Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Ministry of Magic, underground first floor, in the minister's office.

Mike was holding a document that contained a summary report on the current development of the magic world in the United States and was looking at it carefully.

However, he looked a bit indecent at the moment. He was slumped in the boss's chair, his legs were still on the desk, not to mention there was a toothpick in his mouth.

That way, he doesn't have the aura of a Minister of Magic at all, but more like a street kid who does nothing all day long.

But don't blame Mike, after all, he is too boring.

Unlike Chris, who likes to hold all the power in his hands, Mike is very open-minded about power. As soon as he took office, he assigned all the major official positions in various departments of the Ministry of Magic to Freemasons.

For example, Arthur was assigned to be the director of the Auror Office, Penello became Mike's assistant and secretary, and everyone else was also given very good placements.

One of the more special ones is Benjamin, who became the second-in-command of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

The reason why he failed to become the number one leader was mainly because Mike had already promised this position to Kingsley before.

However, Kingsley, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, is actually meaningless. After all, this is one of the largest departments within the Ministry of Magic, and it is impossible for Mike to hand it over to an outsider like Kingsley.

Therefore, although Kingsley is the director of the Legal Enforcement Department on the surface, he actually has no real power. The entire Legal Enforcement Department obeys Benjamin's orders.

It is precisely because of these people sharing the work that Mike can easily sit in the office and read reports.

Otherwise, the countless tasks alone would crush Mike to death in the office!

After picking up the teacup on the side and taking a sip, Mike sighed with emotion.

There is a saying that the fact that he is living a life now is a little too comfortable. If he lives like this for too long, he will probably become useless.

Shaking his head, Mike put down the teacup, stretched and prepared to get up and move around.

However, at this moment, the office door was suddenly opened.

Penello, wearing a lo suit, walked in holding a stack of documents, frowned and said to Mike:

"Mike, Sirius is here. He is making a lot of noise down there, and he said he must see you."

Hearing this, Mike was stunned for a moment as he stretched, and finally the expression on his face turned a little ugly.

He probably also knew why Blake was here.

Nodding, Mike stood up and walked downstairs with Penello.

The first basement floor where the minister's office is located is the center of the Ministry of Magic, and outsiders like Black are not qualified to go there.

Arriving at the hall of the Ministry of Magic, Mike saw Sirius Black in the crowd, surrounded by a circle of Los Santos wizards (now called Aurors).

At this time, Blake seemed to be very excited, and from time to time he would try to pull away the Aurors who surrounded him.

Fortunately, these Aurors were all elite wizards from Los Santos who had experienced many battles. Black couldn't do anything to these people without using his wand to carry out sneak attacks.

With the arrival of Mike, the crowd that had gathered quickly moved out of the way, and Blake, who was in the center of the crowd, actually changed from his previous manic appearance and gradually became quiet after seeing Mike.

Blake is not a fool. Making trouble is just a way for him to meet Mike. Now that Mike has appeared, he naturally doesn't have to act.

"Sirius, what are you doing?"

Mike said helplessly, there were many passers-by in the Ministry of Magic hall, and Black causing trouble here brought him a lot of trouble.

When Blake heard this, the muscles on his face twitched, and he saw that the curse words were about to burst out with the anger in his heart, but when the words came, he held back and just gritted his teeth and said:

"Harry is missing!"

After confirming that Blake was indeed here for Harry, Mike sighed, waved to Blake, and led Blake out of the hall to an unoccupied room next door.

They had just arrived in the room, and before Mike could even sit down, he saw Blake grabbing Mike's arm, panting and yelling at Mike:

"Where did you get Harry!"

Listening to Blake's roar, Mike did not speak, but looked at him expressionlessly.

Mike's eyes were clear and cold. Blake, who was being stared at, suddenly felt a chill rising in his heart. In an instant, the anger in his heart and his whole body were frozen. He also let go of Mike's hand. Come.

"I'm sorry about Harry's disappearance, but first of all I want to tell you that he was definitely not kidnapped by us." Mike continued to look into Blake's eyes and said seriously.

"But…"

"I know, I know very well that one of my men once had a very serious conflict with Harry, and not long ago he attacked Harry again. But I guarantee that it was all on his own initiative, and it was definitely not my fault. The order. In addition, he has been dealt with by me now, and there is absolutely no way he will go out to harm Harry again."

"Disposed of it? You mean you killed him?"

Seeing Blake's happy face, Mike didn't know how to explain Victor's current situation to him. After a moment of silence, he could only say:

"Roughly the same."

"You still have some conscience!" Black slapped the table and said, "I believe what you say, Mike, but the problem now is that Harry is missing! And his disappearance has something to do with you, so you have to give me a statement!"

"I know! I've already been looking for him!"

"How is this possible! If you had started looking for him a long time ago, how could he have escaped with your strength? You are the Minister of Magic now! Do you want to tell me that Harry can still escape from a Minister of Magic who is also the Minister of Magic? The palm of the legendary wizard’s hand?”

Seeing Blake, who was excited again, Mike was speechless.

He shook his head, casually pulled out a stack of newspapers from the nearby bookshelf, threw it in front of Blake and said:

"You must be out of your mind because you've read a newspaper in the past two days and you wouldn't have said such a thing!"

Blake didn't react much to Mike's weird words. Now all his attention has been attracted by a missing person notice in the newspaper in front of him.

The protagonist of this missing person notice is Harry.

Blake hurriedly opened a few more newspapers. In the most conspicuous positions of these newspapers, without exception, there were missing persons notices about Harry.

The expression on Blake's face instantly became awkward. He finally understood that he had misunderstood Mike.

"Hug...sorry."

A gentle apology came from Blake's mouth, but Mike just waved his hand.

He knew very well that it was good for Blake to apologize to this extent, which also proved that his temperament had indeed improved during this time.

It would have been great if he had stopped apologizing before and wouldn't have smashed your head.

The distraught Black did not continue his relationship with McDormand, but after getting the answer he wanted to know, he soon embarked on the journey to find Harry again.

Of course, before leaving, he also solemnly told Mike that he must continue to search for Harry and notify him as soon as possible if he found Harry.

Mike still didn't say anything, just nodded to show that he understood.

Blake just left.

It wasn't until Blake disappeared from his sight that Mike sighed softly. Being able to deal with Blake so easily now was the best result. Mike didn't want to fall out with Blake unless he had to.

Thinking like this, Mike's eyes involuntarily fell on the "Stories of the Poet Peter Bean" on the bookshelf nearby.

Mike did not deceive Black. He had indeed exhausted all methods to find Harry, but in the end he found nothing.

As Black said, this is extremely abnormal. After all, Mike is not only a legendary wizard, but also the Minister of Magic. Logically speaking, Harry, a wizard who only knows one, two hands and three legs, has nowhere to escape. , especially since he had just recently returned to the country of Yu.

In this regard, Mike's guess is that the Deathly Hallows in Harry's hand, the invisibility cloak, has finally released its true power.

This is not Mike's delusion.

In fact, you can tell by comparison. Among the three holy weapons of death, the elder wand is the most powerful wand today, bar none.

The Resurrection Stone can summon the souls of the deceased.

The power of these two Deathly Hallows should not only be shocking, but should also be beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

But what can the invisibility cloak do with them, which are also the Three Hallows of Death?

It can only be used as a general invisibility cloak. Although it will not gradually lose effectiveness over time like other invisibility cloaks, it has no special effect in concealment.

From Harry's use of it before, it can be seen that it cannot hide sounds or footprints, and it is even weak in hiding magic. Others only need to use magic perception or mental power to swipe it. Aware of its existence, this low effect is obviously inconsistent with its name of the Three Holy Artifacts of Death.

In addition, Harry's current situation is very similar to the abilities displayed by the third child after receiving the Death Cloak in "The Tales of Peter the Bard", such as ignoring divination, ignoring magic perception, ignoring mental power exploration, and being closed and weakened...

Combining these points, the invisibility cloak in Harry's hands now is in its prime state, and with its existence, as long as Harry is willing, he is very likely to be able to hide until the end of time, just like the third child in the story. As time goes by.

This is simply terrible!

Lifting his head and taking a deep breath, Mike stood up from his seat and walked towards the fireplace nearby.

Today, besides working at the Ministry of Magic, he has another important job.

That was to attend the Magic Summit held in many European countries including Miyang, France, and Australia. Although he was already late, he still had to go.

With a flash of fire in the room, Mike had disappeared into the drifting smoke.

At the same time, in a small palace floating on the sea out of thin air on the high seas, Mike's figure suddenly appeared.

Different from the classical Eastern European castle style outside, the architectural style inside the palace is closer to ancient Greece and is very artistic. Rows of white marble columns stand in the spacious palace, with mirror-like bright floor tiles and towering The endless ceiling that reaches into the clouds gives the entire palace a sacred feel.

But it's not the style that Mike likes. From his point of view, the decoration here is still a bit crude and rough. He prefers the deep and elegant style of Western European castles.

There is a group of stone tables and stone benches placed in the center of the palace, and several men and women in different clothes are already sitting scattered among them.

Seeing Mike's arrival, a witch with an ivory pipe in her hand suddenly gave an unknown smile, raised her head slightly and said:

"Mr. Mike Townley, you are really on time."

Ignoring the taunting of the smoking girl, Mike looked around and saw that everyone had arrived and said:

"You invited me to come to the meeting today. Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the wizards and witches standing or sitting around them instantly became a little ugly.

Especially the French Minister of Magic standing in the corner. His originally fair face has now become darker. This color change from light to dark is extremely obvious in this pure white palace.

Finally, it seemed that he couldn't bear it any longer.

He clenched his hands and walked out under the gloating eyes of other wizards around him, and said to Mike:

"Sir Mike Townley, don't you think you should first explain to me why you chose to have the battlefield where you and Chris Flint fight within our country?

The battle between you two has caused immeasurable losses to our country and seriously violated the International Statute of Secrecy. The latter is a matter of the International Federation of Magic. I have no right to interfere and do not want to. But for the former, I think you must give me a satisfactory compensation. "

Hearing this, the wizards around him turned their attention to Mike again.

The corners of Mike's eyes moved slightly, and his heart began to become clearer.

The purpose of this meeting was actually made very clear from the beginning.

It was to discuss whether it was legal for him to replace Chris in taking over the Ministry of Magic of the United States, and whether other countries should recognize whether Mike had the right to rule the wizarding world of the United States.

The reason why the French Minister of Magic jumped out to mention compensation just now was probably a test.

If Mike had a weak attitude, he would easily hand over the compensation.

Then I am afraid that other countries will also attack together and start asking for Mike's interests.

This was something Mike would never allow to happen.

After thinking about this, the corners of Mike's mouth also raised. He tilted his head and looked at the black-faced French Minister of Magic with doubtful eyes, and softly uttered a few words from his mouth:

"Ask me for money? Do you want to die?"
