Chapter 55 Claw Marks Reappear

Just as Mike was stunned, the light gate on the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw began to shrink after the girl entered. Mike hurried forward to enter, but he was still a step too late. He did not enter the light gate but hit the statue hard.

Rubbing his forehead that was red from the collision, Mike could not help but feel distressed.

But it was useless to complain at this point. The most urgent thing now was to find out what happened.

Combining the existing information, the place where the light gate led to was most likely the secret room left by Ms. Ravenclaw. Since Slytherin could leave a secret room in Hogwarts, Ms. Ravenclaw, who was also one of the four founders of Hogwarts, could certainly do so.

When Mike read the original book, he had thought that the other three college founders also left their own secret rooms, and even thought about how to enter.

For example, Ravenclaw's secret room might need a crown to open it.

Now it seems that Ravenclaw's secret room does exist, but the key to open it is not the crown, but the claw marks on the back of the girl's hand.

But Mike still had questions in his mind. Why did he come here? What time is it now? Have all the treasures in the secret room been taken away by the girl just now?

"You brought me in, so please tell me what's going on." Mike roughly told the raven standing on his shoulder his guess.

The intelligence of this raven is obviously no less than that of humans. Hearing Mike's question, he showed him a sarcastic look, and then pointed at the wall and mirror not far away with his wings.

Mike looked at the wall pointed by the raven and found nothing unusual.

This wall is used by Ravenclaw to hang portraits of famous people from Ravenclaw College. Mike can be said to be impressed by this wall, because their male student union president Abbot-Fley likes to pull freshmen to stand in front of this wall whenever he has nothing to do and tell the stories of these celebrities.

After staring left and right for a long time, Mike finally found something strange.

It turned out that a few portraits on the wall were missing for unknown reasons. Mike couldn't remember the other portraits, but he clearly remembered that the portrait at the end was of Gilderoy Lockhart.

Mike was shocked when he saw this person's portrait was framed on the wall of fame in the Ravenclaw common room. Later, he asked Penelope and found out that there was a female student union president from Ravenclaw who was a fan of Lockhart. She forced Lockhart's portrait to be hung up despite the opposition of the male class leaders at that time.

That tough senior sister has graduated for five years. I heard that she went to work in the Ministry of Magic. Since there is no portrait of Lockhart on this wall now, it means that the image Mike is seeing now is at least five years ago.

Of course, it may be longer, after all, it is not only Lockhart's portrait that is missing on the wall.

Mike wrote down the appearance of the last portrait on the wall so that he can compare it with the current wall of fame of Ravenclaw and deduce a more accurate time.

After collecting the information on the celebrity wall, Mike looked at the mirror again. The raven seemed to be answering his questions in this way, so there might be some secrets hidden in the mirror.

He walked to the mirror and looked inside. He saw that the mirror that did not show Mike's figure had returned to normal.

A blond boy stood in the mirror, wearing a plain wizard robe, with a terrified expression. There was a black raven on his shoulder, and he was looking at Mike at the moment.

Mike couldn't help but be terrified, because the person in the mirror was himself, and the most important thing was that there was a huge claw mark on his originally fair and handsome face, which was emitting blue light.

Mike hurriedly approached the mirror, stretched out his hands to feel the claw mark on his face, and Mike in the mirror did the same thing.

"Gah! Gah! Gah!"

The raven standing on his shoulder saw Mike's action and made an unpleasant sound, which sounded like laughing.

The sound was extremely harsh to Mike's ears, not because it was unpleasant, but because he heard a kind of gloating taste from it.

In anger, Mike reached out to grab the raven on his shoulder.

Maybe because he was laughing too much, he didn't notice that Mike was strangled by the neck. The ugly cry stopped abruptly, and the raven's wings fluttered in Mike's hands, struggling desperately, and the black feathers fell one by one.

"Don't think I can't recognize you just because you have become smaller, look at what you have done!" Mike pinched the raven's neck with both hands and yelled, "Why do you grab the back of a little girl's hand and my face? I think you did it on purpose, you flat-haired beast!"

Mike's strength in his hand began to increase, and the raven obviously couldn't bear this force, and it began to roll its eyes (don't ask me why the raven rolled its eyes).

Seeing that the raven in his hand was struggling less and less, Mike quickly relaxed his strength. This raven was obviously related to Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, and he didn't want to strangle it to death like this.

As the force in Mike's hand became lighter, the raven, which had been dying, became lively again. It flapped its wings and broke free from Mike's hands. It flew lightly to the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw and looked at Mike triumphantly.

This cunning little guy was just pretending.

Mike felt like he was going to explode after being successfully fooled by the raven again. He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to catch the raven again.

The raven on the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw looked at Mike rushing towards it and flapped its wings calmly.

As the raven's wings flapped, a gust of wind blew towards Mike. Mike felt a strong force coming and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.

The power of this gust of wind was more than that. The tables, chairs, and sundries in the lounge, and even the blue bricks on the wall were blown down and hit Mike, who had already been blown down by the wind.

Mike was hit and his hands were holding his head. He curled up and turned his back to the direction of the wind. The strong wind still did not stop, bringing all kinds of objects to hit Mike's back. Mike felt that his back was almost numb from the pain.

However, the pain came and went quickly. As the strong wind raged, the Ravenclaw common room slowly fell apart, and finally turned into a light blue sea of ​​light again.

Mike was also teleported out, and only the raven was left in the sea of ​​light.

The raven looked at Mike's original position with a complicated expression, flapped its wings and flew back to the dead tree, closed its eyes and began to take a nap.

At this time, in No. 210 Godric's Hollow, the house-elf Lolo was anxiously looking at Mike who was sleeping on the sofa, and he was still talking to himself.

"Lunch time has passed. Lolo should wake up the distinguished guest to eat."

"No! No! This is the master's distinguished guest. Luo Luo will be scolded if he disturbs the guest's sleep."

"Luo Luo is indeed a waste. He can't complete the master's order. No wonder the old master handed Luo Luo to the new master."

When Luo Luo was complaining to himself, Mike, who was sleeping on the sofa, suddenly sat up.

Mike touched his face, but it was smooth, and there was no sign of claw marks. But his back was still aching, reminding him that everything just now was not a simple dream.

Turning his head to look at Luo Luo who was sitting on the ground because of his fright, Mike ordered: "Go and get me a mirror."

Luo Luo, who heard the order, ignored the tears that came out of his fright, and a round mirror appeared in his hand after a snap of his fingers.

"Thank you."

Mike took the mirror and ignored Luo Luo who was excited to hear his thanks and began to observe himself in the mirror.

His face in the mirror was still so handsome, and the horrible claw mark did not appear.

Seeing this, Mike breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the claw mark would not appear normally. That’s good. If I really get caught and disfigured, how will I find a wife in the future?
