Chapter 224 Death 3 Hallows and the Banquet Begins (7k! Happy New Year!!!)

Wo Bu Geng Xin
The purple solution was obviously extremely corrosive.The magic gold was corroded almost instantly.Even after corroding it, the purple solution still had enough power to leave a shallow pit on the table.
Taylor looked at the pit and was a little speechless for a while.
This thing can corrode even magic gold... Such a powerful corrosive agent, if there is a little more, Taylor feels that it will corrode the door of the treasure house of Gringotts.
"This is the result of my modification of Doris' venom. Doris's body is just that big, and these are the amount I have saved for almost half a year."
Doris's pure snake venom naturally does not have such terrible lethality. The basilisk's poison can destroy the soul inside, but it cannot destroy the ring itself.The ring itself was forged from the rarest of materials.And these precious materials are generally not just good-looking.
Luke looked at the corroded pothole in front of him, and shook his head silently.After the real contact, Luke understood that knowledge is power.
The most precious thing left by the Gaunt family is not the high position, nor the scattered subordinates.but the knowledge.Although without those forces it would be difficult to achieve great things.But without knowledge, the achievements of a wizard will not be too high.
Luke took out a pair of dragon leather gloves from his belt, and took out a black stone from the sunken hole with lightning speed.
Taylor on the side quickly used up the clear water like a spring.Clean up all the venom that was involved in the stone.
Luke promptly switched the stone in his hand to the other hand while the water was washing it.At the same time, he threw the dragonskin glove on the hand that was holding the stone to the ground.Tyler glanced at the glove.It was found that there was a big hole in the fingertip and palm.
She glanced at Luke's hand with some concern, and was relieved when she found that there were no scars on it.
Luke didn't pay attention to Taylor's movements, but concentrated on looking at the stone in front of him that was gradually returning to its ordinary appearance in the current.
Stretch out your hand, pinch the stone, and place it in front of your eyes.
Black rhombus stone, the surface looks full of luster.Besides that, there are no other features.
When Taylor, who restrained the clear water like a spring, looked at Luke's hand.Countless legends about the resurrection stone emerged in my mind.
But in fact, except for the story of Cadmus, the second eldest among the three Peverell brothers, other stories have been falsified one after another by relevant researchers.
Few people who study the Deathly Hallows are willing to admit that the Three Hallows have been controlled by people other than the three brothers.
But experts are experts after all.
They don't know that the Elder Wand has changed hands several times and is now in Dumbledore's hands.I don't know that the Invisibility Cloak has been passed down from generation to generation by the Potter family, and it is still in the hands of Harry Potter.Not to mention that the Resurrection Stone was collected by the Gunter family and eventually returned to Luke.
They have been looking for the three holy artifacts all their lives, and it can be said that they are gathered at Hogwarts at this time.And as long as Luke wants, there is a way to gather these three holy artifacts.Became the first person in history to gather all the Three Hallows of Death.
"Is this really the work of God of Death?"
Taylor looked in disbelief.Compared with Muggles who still believe in religion and gods, wizards are atheists in the true sense.In Taylor's understanding, she would rather regard the so-called God of Death in this story as a powerful wizard.
The story of a powerful wizard who sees three brothers in trouble and makes a pact with them makes a lot more sense.
"What Dumbledore guessed was that the Three Hallows themselves were the works of the three brothers, and the God of Death didn't exist at all."
Luke held the Resurrection Stone in his hand and watched it repeatedly, as if he was going to see some flowers.When Taylor heard this guess, he also nodded.
It is true that the three brothers themselves may be powerful wizards. Anyway, as long as there is no death, wizards always think that such a story makes sense.
"I'd love to take the Elder Wand apart and see what's inside the wand."
Luke shook his head, and put the resurrection stone on the ring on his hand.As soon as the resurrection stone touched the precept body, the snake heads of the two snakes separated a little.Then after Luke put the resurrection stone in place, the heads of the two snakes firmly fixed the resurrection stone.
"According to the records of the family, it is natural that a person cannot be resurrected in the true sense. Instead, the soul of the deceased can be summoned to complete the dialogue with the soul."
Tyler felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Although it is not resurrection in the true sense, being able to talk to the soul of the dead can be said to be miraculous in some cases.
After all, in the eyes of many people, they will always have some people who meet, but never see again.
such as……
Tyler reached out and grabbed Luke's cuff.Luke felt Taylor's pull, so he looked at Taylor quietly.
But Taylor didn't speak for a long time.There was a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he was struggling with something.Luke didn't urge, just waited quietly.
After a long, long time, so long that Luke felt his legs were a little numb, Taylor finally raised his head.Her expression is quite complicated, it can even be said to be complicated to a certain extent.
"Luke, is this the curse of the resurrection stone?"
Taylor looked into Luke's eyes, looking at the pair of quiet and deep eyes with a hint of sadness hidden in the depths.
"It makes people look forward to death more, makes people willing to die, makes people full of courage to die..."
After death it is no longer all rest.Instead, you can go to the same world with the person you miss the most and live a beautiful life.That will be eternal companionship.
You miss him so much that you are even willing to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone for him.So after meeting, do you want to be with him?
The resurrection stone will not bring the dead back to life, but will make the living die.
Luke gently touched Taylor's head with the other hand, and said with a smile: "I knew it, you must be able to understand this."
"If you want, I can lend you the Resurrection. It is the embodiment of the emotions of the world. You can almost get back all the family, love, and friendship you have lost. But...you know, sometimes , that ray of light is not necessarily a gift to those who are destined to live in darkness."
Would Luke want to use the Philosopher's Stone to meet his parents?Of course I did.After Ruby broke his memory blockade, Luke's past and present are no longer separate from each other.Of course he wanted to meet his parents.He wanted to meet those two guys who never came back after they walked out of the house, he wanted to hear their explanations, he wanted to hear their apologies to him, he wanted to hear...their voices.
But not now.
He is confident that he will not indulge in such beauty.But such beauty may not necessarily become his motivation.
Now he is not like the Harry who faced Voldemort in the original book.Harry was ready to die then.Dumbledore gave him the resurrection stone, on the one hand to give him some confidence in the power of the Deathly Hallows, and on the other hand, because he knew the effect of the resurrection stone.After Harry saw those relatives and friends who had passed away.This boy with a spirit of sacrifice and a great desire for family affection would be willing to die.
But what he didn't expect was that Harry didn't need the courage given to him by the Resurrection Stone in the end.He misses those relatives, but following them is not the reason for him to die peacefully.
He has a nobler reason, for protection, for justice.
For Luke would love to be friends with Harry.Whatever flaws Harry may seem to have now, this is a righteous man.A person worthy of deep friendship.
Luke never fails to see the good in others.He knows very well that the best thing about Harry is that you can safely hand over your descendants to him.
Of course, in addition to these, Luke and Harry's communication naturally had some off-court factors.For example, curiosity about whether he can change Harry's fate.And after Harry realizes who he is, will he fight with himself, or stand with him.
As for Taylor's entanglement, he can fully understand it.He could even think that if not only Taylor was here, but also Taylor's grandma, would grandma give up the chance to use the resurrection stone?Luke felt that there was a high probability that he would not give up.
And Tyler was able to see clearly and give up, which was enough to make Luke feel relieved.
Luke hugged Taylor, who looked sad, into his arms. It was not the first time he felt Taylor's fragility. The incident that caused Taylor to lose his temper with him because of concealment made Luke feel Taylor's grief and anger.
And now, Taylor's emotions are clearly on the verge of collapse.
Why did she give up the chance to meet her parents again?
Luke knows, he knows.
Tyler buried his head in Luke's arms.Compared to Luke, whose development was promoted by Snape's potion, Taylor was already thin and small at this time.
And Taylor also knew that Luke's heart could not be without fluctuations.Although it is not known why Luke's parents left.But the pathos is always the same.
In a dark hut.The two children embraced each other, as if holding the only ray of light in their own world.
………………
At night, Luke tidied up his clothes, and Taylor beside him looked at his outfit, quite satisfied: "This outfit is really nice."
Luke looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.But just like before, he was not really interested in such a banquet.
"Honestly, there's an attack after every banquet. I'm almost in the dark."
Luke laughed and joked about his experience throughout the summer vacation.Unfortunately, he was going to his last banquet during the summer vacation today.
Taylor, on the other hand, looked at Luke with a little trouble.
"Are you sure you really want me to accompany you to the banquet? Isn't this a banquet for your nobles?"
When Luke heard this, he smiled and said, "Why, no confidence?"
Taylor nodded without hesitation: "I'm not a young lady, our family has a long heritage. But in fact, there is no title of nobility."
Of course, there is a more important point that Taylor didn't say.
Because their family does not use the surname as the basis for inheritance.It was as if her current last name was her father's last name.But in fact, her talents all come from her mother's blood.
This is a talent that is supposed to be inherited only in female offspring.
"It doesn't matter, don't think about how high-end this banquet is." Luke said frankly, "The British nobles are not finished. They can't even afford wizard servants."
To be honest, Luke's map gun is naturally scolded by himself.But he was right. Compared with the American aristocrats and even the French aristocrats who let a group of wizards serve as their servants, the British aristocrats are a bit inferior.
There is no way, those two shocks had a huge impact on the entire British wizarding world, and it is not uncommon for such a situation to occur now.But facts are facts.
"What's more, although only people from 28 families can participate in this banquet, in fact, people from 28 families will bring some families or individuals who are closely related to themselves to participate."
Luke waved the black-and-gilded invitation letter in his hand, and said frankly: "It also says that you can bring people to participate."
"Will someone trade this quota with those nobles who are not very rich? After all, some people still want to join such a small circle."
Taylor's head was spinning very quickly, and she almost immediately came up with channels that some of the 28 families could profit from.
Luke snapped his fingers, and then said to Taylor: "That's right. To be honest, I was also a high-end banquet at the beginning, where the nobles discussed the future of the entire wizarding world. But in fact this is just a simple one. meet and greet."
"The 28 families have never been monolithic. Even if someone can twist them into one, they have to endure their intrigue and mutual mischief."
Luke curled his arms.And Taylor stepped forward helplessly.Then he took Luke's arm.
"The dress you chose is really inconvenient." Taylor said with some helplessness, "Its eyes restrict my actions."
"I sincerely wish the two of us nothing that needs to be done tonight."
Luke sincerely said with emotion: "If there is still an accident in today's banquet, then I think it's best for me not to attend any banquet in the future."
Once or twice is the other party's problem.This was the third time, even counting the family dinner with Newt and the others, it could even be said to be the fourth time.If there is still a problem, then Luke has to reflect on whether he has a problem.
Taylor looked at Luke with a complicated expression and showed a cheerful smile.
Luke could only shake his head helplessly.
The two walked out of the hut, and a big Thestral carriage was parked at the door of the hut.
This is a relatively common means of transportation.
Both of them could see the emaciated but beautiful Thestrals.Of course, that's not the point, the point is the carriage pulled by the Thestrals.
"This is my family's carriage." Luke said with emotion, "it's the most convenient at home, everything is ready-made, and you even have to worry about travel tools when you arrive in the United States."
After hearing this, Taylor carefully looked at the quaint and beautifully decorated carriage in front of him, shook his head and said, "I think broomsticks are quite good as a means of transportation."
Luke nodded: "I don't deny it, but I still think that it is necessary to match the right things with the right things. To attend a banquet, especially this kind of banquet where a bunch of old antiques will be present, I think we should not do anything Trendy is better."
"At least not yet."
Of course it is okay to be trendy, but it is best to do it when what you are doing is trendy.
While talking, the two of them got into the carriage like this.
The reins of the carriage moved by themselves, urging the two Thestrals to take off.
………………
A manor somewhere in the west of England.
Draco Malfoy stood at the door in an exquisite formal suit to greet him.The etiquette and propriety in dealing with others cannot be faulted.The expression on the face is humble but not humble, proud but not arrogant.Speak to everyone in a gentle tone.
"Oh, little Malfoy, you did really well today."
Old Nott looked at the little guy in front of him, and praised him quite appreciatively.After all, in such a big scene, it would be nice not to have stage fright, and Draco was able to complete such a task without even needing his father by his side, which really opened Old Nott's eyes.
It seems that there are still good children in this next generation.
Oliver Nott beside him frowned at the smile on Malfoy's face.He always felt that Malfoy's performance today gave him a rather uncomfortable feeling.
But this displeasure was not aimed at Malfoy.This made him feel a little weird.
"Can you stop being like Luke, Draco!"
And the younger brother beside him, the second son of the Nott family, Theodore Nott looked at Draco's performance, frowned and said: "You look pretty good yourself, there is no need to learn from Luke!"
So the faces of old Knott and Oliver Knott changed.
Oliver turned his head directly and wanted to spit.But considering today's occasion, I held back.
Pooh!unlucky!
In fact, Draco was also a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face was almost broken.
"I didn't study hard, Theodore." Draco said with a sincere face, "I just think Luke's usual performance is in line with today's occasion. So I chose this performance."
Theodore reflected for a moment, then gave Draco a contemptuous look.
Are you still copying your homework?
Draco obviously saw what Theodore meant, so the smile on his face became more and more awkward.
Old Nott looked at the scene in front of him, but shook his head helplessly, and then smiled at Draco: "Behave well, everyone is looking forward to you as the host."
Draco nodded and said, "I won't lose the Malfoy family."
Old Nuo Te nodded, and walked into the manor in front of him with his two sons.Of course, following behind them was a man in a gorgeous robe with an overly serious face, so serious that one could easily see his nervousness.Malfoy didn't ask the person's name, but checked the guest list before letting him go.
Their carriage had been taken away by the elf and parked.
Watching the three of them leave, Draco saw that no one would come for a while, and the tense smile on his face collapsed.
"Merlin's beard. I just thought that such a thing would be fun. I never thought that it would be so tiring."
Draco shook his head wearily, he had come out to greet the guests just before the time when the guests arrived.But even so, he still stood here for about three hours.
Master Malfoy has never suffered so much!It stands to reason that at today's banquet, he should be the prettiest one, all he needs to do is wait quietly for the people around him to arrive.Bring your own group of cronies and friends to show dad his son's 'charisma of leadership'.
Luke had made an agreement with him, and gave him the stage today.Luke will never steal his limelight!
Just as he was thinking about Luke, he saw a carriage falling towards this side in the sky, and there was a snake logo on the side of the carriage.That was the carriage of the Gaunt family.
Malfoy is a child who knows things, he can tell at a glance that this carriage seems to be better than his own carriage...
Luke did have money.Malfoy was not surprised by this, after all, Luke's performance on weekdays was more generous than his father.He thought about it seriously, maybe his family really didn't have as much money as Luke's family.
Moreover, Luke's family's money is used by him as he pleases, and no one cares about it at all, which is really enviable!
Seeing the carriage hit the ground, Malfoy went over there.He and Luke are good friends, and Luke has taught him so many things, it is normal for him to be grateful to Luke!Go up to greet him, although it is a bit unruly, but how can any fool follow the rules!
The first lesson of the Malfoy family's life education: Follow and maintain the rules that are beneficial to you and make you feel comfortable.If there are rules that are not good for you or make you feel uncomfortable, then adjust them.
"Luke!"
Looking at Luke getting off the carriage, Malfoy greeted him warmly.Luke, who was not far away, nodded to himself, and he was suddenly a little dazed.
We haven't seen each other for about a month, what happened to you boy?Why does it look so tall now!
But what surprised him even more was still behind, Luke made a gesture of picking up people beside the carriage.A slender and white arm stretched out from the carriage and rested on Luke's hand.
This made Malfoy feel his body shaking with excitement.
Luke's actions during the summer vacation were not a secret among noble circles.After all, things are so big.In Paris, the burning of Paris almost happened again, and in the United States, more than a dozen nobles lost their lives.
It's strange that such a big matter can be concealed.
Therefore, along with these attacks, there are all kinds of gossip news.Lucius Malfoy felt perverted at first when he heard such news.
No, rumors about a 12-year-old kid, what the hell do you think!
But more and more details are coming out.What little French beauty bravely rescued Luke.The owner of the American beauty fell in love with Luke at first sight.It is said that it is a person with nose and eyes.
Lucius Malfoy and the nobles were a little suspicious.
There are also some nobles who are impatient.No, the little girls in our own country haven't done it yet!Can you girls from other countries be more reserved!
Even Draco knew that many girls of the same age or a little older who approached the manor just now did not simply come to enjoy the dinner tonight.
They were all hunters in their best hunting attire and their best wands.
Luke was the fattest boar in the woods.
But looking at it now, many people are probably going to be disappointed.
But Draco wasn't happy about their miscalculation.Although those are very beautiful girls, as brothers, they must be able to make Luke look for them first!
Better than actually letting Luke hang out with Miss Granger, the Lion Court girl he's been playing so well with.
Draco had a lot of things on his mind in a flash.Of course, the most people are still thinking about who this could be.
Miss from the Strange family?Still the legendary Ms. Skye.
Wow!If it's really Ms. Skye, that's a real thrill!
After all, she is a mature big sister!
But when the blond girl in the royal blue dress got out of the car and took Luke's hand, he realized that it wasn't any of them.
But this girl was no worse than the two Luke's rumored partners seen in the photo.
What's even more surprising is that compared to those two girls in their prime, the girl in front of her looks only about the same age as herself.Obviously not grown yet.
But that head of bright blond hair, and those eyes like the blue sea under the clear sky, are so attractive.
She was on Luke's arm like a little blue bird.
In the setting sun, when the two walked towards him, Draco even felt a little ashamed.
But for some reason, when he looked at that beautiful girl, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Long time no see, Draco!"
Luke first greeted Malfoy, who was still a little dazed.
Malfoy returned to his senses, smiled and said, "Long time no see, but it's not that long. But your stories are really continuous!"
Luke said helplessly: "Believe me, if I had a choice, I would rather spend a relaxing summer vacation than these stories."
Draco had a hard time understanding Luke's thoughts.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the girl, and asked in a curious but polite tone: "This is..."
The girl glanced at the polite and gentle Draco, and suddenly smiled.
Draco frowned, obviously a little confused.
But looking at Luke with a smile on his face, he didn't have an attack either.
Seeing Draco's displeasure, the girl restrained herself, but still smiled happily.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month, you don't know me, Draco!"
The voice also made Draco feel quite familiar.
He frantically searched in his mind.He thought that if he saw such a beautiful girl, he would never forget it.
Finally, when he looked at the long golden hair, he took a sharp breath.
"Taylor! Is that you?!"
Taylor looked at the pit and was a little speechless for a while.
This thing can corrode even magic gold... Such a powerful corrosive agent, if there is a little more, Taylor feels that it will corrode the door of the treasure house of Gringotts.
"This is the result of my modification of Doris' venom. Doris's body is just that big, and these are the amount I have saved for almost half a year."

Taylor's head was spinning very quickly, and she almost immediately came up with channels that some of the 28 families could profit from.
Luke snapped his fingers, and then said to Taylor: "That's right. To be honest, I was also a high-end banquet at the beginning, where the nobles discussed the future of the entire wizarding world. But in fact this is just a simple one. meet and greet."
"The 28 families have never been monolithic. Even if someone can twist them into one, they have to endure their intrigue and mutual mischief."
Luke curled his arms.And Taylor stepped forward helplessly.Then he took Luke's arm.
"The dress you chose is really inconvenient." Taylor said with some helplessness, "Its eyes restrict my actions."
"I sincerely wish the two of us nothing that needs to be done tonight."
Luke sincerely said with emotion: "If there is still an accident in today's banquet, then I think it's best for me not to attend any banquet in the future."
Once or twice is the other party's problem.This was the third time, even counting the family dinner with Newt and the others, it could even be said to be the fourth time.If there is still a problem, then Luke has to reflect on whether he has a problem.
Taylor looked at Luke with a complicated expression and showed a cheerful smile.
Luke could only shake his head helplessly.
The two walked out of the hut, and a big Thestral carriage was parked at the door of the hut.
This is a relatively common means of transportation.
Both of them could see the emaciated but beautiful Thestrals.Of course, that's not the point, the point is the carriage pulled by the Thestrals.
"This is my family's carriage." Luke said with emotion, "it's the most convenient at home, everything is ready-made, and you even have to worry about travel tools when you arrive in the United States."
After hearing this, Taylor carefully looked at the quaint and beautifully decorated carriage in front of him, shook his head and said, "I think broomsticks are quite good as a means of transportation."
Luke nodded: "I don't deny it, but I still think that it is necessary to match the right things with the right things. To attend a banquet, especially this kind of banquet where a bunch of old antiques will be present, I think we should not do anything Trendy is better."
"At least not yet."
Of course it is okay to be trendy, but it is best to do it when what you are doing is trendy.
While talking, the two of them got into the carriage like this.
The reins of the carriage moved by themselves, urging the two Thestrals to take off.
………………
A manor somewhere in the west of England.
Draco Malfoy stood at the door in an exquisite formal suit to greet him.The etiquette and propriety in dealing with others cannot be faulted.The expression on the face is humble but not humble, proud but not arrogant.Speak to everyone in a gentle tone.
"Oh, little Malfoy, you did really well today."
Old Nott looked at the little guy in front of him, and praised him quite appreciatively.After all, in such a big scene, it would be nice not to have stage fright, and Draco was able to complete such a task without even needing his father by his side, which really opened Old Nott's eyes.
It seems that there are still good children in this next generation.
Oliver Nott beside him frowned at the smile on Malfoy's face.He always felt that Malfoy's performance today gave him a rather uncomfortable feeling.
But this displeasure was not aimed at Malfoy.This made him feel a little weird.
"Can you stop being like Luke, Draco!"
And the younger brother beside him, the second son of the Nott family, Theodore Nott looked at Draco's performance, frowned and said: "You look pretty good yourself, there is no need to learn from Luke!"
So the faces of old Knott and Oliver Knott changed.
Oliver turned his head directly and wanted to spit.But considering today's occasion, I held back.
Pooh!unlucky!
In fact, Draco was also a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face was almost broken.
"I didn't study hard, Theodore." Draco said with a sincere face, "I just think Luke's usual performance is in line with today's occasion. So I chose this performance."
Theodore reflected for a moment, then gave Draco a contemptuous look.
Are you still copying your homework?
Draco obviously saw what Theodore meant, so the smile on his face became more and more awkward.
Old Nott looked at the scene in front of him, but shook his head helplessly, and then smiled at Draco: "Behave well, everyone is looking forward to you as the host."
Draco nodded and said, "I won't lose the Malfoy family."
Old Nuo Te nodded, and walked into the manor in front of him with his two sons.Of course, following behind them was a man in a gorgeous robe with an overly serious face, so serious that one could easily see his nervousness.Malfoy didn't ask the person's name, but checked the guest list before letting him go.
Their carriage had been taken away by the elf and parked.
Watching the three of them leave, Draco saw that no one would come for a while, and the tense smile on his face collapsed.
"Merlin's beard. I just thought that such a thing would be fun. I never thought that it would be so tiring."
Draco shook his head wearily, he had come out to greet the guests just before the time when the guests arrived.But even so, he still stood here for about three hours.
Master Malfoy has never suffered so much!It stands to reason that at today's banquet, he should be the prettiest one, all he needs to do is wait quietly for the people around him to arrive.Bring your own group of cronies and friends to show dad his son's 'charisma of leadership'.
Luke had made an agreement with him, and gave him the stage today.Luke will never steal his limelight!
Just as he was thinking about Luke, he saw a carriage falling towards this side in the sky, and there was a snake logo on the side of the carriage.That was the carriage of the Gaunt family.
Malfoy is a child who knows things, he can tell at a glance that this carriage seems to be better than his own carriage...
Luke did have money.Malfoy was not surprised by this, after all, Luke's performance on weekdays was more generous than his father.He thought about it seriously, maybe his family really didn't have as much money as Luke's family.
Moreover, Luke's family's money is used by him as he pleases, and no one cares about it at all, which is really enviable!
Seeing the carriage hit the ground, Malfoy went over there.He and Luke are good friends, and Luke has taught him so many things, it is normal for him to be grateful to Luke!Go up to greet him, although it is a bit unruly, but how can any fool follow the rules!
The first lesson of the Malfoy family's life education: Follow and maintain the rules that are beneficial to you and make you feel comfortable.If there are rules that are not good for you or make you feel uncomfortable, then adjust them.
"Luke!"
Looking at Luke getting off the carriage, Malfoy greeted him warmly.Luke, who was not far away, nodded to himself, and he was suddenly a little dazed.
We haven't seen each other for about a month, what happened to you boy?Why does it look so tall now!
But what surprised him even more was still behind, Luke made a gesture of picking up people beside the carriage.A slender and white arm stretched out from the carriage and rested on Luke's hand.
This made Malfoy feel his body shaking with excitement.
Luke's actions during the summer vacation were not a secret among noble circles.After all, things are so big.In Paris, the burning of Paris almost happened again, and in the United States, more than a dozen nobles lost their lives.
It's strange that such a big matter can be concealed.
Therefore, along with these attacks, there are all kinds of gossip news.Lucius Malfoy felt perverted at first when he heard such news.
No, rumors about a 12-year-old kid, what the hell do you think!
But more and more details are coming out.What little French beauty bravely rescued Luke.The owner of the American beauty fell in love with Luke at first sight.It is said that it is a person with nose and eyes.
Lucius Malfoy and the nobles were a little suspicious.
There are also some nobles who are impatient.No, the little girls in our own country haven't done it yet!Can you girls from other countries be more reserved!
Even Draco knew that many girls of the same age or a little older who approached the manor just now did not simply come to enjoy the dinner tonight.
They were all hunters in their best hunting attire and their best wands.
Luke was the fattest boar in the woods.
But looking at it now, many people are probably going to be disappointed.
But Draco wasn't happy about their miscalculation.Although those are very beautiful girls, as brothers, they must be able to make Luke look for them first!
Better than actually letting Luke hang out with Miss Granger, the Lion Court girl he's been playing so well with.
Draco had a lot of things on his mind in a flash.Of course, the most people are still thinking about who this could be.
Miss from the Strange family?Still the legendary Ms. Skye.
Wow!If it's really Ms. Skye, that's a real thrill!
After all, she is a mature big sister!
But when the blond girl in the royal blue dress got out of the car and took Luke's hand, he realized that it wasn't any of them.
But this girl was no worse than the two Luke's rumored partners seen in the photo.
What's even more surprising is that compared to those two girls in their prime, the girl in front of her looks only about the same age as herself.Obviously not grown yet.
But that head of bright blond hair, and those eyes like the blue sea under the clear sky, are so attractive.
She was on Luke's arm like a little blue bird.
In the setting sun, when the two walked towards him, Draco even felt a little ashamed.
But for some reason, when he looked at that beautiful girl, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Long time no see, Draco!"
Luke first greeted Malfoy, who was still a little dazed.
Malfoy returned to his senses, smiled and said, "Long time no see, but it's not that long. But your stories are really continuous!"
Luke said helplessly: "Believe me, if I had a choice, I would rather spend a relaxing summer vacation than these stories."
Draco had a hard time understanding Luke's thoughts.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the girl, and asked in a curious but polite tone: "This is..."
The girl glanced at the polite and gentle Draco, and suddenly smiled.
Draco frowned, obviously a little confused.
But looking at Luke with a smile on his face, he didn't have an attack either.
Seeing Draco's displeasure, the girl restrained herself, but still smiled happily.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month, you don't know me, Draco!"
The voice also made Draco feel quite familiar.
He frantically searched in his mind.He thought that if he saw such a beautiful girl, he would never forget it.
Finally, when he looked at the long golden hair, he took a sharp breath.
"Taylor! Is that you?!"
