The next day, when Luke appeared in the cafeteria, he saw that his students were stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.

Many of the classmates who usually boasted of having a good relationship immediately planned to come up to greet Luke. However, Luke only smiled at their distance, and then walked towards his usual dining table without exchanging too many pleasantries with them.

And at that dinner table, the classmates he was familiar with were basically already waiting there.

"Where have you been these days?" Hermione's eyes turned red the moment she saw Luke. When they were together before, when they knew that Luke's whereabouts were unknown, the whole person was still greatly shocked.

These days, Hermione was trying to tell herself that Luke must be fine. He was so meticulous, how could he take a great risk to do something that was likely to fail. And the cost of failure can be devastating. That's not Luke's way of doing things at all.

And it doesn't matter if Luke isn't there. She could still continue her research, and she would still stand with Taylor. And those wishes and visions of Luke will also be fulfilled by them.

The first few days were good, but after ten days of no news, Luke's whole person seemed to have evaporated from the world. Hermione could only devote all her energy and time to research.

Research, research, research. Luke had told her that when the research on the magic circuits of memory magic was complete, he would take her to a place and begin the next step of his research on the magic formula.

But by the time Hermione had finished sorting out the magic circuit of the memory magic, Luke had been missing for more than half a month.

Hermione wasn't desperate. She was a little uneasy. Not because of insecurity about Luke. But even if you are reassuring, as long as you take people to heart, you can't really turn a blind eye.

And now, out of nowhere, Luke has appeared. She still restrained herself and didn't let herself get out of control.

But at this time, the expression on his face still looked particularly awkward. It's like laughing happily, but it's like crying aggrievedly.

Originally, when they saw Luke, they were very excited, and the others who wanted to greet Luke fell silent when they saw this.

They didn't know about Luke's disappearance. They thought that Luke's disappearance this time was still the same as before. There was something he needed to deal with, so he took care of it. It's just that this time it's a little longer. And it's faintly unsettling.

However, judging from Hermione's performance now, there are still many hidden secrets in this matter that they don't know.

At least...... Luke shouldn't have just gone out to run errands this time. At the very least, it seems like a considerable risk. Otherwise Hermione wouldn't have been so excited.

Fleur on the side gently patted Hermione on the back and helped her smooth out.

At the same time, she also looked at Luke, with an inquiring look on her face. Naturally, her relationship with Luke was not very deep. Therefore, she is more concerned about where Luke has gone and what he has done.

Luke looked at the expression on Hermione's face that was crying and laughing, as well as the tired and haggard state on his face, and his heart was unbearable and soft at the same time. At the same time, he sighed secretly.

It stands to reason that Luke shouldn't talk about what he deserves or doesn't deserve at this time. But in fact, he clearly didn't do much, but he had unconsciously gained the hearts of several girls.

But it's too young, so it's a bit too immature to say that it's love. So he's always been restrained. If they, like Sephir Skye, are just running for Luke's fame, family business, and ability, then Luke can get along with him in a more natural way.

[In view of the general environment,

Being toyed with by others, naturally there is no need to take care of it everywhere, even if it is cheap, it is not necessarily who is cheap.

But if others will show their sincerity, then Luke also understands that he is categorically impossible to accept easily.

The heart is like that

Big, how can it be easily given. Accept the sincerity of others, but reciprocate with playfulness. This is not something that Luke's education has allowed him to do. In other words, to put it simply.

Luke hasn't learned how to be a scumbag. He doesn't play with other people's sincerity. So in this regard, it is also extremely cautious.

"Okay, isn't this coming back? This time it's my fault. I shouldn't have said hello to you guys in advance. It was indeed impulsive, and in hindsight, I regret it."

Luke certainly has no regrets. But such a girl, such a situation, if you don't coax it, do you still complain?

What's more, Luke did it impulsively this time. He himself thinks that the harvest is great, and there is nothing wrong with him. But for others, especially those who treat him as a treasure, he is not objectively thoughtful.

Wrong is wrong. Luke admits this, and readily accepts it.

There is nothing unpleasant about making mistakes, and there is no need to fight for a breath. Especially with these people who are also very important to themselves, that breath is nothing even if they fight.

Luke reached out and leaned down to wipe tears from the corners of Hermione's eyes.

Hermione's face flushed, and she couldn't care about any sadness or happiness. All that was left was a heavy sense of shame. But he didn't let Luke stop because he was shy. It just avoided Luke's gaze.

Ginny looked at this scene, and couldn't help but have a wave of envy in her eyes, but quickly came back to her senses and looked at Luna beside her. But what caught her eye was Luna's calm and uncaring expression. So Ginny was a little dazed and a little emotional.

George and Wesley winked at each other, and their expressions were somewhat teasing.

"I'll just say that the relationship between these two people is definitely not simple."

"I'd love to see Taylor's face right now."

Draco looked disgusted, but when he looked closely, there was still a little envy in his eyes. Especially when I think of my experience last summer, my expression is a little dark. It stands to reason that a trip to the United States is not a bad thing for him. But the fetishes of the countrymen still shocked him.

The old thing clearly had some distractions in mind about his granddaughter, and Draco didn't know or want to know if there was anything more excessive. The girl was beautiful, but it didn't quite fit his aesthetic, and it also made him dislike a little unclean.

But the follow-up incident where he was beaten by his father made him feel helpless and angry. It can also be said that really standing on Luke's side began from this.

Harry looked at the movements of the two people in front of him, and couldn't help but push Ron's shoulder, his expression full of excitement and blessing.

Ron wanted to smile too. But for some reason, his heart was empty at this time. It's like something has been snatched away.

So he subconsciously picked up a large glass of milk on the table, and then drank it all.

After calming Hermione, Luke sat down in his usual place and began to eat breakfast. Everyone was laughing and talking while eating. Luke talked about his experience during this time, telling a clue that he found a wizard ruin, and couldn't wait to find it, but encountered a little accident on the way, and was directly transported to the depths of the ruins, but fortunately, before being teleported, he still sent a message, so that everyone would not be too worried.

Naturally, this is not the case. However, Luke mixed many facts from his own experience into this fabricated story, which made the story sound extraordinarily turbulent and real.

Regarding the Chrono Tree, Luke finally decided to keep his mouth shut. Whether time is fragile or not, Luke doesn't know and doesn't know. If someone present wanted to change their regrets, and then went directly to the tree. It's hard to say whether you can travel through time, and it's not certain whether you can survive or not.

Luke was also planning to take Dumbledore with him tonight to strengthen the barrier, lest the breath of the Tree of Time and Space leak and cause a large number of magical beasts or wizards to wander around it, but it was impossible to get through because of the barrier left by Slytherin.

In short, more is better than less.

It is naturally best to nip these accidents in the bud. As for Dumbledore, who also had regrets, and even regrets for some things for the rest of his life, why didn't Luke stop him from approaching the Tree of Time.

Because Luke still has more trust in Dumbledore's self-control.

On top of that, if Dumbledore really wanted to, before he knew the premise of the existence of this thing, then he couldn't have found it.

It's impossible for Luke not to say it. It's like he made it clear that he had the Resurrection Stone on hand, and that he had how to use the Resurrection Stone. The effect is not a vision of the dead that can be seen in the depths of one's own heart when it is not used. Instead, it really recalls the ghost from the underworld, and even has the opportunity to make this ghost directly attached to the body of the present world, and then resurrected.

Of course, the latter, whether it was Dumbledore or Luke, had seen the results. It's also a dead heart.

And Dumbledore was able to gain Luke's trust because of this. The Resurrection Stone was in his hand, and although Luke didn't wear the ring often, Dumbledore didn't ask Luke for it once even though he knew it existed.

That's where the trust between the two comes in. Trust is never something that can be said with words. It's something that can be done.

Breakfast time flashed by, and everyone was interested in Luke's story, and they were discussing it all the way to class. And at the dinner table, whether it's Hermione, Luna, or Fleur, they all know that Luke is lying.

But Luna's expression didn't change, she didn't care about this kind of thing. Hermione had always been smart enough to know that this kind of thing couldn't be said and asked. Fleur is a pretty girl who can deceive, she is a little surprised, but she controls her expression and does not reveal anything.

The three of them saw that Luke had nothing to say, and walked towards their respective classrooms.

Luke hadn't been in class in a while. Slytherin's first class today was Transfiguration, and it was with Gryffindor. So he walked with Hermione.

"Is your research bearing fruit?"

Luke asked straight to the point.

As soon as Hermione was asked by this, she left behind a trace of charm in her heart.

"I've completed the progress you mentioned earlier, and I've completed the loop construction of all the more general memory spells I can find so far. And it's sorted out. As you said, there are some commonalities among these spells. It's not visible from the spell, but it's obvious when the loop is formed. I haven't figured out what this thing is, though."

Luke nodded, this progress was already quite good. As for what he could find, Luke didn't know. Just kidding, if he knew this, he wouldn't be at the current level of strength.

This kind of thing is originally a study that directly points to the essence of magic, and it stands to reason that wizards who have reached a certain level of ability, or who have reached the end of a certain aspect, will have the mind and ability to study.

But this time, Luke and Hermione did find some clues in a different way. As for whether this will already touch the essence of magic. Neither Luke nor Hermione was so arrogant.

Luke was not personally involved in Hermione's research. But he knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Hermione, on the other hand, felt that she was shallow and ignorant the more she studied, and the more she studied, the more she felt that magic was profound. The existing wizards' understanding of magic and spells is too shallow. Only those who can create spells can understand the depth of magic that can be explored.

In other words, when a wizard can create his own spells, he can be regarded as stepping into the door of magic.

"The current level should be okay. I'm going to take you somewhere tonight. Maybe there's something new to inspire."

Hermione smiled in surprise when she heard this.

"Yes, Legacy?"

She asked in a whisper by Luke's side.

Luke looked at the excited and cautious Hermione and smiled, "Yes. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was given to Taylor to inherit. The stuff in it really helped Taylor, too. I'm not sure if it's a trap or a legacy in the Responsive House.

So we're going tonight, mainly to test it."

"But don't worry. I'm sure I'll be able to keep you safe."

Hermione smiled and nodded, "I've never been worried about my safety."

Then she stared into Luke's eyes and asked, "So, who are you going to give the rest of the inheritance to?"

Faced with this question, Luke did not choose to answer it directly, but smiled and said, "For the most suitable person."

Although he already has the bottom in his heart. But he wouldn't tell anyone else. Even if others guessed, he wouldn't admit it.

Hermione didn't ask much. The two of them walked towards the Transfiguration classroom.

As Luke walked into the room, Professor McGonagall suddenly stood up from her seat.

"You're back?"
