Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 69 Dinner
Before Percy was seated, both George and Fred made room for Percy to sit between them, and George handed Percy a biscuit in his hand.

At this moment, Percy was so shy that he just wanted to find a hole in the ground and go down.Seeing his two brothers making room for him, he thought that his brothers were more reliable, so he sat down without thinking about it, and he didn't refuse the biscuit that George handed him, and stuffed it into his mouth After soaking in the black lake for half a day, I was already hungry.

Percy apparently forgot that his two brothers also had a well-known title of "King of Mischief".

As soon as the unremarkable biscuit was eaten, orange flames began to burst out of Percy's body.Percy, who was shocked to find himself on fire, began to beat the flames with all his might.

However, those flames were like the legendary Fiendfyre, they couldn't be extinguished at all.

In desperation, Percy couldn't care less about whether to lose face or not. He lay down on the ground and began to roll back and forth, hoping to put out the fire.The little wizards around screamed when they saw this, but the Weasley brothers looked at Percy's distressed appearance but didn't go up to help, just laughed there.

Percy, who rolled on the ground for a while, noticed something unusual. Although the flames looked terrifying, he didn't feel burned by the flames, and even his clothes didn't ignite.On the contrary, he actually felt that his body was warm and very comfortable. He was drenched in cold water in the black lake, and the coolness brought by the cold wind for a while was also driven away by the flames.

Getting up with difficulty from the floor, seeing George and Fred looking like they were about to die of laughter, he suddenly became out of breath, and opened his mouth to say something.But the expected curse didn't come out, instead, a flame and black smoke spewed out of Percy's throat.

Now the little wizards around didn't know that this was just another prank by the Weasley brothers. Seeing Percy with a ferocious expression and spitting flames, he also burst out laughing.

Mike saw all the scenes in their place, and he sneered unconsciously when he saw Percy's angry appearance.

There are seven brothers and sisters in the Weasley family, and Percy is the most useless except for Ron, who can't afford to support him.

Just talking about the incident just now, if the person who fell into the Black Lake was replaced by George and Fred, they would definitely regard the laughter in the auditorium as a compliment to them instead of irony, and they would even tell others about it afterwards. Show off your experience of falling into the black lake and fighting the monsters inside.

It was far better to do that than to be a coward like Percy was.

Leaving other colleges aside, at least many people in Gryffindor will definitely want to try the feeling of being in close contact with the Black Lake monster.

Professor McGonagall, who had returned to the auditorium to reorganize the order of the new students, returned to the auditorium again. The noisy environment in the auditorium made Professor McGonagall very angry. He yelled at all the old students again, which made the excited students regroup. Quiet.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly as he watched the crowd return to calm, and walked to the sorting hat in the center of the auditorium.She coughed lightly, waved her wand lightly, and the door of the auditorium opened automatically.

A group of freshmen outside the gate entered the auditorium tremblingly under the watchful eyes of all the old students and professors.

They also heard the laughter in the auditorium before, and looked at the people in the auditorium curiously, but found that the atmosphere in the auditorium was quite serious, and they couldn't help becoming nervous again.

When all the freshmen entered the auditorium, the sorting hat in the center of the auditorium sang the sorting song that it spent a whole year preparing carefully.

After singing a song, everyone in the auditorium responded with the most intense applause.Mike was drowsy after listening to it. He really didn't understand the wizarding world's aesthetics for music. From his ears, the level of the Sorting Hat's singing was not even comparable to someone's rap in the previous life.

The sorting ceremony wasn't anything to look at, either. The little wizards were sorted into their respective colleges after being peeped into their brains by the sorting hat.Mike suspects that the original purpose of the Sorting Hat was to identify dark wizards who wanted to sneak into Hogwarts.

Whenever a freshman is assigned, there will be a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the college he is assigned to. Mike was also treated like this in the first year. At the beginning, he felt a little flattered, but later he found out that This is just routine operation.

A girl with long pale blond hair caught Mike's attention among the freshmen.

It's not that this girl is so beautiful, but her temperament is completely different from the freshmen around her.

A pair of huge carrot earrings appear and disappear in the pale blond hair as the little girl walks, and there is a necklace made of butter beer bottle caps around her neck.The most noticeable thing is her pair of silver-gray eyes. Other freshmen either have erratic eyes, look very nervous, or just look around curiously, but her eyes are calm, as if everything in front of her is calm. Nothing to do with her in general.

"Is this what you like?" Penello noticed Mike's movement, and poked Mike with his arm.

"Why, jealous?" Mike replied calmly, "That's Luna Lovegood, their family and the Weasley's are neighbors, and I had a relationship with her during the summer vacation. Oh, By the way. Her dad seems to be the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler."

Penello glanced at Mike suspiciously and stopped asking.

The sorting ceremony for the freshmen came to an end soon. Before the banquet began, Dumbledore introduced this year's new defense against the dark arts professor, Lockhart.

Lockhart was wearing a pink suit today, and his hair was slicked back, looking very flamboyant.

When he heard Dumbledore introduce him, he stood up from the teacher's seat, showed his iconic smile to everyone in the audience, and bowed slightly.

His appearance re-ignited the atmosphere in the auditorium, and all the witches in the auditorium gave him the warmest cheers.An unknown schoolgirl not far away from Mike fainted from excitement, and was being hugged and pinched by the boy next to him at the moment. Looking at the boy's face full of joy, Mike guessed that he must have eaten him Senior sister has a lot of tofu.

Mike also noticed that even Mrs. Pince, the librarian, was clasping her arms and her heart was beating like she was about to faint, while Filch looked at Lockhart with an unfriendly expression.

It was not until everyone finally quieted down that Dumbledore announced the official start of the dinner.

Following his order, a large number of exquisite delicacies suddenly appeared on the long empty table.Now, except for a few nympho who were still looking towards Lockhart, everyone started eating with their heads covered.
