Chapter 284 The coming guests

"That guy! He's really nothing! If you ask me, Mike, you should let him hit the wall and die!"

Franklin complained to Mike as he walked in the corridor.

Facing Franklin's endless complaints, Mike helplessly shook his head.

Now it has been a full week since that extraordinary Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. Ever since Franklin found out what Moody did to him, he has started complaining to everyone he meets. Mike has already started to get calluses from hearing it. .

In Mike's opinion, this matter should end here. After all, he had given Moody the lesson he deserved that day.

Because in that class, Mike pretended to be controlled by Moody before using the Imperius Curse on Moody. Everyone present also thought that Moody controlled Mike and released the Imperius Curse on himself, so Moody It's completely unspeakable.

Could it be that he wanted to tell others that he, a former senior Auror who had experienced countless bloody storms, was plotted by an underage wizard, and he was still unaware of it?

Moody couldn't afford to lose this person.

So afterwards he had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow.

But Mike's revenge isn't just that.

He also revealed everything that Moody had done during this period, including randomly punishing students with curses and showing and casting three unforgivable curses on students, to Rita Skeeter, who specializes in writing black manuscripts. Tusket did not live up to Mike's expectations, with an article titled "Shock!" the next day. A madman is using black magic on our children! "The article was published in the Daily Prophet.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the society. That night when Mike and others were having dinner, they saw countless owls flying to the principal's office carrying howling letters one after another.

At the same time, Mike also submitted a real-name report to the Ministry of Magic as the leader of the Los Santos Magic Group. The reasons for the case ranged from random corporal punishment of students to the use of the Three Steps of Forgiveness Curse on humans.

The last of them, "Using the Three Unforgivable Curses on Humans," can be said to be the most serious, because the relevant laws stipulate that anyone who violates this law will be punished with life imprisonment in Azkaban or death (by Determined by the severity of the incident caused).

Not surprisingly, Moody was suspended due to his trial, and Snape was temporarily appointed as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Compared with the dissatisfaction shown by everyone when Snape took over as a substitute teacher last year, Snape was unexpectedly popular this time.

But it's not difficult to understand. After all, compared to Moody, who always throws an Imperius Curse at you and makes you lie on the ground and learn how to bark, Snape is simply a model representative of teachers!

While Moody was busy litigating the lawsuit, Mike and others lived a happy and comfortable life.

First of all, everyone in the Freemasonry. Benjamin and Soraka get along very well. The two of them spend all day tinkering with potions. With a lot of financial support from Mike, they have created many similar polyjuice potions. Controlled potion.

The Weasley brothers also finally launched their first product, Golem Glasses.

This pair of glasses can store an image for a long period of time for users to watch, and also has shortcut functions such as fast forwarding, fast rewinding, and moving the progress bar at will.

In fact, the technology in this area has been researched for a long time. The telescope used by Harry and the others in the Quidditch World Cup has the same function, but that telescope can only store videos for a short period of time. If you want to store videos for a long time, Considerable cost is required.

The Weasley brothers have made technological breakthroughs in this area, reducing the cost to an outrageous level, making this kind of technology that only rich families could possess finally come to ordinary people. Home.

Taking this opportunity, the Los Santos Magic Group immediately followed up and sold the video of the Quidditch World Cup everywhere.

At the same time, Mike also won the exclusive broadcast rights and video sales rights for this top three tournament.

Although the price spent is not small, it is still a sure profit without losing money when their family is the only one.

On the other side, Penelo is already gradually participating in the work of the Los Santos Group. As soon as she graduates, she will directly enter the company's senior management and become Mike's agent.

And Victor, the hardest working member of the Freemasons, finally got his wish and mastered the three unforgivable curses.

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly realized something and asked Franklin, who was still cursing Moody:

"What is Victor doing now? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."

Franklin was stunned and replied: "I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he locked himself in the dormitory all day long to study alchemy."

"alchemy?"

Mike was a little confused. He originally thought that Victor would continue to work hard to learn more offensive spells, or stabilize the spells he had already mastered, but he did not expect that Victor would suddenly change his mind and become a scholar.

‘It looks like I need to find an opportunity to talk to him. ’

With this in mind, Mike asked again:

"What about you? What progress have you made recently? I mean, have you learned any new spells or new knowledge?"

Franklin was silent.

He has done nothing these days and is just patronizing Black Moody.

"Well, let's end that matter here." Mike sighed and said, "Anyway, Moody has received the punishment he deserves. It's time for you to take your mind back and do something serious."

Franklin's mood obviously dropped, but soon he smiled at Mike as if he had figured something out and said:

"You're right. Moody is destined to go to Azkaban to accompany the Dementors for the rest of his life. It's time for me to let go."

"Who told you Moody would go to Azkaban?"

Mike looked at Franklin strangely, and Franklin was stunned for a moment before saying:

"Is that guy going to be executed directly? This...isn't this not good?"

Franklin started to panic. He just wanted to punish Moody, but he didn't want Moody to die.

Mike shook his head and continued walking towards the auditorium.

Moody is different from Black. He is Dumbledore's confidant and one of the only remaining powerful forces in the Order of the Phoenix. Under the current circumstances, Dumbledore will not sit back and let anything happen to him.

As usual, the Great Hall of Hogwarts was still crowded and very lively.

But what surprised Mike was that everyone should usually eat in their seats during dinner, but now people gathered near the notice board in the auditorium.

Just when Mike felt strange, a familiar voice suddenly stopped him.

"Mike!"

Hearing the sound, he saw Ron running towards him, with Hermione and Harry following behind him.

"Mike! Hermione just said that the champion of Hogwarts will be Cedric. Please tell me, how can that guy Cedric be possible with you..."

Ron said breathlessly, but before he could finish his words, he was pushed away by Hermione.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Hermione's face turned red and her hands kept twisting the hem of her shirt. "What I'm saying is that Cedric may also become a warrior! After all... after all, he is quite strong. .”

"Stop it! How can that guy Cedric compare to Mike?" Ron yelled angrily, "You must like him because he is handsome! Don't be naive, he already has a girlfriend, you No chance!"

As soon as she said this, Hermione's face turned even redder, and the hem of her shirt was even twisted into a ball.

"You...you're talking nonsense! I don't like Cedric!"

As he spoke, his eyes continued to glance at Mike.

Ron coughed loudly as if he had grasped the truth, his voice was strange, it sounded like Lockhart.

"Hey, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Facing Mike's question, Harry finally stood up and answered:

"Because of that."

Harry pointed to the notice board.

"It says that representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at Hogwarts in a week, that is, at six o'clock in the evening on October 30th, and we will have a welcome dinner by then.

Oh, right. It also said that Professor Moody was coming back. "

"What!"

Franklin, who was musing behind Mike just now, suddenly jumped out, yelled and came to the sign, and roughly pulled the person in front of him away.

With him opening the way, Mike also got into the crowd.

The content on the notice board was exactly the same as what Harry described. The first thing that caught Mike's eyes was the notice about the upcoming arrival of representatives from the other two schools in the Triwizard Tournament. Below this notice, it was written in smaller fonts:

‘The trial of Alastor Moody, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at our school, has ended. The Ministry of Magic believes that the reason why Professor Moody committed XXX and other 18 crimes was entirely out of educating students. Therefore, the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot Council have decided to acquit Professor Moody, but prohibit him from continuing to teach students in the past way and impose a fine of 100 gold galleons. Professor Moody will return to school tomorrow to continue classes, so stay tuned. ’

"I'm looking forward to it, you damn thing!"

Franklin punched the sign.

The notice board in the auditorium was reinforced by magic, so it didn't move at all, but the surrounding students were still startled, and they all took two steps back, leaving a large open space.

Harry and Hermione looked a little embarrassed, feeling a little uncomfortable with being in the public eye.

Mike didn't care. He didn't care about Franklin and just pulled Harry, Hermione and others out of the crowd.

As far as he was concerned, Franklin was now simply raging incompetently.

This is not a Muggle society, let alone the United States.

Since people of any race have their own powerful magic systems, such as Taoism and Yin Yang magic in Asia, and voodoo in Africa, there is no concept of racial discrimination in wizard society. They only have blood discrimination. .

This means that Franklin has nothing to do with Moody.

"Harry, have you gone to see Dumbledore?" Mike asked Harry seriously after walking out of the crowd.

Harry fell silent after hearing this, and then said after a while:

"Sorry, Mike. I'm better now. Maybe the headache was just psychological, so I don't think I need to go to Dumbledore again."

"This is no joke Harry, I suggest you think about it again." Mike's face suddenly darkened, but he still said softly, "What about Blake, what did he say?"

"Blake is busy with his own affairs. There are really too many things for him to deal with recently." Harry said, pretending to be nonchalant, "He said he wanted to come back to see me, but I refused. After all, I have already never mind."

"Well, as long as you are happy," Mike said, "I will also help you solve the matter between you and Blake. If nothing else happens, you will be able to live together this summer vacation."

"Really!" The fake smile on Harry's face disappeared instantly, and he was jumping up and down excitedly, "I'm so grateful to you!"

"Don't say that, we are friends, this is what I should do."

Franklin, who was furious just now, lowered his head and stood behind Mike without saying a word.

His arrival made Harry and others a little unnatural. After all, Franklin's angry appearance just now was really scary.

Seeing this, Mike said no more. After saying goodbye to Harry and others, he took Franklin and left the auditorium.

But as soon as he left the auditorium and reached a deserted place, Mike's fists were clenched together, and the joints even made a crisp clicking sound due to excessive force. At the same time, the gentle smile on his face immediately disappeared. Disappeared, replaced by a cold and angry expression.

Franklin, who originally looked unhappy, seemed to sense something and glanced at Mike.

Suddenly, Franklin's body trembled violently, and then he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, silently lowered his head and slowed down, walking slowly behind Mike like a frightened quail.

Moody's matter is nothing to him at this moment. Mike's current appearance is really too scary. Franklin has never seen Mike so angry since he met him until now.

Franklin thought it was what he had just done in the auditorium that made Mike angry, so he instinctively restrained his temper.

Mike was indeed very angry at this time, but he was angry with Harry.

He didn't know whether Dumbledore knew that Voldemort had returned, but as long as Harry told Dumbledore about his headache, no matter how much Dumbledore knew about the matter, he would have to tell Voldemort Take action.

In this way, with the big Buddha of Dumbledore standing in front of him, Mike himself could save much effort.

It's a pity that Harry turned a deaf ear to everything Mike said before. The past few years of life at Hogwarts still haven't cured Harry's original inferiority and sensitivity, which made him still choose to hide it.

Now that the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin, without Dumbledore taking action, Mike can only fight alone against the purebloods and Voldemort who are hiding in the dark and waiting for revenge.

This made him particularly irritable.

Sorry, I'm late!
