Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Following an order from the president of the girl student union, the carriage that Mike and the others were riding in was dragged silently by two Thestrals.

After a period of run-up, the two Thestrals opened their bat-like wings, flapped them twice, and flew with the carriage.

The Thestral is indeed an excellent magical creature mount. Not only is the entire take-off process as smooth as flowing water, but it is also very fast in flight.

Mike thinks that these Thestrals can fly by definitely not relying on the pair of wings, but another special power, because when these Thestrals opened their wings, he saw with his own eyes that there were many holes in their wings, and the largest even had holes. With the size of Mike's head, no matter what kind of creature it is, it is absolutely impossible to fly with such a pair of tattered wings.

The climate in the UK was cold, and the night wind brought a slight chill on him. Mike shook his body twice before he stopped looking at the two Thestrals, and got back into the carriage again.

In the carriage, Franklin was teasing the laughing owl Alfred above his head. Because of the nocturnal nature of the owl, the little guy was very excited, and his big eyes looked at the decorations in the carriage curiously.

"It looks like you're in good shape." Mike sat next to Franklin and said to him.

"I've said it a long time ago, it's not a big deal." Franklin waved his hand and said, "This is an old problem. Thinking of my parents gives me a headache, but as long as I don't think about it, it'll be fine."

"Let's go to Madam Pomfrey's place to have a look. It's best if you have nothing to do. If something happens, you can find out in advance."

Franklin was still thinking about saying something, but seeing Mike's sincere eyes, the words that reached his throat were not spoken after all, only his nose was sore, he nodded and stopped talking.

The Thestral was flying very fast, and in a short while, the two were sent to the hunting grounds at Hogwarts, where Professor Kettleburn was already waiting.

Professor Kettleburn is a professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts. He is a very enthusiastic old man. Because he usually has to take care of and study those dangerous magical creatures, Professor Kettleburn is often injured, which also causes him to be forever. lost an arm and half a leg. I heard that due to his physical disability and his increasing age, he will retire next year.

Professor Keitelborn was very surprised that Mike and the three came to Hogwarts ahead of time. After learning the whole story, he hurriedly notified Madam Pomfrey and asked her to send Franklin to the infirmary.

Mike and Penello originally wanted to go with them, but were sent by Madam Pomfrey to the auditorium on the grounds that they would disturb the treatment.

Professor Kettleburn did not leave. The Thestral carriages carrying the senior students were descending one after another. He had to pick up these students here.

"You don't have to worry, Pomfrey is definitely the most skilled healer I've ever seen. Even the attending physician at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries is not as good as her." Professor Kettleburn threw two pieces of fresh meat. After giving the two Yestrals, seeing that Mike and Penello looked very worried, they comforted, "So don't worry, your friends will be safe and sound, you should go to the auditorium quickly."

Mike and Penello had to leave after hearing the words.

Tonight's auditorium was magnificently furnished. When the two came to the auditorium, the four long tables representing the four colleges were already dotted with some students.

Professor Flitwick was sitting in the teacher's seat on the high platform chatting with other classrooms. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Mike and Penello entered the classroom, and hurriedly stood up from the high cushioned seats and moved towards the two. man waving. He almost fell off his seat due to the too much action, but fortunately, Snape on the side cast a floating spell.

Mike also saw Professor Flitwick and waved to him. At the same time, he also noticed that there was no Professor McGonagall on the classroom seat. It seemed that the professor who organized the freshmen to participate in the sorting ceremony was still McGonagall.

Mike and Penello sat down at the long table in Ravenclaw, and it didn't take long for Professor Kettleburn to bring the senior team to the auditorium.

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium became active in an instant. The seats beside Mike and Penello were filled with people. Everyone was talking about their experiences during the holiday and expressing the joy of seeing their friends again.

Dumbledore on the stage smiled and looked at the messy appearance of the little wizards below, and did not stop it, as if he had seen the most beautiful scene in the world.

In the end, Professor McGonagall, who was still standing outside the door waiting for the new students, couldn't bear the noise. He rushed into the auditorium and pressed his wand against his throat to release a loud-sounding curse: "Be quiet! The new students will be here soon. I'll sit down! You don't want to..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, the door was opened again, and a wet red-haired boy walked in from the door, it was Percy.

Percy feels like she's just out of luck tonight. Those goddamn bear children were simply demons from hell, which made him exhausted. If he didn't want to create a good image of his best brother, Percy swore that he would definitely let them know why the flowers were so popular.

His shoulders were still aching, and Hagrid nearly broke himself with a slap in the face.

However, this wasn't the worst of the night. When Percy arranged for many little wizards to come to the open space where the Thestral carriages were parked, he found that there were no Thestral carriages. There was only one left by the president of the Boys and Girls Student Union in the open space. A note that reads:

Sorry, there was a little accident, although I don't know who you are, but you may be going to squeeze a boat with a new student.

Percy didn't complain, he turned his head and ran towards the pier, because he knew that Hagrid and the others were about to set off soon. If he couldn't catch the boat, he might really have to walk to Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Percy caught the boat. Unfortunately, since the boat's seats were also fixed, he had to squeeze in a boat with Hagrid.

As a result, it is natural to imagine that Hagrid's boat is already very difficult to carry the weight of Hagrid alone, and after adding Percy's weight, the poor boat has no doubt overturned. Fortunately, there is an octopus sea monster raised by Hogwarts in the Black Lake to prevent the little wizard from falling into the water, otherwise Percy might not be able to come back tonight.

Everyone in the auditorium burst into laughter when they saw Percy's embarrassed appearance, and the Weasley brothers laughed the loudest.

Percy's face almost turned the same color as his hair amid the jeers of the crowd. He had never been insulted like this before.

Professor McGonagall's face was also ugly. She has always been a person who pays attention to face. With a flick of the wand in her hand, all the moisture on Percy's body disappeared. Seeing that Percy was still frozen in place, she roared in a very low voice: "Get back to your seat for me soon! Don't you think it's not enough shame today?"

Hearing that, Percy hurried to Gryffindor's long table as if he was being forgiven. I don't know if I was tripped or not, and I almost fell, which made the students in the auditorium burst into laughter again.
