Halloween Eve ends in a thrilling story.

Many years later, historians studying Luke Gaunt, the 'Shining One' of history, tend to use what happened in this auditorium as the starting point of the legend.

Of course, there are also some historians who believe that the starting point of his story is in that inconspicuous forest. And everything after he got out of the forest was in his plan.

Such a debate took place hundreds of years later, but it is a story for later.

Luke doesn't know what people will say about today in the hundreds of years. But he knew that tomorrow a lot of people would come to him and ask him a lot of questions. And I have a lot of doubts to find answers.

Luckily for him, though, he had a chance to sleep before facing those tricky people and problems. Get a good night's sleep. Leave aside the hustle and bustle of the students.

He knew that if he celebrated with them now, he would undoubtedly receive more praise, and if he could say two words, he would gain more people's hearts.

But he knew very well that he was too young, and there was no need to do things so thoroughly.

It is impossible for the adult mind to completely resist the 11-year-old body, and the feedback brought by the body to emotions and personality is not something that a mature mind can overcome by saying that it can be overcome.

Before falling asleep, Luke thinks about these things, thinks about the relationship between emotions and the physiological reactions of his body, and thinks about what he will face tomorrow. But all of them are just scratching the surface.

As if passing through a black door, Luke saw a familiar scene.

It's a valley, and a thick fog envelops everything here. I can't see the road ahead clearly, and I can't see the way back. Just as Luke hesitated, a winding bluestone path appeared at his feet, zigzag into the depths of the mist.

Luke was silent for a moment, then walked forward with a brisk step.

At the foot of the mountains on both sides, there was the sound of Tintin felling and the sound of birdsong. Luke could faintly hear a muffled singing. A nice female voice, but the tune is full of sadness.

It's like a mournful cry.

He seemed to really hear someone crying.

The lightness on Luke's face gradually subsided, but it didn't become heavy, just calm.

The valley was long and narrow, and at some point, the trees on both sides of the path had turned into low shrubs, and bulging bags of dirt appeared there. The solemn and mournful singing grew louder. It's like crying, it's like murmuring.

In front of each bag is a rudimentary cross made of two pieces of wood nailed together.

These are graves, and when you look at them from afar, you can't see the edge at a glance.

There is no first name on it, only a last name. But the surnames are inconspicuous and do not feel familiar.

Walking here, the thick fog has thinned, and in the distance, you can already see several white halls in the distance.

They are not big, and they can even be low at times.

"As a grave, it's grand enough."

Luke stopped at some point, looking at everything from afar, his face as calm as ever.

He stared at the hall for a long time, and then smiled contemptuously: "Those who are destined to be abandoned by the times, don't think about opening the coffin." ”

"If you can't change it, then wait for me to send it to the grave with my own hands, and I won't forget that I poured molten iron into the coffin."

After speaking, Luke hummed the song in a brisk tone, whether it was solemn or sad, it was suppressed by the gentleness.

"Do you hear the people sing? ）

Singing the song of angry men? ）

tomato

It is the music of a people

Who will not be slaves again! ）

Wheing of your heart

Echoes the beating of the drums

There is a life about to start

When tomorrow es. ）”

And after singing the first stanza, Luke also smiled: "It's not quite appropriate, but it's quite appropriate." ”

As he spoke, everything in front of him returned to darkness again.

The edge of the valley began to crumble the moment Luke left. But before it completely collapsed, a graceful figure appeared in the cemetery.

She wears a burgundy dress with half-rimmed glasses.

"Why is it a cemetery? Where is this again? ”

His brow furrowed slightly, then he shook his head.

"What a weird dream."

After saying that, he waved his hand and disappeared in place.

And so again, only the echoes of simple mournful singing remained.

Until the final complete disillusionment becomes nothingness.

The moon had set and sunrise, and he had opened his eyes as the morning light rippled through the waters of the Black Lake and fell into Luke's room.

Sleepy-eyed, he got up from the bed, walked to the window, looked at the scenery at the bottom of the Black Lake, and stretched a big lazy waist.

Actually, there is nothing to see. The water of the Black Lake is fairly clear. But there's nothing unusual about what's at the bottom of the lake. Aquatic weeds, fish, but also rocks and silt.

The Black Lagoon is huge, so there's no need for either a horse-shaped water monster or a giant squid to get too close to Hogwarts. They only need to move around and forage in their own one-third of an acre of land, and it is enough.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, Luke always feels something, staring at him in the depths of the lake out of sight.

Luke frowned, feeling a little strange.

"Why did you suddenly dream about what you saw in the mirror last night? Obviously, he has tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about it. ”

He muttered to himself, but could not find any answer. It's just a dream, after all. Moreover, deliberately not thinking about it is also a kind of thinking in itself.

"It's still as natural as possible in the future."

It was at this moment that he felt a cold rope wrap around his neck. He reached out and ruthlessly lifted the half-squinted Toris. Then he put it on his shoulder.

"It's fine here, don't keep wrapping it around my neck. I don't want to think it's you when someone puts a rope around my neck that day. ”

Luke angrily put aside what he had already said n times many times. But he reckoned that if he didn't get angry, the little guy wouldn't remember it. But because of this thing; Tantrums are still a little too far away.

Things are far from that level.

So Luke just yawned and turned straight to wash.

After much investigation, he discovered that his room, even in Slytherin's dormitory, was unique.

With its own bathroom, he doesn't even need to go to the public bathroom. There is also a lot of space and an ultra-luxurious bed.

When he questioned Gemma, Gemma told him that no one had lived in the room for years.

The dormitory is not an assignment for teachers, but for the castle itself. The teachers just put the list of branches under the statues of each college.

Luke doesn't find much trace of life in this room. Maybe this room is special. Luke thought about it, and could only think that it had something to do with his own bloodline. But there were no concrete clues or evidence to be found.

Neither the proof is yes or no.

If he wants to get an answer, maybe he will have to wait until the day when he can talk to the castle directly.

After tidying himself up, Luke opened the door and headed for the cafeteria.

As he passed through the lounge, everyone greeted him warmly, but as usual, no one was overly enthusiastic, and they all maintained their due reserve.

The difference is that Luke noticed that several of the seniors who were not close to him before were also actively greeting him. That's a good thing.

Walking out of Slytherin's common room, he was more confident about what he had achieved last night.

Several of the senior Gryffindor students, who used to be just nodding acquaintances, would now take the initiative to greet him, and even a few people who had always looked down on him would not pretend not to see him when they met him again.

At the very least, everyone can give each other a smile.

Of course, more importantly, the Slytherin students and the Gryffindor students are not the same as before, even if they meet each other on the road, they give each other a roll of the eye.

The atmosphere among the students has been much better. Even so good that it made Luke sigh.

"Sure enough, if you don't take a little risk, how can it have such a good effect."

Risks and opportunities coexist, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Luke sighed as he walked into the cafeteria, and then saw the twins walking straight towards him, then grabbed his shoulders and sat down nearby.

"Luke! Did you know about yesterday's events in advance? ”

George looked at Luke and asked with a puzzled expression.

Fred also looked at Luke with a puzzled expression, this question was the premise of the rest of the questions.

So they have to get the answer to that question first.

"Well, I guessed a long time ago that something was going to happen, and Halloween Eve is the best time to do it. I received a letter the other day from somewhere that I don't know and this letter allowed me to confirm my information and get more news. For example, I know the list of invading magical beasts. ”

Luke said this calmly and calmly, looking into the eyes of the twins, there was no timidity at all, or the feeling of revealing secrets.

George and Fred were silent for a moment, they seemed to get the answer they wanted, but they didn't seem to understand Luke's train of thought.

Is this kind of thing really something that can be told to someone so casually?

Luke saw their struggle, and said with a simple smile, "What are you thinking! ”

"I told Professor McGonagall about this early in the morning, and Dumbledore was all concerned about it."

"The reason why everyone was a little confused yesterday was because those magical beasts were not simple animals, their intelligence and strength were far beyond their peers, which was the reason why everyone was in a hurry for a while. It's not because I don't have enough information. ”

The twins looked at Luke's smile, and for a moment couldn't tell whether Luke's words were true or false.

Luke watched the two of them react and nodded in satisfaction. It's good, not fully believing is the best reaction.

"In short, the main purpose of giving you the ring that day was to defend yourself. I don't know exactly how the Voldemort bat will attack. But I know, as long as those two things are there. The safety of the two of you is still more than enough. ”

Luke smiled and patted the two on the shoulder.

There is no point in thinking about the rights and wrongs of these things now.

"So are these two rings a Patronus Charm?"

George looked at the ring he was hanging around his neck and swallowed. Although this thing is out of the way, the preciousness is definitely full.

Mr. Wesley doesn't eat or drink, can he afford five years' salary?

Fred removed the ring from his neck and handed it to Luke.

"There's no need."

Luke didn't even look at it and pushed him back.

"Use it first, and then lend it to you. If it's really used up, let's talk about it. ”

George and Fred looked at each other, it stands to reason that the two of them shouldn't accept this gift, but then Luke's words also made them have to accept this thing.

"Seriously, there are more and more things in the back." Luke's expression was quite grim, "This time is just the beginning, a thrilling beginning, but this does not mean that things in the future will be the same as this time." ”

"It's important to me to leave it with the two of you, so you can't be okay."

Luke's tone was one that was unmistakable at this point.

So the twins nodded subconsciously.

Luke smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it so much, we still have a long time to get along." ”

After saying that, Luke got up directly and walked forward.

He knew that there were other people who had questions to ask themselves. They probably didn't sleep last night.

Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but smile.

He was kind of expecting the other guys to look at him now.

Sure enough, when he sat in the same position he had always held, the people sitting around him had dark circles on their faces, both deep and shallow.

When he actually walked here, he put down the food on his plate and looked at Luke in unison.

Taylor was the only one still eating his own stuff, looking like he didn't care about Luke.

As soon as Luke sat down, he made a 'shhh' gesture to Gemma as she was about to speak. Then he glanced at Taylor.

Taylor understood, pulled the ball out of his pocket, and made an OK gesture towards Luke.

Now Gemma has everything in her sights, but she doesn't care about the special magic item that she took out.

Instead, he stared at Luke and asked with a serious face, "What role do you play in this?" ”

Luke looked at the bloodshot in Gemma's eyes and the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and finally smiled unkindly.
