"...Steal the car, and if they fire you, I won't be surprised at all, see how I clean up you. You probably haven't thought about how your dad and I were feeling when we found out that the car was gone. …”
"Your father nearly died of shame when he received Dumbledore's letter last night. We worked so hard to bring you up, we didn't expect you to do something like this, you and Harry almost lost the baby Life……"
"...It's so annoying. Your father will be censored in the work unit. It's all your fault. If you don't behave according to the rules, we will bring you back immediately!"
The sound of the shouting letter shook the tableware and food all over the table.The look on Malfoy's face didn't stop.Neville silently blocked his ears.Some students laughed out loud.
Howler letter tore himself to shreds after greeting Ginny.
Ron blushed in shame at first.But gradually his face turned pale.Because he saw that several people were not smiling.
George and Fred just glanced at their younger brother indifferently.Then he ate his meal in silence.There wasn't even a smile on their face.Ginny shook her head disappointedly at Ron.
Originally, even if Ron caused trouble, it would be fine.But they also heard what mother said in the letter.Mr. Weasley is under review by the unit.
If someone works hard at this time, maybe he can replace Mr. Weiss.Of course, this is not the most deadly.The deadliest are naturally salary deductions and suspensions.
If Mr. Wesley's salary is suspended, then their family can only start to eat their fortunes.After all, Mrs. Wesley's salary alone cannot support the whole family.Fortunately, there are five children in Hogwarts now, so it doesn't cost much.
But the trouble it caused the family was real.
He glanced at Ron's pale face.Hermione shook her head slightly: "Did you expect anything else, Ron? Indeed... Obviously the two of you have been forgiven by the Ministry of Magic. Someone settled the punishment for you."
It may be that Mr. Weasley took all the blame on himself, or it may be that Dumbledore greeted him.In short, the two of them can escape the disposal of the Ministry of Magic.
As soon as these words came out, not only Ron, but even Harry began to feel ashamed.
At this moment, Fred came over and said to Luke: "Luke, I know this is against the rules, but..."
Before Fred finished speaking, Luke said, "I'll let Gemma settle your share in advance, and it will be in your hands in a few days."
Fred breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Sitting Luke smiled and patted Fred's arm lightly and said, "There's no need to be so polite between us."
Malfoy said nothing, just looked at Ron with a mocking look.
Ron felt that Malfoy might as well have sneered, and the two of them fought.Now that he was like this, if he moved his mouth, he would be actively provoking trouble.So he could only lower his head not to look into Malfoy's eyes.
Malfoy looked at Ron who looked like this and felt that he had opened the door to a new world.Sure enough, what Luke said was not wrong, sometimes taking the initiative to taunt would only get him into trouble.And silent ridicule can often make the opponent fall into a passive state.

It can only be said...it's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to slip away when you learn badly.
The small disturbance at lunch just passed away.
In the afternoon they face another challenge.
Defense Against the Dark Arts class...
"I don't know what wonderful talk Professor Lockhart will have!"
Hermione has a good habit of previewing her textbooks in advance.So she has already developed a good impression of the omnipotent handsome wizard in the book.And when she thought that such a wizard was going to teach herself a lesson now, she felt sincerely happy.
Luke looked at Taylor, who was calm and indifferent to the matter, and Hermione, who had clearly taken a liking to Lockhart, pursed his lips.
Seriously, Quirrell's class last year was also a disaster.But Tom can learn some good things when he teaches everyone.After all, the premise of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class should be to learn black magic, at least to understand black magic.
What Tom taught last year was the use of black magic.Although it is malicious, but the things taught are quite thorough, and the content is quite solid.At least let the students have some basic understanding of black magic.Instead of the 'black magic is evil' stereotype.
This made some freshmen have unreasonable expectations for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
You know, after so many years, not to mention whether there are any reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, even Lockhart is not known.That's why Dumbledore, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher behind, was transferred from the Order of the Phoenix.
"You'd better not get your hopes up, Hermione."
Luke said frankly to Hermione: "There's a problem with Lockhart. From his story to himself, there's a problem."
After hearing Luke's words, Hermione did not refute, but frowned: "Question..."
If someone else said this, while Hermione would definitely not believe it, she might label that person as 'jealous'.But now, it was Luke who said that, so she had to think about it.
Luke said nothing.In fact, what I just said was too much.
"Let's go, after this class, you will know."
There is no need to say anything at all, as long as this lesson is attended, then as long as this person still has reason, he will see the truth of Lockhart clearly.
But when they were about to arrive at the classroom, they saw a crowd gathered in the corridor. , Malfoy's nature has not changed, and when Harry does something, he will still sneer.These two people are not good friends.Saying it is an enemy is not enmity.
Very awkward relationship.
"Is that Harry? Malfoy looking for him?"
Taylor frowned.Harry and she had a decent relationship, and she knew that Harry had a place in Luke's plans, and that friends were more important than enemies.So she would take care of Harry from time to time.Not from the heart, just for Luke.
"Probably something unreasonable happened to Harry again." Hermione has already summed up some rules, as long as Harry does something that breaks the rules, Malfoy will be friendly or unkind. Appearing at the right time, interrupting Harry's embarrassment or good mood.

As the three approached, they heard a little boy holding a camera who looked like he was in the first grade and shouted loudly at Malfoy: "I think you're just jealous!"
Malfoy was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"Jealous? Jealous that you asked him for a photo?"
Malfoy really seemed to be sarcasm, but Harry was already staring at him fiercely.So he could only say relatively gently: "Not everyone is like you, brat."
Luke smiled, he was quite satisfied with the effect of the changes he had made.What Malfoy said in the original book was much worse.
"Signed photo?! Who is talking about autographed photo!"
Gilderoy Lockhart strode towards them, his turquoise robes billowing behind him.
Luke directly took a deep breath, and silently hid behind Taylor, but Taylor was much shorter than him, so he could only turn his back.
Lockhart grabbed Harry's shoulders: "We meet again! Harry!"
Harry looked embarrassed and was at a loss for a while.Both Malfoy and Ron felt something was wrong when they saw this. Ron tried to step forward and pull Harry, wondering if he could pull Harry out of Lockhart's arms.
Malfoy silently took two steps back.He didn't want to have anything to do with such a sensationalist.I don't know what's wrong with Harry not to be entangled with such a thing.
"Come on, Mr. Creevey," Lockhart said to Creevey with a smile on his face. "Two photos, it's a great deal. We'll both sign for you."
So a moment later, Colin had a signed photo of Harry and Lockhart.Of course, Harry's name was signed with the help of Lockhart.
Afterwards, Harry was carried towards the classroom by Lockhart.
Harry looked around in desperation, trying to find someone who could help him escape from the clutches of the devil.
He saw Luke's back, but Luke didn't turn his head to look at him, obviously not wanting to get involved.
Just like Malfoy thought.In their eyes, getting involved with Lockhart is really too cheap.
Hermione looked at Lockhart's back as he left with Harry in between, and then looked at Luke's movements, which were clearly avoiding the other's sight.Suddenly, I understood what Luke meant.
"There seems to be something wrong with him."
Taylor was more straightforward: "Such a flamboyant person is not very similar to the person in the book."
Luke didn't speak, just walked forward silently.What I read in books and movies are just other people's stories, and when such a thing really happens to me, I understand what embarrassment is.
As they approached the classroom, they saw Lockhart.
When Lockhart saw Luke, his eyes lit up obviously.
"Oh! Mr. Gaunt! He's been famous for a long time!"
Lockhart came up to shake Luke's hand.The smile on his face was too warm.
Taylor glanced at the other party, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Luke looked at Lockhart who was coming towards him, knowing that this matter was inevitable after all, so he gestured to the two girls behind him.Hermione and Tyler saw the gesture and left first.

Luke, on the other hand, had a reserved and distanced expression on his face, and said to Lockhart with a smile: "Professor Lockhart, your writing is very good."
Lockhart's writing is really good.The already ups and downs of the story are obviously more touching under his description.
"Haha! It's pretty good, right!" Lockhart showed what he thought was the most friendly smile, "I think you'll like it."
Luke had a brief chat with Lockhart while avoiding the seriousness, and then quickly looked for an opportunity to get away.
As he chatted, Malfoy slid past him in a hurry.Although he was not a famous person, Lockhart might not take the initiative to chat with him.But it's still better to be safe.
Back in his seat, Luke let out a long sigh of relief.
"What is he talking to you about?"
Taylor asked curiously.Hermione also looked over suspiciously.
Luke thought back to the unhealthy bullshit he and Lockhart had been talking about.
"Ask for money."
Luke ended up uttering only those two words.
What else would someone like Lockhart do looking for him.It must be beating around the bush and trying to cheat him of money.What the hell, even the gang of nobles didn't dare to hit Luke's mind after knowing that Luke was not easy to mess with.
And Lockhart is still self-righteous and thinks that Luke will be fooled by him.This really surprised Luke but also felt helpless.
He couldn't even figure out why.
Does he look so easy to fool?What next book can be co-authored by two people.The main thing is that Luke can pay.Judging from the price, Lockhart should really want to give Luke a chance to co-author a book with him.
Of course, Luke provided the money, Lockhart provided the pen, and some unlucky unknown person provided the story.
The problem was the price that Lockhart offered.To put it bluntly, Luke thought he could hire 20 gloves to kill Lockhart.
How did he open his mouth?
"Be careful, Lockhart's Occlumency is very strong, I can't see what he's thinking, not at all. And I doubt he will use Legilimency."
Taylor hurriedly warned Luke.Hermione also nodded on the side: "I can also feel a little fluctuation of memory magic. It's not just Occlumency and Legilimency. There may be others."
Since the last school year, she has focused most of her contacts on the study and research of memory magic, and has already initially touched the threshold of memory magic formulas.
She is confident that if she is given some more time, she will be able to complete the analysis of the magic formula of the 'Forgetting Nothing' spell.
And Luke once told her that after she finished analyzing this thing, he would give her a big gift.
Luke nodded. He knew very well the only magic Lockhart was good at.Forgotten is probably his most proficient magic.Occlumency should too.And this is also confirmed by Taylor's words.
After them, the students arrived one after another.Everyone is looking forward to what kind of class Lockhart, a well-known master of magic, will bring to them.
When the class was seated, Lockhart cleared his throat loudly to silence everyone.He reached for Neville Longbottom's Walking with Trolls and held it up in his hand, showing the blinking photograph of himself on the cover.

【Hogwarts Pure Blood Glory】【】
"Me," he said, pointing to his own photo, also winking, "Gilderoy Lockhart, [-]rd Class of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League, five-time Witcher Weekly Award for Most Charming Smile ——But I don't talk about that, I didn't drive away Wan Lun's female ghost with a smile!"
Some students smiled knowingly, obviously they knew what Lockhart was talking about about Wan Lun's female ghost.
But very few, only a handful of people.
Next, he sent everyone a small test paper made by himself.
"Ten minutes for you three. Now—begin!"
Luke looked at the test paper in his hand.
1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
2. What was Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
3. What do you consider Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
And so on, three full pages, the last question is:
4. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday?What's his ideal birthday present?
Then, Luke threw the test paper in his hand aside.
He felt that the first blank paper in his wizarding career was about to be born.
"Your father nearly died of shame when he received Dumbledore's letter last night. We worked so hard to bring you up, we didn't expect you to do something like this, you and Harry almost lost the baby Life……"
"...It's so annoying. Your father will be censored in the work unit. It's all your fault. If you don't behave according to the rules, we will bring you back immediately!"
The sound of the shouting letter shook the tableware and food all over the table.The look on Malfoy's face didn't stop.Neville silently blocked his ears.Some students laughed out loud.
Howler letter tore himself to shreds after greeting Ginny.
Ron blushed in shame at first.But gradually his face turned pale.Because he saw that several people were not smiling.
