During dinner time, most of the students in the cafeteria were still sitting at the tables of their respective colleges.
But a few people have begun to go to other tables to find their former friends or new friends to eat together.
Most of these people are first-year students. Although some senior students complained about this, they did not stop their behavior.
After all, even the professors didn't say anything.
Even Professor Flitwick happily greeted a student dressed in Hufflepuff costume when he passed by the Ravenclaw table.
Professor McGonagall smiled brightly when she looked at the guy from the Snake House who had made a big splash in the first grade at the dining table in the Lion House.
The students at Badger House have no problem with this. They welcome everyone who likes them and is friendly to them.
Only Professor Snape would have a sneer on his lips when he occasionally saw Mr. Harry Potter eating at the Slytherin table. But surprisingly, no words were spoken to reprimand him.
"Luke? Luke!"
Hearing someone calling him, Luke finally came back to his senses and looked at Hermione opposite with some confusion.
Hermione looked at Luke's blank face, shook her head helplessly and said, "What's wrong with you? Why have you been distracted from the beginning?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something."
Luke shook his head and said.
He was really thinking about things. He was now looking at the newly emerged talent on the skill panel in front of him, feeling quite confused.
[Talent: Emotional Control, Elementary]
Luke has always ignored the existence of his ability to feel the emotions of others. It's more like instinct to him. He also always thought that this was a small benefit brought by his strong soul in two lifetimes.
But when he was talking to Quirrell, or Voldemort, today, what he saw was obviously not something that could be explained by some small benefits.
Sure enough, after Luke opened the system panel, he discovered his new talent.
This surprised him but also made him a little confused. Although it was a good thing, it still came too suddenly.
But there is no more description about this talent. It is a bit difficult for him to enter the previous state of seeing the emotional dust around people clearly. It feels like I'm not getting the hang of it.
This made him feel a little distressed.
But after Hermione interrupted, he started to show off food in his mouth again.
At this time, he stopped picking things. He put fish and chips into his mouth, stuffed pork knuckles into his mouth, and even looked up at the stars... Ah, this won't work. After looking into those pair of fish eyes for a second, he Just put it back honestly.
Tyler and Hermione were chatting, and the content was, as expected, about something about Potions class.
"Tyler, what did Professor Snape say to you when he left you here?"
Hermione asked curiously. She was really envious at the time. Although he was also very good, even Snape didn't find fault with the potion he finally brewed. But it is definitely different from a student like Taylor who was obviously noticed by the teacher.
"He asked me to help him organize the medicine room during the holidays, and then help him when making potions." Taylor recalled Snape's awkward state of eagerness and a little arrogance. "He said he would try me out first. If you can’t meet his satisfaction within a few weeks, then there’s no need to go again.”
Hermione was simply envious. This is obviously a good thing to start a small stove, why can't it be my turn?
"Hermione, don't think about it. Although you are great, even if you are as good as Taylor, Snape probably won't give you this chance."
Ron ruthlessly broke Hermione's illusion. He took a big bite of bread and said, "He's not targeting a specific student, he's targeting the entire Gryffindor."
"Maybe except me?" Harry suddenly interjected, "I really feel like he's targeting me."
As soon as these words came out, both those who were eating and those who were not eating fell silent.
"Don't tell me, it's really possible."
Ron said with his eyes widened.
"But Taylor, you are really good. Let's not mention Snape's personality, but basically no one can question his ability in potions. He is the top class. In St. Mungo's Hospital, some of his potions are also quite good. Respected.”
It was Neville who said this. Thanks to Taylor's timely rescue, he only rested in the infirmary for a while, regained his energy and came back.
Taylor nodded and then looked at Luke. She told Luke these things immediately. Luke told her to learn from Snape. Come back if Snape is too harsh or if there's something Taylor can't stand.
But if you can withstand the pressure of studying, it is best to study hard. The benefits to Taylor himself are too great.
Taylor also knew that he could not do much to help Luke just by following Luke's words. And with him as a bridge, maybe Professor Snape wouldn't target Luke so much.
"By the way, Neville, I heard you were teased by Peeves again?"
Harry looked at Neville and asked.
"That's right...Oh, nasty Peeves!"
Neville gets angry when he talks about this. Although there has been some teasing between classmates these days, most of it is not malicious. After Malfoy was deceived by Luke and became lame, Neville's living environment was obviously much better than in the original book.
And Peeves became Neville's new lifelong enemy.
"Peeves... is indeed annoying, but he is a ghost. There is nothing we can do against him..." Harry said.
Peeves, Hagrid's dog shook his head when he saw it.
"Have you all seen Peeves?"
Luke suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. Even students who were not very close to them looked over.
After all, Luke is a celebrity too. He is still the kind of celebrity who can have a few words with anyone. Everyone knows him and is willing to chat with him and listen to him.
Unknowingly, Luke already had fans in various colleges.
Although it is still not as good as Harry at this stage.
Everyone looked at each other, and Hermione said, "I've seen them all, haven't you?"
Luke raised his eyebrows and nodded: "I haven't seen Peeves, not even once. Not even during night tours."
"Lu! When did you go out at night? You are violating school rules!"
When Hermione said the first word, her high pitched voice was about to rise, but then she remembered that this was in a restaurant, so she lowered her voice again.
Harry and Ron also looked at Luke with admiration. Unexpectedly, it had only been a week since school started, but Luke had already started operating with the old students.
Night tour! What a beautiful thing this is!
Seeing everyone starting to discuss the night outing, Luke fell silent again.
Peeves, are you avoiding me?
