Chapter 443： ? Dinner

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

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

It's just that Mike just responded politely. He knew very well that this kind of person only values ​​interests, and has no value for deep friendship at all.

Seeing Professor Sglahorne, he didn't get angry, and he turned his head and began to communicate with Emma.

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

But when he learned that Emma's family had recently suffered a bad business due to Voldemort's return, and was almost bankrupt, his attitude changed sharply and became steadfast.

At this time, other people also showed up, so Professor Hu Slughorn's attention naturally shifted to others, and began to extract information from them.

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

"This is really a snob, no wonder my parents don't like him!"

"No need to rest assured." Mike smiled and shook his head. "This kind of people are just clowns."

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

"Look, that black-haired boy is Bellby Marcos. He doesn't have much to say, but his uncle invented the wolf poison potion and received the Merlin Medal for it!

And that sissy looking man, his name is Shabini, and his mother is the famous black widow! I have been married seven times, but every husband died extremely strangely, leaving her with a huge legacy! We are all saying that Shabini’s mother designed to kill those poor people. She is a complete cousin! We are not willing to play with him. and also……"

Mike felt a little speechless. He found that Emma was like an all-knowing intelligence commissioner, able to talk about anyone's family situation.

But soon, Emma couldn't continue.

Because when everyone found out that Mike was here, everyone except the black guy who left Slytherin gathered around Mike and started talking and laughing with Mike.

This made Professor Slughorn a little bit incredulous, because from the information he had learned, Mike was just a Muggle-born wizard.

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

Mike’s tri-final cup championship was won with Harry. Slughorn strongly suspected that he was ignoring Harry’s light. As for the Merlin medal, he was awarded for protecting a car from dementors. of.

Slughorn felt ridiculous about this, and even began to feel that the Ministry of Magic's standard for awarding the Merlin Medal was too low to have a bottom line.

You must know that the Dementors were still slaves to the Ministry of Magic at the time, and even if they used their 10,000 courage, they did not dare to attack the students on the Hogwarts Express.

In summary, Mike is a lucky kid with some strength and talent in the eyes of Slaterhorn, so he didn't pay too much attention to Mike.

It's just that now Professor Slughorn suddenly felt that his judgment on Mike was a bit too sloppy.

Seeing how respectful those who had been invited over treated Mike, Slughorn could hardly imagine that this would be a treat that a mediocre person could get.

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

At this moment, the carriage door was opened again.

Ginny cringed and walked in.

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

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

Suddenly, the brows of many people in the car wrinkled. No matter from which point of view, the Weasley family members are not qualified to stay here with them. They really don’t understand why Professor Slughorn would put this. The little girl came in.

Everyone's malicious gaze made Ginny very uneasy. She looked aggrieved and shrank and kept squeezing towards the corner, as if she wanted to squeeze herself into the wall to hide.

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

"Hey, Ginny, we meet again."

Ginny was initially startled by the person sitting next to her suddenly, but after hearing a familiar voice, the smile on her face bloomed again.

"Mike! You are here too, which is great!"

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

"The people here are so strange, they are all looking at me. Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, you are fine, they are the ones with problems."

Mike replied firmly.

Mike's answer gave Ginny courage, but she nodded heavily after hearing the words.

The expressions on everyone's faces when they saw that Mike had left them sitting next to Ginny were a little confused.

They couldn't figure out why someone like Mike would have a relationship with the Weasley's youngest daughter.

And Mike didn't deliberately lower his voice when talking to Ginny, so many people heard Mike say they had a problem.

Now many people's faces appeared ashamed and embarrassed.

But this also explains the reason why Mike would accompany Ginny, that is, to see a little girl alone in such an embarrassing environment.

Everyone who had figured it out became more admired when they looked at Mike, especially Emma, ​​whose red eyes were about to come out.

Such a powerful person as Mike still has a heart of gold!

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

On the other hand, perhaps because of the tension, Ginny continued to tell Mike over there:

"...It's really amazing to say that I was practicing the bat magic spell in the carriage, and Professor Sgramhorn suddenly broke in. He said that my bat magic spell is very good, so he invited me to lunch. Yes. Now, do you know the bat curse? It is a curse from our ancestors, it can..."

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

He still hated Ginny when he read the original in his previous life, after all, the actress who played her is not pretty.

But now Mike has changed his mind. The girl Ginny is so cute that people can't help but want to take care of her.

A little bit of time passed, and the guest that Sgramhorn cared about the most today finally arrived.

"Harry! You are finally here! Oh! Think you are Mr. Longbottom, right?"

Skraghorn greeted Harry and Neville enthusiastically. On the other hand, Harry and Neville's expressions were very embarrassing, and they were led by Skraghorn like a robot.

After Harry arrived on the scene, the atmosphere in the car, which was still harmonious and lively, became deserted. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Harry with indifference.

Sgrahorn obviously hadn't realized the situation in the car, he took Harry to introduce him to the people in the car and their family background one by one.

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

"Surely I don't need to introduce more to this person? This is a heavyweight celebrity. We have known each other during the summer vacation. The famous'Savior Star'! Harry Potter!"

When Professor Slughorn finished speaking, he took the lead and applauded. When he wanted to invite such a famous person, everyone should applaud and welcome him like himself.

However, the reality is that no matter how Slughorn encourages him, no one except Ginny and Neville welcomed Mike.

Everyone was so quiet, looking mockingly at Professor Slughorn and Harry.

There were even a few people who gave out a weird smile with a strong sarcasm, which made Harry flush.

At this time, the scene in the c carriage becomes a bit similar to the previous class coach.

The people at the scene were roughly divided into three groups. Most of them gathered around Mike and looked at Harry hostilely, while Ginny, Neville and others gathered around Harry. As for the Slytherins, It was hiding in the corner and watching coldly.

At this time Slughorn also noticed the anomaly, his eyes rolled around and he immediately understood.

His previous estimation of Hogwarts was wrong.

Harry Potter's reputation at Hogwarts is obviously not as high as that of the kid named Mike! And 80% of the two people are still hostile!

Professor Slughorn retired for so long that he didn’t understand what was going on here, but it didn’t matter. His strategy was supposed to be good at each other. He didn’t care if Mike and Harry had a relationship. There is no contradiction!

Thinking like this, Slughorn coughed and then said:

"Well, it's really pleasant. Sit down, everyone, our lunch is about to begin."

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

"I'm sorry, gentlemen and ladies. The licorice wands of the food on the food delivery truck always taste too strong, and my poor old fellow can't digest these things." Slughorn He directed the magic wand to open the lunch box and said, "So I brought the food for this dinner. Of course, if any of you are willing to share the lunch you brought, you can also take it out. We will treat it like this time. A fun picnic, everyone shared the food they brought together."

The food that Professor Slughorn brought this time was very exquisite, but maybe he arranged the scale of these foods according to his own appetite, which is somewhat different for the half-children of Mike who are currently in development. Too much to see.

As soon as this remark came out, the big guys looked at each other, with a slightly wrong expression.

To be honest, the people who bring lunch on the train are either people whose families are so poor that they can't even afford a lunch on the train, or those whose families are so rich that they don't want lunch on the train.

Few of the people present here belong to these two categories, so everyone is a little dissatisfied.

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

But Ginny’s eyes brightened when she heard the words, but she quickly dimmed. Out of her past habits and love for her children, even though the family is no longer short of money, Mrs. Weasley still gave Ginny and Ron. Each brought some sandwiches.

But, are those shabby sandwiches really good?

Ginny was deeply entangled.

After struggling for a while, Ginny gritted her teeth and took out the big sandwich wrapped in greased paper from her bag and placed it on the table.

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

Ginny’s voice was so soft 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 think that 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 take out a shabby sandwich to Ginny. Expressing sarcasm, of course, they wouldn't touch the sandwich either, after all, it didn't look very tasty.

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

She instinctively wanted to take the sandwich back, but Neville, who was quick-eyed, snatched the sandwich, stuffed it in her mouth, while still muttering things like thank you.

Upon seeing this, many people including Slughorn showed contempt. In their opinion, the only heir to the Longbottom family was afraid that his brain was not very good.

Only Ginny, she was looking at Neville with surprise on her face and Mike saw everything in her eyes, he chuckled lightly, and then hit everyone's surprised eyes. Snapping his fingers, Shuke and Beta were invited to prepare some food.

Slughorn's eyes were almost straight. He never thought that a wizard from Muggle like Mike would have a house-elf, a cherished animal that almost only exists in the hands of ancient families!

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

"Yes."

"Really? This is really enviable. I have always wanted to have a house elf, but it's a pity that this thing is too precious." Slughorn said with a look of envy, "Can you tell Where do you come from?"

"Of course you can. Shuke and Beta were given to me by the predecessors of Raven Scratch." Mike said with a smile, "These two house elves have special meaning to me, so they can't be transferred to you. But. I have two other house elves in my hand. If you want, I can give you one. But they all have a history of betraying their masters. I don’t keep them by my side, but put them in the company. Do some rough work inside."
