In the early morning, Luke and his group were sitting in the restaurant having breakfast. This morning's class was Transfiguration, so they still had to cheer up.
"Ah~~~~"
After a big yawn, Luke stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth and ate his breakfast in a rather lazy manner.
Siluke
"You haven't slept well for several days?"
Hermione asked a little strangely.
They all knew that Luke had the ability and habit of wandering at night, so they were accustomed to his occasional lack of energy in the morning.
The meaning of Hermione's question was not to ask if he had slept well, but to ask what he did last night. It just left some room for Luke. If you don't want to take action, just simply deal with it.
"A little something. I originally wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest last night, but I suddenly felt hungry halfway through, so I went to the kitchen to eat a late-night snack. After eating, I felt sleepy, and then I was ready to go back to sleep."
"But I met Mrs. Norris on the way and played with her for a while, so it was a bit late."
When Luke spoke, his face was full of helplessness and resentment, and he seemed to have a strong desire to fight to the death with the bastard who disturbed his sleep.
After hearing his explanation, Taylor and Hermione looked at each other and nodded, as if they had some secret. After all, the reason I made up this time is not so perfunctory.
It's not easy to fool these two girls who know something about Luke. But after deceiving several other children, this reason is still no problem.
"Isn't there something special about eating late-night snacks in the kitchen?"
Malfoy asked with a hint of longing.
He longed for Luke's freedom. But before, when he proposed to go on a night out with Luke, the disillusionment spell Luke showed him made him give up the idea of going out at night with Luke. At least not now. He had to at least buy an invisibility cloak.
Although he then began to buy an invisibility cloak. But it was an expensive thing after all, and he would definitely have to discuss it with his father if he wanted to buy it. And if his father knew that he only wanted the invisibility cloak for night trips, he would definitely not buy it for him. Maybe he’ll even write a letter and give you a lecture.
Malfoy is quite naive about some things. But he's not stupid about this kind of thing either. He knew very well that if he went directly to his father for this kind of thing, he would be causing trouble for himself.
So when he unhappily rejected his plan to go arm-in-arm with Luke at midnight at Hogwarts, he started thinking about how to make money.
Although Luke knew Malfoy's distress, he didn't know the reason for Malfoy's distress. He was also waiting for Malfoy to ask him for help.
"No, in fact, it's just a normal meal." Luke swallowed the bread, picked up the coffee in his hand, and took a long sip gracefully, "But the good thing is, sometimes you can make reservations with the elves Your breakfast.”
As he spoke, he lifted up the obviously stronger cup of coffee in his hand.
Everyone who was eating nodded. They really didn't expect this.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then they secretly made up their minds.
Everyone ate breakfast very quickly.
After all, this is Professor McGonagall's class, and no one dares to be late. So after eating, I hurried to the Transfiguration classroom.
As he walked towards the classroom, Luke was tapped on the shoulder by Harry behind him.
He slowed down and walked side by side with Harry and Ron.
"What's wrong?"
Luke asked.
Harry looked a little embarrassed, and Ron blushed a little. Luke didn't rush, just waited quietly.
After that, Harry still said: "That's it, Luke. We also want to take a night trip, and then..."
He paused, as if thinking about it, and then said: "We want to ask you if you have any experience that you can tell us."
Ron glanced at Harry in confusion, but then looked at Luke, who didn't speak. His face just turned redder.
"There's not much to pay attention to." Luke said as he walked. "Just avoid Filch and the professor who occasionally comes out to patrol or do other things."
"As long as there is no violation of school rules, it is not considered a violation of school rules."
After saying this, Luke noticed that Hermione's body stiffened for a moment, but he still restrained his desire to turn around and refute, and continued to walk forward, but he still speeded up the pace unconsciously.
Harry nodded in understanding. But his face looked very hesitant.
Finally, Ron couldn't bear it anymore.
"Luke, I just wanted to ask if you could go on a night out with us tonight."
Ron whispered beside Luke. He seemed very reluctant to let anyone else hear about it.
Luke can understand. Ron's self-esteem has always been relatively high. The current situation is like he has no good solution and is only thinking about hugging his thigh.
And if such a request is rejected outright by Luke, it will make it even more obvious that what they usually tell others about how good their relationship with Luke is is a huge joke.
After Luke heard this request, the expression on his face did not change at all. He had guessed it early on.
"I'd love to go on a night out with you."
Luke's words gave Ron a glimmer of hope, but an embarrassed look flashed across Harry's face.
"The next step should be but." Harry thought helplessly.
Sure enough, they should still rely on themselves.
"But it probably won't work tonight. I plan to have a good sleep tonight." Luke stretched out his hand and pointed at his eyes with a smile, "I really lack sleep."
Ron looked at Luke's dark circles and nodded blankly. Luke didn't say anything nonsense. Looking at the circles under his eyes, he really should have a good sleep.
This can also explain why Luke drank such strong coffee before.
"You guys should stop holding Luke back."
Malfoy's sharp voice came, and Ron and Harry looked back at him with some dissatisfaction.
Goyle and Crabbe beside him saw the look in their eyes and immediately showed ferocious expressions.
Malfoy said nonchalantly: "Luke is able to travel safely at night because of his Disillusionment Curse. If you two don't know how to use the Disillusionment Curse or the Invisibility Cloak, you will be doing Luke a favor by going together." Increase vulnerabilities.”
Harry didn't know how difficult the Disillusionment Curse was, but he could tell from Ron's surprised eyes that this spell was definitely not something they should know now.
Then it seems that Malfoy is not talking nonsense.
If they insist on going with Luke, they might really be trying to hold Luke back. This will only make it more difficult for them to accept.
"Perhaps you can go to George and Fred? They won't refuse."
Luke said tentatively.
But Harry and Ron looked at each other and didn't respond. It's not that they haven't thought about it, but Ron seems to be more resistant to it.
"It's okay, Luke, we can do it ourselves."
Harry said to Luke with a smile.
Luke looked at him with a serious and slightly disappointed expression, and could only pat him on the shoulder silently.
"Let me lend you a small prop tonight. It should be helpful for your night outing."
Harry looked at Luke's sincere eyes, and although he was confused as to what useful thing it was, he still nodded.
"Thanks."
"We are friends. You help me and I help you."
After that, the group stopped talking and quickly walked into the classroom.
Professor McGonagall was already standing on the podium waiting for them.
Taylor raised his head and glanced at the professor, then whispered in Luke's ear: "The professors don't seem to have had a good rest these days."
The corners of Luke's mouth twitched subtly.
"Maybe there's something troubling you."
After hearing this, Taylor rolled his eyes at Luke angrily. Then he looked at the props on the table.
Their learning task has progressed to the next step, and they are now going to use the wood on the table to create a ceramic vase.
It’s definitely still difficult.
"Okay, let's continue what you left unfinished in the last class, kids."
Professor McGonagall's voice was as serious as ever, but one could also feel the fatigue hidden in it. So everyone looked at Professor McGonagall with a hint of concern.
Professor McGonagall naturally felt the gazes of the students, but she did not show her exhaustion, but instead cheered up and
"Luke, you still have free practice."
Then everyone's attention focused on Luke again.
For so many days, Luke was doing whatever he wanted in the Charms and Transfiguration classes.
The teachers all said that he was almost finished learning the first grade.
It really means that one person is more likely to die than another.
At first, Hermione still wanted to compete with Luke. But then I simply stopped seeing Luke as a rival.
It's all frustration and no sense of accomplishment.
Luke nodded to the professor, and then began to try to turn the piece of wood on the table into a cat.
Professor McGonagall looked at the students' actions and couldn't help but nodded. Even excluding Luke, the talents of this group of students were pretty good. Of course, with Luke's encouragement, it obviously feels like they have to work harder than they did in previous years.
And not just the first-year students, but after the various colleges began to communicate, the students of other grades no longer simply put their role models in their own colleges.
As she knew, some Ravenclaw students now began to think that Percy was very good at studying.
Thinking of this, she felt deeply relieved.
As a teacher, what satisfies her most is that students can make progress on their own without the urging of teachers.
Even just a little bit.
Then, she finally yawned involuntarily.
They are really busy these days. Patrolling and investigating around the Forbidden Forest every night. Although they still found no trace of either of the two dark wizards.
And it’s almost the Halloween party, so we need to start preparing and decorating in advance.
In addition, normal schoolwork cannot be reduced at all. Even because of the efforts of students and the acceleration of learning progress, their teaching must also be adjusted to a certain extent.
One by one, everything fell on them, the professors.
It can only be said that the salary remains the same and the workload doubles.
There is no price increase for additional quantities.
More importantly, after so many years of friendship, Professor McGonagall instinctively realized that Dumbledore definitely knew something. He has always seemed secretive these days.
And Luke, the little bastard. Although he pretended to be innocent. But can you pretend to be serious in front of others, but it will be perfunctory when you are here?
Is it obvious to tell myself that there is definitely his shadow behind this matter?
I don’t know where this kid has so much trust in me.
Thinking like this, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but glare at Luke.
Luke was gathering his thoughts when he suddenly sneezed.
"Have you caught a cold?"
Taylor asked with concern.
"No, I just thought of a pretty good idea. Although it's a bit tricky."
Luke didn't pay attention to the sneeze, but waved his wand and said, "Maybe I can try to turn this piece of wood into a cat sculpture first."
"Then make the cat sculpture move."
“The disassembly method feels simpler.”
As he spoke, with the wave of Luke's wand, the piece of wood on his desk slowly turned into a large cat sculpture.
The cat looks exactly like Booker, but looks a little more lazy.
At least Taylor didn't remember seeing such a look on Booker.
"By the way, have you seen Booker these days?"
Luke looked at his masterpiece and suddenly asked with a bit of pain.
At that time, he had thought that the owner of Neville's Lai Fu Pit often disappeared after all. It will only appear at the beginning and end of term.
But Luke now feels that Booker is not as good as Laifu... After all, Laifu will not find anyone else to take advantage of him. But Booker will...
Isn't this a kind of...
"I remember seeing Booker in Professor McGonagall's office. I also saw Cho Chang there, and..."
Luke heard a dark clue. Why on earth did Luna feel that she was similar to Booker? It's obviously nothing like it.
"You said before that you have something to do tonight. What is it?"
Taylor's voice rang directly into Luke's ears.
"Do you need my help?"
Luke pondered for a moment and shook his head silently.
"It's a bit dangerous, but forget it. I have a magical animal egg that's about to hatch. I'm not sure what will happen when it's born. It's best if you don't get close."
Taylor frowned and his cheeks puffed up slightly. Giving Luke a big eye roll. Then he turned around angrily to make his own vase.
Just flicking the wand a little harder, it looks more like venting.
Luke laughed. He knew Taylor cared about him, but...
After all, it was a basilisk that was going to be hatched, and Luke himself didn't know what would happen. Naturally, he won't let the people around him take risks with him.
Looking at the incubation interface with the countdown approaching zero.
Luke's eyes were full of anticipation.
