Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 55 Reappearance of Claw Marks
Just when Mike was in a daze, the light gate on the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw began to shrink after the girl entered. Mike hurried forward to enter when he saw it, but he was still a step too late. He didn't enter the light gate but He slammed into the statue hard.

Rubbing his flushed forehead, Mike couldn't help but feel distressed secretly.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to complain. The most urgent task now is to find out what happened.

Based on the analysis of the existing information, the place where the door of light leads to is most likely the secret room left by Ms. Ravenclaw. Since Slytherin can leave the secret room in Hogwarts, then Hogwarts Of course, Ms. Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Z, can.

When I read the original book, Mike didn't think that the other three founders of the academy also left their own secret rooms, and even figured out how to enter.

For example, Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets may require a crown to open.

Now it seems that Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets does exist, but the key to open it is not the crown, but the claw mark on the back of the girl's hand just now.

But Mike still has doubts in his heart, why did he come here?What time is it now?Could all the treasures in the secret room have been taken away by the girl just now?

"You brought me in, so please tell me what's going on." Mike roughly stated his guess to Raven who was still standing on his shoulder.

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

Mike looked towards the wall that the raven was pointing at, but found nothing unusual.

This wall is used by Ravenclaw to hang portraits of well-known figures from Ravenclaw College. Mike can be very impressed with this wall, because their male student union president Abt Foley likes it when he has nothing to do. Pulling the freshmen to stand in front of this wall, telling the stories of these celebrities.

After looking left and right for a long time, Mike finally discovered the strangeness.

It turned out that there were a few missing portraits on the wall for some reason, and Mike couldn't remember the other portraits, but he clearly remembered that the portrait at the bottom was that of Gilderoy Lockhart.

Mike was stunned when he saw the portrait of this person was framed on the wall of celebrity in the Ravenclaw lounge. Later, he asked Penello to find out that the president of the female student union from Ravenclaw was Ravenclaw. Hart's admirers, regardless of the objections of the male prefects at the time, forcibly hung Lockhart's portrait on it.

That tough senior has graduated five years ago, and I heard that she has joined the Ministry of Magic.And since there is no portrait of Lockhart on this wall now, it means that the image Mike sees now is at least five years ago.

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

Mike memorized the appearance of the last portrait on the wall so that he could compare it with Ravenclaw's current wall of fame and introduce a more exact time.

After collecting the information on the wall of celebrities, Mike looked at the mirror again. Raven seemed to be answering his own question in this way, so there might be some secrets hidden in the mirror.

I walked to the mirror and looked in, only to see that the mirror that could not show Mike's figure had returned to normal at this moment.

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

It is impossible for Mike not to panic, because the person in the mirror is himself, and the most important thing is that at this moment, there is a huge claw mark on his fair and handsome face that is emitting blue light.

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

"Gah! Gah! Gah!"

The raven standing on his shoulder made an ugly cry when he saw Mike's action, which sounded like he was laughing.

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

Frustrated, Mike reached out and grabbed the raven on his shoulder.

Perhaps it was because he was so engrossed in his smile that he didn't realize that Mike's movements were strangled by him.The ugly cry stopped abruptly, and the raven flapped its wings in Mike's hands, struggling desperately, and the pitch-black feathers fluttered down.

"Don't think I won't recognize you when you get smaller, look at the good deeds you have done!" Mike yelled, pinching Raven's neck with both hands, "Why do you grab the back of your hand when you grab me, and your face when you grab me? ? I think you did it on purpose, you flat-haired bastard!"

The strength in Mike's hands began to increase, and the raven obviously couldn't bear the force, and everyone who was pinched started to roll their eyes (don't ask me why the raven rolled their eyes).

Seeing that the struggling strength of the raven in his hand was getting weaker and weaker, Mike hurriedly relaxed his strength.This raven was obviously related to Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, and he didn't want to just strangle it.

As the strength in Mike's hand became lighter, the raven, which was still dying, became alive again. With a flap of its wings, it broke away from Mike's hands, and flew lightly to the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw. He looked at Mike triumphantly.

This cunning little guy was just pretending.

Being successfully played by the raven again, Mike felt like he was about to explode.Stepping forward quickly, he stretched out his hand to grab the raven again.

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

As the raven flapped its wings, a gust of wind blew towards Mike.Mike only felt a strong attack, and his body flew out uncontrollably.

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

Mike covered his head with his smashed hands, curled up together and turned his back to the direction of the strong wind.The strong wind still didn't stop, and it brought all kinds of things to Mike's back. Mike only felt that his back was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.

However, the pain came and went quickly, and as the wind raged, the Ravenclaw lounge was slowly shattered, and finally turned into a light blue sea of ​​light again.

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

Raven glanced at Mike's original location with a complicated expression, flapped his wings, flew back to the dead tree, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

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

"It's past lunch time, Luo Luo should wake up the distinguished guests for dinner."

"No! No! This is the honorable guest of the master. If Luo Luo disturbs the guest's sleep, he will be scolded."

"Lolo is indeed a waste, unable to fulfill the master's orders, no wonder the old master handed Luo Luo over to the new master."

While Luo Luo was complaining, Mike who was sleeping on the sofa suddenly sat up stiffly.

Mike groped his face, but his hands were smooth, not at all like claw marks.But his back is still aching, reminding him that what happened just now was not a simple dream.

Turning his head to look at Luo Luo, who was scared by himself and sat on the ground, Mike ordered: "Go and get me a mirror."

Hearing the order, Luo Luo disregarded his frightened tears, and after snapping his fingers, a round mirror appeared on his hand.

"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.

In the mirror, his face was still so handsome, and that terrifying 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 he is really caught and disfigured, how can he find a wife in the future?
