Chapter 83 Talking About the Future
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Gemma Farley was a smart guy.Otherwise, he would definitely not be a Slytherin prefect.
After all, although the students in the Snake Academy don't care about the 'power' of the prefects, if a prefect who can't convince the public takes office, even if they don't say it, they will definitely act in a way that is obedient.
And Gemma has become the talker among the Slytherin students since she took office as the fifth grade prefect.All matters big and small are under her control.In the other four colleges, the impression of Gemma is quite good.The professors also praised it a lot.
From this, we can see the ability of this senior Gemma.
Such a person can shine and move people, and can also be with the light.Luke felt that this was indeed a rare talent.
So after Booker and her have a pretty good friendship, I am happy to see it succeed.
More importantly, he took over Gemma's temptations one by one.
After all, this is a two-way choice, not something that Luke can decide on his own.
At this time, Senior Gemma was also staring at Luke, without making a sound for a long time.
Although her temptations to Luke were not many, she did see a little bit of Luke's heart.
As for why she wanted to test Luke, of course it was because she liked Luke a little bit.
But anyone who is smart can see that Luke has a different political opinion.The younger students didn't care much, or didn't quite understand it, but the older students, especially the seventh graders in Slytherin.
Most of them have come into contact with the upper echelons of the magic world through their homes or other channels.Many people are clear about their proper political positions.
Most of the children from noble families are going to work in the Ministry of Magic. They are already in the seventh grade, and employment is within easy reach.The magic world doesn't talk about studying at a higher institution.
He graduated from Hogwarts in the seventh grade, which is already the highest degree in the British wizarding world.
Want to go further?Could it be...
And an outstanding student like Gemma has actually come into contact with many people... Nobles, high-ranking officials, Gringotts, Hogwarts produces a total of hundreds of new bloodlines throughout the year, and there are very few excellent ones. Chiefs are always in demand, and Slytherin prefects should not be too eye-catching.
Because often the most outstanding prefects in Slytherin are often nobles with natural political stances, or even one of the 28.
But this year, although Gemma Farley is a pure blood, her family is really not a nobleman.Naturally, it caught the attention of many people.It is also rare to be able to subdue a group of little snakes in this capacity.
The students in the lower grades already respected Luke vaguely at this time, but the students above the fifth grade kept a considerable distance from Luke to a certain extent.
When they heard Luke's speech, they knew whether they should be close to Luke.A group of people must have been dissuaded by Luke's idea.
Naturally, some people were attracted by Luke's statement.And Luke's identity determines that it is difficult for him to be unknown in the magic world, which means that no matter what the idea is, there is always a chance to try it.
Gemma, was one of those attracted to Luke.
"I've received a lot of invitations." Gemma looked at Luke and said with a smile, "There are several families, officials from the Ministry of Magic, and invitations from Gringotts."
There was a playful light in her eyes: "Do you want to provide a job for senior sister?"
Luke looked at Gemma with a flat face at first, looked at her amber eyes and light brown hair, and then smiled: "Why not?"
These words did not exceed Gemma's expectations.And after Luke finished speaking, her eyes lit up even more.
"You need a suitable person to take over the Lance family's business?"
She uttered a question in a positive tone.
Hearing this, the chuckle on Luke's face instantly became a lot more free and easy.There is no longer the previous restraint.
"Exactly, the amount of this property is quite large. The Lance family is more to let me show mercy on their family reputation. I agreed. And there are all other miscellaneous things."
He glanced at Gemma and said, "But I don't know if the specific list has been expanded. If my sister is willing, I can integrate these industries and take care of them."
Hearing his tone, Gemma seemed to be convinced of herself. Although she had a little understanding of Luke's temperament, the appearance in front of her was indeed something she had never seen before.
"You haven't even finalized the store yet, just thinking of fooling me into being your manager?"
Gemma also asked a little funny.
"There will definitely be a store, and it will be finalized at Christmas. At that time, senior sister can also take advantage of the holiday to take a look."
Luke said indifferently.
It's a joke, it's not a secret that Lance's family came to him, but when it comes to matters involving the industry, it can be known that the results must be obtained after detailed investigation.Even had to contact people outside the school to find out the ins and outs of this matter.
So after hearing Gemma mention the property, Luke understood that the matter was settled.
After he finished speaking, Gemma still stared at him closely, with a meaningful smile on her pretty face.
Luke noticed her face, but his expression was calm, and he didn't mean to speak.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Finally, Gemma couldn't help but speak.
Luke sighed a long time, and said to Gemma, "Sister, I'm only 11 years old, isn't it too early?"
Gemma was taken aback by Luke's words, then lightly hit Luke on the head, and said angrily and funnyly: "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"
Luke didn't laugh, but shook his head: "I don't like urging others to make choices."
He took a deep look at Gemma and said seriously: "Sister, you might as well take another look, don't rush to make a decision. This is not a trivial matter. Since you are so smart, you can't fail to think of the pros and cons."
Gemma also suppressed the smile on her face, looked carefully at Luke's face, and stared at those deep lake green eyes.As if to see through Luke's soul through those eyes.
After a long time, she said earnestly: "In that case, I will take another look. The job you offered is good. I will take a look during the Christmas holiday. If it is really suitable, then I will accept it."
"If you're not satisfied, the senior sister can just say it." Luke added, "It's nothing more than adding some money. I don't have much else, but I do have a lot of money."
Gemma nodded, then looked at Luke seriously and asked, "The last question, why me?"
Seeing Gemma's solemn expression, Luke smiled: "I'm just betting. Betting senior sister, you must not want to. The first thing you have to learn after entering the workplace is to stay humble."
"I'm the only boss here, and I won't be able to manage things for a while."
"What's more... you slowly want to see me, and I slowly want to see you, senior sister."
"It's just the first stage of trust between us."
Looking at Luke's somewhat indifferent smile, Gemma didn't show any feeling of distrust.
"It's really time for those school girls to see that Luke, who made them confused, doesn't look like a 'dawn' when talking about these things."
Luke looked at her smiling face, and there was a little more sincerity in the smile: "I didn't expect that the gentle and gentle senior Gemma would be willing to take this bet."
The smile on Gemma's face faded, and she looked around.Seeing this, Luke immediately waved his wand, and a sound-proof barrier expanded.
Gemma raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and then said to Luke: "The magic world is like an apple infested with bugs. Although the outside is still bright and beautiful, the inside is rotten."
"The first two who intend to change the status quo, I have never met the former, and I dare not say I understand it. Although the latter is just a childhood experience, it is definitely not a good change."
"But under the catalysis of the second person, many contradictions have gradually surfaced."
"I have my pursuit, but the current situation makes it impossible for me to realize this pursuit alone."
"I think your idea is a bit interesting, and I would like to take a look at the future you mentioned."
"If you agree, then you will go through fire and water, if you don't agree, then you will end your friendship."
When Gemma said this, her face was full of determination.
What Luke could see was that she was not only brave and determined at this time, but also deeply hated.
Luke didn't know where this hatred came from.But this hatred is definitely the driving force that drives her to change.
"Then senior sister will take it easy. If you really want to, I welcome you at any time."
Luke held out his hand to Gemma.Gemma held Luke's hand without hesitation.
The gentleness on his face disappeared, only determination was revealed.
……
In the library, Luke walked between the rows of bookshelves, but instead of keeping his eyes on the books, he lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
When Gemma hugged Booker and left, the expression on her face was as gentle as usual.Luke is not surprised by this, who doesn't have a time when Vajra glared and Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows.
What makes Luke think a little bit is why Gemma hates it?
There was never hatred on her face, but Luke could see her emotions clearly.So I also felt surprised.
When he was collecting information, he didn't find any clues.And if you ask directly, now is not the time.
At least we have to wait until the trust between the two goes up a level.
After all, the two of them now are still testing and understanding each other.It is far from the time to entrust the details.
Just like Luke didn't tell her his plan, let alone the news that the Lance family might belong to him.Because it's not yet time.
Gemma will never tell him those deep-seated secrets now.
Everyone has a trial process.
While Luke was thinking about what to do next, he heard someone calling his name.
"Luke!"
Luke woke up with a start, and felt someone grab his left sleeve.
He subconsciously threw his right arm, and the wand was already in his hand.
But after losing his mind, he remembered the owner of the voice, and took the wand back.
Looking back, he was also relieved.
"It's you, Hermione."
Hermione looked at Luke in a daze, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?"
Luke was puzzled.But when I looked around, I found that there was already a restricted book area not far ahead.Ms. Pince has also walked this way quickly, looking angry, but it should be to stop Luke from going any further.
And Luke was suddenly pulled by Hermione at this time, and she stopped.He glared at Luke, then walked back to his position.
Luke wanted to say two words of apology, but couldn't get out.
But it's already like this, so I can only give up.It seems that Mrs. Pince's love for students is really average.
"Why are you still distracted today? You need a note in the restricted area."
Hermione tugged on Luke's sleeve, found a library table and sat down.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. I had some property before, and I always wanted to find a trustworthy person to help me manage it. I found Senior Gemma today, and she agreed."
Luke simply told Hermione about the matter, and Hermione looked at Luke with a strange expression.
"You're so happy just because senior sister agreed to you?"
Hermione looked Luke up and down, and then thought about that senior Gemma.
Well, the first reaction in my mind was tall, long, big, with smiling eyes, as if he could talk.
I felt a little lost for a while, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
But Luke shook his head: "What are you thinking. I think there is something wrong with my senior sister who didn't tell me."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let me show you something."
He looked around.In the library in the early morning, apart from the two of them, only Mrs. Pince was holding a book in her hand and reading it engrossed.
So he called Doris out of his inner pocket.
Doris heard Luke's call, and immediately crawled out along Luke's hand, and then returned to her favorite position, on Luke's neck.
Luke noticed that when Hermione saw Doris, she was taken aback subconsciously, and there was a hint of liking and even obsession in her eyes.But soon he shivered, shrouded in fear.
The latter is normal.Gorgeous things are often poisonous, which can be said to be the common sense of children in the Muggle world.And Luke has never seen a more beautiful snake than Doris so far.
"It, it..."
As soon as the word "it" was uttered, Hermione saw those golden snake eyes, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other. Hermione only felt that her thoughts were getting slower and slower, and her body was getting heavier and heavier. It was like being lead-filled, unable to move.
She subconsciously wanted to call for help, but found that she couldn't even open her mouth.
But the next moment, this feeling disappeared.
After all, although the students in the Snake Academy don't care about the 'power' of the prefects, if a prefect who can't convince the public takes office, even if they don't say it, they will definitely act in a way that is obedient.
