Chapter 18 Penello

A week has passed since Mike discovered the magic. During this period, Mike would run to the Room of Requirement almost every night. With the secret passage that the Weasley brothers took him through, the time between the two places was greatly shortened.

I have to say that the Room of Requirement is a really good place. With it, Mike can finally experiment with magic without any worries.

There are also a large number of magic books hidden in the Room of Requirement, some of which are not even collected in the Hogwarts school library, including many books on dark magic.

There is a lot of dust on the surface of these books, and they look like they have not been turned over for a long time. Only a few of them have less dust, and they look like they have been turned over recently.

There are also many books on Defense Against the Dark Arts that are not included in the textbook.

This was like someone handing him a pillow when he fell asleep, and Mike was worrying about how to improve his knowledge of black magic. You must know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in the past two years have been basically useless, Quirrell can only read from the book in class, and Lockhart next year will be a complete trash.

Only when Lupine, the werewolf, came to their Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the third year could they really take a few good lessons.

After searching for books that did not record the specific process of casting black magic, Mike put these books aside. Now his top priority is to improve his combat effectiveness. The plot of the first-year Philosopher's Stone has already begun.

He must get a good rank in the challenge game that Dumbledore assigned to Harry, so that he can have a chance to show his face in front of the whole grade. Of course, it would be even better if he could help Ravenclaw win the Academy Cup. In that case, the entire Ravenclaw students would remember his name. This will be helpful in his plans for the senior year.

The focus of Mike's training was not on magic perception and meditation, because he found that the increase in magic power in a short period of time was almost negligible, although his perception of magic power in his body would increase a little after each meditation. , but in a short period of time, Mike couldn't control these magic powers at all.

And meditation is not like what is written in those mage novels. It can even be used as a substitute for sleep. Meditation is very energy-consuming.

Mike can only meditate for about half an hour a day now, and he will feel physically and mentally exhausted after this time. Therefore, he placed meditation after the spell training, otherwise he would not have the energy to use the spell again.

Before going to bed every day, he would drink a drink from the unlucky Hufflepuff. Mike found that this drink was very helpful in restoring his energy. Drinking a glass every night would help him regain his energy as soon as possible.

"I have to find a way to get the formula from that Hufflepuff when I have time." Mike thought to himself.

On this day, when Mike and Franklin were doing homework in the Ravenclaw lounge, Penelope, a famous Ravenclaw, found them.

"Hey, Mac. How are you enjoying your stay in Ravenclaw?"

"That's right! Senior Penello. I can meet so many beautiful seniors every day. My friends in Gryffindor are envious of me. Most of the girls there are not very good-looking, and they are better than us." Crowe’s seniors are far behind.”

Penello was so amused by Mike that it turned out that women like to hear others praise them anytime and anywhere.

It can be said that Penelope Mac is famous for a long time. This Muggle-born witch is truly worthy of the word "amazing". Almost everyone in Ravenclaw is full of praise for her. Not only is she beautiful, she is also very talented in magic. The most important thing is that she is a person with extremely high emotional intelligence. She is impeccable in her behavior, and the little wizards from first to fourth grade are willing to obey her orders. Even many students in the upper grades respect her very much.

"You are really glib. I don't know how many girls you will deceive when you grow up." Penello finally finished laughing. "I am here to tell you that Professor Flitwick asked you to go to his office." .”

"I'm not glib. In addition, the person I respect most in Ravenclaw is you, senior sister. Not only are you beautiful, but you are also so capable. I can't believe you are also a Muggle." Mike flattered you again.

Upon hearing the words Muggle-born, Penello's smile froze.

"I don't mean anything. I will graduate in a few years. I don't know where to go yet. Maybe finding someone to marry would be a good choice." Penello felt that he was a little out of control. Pack up and go to Dean Flitwick's office, don't keep him waiting, I'll leave first."

Looking at Penello's leaving back, Mike couldn't help but glance at Franklin, who looked confused, and showed a smile that was true. As for Franklin, he was still wondering why Penello was talking and laughing with them one moment, and then walked away the next moment.

Penello is a smart man and an ambitious man.

The most suitable place for such a person in the future is the Ministry of Magic. However, the Ministry of Magic does not recognize Muggle-born wizards. They could accept recruiting some Muggle-born wizards to become cannon fodder such as Strikers and Aurors, but recruiting a Mudblood to be an official in the Ministry of Magic? Or a witch? Stop dreaming.

In fact, most Muggle-born witches will choose to marry pure-blood or mixed-blood wizards after graduating from Hogwarts. Only in this way can they receive fairer treatment in the British wizarding world, such as working in the Ministry of Magic. After all, after they get married, they represent their husband's family, not themselves. You know, in the UK, people have to change their surname when they get married.

Some people may think that pure-blood wizard families will not allow family members to marry these mudbloods in order to maintain the purity of their blood. Such families do exist, and there were many in the beginning, but now they are all old people.

Those families that insisted on blood purity either declined and perished like Black and Gaunt, or were forced to accept these Mudblood witches.

But don’t think that life will be easier for these witches after they get married. Most wizarding families still hold a blood-discriminatory attitude towards these witches, and these wizarding families are all paupers. In fact, most wizarding families in the wizarding world now They are all poor, and only a handful of people like the Malfoy family are rich.

Some families can only rely on the mudblood witches to go out to work and earn money to support the entire family. In their words, how can a noble pureblood go out and embarrass others? Only mudbloods like you are the best suited to do these things.

That's right, not only do you have to make money to support your family, but others don't appreciate it.

A small number of witches are also subject to domestic violence, and even have some ethical problems. I won't go into details about these, besides, they will be cheated.

That's why the original Penelope chose to fall in love with Percy. If we think about it from his perspective, we can understand why the Queen of Ravenclaw would fall in love with someone like Percy.

First of all, the Weasley family is one of the 28 pure-blood families, which will be of great benefit to her future work in the Ministry of Magic. In addition, the Weasley family is known as pure-blood traitors and is one of the very few wizarding families that has a favorable impression of Muggles. After marrying Percy, at least she will not be discriminated against at family gatherings.

From this point of view, it can be said that Hermione has reached a higher level when she marries Ron, at least in the eyes of those pure-bloods. After all, a mudblood witch married into a pure-blood 28 family and instantly transformed from a dirty mudblood. Becoming Mrs. Weasley is nothing more than reaching a high level.

It's a pity that Percy was an unreliable guy. In the end, Penelo couldn't stand him anymore and broke up with him.
