Just because Luke didn't open the letter in the first place doesn't mean he doesn't care about it. On the contrary, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Luke thinks that there is absolutely something wrong with this letter, even if it is not so careful.

So he chose to open the letter in an empty classroom before he finished eating, but before class started. This empty classroom looks unremarkable, but it is the closest classroom to the principal's office. Although Luke did not dare to go directly to the principal's office to open the letter. But if he opened it here, even if there was any danger, he was confident that he would be able to stop the first wave, and then Dumbledore, the guy who could apparilate in the school, would definitely be the first to arrive.

And if Dumbledore can't get there, it means that although it is dangerous, the matter is still within the scope of Luke's solution.

No matter what, it's not a loss.

And Luke also asked Tyler to go to the office early, and although he might have revealed his purpose, Luke wouldn't let the stupid accident of 'Dumbledore just isn't there' happen.

If you want to risk your own life, you must make all preparations in advance.

Luke took Doriss out of his arms and let her watch from the edge of the room.

Toris looked worried, but Luke had already given the order, and she couldn't disobey. So he could only climb to the corner of the classroom step by step, ready to rush to Luke's side at any time and advance and retreat with him.

Luke was impressed, but things had to go on.

So he picked up the letter, took a deep breath, took out a paper cutter, and let it turn around his fingertips quite elegantly to relieve his nervousness.

After that, the hand fell and the envelope was opened.

Nothing happened.

Luke took a half-breath, then pulled out the letter with a paper cutter.

An ordinary piece of paper, this was Luke's first impression of this thing. And when he used the levitation technique to get it closer, he realized that his first impression was not wrong.

He's just an ordinary piece of paper.

But when Luke's attention was focused on the contents of the letter, he froze for a moment, and then his face sank.

He looked at the letter, not angry, but not lacking in surprise and confusion.

But it didn't take long for him to put the letter away. Took a deep breath.

Toris returned to Luke's side as soon as she saw that nothing had happened, although she couldn't read the contents of the letter, but when Luke looked at the letter with a solemn expression, she also made an offensive posture towards the letter.

Always ready to tear that letter to shreds.

Luke touched Doris's little head to comfort the little one, and then ruthlessly stuffed Doris's pocket again, completely ignoring Doris's protests.

"Is there anything wrong with the letter?"

Taylor looked at Luke as he walked out of the classroom, his face was not very good, so he asked with some concern.

"I've been told a letter of the attack we're going to encounter."

Luke's face was much more subdued, but there was still a little afterglow of facing a great enemy.

Taylor also frowned when he heard this. Luke had told her that there might be an attack on Halloween night. However, he didn't know the intensity of the attack, but it was probably a dangerous magical beast attack. It's also a more conventional way of attacking.

But the place of the attack was not a regular one.

Wouldn't anyone who dared to attack Hogwarts plan carefully? If such a plan is leaked, it may also be a trap for the other party. Moreover, the authenticity of this information is uncertain. Maybe it's a deliberate effort to let them let their guard down. But why was the letter sent to Luke? Wouldn't it be okay to give it to any professor, or just to Dumbledore? And also......

Seeing that Taylor's expression was becoming more and more solemn, and even a little towards a gloomy direction, Luke guessed that Taylor was thinking a little too much.

"I wasn't surprised that the planning wasn't so thorough. It is not normal for two mentally abnormal people to be able to come up with a seamless plan. ”

Luke hurriedly spoke out with relief: "So this letter is most likely not a trap, the two of them...... Seriously, I don't think it's strange to do anything. ”

After all, even if there is only one troll, even if it is two people with a big plan, it is good for people to not know where to complain.

"But how did the other party know about me...... This is a point that really needs to be thought about. ”

Luke's face was ugly at first, and this question was one of the reasons. As for the other reasons...... Who is the sender of this letter? Luke didn't think it was simple, the person who helped Voldemort with Fantastic Beasts was the sender.

Such a glove can detect your own movements? How can it be!

So there must be an organization behind this. A deeply hidden, but frighteningly wide organization.

Is it a saint?

Luke's first instinct was to be loyal to Gellert Grindelwald. But after Grindelwald entered Newmongard, they rarely appeared.

After thinking about it, Luke decided not to think about it yet. There is so little information at hand that no matter how much you think about it, you can't get any accurate answers.

Moreover, even if it was an organization that had never appeared in the original book, he would not find it so unusual. Let's not tell the story in the original book, and cling to the British one-third of an acre. Even if it is a British organization, it will not be only two Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix. Just because the rest haven't played doesn't mean they don't exist.

However, judging from the current situation, the other party should have no ill will towards him, otherwise he would not have surfaced so easily.

"Luke, ...... the hell you're going to attack us?"

"It's a mystery man."

Luke didn't hide it either, and told Taylor his answer. But because he was a little closer to Tom now, and the timing was more sensitive, he still changed "Voldemort" or "Tom" to "mystery man" from his heart.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's mainly that I'm unwilling to take such unnecessary risks.

Luke could clearly see that Taylor's mood changed from shock to anger to hatred to calm.

This made him appreciate and feel quite emotional at the same time. It's not scary to have hatred, but it's the hardest thing to keep calm in the midst of hatred.

"I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would lose control of your emotions. But it looks like I'm underestimating you. ”

Luke smiled and touched Taylor's head.

Taylor didn't bother him, just took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, after so many years, I won't lose control so easily."

During this time of tormenting hatred, what she learned the most was patience.

"Rest assured, I've already prepared, and with this information, my preparations can go further."

Luke smiled and assured Taylor, "I'm going to let his plan fail while our plan succeeds." ”

But Taylor didn't care about Luke's assurances.

"I'm sure you can do it. But......" she looked at Luke, her eyes fixed, and the smile on her face when she saw Luke, "Dumbledore...... Does he know about it too? ”

Luke looked at Taylor's face.

The complexity of emotions was not even something that Luke could tell for a while. Prayer, hope, loss, anger, fear......

Eventually, Luke gently touched Taylor's head and said softly, "He may not know the other party's plan, but he does know that the other party exists." ”

Emotions calmed down.

The emotional dust that Luke saw turned pale in an instant, from colorful. This was the first time Luke had seen this oozing white. He knew that such a white color was definitely more than just calm.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to add 'hopeless' as a qualifier for calm.

Or...... There is no greater mourning than death.

The current Taylor may have completely died to that principal.

As soon as Luke was about to speak, Taylor shook his head.

"I know what he might have and what he might have planned. But none of that matters anymore. ”

Taylor's tone was cold, as if he was not angry.

Luke looked at her for a long time, stretched out his arms, and gave Taylor a hug.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."

Luke sincerely apologized.

Taylor looked up and looked Luke in the eye. Once again, Luke felt like he was being seen through. But this time he didn't use Occlumency.

"For the last time?" Taylor asked.

"One last time." Luke replied.

After a moment of silence, Taylor took a deep breath and said, "If you really think it's not good for me to tell me, don't say it." ”

After speaking, she looked at Luke and said solemnly, "I'm serious." ”

Luke looked at her face, let go of his hand and smiled, "Okay, but I'll think about it carefully." ”

After saying that, the two of them had a tacit understanding that they didn't mention it, and while chatting, they walked in the direction of the classroom.

……

In the afternoon, Luke walked to Professor McGonagall's office with a little confusion. Along the way, he wondered, what did he do to make the professor aware of some secrets of spiritual power?

If you think about it, it should be the last time, a step-by-step deformation operation. And that step-by-step transformation did make his spiritual power consume a huge amount. He said he didn't quite know why. But that's how it turned out.

Trying again afterwards did achieve similar results, but not as well as the one in class. This also made him more and more confused.

This time, it was Professor McGonagall who asked him some questions, and Professor McGonagall who asked him about the possible reasons behind it.

Of course, he didn't know if Professor McGonagall was able to explain. After all...... The professor may not know how to use mental power?

With that in mind, he knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

"Please come in!"

And when Luke pushed the door in. He saw something that surprised him.

Scattered manuscript paper, a blackboard full of strange words, a messy room, and Professor McGonagall lying on her desk, with messy hair and a tired look, but with a light in her eyes.

And Luke looked at all this, and inexplicably felt a little familiar.

"Luke, you're here! Come over here, help me see this thing! ”

Professor McGonagall shouted excitedly when she saw Luke come in.

Hearing this, Luke stepped forward cautiously. At every step, you should keep an eye on the foothold, so as not to step on the irregularly distributed scratch paper on the ground.

As soon as he sat down, Professor McGonagall effortlessly picked one out of the messy pile of scratch paper on the table and handed it to Luke.

Luke took the paper, and then it suddenly occurred to him where his inexplicable familiarity came from.

In his previous life, some of the scientific research experts he came into contact with were in such a state when they were doing some key experiments, and they were even a little crazier. At least Professor McGonagall knew she had to go to class. And in his previous life, he often saw in anime, movies, and games, isn't the mage's laboratory what it looks like in front of him?

"That particular Transfiguration technique you performed earlier gave me a lot of inspiration."

Professor McGonagall's words pulled Luke back from his memories to reality.

"Our normal transformation is directly catalyzed by magic, imagined in our minds, and added a strong desire to complete the transformation."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, Professor McGonagall said it simply, but it was the same as putting an elephant in the refrigerator in three steps.

If it were that simple, Transfiguration wouldn't be a difficult subject with a high failure rate.

"But the last time you did it, it dawned on me that the step-by-step transfiguration technique might be a better way to educate. So I made a new attempt、"

Professor McGonagall looked excited.

And Luke wasn't surprised that no one had come up with this approach before. The outside world has reached the nineties of the 20th century. The authority of the gods is about to be crushed to the pulp by natural science. And the wizards here are basically not much different from the wizards of the Middle Ages.

If you have to say, it's a change in your daily wear. There is also the continuous improvement of Quidditch rules. and the constant adjustment of the functions of the various departments of the Ministry of Magic.

And the rest...... Scold......

Still, Luke didn't say anything sarcastic. After all, not everyone understands that closure leads to backwardness. Especially those who think they are superior. They often have great contempt for the progress of those they despise. Until the end of the day, they reap the consequences.

Change is necessary.

"But, Luke, I don't find such an approach practical. This is because when used, this kind of transfiguration is more than twice as difficult as normal transfiguration. ”

Luke frowned when he heard this, he didn't think it was ah, and even felt that it was simpler.

But looking at the excited look on Professor McGonagall's face, he knew that this was not the end of the discovery.

"However, I eventually discovered that this kind of transformation technique, if there is the participation of mental power, the success rate will be higher! More controllability! Although I haven't found the real points and criteria yet. But Luke! Do you know what that means?! ”

Of course Luke knows.

"It means that Transfiguration can no longer rely on pure talent, and even high-end Transfiguration can be mastered with more connections. Even if there are still limitations, it will not be like the current Transfiguration, and those who do not have top talent will only learn some basics. ”
