For Gemma's arrival, Luke didn't expect it.

Although he said, "I'm here, what else do I bring", he still happily reached out and took the food box in Gemma's hand.

Gemma glanced at the group of snakes scattered behind her, and suddenly had a sinister feeling that although this place was not a Longtan tiger's den, it was also a thousand sinister.

"Your home is ...... It's a bit unlivable. ”

It's not just a matter of a bunch of snakes around, snakes are a bit repulsive to wizards, but they are both magical materials and magical pets. It also has a special meaning of its own.

Therefore, although snakes are rare for wizards, they can be regarded as an understandable means of defense.

"It's too remote, and it's basically off-limits. All you have to do here is tear down the fireplace, and it'll become a fortress. ”

The fortress in Gemma's mouth is different from the fort in the traditional sense.

For wizards, wide moats, tall stone walls, towers, battlements and the like don't take much time to deal with, the difference is just one magic or multiple spells.

What really determines whether a building can become a fortress or not is the protective magic.

For example, on the outskirts of the forest, on the periphery of the forest, and around the huts, there are snakes that have clearly undergone special magical treatments or modifications.

Unable to teleport, mana suppression, control destruction, automatic counterattack......

These are the ones that Gemma saw on the way here, and I don't know how many more she can't see if she doesn't start them.

Not to mention her, even Luke himself didn't know how many kinds of protective magic there were.

But he felt that it would be difficult for anyone else who was active in the wizarding world to reach the hut unless it was Dumbledore.

"I've lived like this since I was a child, and I don't know who did these things." Luke shook his head and smiled, "I'm confused sometimes. If it weren't for the fact that all these protective magics 'knew' me, I wouldn't even dare to wander around. ”

Gemma nodded, then began to look at the interior of Luke's cabin.

Then she was a little stunned.

"Did you make such a big traceless extension for the house?"

Luke's cabin doesn't look big on the surface, but it's surprisingly large inside.

In wizarding homes, it's no surprise that there are family tents and suitcases that stretch without a trace. This is a special item that the Ministry of Magic allows the production of Traceless Extensions.

But...... Traceless extension of items other than these two items is a violation.

Things like Luke's belt, Malfoy's box, and Mr. Wesley's car, these special items that have been added to the Traceless Extension Charm are all considered illegal items in the strict sense of the word.

It's just that the first two insist on saying that they are antiques, and when they were produced, your Ministry of Magic didn't even have this law. As for Mr. Wesley's car, this is a real violation, and it's not just this one.

Therefore, many wizarding families, no matter how crowded they are, will not make a traceless extension of their house.

At most, it's just a sneaky one for your own storeroom.

And Luke's way of putting a traceless extension on his home really opened Gemma's eyes. And the Traceless Extension Spell doesn't mean that you can expand as much as you want. This thing depends on the magical fit of the material. The better the fit, the more expensive the material.

The tents and chests that are common in the wizarding world are also graded.

And with this degree of expansion of Luke's house, it's hard to imagine the price of these materials.

Luke ignored Gemma's fuss. The house itself is the least noteworthy thing about this chalet. Then Gemma will ask more and more questions, and he will be exhausted to answer them one by one.

It's good to wait a while, these so-called wonders and treasures, if you see too much, you won't take it seriously.

Now Luke still has his mind on the food box. Although he can cook himself, it is better to accept the tradition of having ready-made festive meals. After all, he should be eating these things with people for Christmas for many foreseeable years.

It's good to get used to it in advance...... Well, it's actually that he's too lazy to cook.

And just when Luke opened the food box, looked at the food box that was obviously extended without a trace, and sighed, sometimes the regulations of the Ministry of Magic are really a dead letter in the eyes of some people, Gemma's exclamations rang out one after another.

While amazed by the material of the tables, chairs and benches, I also felt the preciousness of the paintings on the wall. Sometimes she was shocked by the ancient and peculiar family magic, and sometimes she was puzzled by the tokens of some famous people she had heard in history class......

In short, after really seeing such a museum-like house, it is difficult to say whether a person's mental state will not be affected.

Especially those antiques that should be on the stand, either on the table or in the kitchen. There are very few decorations that serve as decorations, and more of them fulfill the value of their own existence.

Furniture or tableware.

It's almost the same as Luke seeing a person's home in his previous life, and he was really lighting it with the Changxin Palace lamp and drinking wine with a gold-inlaid beast head agate cup. It's hard to say if it's acceptable or not.

Looking at Gemma who had returned to him, with a slightly broken expression, Luke had a new understanding of the value of these things in his home.

Last time, Professor McGonagall was still holding on to her emotions. But Gemma doesn't have such a steady mentality. So she looks a little troubled right now.

Luke looked at her expression, laughed out loud, and then without waiting for Gemma to speak, he quickly pointed to the turkey, gingerbread and other things that he had transferred from the food box to the table and said to her, "Eat first, eat first, it won't taste good when it gets cold later." ”

As soon as Gemma came back to her senses, she saw that Luke had already had a gold-rimmed wrap in the corner of the table, and the leg of the table was engraved with the story of Galahad's search for the Holy Grail - beautifully carved, not lifelike, but in a quaint style characteristic of the era, and on the table was set up for a Christmas dinner made by the Lance family.

He even had a candle on the table. Not far from the table, there was a smaller Christmas tree where a chair should have been placed. The décor is exactly the same as in the school. Apparently Luke also conjured it up with Transfiguration.

Seeing this, Gemma didn't say anything more. Just sat down in a muffled voice and picked up a knife and fork to eat.

Knives and forks are not too rare, they are simply enchanted gold to ensure luster.

She wasn't in the mood to complain about Luke's mouth-stopping ornaments and furniture right now. With a person who has played with antiques as toys since childhood, it is difficult for you to explain the preciousness of antiques to him. With someone who has had little concept of money since childhood, it's hard to tell how hard it really is to earn money.

I simply won't talk about it.

In fact, even if it's not cold, these things are far from delicious. After all these years, Luke still had a hard time getting used to these dishes.

As she ate, Gemma suddenly remembered something.

"I mentioned it when I heard the professors discuss it before. Professor McGonagall said that you had a very bad childhood, there was no one to take care of you, and even the clothes were changed by yourself, and they didn't fit......"

Gemma pursed her lips, looked at Luke, who had a calm face, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Raymond's existence can't be known to too many people, right?" ”

With Raymond here, will Luke really lack clothes and food? Of course not. It is possible that there is a lack of magical coins such as Garon, because Raymond has only maintained the most basic contact with the wizarding world for so many years, and he has no way to exchange money.

A squib, who is almost always restricted in the wizarding world.

But the lack of food and clothing in childhood is certainly impossible. Even if these things were sent from the Muggle world, wizards could use them.

So, something is obvious.

Luke's face was the same as usual, and he nodded: "Raymond can't appear in the sight of too many people for the time being. ”

He didn't explain why, and Gemma didn't ask again.

"Are you going back tonight?"

Luke asked coldly.

Gemma looked at Luke, blinked, and then showed a charming smile, the palm of her hand supported her cheek, and her body was lazy: "Little brother, what you said will make people ambiguous~"

Luke glanced up at Gemma, swallowed the turkey meat in his mouth, and said, "If you go back, just use the fireplace, if you don't go back, the first room on the second floor stairs is the guest room." You can stay first. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said to Gemma: "Young man, don't be so pretentious, seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, you can't do such a charming expression." ”

Gemma was embarrassed when he said this, but she subconsciously returned to her original state. Then Gemma gave Luke a big roll of the eyes: "It's like how old you are, old-fashioned." ”

Then he began to eat.

Luke looked at Gemma and shook his head. He is sometimes easily affected by the memories of his previous life......

The meal was simply finished, and although Luke lit a candle, the atmosphere of a candlelit dinner could hardly be seen between an eleven-year-old boy and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman.

Under normal circumstances, the former may not think about the latter, and the latter has absolutely no evil thoughts about the former.

But when this eleven-year-old boy has a mental age of more than 20 and close to 30 years old, it is difficult to say whether the former's non-divisive thoughts about the latter are still valid.

Theoretically, it is possible. After all, everyone loves seventeen or eighteen.

After dinner, Gemma went upstairs to sleep. Luke tells her that there are enough books in her room to relieve boredom, and if she is really bored, she can go for a walk in the forest. Actually, I can't say which one is more boring, after all, the forest is not big, and except for snakes, they are basically snakes. The basic ecosystem can be said to be struggling to maintain.

And Luke, of course, doesn't have time to care about Gemma's spiritual world construction for the time being. Whether it's reading a book, taking a walk, it doesn't matter if you put all the antiques at home on the price tag. He now had to look at the thick diary that he hadn't finished reading before.

Digging into the box again and returning to the library storage room, Luke looked at the pile of diaries and sighed softly.

I don't know if he is lamenting whether his work will increase the amount or not the price, or whether he is lamenting the richness of the life experience of these Jace ancestors.

For the vast majority of people, a book, a few pages or even a few lines is enough to summarize it. Even many people can only have birth and death years in their lives.

Even if it's a diary, being able to write such a big stack is really legendary.

Although it is not known what this person has been through. Luke, however, already had an inexplicable sense of purpose. It's as if a person's voice is revealed in front of you, but are you really ready to accept him?

Luke didn't know what to answer, but in the bright magical light, he sat down at his desk and retrieved the one with the serial number '1' from the pile of diaries.

Then I looked at the cover and started to think.

If there was no news in the diary, he would have to read everything else. Includes evaluations and memoirs written to him by the heirs of Jace's ancestors.

It's even more embarrassing than a diary, especially when the two are viewed side by side.

Luckily, neither Luke nor his dad had this kind of trouble. When Luke's father didn't have it, Luke couldn't write.

Luke was seriously considering whether to abandon the family tradition when he had a child.

But now was not the time to think about it, and Luke opened his first journal as he gathered his thoughts, which were already on the verge of diverging to the edge of the universe.

"On September 23, 1373, the weather was fine"

"I, Jess Gaunt, am eight years old! O my dear juniors! Get ready to watch the life of your great ancestors! ”

Luke snapped the journal together, then held his forehead with his left hand and tapped nimbly on the table with his right hand.

Is there such a possibility that he opened it in the wrong way......

My ancestors shouldn't have been so neurotic.jpg

However, after a moment of psychological construction, he opened the diary again. According to family tradition, the diary cannot be modified, cannot be destroyed, you can write late, but you can't write it without it.

I don't know if Jace's ancestors will have an urge to change the family tradition when they see the first sentence of their first diary when they grow up.

Luke suddenly had an inexplicable expectation of the diaries of his ancestors who didn't know how many generations ago.

It's awkward and cool, and the experience is old and strange.

Patient, Luke continued to look down.

"Cloudy September 24, 1373"

"Daddy spanked me because I broke his vase...... I threw his cat raccoon dog in my three-headed dog kennel. The two of them are going to have a great night, hahaha! ”

Luke was able to sketch an outrageous bear child through the handwriting and the temperament between the lines of the diary.

He then looked down.

"September 25, 1373 Weather Rain"

"Dad beat me again, hold a grudge."

Luke:......

Otherwise, the custom of keeping a diary would be abolished.
