Chapter 85 Invitation and Warning

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Seeing that Malfoy was about to pat Luke to attract his attention, Taylor could only open his mouth slightly again and spit out a syllable when he sighed speechlessly.
Malfoy only felt that there were thousands of horses and horses galloping past in his ears.In addition to the pain, there was still a bit of dizziness, so I had to stop there.
Luke naturally noticed this from the corner of his eye, but he didn't pay attention to it. At this time, his attention was on the last few ingredients.
First, pick up the moon flower and put it in when the potion turns light blue.
After the moonflower has melted in the potion, add the opal powder.
The wand was a little above the cauldron, and the spinning potion gradually subsided, only boiling.
Luke threw the withered limb of the last Bowtruckle into the cauldron, and the potion in the cauldron began to change color rapidly, from light blue to bone white, then bright yellow, and finally light purple .
Luke didn't dare to neglect, and when it turned purple, he immediately went deep into his wand and shook it gently.And the potion in the crucible began to rotate counterclockwise. As the potion quickly evaporated and decreased, the light purple color gradually faded, and it became colorless and transparent, as ordinary as clear water, but with a faint fragrance floating out of the crucible. .
A look of surprise appeared on Luke's face, but he quickly restrained himself.While taking out a potion bottle from the shelf next to it, while shaking the wand, the little potion left in the crucible flew out of it, like a small water dragon, and plunged into the potion bottle.
After closing the lid, Luke breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead whether it was from nervousness or heat, and then handed the potion bottle in his hand to Taylor again.
Taylor reached out to take it, and after opening it, he still smelled it. After seeing that there was no major problem, he put a drop on his finger. Seeing nothing unusual, he took a drop from his finger into his mouth and tasted it.
Then nodded: "No problem."
Luke felt relieved a lot, then turned his head to Malfoy who was still in a daze and asked, "What's the matter, Draco?"
Malfoy shook his still dizzy head, the roar had already calmed down, but the remaining dizziness was hard to calm down for a while.
But when Luke asked, Malfoy had already returned to his senses.
Luke looked at him and asked with concern: "What's the matter? You don't look very comfortable."
Hearing Luke's question, Malfoy forced a smile on his face: "It's nothing, just a little...ringing in the ears?"
Hearing this answer, Luke said with a strange expression: "Tinnitus? We shouldn't be at the age of tinnitus now, right?"
Luke said such words, but the children couldn't understand what they meant, and even Taylor was at a loss to understand the three meanings.
But Snape, who had a good ear, listened to all the words and moved his hands.Harry couldn't help shivering in fright, and almost poured the bottle of opal powder in his hand into the cauldron.
Snape first gave Luke a weird look, and then looked at Harry who had almost made a mistake. With a sneer on his lips, he began to mock Luke as a routine in every class.
While Luke felt in his heart that Snape's attitude towards Harry was only weird and complicated, he said to Malfoy seriously: "You can't stay up all night anymore, you have to keep healthy."
Looking at the concern on Luke's face, Malfoy was really touched.
"I will!"
"Okay, by the way, what do you want to see me for?"
After finishing speaking, Luke asked Malfoy why he came, and then Malfoy remembered the business.
"That's right, Captain Flint asked me to invite you to watch the Quidditch practice at our snake yard." Malfoy looked at Luke proudly, "He heard that you haven't played Quidditch before, like Let you go and have a look, maybe you can get interested. And your flying talent is also good, maybe you have the opportunity to join the school team."
If we say that among the students, those who are at the top of the chain of contempt, as far as the current situation is concerned, are indeed those of the Quidditch team.
The twins were famous throughout the school, not just because they were both rowdy, but because they were both Gryffindor Quidditch players, and they were pretty good ones at that.
Luke thought that if he really had that talent, he would naturally be willing to join the Quidditch team.But unfortunately, although his talent is not bad, it is far from outstanding.
Furthermore, I really don't have much interest, so this thing is worse than nothing.
For the flaws he showed in front of everyone, it was enough that he was not good at brewing potions.Any more is superfluous.
So after his first flying lesson, he made up his mind not to join the Quidditch team.
It's just that he never expected that Marcus Flint was so persistent.
Persistence is a bit abnormal.
Luke thought of this, his eyes changed, and it was as deep as a breathtaking abyss for an instant, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly recovered, and said to Malfoy: "Okay, I really want to see it too. What time?"
Malfoy was overjoyed when he heard that.In fact, he knew Luke quite well, knowing that Luke had no interest in Quidditch.Every time they chatted, although Luke could add a few words, and even said some insightful things.
But other people couldn't see it, how could someone like Malfoy, who had been socializing with his father since he was a child, couldn't see it.
The way Luke talked about Quidditch with them was pretty much the same way his dad looked when he talked about things he didn't like.
Smiling, plain and quiet.Not much to say, but if you really want to ask, you will definitely be able to give a good enough answer.
Seriously, he knew that the people around him, including Harry, Ron and even the two Weasley twins, would never see Luke's intentions.
Because they don't have many such entertainments at home.
But unfortunately, this kind of entertainment is not lacking in every standard noble family...
Therefore, it can be regarded as one of the necessary skills for noble children to grow up.
Therefore, when he came, he really didn't expect Luke to agree so easily.
And Luke watched his face change, and the surprise emotion, and he thought about something in a flash, so he smiled and said to Malfoy: "For your sake, you know me after all. "
As soon as these words came out, Malfoy really felt proud and joyful while feeling that he had more face.
"Tomorrow afternoon, the right to use our stadium is mainly to give the first-year students a mock match, so that the first-year students can see our majestic posture."
As he spoke, there was unconcealable pride in his tone.
"It seems that you are also one of them."
Luke took up the conversation with a smile.
Hearing this, Malfoy really had a smug smile on his face.
"As a first-year candidate, I will conduct confrontation training with several other seniors tomorrow."
Leaving aside the pride on his face, the pride in his tone made others envious.
The commotion here was not considered big, but Harry and Ron were not far away from them, so naturally they heard everything.He even felt Malfoy's provocative gaze.But just looking at Ron.
Ron gave Malfoy a disdainful look, disdainful of his pride, then looked at Snape who had gone away, and then said to Harry: "Look at Malfoy's complacent look, it's just a To be selected. You are already our Gryffindor Seeker, and you don't show off to others."
Harry blushed a little at what he said. It wasn't that he didn't want to show off, but that Wood didn't let him show off. After all, he wanted to use him as a secret weapon.What he said from the dinner table earlier.Everyone heard it too.Although Malfoy heard it too.The term "secret weapon" naturally no longer exists.But Harry wasn't stupid, and since Wood didn't say anything else, he'd better keep a low profile.
Moreover, those who he thought were worthy of his showing off had already finished showing off.
The news that Malfoy became a candidate was not known before, and he came here first to show off to Luke, Harry and Ron.
You know, the selection of a normal Quidditch team starts from the second grade, but the candidates are not just the second grade, but from the second grade to the seventh grade.
Malfoy is the only candidate to participate in the competition, as far as the first grade is concerned.
After Luke readily accepted this invitation, Malfoy quickly returned to his seat, and began to brew his own cold medicine under Snape's cold gaze.
During dinner time, Luke and Taylor sat in a corner. Hermione found her from not far away and sat down calmly.
Gemma saw the three of them from a distance, but didn't rush to get together until Luke called out.
Everyone first talked about some interesting stories in the classroom. Hermione also admired the seniors who were famous for being 'very capable'. In her eyes, those who got the first place in the grade were all worthy of respect.
Whether it's Percy Weasley or Gemma Farley in front of him.
It doesn't matter what college it is.Since she came to the school, she hasn't seen such a fierce contest between colleges.
On the contrary, it means solidarity and helping each other.In the past few days, she has seen Ravenclaw students helping Gryffindor students make up lessons.There are also Slytherin students who give Hufflepuff how to make some of their own dishes.
Regardless of other ages, everyone in the first grade is really in harmony.
After all, all grades, those who are faintly leading can sit at the same table to eat.
Hufflepuff's Ernie McMillan also often comes to play with Luke.
While chatting, they talked about Malfoy's invitation today.
Luke didn't hide it, and after swallowing what was in his mouth, he said frankly: "I really didn't expect Marcus to be so persistent. But after thinking about it, there must be something begging me. "
So at the corner of the table, the four inconspicuous people fell silent together.
Hermione was still a little confused, but Taylor and Gemma had already started thinking.And Hermione felt a little strange after seeing Luke's calm expression and the actions of the other two.But after all, he didn't say anything, and began to think silently.
Luke looked at Hermione's performance and was very satisfied.
Of course, he didn't think Hermione would think of it faster or deeper than the other two.
Both Gemma and Taylor have been through big things.There is a heavy pressure in my heart.
Luke didn't ask, and they didn't mention it.
Compared with them, Hermione's pre-school story must be unremarkable.But very happy.
"Perhaps it is to attract your attention and make you a Quidditch player? Whether you are powerful or not is the second. The key is that you have a living sign. When the two colleges are facing each other, you will definitely be able to reap the benefits of the other two colleges." Support from neutral classmates?"
Hermione didn't feel that this was too important a question, so she simply thought about it and mentioned a possibility.
Luke nodded, but didn't say right or wrong.
After a while, Taylor said: "It probably doesn't mean anything too deep. Flint has never had any wrong thoughts. It's probably just an appointment, and he really values you. He really wants your support. And he has a heart I want to change the equipment for the team, but I really lack money.”
Both Hermione and Gemma looked at Taylor, who was eloquent and eloquent, and were puzzled by her firm tone, but they only nodded when they saw Luke, and didn't ask any more questions.
"Marcus really doesn't have a lot of thoughts... Although he is a bit domineering, he usually fights with people on Quidditch." Gemma took the lead, "Wood of Gryffindor has nothing to do with him. Well, because the way they both play is tough. And you know what Slytherin was like before, so it's not worth talking about."
"I think what Hermione and Taylor said should make sense. Marcus wants to change equipment, but the lack of money is not news. It is not impossible to find you. As long as you like Quidditch It's not a big problem to spend some money to change the equipment. You don't care about these small money."
Although this remark is only a synthesis of the reasons for the first two, it is rare to find the internal logical connection between the two reasons.It seemed that he had indeed guessed what Marcus was thinking.
Luke nodded again, but this time seriously, because he thought so too.
"But... Luke, I have to tell you something."
Gemma didn't continue following Luke's question, but brought up another topic.
Seeing that there was no joke on her face, Luke said, "Say it."
"Marcus is not the only one in the team, although he is already the captain this year. But there is another person who is very difficult to deal with him."
"Oliver Knott. Seventh year Slytherin."
"The point is... he was a fanatical supporter of the pure-blood theory."
"The speech you gave at the beginning of the school night made him very unhappy. On the surface, you can't find trouble with you, but it has become a reasonable collision on the court."
"I must invite you this time, not necessarily without his help."
"Be careful, Luke."
Gemma said seriously: "Things may not be simple."
Malfoy only felt that there were thousands of horses and horses galloping past in his ears.In addition to the pain, there was still a bit of dizziness, so I had to stop there.
Luke naturally noticed this from the corner of his eye, but he didn't pay attention to it. At this time, his attention was on the last few ingredients.
