Professor McGonagall looked at the thing in front of her with confusion on her face.
Picking up the small statue on the table, she frowned and asked, "Where did you get the black magic item? It was dug out of your family's treasure house."
The little gorgon statue in my hand is not common in the wizarding world. Instead, you will occasionally hear legends about Gorgons in the Muggle world. If it weren't for the vague black magic fluctuations above. Professor McGonagall would also think that this was just an artefact that Luke found from a Muggle.
And Professor McGonagall wouldn't be surprised if anything is found in the Luke family's treasure house.
Even if Luke revealed the Three Deathly Hallows, Professor McGonagall would think it was normal.
Luke didn't know what Professor McGonagall was thinking. He said: "No, this is something I bought from a store in Diagon Alley. I want to find out the origin of this thing. I guess it is in the *** District. There may be some clues."
If it doesn't exist in the *** area of Hogwarts, then you have to look for the origin of this thing abroad. That’s not to say how powerful the statue is. The main thing is that the knowledge involved in this thing must be able to find clues. If you can't find it, then it's either the first time this thing has appeared in the UK or even in Europe. Or it involves some family secrets.
For things of unknown origin, go to the *** area and look for them, you might be able to find clues.
After listening to Luke's words, Professor McGonagall frowned even more: "This is a black magic prop used in rituals. I know you have a sense of propriety. But you still have to be careful... there are some books in the *** area, don't use them. Talk about the knowledge inside. They are dangerous in themselves."
The book itself is also a kind of magic prop.
Especially the magic books of dark wizards are not only the collection of what they have learned and felt throughout their lives, but also their weapons, the gifts they leave to future generations, and even the tools they use to seek longevity or pursue the truth. Backhand.
The books in non-Japanese areas have naturally been evaluated by successive principals and professors, and there are no dangerous books.
Even slightly dangerous books. For example, "Advanced Dark Magic" that seals souls into books. The soul sealed in it is a little joke of the creator. It is also a protection for those who come after us. If there is no way to deal with the remnant soul, then it is better to stay away from high-level black magic.
And deep in the *** zone, there are indeed many very dangerous magic books.
There are some grimoires in there, and it's not just the contents that are dangerous. Books themselves are not something that little wizards can deal with.
Professor McGonagall knew with a little thought that Luke was definitely not going for simple black magic. No clues were found in the Gunter family's library. Professor McGonagall really couldn't say whether there was any danger in it.
"Don't worry, Professor. I will take care of it."
Luke had a serious expression on his face, with no careless thoughts.
He knew very well that his intuition told him that the origin of this thing must not be simple. You might find some clues in the *** area.
Intuition is also an important part of wizards' judgment. Many wizards are willing to trust their intuition, and even restrain their rationality and trust their intuition when making decisions. ….
Although Professor McGonagall was a little uneasy. But he still gave Luke the note.
When she was about to give the note to Luke, she suddenly took it back, picked up the quill and started writing and drawing on it again.

"You go find the book and bring it to my office to read."
With that said, she handed the revised note to Luke and said seriously: "With me here, even some dangerous books will be fine."
This is the benefit of having a good relationship with your teacher to a certain extent. There are rules, and there are loopholes. It just depends on whether you want to exploit them, or whether you can exploit them. If this was a normal student, Professor McGonagall would have sent him back directly. A little wizard wants to enter
Deep in the *** zone. That's to play with your own life!
The professors are very careful about every approval note in the *** area. Often, during a whole school year, the four colleges could not give out four slips from the *** area.
The one given to Luke now is naturally because Luke's strength is worthy of trust. Of course, a good relationship is also very important.
Luke chuckled. Of course he would not be polite to Professor McGonagall, so he immediately put the note into his arms.
"I'll come find you when I find the book."
Professor McGonagall looked at his playful and smiling expression and said angrily: "Let's go, let's go. I haven't learned anything well from following Dumbledore during the holiday."
I have to say that Luke's playful and smiling expression is really similar to the way Dumbledore looked when he was trying to be cute and get through certain things.
She knew that Luke had spent the summer with Dumbledore. But I really didn't expect that the two people would have such a profound impact on each other.
Obviously, the relationship between the two people should be much better than he originally thought.
Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief. Last year, she was not a fool and could see that Luke and Dumbledore were fighting secretly.
Now the two of them looked like they could only wear a pair of trousers, which completely subverted her understanding of their relationship.
However, it is always a good thing.
After watching Luke leave, Professor McGonagall once again immersed herself in the road map in front of her.
"If we take this route, the fur will also move towards the metal texture? No...why did this little guy go on such a completely different trajectory in this class???"
The unnamed explosion master just wanted to say: "Professor, youknothing..."
A top student will not understand the pain of a bad student.
……………………
Luke looked particularly relaxed with the note in his hand. After all, although school has only been open for two days, things are already on track.
But he was also thinking as he walked.
Do you want to enter the secret room in advance?
The biggest problem with entering the secret room in advance is that it is easy to alert the snake.
If Tom is frightened, will he jump over the wall? If he really let go of the troublemaker, it would be difficult for Luke to deal with it.
"So we still have to find a magic spell that can protect Ginny's soul..."...
Luke was somewhat distressed. After all, this kind of magic is rare in the entire magic world. Not even Dumbledore.
This time he went to the *** area. In addition to finding information about the statue of the Gorgon, he also had a very important purpose of finding the magic spell about the soul. There is a question mark as to whether there is a magic spell to protect the soul in the *** area.
"Snake seems to be in trouble. Would you like Peeves to help?"
A voice with a slight smile sounded in the air.
Luke raised his head and saw Peeves' head hanging upside down from the ceiling, looking at him with a playful expression on his face.
Luke doesn't like Peeves, but he doesn't hate him either. He knew that Peeves knew a lot about the secrets of Hogwarts. Even the two ghosts, Bloody Barrow and Ravenclaw's daughter, Lady Gray, one of the Slytherin students, didn't know as much about Hogwarts as Peeves did.
While chatting with Dumbledore, Dumbledore guessed that Peeves was the collective emotion of Hogwarts. It is a special soul formed by the resistance, pranks and even malice of the students here. In essence, he is not a ghost. Not even of the soul.
This was denied by Luke on the spot. When Dumbledore asked Luke why, he said it was intuition.
In fact, Luke, who can feel emotions, knows that Peeves is not a collection of emotions. Although I'm not sure if Peeves is a ghost or not. But it has absolutely nothing to do with emotions.
He is a genuine soul.
But the way of birth is a mystery.
Luke looked at Pippi in front of him
Ghost asked: "Do you have any idea?"
"Of course. How could the great Lord Peeves be helpless when faced with such a trivial matter?!"
Peeves emerged from the ceiling triumphantly. But he still didn't straighten his body. Instead, he folded his hands behind his head and floated upside down until his head was parallel to Luke's head.
"So...what's the price?"
Luke asked in a not very good tone, taking a few steps back. It's not because of anything else, but because it reminds me of the movie I watched in my previous life, the classic scene in Spider-Man. He always wondered if Peeves would kiss him the next moment.
Even though I knew it was just random thoughts, I still felt a little nauseous.
Peeves looked at Luke's disgusted expression.
Are you serious about taking half a step back?
You are begging me to do something!
"Don't think too much, there is no such curse, I have my own way." Luke said with a calm expression, as if he understood what Peeves was thinking.
Peeves sneered: "That doesn't matter. Excuse me. You can go first."
The kid still doesn't know what nonsense he said in front of Lord Peeves... Oh, hey, he's really gone!
After hearing what Peeves said, Luke turned and left. Just kidding, he was really sure of accomplishing his goal without hurting Ginny.
It would be nice to have such a curse, but it doesn't mean there's no way around it.
He could still be threatened by Peeves today.
"No! Stop!"
Peeves' anxious voice sounded. Luke stopped and turned to look at Peeves, who was a little angry. The expression on his face was neither sad nor happy. ….
"To be honest, Peeves, don't tell me whether you want to use this spell to negotiate terms with me. Even if you give me this spell for free, I still have to weigh whether I dare to use it or not."
Magic spells are not to be used casually. After checking the information, I found out that the spell Voldemort taught Luke last semester was a special black magic that was very powerful but could make people lose control of their emotions.
Peeves' person... ghost quality is definitely better than Voldemort's... but there are limits.
Peeves looked at Luke, who looked distrustful, and said with an unhappy expression: "Are you kidding me? I'm a ghost, and I can sell you a fake soul spell!"
His words didn't make Luke let his guard down. Luke still looked at him with calm eyes.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't want to say it, I'll go back to eat and sleep." Luke glanced at his pocket watch, "We are people who never carry stress to the next day."
"I'll give you a spell and you go open that door!"
Peeves didn't care about him anymore. When talking to someone like Luke, it’s really a matter of words. When he doesn't like you, his behavior is really annoying.
"not open."
This time Luke really turned around and left. What spell could be worth the risk he took? Even if you put out the Elder Wand to make a deal, Luke wouldn't take the risk.
He was not sure that he would be completely safe in the small door of the Room of Requirement. So even if he is really curious, he will restrain his desire to explore.
Not to mention the door that he found when he was competing with Peeves, which gave him a sense of fatal danger.
He still has to wait for a useful person to realize his ideal.
Before the pureblood could become great again, he became a cat killed by curiosity. This is a real case of dying before leaving the battlefield.
He wouldn't do such a stupid deal.
"Come back! Just wait! Nothing will happen!"
Peeves looked at Luke's back without looking back and was so anxious that he almost scratched his head. But he couldn't catch up. He felt that if he caught up now, Luke might attack him directly and then force him to ask for the spell.
Although he was sure he wouldn't say it. But it seemed that there was no need to receive that good beating.
"No oil or salt is allowed to enter
little snake. "
Peeves said bitterly.
But there was nothing he could do against Luke. He could feel that the little snake's combat effectiveness was not even a little bit stronger than last year. Not holding himself down on the spot was already a sign of caution.
"well--"
It seems that the mission has to continue to wait for the opportunity.
Peeves was a little helpless.
Luke didn't feel any regrets. He ended up basically being on the same page with Peeves last school year. Peeves didn't mess with him, and he didn't compete with Peeves. Because this is of no benefit to him at all.
Peeves can get pleasure from the battle of wits and courage, but he only loses precious energy and time.
Now that Peeves has come to his door, he acts like I have already laid a trap for you, just jump in and Peeves will fill the hole. If he can believe Peeves' lies, then he is a ghost.
If you don't have the energy to compete with this, you might as well think carefully about whether it is better to open the secret room in advance.
So, after thinking about the time for a meal, Luke decided to sleep in the dormitory.
No rush, no rush. The Basilisk's urgency is the same as Peeves' initiative.
The less anxious Luke was, the more anxious they became.
Anyway, there is no place for them in Luke's plan. Having them is, at most, the icing on the cake.
At this time, the wisest thing to do is to wait and see.
So, after Luke had a good sleep, after class the next day, he went straight to the *** area. .
