Chapter 77 Handshake

By the time Mike woke up, it was already the next morning. When he opened the dormitory door and entered the Ravenclaw lounge, he saw a group of girls, led by the female student union president, removing Lockhart's portrait on the wall of fame.

Lockhart's portrait was completely different from his usual slut, and he was screaming and trying to stop the girls' movements. However, its magical portrait obviously cannot affect the real world, and it can only watch helplessly as it is removed from the wall of fame.

Amidst the gloating laughter of the other portraits, the female student council president took the lead and stepped on the portrait hard, directly punching a big hole in Lockhart's chest in the portrait.

Then the other girls came forward and kicked each of them, and soon the portrait was changed beyond recognition.

Mike pulled a boy who was watching the excitement and asked about the situation. Now he knew why these girls were so angry.

It turns out that after Professor Flitwick took Lockhart to Dumbledore to question him yesterday, Lockhart was not punished too severely. He only had one month's salary deducted and that was all.

This made the girls in Ravenclaw very angry, so the scene just happened.

Carefully bypassing the girls who were still venting, Mike came to the library area in the Ravenclaw lounge, ready to look for the historical records of Ms. Rowena-Ravenclaw.

Originally, if you wanted to check such records, you should go to the Hogwarts school library, but Ravenclaw was completely different from other colleges in this regard.

Since the Ravenclaw lounge itself has a library area, a large number of books on the history of Ravenclaw are collected here, and the level of detail of the information is far greater than that of the Hogwarts school library.

However, after searching in the library area for a long time, Mike could not find the information he wanted. There is very little information about Rowena-Ravenclaw. The information that Mike has found so far only records a little history of Rowena-Ravenclaw before his death.

Lady Rowena-Ravenclaw had a magical crown that increased the wisdom of the wearer, and her daughter Helena, due to her desire for wisdom and greed for knowledge, stole her mother's crown and fled to Albania. in the forest.

After being betrayed by her own daughter, Lady Rowena-Ravenclaw became depressed and became seriously ill. But instead of blaming her daughter, she hid the fact that Helena had stolen the crown from the others. Because he really wanted to see his daughter before dying, Rowena entrusted a Slytherin student, Barrow, to find Helena.

However, Barro killed Helena and then committed suicide himself. The crown was no longer heard from, and Rowena died in depression.

This story is widely circulated within Ravenclaw because it mentions the lost artifact of Ravenclaw, the diadem.

But other than that, there is very little information about Ravenclaw in the library area, especially what happened before she founded Hogwarts. There is only one sentence, "She is the breeze from the lakeside", which is similar to A short sentence for introduction.

Just as Mike was searching for information in the sea of ​​books, a familiar voice interrupted him.

"Mike, what are you looking for?"

Mike looked back and saw little Hermione looking at him curiously. Instead of answering her question, she replied: "Isn't this dear Hermione? Why are you free to go to Ravenclaw today?" Lao is here."

"Oh, that's it. Do you know what the undoing of the Slug Curse is? Ron wanted to curse Malfoy, but because his wand was broken by the Whomping Willow, the curse came back to him. Now. He's spitting out slugs," Hermione said eagerly.

Of course Mike knew how to solve the Slug Curse. Professor Flitwick taught Mike how to solve many prank curses last school year, and the Slug Curse was one of them.

But Mike didn't plan to tell Hermione, after all, he didn't have a good impression of Ron. Besides, vomiting some slugs won't kill anyone, so you'll get used to it.

"I'm sorry Hermione, maybe you should go find Percy or George and Fred. They must know." Mike shrugged, "By the way, why did Ron suddenly think of provoking Malfoy?"

"Because Malfoy said I was a Mudblood..." Hermione seemed to have seen something in the middle of her sentence, and suddenly paused, "Wait, what is that? Is it a portrait of Lockhart? No! What are they doing!"

After saying that, he rushed into the crowd who were destroying Lockhart's portrait and pushed away a girl who was laughing and stepping on the portrait.

The girl who was pushed away took a few steps back and was about to fall to the ground, but was supported by the girls around her.

The female student council president walked out of the crowd, poked Hermione's forehead with her finger and said: "A Gryffindor, who allowed you to break into the Ravenclaw common room and hurt an innocent Ravenclaw?" For students? 30 points deducted from Gryffindor!"

Hermione's little head shook from being poked, and her eyes were red when she heard that she was being deducted points. She reached out and knocked the female student council president's hand off before retorting.

However, Mike also squeezed in at this time, covered Hermione's mouth, and said to the female student union president: "Oh, beautiful lady. This is all a misunderstanding. Hermione is my friend, and this time she is here to mess with her." Winclaw is a guest."

"Yes, Carol. Just let her go this time." Penello stood up at some point and while talking to the female student union president, she pointed her finger at her head. A grimace, indicating that Hermione's head wasn't in good shape.

The female student council president ignored Penello, but stared at Mike without blinking.

I don’t know how long it took, but she changed her angry look before, showed a bright smile to Mike and said, "Mike! Professor Flitwick's proud disciple! I have admired his name for a long time."

After saying that, he extended his hand.

Mike spoke with self-effacing words and reached out to hold her outstretched hand.

Mike started laughing as soon as he held the female student council president's hand. The hand held by the female student council president and his was in a very weird posture, with her ring finger curled, which made Mike uncomfortable.

This is a handshake unique to Raven's Nest, used to recognize other members covertly in public.

Mike quickly reacted, and the hand held by hers also bent his ring finger, overlapping it with hers. Feeling the special touch in his palm, Mike and the female student council president looked at each other, and everything was clear.

Rule 1 of Raven's Nest: Members must do their best to help each other without infringing on their own interests.

Mike knew that things were definitely stable this time.
