Chapter 442： Professor's invitation

After ending the negotiations with the Muggle Prime Minister, Mike ushered in the start of Hogwarts.

When he took his luggage and Franklin to stand again at the crowded Nine and Three Quarters station, it felt like a world away.

He did too much this summer, especially the final contract signed with the Muggle Prime Minister, which was directly blown up inside the Freemasonry.

Among them, most people headed by Franklin were very happy.

After all, Mike has won exaggerated privileges for them, which means that regardless of their previous family background, their family can live a good life for a while.

But there are still a few people who expressed concern about this matter.

Because this is simply taking the International Wizarding Secrecy Law as non-existent, this organization will definitely come to the door afterwards.

Mike was completely sneered at this. At this stage, all wizards are afraid of Voldemort's raging country, and even if they borrow the ten courage of the International Wizards Federation, they will not dare to step into this place.

Thinking of this, Mike's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

Franklin on the side said strangely:

"Mike, how are you? The train is about to leave, let's go up."

Hearing this, Mike converged his expression immediately, nodded and walked quickly over Hogwarts.

There were so many people on the platform. Everyone was squeezing towards the entrance of the train. They were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the train. They didn't know what they were doing earlier.

But when Mike appeared in front of them, they unanimously gave way and respectfully sent Mike into the carriage, which continued the previous congestion.

This scene gave many freshmen a look of surprise. They couldn't imagine that those grim-faced seniors would treat someone so respectfully.

"Mike, everyone respects you."

Franklin said with a smile, but Mike smiled and shook his head.

Due to age issues, many senior members of Freemasonry and Mutual Aid, including Benjamin, have graduated. Before coming to Franklin, he was worried about whether their influence in Hogwarts would be affected. But now it seems Not only did Mike’s reputation remain unaffected, it even became wider.

Because Mike had to enter the prefect compartment as a prefect, Mike and Franklin separated and walked towards the prefect compartment alone.

Everyone on the road respectfully pays attention to him, and there are many bold ones who will directly come up for daily greetings.

Mike was a little tired of this and couldn't help speeding up his pace, wanting to enter the prefect's office to get rid of these annoying flies.

But things obviously won't go so smoothly. When he stepped into the prefect coach, everyone in the coach except Slytherin College stood up and looked at Mike with excitement.

"Mike, here you are!"

"You finally came!"

"Senior Tomley!"

...

The intensive greetings immediately surrounded Mike, and as a last resort, Mike could only squeeze out a smile to respond to everyone over and over again.

Fortunately, the prefects of the three major academies are not single-digit EQ fools, and did not pester Mike, and soon returned to their positions.

But the eyes they looked at Mike were still hot.

Of course, not everyone likes Mike.

After sitting down, Mike turned his gaze to Slytherin, where Draco, who replaced Chris, was sitting side by side with Pansy, looking at Mike angrily.

Perhaps they noticed Mike's gaze, and they quickly turned their gaze to the side.

Mike wanted to laugh at this behavior. Compared to Chris, Draco was far behind.

"Mike, did you read the report in the Daily Prophet called "Salvation Star"?"

A somewhat unfamiliar voice came over, and Mike turned his head and saw that a blond girl who looked familiar, dressed in a Ravenclaw school robe, should be the new Ravenclaw prefect, was looking at him with a flushed face. .

"Of course, I read every issue of the Daily Prophet."

Mike said with a smile.

He knew exactly what this girl was going to say.

The cause of the incident was a report in the Daily Prophet in August, which made some speculations about the prophecy between Harry Potter and Voldemort, and proposed that Harry Potter could defeat Voldemort since he was a baby. , Then now he can still save the magic world in the country again.

So that’s the only thing to do. After all, everyone who understands the truth understands the truth. The group of people in the Daily Prophet will only talk nonsense. Everyone smiled and passed away.

But the problem is that the Daily Prophet broke out an explosive news in order to prove his point is correct.

That was the battle that took place in the Ministry of Magic at the end of June, in which Harry Potter was the one who defeated the Death Eaters and Voldemort.

The people were originally half-believing about this. After all, the Ministry of Magic's troops were not vegetarian. They were more willing to believe that the mighty Aurors defeated Voldemort than a young wizard who had not yet grown up.

Everyone is waiting for the Ministry of Magic to make a public statement on this matter, but surprisingly, in the face of such a situation, the Ministry of Magic did not even release a fart!

This incident gave the people great confidence. Everyone made Harry Potter the hope of defeating Voldemort and gave him the title of ‘Star of Hope’.

It stands to reason that Harry Potter should be treated like a hero wherever he goes. In fact, it is exactly the same, but it is different at Hogwarts.

As the first-hand experience of the night attack on the Ministry of Magic, many people have a fairly deep understanding of this matter, and it is also clear that the greatest hero of that operation should be Mike and all of them.

Harry Potter now takes all the credit for himself, which is undoubtedly a thief in everyone's eyes!

Ever since, a boycott campaign against Harry Potter began. Mike could almost imagine it. Except for a few buddies such as Ron Hermione, the rest, even if they had a good relationship with Harry before, I’m afraid now. It wouldn't give Harry a good look, let alone other people.

Mike's expectation was not bad at all. When Mike said that he had read the report, a small face of the Ravenclaw female prefect turned red and said angrily:

"Harry Potter is a thief, he stole your honor!"

The girl was very excited, but Mike just smiled.

He didn’t pay much attention to this matter. After all, he already had enough honors. Moreover, for him, this honor had no effect except to attract the attention of Death Eaters and Voldemort. Harry also gave it to Harry, and allowed him to help himself attract attention.

On the contrary, he looked down on the Daily Prophet, the Ministry of Magic, and even those who put Harry on the position of the "Star of Hope".

In the face of a powerful enemy, they not only did their best to defend their homeland, but they also expected a minor child to defeat the powerful enemy!

This behavior makes Mike feel sick!

But Mike didn't care, but it didn't mean that others didn't care either.

As soon as the girl said what she said, all the people in the carriage were gc. Everyone, even the senior seniors in Gryffindor, madly scolded Harry Potter for stealing them. Kudos to everyone.

On the contrary, the Slytherin people didn't participate in the criticism. They just sneered and looked at the people, quite a bit of a smile watching a dog bit a dog.

Ron and Hermione in the crowd flushed at the sight, and their bodies were constantly trembling with anger. They finally participated in the scolding war and spoke for Harry.

It's just that their strength is too weak, facing the conquest of so many people, their voices are easily drowned out.

Hermione was so anxious that her tears were about to shed, and Pansy, Draco and others on the Slytherin side laughed louder.

Mike just watched with cold eyes. The previous conversation with the Muggle Prime Minister made him understand one thing. The masses are always forgetful. If you want to erase one thing, the best way to deal with it is to deal with it coldly. And go in, maybe things will get worse and stay in people's minds longer.

However, at this moment, a snow-white envelope got in through the door of the prefect's compartment, which was not a secret room, and floated into Mike's hands.

The other people in the car also saw this scene, and they stopped to argue with each other and stared at Mike intently.

In full view, Mike opened the envelope and saw it clearly read.

Mr. Mike Townley:

If you can have lunch with me in Box C, I will be very happy.

Your faithful

Professor Sgrahorn.

Mike's brows twitched, and it seemed that Professor Sgrahorn was very confident that he must know his identity, so he did not identify himself as the new potions professor in this letter.

Looking at Mike's expression, everyone's curiosity was also aroused.

Especially the few Ravenclaw prefects sitting next to Mike, out of politeness, they have been restraining themselves from peeking at the contents of Mike's letters. This kind of taste is uncomfortable.

The Ravenclaw girl who spoke to Mike before might think that her previous behavior has won Mike’s favor, so she boldly asked:

"Senior Tomley, what's on it?"

"Nothing." Mike generously handed the envelope to everyone for them to pass on in turn, "It's just an invitation, sent by the new potions professor."

Everyone circulated this invitation, and after seeing the autograph of Professor Slughorn on it, their admiration for Mike became even deeper.

Most of the prefects sitting here have some strength in the family, and most of them have heard the words of their parents and elders for the character of this famous potion world champion who likes to indulge in powerful celebrities. And now the other party sent an invitation to Mike before he got to Hogwarts. This kind of impatient behavior just shows Mike's extraordinary.

At this moment, a few more letters came in, and they fell into the hands of the girl sitting next to Mike and the hands of a Slytherin boy.

However, Draco and Pansy are not included.

This makes the faces of the two people not very pretty, while mumbling something that Mike can't hear, while secretly paying attention to the door of the carriage from the corner of the eye.

It's a pity that the letter in this carriage seems to be delivered, and everyone has waited for ten minutes and no other letters have come in.

Draco's face grew darker when he saw it.

The girl next to Mike was very happy. She jumped up and took Mike's hand and said excitedly:

"It's getting late, let's go, Senior Tangli!"

"Ok, no problem."

Mike readily agreed and walked out of the carriage first, but calmly threw away the girl's hand.

The girl's expression was a little lost, but she adjusted her mood quickly 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 will help you ask Professor Slughorn."

Hearing that Draco had a black line on his face and said angrily:

"Go go! It's just an invitation from a bad old man, I don't want to go yet!"

However, the Slytherin boy did not listen to Draco at all, and left the carriage without looking back.

Everyone in the carriage laughed when they saw it, and Draco's face flushed.

Mike didn't know anything about the farce in the car, and he was walking with the Ravenclaw **** the way to box c.

That girl is a very talkative person and obviously has a good opinion of Mike.

Ever since, Mike learned a lot about her from her.

For example, her name is Emma Walker, the only daughter of the Walker family.

For another example, her family makes beauty and hairdressing products, focusing on the low-end market. Many of the well-known mid- and low-end magic cosmetics on the market come from her family.

And since then Mike probably understood why she was so hostile to Harry.

The fact that Harry stole everyone's honor is probably just an excuse. The main reason is probably because Harry's grandfather invented the hairdressing spirit.

This cheap and easy-to-use hairdressing product has dealt a huge blow to the Walker family's business They are feuds!

Mike and Emma walked into the C carriage talking and laughing. At this moment, there was only one chubby old man sitting in this huge carriage.

He has a gleaming bald head, two walrus-like beards and a huge belly, which looks quite festive.

"Good afternoon, Professor Slughorn."

Mike and Emma said hello with a smile.

And the latter found them both, quickly stood up with a smile, and greeted enthusiastically:

"Oh! Mike and Emma are here! You are the first, come sit down."

The corner of Mike's mouth and a smile appeared, and Shi Shiran sat down opposite Slughorn.

He wants to see what kind of medicine this old man gourd sells today.
