The celebration of Halloween actually arrived a little earlier than everyone thought.

After all, they don't have many holidays, and Halloween is the first holiday worth celebrating since the beginning of school. Plus the legend of the Halloween party of previous years. And then there's the students who are getting closer this year. Their expectations for a party have reached a peak.

In addition, when there is no mobile phone to play, everyone is still willing to spend time with their good friends to spend a party together.

"Will there be a prom again this year?"

"You still want to dance with people in a skull coat?"

"She's wearing a ghoul suit, too!"

Luke listened to the words of the two senior students, and for a moment did not know what kind of expression to give.

Ghoul suit, skeleton coat......

It can only be said that wizards really know how to play.

"Cut—"

A disdainful voice reached Luke's ears, and when he turned his head to see that it was Malfoy, who had obviously heard the words from there, but was rather dismissive of such an activity.

Is that a funny ball a ball? What is a ball without expensive dresses, elegant music, and elegant dance?

"How's it going?"

Luke didn't give him time to continue taunting, this guy is good everywhere, but he always thinks highly of himself, and under Luke's influence, he can already do it not be as obvious as in front of people. But the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and there is still a way to go if he really wants to make him a comrade worthy of trust, rather than a playmate who comes together for fun.

But fortunately, we are already on the right track, and if nothing else, the rest is only a matter of time.

Seeing Luke's solemn expression, Malfoy did not continue to be funny, but said to Luke with the same seriousness: "It has been found out, the students of the aristocratic family basically have it, and the defense is okay." Don't worry, what I did was quite hidden, and according to your instructions, I was looking for junior ones, and I didn't arouse the suspicion of others. ”

Luke nodded, he didn't doubt Malfoy's ability to do things, although this person must have such and such shortcomings, but this little thing can definitely be done well.

"How many people said yes?"

"4 pcs. They are all more representative, like Ernie McMillan. ”

"Well, well done, Malfoy, I knew you could do it!"

Luke's praise made Malfoy happy from the bottom of his heart. He has been praised by others since he was a child, and there are even many people who have blown him up as an angel who was born only and has no one on earth. But those people brag about him to hold his father's feet. I don't really think he's good.

But Luke's side is different, he is really praising himself with his heart, and he really thinks he is great.

"When it comes to crunch time, I'll step up first and then Ernie and they'll follow. Originally, I was thinking of finding two representatives in Gryffindor...... But ......"

As soon as Malfoy's face showed a hint of sarcasm, he was replaced helplessly.

Not kidding, at the beginning, he had a natural hostility towards Gryffindor, and he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, which made him too subjective about many of Gryffindor's ideas.

By the time Luke had given him a closer look, his inexplicable hostility had cleared up a lot, and he was even able to talk to Harry for a few days these days.

Some hostility itself arises from insufficient communication. If it was really that kind of deep hatred that couldn't be dissolved, it was impossible for Luke to forcibly change it.

"There are not many people who have anything like it, and the four brothers of the Wesley family who should have been there are naturally. But none of them ...... Some of them don't quite fit the conditions you said. ”

Luke smiled and patted Malfoy on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll just solve it." ”

Malfoy looked at Luke's reassuring smile, and nodded earnestly.

"By the way, I saw Taylor on the way here. She asked me to call you over. ”

Malfoy seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly spoke to Luke.

Luke looked at him and said with some amusement, "Don't you think Taylor is a weirdo now?" ”

Malfoy rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay to be unfamiliar at first, isn't it okay for an unfamiliar person to look at Taylor, isn't it similar to looking at a weirdo?" ”

It's not a lie, Taylor has a withdrawn personality, and in addition to talking to Hermione and Luke, he is only actively speaking in Potions class. In addition, I cover almost half of my face with bangs all day long. The whole person looked gloomy and hesitant, and the whole person was quiet like a ghost......

No, the ghosts are more noisy than her.

"By the way, Luke......" Malfoy asked, looking at Luke with a look of expectation, "Can you ask Professor McGonagall how we're planning to do this year's Halloween party?" ”

His face was full of anticipation, and it was no secret that Professor McGonagall was running this year's Halloween party. In fact, every year the Halloween party is in charge of a different professor. So the professors can roll up one by one. At the very least, there is something new.

"Maybe a few of the more famous bands?"

Luke is only guessing, after all, the depiction of Halloween in the original book is not very lively. Or maybe everyone will have fun after dinner? But before the dinner was over, there was no fun to watch.

He didn't tell Malfoy, no matter what kind of excitement it was, but he was afraid that this year's Halloween Eve would not be seen.

Because there is greater liveliness.

"Alright, I'll go see Taylor first, I remember this morning's class was Charms. Don't be late. ”

With that, he walked towards the door of the lounge.

Malfoy frowned as he looked at Luke's back as he left, but didn't say anything and went back to get his textbook.

……

The sun was shining brightly and illuminating the entire forest, and the castle in the middle of the forest did not look gloomy.

"With blood on our lips and scars on our bodies, we embrace sinful souls in the darkness......"

A mature female voice, with a childlike tune, sings some gloomy lyrics.

"Fluttering!"

The sound of flapping wings came from outside the window, followed by a 'tuk-tuk' knock on the window.

The black raven tapped the open window with its beak, as if knocking on the door to inform the owner of the room before entering the room.

"Come in."

The lazy and charming voice makes it unforgettable after listening to it once.

Without hesitation, Raven flew into the room and stopped on the shelf in front of the desk.

Looking up, he looked up at the woman with long bright red hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a tear mole in the corner of her eye.

And on the shelf, there is another raven like him.

The two ravens looked at each other for a moment, but the well water did not interfere with the river water.

After a while, the quill in the woman's hand stopped, and she casually put it down, then picked up the paper on the table, looked at it carefully, nodded, and then rolled the paper into a cylinder and stuffed it into the tube at her feet.

Then the raven nodded, jumped off the shelf, landed on the ground, and then walked to the open space in front of the window, flapped its wings, and flew out of the window. Fly into the distance.

"Hmm~"

The woman stretched her waist and showed off her beautiful curves. There is always an elegant and charming smile on the corner of his mouth. Unfortunately, no one else had the opportunity to watch such a scene except the raven.

But the relief was only for a moment, and she quickly returned to her work again, reaching out and taking the note from Raven's letterbox.

After unfolding it, she glanced at it, and her brow instantly furrowed.

The bright pretty face has a solemn expression. His eyes were full of surprise and suspicion.

She read the message on the note over and over again.

"Assault on Hogwarts? Whose madman is this? The remnants of the Death Eaters? Or is it the remnant of the saints? ”

She couldn't help but muttered to herself and said suspiciously.

But just as she was thinking about the various things behind this matter, and other problems that might arise, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

Her voice instantly turned cold.

The door opened, and a tall, scarred wizard with a scar on his face dragged a goblin in.

"My lord! My lord! I didn't betray you! I'm just here to gather more information! ”

The goblin began to struggle frantically the moment he saw the woman, pleading.

The woman turned and looked at the goblin.

"Your Excellency, you believe me, please believe me! I've found a gathering place for the saints! We can ......."

But before he could finish his sentence, he saw the slender wand, and the green dot that flickered at the tip of the wand.

"For the greater good!

！ ”

He shouted, his eyes full of fanaticism and adoration.

Then the green light flickered, and the elf's body fell straight to the ground, silent.

The woman didn't care, just silently returned to her place and sat down, then picked up a quill, pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote.

The tall wizard lifted the corpse from the ground, bowed to the woman, walked out of the room with steady steps, and closed the door gently.

After a few moments, the woman picked up the paper and read the command she had written again.

"Investigate who is preparing to attack Hogwarts. Investigate Hogwarts damage. Survey ......"

"Luke Gaunt."

Then she smiled and nodded, and rolled up the note as usual, and stuffed it into the letterbox.

The raven jumped off the shelf, in the clear, glanced at the woman, and left.

The woman watched the raven leave, then smiled. But he pulled out a piece of paper from his shelf again. Picked up the quill and began to write.

It's different from the cold and hard calligraphy before. This time, the handwriting looked so similar to her physiognomy. Elegant and full of charm.

After a short letter was written, she took it and thought about it for a moment, and finally rang the bell on the table twice.

An owl flew through the window, and the woman put the letter in an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to the owl.

The owl also left through the window.

Getting up and walking over to the bookshelf, her long, snow-white fingertips slid across the shelf. Ended up stuck in a book.

The Origin of Pureblood, The Nature of Magic and the Mysterious Big Four

She walked to the sling chair in the room, picked up the coffee on the table, which was already a little cold, and with a flick of her fingers, the coffee was steaming again.

She glanced at the table of contents and silently flipped the page.

"The Past and Present of the Gaunt Family"

……

"Yugadi Oleviosa!"

The spell was easily cast, but there was no relief on Luke's face.

"Excellent! Mr. Gaunt! Your spells are excellent, Sletrin's five! ”

Professor Flitwick saw that he had just assigned the task, and someone immediately completed the task, and he happily gave Luke extra points.

Hermione could have seen such a picture.

"Yugadi Oleviosa!"

The feathers fluttered, and then Hermione immediately raised her hand: "Professor! I'm done too! ”

Professor Flitwick looked over and saw that Hermione had indeed let the feathers float up, and said in surprise, "Oh! Great! Miss Granger! You did it too! It's amazing! Gryffindor plus five points! ”

Hermione smiled playfully at Luke, who was not far away.

Luke gave her a thumbs up. Hermione smiled even more.

With these two people proofing, Professor Flitwick has different expectations for the group of students in front of him.

And just as his anticipation was rising, a loud noise suddenly came from the classroom.

'Bang! ’

Everyone's eyes quickly looked in the direction where the explosion came from, and the two people on the other side were not surprised at all.

"Mr. Finigan, please be careful."

Seeing that there were no major problems with Seamus and Neville over there, Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief and extinguished most of those undeserved extravagant hopes.

Genius is still rare.

But he leaned over there anyway, after all, Seamus had already had an accident. But that doesn't mean Neville will stop.

Just in case, it's more reliable for him to guide in the near future.

Luke looked at the scene over there, and he was also quite helpless.

If Malfoy has been changed a lot by himself, Neville has not changed much. His courage is still hidden in his heart, like a turtle, he will not stick out his head and bite until he is forced to the limit.

Luke was sitting next to Harry.

Harry didn't pay much attention to Neville and Seamus's jokes, but he looked at the fluttering feathers and was really confused.

If they often saw Hermione studying in the library and practicing in the break room, then even they knew that Luke was not a diligent learner, on the contrary, he had always been lazy.

So the only way to do this is ...... Talent?

"It's demand, Harry."

As if to see his doubts, Luke explained to him with a smile: "Don't use the spell as a tool, think of him as your instinct, like seeing a glass of water in the distance, thinking not to walk over and pick it up, but to let it float over on its own." This way you will become more and more proficient in spells. ”

After saying this, Harry nodded as if he didn't understand, and Luke was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't grasp the point.

"By the way, what do you want to tell me?"

Luke asked as he looked at Harry, a little confused.
