Harry Potter and the Raven's Claw Chapter 257 Prepare to be awarded

Mike could swear it was the most special letter he had ever received in his life.

There was nothing fancy about the envelope in which it was contained, not even as gorgeous as the one Fudge had sent him.

But the stationery inside is different.

As soon as Mike opened the letter paper, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, and then the letter paper began to glow softly, and a few elves with shiny wings suddenly appeared, flying up on the paper confidently, singing while dancing And throwing shining light dust at Mike.

At this moment, the real text on the letter paper slowly appeared in front of Mike under the soft white light.

Mike, who received this kind of magic letter for the first time, was a little sluggish.

He kept closing and opening the letter paper, closing and opening it again and again.

And with his movements, the white light, the elf, and the words on the letter paper kept disappearing and reappearing.

Mike didn't confirm until now that everything he saw was virtualized by magic, and those elves and the light powder they threw on his face were all just light and shadow effects.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Mike was tired of playing, and began to read the words on the letter paper seriously.

As Mike expected, this was indeed an invitation letter informing him to go to the Ministry of Magic to receive an honor.

Different from ordinary invitation letters, the staff of the Ministry of Magic not only marked the time on it, but even very rudely stated the clothes that the participants should wear.

Formal wear.

The Ministry of Magic's requirements for the costumes of honor recipients are only two simple words.

It was these simple two words, but it made Mike a little confused.

He knew the formal attire of the Muggle society. Apart from the unique attire of each nation and country, the suit should be the most widely used.

But what is the formal attire of wizarding society? Magic robe?

In desperation, Mike could only come to Professor Flitwick's office.

In the office, Professor Flitwick was grading the test papers of the students. Seeing Mike knocking on the door, his originally serious face immediately bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

"Hahaha, Mike, you did really well on the exam this time, I want to give you a big A!"

"Thank you, Professor." After thanking Mike, he quickly asked his own question, "Professor, do you know what the formal attire of wizards is?"

Flitwick obviously didn't expect Mike to ask him such a question, his face showed a look of surprise, and the pen in his hand, which was grading the test paper, stopped.

"There are many kinds of formal attire for wizards, ranging from wizard robes handed down from the Middle Ages to modern dresses, etc. If I listed them all for you, I'm afraid it would be dark." Professor Flitwick said, "You Why do you suddenly start asking about this, Penello's parents want to see you? That's not right, her parents are both Muggles, and it is reasonable for you to wear a Muggle suit."

Ignoring Professor Flitwick's joke in the second half, Mike handed the invitation letter to Professor Flitwick and said:

"It's such a professor. I won a Merlin Second Class Medal because of Black."

Professor Flitwick was obviously shocked by the news. He took the envelope from Mike, opened it and looked at it for a long time before excitedly saying:

"How wonderful! This is one of the highest honors a wizard can receive!"

Mike couldn't help showing a smile on his face, he could feel the pure joy of Professor Flitwick, he was sincerely happy for himself.

"Is the day after tomorrow? This time is really too short, and the custom-made dresses and wizard robes are too late! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Professor Flitwick paced back and forth in the office excitedly, and then began to rummage He picked up his closet, and he kept rummaging out gorgeous robes and throwing them on the floor of the office, "No way! My dress robes are all made in a special size, and you can't even wear them. What should I do? what!"

Mike stared dumbfounded at Professor Flitwick, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't understand why Flitwick was so excited. This was just a second-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

And at this moment, Professor Flitwick looked at Mike back and forth as if he suddenly remembered something, and after a while, he patted himself on the forehead, and said in surprise:

"Why am I so stupid! Aren't you wearing formal clothes now?"

"But... it's just a school uniform."

"You have to remember your identity! You are now a student besides a wizard! And what else can a student's formal attire be except a school uniform? This is the student's advantage!" Professor Flitwick said proudly, "You You should be the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, Second Class, I never thought that a young wizard like you would have won such an honor before!"

Mike scratched his hair shyly, and didn't say anything about the medal being worthless. He knew that Professor Flitwick didn't even have a third-class medal. Then he would really beat himself up.

After getting the answer he wanted, Mike was about to leave. He could see that Professor Flitwick still had a lot of work to do.

But Professor Flitwick was obviously not going to let himself go just like that, he started to dress up for Mike like an old father whose son was about to go to his first interview.

For a while, I put a golden eagle brooch on Mike's chest, and for a while, I turned up the blue tie that symbolizes Ravenclaw at the neckline of Mike, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt that this was too ugly. Turned down again...

...

In the auditorium two days later.

In the past two days, the news that Mike and Snape won the Order of Merlin, Second Class has spread throughout Hogwarts. Today, except for Professor Binns of History of Magic, almost all the professors and students came to the auditorium to see them off. Mike and Snape.

The two of them will go to the Ministry of Magic with Dumbledore.

And when Mike came to the auditorium, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

There is no other reason, the school uniform on him is too coquettish.

Professor Flitwick seems to want to use the opportunity of Mike's award to promote Ravenclaw College to the wizards who participated in the award, so he uses Mike as an advertising display board, and will try his best to Many Ravenclaw logos were placed on Mike's body.

At this moment, Mike, apart from the eagle brooch on his chest and the blue tie on his neckline, even his cuffs are faintly blue.

Of course, such a dress is quite handsome to be honest, and Mike is quite satisfied with it, but Professor McGonagall obviously doesn't think so.

She frowned the first time Mike appeared, because Mike's attire obviously violated school rules, and Hogwarts did not allow students to make such modifications to school uniforms.

But since today is Mike's big day, she didn't say anything.

Compared with Mike, the robes of Dumbledore and Snape are much more low-key.

Dumbledore was wearing the usual off-white robe as always. Mike understood this very well. After all, at Old Deng’s level, it didn’t matter what he wore. No one would accuse a legendary wizard of being disheveled.

They even think that this is a trend, so they follow suit.

And Snape obviously prefers black, and at the moment he is wearing a pure black robe, which Mike thinks is more suitable for attending a funeral than attending an honorary ceremony.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Snape finally washed his hair today!

Mike was not the only one who discovered this, in fact, including many professors, many people were staring at Snape's silky hair.

Mike even noticed that even Dumbledore was licking Snape's head intentionally or unintentionally.

Obviously, everyone was surprised that Professor Snape washed his hair.

Mike was no exception. He once maliciously speculated whether Snape's dislike of washing his hair had something to do with the Potter family.

Because the most widely used hair softener in the British wizarding world is the Potter family's industry.

Looking at it now, there shouldn't be much relationship between the two, Snape might just be simply sloppy.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go."

Following Dumbledore's order, the gate of the castle opened automatically, and a Thestral carriage was waiting for them outside the gate.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Mike followed Dumbledore and Snape into the carriage.

The carriage started slowly, and the cheers of the students gradually faded away. Dumbledore looked at Mike who was a little embarrassed and said:

"Don't be nervous, this is just a very simple little ceremony."

Mike laughed twice. He felt that Dumbledore might have misunderstood something. The object of his nervousness was not the award ceremony at all, but Dumbledore himself.

Compared with Snape Dumbledore, who has been silent since he appeared in the auditorium, he is obviously more willing to talk to Mike. The smile on his face became brighter, and he said:

"I want to thank you, Mike. Blake and Lupine were good students of mine, and I'm grateful that you can clear them up."

Just as Mike was about to say something polite, Snape suddenly snorted coldly.

Dumbledore glanced at Snape, seeing that he was not about to speak, he smiled and said, "I heard you got a lot of magic books from Black, right?"

"That's right, professor. Those books are precious knowledge, and I have sorted them out and shared them with those who need them."

Before Dumbledore finished speaking, Mike said.

Did he know what Dumbledore was up to? If he continued to answer according to his words, he might take back those books with too much knowledge of black magic in them, which Mike could not tolerate.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mike said, Dumbledore stopped talking. He must have seen that Mike didn't intend to hand over that knowledge.

In fact, he didn't have any malice, and he didn't mean to rob his students' property. He just simply felt that it's better for little wizards like Mike not to be exposed to those black magics.

Now that Mike doesn't want him to intervene, he doesn't plan to intervene.

He doesn't think that doing so will have any negative impact on Mike. From what he knows about Mike, although Mike looks like a child, his mind is already mature.

It is very difficult for such a mature and intelligent person to be controlled by black magic.

As for whether Mike will become a new generation of Dark Lord, Dumbledore is even more unconvinced.

It's not that he looks down on Mike, but that he has seen too many geniuses. Many of these people performed better than Mike when they were teenagers, but what happened? In the end, although these people all became big figures in the wizarding world, Voldemort was the only one who really stood up to him and Grindelwald.

What's more, Mike is still a Muggle-born wizard...

Dumbledore fell into deep thought unconsciously, and Mike and Snape naturally couldn't speak if he didn't speak, so in this almost eerie silence, Ye Qi stopped in the parking lot of the Ministry of Magic .

Perhaps because Dumbledore was also coming this time, the person who came to greet them was Fudge, Minister of Magic.

I saw him struggling to move his two elephant legs, and enthusiastically led Mai and others into the Ministry of Magic.

If you just look at the bright smile on his face, it's hard to imagine that he had a violent conflict with Dumbledore not long ago because of the Dementor and Hagrid.

Along the way, Fudge gave full play to his skills as a politician, and did not ignore Mike at all because he was still young. He talked with everyone enthusiastically, and threw the topic to Mike from time to time, so that Mike would not feel embarrassed.

His behavior was undoubtedly graceful, and anyone who was treated like this by the famous Minister of Magic would be grateful, but Mike's heart did not fluctuate at all.

Mike has already seen through these politicians.

People in front of one another and others in back, one second they were talking and laughing happily with you, and the next second they can stab you without changing face.

What you said with a hidden knife in your smile is a true portrayal of this kind of person!

Thanks to Fudge's leadership, Mike and the others didn't need to line up at all, and took the magic elevator all the way to the floor where the award ceremony was held unimpeded.

As soon as he came here, Mike opened his mouth in surprise. He saw that the busy office floor in the past was now decorated as a dinner party scene. In its place were multitudes of men and women in splendid gowns.

The arrival of Mike and his party immediately attracted everyone's attention. An old man greeted him with a red wine glass and smiled, and shouted from a long distance away from Mike and the others:

"Professor Dumbledore! It's been a long time!"

Dumbledore obviously knew the person who came, and the friendship between the two should be pretty good, because Dumbledore had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw the person.

And this smile is obviously much more real than when he faced Fudge just now.

"Newt, long time no see!"
