Wo Bu Geng Xin
In an empty classroom.
"So in the end, I was just punished for copying the school rules?"
Hermione's eyes widened, her mouth couldn't close in shock, and her two beautiful eyebrows were eager to knit together, with an expression of disbelief.
Luke nodded, spinning the pen in his hand between his fingers, with a helpless expression on his face.
"Is it a little..."
Taylor's complexion was a little strange.This kind of punishment cannot be said to be a small punishment and a big commandment.Once this kind of punishment is handed down, the person who should be punished for copying the school rules is Snape.
"It's a bit light... There should be other punishments, right?"
Gemma's face was full of confusion.If this kind of thing is held up high and put down gently, will Snape's own professorial authority still be lost?
"That's right! At least a few dozen more points should be deducted!"
Hermione subconsciously opened her mouth to follow.
But before she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.
The points deducted must be those of Slytherin.And among the four people now, only myself is a Gryffindor, and the rest are Slytherins...
But fortunately, apart from Gemma giving her a surprised look, Taylor still looked pensive, and Luke looked a little bored.
"It's a trivial matter, don't pursue it, this is not an order that Snape can give alone."
Seeing the scene fell silent, Luke spoke helplessly.
He didn't believe this matter without Dumbledore's instructions.Because in the whole school, apart from Dumbledore who could command Snape, only Mr. Gallon was left.
Professor Snape is not short of money, but he will not refuse the opportunity to earn money.
Luke looked at the three girls around him one by one, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone should be free for a while, let's prepare for Halloween in a few days."
"Of course, on Hallowe'en, it's all about being safe."
Luke's words made the three of them feel that something was wrong, but judging from Luke's expression, he didn't mean to explain.
"Okay, got it, we'll be careful."
The three girls looked at each other, and then Gemma said to Luke.
Luke nodded, waved his hands at the three of them and said, "Go out first. I still have something to think about how to deal with it."
After hearing the words, the three women didn't bother too much, and got up to leave.
When he was about to walk out of the classroom, Taylor suddenly turned his head and asked, "Do you want to save food for you?"
Luke shook his head: "It won't be long, I'll be there in a while."
After speaking, he gave Taylor a bright smile.
Tyler gave him a deep look and nodded.
After that, under the gaze of the two people outside the door, he slowly walked out of the classroom and closed the classroom door gently.
And the moment the door closed, Luke snapped his fingers.The candles that were originally burning were extinguished one by one in the sound of 'poof'.
In the end, the only source of light in this classroom was the moon hanging in mid-air outside the window.
Under the cold moonlight, the classroom looked a little gloomy at this moment.
Luke walked to the window and looked into the distance.
The location of this classroom is great, looking to the right, you can see the Black Lake, and looking to the left, you can see the Forbidden Forest.
There was no movement in the Forbidden Forest, like a sleeping beast.
In the Black Lake, the breeze wrinkled the surface of the lake, and the sparkling waves under the moonlight looked like scattered gems.The scenery was beautiful, and Luke also felt mentally relaxed.
However, this relaxation didn't last long. He saw a huge object rising from the lake, stretching out four slender but surprisingly sized tentacles, grabbing towards the moon from afar.
Looking at it from a distance, it seems to be pulling the moon down from the sky.
Of course Luke didn't know what this thing was.
The Giant Squid, one of the mascots of Hogwarts.According to legend, it is an animal that is very friendly to little wizards.It stands to reason that he is not a magical creature, but judging from various legends, even some magical creatures may not be as intelligent as it.
This in itself is not normal.
And judging from the degree of activity, this giant squid is probably the overlord of the Black Lake, but there are many magical creatures in the Black Lake.Among other things, although the horse-shaped water monster may not form a group, there is definitely more than one.
Looking at the dangerous magical creature in front of him, he was a little bit discouraged.
"Tsk, it's really too dangerous to add to the fire..."
Luke murmured helplessly to himself.
If, as originally imagined, some magical animals from the Forbidden Forest were summoned together to form a frightening beast tide, the water would definitely be muddy.But no matter it was too dangerous, the professors were attracted to do it seriously, or the professors didn't have time to do it, the beast horde was out of control.
Luke doesn't think he has the ability to restrain all magical animals in his current self.Even Newt Scamander was only friends with them.Helping is friendship, but losing control is instinct.
Some of them, although they have intelligence not inferior to humans, are still beasts after all.How can something like animal nature be suppressed so easily.
And just as Luke was brainstorming, those tentacles suddenly fell back into the water, causing a lot of splashes and noises.Startled by the sound, Luke looked over there again, but was attracted by the two figures on the shore.
One figure stood in front of the other, pointing at the giant squid that was poking its head out of the water, not knowing what to say.
The other one was pulling his robe with a smile on his face.
Luke recognized two people, Percy Weasley and Penelope Clearwater. He didn't expect that the two of them would be together now.
But it was just a smile.Compared with the students in the lower grades, Percy and Penello in the fifth grade are also at the age when they are in love.And the two of them get mixed up, I'm afraid I can't do without my own credit.
But... Luke is not optimistic about Percy's character.Perhaps the background color is good, but after all, it is mixed with too many things, far less firm and pure than the twins.
Penelope... He didn't understand even more, he only knew that he was the prefect of Ravenclaw, a clever witch.Good thing, smart people always know when to stop losses in time.
But when Luke was looking at the pair of young men and women over there, the giant squid not far away cast his gaze on him.
Luke noticed the gaze and looked over immediately.
And Percy seemed to have sensed something was wrong with the giant squid. He followed his gaze and saw that there was someone at the window, which made him startled.
Without even thinking about it, he would pull Penello out of here.
Penello looked at the panicked Percy, his expression was a little complicated while panicked.
And Luke, who saw this scene from the corner of his eye, twitched the corner of his mouth.
The professors at Hogwarts don't catch puppy love, and what's so shameful about Mu Ai's young age is that in his previous life, even in junior high school, the teachers mostly turned a blind eye.
Not every teacher can do the thing of beating mandarin ducks with sticks.
Luke also couldn't understand Percy's brain circuit, so he simply ignored it.What made him feel even more strange was the giant squid in front of him.
Looking at the giant squid, he could feel the giant squid's kindness towards him.This one doesn't even need to look at the emotional dust surrounding it.
Although all the information found in the previous life told him that the giant squid had a relationship with Gryffindor, it was just a rumor, a joke of the author that was distorted.
But in this world, he did hear similar legends. Of course, everyone just listened to it as a joke.
Even the cubs who are keen on adventures rarely die like this.Really annoyed the giant squid, a little wizard is not enough for it.
One person and one squid looked at each other for a while, then the giant squid quietly dived into the water and disappeared again.
This made Luke a little confused for a while, but it was a bit silly to be serious with a squid.
He laughed at himself, turned around and prepared to leave. Some things had to be prepared early.
However, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he felt that he had more doubts about the draft that had been typed before, and it seemed that there were still many things that could be improved.
Thinking of this, he silently re-prepared his words in his heart.Just take this doubt as the fact that I noticed something was wrong.Didn't think much about it.
……
"Dorisk! Why do you have the money to come to me today!"
In a noisy but extremely dimly lit tavern, the owner was smoking a pipe, looking at the dark and thin man in front of him.
"What do you mean 'how can I come to you with money'!" Dorisk yelled in a low voice like a broken bellows, "How can I be short of money to come to you?! Serve me a butterbeer!"
The arrogance beyond words, the face of a villain.
The bald boss snorted and rolled his eyes: "You bastard, you haven't paid back the money you owed for the drink last time. If you want a drink, take out the money from the last time and this time."
There was no embarrassment on Dorisk's dark face: "What's the rush! I owe you first, and I'll give you the money after I finish this big deal!"
It looks imposing and full of pride, and it doesn't seem to have much connection with that wretched appearance.
But the boss was not fooled by the bastard's appearance and gesture.
"Oh, you said the same thing last time, but you haven't given me the money until now. Bastard, do you know how expensive a bottle of Dragon's Blood whiskey is! How dare you come to the door without any money? I'm really not afraid that I will kill you you?"
As he spoke, he took out a wand from under the bar that looked like a twig that was randomly snapped off the side of the road.
Seeing the other party draw out his wand, Dorisk didn't panic, but the expression on his face suddenly changed from impassioned to flattering.
"Oh, Bennetto! We have been old buddies for many years, don't bother with me on such trivial matters, I promise, I will definitely make money this time, the bastard last time, it's just that I didn't notice it for a while That's all."
In the second half of the speech, he said while patting his chest.Looks pretty confident too.
But Bennetto didn't mean to believe it at all, he just sneered.However, in the end he reluctantly put away his wand, turned around and poured a glass of butterbeer on the table.
"I wish you to be tricked into not wearing underwear again."
Bennetto sneered.
Dorisk smiled, picked up the quilt and took a big gulp, babbling, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Don't worry, it won't. I have observed the transaction partner this time. He is definitely the kind who is obedient and easy to bully."
As he said that, he looked at Benetto again, winked and smiled and said, "When you serve the wine later, don't forget to add some ingredients to the wine."
Bennetto sneered, but did not refuse.
"I hope you didn't miss it."
Dorisk wanted to say something, but when the bell rang outside the door, he regained his energy and raised his head again.The thin figure was wrapped in a wide robe, like a mouse getting into a plastic bag.
But when seeing his face, no one will think that this person is incompetent.
The appearance is not good-looking, but the momentum that everything is under control seems quite reassuring.
He turned around and saw a dementor-like guest in a dark tavern in a black robe with a hood covering his face.
"Being obedient and easy to bully?"
Bennetto's almost mocking question came to Dorisk's ears.
Although he was a little flustered, Dorisk did not show any timidity on his face, but got up quite calmly, winked at the person who came in from the door, and walked towards a table in the corner of the bar by himself.
And the man didn't hesitate, and followed Dorisk's footsteps and walked over.
Bennetto wiped his wine glass and looked at the guest intentionally or unintentionally.
But I really can't see clearly.But his tavern itself was designed like this, so it's not a good thing to see clearly.
Seeing that person walk past the bar, Bennetto exchanged glances with several wizards not far from the bar.Then silently tidied up the wine cabinet.
And the few wizards who exchanged glances with him, unconsciously shifted their gazes to that dementor-like person.
Dorisk sat on the chair, stretched out his hand and made a please gesture towards the opposite chair.
The man was not polite, and sat on the chair very naturally.
"Friend, would you like something to drink?"
Dorisk had a big smile on his face.
The man just kept his head down.And a hoarse and cold voice came from under the hood.
"Let's talk about business."
Dorisk was not annoyed either, and said with a smile, "Drink some, I'll pay the bill, you know the dragon's blood whiskey in the 'Hash' tavern is the best in England!"
Saying that, regardless of the person opposite, he directly said to the waiter on the side: "Kill! Two glasses of dragon's blood whiskey!"
The waiter smiled and nodded, then walked towards the bar.
After ordering the wine, Dorisk said with a smile: "Ha, I usually don't dare to drink too much, it's too expensive, but in order to entertain you, I should have a drink. Can be a friend!"
And the only response to him was a sneer from Hood Show.
"So in the end, I was just punished for copying the school rules?"
Hermione's eyes widened, her mouth couldn't close in shock, and her two beautiful eyebrows were eager to knit together, with an expression of disbelief.
