Chapter Eighty-Nine: Foreshadowing (4k, Big Guys, Really Ask for Subscription)
In a simple but not humble room, a middle-aged man in exquisite loungewear, meticulously combed hair, and a reserved smile on his face is sitting on a sofa in front of the fireplace. This person's facial features are handsome, especially the bunch of slender lips, which raises the 'coldness' of the whole person by three points.
And in the fireplace, at this time, there was an orange-red flame, and the flame did not burn wantonly, but was forcibly condensed into the shape of a human head.
This human head is made of flames, the details are not very visible, and on the whole, the facial features are quite rough, a little less elegant, but a little more bold.
"You asked your son to test Luke Gaunt?"
The flame man's face made a muffled sound.
"It's so fierce outside, it's not just me who wants to test him." The middle-aged man on the sofa looked at him with no expression on his face, "I'm not like you, you're a natural ally of the Gunter family." After all, after the Black and Lystrange families were gone, the closest to Gaunt were the Malfoy family and your Flint family. ”
Old Flint stared at the middle-aged man for a long time, and his look was not very polite.
"That being said, but when did Nott become that rafter at the beginning?"
Old Nott heard this, and the reserved smile on his face almost dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Old Nott calmed down and said, "This family must eat." There are only idle jobs on the Ministry of Magic, and we didn't get involved in anything back then, so naturally we don't have anything now. ”
"Do you want to be a wall grass, but do you want benefits at both ends? Old Nott, you look ugly and want to be beautiful. Hahaha! ”
Old Flint laughed, and shook the chimney of the fireplace with a lot of black ash.
It seems that this kind of conversation has happened many times, so old Nott has no other expression except for a flash of helplessness and loss in his eyes.
After laughing, Flint Sr. shook his head again: "You're thinking a little too simple. ”
Old Nott frowned, but did not make a sound.
And the eyes condensed by the flames moved slightly, and said, "Those who are not successful in the Gaunt family are often scoundrels. We all know this, so I don't need to say more. ”
"And those from the Gaunt family, you have also seen them in the family information."
"Be tolerant and generous, and you will repay it. For those who have value, even if they are enemies of life and death, they are willing to take advantage of them. But once there is no use value, I don't say that I am unkind. But it's not too much. ”
"Do you think he can't see today's temptation? It's okay if there's a problem, but if there's a problem, it's the reason for him to pinch you in the future......"
At this, Flint Sr. suddenly stopped. A little surprised, he looked at old Nott. I saw that Old Nott's face seemed to be covered with a mask, but he still looked calm.
"Good fellow...... You're just sending yourself to the door? Lose your marbles? ”
Seeing that he understood, Old Nott shook his head again and said, "It's just a grass on the wall." ”
Old Flint finally understood completely: "Sure enough, your family's nature is like this......"
After speaking, he shook his head calmly and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but after all, there was no exit, just dispersed in an instant.
The flames that had been enchanted together by the magic also dispersed, and they danced freely in the fireplace again.
"If so, who would?"
A low sigh, accompanied by the crackling sound of the flames burning charcoal, echoed through the room. Like a ghost's long sigh, moaning.
Compared to the cold here, the Quidditch pitch at this time is not very lively.
At first, Luke only thought that anger could make people lose their minds, but he never expected that in the case of extreme anger, the power of the wizard's magic would increase, and this IQ would drop so much.
At this time, Leitch had already begun to bite like a mad dog. I took a bite of Nott, but it was just one of them.
Flint, Malfoy, and even Luke himself, were not spared.
Even the battle circle has expanded, at first it was one-on-one, then two-on-one, and now it's four-on-one.
But Ricky was crazy, the people he fought were not crazy, Richie dared to use those dangerous spells, they didn't have the guts. Because in the battle with classmates, if both sides use this dangerous spell, the nature will change. In the end, both sides will not be punished.
If it's just the one at the beginning and can't handle it, forget it. Now it's four to one, even if you can't win it quickly, but you won't have to fight Leitch.
So this punishment, let's let Leitch fight alone.
Luke arrived, and Malfoy floated behind him, looking a bit like a little follower.
It stands to reason that it's the game and Luke shouldn't be on the pitch. But things have gotten to such an extent that the professor should come over in a while, and Luke, the party who was scolded, should come over to take a look, or even come over to do it.
"Oliver Knott." Luke's face was not good-looking, "Today is something you picked up. Are you just standing here and watching? ”
Knott was named, his brow furrowed. The face has also become not very good-looking.
"He's scolding you, scolding your thoughts. Won't you do it with him? ”
Noether stabbed back. But to others, this doesn't sound like a big thing.
Luke just smiled, looking at the introverted Nott, he also felt a little funny.
Although the one in front of him is the sole heir of a pure-blood family. But after all, it's only the age of a high school student.
This will come forward, many to one has no face, and it seems that he is redundant. You may not be able to survive one-on-one, so do you have to exchange your life with that madman? Isn't this touching the tiles with porcelain?
Luke gave Leitch a deep look, and was about to fly over there.
Leitch is not worried, and this combat power is not exaggerated to an unacceptable degree.
Luke's magic is not inferior to the average senior student in itself. After adding an emotional bonus to yourself, the power of nature is also on a higher level.
Crucially, he doesn't add the double-edged sword buff of rage to himself.
But just as he was about to step forward to speak, his sleeve was pulled.
Luke turned his head to see that it was Malfoy.
"What's wrong?"
Luke asked, confused.
Malfoy didn't say much, just pulled out a pocket watch-like thing from his chest and handed it to Luke.
"Luke, take this thing with you, and hold on to it if something goes wrong."
Malfoy said to Luke with a serious face.
When everyone present saw this scene, although they didn't know what the specific function of this thing was, they all understood how this thing could be easily given to others?
Luke frowned, not taking the watch immediately.
Malfoy quickly explained, "This thing can form a very powerful iron armor spell that can protect your integrity. ”
As he spoke, he looked timidly at Leitch, who looked like a mad demon and was beating four people by himself.
"He's a little crazy, you better pay attention." Then he sent the pocket watch in his hand forward.
Although it can be seen that he is very reluctant, he still has a generous appearance.
The rest of the room, including Flint and Nott, were a little red-eyed.
They all had it on them, but they didn't even want to use it on a bastard like Richie, let alone give it to anyone else.
For a while, they were also thinking about whether they should have a better relationship with the little young master of the Malfoy family. After all, it really looks like ...... People are stupid and have a lot of money.
And when he thought of the words 'people are stupid and have a lot of money', the corners of Flint's mouth twitched. He suddenly reacted that his main purpose this time was to fight the autumn wind.
But now that it looks like this, let alone fighting the autumn wind, it would be good if he didn't leave a bad impression in Luke's heart.
He wanted to say something, but in front of so many people, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Luke looked at what Malfoy had given him, was silent for a moment, and then reached out and lifted Malfoy's four fingers up and pressed them. The watch was back in Malfoy's hand.
"I don't need yours, I have my own."
Luke smiled softly and spoke softly to Malfoy. After that, he looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "Everyone has it too." Remember to use it when you need to. ”
With that, he ignored the crowd and flew in the direction of Leitch.
Everyone looked at his back and felt a little complicated. After all, if they were to change positions, they thought they would never let go of Malfoy's baby.
Is there still too much of a life-saving thing?
Malfoy looked at Luke's back as he left, and was a little more moved in regret. He has many friends, but Luke is the only friend who can refuse such a big gift.
Even if Luke has no shortage of this reason, the facts are the facts.
What they didn't see was a gleam in Luke's eyes.
A moment later, Luke stopped in the path that Leitch was on his way, his fingers moving, and Reich's angry eyes regained some clarity.
The wand he waved in his hand did not fall on Luke's body after all.
"You've had enough, haven't you?" Luke had a cold face, "If you keep making trouble, what good can you do except let the professor teach you a deeper lesson?" ”
Leitch yelled at Luke: "They humiliated me! A bunch of mudbloods! Humiliate a pureblood! You are a pure-blood nobleman! Or a descendant of Slytherin! Why not help me! ”
Luke was stunned for a moment, and could only control the proportion of his anger again. It was also the first time that he felt that emotional control was useful, but it was not omnipotent.
If you really encounter such a fool, it is still easy to lose control.
Leitch gasped for breath after the roar, but didn't do it again after all. It also made everyone look a little surprised.
It looks like even a less pro-pureblood Gaunt has a big enough face for this kind of fanatical pureblood.
"What did they humiliate you?" Luke sneered, "It's pretty much the same thing that you humiliated yourself!" ”
"Like a mad dog? What else do you look like as a pureblood? The pride of pure-blooded in your eyes is to frantically chase your teammates? Is it to hurt the innocent? Is it the persecution of non-purebloods? ”
"Huh...... Are you talking about purebloods, or Death Eaters? ”
Luke looked coldly at Leitch on the other side, looking a little disgusted.
And his words also made the onlookers silent. The name Death Eater is not a good hat. It's a big trouble to get involved now.
And of course, what he said also made Leitch a little flustered. After his anger had faded a little, he remembered what he had just done, and the fool knew that something was wrong with him.
Now, if he is labeled like this again, he will be doomed.
Maybe he'll be expelled from Hogwarts.
Not every Hogwarts student who was expelled was given a decent job by the school like Hagrid.
So even if he really approved of the Death Eaters' actions, he would definitely not be able to show his feet now.
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"
He was a little frightened, and he was also very annoyed, why was he so impulsive just now!
Luke shook his head slowly, opened his mouth, and seemed to have something to say, but the next moment, they saw Luke raise his hand with lightning speed, and the wide sleeves of his coat slipped down, revealing a smooth, strong forearm, and that beautiful wand.
"Faint!"
A bright white light shot out, hitting the center of Richy's brow.
He looked struggling, but soon fell asleep.
His body slid down, but Luke was prepared, and as soon as he finished using the spell, he flew towards his position. also caught the whereabouts of Leitch in time.
Catching Leitch with the Levitation Charm, he also saw the deep exhaustion on Leitch's face.
Great joy, great sorrow, great anger, great surprise. It's a very draining emotion in itself. Now Leitch's tired appearance is indeed not surprising.
Everyone knew that this matter was almost over from the time when Leitch could listen to people under Luke's persuasion just now, instead of beating people when they saw them.
And now, it's finally over. They were also relieved.
Then he looked at Noether with dissatisfaction.
They all know who did it today.
Noether's expression remained unchanged, but his face inevitably turned much paler. He also knows that if things succeed, it will be fine, but today he is stealing chickens and rice.
Although he got Luke's words that didn't deal with the Death Eaters. But after all, there was no more. This position and attitude is not worthwhile.
Especially when his plan was exposed, he made a fuss like this, offended those half-bloods or mudblood teammates he selected, and even offended Luke, and Malfoy,
At this time, there was a commotion from the distant stands.
The crowd looked over. In the distance, I saw a bat-like figure in a black robe.
"The professor is here...... Let's see what he does. ”
Luke looked at Nott and said in a spurt.
After hearing this, Nott's face became even more ugly.
ps. Ask the elders for some subscriptions, and it's fallen a bit bit lately.
