In an empty classroom.
"So in the end it's just a punishment for copying the school rules?"
Hermione's eyes widened, her mouth couldn't close in shock, and her two beautiful eyebrows wanted to be twisted together, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Luke nodded, spinning the pen in his hand with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Isn't it a bit..."
Taylor's face looked a little strange. This kind of punishment cannot be said to be a small punishment or a big warning. Once this kind of punishment is handed down, the person who should be punished most by having the school rules copied is Snape.
"It's a bit light... There should be other punishments, right?"
Gemma's face was full of confusion. If this kind of thing is held up high and put down gently, then does Snape's own professorial authority still need to be used?
"That's right! At least a few more points should be deducted!"
Hermione subconsciously spoke and followed.
But before she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
Points will be deducted, definitely from Slytherin. And among the four people now, only one of them is Gryffindor, and the rest are all Slytherins...
Fortunately, apart from Gemma giving her a surprised look, Taylor still looked thoughtful, and Luke looked a little bored.
"It's all trivial. Don't pursue it. This is not an order that Snape can give alone."
Seeing the scene fell into silence, Luke said helplessly.
He wouldn't believe it without Dumbledore's instructions. Because in the entire school, apart from Dumbledore who can command Snape, Mr. King Gallon is the only one left.
Professor Snape is not short of money, but he will not refuse the opportunity to make money.
Luke looked at the three girls around him in turn and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone should be free for a while. Let's prepare for Halloween in a few days."
"Of course, the first thing to do on Halloween is safety."
Luke's words made all three of them aware that something was wrong, but judging from Luke's expression, he didn't mean to explain.
"Okay, I understand, we will pay attention to safety."
The three women looked at each other, and then Gemma said to Luke.
Luke nodded, waved his hands to the three people and said, "You go out first. I still have something to think about how to deal with."
When the three women heard this, they stood up and prepared to leave without too much entanglement.
When he was about to walk out of the classroom, Taylor suddenly turned his head and said, "Would you like to leave some food for you?"
Luke shook his head: "It won't take long, I'll be there in a while."
After speaking, he gave Taylor a bright smile.
Taylor looked at him deeply and nodded.
Then, under the gaze of the two people outside the door, he slowly walked out of the classroom and gently closed the classroom door.
The moment the door closed, Luke snapped his fingers. The originally burning candles were extinguished one after another with a 'pop' sound.
In the end, the only light source in this classroom was the moon hanging in the sky outside the window.
Under the cold moonlight, the classroom seemed a bit eerie at this time.
Luke walked to the window and looked into the distance.
The location of this classroom is great, looking to the right you can see the Black Lake and to the left you can see the Forbidden Forest.
There was no movement in the Forbidden Forest, like a sleeping beast.
In the black lake, the breeze rippled the lake surface, and the sparkling waves under the moonlight were like scattered gems. The scenery was beautiful, and Luke felt mentally relaxed.
However, this kind of relaxation did not last long. He saw a giant thing emerging from the lake, stretching out four slender but surprisingly large tentacles, and grabbing the moon from a distance.
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like it is pulling the moon down from the sky.
Of course Luke doesn't know what this thing is.
The giant squid is one of the mascots of Hogwarts. According to legend, it is an animal that is very friendly to little wizards. Logically speaking, it is not a magical creature, but judging from various legends, even some magical creatures may not be as intelligent as it.
This itself is not a normal phenomenon.
And judging from its activity level, this giant squid is probably the overlord of the Black Lake, but there are many magical creatures in the Black Lake. Apart from anything else, although the horse-shaped water monster may not form a group, there is definitely more than one.
Looking at the dangerous magical creature in front of him, he gave up the idea.
"Tsk, it's really too dangerous to add fuel to the fire..."
Luke said to himself helplessly.
If, as originally thought, some magical animals from the Forbidden Forest were summoned together to form a terrifying enough beast tide, the water would definitely be muddy. But whether it was too dangerous and attracted the professors to take action, or the beast tide got out of control before the professors had time to take action.
Luke doesn't think he has the ability to restrain all magical animals now. Even Newt Scamander is just friends with them. Helping is friendship, but losing control is instinct.
Although some of them have intelligence that is not inferior to humans, they are still just beasts. How can something like animal nature be suppressed so easily?
While Luke was brainstorming, the tentacles suddenly fell back into the water, causing large splashes and noises. Luke was startled by the sound and looked over there again, but was attracted by the two figures on the shore.
A figure stood in front of another figure, pointing his finger at the giant squid that was sticking its head out of the water. He didn't know what he was talking about.
The other one was tugging on his robe with a smile on his face.
Luke recognized the two people, Percy Weiss and Penelo Crevat. He didn't expect that the two people were actually getting together now.
But it was just a smile. Compared to lower grade students, Percy and Penello in fifth grade are also at the age when they first start to fall in love. Moreover, if these two people are mixed together, I am afraid that I will have to take some credit.
However... Luke is not optimistic about Percy's character. Maybe the background color is good, but after all, it is mixed with too many things, and it is far less firm and pure than the twins.
Penello...he didn't know much about it anymore, he only knew that he was a prefect of Ravenclaw and a smart witch. Good thing, smart people always know when to cut their losses in time.
But just as Luke was looking at the young man and woman over there, the giant squid not far away turned its attention to him.
Luke noticed the gaze and looked over immediately.
Percy seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the giant squid. He followed his gaze and saw someone at the window, which shocked him.
Without even thinking about it, I had to drag Penello away from here.
Penello looked at the panicked Percy, his expression was flustered but also a little complicated.
Luke, who saw this scene with his peripheral vision, also twitched his lips.
The professors at Hogwarts don't catch puppy love, and what's shameful about Mu Ai at his young age is his past life. Even in junior high school, the teachers mostly turned a blind eye.
Not every teacher can do this.
Luke couldn't understand Percy's brain circuit, so he simply ignored him. What made him feel even more strange was the giant squid in front of him.
Looking at the giant squid, he could feel the kindness the giant squid had towards him. This doesn't even require looking at the emotional dust surrounding it.
Although all the information he found in his previous life told him that the giant squid was related to Gryffindor, it was just a rumor and a joke by the author that had been twisted.
But in this world, he did hear similar legends. Of course, everyone just listened to them as jokes.
Even little lions who are keen on adventure rarely seek death like this. It really annoyed the giant squid, and a little wizard couldn't handle it.
The man and the squid looked at each other for a moment, then the giant squid quietly dived into the water and disappeared again.
This made Luke confused for a moment, but it was a bit silly to be serious about a squid.
He laughed at himself, turned around and prepared to leave. Some things had to be prepared early.
However, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he felt that he had more doubts about the draft he had made before. It seemed that there were still many areas for improvement.
Thinking this way, he silently prepared his words again in his heart. Just think of this doubt as a sign that you noticed something was wrong. Didn't think much about it.
…
"Dorisk! Why do you have money to come to my place today!"
In a noisy but extremely dark tavern, the owner was smoking a pipe and looking at the dark, thin man in front of him.
"What do you mean by 'How come I have money to come to you'!" Dorisk yelled in a low voice with an ugly duck voice, like a broken bellows, "How can I still lack the money to come to you?! Give me a butterbeer!"
Arrogant beyond words, the face of a villain who has succeeded.
The bald boss snorted and rolled his eyes: "You bastard, you haven't paid back the wine money you owed last time. If you want wine, pay for both the last time and this time."
There was no trace of embarrassment on Dorisk's dark face: "What's the hurry! I owe you first, and I'll give you the money after I finish this big deal!"
He looks full of momentum and pride, which doesn't seem to be closely related to his wretched appearance.
But the boss was not intimidated by this bastard's appearance.
"Oh, you said the same thing last time, but you haven't given me the money yet. Bastard, do you know how expensive a bottle of dragon-blood whiskey is! You dare to come to the door without any money? Are you really not afraid of killing me? you?"
As he spoke, he took out a wand from under the bar that looked like a branch casually broken off by the roadside.
Seeing that the other party took out his wand, Dorisk did not panic, but the expression on his face suddenly changed from excited to flattering.
"Oh, Benetto! We've been old friends for many years. Don't argue with me on such a trivial matter. I promise, I will definitely make money this time. That bastard last time was just my inattention. That’s all.”
When he said the second half, he patted his chest. He also seems quite confident.
But Benetto didn't mean to believe it at all, he just sneered. However, in the end, he reluctantly put away his wand, turned around, poured a glass of butterbeer and smashed it on the table.
"I hope you get tricked into losing your underwear again."
Benetto sneered.
Dorisk chuckled, picked up the quilt and took a big sip, squeaking, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I have carefully observed the transaction partner this time. He is definitely an honest, obedient, and easy to bully type."
As he said that, he looked at Benetto again, winked and smiled and said, "When you serve the wine later, don't forget to add some spices to the wine."
Benetto sneered, but did not refuse.
"I hope you didn't make a mistake."
Dorisk wanted to say something else, but the bell at the door rang, and he felt refreshed and raised his chest and head again. The thin figure was wrapped in a wide robe, like a mouse getting into a plastic bag.
But when seeing his face, no one would think that this man is incompetent.
He doesn't look good, but his aura of having everything under control seems quite reassuring.
He turned around and saw a guest wearing a black robe and a hood covering his face, looking like a dementor in the dark tavern.
"Are you easy to bully if you are honest and obedient?"
Benetto's almost mocking question came to Dorisk's ears.
Although he was a little panicked, Doris did not show timidity on his face. Instead, he stood up quite calmly, winked at the person who came in from the door, and walked towards a table in the corner of the bar.
And the man didn't hesitate and followed Dorisk's footsteps and walked over.
Benetto wiped the wine glass and looked at the guest intentionally or unintentionally.
But it’s really hard to see clearly. But his tavern itself was designed this way, so seeing it clearly would not be a good thing.
Seeing the man walking past the bar, Benetto exchanged glances with several wizards not far from the bar. Then he quietly tidied up the wine cabinet.
And the wizards who exchanged glances with him unknowingly shifted their gazes to the dementor-like person.
Dorisk sat on the chair, stretched out his hand and made a please gesture towards the chair opposite.
The man was not polite and sat on the chair naturally.
"Friend, would you like something to drink?"
Dorisk had a generous smile on his face.
The man just lowered his head. And a hoarse and cold voice came out from under the hood.
"Let's talk business."
Dorisk was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Drink a little, I'll pay for it. You must know that the dragon's blood whiskey in the 'Hash' pub is the best wine in the UK!"
As he spoke, he ignored the person opposite and said directly to the waiter on the side: "Kier! Here are two glasses of dragon blood whiskey!"
The waiter smiled and nodded, then walked towards the bar.
After ordering the wine, Dorisk said with a smile: "Ha, I usually don't dare to drink too much. It's too expensive, but in order to entertain you, I should still have a drink. Even if we can't negotiate a business deal, Can we be friends?"
The only response he received was a sneer from the hooded actor.
