Chapter 451 Conflict

Professor Slughorn's eyes widened wider and wider, and his exaggeratedly bright blue eyes and his snow-white beard that trembled due to shock made him look even more funny.

"Merlin, are you still a member of Raven's Claw? As far as I know, it is a semi-closed private social organization. Except for a very few outstanding people, it does not accept others to join."

"Yes, Raven's Claw Mark is indeed quite closed, and I was forced to join through Professor Flitwick's recommendation. By the way, you should know Professor Flitwick, right?"

"You mean Filius? Of course, he was already the Charms Professor at Hogwarts before I retired..." When he said this, Slughorn paused and observed. After looking at Mike's expression, he continued, "I have to say that he is the most outstanding Charms professor I have ever seen. His big head is full of countless knowledge and love for his students!"

"Really? I think so too! Professor Flitwick's status in my heart is no less than that of Principal Dumbledore, or even worse. They are both great wizards!"

Mike smiled happily. Although he didn't know whether Slughorn was telling the truth, it didn't matter. As long as someone said good things about Professor Flitwick, he would be very happy.

Professor Slughorn obviously noticed this, and complimented Professor Flitwick vigorously, which made Mike laugh out loud. The students around him finally started to communicate when they saw the two chatting happily. , the atmosphere at the scene is gradually becoming heated.

"Mike, come and try my craft. For the roasted quail, I did not use any magic power and relied entirely on handwork. I believe that only in this way can we make the most precious dishes. As for the food that relies on magic, I think that It’s like a product made on an assembly line, dry and tasteless.”

As Slughorn spoke, he pushed a lunch box in front of Mike. Inside, lying quietly was a steaming crispy grilled quail, surrounded by many green leafy vegetables, and there was even a piece of meat in the bird's mouth. Stuffed with a red cherry.

Mike looked at it for a moment before finally holding out his knife and fork.

I cut a piece of crispy skin from the quail with some fat and lean meat and put it in my mouth.

"Well, your craftsmanship is quite good."

After saying that, Mike put down his knife and fork without any intention of trying again.

This behavior was actually a bit rude, but instead of being angry, Professor Slughorn nodded with satisfaction.

He knew very well that his cooking skills were not unpalatable, but there was a big gap between him and the top chefs. If Mike was really a noble person who never tired of eating, then he would rashly eat inferior food. The act of handing it to the other person is considered rude.

Thinking of this, the smile on Slughorn's face became even brighter. He even began to wonder if Mike was from a noble family in the Muggle society. Otherwise, why would he be able to tell the difference at a glance? The best part of quail is the crispy skin?

Just when Slughorn was thinking wildly, Shuke finally came back.

I saw him salute to Mike, and then directed the dinner plates he brought to fly to the dining table, which contained a large amount of delicacies, most of which were meat. Just looking at the amount, some people would even think of it. I wonder if Shuke directly roasted a cow!

Seeing this, the boys around him cheered. For teenagers of this age, meat is their favorite.

Fortunately, they all still maintained the most basic upbringing, and they all thanked Mike before starting to wolf down the food.

"You're welcome, don't be polite to me, just eat."

Mike said with a smile, and he casually took a piece of steak and ate it.

Seeing this, Slughorn had a look of confusion on his face, because although these tableware looked expensive, the roasted meat inside was just ordinary Muggle and beef, which was not really precious.

This is obviously inconsistent with the identity Mike showed before.

"Professor Slughorn, you should try it too. Shuke's barbecue is really good. I have fallen madly in love with this taste recently."

"Okay, okay..." Slughorn heard this and cut the steak, "By the way, Mike, you just said you still have a company, right?"

After swallowing the steak completely in his mouth, Mike said:

"Yes, to be precise, it should be a group. Maybe you have heard of it, and its name is Los Santos."

"Los Santos Group?" Slughorn looked horrified, "You mean the Los Santos Group?"

"Yes, I created that."

Hearing this, Slughorn swallowed hard.

After so many years of development, the Los Santos Group's tentacles have extended to almost all walks of life in the wizarding world of the country. Its reputation is so big that even Slughorn, who was almost reclusive before, Old people have heard of it.

But what really made Slughorn remember this name was because the Los Santos Group recently started selling a special potion auxiliary liquid called Los Santos Magic Liquid.

Although the name has changed, Slughorn relied on his own experience to easily recognize its true identity - Avery's Liquid!

This was supposed to be a monopoly product exclusively operated by the Avery family, but now it appears in the Los Santos Group's product display window.

Considering that all the stores of the Avery family have been closed recently, and even the people in the family settlement have disappeared, Slughorn suddenly had a big guess.

"Um, Mike, as far as I know your Los Santos Group is selling a product called Los Santos Demonic Liquid recently, right?"

"That's right, Professor. That's a potion auxiliary solution. I can give you some if you need it."

"That's not what I meant. What I want to ask is, this Los Santos demon liquid seems to be related to Avery..."

Professor Slughorn's words came to an abrupt end because he was horrified to find that the expression of the young man opposite him who was originally cheerful turned into extremely terrifying after hearing the name of the Avery family. Her eyes stared straight at him, forcing him to stop talking.

"Avery family, hehehehe." Mike approached Professor Slughorn with a smile and said softly, "I advise you not to ask for news about the Avery family anymore. After all, that is in the past tense. They Never again, Professor."

"I...I understand."

Professor Slughorn's hand holding the fork trembled slightly, but his face looked completely normal.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward. Mike lost interest in continuing to talk to Slughorn and ate his steak quickly and elegantly alone.

Slughorn sat there with an awkward look on his face. He seemed to want to find someone else to continue chatting, but he was afraid that Mike would feel rude, so he was a little at a loss.

At this moment, a burst of noise broke out from the crowd nearby. Mike and Slughorn both looked up and saw Harry, Neville and Ginny being surrounded by others. .

"Savior star, haha? Do you think this name sounds nice? Harry the thief?"

Someone in the crowd said this, and everyone burst into laughter.

Faced with this ridicule, Harry's face was so red that it almost caught up with Ginny's hair. He gasped and roared:

"It's not my fault! It's the people from the Daily Prophet..."

"Aha! It's the same rhetoric again, Harry Potter! Every time you encounter something, the first thing you think of is to absolve yourself of responsibility. Can't you stand upright and upright for once? Savior?"

The noise around them became louder, and everyone shouted the four words "Savior Star" over and over again, with extremely exaggerated expressions and tones that were annoying.

Harry lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

This made the surrounding crowd even more excited. A senior Ravenclaw jumped out, grabbed Mike's collar and said:

"Aha! The Savior is angry! Let's see, what are you capable of?"

Hearing this, the people around him also echoed, but Harry did not make any move. He knew very well that he would not get any good results if he started here.

But just because he doesn't take action doesn't mean others won't help him.

Amidst the laughter, a large group of bats suddenly appeared and pounced on the people surrounding Harry.

Each of these bats has a wingspan of more than one meter. The appearance of such a large group of bats suddenly caused chaos on the scene. Everyone was waving their arms and wands frantically to drive away these bats, but those bats were Not afraid at all, he marched forward bravely and killed the wizards.

Mike stared at this scene dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

He just saw with his own eyes Ginny raised her wand and summoned these fierce bats. This behavior really failed to make Mike associate her with the kind and lovely little girl before.

"How's it going, Mike? Is this little girl pretty good? I'm very accurate in judging people. She is definitely a talented person and will definitely achieve something in the future." Professor Slughorn said with a smile. , "But now is not the time to talk about this, I have to stop this farce."

After saying this, Professor Slughorn stood up, shouted a few words of dissuasion, and then waved his wand when he saw that it had no effect.

"Separate left and right!"

Along with Slughorn's chant, almost transparent gray light enveloped everyone.

But what happened next was extremely embarrassing.

I saw those light gray lights just falling. Emma and others, who were originally in a mess, suddenly gathered together after a while of adjustment. Then a layer of protective shields flourished, covering the surroundings. The bat and even Slughorn's left and right separation spells all bounced away!

Mike raised his eyebrows. He was familiar with this tactical formation. It was a simplified version of the combat formation he gave to the DA Army and the Mutual Aid Association. This formation became popular in Hogwarts after the night attack on the Ministry of Magic. Come on, I didn’t expect these people in front of me to be able to use it so well.

However, this is not over yet. After deploying all the protection to disperse the bats, Emma and others glared at Harry, Ginny and others. It is assumed that their original purpose was to encourage Harry to attack them, and then they and others would do it again. They wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but they really didn't expect Harry's attack to be so fast, which made them make a big fool of themselves!

In anger, everyone ignored Slughorn's previous obstruction. They all raised their wands and began to cast various curses on Harry!

Harry and Professor Slughorn on the other side could hardly believe their eyes. Emma and her group really dared to attack in front of a professor?

‘Expelliarmus Curse’, ‘Incisor Matching Stick’, ‘Slug Curse’…

All kinds of mischief spells turned into streams of light and shot straight towards Harry. Ginny's little face had turned pale at this time. At this moment, she finally understood that she had caused trouble.

She looked at Harry guiltily and worriedly, but instead of blaming her, the latter blocked her behind him!

"Neville, prepare to guard safely!"

Harry roared and raised his wand, and Neville, who was still in a daze, hurriedly took out his wand after hearing this!

Under the efforts of the two of them, a thin layer of mist appeared around them. The two of them still had too little magic power and could only build this low-level security guard.

But this was enough. Emma did not use too powerful evil spells. Those mischievous spells hit the mist straight and then bounced away.

For a moment, the carriage was filled with evil curses running around, and an Expelliarmus even hit Slughorn straight, knocking the wand out of his hand!

"Damn it, stop it!" Professor Slughorn roared, "You really have the worst class of students I've ever brought up. I'm going to put you all in solitary confinement!"

However, facing Slughorn's roar, Emma and others showed sarcastic smiles on their faces.

"Please contact our dean, Professor Slughorn, but I guess they won't punish us!" Emma shouted excitedly, "You know, Harry Potter attacked us first. , we are just counterattacking in self-defense!"

As soon as this statement came out, the wizards around Emma burst out laughing!

Slughorn was so angry that his whole body was trembling, but he did not continue the unnecessary abuse. Instead, he was hurriedly looking for his wand. As long as he had the wand in his hand, he would definitely be able to subdue these little bastards. So convinced.

But Harry and Neville were not feeling very well at the moment. The attacks from Emma and others were still continuing, and the power of the curse was getting stronger and stronger. It was obvious that the other party was impatient. If it continued like this, then they would It’s only a matter of time until someone loses!

For a moment, Harry and Neville were both a little desperate, while Ginny behind them looked at Mike who was not far away with pleading eyes.

She knows very well that if anyone can stop this now, then that person must be Mike!
