Chapter XVIII

Harry's first reaction when he saw Luke was surprise.

Luke was the first young wizard of his age he came into contact with, and he was quite good in temperament and charisma.

Although he didn't have much contact with Luke, he really had a good impression of Luke as a person.

"Long time no see, Harry."

The corners of Luke's mouth were still unassailably smiling. It looks gentle and sunny, but also very sincere.

"Long time no see...... Harry suddenly didn't know what to say to Luke after saying hello, so he had an idea and pulled Ron over beside him.

"This is, Ron, my new friend."

Before Ron could react, Harry dragged him in front of Luke's eyes, and at the same time noticed that Luke's eyes were on him. This made him a little nervous for a while.

The person in front of him had heard it many times in the past month. Whether it's mom and dad, or George and Fred, they often talk about this man's return, his bloodline, and the large inheritance he inherited.

Second, because of his personal curiosity, he did collect some information in this area. For example, the Gaunt family's. Then he was frightened by the history of the Gaunt family, and the behavior of the characters in their family. In all respects, the members of the Gaunt family should not be very compatible with their Weasley family.

Can a wizard who is hostile to Muggle-born wizards, or even Muggles themselves, cultivate an outlier with a similar position to their Weasleys?

Ron was deeply skeptical. But since Harry had already been introduced, silence was rude. Mom occasionally told him not to be rude in front of certain people, of course, those who are not used to seeing it on the bright side can be left alone. At least not in formal social situations.

When Ron listened to his mother's instructions, he wondered, what formal social occasions did their family have? After this question was asked, my mother sneered, and then said helplessly that although they hated such things, the facts were already here. Even if someone hates them, there is no way to kick their family out of this circle, and even if their family wants to leave this circle by themselves, they are not allowed.

So Ron never asked a similar topic since. Because he doesn't understand it yet, it doesn't make sense to listen to it.

"Hello, I'm Ron, Ron Weasley."

The introduction is very simple, the tone is a bit stiff, and the face is a little gloomy. It doesn't look like his first impression of Luke is good.

Hermione stood beside Luke, observing the red-haired, freckled boy who looked a little like the upperclassman who had poked his head out earlier. And a certain guess was made about his attitude.

It also made her feel a little strange, where did this inexplicable hostility come from? It doesn't seem like Luke's affinity works well for anyone either.

Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Ron regretted it a little after saying that. Because he actually doesn't have any opinions about Luke, it's just that he is a little afraid of society, and for some reasons, it makes it difficult for him to get close to Luke.

"If I speak like this, he won't give me a good look."

Ron was faintly embarrassed, but he didn't know how to redeem it for a while.

"I've heard of you, Weasleys, and I envy you for having so many brothers and sisters, after all, I don't have any other peers around me, or even anyone else around me."

Luke stretched out his hand towards Ron, still smiling on his face, but it was a little dim, and his whole mood was relatively low.

Ron didn't seem to expect Luke's reaction at all, and he was a little at a loss, and after a moment's pause, he quickly took Luke's hand and tried to maintain his proper demeanor.

"It's not necessarily a good thing, just look at what I've got on me."

There was a hint of complaint in his words, but Luke could understand Ron's upset. For Luke, if the item wasn't really valuable enough to a certain extent, he would rather buy it than use someone else's leftovers.

"There will be opportunities for change."

Luke was under the impression that although the Weasleys now seemed to be so poor, they didn't even have much money in the family coffers. But the next group of children are very capable.

Of course, what is even more enviable is their family's ability to have children. Wizards are not very fertile, so Malfoy's direct descendant, that is, the person who can inherit the family, is the only one who can inherit the family.

The Gaunt family is based on the genealogy that Luke found in his home. That is, from the generation that separated, and it has been a single biography since then. He also got his hands on the genealogy of the Gaunt family on the surface. This was thanks to a trip to the abandoned ancestral home of the Gaunt family. He didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, but he didn't show much nostalgia for the deserted mansion.

He knew that there was a resurrection stone, one of the deathly holy artifacts, and that the ring inlaid with this treasure had been turned into a Horcrux, so he didn't move anything, just copied a genealogy and left in a hurry. It's mainly to confirm one thing.

As for destroying Horcruxes and stuff, that's not what he's going to do right now. And now he really doesn't have this ability.

Of course, he also knew that even the Gaunt family was the same, most of the men were only one per generation, and at most there were only two.

A family like Weasley, which is obviously going to expand in size, is really the envy of the pure-blood aristocracy.

After that, Luke withdrew his hand and looked at the Malfoy trio, who had not yet fully recovered their senses.

"You're Draco Malfoy?" Luke asked, with some scrutiny.

Malfoy finally came to his senses when his name was called, his pale face turning crimson with blood and anger.

"That's right! I'm Malfoy! How dare you attack me! You're finished! My dad is a Hogwarts reen! You're just waiting to be dropped out of school! ”

Luke looked at Malfoy's face and was a little surprised. This guy's body doesn't look very healthy. It's like this, and it's still a faint red. Qi and blood are not abundant, well, you should eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates and the like.

As for Malfoy's threat, Luke should listen to a joke.

"I thought the Malfoy kids would be so proud. I didn't expect it to be just a thief who bullied few people with more people. ”
