Chapter 223: Starting train

In the next few days, Mike started the busiest moment of his vacation. Because school is about to start, the two Weasley brothers who were the company’s leadership and managing the factory will all go to school, including Mike, so Mike urgently needs one. The person who replaced him.
Although the two house elves, Shuke and Beta, have enough ability to manage the factory, and their loyalty is also very good.
But their social status predestined that they cannot act as leaders in such large factories.
Don't think that the employees of the factory are Muggle-born wizards. They don't care about social class. In fact, many wizards here care more about blood and class than those pure-blooded wizards.
In a word, they will jump out and hold high the banner of descent discrimination when it damages their interests, and when it is good for their interests, they will be deaf and mute.
This is similar to some people in today's society.
So Mike needs an agent, and the agent must be a human, even if he can't do anything, but as long as he is a human wizard, it is enough. Otherwise, the workers underneath will definitely be dishonest.
As a result, after careful consideration, Mike selected a few of the most loyal employees from each team to form an administrative department, with Harris Carter as the minister.
That's right, it was the good young man who was brave enough to fight for justice.
On the other hand, Mike is still taking all the time to practice the patron saint spell.
Having said that, I have to emphasize again that Mike is really busy now.
Swordsmanship training, meditation, mantra practice, Occlumency practice, Transfiguration practice...
This one thing after another gave him almost no time to rest. In desperation, Mike had to compress his sleep time. He now sleeps only four hours a day, which is far below the sleep indicator issued by the United Nations.
Fortunately, Mike is a wizard and a wizard with extremely powerful mental power. Let alone four hours, he can now rest well when he only sleeps two hours a day.
Regarding the patron saint spell, Mike had practiced alone for two days and found that the effect was too low, so he approached his teacher, Flivy.
Flitwick had no doubt about Mike's motivation to learn the Patronus Charm. As a professor at Hogwarts, he had known the news that the Dementors were about to settle in Hogwarts and told Mike about it.
And Mike was surprised that Professor Flivy knew how to use the patron saint spell and all kinds of tricks, as if he was a master of patron saint spell.
But when Mike looked down at Professor Flitwick with admiring eyes and asked excitedly what his patron saint was, Professor Flitwick was silent.
Mike asked a stupid question. Although Professor Flivy knew the patron saint curse, he did not practice to the point where he could release a complete patron saint.
This is very uncomfortable.
But Professor Flitwick was not a stingy person, and after a moment of silence, he still told Mike the reason.
It turns out that Professor Flivi has been learning the patron saint mantra since he was young, because the patron saint mantra represents a lofty status and virtue in addition to its practicality. However, no matter how hard he tried, how many teachers he consulted, and how much information he collected, he could not release a complete patron saint.
This made Professor Flivi very hurt, he even suspected that he had no so-called magic spell talent at all, and the patron saint curse became a thorn in Professor Flivi's heart.
So when Mike approached him for advice, he almost agreed without hesitation. He wanted to fulfill his wish on his apprentice.
Unfortunately, Mike's situation is similar to Flitwick.
In the few days left of the holiday, Flivy, the master of theory, conducted a brutal hellish training on Mike and taught him countless hearsay tips.
Under this intensity of training, Mike's patron saint curse has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the brightness of the patron saint curse released is directly upgraded from a flashlight to a white woven lamp.
But he still couldn't release the patron saint of the entity.
Finally, Professor Flivy finally despaired.
Mike was also very guilty about this. He felt that he had let Professor Flitwick down. Although Professor Flitwick did not say anything, Mike was still uncomfortable.
But he has no choice but to say that such things as curses are talented, especially for super-difficult curses such as the Patronus Curse. You will be able to do it if you know it. No, it will be difficult to master it in that lifetime. Up.
But Mike hasn't given up completely. Although he didn't say it, he still feels that Professor Flivy's teaching is not good. After all, a person who can't release the physical patron saint will teach you the patron saint. Curse, this is hard to convince.
So he decided to wait until Hogwarts before going to consult the patron saint masters in the school.
With this thought in mind, Mike, Harry and the Weasley family once again crossed the column of the platform to the nine-fourth station.
Today is the day when the school starts. The platform is very lively, and there are little wizards with luggage and parents who are worried about them.
Harry looked at the surprised Muggle new students who grew up and looked around, and said to Mike with a sigh, "Look, another new student. Remember? Mike, we were like this before."
Mike nodded perfunctorily and walked towards the train without looking back.
Hogwarts will welcome a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, Remus Lupin.
The new professor is a powerful wizard, a master of patron saint spells, and his patron saint is a wolf.
He is the patron saint curse teacher Mike found for himself. Mike is confident that as long as he has a good relationship with him, it should be a trivial matter to let him learn the patron saint curse for himself.
However, just as Mike hurriedly tried to get on the train to find the Professor Lupin, a voice suddenly rang from him.
"Mike, is that you?" Lucius Malfoy's voice sounded. "What a coincidence, we are about to send Xiaolong (Draco's nickname) to school."
Although he was impatient, Mike put on a smile and greeted the Malfoys.
"Good day, Mr. Lucius." Mike nodded.
"It's been a long time since I saw you that you have grown so tall. He is really a handsome young man. I don't know how many young girls will send you love letters in the future." Narcissa smiled and praised Mike, and she touched her. Laco's head said, "Our little dragon is too picky, otherwise he should start to grow taller."
"mom!"
Draco shook off his mother's hand uncomfortably, apparently his mother was uncomfortable doing it to him in front of Mike.
At this time, the Weasley family behind also noticed the situation on Mike’s side. As the Malfoy family’s deadly opponent, Mr. Weasley’s first reaction was that Mike was in trouble. Come up.
"Are you all right, Mike, did they embarrass you?"
"Don't worry about Mike, they can't treat you with us in there!"
Before Mr. Weasley could speak, the Weasley brothers were already anxious to help Mike out.
And the smile on Lucius's face disappeared the first time he saw the Weasleys, and he changed into that imposing pride and looked at the Weasleys again.
"Oh, look who this is, isn't this the poor Weasleys?" Lucius' eyes fixed on the Weasleys' luggage, then chuckled, "It looks like your trash father It's still useful, at least he bought a brand new book this year. Congratulations, I finally don't have to use second-hand books anymore."
Noting his gaze, Ginny hurriedly hid the book she had placed at the top of the suitcase. She didn't have the slightest affection for Lucius.
Mr. Weasley was directly angry, and went forward to grab Lucius's collar.
Seeing that a melee show was about to begin, Mrs. Weasley quickly grabbed him.
If they fight elsewhere, they will fight, but this is the nine and three-quarters station of Hogwarts. Fighting here is likely to affect their children.
And Lucius secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he was really afraid that Weasley, a reckless lunatic, would do something with him here.
This is not to say that Lucius is afraid of He Weasley, but that so many people here are watching. Their self-proclaimed Malfoy family mainly fights with others here or fights hand-to-hand. It's a loss of face.
Lucius is a clever man, knowing the meaning of just taking advantage of it, so he no longer entangles with the Weasley family too much, put on a smile and turned to look at Mike.
"Mike, you are a smart person, but in my opinion, your understanding of this world is still too shallow. In fact, there are differences between pure blood magic families, some families have a pure blood name but not pure blood. The strength and wealth of the blood nobles. Regarding this, I think I can help you."
Although Lucius didn't name him by name, his eyes kept squinting at the Weasleys. Some of the families he was talking about were self-evident.
Facing this kind of shame, the Weasley brothers had reached their limit of patience, and when they were about to go up and beat Lucius in front of them, Mike reached out and stopped them.
"Mr. Lucius, I think I can tell who is the best friend for me. Thank you for your kindness."
The Malfoy family’s faces were all black as soon as they heard this. Narcissa and Lucius were a little better. They were adults after all, but Draco was different. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Mike thought it was a little funny. Draco and Lucius were indeed father and son, and they were similar in what they said when wooing people.
Yes, the words he just used to answer Lucius were exactly what Harry said to Draco in the first grade.
"let's go!"
The dark-faced Lucius felt that he had no face, and now he couldn't take Mike and the others, so he took Draco and left.
When they left, the Weasleys and Harry cheered on the back.
"Mike, you are so cool!"
"Have you seen the expressions of the Malfoys just now, my god, that's so funny!"
...
They didn't suppress their own voices at all. Lucius heard the cheering behind him, suddenly tripped under his feet and almost fell to the ground.
After being delayed for a while by this episode, the train was about to start when Mike and the others checked in and got on the train.
Looking at the crowded carriages, Mike shook his head in embarrassment. It seems that it is difficult to find Professor Lupin today.
However, it was still looking for him. Mike looked for cars one by one. Unexpectedly, Lupin didn't find it but let him find Hermione and Penello who was keeping order next to Hermione's car.
Penello at work changed the tenderness when he was alone with Mike, his sonorous voice, showing the aura of a strong woman between his gestures.
Seeing this, Mike suddenly had an idea, thinking that maybe the official Penello would know Lupin's location, so he asked: "Penello, do you know where the new Professor Lupin is?"
"Lupin? You mean the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
"Yes."
Penello thought for a moment, and then said apologetically: "Sorry Mike, I didn't see him. But I can ask other students, there should be results."
Mike nodded in satisfaction, found a seat casually and sat down, watching Penello's busy schedule, feeling very emotional.
It would be great if there could be a secretary like Penello, who is capable and beautiful, and when there is a secretary to do, it's okay.
Thinking about it, Mike suddenly felt that there was a furry creature in his arms. When he looked down, he realized that it was Hermione’s flat-faced ugly cat~EbookFREE.me~ maybe because he noticed that Mike was watching him. , The big cat meowed at Mike twice.
Although the cat was a bit ugly, Mike didn't dislike it at all, and picked up the cat with a smile.
"Crookshanks!"
Hermione hurriedly ran out of the box, and at a glance he saw Crookshanks, who was rolling his belly and being kicked by Mike.
"His name is Crookshanks? What a weird name."
Seeing Hermione froze in place suddenly, Mike greeted her to prevent embarrassment. However, his words offended the kitten in his arms.
Crookshanks rolled his eyes very humanely, then jumped out of Mike's arms, and even grabbed Mike's hand before leaving.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I said something wrong."
The interaction of one person and one cat made Hermione laugh, and the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious. Hermione picked up Crookshanks again and asked:
"Do you like pets too."
"Of course, I like pets, and my favorite is dogs, especially black dogs."
Mike stopped abruptly when he said that and swallowed.
"Then why don't you keep a pet?"
He stopped Mike with this question. He couldn't tell her that he was afraid that he would have feelings after a long time?
Mike thought for a while before finally saying, "Actually, I have a pet."
"Oh? What is it? Can you show me?"
Hermione's eyes lit up all at once, and she liked little furry animals very much. When Mike saw this, he stopped the ink, touched the pendant between his neck, and whispered, "Come out, Papi."
A black light flashed, and Papi the Raven flew out of Mike's shirt and landed on Mike's shoulder with precision and grace.
