Chapter 485 Taming Birds

Slughorn once again looked across the crowd towards the entrance of the auditorium, and this time, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

It's Mike!

Slughorn's spirit shook violently. He casually put the goblet in his hand into the arms of a boy next to him, and then greeted Mike with a smile on his face.

Everything he did today was to have a good exchange of feelings with Mike. After all, what Mike showed was so amazing, which caused Slughorn to directly put Mike in a very high position.

Slughorn opened his hands as he walked, as if he wanted to hug Mike, and at the same time muttered something like "You are finally here."

But as soon as he approached Mike, Slughorn's body froze, and the warm smile on his face stiffened.

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn."

Mike nodded and greeted the other party very politely.

But there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on Slughorn's forehead, and the corners of his mouth were twitching, as if his muscles were stiff from smiling for too long.

After a while, Slughorn stuttered and said:

"Good evening, Mike."

Mike chuckled lightly and walked past Slughorn toward the center of the auditorium. At this time, Slughorn let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.

Although there was a smile on Mike's face just now, there was no smile in his blue eyes, instead they were cold and devoid of any kindness.

Being stared at by those eyes is an indescribable feeling, it's like... like you will be eaten by the other person in the next moment!

Slughorn shuddered, he just recalled those blue eyes.

Turning to look at Mike's back, Slughorn secretly made up his mind that he would never get too close to Mike in the future, as long as he maintained the current relationship.

Mike is definitely not a kind person. It is best not to get too close to such a person.

Caution, this is Slughorn's secret to survival!

And while Slughorn was thinking about it, Mike had already arrived at the center of the auditorium.

Without him having to say anything, everyone in the entire auditorium fell silent and stared at the blond boy in the center of the auditorium with piercing eyes.

"Everyone, you have worked hard."

Mike's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

A deafening burst of applause erupted in the auditorium. Looking at this formation, it was as if Mike had just given a touching speech.

Mike raised the corner of his mouth and raised his right hand, and then the whole auditorium became quiet again.

He looked around, looking at the expectant faces around him, and continued:

"This time, everyone who participated in the operation will receive a bonus of 10 Galleons. You can go to Franklin to claim it tomorrow. Then I will take my leave and wish you a pleasant night."

After that, Mike walked out of the auditorium without looking back, and behind him, there was another wave of cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Mike is definitely a good boss. This is the consensus of almost everyone present. He does not discuss any ideals at all, but just hands money to them when they meet. You must know that ten galleons is their entire week's salary. Such a boss is not a good boss.

, then what is it?

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the banquet in the auditorium became even more heated. If this trend continued, they might have to stay up all night.

Mike left the auditorium and walked into the darkness again.

At this time, the smile was no longer on his face, but there was only an endless chill.

The behavior of the man behind Clark really angered him, but it also made Mike confirm one thing, that is, in addition to him and Voldemort, there is indeed a third party on the field ready to move.

This forced Mike to rethink his next plan. After all, the third party force was obviously hiding in the dark waiting for those who wanted to be fishermen.

"Mike!"

Hermione's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from behind. Mike paused, then put a fake smile on his face again and turned around and asked:

"Hermione, is that you?"

"Of course it's me!" Hermione panted and came to Mike, "Whoosh! You ran so fast, I almost didn't catch up!"

"Sorry, what do you want from me?"

As Mike said this, he looked towards the light again, where Harry and Ron were running towards this direction.

"How is the assassin named Clark doing now?" Hermione said cautiously, "In other words, what are you going to do with him?"

"What are you..."

Before Mike could finish, Hermione continued:

"I think you should not lynching him, but hand him over to the Ministry of Magic and let the law punish him. This is the most correct choice!"

In the darkness, the smile on Mike's face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips and continued to say in that gentle tone:

"He almost killed me."

"I know, I'm very sad about this, and I'm also very angry!" Hermione said excitedly, "But..."

"Nothing to worry about!"

Ron's voice suddenly came from behind Hermione. One of him and Harry grabbed Hermione's arm, and the other covered Hermione's mouth.

"Don't worry, Mike." Ron continued, "Hermione wants to work in the Ministry of Magic to work in law after graduation, so she has read a lot of books on this subject recently, and people who read them are a little stupid."

Mike nodded at Ron. He now had a somewhat different view of Ron. The other person's emotional intelligence might not be as low as it seemed.

Ron also had a smile on his face, but the smile on his face didn't last long before it became distorted, and finally opened his mouth wide and started screaming.

"ah!"

Ron suddenly pulled away the hand covering Hermione, and there were still two rows of deep tooth marks on it.

"Mike, listen to my advice and hand Clark over to the law for trial, otherwise you will be in trouble... Wuwuwu!"

Before Hermione could finish her words, Harry on the side covered her mouth again.

"Hiss! Mike, you'd better go back first." Ron covered his hands and gasped, "Let's handle it here."

Mike nodded and disappeared into the darkness without saying a word.

He was in a bad mood now and didn't want to continue talking to Harry and the others.

As for Hermione, Mike said it was impossible not to be angry. Although what the other party did was not wrong, it was definitely inappropriate.

This is like picking up a priceless antique, and then someone persuades you to exchange it for a banner.

But it doesn't matter how angry she is. After all, they have been friends for such a long time. Moreover, Hermione has such a character, and she is still young, so it is understandable.

…

The next day, when the students who got up early came to the auditorium, what they saw was a messy venue and students all over the floor.

These people really had a party last night.

This made Professor McGonagall's nose crooked with anger. Not long ago, there was such a big chaos in Hogwarts, and now it has just started to look a little better, and someone is starting to do these things openly again?

This is simply a challenge to their authority!

Must be severely punished!

Otherwise, you won’t be able to convince the public!

As a result, the hourglass of the four major colleges, which had just had some gems, was once again emptied.

And all students who spent the night in the auditorium received a 7 to 15 day confinement.

On this day, the sky outside Hogwarts was overcast, as if it would rain heavily at any time, and the weather was just like the mood of these students at the moment.

But that's not the worst. What really makes these students miserable is that Mike, as the boss of the Los Santos Group, has also issued a series of training tasks for these new recruits. These tasks are so heavy that they can lose most of their lives.

part of extracurricular life.

Those who are in confinement are naturally unable to participate in training, and when dealing with absentees, Mike's approach is very simple.

If you don’t participate in training, you won’t get any money.

Mike is not a philanthropist. He naturally wants to see results when he spends money. Those people who want to just take money and not work? That is just daydreaming!

As for asking for leave? Workers’ rights?

It's useless for you to tell me these things. You must know that the wizarding society does not even have basic social security. Usually these labor disputes are mediated by the Ministry of Magic, but now the Ministry of Magic cannot protect itself. How can it have time to take care of it?

These trivial things.

In other words, Mike is actually quite conscientious, because in this period when the Ministry of Magic has basically lost its function, he can even make a lot of money by squeezing employees as hard as he can!

But he didn't do that, he just didn't pay wages.

Although the experiences of these people were a bit miserable, other people in Hogwarts were very happy.

Because Hogwarts has finally calmed down at this stage. Except that Hogsmeade is still not allowed to go, everything in Hogwarts has returned to what it was before - calm and peaceful.

Everyone goes to class with a sad face every morning, and then runs out of the classroom laughing in the afternoon. When it is time to review for exams, when it is time to play wizard chess, play wizard chess...

The tense hearts of Mike and others also temporarily relaxed. Mike was rare and did not issue any new tasks to others, but asked them to take a good rest for a while.
To be continued...
