Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 57 The Copying Curse

On the last day of July, a thin owl slammed into the windowpane of 210 Godric's Hollow, which was protected by a spell, and made a dull crash.

When Mike went to check, the poor little guy couldn't move anymore, and a roll of parchment was tied to its leg. It seemed that the owl sent the letter here with tenacious will .

Respecting it as a competent messenger, Mike took off the letter from it and took it to the kitchen with two paws to prepare for a grand funeral and cremation for it.

Unexpectedly, before Mike took off his thick feather coat for the warrior, the protagonist of this funeral woke up.

This is not possible, the funeral will look like a funeral, the water in the kitchen is almost boiling, just wait for the warrior to take off his feather coat and go in to take a bath, how can the funeral be carried out when he wakes up?

Mike put his hand on the warrior's neck, intending to make it fall asleep again.

There is even a collar hanging around the warrior's neck, engraved with a few large characters: Weasley.

Now the funeral could not be carried out at all, and Mike was not cruel enough to roast and eat the owl of his friend's house.

After preparing water and food for the warriors, Mike had the time to open the envelope.

The letter was sent by the Weasley brothers. The two claimed that they had made a lot of money by entrusting McFall in the last school year, and they planned to hold a party at home, and specially invited Mike to go.

The letter also mentioned that Franklin had been taken to the Burrow by them, and that Harry had also received the letter from them and would arrive soon.

No wonder the old owl looked like he was about to die. It turned out that he had traveled so many places.

Mike curled his lips. The capitalist traits of the two brothers became more and more obvious. An owl only costs a few dozen Galleons. Is it worth letting this old owl, which is about to lose all its hair, risk its life to deliver the letter? ?
People have worked so hard for your Weasley family for so many years, wouldn't it be nice for them to stay at home and enjoy their old age?

While despising the two stingy brothers, he gently stroked the owl's feathers.Probably because of old age, this owl has a very gentle temper. Feeling Mike's caress, he narrowed his eyes comfortably, and rubbed his wet beak against Mike's hand. He didn't even know that this person wanted to roast it just now. eat.

Looking at the slightly trembling legs of the owl, Mike decided not to let it send the letter back, and now let it send the letter back, it will die on the way in all likelihood.

Or go on your own.

Thinking of this, Mike told Lolo to take good care of the owl warrior, and told him to tell Professor Flitwick that he had gone to Weasley's house by himself, and he might stay there for a few days, then turned and walked to his room.

It's always embarrassing to go to someone's house with empty hands for the first time.I heard that Mr. Weasley likes Muggle things very much, so it would be great, just buy him some messy Muggle toys.

Taking out a 100-yuan note from his collection, Mike copied it into a pair and threw it on it.

As a puff of blue smoke rose, two identical hundred-dollar bills appeared in front of Mike.Mike picked up the two banknotes and looked left and right, and found that not only the patterns were the same, but even the stains he accidentally glued on were the same, so he nodded in satisfaction.

The copying spell was brought out by Mike from the restricted area. This spell is not very difficult, but it is not widely spread in the wizarding world. In the eyes of traditional wizards, the effect is really too weak.

The items copied by the copying spell are no different from the genuine ones in terms of appearance and quality, but in the final analysis, the replicas are ostentatious fakes after all.

For example, you duplicate a loaf of bread with the Duplication Charm.This piece of bread looks and smells exactly like the real thing, but it is inedible, as the magic power on it will slowly wear off over time, eventually turning into nothingness.Eating it may temporarily give you a sense of fullness, but it cannot provide any nutrition to the human body. When the time comes, it will cause greater hunger due to the sudden disappearance of food in the stomach.

But using it to copy money or precious metals has no such disadvantages. Except that it will suddenly disappear, any existing detection methods for Muggles cannot detect the difference between the replica and the real thing.

In fact, wizards are not stupid. Copying spells were once widely used to copy Galleons for deception. Later, it was because of the popularity of magic detection spells and the strong control of copying spells by the Ministry of Magic that these behaviors gradually disappeared.

So, the goblin at Gringotts was right when he said to Mike that Muggle currency means nothing to the wizarding world.

Only good law-abiding citizens like the Weasleys and wizards who can't copy spells will live a tight life.

Mike came to the living room excitedly with a thick stack of pounds in his hand. Seeing Luo Luo staring nervously at the owl, he greeted him and rushed into the fireplace.Mike's magic power is not strong enough, and the pounds copied by the copying spell can only exist for one day, and they must be spent as soon as possible.

Patting the dust off his body, Mike walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, and the bustling streets of London appeared in front of Mike.Mike took a deep breath of the smokey air, shook his head comfortably, and hadn't returned to the Muggle world for a whole year, even the air heavily polluted by heavy industry smelled so good.

Even the serial number of the money on his body was exactly the same. Mike didn't dare to go to those expensive luxury stores, and he could only go to those stores whose total consumption would not exceed 100 pounds.

Fortunately, the value of the pound was still very strong in 1992, and 100 pounds could already buy a lot of things.

The latest remote-controlled plane, which Mr. Weasley must have liked and bought.What?One for £20?Give me 5!
menu?Mrs Weasley would love it.A copy for £5?Pack 20 of my cookbooks from around the world!
……

The shopping lasted until the afternoon. This time, Mike only copied about [-] pounds. However, the money was not spent until the several traceless stretching spell bags that Mike carried were all filled, and there were about [-] to [-] pounds left. look.Mike couldn't help sighing that he hadn't lived in the Muggle world for so long that he couldn't even spend the money he was best at before.

Came to a deserted alley, Mike gave enough space to stretch out the black prickly pear wand.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a three-story bus painted in bright purple appeared in front of Mike's eyes, and it was written in golden paint on the window: Knight Bus.

Mike walked into the car through the opened door, the conductor in purple uniform just wanted to say something, then Mike threw out eleven silver Sickles and said: "Go to the shabby village of Ottery-Saint Catchpole Village. You, Burrow, do you know each other?"

PS: Ask for a ticket!It would be great if I could also copy the curse, just copy the recommendation ticket, hehe.
