Just because Luke didn't open the letter immediately didn't mean he didn't care about it. On the contrary, there must be a monster when things go wrong. Luke thought there would definitely be something wrong with this letter, even if he wasn't so careful, there would be no problem.
So he chose to open the letter in an empty classroom after eating but before class. This empty classroom looks ordinary, but it is the classroom closest to the principal's office. Although Luke didn't dare go directly to the principal's office to open the letter. But if he opens it here, even if there is any danger, he is confident that he can block the first wave, and then Dumbledore, the guy who can apparate in the school, will definitely arrive as soon as possible.
And if Dumbledore cannot arrive, it means that although it is dangerous, the matter is still within the scope of Luke's ability to solve it.
No matter what, it’s no loss.
And Luke also asked Taylor to go to the office in advance. Although his purpose might be exposed, Luke would not let a stupid accident like "Dumbledore just happened to be away" happen.
If you are risking your life, you must make all preparations in advance.
Luke first took Doris out of his arms, and then let her watch from the edge of the classroom.
Doris looked worried, but Luke had given the order and she had to disobey. So he could only crawl to the corner of the classroom in three steps, ready to rush to Luke's side at any time and advance and retreat with him.
Luke was very moved, but things had to go on.
So he picked up the letter, took a deep breath, took out a paper knife, and turned it around gracefully on his fingertips to relieve his nervousness. .
After that, the envelope was opened with a knife in hand.
Nothing happened.
Luke took a breath, then used a paper knife to pull out the letter paper.
An ordinary piece of letter paper, this was Luke's first impression of this thing. And when he used the levitation technique to bring this thing closer, he found that his first impression was not wrong.
It's just an ordinary piece of letter paper.
But when Luke focused his attention on the content of the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious.
He looked at the letter with no anger, but no shortage of surprise and confusion.
But it didn't take long for him to collect the letter. Take a deep breath.
Doris returned to Luke as soon as she saw that nothing happened. Although she could not understand the content of the letter, when Luke looked at the letter with a solemn expression, she looked at the letter. Xin also took an attacking stance.
Be prepared to tear that letter into pieces at any moment.
Luke touched Doris's little head to comfort the little one, and then ruthlessly stuffed Doris into his pocket again, completely ignoring Doris's protests.
"Is there something wrong with the letter?"
Taylor looked at Luke walking out of the classroom, his expression was not very good, so he asked with some worry.
"Someone wrote and told me what the attack would be like."
Luke's expression calmed down a lot, but there was still a lingering feeling of feeling like he was facing an enemy.
Taylor frowned after hearing this. Luke had told her there might be an attack on Halloween night. But he didn't know the intensity of the attack, but it was probably in the form of a dangerous magical animal attack. It is also considered a relatively conventional attack method.
But the place of attack was not a regular place.
Would someone who dared to attack Hogwarts have a careful plan? If such a plan is leaked, it might also be a trap for the other party. And the authenticity of this information cannot be determined yet. Maybe it was just to make them relax their vigilance on purpose. But why send a letter to Luke? Wouldn't it be okay to give it to a professor, or directly to Dumbledore? besides……
Seeing that Taylor's expression was becoming more and more solemn, even trending in a gloomy direction, Luke guessed that Taylor was thinking too much.
"It's not surprising that the plan wasn't so thorough. It's unusual for two mentally disturbed people to come up with a seamless plan."
Luke quickly expressed relief: "So this letter is most likely not a trap. The two of them...to be honest, I don't think it's unusual for them to do anything strange."
After all, there is only one giant monster, even if it is two people in a big plan, people don't know where to complain.
"But how did the other party know about me... This point really needs to be thought about carefully."
Luke looked grim at first, and this question was one of the reasons. As for the other reasons...who is the sender of this letter? Luke didn't think this was simply the person who helped Voldemort with magical animals and was the sender.
Can such a glove detect its own movements? How can it be!
So there must be an organization behind this. An organization that is deeply hidden but has terrifyingly wide tentacles.
Is he a saint?
Luke's first reaction was to this powerful organization that was originally loyal to Gellert Grindelwald. But after Grindelwald entered Nurmengard, they rarely appeared.
After thinking about it, Luke decided not to think about this issue yet. There is really too little information at hand, and no matter how much I think about it, I can't get any accurate answers.
Furthermore, even if it was an organization that had never appeared in the original work, he wouldn't find it that strange. Let’s not talk about the story in the original work, which is tightly focused on the British land. Even among British organizations, there are not only two Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix. The fact that the rest have not appeared does not mean that they do not exist.
However, judging from the current situation, the other party should not have any ill intentions towards him, otherwise it would not have surfaced so easily.
"Luke, who is going to attack us..."
"It's the mysterious man."
Luke didn't hide it anymore and told Taylor the answer. But because he was really close to Tom now and the time was quite sensitive, he still conscientiously replaced 'Voldemort' or 'Tom' with 'You-Know-Who'.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's mainly that I don't want to take unnecessary risks.
Luke could clearly see Taylor's emotions changing from shock to anger to hatred to calmness.
This made him admire and feel quite emotional at the same time. Having hatred is not terrible, but staying calm in the midst of hatred is the most difficult thing.
"I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would lose control of your emotions. But it seems that I still underestimate you."
Luke smiled and touched Tyler's head.
Taylor ignored him and just took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, after all these years, I won't lose control so easily."
During this period of being tortured by hatred, what she learned the most was patience.
"Don't worry, I have already made preparations, and with this information, my preparations can go one step further."
Luke smiled and promised Tyler: "I will make his plan fail, and at the same time our plan will succeed."
But Taylor didn't pay attention to Luke's assurance.
"I believe you can do it. But..." She looked at Luke's eyes and saw him put away the smile on his face, "Dumbledore... does he also know about this? "
Luke looked at Tyler's face.
The complexity of emotions was not even something Luke could discern clearly at once. Prayer, hope, loss, anger, fear...
Finally, Luke gently touched Taylor's head and whispered: "He may not know the other party's plan, but he does know the other party's existence."
The mood returned to calm.
The emotional dust that Luke saw went from colorful to pale in an instant. This was the first time Luke had seen this oozing whiteness. He knew that such white was definitely more than just calm.
Perhaps adding 'desperate' as the attributive word for calm would be more accurate.
Or... there is nothing more sad than a heartbroken one.
Now Taylor may have completely given up on that principal.
Just as Luke was about to speak, Taylor shook his head.
"I know that he may have some difficulties or some plans. But these are not important anymore."
Taylor's tone was cold, as if he was lifeless.
Luke looked at her for a long time, spread his arms, and gave Taylor a hug.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept this from you."
Luke apologized sincerely.
Tyler looked up and looked into Luke's eyes. Luke felt seen through again. But this time he didn't use Occlumency.
"Last time?" Taylor asked.
"One last time," Luke replied.
After a moment of silence, Taylor took a deep breath and said, "If you really think telling me will not do me any good, you don't have to tell me."
After saying that, she looked at Luke and said seriously: "I'm serious."
Luke looked at her face, let go and smiled: "Okay, but I will think about it carefully."
After saying that, the two of them had a tacit understanding and stopped mentioning the matter. They chatted and walked towards the classroom.
…
In the afternoon, Luke walked to Professor McGonagall's office with a little doubt. Along the way, he was wondering, what did he do to make the professor aware of some spiritual secrets?
Thinking about it carefully, it should be the last step-by-step deformation operation. And that step-by-step transformation did consume a huge amount of his mental power. He said he didn't know why. But this is the result.
I tried it again afterwards and was able to achieve a similar effect, but it was not as good as the one in class. This also made him more and more confused.
And this time, it was Professor McGonagall who came to him to ask some questions, and it was also he who went to Professor McGonagall to discuss the possible reasons behind it.
Of course, he didn't know if Professor McGonagall could explain it. After all...maybe the professor doesn't know how to use mental power?
With this in mind, he knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.
"Please come in!"
And when Luke pushed the door open and entered. He saw something that surprised him.
Scattered papers, a blackboard filled with weird words, a messy room, and Professor McGonagall, who was lying on the desk writing furiously, with messy hair and a tired look, but there seemed to be light in his eyes.
And Luke looked at all this, and felt a little familiar inexplicably.
"Luke, you're here! Just in time, come here and help me take a look at this thing!"
Professor McGonagall shouted excitedly when she saw Luke coming in.
Luke heard this and stepped forward cautiously. Make sure to spot your footing every step you take to avoid stepping on the scratch paper scattered irregularly on the ground.
After he sat down, Professor McGonagall immediately found a piece of scrap paper from the messy pile on the table and handed it to Luke.
Luke took the manuscript, and then suddenly thought of where his inexplicable feeling of familiarity came from.
Some of the scientific research experts he came into contact with in his previous life were in this state, or even a little crazier, when they were doing some key experiments. At least Professor McGonagall now knows that she has to go to class. Moreover, in his previous life, he often saw the mage's laboratory in cartoons, movies, and games. Isn't this what he saw in front of him?
"The special transformation you performed before inspired me a lot."
Professor McGonagall's words brought Luke back to reality from his memories.
"When we normally transform, we directly use magic power to catalyze it. By imagining it in our minds and adding strong desire, we can complete the transformation."
The corner of Luke's mouth twitched. Professor McGonagall said it simply, but what he said was the same as putting an elephant into the refrigerator in three steps.
If it were that simple, Transfiguration wouldn't be a difficult subject with a high failure rate.
"But what you did last time made me suddenly understand that step-by-step transformation may be a better educational method. So I made a new attempt,"
Professor McGonagall looked excited.
And Luke was really not surprised that no one had thought of this method before. The outside world is already in the 1990s. The authority of the gods has almost been crushed into dregs by natural science. The lives of the wizards here are basically not much different from those of the medieval wizards.
If you insist on saying it, it is a change in daily wear. There is also the continuous improvement of Quidditch rules. As well as the continuous adjustment of the functions of various departments of the Ministry of Magic.
And the others...heh...
But Luke still didn't taunt him. After all, not everyone can understand that isolation leads to backwardness. Especially those who think they are superior. They often have great contempt when facing the progress of those they look down upon. Until he finally reaps the consequences.
Change is necessary.
"But, Luke, I find that this method is not practical. Because when used, such a transformation is more than twice as difficult as a normal transformation."
Luke frowned when he heard this. He didn't think so. He even thought it was simpler.
But looking at the excited look on Professor McGonagall's face, he knew that this would not be the end of discovery.
"However, I finally discovered that such a transformation technique will have a higher success rate if mental power is involved! It will be more controllable! Although I have not found the real key points and standards. But Luke! You Do you know what this means?!”
Of course Luke knows.
"It means that the transformation technique can no longer rely on pure talent. Even the high-end transformation technique can be mastered through more connections. Even if there are still restrictions, it will not be like the current transformation technique. People without top talents, All I learned was the basics.”
