Chapter 94 The Heirs in Action
In the magnificent hall, Mike, Penelope and Franklin sat side by side at the long table that belonged to Ravenclaw. The hall was decorated with many pumpkin lanterns and monster sculptures. There were countless bats hanging from the ceiling. From time to time, ghosts and bats flew past the three of them.
But don't worry that these bats will defecate and urinate everywhere like the owls that delivered the letter at breakfast. These bats were transformed by Transfiguration and have no excretion function at all.
"Penelope, Franklin, you must follow me closely tonight." Mike said to the two people sitting next to him.
"I know, Mike, you have said this sentence countless times." Penelope rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
Franklin, who was standing next to him, had a mouth full of food and couldn't speak, so he had to nod and agree.
Smelling the faint pumpkin fragrance in the air, Mike sighed deeply, picked up the Dolphin Magic Drink next to him and drank a lot.
Mike's worried look was out of place with the laughter around him.
Since talking with Ms. Grey, Mike has always been in a tense state. After all, for a straight man like Mike, becoming a beautiful girl is a punishment more painful than death.
However, after checking the information, Mike found that, as Ms. Grey said, Mike could give up the silver sword. The Gryffindor Sword is indeed the only remaining strongest silver sword.
Then the only way left is hard work, but the soul strength can basically be regarded as a constant thing. Mike asked everyone he could ask but couldn't find a way to improve the soul strength.
In desperation, Mike could only desperately meditate and practice brain occlumency in order to boost the soul strength a little while his mental strength increased. However
, time waits for no one. Just when Mike was worrying about the crown, Halloween came again. In order to ensure the safety of Penelope and Franklin, Mike had to ask them to follow him closely. You know, in the original book, tonight is the time when the basilisk attacks for the first time. If these two people turn around and run around and run into the basilisk, it will be bad.
After all, this is the real world, not the children's book in the original book (at least the Chamber of Secrets is still a children's book). The real world will not have the kind of coincidence of being petrified in the original book. Ordinary people will basically die if they encounter a basilisk.
"Why are you so depressed, Mike?" The Weasley brothers appeared at some point. "Today is a happy day, not only because of Halloween, but also because our Dolphin Magic Drink is sold out again. The new orange-flavored Dolphin Magic Drink is so popular!"
Looking at the two excited Weasley brothers in front of him, Mike forced a smile and didn't say anything. Instead, he raised the Dolphin Magic Drink and drank it again.
There are too many troubles recently, and Mike really wants to drink to relieve his worries.
The Weasley brothers seemed to see that Mike was in a bad mood, and they didn't continue to pester Mike. They went to other places to sell Dolphin Magic Drink and some of their homemade magic joke props.
During this period, the Weasley brothers can be said to be the happiest people in the whole Hogwarts. After having money, they can finally try to make magic joke props.
The two men are indeed geniuses. Although the magic joke props they made still have some major shortcomings in terms of quality, they are all relatively creative things. For example, they have made a lot of tricks with the candy that can transform people after eating it. They have tried toads, dragons, turkeys... Basically, they have tried all the animals you can think of.
In addition, they have recently improved the formula of Dolphin Magic Drink and made a new flavor of Dolphin Magic Drink, which has been very popular in Hogwarts. Of course, the new flavor of Dolphin Magic Drink is also Dolphin Magic Drink, and Mike will also share it.
Looking at the skeletons dancing funny dances on the stage and the rare delicacies on the long table in front of him, Mike was gradually infected by the cheerful atmosphere around him and had a little appetite.
He cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth to chew. The tender taste and mellow aroma of the steak instantly burst in Mike's mouth.
Mike closed his eyes in enjoyment, secretly praising the hardworking house elves in his heart, and the food they made was comparable to Michelin.
Mike secretly made up his mind that he would definitely get a house elf to be his servant in the future. He didn't ask him to help him fight or anything, as long as he could cook for him every day.
But house elves, which are scarce and have a price but no market, can't be obtained with money alone, but also rely on luck. However, Mike is very confident about this. He is a cheating character with a strong luck golden finger. Although this golden finger often goes offline, it will always show up after a long time.
Food is indeed something that makes people happy. As Mike eats more and more, the depressed mood in his heart gradually disappears. As Mike eats the last dessert in a few bites, tonight's Halloween dinner has come to an end.
After Professor Dumbledore announced that this year's Halloween dinner was successfully concluded, the little wizards who had eaten a lot of food lined up and left the hall in an orderly manner under the command of their respective college heads.
At this time, Mike, who was mixed in the crowd with Penelope and Franklin, also played up his spirits. The wand in his sleeve was ready to appear in his hand at any time.
The bloody words on the wall are about to appear!
"Merlin! We didn't even make it to the last dessert!"
"I said we should leave earlier, now we're done!"
The conversation between Harry and Ron reached Mike's ears. They were standing in the corridor outside the gate, looking at the crowd leaving with a frustrated look.
Mike was a little surprised. He glanced around and didn't find the petrified cat or any bloody words. However, Mike's face became even uglier. The unknown enemy is the most terrifying. If everything went according to the original book, Mike would be relieved, but now it seems that everything has deviated from the original trajectory.
"Damn, I'm far enough away from the main line!" Mike cursed in his heart.
Continuing to be vigilant around, Mike followed the crowd back to the Ravenclaw Common Room.
It was not until he returned to his dormitory that Mike breathed a sigh of relief. At least nothing should happen tonight. The eagle-head door knocker of the Ravenclaw Common Room is very powerful, and the basilisk will never get in.
However, Mike was still too naive.
The next morning, when Mike walked out of his dormitory in high spirits, he found that the Ravenclaw common room was empty.
After looking around, he found that everyone was gathered at the eagle-head door knocker. When Mike squeezed into the crowd, the scene in front of him made Mike's eyes widen.
He saw a stiff person standing facing the eagle-head door knocker, holding an opened letter in his hand. And that person was Penelope.
