On the table is a refined and authentic French meal.

There were quite a few waiters around, and there were only three people sitting at the table.

Wearing standard dresses, they looked solemn and elegant. There are also Luke and Dumbledore, who can only be said to be formally dressed. It's not that the magic of two people can't be used to change clothes, on the contrary, the magic of changing clothes is just a very simple magic, and this kind of practical thing is basically everyone's ability. And in the same way, nature is easy to be seen.

Instead of using the kind of magic that can be seen through at a glance to save face, it is better to wear a simple dress like this, which will not be smiling and generous.

Dumbledore sat at the top of the table on the left side, and next to him was the elder Vaughan, who sat in the throne. The two of them are chatting about the stories of these years.

The identities of the two people's friends are not fake, but they are just a little rusty.

But after talking for a while, I was able to laugh. It doesn't feel the same rustiness as it did at the beginning.

On the right side of the table, Luke and the beautiful girl sat next to each other, and the two of them were very close to each other, and the girl would introduce Luke to the way to make these dishes and how to eat them.

Luke nodded as if he was very useful, learning, laughing.

He could see that this girl named Chrissy really liked cooking, and the love and professionalism that flowed between the words could not be disguised by simple disguise.

The whole restaurant looks like it's a lot of fun.

Luke and Chrissy also seem to have a good conversation, although it seems that the age difference between the two of them is like a big sister with a little brother. But that's not a bad thing. On the contrary, it seems to be a common thing in the eyes of many people. And the actual gap is not as big as it seems.

But the peace didn't last until the end of the dinner.

After the dessert is served, the map of Yan Kingdom is finally finished.

"Dumbledore, I heard from Luke just now that he used the magic in the Philosopher's Stone to get to where he is now. In other words, the bait you left behind in Gringotts is really the Philosopher's Stone? ”

Vaughan Lestrange couldn't wait. If it weren't for the previous temptations of Luke and Dumbledore to do Tai Chi and get rid of the topic, he wouldn't have been so eager.

These two people really didn't intend to understand any hints. In fact, this is an attitude in itself. But how could this make Vaughn Lystrange die?

He thought that the two of them really didn't understand, and went straight to the point.

Hearing his words, Dumbledore's face was as usual, and he nodded, "Yes, it is indeed the Philosopher's Stone."

After speaking, he stopped talking again, obviously without mentioning more.

"Then you came to France to return the Philosopher's Stone to Mr. Nicol Lemay, and by the way, to help Luke recover his body."

Vaughan Lystrange said with confidence.

After all, the Philosopher's Stone is such a precious thing, if it is given to Dumbledore easily, no one will believe it.

What's more, Dumbledore was able to lend the Philosopher's Stone for adventure, which was enough to give everyone a new understanding of the relationship between Nicol and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't speak immediately, but after taking a bite of dessert, he looked at Luke. Luke didn't show any weakness in his eyes.

'It's your trouble. ’

'No, I think it's still yours. ’

But you borrowed it. ’

But you used it badly. ’

There was so much information exchanged between the two people's eye contact, that even Dumbledore and Luke themselves were surprised. They didn't expect that the tacit understanding between them was actually quite good.

"Half and half."

Eventually, it was Luke who spoke, and it caught everyone's attention.

Luke was startled when Vaughn turned his head, and his naked eyes felt as if he wanted to swallow Luke like a philosopher's stone.

Of course, this scorching heat was only fleeting, and soon Vaughn reverted to the appearance of a respectable and kind elder.

"Oh, how do you say?"

He smiled softly, looking like a simple inquiry.

Luke recalls a smile, while Chrissy beside him looks at her grandfather with some concern.

"We're here to find Mr. Nicol Lemay, and to ask him to see how I'm doing, if there's any way to recover quickly."

"But we can't return the Philosopher's Stone."

Although this is not the whole story, the meaning expressed is clear enough...... Philosopher's Stone, something went wrong.

"Could it be the Philosopher's Stone...... Snatched up? ”

When Luke saw this, Vaughn's hand tightened involuntarily. And the emotional dust around him is even more excited.

"No, it's broken."

Luke didn't put up any dragon gate formation, because it didn't make sense.

But when he said this, he obviously felt Vaughn's expression stagnate, and the fluctuations of emotional dust were stagnant for a moment, and then instantly began to surge wildly.

Luke didn't care, but said with some regret: "So, we came this time mainly to apologize to Mr. Lemay."

After saying this, old Vaughn's face changed and changed, and finally fell silent.

The sun sets, the moon rises, and the stars shine brightly.

Chrissy said goodbye to Luke with some reluctance, but she could see a hint of relief. I feel quite mixed emotions.

Old Vaughn didn't even show up.

"I thought he would be more ...... To put it mildly. ”

Luke complained to Dumbledore a little speechless.

Dumbledore shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't look down on people's consciousness in the face of death."

He has seen too many such people, and there is a great terror between life and death. Not everyone is brave enough to face death, even at the end of their lives. As long as there is a possibility of living, almost no one will refuse.

If you live long enough, you can see any youkai.

Dumbledore lived for more than a hundred years, which was definitely not short.

"So, Professor, after this unhappy breakup, no other nobles will come to us for dinner, what are the two of us going to do in the remaining days?"

Luke looked at Dumbledore, he didn't think that Dumbledore had brought him to France early, just because he had proposed the time, or because he was waiting for a banquet like tonight.

But what exactly Dumbledore wanted to do, Luke couldn't figure out for a while.

"Don't worry, if we go to see Nicol, although you brought a gift, I didn't."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Let's go to the French trading market tomorrow."

He winked at Luke as he spoke.

Luke had to admit that he was still interested in what Dumbledore had to say. After all, there are Diagon Alley and Tumble Alley in England, and Luke is also curious about what Luke is in France.

"Speaking of which, that little girl just now seems to really mean something to you?"

Dumbledore wasn't sure, he had only met once, and that little girl would really be interested in Luke?

That sounds a little too incredible.

"Strange and not surprising. Judging by the state of old Vaughn, I don't think Chrissy will be able to make decisions about her marriage. ”

Luke shook his head with some emotion and said, "Compared with other unknown people, I don't think I'm necessarily a good choice."

Luke's words were subtle after all. His conditions themselves are very good, young, good-looking, very good family background, and on the surface, his personality is not bad.

Regardless, Luke seems like a great choice. If you can't choose one you like, then among the candidates, Luke's conditions are definitely in the first echelon.

So it's no surprise that Chrissy would have such a reaction.

"Still, she's a little weak......"

Luke still spoke with some regret. Chrissy might be content with such a life? Luke didn't know either, so he simply declined to comment.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then shook his head silently.

Obviously, I don't know what to say about such a thing.

……

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Vaughn sat in his chair and yelled at the air. The hideousness and anger on his face made the whole person look distorted, and where could he see the kind old man just now, who knew the state of making friends?

He casually threw a valuable blue and white porcelain vase beside him to the ground. Then he kicked the decorative armor over. It doesn't look like an eighty-year-old man who should be old.

But just as his anger was at its peak, his pale, glittering hair began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His hair stuck to his head like a canopy of weeds.

The whole person's sturdy body also fell down in an instant, as if someone had been hit hard in the abdomen.

Vaughn's face was full of pain, and he propped one hand on the table, struggling to pull a bottle of potion out of the drawer of his desk, and drank it down.

He sat down in his chair and closed his eyes in pain. But after a while, his body gradually returned to its original state, and the whole person also breathed a long sigh of relief.

When I opened my eyes again, two rays of light burst out of my eyes.

"This is just a imitation of something, and it already has such an effect, so how big should the real magic stone be."

"These two people deceived me with such clumsy lies, and they didn't treat me as an elder or a friend at all...... Well, although it's true that it doesn't reach that relationship. ”

Muttering to himself, Vaughn also took a deep breath, his reason had gradually returned, and there was a light of wisdom in his eyes: "Can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry, I was out of shape just now, this matter must be reversed, whether it is for the Philosopher's Stone or something else, it is not a good choice to fight these two people."

With that in mind, he shook the bell on his desk. The bell rang, and the white-haired butler pushed the door in.

"Tell Chrissy to let her take the initiative to find Luke Gaunt, if I remember correctly, it will be the time after tomorrow when Nicol Lemay's house opens. Let her invite Luke Gaunt to visit nearby attractions tomorrow. Then knock on the side to find out the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Dumbledore came to France with a small child, and it was related to the Philosopher's Stone, and Luke himself admitted that he used the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone to become what he is now, so it is naturally impossible to say that Luke has nothing to do with the Philosopher's Stone.

Dumbledore has been old for many years and his strength is among the best in the whole world, so it is a bit wishful thinking to attack him directly. But Luke was a different story. And Vaughn didn't mean to hurt Luke, just figuring out a little thing, and not breaking the rules.

"Yes."

Simply responded, and the housekeeper went out like this.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Vaughn's face was full of pain.

"I ...... I don't want to die. ”

……

In the early morning, two larks soak up the sun on the branches of the trees and sing crisply. Birds chirp and sunlight shine through the glass and curtains into a spacious bedroom. The person lying on the bed in the bedroom was completely wrapped in the quilt, tossing and turning, as if he hated the screams and the sun.

"Ahh

！ ”

Finally, she still broke through the shackles of the quilt unbearably, and sat up on the bed, her long shiny silver hair messily scattered, but it had a different kind of beauty.

The blue eyes stared fiercely at the shadows of the two larks through the curtains. Teeth clenched, looking very hateful.

The lark outside the window seemed to have a bad premonition, and flew away in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the shadow disappear, Fleur also put down the silver glowing wand in her hand and snorted. Then she took a deep breath and a smile on her face that cheered herself up.

Rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the large closet and turned up his clothes.

Next to the closet, there is a large photograph of a girl in a ballet costume that looks so shining. When she swirls there, it's like a shining star.

The whole person seems to be as beautiful as it will glow.

The girl, humming a light tune in her mouth, got dressed, walked to the dresser and began to dress up. And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a mature female voice came from outside.

"Fleur baby, it's time to get up."

Fleur Delacour smiled proudly, put down the lipstick in her hand, got up and walked to the door to open it.

Apollin Delacour looked at her daughter, who had been shining so brightly, with a look of surprise and pride.

"Ou! Fleur, you're so beautiful today! And it was up early! ”

Fleur's praise for her mother was clearly useful.

"I'm going to buy two more new clothes today, and I'm going to buy them from Reims Ready-to-Wear. It's not good, Mom~"

Fleur hugged her mother's arm and shook it gently, coquettishly to her mother.

Madame Delacour had a look of embarrassment on her face: "But we are going to give Gabrielle some new clothes today......"

"Mom~"

Fleur shook her arm a little more, and the expression on her face looked pitiful.

Madame Delacour smiled helplessly, and her finger tapped Fleur's forehead.

"I'm afraid of you, hurry up and prepare, we'll leave later."

"Yay!

！ ”
