Chapter 50 Crow's Nest

The next few days were very fulfilling for Mike. Every morning he would run around the village. Most of the residents in this village were old Muggles, and the young people had all gone out to work.

These old people probably haven't seen a boy of Mike's age for a long time. Every time they meet Mike running, they will invite him to their home. When they are rejected, they will give Mike some food. As a result, every time Mike went out for a run, he would go out empty-handed and come back fully loaded.

After returning from running, Professor Flitwick woke up. After breakfast, Flitwick would teach Mike. Professor Flitwick was worthy of being a fighting champion and a real fighter. The way to teach Mike was to go to the training room to fight. field. Under Flitwick's "teaching", Mike felt that his skills in avoiding curses were getting better and better.

The rest of the time, Mike would stay alone in his room and study the books brought back from the restricted area. As early as the first day of his vacation, he handed those films to a small camera shop in London for photo development.

The owner of the camera shop seemed to be a fan of occultism. When Mike went to get the photos, he took Mike and talked about various occult matters for a long time.

At first, Mike thought that the other party was also a wizard, and almost took out his wand and hit him with a wand, causing him to faint. However, after probing the topic of Mudbloods, he found that the other party was just a Muggle and didn't take it to heart.

On this day, Mike got up early as usual to go for a morning run. When I arrived at the living room, I found that Professor Flitwick had already dressed and was waiting in the living room.

"The young man is very energetic. Come here quickly, we are about to set off."

"Start? Where to go? Diagon Alley?" Mike asked with a black question mark on his face.

"Didn't I tell you? We are going to a party today."

Mike then remembered that Professor Flitwick had indeed said this when he was at Hogwarts, but after so many days, he had long forgotten it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We are almost late." Professor Flitwick waved his hand, "Come on, grab my shoulders, this time we will use Apparition."

Mike's heart tightened when he heard the Apparition. He still remembered the unpleasant experience of teleporting with the Portkey last time, but he still had the courage to grab Professor Flitwick's shoulder.

As Professor Flitwick gently waved the wand in his hand, a familiar feeling of dizziness came, and the next moment the two of them appeared in a jungle.

The jungle in front of me is not as gloomy as the Forbidden Forest. The early morning sunlight shines through the sparse branches and leaves on the lush plants on the ground. Colorful flowers bloomed in the green forest. The breeze blew by, carrying a burst of floral fragrance and swaying the flowers slightly, like a girl bathing in the sun, stretching lazily. It's a scene that can only be found in fairy tales.

A winding path in the forest leads to the distance. The road is very smooth, without any protruding rocks. From time to time, squirrels jump and land on it. After looking around for a while, they spot Mike and Professor Flitwick, and then quickly disappear. In the jungle.

Professor Flitwick and Mike were walking on this trail, and the crisp sounds of birdsong kept coming from all around.

After walking for less than ten minutes, a clearing appeared in front of Mike. This open space is covered with green grass, and there is a dilapidated hut in the center of the open space. The little animals in the forest gathered around the cabin to play and play. When they saw Mike and Flitwick, they did not run away. Instead, they blinked and stared at the two curiously with their big watery eyes.

On the way here, Professor Flitwick had already told Mike about today's gathering. This is a monthly gathering at Raven's Nest.

Raven's Nest is an organization formed voluntarily by Ravenclaw graduates. At first it was just a gathering similar to a class reunion, but as time has settled and now a thousand years later, Raven's Nest has become A behemoth.

The organization has members all over the world. New members who want to join Raven's Nest must be from Ravenclaw, and must be recommended by a member who has been a member for more than a year, and then be tested. Under such strict admission conditions, all members of the organization are talented people.

There are actually similar organizations in the four major houses, Slytherin’s Pure Blood Society, Gryffindor’s Order of the Phoenix, and Hufflepuff’s Badger Cave.

Among them, the one with the strongest overall influence is Badger Cave. The wizards born in Hufflepuff are not as smart as Ravenclaw, not as rich as Slytherin, and not as brave as Gryffindor, but they It has an advantage that no other college can match, and that is the large number of people.

You may find it funny to see this, but in the sparsely populated wizarding world, having more people is indeed a huge advantage.

No money or strength? It doesn't matter, there are many of us.

Compared to Badger Cave, Raven's Nest is more like a classmate mutual aid club, and the monthly gathering is more like a class reunion than a social gathering.

As for Gryffindor's Order of the Phoenix and Slytherin's Pure Blood Society, these two organizations have suffered losses after the war provoked by the two Dark Lords. The Order of the Phoenix is ​​a little better, at least it still has Dumbledore, the strongest wizard, to support it. The pure-blood society is already in a semi-disbanded state. All the powerful pure-blood families have withered away, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens. .

Raven's Nest actually participated in these two wars, but because most of the organization was composed of pure-blood wizards, they sided with the Dark Lord. Fortunately, the people of Ravenclaw were still very smart and left immediately when they saw something was wrong. It was also because of this that the losses of Raven's Nest in these two wars were not large.

Hufflepuff, on the other hand, remained neutral and miraculously preserved its strength.

Under this circumstance, Badger Cave became the well-deserved uncrowned king of the British wizarding world. From the driver of the Knight Bus to the top brass of the Ministry of Magic, Badger Cave members are spread throughout the wizarding world. Moreover, Hufflepuff is famous for its unity. When one party is in trouble, all parties will help. In the academy, you can still laugh at Hufflepuff students as losers. How can you try again in society? Someone will immediately take action and give you a beating from society.

Professor Flitwick brought Mike to the Raven's Nest party this time to recommend Mike to join the Raven's Nest. According to Professor Flitwick, the admission test of the Raven's Nest is very strict and the pass rate is extremely low, but As long as you join Raven's Nest, you will get great benefits.

Not only can internal knowledge be shared with you, but if you encounter difficulties and ask for help from members of the same organization, you will also get help within their capabilities.

And the organization also provides special help to members who have not yet graduated, providing a meditation method taught by Ms. Ravenclaw free of charge!

Professor Flitwick is not sure how powerful this meditation method is. It is said that it varies from person to person, but according to Professor Flitwick's personal experiments, the effect of meditation will be at least three times higher!
