated them before they came, so they both nodded after struggling for a while.

Seeing this, Professor Flitwick put on a smile and looked at Ms. Kate and said:

"Madam, I'm so happy that you are willing to come and work at Hogwarts. As you can see, I am an elf half-blood, so please rest assured that there is absolutely no blood discrimination at Hogwarts.

But we still can't satisfy your wish to replace Filch. After all, Filch has served Hogwarts for so many years and has not made any irreparable mistakes during this period, so... I finally decided to let you

Become the administrator of the girls’ dormitory!”

"Oh! Is this... is this true? Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Ms. Kate was so excited that she could hardly control herself. Halfway through Professor Flitwick's words, she almost thought that she had no chance. Fortunately, in the end, Lady Luck was still on her side.

At this moment, she was obviously so happy that she didn't care what kind of job she got, as long as she could stay at Hogwarts.

But Snape was not as naive as she was. He instinctively sensed something amiss from Professor Flitwick's words. He frowned and said:

"Housekeeper? I've never heard of a housekeeper in Hogwarts."

As soon as these words came out, Ms. Kate, who had been happy and happy just now, instantly changed her expression and stared at Snape with a vicious look.

Snape also knew that the other party had misunderstood him, but he didn't bother to explain. He just stared at Flitwick, looking forward to an answer.

"Well, according to the dormitory rules of Hogwarts, girls can enter and exit the boys' dormitory at will. I think you should know this, right?" Professor Flitwick asked awkwardly, and continued when everyone nodded,

"Here's the problem. Girls going to boys' dormitories have happened too frequently recently! And most of them happen at night! So... in order to protect the girls from harm, but also to protect

Boys, I think it’s time for me to find a female hostel to curb this phenomenon.”

After saying this, Professor Flitwick couldn't help but blush.

As a half-elf, he has had low self-esteem since he was a child, so he has never done anything like that and is very shy when facing such things.

When Mike, Harry and others heard this, they looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
