Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Since Sirius and Harry were making too much noise at the door, Lupin and Tonks on the sofa were naturally awakened, and then joined the camp to celebrate Harry's return.

Looking at Harry and the others who hugged each other for a while crying and laughing, Dumbledore always had a gratified smile on his face. Maybe it was because of his age. He always likes seeing this kind of reunion very much now. scene.

On the other hand, Mike was different. He just glanced at them lightly and stood aside to watch.

For him now, how to deal with Dumbledore's next questioning is the most important, because Dumbledore seems to be a bad person.

Thinking so, Mike turned to the other corner.

There, Snape was holding his wand and staring at Mike, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing this, Mike's eyes also became dangerous, but at this moment, a person rushed over from the side and held him firmly in his arms.

"I'm sorry! Mike! I've lost my temper with you, please forgive me!" Sirius said choked, "I'm just... just too anxious, I should trust you, thank you!"

"Okay, I see. And can you let me go, I'm about to be strangled by you!"

Mike held his breath high with his hands and said, the smell on Sirius is really horrible.

"Oh! Oh! Sorry!"

"it's better now."

Sirius stood on the side and rubbed his hands awkwardly. He also knew that he smelled bad now.

His appearance was quite happy, and both Dumbledore and Lupin laughed.

And after laughing, the expression on Dumbledore's face finally became serious, he looked at Harry and said:

"Harry, what the hell is going on? Who kidnapped you?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Sirius, but even Lupin and Tonks on the side pricked up their ears.

You must know that the two of them have been searching outside for a full day and night, and they have used almost every method and have not found Harry.

However, Harry had an embarrassed look on his face when he heard the words.

He looked at Mike with a look of help, and at the same time stammered:

"I... Actually, I'm not very clear, why don't you ask Mike?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Mike again, but in desperation, Mike could only roughly tell the story of the incident.

Of course, Mike didn't say anything about the disappearance of Voldemort's soul in Harry's body. In his opinion, there is no need to say this at all. People who need to know, like Dumbledore, they have long been He should have seen it the moment he saw Harry.

After listening to Mike's remarks, the office fell into a silence. Except for Snape, who was still staring at Mike, and Harry's confused expression, everyone else made a contemplative look.

Obviously, like Mike, they were also puzzled by this matter, but at the same time they also noticed the strangeness in it.

After a long time, Harry, who had been waiting impatiently, couldn't help yawning heavily.

Dumbledore, who was in deep thought, was awakened by this yawn, looked up at Harry, who was already sleepy, and then touched his beard and said a little embarrassedly:

"Sorry Harry, I lost my mind. It's getting late, why don't you go back to rest first?"

Hearing that, Lu Ping and others were also awakened. With their approval, Harry, who was still a little embarrassed, could only walk out of the office with three steps and one turn.

His godfather, Sirius, desperately wanted to stay with Harry.

The events of the past two days had terrified him, and he could hardly imagine his days without Harry.

But his request was brutally rejected by Dumbledore.

At Dumbledore's insistence, Lupin, Sirius and others were amicably invited out of the office. Mike also planned to join in and leave the place, but when he had reached the door, Dumbledore's gracious The voice rang again.

"Mike, I'm sorry, but could you please stay here for a while? There's something else I want to tell you about this old man."

Dumbledore spoke very politely, but Mike didn't feel the slightest friendliness, because Snape, who had been standing in the corner, had moved to the door at this time, which was obvious.

Glancing coldly at the wand in Snape's hand, Mike said expressionlessly:

"Can."

"This is really good, please sit down Mike." Dumbledore took a step behind the eagle foot table, and then took out a lot of candy from the drawer, "Our conversation may be a little long, just now I noticed you didn't eat much at the banquet, so if you're hungry you can get a candy pad first. Of course, it's not good to eat sweets at night, but... who cares when you're hungry? But I don't recommend you to eat cockroach piles, there are coffee ingredients in that stuff, you won't be able to sleep at night if you eat too much."

Dumbledore kept talking, and he seemed very excited that Mike was willing to sit down and talk to him, but Mike was extremely cold, and turned a blind eye to the mountains of candy on the table.

"Let's get down to business, principal, it's getting late."

Hearing this, Dumbledore was stagnant for a while, and then the expression on his face became serious, and he asked:

"Okay, Mike. Do you know what happened that Christmas night?"

"If you're referring to how I spent Christmas Eve, of course," Mike said. "Me and Franklin traveled to the United States and had a wonderful Christmas with Abbot there."

"About? You mean About Foley? Oh, I still remember him, a handsome guy. Has he gone to the US now? Well, yes, it's good to go to the US now in this situation, it's just …”

Seeing that Dumbledore had a tendency to stray from the topic again, Snape, who was standing behind Mike, couldn't stand it any longer. He covered his mouth and deliberately coughed a few times.

"Sorry, I've digressed, I'm so sorry," said Dumbledore. "Then let's get down to business. Mike, I got word on Christmas Eve that Voldemort was going through a room in the Requirement Room on Christmas Eve. The Vanishing Cabinet in the raid raided Hogwarts. But he didn't come later, which is very strange, because we did find a lot of werewolves and dementors ambush in the Forbidden Forest at that time, and they also admitted that it was Voldemort. Telling them to hide here ready to attack Hogwarts. Can you tell me why Voldemort didn't come that night?"

Dumbledore stared at Mike's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see something from the change in Mike's expression.

But unfortunately, Mike has already turned on Occlumency, which makes him look like no waves and no flaws.

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Really? I see," Dumbleley asked again. "Do you know why Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic yesterday?"

This time Mike didn't answer immediately, he really didn't know about it.

But under the guise of Occlumency, he still performed flawlessly.

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Okay," Dumbledore nodded in disappointment, "it's getting late, why don't you go back to rest first. Oh, yes. You really don't need to bring some candy home?"

"No need, Headmaster Dumbledore, good night."

"Good night, Mike."

Watching Mike slowly disappear and close the door, Dumbledore sighed deeply.

Obviously, his heart was not as indifferent as he showed at the moment.

Snape, who had been silent all along, was even more irritable. As soon as Mike left, he walked to Dumbledore, slammed his hands on the desk and roared:

"He lied! He must know something! He doesn't even want to pretend now!"

In the face of Snape's roar, Dumbledore was not only not angry, but showed a look of pity and said slowly:

"Does it start to hurt again?"

Hearing this, Snape was stunned for a moment, and then he put his right hand behind him and said with a displeased expression:

"No!"

Dumbledore lowered his eyes, looking a little guilty.

He knew very well that the Dark Mark on Snape's arm had been tormenting Snape every moment since Christmas Eve. This was Voldemort's punishment. In Voldemort's eyes, Snape had undoubtedly been thrown away, and it was still the most hateful. the one.

That's why Snape hadn't heard anything from Voldemort after so long.

After pursing his lips, Dumbledore asked tentatively:

"Severus, maybe you should take a break and get some rest."

"No! Absolutely not!" Snape's nerves that had just relaxed a little were tense again, and he roared, "Harry has just been kidnapped, and you asked me to rest now? Then who will pay me after I rest? Can you stay by his side to protect him? Is that you? With your half-crippled arm?"

Dumbledore didn't speak, just stared out the window silently.

And Snape obviously noticed that what he said was a little heavy, and his tone suddenly eased:

"Anyway, I won't rest. In addition, I suggest you send someone to arrest McTorley immediately and deal with it! He is a very dangerous person! Relying on the Los Santos Group, he has developed too many people, maybe One day your fears will come true!"

Dumbledore shook his head imperceptibly, but still did not speak.

Today's weather is quite good, which makes the moonlight extra bright tonight, and it has a wonderful artistic conception on people.

And now Dumbledore has been immersed in this mood and cannot extricate himself.

Harry's soul had disappeared, and he could see it.

He even suspected that Mike had planned the kidnapping from the ground up, in order to silently remove Voldemort's soul from Harry.

After all, if the person who kidnapped Harry was Voldemort, then Harry would never have survived.

And this is why Dumbledore doesn't want to do anything to Mike.

In his opinion, Mike still has love in his heart, which is enough.

All he cares about is the entire wizarding world, and he has an instinctive aversion to war after experiencing the ravages of the Dark Lord twice.

Can't Dumbledore see all the problems that exist in wizarding society today?

Of course he can see it, but he is more inclined to use a gentle, subtle way to change the world.

So he didn't really care about what Mike did, even if Mike finally became Minister of Magic and began to tilt his policies towards non-pure blood wizards, after all, Mike did exactly what he did. Looking forward to - to make the world a better place.

But this does not mean that Dumbledore will absolutely trust Mike, because in his opinion, Mike is developing too fast.

In the face of such great power and power, it is difficult for a young man like Mike to control his desires.

'Don't let me down, Mike. ’

Looking at the bright starry sky outside the window, Dumbledore sighed silently.

...

"Dear Mr. Townley! Is there anything we can do to help you?"

In the Hogwarts kitchen, an old house elf was bending over and talking to Mike with a look of joy.

There were also a large number of house elves standing behind him. They were extremely respectful, and their eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at Mike. This was the result of Mike helping them get ahead during the Clark incident.

"Uh, just order whatever you want." Mike said again as if he had remembered something and continued, "Just a little bit, I can't eat too much by myself, don't waste it."

"Okay! Dear Mr. Townley!"

The leading house elf nodded excitedly, and then shouted and directed the other house elves to act.

For a while, the otherwise silent kitchen became brightly lit again.

At this time, Mike sat on the old seat he used to sit in before, and sternly tossed the Masonic gold coin in his hand.

After a while, the color of the gold coin suddenly began to turn red, and Mike quickly grabbed the gold coin and pressed it hard.

"Penello, is there any news?"

"Yes, Mike, we have checked the matter." Penello's voice came out clearly from the gold coin, "Yesterday, Voldemort did attack the Ministry of Magic, and he went alone. The time is when we send When people were looking for Harry, all the Aurors and Strikers were being transferred to support the Ministry, so there was no time for us."

"He went to attack the Ministry of Magic alone? Why?"

"I'm sorry, the reason is unknown."

Mike nodded and continued to ask:

"So, what about the Ministry of Magic's casualties?"

"Very serious! Almost the entire Auror force was maimed, and the casualties of the striker force were very large. Even the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour himself, was seriously injured and was being rescued in St Mungo's. Now the entire Ministry of Magic is basically The government has been paralyzed, and Kingsley Shacklebolt, who replaced Scrimgeour as acting minister, is trying to restore order, but to little effect, and not many people are willing to listen to him."

Having said that, Penello suddenly paused, and then said in a trembling voice:

"But the results they have achieved are also very rich!"
