Chapter 363 Gift

"So, Professor McGonagall is looking for me?"

In the Ravenclaw lounge, Mike, Franklin and others were sitting by the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire while looking at the frightened first-year student in front of them.

"Yes...yes." Under the gaze of so many people, the freshman was obviously a little panicked, but he still mustered up the courage to grit his teeth and said, "Professor McGonagall only asked to find you after visiting Professor Umbridge. Yes, so... So I guess she must be suspicious of you, so be careful when you go there this time!"

When Mike and others heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Franklin and other Ravenclaws who participated in the operation yesterday all had panic expressions on their faces.

Mike himself looked calm, stood up, touched the freshman's head and said to everyone:

"It's okay, I'll just go there."

With that said, Mike walked out of the Ravenclaw lounge. Franklin and others thought about it, but finally gritted their teeth and couldn't bear to let Mike face it alone, so they also walked out.

At this time, a large group of people had already gathered outside the Ravenclaw lounge. When these people saw Mike and the vast crowd of Ravenclaws behind him, they all cheered.

Some of them even shouted slogans to defeat Umbridge. It seemed that almost everyone here had determined that the person who attacked Umbridge last night was Mike.

Mike neither denied nor affirmed the cheers of these people. He just smiled and waved and walked out of the crowd.

On the contrary, Franklin and others immediately became excited when they saw the cheering crowd, and began to interact wildly with the onlookers, and even encouraged them to go to Professor McGonagall's office.

So, when Mike finally arrived at the door of Professor McGonagall's office, nearly a hundred people had gathered behind him. Except for a small number of these people who were Mike's extreme supporters, the rest were all here to watch the fun, but so many people gathered in front of him. At the same time, Professor McGonagall was still shocked.

"Do you want to rebel?" Professor McGonagall's lips trembled with anger, "Go back to class!"

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was really angry, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet. However, there were only a few people who actually followed McGonagall's instructions and left the scene. Most of them saw that the people around them did not leave. I also mustered up the courage. Although I stood there without speaking, I had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall's body trembled more and more, and finally it was Mike who spoke up, and they finally dispersed.

"You are very good!"

Seeing Mike ordering the crowd to disperse, Professor McGonagall glared at Mike and walked into the office with a few words, but Mike didn't take it seriously, shook his head and followed in.

It was the first time for Mike to come to Professor McGonagall's office, so he couldn't help but take a look around.

Compared with other professors' offices, Professor McGonagall's office is very small, and the floor is completely paved with gravel.

There is a warm fire in the office, which makes this small office as warm as spring.

Just as Mike was looking at the small office that was half a study with great interest, Professor McGonagall turned to face Mike and asked directly:

"Where were you from nine to twelve last night?"

"I'm sleeping in the dormitory, Professor McGonagall."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"I'm afraid that won't work because I live in a single dormitory and don't have roommates."

Mike put his hands behind his back and stood up straight. He was not afraid of Professor McGonagall's questions and looked calm.

Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall also nodded, her expression softened slightly and she extended her hand from Mike:

"Give me your wand."

Without any hesitation, Mike turned his palm over and the blackthorn wand appeared in his hand. Then he held the wand in both hands and handed it to Mag.

Mag also took the wand with both hands, looked at it first, and then waved the wand without hesitation.

"Pre-Flashback Curse!"

As McGonagall's voice echoed in the small office, an almost invisible light emitted from the blackthorn wand.

This light moved extremely fast and hit the office window in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing on the office windows. When the wind stopped, the dust that was still attached to the glass was gone, and the full-length glass was cleaned.

Mag looked at Mike, who rushed to answer before she could speak:

"Clean up the new spell. I will use it when I clean the dormitory in the morning."

Mag nodded, and the corners of Mike's mouth also curved.

The Flashback Charm is a spell that allows the wand to re-cast a previously cast spell.

Since most wizards in the world cannot cast spells without a wand, flashback spells are often used in interrogations.

Except, that didn't work for Mike.

Because he didn't use a wand at all last night, and neither did anyone else who participated in this operation!

Professor McGonagall's flashback spell was activated again.

This time there was no sound or light effect, but the half-drunk cup of coffee that Professor McGonagall placed on the table was suddenly refilled.

"The refilling spell is used to refill the black tea I drank for breakfast."

Mag nodded again, and then continued to cast the flashback spell.

"The orchid blooming spell, I like to put a bouquet of orchids before going to bed. This fragrance can improve the quality of my sleep; the clear water like spring spell, used to wash my face; the extinguishing spell, used to turn off the lights;..."

Finally, when Mike's mouth was dry as he spoke, Professor McGonagall finally handed the wand back to Mike.

Then she gestured with her wand again, and immediately the orchids in the room, the refilled coffee, and all other phenomena caused by the flashback spell disappeared.

This move made Mike stand in awe of Professor McGonagall. Just now, Professor McGonagall used a disappearing spell, and it was a large-scale, targeted disappearing spell. This level of disappearing spell was not very powerful, but it showed that McGonagall had Professor Ge’s profound knowledge on this curse.

"Okay, let's go."

Professor McGonagall said expressionlessly.

"Um?"

Mike had a confused expression on his face. He originally expected that Professor McGonagall would conduct a more in-depth investigation into this matter, so he made a lot of preparations, including colluding with fellow Ravenclaw students to give false testimony. , started Occlumency to prevent the brain from being invaded, and even in order to prevent Professor McGonagall from using Veritaserum on him in extreme circumstances, Mike specially asked Benjamin to prepare a lot of resistance fluid for him.

And now Professor McGonagall actually let him go so lightly, which was beyond Mike's imagination.

"What? Do you still want to stay here?"

"No! I'm leaving now!"

McGonagall's voice woke up Mike, and he reacted. Regardless of why Professor McGonagall handled the matter so easily, as long as the outcome of the matter was beneficial to him, he quickly left Professor McGonagall's room. office.

In a corner outside the office door, Franklin and others saw Mike coming out and quickly approached him.

"How? What did Professor McGonagall say?"

"It's okay," Mike said with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with us, what can happen to me?"

Hearing this, Franklin and others were stunned for a moment, then they also reacted and hurriedly replied:

"yes!"

"This matter has nothing to do with us! Hahaha!"

"That's right! What are we worried about? Really!"

…

After a burst of laughter, everyone surrounded Mike and walked towards the auditorium. On the way, Mike seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to Franklin beside him and said:

"By the way, don't forget to give a gift to our dear Professor Umbridge, she must be lonely in the ward!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely convey your kindness!"

A smirk appeared on Franklin's face, and he walked towards the infirmary as he spoke.

After returning to the auditorium, Mike and others were greeted by deafening cheers.

All the students who had just gone to the office door with Mike and others gathered in the auditorium.

The sharp-eyed Mike also discovered many Gryffindor people in the cheering crowd. Now these people are cheering like the students in other houses, and there is no trace of the hatred towards Ravenclaw on their faces.

Mike even discovered that the man and woman who had had a falling out while passing notes to each other in Umbridge's class were now hugging each other again.

Although the boy looked at Mike and others with deep fear in his eyes, it is a good thing that they are now reconciled and their relationship has even taken a further step!

Mike thought so, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved to the cheering classmates beside him.

He still maintained his original attitude, and faced the cheers of his classmates for beating Umbridge, he neither admitted nor denied it.

It was this attitude that made the students even more determined that Umbridge was attacked by Mike.

And who is the most excited person in the crowd?

Those are undoubtedly the three Harrys. The original dissatisfaction with Ravenclaw and even Mike due to Umbridge's alienation plan has long since disappeared.

"Mike, are you okay?" Ron said excitedly as he pushed his way to Mike's side.

"Of course, Professor McGonagall is a fair professor, and she will never wrong me."

Mike's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and Ron and others understood it clearly after hearing the words. After a long "Oh", they returned to their playful smiles.

"By the way, Mike." Harry, Hermione and others also appeared in front of Mike, "We have found many people about that matter. Tomorrow is the weekend, and we have made an appointment to go to Hogsmeade Village to discuss the details. What do you think of things?"

"I can do it anytime." Mike accepted happily.

"By the way, how many people have you invited this time?"

"Um, um..." Hermione looked embarrassed, "We don't know much about this. Anyway, we have sent invitations to many people, so there will definitely be many people coming by then!"

"It doesn't matter. I've invited a lot of people here, so we can go over there and have a look."

"This couldn't be better!"

Hermione and others finally showed joy on their faces, and they joined in the carnival with everyone around them.

…

The news that Umbridge was beaten and hospitalized spread throughout Hogwarts in just a few hours, and except for Slytherin, everyone who learned the news had joy on their faces. smile.

The happiest among them was undoubtedly Professor Trelawney. According to Ron's description, after learning that Umbridge had been sent to the infirmary, Professor Trelawney had been grinning with a split mouth all day long.

She even rarely gave the students homework because she was in such a good mood.

The other professors were also in a very good mood, which made the students at Hogwarts even happier. The Weasley brothers who did not have to go to Umbridge for confinement even took out their private butterbeer in the lounge. There was a big celebration.

While the entire Hogwarts was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, Umbridge, lying in the infirmary ward, was listening to Professor McGonagall's investigation report.

"It's a pity, Umbridge." Professor McGonagall's voice was unusually cold. "I have interrogated many people, including Mike, but I have not found any evidence that they attacked you. (McGonagall's tone was sudden. Becoming lighter) But you don’t have to worry, the consequences of this incident are quite bad, we will definitely track down and find the culprit! That’s it, you have a good rest.”

After saying that, Professor McGonagall left without looking back, not paying any attention to Umbridge's blinking eyes and moving lips.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Rough breathing came from Umbridge's mouth, and her eyes exposed to the air were staring at McGregor's back, as if she wanted to eat her alive!

She knew very well that Professor McGonagall was simply trying to deal with her, otherwise with McGonagall's ability, even if the murderer who attacked her was not Mike, they would never be able to escape!

Not only McGonagall, it can be said that every faculty member in this castle is targeting him!

Otherwise, how could I need so many bandages and plasters for this little injury on my body? This is the wizarding world, and all kinds of magic potions and medical spells can't heal this injury on the spot! ?

Thinking this, Umbridge's breathing became heavier and heavier.

In her opinion, the reason why people here are targeting her in this way is probably because they know that she will censor them next.

Perhaps the group of people who attacked him were sent by these professors!

"Keep this in mind! When I get out, I will throw you all into Azkaban!"

Umbridge spoke viciously, but due to the restraints of the straps, her words were just an inaudible murmur.

"And those people who attacked me, I must let the dementors give them a kiss they will never forget! Give them all... Uh!"

Umbridge was stuck in the middle of her cruel words, because at this moment, there was a tall figure wearing a pure black robe and a baseball mask in her ward!

"For you! A gift!"

A hoarse voice came from his mouth, and then the tall figure took out a dagger from behind and slowly placed it on Umbridge's neck.

"no no……"

Intermittent sounds came from Umbridge's mouth. The tall masked man looked at Umbridge's frightened eyes and let out a burst of inhuman laughter.

Then, he quickly lifted the dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard!

"Do you like it? This gift."
