Luke ultimately decided to err on the side of caution.
When all situations point to the same goal, this may be an answer or a trap.
He thought it was all too much of a coincidence.
Whether it is a book that appears suddenly and has never been discovered before. Or a reminder from the basilisk.
Everything seemed to be urging him to rush to the secret room to inherit the inheritance that should belong to him. But Luke was in no hurry.
His attitude toward these legacies was never necessarily mine. He's interested in legacy, but that doesn't mean he's going to take huge risks for it. The risk lies in places where entry has not been explored and a lot of information is unclear.
The place where the Big Four hid their inheritance, Luke didn't believe that such a place would not have high-strength protection. He couldn't guarantee that these deceased people really had no nostalgia for the real world. Be careful, cautious. The wizarding world was indeed a children's story in its previous life. But this does not mean that when Luke can really enter this world, he will still treat this world as a child's world.
Probably only time-travelers who can't survive three chapters would think so.
Not to mention how many times Dumbledore and he went back and forth to test each other before they gradually trusted each other. Now let him make a choice that goes against his plan because of some inexplicable omen. It's really unlikely.
Moreover, as long as he is not anxious, someone else will definitely be anxious.
Luke, who was systematic, didn't care about these legacies at all. He can still become the strongest by relying on the system. Luke, who is strong without desire, naturally chooses to play the safest defensive counterattack.
Of course, when defending, you have to be a turtle with its head shrinking, and when you counterattack, you have to be as fast and accurate as a turtle infiltrating and biting someone.
Several days passed leisurely like this. Luke's little life was uneventful.
In addition to normal classes every day, I practice magic every day, communicate with the connections I have made in the senior year, and study soul protection magic.
His level of knowledge about magic is sufficient. It is indeed difficult to create your own magic. But after having Hufflepuff's "Searching for Souls", an introduction to soul magic, he didn't need to look for additional ideas and principles.
Of course, these known ideas and principles still inevitably require demonstration over and over again.
After all, the summer vacation left a deep mark on Luke's body and heart. His high degree of vigilance is one of the manifestations.
At school, one classmate after another began to be subtly affected by Luke's ideas. Among them, the second grade is the most popular. First grade is by far the worst.
After all, these children who have just started school are still under the heavy influence of their parents. It will only take a while for Luke's thoughts to have a profound impact on them.
And just today, when he was making contact, his attention was finally attracted by the noisy crowd.
Of course, he wasn't the only one whose attention was drawn. A group of students gathered at the entrance of the Quidditch pitch and watched the dispute taking place.
Luke had a vague impression of this scene. It seems to be part of the plot, it seems that Hermione was severely humiliated by Malfoy.
But Luke glanced twice and found that Hermione was not among the crowd. The people who were having a heated argument were Malfoy and Ron.
"Wes, come on! Who do you have to judge my behavior!"
"Just because I am a pureblood! I am also a noble! Malfoy! Apologize! If you said that your apology is only for people with the same status as you! Then apologize to me!"
The two of them were red-faced because of the argument, and Ron's red hair stood on end because of his anger, like a burning flame.
Although Malfoy opposite could be seen blushing due to anger or excitement, the expression on his face was still as calm and sarcastic as possible.
Luke noticed that Harry on the side looked very much like Ron, who stepped forward to grab the red-eyed bull. But he couldn't get involved at all.
Because Ron had one hand pointing at Malfoy with the broken wand. To be honest, Harry wasn't sure if the wand would hit him out of stress if he stepped forward to touch Ron's hand.
Ron's wand is looking very strange now. Last term Luke gave him money and he got a new wand. But this new wand still unfortunately broke in the violent destruction of the Whomping Willow.
It just so happened that it wasn't Christmas yet, so Luke wouldn't give him a gift. And if Harry gave a gift now, Ron wouldn't accept it. After all, Harry is a friend, and Luke... Luke almost feels like an elder.
And his brothers also have strong opinions on him because of the speeding incident. At present, they will not give him any funding to buy a new wand. And Ron couldn't help but come to his brothers to borrow money. So I could only use this broken wand.
As for his other hand, it was already held tightly by a girl who looked pretty good but had an oversized figure.
Although the girl's face was full of timidity and fear. But Luke could still see the light pink and red colors on her body...
This seems to be... the girl who has always liked Ron?
There really is no shortage of wives.
Luke didn't have anything to complain about, so he stepped forward and saw Ernie MacMillan of Hufflepuff.
"Ernie!"
Luke called out to the boy who was handsome, a little pudgy but had a quiet temperament.
Ernie followed the sound and looked over. After realizing it was Luke, he walked towards Luke's direction.
The relationship between the two has always been very good. Ernie agreed with Luke's statement. In other words, the rhetoric of pure-blood glory suits him very well. Therefore, the heir of the Macmillan family very consciously and voluntarily spread this saying in Hufflepuff.
"Hi, Luke! You've been invisible these days."
Ernie launched into a wave of merciless complaints about Luke. When Luke started studying magic in earnest. The whole person's actions began to become irregular. No one knows when inspiration will come. When inspiration comes, quickly find a place to experiment, or stay where you are and seize the moment when inspiration strikes.
But Luke's inspiration comes more frequently than others. So I often can’t find anyone after class.
Hufflepuffs had very little time with Slytherins this term, so Ernie's chances of seeing Luke were even fewer and more uncertain.
After listening to Ernie's words, Luke smiled helplessly and said, "I have been busy with some things recently. What's going on?"
"It's okay. Despite the fierce quarrel, in fact, the two of them won't be angry after calming down for a while."
Ernie waved his hand with a smile in his tone. Apparently he was amused by the reason for the two people's quarrel.
"Originally, Gryffindors were training on the Quidditch pitch. But the Slytherin team members came over with a note from Professor Snape to seize the pitch. They said they wanted to train their new Seeker. "
After Luke heard this, he finally restored the plot to a more or less complete state in his mind.
"So the Seeker is Malfoy?"
"That's right. You saw it too. The Nimbus 2000 that was just replaced last year has now been replaced with Nimbus 2001. By the way, I remember you replaced it for them last year, right?"
Ernie asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.
Luke nodded: "Indeed, but since they changed their clothes..."
The ownership of the thing should logically belong to him. In other words, he has the right to control these brooms again.
Ernie put his arm around Luke's shoulders and said with a smile: "How about it? Do you want to consider giving this thing to our Hufflepuff team?! We can even shout your name when we win!"
Luke shook his head when he heard this and said: "I am a student of Slytherin. What's the point of asking you to call my name when you win."
Ernie was stunned for a moment: "Yes. But if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that you were a student of Slytherin."
Luke smiled: "This is perfect. I will donate these brooms to the school. It happens that the brooms in the school's flying class are also about to be replaced."
"That's not enough."
"Then just buy a few more."
Ernie looked at Luke's indifferent expression and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Well, you have money, and what you said makes sense. As for what happened next, Harry and Draco bickered regularly. But this time they had to compete for space, so the words were more intense. Ron was helping, but You also know that Draka is really good at talking."
At this point, Ernie seemed to have thought of something interesting: "In the end, Lavender Brown, the girl next to Ron, broke his defense with just one sentence."
Speaking of this, Ernie followed suit and said in a feminine tone: "But Harry didn't buy himself into the team with money!"
When Luke heard that the meaning of these words was very different from what he remembered, he was really impressed by the relative stability of the world. His influence on the plot is not small anymore. But the world line is still trying its best to correct things in the direction of his memory.
Of course, there are good and bad aspects to this matter.
"I guess Draco's breach of defense was only temporary. It was a bit difficult for him to talk to Harry and Ron who were used to arguing with him. But talking to a little girl..."
Luke couldn't even think about that scene. Malfoy didn't need to use insulting words like the Mudblood. He could make a little girl cry with normal taunts.
Ernie nodded, and then said: "You can guess the rest. Ron has a rather impatient temper. The girl was scolded because she helped them out, so she must have helped. And then it became like this."
Luke glanced over there again, and it was clear that the two sides were really angry. But they have seen too many such scenes. So there is no worry that the relationship between the two will deteriorate again. It's bad enough anyway.
"Why don't you go over and take a look? If you go over, they should stop making noise."
Ernie asked.
Luke shook his head: "Let's have a fight. It's not a big deal. But if a fight breaks out, help me stop them."
He patted Ernie's shoulder with his hand. He knew that Ernie was quite strong and could deal with these two people fairly easily.
Ernie gave Luke the 'ok' sign.
Then asked: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the Forbidden Forest and find a spacious place to experiment with the spell I'm researching."
Luke stated his purpose lightly, and then saw that Ernie was completely stunned.
After a moment, Ernie came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "Well, now I find that it's not easy for me to go where you go, and I can't quite understand what you are going to do. As expected, there is a layer of sadness between us. The barrier is thick.”
Luke's mouth twitched. But he didn't say anything, he just patted Ernie on the shoulder and left.
Ernie was not too disappointed or unwilling. His mentality has always been very good. And he was very happy that Luke had such abilities.
"This time it's our recognized leader!"
………………
Arriving in the Forbidden Forest, Luke did not immediately look for an open space. Instead, he headed towards Yeqi's living area first.
This is a special area in the Forbidden Forest, because thestrals are not wild, they are magical animals raised in the school for transportation.
Wild magical animals won't bother. The average student cannot see Thestrals. Even the twins who like night walks and visiting the Forbidden Forest rarely come to this uninteresting area.
In addition, the Thestral appears to be ferocious, but is actually quite gentle in temperament.
So this can be said to be the safest area in the Forbidden Forest.
At this time, Luna was sitting sideways on a Thestral, wandering in the forest.
When Luke saw this scene, he frankly felt that if the Thestral had been replaced by a unicorn, Luke would have doubted whether the Luna above was an elf.
"Are you here? Ginny's condition is not very good."
Luna said to Luke the moment she saw him. At the same time, the Yeqi under her seemed to sense the change in her mood and walked quickly in the direction of Luke.
Luke looked at the Yeqi who was close to Chi Chi, touched his big head, and then said to Luke seriously: "Tell me the details."
Luna had not sought help from Luke during this period, and now that she suddenly came to find her, Ginny's condition must have worsened.
"Ginny is often absent-minded in class now. I asked her classmates, and she occasionally can't find anyone at night. But she often goes out at night, and her roommates are used to it."
"But I feel like Ginny's situation has gotten worse. Really worse."
In fact, Luna couldn't produce any evidence. It was her instinct to let Luke step in.
But Luke still trusted this intuition, nodded and said: "Okay, if Ginny is still sleepwalking tonight, I will go and have a look."
"But before that, I do have to test out my new spell."
With that said, Luke took out his wand and said to Luna with a smile: "Are you interested in taking a look?"
Luna tilted her head: "Are you planning to use me as a guinea pig?"
Luke:…
"Of course it's impossible..."
"But if you don't test it on people, how can you be sure of the effect?"
With that said, Luna closed her eyes and said to Luke: "It's going to be used on Ginny, right? Then let me try it first."
