Chapter 186 Percy is missing

"Great, the duel champion badge." Ron murmured as he looked at the badge in Mike's hand, "It's a pity that it's a joint championship, otherwise I could win money."

Ron just finished speaking when he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and immediately covered his mouth.

"What do you mean by winning money? You guys also opened a gambling game?" Mike put down the badge and asked.

Hearing Mike's question, Hermione jumped out of the corner and said, "Yes, Lockhart opened the gambling game! Professor Flitwick, you have to take good care of them! As a student of Hogwarts, they actually went to 'do a doctorate'!"

Hermione originally wanted Professor Flitwick to teach Harry and Ron a lesson, but to her surprise, Professor Flitwick didn't seem to care about it.

"Um, Hermione, actually I also bet on this game, 10 Galleons, on Mike to win." Professor Flitwick said somewhat awkwardly, "But Ron, it's not right for underage wizards like you to bet, don't do it again."

Hermione's face turned dark immediately after these words came out, and finally she stamped her feet hard and ran out of the ward.

Ron and the others breathed a sigh of relief, because being caught by the professor while studying for a doctorate was really too stressful.

"You all bet on me to win? How much did you bet?" Mike asked expressionlessly.

"I bet five Knuts, which is all I have. In fact, I only wanted to bet one Knut, but to be honest, I feel sorry for you. I misunderstood you last time in the Gryffindor common room." Ron said, "Franklin bet one silver Sickle, Penelope five, and Harry, he bet a full gold Galleon. Unfortunately, you tied, and now it's all gone."

After Ron finished speaking, everyone in the ward showed a look of pain on their faces, even Professor Flitwick's face was no exception. He bet a full 100 gold Galleons to support his students.

Although Mike's expression on his face remained unchanged, a flame burned in his heart.

He should have thought of it long ago. No matter what kind of sport or game, after it develops to a certain scale, there will definitely be a gambling industry, from traditional football, basketball to the new e-sports games.

And this time he and Cedric tied, and you can tell with your ass that Lockhart must have made a lot of money as a dealer.

'You're really good at treating me as a tool to make money, Lockhart!'

Mike thought to himself, but he still kept a blank expression. He decided to talk to Lockhart after he recovered from his injury.

Talk about his share of the matter.

"How is Cedric?"

After making up his mind, Mike finally thought of his opponent Cedric.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Cedric's problem is very difficult. His condition is much more serious than yours." Madam Pomfret curled her lips and said, "I think that duel competition should not be held at all. It was just a bunch of people who are looking for trouble!"

When they heard her say this, Franklin and others also showed curiosity on their faces, while Professor Flitwick showed an embarrassed look on his face. He was also one of those people who were looking for trouble as Madam Pomfret said.

It's not that no one has visited Cedric these days, but Madam Pomfret refused everyone's visit on the grounds that the patient needed to rest, so no one knew how Cedric was doing now except Madam Pomfret and the people who were involved in the treatment.

"The injuries he suffered in the game are not that bad. Although they are a little serious, they are only some physical injuries." Madam Pomfret sighed and said, "The trouble is his Transfiguration. He used the Transfiguration that he has not yet fully mastered without permission, and it is the kind of complete transformation. Even Professor McGonagall cannot recover from this Transfiguration immediately. So he is still in the appearance of a honey badger."

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became dull. Cedric was well-known for his good popularity in Hogwarts and had a good relationship with everyone present. Now everyone felt uncomfortable when they suddenly heard that Cedric's problem was so difficult.

"Uh-huh! Okay, classmates, the visiting time is over. You should leave. The exam is coming soon. You should review well!"

Perhaps because he found that the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became quiet, Professor Flitwick opened his mouth and issued an order to expel them.

Although Penelope and the others were still a little reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Professor Flitwick's order. After saying goodbye to Mike, they followed Madam Pomfret and Soraka out of the ward.

As the door was closed, only Mike and Professor Flitwick were left in the ward.

"Professor, do you have anything to say?"

"Uh, yes, I have bad news to tell you." Professor Flitwick said awkwardly, "Percy is missing..."

"What! Escaped!" Mike interrupted Professor Flitwick before he finished speaking, "Isn't he under close surveillance by the professors? How could he run away?"

"Don't get excited, listen to me. We did carry out very close surveillance on Percy, and we also tested and questioned him.

But his behavior was normal, so we relaxed our surveillance on him. After all, you know, professors are also human beings, and there will be times when they let down their guard." Although what

Professor Flitwick said made sense, Mike didn't buy it.

"Please! Don't we have Legilimency? Wouldn't it be enough to use it on him and we'll know everything? If that doesn't work, we can always ask Professor Snape for Veritaserum!"

"That's the problem, Mike! After we got the information about the Horcrux from you, we used Legilimency on Percy the first time, but to no avail. That's why we relaxed our surveillance on Percy." Professor Flitwick explained, "As for Veritaserum, although Snape also proposed to use it, Dumbledore didn't agree to use it on Percy because it has the side effect of turning the user into an idiot, because he is still a student at Hogwarts."

Mike was speechless as soon as he said this. This was indeed Dumbledore's style. He was extremely caring for his students and couldn't bear to let them get hurt.

But this kind of kindness is good for oneself, but it's a bit stupid to use it on the enemy.

Mike began to understand the frustration of Snape, the decisive double agent, staying with Dumbledore. Sometimes, things could be solved by just taking a dose of Veritaserum, but Dumbledore insisted that they take a big detour to solve them.

"Now it seems that Percy should have mastered the brain occlumency technique, and his level is not low." Professor Flitwick saw that Mike was silent and continued, "We should have used Veritaserum directly at the beginning. Unfortunately, it's too late to say it now."

"So what are you going to do next?"

Mike said expressionlessly. He had just figured it out. Although Percy's escape was troublesome, it was just troublesome.

Because his escape proved what Mike said before, Dumbledore and others would definitely do their best to find him.

How terrifying is it for a legendary wizard to chase him with all his strength?

Mike didn't know.

But Mike knew very well that he would not be able to escape with his current strength. Similarly, Percy would not be able to escape, even if he had the help of Voldemort's soul.

"You don't have to worry too much. Percy doesn't know that you told us about him, so he may not come here to attack you." Professor Flitwick squeezed out a stiff smile and said to Mike, "Even if he comes, you don't have to be afraid. We have arranged people to protect you. If he really comes, he will fall into the trap.

Okay, I won't disturb you to recover from your injuries. I wish you a speedy recovery. Don't forget that the exam will be in more than a month. I don't want to see you fail then."

After saying that, Professor Flitwick patted Mike on the shoulder and left the ward, leaving Mike alone lying on the bed.

As soon as Professor Flitwick left, Mike started to sense magic. He saw two senior Ravenclaw students standing at the door of the ward after Professor Flitwick walked out. It seemed that these were the people that Professor Flitwick had sent to protect Mike.

After retracting his sense, Mike showed a disdainful smile on his face.

He saw the strength of the two people outside the door very clearly. Although they were already good among the senior students of Hogwarts, they were much worse than the level of Mac Cedric. If Percy really came to attack him, then these two guys would have no way out. And it seemed that these two people were arranged by Professor Flitwick because he was worried about him.

This means that Dumbledore had no intention of arranging people to protect him.

What was he trying to do?

Did he really not care about his own safety or was he fishing with himself to lure Percy to attack so that he could catch him without any effort?

Either way, he was playing a joke on Mike's life.

"Haha, it really looks like Dumbledore's style."

Mike sneered. In fact, he was not afraid of Percy launching any attack on him, because although he was injured, they were all physical injuries, which means that the magic power in his body was still in full swing.

And he also had the duel champion badge, the battle wand cover and the raven Papi.

With so many back-ups, it would be completely useless for Percy to attack him. After all, the soul in the notebook in Percy's hand was just made by Voldemort when he was a teenager, and its strength was not strong.

Thinking of this, Mike sneered and put on all the equipment such as the greed pendant, the battle wand cover and the newly acquired duel champion badge.

"Papi."

"Hey!"

A light mist floated out from the greed pendant and quickly condensed into a black raven in the air.

The raven Papi circled in the air for a while, and finally landed on the edge of the wooden bed and looked at Mike quietly.

"Papi, enter the fog raven state and guard the room. If anything strange comes in, attack directly." Mike yawned and said, "I'm a little tired. I need to sleep for a while."

"Got it, you troublesome human!"

Raven Papi replied to Mike impatiently, and shook his body and turned into a light mist and floated into the shadow of the room.

Mike picked up the magic wand and waved it violently at the window. The heavy curtains on both sides of the window stretched out, blocking all the warm spring sunshine outside the window.

Seeing that the room had returned to darkness, Mike nodded slightly, pressed the quilt again and closed his eyes.

The previous series of events made Mike's emotions fluctuate greatly, which consumed a lot of his mind for Mike, a wounded soldier who had not yet fully recovered from his injuries, so Mike, who was lying on the bed, fell into a dream not long after.

However, what Mike didn't know was that outside his ward, a little mouse was quietly staring at his door in the corner of the corridor.

The little mouse ran quickly in the corridor, avoiding the flow of people and rushed directly to Mike's door.

But just when he was about to get into the room through the crack of the door, a big foot stepped on its tail.

This was the guard sent by Professor Flitwick to protect Mike. Professor Flitwick gave them the order that no creature was allowed to enter Mike's ward without his permission.

They never made any mistakes in Professor Flitwick's orders, so even if it was just a mouse, they would not let it enter Mike's room.

"Merlin's beard, a dirty mouse, so disgusting!"

The guard who stepped on the mouse's tail shook his head and drew out his wand to make this disgusting mouse disappear from this world.

But before he could recite the spell, another guard next to him grabbed his hand.

"Wait, this might be someone else's pet, just drive it away, don't kill it."

"Merlin's beard, who would keep a mouse as a pet these days?"

the guard retorted, but after thinking carefully, didn't Ron, the follower of the savior Harry, keep a mouse? So he raised his other foot and kicked the little mouse that was struggling madly with its tail stepped on.

With a scream, the little mouse was kicked away, and its tail was still stepped on by the guard.

The guard who kicked the mouse away seemed to have done something very funny and laughed loudly, while the other guard next to him looked at the broken mouse tail under his friend's feet and shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything else.

However, the little mouse that was kicked away did not run away as they imagined, but returned to the corner at the beginning, and continued to stare at Mike's door with a pair of small eyes, as if looking for an opportunity.

Time passed slowly. The sunshine time in early spring in England had not yet become too long, and the sun soon set.

As night fell, the flow of people coming and going in the Hogwarts Infirmary disappeared, and only the two competent guards were left in front of Mike's ward.

Of course, there was also our little mouse, Mr.
