Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 102 Rescue
"Gu..."

Mike's stomach protested audibly.

Mike stretched out his bloody hand and rubbed his stomach weakly, then he slowly came to his senses.

Although Mike was a ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye in his previous life, the scene that happened in front of him last night gave Mike a huge shock, which made Mike feel dazed now.

Mike gently pushed the wooden board in front of him and found that the wooden door in front of him, which he had been unable to open last night, was actually pushed open by him.

He struggled to get out, and only then did Mike realize that the place where he had stayed last night was actually a small secret room.

The lighting in this wooden house is very good, and the sunlight outside shines through the windows and doors, making the house bright. In the past, Mike might have basked in the sun and drank tea, but at this moment, Mike just stared stupidly at the broken body lying in the room.

Although the corpse's face had been damaged beyond recognition, Mike still felt a sense of familiarity from her.

This was so strange that Mike swore he had never seen this woman before.

The situation was the same last night. Logically speaking, I should not be the kind of good person who would rush to save strangers in distress. I had helped my fellow Muggle-blooded compatriots before only to improve the treatment of Muggle-blooded wizards and enhance my own prestige, but last night I had the urge to rush out to help.

If it were just that, it would be fine, after all, what those creatures that looked like Gringotts goblins did was really disgusting, but I lost control of my body at that time.

Mike pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. Finally, after his stomach protested again, he finally decided to fill his stomach first.

All the food in the cabin had been taken away by those goblins last night, so Mike did not continue searching in the cabin, but walked out of the room.

As soon as Mike walked out of the room, he was stunned by the scene outside.

There were corpses everywhere, corpses of adults, corpses of children, corpses of livestock, and corpses that were so burnt that you couldn't tell what they were...

This should be a village. The wooden house Mike was in before was already considered luxurious. The other houses in the village were built with mud and thatch.

However, at this time, the thatch on these houses had all turned to ashes, and the walls made of mud had been burned white and cracked. Many houses had even collapsed, leaving only thick wooden beams that were still burning.

The smell of blood, burnt smell, and all kinds of unpleasant smells all came, and a feeling of nausea rushed up Mike's throat in an instant. Mike resisted the urge to vomit, he knew that his stomach was empty now, and he would only vomit out gastric juice, and the acidic gastric juice would corrode his intestines and throat in the process of vomiting out.

When the urge to vomit gradually disappeared, Mike raised his head and continued to observe the surrounding environment while panting. What surprised him was that there was clearly a fire in the village, but the wooden house he was in before did not show any signs of being burned.

"Ah! Help!"

Just when Mike was puzzled, a woman's scream came from not far away.

Mike rushed towards the direction of the scream without saying a word. It was great to find out that there were still living people here. He could finally figure out where this place was.

This body's physical strength was even worse than Mike's previous 12-year-old body, and it was already out of breath after running just a few dozen meters. Fortunately, the place where the cry for help came from was not far away, and Mike saw the person who was asking for help after a quick run.

A girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with brown hair, was confronting a fairy.

The goblin seemed to be not yet an adult and was smaller than the goblins Mike had seen last night, but its eyes were exactly the same as those goblins, filled with a desire to eat people alive.

The girl was holding a magic wand in her hand and pointing it at the fairy tremblingly, muttering a spell that Mike had never heard of before, trying to cast magic, but perhaps because she was too nervous, she didn't cast a single spell.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice Mike approaching, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but then this glimmer turned into tension and panic.

"Run away, Rowena! I'll stop it!" the girl shouted at Mike. Her distraction gave the fairy a chance, and it pushed with its little hand. An invisible force suddenly hit the girl, and she flew backwards as if she was hit by a sledgehammer, and the magic wand in her hand also flew out of her hand.

The goblin didn't seem to have a high IQ. Even though the girl clearly hinted that Mike was behind it, it didn't even bother to look back. Instead, it pounced on the girl with a hideous grin and started tearing her clothes off.

At this time Mike arrived.

While running, Mike bent down to pick up the magic wand dropped by the girl on the ground, and then separated the girl and the fairy to the left and right.

As Mike's spell was fully released, the girl and the goblin were separated by a huge force. The goblin seemed to finally realize the danger, and screamed and fled in panic, holding a piece of the girl's body in his hand.

As he watched the Goblin Mike gradually go away, his eyes were cold. He had no good feelings towards these monsters at all.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Mike swung his wand and a green beam of light shot out, hitting the goblin accurately.

"Royna!"

Everything Mike did was seen by the girl not far away. Seeing the fairy being killed by Mike, the girl was extremely excited. She wanted to go forward and hug Mike, regardless of the fact that her tattered clothes could not cover her body at all.

"Back off!"

Mike turned around and pointed his wand at the girl, shouting at the same time.

The girl showed disbelief in her eyes when she saw this, but she still took a few steps back as Mike said.

At this time, Mike realized that the girl was actually a head taller than him. The girl was not pretty, but she gave people a sense of familiarity. The more Mike looked at her, the more familiar she looked. Mike thought he must have been sick recently, because everyone looked familiar to him.

"I ask, you answer. Do you understand?" Mike asked.

"understand!"

"What's your name?"

"Helga Hufflepuff."

Mike was shocked. The person in front of him turned out to be the founder of Hufflepuff. No wonder he looked so familiar. You know, the portraits of the founders of the four major colleges are all in the library. Mike has seen them countless times when he was looking up information.

Suddenly, Mike recalled what Helga had called him before, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then... who am I?"

Helga was obviously surprised by Mike's question. She said in a strange tone, "You are Rowena."

"full name!"

Mike waved his wand and cast a disarming spell which turned into a red light and hit the ground in front of Helga. The ground in the village was all ordinary mud, and after being hit by Mike's disarming spell, a pit with a diameter of ten centimeters was formed.

Mike's sudden attack startled Helga. She screamed and squatted on the ground crying. After crying for a while, she seemed to remember that she had not answered Mike's question yet. She sniffed her nose and said:

"Rowena-Ravenclaw."
