Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 325 Farewell
On the edge of the black lake, a large group of people in black robes gathered densely. They watched the ghost ship in the lake that was constantly roaring.

It's been a week since that horrific night, but the memory of that night is forever etched in everyone's minds.

Because, on that night, they lost a rising Quidditch star.

Viktor Krum.

This big boy who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside left his friends and relatives forever.

Mike was also in the procession for Durmstrang and Krum.

He wasn't there when Krum was brought out, so he couldn't imagine Krum's parents' reaction at all.

But presumably, when Krum's broken body appeared in front of them, their hearts must be desperate.

This can be seen from Krum's father's hair that turned gray overnight.

"I'm sorry about Krum, Synac."

At the front of the crowd, Dumbledore said this to an old man with a scar on his face.

The old man named Sinac came from the Durmstrang School of Magic overnight after the incident, and was responsible for bringing all the students, including Krum's body, back to the school safely.

As for Karkaroff, the original teacher and principal who led the team, he disappeared immediately after the incident.

And his disappearance also made him carry a wanted warrant.

This is not surprising, the Ministry of Magic blamed all the incidents in the Triwizard Tournament on the Death Eaters, and Karkaroff, as a former Death Eater, disappeared immediately after the incident, so naturally became the prime suspect.

But only a few people, including Mike, knew that Karkaroff had nothing to do with this incident. The reason why he disappeared was entirely because he felt Voldemort's resurrection through the Death Eater mark on his arm. He hid out of fear.

However, Mike would naturally not speak out about it.

Even if he said it, Fudge would not believe it, because Fudge was going crazy these days.

In order to persuade Dumbledore to deny the fact that Voldemort had been resurrected, he ran to the principal's office almost every day, but failed every time.

He even approached Mike specifically, hoping that Mike, the person involved, would stand by his side, and promised to give Mike himself great prestige and more preferential policies for the Los Santos Magic Group.

However, these were rejected by Mike without hesitation.

In Mike's view, these benefits given by Fudge are just empty promises, because although Fudge looks good now, with the return of Voldemort, he is not far from stepping down.

Therefore, there is no need for Mike to be hypocritical.

In the face of Mike's rude refusal, Fudge was extremely angry. Mike believed that if they hadn't talked in the crowded Ravenclaw lounge, Fudge would have cursed.

That day, Fudge left Hogwarts with a gloomy face, and has never been back since.

And in the following days, he continued to use his power to attack Dumbledore and Mike.

Of course, this is all for later.

On the shore of the Black Lake at this moment, the old man named Sinac didn't say anything to Dumbledore's apology, but just nodded expressionlessly, and then walked towards the ghost ship.

When passing through the Hogwarts crowd who came to see him off, he gave Harry a slightly meaningful look, which made Harry very uncomfortable.

Due to Rita Skeeter's previous reports of his complicated relationship with Hermione and Krum, many people believed that Krum died in the maze solely because of Harry's attempt to retake Hermione. Moved with love.

Although Dumbledore and many professors had already issued a statement to refute the rumors, the students represented by Malfoy who were at odds with Harry were obviously more willing to believe the previous version of the story.

These people kept spreading the news to others, which made more and more people in the school look at Harry strangely, and even some tabloids outside the school began to report this matter.

Fortunately, Krum's parents are not unreasonable people.

They ignored the rumors from the outside world and silently accepted that their son's death was the result of an accident.

They even went to comfort Harry when the rumors intensified, which moved Harry very much.

As another protagonist in this rumored incident, Hermione was not so lucky.

She was originally not very popular, and after this incident, she was resisted by all Hogwarts students. Now, no one wants to approach her at all, and the three meters around her have become a vacuum.Everyone regards her as a beauty and a source of disaster.

Naturally, Hermione herself was extremely painful about this. Although she was used to being alone, the cold violence that was ignored by almost everyone still made her uncomfortable.

In contrast, Ron was much happier.

Since Hermione became Krum's dance partner on Christmas, he has changed from Krum's number one fan to the most vicious black fan. Krum's death and Hermione's encounter made him drink and cheer, and now Every day he would show off and kiss his Indian girlfriend in front of Hermione.

Hermione hated Ron's behavior deeply, and tried to avoid Ron every time, but unfortunately, Ron was like a hunting dog, always able to find Hermione's traces, and staged the scene again in front of her. Disgusting scene.

Shaking his head and getting rid of the random thoughts in his mind, Mike sighed deeply as he watched the ghost ship gradually disappearing on the lake.

In fact, Krum was quite responsible for his death. If he could have taken some protective measures at that time, or stayed in place for a while, Krum might not have died.

But there was nothing he could do. The situation at the time did not allow him to do more for Krum.

"Don't be too sad, Krum's death was just an accident."

Penello's gentle voice came from beside him, Mike turned his head to look, and saw Penello looking at him with distressed expression.

Mike didn't reply, just nodded and smiled back.

Mike's smile was a bit forced, which made Penello even more worried, because Mike had been so sullen and serious all week.

The Weasley brothers on the side looked at each other, their eyes rolled around for a while, and then they had an idea.

I saw that they dragged Harry, who was somewhat inexplicable, to Mike's side, and said with a playful smile:

"Hey, Mike! We're going to see Hagrid later, how about you come with us?"

"That's right! Mike! Harry wants to go with you. Right Harry?"

"what?"

Hearing that Harry opened his mouth wide, his face was full of doubts, but seeing the Weasley brothers winking at him frantically, he immediately reacted and said:

"That's right, Mike! Come with us, it's already spring, and you'll get sick if you stay in the castle!"

"I……"

Mike just wanted to refuse. He still has a lot of preparations to do in the face of Voldemort's resurrection.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the Weasley brothers supported him from left to right, and while dragging him towards the Forbidden Forest, he said:
"Come on, come on, what you need now is to relax!"

Knowing that they had good intentions, although Mike could break away from the dragging of the two with his current physical fitness, he did not do so.

Mike just smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll just go, let me go."

The Weasley brothers smiled at each other and let go of Mike.

So, the four of them rushed to Hagrid's hut. As for Penello, she returned to the dormitory to rest because she came to relatives.

It can be said that Hagrid was very unlucky during this period. On the night of the Triwizard Tournament, Barty Jr. sneaked into Hagrid's cabin and knocked him down while Hagrid was changing his clothes.

Because of Hagrid's large size and giant blood, Barty Jr. made a death move.

According to the description of the students who found Hagrid, Hagrid's blood was all over the place, and the floor of the whole hut was covered with semi-coagulated plasma. They almost thought that Hagrid was dead, because no one in their conception To survive after shedding so much blood.

Fortunately, Barty Jr. still underestimated Hagrid's stature, and the people sent by Professor McGonagall found Hagrid immediately and brought him back to the infirmary, otherwise the half-giant might really die on the spot up.

Today was the day Hagrid was discharged from the hospital, so Harry and the others decided to take a good look at him.

But when everyone came to Hagrid's cabin, they saw an astonishing scene.

I saw Hagrid, who was still wrapped in a lot of bandages, lying on the bed like a mummy, and beside the bed, Ms. Maxim in a silk black dress was holding a large bowl and pouring a spoon into Hagrid's mouth. What are you feeding.

The Weasley brothers were stunned to see this, and they stuffed their right hands into their mouths, as if trying to gag them so that they wouldn't laugh out loud.

Ms. Maxim was also taken aback when she saw Mike and the others coming suddenly. With a soft sound, the wooden spoon slipped from her hand, and a blush flew onto her cheeks.

"I... I just came to see him." Maxim hurriedly stood up, wiping his gorgeous silk skirt with both hands, "Don't get me wrong!"

After saying that, he left the hut as if fleeing.

"We will not misunderstand! Madame Maxime!"

The Weasley brothers said in unison, but where she couldn't see them, they were giving Hagrid a thumbs up in a weird way.

Due to the large number of bandages on his face, Mike couldn't see the expression on Hagrid's face clearly, but judging from the weird laughter coming from his mouth from time to time, he should be in a pretty good mood at the moment.

"Seriously, don't talk nonsense when you go back." After laughing for a while, the muffled voice came from Hagrid's mouth again, "Otherwise Olim will be very troubled."

"Oh! Don't you know us yet? Don't worry, Hagrid."

"That's right! But having said that, have you already started referring to Ms. Maxim as Olim? You really have your Hagrid!"

Hearing this, Hagrid immediately stopped talking, and muttered something like 'I'm worried because of you'.

Of course, the whisper here was just what Hagrid thought it was, but in fact, with Hagrid's loud voice, everyone in the cabin could hear him clearly.

For a while, everyone in the hut burst into laughter.

After a while, Hermione also came, so the two Weasley brothers told Hermione what happened just now.

This shocked Hermione, but also made Hagrid very annoyed. He had just warned the Weasley brothers to keep it a secret, but they only agreed, and then told Hermione.

"Where's Ron?" After laughing for a while, Hagrid looked around the people in the hut and asked a little strangely, "Why didn't this kid come?"

"Oh! He must be still gnawing on Padma's face!" Hermione said retching, "It's disgusting!"

"Oh! This is really...excessive."

Hagrid said a little disappointed, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Ron always being too intimate with his girlfriend in front of Hermione or saying that it was too much not to visit him.

And his speech made the Weasley brothers very embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Hagrid, Hermione. We'll talk to him when we get back." George scratched his head in embarrassment, and then Fred continued with a fierce face, "Yes, have a good talk! "

Hermione nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She was disgusted by Ron during this time, and Harry on the side showed a worried look.

Several people chatted for a while before Mike found an excuse and walked out of Hagrid's hut.

After leaving the hut, Mike didn't go back directly to the castle. He had stretched himself too tightly during this time, and he really needed to relax.

So Mike took a walk on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Due to the arrival of spring, a thick layer of grass carpet was re-laid here, which was very comfortable to step on.

And Mike hadn't gone far when he saw two silver-haired girls, one big and one small, playing with a unicorn shining with holy brilliance on the edge of a small lake not far away.

This dream-like perfect scene made Mike stunned.

Mike felt like he could stand here and watch all day if he could.

It's a pity that the unicorn's perception is very sharp, and it didn't take long before it found Mike who was peeping from the side, and pointed its unicorn at him vigilantly.

Now the two Furong sisters also found Mike, but their reactions were different from Mike's. Furong's younger sister, Gabriel, rushed towards Mike with a cheer, and finally threw herself into Mike's arms.

"Big brother, are you here to see us off?"

This made Mike frowned, and he asked a little strangely:

"Huh? Are you leaving?"

"That's right, we're leaving tonight." Fu Rong smiled and walked over here, "I wanted to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Mike was stunned for a moment, and Gabriel in his arms was also very witty, and broke free from Mike's arms at once, leaving the two-person world to Mike and Fleur, while she ran towards the unicorn again.

It's a pity that unicorns only get close to pure and beautiful virgins. Gabriel just hugged Mike, a stinky man, and brought some 'stink' of Mike on her body, which made unicorns no longer want to continue playing with her. , turned around and ran into the Forbidden Forest.

"I want to thank you, Mike. I had a great time at Hogwarts, although I didn't get any results in the Triwizard Cup."

Hearing that Mike lowered his head slightly, he didn't know how to reply.

Furong's performance in the Tri-Strong Cup this time was indeed not good. In the last game, she was forced to use the distress signal by a snail shortly after entering.

Seeing Mike like this, Furong smiled lightly and said:
"Don't feel bad for me, I'm doing badly, but at least I survived. That's enough, I was terrified when Krum was sent out."

Mike nodded. What Fu Rong said was right. For people, only by being alive can there be hope and a future.

He just wanted to say something to comfort Fu Rong, but before he could speak, a faint fragrance flew into his arms.

"I'm leaving, good luck."

As the girl said, her voice was still trembling.

Mike also had a smile on his face, patted the girl on the back, and blessed:
"Well, good luck to you too!"
