Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seeing Through
"Luke, I really think what you're saying makes sense, we should make our own careers, like that, I really want to be a world-famous Quidditch player. I feel like I'll be able to make my family proud. ”
Marcus huddled around Luke, rambling on and on like a once-in-a-millennium confidant.
"You and you, you two's dormitory is here, let's go in." As he passed by a room, Marcus pointed to the two people in the group and let them into the room, then turned to Luke and said, "I've never been used to bullying junior students and discriminating against half-breeds, and they don't know how many great Quidditch players are half-blood wizards these days!" Do you know how many new tactics created by Muggle wizards have brought innovation to Quidditch? ”
"I've also heard that Muggles have football and basketball, and I think it's certainly not as cool as Quidley, but there's something worth learning from, isn't it?"
"You, you're alone, this dorm."
The boy he ordered didn't drag his feet either, although this guy stuck to Luke from beginning to end and refused to relax, so that everyone didn't even have a chance to come forward and answer Luke. But for the time being, he is quite responsible for his own tasks. There were about twenty rooms, and he didn't remember a single mistake, and he didn't even need to take a roll call or look at the list.
Luke was not impatient in the slightest, although Marcus was too talkative and not good-looking, but his opinion was important to Luke. Whatever the reason, the person in front of him is obviously something that can be fought for. And this person is still a member of the Flint family, and he is an object that can be fought for.
"You're right, Marcus, and it's not just Quidditch, we can learn from Muggles in many ways. And I have to admit that whether it is a half-blood wizard or a Muggle wizard, there is a very powerful, even great, existence. If we want to achieve the success we want, then we must not be hostile to them, but we should be friends with them. ”
Luke also said to Marcus quite seriously. Marcus had a big smile on his face. It makes the already big plate teeth appear three points bigger.
Malfoy listened to the words of the two of them, and really wanted to say, 'What is there to be close to a mudblooded wizard?' But thinking about what he had said at the dinner today, and the adoring glances that everyone had cast at him when he said these words, he swallowed them back into his stomach in silence.
It felt a little wrong, but it was a wonderful feeling to be in the limelight!
Just as Malfoy was indulging in this good feeling, Marcus pointed to him and Goyle beside him, and said, "You two, this room." ”
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and continued to talk to Luke as he walked.
Malfoy suddenly felt that someone was saying something bad to him, so he subconsciously wanted to get angry, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Marcus, looking at his tall and burly figure, and remembering his status as the captain of Quidditch, Malfoy decided to put up with him for a while.
So he snorted coldly and approached their dormitory with Goyle.
Luke's dormitory was actually the last one, and I don't know how it was arranged.
"What you said really makes sense, Luke, can you play Quidditch, I can go and apply to Professor Snape, let you join us early, there are many benefits to joining the team~"
When Marcus said the last sentence, he used a somewhat strange tone.
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that Marcus was a little improper.
Is he, Luke, that kind of person?!
"This, let's talk about it again."
The treatment of the Quidditch team in various houses is not as exaggerated as the treatment of the football team in American schools, but it definitely has a lot of preferential treatment.
In comparison, however, Luke had little expectation of such treatment and little interest in such a sport.
With that training time, he would rather run to the Forbidden Forest to see those magical beasts.
"Okay, if you have the chance, you must come!" Marcus smiled and said, "Your dormitory has arrived, I have to go back, you should have classes tomorrow, be careful of those stairs, it's better to get up early, so as not to be late." ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Marcus waved goodbye to Luke and disappeared around the corner.
However, Luke didn't tell Marcus that they would have no classes tomorrow morning, and that there would be a history of magic in the afternoon, with Ravenclaw. He can familiarize himself with the road in advance in the morning.
Pushing the door and approaching the dormitory, the magic lamp automatically lit up, and the slight sound of running water came to my ears. The enchanted room is dry and warm. There is a snake motif on the ceiling. Luke's luggage was also placed next to his bed.
There is only one bed in the room, and compared to the dormitory of a quadruple room, his bed can be placed freely, and the whole dormitory can be arranged like his own room.
If nothing else, he could spend seven years of his education in this room.
But if nothing else, there will be an accident......
Booker jumped out of Luke's arms, lowered himself and yawned heavily. They had walked a lot of road and energy that day, and Booker was still a kitten and was tired.
Luke smiled at Booker's movements, then stepped forward to open his box and pulled out a large cat nest from it.
Booker quietly crawled into his room, curled up, and after a while let out an even breathing sound.
Luke was brisk in packing his luggage, and although his suitcase also had a traceless expansion charm, it was not as exaggerated as Newt's in the movie. It's just a little bit more space-producing.
It took about half an hour to take out all the luggage and put it away, and Luke looked at the room in front of him with three points more affection.
Then he pulled out his wand and cast a disillusionment spell on himself.
Compared to other students who sleep in multiple dormitories, he has another advantage on the first night of school. That is, you don't have to meet your new roommates. That is, he can now move freely.
However, he was not impatient, just waited silently, and as early as the dinner party, he had thought of his plans for tonight.
In the dead of night, Luke, who had already been prepared, felt out of his dormitory and prepared to start his first night outing. But when he walked to the lounge, he found another person sitting in the lounge. It was the girl named Taylor.
This startled him, but he didn't mess up, after all, he was still confident in the effect of the illusion spell.
Just as Luke was tiptoeing forward, Taylor's crisp wind chimes suddenly sounded in his ears.
"I'm not here to stop you, I just want to ask you a few questions."
