Sitting in front of the desk, Luke tapped the pen on the table with the cap in his hand.
There was a piece of paper, an envelope, and a stamp on it.
He is used to using quills, but he still always carries a pen in his room. Along with it, there are several ballpoint pens placed on the table.
Although these Muggle-related items are not contraband in Hogwarts, if you use them on a daily basis, you will be laughed at. Fortunately, Luke received special treatment. When he was assigned to the dormitory, he had a single room. Not only is it spacious, but it also maintains privacy.
With his tongue against the roof of his mouth, Luke frowned with a thoughtful expression on his face.
During class today, Beth Rich's words and attitude surprised him. But this is not the point. After all, the strength of the Liqi family is not weak. If you rely on the Nott family, you want to climb up. You can also climb up if you rely on yourself.
Strictly speaking, his current power cannot be compared with the Nott family, which still owns a large area of land. In terms of money alone, there is no comparison. Although Luke is rich, he only has an uninhabitable old house and a wooden house in the forest.
Apart from this, all that remains are the properties that the Lance family gave away at that time.
But the problem is that all those properties were handed over to Gemma by Luke. When Gemma can grasp everything, she will assign these industries to the people below to manage.
There were too few people Luke could trust.
None of the older members of the Twenty-eight Family who were close friends with him actually followed him. This is why Luke has almost given up recruiting people above the fourth grade. The fourth and third graders just choose the best to make friends.
Everyone has a good future, there is no need to take this risk with you.
In other words, Luke's authority was not important in their eyes. Just a little kid.
However, after all, the Li Qi family is not the twenty-eight deep-rooted family. You know, after the Gaunt family died out and Luke was reborn, he deeply felt the preferential treatment the Gaunt family would receive in the wizarding world.
This was more than ten years after the Gunter family disappeared. Even though Marvolo Gaunt had achieved that kind of virtue back then, he was still considered a respectable figure in the wizarding world, and most people didn't dare to cheat him.
The Liqi family is called nouveau riche at best, but in the eyes of the Twenty-eight Family, they are just a group of nouveau riche trying to climb the ladder. They were thinking about taking advantage of the Nott family, and the Nott family was also thinking about whether they could wipe out the Rich family.
In fact, the Li Qi family may still be at a disadvantage in the struggle. Otherwise, Beth Rich would not show kindness to him for no reason.
Of course, this is not important. What really made Luke tick was Dumbledore who was standing at the door waiting for him after he walked out of the classroom.
"what is troubling you?"
Dumbledore asked curiously.
Before Luke could speak, Dumbledore continued: "What did the students fail to do well that makes you dissatisfied?"
Luke pondered for a moment, and finally just shook his head, then suddenly smiled and said helplessly: "Professor, what are you talking about! I just couldn't figure out what some people were thinking. "
Dumbledore looked at Luke's smiling face and said nothing. He just patted Luke on the shoulder and said, "Forget it if you don't want to say it, but... don't be too upset. Think of a solution. If you really can't find it, come here." It would be a good idea to discuss it with me or Minerva."
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about Luke's reaction. Obviously he didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.
Looking at Dumbledore's back, Luke's facial features almost wrinkled together.
If he were as guarded against Luke as before, Luke would be more at ease. Now like this, so close and friendly, Luke didn't know what to do for a moment.
Luke, who has always been a soft-spoken person, is really unwilling to hurt someone who is really good to him and cares about him in a measured way.
Those should not be harmonious
He would rather offend the people he gets along with to death, and it would be best to start a fight when they meet. After all, Luke doesn't have to feel any burden when he strikes.
Now, Dumbledore has become the kind of person who trusts him. So if he betrays Dumbledore's trust in him again, he will feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, I won't miss anything important. In the face of real events, these emotions can be restrained...
But it's just restraint.
"The eyes are quite sharp..."
Luke cooed softly.
He didn't expect that he was cracking the flash shock, but Dumbledore could see the trace of disappointment when the people below him didn't react.
All I can say is that Dumbledore is indeed awesome.
Even now, Luke, sitting in the chair, still feels a little helpless when he thinks of the students' reactions.
How could he not be disappointed.
Mirrors certainly cannot reflect all light, let alone other spells. The curse thing just looks like a beam of light. In fact, it is a special form of transformation of magic power. But Flash Blast literally converts magic into a beam of light.
And using a mirror to resist easily, this is physics.
But...for such a basic physical phenomenon, after he wondered about the "basic principles", no one took up the matter. How could he not be disappointed?
"You underestimate Muggles..."
Luke shook his head and said with emotion.
A ruler is longer and an inch is shorter. Luke knew very well that this kind of thing could not be discussed in isolation, and that the flash shock was the main reason. Luke found it interesting when he came across this spell from a pile of spell books at home.
This spell is very strong, both in terms of speed and power. It can even penetrate the magic barrier with twice the result with half the effort.
But...just a mirror can block this powerful spell. The counter-spell recorded in the spell book, which is time-consuming and laborious to learn, seems so redundant in front of a small mirror.
Combining physics or other disciplines with magic will definitely produce some special effects.
But for now, scientists from the Muggle world needless to say. Most of them have no understanding of the wizarding world. Even though some of them may have heard about it from people above, those in the Muggle world know little about the wizarding world, let alone the scientists below them.
As for the students in the wizarding world...Muggle studies classes are not reliable. Professor Caredi Bubbaji is a pro-Muggle wizard who spends all his time in Muggle Studies classes preaching that wizards are no different from Muggles. But the students sneered at this, and even Luke was noncommittal about it. He didn't know why two Muggles could give birth to a wizard. But the gap between wizards and Muggles can indeed be said to be worlds apart.
To say there is no difference is a bit too far away from objective reality.
What's even more puzzling is that Professor Bubaji... is a pureblood. Although he is not a noble, he is truly a pureblood.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Luke himself has no position to say that Professor Bubaji is wrong.
Moreover, Professor Boubaji's understanding of Muggles is relatively backward and superficial. A bit of condescending speculation.
This made Luke really helpless. Judging from the performance of the students in previous classes, even those young wizards who came from Muggle families already lacked understanding of the study of physics. It stands to reason that they should not be ignorant of the principle of reflection, but no one said it, maybe because they don't know, or maybe because they don't want to look out of place.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
The superiority of the divisions lasted for thousands of years. Since their birth, they have been stronger than humans. None of them were used in the earliest times.
A thousand years ago, even a normal adult wizard could defeat a small team of witch hunters from the Holy See.
But now, the magic wand has the benefits of the magic wand, and the guns have the power of the guns.
Moreover, the offensive and defensive positions have actually changed. The shadow of nuclear peace not only hangs over the Muggle world, but also over the wizarding world.
Of course, to be precise, it was hanging over Luke alone. After all, other people... maybe few people really know what this is.
"Thinking too far ahead. It's better to deal with immediate worries first."
Luke himself knew that it was boring and he had to bring as few things from the Muggle world with him as possible during his actions. Even after Hermione studied the curse formula, she had to erase some of the "scientific" elements and paint it with a "magical" color.
This must be done. The contradiction between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy, the contradiction between pure blood and mixed blood and Muggle wizards, the contradiction between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, these three are very serious. And if the two contradictions are mixed together, it can only be said that... the big one is coming!
You can't do this, Luke knows very well.
Taking out the pen, Luke leaned on the desk and started writing on the letter paper.
"...Everything is fine here. I have been drinking milk before going to bed. You don't have to worry about it...I just don't know how you are doing now. The last time I saw you, I was only eight years old..."
The whole article is filled with words that have no nutrition and no purpose. It's like chatting with each other, and acting coquettishly.
"I never let others know of your existence. If it weren't for the postcards you send me every year, I would have to wonder if you had an accident somewhere."
As he wrote this, Luke's face showed helplessness visible to the naked eye.
"After I entered school, I did a lot of things. I made a lot of friends. Friends are all sincere. Unfortunately, my work was still a bit rough. Voldemort is an excellent target. I set the target up for myself. Okay. With such an enemy here, some people won’t look at me..."
"...I really don't know your current location. I can only send this letter to the address you last sent me a postcard. You should at least tell me where the next stop of your journey is next time. That’s good.”
"In short, I have no problem with you wandering around in the Muggle world, but I need the family's help now. If you have no problem with it, I will just send the letter..."
After finishing writing, Luke looked at the letter. In addition to the smooth sentences, it could also be considered as a sentiment. The preface did not match the follower. The first sentence was still talking about the front door building, and the next sentence was like a hip bone.
At the same time, the handwriting is much more elegant and free than what Luke used to do. Apparently I was quite relaxed while writing. The expression on his face looks quite helpless, but in fact he looks very dependent.
This meant that no one else familiar with Luke was present. Otherwise you will be surprised.
Self-reliant and confident, the mature and steady Luke has never looked like this before.
Luke knew very well that eggs cannot be put in one basket. People can't rely on just one person. The Lance family is not reliable, but they have to rely on it now. The Kane family came to their door out of nowhere. They seemed harmless, but Luke was always wary. Of course, Gemma is one of her own, but it is also true that the strong will be strong and the weak will be weak.
It's okay for the Lance family to obey orders honestly, but if they want to cause trouble, Gemma's ability to barely suppress it is already extraordinary.
The greater possibility is that she herself will suffer.
Seeing that things were on the right track, Luke knew more and more that he should take precautions.
The actions of the Liqi family made him feel a little bad. So it’s better to prepare everything in advance.
After the letter was written, Luke put it into an envelope with a silver snake pattern on a green background. After I finished writing, I took a look at the warmed paint.
He picked up a silver knife on the table and made a slight cut on his fingertips. The blood dropped into the paint. The dark green paint first turned bright red, and then returned to its original color.
After sealing it with wax, Luke stamped the envelope with the picture of the Eiffel Tower.
After finishing it, Luke threw the letter directly into a small mailbox at hand.
Next, the letter will appear in a postbox on a street in the UK, and will soon be collected and finally delivered to the address that has been written.
However, Luke himself was not sure whether there was still a recipient at that address.
Although it was written with a pen, it doesn't mean that Luke didn't do anything. A simple spell, combined with special fire paint and Luke's blood. No one can open this letter except the authenticated person. Even if it is opened, the writing on the letter paper will quickly disappear.
This is an irreversible spell, and Luke is confident that even Dumbledore will never be able to break it by force.
Leaning back in the chair, Luke looked calm, but there seemed to be a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
