Chapter 240: Prophecy
Luketon's footsteps were noticed by the two girls beside him
On the other side, Harry also stopped, glancing around a little strangely.
Ron beside him looked at his expression and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear anything?"
Harry asked, a little confused.
Ron looked around, then scratched the back of his head and said, "No, I didn't hear anything, did you hear it wrong?"
Harry hesitated, after all, the sound was only a whisper of Mohu.
"Possibly. I guess I misheard."
His tone changed from hesitation to certainty.
Then the two men left.
Luke didn't care, looked at the ceiling and said to the two girls beside him, "Be careful when you go out these two days...... There may be problems here lately."
In the plot, the cat is chosen first, and then Colin...... And now, with Luke's change, Luke himself is not sure which side will go wrong, and he does not rule out the possibility that Hermione or others will be targeted.
If you see something like a water surface or mirror, it's fine, but if you look at it directly, it's not a petrification problem.
Myrtle is an example...... will die directly.
Looking at Luke's serious expression, Hermione and Taylor nodded in harmony.
"Is something wrong?"
"Nothing serious...... A dangerous magical beast has haunted the school."
Luke didn't hide it, and said to the two, "It's a basilisk. I had expected someone to open the chamber and the basilisk would be awakened. That doesn't seem to be the case now. I'm not sure if there's a basilisk entrance or exit to the secret room, so be careful."
At this point, Luke suddenly remembered that in the original book, Ron imitated Harry's snake old voice.
He had an idea, could he teach Hermione and Taylor a few simple snake words? That might make them a little safer.
But just thinking about it, he quickly reacted that if he could only say a word or two, it would be okay to open the door like Ron, and if he really wanted to run into the basilisk, I am afraid it would not be of much help.
The Basilisk itself has a relatively low intelligence, which may anger the Basilisk instead.
More critically...... There's nothing to talk about. The basilisk meets humans, either dead or petrified. There is no time for communication at all.
"Don't worry too much about this, I'll take care of it."
Luke took this matter to himself, not exaggerated or arrogant, he was still very confident in this matter.
It's not like Tom will be able to come and go in the Chamber of Secrets at will, while he, a genuine descendant, will be in danger.
There is no such reason.
And he was curious about what the basilisk said. If the basilisk was just out foraging, he wouldn't have much of a reaction. But the basilisk apparently paused as it passed his place, and uttered the latter sentence. This made Luke think about it.
"Again...... Prophecy." ….
Ever since Luke began to come into contact with the outside world, he has not been disconnected from the word prophecy. From the very beginning, Taylor came to him and said that it was the guidance of prophecy. Later, the saints will kill him, and it is also said to be the guidance of prophecy.
Now the basilisk also says that he is the child of prophecy, and let him go to the secret room.
You'd better say a prophecy. Otherwise, such a prophecy would be too confusing.
There is only one prophecy about Voldemort. It would be an exaggeration to have three of them......
Although Luke said it relaxed, the expressions of Hermione and Taylor on the side did not look relaxed.
Both are top students, and both have a certain understanding of the basilisk.
Even in the hierarchy of the most dangerous magical beasts, the basilisk is the most dangerous of them all
One of those kinds. Comparable to it, only the Hungarian tree wasp among the fire dragons, Voldemort bats, and other magical animals can confront each other head-on. The other fantastic beasts are pretty much the same.
And now, there's a basilisk operating at Hogwarts, where most of the people are young wizards.
"I remember, when I first entered the school, a senior sister told me...... Hogwarts is the safest place in the UK."
Hermione's helpless face now seemed to be completely different.
Luke shrugged, "That's what people say, you just hear it. Don't take it seriously. There are many things I don't know about Hogwarts, and Dumbledore's control over the school's facilities is not absolute. There are still many mysteries in this school that have not yet been revealed."
"A place where there are many unknowns cannot be rashly characterized as 'safe, 'safe.'"
Luke never thought Hogwarts was safe, not entirely because Voldemort was going to make trouble here. It's that the schools themselves are not safe. There is a small door in the depths of the room. In the uninhabited hallway, Peeves took the secret room he found. The Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin. And the depths of the Black Lagoon, the great squid that Dumbledore had seen when he was young, and Nicol Lemay claimed to have heard of it.
This school has never been a place that has been discovered. Its mystery has only been lifted so far.
"Basilisk...... It's really dangerous, don't you need to organize it?"
Taylor said with some concern.
The basilisk is too much of a threat to the students. The ability to stare at who dies is too incomprehensible.
"I'll do my best to stop it. But there's no need to make such a big noise.
In the original book, although every student raised their vigilance, some students even went home to rest. But the incident still did not cause much casualties. Or rather, there are no dead people at all.
Taylor knew that Luke had always liked to talk about things that could be stopped 100 percent, and he would also say that his probability of success was nine out of nine.
If there is only a 90 percent chance of success, then he will say that 80 percent certainty is even less.
Now he said that he would do his best, and there was no need to make such a big noise, which means that he already had a certain idea.
Then don't worry about Taylor himself. Just trust Luke.
So Taylor and Hermione discussed their plans and walked away. After all, the task of the two of them is not simple. Lockhart, this guy does look a little unintelligent. But when it comes to whether you can continue to be famous. He's absolutely very dedicated. ….
After all, fame and fortune are also poisons, poisons that can make people addicted and change. In order to maintain his fame and fortune, no matter what Lockhart does, Taylor will not be surprised.
What the two of them want to destroy is undoubtedly the root of Lockhart. This kind of thing, even if Lockhart killed them ruthlessly, it wouldn't surprise her.
Of course, judging from the current situation, in a normal fight, she really feels that Lockhart may not be able to beat her.
Naturally, not to mention Luke.
Luke, on the other hand, was hanging far behind. Toris has grown up, and it is becoming less and less suitable to carry around casually. But fortunately, Doris's personality is not particularly active. Compared to Booker, who has no time to spare and disappears when he comes to school, Toris prefers to stay in the dormitory and bask in the sun through the black lake during the day. At night, he either slept next to Luke. Or follow Luke on a night tour.
It's okay now. If Toris grows again, grows bigger, or simply changes form, then the problem is serious. Whether she can stay in school or not is a matter of two things.
"Luke, you're looking for me?"
An ethereal voice rang out from behind Luke.
When Luke turned around, he saw Luna, and Booker, who was holding him in her arms.
Booker gave Luke a disdainful look, then rubbed it in Luna's arms.
Luke didn't bother to pay attention to the little man's cat. Instead, he said to Luna seriously, "I have something I want your help with."
He had found someone to help him contact Luna in the morning.
Luna's whereabouts are not fixed, and whether she eats in the morning or not depends purely on her mood. Luke didn't find Luna in the morning, and he didn't see her at noon, so he had to find someone to help him talk.
Fortunately, it seems that the person who brought the words did bring it.
"You say."
Luna's expression was rather unexpected, and it didn't seem to care what troublesome work Luke would arrange.
"Help me keep an eye on Ginny, there's something unclean around her that might hurt her."
Luke's words weren't too direct. Although Luna has always been a maverick. But Luke also knew that after all, Luna was still an eleven-year-old. It's just a little special, but it's a little wizard after all.
How do young wizards react when confronted with something related to Voldemort...... Obvious.
Of course, the little wizards who didn't face the murderous Death Eaters and Voldemort did quite well. Some wizards who have really experienced it are reluctant to even mention what happened back then.
You can't call out Voldemort's name, but it's not just because Voldemort's name has magical powers.
Luna was a little puzzled, "Don't you need to tell Ginny?"
"I have other plans." Luke shook his head and told Luna, and then looked at Luna seriously, "Are you going to help me?"
Luna didn't hesitate, "Of course, I don't think that's a bad thing. If something really happens, you won't watch Ginny get hurt. I'm that protection, right?"
Luna's trust and speculation were illogical. However, this situation is very much in line with Luke's perception of Luna.
"Yes, you are my protection." Luke smiled and said, "Look out for Ginny, if anything is wrong, let Booker come to me." ….
"Meow!"
Booker gave Luke a reluctant call, but both Luke and Luna understood what it meant.
"Just help. If you want to eat dried fish, you can ask for it yourself."
Luke was also not polite to Booker. Last year, he wondered if he should prepare some small dried fish or something. This year, I simply didn't prepare anything. Anyway, the little guy can get food on his own. Last year's high-end dried fish he prepared didn't move a few bites. The rest is basically thrown away.
So he simply won't buy it this year. The little guy had a bit of trouble with him for a while.
After briefly explaining the matter to Luna, Luke watched Luna jump away.
Luna has never been calm in her work, and her personality is ethereal, quiet and eccentric. What is particular about doing things is to do what you want. Luke didn't think he could make Luna obey, he could only guide Luna to something.
However, Luna does deserve Luke's trust. The two of them have an inexplicable trust in each other. This is different from the trust that Taylor gained from his prophecy and eventual heart-to-heart exchange.
Luke trusts Luna, but he mutters about the trust itself.
After seeing Luna off, Luna took a deep breath. Glancing at the ceiling, he knew that Hogwarts pipes were intricately intertwined over their heads and feet. And these pipes don't need a wizard to maintain. They are the responsibility of Hogwarts Castle itself. That's outrageous enough to say. But that's exactly what happened.
This means that no one knows what's in those pipes.
As far as Luke knew, some of the little snakes in the Forbidden Forest were able to enter and exit any room with a faucet in the school through pipes.
Like Luke's luxurious dorm with en-suite bathrooms.
And the main path of the basilisk is also in the pipeline.
"Tsk, that's a complicated place."
Luke sighed as he walked slowly in the direction of Professor McGonagall's office.
Knocked lightly on Professor McGonagall's door.
"Please come in!"
So Luke
Pushed the door open and walked in.
Professor McGonagall's room was as tidy as ever. But there are noticeable changes.
"Professor, have you added two bookcases?"
Luke walked over to the two bookcases, looked at the sorted materials inside, and said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall looked up at Luke, "Look, you'll have to clean up for me if you mess with me."
Luke made an 'OK, gesture), and then opened a book of materials and read it.
Sure enough, they were all experiments related to the formulaic derivation of Transfiguration. This journal is relatively early. The above content is obviously still in the stage of confusion, and there is no feasible way to find it.
Luke looked at it for a moment, then put the experiment log back in its place.
It's not that he's not curious. It's just that it's hard for him to put his energy into this kind of derivation experiment.
"Did the trajectory we drew at that time help you?"
"What others have, yours doesn't. Your trajectory is clear and clear, and you can see that you are learning well."
Professor McGonagall said to Luke unceremoniously. Her purpose in itself is to collect diverse information. There is no need for Luke to absorb something like this example.
"What are you looking for me?"
Professor McGonagall knew that Luke was the character of the Three Treasures. He can give you very valuable gifts, but it is too difficult to get him to play with you when he has nothing to do.
So Luke must have found himself, something must be wrong.
"Give me a note, Professor. I'm going to ***."
Luke was not polite and said his request directly.
Professor McGonagall had been writing and drawing, and had been listening. She helped her glasses.
"Reason."
Luke didn't speak, but took something out of his belt and placed it on Professor McGonagall's desk.
I don't update
