"Who told you there is good news?"
Dumbledore glanced at Luke, his expression indifferent.
Luke paused. I didn't expect to get such a response at all.
"Has the situation gotten so bad? There is nothing you can do about it?"
Luke leaned on his chair and said lazily, seemingly unprepared.
Of course he knew the answer in his heart. To be honest, as long as Dumbledore didn't want to die himself, there weren't many things in the wizarding world that he would find difficult to deal with. And within the scope of Hogwarts Castle, there are really only a handful of things that he can't do.
"Can you be a little more formal?"
Dumbledore said to Luke angrily. Every time Luke talked or did something else at his place, he would always show this attitude. It looks like a puppy with its belly exposed. Demonstrate your obedience and harmlessness.
But Luke is not a dog. A dog showing its belly may really be a sign of submission. But Luke's obedience probably means he wants to give you a big reward.
Luke shrugged: "I mean it. If things really get to the point where Professor you are helpless, then I don't need to cheer up. Maybe it would be a better choice to prepare to end this matter early."
Separate the relationship and accept the punishment.
There is no way, if Dumbledore wants to get serious with Luke now, then Luke will have no ability to resist and can only be a piece of meat on the eucalyptus board. And now, although this person is not Dumbledore, Dumbledore can't do anything to him. Luke didn't think there was any good way to deal with such a thing. So instead of holding on, it's better to let it go.
Dumbledore also felt a little headache when he saw Luke like this. He is not stupid, Luke is acting like this just for people to see.
Yes, it is indeed difficult for Luke to have any room to perform when faced with a situation where he is helpless.
But if you expect this little guy to really resign himself to his fate, that's impossible.
Although everything is fate, nothing is up to you. But few people are willing to wait for death.
Luke's current situation certainly doesn't mean he's waiting for death. But there are also many things to think about and consider.
[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.
It’s more about thinking and experience.
But detailed arrangements would require a lot of energy and brain power, and that would not be suitable for Dumbledore to think about. In other words, this matter is just outside of Dumbledore's area of expertise.
This was also one of Dumbledore's own headaches.
When he was young, he felt he could do anything. And in his prime, such thoughts were not particularly arrogant. But things are different now. Time is indeed not forgiving.
Luke frowned again when he heard this.
"The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. To be honest, we are actually quite passive."
The current situation simply did not allow Luke to take any particularly large-scale actions, because that would disturb the students in the school and other people who were watching him. Luke has always been cautious, and there are not many people he can trust.
Except for a few girls, it is not easy for anyone else to have a relationship with Luke.
Leaving aside others, if Luke really does something big that will damage the power of part of the Malfoy family, then it is very debatable whether the support of the Malfoy family will continue to exist. Something happened.
Such is the union of nobles, both strong and loose.
What's more, if Luke really turns Hogwarts upside down to find the murderer, then some people will definitely say that Luke's abilities are not good enough. Now he is counting on this to further improve his reputation outside and other things.
Therefore, the scale of processing should not be too large.
They were wary of rats and cherished their feathers, but that was not the case with the attacker Katsuhisa. He has a good character for missing a single hit and escaping thousands of miles away. In this case, unless the previous employer promised a higher price, allowing them to risk their lives.
After all, adding money can be said to be a universal solution in many places.
"It's not a problem that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear. As long as he dares to show his face next time, then we will definitely be able to obtain enough information to support us in dealing with the enemy."
To put it bluntly, the biggest problem is that there is too little information. Whether it was information about Fleur, Chrissy and Jenkins, or about the attacker. Even information about the experiments Taylor was responsible for.
Dumbledore had no idea what Taylor had been studying so far. Logically speaking, he should know this kind of thing. After all, he was the principal, and when conducting experiments in the school, he always had to say hello to Dumbledore. Because Dumbledore is the administrator of Hogwarts Castle.
But it was different when Luke showed up. Just like Luke's room, there might be some special treatment somewhere. The Chamber of Secrets can be said to be the public area of Hogwarts.
After all, it is really built within the confines of Hogwarts. But if you want to say that it is Slytherin or the private property of the Gaunt family, this is not too much. After all, Snake Talk and Snake Talk are basically standard features of the Gaunt family. As for others who want to enter the lower chamber to hunt for treasure, they have to look at Luke's face.
It's no use looking at other people's faces. Without Luke's approval in entering the secret room, every step forward in the secret room would be accompanied by a life and death crisis.
Therefore, although the idea that the secret room is private property is a bit weird, it is also partially unreasonable.
Dumbledore still doesn't know what Luke's instructions to Taylor were for Taylor to study.
It actually attracted attacks from others.
Dumbledore looked at the profile of Luke who was meditating, shook his head and said, "You didn't tell the truth either. But I don't think there will be a third party joining."
"If a third party joins, it's impossible not to leave any clues."
This also made Luke relieved. Although I don’t know how Dumbledore came to the conclusion. But he also knew that he could still hear good news today.
"I think your initial thoughts may not be wrong."
Dumbledore looked at the two remaining points of magic power and said to Luke: "Fleur and Chrissy are facing each other."
We are both acquaintances. So basically any character can be determined, so the biggest doubt actually still falls on Jenkins Moore. "
Luke also nodded. Although it seems that he has returned, this time is completely different from the original one. This time, Luke and the others returned to their original position after eliminating some possibilities. It's equivalent to walking through the maze once, marking it, returning the same way, and then walking through it again.
"I guess I won't be able to find anything if I check from here."
Dumbledore drank some tea on the table and rubbed his eyes. Staying up late is very harmful to young people's bodies. The physical harm to the elderly will only be greater.
It’s true that the elderly feel less tired, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get tired easily. "If you want to find out some flaws, try checking from Beauxbatons Village."
Luke also thought about this: "I have written to Mrs. Maxim and Professor Sprout before. I hope they can help investigate this matter. I don't know when the results will be available."
Then, Luke glanced at Dumbledore and said: "When necessary, ensuring your own safety is not a priority. If the opponent's attack hits your face, I will not be afraid of fighting."
Luke's fighting ability is not weak at all, rather he is very strong, but no one can fight with him, and he doesn't know how strong he is now.
If something unexpected happened, Luke would turn around and drive away the three Frenchmen.
Furong will definitely explain it alone, but others will not have such luck.
Seeing that Luke had made up his mind, Dumbledore smiled and said, "That's right."
Then he changed his expression and said to Luke: "About Sirius..."
"Things over there are easy to solve. I don't need to worry too much. To put it bluntly, if we get to this point, Sirius himself can handle it very familiarly."
Luke said frankly to Dumbledore: "I played a little trick in this matter. But it should not be harmful. This is how things should have developed. I just flapped my wings a little."
Dumbledore's words were all spoken by Luke.
After a moment of silence, Luke took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Dumbledore: "It's up to you. I don't think the other party is really going for Taylor and her research. After all, Professor, you are Without knowing the content of the research, it is even less possible for others. Therefore, the root cause of this matter must still be mine."
"So, professor, help me protect the others if necessary. The previous attacker may not be impossible to deal with if he is left to me alone."
Dumbledore nodded after hearing this: "Your idea is also a good thing. But you have to be sure."
Luke chuckled and said, "After yesterday's contact, I don't want to be too confident."
After saying that, he turned and left Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore looked at Luke's back and took a deep breath.
Since Luke's arrival, his previous plans have been basically ruined. And he himself didn't have much time or energy to trouble Voldemort who was in the fourth and fifth categories.
If the wizarding world already has a candidate for subsequent suppressors and leaders, then Dumbledore would not have to think about using his own death to create a new leader.
Then the completely resurrected Voldemort may still be a bit dangerous. But Voldemort was torn apart, not to mention Luke, even Dumbledore didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, in the original work, Voldemort would not be used as a whetstone again and again.
Originally, Dumbledore himself was the water used for quenching. Use his death to make his chosen savior completely give up his illusions and face reality.
But now that there is a ready-made leader, it is not even necessary to cultivate him. So of course Dumbledore no longer thought about giving up his own life. However, if these ready-made leaders are not guided well, they will naturally be no less harmful than Voldemort.
So Dumbledore now
More energy should be put into guiding Luke.
If Luke is not properly guided in his growth again, leading to a bad ending. Then it would be difficult for Dumbledore to bear such a blow.
A single error of judgment on his part would put many innocent Muggles and wizards on a path of no return.
After experiencing such a thing once, that is, after failing to teach Tom well that year, Dumbledore learned his lesson, and of course he would not fail to teach Luke well again.
Dumbledore knocked on the table and looked at the two magic balls suspended in the air.
This is the remnant of magic he found. In addition to the nature of the magic given by the spell, the magic produced by each person is different. In the eyes of some people who know better, this time is the real place to distinguish a wizard.
After all, in the wizarding world, everything else is still too easy to disguise.
Luke didn't pay much attention to these two balls at the time. If he had, of course he would know that this thing was not simple.
There are really very few people who can clearly see the nature of other people's magic power.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Dumbledore's mind.
"Yes, there is still such a possibility."
