Chapter 363 Gift

"So, Professor McGonagall is looking for me?"

In the Ravenclaw Common Room, Mike, Franklin and others were huddled by the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire while looking at the trembling first-year student in front of them.

"Yes... yes." With so many people staring at him, the freshman was obviously a little panicked, but he still mustered up the courage and gritted his teeth and said, "Professor McGonagall said she wanted to find you after visiting Professor Umbridge, so... so I guess she must have suspected you, you must be careful when you go there this time!"

Mike and others looked at each other when they heard this, and Franklin and other Ravenclaws who participated in the action yesterday all showed panic on their faces.

Mike himself had a calm face, stood up, touched the freshman's head and said to everyone:

"It's okay, I'll just go there."

Mike walked out of the Ravenclaw Common Room, and Franklin and others thought about it, and finally gritted their teeth, worried that Mike would face it alone, and followed him out.

At this time, a large group of people had already gathered outside the Ravenclaw lounge. When they saw Mike and the mighty group of Ravenclaws behind him, they all cheered.

Some of them even shouted slogans to overthrow Umbridge. It seemed that almost everyone here had already determined that the person who attacked Umbridge last night was Mike.

Mike neither denied nor confirmed the cheers of these people. He just smiled and waved, and walked out of the crowd.

On the contrary, Franklin and others were immediately overwhelmed when they saw the cheering crowd. They began to interact crazily with the onlookers and even encouraged them to go to Professor McGonagall's office together.

So, when Mike finally arrived at the door of Professor McGonagall's office, nearly a hundred people had gathered behind him. Except for a few of these people who were Mike's extreme supporters, the rest were just there to watch the fun. But so many people gathered together, which still scared Professor McGonagall.

"Do you want to rebel?" Professor McGonagall's lips trembled with anger. "Go back to class!"

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was really angry, the crowd that was still noisy suddenly quieted down, but only a few people actually left the scene according to McGonagall's order. Most people saw that the people around them had no intention of leaving, so they also plucked up their courage and stood there without saying anything, but they had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall's body trembled more and more, and finally it was Mike who spoke, and these people finally dispersed.

"You are very good!"

Seeing that Mike dispersed the crowd here with an order, Professor McGonagall glared at Mike, threw down a sentence and walked into the office, while Mike didn't care, shook his head and followed him in.

It was Mike's first time to come to Professor McGonagall's office, so he couldn't help but look around.

Compared with other professors' offices, Professor McGonagall's office is very small, and the floor is paved entirely with gravel.

There is also a warm fire in the office, which makes this small office warm like spring.

Just as Mike was looking at this small office that was half a study room with great interest, Professor McGonagall turned to Mike and asked directly:

"Where were you from 9 to 12 last night?"

"I was sleeping in the dormitory, Professor McGonagall."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"I'm afraid that's impossible, because I live in a single dormitory and don't have a roommate."

Mike stood straight with his hands behind his back, not afraid of Professor McGonagall's question at all, and his face was calm.

Professor McGonagall nodded, his face eased a little, and he stretched out his hand from Mike:

"Give me your wand."

Mike didn't hesitate at all, and the blackthorn wand appeared in his hand with a flip of his palm. Then he held the wand with both hands and handed it to McGonagall.

McGonagall also took the wand with both hands, first looked at it, and then waved the wand without hesitation.

"Flashback spell!"

As McGonagall's voice echoed in the small office, a nearly invisible light shot out from the blackthorn wand.

The light moved very fast, hitting the office window in the blink of an eye.

Then, a gust of wind seemed to blow on the office window, and when the wind stopped, the dust that was originally attached to the glass disappeared, and the front glass was cleaned up.

McGonagall looked at Mike, and the latter answered before she could speak:

"The clean-up spell, I used it when I cleaned the dormitory this morning."

McGonagall nodded, and Mike's mouth curled up a little.

Flashback spell, this is a spell that can make the wand repeat the spell that was cast before.

Since most wizards in the world cannot cast spells without a wand, the Flashback spell is often used in interrogation work.

However, this doesn't work for Mike.

Because he didn't use a wand at all last night, and the other people who participated in this operation didn't use a wand either!

Professor McGonagall's Flashback spell was activated again.

This time there was no sound or light effect, but the cup of coffee that Professor McGonagall had placed on the table, which had been half drunk, was suddenly refilled.

"Refilling Charm, to refill the black tea I drank at breakfast."

McGonagall nodded again, and then continued to cast the Flashback Charm.

"Orchid Blooming Charm, I like to put a bunch of orchids before going to bed, the fragrance can improve my sleep quality; Spring Water Charm, for washing face; Extinguishing Charm, for turning off the lights;..."

Finally, when Mike's mouth was a little dry, Professor McGonagall finally returned the wand to Mike.

Then she gestured with her wand again, and then the orchids in the room, the refilled coffee, and all the phenomena caused by the Flashback Charm disappeared.

This move made Mike respect Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall used the Vanishing Charm just now, and it was a large-scale, targeted Vanishing Charm. This level of Vanishing Charm is not very powerful, but it shows Professor McGonagall's profound attainments in this spell.

"Okay, you can go."

Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly.

"Hmm?"

Mike had a confused expression on his face. He had expected that Professor McGonagall would conduct a more in-depth investigation into the matter, so he had done a lot of preparations, including colluding with Ravenclaw students to make false testimonies, starting the brain occlusion technique to prevent brain invasion, and even asking Benjamin to prepare a lot of resistance fluid for him in order to prevent Professor McGonagall from using truth serum on him in extreme cases.

But now Professor McGonagall actually let him go so casually, which was something Mike had never expected.

"What? Do you still want to stay here?"

"No! I'm leaving now!"

McGonagall's voice woke Mike up, and he also reacted. No matter why Professor McGonagall wanted to deal with the matter so easily, as long as the result was in his favor, he would be fine, and then he quickly left Professor McGonagall's office.

In a corner outside the office door, Franklin and others saw Mike coming out and quickly approached him.

"How is it? What did Professor McGonagall say?"

"It's okay," Mike said with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with us, what can happen to me?"

Hearing this, Franklin and others were stunned at first, and then they reacted and hurriedly said one after another:

"Yes!"

"This matter has nothing to do with us! Hahaha!"

"That's right! What are we worried about! Really!"

...

After a burst of laughter, everyone surrounded Mike and walked towards the auditorium. On the way, Mike seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and said to Franklin next to him:

"By the way, don't forget to give a gift to our dear Professor Umbridge, she must be very lonely in the ward!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely convey your kindness!"

Franklin showed a smirk on his face, and walked towards the direction of the infirmary while talking.

After returning to the auditorium, Mike and others were greeted by a deafening cheer.

The classmates who had just gone to the office door with Mike and others were all gathered in the auditorium.

Mike, who had sharp eyes, also found many Gryffindors in the cheering crowd. Now, these people were cheering like students from other colleges, and there was no hatred for Ravenclaw on their faces. Mike

even found that the boy and girl who had a quarrel with each other in Umbridge's class were hugging each other again.

Although the boy looked at Mike and others with deep fear, it was a good thing that they were reconciled and even got closer!

Mike thought so, and a smile appeared on his face. He waved to the cheering students on the side.

He still maintained his original attitude. Facing the cheers of his classmates for beating Umbridge, he neither admitted nor denied it.

It was this attitude that made the students more determined that Umbridge was attacked by Mike.

And who was the most excited person in the crowd?

It was undoubtedly Harry and the other two. The dissatisfaction with Ravenclaw and even Mike due to Umbridge's alienation plan had long disappeared.

"Mike, you'll be alright!" Ron squeezed to Mike's side and said excitedly.

"Of course, Professor McGonagall is a fair professor, she will never wrong me."

Mike's words were righteous, and Ron and others understood what he said. After a long "oh", they returned to their playful and smiling appearance.

"By the way, Mike." Harry, Hermione and others also appeared in front of Mike, "We have found a lot of people about that matter. Tomorrow is the weekend, we have agreed to go to Hogsmeade village to discuss the details, what do you think?" "

I'm available anytime." Mike accepted happily,

"By the way, how many people have you invited this time?"

"Uh, this..." Hermione looked embarrassed, "We don't know about this, anyway, we have invited many people, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of people coming at that time!"

"It doesn't matter, I have also invited a lot of people here, we can go and have a look together when the time comes."

"That's great!"

Hermione and others finally showed joy on their faces, and joined the carnival with the people around them.

…

The news that Umbridge was hospitalized spread throughout Hogwarts within a few hours, and except for Slytherin, everyone who heard the news had a happy smile on their faces.

The happiest one was undoubtedly Professor Trelawney. According to Ron's description, after learning that Umbridge was beaten into the infirmary, Professor Trelawney was grinning all day.

She even didn't assign homework to the students because she was in such a good mood.

The other professors were also in a very good mood, which made the students of Hogwarts even happier. The Weasley brothers, who didn't have to go to Umbridge for detention, even took out their private collection of butter beer and held a large celebration in the lounge.

While the whole Hogwarts was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, Umbridge, lying in the infirmary ward, was listening to Professor McGonagall's investigation report.

"I'm sorry, Umbridge." Professor McGonagall's voice was unusually cold. "I interrogated many people including Mike, but I didn't find any evidence to prove that they attacked you. (McGonagall's tone suddenly became cheerful) But you don't have to worry. The consequences of this incident are quite bad. We will definitely track down the culprit! That's it, you have a good rest."

After that, Professor McGonagall left without looking back, not paying any attention to Umbridge's blinking eyes and moving lips.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Heavy breathing came from Umbridge's mouth. Her eyes exposed to the air stared at McGonagall's back, as if she wanted to eat her alive!

She knew very well that Professor McGonagall was just perfunctory to her. Otherwise, with McGonagall's ability, the murderer who attacked her would definitely not be able to escape even if it wasn't Mike!

Not only McGonagall, it can be said that every faculty and staff in this castle is targeting her!

Otherwise, how could she need so many bandages and plasters for such a small injury on her body? This is the wizarding world. With all kinds of potions and healing spells, this injury can be healed right away! ?

Thinking of this, Umbridge's breathing became heavier.

In her opinion, the reason why the people here targeted her so much was probably because they knew that she was going to investigate them next.

Perhaps, the people who attacked her were sent by these professors!

"Remember this! When I get out, I will throw you all into Azkaban!"

Umbridge said viciously, but due to the restraint of the straps, the words she said were just a barely audible noise.

"And those who attacked me, I must let the Dementors give them an unforgettable kiss! All for me... eh!"

Umbridge's words were stuck in the middle, because at this moment, in her ward, there was a tall figure wearing a pure black robe and a baseball mask!

"For you! A gift!"

A hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and then the tall figure took out a dagger from behind and slowly put it on Umbridge's neck.

"No... no..."

Umbridge spoke incoherently. The tall masked man looked at Umbridge's eyes full of fear and laughed inhumanly.

Then, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it fiercely!

"Do you like this gift?"
