Chapter 186 Percy is missing

"That's great, duel champion badge." Ron murmured, looking at the badge in Mike's hand, "It's a pity that we were tied for the championship, otherwise I would have won money."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, he realized that he had let something slip, and he immediately covered his mouth.

"What's winning money? Are you still reading the game?" Mike asked, putting down his badge.

Upon hearing Mike's question, Hermione jumped out of the corner and said, ignoring the hints in Harry and others' eyes: "Yes, Lockhart's bet! Professor Flitwick, you have to take good care of them!" As a student at Hogwarts, you actually go to 'study a Ph.D.'!"

Hermione originally wanted Professor Flitwick to teach Harry and Ron a lesson, but to her surprise, Professor Flitwick didn't seem to care about it.

"Well, Hermione, in fact I also bet on this game, 10 Galleons, beat Mike to win." Professor Flitwick said with some embarrassment, "But Ron, are you underage wizards betting? It should be done, and it won’t happen again.”

As soon as these words came out, Hermione's face turned dark, and finally she stamped her feet fiercely and ran out of the ward.

Ron and others breathed a sigh of relief. It was really nerve-wracking to be caught by the professor while studying for a Ph.D.

"You all beat me to win? How much?" Mike asked expressionlessly.

"I pressed five Nats, which is all my belongings. In fact, I only wanted to press one Nat, but to be honest, I feel very sorry for you. Last time in the Gryffindor common room The thing is, I misunderstood you." Ron said, "Franklin pressed 1 Silver Siko, Penelo 5, and Harry, he pressed 1 Gold Galleons. Unfortunately, you ended up with a tie. , now it’s all gone.”

After Ron said that, everyone in the ward had a look of pain on their faces, even Professor Flitwick's face was no exception. He spent a full 100 gold galleons to support his students.

Although the expression on Mike's face remained unchanged, there was a fire burning in his heart.

He should have thought a long time ago that no matter what kind of sport or competition it is, after it develops to a certain scale, a gambling industry will be born, from traditional football and basketball to the new e-sports competitions.

And this time he and Cedric tied in the game. You can tell from your buttocks that Lockhart, as a banker, must have made a lot of money.

'Treat me as a means of making money, and you really have it, Lockhart! ’

Mike thought so in his heart, but still kept his face expressionless. He decided to go to Lockhart to have a talk after he recovered from his injury.

Let’s talk about his share of this matter.

"How's Cedric?"

After making up his mind, Mike finally thought of his opponent Cedric.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Cedric's problem is very difficult. His condition is much more serious than yours." Mrs. Pomfleur curled her lips and said, "If you ask me to say that the duel competition should not be held at all, it is all nothing. It was done by someone looking for trouble!"

As soon as they heard her say this, Franklin and others also had expressions of curiosity on their faces, while Professor Flitwick had an expression of embarrassment on his face. He was also one of those people who Mrs. Pomfleur said was looking for trouble. one.

It’s not like no one has visited Cedric in the past few days, but Mrs. Pomfleur refused everyone to visit on the grounds that the patient needed to rest. So how is Cedric doing now, except for Mrs. Pomfleur and others who are involved in the treatment? No one knows except the people.

"The injuries he suffered during the game were not bad. Although they were more serious, they were only physical injuries." Mrs. Pomfleur sighed and said, "The trouble is his human body transformation technique. He used it without permission. He has not yet fully mastered the human body transformation technique, which is still a complete transformation. Even Professor McGonagall cannot restore this kind of transformation immediately. So he still maintains the appearance of a honey badger."

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became dull. Cedric was famously popular at Hogwarts and had a good relationship with everyone present. Now that they suddenly heard that Cedric's problem was so difficult, everyone was worried. Not very comfortable.

"Uh-huh! Okay, classmates, the visiting hours are over, you should leave, the exam is coming soon, you should study hard!"

Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became silent, Professor Flitwick issued an order to expel the patient.

Although Penello and the others were still a little reluctant to leave, they still did not dare to disobey Professor Flitwick's order. After saying goodbye to Mike, they followed Mrs. Pomfleur and Soraka and left the ward.

As the door was closed, only Mike and Professor Flitwick were left in the ward.

"Professor, do you have something to say?"

"Well, that's right, I have some bad news to tell you." Professor Flitwick said coyly, "Percy is missing..."

"What! Escaped!" Mike interrupted before Professor Flitwick could finish speaking, "Wasn't he under close surveillance by the professors? How could he still run away?"

"Don't get excited yet, listen to me. We did monitor Percy very closely, and also tested and questioned him.

But his behavior was normal, so we relaxed our surveillance on him. After all, you know that professors are human beings and there are times when they let their guard down. "

Although what Professor Flitwick said made sense, Mike didn't buy it.

"Please! Don't you have Legilimency? Wouldn't you know everything if you just use it on him? If that doesn't work, you can ask Professor Snape for Veritaserum!"

"That's the problem, Mike! We used Legilimency on Percy as soon as we got the Horcrux information from you, but we found nothing. That's why we relaxed our surveillance of Percy. "Professor Flitwick explained, "As for Veritaserum, although Snape also proposed to use it, because it has the sequelae of turning the user into an idiot, Dumbledore did not agree with us using it in Persia. Xi, because he is still a student at Hogwarts."

As soon as these words came out, Mike was instantly speechless. What he did was indeed like Dumbledore's style. He cared extremely much for his students and couldn't bear to let them get hurt at all.

But this kind of kindness is good when applied to oneself, but it is a bit stupid when applied to the enemy.

Mike began to understand the frustration of Snape, a decisive double agent, staying by Dumbledore's side. Sometimes things would end with just a dose of Veritaserum, but Dumbledore had to. Let them take a big detour to solve it.

"Now it seems that Percy has mastered Occlumency, and his level is not low." Professor Flitwick continued when he saw Mike was silent, "I really should have used Veritaserum directly, but unfortunately, It’s too late to say that now.”

"So what are you going to do next?"

Mike said expressionlessly. He had already figured it out just now. Although Percy's escape was more troublesome, it was just troublesome.

Because his escape has proved what Mike said before, then Dumbledore and others will definitely use all their strength to get him back.

How terrifying is it to be hunted down by a legendary wizard?

Mike doesn't know.

But Mike knew very well that with his current strength, he would definitely not be able to escape. Likewise, Percy will definitely not be able to escape, even if he has the help of Voldemort's ghost.

"You don't have to worry too much. Percy doesn't know that you told us about him, so he won't necessarily come here to attack you." Professor Flitwick forced a stiff smile and said to Mike, "Even if You don't have to be afraid if he comes over. We have already arranged personnel to protect you. If he does come over, he will throw himself into a trap.

Okay, I won't disturb your recovery and wish you a speedy recovery. Don't forget that the exam will be held in more than a month. I don't want to see you fail then. "

After Professor Flitwick finished speaking, he patted Mike on the shoulder and left the ward, leaving Mike alone on the hospital bed.

As soon as Professor Flitwick stepped forward, Mike activated his magic sense and saw two senior Ravenclaw students standing at the door of the ward after Professor Flitwick walked out of the ward. It seemed that this was The person Professor Flitwick said was sent to protect Mike.

After regaining his senses, a disdainful smile appeared on Mike's face.

He could clearly see the strength of the two people outside the door. Although they were already good among the senior students at Hogwarts, they were still far worse than Mac Cedric. If Percy really came to attack him , then these two guys will only die. And it seems that these two people were arranged by Professor Flitwick without permission because he was worried about him.

This means that Dumbledore has no intention of arranging anyone to protect him.

What does he want to do?

Did he really not care about his own safety, or was he fishing for himself, luring Percy to attack and catching him effortlessly?

Either way, Mike's life is a joke.

"Haha, it really looks like Dumbledore's acting style."

Mike sneered and said that actually he was not afraid of Percy attacking him, because although he was injured, they were all physical injuries, which meant that the magic power in his body was still at its peak.

He also has a dueling champion badge, a battle wand holster, and Papi the Raven.

With so many backhands, it would be completely useless for Percy to attack him. After all, the spirit in the notebook in Percy's hand was just made by Voldemort when he was a teenager, and it was not very powerful.

Thinking of this, Mike sneered and put on all the equipment including the Greed Pendant, Combat Wand Sheath, and the newly acquired Duel Champion Badge.

"Papi."

"Eh!"

A faint mist floated out from the Greedy Pendant and quickly condensed into a black raven in mid-air.

Papi the raven hovered in mid-air for a while, and finally landed on the edge of the wooden bed and looked at Mike quietly.

"Papi, enter the fog crow state and stay in the room. If something strange comes in, attack directly." Mike yawned and said, "I'm a little tired and I need to sleep for a while."

"I got it, you troublesome human!"

Raven Papi replied to Mike impatiently, and with a shake of his body, he turned into a light mist again and floated to the shadows of the room.

Mike picked up the wand and waved it towards the window, and saw that the thick curtains on both sides of the window stretched out, blocking out all the warm spring sunshine outside the window.

Seeing the darkness return to the room, Mike nodded slightly, pressed the quilt again and closed his eyes.

The previous series of events caused Mike's mood to fluctuate greatly, which cost Mike, a wounded man who had not fully recovered from his injuries, a lot of energy. Therefore, Mike, who was lying on the hospital bed not long after, fell into a dream.

However, what Mike didn't know was that outside his ward, a little mouse was quietly staring at his door in the corner of the corridor.

The little mouse ran quickly in the corridor, avoiding the flow of people and rushed directly to Mike's door.

But just when he was about to slip into the room through the crack in the door, a big foot stepped on its tail.

This is the doorman sent by Professor Flitwick to protect Mike. Professor Flitwick gave them an order not to allow any creature to enter Mike's ward without his permission.

They had never been careless about Professor Flitwick's orders, so even if it was just a mouse, they would not let it enter Mike's room.

"Merlin's beard, a dirty rat, so disgusting!"

The guard who stepped on the rat's tail shook his head, then took out his wand and prepared to make the disgusting rat disappear from the world.

But before he could recite the magic spell, another guard next to him took his hand.

"Wait a minute, this might be someone else's pet. Just get rid of it. Don't kill it."

"Merlin's beard, would anyone keep a mouse as a pet these days?"

The doorman retorted loudly, but after thinking about it carefully, didn't Ron, the follower of Harry the savior, raise a mouse? So he raised his other foot and kicked the little mouse whose tail was stepped on and was struggling crazily.

With a scream, the little mouse was kicked out, but its tail was still stepped on by the guard.

The doorman who kicked the mouse away seemed to have done something very funny and burst into laughter. The other doorman on the side looked at the broken rat tail at his friend's feet and shook it helplessly. He shook his head, but said nothing more.

However, the little mouse that was kicked away did not run away as they imagined. Instead, it returned to the corner where it started and continued to stare at Mike's door with a pair of small eyes, as if looking for an opportunity. generally.

Time passed slowly, and the British daylight hours in early spring had not become too long, and the sun quickly set.

As night came, the flow of people coming and going in the Hogwarts infirmary also disappeared, leaving only the two competent doormen in front of Mike's ward.

And, of course, our little Mr. Mouse.
