After listening to Taylor's description, Luke tapped his fingers on the table. Tyler knew this was when he was thinking about something he didn't want to think about.
To Luke, he didn't care what happened to Lockhart. Although Lockhart was a man of great ambition and talent, with low morals and greed for fame and fortune, in the end the worst he could do was die.
Looking at it now, he doesn't want to die even if he doesn't want to. After all, such behavior will not only be spurned by people with morals and conscience, but also the Wizengamot will reward him with Azkaban and a 100-year prison sentence.
This could indeed be a possible prison sentence for a wizard. Of course, Lockhart must be able to reach Dumbledore's level of strength.
Moreover, Azkaban has extremely easy control over its prisoners. There was no extra work required, and the daily meals were pretty good. Apart from having a little intimate contact with the Soul Eater, it was simply a day in heaven.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, but everyone inside is a talented person.
As a person with professional skills and writing skills, Lockhart might be able to write a book like "My **" if he goes in.
If it can be published, Luke will definitely buy a copy to support him. The story this time is probably his own.
Random thoughts were just random thoughts. After thinking for a moment, Luke shook his head and said, "There is no need to add fuel to the flames. Although it is not a casual move, it was not something that was planned. It was done too deliberately. On the contrary, it is not beautiful.”
"There is no need for the families of the victims to provide deliberate guidance. Our original intention is not to support justice. It is enough for the reputation to fall on oneself. There is no need to be greedy."
After listening to Luke's words, Taylor nodded to indicate that he understood.
Originally, she wanted to dig deeper into the contents of this diary and grab more. However, there is some truth in what Luke said. If you bite off more than you can chew, if you do something too deliberately, you will be easily caught by someone with serious intentions.
"Forget it." Taylor responded, then glanced at Luke and asked seriously, "Have you settled everything over there?"
Luke didn't nod or shake his head, he just frowned: "Those things you want to say about Voldemort have been solved. In other words, unlike last year, this year's Voldemort has been in my trap from the beginning. , follow the path I marked for him. Although I wasted a lot of energy in the process, it was more of me asking for trouble."
Whether it is the development of new spells or the exploration of secret rooms, Voldemort can at most serve as a trigger in these matters. Even without him, Luke would have done these things sooner or later.
It would be better to say that because of all the trouble he has caused for himself, Luke's gains so far have far exceeded his original plan.
"But..." Luke instinctively felt something was wrong, "To be honest, I feel like I will definitely have some trouble this semester."
In the original work, the most important thing this semester is the attack of the basilisk. The matter of the secret heir lasted almost until the end of the term.
But here, as soon as Mrs. Norris's incident happened, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. To be honest, many students feel that the professors are just making a fuss out of a molehill. It’s just a cat. Why does it need to involve so much effort?
The professors knew the danger of the basilisk, but they still seemed a little reluctant when facing Luke's blockade order. After all, they, like the students, also like a free and carefree atmosphere.
Whether they are professors or students, they all essentially like to take vacations.
And the matter was settled so early. It doesn't mean Luke will be able to spend his second year peacefully.
First of all, he still had some trivial matters, such as the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, and Peeves. Furthermore, there are external forces to contact.
Secondly... he always felt that a certain unscrupulous principal wouldn't want to see him too idle. After all, when people are free, they tend to find trouble. Luke is a lazy person. If he really wants to find something, it will definitely be a big deal. This characteristic was clearly understood by Dumbledore, who had been with him for almost the whole summer.
pass.
Although they are in school now, the forces that Luke has gathered or taken refuge in cannot directly participate in the affairs of Hogwarts. But that doesn't mean he can't make some big news.
For the harmony and tranquility of Hogwarts. In order to prevent Luke from replacing Voldemort as the number one destroyer of Hogwarts, Dumbledore will definitely find something for Luke to do.
But Luke didn't think of anything he could do for a while.
"I don't think so much. It's just a little troublesome at best. There are definitely benefits."
Luke still has this trust in Dumbledore.
Taylor's expression was not so optimistic, and her attitude towards Dumbledore was still lukewarm. Luke was happy to be friends with Dumbledore, and she would not stop him from using each other. But to say how much she trusted Dumbledore was a complete joke.
"As long as you understand. Shall I go find Gemma-senpai and report this matter to the newspaper?"
Taylor asked, she could leave this task to her, send someone to the West, and put Lockhart in the coffin and bury it with her own hands. And it’s not strenuous, it’s just smooth.
But Luke still shook his head: "Leave this matter to others, just so he can get in touch with Gemma."
"That Eric Wenger?" Taylor frowned as he recalled this person, "It feels a little unreliable."
He comes from a small family, and his family members seem to buy alchemy materials. It is said that the Wenger family has close contacts with many big nobles, and it seems that they have the idea of raising their status in the noble circle to a higher level.
Thinking about it this way, Eric Wenger's surrender to Luke is probably not an agreement with the concept. Instead, he simply wanted to use Luke as a springboard to help his family climb up.
Although Taylor usually doesn't say it, he doesn't think highly of such people. After all, I, Hermione, Gemma, Malfoy, the Weiss twins... all came for Luke's ideas, at least part of them. It's not just for any benefit.
Luke could sense Tyler's displeasure. After all, Eric Wenger will graduate this year, and then go out and at least become Gemma's assistant. Even becoming equal to Gemma.
But this person's attitude towards Luke cannot be the same as Gemma's. Gemma is truly her own person.
But Luke smiled and rubbed Taylor's head: "You are a prophet, can't you even look past such a small thing?"
"I don't care why Eric joined me at all. On the contrary, it is a good thing to ask for something from me. There is an old saying in the East, called "A thousand gold buys a horse's bones." To me, Eric is Horse bones. "
Facing Luke's pull, Taylor shook his head without hesitation: "If you don't understand, don't tell me. Gemma will naturally keep an eye on him after he goes out."
Luke nodded, Gemma's growth during this period was not simple. Judging from the recent intelligence, old Lance is about to be taken advantage of by Gemma. Not to mention that the business is getting bigger and bigger, Luke is very surprised by the speed of establishing the intelligence network.
"Send Eric over and let Gemma look at the arrangements. Eric's talent is good. Since Gemma said she is short of someone, then give her someone who can take advantage of it..."
Luke answered indifferently. He didn't care what purpose Eric had. Whether he could truly become his own person or not would depend on the subsequent development.
In itself, these senior students, whose relationship is not too deep, are not the main force for him to fight for. At most, the group of twins will be the starting point for recruitment.
[In view of the general environment,
He didn't even bother to win over Percy. Dealing with Percy is a very simple matter. According to Luke's current energy, he can easily arrange this man who is dedicated to his career.
But...At that age, Percy already had his own ideas, and it was too late to change. And if you want to lure him for profit, it will be no different from Eric Wenger. So it's not necessary.
Taylor nodded, yawned again, and then said
: "Are you okay? If nothing happens, would you like to see Professor McGonagall? I think she was worried about you last night."
Taylor recalled last night's sudden appearance of Professor McGonagall, and his openness for Luke's sake. During the questioning process, he repeatedly asked whether Luke's plan would be dangerous.
At that time, Hermione wanted to tell Professor McGonagall directly about Luke's whereabouts. Let her look for it and see it by herself, so that she can really feel relieved.
But Hermione was also a smart girl. Looking at Professor McGonagall's worried expression, she was sensible and didn't really say anything. Obviously, as an elder, Professor McGonagall was worried that if she participated, it would cause chaos to Luke's plan. He was also worried that if he didn't go, Luke would encounter some difficult situation to deal with.
After all, the opponent is Voldemort, even Luke was prepared. From the perspective of Professor McGonagall and others who have experienced the terror of Voldemort, it is better to be careful and careful.
Of course, none of the three people at that time knew that Luke had already watched the three of them connect from a distance before turning back to talk to Dumbledore.
When Luke heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face. In the beginning, I gave Professor McGonagall research notes to win over him. In the subsequent interaction, the relationship between the two people became unpredictably harmonious. Now they are really the elders and juniors.
Professor McGonagall treats Luke like a grandchild. Luke also sincerely respects Professor McGonagall as an elder.
"I will. I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to get involved last night. I didn't tell her because there wouldn't be anything big going on last night. There was no need to trouble her."
Luke didn't know who he was explaining to.
Taylor sealed the snack bag with the wand in his hand, and then said: "No matter what, you'd better explain it. Professor McGonagall is a little worried after all."
She was actually quite envious of Luke. Although Luke has no relatives, the relationship between him and Professor McGonagall has reached such an extent that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are family members.
She has her grandma by her side, and if she is the same as Luke, she is really not sure if there will be someone like Professor McGonagall. Not every orphan has such good luck.
Luke scratched his head in distress: "I know..."
With that said, he stood up, waved to Taylor and walked out.
Don't delay, just do it as soon as you mention it. This will save you from procrastination and procrastinating again and again, and small things will become big things.
Taylor looked at Luke's leaving figure and showed an indifferent smile that would never be shown in front of anyone except Luke and his grandma. Then he packed up his things and walked towards his dormitory again.
Originally she thought she had slept enough, but she didn't expect that she would still be so sleepy after warming up with Luke for a while, so she might as well go and have a good sleep.
"Speaking of which, Hermione...won't be forced to go to class..."
As Taylor went upstairs, he couldn't help but think of Hermione, so his face became slightly embarrassed.
She knew as soon as this question popped up that it must be like this. Let’s not talk about Hermione’s ability to skip class without being held accountable, or to ask for a leave of absence from the teacher. Just because of her own personality, she wouldn't allow herself to take leave at this time.
After all...he still has to go to O score.
"If Luke and I are not here, it might not be bad news for Hermione... I hope. Ha~"
Saying this, she yawned again. Shaking his head, he opened the door and entered his dormitory.
On the other side, Hermione was making a potion. While pouring coffee into his mouth. Neville, who was watching on the side, was a little horrified.
"Hermione, you don't have to be so anxious."
"No! Potions class without Taylor! I have to seize the moment!"
Snape on the podium saw this, and the muscles in his face twitched. He never liked Hermione very much. But Hermione's talent was pretty good and she didn't work hard enough, so she wasn't too annoying.
And now
... He was sure that if this little girl didn't have any other trivial matters, the final achievement would be quite good.
………………
Luke walked in the hall, also yawning. Of course, his mental state was much better, mainly because he was used to cultivating immortality.
Originally, he wanted to go see Harry and Ginny first. After all, if nothing else goes wrong, at least today, these two people will stay in the infirmary, receiving examination and treatment from Madam Pomfrey.
Harry was fine, Luke was sure there was nothing wrong with him. As for Ginny, she might have to stay a few more days. Of course, tomorrow at the latest, when her body's energy is almost restored, she should wake up. However, given that there is a problem with her soul, Madam Pomfrey will not let her leave easily.
However, since what Taylor said really made sense, and Harry was really not in a hurry, he decided to go check with Professor McGonagall first to make sure he was safe.
And at this moment, he saw a gray figure hiding half-exposed behind a pillar in the corridor.
