Chapter 445
Looking at Ginny's pitiful big eyes, Mike shook his head helplessly.
He originally wanted to continue watching for a while to observe Harry's progress this summer, but now it seems that if he doesn't take action, he will probably have a grudge against Ginny and the others.
Taking a deep breath, Mike took out his wand and shook it gently.
Immediately afterwards, a huge circle of magic power swept out with fierce air waves centered on Mike.
Whether it is the spell of protection formed by Emma and the others or the spell of peace guarding released by Harinavi, they are all vulnerable to this vast wave of magic power, and are swept away in the moment they come into contact with it.
The waves of air followed one after another slap on everyone, knocking them away.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was mixed with the pain of men and women. Mike did not hold back this blow. Emma and his group of people dared to bully Harry so blatantly. He had to give them some punishment.
Emma and others who were thrown out originally wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but then the voice of Mike's magic power came over.
"Stop it all, Harry is my friend."
As soon as this statement came out, the scene immediately became stalemate. Emma and others were obviously at a loss, while Harry and Neville were lying on the ground, gasping for breath. Ginny was groping on Harry with a nervous look on her face, not caring about Neville.
‘Poor Neville.’
After secretly observing Navig for less than a second, Mike looked at Professor Slughorn who was standing aside and said:
"Professor, I think it's getting late. Maybe our dinner will end."
"ah?"
Slughorn woke up from his dullness when he heard this and couldn't help but scream.
He was completely shocked by Mike's performance just now. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that there would be students who could defeat all the spells of protection and peace guarding at the same time.
Although these two advanced protection spells are just inferior products released by the little wizard, they are advanced protection spells after all!
What's more, Mike didn't use any powerful spells at all. He did all this by just bursting out the magic power in his body. Even he couldn't do such a thing!
However, what surprised Slughorn the most was not Mike's strength, but Mike's prestige among students.
He could tell from the things that these students turned a blind eye to their own words and even secretly ridiculed them that these students were all proud and unruly.
But just such a group of naughty kids were as obedient as puppies in front of Mike. They were yelled and quieted down.
Slughorn's old brain was spinning rapidly, and he had secretly promoted Mike to the first tier of his attention list, at the same level as Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
"Oh! Is it already so late?" Professor Slughorn, who came to his senses, looked at the dim light outside the car window and said pretentiously, "Everyone should go back and change clothes, we are about to arrive in Hogwarts."
Hearing this, Mike nodded. Slughorn was a smart man. He understood what he meant and did not continue to pursue the matter. Instead, he let it go decisively, which made him very satisfied.
He smiled and bowed slightly to Slughorn, then looked at Emma and others with a blank expression and said:
"Why are you still standing there? Get moving!"
As soon as this said, Emma and others, who had been slumped on the ground and completely ignored Slughorn's orders, then they moved quickly, and seeing this, Slughorn's smile became even more embarrassing.
But at this moment, Mike obviously didn't care about him. Mike quickly came to Harry's side, helped him up and asked:
"Are you okay? Harry."
"I...I'm fine, just...Navi..."
Harry dodged his eyes and refused to go to Mike, but his finger pointed at Neville beside him.
At this time, Neville looked extremely embarrassed. The range of the Ping An Guardian spell summoned by the two of them was very small and could not completely cover them at all. This caused many spills to hit him and Harry, causing some damage to them.
"It's over...my robe...grandma will definitely scold me to death!"
Navi, who was covered in scars, looked at his already ragged school uniform and robe with red eyes, and was almost crying with grievance.
Seeing this, Mike shook his head, swung his wand and swung it over with a curse of repairing the original curse.
Under the influence of magic, Neville's robe was quickly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Neville was startled when he saw this. He got up from the ground in a hurry and said to Mike stutteringly:
"Merlin's beard! Well...I mean...thank you, Mike!"
"You're welcome."
Mike responded, then looked at Harry again,
"Harry, we're going to school soon. You guys change your clothes first. In addition, I will solve the malice that those people have towards you. Please believe me. But it will take me a while. Please try to keep a low profile for the time being."
Ha said thank you in a slight voice, and then limped out of the car with Ginny's support. Neville followed them alone, waving at Mike with a smile while walking.
Shaking his head, Mike said goodbye to Professor Slughorn, and walked out of the car with the latter's somewhat stiff smile.
"Mike, is it okay? I heard you are fighting here."
Outside the carriage, Franklin was already waiting early. When he saw Mike appear, he immediately leaned up and asked nervously.
"I'm fine, but many people in Hogwarts are a bit hostile to Harry. You can arrange it. First, let us calm down and let them not cause trouble for Harry."
"I'm afraid this is useless, right?" Franklin said with some embarrassment. "Even if they don't do it, others will..."
"Let's take one step at a time."
"Understood."
Mike walked forward expressionlessly, while Franklin walked towards the other cars.
...
Half an hour later, Mike walked down from the Night Qi carriage and officially set foot on the land of Hogwarts.
Hagrid is taking care of the Ye Qi who has completed his mission in this square.
The relationship between Mike and Hagrid has improved a lot now, but Mike still doesn't like this scruffy and weird-behaved semi-giant.
So, Mike pretended not to see the other person and sneaked into the castle hall.
Like in previous years, four long tables were neatly placed in the Hogwarts Hall, and countless lit candles floated in the air. While illuminating the huge auditorium, it also covered the starlight on the magic ceiling above its head, making the black look like an ordinary black ceiling.
At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the auditorium. The people on the Ravenclaw's long table discovered Mike at the first time and surrounded him and brought him to the top of the Ravenclaw's long table.
This is a symbolic act. Almost everyone sitting in this position in the academy is the uncrowned king or the most respected person of this academy.
In previous years, only the seventh-grade head of Ravenclaw College could do this position, but this year's seventh-grade head sat at Mike's lower head. Not only did he not feel dissatisfied, he even happily told Mike about his interesting stories during the summer vacation and expressed his congratulations on Mike's high score in the exam.
Mike responded with great care, but his eyes kept floating towards the staff seats. He wanted to confirm Dumbledore's current state of injury, which was quite closely related to his next plan.
Finally, about ten minutes before the branch ceremony, Dumbledore and the professors came to their seats, and the branch hat and its large chair also reached their seats.
There was no need for Dumbledore's command. The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone was familiar with the next process and turned their attention to the door of the auditorium.
With Dumbledore's light cough, the door to the auditorium finally opened.
Professor McGonagall, wearing a slim lace robe, raised his head and walked into the auditorium like a big cock leading the little chickens to move, and finally stopped beside the branch hat.
At this time, all the old students in the auditorium also gathered on them. The old students were silent and had serious expressions. This was a welcome ceremony for the new students that they held every year, aiming to satisfy their evil taste of wanting to see the new students' nervous and uneasy expressions.
It turns out that they can succeed every time, just like now, those freshmen who are nervous and afraid are almost trembling.
After a period of time of looking at each other, the Sorting Hat began to sing the weird songs it had prepared for a year.
Like last year, this is a song that encourages everyone to unite and overcome difficulties, and there is nothing to say.
After he finished singing, the branch ceremony finally got to the point - Professor McGonagall started to roll the show.
Looking at the boys and girls sitting on the high chair with a look of confusion and nervousness, everyone was quite touched.
"Hey, Mike, did you think we were as stupid as them at that time?"
Franklin asked without looking back, but after hearing his voice, Mike was startled.
"When did you come? I was shocked!"
"Oh, is that? I've been here long ago."
"Has the mission been completed?"
"Of course, I'm not going to be able to do it myself." Franklin muttered, but the next moment he suddenly poked Mike with his arm and said a little excitedly, "Look, the first Ravenclaw this year has appeared! Mike, get ready, as the leader, you are going to greet her!"
Mike also came back to his senses when he heard this. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the branch hat. He saw a girl wearing a pair of thick glasses walking towards him timidly.
Seeing Mike looking at her, her already cringe-free steps stopped and a look of fear appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Mike quickly showed a kind smile and stepped forward to welcome the girl back.
At this time, the other Ravenclaws also stood up, and they smiled and clapped, welcoming the arrival of the new members.
Perhaps because of shyness, the girl's head, which was already down, drooped even lower. Mike holding her hand could clearly feel the stiffness of her body.
Mike arranged it in a seat reserved for the freshmen in the middle of the long table. As soon as he sat down, the Ravenclaws gathered around him, comforting the little girl with words and words.
Mike returned to his first position to welcome the next freshman.
This scene was repeated on the long tables of other colleges, but the situation on Gryffindor was obviously even more unique.
Perhaps I had heard of the legend about Harry on the train. Whether or not the new students of Gryffindor were born in the wizarding world, they all gathered to Harry after coming to the long table of Gryffindor and greeted him excitedly.
However, Harry was obviously in a bad mood at the moment, and his injuries were not healed yet, so he could only force his face to smile and deal with these little kids.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people. Except for a few Harry's best friends in Gryffindor, almost everyone was laughing, especially on Slytherin, where Draco was almost dying of laughter.
The sharp laughter made Harry's face even more gloomy. If he could, he would want to rush up and punch Draco's face that deserved to be beaten!
"Harry,"
Hermione looked at Harry worriedly and reached out and patted Harry on his shoulder.
But the latter pushed her hand away and looked at the bare plate in front of him without saying a word.
The Gryffindor freshmen around him also dispersed after seeing Harry's dark face.
Twenty minutes later, the branch ceremony finally ended.
Mike sat back on his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Reception of freshmen is really not an easy task for him, and those naughty kids are really too difficult to do.
At this time, Dumbledore, who was on the staff's seat, stood up, and he looked around the students sitting below the stage with a smile, his eyes as gentle as a hard-working farmer watching his thriving crops.
"Hmm." Dumbledore covered his mouth and coughed lightly. The raised hand was tied with a thick layer of silk cloth, which made people unable to see the real situation of the hand. But despite this, everyone could still see that the hand wrapped in cloth had significantly narrowed a lot compared to the other hand, and looked extremely strange.
After hearing the cough, everyone in the audience turned to look at Dumbledore. Seeing this, Dumbledore said:
Chapter completed!
