Harry Potter: Raven's Claw Chapter 257 Ready to Honor
Mike swears that this is the most special letter he has ever received.
There is nothing peculiar about the envelope used to hold the letter, and in terms of gorgeousness, it is not even as good as the letter Fudge sent him.
But the letter paper in it is different.
As soon as Mike opened the letter paper, he smelled a refreshing fragrance, and then a soft light began to bloom on the letter paper. A few elves with shining light wings suddenly appeared, confidently flying on the paper, dancing and singing. Shining light and dust were thrown at Mike.
The real text on the letter paper slowly appeared in front of Mike under the soft white light.
Mike, who received this magic letter for the first time, was a little dull.
He kept closing and opening the letter, closing and opening.
With his movements, the white light, the elves, and the words on the letter paper also disappeared and reappeared.
Mike didn't confirm until this moment that everything he saw was virtualized by magic, and the 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 text on the letter paper seriously.
As expected by Mike, this was indeed an invitation to inform him to go to the Ministry of Magic to accept the award.
Unlike ordinary invitation letters, the staff of the Ministry of Magic not only marked the time, but also rudely stated the clothes that participants should wear.
Formal wear.
The requirements of the Ministry of Magic for the costumes of the honorees are only these two simple words.
It was these simple words that made Mike a little confused.
He knows the formal wear of Muggle society. In addition to the unique clothing of each nation and country, the most widely used suit is probably the suit.
But what is the formal dress of the wizarding society? Magic robe?
In desperation, Mike could only come to Professor Flivy's office.
In the office, Professor Flivy was correcting the students' test papers. When Mike knocked on the door and entered, his originally slightly serious face immediately bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
"Hahaha, Mike, your test this time is really good, I want to give you a big a!"
"Thank you, professor." Mike thanked him and quickly asked his own question. "Professor, do you know what wizards' formal attire is?"
Flitwick obviously didn't expect Mike to ask him this kind of question, a surprised look appeared on his face, and the pen he was reviewing the test paper also stopped.
"There are many types of wizards' formal outfits, from the wizard robes handed down from the Middle Ages to the modern dresses, etc. If I list them all for you, I am afraid it will be dark." Professor Flivy said, "You Why do you suddenly start to ask about this, Penello's parents want to see you? That's not right. Her parents are Muggles, so you should wear Muggle suits."
Ignoring Professor Flitwick’s second half of the joke, Mike handed the invitation letter to Professor Flitwick and said:
"It's such a professor. I won a Merlin Class II Medal because of Black."
Professor Flitwick was obviously shocked by the news. He took the envelope handed by Mike and opened it for a long time before saying excitedly:
"It's great! This is one of the highest honors a wizard can get!"
A smile appeared on Mike's face, he could feel the pure joy of Professor Flitwick, and he was sincerely happy for himself.
"Is the day the day after tomorrow? This time is too short, there is no time for custom dresses and wizard robes! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Professor Flivy paced back and forth in the office excitedly, and then began to search again. He set up his own wardrobe, and he kept turning out the gorgeous robes and throwing them on the floor of the office. "No! My robes are all specially made in size. You can't wear them at all. What can I do? what!"
Mike looked at Professor Flivy, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why Flivy was so excited. This was just a second-level medal of Sir Merlin.
At this moment, Professor Flitwick glanced back and forth on Mike as if suddenly remembering something. After a while, he patted his forehead and said in surprise:
"Why am I so stupid! Don't you wear formal clothes now?"
"But... this is just a school uniform."
"You have to remember your identity! You are now a student besides being a wizard! And what else can a student's formal wear be besides a school uniform? This is the student's advantage!" Professor Flivy said proudly, "You It should be the youngest second-level Merlin Medal winner, I have never thought that a young wizard like you has won this kind of glory before!"
Mack shyly scratched his hair and didn't say anything about the value of this medal. He knew that Professor Flivy didn't even have a third-level medal. If he said something owing to him, Then he would really hit himself.
When he got the answer he wanted, Mike was about to leave. He could see that Professor Flitwick still had a lot of work to deal with.
But Professor Flitwick was obviously not going to let him go just like that. He started dressing up for Mike like an old father whose son was about to go for the first interview.
After a while, I put a golden eagle brooch on Mike’s chest, and then turned up the blue tie that symbolizes Ravenclaw at Mike’s neckline. But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that this was too ugly and gave Turn it over again...
...
Inside the auditorium two days later.
In the past two days, the news that Mike and Snape received the second-level Merlin Medal has spread throughout Hogwarts. Today, almost all professors and students, except Professor Bins of the History of Magic, came to the auditorium to send off. Mike and Snape.
The two of them will go to the Ministry of Magic with Dumbledore.
When Mike came to the auditorium, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.
There is no reason for him, the school uniform on him is really coquettish.
Professor Flitwick seemed to want to take the opportunity of Mike’s award to promote Ravenclaw Academy to the wizards who participated in the award, so he used Mike as an advertising display board, and would try his best to ensure beauty. Many Ravenclaw logos were placed on Mike's body.
At this moment Mike, except for the eagle brooch on his chest and the blue tie on the neckline, even the cuffs are faintly blue.
Of course, this dress is pretty handsome to be honest, Mike is also quite satisfied with it, but Professor McGonagall obviously doesn't think much.
She frowned the first time Mike appeared, because Mike's outfit was clearly against school regulations, and Hogwarts did not allow students to make such modifications to school uniforms.
But since today is Mike's day of rejoicing, she didn't say anything.
Compared to Mike, the robes of Dumbledore and Snape were much lower-key.
Dumbledore wore the usual off-white robe as always. Mike understood this very well. After all, at the level of Old Deng, it didn't matter what he was wearing. No one would accuse a legendary wizard of disheveled clothes.
They even feel that this is a trend, and they follow suit.
And Snape obviously prefers black. At this moment, he is wearing a pure black robe. Compared to attending the honor ceremony, Mike thinks that he is more suitable for the funeral.
It is worth mentioning that Professor Snape finally washed his hair today!
Mike was by no means the only one who discovered this. In fact, many professors, including many professors, were staring at Snape's silky hair.
Mike even discovered that even Dumbledore was swiping on Snape's head intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, everyone was surprised at Professor Snape's shampooing.
Mike was no exception. He once maliciously speculated whether Snape's dislike of washing his hair was related to the Potter family.
Because the most widely used hair softener in the British wizarding world is the industry of the Porter family.
It seemed that there shouldn't be much relationship between the two, Snape might just be sloppy.
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Following Dumbledore's order, the gate of the castle opened automatically, and a night horse carriage was parked outside waiting for them.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Mike followed Dumbledore and Snape into the carriage.
The carriage started slowly, and the cheers of the classmates faded away. Dumbledore looked at the somewhat cramped Mike and said:
"Don't be nervous, this is just a very simple little ceremony."
Mike dryly 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 to Snape Dumbledore, who hadn't said a word since appearing in the auditorium, he was obviously more willing to talk to Mike. The smile on his face became brighter and he said:
"I want to thank you, Mike. Both Black and Lupin are my good students, and I am very grateful that you can bring them to justice."
Just as Mike was about to say something polite, Snape snorted suddenly.
Dumbledore glanced at Snape, and smiled undiminished when he saw that he didn't intend to speak, "I heard that you got a lot of magic books from Black?"
"Yes, Professor. Those books are precious knowledge. I have sorted them and shared them with those who need it."
Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Mike said.
He knew what Dumbledore's idea was, and if he followed his words and continued to answer, he would use the dark magic knowledge in it to take back those books if he wasn't sure, which Mike couldn't tolerate.
Sure enough, after hearing Mike say this, Dumbledore stopped talking, presumably he had also noticed that Mike did not intend to hand over the knowledge.
In fact, he didn't have any malicious intentions, and he didn't mean to rob his students' property. He just felt that little wizards like Mike should not come into contact with those black magic.
Now since Mike didn't want him to intervene, then he didn't plan to do more.
He didn't think this would have any negative effects on Mike. From what he knew about Mike, although Mike looked like a child, he had matured in mind.
Such a mature and smart person is very difficult to be controlled by black magic.
As for whether Mike would become a new generation of Dark Lord, Dumbledore didn't believe it.
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 in their teenage years, but the result? In the end, although these people have become big figures in the wizarding world, but Voldemort is the only one who truly compares him and Grindelwald.
What's more, Mike is still a Muggle-born wizard...
Dumbledore fell into deep thought without knowing it, and he didn’t speak. Mike and Snape couldn’t speak. So in this almost weird silence, Wild Qi stopped in the parking lot of the Ministry of Magic. .
Perhaps due to Dumbledore's coming this time, it was Fudge, Minister of Magic, who came to greet them.
He moved his two elephant legs laboriously, and enthusiastically led Mai and others into the Ministry of Magic.
If you look at the bright smile on his face, you can hardly imagine that he and Dumbledore 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. He did not ignore Mike 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 is undoubtedly gracious. If anyone were to be treated this way by the famous Minister of Magic, he would be grateful, but Mike's heart did not fluctuate.
For these politicians, Mike had already seen through.
The first one is the other, the next is the other. I was still chatting and laughing with you in the last second, and in the next second I can stabb you without changing his face.
This is the true portrayal of this kind of person who laughs and hides the knife!
Thanks to Fudge's leadership ~EbookFREE.me~ Mike and others didn't need to line up at all, they took the magic elevator to the floor where the honoring ceremony was held.
As soon as he arrived here, Mike grew his mouth in surprise, and saw that the busy office floor in the past is now set up as a dinner party. The staff in hurried work clothes are all gone. Instead, there are many men and women in gorgeous dresses.
The arrival of Mike and his party immediately attracted everyone's attention. An old man was greeted with a smile while holding a red wine glass, and he shouted far away from Mike and others:
"Professor Dumbledore! It's been a long time!"
The visitor Dumbledore obviously knew each other, and the relationship between the two should be pretty good, because Dumbledore's face burst into a bright smile the moment he saw the visitor.
And this smile was obviously much more real than when he first faced Fudge.
"Newt, it's been a long time since I saw you!"
