In the Ravenclaw boys' dormitory.

Mike was lying on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the Greed Pendant that he had fixed in mid-air with a floating spell. It had been several days since he destroyed the crown, and he had been studying the Greed Pendant in the past few days.

.

It is already mid-December, Christmas is approaching, and the little wizards at Hogwarts are once again welcoming their long-awaited Christmas vacation.

This year's Christmas, Mike still chose to stay in school, the purpose was to study the Greed Pendant and become familiar with the strength of his magic control after the surge.

The latter went very smoothly. After several days of high-intensity training, Mike was completely familiar with his current strength. However, the former went very poorly.

According to Mike's understanding, since the Greedy Pendant has helped him escape from danger time and time again, it should have recognized him.

However, things were obviously not as simple as Mike thought. In the past two days, Mike used every method to try to trigger the pendant.

Mike even dripped his own blood on the pendant according to the legendary way of signing a contract with the mythical beast, but still got nothing.

The cold wind outside the window blew against the glass windows, making a gust of wind sound.

But at this moment, Mike's bedroom was as warm as spring under the influence of the warming spell.

Lying on the bed, Mike felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier in this comfortable environment, and the greedy pendant floating in front of him became increasingly blurry.

Finally, under this sudden drowsiness, Mike fell asleep, and the blackthorn wand in his hand slipped to the ground.

As the wand was released, the floating spell that fixed the Greed Pendant in mid-air also lost its magic power supply.

"Snapped,"

The Greed Pendant fell into Mike's open mouth with perfect accuracy.

Mike jumped up from the bed in an instant. The Greedy Pendant had just stuck directly in his throat. If Mike hadn't reacted quickly, he might have swallowed it directly.

"Bah! Cough cough cough!"

Spitting the Greed Pendant onto the ground, Mike coughed violently.

The Greed Pendant is a relic of Ms. Gray and has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Generally speaking, no one would clean such collected antiques. Anyway, Mike had not cleaned the pendant since he obtained it.

Thinking of this, Mike felt nauseous, picked up the water glass on the side and started gargling.

While Mike was gargling his mouth, the pendant that he spat on the ground began to glow with a faint blue light.

In this burst of blue light, the raven-shaped pendant continued to twist and grow, and finally turned into a living raven.

The raven's feathers were wet, as if it had just come out of the water. And it was staring at Mike's back with anger in its eyes.

"Gah!"

The raven transformed by the pendant screamed and flew onto Mike's back, and began to flap Mike's head with a pair of broad wings.

Mike was startled by this sudden attack. He instinctively summoned the wand to fight back, but then he remembered that his wand sheath had been put away by himself. In desperation, he could only use his hands to grab the raven on his back.

However, this raven was very clever. Seeing that Mike was trying to catch it, it chirped again, turning into a puff of black smoke and floating onto the desk.

With a light on his back, Mike immediately picked up the wand beside the bed and pointed it at the black smoke on the desk that had turned into a raven again.

Looking at the familiar look of disgust on the raven, Mike couldn't believe it. He turned his head and glanced at the location where the pendant was before with his peripheral vision. Seeing that there was nothing but a water stain there, he said in surprise:

"It's you!"

The raven on the desk gave Mike a very humane look and stopped talking to Mike.

At this moment, Mike also realized that this raven was the form of the Greed Pendant. He put away his wand and rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Why did you come out all of a sudden? Do you mean that you acknowledge me and want to sign a contract with me?"

"Quack quack quack!"

Unexpectedly, the raven reacted violently when he heard this. He stretched out his wings and began to scream strangely, as if he was accusing Macdie of his crimes.

After saying that, he used the bird's beak to sniff the wet feathers on his wings, and immediately shook his head in disgust, as if his feathers were very smelly.

Mike still didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly apologized to the raven and bribed the raven with food.

But no matter how Mike tried to persuade Raven, he always looked like, "I'm angry and can't be coaxed."

Suddenly, there was a sound of a bird's beak hitting the glass window, which startled Mike, and the raven was frightened and turned into a pendant again.

Mike looked out the window and found an owl tapping hard on his window with a letter on his leg.

I quickly opened the window, and the owl came into the house with the biting cold wind outside the window.

After closing the window again and looking at the wet owl, Mike frowned slightly.

"Keep warm."

With the release of the warming spell, a large cloud of water mist evaporated from the owl's feathers, and its body, which had been trembling slightly, returned to normal.

Ignoring the owl's grateful eyes, Mike reached out and took off the letter tied to its leg, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Mike bets this letter is the most gorgeous letter he has ever received.

The envelope of the letter was made of some kind of special black paper. It had obviously just been delivered from the wind and snow. It felt very dry and had a touch of warmth. Mike glanced at it with magic perception and found no magic.

Aura, which proves that no magic has been cast on this letter. It is covered with delicate patterns painted with gold powder, and there is a big f on the stamp.

Mike recognized this symbol. It was the symbol of the Foley family.

After opening the envelope and reading the entire letter, Mike's frown relaxed.

"Dear Mr. Mike Townley

The Foley family will hold their annual Christmas dinner at the Foley family estate on December 25, 1992. You are specially invited to attend. Thank you!

Mario Foley”

In addition to this invitation letter, there is another letter written by Abbot in the envelope. Unlike the concise and clear invitation letter written by Uncle Mario, this letter written by Abbot

The letter was written in a verbose manner, and what he basically meant was that Mike did not need to go by himself on the day of the dinner, and he would come to pick him up in person.

Putting the letter away solemnly, Mike picked up the Greedy Pendant and asked softly: "Why have you changed back again? Come out quickly, we haven't finished talking yet."
