Chapter Seventy-Six: Ding, the other party has sent you an invitation to travel at night
Early in the morning, Luke and his party were sitting in the dining room and having breakfast. This morning's class was a metamorphosis class, and they still had to cheer up.
"Ah~~~~"
After a big yawn, Luke shoved a piece of bread into his mouth and ate his breakfast in a rather lazy manner.
Thinkers
"You haven't slept well in a few days?"
Hermione asked, a little strangely and unsurprisingly.
They all knew that Luke had the ability and habit of wandering at night, so it was not uncommon for him to have no energy in the morning.
Hermione didn't mean to ask him if he slept well, but to ask him what he was doing last night. It just left Luke a little leeway. If you don't want to say action, then just deal with it.
"A little thing, I originally wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to play last night, but I suddenly got hungry halfway through, so I went to the kitchen to steal a little supper, and I was sleepy after eating, and then I was ready to go back to sleep."
"But I ran into Lady Loris, and after playing with it for a while, it was a little late."
Luke said with a face full of helplessness and resentment, as if he had a desire to fight to the death with the bastard who disturbed his sleep.
After listening to his explanation, Taylor and Hermione looked at each other and nodded, looking like they had some secret. After all, the reason for this compilation is not so perfunctory.
It's not very easy to fool these two girls who know a little bit about Luke. But after deceiving a few other children, this reason is still fine.
"Isn't it nice to have a late-night snack in the kitchen?"
Malfoy asked, with a bit of longing.
He longed for this freedom of Luke. But before, when he offered to go on a night trip with Luke, the magic spell that Luke showed him made him give up the idea of night traveling with Luke. At least not yet. At the very least, he'll have to buy an invisibility cloak.
Although after that, he began to ask for an invisibility cloak. But after all, it was a valuable thing, and if he wanted to buy it, he would have to discuss it with his father. And if his father knew that he wanted an invisibility cloak just to go on a night tour, he would definitely not buy it for him. Maybe I'll write a letter and preach.
Malfoy was naΓ―ve about some things. But he's not stupid at this kind of thing either. He knows very well that if he goes directly to his father for this kind of thing, he is asking for trouble for himself.
So when he angrily rejected his plan to travel with Luke at Hogwarts at midnight, he began to think about how he could make money.
Luke knew about Malfoy's distress, but he didn't know the cause of Malfoy's distress, and he was waiting for Malfoy's request for help.
"No, it's just a normal meal." Luke swallowed the bread, picked up the coffee in his hand, and took a long sip gracefully, "But the good thing is that sometimes you can book your breakfast with the elves. β
As he spoke, he lifted the obviously much stronger coffee in his hand upwards.
The crowd at dinner nodded. They really didn't think of that.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then they secretly made up their minds.
Breakfast was eaten very quickly.
After all, it was Professor McGonagall's class, and no one dared to be late. So after eating, I hurried to the Transfiguration classroom.
As he walked towards the classroom, Luke was tapped on the shoulder by Harry behind him.
He slowed down and walked alongside Harry and Ron.
"What's wrong?"
Luke asked.
Harry looked a little embarrassed, and Ron blushed a little. Luke didn't rush, just waited quietly.
After that, Harry said, "That's right, Luke. We also wanted to go on a night tour and ......"
He paused for a moment, as if thinking about it, and then said, "We want to ask you if you have any experience that can tell us." β
Ron gave Harry a confused look, but then at Luke, who didn't speak. It's just that the face is redder.
"Yes, there is actually not much to pay attention to." Luke said as he walked, "Just avoid Filch and the professors who occasionally come out on patrol or do other things." β
"As long as there are no violations of school rules that have been discovered. It's not a violation of school rules. β
After saying this, Luke noticed that Hermione's body stiffened, but he still restrained his desire to turn his head and retort, and continued to move forward, but he still unconsciously accelerated his pace.
Harry nodded as if he didn't understand. But his face looked very hesitant.
Finally, Ron couldn't help it.
"Luke, I was trying to ask if you could join us on a night tour tonight."
Ron whispered beside Luke. Seems very reluctant to let others hear about it.
Luke was understandable. Ron's self-esteem has always been high. The current situation is like he has no good way, and he is thinking about hugging his thighs.
And if such a request is rejected by Luke outright, it will be even more of a joke that they usually tell others how good their relationship with Luke is.
And when Luke heard this request, the expression on his face did not change at all. He had guessed it early in the morning.
"I'd love to go on a night trip with you."
Luke's words gave Ron a glimmer of hope, but an embarrassed look flashed across Harry's face.
"The next thing should be but." Harry thought helplessly.
Sure enough, they should still rely on themselves.
"But, it shouldn't work tonight, I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight." Luke reached out and smiled and pointed to his eye sockets, "I'm really lacking sleep." β
Ron looked at Luke's dark circles and nodded blankly. Luke didn't talk nonsense, looking at this eye circle, he really should have a good night's sleep.
This would also explain why Luke had to drink such strong coffee before.
"Don't hold Luke back."
Malfoy's scathing voice rang out, and Ron and Harry looked back at him with some dissatisfaction.
Goyle and Crabbe, who were beside him, saw the eyes of the two of them and immediately showed a fierce expression.
Malfoy said indifferently, "Luke was able to safely travel at night because of his illusion charm. If you two don't know the Illusion Charm or the Cloak of Invisibility, if you go together, you're adding a flaw to Luke. β
Harry didn't know how difficult the Illusion Charm was, but he could tell from Ron's surprised look that it wasn't what they were supposed to be right now.
Then it seems that Malfoy should not be talking nonsense.
If they insisted on going with Luke, they might really be dragging Luke back. This will only make it more difficult for them to accept.
"Maybe you can go to George and Fred? The two of them probably won't refuse. β
Luke said tentatively.
But Harry and Ron looked at each other and didn't respond. It's not like they haven't thought about it, but Ron seems to be more repulsed by it.
"It's okay, Luke, we can do it ourselves."
Harry said to Luke with a smile.
Luke looked at him seriously with a little lost expression, and could only silently pat him on the shoulder.
"I'll lend you a prop for the night. It should be helpful for you to travel at night. β
Harry looked at Luke's sincere eyes, wondering what it was useful, but nodded anyway.
"Thank you."
"We are friends, and you help me, and I help you."
After that, the group stopped talking and walked quickly into the classroom.
Professor McGonagall was already standing on the podium waiting for them.
Taylor looked up at the professor, then leaned into Luke's ear and whispered, "The professors don't seem to have a good rest these days." β
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
"Maybe there's something bothering you."
Hearing this, Taylor gave Luke an angry look. Then he looked at the props on the table.
Their learning task has progressed to the next step, and they now have to use the wood on the table to conjure up a vase with a ceramic texture.
It's definitely hard.
"Alright, continue with what you didn't finish in the previous lesson, kids."
Professor McGonagall's voice was as serious as ever, but she could feel the tiredness hidden in it. Everyone looked at Professor McGonagall with a hint of concern.
Professor McGonagall naturally sensed the students' gaze, but instead of showing her exhaustion, she was struggling.
"Luke, you're still practicing freely."
So everyone's eyes were focused on Luke again.
For so many days, this guy Luke has been doing whatever he wants in Charms class, Transfiguration class.
The teachers said he was almost finishing the first grade.
It's really people who have to die more than people.
At first, Hermione had the idea of fighting Luke. But then he didn't see Luke as an opponent altogether.
It's all frustration and no sense of accomplishment.
Luke nodded at the professor and began to try to turn the piece of wood on the table into a cat.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but nod her head as she watched the students' movements, even if Luke was excluded, the talent of this group of students was not bad. Of course, with Luke's motivation, it was clear that they were working harder than they had been a few years before them.
Moreover, more than first-year students, after the exchanges between various colleges began, students in other grades did not simply put the role models of learning in their own colleges.
As she knew, some of the Ravenclaw students were now starting to think that Percy was good at learning.
Thinking of this, she felt a deep sense of relief.
As a teacher, the most satisfying thing for her is that students can consciously improve without the teacher's urging.
Even if it's just a little bit.
Then, after all, she couldn't help but yawn.
They've been really busy these days. Every night they patrol around the Forbidden Forest to investigate. Although they still found no trace of the two dark wizards, either of them.
And it's almost Halloween party, so start preparing and decorating in advance.
In addition, it is impossible to reduce normal schoolwork, and even because of the students' efforts and the acceleration of their learning progress, their teaching must be adjusted to a certain extent.
One thing after another fell on them, the professors.
It can only be said that the salary remains the same and the workload is doubled.
There is no price increase for the increase.
What's more, after so many years of friendship, Professor McGonagall instinctively realized that Dumbledore definitely knew something. He's always been secretive these days.
And Luke, the little bastard. Although he pretended to be innocent. But can you pretend to be very serious in front of others, and it will be very perfunctory to yourself.
I don't know how to tell myself, is there definitely his shadow behind this matter?
I don't know where this kid got so much trust in himself.
Thinking so, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but glare at Luke.
Luke, who was sorting out his thoughts, suddenly sneezed.
"Got a cold?"
Taylor asked with concern.
"No, just a good idea. Although a bit of a trick. β
Luke didn't pay attention to the sneeze, but waved his wand and said, "I might be able to try to turn this piece of wood into a cat sculpture first." β
"Then get the cat moving."
"It feels easier to disassemble."
As he spoke, with the wave of Luke's wand, the piece of wood on his desk slowly turned into a large cat sculpture.
The cat looked exactly like Booker, but looked a little more languid.
At least Taylor didn't remember seeing such a look on Booker's body.
"By the way, have you seen Booker these days?"
Luke looked at his masterpiece and suddenly asked with a little pain.
He still felt that Neville's owner of the Blessing Pit was often missing after all. Only at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester will appear.
But Luke now thinks Booker might as well be Rifle...... After all, Laifu won't find anyone else to eat. But Booker will ......
Isn't this a ......
"I remember seeing Booker in Professor McGonagall's office. And Qiu Zhang has also seen it there, and there is ......"
Luke heard a black line, why did Luna think she resembled Booker at that time? It's not like it at all.
"You said before, you have something to do tonight, what's the matter?"
Taylor's voice rang directly in Luke's ears.
"Need my help?"
Luke groaned and shook his head silently.
"It's a bit dangerous, so forget it. I have a magical beast egg to hatch. I'm not sure what will happen when it is born. It's best that you don't approach. β
Taylor's brow furrowed, and his cheeks puffed out slightly. Gave Luke a big roll of the eye. Then he turned his head a little angrily and turned into his own vase.
It's just that the wand is flicked a little harder, and it looks more like venting.
Luke laughed, he knew Taylor cared about him, but ......
It was a basilisk that was going to hatch after all, and Luke himself didn't know what was going to happen. Naturally, he will not let the people around him take risks with him.
Look at the hatching interface where the countdown is close to zero.
Luke's eyes were full of anticipation.
