Chapter 443 Dinner

"Mike, you are a famous person. When I retire at home, I often hear news about you. I have to say, you are such an amazing young man!"

As soon as Mike and Emma sat down, Professor Sgrahorn warmly spoke to Mike.

But Mike just responded politely. He knew very well that such people only value interests and have no value of deep friendship.

Seeing this, Professor Sgrahorn was not angry, so he turned around and started to communicate with Emma.

He first praised Emma from head to toe, and then he tentatively inquired about the Emma family, showing great enthusiasm.

But after he learned that Emma's family had a very bad business recently due to Voldemort's return, he almost went bankrupt, but his attitude turned sharply and became cold and became unlucky.

At this time, others were also present one after another, so Professor Slughorn's attention naturally shifted to others and began to fetch the other's information.

This behavior made Emma very dissatisfied. She pouted and approached Mike and whispered:

"This is such a snobbish guy, no wonder my parents don't like him!"

"There is no need to worry about it." Mike smiled and shook his head, "This kind of person is just a clown."

Emma nodded vigorously when she heard this, and then began to introduce the identities of these people to Mike.

"Look, the black-haired boy named Belby Marcos, he had nothing to say, but his uncle invented the wolf poison and received the Merlin medal for this!

There is also the man who looks very sissy. His name is Shabini. His mother is a famous black widow! He has been married seven times, but every husband died incredibly strangely, leaving only a huge inheritance for her! We are all saying that Shabini's mother designed to kill those poor people. She is a complete cousin! We don't want to play with him. And..."

Mike felt speechless. He found Emma was like an omniscient intelligence commissioner, who could tell anyone's family situation.

But soon, Emma couldn't continue.

Because when everyone found out that Mike was here, everyone except the black guy from Slytherin gathered around Mike and began to talk and chat with Mike.

This made Professor Slughorn a little unbelievable, because judging from the information he learned, Mike was just a wizard from Muggle.

Although Mike won the Final Three Cup and also won the Merlin Class II Medal, so what?

Mike's Final Three Cup championship was won with Harry. Slughorn strongly suspected that he had been using Harry's light, and the Merlin medal was obtained by protecting a car of classmates from the attacks of dementors.

Slughorn felt very ridiculous about this, and even began to feel that the standards for the Ministry of Magic for awarding the Merlin Medal were so low that there was no bottom line.

You should know that Dementors were still slaves of the Ministry of Magic at that time, and even if they had 10,000 courage, they would not dare to blatantly attack the students on the Hogwarts Express.

In summary, in Slater Ghornen's eyes, Mike is just a boy with better luck and some strength and talent, so he did not pay too much attention to Mike.

But now Professor Slughorn suddenly felt that his judgment of Mike was a bit too hasty.

Look at the respectful look of those who were invited to treat Mike, it was hard for Slughorn to imagine that this would be a treatment that a mediocre person could receive.

Slughorn nodded secretly, slightly improving Mike's status in his heart.

And at this moment, the carriage door was opened again.

Ginny walked in timidly.

Seeing that the person coming was not Harry, Slughorn's face flashed with disappointment, and he greeted him with a smile on his face, and arranged Ginny in a seat in the corner.

Her arrival also attracted the attention of others, and the conspicuous hair immediately betrayed her identity - Weasley.

Suddenly, many people in the car frowned. No matter from any perspective, the people of the Weasley family were not qualified to stay here with them. They really didn't understand why Professor Slughorn let this little girl come in.

The malicious eyes of everyone made Ginny very uneasy. She looked aggrieved and kept rushing towards the corner with fear, as if she wanted to squeeze herself into the wall and hide herself.

Seeing this, Mike quickly got up and sat next to Ginny.

"Hey, Ginny, we're meeting again."

Ginny was originally shocked by the person sitting next to her, but after hearing the familiar voice, the smile on her face bloomed again.

"Mike! You're here too, that's great!"

Ginny said happily, then attached to Mike's ear and whispered:

"The people here are so surprised that they are all looking at me. Is there anything wrong with me?"

"No, you're fine, they're the ones in the problem."

Mike replied firmly.

Mike's answer gave Ginny courage, and she nodded heavily after hearing this.

Everyone was also a little confused when they saw that Mike actually left them and sat next to Ginny.

They couldn't figure out why a person like Mike was involved with the Weasley's youngest daughter.

Moreover, when Mike talked to Ginny, he did not deliberately lower his voice, so many people heard Mike say they had problems.

Many people now have expressions of shame and embarrassment on their faces.

However, this also explains why Mike accompanied Ginny, that is, he couldn't see a little girl in such an awkward environment alone.

Everyone who figured it out became even more admirable when they looked at Mike, especially Emma, ​​whose red eyes were about to pop out.

A person as powerful as Mike actually has a heart like gold!

This is exactly the same as the protagonist in the Knight novel!

On the other side, perhaps because of too much tension, Ginny continued to tell Mike continuously:

"...It's really amazing. I was practicing the bat spell in the carriage. Professor Sgrahorn suddenly broke in. He said that my bat spell is very good, so he invited me to have lunch together. By the way, do you know the bat spell? It's a spell passed down from our family, and it can..."

Listening to Ginny's chatter, the smile on Mike's face never disappeared.

When he read the original work in his previous life, he still hated Ginny, after all, the actress she played was really not beautiful.

But now Mike has changed his mind. Ginny is really cute, making people want to take care of her.

Time passed little by little, and the guest Sgrahorn whom he cared about the most today finally arrived.

"Harry! You are finally here! Oh! I miss you Mr. Longbottom?"

Sgrahorn greeted Harry and Neville enthusiastically, but Harry and Neville's expressions were very awkward, and they were led by Sgrahorn like a robot.

After Harry arrived, the originally harmonious and lively atmosphere in the car became deserted. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Harry with a cold face.

Sgrahorn obviously didn't realize the situation in the car, so he pulled Harry to introduce to him the people in the car and their family backgrounds one by one.

After a round of introduction, Sgrahorn pulled Harry's hand again and introduced with a smile:

"I don't need to introduce this person too much, right? This is a heavy-weight star. We already met during the summer vacation. The famous 'Savior Star'! Harry Potter!"

After saying that, Professor Slughorn took the lead in applause. When he wanted to invite such a famous person, everyone should applaud and welcome him.

However, the reality is that no matter how Slughorn instigated, no one at the scene welcomed Mike except Ginny and Neville.

Everyone was just quietly looking at Professor Slughorn and Harry with a mocking look on their faces.

Some people even let out a strange laugh with a strong sarcastic meaning, making Harry's face flushed.

At this time, the scene in the carriage No. C became a bit similar to the previous classmate's carriage.

The people at the scene were roughly divided into three groups, most of whom gathered around Mike and looked at Harry hostilely, while Ginny, Neville and others gathered around Harry. As for the Slytherins, they hid in the corner and watched coldly.

At this time, Slughorn also noticed something abnormal. His eyes rolled and he immediately understood.

His previous estimate of the situation in Hogwarts was wrong.

Harry Potter's reputation in Hogwarts is obviously not as high as that boy named Mike! And the two are still in a hostile relationship!

Professor Slughorn retired for too long, so he didn't understand what was wrong here, but it didn't matter. His strategy was to have a good relationship with both ends, so he didn't care whether there was any conflict between Mike and Harry!

Thinking of this, Slughorn coughed and continued:

"Okay, it's really pleasant. Everyone, sit down, our lunch is about to begin."

Slughorn arranged for Harry to sit next to him, then took out lunch boxes from his basket and distributed the napkins inside to everyone.

"Sorry, gentlemen and ladies. The food in the food truck's licorice wand is always too strong. I, a poor, older guy, can't digest these things." Slughorn said while directing the wand to open the lunch box, "So I brought the food for this dinner myself. Of course, if any of you are willing to share the lunch you bring, you can take it out. Let's think this is the kind of interesting picnic, and we share the food we bring together."

The foods Professor Slughorn brought this time were very exquisite, but perhaps he arranged the scale of these foods according to his own consumption, which was a bit unsatisfactory for Mike, who was in the developmental period.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other with a little surprised expression.

To be honest, people who can bring lunch on the train are either people who are so poor that they can’t afford to buy lunch on the train, or people who are so wealthy that they dislike the poor lunch on the train.

Very few of the people here belong to these two types of people, so everyone was a little dissatisfied when they heard this.

They didn't understand why Slughorn invited them over but didn't prepare enough food. Is this trying to make them hungry?

But when Ginny heard this, her eyes lit up but soon dimmed. Out of her past habits and love for her children, even though her family is no longer short of money, Mrs. Weasley brought some sandwiches for Ginny and Ron.

But, can those shabby sandwiches really come out?

Ginny fell into deep entanglement.

After a moment of confusion, Ginny gritted her teeth, took out the large sandwich wrapped in oil paper from her schoolbag and placed it on the table.

"This is made by my mother. If... if you don't dislike it, please use it."

Ginny's voice was so light that everyone could hardly hear it. It could be seen that the girl was very nervous now, as if she was afraid that everyone would dislike the food she brought was not good enough.

But the situation she was afraid of did not happen. Everyone had clearly seen Mike's attitude towards Ginny before, so at this time, everyone, including Slytherin, did not express mockery of Ginny's behavior of taking out the shabby sandwich. Of course, they would not touch the sandwich, after all, the thing looked not very delicious.

Ginny's expression was a little disappointed, and she could tell that these people didn't like her sandwiches very much.

She instinctively wanted to take back the sandwich, but Neville, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, snatched the sandwich, stuffed it into her mouth, while muttering something delicious and so on.

Seeing this, many people present, including Slughorn, showed contempt. In their opinion, the only heir to Longbottom family was probably not very good at using it.

Only Ginny, she was looking at Neville with a look of surprise.

Mike saw all this, he chuckled, then snapped his fingers in everyone's surprised gaze, summoned Shuke and Beta and asked them to prepare some food.

Slughorn's eyes were almost straightened. He never expected that a wizard like Mike, who was born in a Muggle, would have a treasured animal like a house elves that almost exists in the hands of ancient families!

"Mike, are these two house elves... yours?"

"Yes."

"Is that so enviable? I always wanted to have a house elf, but unfortunately this thing is so precious." Slughorn said with envy, "Can you tell me where you came from?"
