Chapter 312: Scumbag Zhou Hong

When Mike woke up the next day and saw the sapphire necklace hanging on his bedside, a smile appeared on his face again.

Don't get me wrong, Mike was not happy because he got the Heart of the Ocean. What really made him laugh was that he solved the difficult problem that Dumbledore asked last night with his perfect acting skills. Mike

was sure of this.

Because when he left, Dumbledore was as happy as an old drunkard who got a big bottle of whiskey for free.

He even forced a bunch of candies on Mike, not worrying that Mike would get cavities because of eating too much candy.

In fact, he didn't need to worry about this at all, because although there were no dentists in the wizarding world, cavities were not a big problem here. You just need to drink a whole bottle of milk tooth potion.

Of course, this is not a good experience.

Within a few days after drinking the milk tooth potion, new milk teeth will emerge from your gums and push out your cavities. This process is often painful and bloody.

Shaking his head, Mike retracted his divergent thoughts and flipped out of the bed.

After getting dressed and washing up, Mike once again looked at the necklace.

Although he didn't care much about the necklace, it would be a great gift for Penelope.

Thinking of this, Mike snapped his fingers.

"Master! Shuke will obey your orders."

The house elf Shuke appeared out of thin air in the bedroom.

"Invite Penelope to have dinner with me tonight. Let's set the location in the Masonic Secret Realm." Mike pointed at the Heart of the Ocean necklace and said, "Oh, by the way. Wash this thing by the way. It has a strong fishy smell. Then find a box to put it in. I don't need to teach you what kind of box to choose."

"Understood, Master!"

Listening to Shuke's shrill voice, Mike nodded with satisfaction, took out a few cockroaches and stuffed them into his mouth, then walked to the door, saying as he walked:

"Well, I'm leaving. If I don't leave now, I'll be late for class. You should hurry up. If you don't have enough time, go find Beta and Winky and the others."

After that, Mike trotted out of the Ravenclaw Common Room without waiting for Shuke to reply.

Mike was not lying. He was really going to be late.

As a warrior, Mike did not have to take the final exam, so Mike did not spend too much time on studying this school year, and he often slept in class.

At the same time, many professors turned a blind eye to Mike's performance in class because Mike was bringing honor to Hogwarts.

But Professor McGonagall was definitely not one of these professors.

This stubborn lady had not tried to change her rigid character recently, and even became worse because of Ms. Maxim.

As a result, Transfiguration became the only class that Mike dared not be late for.

Running all the way to the Transfiguration classroom, Mike saw that the classroom was already full of people, and Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, staring at Mike at the door of the classroom with her always serious eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall! I seem to be late."

Mike said awkwardly.

He knew Professor McGonagall's character very well, and it was useless to make excuses in front of her, so he simply admitted his mistake.

"No, you're not late yet." Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly, "There are still about 5 seconds before the class officially starts (McGonagall glanced at the magic clock on the wall)."

Mike was overjoyed when he heard this. This was a rare benefit of having a rigid personality. Although Professor McGonagall was never merciful in punishing students who made mistakes, as long as you didn't break the school rules, she wouldn't take revenge even if you annoyed her. This was much better than Snape.

Mike ran into the classroom at the fastest speed in his life and sat down in the seat that Franklin had reserved for him.

"My God, you're almost late. This is Professor McGonagall's class. If you're really late, she will definitely ask you to clean the girls' bathroom." Franklin asked in a low voice, "Did you delay because of something?"

"I overslept."

Mike perfunctorily responded to Franklin and placed the wand and the Transfiguration textbook on the desk.

"Oh! Our warriors can also oversleep, this is really..."

Franklin instinctively raised his voice as if he had heard some shocking news, but before he finished speaking, he heard Professor McGonagall on the podium say in a cold voice:

"No noise in class, Mr. Clinton, because of you, Ravenclaw will be deducted 5 points!"

Franklin's face turned green all of a sudden, and he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. Mike beside him laughed secretly, and then hurriedly sat up and listened attentively.

Today's topic is human body transformation.

Of course, this is just a theoretical class, not letting students really transform the human body, which is too dangerous.

In fact, this class was not originally on Professor McGonagall's teaching plan, but Krum's half-shark form in yesterday's Triwizard Tournament made many people have a strong interest in human body transformation. In order to prevent these ignorant and fearless students from rashly conducting dangerous human body transformation experiments and causing disasters, Professor McGonagall could only temporarily change her teaching plan and give all students a popular science class on human body transformation.

Professor McGonagall was kind, but her students didn't appreciate it.

At first, when Professor McGonagall told everyone about today's topic, everyone in the classroom showed joy on their faces, but when the students found out that what Professor McGonagall said was all warnings about not to change shape at will instead of detailed transformation methods of human body Transfiguration, they began to slack off.

Mike was naturally one of the slacking off team.

But unlike the other team members, he didn't have much interest in human body Transfiguration. He didn't

plan to practice in the short term.

And when he slacked off, he found out that the class with Ravenclaw today was actually Gryffindor.

Hermione was listening to Professor McGonagall's lecture attentively at the moment, and she would write down her notes from time to time.

Whenever Professor McGonagall asked questions to the students, Hermione was always the first to raise her hand, but Professor McGonagall would not let Hermione answer the questions every time.

This is because Hermione always gets extra points for answering the questions correctly. If she is asked to answer every time, it is obviously unfair to the students of Ravenclaw.

Therefore, sometimes even though Hermione raised her hand, Professor McGonagall would ignore her and choose students from Ravenclaw to answer the questions, so that the students from the two colleges would answer the questions the same number of times.

Harry and Ron, who were not far from Hermione, were not so focused.

They obviously stayed up late yesterday, and now they all looked drowsy.

Of course, they didn't dare to fall asleep, otherwise Professor McGonagall would definitely let them know why the flowers were so red.

As the bell rang, the two consecutive Transfiguration classes finally ended.

At this time, Ron also regained his vitality. He excitedly told a few curious girls beside him about his experience underwater yesterday.

There were many people interested in this matter, and soon a large group of people gathered around Ron.

"Tsk! A clown who is just trying to attract attention!" A Ravenclaw boy said disdainfully, "I really don't know what he is so proud of! Now the first place in the competition is Mike!"

Looking at Ron, who was flushed with excitement in the crowd, he became more and more angry.

He came up with a plan to bring glory back to Ravenclaw. "Hey! Mike!" He deliberately shouted at Mike who was about to leave the classroom, "Tell us more about what you did under the Black Lake yesterday. We are all very curious!"

As soon as these words came out, the people who had originally gathered around Ron immediately dispersed and surrounded Mike.

This made Ron a little overwhelmed. He stared at all this in a daze, and then covered his face and left after a while.

From the sound, it sounded like crying.

Mike in the crowd frowned. Unlike Ron, he did not like this kind of boastful storytelling behavior.

The Ravenclaw boy who shouted the words observed Mike's expression very sharply. He quickly covered his mouth with a look of regret.

He now realized that he had caused trouble and seemed to have caused trouble for Mike.

He tried his best to explain to everyone that it was just a joke, and wanted the crowd to disperse, but no one listened to him. The crowd had already surrounded Mike, so how could they let him go easily?

Helplessly, he could only squeeze to Mike's side and explained with regret:

"Sorry, Mike! I didn't mean it, I just wanted to..."

"It's not your fault, Butch." Mike had a gentle smile on his face, "This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, so you don't have to take it to heart, and I don't mean to blame you."

After saying that, Mike turned around and began to tell everyone about what happened yesterday.

The Ravenclaw student named Butch looked at Mike in the crowd with red eyes and remained silent for a long time.

He was very moved, not because Mike didn't blame him, but because Mike could actually call out his name.

You know, he is just a little transparent in Ravenclaw College, and he has only talked to Mike a few times. He really didn't expect Mike to remember his name.

Mike on the other side didn't pay any attention to Butch's situation. At this moment, he was telling the story with passion, but people couldn't get enough of it and kept asking him to tell it again.

This made Mike very distressed. It was already time for dinner. He had eaten two cockroach piles for breakfast and was already starving.

In the critical moment, Hermione stood up.

She squeezed into the crowd roughly, took Mike's hand and started to walk out.

Mike's eyes lit up with an excuse, and he quietly used the left-right separation spell to bounce away all the people in front of them.

Hermione pulled Mike and ran until they stopped near the auditorium.

Mike smiled and was about to say some words of thanks, but he didn't expect that Hermione turned around with a face full of anger.

"What's wrong with you? Did someone make you angry?"

Mike asked with a smile.

"Oh! There are so many people who make me angry. Those bastards harass me 24 hours a day just because I am Krum's favorite baby!" Hermione said angrily, "Of course, I didn't come to you because of this! But because of Hong Zhou!"

"Hong Zhou? Oh! You mean Zhou Hong, right? Benjamin's younger brother. What's wrong, did he do some terrible prank again?"

"Prank! I don't think it's just a prank!"

Mike's eyes narrowed when he heard it. He knew Zhou Hong's origin. Although he looked like a little boy, Zhou Hong was essentially a terrifying creature with the power of Dementors. Even if Hermione said that Zhou Hong killed people, he would not be surprised at all.

"Tell me in detail."

Hermione took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth: "Hong Zhou, he plays with women's feelings!" As

soon as this was said, the scene fell into a strange silence.

Mike's originally serious expression turned into a living white version of a black question mark expression.

"You heard right! He played with the feelings of my good friend Scarlett!" Hermione said angrily, "He made Scarlett hopelessly in love with him, and then abandoned her!"

"But... he is only 12 years old this year..."

"Yes! He is such a scumbag at the age of 12! I can't imagine what he will become in the future!"

"Um, can I ask how old Scarlett is?"

"She is the same age as me!" Hermione said coldly.

"Wait! I still don't understand what's going on." Mike frowned and said, "You mean... Zhou Hong cheated on a senior girl's feelings... Oh! I see, you are kidding me, right? But it's only February now, isn't it too early for your April Fool's joke?"

"I'm not kidding! Okay! Let me tell you the details of what happened!" Hermione said, "It was during the Christmas dance. Scarlett had some conflicts with her dance partner and was very sad, so Zhou Hong came out to comfort her. After that, he cared about her every day. Scarlett was very moved and gradually fell in love with Zhou Hong. But not long ago, when Scarlett was about to confess to Zhou Hong, Zhou Hong publicly stated that he would never be with Scarlett!"

"Oh, this is really... really..."

Mike kept saying it for a long time but couldn't find the right words to use here.

Seeing this, Hermione exhaled deeply and said:

"Okay, I know Benjamin is your friend. So please tell Benjamin to ask Zhou Hong to apologize to Scarlett!"

After that, Hermione left without looking back, leaving Mike alone in the wind.

Before Hermione spoke, Mike had imagined many possibilities, such as Zhou Hong killed someone, Zhou Hong detonated a dung bomb in the lounge, and so on.

But he never expected that Hermione would tell him that Zhou Hong had become a scumbag, and the other party was a senior student.

Mike felt that his worldview was impacted. Are

young people nowadays so good at playing?

And Mike didn't react from the shock of this incident for the whole day.

He had no choice but to notify Benjamin through the Masonic gold coin and let him take Zhou Hong to the secret realm tonight.

Mike planned to have a good chat with Zhou Hong before the candlelight dinner with Penelope.
