There was nothing wrong with Luke traveling light, but in fact, Dumbledore's luggage was not considered heavy. The chest itself of the Infinite Spell Spell ignores the weight of the items inside. Although this is very unphysical, it is very wizarding.
If this were not the case, then Newt Scamander, who was walking around carrying a suitcase, would not have to listen to Dumbledore's instructions at all. He just needs to find Grindelwald, and then take a serious punch, and Grindelwald will be gone.
Therefore, even if Dumbledore, like Newt, fills his box with various things, the weight of the box is equivalent to the mass of the box itself, plus some things that Dumbledore can load to deceive people. clothes.
After checking the box, Dumbledore led Luke, who was following him, to the boarding port on the other side. When he went to France last time, Dumbledore asked the former Luke's hand to hold the grandson and grandson. It's better now, Luke already looks like a big kid, and he doesn't have to be ashamed to be held by Dumbledore's hand.
The two people, an old man and a young man, were quite eye-catching as they walked on the pier. After Dumbledore tidied up his clothes, he was indeed an excellent and handsome old man. And Luke goes without saying. People who come back from later generations may be limited in their ability to dress in the wizarding world because of those ancient clothes. But in the Muggle world, fashionable outfits and excellent looks.
He is the most handsome guy on the whole dock.
The aesthetics that were decades ahead of schedule also have their own unique charm in this era.
"You're a bit too conspicuous Luke. This doesn't fit in with our principle of keeping a low profile!"
Dumbledore said sadly.
Luke looked at Dumbledore, who had an exaggerated expression, and could feel his happiness and relief. It seems that dressing up and the environment can indeed change a person's mentality to a certain extent and within a certain period of time.
For example, Dumbledore is obviously much more lively now. After all, he has a very lively temperament.
"It's good to be eye-catching, Professor. No one will believe that a wizard can dress up like a Muggle."
Dumbledore was speechless for a moment, then nodded after a moment.
Although he hated to admit it, he still had to say that some wizards always made some jokes when they wore Muggle clothes. For example, wizards who are used to wearing loose wizard robes always like to choose loose clothes when choosing Muggle clothes. So from time to time, you can see wizards wearing nightgowns and bathrobes walking on Muggle streets, and then they attract attention.
The embarrassing thing is that they still think that they are dressed very handsomely.
Little did he know that people were looking at him like a fool.
Luke really couldn't figure out where some wizards' sense of superiority came from... This kind of arbitrarily guessing other people's thoughts without knowing a certain culture is a kind of arrogance in itself.
And while the two were chatting, two people on the boat looked at the people around them with contempt in their eyes.
"Boss, we have already contacted the people over there. When we get there, someone will pick up the goods immediately."
A young man with yellow hair like withered grass said seriously to a young man with white hair.
The white-haired young man nodded.
"Be careful and don't let others discover our whereabouts."
Hearing this, the yellow-haired young man smiled confidently: "Oh, boss, we have walked this road so many times. You don't know how impatient those Aurors are when they observe these Muggles' transportation. .”
The white-haired young man did not deny what he said. He knew very well that those people would never look directly at these Muggles.
"Better be careful." He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't forget how dangerous our goods are this time."
"If we are caught this time, no matter which country we are caught by, we will be in jail."
The yellow-haired young man smiled and said, "I think in addition to being jailed, we might also be deported and castrated."
The white-haired young man thought this was a joke
Not really funny. After all, if something really goes wrong this time, it could indeed happen.
So he patted Huang Mao's shoulder harder and said, "Then be more careful!"
The force he used on his hand was really strong, and Huang Mao's body trembled when he was slapped. Still wanting to make a joke, he saw the serious look in his boss's eyes, so he nodded.
The white-haired young man nodded. Carrying his suitcase, he walked towards the cabin.
Huang Mao rubbed his shoulders and looked at the retreating figure of the white-haired young man. With a serious face and silence for a moment, he suddenly sneered.
"Be careful? Be careful~"
………………
"This ship... is much bigger than the one we took when we went to France!"
Dumbledore said with emotion again. He is not some ignorant old man. When he was young, he traveled all over the world. Because of this, although he is sighing now, the worry on his face has never disappeared.
Luke looked at his face and smiled: "It's quite different from when you were young, right?"
Dumbledore gave Luke a slightly thoughtful look.
"You seem to be very optimistic about these new things."
Dumbledore has been paying attention to Luke's movements. Because the relationship between Luke and Professor McGonagall was so good, it was equivalent to not hiding some things from Dumbledore.
For example, one of his men is active in the Muggle world and plays games according to the rules of the Muggle world. He has even become one of the big figures in the Muggle world.
Judging from the time, this may not be Luke's work alone. It is something that the Gaunt family has been preparing for many years ago.
The Gaunt family secretly pays attention to the Muggle world. They think the Muggle world is important. It's so important that this secret can only be kept by yourself. This is what Dumbledore came to.
Not everyone sees the dangers and potential of the Muggle world. The current wizarding world is still in a state where everyone considers themselves to be superior to Muggles.
This can be seen from the students who have stayed in school for a year and when they return to school after the summer vacation, their Muggle smell will become very dull.
Even objectively speaking, some, even quite a few, Muggle-born wizards despise their origins. At least he won't be proud of his origins.
Although Dumbledore didn't say it, he still said this...
So he didn't understand why the Gaunt family were so obsessed with the world of Muggles. But today, when I see that the current ship is very different from decades or even more than ten years ago, I suddenly understand something.
"I don't care about these new things, Professor."
Luke took a small ball out of his pocket. The silent barrier unfolded.
"It's just a big ship. To put it bluntly, its convenience is not even as convenient as those portkeys with the longest distance. We are going to the United States, and a few more portkeys will only get us there."
Teleport from one place to another, and then keep teleporting. Is there a limit to the distance of a portkey? It would be nice to have a few more. It's just the difference between one direct trip and several trips. The time is still much faster than taking a boat.
"What I care about is their innovative concept teaching. How can we make these things change rapidly? Is it just to simply encourage innovation, or are there other supporting measures, or are there other deep-seated things?"
"Professor, is there any difference between the wizarding world more than ten years ago and now? The only difference is that there is no Voldemort. Is there any difference between the wizarding world decades ago and now? The only difference is that there is no Grindelwald. Hundred Ten What about years ago? It was the same..."
"You guys have been watching these things that I find annoying even after hearing them all my life. You really impress me!"
There was unabashed sarcasm in Luke's words.
It stands to reason that Dumbledore should be very angry, after all, Luke is already denying some people's lives. But he strangely felt that he didn't feel any anger. Now
On the contrary, he was very calm. In his calm state, he was actually seriously thinking about whether what Luke said was right or not.
Luke looked at Dumbledore who was deep in thought and let out a long sigh of relief.
Damn it, values have become a habit. If it weren't for the improved ability to control emotions, which can now have a considerable impact on Dumbledore, he should be hung up and beaten by Dumbledore now.
But only he can say this kind of thing. When those with vested interests begin to reflect, some people will always reflect as well.
Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and finally when they boarded the ship, he looked at the ship and actually nodded.
"Maybe you have a point, Luke."
These slightly old words rang in Luke's ears, making Luke almost choke on his own saliva.
Dumbledore actually agreed with his idea, which was completely different from mainstream thinking, was feasible to a certain extent, and had even begun to be implemented?
Is this really the Dumbledore he knows?
When he thought of this, Luke was suddenly stunned. Is the Dumbledore he knows the complete Dumbledore? It's hard to say... Professor McGonagall, who has been friends with him for decades, dare not say that he fully understands such a person. Why did he arrogantly think that Dumbledore must be the person he imagined?
He may be stuck in a rut. But there must be a reason behind this...
"But, Luke...you have to know that life is precious." Dumbledore didn't pay attention to Luke's eyes and just said silently, "You have to understand this. Everyone's life is precious. If What do you want to do? But if it costs people’s lives, then I think you’d better consider all possibilities.”
Luke could hear the subtext. Although it is not a clear statement. But it was an unexpected surprise.
"I will try my best not to let you take action, Professor."
Luke had a reserved smile on his face. Although there is a bit of a playful smile on his face, the seriousness in his eyes is not fake after all.
Of course, he wanted to make these unnecessary sacrifices in his heart, but if things really got to that point, he didn't know what choice he would make.
Dumbledore looked deeply at Luke, then nodded.
No one knows what is going on in his mind. But Luke knew that at this moment, he and Dumbledore had reached a tacit understanding to some extent.
You can tell me that as long as you don't commit mass murder, I can turn a blind eye.
I'm also interested in your ideal world. If the means are not extreme, I would also like to see such a world.
"Are you not going too far... You are so kind, Professor. I don't want anyone to bleed."
Luke sighed in his heart, how much of a shadow did his sister's death leave on Dumbledore?
………………
Huang Mao looked at the people at the boarding area with an expression of boredom.
But when two people, an old man and a young man, appeared in his sight, he was suddenly stunned.
The old man's face was so familiar. But the costume was so alien. He was confused for a moment.
But just when he was about to take a look, the two people just disappeared from the place.
Huang Mao frowned, his face full of confusion.
"Is it my imagination?"
"How could Albus Dumbledore be on a ship like this?"
How could such a bright and great wizard, worshiped by students and respected by nobles, appear in such a place?
Muggle ships, in the eyes of those people, are not much cleaner than toilets.
In the cabin, the white-haired young man looked at the box on the bed with a slightly dull expression.
Finally, he sat up from the chair, and the expression on his face gradually became blurred.
In the small cabin, there seemed to be
The melodious singing echoed. But the sob-crying singing voice was looming, making it hard to hear it clearly.
He approached the box step by step. His expression finally changed from confused to obsessed.
"you are mine……"
An unconscious murmur came from his mouth. The sound was so dry, like a traveler who had been hiking in the desert for a long time without drinking any water.
When he said it was placed on the switch of the box. The box suddenly glowed blue.
The blue light knocked the white-haired young man away. Hit the wall.
The white-haired young man seemed to have woken up from a dream, slurping his clothes loudly. His face was full of confusion and panic.
Finally, his emotions calmed down. Looking at the box, his eyes were still panicked.
But within a few seconds, his eyes became blurry again. Fortunately, this time, he had experience and slapped himself hard at the beginning.
Taking a long breath, the white-haired young man said viciously: "You are such a nuisance!"
After saying that, he took out a cigarette and walked out of the cabin.
The box just stayed on the bed, motionless. But in the room, the faint singing voice still echoed.
At the same time, under the turbulent sea, the original calm was also broken...
