At midnight on Saturday, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the sky was high and cloudy.
On the sill of an open window, a small flying insect rested on it, as if sensing some danger, it suddenly prepared to fly. But not before it flapped its wings a few times. It was crushed into pulp by some invisible weight.
Luke leaned on the windowsill and looked down at the entire Forbidden Forest through the window sill.
His eyes focused on the winding path. His expression was slightly cold, and there was a faint golden light shining in the lake-green hole.
In his field of vision, there were two masses of emotional dust and a chaotic gel-like mass, also colored by emotions. That was Norbert's emotion, but it could no longer be called 'dust'.
After coming into contact with the giant squid, he was able to see the emotional states of these magical animals. But since it would take a lot of magic and mental energy to stir up the dust, he naturally couldn't poke it.
Luke didn't know whether he was not strong enough or simply didn't master the skills. But he knew that if he really wanted to find the answer, then there would be no problem in finding the giant squid.
Emotional vision can penetrate the barrier of the legendary Invisibility Cloak, one of the Three Hallows of Death. This was something Luke had not expected and was somewhat surprised by.
At the same time, I feel more and more that this talent is not simple.
Is it really possible for such a talent to simply appear in oneself? It's hard for Luke to believe the pie-in-the-sky thing. Being sent to another world by the system is already a great blessing. And with the existence of such a talent, is there too much of a good thing...
Luke still tends to think that there is another reason for this talent. No matter what is unfolded, or what is activated. There has to be a reason.
Luke looked down at the two men and one dragon that were getting closer and closer, and his eyes refocused.
It needs to be revealed naturally, and black magic such as the Imperius Curse should be used as much as possible. This means that there are actually very few means that can be used.
After a while, Luke watched as the two approached the castle with the dragon. A brief smile appeared on Luke's face, then he turned and left.
How can people discover this matter? In addition to simply informing, there must be more plans.
Luke walked downstairs and lifted his disillusionment spell. A moment later, Taylor's figure appeared next to Luke.
She already held the Marauder's Map in her hand, and said with an anxious look on her face: "Luke, Professor McGonagall is patrolling tonight."
Luke nodded and said nothing. He just glanced at the map and saw the two people heading towards the observatory, as well as the name of Professor McGonagall who was heading towards the observatory.
"What are your plans? To make their plan succeed, or not."
Taylor asked with some confusion. This was actually what confused her the most. It was hard for her to guess what Luke was thinking. After all, Luke often said, 'Everything has two sides. As long as it's not a desperate situation, success or failure is beneficial. '
She didn't know whether, in Luke's eyes, the success of this plan would be more beneficial or the failure of this plan would be more beneficial.
"Let the other party succeed, but take out Ron."
Luke originally wanted to remain mysterious, but when he saw Taylor lowering his head, he had an expression that said, "Although you have promised, I can't force you if you say it or not." ’, Luke couldn’t maintain this sense of mystery.
"This may be a bit deviant in the eyes of teachers. However, some things cannot be taken too lightly. You still have to participate in such a limelight thing."
Taylor shook his head and said, "If we were deducted points, everyone wouldn't be so happy."
This is indeed a limelight, but Taylor can see that it is not a good limelight. On the contrary, it is not worth the loss to a large extent. Professor McGonagall will not hesitate to deduct points from everyone.
Ten or twenty points of this kind of situation are too few. Being deducted 50 points is definitely not excessive.
"So none of you can be found."
Luke's expression was serious: "If it's just Harry and I, we can actually talk to Professor McGonagall about anything."
If Harry were alone, Luke thought Professor McGonagall would be more gentle. Although she seems to be a selfless person, Professor McGonagall is a Gryffindor. She is fair but not rigid. Maybe the situation would be a lot better if Luke was here. Maybe these punishments no longer exist.
After all, Luke's long hours of work were not in vain.
"Then when you arranged the task, you directly..."
Taylor stopped talking as he spoke, and then nodded thoughtfully.
Luke smiled when he saw this, took the Marauder's Map from Taylor's hand, and said: "I'll go down first to take care of it. You guys, be careful about other changes. If there is any accident, don't think about anything else, first Keep yourself safe.”
Luke's expression was quite serious, and Taylor could only nod. The next moment, Luke cast a disillusionment spell on himself and disappeared.
Taylor looked at the place where Luke disappeared, with a complicated expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Confidence is a good thing, but Luke... things don't always go according to your plan."
I knew very well in my heart that Luke must have prepared for various accidents, but when looking at Luke's confident expression, some people would be infected by his confidence, while others would remain skeptical of such confidence.
There must be both types of people, and it is best to have both.
Although Taylor was worried, he still went ahead with Luke's plan.
She didn't know why, but she always felt uneasy. As a future prophet, she had great faith in her premonitions. She told Luke her hunch. After Luke said that she understood, she still couldn't let go.
"The Evil God"
The anxious Taylor carried out Luke's plan carefully.
"There is a temporary problem. Ron, you go first. Harry and I will take care of it here. You go tell Malfoy and Hermione to leave immediately."
Luke found the location of the two people on the Marauder's Map. In fact, he arranged the route, but he still pretended not to see the two people until Harry lifted a corner of the Invisibility Cloak so that Luke could see to him.
"What happened Luke?"
Ron asked with some uneasiness: "Professor McGonagall suddenly walked straight towards this direction. Maybe she heard something. Don't be anxious. Go and take everyone out of here first, so that everyone can be saved by McGonagall." Take the professor away."
Ron subconsciously wanted to refute, how could he do such an unloyalty thing?
But the next moment, Luke looked seriously into Ron's eyes and said with a serious face: "This is not about escaping, Ron. This is about leaving the really important things to you."
Ron only felt a heavy but glorious sense of mission and responsibility weighing on him, so he looked at Luke and said seriously: "Don't worry, Luke! I promise to complete the mission!"
"I trust you."
After saying that, Luke and Harry looked at each other. When Harry opened a corner of the invisibility cloak and was about to let Luke in, Luke happened to see Mimi Huhu, who felt like he was about to fall asleep. Fire dragon.
It looked a bit like he had been cast under the Imperius Curse, but it probably wasn't. After all, Hagrid wouldn't use such a method on his good son. It should be some kind of medicine that can make the fire dragon coma. It looked like the dosage of the medicine was not enough, but the effect was just right. He was just in a half-dream and half-awake state, and he could walk away just by holding a rope.
Fortunately, Norbert was a small fire dragon who had just made a sound. If he were to deal with the big fire dragon, this medicine would not have much effect.
Ron nodded to Luke, then took the Marauder's Map, followed the location on the map, and went to pick up Hermione and Malfoy. He couldn't find Tyler's name because Tyler's name had also been wiped off the map by Luke.
This situation seems a bit inconvenient now. But there is no way, the magic on it is too complicated. Luke has only learned how to violently 'destroy', but he has not yet learned how to add names.
I have to say that this is a technical job, and Luke doesn’t have that much energy to learn it yet.
When Luke hid himself under the invisibility cloak, Harry asked worriedly: "Luke, why did Professor McGonagall come here suddenly?"
Luke looked solemn and said: "I don't know either, but Harry, if you meet Professor McGonagall later, don't panic. I will explain to the professor."
I can only tell you something first, after all, Luke really can't believe what Harry and Ron say.
It's not that Harry doesn't have confidence in his eloquence, but that depends on who he is talking about. How can a child who has been living under the shelter of others since childhood not have any eloquence and emotional intelligence? Compared to Ron, who grew up in a happy but slightly poor family, he was certainly great. But it was best not to show off his eloquence in front of Luke.
"Okay, I know."
Harry nodded seriously. Of course he knew that Luke allowed himself to follow him because he trusted him more, so he also knew the consequences of being trusted by Luke.
Sometimes, when he wants to take risks, he will only bring people he trusts, or no one at all.
As an orphan, he developed this skill of seeing people.
The two of them didn't say anything more. Harry held the dragon's hand while Luke led the way. Observing the situation ahead.
Noble's eyes were closed, but he could not detect the movement of his eyes. Luke didn't know how Hagrid did it, but no matter how it was done, with the fire dragon's powerful magic resistance and the rapid metabolism of the juvenile fire dragon, whether it was magic or potion, the effect would not last long. .
If Norbert woke up here, he would be in a very bad situation.
…
According to the plan, Taylor's task was to keep an eye on Chilo's movements. Luke didn't know if it was true that Norbert had an agenda. Judging from the original work, Quirrell and Voldemort obviously did not think of this. So they let Harry and the others take away the dragon, and even went hunting in the Forbidden Forest when they were assigned a closed mission by Hagrid.
But after Luke came to this world, he knew that the original work could be used as a reference, but he could never fully believe it. Judging from their previous performances, Voldemort and Quirrell are definitely not fools. Not only are they prepared for many things, they even have many plans. And ever since Taylor appeared in front of him, he knew that if he wanted to live well and complete his mission, it was best not to be superstitious about the original work.
Therefore, this kind of speculation can only be believed in its existence rather than its non-existence. So asking Taylor to help keep track is also a normal choice. Tyler cast a disillusionment spell on himself. It worked the first time.
Taylor's brows furrowed. She was still a little uncomfortable with the spell-casting method taught by Luke. This mode of first thinking about guiding the magic power and then completing the casting is a bit troublesome, but the effect is indeed good. As long as you remember the steps of casting the spell after one success and practice it carefully, you can use it quickly.
The difference from the original method is that the original effect is not stable, and a little emotional fluctuation may cause the magic to fail. But that won't be the case anymore.
As long as you keep in mind the flow of magic power, you can use the spell smoothly. But the biggest problem is that such a magic will consume a lot of magic power, and sometimes you will feel dizzy. Luke said it is the feeling of mental energy being consumed.
From the current point of view, the magic in front of me is really not competitive. But it should be strong after that. This can be seen from Luke's performance.
The moment Taylor felt dizzy, strange lights and shadows suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Among the colorful and unpredictable lights and shadows, Taylor saw pictures that were not so clear.
A fire dragon that breathes out this angry flame. A sneer from the shadows. Luke holding a wand. Harry gritted his teeth and supported himself. All these scenes came to mind at once.
Taylor only felt dizziness hitting his head like a tide. She wished she could sleep on the spot, but she gritted her teeth and persisted. Stretching out his hand, Taylor pinched his arm hard and twisted it in a full circle.
The pain stimulated his tired brain. After a moment of excitement, Taylor took a deep breath and ran towards the astronomy tower without hesitation.
Long, there's going to be a problem on Norbert's side! Luke must be told now!
That dragon may not be very dangerous, but the person behind it definitely is!
She also knew that her prophecy ability could not predict things that would happen too long in the future. In other words, there is no point in staying here now.
Quirrell has been waiting there for a long time.
Luke...it's dangerous now...
Thinking so, Taylor couldn't help but speed up his steps again.
