Chapter 55: Peeves' Resistance
At dinner time, most of the students in the cafeteria still sit at their own tables in the college.
But a few people have begun to eat with their former or new friends at other tables.
The majority of these students are first-year students. Although some of the older students complained about it, it didn't stop them.
After all, even the professors didn't say anything.
Even Professor Flitwick happily greeted a student dressed as Hufflepuff as he passed by the Ravenclaw table.
Professor McGonagall smiled brightly as she watched the first-year guy in the Snake Yard make a big show at the Lion Yard table.
The students of the Badger House have no problem with this, and they welcome every friend who likes them and is kind to them.
Professor Snape was the only one who occasionally saw Mr. Harry Potter eating at the Slytherin table, with a sneer on his lips. But surprisingly, there was no reprimand.
"Luke? Luke! ”
Hearing someone call him, Luke finally came to his senses and looked at Hermione opposite in some confusion.
Hermione looked at Luke's blank face and shook her head helplessly, "What's wrong with you?" How did you get distracted from the beginning? ”
"It's nothing, it's just thinking about things."
Luke shook his head and said.
He was really thinking about things. He was now looking at the skill panel in front of him, and the newly emerging talent was quite confused.
[Talent: Emotional Control, Elementary]
Luke has always ignored his ability to sense the emotions of others. It's more instinctive for him. He has always thought that this is a small benefit brought by his two lives as a human being and a strong soul.
But when he was talking to Quirrell, or Voldemort, today, what he saw was obviously not something that could be explained by a small benefit.
Sure enough, after Luke opened the system panel, he discovered his new talent.
This surprised him and was a little confused at the same time. Although it is a good thing, this good thing still came too suddenly after all.
But there is no more description of this talent, and it is a bit difficult for him to re-enter the previous state of seeing the emotional dust around people. It felt like I didn't get the hang of it.
This made him feel a little distressed.
But after Hermione interrupted, he began to show off his mouth again.
At this time, he didn't pick anything, he sent fish and chips to his mouth, and pork knuckles were also filled into his mouth, and even looked up at the starry sky...... Ah, this no, after looking at the pair of fishes for a second, he honestly put it back.
Taylor and Hermione were chatting, unsurprisingly about Potions class.
"Taylor, what did Professor Snape leave you behind to tell you?"
Hermione asked, curiously. She was really envious at the time. Although he was also very good, even Snape didn't find fault with the potion that came out in the end. But it's definitely different from a student like Taylor who is obviously noticed by the teacher.
"He asked me to help him tidy up the herb room during the holidays, and then help him with the potions." Taylor recalled Snape's eagerness and a hint of arrogance, "He said he would try me for two weeks, and if he didn't satisfy him, then he wouldn't have to go again." ”
Hermione couldn't be envious. This is obviously a good thing to open a small stove, why can't it be his turn.
"Hermione, don't think about it, although you are great, but even if you are really as good as Taylor, I guess Snape will not give you this opportunity."
Ron ruthlessly shattered Hermione's illusion. He took a big bite of bread and said, "He's not targeting a particular student, he's targeting the entire Gryffindor." ”
"Maybe you have to get rid of me?" Harry suddenly interjected, "I really feel like he's targeting me. ”
As soon as these words came out, those who were eating and those who were not eating were silent.
"Don't say it, it's possible."
Ron said with a glare.
"But Tyler, you're really good, Snape doesn't want to mention his personality, but his ability in potions is basically unquestionable. It's top-notch. At St. Mungo's Hospital, some of his potions are also highly prized. ”
It was Neville who said this, and thanks to Taylor's timely rescue, he only recuperated in the infirmary for a while, regained his spirits, and returned.
Taylor nodded, then looked at Luke, who she had told him the first time. Luke, on the other hand, told her to study hard with Snape. If Snape is too harsh or if there's something too much for Taylor to bear, come back.
But if you can withstand the pressure of studying, it's better to study hard. The benefits to Taylor himself are simply too great.
Taylor also knew that he was just following Luke's words now, and he couldn't help him much. And if he had his own bridge, maybe Professor Snape wouldn't have been so directed at Luke.
"By the way, Neville, I heard you've been tricked by Peeves again?"
Harry asked, looking at Neville.
"That's right...... Alas, pesky Peeves! ”
Speaking of this, Neville is angry. Although there is some teasing among classmates these days, most of them have no malicious intent. After Malfoy is fooled and crippled by Luke, Neville's living conditions are significantly better than in the original books.
Peeves, on the other hand, became Neville's new lifelong enemy.
"Peeves...... It's nasty, but it's a ghost, and there's nothing ......we can do with him," Harry said.
Peeves, Hagrid's dog shook his head at the sight.
"Have you all seen Peeves?"
Luke spoke suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. Even the students who were not very close to them came to see it.
After all, Luke is also a celebrity. Or the kind of celebrity who can talk to anyone. Everyone knows him and is willing to talk to him and listen to him.
Before you know it, Luke's fans are already in the various colleges.
Although at this stage, it is still not as good as Harry.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Hermione spoke, "I've seen them all, haven't you?" ”
Luke raised an eyebrow and nodded, "I haven't seen it, Peeves, not once." I didn't even see it during the night tour. ”
"Lou! Gram when did you go on a night tour! You're breaking the school rules! ”
Hermione's treble was about to rise when she said the first word, but then she remembered that it was in the dining room, so she lowered her voice again.
Harry and Ron also looked at Luke with admiration, but they didn't expect that it had only been a week since school started, and Luke had already started the operation of the old students.
Night! What a beautiful thing!
Seeing that the crowd began to discuss the night outing, Luke fell silent again.
Peeves, are you avoiding me?
