But not everyone could see the beauty of the scene as Harry did. There was not a hint of joy on Marcus's face, who was sitting in Slytherin's place. Even the girl he liked was smiling at him. He could only reply with a stiff smile.

"You're not in the right shape today."

Beside him, a friend who was familiar with him looked at his face and said something strange.

"Isn't that right? Isn't that guy Naute's face worse yet? ”

Marcus replied casually.

The man who asked him the question had a question mark on his face.

Does the question I just asked have anything to do with the answer he gave?

However, seeing that Marcus had no desire to talk again, he stopped paying attention to this guy and took a piece of skull-shaped candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is a Halloween-limited new product at Duke Honey's candy store, Barilla Skull Candy. It's the same production concept as Bibi Duo bean, but there are a total of 100 flavors of this thing.

"Well, chocolate-flavored, good luck."

He said with a cheerful smile.

At this time, Marcus also wanted to take a piece of candy to suppress his shock. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw Luke not far away, surrounded by several girls.

As if sensing his gaze, Luke looked at him and gave him a big smile.

Marcus shuddered.

However, the hand unconsciously picked up a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

In fact, he was just a subconscious reaction here. And when the strange taste burst in his mouth, he finally reacted, and spit out the candy in his mouth.

"Whew! Slug smelly! Unlucky! ”

He whispered angrily.

The face of the friend next to him changed, and then he tentatively asked, "Nei, Marcus, how do you know what slugs smell like?" ”

"The First Evolution"

Marcus's face darkened completely.

"What are you looking at?"

Gemma observed Luke's expression as she rummaged through a large pile of candy in front of her.

Luke laughed, "It's nothing, just looking at an orangutan that I tricked me into using a banana." ”

Gemma wasn't taken by Luke's words, she followed Luke's eyes and saw Marcus, the guy he was very familiar with.

"What banana do you use?"

Gemma asked, curious.

"Broomsticks, just a few brooms."

Luke said it very lightly. But Gemma is not a fool either, and she knows with her toes that it will definitely not be a simple broomstick.

And the price of the Halo 2000 ...... She felt a little dizzy just thinking about it.

"I think I'll have to think carefully about whether or not to take over your property." Gemma half-jokingly said, "With a boss like you who spends a lot of money, I don't think my ability to make money is necessarily enough." ”

"It's time to be cautious. But even losing money is a small matter. ”

Luke said with a smile, but that was all he said without much explanation. Gemma gave him a deep look. Then he sighed in his heart about Luke's determination.

Then I felt someone gently tugging at my sleeve.

She looked over and saw that it was Luke who had been following her, the girl who didn't like to talk mysteriously.

The long bangs on her face covered her eyes, and her appearance was mostly covered. But Gemma had seen the eyes under the bangs. As long as the bangs are separated, this must be a girl who can make most boys go crazy.

Although Gemma herself said that she was a little unwilling, she still had to admit that the face she had always thought was not bad, but in front of this girl named Taylor, it was really not bad after all.

Taylor didn't care about Gemma's strange thoughts, and just silently put what he had in his hand into Gemma's hands.

Gemma looked down and saw a piece of bat-shaped black chocolate stuffed into her hand.

She snorted, then looked at Taylor with some surprise.

Taylor smiled at her.

Gemma shoved the chocolate into her mouth, then took a deep breath and quickly and gently clamped her hands on Taylor's cheek.

The emaciated face had no fleshy feeling, and then the bangs were disrupted, revealing those eyes that sparkled like stars.

"It's so sweet! Little Taylor! ”

Gemma looked at the stunned, helpless face, and for a while, she was playful, and directly pasted her face on Taylor's face, and then rubbed it.

Luke looked at the bad Gemma and the stunned Taylor in front of him, and was a little speechless for a while. The atmosphere seems to be a little better today, so everyone has let go of themselves.

It's not just Gemma and Taylor. Even Percy was eager to try and arch over to the Ravenclaw.

There are many more people, sweets, festivals, celebrations, and sure enough, they can still arouse human nature.

But Luke just calmly glanced at everyone, with a look and scrutiny hidden in his eyes.

Now he is like a king on high, looking at everyone.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if playing a silent piece of music.

Candy can't be the main dish after all, and the main purpose of tonight's party is not to socialize, so a large number of festive meals are also sent to the table.

But Luke looked at the skull-shaped cake in front of him, still speechless.

Skulls, no problem, a common decoration for wizards. There is no problem with the cake, the food that everyone often eats.

However, the cake in the shape of a skull is still a little too advanced for Luke.

But several people around him ate with relish. It made him seem a little out of place.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Taylor's voice rang in Luke's ears.

He looked over and saw that Taylor was taking a small bite of the pumpkin-shaped pudding, and he didn't move at all about the skull cake.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, I'm afraid something will happen in a while."

Luke whispered in Taylor's ear.

Taylor glanced at Luke and saw the solemnity hidden behind his relaxed smile.

So the ease on her face also subsided a lot, and she couldn't help but look at the closed door over there, and she also knew that if there was any bad news, it must have come from the gate.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense that something was wrong.

Taylor looked at the people around him, they were cheerful, cheerful to the point of a little cheerful.

"You...... Can you do it now? ”

Taylor opened her mouth, but her voice still rang in Luke's ears.

Luke didn't reply, just smiled and nodded.

Taylor took a sip of pumpkin juice to hide the gaffe on his face.

But after the glass was lowered, Taylor still had a big smile on his face.

This is good news, no doubt about it.

Harry had been keeping an eye on Luke's side.

Although he is happy now, the uneasiness in his heart has never disappeared.

Harry glanced at the location of the teachers above, and found that although there were many teachers, and there were many professors he didn't know for the time being, there were still three familiar figures missing.

"Dumbledore wouldn't have been fighting Quirrell and Snape already, would he?"

Ron leaned into Harry's ear and guessed unfoundedly.

It didn't make sense, but Harry couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"Probably not. If Luke had only told Dumbledore what had happened, then he wouldn't have to hide it from us. ”

Harry's mind was still very nimble, at least in this kind of thing, he could still react. Of course, he himself was not very sure, after all, it seemed to be the easiest way to deal with it at the moment.

"Did your expedition produce anything? Ron? ”

Fred interrupted the two men as he looked at the two men who were whispering to the side, with a smile on his face.

"You're kidding, Fred, if he really did anything, how could he not tell us until now?"

George let out a hearty laugh, which caused the crowd around him to laugh.

Seriously, although the words were sarcastic, the concern in that tone was still obvious.

In other words, they really care about their brother, but in a somewhat unique way.

Ron subconsciously wanted to show off the secret he had been holding back for a long time in front of his brothers. But when the words came to his lips, he still endured it, did not speak, but said sullenly: "It's none of your business!" ”

The others on the other side thought it was just a hard mouth, so they laughed even louder.

But the big laugh on George and Fred's faces turned into smiles. After looking at each other a little, they both noticed the worry in each other's eyes.

They all knew very well that Harry and Ron were investigating different things than the two of them were investigating at Luke's request, but in the end they were all pointing the same. And just as dangerous.

The twins looked at Ron, and the last bit of a smile faded.

"If you need help, Ron, remember to find the two of us."

Fred said in a somewhat solemn tone after a moment of silence.

George didn't speak, but he nodded heavily.

Ron looked at the expressions of his two older brothers, stunned for a moment, and then nodded blankly.

"What adventures are you doing? You guys are breaking the school rules, you know! You're going to deduct points from Gryffindor! You ......"

Percy's voice rang out, and Fred rolled his eyes.

"We're still the prefect's younger brothers, and we should set an example for the others, right? Okay, okay, don't talk about it. We all know it. ”

"Boring." George said ruthlessly.

And looked at Percy's angry and helpless expression. The crowd burst into laughter again.

Gryffindor seemed to be caught in a sea of joy.

But none of the four Wesley brothers, nor Harry himself, laughed.

They don't find it funny, only their incomprehension and doubts about each other.

The Wesley brothers, who could have maintained harmony, finally had a rift in advance.

There must be a reason for this, but I am afraid that it is more because his way of thinking is very different after all.

"George, you know why Snape ...... Didn't the Professor and Professor Quirrell come over? ”

Harry asked.

"We don't know why, but ...... Maybe you can see for yourself. ”

George said as if he had a heart, as if he had no intention of it.

Harry was stunned for a moment, then realized what they meant.

He thumped his thigh with some annoyance.

Damn, forget about this stubble. They can use the map to see the location!

So he looked at Ron, who today had the map in his custody.

Ron looked at Harry's expectant eyes, and his face instantly fell.

"In the classroom, I forgot to bring it when I changed clothes."

Harry's mouth opened, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Ron subconsciously shrunk his neck, he was ready to be trained.

And at this moment, the originally closed door was pushed open!

The original cheerful and relaxed atmosphere was shattered in an instant. As if they had been jaw-locked at the same time, everyone closed their mouths and looked at the door not far away, and Professor Quirrell who had pushed the door in.

"There are trolls! In the hallway! ”

He was out of breath and looked panicked.

There was blood on his body as well, and it didn't look like someone else's blood.

"Calm down, Professor Quirrell, it's just a troll."

Professor McGonagall spoke quickly, not so much to comfort Quirrell, but more to comfort the students who were already starting to panic.

"That's right, it's just a troll, Professor Quirrell. They're easy to deal with. ”

Hagrid had already stood up and picked up his umbrella, but as Professor McGonagall watched, he lowered his little pink umbrella and rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.

Their words, while reassuring everyone, also attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing this, the corners of Luke's mouth twitched.

If the Gryffindor Juggernaut is the future Neville Longbottom, then the Hogwarts Champion is definitely Rubeus Hagrid.

Those who don't believe can try the feeling of a fist the size of a casserole on your face.

"It's not over!"

Quirrell's sudden shout once again caught everyone's attention.

"And one more...... Voldemort ...... and the Sphinx...... Two. ”

As soon as these words came out, don't talk about Luke. Even Professor McGonagall was stunned.

Trolls are not dangerous. This thing doesn't have a lot of intelligence, and although its combat effectiveness is acceptable, it's not too easy to deal with.

But the latter two, three...... If it is not cleared, I am afraid that Hogwarts will not be able to live the next day.

"The professors followed me to check it out. Students stay where they are and don't move! ”

Professor McGonagall gave the order very decisively.

"Professor Sprout, please watch the students here. Professor Flitwick, please get to the Headmaster and Professor Snape at once, we need their help. ”

The two professors nodded in unison, having no objection to this arrangement.

Some of the students knew about these three amazing beasts, and some didn't. Some are afraid, some are answering.

Only Luke was very calm.

Then, he glanced at Marcus not far away.
