Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

On the last day of July, a thin owl slammed into the protective spelled windowpane of No. 210 Godric's Hollow, making a dull crashing sound.

By the time Mike went over to check, the poor little guy couldn't move. There was a roll of parchment tied to its leg. It seemed that this owl relied on its tenacity to desperately deliver the letter here. .

Respecting it as a competent messenger, Mike took off the letter from it and took it to the kitchen with two paws to prepare for giving it a grand burial and cremation.

Unexpectedly, before Mike could take off the thick feather coat for this warrior, the hero of this funeral woke up.

This is not okay. The funeral has to look like a funeral. The water in the kitchen is almost boiling. They just wait for the warrior to take off his feather coat and go in to take a bath. How can the funeral be carried out if he wakes up at this time?

Mike stretched his hand to the warrior's neck, intending to let him fall asleep again.

There was actually a collar hanging around the warrior's neck, with several large characters engraved on it: Weasley.

The funeral was completely out of the question now, and Mike wasn't cruel enough to roast his friend's owl and eat it.

After preparing water and food for the warriors, Mike had time to open the envelope.

The letter was sent by the Weasley brothers. The two claimed that they had made a lot of money through relying on MacFounder during the last school year. They were planning to hold a party at home and specially invited Mac to go.

The letter also mentioned that Franklin had been taken to the Burrow by them, and Harry had also received the letter they sent and would arrive soon.

No wonder the old owl looked like he was about to expire, having traveled so many places.

Mike curled his lips. The capitalist traits of the two brothers were becoming more and more obvious. An owl only cost tens of gold galleons. Is it worth asking this old owl, whose fur is almost gone, to risk his life to deliver messages? ?

He has worked so hard for your Weasley family for so many years, wouldn't it be nice for him to stay at home and enjoy his old age?

While despising the stingy two brothers, he gently stroked the owl's feathers. Probably because of its old age, this owl has a very gentle temperament. Feeling Mike's caress, it squinted its eyes comfortably and rubbed Mike's hand with its wet beak. It had no idea that this person just wanted to roast it. eat.

Looking at the owl's legs that were still trembling slightly, Mike decided not to let it send the letter back. Now if he let it send the letter back, it would most likely die on the way.

It's better to go there yourself.

With this in mind, Mike asked Lolo to take good care of the owl warrior, and asked him to tell Professor Flitwick that he had gone to the Weasley house and might stay there for a few days. He then turned and walked to his room.

It’s always awkward to go to someone else’s house empty-handed for the first time. I heard that Mr. Weasley likes Muggle things very much, so it would be perfect to buy him some messy Muggle toys.

Taking out a 100-yuan pound note from his collection, Mike copied it into pairs and threw it up.

As a puff of smoke rose, two identical hundred-dollar bills appeared in front of Mike's eyes. Mike picked up the two banknotes and looked left and right. He found that not only the patterns on the two banknotes were the same, but even the stains he accidentally stuck on them were exactly the same. He nodded with satisfaction.

The copying curse was brought out by Mike from the forbidden book area. This curse is not very difficult, but it is not widely circulated in the wizarding world. The reason is not only that it is a curse strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, but also because of its The effect is too useless in the eyes of traditional wizards.

The items copied by the copying spell are no different from the original ones in terms of appearance and quality, but in the final analysis, the copies are fakes with only superficial appearance.

For example, you use a copy spell to copy a loaf of bread. This piece of bread looks and smells exactly like real bread, but it is inedible and the magic on it will slowly drain out over time, eventually turning into nothingness. Eating it may temporarily make you feel full, but it will not provide any nutrition to the human body. When time is up, it will cause greater hunger due to the sudden disappearance of the food in the abdomen.

But using it to copy money or precious metals does not have this shortcoming. In addition to disappearing suddenly, no existing detection method available to Muggles can detect the difference between the replica and the original.

In fact, wizards are not stupid. Copying spells were once widely used to copy gold galleons for fraud. Later, due to the popularity of magic detection spells and the strong control of copying spells by the Ministry of Magic, these behaviors slowly disappeared.

Therefore, what the goblin from Gringotts said to Mike was right. Muggle currency is meaningless to people in the wizarding world.

Only good law-abiding citizens like the Weasley family and wizards who can't copy spells can live a tight life.

Holding a thick stack of pounds, Mike happily came to the living room. Seeing Lolo staring nervously at the owl, he said hello to him and rushed into the fireplace. Mike's magic is not strong enough, and the pounds copied by the copying spell can only exist for one day, so you have to spend them all as soon as possible.

After dusting himself off, Mike walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, and the bustling streets of London appeared before his eyes. Mike took a deep breath of the air with the smell of fireworks and shook his head contentedly. He had not returned to the Muggle world for a whole year, and even the air that was heavily polluted by heavy industry smelled so good.

Even the serial numbers on his money were exactly the same. Mike would not dare to go to those expensive luxury stores, and could only go to stores where the total consumption would not exceed 100 pounds.

Fortunately, the value of the pound in 1992 was still very strong, and 100 pounds could buy a lot of things.

The latest remote control plane, Mr. Weasley will definitely like it and buy it. What? Only £20 for one? Bring me 5 cars!

menu? Mrs. Weasley will love it. Only £5 for a copy? Pack me 20 cookbooks from all over the world!

…

The shopping continued into the afternoon. This time, Mike only copied about 10,000 pounds. However, the money was not spent until all the traceless stretching bags that Mike carried were filled. There was about 3,000 to 4,000 pounds left. look like. Mike couldn't help but sigh that he hadn't lived in the Muggle world for too long, and he couldn't even spend money on what he was good at before.

Arriving at a deserted alley, Mike made enough space and stretched out his blackthorn wand.

boom!

With a loud bang, a three-decker bus painted in bright purple appeared in front of Mike's eyes, with gold paint on the window saying: Knight Bus.

Mike walked into the car along the open door. Just as the conductor in purple uniform was about to say something, Mike threw out eleven silver coins and said: Go to the humble village of Ottery-St. Catchpole. Ju, do you know the Burrow?

PS: Please give me a vote! It would be great if I could also copy the spell and directly copy the recommendation votes, hehe.
