But not everyone can realize the beauty of this scene like Harry did. There was no trace of joy on Marcus' face as he sat in Slytherin's seat. Even the girl he liked smiled at him. He could only respond with a stiff smile.
"You're not in the right state today."
Beside him, a friend who was familiar with him looked at his face and said strangely.
"Isn't that right? Isn't that guy Nott's face even worse?"
Marcus replied casually.
The person who asked him the question had a question mark on his face.
Does the question I just asked have anything to do with the answer he gave?
But seeing that Marcus had no desire to chat anymore, he stopped caring about this guy and picked up a skull-shaped candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
This is Honeydukes Candy Shop’s new Halloween limited product, Baiwei Skull Candy. The production concept is the same as Bibi's multi-flavor beans, but this thing has a total of 100 flavors.
"Well, it's chocolate flavored, good luck."
He said with a cheerful smile.
At this time, Marcus also wanted to get a piece of candy to calm himself down. But when he turned around, he saw Luke not far away, surrounded by several girls.
As if aware of his gaze, Luke looked at him and gave him a bright smile.
Marcus shivered.
However, his hand unconsciously picked up a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
In fact, he only had a subconscious reaction up to this point. When the weird taste exploded in his mouth, he finally reacted and spit out the candy in his mouth.
"Bah! It smells like slugs! Tough luck!"
he shouted angrily in a low voice.
The face of the friend beside him changed, and then he asked tentatively: "Hey, Marcus, how do you know what slugs taste like?"
"First Evolution"
Marcus' face turned completely dark.
"What are you looking at?"
While observing Luke's expression, Gemma rummaged through the pile of candies in front of her.
Luke smiled and said: "It's nothing, I was just looking at an orangutan who was tricked by me with a banana."
Gemma was not moved by Luke's words. She followed Luke's eyes and saw Marcus, that very familiar guy.
“What kind of banana did you use?”
Gemma asked curiously.
"Brooms, just a few brooms."
Luke said it easily. But Gemma is not a fool. She knows with her toes that it will definitely not be a simple broom.
And the price of Nimbus 2000...she felt a little dizzy just thinking about it.
"I think I have to carefully consider whether to take over your business." Gemma said half-jokingly, "With a boss like you who spends a lot of money, I don't think my ability to make money is necessarily enough."
"You should be careful. But even losing money is a small matter."
Luke smiled and said, but that was all he said without any further explanation. Gemma looked at him deeply. Then I sighed deeply at Luke's determination.
Then I felt someone gently tugging on my sleeve.
She looked over and found that it was the girl who had been following Luke, who didn't like to talk mysteriously.
The long bangs on her face covered her eyes and concealed most of her appearance. But Gemma had seen the eyes under the bangs. As long as the bangs are parted, she will definitely be a girl that can make most boys crazy about her.
Although Gemma herself said she was a little reluctant, she still had to admit that the face she had always thought was not bad finally turned out to be really not bad in front of this girl named Taylor.
Taylor didn't pay attention to Gemma's strange thoughts, and just silently put the things in his hands into Gemma's hands.
Gemma lowered her head and saw a piece of bat-shaped black chocolate being thrust into her hand.
She shouted first, then looked at Taylor in surprise.
Taylor smiled at her.
Gemma first stuffed the chocolate into her mouth, then took a deep breath, and quickly and gently pinched Taylor's cheeks with her hands.
The thin face had no fleshiness, and then the bangs were messed up, revealing a pair of eyes that shined like stars.
"So sweet! Little Taylor!"
Gemma looked at the stunned and helpless face, and for a moment she became playful. She put her face directly against Taylor's face and rubbed it.
Luke looked at the naughty Gemma and the dumb Taylor in front of him, and was speechless for a moment. The atmosphere seems to be a little better today, so everyone has let themselves go.
It's not just Gemma and Taylor. Even Percy was eager to try and go to Ravenclaw.
There are more people, candies, festivals, and celebrations, which can indeed arouse human nature.
But Luke just glanced at everyone calmly, with a look and scrutiny hidden in his eyes.
Now, he looked like a high and mighty king, watching everyone.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if playing a silent piece of music.
After all, candy can't be the main course, and the main purpose of tonight's party is not for everyone to socialize, so a large number of festive dishes were also served on the table.
But Luke was still speechless and choked up when he looked at the skull-shaped cake in front of him.
Skulls, no problem, a common decoration among wizards. There is nothing wrong with cake, it is a food that everyone eats regularly.
However, the skull-shaped cake was still a little too advanced for Luke.
But several people around him ate with gusto. This made him seem somewhat out of place.
"Why don't you eat?"
Tyler's voice rang in Luke's ears.
Xun Sheng looked over and found Taylor eating the pumpkin-shaped pudding in small bites and not touching the skull cake at all.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that something will happen after a while."
Luke whispered in Taylor's ear.
Tyler glanced at Luke and saw the seriousness hidden beneath his relaxed smile.
Therefore, the relief on her face also softened a lot, and she couldn't help but look at the closed door over there. She also knew that if there was any bad news, it must come from the door.
Suddenly, she seemed to notice something was wrong.
Taylor looked at the people around him. They were very happy, so happy that they felt a little happy.
"You... can you do it to this extent now?"
Taylor just opened her mouth, but her voice still rang in Luke's ears.
Luke didn't reply, just smiled and nodded.
Taylor took a sip of pumpkin juice to cover up the gaffe on his face.
But after putting the cup down, Taylor still had a bright smile on his face.
This is good news, no doubt about it.
Harry has been paying attention to Luke's situation.
Although he is very happy now, the uneasiness in his heart has never disappeared.
Harry glanced at the positions of the teachers above and found that although there were many teachers and many professors he didn't know yet, there were still three familiar figures missing.
"Dumbledore isn't already fighting with Quirrell and Snape, is he?"
Ron leaned into Harry's ear and made an unfounded guess.
Although it didn't make sense, Harry couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
"Probably not. If Luke just told Dumbledore the matter, then there would be no need to hide it from us."
Harry's mind is still very flexible, at least he can still react to this kind of thing. Of course, he himself wasn't very sure. After all, this seemed to be the easiest way to deal with it at the moment.
"Any results from your expedition, Ron?"
Fred looked at the two people whispering on one side and interrupted them with a smile on his face.
"You are kidding, Fred. If he really achieved something, how could he not tell us until now?"
George laughed heartily, which also caused a group of people around him to laugh.
To be honest, although the words sounded like sarcasm, the concern in the tone was still very obvious.
In other words, they really care about their brother, but the way is a bit unique.
Ron subconsciously wanted to show off the secret he had been holding back for a long time in front of his brothers. But when the words came to his lips, he still endured them and did not speak. He just said dullly: "It's none of your business!"
Others on the side thought it was just a tough talk, so they laughed even louder.
But the laughter on George and Fred's faces turned into smiles. After looking at each other for a while, they both noticed the worry in the other's eyes.
They all knew that what Harry and Ron were investigating now were different from what they were investigating at Luke's request, but the final direction was the same. And it's just as dangerous.
The twins looked at Ron, and the last bit of their smile gradually faded away.
"If you need help, Ron, remember to find both of us."
After being silent for a while, Fred said with a somewhat solemn tone.
Although George did not speak, he nodded heavily.
Ron looked at the expressions of his two brothers and was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly.
"What kind of adventure are you on? You are violating school rules, do you know? You will deduct points from Gryffindor! You..."
Percy's voice came and Fred rolled his eyes.
"We are still the younger brothers of the prefect. We should set an example for others, right? Okay, okay, stop talking about it. We all know it."
"Boring." George said ruthlessly.
And looking at Percy's angry and helpless expression. Everyone laughed again.
Gryffindor seemed to be in a sea of joy.
But neither Wes's four brothers nor Harry himself smiled.
They didn't find it funny, only misunderstanding and confusion about each other.
The Weasley brothers, who were still able to maintain harmony, eventually developed rifts in advance.
This must be because of Luke, but more probably because his way of thinking is very different after all.
"George, do you know why Professor Snape... and Professor Quirrell didn't come?"
Harry asked.
"We don't know the reason for that, but... maybe you can see the location for yourself."
George seemed to mean it, but said it unintentionally.
Harry was stunned for a moment, then realized what they meant.
He punched his thigh in annoyance.
Damn it, I forgot about this. They can use the Marauder's Map to check their location!
So he looked at Ron. Ron was keeping the map today.
Ron's face fell instantly as he looked at Harry's expectant eyes.
"In the classroom, I forgot to bring it when I was changing clothes."
Harry opened his mouth, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Ron shrank his neck subconsciously, he was ready to be punished.
But at this moment, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open!
The originally cheerful and relaxed atmosphere was instantly broken. As if their throats were sealed at the same time, everyone closed their mouths and looked at the door not far away, and Professor Quirrell who pushed the door open.
"There's a troll! In the hallway!"
He was panting and looked panicked.
There was also blood on his body, and it didn't look like anyone else's blood.
"Calm down, Professor Quirrell, it's just a troll."
Professor McGonagall spoke quickly, not to comfort Quirrell, but more to comfort the students who were starting to panic.
"Yes, it's just trolls, Professor Quirrell. They're easy to deal with."
Hagrid had already stood up and picked up his umbrella, but under the gaze of Professor McGonagall, he still put down his little pink umbrella, then rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.
Their words not only comforted everyone, but also attracted everyone's attention.
When Luke saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
If the Gryffindor Swordsman is the future Neville Longbottom, then the Hogwarts Boxing Champion must be Rubeus Hagrid.
If you don’t believe it, try it and see how it feels when a fist as big as a casserole hits your face.
"It's not over!"
Quirrell suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention again.
"There is also a... Volcano Bat... and a Manticore... two."
Once you say this, don't say anything about Luke. Even Professor McGonagall was stunned.
Trolls are not dangerous. This thing doesn't have high intelligence. Although its combat effectiveness is acceptable, it shouldn't be too easy to deal with.
But the latter two, three... If they are not cleared away, Hogwarts may not be inhabitable the next day.
"Professors follow me to check. Students, stay where you are and don't move!"
Professor McGonagall gave the order decisively.
"Professor Sprout, please watch the students here. Professor Flitwick, please find the Headmaster and Professor Snape immediately. We need their help."
The two professors nodded in unison and had no objection to this arrangement.
Some students know these three magical animals, and some do not. Some are afraid, some are answering.
Only Luke was very calm.
Then, he glanced at Marcus not far away.
