Chapter 155: Summer Vacation!
Summer vacation! What a beautiful thing! It's something to look forward to for students of all ages at Hogwarts.
Students who are still going to school after the summer break are immersed in the joy of upgrading and going home for the holidays. Although the seventh grade students may not enjoy the holidays, they also have the yearning to start a new journey in life.
And now, that dream is coming true. Few seventh-year wizards feel lost about the future. Because there is a constant shortage of new blood in the wizarding world, job opportunities abound.
And there is no chance to go on to further education, whether it is Hogwarts or other schools of witchcraft and wizardry, after providing five years of basic education and two years of advanced education, they will not be providing education.
The rest of the things are not taught by you, but by the students. Therefore, to further study this kind of thing, let's go to the world.
If you really want to stay in school, you can train your abilities and go back to school to become a professor in a certain major.
There won't be any graduates who want to grab Filch's job. When you think about it, our poor Mr. Filch is really not competitive at all.
"Are there any arrangements for the summer vacation?" Still not recovering from his original state, he immediately lay on the sofa in the lounge and looked at Taylor, who was reading a book next to him, and asked boredly.
"There is no arrangement, and it is likely to further develop the ability with the help of grandma. The length of time is uncertain, if you are in a hurry, I will do things with you first. Taylor looked up at Luke with a smile on his face.
The few Slytherin seniors who passed by them first looked at Luke with fond eyes, and then cast envious glances at him.
Among them, the senior students are the most conspicuous. Luke turned into little children, and they seemed more excited...... Taylor smiled and nodded in greeting, and Luke politely smiled back before throwing them a pair of rolls of the eyes as soon as they turned.
"I don't have anything to do here, the first thing I do is to go with Dumbledore to France." Luke looked at his little fat hand like white jade, and said helplessly,
"The speed of mana digestion is too slow, maybe Nicol Lemay can help, sooner or later you have to go, if you have such a need, other things are not in a hurry......"
"You don't have to follow me, if you follow me, there will be nothing to spare this holiday......" Luke didn't lie, he couldn't tell how much he had to do this holiday.
Taylor's brow furrowed, although it was not the first time that such a conversation had been held, she still couldn't understand why she couldn't let herself be involved in these things.
"However, I hope you can go play with Hermione if you have time." Luke didn't wait for Taylor to ask the question he was already familiar with, and quickly gaged Taylor's mouth with another first-time request.
"Looking for Hermione?" Taylor thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "You want me to get in touch with the real Muggle society?" ”
"If you can, you can also take Hermione with you to find Gemma. I want you to see a brand new Gemma. Luke said calmly, "Of course, you can also take Hermione to the Lance family. They will take you to experience the life of an aristocracy. ”
"It doesn't matter which choice you make. Of course, if you can, I hope you will be able to see something from it. ”
"Accept, feel, think, and output. When school starts, you tell me what you see. Luke looked at Taylor in front of him and said with a serious face: "If you ask me what my vacation arrangements are for you, then this is it." Of course, you can also choose to take a good rest at home and brush up on your 2nd grade knowledge, or consolidate your 1st grade Defense Against the Dark Arts knowledge. "There is really not much difference between taking this class and not taking it.
Even if it's just to consolidate the knowledge in the books, it's good. Taylor and Hermione are still too weak now, otherwise Luke's advice to them would not be to feel the life of the nobles, but to feel the life of the gauntlets.
If you don't know enough about the wizarding world, how can you change it. If you don't know enough about the Muggle world, how can you learn and communicate?
This was a problem they had to face from the very beginning. Taylor gave Luke a deep look, "Anyway, you still don't want us to bother you to do something, do you?" ”
"Ahem, ahem...... How so? Please maintain the most basic trust in me, Miss Barbara. Luke coughed lightly twice, and then said without blushing and breathless.
"Huh......" Taylor snorted twice. Lucton felt bad, turned over and was about to run. But before he could run a few steps on the ground, he was grabbed by Taylor.
"I warn you, Taylor, that you need basic respect for me!" Luke struggled to shout at Taylor, while secretly hating the loss of his long legs.
A mischievous smile appeared on Taylor's face.
"Then I'll have to wait until I'm done!"
"You...... Woowoo...... It's too much...... Whining...... No...... Don't pinch! ”————
"Remember to write to me."
"Oh, I don't want it." Hermione looked reluctant, and Luke looked unhappy.
"If you hadn't poked me in the stomach just now, I'd think about it...... Now, Miss Granger, you're in trouble! You're in for a big deal! Luke said angrily to the girl in front of him.
Hermione looked at him awkwardly. A smile on his face. But he didn't speak again, but hugged Taylor next to him and said, "Remember to come to my house to play." ”
"Wait for me for a while, and I'll be over soon." Taylor pressed his face against Hermione's.
Two girls who don't have any friends finally become best friends after a year of getting along. This friendship, which is precious to both of them, has been valued enough by them.
The two smart girls will not let what has already been in their hands or is about to get their hands run away from their hands in vain.
After saying that, Hermione waved at Taylor and Luke reluctantly. Head towards the exit of King's Cross Station.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger were there waiting for her return, and the whimsical and bizarre stories that awaited her.
Taylor also said goodbye to Luke, in fact, she could have gotten off the bus a long time ago, but in order to see Hermione off, she sat at the terminal.
Now, she's going to find a fireplace that's connected to Floo's network.
"There was a tavern near the station from where I could go straight home. Do not worry. Taylor said with a smile as he looked at Luke.
"Anyway, be careful on the road." Luke nodded, seriously. Seeing Taylor leave, Luke finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect you to accept such a prank." Dumbledore's voice came from a short distance behind him.
"Now that I've become like this, it's better to make the most of the benefits that this look can bring me, whether it's getting preferential treatment from others, or pleasing a few people I care about." As he spoke, Luke turned to see Dumbledore standing still in the crowd, the students around him coming and going, but none of them seemed to be able to see him.
Even those students who pass by him will always unconsciously distance themselves from him. This works......
"Did you come up with a little wizard's expulsion spell?" Luke said with a hint of teasing. But Dumbledore was very serious: "Sometimes, the naughty and noisy nature of children can be really annoying. But the spell wasn't invented by children. Luke snorted, but didn't pay much attention to it.
"Professor, what are you doing here?"
"I think we should visit Nicol right now." Dumbledore's tone was quite serious, which made Luke have some bad associations.
But after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "No, to visit an elder, I should at least prepare some gifts." And I really don't want to rush the journey, please give me a few days to prepare. Booker next to him was also helping, of course, just meowing.
Seriously, the last thing Luke wants to take a vacation is probably this little guy. After all, once he returned home, his feeder was left with Luke, an uncaring fellow.
Despite this, he still didn't leave with the more attentive Taylor or Hermione. At the end of the day, Luke is his master.
Master Booker can't imagine how lost Luke would be without himself! So even if he wants to eat bran vegetables with Luke and spend time with that annoying snake, he is willing.
"But your safety is just as important, Luke." Dumbledore's eyes were surprisingly serious, looking at Luke's subconscious look of suspicion, he said calmly,
"Trust me, as soon as you walk out of this station, there will be a lot of people staring at you and even inviting you." Moreover, there is no fireplace connected to the network of Floo in the station, and Luke himself has not learned to change shapes.
"If you insist on resting......" Dumbledore shook his head helplessly,
"I'll send you back." Luke's eyes narrowed, and he instantly felt that things were not so simple.
"Professor, first of all, I have to warn you," Luke looked at Dumbledore with suspicion,
"The old Gaunt mansion is now my property in law, and I have already notarized it with the Ministry of Magic, although they don't care about it on weekdays......"
"So if you're thinking of breaking into a house...... Although I can't stop you, if you can, you still have to think about whether it is really necessary to offend the aristocracy for this matter. "If Dumbledore can break into the old mansion of the owner, then he will dare to break into the holiday villas of other nobles, and even break into their old mansions.
A house without an owner and a house with an owner are two completely different concepts.
"Mr. Gaunt! You're suspecting your professor of coveting your possessions! Dumbledore interrupted Luke solemnly.
"I don't doubt that, Professor, property means nothing to you. But...... Some things are different......" Luke didn't know anything about the lake, and directly expressed his doubts to Dumbledore.
Jokes aside, the Potter family's invisibility cloak also stayed in Dumbledore's hands for many years, and he didn't immediately give it to Harry even when Harry first entered school.
Could it be to save a Christmas gift? So the scene was simply embarrassed for a while.
Eventually, it was Luke who spoke, "Professor, if you don't have anything else, I'll leave first." How about we meet in Godric's Hollow in three days? ”
"I'm not joking, Luke. If you walk out of the station now, you will be noticed by many well-intentioned people, and your situation will be very troublesome. Dumbledore didn't use the word danger, because Luke wouldn't be in danger.
But there will be a lot of people coming to him. Whether it's just to get acquainted with each other or to get something.
No one knew Luke's address before, so they couldn't find him, and they couldn't pry Luke's address out of the mouths of the Malfoys or the Ollivanders.
And then Luke was at Hogwarts, a place they didn't dare to make. So he lived a fairly peaceful life.
But now once you go out, all the hyenas that smell will come over. In their eyes, Luke was just a child.
Even the patriarch of a family is just a child, and there is no reliable adult around to assist him.
In their eyes, the display is a young child holding money through the city. Big fat sheep.
"Then you won't bother, Professor." Luke pulled a ring out of his pocket and smiled, "See you in three days, Professor." After speaking, he pinched the ring in his hand, and the whole person and the salute around him disappeared in place.
Dumbledore's brow furrowed.
"The Kane family?" Although it is a pity that he did not get Luke's invitation to visit his home, after all, he can't really trespass on the house.
And he really didn't expect that Luke was so wary of him.
"Do I look like a bad person?" Dumbledore muttered to himself in confusion.
"I still have to find a chance to go to his house and look for clues...... Maybe he could really find the clue to that experiment......" He was still a little excited when he thought of the experiment that he found in the book and only a few words...... It was that possibility that made him a little out of shape.
"Next time, we can plan in more detail." - Sitting on the couch, Luke picked up the glass of water that flew towards him, and after taking a sip of water, he frowned and wondered why Dumbledore was so eager to come to his house to have a look.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of anything.
"There's so little information, Dumbledore has so much information on hand. Even if it's about the Gaunt family...... "An old man who has lived for more than a hundred years, tossed around in the wizarding world for decades and is powerful, Luke can't think of how much information he has at hand.
"Then it seems that the initial refusal was a bit hasty...... Forget it, let's change the information as much as possible. After all, it was just for Dumbledore to come in and hang out...... Nothing should go wrong...... bar. Luke didn't expect that his summer vacation would be annoying at the beginning.
