Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Mike reached out and took the gift box, and took this opportunity to pretend to accidentally touch Penello's little hand, which earned him a pair of big white eyes.

Mike opened the gift box with a smile. Penello's little hand was smooth and felt good. However, as soon as he opened the gift box, Mike's smile froze.

The gift Penello gave him turned out to be a set of wand care tools, and they were not as high-end as the ones he just bought from Ollivander's. They were just a set of mid-level care tools, which cost about 5 gold galleons.

Mike knew that Penello's family situation was not very good. Penello could not use up the one hundred gold galleons exchange limit given to Muggle wizard students every year by Gringotts. Penello probably saved this set of maintenance tools himself. It took a long time to buy it, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He adjusted his facial expression and returned to his original bright smile. Isn't your gift too timely? Professor Flitwick just said that my wand was damaged in the Forbidden Forest battle last year. It needs to be Take good care of it, and you gave me a set of maintenance tools. Thank you so much.

Penello sipped his cone and grinned at Mike when he heard this and said, As long as you like it.

Florin's cones are very different from those in the Muggle world. The cream and milk used in them are produced by a magical creature called the English horned cow. The milk produced by this magical creature is not only delicious but also rich. Containing magic power, it is said to be very beneficial to the growth of the little wizard's magic power.

Because of this, this kind of magical creature has been raised in large numbers by wizards. As far as Mike knows, the largest breeder is the Malfoy family.

In addition, Florin's cones are also enchanted with a magical spell. After eating them, snowflakes will appear all over the body, which is very beautiful.

Although Penello looked very polite when eating, she ate very quickly. A cone the size of an adult's palm was completely wiped out by her in a short time.

Mike couldn't help laughing when he saw her unfinished expression, and handed her his share.

Penello's face was a little red, as if she was afraid that Mike would laugh at her for being greedy, so she hesitated not to pick it up. In the end, Mike forced the cone into her hand and gave up.

Looking at the greedy girl in front of him, Mike showed a shallow smile and said: Senior Penello will be in fifth grade this year and will graduate in two years. How about, think about where to work after graduation. Yet?

It was Penello's turn to freeze his smile, and he stopped eating the cone in his hand. He said with some enthusiasm: How can it be so easy? We are all Muggle-born wizards. What is the attitude of the wizarding society towards us? It’s not that I don’t know.

Your talent is outstanding and you are deeply loved by Professor Flitwick. Even if you have no place to live during the summer vacation, Professor Flitwick invites you to live in his house. You don't need to worry about your future employment at all.

I'm different. My magical talent can only be said to be average, but my management talent is outstanding. It's impossible for the Ministry of Magic to let me, a Muggle-born witch, join the staff.

Employment? I guess after graduation it would be good to find a job in a restaurant like the clerk just now.

Senior Penello, you are being too self-effacing. In my opinion, with Senior Penello's ability, it is more than enough to join the Ministry of Magic. It is their loss that they don't want you.

Penello did not respond to Mike, but shook his head gently.

Actually, senior sister, you still have a chance to work in the Ministry of Magic. Mike said meaningfully, Of course, the method I mentioned is not a stupid method like marrying a pure-blood wizard. I think Percy has been pestering me these days. You, let it make you feel very distressed.”

What can I do? Penello was at a loss when Mike said something to his mind, but he quickly calmed down.

Penelo's performance was all seen by Mike, who couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Penello not only has a very high emotional intelligence, but her magic talent is not as bad as she said. Instead, she is one of the best in her grade. Mike decided to win over such a talent.

Do you know about Raven's Nest? It's the famous Ravenclaw Mutual Aid Association. The requirements for membership are very strict. Not only do applicants need to have outstanding abilities, but they also need to be recommended by a member who has been a member for more than one year. Mike smiled. road. Oh, by the way. The current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Member of the Wizengamot Parliament, Mr. Barty Crouch is also a member of Raven's Nest. In fact, I only met him last month, during my initiation. During the ceremony.”

Penello opened his mouth in surprise. He dropped the cone in his hand on the table without noticing it, and stammered: You are... you mean you have joined the Raven's Nest? Then follow me What I mean by this is...

That's right. Mike snapped his fingers and said, In my opinion, your potential is enough for you to join Raven's Claw. What you lack is just a recommender, and after joining Raven's Nest, you want to join At the Ministry of Magic, it's not as simple as snapping your fingers.

What do you want? Thanks to Mike's promising talent, Penello recovered from the initial shock in just a few words.

You think that I am too powerful. I am not that kind of person. I will recommend you to join Raven's Nest before you graduate. You and I are both Muggles, so I will naturally help you if I can. . Mike raised his eyebrows at Penello and said, Okay, it's getting late, and we really shouldn't waste our date time in this crappy cold drink shop. Let's go out and hang out, beautiful lady.

It turns out that the sport of shopping is as attractive to women as you complimenting them on their beauty.

At first, Penello was a little wary of Mike. After all, she couldn't believe that Mike helped her so selflessly. In her impression, Mike was not such a generous person.

However, after walking around for a while, Penello gradually let go, and the smile appeared on her beautiful face again.

Especially after visiting Mrs. Primpinel's beauty potion store, Penello was completely different from before, shuttling through the bottles and jars in an almost fanatical state.

The small bag that Penello carried when they parted in the evening was gone, replaced by a seamless stretch bag embroidered with a woodpecker pattern that was pinned to her waist.

It was filled with the results of her shopping today, ranging from Madam Malkin's custom-made robes to various beauty potions.

Of course, these are all paid by Mike.

Penello initially wanted to finish buying the items on the Hogwarts inventory, after all, she only had so few gold galleons with her. But when Mike took out a large bag full of gold galleons and waved it in front of her eyes and told her that she was welcome and that he would be responsible for all today's expenses, he completely let go.

However, after all, Penello was just a little girl who was used to being poor. She didn't even know how to spend money. She bought a lot of things for less than two hundred gold galleons.

Thank you so much for today. Penello said with a smile, School is about to start, where are you going to go these days?

Go and stay at Professor Flitwick's house for a few more days. It's getting late, so go back early and be careful on the road. Mike replied absentmindedly.

I know, goodbye! Penello quickly lowered his head and kissed Mike on the cheek, turned around and disappeared into the crowd as if running away.

Mike stroked his cheek, and the warm touch just now made him feel a little distraught.

Mom, according to the normal routine, we should be lying in the hotel at this time. What a pity... Mike sighed with some annoyance, and glanced at his little brother as he spoke, It's a pity that you don't live up to expectations.
