Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 142 Heading to the Manor
In the hall of Hogwarts Great Hall, Mike was walking out of the castle accompanied by Professor Flitwick.

Mike was obviously dressed up today, wearing a well-fitting black suit, looking extremely capable.

This suit was specially made for Mike to attend the dinner held at Foley Manor tonight.

Originally, Mike was planning to buy a dress in Diagon Alley, but when he actually arrived at the shop that specialized in selling dresses in Diagon Alley, he was stunned.

All the samples in the store are almost all British ancient dresses. The women's dresses are quite beautiful, but the men's dresses are really unbearable to look at. You know, many men's dresses in British ancient dresses are worn with stockings or high heels.

In desperation, Mike had to go to a tailor-made suit shop in London and asked the tailor there to tailor a black suit for him.

Making a tailor-made suit is a very time-consuming task. Even in Mike's previous life, when modern technology was extremely advanced, it would take nearly two months to make one.

But Michael doesn't have that much time to wait, because the dinner will be held next week.

Finally, after Mike paid the custom suit shop a large sum of overtime pay, the manager finally agreed with a smile on his face. However, he also asked Mike to come to the store once a day to try on the suits during this week, otherwise the suits might not fit.

Finally, after going through so much hardship, Mike finally put on the suit, and the effect of the suit was very good. As soon as Mike appeared in the auditorium wearing the suit, he attracted the attention of his classmates. If Professor Flitwick was still beside him, they would have surrounded him long ago.

"Are you really not going, Professor Flitwick?" Mike asked, straightening his cuffs.

"I'd better forget it. You are enough as my representative." Professor Flitwick patted Mike on the back and brushed off the dust that didn't exist in the first place. "Besides, I prefer the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts to that kind of aristocratic dinner. Well, let's go. Abbott must be waiting anxiously."

After hearing this, Mike stopped persuading her. He bent down, gave Professor Flitwick a hug, and then walked out of Hogwarts Castle.

In an open space in front of the castle, an extended black Lincoln was parked quietly. A group of little wizards who had chosen to stay in school like Mike had already gathered around it. It was the first time they had seen such a luxury car, and they couldn't help but feel curious.

The driver who was waiting by the car spotted Mike and hurried forward to open the door for him. After Mike nodded to him and got into the car, the driver rubbed his hands and came to the driving seat.

As soon as Mike entered the car, he found Abbott, wearing a black suit, sitting upright on the leather chair in the car.

"Oh, you look so handsome." Abbott greeted, "Are you ready? If you are, we will set off."

Mike nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to the dinner? Is there something going on?"

"You worry too much. I just suddenly wanted to meet you." Abbott showed a strange smile on his face, "But this dinner tonight is indeed a little special."

"What special method?"

Abbott looked over at Mike with a strange expression on his face and whispered, "Let me tell you, including the dinner party held by our family, the dinner parties held by the big families during this period are essentially large-scale blind date activities, and their purpose is to find suitable spouses for the heirs of the big families. As you know, the entire British wizard aristocracy circle is now almost all relatives. If everyone continues to intermarry like this, sooner or later the children born will be deformed."

"So you need some fresh blood." Mike's face darkened. "And I am that fresh blood, or one of the fresh bloods."

Mike's tone was a little unfriendly. He originally thought that Abbott asked him to attend the dinner because he had something to discuss with him in person, but he didn't expect that he wanted to pull him over to be a stud.

"No, no, no! You misunderstood! You are definitely not the so-called fresh blood, but our VIP. The fresh blood this time is actually the daughters of some wizard families in France." Abbott on the opposite side saw that Mike had misunderstood and hurriedly explained. "If you think about it carefully, you will know that the heirs of various wizard families are mostly male. Why would they let you be the fresh blood? You can't help them have children."

After Abbott finished speaking, he saw that Mike's face was a little red, knowing that he had understood what he meant, and then he continued:

"I invited you here just to let you show your face in the British wizard aristocratic circle. There is no other intention. Don't let your imagination run wild.

Of course, if you see a girl you like at the party, you can go after her. Don't worry about her being discriminated against because of your ancestry, because you are a friend of our Fry family."

Mike felt warmed at the sight of Abbott's proud expression when he talked about the Foley family, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

"What are you talking about? We are friends for life." Abbott punched Mike on the chest and said with a smile, "Come on, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you about my experience in the Auror Corps. After what happened last time, I was promoted and now I am the captain of the Auror Corps..."

Seeing that the two were talking happily, the driver started the stretched Lincoln and drove out of Hogwarts.

The road leading to the outside world from Hogwarts is not easy to walk on, especially in this season, almost all the roads are covered with a thick layer of snow. The ground under the snow is also bumpy and slippery.

But this black extended version of Lincoln is obviously not an ordinary vehicle. Like the Knight Bus that Mike has ridden, it is a modified magical car.

But this car is much more advanced than that shabby Knight Bus. No matter how bumpy the road is when driving, people sitting in the car can't feel any vibration of the car body.

The stretched Lincoln turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the Hogwarts Castle. Just when Mike thought they would drive all the way to Foley Manor, the black Lincoln suddenly slowed down.

"Don't worry, the fun is yet to come." Abbott saw Mike's puzzled expression and explained, "This is the latest modified official vehicle of the Ministry of Magic. If it can only be driven like a Knight Bus, it would be too useless."

As soon as Abbott finished speaking, the driver sitting in the front seat pressed a button, and then the 6-meter-long black Lincoln turned into a distorted ball of light and shadow and disappeared in the wind and snow.

By the time Mike reacted, the black Lincoln had already stopped in a manor.
