Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

That day, Mike and Professor Flitwick stayed directly at Foley Manor, because their tea party went on until the evening.

Despite the length of time and most of the conversation being old, Mike, who has an adult soul, still listens with relish.

Because the people present are not ordinary people, Professor Flitwick will not talk about it. Uncle Mario is the patriarch of the Foley family. Mike can be said to have benefited a lot from their conversation.

After this day's tea party, Mike also learned more about the Foley family.

Abbott's mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to his sister Ellen, and Uncle Mario did not remarry after that, which is why his sister Ellen has been very self-blaming.

But in the entire Foley family, Ellen is the most favored, because she is not only the little princess of the Foley family, but also looks like Abbott's mother.

When Mike asked about the appearance of this Princess Ellen, Abbott and Uncle Mario all complimented and praised Ellen to the sky. And Uncle Mario also directly stated that he would introduce Ellen to Mike after she came back. If Mike had the ability to catch up with Ellen, he would also be Mike's father-in-law.

Mike is naturally joking about this, but his heart is like a mirror.

There's a good chance Uncle Mario is serious.

The Foley family had been married in a small circle for many years in order to keep their bloodline pure, which caused their fertility to drop sharply. Now there are only three people left in the entire Foley family, so they urgently need fresh blood from outside.

And the general Muggle-born wizards and they don't look down on them, but Mike, a little guy who has recently become famous, is very suitable to be recruited as a son-in-law.

At that time, their Foley family not only prostituted a top wizard for free, but also improved their genes, killing two birds with one stone.

To this, Mike just wanted to say, sugar-coated cannonballs, Lao Tzu sugar-coated the cannonballs and shot them back, and wanted Lao Tzu to be his son-in-law? That is impossible!

The next morning, Mike woke up in a guest room east of Foley Manor.

Since Mike is used to sleeping on his side, when he opened his eyes, he saw a small house-elf wearing a black and white beret carefully placing a tray with hot milk and toast beside the bed on the bedside table.

Mike's sudden awakening seemed to startle the little guy, and he got under the bed with a scream.

Mike, who had just woken up and was still not very awake, looked at Beta's operation with a bewildered expression. After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "Uh, Beta, right!"

"Yes Master!"

A shrill voice came from under Mike's bed, and then a huge head appeared a little bit from the bedside.

"what time is it now?"

"Seven thirty-eight master!"

"Why did you bring me breakfast, the house-elf at Foley Manor?"

As soon as this remark came out, Beta became excited, and she suddenly stood up straight, looking at Mike like a puppy who had just returned from picking up the ball, eager for its owner to praise it, and said, "Those house-elves are all hands and feet, I If you can't worry about it, you will steal their lives!"

Seeing Beta's tongue sticking out, Mike, who has lived with Lolo for a long time, naturally understood what it meant. He reached out and touched Beta's smooth forehead lightly and praised: "It's not bad, Thank you."

Mike's action was like triggering some kind of mechanism, and I saw that Beta's big eyes filled with tears immediately, and then he frantically pulled his ears while shouting, 'The master has praised me! ' He ran out of Mike's room, leaving Mike with a confused look again.

But after 5 minutes, Mike's door was opened again.

Pushing the door in was Shuke, who was holding a hot towel in his hand for washing, while Beta followed behind his brother dejectedly, obviously he had just been educated not lightly.

"Master, please wash." Beta controlled the water basin solemnly and floated in front of Mike, and then said, "Please forgive Beta, he is really too skinny, I have taught him a lesson before."

"No, no, Shuke is good, in fact, you don't have to be too cautious." Mike said while washing, "You all know that I am a Muggle, so I am not used to doing those messes. In the future, we will We are a family, we support each other and help each other.”

To be honest, Mike's words to buy people's hearts are extremely perfunctory, especially since he is still washing up while saying these words, so it seems even more insincere.

If this is changed to anyone with IQ and EQ online, it can be seen that Mike is talking politely, but it is such a very insincere politeness, but it makes Beta move to tears again, because his brother Beta is in talent It didn't happen like last time.

Even the unsmiling Shuke had red eyes and was obviously very moved.

And Mike started to enjoy breakfast after washing up, eating and eating him as if he suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said to Shukebeta who was on the side: "By the way, you should all change your face, right? "

"Of course, Master."

"Then can you bring people to change their shape?"

"I'm sorry master, because Beta usually neglects to exercise, so for the time being, only I can take people, and with my current magic, I can only take one person at a time."

Beta, who was on the side, lowered his head in frustration. For house elves, not being able to share the master's worries is the biggest shame.

Mike waved his hand to signal that he didn't care and started to think.

Both house-elves and goblins can use magic, but their magic system is completely different from that of wizards, and therefore, they do not need a wand to cast spells.

This does not mean that they cannot use magic wands. In fact, magic wands are like a powerful magic amplifier. The goblins have always been eager to have the technology to make magic wands, and wizards rely on magic wands to defeat many magical creatures, and have since turned into serfs. singing. Therefore, wizards never allow other creatures to use wands. For this reason, there have been several wars between goblins and wizards. Of course, the result is naturally that the wizards with the blessing of wands came back victorious.

All wands are now crafted with a prohibition added to ensure that other creatures cannot use the wand.

On the other hand, because the magic system of house-elves is different from that of wizards, so their transformations are also different. Their Metamorphosis can even be used in Hogwarts, ignoring the space restrictions of Hogwarts, the reason is that the space restrictions of Hogwarts are aimed at humans, but have no protection against magical creatures.

This is good news for Mike, because it means that his mobility in Hogwarts will be greatly enhanced in the future. If he wants to go outside the school during school, he doesn't need to report anymore. Let Shuke take him to change. Shadow shift will do.

After breakfast, Mike waved Shuke and Beta back, and after saying goodbye to Uncle Mario, he returned to Godric's Valley with Professor Flitwick.

And Flitwick and Mike didn't stay too long after being teleported to Flitwick's house through the fireplace, and went straight out to find Mike's new home.

Professor Flitwick was very familiar with the entire Godric's Hollow, and took Mike directly to No. 518 Godric's Hollow.

What appeared in front of Mike was a somewhat dilapidated villa. From the outside, this villa was much larger than Professor Flitwick's home. It was a two-and-a-half-story standard English-style villa with an attic.

The part near the road outside the villa is surrounded by wooden fences. Due to the disrepair of these fences, a lot of white paint has fallen off, and they look mottled.

The garden inside the fence was also overgrown with weeds because it was unmaintained for a long time. Mike even saw a lot of goblins playing happily in the grass.

Mike and Professor Flitwick glanced at each other and walked towards the villa, but Professor Flitwick was unmoved.

"Mike, this villa has protection spells. Anyone who steps into this villa without the owner's permission will be attacked, so you have to allow me to enter the villa first."

Flitwick looked at Mike helplessly, but at this moment Mike patted his head suddenly, opened the door of the villa and bowed to Flitwick with a gesture of inviting in as the head guard of the hotel made.

He didn't mention that Mike would have forgotten about it. This villa, which was originally used as a safe house, was very well protected. Even a top wizard like Professor Flitwick would encounter a considerable Trouble.

And it also has a Muggle Repelling Charm attached, and Muggles without magic can't see this villa. In their eyes, it's just a wasteland. Even, they can't even see the wasteland, the existence of this villa is completely 0 in their eyes.

After stepping into the villa with Professor Flitwick, Mike realized that the situation inside the villa was not bad compared to the bad look outside.

The ground on the first floor of the villa is paved with marble with intricate patterns. Since no one has taken care of it for a long time, there is a thick layer of dust on it. But when Mike swept away a large piece of dust, he miraculously found that the marble floor here did not have the slightest trace of splicing, as if it was paved with a whole marble slab.

The floors on the second floor are dark wooden floors. Compared to the marble floors on the first floor, their condition is a bit more worrying. Many places are damaged. Mike has decided to replace them later.

The furniture in the villa is well stocked and in good condition as the previous user covered them with a dust-proof white cloth before leaving.

All in all, this is a very good villa, of course, it also has its shortcomings.

First of all, although this villa looks much larger than Flitwick's home, since there is no traceless stretching spell attached to it, the actual area is much smaller than that of Flitwick's home.

Secondly, since this villa was used as a safe house before, the fireplace in the villa is just a very ordinary fireplace, and it is not connected to the Ministry of Magic's Floo (a magical transport network that links each fireplace), so it cannot be used. Fireplace teleports.

Of course, these are all minor issues.

At present, only Mike and two house-elves live in this villa, so there is enough space.

The problem of Floo is more troublesome, because Floo needs to be reported to the Ministry of Magic, and the British Ministry of Magic is notorious for ink, and it may take ten days and a half months for ordinary people to do it.

However, Professor Flitwick has already helped him consider this, so he has already asked the students in the Ministry of Magic who specialize in Floo, and the installer will come here tomorrow to install the Floo at the latest.

After rejecting Professor Flitwick's request to stay and clean together and send him away, Mike stood in the living room on the first floor of the villa and snapped his fingers:

"Shook, Beta."

As soon as Mike's voice fell, Shuke and Beta appeared in front of him out of thin air, and they all bowed to say hello to him.

"Okay, this is our home from now on." Mike looked around and said to them, "How can the new home be so dirty! Then let's start cleaning!"

The word "our home" obviously stimulated the fragile nerves of Shuke and Beta, and they raised their hands and shouted loudly and started cleaning.

Their cleaning methods are very special, and they basically don't need to do it themselves. Generally, they rely on magic to complete tasks such as cleaning the floor, except for the kind of particularly valuable things that they need to wipe carefully by themselves.

I saw them shuttling in the villa like a phantom, and with the waving of their arms, a gust of wind blew in the villa.

The gust of wind blew up all the dust on the floor and furniture, and flew out along the open door, not knowing where to go.

They were more careful when dealing with the weeds and goblins in the garden. They threw their hands towards the garden, and then large swaths of black powder appeared out of nowhere and flew towards the weeds.

As soon as it came into contact with those black powders, the originally lush weeds withered rapidly, and finally were uprooted and piled aside.

Perhaps those goblins had not seen anyone for a long time, and they all burrowed out from the ground to check the situation outside after discovering the abnormality in the garden.

Taking this opportunity, Shuke squeezed dozens of goblins to death with a light grasp of his little hand, while the rest of the goblins all fled back to the ground.

Seeing this, Shuke didn't chase after them any more. The tunnels of these goblins are very complicated. If you want to completely eradicate them, you must go to Diagon Alley to buy potions specially used to kill goblins, so he is not in a hurry at this moment.

Seeing their hot look, Mike also rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help out.

But just as he showed his intention to help, Shuke and Beta all started banging their heads against the wall, like if you said we wanted to work, we would commit suicide together.

Seeing this, Mike had to take back his wand. Seeing that he couldn't help here, he threw a traceless stretch spell bag containing 100 gold Galleons to Shuke as a fund for purchasing daily necessities, and then left the villa and went to to Professor Flitwick's house.

And when Mike came back after dinner in the evening, he saw that the original messy villa had changed a lot.
