Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 75

Mike didn't wander around Hogwarts, but went straight back to Ravenclaw's tower.Although it wasn't a big deal for Mike to stay up all night last night, it's better to catch up on sleep.

But when Mike came to the door knocker of the eagle's mouth, he found that a person had already been waiting there.

Lockhart was wearing a turquoise dress today, and the golden hair on his head should have used a lot of detangling agent, and the roots were smooth against his forehead.There was a book under his arm, which seemed to be just after class. Mike walked in and saw the title of the book clearly: "Traveling with Ghouls".The strange thing is that the iconic smile that Lockhart has always put on his face is gone, replaced by a distressed look.

"Okay, okay! Do it again! This time I will definitely get it right!" Lockhart said firmly.

"Excuse me, what are the words that are often used in ancient runes to improve the stability of spells?" came the voice of the eagle-head door knocker without a trace of emotion.

The expression on Lockhart's face became very stiff when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while before replying:

"Uh..., Axi?"

"mistake!"

"Alder!"

"mistake!"

……

"Okay! I don't know!" Lockhart finally couldn't take it anymore after making mistakes several times in succession. "You damn door knocker is still so annoying! Let me in!"

With a hideous expression, Lockart knocked on the Eagle Head door knocker with the book in his hand, and kept swearing in a dialect that Mike couldn't understand.But he may have forgotten that there are protective restrictions attached to the door knocker of the eagle head. Anyone who tries to open the door by violence will be attacked by the door knocker.

Sure enough, when the two sapphires on the eye sockets on the door knocker of the eagle's head flashed, Lockhart flew upside down and smashed hard against the wall.

Mike looked at Lockhart who was rolling and moaning on the ground, quite speechless.

The Eagle Head Knocker can be said to be the most useful access control in the four academies. Like the Sorting Hat, it has the ability to read people's hearts, but its wisdom is not as high as the Sorting Hat.

It will ask questions according to the knowledge reserve of the solver, that is to say, as long as it asks questions, you can answer them theoretically. After all, you must have learned this knowledge.

This results in the older you are and the more you learn, the harder the questions it presents.

So first-years, especially Muggle-borns, generally don't get stuck at the door.On the contrary, those senior students are often forced to sleep on the floor outside the door, which makes Ravenclaw senior students generally carry a sleeping bag with them in case of emergency.

Lockhart is obviously the type who returns all the knowledge he has learned to the teacher after graduation.

Although in his heart he despised Lockhart, a bastard who was trying to gain fame, but due to his status as a professor, Mike still stepped forward to help him up.

"You're not hurt, are you, Professor Lockhart?"

Lockhart only noticed Mike's existence at this time, seeing that Mike wanted to help him, he hurriedly struggled to stand up from the floor, and said:
"No, no! I'm fine! I just tested the power of Ravenclaw's access control device, and the result is very good, as good as I used to be when I was in Ravenclaw." Lockhart said halfway Suddenly his expression became very surprised, "You are? Mike! You are Mike! Flitwick mentioned you to me, saying that you are the best student he has ever taught, and you joined that organization."

Mike looked at Lockhart who was holding himself up to prevent himself from showing his ugly face, and his contempt for him increased a bit in his heart.His calf was shaking despite the pain, and he pretended to be fine, which was ridiculous.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Mike's superficial etiquette is impeccable, and he replied with a smile: "Yes, I am Mike Townley. Professor Flitwick thinks highly of me too, I just did my best. That's what a student should do."

"You are so humble! Being able to join that organization has already fully demonstrated your excellence." Lockhart took a few steps closer and said, "Tell me about the Crow's Nest test. They have sent me several invitations to become a member of the Ravens, but unfortunately I have no time to go."

Mike was already a little impatient, as Lockhart said, being able to join the Raven's Nest did prove that Mike was an excellent wizard, but the same, as Lockhart who was born in Ravenclaw, so Not joining the Raven's Nest for a long time also happened to prove that he is just mediocre.

"I'm not very clear about this aspect. To be honest, I didn't know how I passed it. Professor Flitwick should be able to give you a satisfactory answer to these questions." Mike no longer talks with Lockhart. He said directly, "Also, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to talk about the crow's nest here? You were going to enter the Ravenclaw lounge just now, right? I just happened to be here, so let me take you in." .”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Lockhart's reaction and walked to the Eagle Head door knocker.

Lockhart is no doubt a "well-known figure", and his skin is unusually thick.Hearing that Mike rejected his request in disguise, the embarrassment in his eyes disappeared after a slight flash, and he took a few steps to keep up with Mike.

"Hmm! You're right. Things about that organization really shouldn't be discussed in public. I didn't expect you to know the truth of being a low-key person at such a young age. It's really outstanding, and you will definitely become a person like me in the future." When the time comes, your humility will bring you a lot of benefits." Lockhart was still educating Mike while walking.

Mike was speechless for a while, and murmured in his heart:

Want to be a celebrity like you who are as rich as you are?I strongly suspect that you are scolding me, but I have no proof.

Ignoring Lockhart's compliment, Mike signaled the Eagle Head Knocker to come up with the question quickly, he didn't want to stay with Lockhart for a moment.

The question that the eagle head door knocker asked Mike was much simpler, and Mike answered the right question after only thinking for a moment.Seeing that the door of the lounge was opened, Mike ignored Lockhart behind him and went straight in.

And Lockhart followed closely behind Mike, wishing he could stick to him.

He was afraid that the door would suddenly close and shut him out again, because their behavior was theoretically a kind of cheating, and the eagle head door knocker might suddenly close the door in order to shut him out.

Fortunately, what Lockhart was worried about didn't happen, and he entered the Ravenclaw lounge without any risk.

As soon as he entered the Ravenclaw lounge, Lockhart once again put on his iconic smile that won the most charming smile award from Wizards Weekly for five times, and he also took care of the messy turquoise dress on his body Neatly.
