Chapter 259 Calm and Waves
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
After finishing an adventure in the Chamber of Secrets, Luke returned to the scope of Hogwarts again.And the moment he walked out of the women's toilet, Dumbledore appeared beside him.
Luke wasn't surprised, and neither was Dumbledore.
"Have you found what you were looking for?"
After looking at Luke and finding that there were no injuries on his body, Dumbledore asked with concern.
Gently exhaling, Luke nodded and said, "I've already got what I want, but Professor, I haven't asked your opinion all this time, do you want to close the net now?"
Now there is no problem with closing the network.Under the circumstances that only Dumbledore knew, after Luke got what he wanted, he could close the net, set up the preset trap for him, and then let him sit in the Sterling Chamber of Secrets to inherit author's name.Attract all the firepower that should have fallen on Luke here.
Of course Dumbledore knew what Luke was thinking, and even now he was not quite sure whether the guy that Luke pointed out was real, or whether it was a cover-up arranged by Luke.
To be honest, it is still within Luke's ability to set up a two-layer baby.
So Dumbledore is still a little suspicious looking at Luke now.
Seeing Dumbledore's expression like this, Luke also scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.
"You say it's fine, and of course you will be able to tell whether it is true or not in the end."
What Luke said was very frank, but he also knew that even so, it was still difficult to dispel Dumbledore's suspicion of him.
Although the relationship between the two has improved a lot, the more the relationship improves and the more he understands Luke, the more Dumbledore is guilty of Luke's handling of affairs.
It can't be said that Luke is a little unscrupulous sometimes, it can only be said that this kid is indeed a little too cautious.
It feels normal for him to engage in double-layer encryption.
But what he said was also reasonable. If something was really going on, Dumbledore would be able to tell the difference at a glance when he saw the Lord.
"If it doesn't affect your plan, close the net as soon as possible." Dumbledore's face was full of helplessness, and he didn't quite adapt to the current Hogwarts atmosphere. Although the students didn't say it was complaining, but look It really does look dissatisfied.This is a very rare atmosphere in the history of Hogwarts.
After all, although the teaching tasks at Hogwarts are heavy, the students' learning tasks are all in good condition. Of course, it was not normal when Voldemort was in power.But at that time, the vast majority of students were fighting against each other.Even among noble students, only some of them are willing to become Death Eaters.
There are also some who choose to remain neutral, or simply stand on the opposite side.
"It's okay, I will speed up the progress of the plan as much as possible, and you can rest assured about the safety of the students. It's just a basilisk, nothing to worry about."
Luke promised firmly, looking confident.Dumbledore also understood Luke's confidence.After all, in the entire wizarding world, the one who said he was best at dealing with snake-like magical animals must be the Gunter family.
"I leave it all to you, make it more beautiful...I have to face the Ministry of Magic's inquiries later..."
There was indescribable fatigue in Dumbledore's tone.This means that in front of Luke, the relationship between the two people is also a teacher and a friend, and Luke is also very independent. Dumbledore does not need to act in front of him as if he is calm and everything is under control.
But Luke never believed in Dumbledore's helplessness.In his eyes, Dumbledore had many solutions.All these troubles are because of the slightly high moral bottom line.
"Cornel Fudge, if you want, I can help you with this trouble." Luke had a pretentious flattery on his face, "help you share your worries
, that's my pleasure! "
After hearing what he said, Dumbledore's face was full of disgust.
"Your words sound good, is it because I let go of my mouth, and you change your mouth and spread the news. I support Barty Crouch as the new Minister of Magic, and think that an early election should be held."
Dumbledore didn't even need to use his brain to figure out what this little bastard Luke was planning. As soon as this word came out, Barty Crouch's position as the next Minister of Magic would basically be secure.In addition to Luke's previous efforts in the Three Witches Tournament, it goes without saying that Barty Crouch must be grateful to Luke, and he naturally became Luke's side.
In this way, leaving aside other progress, his gathering and purification of the entire 28 families, and even the pure blood families will undoubtedly go further.
She was doing what she wanted to do under the guise of saving face for him.
But when Dumbledore saw Luke's face, he didn't see the grinning face he expected.It was a pair of unusually calm eyes.
"Yeah," Luke whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "you know, as long as the wind is out, even if it's the people behind that stupid Fudge, Fudge, that incompetent coward They will never dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.”
"Why not?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Luke's questioning tone.Dumbledore could hear it, and he knew Luke did it on purpose.
He just found it funny that Dumbledore was so obsessed with order and restraint on himself.
With such strength, of course one can abide by the order, which is not a problem at all, but this order, it is best to make an order by oneself, so as not to let oneself be hindered everywhere.
Luke thinks Dumbledore has chosen the wrong path.But Dumbledore just shook his head silently when faced with such questioning words: "I support your idea, but don't try to change my bottom line, Luke, no matter what you want to do, it won't do you any favors." Good thing. You know it all too well."
Luke closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes after a while, and said with a normal expression: "Okay, don't worry, Professor, I will get rid of that basilisk as soon as possible, and it won't cause you any trouble."
"It's already causing trouble!" Dumbledore said to Luke dissatisfied.
The atmosphere between these two people returned to normal in an instant, as if nothing had happened before.
"Aside from the secret room, what else are you thinking about?"
Dumbledore was puzzled.In fact, he was a little puzzled. What other plans did Luke have to implement? Can this matter be juxtaposed with the Chamber of Secrets?You know, the sooner a conclusion is made about the chamber of secrets, the better.Lest you have long nights and dreams.
"I'm going to use Lockhart as a stepping stone," Luke said without telling Dumbledore, "you can rest assured that I will never invent other charges, I will only conduct a fact-based investigation and then produce evidence."
"That's enough for him to be sentenced to hundreds of years in Azkaban by the Wizengamot."
Dumbledore sighed softly.After getting along for so many days, he finally understood that Lockhart was a solid embroidered pillow, and if he really wanted to talk about his ability to duel, he might as well be a fifth-year wizard.
However, Lockhart with such strength can make those wizards who have experienced the things written in his book crushed, obviously he also has his own special skills.
"It's better to be careful, Lockhart must have something else on hand."
Dumbledore still told Luke seriously. After all, although Luke is powerful, mature, and resourceful... Hell, it seems that he really doesn't need to be instructed.
"Don't capsize in the gutter." Dumbledore could only give one such "blessing" in the end.
Luke rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm almost done. I won't let my people take risks easily."
After finishing speaking, Luke turned around, waved lightly at Dumbledore, and walked away.
Dumbledore looking at Luke's back
Shadow, smiled lightly.It's just that this smile is somewhat bitter.
"I forgot to ask him what is in the secret room... Forget it, let's ask next time."
………………
"You let me into the secret room!"
Taylor's usually cold expression finally didn't hold back. He was a little surprised at first, then became a little flustered, and finally turned into a little shyness mixed with happiness.
"So, isn't it a little too anxious?"
Taylor said with some embarrassment.
And Hermione, who was beside her, almost glared at Luke.
No, what time is it!Didn't it mean that Luke's vacation is mainly to make troubles abroad?When did the relationship with Taylor get closer.There are only a few days in a summer vacation, how carefully you Luke Gunter arranges your time to get three girls in one vacation.
What's even more hateful is...you have time to get three, isn't it difficult to get four? !
Luke looked at the expressions of the two people, felt the somewhat weird mood swings of the two of them, and immediately thought of what the two of them were thinking.
"No! That's not the case... As the owner of the chamber of secrets, I can grant permission to others. But after entering, you must obey the rules, but there is a Slytherin's thought body inside, and you can do it. Hermione, if you are interested If so, I can also open it to you, but it contains research on potion science and blood magic. It seems that there are not many materials about charm science.”
Luke hurried to explain.He can talk a lot about other people, whether it's with Chris Lestrange or Sapphire Skye, he can deal with it with aplomb.But for Taylor and Hermione, if he dared to say it casually, if the two of them took it seriously, he might really be hacked.
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time looked a little disappointed.The same is true for Taylor. While he was relieved, his mood also became a little depressed.
You have to be the heir of Slytherin to enter the Chamber of Secrets.According to what Luke told them before, people from the Gaunt family may be required to enter.Others couldn't get the real thing, if they could.
Now that Taylor can go in, doesn't that mean that Taylor will be turned into a member of the Gaunt family... It's not like the last name will not change.As long as you marry Luke, you will naturally become Gaunt.
After being silent for a while, and even Luke felt a little suffocated, Hermione seemed to realize something suddenly.
"Luke, what did you say was in the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Experimental data on bloodline research and potions."
"No, not the sentence before this one."
"Ahead... in the chamber of secrets is the thought body of ancestor Slytherin."
When he said this, Luke himself paused. He didn't feel it before, but now, he was woken up by Hermione.
"Those research materials are very important, but against the background of Slytherin's thoughts, they become worthless!"
The excitement on Hermione's face was undisguised: "That's Slytherin's missing body. Even a young Slytherin probably has a considerable reserve of knowledge! If Luke has his guidance, he will make a lot of money." !"
Luke nodded repeatedly, while Taylor was a little confused.She didn't know the meaning of the proper noun in memory magic, "Thinking Body".But looking at the excited looks of the two people, I can guess the general idea.
"In this case, I might indeed have to ask for advice in the secret room for a while."
Taylor said seriously.She learned about potions from her grandma when she was a child.Then learn from Professor Snape.Some of Snape's professors didn't care much about teaching ordinary students.But the teaching of good geniuses is handy even if they are devoted to it.
However, Taylor knew that even if grandma and Professor Snape were added together, they might not be able to compare with Lord Slytherin.There is no need for any body, and this castrated version of the missing body is probably incomparable.
Of course, having said that, we have to look at the actual situation.
After Luke was happy for a moment, he closed
He restrained himself, but looked a little distressed.
"To be honest...it's nice to think about it, but in reality, he may not be willing to let you ask for advice."
Thinking back on Slytherin's character, Luke's expectations dropped.
He can only be regarded as gentle towards himself, and the missing body does not contain all of the body, and it is easier to fall into paranoia in a certain aspect of character.Luke didn't know if the paranoia of the missing body in the secret room was biased towards the love of the younger generation of the family.Then for non-family juniors, I am afraid that the attitude will not be very friendly.
The two girls, Hermione and Taylor, looked at each other, and then Taylor said seriously: "It doesn't matter, the value of the information in the secret room is already high enough. Even without the assistance of Lord Slytherin."
Hermione quickly added: "Also, Luke, you should settle the matter as soon as possible. If this matter drags on for too long, it may be detrimental to you."
If the matter is not resolved for a long time, it will inevitably make people doubt Luke's ability to handle affairs.
But Luke is not in a hurry. If it is resolved too quickly, people will doubt the degree of danger of this matter.He was going to wait a little longer, and let's talk about some small things that can make people scared.
Luke wasn't surprised, and neither was Dumbledore.
"Have you found what you were looking for?"
After looking at Luke and finding that there were no injuries on his body, Dumbledore asked with concern.
