Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Looking at the petrified Penello Mack, he felt that his lungs were about to explode with anger.

"She's not dead, is she?"

"No way? Shouldn't he fall down when he's dead?"

The people around were talking.

Penello's face did not look too frightened. On the contrary, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she looked very good.

Strangely, Penello was wearing neither a Hogwarts uniform nor pajamas, but a thick khaki trench coat and black trousers.

Mike pulled out the letter in Penello's hand, and to his surprise, the signature on the letter was Mike Townley, and from the content of the letter, it should be an invitation to Penello. A love letter to a date in the middle of the night.

Now Mike understood that someone invited Penello out in his own name. No wonder Penello dressed up like this. It seemed that she must have dressed up before going out and was looking forward to the date.

On the wall behind Penello was a line of words written in blood: The Chamber of Secrets was opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

The attention of the surrounding students was mostly focused on the row of bloody words, and most of them were confused, while the few pure-blooded students in the senior year present were proudly telling others about the secret room legend.

The young Muggle-born wizards listened with interest at first, but their faces changed when they heard that the monsters in the secret room would slaughter Mudbloods.

An atmosphere of panic quickly spread through the crowd.

"Quiet me all!" Mike began to maintain order when he saw this. "Go and inform Dean Flitwick. Also, who was the first to discover Penello?"

Mike still has some prestige in Ravenclaw, and several people rushed to Professor Flitwick's office immediately after he gave the order. And a blond girl with a pockmarked face also walked out, indicating that she was the first to discover Penello.

With Mike's maintenance, the order at the scene finally returned to normal, and Professor Flitwick rushed over quickly, along with Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

Mike brought the pockmarked girl up to meet him, told the whole story of what happened, and finally handed over the letter.

Dumbledore watched the crowd gathering more and more melon eaters, took out his elder wand and swiped the blood on the wall, and then it disappeared, and said at the same time: "Felius, send Penello first. Let's go to the infirmary, by the way, to maintain order. Mike, you and the lady come with me, I need your cooperation in the investigation."

When Professor Flitwick heard the words, he immediately ordered the other prefects who had arrived late to disperse the students at the scene, and at the same time he took Penello to the infirmary. Before leaving, he patted Mike on the arm to show encouragement. He was very satisfied with Mike's handling today. As for whether Mike was the murderer, he didn't doubt it at all.

Mike nodded at Professor Flitwick and followed Dumbledore to the Headmaster's office.

On the way, no one spoke. The scene was very embarrassing. The pockmarked girl was sweating nervously.

Mike, on the other hand, was happy and leisurely, and after brewing for a long time, he entered a closed-brain state. According to today's posture, Dumbledore is likely to use Legilimency on himself. Although Mike is indeed not the murderer of this attack, he has the big secret of being a reborn person in his brain. Who can guarantee Dumbledore Lido won't find out.

After following Dumbledore all the way to the headmaster's room, Dumbledore said, "Sit down, do you want some cockroaches, you must know that sweets are the best way to relieve tension."

The pockmarked girl looked at the cockroaches that were still crawling in front of her.

Shake his head like a rattle.

The reactions of Mike and Snape are very similar, both are expressionless, their eyes are empty and deep, and they are completely indifferent to what Dumbledore said.

"I have a general understanding of what happened, but I still have to make sure." Dumbledore didn't get angry when everyone refused, and continued, "This letter written with a magical automatic shorthand pen was sent to Penello by you. Yes? Mike."

"I didn't send it, Dumbleley..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, Snape interrupted, "He lied!"

Mike looked at the expressionless Snape in front of him, and knew in his heart that he had seen that he was in a closed-brain state.

Mike's Occlumency is far from being a master, so he can't hide from Snape, a master of Occlumency.

However, Mike also planned to hide from them at all. Although doing so would raise his suspicions, it was nothing compared to the secrets in his mind.

"I believe that the discerning Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely do the right thing, Professor Snape."

Mike, who was in a closed-brain state, faced Snape's questioning at all truth, ignoring the icy aura he exuded and replied word by word.

Snape stared at Mike for a while, and found that Mike's expression had not changed at all, then ignored him.

"This time the matter is very serious, Dumbledore." Snape said to Dumbledore, "I suggest using unconventional means to interrogate Mike, and if necessary, I can provide Veritaserum."

Just as Dumbledore was about to say something, a man suddenly burst into the headmaster's office.

"Snape! You actually want to use Veritaserum on my student! Are you trying to make him a fool?" Professor Flitwick, who suddenly appeared, stared at Snape with bloodshot eyes. .

In the face of Flitwick's questioning, Snape's expression still did not change, and he did not discern anything, just looked at Flitwick silently.

At this time, Professor Flitwick, who was only a little over a meter tall, burst out with a brutal aura that was extremely incompatible with his short stature.

The pock-marked girl on the side was already in shock, and Professor Flitwick's current appearance was completely inconsistent with the kind and gentle image of the past, who smiled at everyone. She didn't remember until now that Professor Flitwick was once a duel champion.

Looking at the two people who might be fighting at any time, Dumbledore said in harmony: "Felius, Severus just wanted to scare little Mike, it's not malicious."

"Frighten you? What a joke?" Professor Flitwick roared. "Everyone knows that the Chamber of Secrets refers to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! If I say the real murderer must be a Slytherin! We should give it to Slytherin House. All students drink Veritaserum!"

Dumbledore looked at the furious Flitwick and knew that he would not be able to ask anything today.

"Okay, I also believe that little Mike would not do such a thing. After all, after the attack, he only left the letter at the scene. The smell of framing is too strong here," Dumbledore said. .

When Flitwick saw Dumbledore begin to take the initiative to defend Mike, the expression on his face improved a lot.

"Let's do this today. The top priority now is to cure Miss Penello. You have to follow up on this point, Filius." Dumbledore continued, "Severus stays, and the others will go first. Let's go. I still have a few things to talk to him privately."

PS: Just kidding, don't change. I don't understand why the silver sword part is so obvious?
