Chapter 244: New members coming soon

"Buckbeak? Who is that?"
Mike asked suspiciously, frowning.
Hermione looked at Mike with a shocked face, seeming to be surprised by Mike's answer, but then the look on her face became a little angry, and said:
"You forgot about it? Didn't you ride it when you first started?"
Mike remembered that Buckbeak was the eagle-headed horse-winged beast, and quickly apologized to Hermione.
He really forgot about Buckbeak's affairs. During this period of time, his mind was full of Black and Freemason affairs, and he did not take the ‘beast’ of Buckbeak in his mind at all.
Fortunately, Mike's lips are more powerful, and her experience in dealing with girls like Hermione is also quite rich. After comforting her for a while, Hermione finally stopped being angry and began to explain Buckbeak.
"I accidentally heard Professor McGonagall chatting with Professor Lupin, saying that Malfoy's father took Buckbeak to court, and the Ministry of Magic decided to put him to death because of Buckbeak's harm to Malfoy!"
Hermione's emotions were quite agitated, and her eyes flushed again as she spoke.
Mike's heart is not fluctuating, and he even wants to laugh.
To be honest, it’s a pretty good result that the Buckbeak wounding incident can be ended in this way. After all, Buckbeak is a beast with only a history of wounding. Once placed in the Muggle society, this beast with low IQ There has been a record of injury or cannibalism, then death is their only fate.
This is the same in the wizarding society. After all, no one can guarantee that the beast will fall in love with the smell of human blood and make similar or more serious mistakes.
Mike believed that even Hagrid would be punished severely without Dumbledore's intervention. After all, as a professor in the protection of magical creatures, he was responsible for a considerable part of this matter.
Hermione and Harry thought that Malfoy was provoking first, so it was right for Buckbeak to hurt Malfoy, not to mention that Malfoy's injury was not serious.
But this idea is extremely subjective and extremely stupid.
The so-called decides the head. They only favored Buckbeak because they had a bad relationship with Malfoy and had a good relationship with Hagrid. From the standpoint of an observer, Mike felt that Malfoy’s behavior was not excessive. .
After all, provocation is not against the law, just like when you are sitting on the subway, an aunt suddenly jumps out and points to your nose and starts cursing.
But if you can't help but beat her, I'm sorry, you may lose money or go to prison.
This is true between people, let alone? Between people and beasts.
Of course, it is impossible for Mike to tell Hermione these words. On the contrary, he still expressed his indignation towards the Malfoys from Hermione's point of view and said that they must have used their privileges to make things happen. such.
As Mike expected, a girl at this age was still so cheating, Hermione's eyes brightened when Mike said this.
No longer worrying about crying, he immediately returned to his usual sitting position and began to read the thick books, and declared that he must cheer to help Buckbeak escape the bad luck of being executed.
Mike flipped through the books on Hermione's desk and shook his head when he found that they were all legal books.
Hermione wanted to rescue Buckbeak through legal means, and Mike was pessimistic about this.
However, he did a good job on the surface. Seeing that Hermione had completely forgotten the unhappiness with Ron just now, and plunged into the study, Mike left the library silently and went to the responsive room.
‘I need a place to hold prisoners. ’3
After standing in front of the door of the responsive room for three times, a huge dungeon appeared in the responsive room.
This place perfectly fits all Mike's illusions about the dungeon, dark, wet, dirty...
There is only a long corridor inside the dungeon, and on both sides of the corridor are full of large and small cells. The smallest cell can only be measured in centimeters, and the largest is more than ten meters high. I don’t know. These strange cells exist for imprisonment.
Mike even found some human-shaped skeletons in some cages. The surface of the skeletons of these skeletons was extremely dirty, and some of them had broken apart.
"It looks like my predecessors have achieved a lot of success!"
Mike said that he stuffed the still-stiff Pettigrew into a cell that was only ten cubic centimeters in size, put some dry bread in it, and left the gloomy dungeon.
It's just that he didn't go far, standing at the door of the responsive room, closing his eyes again and meditating for a moment, then opened the door again.
The layout of the responsive room has changed a lot, returning to the training room that Mike is most familiar with.
Mike poured himself a cup of black tea familiarly, then sat on the sofa and sipped it.
The Christmas holiday is approaching, and both Penello and Franklin will leave Hogwarts tomorrow and go home to reunite with their family, so Mike decided to hold the first concluding meeting of Freemasonry tonight.
Penello and Franklin came to the responsive room before drinking a cup of black tea.
Mike poured a cup of black tea for them separately and said: "Since everyone is here, let's have a formal meeting."
As Mike announced the official start of the meeting, Penello got straight and took out a disc of documents and said:
"Let me report first. As of today, we have loaned out 13,410 gold gallons, the smallest loan amount is 10 gold gallons, and the largest amount is 500 gallons.
Among them, the number of students borrowing money in grades 4 and above far exceeds that of students in lower grades, but most of them use the money to purchase new books and learning materials.
Only a small proportion of the lower grade students used the loan on the right path. Most of them used the money to buy various candies and toys, and one person even repaid the loan to buy a handful of Guanglun 2000. "
Penello paused when he said that, put down the documents in his hand and looked at Mike and said: "I think the people who use the loan for eating, drinking and playing have no potential at all. I recommend that you stop investing in them."
Mike lowered his eyes and did not answer Penello directly.
"How is the sharing plan of learning resources going on?"
"Similar to the use of loans, the students in the upper grades love the shared community we have built, and they have a strong desire to exchange knowledge and communication with each other. But the students in the lower grades..."
When Penello said this, he closed his mouth, only shook his head slightly, the meaning was already clear.
"It seems that our aid agencies will only have a counterproductive effect on students who are too young. So let's stop providing loans to students under the fourth grade, and raise the upper limit of loans for senior students."
"Understood, I will implement it."
Under Franklin's dull eyes, Mike and Penello completed the future planning of the student aid plan, but Mike did not stop talking at this time, and then said:
"Well, the first thing is over. Let's start today's serious business. Regarding new members, do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
When Mike finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Franklin who was aside, and Franklin who noticed Mike's gaze immediately woke up from a daze. After realizing that Mike was asking him, he quickly shook his head like a rattle.
Mike turned his gaze to Penello again, only to see Penello raised her slender forearm and slowly said:
"I recommend Soraka as our new member."
Hearing what Penello said, Mike stood up immediately, raised his voice and said:
"Soraka? The doctor who likes to tear people apart?"
"Yes, I think Soraka is a good candidate. She has a very high talent in therapy and has a good personality. All the loans we lent her before were used by her to improve herself... The important thing is that she has friendship with us."
After listening to Penello quietly, Mike slowly raised his lowered head and asked: "What did she do with the loan?"
Penello was silent now, and after a long time he said, "I bought a lot of corpses for autopsy."
‘Is it true? ’
Mike thought about this, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and after thinking about it for a long time, he agreed to Penello's proposal. After all, Soraka had the ability besides being a little abnormal, so he said:
"Then we will start voting, and those who agree to Soraka will raise their hands."
After that, he raised his hand first.
This is a system negotiated by Mike, Penello and others. Every member of the Freemason must be recommended by an old member and voted by all members of the Freemason. Only more than half of the members can join.
Penello naturally supported Soraka, so Franklin's vote didn't matter.
"Then Soraka is tentatively appointed as a member of the Freemasonry. Next, Penello, you can contact her." Mike spread his hand and said, "I have someone to recommend here, Brother Weasley. Although these two people are not very strong, they have great talents in invention and creation, and I have a good friendship with them."
"But they are pure blood."
Franklin frowned and asked.
Mike is really speechless for this black brother, but since they are already grasshoppers on the same rope, he can only explain patiently:
"Franklin, our organization is not a Muggle wizarding group. We support wizards of Muggle origin only because they can bring us more benefits. In principle, we do not exclude people of any descent from joining. We want to Unite all the forces that can be united."
Franklin nodded thoughtfully, then raised his hand before Mike announced the start of voting.
Mike also raised his hand when he saw it.
Ever since, Penello's vote also lost its meaning.
So far, the first summary meeting of Freemasonry officially ended, and after the meeting, the three of Mike returned to Ravenclaw together.
Three days later, Hogwarts Castle has been put on a new outfit. Professor Flitwick, who loves to decorate the party, took the students who planned to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas and arranged Hogwarts into an ice kingdom.
Not only was the auditorium filled with ribbons and balloons, but even the monster statues that looked terrifying in the past were put on Christmas hats by the students, and they looked a little more cute.
Mike stood in front of the entrance to the Gryffindor lounge, looking at the portrait of Sir Cardo in front of him, quite speechless.
Since being attacked by Black, the fat lady who was the original doorman in the Gryffindor lounge is resolutely no longer willing to take up this dangerous job. Not only her, but most of the portraits in Hogwarts are unwilling to do it.
In desperation, Professor McGonagall could only choose Sir Kado, who volunteered.
Sir Cardo is a brave knight, but with a problem in his mind, he will ride his fat gray horse to challenge everyone who passes by him.
At this moment, he was provoking Mike, hoping that Mike could accept his challenge.
Mike didn't know the password for the lounge, so he could only stay here and wait for the other Gryffindor classmates to enter and leave, so as to rub the password.
"Mike!? Long time no see."
A somewhat familiar voice came, and Mike turned his head to see a fat man looking at him in surprise.
"Navi? You just came here, I have been standing here for almost half an hour, just read the password and let me in."
The simple Neville asked Mike about his intentions at all, and after a cry, he took out a piece of paper full of words and began to read:
"Broken glass, dragon gen, dragon ball, cold blood..."
Mike on the side looked a little silly, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, Sir Cardo has to change his password at least twice a day. I can't remember it at all, so I just copied down all the passwords he set before~EbookFREE.me~ I hope I can get it right."
Mike: "..."
It turns out that Mike's luck was pretty good. Sir Cardo finally opened the entrance when Neville read the 41st password.
Neville was very happy when he got the password right. He wanted to share his joy with Mike, but Mike didn't have the time to pay attention to him at all and went straight to the Weasley brothers' bedroom.
All the roommates of the Weasley brothers had gone home, so Mike closed the door and began to explain about the Freemasonry after a few moments with the Weasley brothers.
After half an hour, Mike finally explained the general role of Freemasonry and the rights and obligations of each member to the two, taking a deep breath, and said:
"As I said before, this is a very small but extremely united organization. Now I sincerely invite you to join."
The Weasley brothers looked at each other, and then said in unison:
"We have no problem with swearing an unbreakable oath. It's all you need to do, boss.
"Then when the holiday is over, we will hold an initiation ceremony for you."
