Chapter 230: On the Train to School

Luke played with the small statue in his hand, a little awkward on his face.

Hagrid, who was frowning beside him, frowned tightly, watching Luke's movements, and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Hagrid, I buy this thing because I know it."

Luke put the white statue.

"It's not like a tooth, Luke." Now that Luke had spoken, Hagrid followed, "It's supposed to be a bone decay, but I really can't tell what kind of magical animal it is."

Relative to tooth withering. In the minds of wizards, bone carvings are more magical sculptures. The bones themselves are used in many magical rituals.

Bone carvings are also very important ritual materials in some primitive magical ceremonies. And such primitive magic, in a general sense, will be associated with the terms danger and black magic.

In particular, the story of this statue in the mouth of the half-fairy shopkeeper is still so mysterious and full of weirdness. Hagrid knew that in such a situation, ignoring this thing was the best option.

After all, every year, wizards die because of negligence in this kind of thing, and this kind of thing is not even news.

And isn't it a bit irresponsible to have a statue with "I'm dangerous" written on the surface and let a child take it?

Hagrid asked himself this question in his heart.

But Luke didn't care.

"Rest assured, I know...... But this stuff is important to me."

Luke looked at the statue of Medusa in his hand, it was obviously a mythical monster, but when it was placed here, his expression was surprisingly peaceful. Even with a little quiet beauty.

This makes the statue look less dangerous and gloomy, as if it were just a piece of art.

But Luke could feel the magic flowing through it. Subtle, but apparently present.

In the previous conversation with Newt, they had combined the legend of Toris and Medusa, although they didn't know what the connection was, the connection itself was almost certain to exist.

"There's something like my partner on it. There's no way I'm going to let it go."

Luke placed the statue on his belt and wiped it. But in reality, the statue is placed in the system space. He wasn't really stupid, so he could see the danger of this thing, albeit with pure illness. It's not safe to put it in the belt, so it's okay to put it in the system space. If this thing can break through the system space, it will affect itself.

Then Luke can only say that he admits it.

Hagrid saw that Luke had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything. I can only make up my mind in my heart that I must pay close attention to the state of Lloka. Luke can't be allowed to have an accident with this statue.

After all, this statue is something he brought to Griffin with Luke, and Luke will only meet it.

After a simple conversation, the two people separated. Hagrid was going back to Hogwarts, where he was home. His companions and loved ones live in the Forbidden Forest.

Luke, on the other hand, wandered around Diagon Alley with great interest. Although he had been to this street a few times, he had come in a hurry and left in a hurry.

In addition to those shops that are famous in the entire wizarding world, such as Ollivander's wand shop, there are many shops that are not very well-known, but also sell interesting things.

The bottom line of wizards is generally not high. So even in Diagon Alley, you can see that there are many people who are clearly here to sell stolen goods.

No one cares if the dark wizard dies. And some of their items can be sold for more money in Diagon Alley.

Luke walked around and didn't find anything particularly interesting. He doesn't care about the value of things. I care more about how interesting things are. Unfortunately, many wizards don't even bother to make up a funny story.

No story what products you sell!

Luke eventually went from being in high spirits to being bored.

But it wasn't long before he saw another figure.

Xenophilius Love

Goode.

This man is also well-known in the wizarding world. "Singing Contrarian" is a well-known burlesque magazine in the British wizarding world. When everyone is nervous about Xenophilius and making conspiracy theories that are so outrageous that they can't be outrageous, some people will find it very interesting, and some people will think it's all nonsense.

However, "Singing and Singing" still has a certain sales, which is enough to feed a father and daughter.

Of course, Xenophilius is not the point at all, but when he appears, it means that Luna is around here.

Luke wasn't surprised, after all, Luna was going to officially start school in a while.

And just as he began to look for Luna's traces around Xenophilius, he suddenly felt that someone had tapped him on the shoulder.

Luke looked back, his expression unchanged, but his eyes full of wariness. The wand in his hand was clenched tightly.

And then...... And he saw Luna.

"Whew, it's you."

Luke breathed a sigh of relief. The whole person also relaxed from the state of guard.

Luna tilted her head to look at Luke, "You don't have a harassing smug on you, but you look nervous."

Her words made the corners of Luke's mouth twitch twice. After all, based on his experience of being attacked by terrorists three times in the summer, if he could really do it and pat himself on the shoulder silently without any alert reaction, then he would probably have buried his bones in France or Amerik a long time ago.

But just as he was about to talk to Luna, Luke sensed something strange.

He couldn't feel Luna's emotions.

I don't feel it at all.

Although he did not open his emotional horizon, with the improvement of his ability, he was able to feel a person's basic emotions without relying on the emotional horizon.

It is natural to open up the emotional horizon to be clearer, but the kind of world full of various emotional colors is really not beautiful.

And when Luke opened his emotional horizons to look at Luna with a bad premonition, he still felt shocked after all.

Luna's side was blank.

In the surrounding bustling crowd, in the various emotional colors, this blank space is particularly eye-catching.

"You're shocked, is there anything on me?"

Luna sensed Luke's emotions and asked.

Luke opened his mouth. I suddenly remembered that when I first met Luna, I found that this little girl could read her thoughts to some extent.

But now, she shouldn't be reading minds with a similar skill like Taylor. Rather, it is possible, like yourself, to be able to feel the emotions of others. Not an intuition, but a special ability.

Think back to the movies I watched back then. Wearing a pair of glasses, he was able to see strange things on Harry's body through the invisibility cloak. It can only be said that this little girl herself is a little wrong.

"Something's wrong. But I don't know why. In short, for now, you are different from everyone else."

Luke weighed his judgment.

And when Luna heard this, she smiled happily, "Really? That's great."

Obviously, Luke's assessment didn't make Luna feel panicked, and she didn't care if she would be different from the people around her. It's better to say that it's different. If she was as cookie-cutter as everyone else, how boring her world would be!

Luke felt that what he meant was completely different from what Luna understood. But he shook his head anyway, "I can't say it, I'll have to go back and check the information and ask some people who might know." I'll tell you when I come up with a relatively reliable answer."

Luke's instincts told him that emotional control, a talent that belonged to Godric Gryffindor, had a lot to do with Luna's anomaly. But given that his current understanding of the background of emotional control is only scratching the surface, he still has to go back and think about it.

"Daddy is calling me. Let's see you at school."

Luna looked at it

Xenophilius, who was waving to him not far away, said to Luke and hurriedly walked in the direction of his father.

From this point of view, the father and daughter of the Lovegood family are no different from normal father and daughter. It's just that when the two of them are chatting together, they talk a little weirdly.

Luke looked at Luna's back, his smile fading.

Luna has a problem, and if it is related to emotional control, it may be related to Gryffindor as a person. Naturally, it has something to do with Gryffindor's legacy.

Meddlesome......

Luke couldn't help but smile as he finally found a new breaking point for that damn note after a summer of confusion.

………………

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. It's September 1st.

Luke packed his bags and was about to head to Hogwarts, where he was studying, again. It has been called "the safest place in the UK except Gringotts", and after the attack on Gringotts last year, it became "the safest place in the UK".

However, in fact, anyone who really knows something about this school knows that this school really has nothing to do with safety, especially in the past few years. Because the "Savior" started his study life at Hogwarts, and this identity also attracted the attention of many people. There is no lack of malice among them.

And Luke Gaunt, as another heavyweight who came out of nowhere last summer, also made more people's attention focus on the second year of Hogwarts.

Luke arrived at King's Cross on time and found a car to sit down at 11:30.

It didn't take long for Taylor to find Luke, approach the car, and hand his luggage to Luke. Luke uses Slytherin's wand to make the luggage fly to the luggage rack. After the two of them were done, they chatted in the carriage with or without a ride.

It didn't take long for Hermione to walk in.

Compared with the original Hermione, Hermione here can be said to have changed her image. The originally scattered hair was regularized, and the hair that was originally open and clawed became extremely docile. It also makes Hermione's head look less scruffy.

The front teeth that were a little protruding were also shortened, and as for the other teeth, because of the dentist's father, Hermione's teeth were still very neat, and there was no horizontal or vertical or stilted legs. After the shortcomings of the front teeth were perfected, Hermione's smile was clearly a little prettier.

The dress on his body is not too entangled in the tradition of wizards. She wore clothes that more closely resembled Muggle school uniforms. It's just that a new little wizard's robe is put on the outside.

Over-the-knee stockings and brown boots also add to the girl's beauty.

At least in Luke's eyes, that's clearly a plus.

The girl looked at Luke's slightly distracted expression, and there was a smug look on her face. But it quickly converged. The black cat she was holding in her arms, which had grown a lot bigger, jumped out the moment she saw Luke.

Then he stood firmly above Luke's head.

Luke angrily pinched the back of Booker's neck, weighed the weight, and said, "It seems that you had a good summer vacation."

"Meow~"

Booker licked his paws as he glanced at Luke, the disdain in his eyes completely undisguised. The shoveler in front of him is obviously his own master, but he has entrusted himself to a few girls all summer vacation. I don't even take myself with myself when I go out to play.

Luke didn't bother to pay attention to the little guy who was angry with him, and after holding the cat in his arms, he chatted with Hermione as well.

Hermione was very interested in chatting and saved up a summer vacation question. There are many problems that cannot be explained by letter.

So the two of them had a relatively in-depth discussion on mathematics.

Taylor listened with great interest at first, until she reached the door, bought a small snack, and turned her head again to find that she could not understand what the two men were saying.

The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and when the train was about to leave, the two girls also hurriedly opened the door of the carriage.

And the moment she opened the door, the red-haired little girl noticed that there was someone in the carriage and was ready to leave.

But when she looked closely, she found that except for the boy, she knew the other two people.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to pull the friends he just met to find his two sisters.

But what she didn't expect was that a black shadow burst out like lightning in front of her. She subconsciously made a defensive posture. But the shadow was rushing in the direction of his new acquaintance.

"Long time no see. Booker...... You're fat."

Luna hugged the cat, who was much, much fatter than last year, with a surging, emotionless smile on her face.

"Meow!"

Booker shouted dissatisfiedly, can you not hold on to your weight!

Booker's reaction left both Hermione and Taylor a little confused. Then they saw the smile on Luke's face.

"Come and sit here. The train is about to leave. It should be similar elsewhere."

Luna listened to him and sat down beside Luke without hesitation.

And the two girls opposite Luke both cut down this good-looking, unique temperament, and extraordinarily ethereal girl.

Luke didn't care about the girls' gaze, but looked at the red-haired girl over there.

"You're Ginny. I've heard George and Fred talk about you. Sit down. I'm Luke Gaunt, and you've probably heard of me."
