After listening to Luke's words, Malfoy felt as if he was being looked down upon. He actually looked down on himself on the grounds that he was not worthy of the honor of the Malfoy family.
This was something Malfoy couldn't stand.
"What are you... Gaunt?"
When Malfoy saw Luke's appearance clearly across from him, he was very surprised and called out his name.
Luke looked at Malfoy who looked like he wanted to get angry but couldn't seem to get angry, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc: "If you had shouted just now, I would have looked down at you."
Malfoy wanted to get angry, but he also knew very well that the person in front of him was a target that his father had told him many times before school started to treat him well.
"Why do you say that?!"
He knew very well that at this time, it was impossible for him to use his noble blood to suppress others. Because Luke Gunter's bloodline is even nobler than his own. It is even less possible to mock Ron with money.
Publicized by the goblins, the fact that Luke Gaunt had inherited an astonishing fortune had been news for a long time.
Everyone is guessing how much money is in the treasure house of the Gunter family.
Until one day, both the goblin and the newspaper publisher shut their mouths. Ordinary people only feel that one interesting thing is missing, but it doesn't matter, they can always find similar topics of conversation in their lives.
But the nobles and those in charge of the Ministry of Magic knew something else.
More importantly, Malfoy knew very well that his father had sent out an invitation during this month, inviting the other party to dine at his home, but in the end he was excused with excuses.
This led to Lucius Malfoy never being able to figure out Luke's thoughts.
So before leaving, he could only tell Draco not to provoke the head of the Gaunt family. This is not etiquette.
But Malfoy did not see Luke's response. He only saw Luke shaking his head in disappointment: "It seems that you still don't understand what a true noble is."
After saying that, he ignored Malfoy and chatted with Harry and Ron on the side.
He has a gentle attitude and a subtle and humorous tone.
A group of students who poked their heads out of their boxes to watch the show saw that they were no longer having fun, so they all returned to their seats with regret. Of course, some of them did not forget to give Malfoy a look of ridicule or disappointment before going back.
As if he had done something despicable.
Malfoy noticed the expressions and eyes of the people in this carriage.
This made Malfoy feel very wronged.
He obviously just did the same thing as usual, why did he get ridicule and contempt from everyone this time? Even this time he was still the victim.
Goyle and Crabbe stayed beside him dejectedly. Like two cocks defeated in a fight.
Malfoy very much wanted to go up and angrily attack Luke, but because of his father's instructions and the right fire spell that was just right in the details, he knew that he couldn't go up impulsively and continue to fight if he couldn't beat him. It was inconsistent with the education he had always received.
So he looked at his younger brothers with hatred, shook his head angrily, and returned to his box.
Luke watched him leave and shook his head with regret again.
Harry looked at Luke's reaction and asked with some confusion: "Luke, why do you care so much about Malfoy? And you look... very disappointed."
Ron knew a little bit, but his family was really not interested in these things, so his knowledge was limited.
"I'm just disappointed with Draco's magnanimity. I can see the shadow of his father in him."
Luke looked disappointed, but there was a trace of mockery in his eyes.
That such a family can become the leader of today's pure-blood nobles speaks volumes.
"Gentlemen, if you don't mind, I think we could sit down and talk."
Hermione could feel that someone was still looking at them, so she said somewhat helplessly.
"Yes! Come, let's sit down and talk!"
With that said, Harry walked towards his and Ron's box.
Hermione followed closely, ready to take a look inside.
Ron followed Hermione, looking thoughtful.
Luke looked at the backs of the trio, smiled from the bottom of his heart, and then took a step forward.
Suddenly, he thought that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Where's Booker?
He looked towards his feet, but found no trace of Booker.
He was a little panicked for a moment. He wouldn't come over to help Neville find a toad and then lose his own cat. So what should he explain when he goes to see Luna this summer? !
In the box, Booker was holding the big fat mouse under his body, his sharp and powerful claws already pressed against the mouse's body. He was ready to give the rat a bite.
He just smelled the food, so he slipped into the box, and then he found a pile of snacks, which made his eyes light up. Of course, it's not because those snacks are bright, but because on the top of the snack pile, there is a fat big mouse stuffing his head into a snack bag and eating frantically, seemingly not noticing that there is a smart, cute, and cute mouse at all. The clever kitten named Booker has set his sights on his life.
Although he felt that the mouse was strange, at least it didn't look like the one he had seen in the store before, or the one Miss Luna brought to the store for them to play with. But... a mouse should be able to eat it. Well, now that I am not short of food, I will bite it to death and give it to Luke to make him happy too!
With this thought in mind, just as he was about to take his mouthful, Booker heard a scream like a slaughtering pig.
"Ah!!! Banban!!!"
Luke's smile froze. Well, now he knows where Booker is...
He could only step forward quickly, catch up with Ron, and then hide the startled Booker in his arms before him. Then apologized to Ron.
"Uh, sorry, Ron, this is my cat. Maybe he's a little hungry."
Luke didn't explain much. While comforting Ron, he stared at the big mouse that Ron picked up and put in his arms, with a strange light in his eyes.
He knew the rat was not a rat.
But he still has to think carefully about whether such a guy has enough value for him. In other words, what kind of request should I make after knowing a little secret?
Luke looked apologetic, but deep down he was starting to make calculations.
Because Ron's hug was too tight, Scabbers, or Peter Pettigrew, who was almost suffocating, suddenly felt that in addition to being suffocated, there was also a chill in his heart.
