Chapter 442 The Professor's Invitation
After the negotiations with the Muggle Prime Minister Mike ushered in the opening season of Hogwarts.
When he stood in the crowded nine and three-quarters station with his luggage and Franklin again, he felt like he was a different life.
There were so many things he did this summer, especially the contract he signed with Prime Minister Muggle in the end, which was directly infuriated within the Freemason.
Most of the people, led by Franklin, were very happy.
After all, Mike won them exaggerated privileges, which means that no matter their previous family background, their families will be able to live a good life from now on.
But a few people still expressed concern about this matter.
Because this is simply treating the secrets of international wizards as if they do not exist, the organization will definitely come to you afterwards.
Mike completely sneered at this. At this stage, all wizards are afraid of the raging country of Voldemort. Even if they use the ten courages of the International Wizards Federation, the other party would not dare to step into this place again.
Thinking of this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Mike's face.
Franklin on the side said strangely:
"Mike, are you okay? The train is about to drive, let's go up."
Upon hearing this, Mike immediately restrained his expression, nodded and walked forward to the first Hogwarts.
There were so many people on the platform, and everyone was trying hard to squeeze into the train entrance, afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the train, and they didn't know what they were doing earlier.
But when Mike appeared in front of them, they made way and respectfully sent Mike into the carriage, and then continued the previous crowding.
This scene made many freshmen look surprised. They could hardly imagine that the seniors with ferocious faces would treat someone so respectfully.
"Mike, everyone respects you very much."
Franklin said with a smile, but Mike shook his head with a smile.
Due to age issues, many senior Freemasons and even Mutual Aid Association members, including Benjamin, have graduated. Before coming, Franklin was worried about whether their influence in Hogwarts would be affected. But now it seems that Mike's reputation has not only not been affected, but has even become wider.
As Mike was the chief of the class and was about to enter the chief of the class, Mike and Franklin separated and walked to the chief of the class and alone.
Everyone on the road was paying respect to him, and many brave ones would come up to give their daily greetings directly.
Mike was a little tired of this and couldn't help but speed up, trying to get into the chief's office to get rid of these annoying flies.
But things obviously would not have gone so smoothly. When he stepped into the senior carriage, everyone in the carriage except Slytherin Academy stood up and looked at Mike with excitement.
"Mike, you're here!"
"You're finally here!"
"Senior Tangli!"
...
The dense greetings instantly surrounded Mike. Mike had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and responded to everyone over and over again.
Fortunately, the chiefs of the three major academies are not fools with single-digit emotional intelligence, and they did not bother Mike and quickly returned to their own position.
But their eyes were still hot when they looked at Mike.
Of course, this is not what everyone likes Mike.
After sitting down, Mike turned his gaze to Slytherin, where Draco, who had replaced the Chris-level position, was sitting side by side with Pansy, looking at Mike indignantly.
Perhaps they noticed Mike's gaze, and they quickly turned their gaze to the side again.
This behavior made Mike laugh a little. Compared to Chris, Draco was far behind.
"Mike, have you read the report on the Prophet Daily called "Savior Star"?"
A somewhat unfamiliar voice came over. Mike turned his head and saw a blonde girl who looked familiar and wearing Ravenclaw's school robe, probably Ravenclaw's new chief, was looking at him with red face.
"Of course, I read every issue of the Prophet Daily."
Mike said with a smile.
He knew very well what this girl was going to say.
The cause of the incident was because a report in August of the Prophet Daily, which made some speculations about the prophecy between Harry Potter and Voldemort, and proposed that since Harry Potter could defeat Voldemort in his infancy, he could still save the magic world of Yingguo again.
If this is the case, it would be fine. After all, those who understand the truth understand it, the people in the Prophet Daily always only talk lies, and everyone smiled and passed.
But the problem is that in order to prove that its view is correct, the Prophet Daily also released an explosive news.
That was the battle that took place in the Ministry of Magic at the end of June, in which the person who defeated the Death Eaters and Voldemort was Harry Potter.
The people were originally half-believing and half-doubted about this matter. After all, the troops of the Ministry of Magic are not vegetarians. Compared to a young wizard who has not yet grown up, they are more willing to believe that it was the powerful Aurors who defeated Voldemort.
Everyone is waiting for the Ministry of Magic to publicly refute the rumor on this matter, but surprisingly, in the face of such a situation, the Ministry of Magic did not even make a fart!
This incident gave the public great confidence, and everyone made the hope of Harry Potter to defeat Voldemort, and also gave him the title of "Star of Hope".
Logically speaking, Harry Potter should be treated like a hero no matter where he goes. In fact, this is true, but it is different at Hogwarts.
As a personal experience of the Night Attack of the Ministry of Magic, many people have a very deep understanding of this incident and are very clear that the biggest contributor to that operation should be Mike and all of them.
Harry Potter now takes all his credit on himself, which is undoubtedly a thief in everyone's opinion!
So, a boycott campaign against Harry Potter began, and Mike could almost imagine that except for a few best friends like Ron Hermione, no matter how good the rest of the people had with Harry before, they probably wouldn't give Harry a good look now, let alone others.
As expected by Mike, when Mike said that he had read the report, the female-level Lavenclaw's face turned red and she said angrily:
"Harry Potter is a thief, he stole your honor!"
The girl was very excited, but Mike just smiled softly.
He didn't take this matter seriously. After all, he had enough honor, and this honor had no effect on him except attracting the attention of the Death Eaters and Voldemort. He gave Harry to Harry, and he could also help him attract his attention.
On the contrary, he looked down on the Prophet Daily, the Ministry of Magic and those who pushed Harry to the "Star of Hope" position.
Facing a strong enemy, they not only do their best to defend their homes, but also hope that a minor child can defeat a strong enemy!
This behavior made Mike feel sick!
But Mike doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't care either.
As soon as the girl said that, everyone in the carriage was gc. Everyone, even a few seniors inside Gryffindor, were frantically scolding Harry Potter for stealing their honor.
On the contrary, the Slytherin people did not participate in this criticism. They just looked at everyone with a sneer, feeling like they were smiling at the dog biting the dog.
Ron and Hermione in the crowd were flushed when they saw this, and their bodies were trembling with anger. They finally participated in this verbal battle and spoke for Harry.
But their power is too weak. Faced with so many people's conquests, their voices are easily drowned.
Hermione was so anxious that she almost shed tears, and Pansy, Draco and others on Slytherin laughed louder.
Mike watched coldly. His previous conversation with Prime Minister Muggle made him understand one thing. The masses have always been forgetful. If they want to erase one thing, the best way to deal with it is to deal with it coldly. Now if he rashly gets involved, maybe the matter will be bigger and the longer it will stay in people's minds.
However, at this moment, a snow-white envelope came in from the door of the class-leader's car, which was not a secret room, and floated into Mike's hand.
The others in the car also saw this scene. They stopped and quarreled at Mike in an appointment.
In full view of everyone, Mike opened the envelope and saw clearly written on it.
Mr. Mike Tony:
I would be very happy if you could have lunch with me in box C.
You are faithful
Professor Sgrahorn.
Mike's brows pounded. It seemed that Professor Sgrahorn was very confident that he must know his identity, so he did not mark his identity as a new professor of potions in this letter at all.
Looking at Mike's expression, everyone's curiosity was also picked up.
Especially the Ravenclaw chiefs sitting next to Mike, out of politeness, they have been restraining themselves from peeking at the content of Mike's letters, which is not a good feeling.
The Ravenclaw girl who had been talking to Mike before might feel that her previous behavior had won Mike's favor, so she boldly asked:
"Senior Tangli, what is it written on it?"
"Nothing." Mike generously handed the envelope to everyone and asked them to circulate it in turn. "It's just an invitation, sent by the new Potions professor."
Everyone was circulating this invitation, and after seeing Professor Slughorn's autograph above, their admiration for Mike became even deeper.
Most of the seniors who are in the class have some strength at home. Most of them have heard from their parents and elders that the famous potion world leader likes to curry favor with powerful celebrities. Now that the other party has sent an invitation to Mike before he arrives at Hogwarts. This impatient behavior just shows Mike's extraordinaryness.
At this moment, several more letters were divided and fell into the hands of the girl sitting next to Mike, and the hands of a Slytherin boy.
However, Draco and Pansy do not include them.
This made the two of them look unfavorable. While muttering some things that Mike couldn't hear, they were secretly paying attention to the door of the car with their light.
Unfortunately, the letter from this carriage seemed to have been delivered. Everyone waited for more than ten minutes but did not see other letters flying in.
Seeing this, Draco's face became darker.
The girl next to Mike was so happy. She jumped up and took Mike's hand and said excitedly:
"It's getting late, let's go, Senior Tang Li!"
"Okay, no problem."
Mike agreed readily and walked out of the car first, but quietly shook the girl's hand.
The girl's expression was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and continued to follow Mike's footsteps.
After Mike and the girl left, the whole carriage became silent. The Slytherin boy who received the invitation looked at the time and said righteously:
"Draco, don't worry, something must have happened to your invitation. I'll ask Professor Slughorn for you now."
Hearing this, Draco said angrily:
"Go and go! It's just an invitation from a bad old man, I don't want to go yet!"
However, the Slytherin boy didn't listen to Draco's words at all and left the car without looking back.
Seeing this, everyone in the car laughed, and Draco's face turned red.
Mike knew nothing about the farce in the car. At this moment, he was walking with the Ravenclaw girl on the way to the box C.
The girl was a very talkative person and obviously had a good impression of Mike.
So Mike learned a lot of information about her from her.
For example, her name is Emma Walker, who is the only daughter of the Walker family.
For example, her family is a beauty and hairdressing product, focusing on the mid- and low-end market. Many famous mid- and low-end magic cosmetics on the market are made by her family.
Since then, Mike probably understood why she was so hostile to Harry.
The fact that Harry stole everyone's honor was probably just an excuse. The main reason was probably because Harry's grandfather invented the hair salon.
This cheap and easy-to-use hair salon product has a huge blow to the Walker family's business.
They are a feud!
Mike and Emma walked into the C carriage with a chatter and laughter. At this moment, there was only a chubby old man sitting in the huge carriage.
He had a glittering bald head, two beards that looked like walruses and a huge belly, which looked quite festive.
"Good afternoon, Professor Slughorn."
Mike and Emma asked with a smile.
Then the latter discovered the two of them, and quickly stood up with a smile, and greeted enthusiastically:
"Oh! It's Mike and Emma here! You guys are the first place, come and sit down."
Mike's mouth and smiled, and Shi Ran sat opposite Slughorn.
Chapter completed!
