Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 240: Arena of Fright

Human beings are always forgetful. Most of the time, no matter how great the hatred is, it will become dim under the erosion of time. In contrast, Glory seems to be less tolerant of time.

People's enthusiasm for Mike and his cram school quickly cooled down, just like those Internet celebrities and Internet celebrity foods that appeared in the era of Internet information explosion in the previous life, they were as brilliant and short-lived as shooting stars.

Ever since, on the day of the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, Mike found that there were a lot fewer people who had made an appointment to watch the match together.

Mike doesn't blame them.

Not everyone likes Quidditch that much, especially it is still raining heavily today. Sitting in an uncovered stadium in this weather and watching a Quidditch match that does not know how long it will take will undoubtedly take a lot of effort. courage.

Mike is not worried about getting wet in the rain, they are not Muggles, and there are many solutions to this problem.

For example, waterproof and moisture-proof and heat preservation spells.

Senior students don’t need to worry about Mike, basically everyone knows this basic spell, even if they don’t know the people around them, they won’t refuse to help you cast one.

And the little wizards in the lower grades are not so good.

Especially little Muggle-born wizards.

Seeing the little wizards around him shivering in the heavy rain, Mike chuckled and led a group of senior students one by one to apply waterproof and moisture-proof and heat-preserving spells on them. Slowly returned to his seat.

Mike only helped Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students, Gryffindor and Slytherin didn't need his help at all.

Professor McGonagall, who came to supervise the battle, had arranged a transparent shield over the Gryffindor seats early to help his students block the heavy rain.

And Slytherin.

All of them are at least mixed blood, and the magic spell of life such as waterproof and moisture-proof is simply easy to come by.

What do you think if someone inside doesn't know how to do it?

That is his own stupidity, Slytherin never welcomes idiots, this kind of people deserve to be frozen to death!

Compared with the audience like Mike, players like Harry and Cedric are very pitiful. Due to the Quidditch rules, they cannot carry wands during the game, nor can they use any potions and spells.

So they could only brave the heavy rain and run to the center of the venue to salute each other.

The heavy rain soon soaked all their clothes, and the venue was heavily flooded due to the poor drainage system. Mike bet that their boots must be full of water now.

Hogwarts in November is already very cold. In this environment, their wet clothes will continue to absorb their heat until they freeze to death.

This is a competition of willpower. It is wishful thinking to quickly catch the Golden Snitch in this weather. Mike estimates that this competition will last at least half an hour.

After the referee's order, the two teams of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff rose into the air, stirring up a large cloud of muddy water on the ground.

As the game started, there were warm cheers from the audience.

Those who came were all Quidditch fans, and the little rain in the sky could not dampen their enthusiasm.

The members of the Quidditch school team are undoubtedly true warriors, even though it is still raining heavily,

Even though the strong wind in the sky made them crumbling, they gritted their teeth and kept throwing Bludgers towards the opponent's goal against the strong wind.

Such a scene is undoubtedly tragic, and the audience was also infected by the warriors in mid-air, and began to give up the college battle.

As long as a player throws the ball into the frame, they will give their warmest applause and cheers regardless of whether the scorer is from their own academy or not.

As a result, the players in mid-air became even more excited, and in this state of mind, the pouring rain and strong wind became nothing worth mentioning.

Harry was naturally inspired too.

It's a pity that it's really difficult to find the tiny, super-moving golden snitch in this weather. No matter how hard Harry tried, he couldn't find that touch of gold.

But what Harry didn't know was that in a hidden corner of the auditorium, a big black dog with mottled hair was watching him.

The big black dog looked very seriously, its huge head kept moving with Harry's movements, and even Mike didn't notice that he was watching him.

As the game progressed, Harry's situation became worse and worse. From the audience's perspective, Mike could clearly see that Harry became more shaky in the wind and rain.

The big black dog was also obviously very disturbed, its two front paws kept scratching the wooden seat beneath it, but its eyes still refused to move away from Harry.

Gryffindor captain Wood obviously noticed this too, so he called a timeout.

At the whistle of Mrs. Hooch, the players of the two teams returned to their respective rest areas.

Mike could see clearly that Hermione had cast a Waterproof and Moisture Charm on Harry's glasses.

Strictly speaking, such behavior is foul.

But the Gryffindor players didn't have any reason to report their own Seekers. As for Cedric, even though his personality changed drastically, he still maintained his kind nature. Even if he knew about such trivial matters, he wouldn't care .

But Mike saw the problem from this matter, Hermione's problem.

She seems to attach great importance to rules, but in fact, when the rules violate the vital interests of her and the people around her, she can make the rules seem like nothing.

Many people think that Hermione and McGonagall are very similar when they read the original work, and even think that McGonagall is the middle-aged version of Hermione.

But in fact, Hermione is still far away. You must know that McGonagall is a truly upright person.

It is also for this reason that many people in the European and American entertainment circles in previous lives did not like the role of Hermione.

After all, not everyone only looks at the face.

The glasses were cast with a waterproof and moisture-proof spell, and Harry, who could see clearly, returned to the game.

This time his performance was much better than last time, and the big black dog in the stands couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And as time went on, the enthusiasm of the audience was also being consumed rapidly, and many people had already started to leave.

At this moment, a touch of gold appeared behind Harry, but Harry didn't notice it at all.

Everyone in the auditorium could see clearly, and many of them clenched their fists nervously.

Finally, under Captain Wood's reminder, Harry finally found the Snitch behind him, but when he turned around and stretched out his hand towards the Snitch, countless black shadows in hoods appeared in the sky.

"Dementors!"

I don't know who was the first to yell out, and there was a commotion in the stands full of people. A few clever people rushed to the exit, but the vast majority of people just stared blankly at the camera appearing in the sky. Ghost, at a loss.

Harry fell off the broom the first time he saw those black shadows. The Gryffindor team members were shocked and tried to stop Harry but to no avail. They could only watch Harry fall on the ground On the soft lawn, there were large splashes of water.

But Cedric was not idle at this time, he completely ignored the dementors, pierced through the rain like a sharp arrow, and directly grabbed the little golden snitch in his hand.

The expected cheers and applause did not sound, and the stands were in chaos at this time.

"Don't panic!" Mike raised his arms, and the drake's voice, which was in the voice-changing period, was transmitted to the ears of everyone on the field with the loud sound, "Do you still remember the Patronus Charm I taught you? Follow me quickly Read it together! Call God to protect you!"

A glowing fluorescent raven flapped its wings.

At this time, people remembered Mike's amazing record before, and frantically began to flock to Mike.

And the few students who responded quickly raised their wands at the dementors that were getting closer in mid-air like Mike.

"Call God to protect you!"

The sound of chanting incantations came one after another. The patron saint spells of these little wizards were not strong, and even the strongest among them, Franklin Penello and others, could only release some light and mist.

But these light mist burst out with astonishing light under the leadership of the white raven, illuminating the stands while resisting the approaching dementors.

However, it is only to resist.

There are too many dementors. Even with the strength of everyone on the field, Mike can barely block them.

Suddenly, a blazing light burst out from the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

This ray of light swept over like a wave. The dementors seemed to be very afraid of this wave of light, and they retreated collectively as soon as they discovered it, but there were still a few that flew relatively slowly and were caught in the wave. In a short while, it turned into a cloud of fly ash and disappeared between heaven and earth.

But to the wizards, this wave of light is like a healing light. Everyone covered by the light feels their body warm up quickly, and happy emotions reappear.

Everyone unconsciously looked in the direction of the light wave, and saw that Dumbledore had arrived on the court at some point, frowning and angrily staring at the fleeing dementors.

This was the first time Mike saw Dumbledore really angry. Dumbledore, who always had a gentle smile on his face in the past, disappeared, and now a legendary wizard with infinite majesty appeared in front of Mike!

The others seemed to be seeing this side of Dumbledore for the first time, and they were a little shocked.

But then deafening cheers erupted from the stands.

The cheers seemed to wake up the angry Dumbledore, who forced a forced smile and raised his hand in a silent gesture.

In an instant, the cheers that had been like a tsunami disappeared, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Dumbledore's speech.

"Now, go back to the lounge. Take a good bath, but don't catch a cold!"

The cheers sounded again, even more enthusiastic than before.

At this moment, Mike's originally fair and handsome face was flushed red, he clenched his fists tightly, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

This is not surprising, most of the students around him are also like this, and many of them are even more excited than him.

But Mike's excitement is different from theirs, because at this moment there is a voice in Mike's heart screaming crazily:

"One day! I want to become a supreme existence like him!"

No one knows Mike's inner thoughts. In fact, everyone is not in the mood to care about Mike's thoughts at this time.

After everyone returned to Hogwarts Castle, they still couldn't calm down for a long time. Dumbledore's shocking Patronus Charm gave these students a great shock.

But Dumbledore's blessing was delayed, and now everyone has become a fanatic fan of the Patronus Charm.

So the students who learned a few hands and three-legged cat kung fu from Mike spontaneously became the advertisers of Mike's cram school.

They frantically showed off their crappy Patronus charms to their friends, harvesting their envy and jealousy.

And because of their behavior, the name of Mike's cram school finally resounded throughout Hogwarts. These people couldn't even wait until tomorrow, so they ran to the lounge of Ravenclaw College to look for Mike. , want to join his cram school.

However, they were in vain.

Mike was missing at this time!

...

On the outskirts of Hogsmeade village, Mike was looking for the abandoned house that Lupine mentioned, while Shuke, the house elf, followed Mike step by step, looking a little nervous.

It's not his fault. Last time, in order to carry out the task assigned by Mike, Beta was absorbed by several dementors.

As a result, he can only stay at home and recuperate. If he doesn't do this, Beta is likely to go crazy!

After this incident, Shu Ke felt that his original master, who always had a gentle smile on his face, had changed and became more and more terrifying!

But who made him his master? As a house elf, it is a bounden duty to obey the orders of the master!

Thinking of this, Shu Ke quickened his pace, came to Mike and said, "Master! That room is just ahead!"

"Well, I see it."

Mike answered without turning his head, his eyes fixed on a dilapidated house in the distance.

This is the famous haunted house in Hogsmeade Village: The Shrieking Shack.

For many years, the villagers of Hogsmeade village thought that there were evil spirits living in it because of the howling ghosts and wolves coming from it from time to time, and the fact that no one could enter that room by any means proved this.

Thus, in the closed circle of Hogsmeade, the name of the Shrieking Shack spread.

In recent years, people have found that the screams in the screaming shack have disappeared, and they think that the evil spirits inside have left.

So the Screaming Shack has become an important tourist attraction, and almost everyone who comes to Hogsmeade village will come to enjoy the desolate scenery here.

But still no one dared to really enter this room.

In fact, the ghost screams heard by the villagers were actually Lupine's miserable howls after he became a werewolf because there was no one around him, so he could only scratch himself to relieve the pain.

This house was actually specially arranged by Dumbledore for Lupine to use for his transformation, and even the secret passage under the Whomping Willow was built for him.

In order to ensure that Lupine can transform safely here without being disturbed, and to prevent Lupine from running out to harm people when he turns into a werewolf, a lot of magic spells have been attached to this room to ensure that people inside can never get out. If you go, no one from the outside can come in.

That's the truth about haunted houses.
