Chapter 485: Bird Taming

Slughorn once again looked across the crowd towards the entrance of the auditorium, and this time, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

It was Mike!

Slughorn's spirit was shaken, and he casually stuffed the goblet in his hand into the arms of a boy next to him, and then walked towards Mike with a smile on his face.

Everything he did today was to be able to communicate with Mike. After all, what Mike showed was so amazing, which led Slughorn to put Mike in a very high position.

Slughorn opened his hands while walking, as if he wanted to hug Mike, and muttered something like "You are finally here".

But as soon as he approached Mike, Slughorn's body paused, and the warm smile on his face also stiffened.

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn."

Mike nodded and greeted the other party very politely.

Slughorn's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, as if he had been laughing for too long and his muscles were stiff.

After a while, Slughorn stammered,

"Good evening, Mike."

Mike chuckled and walked past Slughorn towards the center of the auditorium. At this time, Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.

Although Mike was smiling just now, his blue eyes did not have any smile, but were cold and without any kindness. It

was a difficult feeling to be stared at by those eyes. It was like... like he would be eaten by the other party in the next moment!

Slughorn shuddered, and he just recalled the blue eyes. Turning

his head to look at Mike's back, Slughorn secretly made up his mind that he would never get too close to Mike in the future, and just maintain the current relationship.

Mike is definitely not a good guy. It is better not to get too close to such a person.

Caution is the secret of Slughorn's survival!

While Slughorn was daydreaming, Mike had already arrived at the center of the auditorium.

He didn't even need to say anything. Everyone in the auditorium fell silent, staring at the blond boy in the center of the auditorium with sharp eyes.

"Everyone, you have worked hard."

Mike's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

A deafening applause broke out in the auditorium. It looked as if Mike had just given a touching speech.

Mike raised the corner of his mouth and raised his right hand, and then the whole auditorium became quiet again.

He looked around, at the expectant faces around him, and continued:

"This time, everyone who participated in the action can get a bonus of 10 Galleons. You can go to Franklin to collect it tomorrow. Then I'll take my leave first. I wish you a pleasant night."

After that, Mike walked out of the auditorium without looking back, and behind him, there was another thunderous cheer.

Mike is definitely a good boss. This is almost the consensus of everyone present. He doesn't talk about ideals at all, but gives money as soon as they meet. You know, 10 Galleons is their salary for a whole week. Such a boss is not a good boss, then what kind of boss is it? For

a while, the atmosphere of the banquet in the auditorium became more heated. If this trend continues, they may have to stay up all night.

Mike left the auditorium and walked back into the darkness.

At this time, there was no smile on his face, only endless chill.

The behavior of the man behind Clark really angered him, but it also made Mike confirm one thing, that is, in addition to him and Voldemort, there is indeed a third party force on the field ready to move.

This forced Mike to rethink his next plan. After all, the third party was obviously hiding in the dark, waiting to take advantage of the situation.

"Mike!"

Hermione's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from behind him. Mike paused, then put on a fake smile again and turned around to ask:

"Hermione, is that you?"

"Of course it's me!" Hermione came up to Mike breathlessly, "Whoosh! You run too fast, I almost couldn't catch up with you!"

"Sorry, what do you want from me?"

Mike said, looking towards the light, where Harry and Ron were running towards him.

"How is the assassin named Clark now?" Hermione said cautiously, "Or, how are you going to deal with him?"

"You are..."

Without waiting for Mike to finish, Hermione continued:

"I think you should not lynch him, but hand him over to the Ministry of Magic and let the law punish him. This is the most correct choice!"

In the darkness, the smile on Mike's face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips and continued in a gentle tone:

"He almost killed me."

"I know, I am also very sad about this matter, and I am also very angry!" Hermione said excitedly, "But..."

"No buts!"

Ron's voice suddenly came from behind Hermione. He and Harry grabbed Hermione's arm and covered Hermione's mouth.

"Don't worry, Mike." Ron continued, "Hermione wants to work in the Ministry of Magic for legal work after graduation, so she has read a lot of books on this subject recently, and people who read them are a little stupid." Mike

nodded to Ron. He now has a different opinion of Ron. The other party's emotional intelligence may not be as low as it seems.

Ron also smiled, but it didn't last long before it twisted and he opened his mouth and started screaming.

"Ah!"

Ron pulled his hand away from Hermione, leaving two rows of deep teeth marks on it.

"Mike, listen to my advice and hand Clark over to the law, or you'll be in trouble... wooooooo!"

Before Hermione finished her words, Harry covered her mouth again.

"Hiss! Mike, you better go back first." Ron covered his hands and took a breath, "We can handle this."

Mike nodded, and disappeared into the darkness without saying anything.

He was in a bad mood and didn't want to continue talking to Harry and the others.

As for Hermione, it was impossible for Mike to say that he was not angry. Although the other party's behavior was not wrong, it was definitely inappropriate.

It was like you picked up a priceless antique, and then others persuaded you to exchange pennants.

But it was not to say how angry she was. After all, they have been friends for such a long time, and Hermione herself has such a personality, plus she is still young, so it is understandable.

...

The next day, when the students who woke up early came to the auditorium, what they saw was a messy venue and students all over the floor.

These people actually had a party last night.

This made Professor McGonagall's nose crooked with anger. Hogwarts had just experienced such a big chaos not long ago. Now that things have just gotten better, someone has started to do these things openly again?

This is simply challenging their authority! They

must be severely punished!

Otherwise, they will not be able to convince the public!

As a result, the hourglasses of the four major colleges that had just had some gems were once again emptied.

And all the students who stayed overnight in the auditorium received 7 to 15 days of confinement.

On this day, the sky outside Hogwarts was overcast, as if it would rain heavily at any time, and this weather was just like the mood of these students at the moment.

But this is not the worst. What really made these students miserable was that Mike, as the boss of the Los Santos Group, also issued a series of training tasks for these newcomers. These tasks were so heavy that these people lost most of their extracurricular life.

Those who were in confinement naturally could not participate in the training, and Mike's approach to the absent personnel was also very simple.

If you don't participate in the training, you won't get any money.

Mike is not a philanthropist. He spent money to see the effect. Those people want to take money without working? That's daydreaming!

As for taking leave? Workers' rights?

You tell me that these things are useless. You know, the wizarding society doesn't even have basic social security. In the past, these labor disputes were mediated by the Ministry of Magic, but now the Ministry of Magic itself is in trouble, so how can it have time to take care of these trivial matters.

In other words, Mike is actually quite conscientious, because in this period when the Ministry of Magic has basically lost its function, he can even make a lot of money by squeezing employees!

But he didn't do that, he just didn't pay them.

Although these people's experiences are a bit miserable, other people in Hogwarts are very happy.

Because at this stage, Hogwarts has finally calmed down. Except that Hogsmeade is still not allowed to go, everything in Hogwarts has returned to its previous appearance-calm and peaceful.

Everyone went to class with sad faces every morning, and then ran out of the classroom with laughter in the afternoon. Those who needed to review for the exam reviewed, and those who needed to play wizard chess played wizard chess...

Mike and others' tense hearts also temporarily slowed down. Mike rarely gave others any new tasks, but let them have a good rest for a while.

This should be a good thing, but Benjamin and Zhou Hong and others were very uneasy.

You know, in their impression, Mike has always been a black-hearted capitalist who desperately exploits employees, and this time this black-hearted boss actually showed mercy and gave them a big vacation?

Does this mean that there will be more work directly on them in a while?

For a while, Benjamin and others began to avoid Mike, fearing that he would do something weird again.

Mike didn't care about this situation at all. He went to class and went home like a normal student every day, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Sometimes he would choose an auspicious day to enter the Masonic secret realm and have a love date with Penelope.

When Mike and Penelope were dating, basically no one would stay in the secret realm, after all, no one wanted to be a light bulb, except Franklin and Victor.

Among them, Victor was a otaku for thousands of years, which was nothing to say, but Franklin was different. He didn't play Quidditch anymore, and he would come to see the captured Thunderbird whenever he had time!

Mike had known for a long time that Franklin liked bird creatures.

He still remembered that Franklin had thought about a laughing owl before, the kind that sounded like it was laughing at you.

When Franklin first got the owl, he put it on his head all day to show off. In the end, Mike couldn't stand the mocking laughter and gave his opinion, so Franklin gave up and kept the owl in the owl tower and went to see it every day.

And now, he obviously has a new love.

But his new love is not in a good state at this time.

After being defeated by Michael, the Thunderbird was in a bad state. It lay there motionless all day long, looking like a bird with no desire. At first, it even refused to eat. Michael thought the bird was depressed and suggested killing it and selling it.

You know, Thunderbirds are full of treasures. Its feathers are extremely popular wand core materials in North America, and its blood is a good magic solution. Its internal organs and flesh also have different functions.

This adult Thunderbird is quite large, and it is a considerable fortune in this era when Thunderbirds are endangered.

The Weasley brothers both agreed with this suggestion. They had been shocked by the Thunderbird before, and they had long wanted to taste what Thunderbird meat tasted like. Unfortunately

, Franklin jumped out to stop them. He hugged the Thunderbird's thigh and cried and said please give him a chance, he can definitely cure the Thunderbird.

Seeing this, Michael and others' plan to kill the bird can only be postponed.

Of course, it was just a postponement, because no one believed that Franklin could cure the Thunderbird.

But what shocked everyone was that after two days and two nights of persuasion from Franklin, the Thunderbird, whose pupils had dilated due to lack of sleep, finally ate the first bite of meat.

Mike strongly suspected that the Thunderbird was annoyed by Franklin, after all, anyone would succumb if they were annoyed for two days and two nights without sleep.

But Franklin didn't think much of it. With dark circles under his eyes, he proudly became the trainer of Thunderbird, claiming that he had found the trick to tame Thunderbird, and that soon he would be able to make Thunderbird as obedient as the owl he kept at home!

Looking at the listless and sleepy appearance of Franklin and Thunderbird, Mike and Benjamin had strong doubts about this, but since Franklin said so, they were willing to let Franklin try it.

As for the Weasley brothers, they have been looking at Franklin with resentful eyes these days. The

two of them have not given up the idea of ​​eating bird meat, and even have the idea of ​​secretly slaughtering Thunderbird.

Unfortunately, under Franklin's watch, they have no chance at all.

And most importantly, under Franklin's unique training method, Thunderbird is getting thinner and thinner, and now it has almost become skin and bones!

Mike just smiled after knowing this. He had no intention of stopping this. On the contrary, he really wanted to see who would succeed in the end, Franklin or the Weasley brothers.

After all, although the peaceful Hogwarts was peaceful and happy, it always made people feel a little boring.
