Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Seeing this, Mike hurriedly closed the bag, so as not to let the cockroaches in the bag crawl out.

The name of the cockroach pile means a pile of cockroaches, but it is not a real cockroach, but a kind of candy in the shape of a cockroach, which is a very strong candy.

Feeling the wonderful touch of the piles of cockroaches wriggling in the bag, Mike frowned in disgust, held the mouth of the bag with his index finger and thumb, and returned it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was not surprised by Mike's reaction. In fact, he had given Amway this "food" to many people, and he had long since seen it.

Taking the bag, he took out a pile of crawling cockroaches and threw it into his mouth and ate it. Not only that, Dumbledore also showed a very intoxicated expression while eating, as if he was eating What an unparalleled delicacy.

After eating one, Dumbledore took out another pile of cockroaches and handed it to Mike, who looked shocked.

"Is there an old saying in the far east that a person cannot be seen by appearance, which means that we can't judge a person by appearance alone," Dumbledore said. "Come and try it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed."

Looking at the cockroach-shaped candy that was still alive and kicking in front of him, Mike was a little overwhelmed.

To be honest, Mike believes that he still has a relatively strong ability to accept this kind of heavy-tasting food, such as the kind of disgusting food that was widely rumored in the ancient eastern country, called preserved eggs, he has eaten it, although Only one time.

He has also tried insects, but they are fried, and they eat the kind of relatively clean bee pupae. To be honest, the taste is not bad.

But looking at the pile of cockroaches that were still alive and kicking in front of him, although he knew in his heart that it was just a candy, Mike was still a little afraid to start.

It's as tough as a chocolate-flavored shi and a shi-flavored chocolate in front of you for you to choose and eat.

After hesitating for a while, under Dumbledore's encouraging eyes, Mike finally reached out to the cockroach-shaped candy.

To be honest, he was quite interested in this famously heavy-flavored candy.

Of course, he didn't directly take the whole cockroach, but just broke one leg off.

Putting this slender leg in front of his eyes, Mike found that there is still a difference between this candy called a cockroach pile and a real cockroach.

Although the real cockroach legs can remain active for a period of time after being broken off, their flexibility and range of motion will also be greatly reduced. However, the legs on the cockroach pile were the same as when it was on the body after being broken off, and they were all swinging violently.

Gritting his teeth, Mike threw the cockroach leg into his mouth, then closed his eyes and started chewing.

After taking a few bites, Mike opened his eyes with a look of surprise on his face.

The smell of cockroaches' feet is not bad!

Different from the real cockroach legs, the legs of the cockroach pile are hard, and Mike's mouth is full of the aroma of coffee when he bites it.

If it is hard to describe it as an ordinary candy, the legs of the cockroach pile taste like a coffee hard candy, or the top one.

Seeing Mike's shocked look after eating, Dumbledore hurriedly handed over the cockroach with the broken leg, his eyes full of anticipation and encouragement.

And after trying the cockroach stacking legs, Mike was greatly improved on this candy, which was no different from live cockroaches. He hesitated after taking the candy from Dumbledore's hand, and finally closed his eyes and was still struggling desperately. The pile of cockroaches was thrown into the mouth.

As soon as the pile of cockroaches entered his mouth, Mike began to chew with all his might. He didn't want to feel the feeling of live cockroaches crawling in his mouth, so he wanted to kill the pile of cockroaches quickly in this way.

However, the cockroach pile is just candy, it has no life at all, and there is no such thing as death. So no matter how Mike chewed, the pile of cockroaches in his mouth was still crawling.

Mike forced the goosebumps in his mouth to chew quickly,

And as he chewed, an increasingly strong coffee aroma also permeated, through his throat, straight into the nasal cavity.

Mike was surprised to find that, aside from the horrible feeling of live cockroaches crawling in your mouth, the smell of cockroach piles is really good!

The wings, limbs and shells of the cockroach pile are made of coffee hard candy, while its belly is a soft candy, and the milk chocolate syrup inside will spew out when you bite it, releasing a rich aroma and sweetness. A small amount of bitterness in the coffee hard candy is neutralized, leaving only the rich coffee aroma in the end.

Mike didn't swallow at all, and the cockroach completely melted under his chewing.

"Do you want another one?"

Seeing that Mike had finished eating, Dumbledore took out another cockroach and handed it over, his eyes full of expectation.

"No principal, I think only one of this delicious food is enough for a day." Mike quickly refused, although the taste of the cockroach pile was not bad, it was too creepy to eat, and Mike didn't want to try it a second time.

"You're right, the more delicious the food, the more restraint we need to be. It's just like being a human being. We must remain sensible in the face of temptation." Dumbledore saw this and stopped persuading, and put away the cockroaches. He got up and said, "Thank you for having dinner with me, Mr. Townley. It's been a long time since I've had such a good meal."

Dumbledore's words were extremely sincere, and Mike couldn't tell the truth from the fake at all, so he could only reply with a conventional polite remark.

Dumbledore wasn't lying, he really enjoyed his dinner today.

Often, the older the elderly, the more they like children, and Dumbledore is no exception. What he likes to see the most is the smiles of children, so he always invites the students who come to his office to eat desserts and candies, he thinks Sweet things can make people feel good.

However, I don't know why, maybe it's because they are too nervous in front of their headmaster or some other reason, only a very few students are willing to taste the candy Dumbledore gave, and there is not a single student in the cockroach pile. Dare to try, which made Dumbledore very disappointed.

But today Mike not only ate his cake, but also tried his collection of cockroach piles, much to the delight of Dumbledore, the candy lover and kind grandpa.

Of course, Dumbledore also once wondered if Mike ate those things on purpose to please himself.

But when he saw Mike's food, he dismissed the idea and came to the conclusion that the child was really hungry.

Mike certainly doesn't know what Dumbledore thinks, as Dumbledore concluded that he only eats what Dumbledore gives simply because he is hungry.

Mike had also wondered whether Dumbledore would put some potions like Veritaserum in his food, but he vetoed this conjecture in a flash.

What are you kidding? Does a great wizard like Dumbledore need medicine to deal with himself?

After that, the two chatted about the Hogwarts campus for a while, before Dumbledore finally got to the point.

"Mike, can you tell me what happened last night?"

As soon as this statement came out, Mike's expression suddenly suffocated, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became low.

"Okay, Headmaster Dumbledore." Mike sat upright and said slowly, "I was woken up in my sleep that night and found a piece of parchment beside my pillow with the words 'Penello is in me Here, come to the Forbidden Forest alone now, and don't tell anyone. 'If that's the case, I will go to the Forbidden Forest.

I believe you already know what happened next. The person who sent me the letter was Percy, or Voldemort to be precise. He subdued the eight-eyed spiders and centaurs in the Forbidden Forest and attacked me, and I was forced to fight back. "

Dumbledore kept looking straight into Mike's eyes while Mike was talking, as if he could see in Mike's eyes if Mike was lying.

Mike knew that a wizard of Dumbledore's level didn't need a spell and a wand when releasing Legilimency, so he also ran Occlumency with all his strength, hoping to deceive Dumbledore.

"And what about that parchment? Mr. Townley." Dumbledore asked after a long silence, withdrawing his gaze.

"It ignited after I watched it."

After speaking, the office fell into silence.

I don't know how long it took before Dumbledore said again: "Okay, Mr. Townley, thank you very much for being able to bring your injuries today. I'm very sorry for what happened to you, and I didn't protect you as the headmaster. dereliction of duty.”

"You're serious about the principal, and I should apologize to you. If I told you about this at the first time, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so big."

"Okay, let's stop being so humble to each other. I think it's time for you to go back. If you don't go back, your friends should be worried." Dumbledore said with a kind smile, " I hope you can resume and devote yourself to your studies as soon as possible, and wish you good results in the next exams."

Mike was surprised to hear Dumbledore mention his friend, knowing that when he first woke up, there was no one around him.

But Mike didn't think too much. Dumbledore's gaze just now put a lot of pressure on him, and now he doesn't want to stay in this place for a second, so he got up and said goodbye.

But when Mike was about to leave the office, Dumbledore stopped him again.

"One more thing, the diary has been tested and confirmed to be Voldemort's Horcrux, and as a reward for you who destroyed the Horcrux and saved your classmates, I decided to add 100 points to Ravenclaw and award the You Hogwarts Special Contribution Award." Dumbledore smiled, "Finally, I hope you can forgive Hagrid's rudeness, he is actually a very good person, but he doesn't know enough about some things. whole."

"Thank you very much, Headmaster Dumbledore, this is what I should do." Mike turned around and glanced at Dumbledore with some surprise and said sincerely, "As for Hagrid, I didn't take it to heart from the beginning. Hagrid and I are also friends, and it was a complete rant to be held accountable at the time."

...

On the way back to the ward, Mike had a bright smile on his face.

What Dumbledore just said was very clear. He awarded Mike a special contribution award, and at the same time gave Ravenclaw a hundred percent in exchange for Mike no longer holding Hagrid accountable.

The price Dumbledore gave is not too small, and adding 100 points is nothing. This special contribution award is amazing.

As far as Mike knows, the review of the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award is extremely strict. Once the winner's name and trophy are awarded, they will be permanently placed in the Hogwarts Prize Showroom, accepting generations of young wizards. worship.

At the same time, this award can also add points to the wizard rating examination in the future, and can also play a considerable role in the future job search.

This transaction can be said to be beneficial to Mike without any harm, so Mike agreed without any hesitation.

Mike hummed a little tune all the way back to his ward. As soon as he opened the door, he found that his ward was already crowded with people.

Penello was lying on Mike's bed in pain, and there was a dinner on the bedside table next to her, while Mrs. Weasley was half-squatting beside her and patted her on the back, saying words of comfort to her.

And Harry, Franklin and others and the rest of the Weasley family looked anxious, guessing each other where Mike might be.

Mike understood when he saw this scene. It turned out that when he woke up, there was no one around because Penello and the others had gone to dinner. Now they should have brought food to Mike but found that Mike was missing, so they were anxious. .

"Wow, I didn't expect it to be so lively in my room?"

Mike deliberately said this in a very exaggerated tone, and suddenly he heard Mike's voice, and the eyes of everyone in the room were attracted.

Penello raised the delicate face of Yudai Pear Blossom and looked at the door with a pair of red and swollen eyes.

Penello's eyes lit up the moment he saw Mike, and he quickly got up and wanted to say something.

But someone was faster than her.

"Mike, I thank you so much!" said Mrs Weasley, choking on Mike's hand in three steps and two, "thank you for saving Percy, really, if this kid goes out What's the matter, his father and I really don't know what to do!"

"Yes Mike, it's really thanks to you this time." The Weasley brothers also gathered around and thanked him, "Headmaster Dumbledore told me everything, Percy is really dead this time!"

Mike looked at Mrs. Weasley, who was holding his hand and crying non-stop, and the three Weasley brothers who were grateful and their father, Mr. Weasley. He didn't know what to say. it is good.

At this moment, Madam Pomfleur's voice suddenly came from the corridor:

"The Weasleys, come here! Percy is awake!"
