The next day, when Luke appeared in the cafeteria, the students who saw him were stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily.
Many classmates who usually considered themselves to be close friends immediately planned to come up and say hello to Luke. But Luke just smiled and kept his distance from them, and then walked towards his usual dining table without saying too much to them.
At that dinner table, most of the classmates he was familiar with were already waiting there.
"Where have you been these days?" Hermione's eyes turned red the moment she saw Luke. They were together before, and when they learned that Luke's whereabouts were unknown, they were still greatly shocked.
During these days, Hermione tried her best to tell herself that Luke must be fine. He is so meticulous in his work, how could he take a huge risk to do something that is likely to fail. And the cost of failure can be extremely costly. That's just not Luke's style.
Besides, it doesn't matter even if Luke is gone. She can still continue her research and will still stand with Taylor and the others. And Luke's wishes and visions will also be realized by them.
The first few days were relatively easy to endure, but after ten days with still no news, Luke seemed to have disappeared from the world. Hermione could only put all her energy and time into competing with research.
Research, research, research. Luke once told her that when the research on the magic circuit of memory magic is completed, he will take her to a place and then start the next step of research on the magic formula.
But by the time Hermione had sorted out the magic circuit of memory magic, Luke had been missing for more than half a month.
Hermione was not desperate. She was a little uneasy. It wasn't because he was worried about Luke. But even if you are reassured, as long as you take people into consideration, you cannot really turn a blind eye.
And now, Luke suddenly appears. She still restrained herself from losing control.
But at this time, the expression on his face still looked particularly awkward. It's like smiling happily, but also like crying in grievance.
Originally, they were very excited when they saw Luke. Others who wanted to say hello to Luke fell silent when they saw this.
They didn't know about Luke's disappearance. They thought Luke's disappearance this time was the same as before. There was something that needed him to deal with, so he went to deal with it. But this time it took a little longer. And it's slightly unsettling.
However, judging from Hermione's current performance, there are still many hidden secrets in this matter that they don't know.
At least...Luke shouldn't just be going out to do errands this time. At least it seemed like it was a pretty big risk. Otherwise Hermione wouldn't be so excited.
Fleur on the side patted Hermione's back gently, helping her calm down.
At the same time she looked at Luke with an inquiring look on her face. Naturally, her relationship with Luke was not that deep. Therefore, what she was more concerned about was where Luke went and what he did.
Luke looked at the expression on Hermione's face that was both crying and laughing, as well as the tiredness and haggard state on her face, and he felt unbearable but also felt soft at the same time. At the same time, he sighed secretly.
Logically, he said, Luke shouldn't be talking about deserving and unworthy at this point. But in fact, he clearly didn't do much, but he had unknowingly won the hearts of several girls.
But he is too young, so it would be too immature to call such an emotion love. So he has always been very restrained. If they, like Saphiel Skye, only come because of Luke's reputation, family fortune and ability, then Luke can get along with them in a more natural manner.
[In view of the general environment,
Naturally, there is no need to care about someone who is being toyed with. Even if someone is taking some advantage, it doesn't necessarily mean who is taking advantage of whom.
But if others showed their sincerity, Luke also knew very well that he would never accept it easily.
The heart is like that
Big, how can it be easily given to others? Accept the sincerity of others, but give playfulness in return. This was not something Luke's education would allow him to do. In other words, in simpler terms.
Luke hasn't learned how to be a scumbag. He will not play with other people's sincerity. So be extra cautious in this regard.
"Okay, I'm back. It's my fault this time. I shouldn't have said hello to you in advance. I was indeed impulsive, and when I think about it afterwards, I regret it."
Luke certainly had no regrets. But for a girl like this, in such a situation, why should she complain if she doesn’t have to be coaxed?
What's more, Luke did something impulsive this time. He himself thinks that the harvest is great and there is nothing wrong for him. But to others, especially those who treasured him, his handling was objectively less than thoughtful.
Wrong is wrong. Luke acknowledged this and readily accepted it.
There's nothing shameful about making a mistake, and there's no need to force yourself out of it. Especially with these people who are also very important to him, even if he fights, it is nothing.
Luke reached out his hand, leaned down, and wiped away the tears from Hermione's eyes.
Hermione's face turned red and she couldn't care less about being sad or happy. Only a heavy sense of shame remained. But he didn't let Luke stop out of shyness. He just avoided Luke's sight.
Ginny looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a sense of envy in her eyes, but she quickly came back to her senses and looked at Luna beside her. But what caught his eye was Luna's calm and unconcerned expression. So Ginny was a little confused and a little emotional.
George and Weslai winked at each other, their expressions somewhat teasing.
"Let me just say that the relationship between these two people is definitely not simple."
"I really want to see Taylor's expression now."
Draco had a look of disgust on his face, but if he looked carefully, he still had a look of envy in his eyes. Especially when I think about my experience last summer, I feel a little sad. Logically speaking, a trip to the United States would not be a bad thing for him. But he was still shocked by the habits of the country bumpkins.
The old man obviously had some thoughts about his granddaughter. As for whether he had done anything more egregious, Draco didn't know and didn't want to know. The girl was beautiful, but it didn't completely match his aesthetics, and she also made him dislike her for being a bit unclean.
But the subsequent beating he received from his father made him feel helpless and resentful. It can also be said that this is where truly siding with Luke begins.
Harry watched the actions of the two people in front of him and couldn't help but push Ron's shoulder, his expression full of excitement and blessing.
Ron also wanted to show a "stunned" smile. But for some reason, his heart felt empty at this time. It's like something has been taken away.
So he subconsciously picked up a large glass of milk on the table and drank it in one gulp.
After comforting Hermione, Luke sat in his usual seat and started eating breakfast. Everyone was eating and laughing. Luke talked about his experience during this period, telling a story that he found a clue to a certain wizard ruins and couldn't wait to go search for it. However, he encountered an accident on the way and was teleported directly to the depths of the ruins. Fortunately, he was Before transmitting, he still sent the message, so that everyone would not be too worried.
The truth is naturally not the case. However, Luke mixed many facts from his experience into this fabricated story, which made the story sound extraordinarily ups and downs and real.
Regarding the Tree of Time and Space, Luke finally decided to keep it secret. Whether time is fragile or not, Luke doesn't understand and doesn't know. If anyone here wanted to change some of their regrets, and then directly touched the tree. It’s hard to say whether you can travel through time, and it’s not certain whether you can survive.
Luke was also planning to take Dumbledore with him to strengthen the barrier tonight to prevent the breath of the Tree of Time and Space from leaking and attracting a large number of magical animals or wizards to wander around it. However, because of the barrier left by Slytherin, The boundary cannot be reached.
In short, it is better to do less than to do more.
It is naturally best to nip these accidents in the bud. As for Dumbledore, who also had regrets, and could even be said to regret certain things throughout his life, why didn't Luke stop him from approaching the Tree of Time and Space?
Because Luke still trusts Dumbledore's self-control ability.
The most important thing is that if Dumbledore really wanted to know the premise of the existence of this thing, then he would not be able to find it.
It was impossible for Luke not to say it. It was like he made it clear that he had the Resurrection Stone on hand and how to use it. The effect is not the illusion of the dead person that you can see deep inside yourself when you don't use it. Rather, it is about actually calling back the ghost from the underworld, and there is even a chance that the ghost can be directly attached to the body in this world and then resurrected.
Of course, the latter, both Dumbledore and Luke, have seen the results. It can be regarded as a dead end.
And Dumbledore was able to gain Luke's trust because of this. The Resurrection Stone was in his hand. Although Luke didn't often wear the ring, Dumbledore never asked Lux for it even though he knew it existed.
This is where the trust between the two comes from. Trust can never be expressed with words. But it can be done.
Breakfast time passed by in a flash. Everyone was very interested in the story Luke told and kept discussing it on the way to class. And at the dinner table, Hermione, Luna and Fleur all knew that Luke was lying.
But Luna's expression did not change, she didn't care about this kind of thing. Hermione was always smart and knew better than to talk or ask too many questions about this kind of thing. Furong is a beautiful girl who can deceive others. She was a little surprised, but she controlled her expression and didn't reveal anything.
The three of them saw that Luke had nothing to explain, so they walked towards their respective classrooms.
Luke hasn't been in class for a while. Slytherin's first lesson today was Transfiguration, and he took it with Gryffindor. So he walked with Hermione.
"Has your research yielded results?"
Luke asked straight to the point.
When Hermione was asked this question, she dropped a trace of the charm in her heart.
"I have completed the progress you mentioned before. I have completed the circuit structure of the more general memory spells that I can find so far. And organized them. Just like what you said, among these spells, in fact, There are some commonalities. It’s not obvious from the spell, but when a circuit is formed, it becomes obvious. But I haven’t figured out what this thing is yet.”
Luke nodded when he heard this. This progress is already quite good. As for what can be researched, Luke doesn't know. Just kidding, if he knew this, he wouldn't be at his current level of strength.
This kind of thing is originally a study that directly points to the essence of magic. It stands to reason that only wizards who have reached a certain level of ability, or have reached the end of a certain aspect, will have the mind and ability to study it.
But this time, Luke and Hermione did find some clues in a different way. As for whether this has touched upon the essence of magic. Neither Luke nor Hermione were so arrogant.
Luke was not personally involved in Hermione's research. But he knew that things would never be that simple.
Hermione, on the other hand, felt that she was shallow and ignorant the more she studied, and the more she studied, the more profound magic felt. The current wizards' understanding of magic and spells is too shallow. Only those who can create spells can understand the depth of magic's potential and its potential to be explored further.
In other words, when a wizard can create his own magic spell, he can be considered as stepping into the door of magic.
"The current level should be okay. I will take you to a place tonight. Maybe there will be some new inspiration."
After hearing this, Hermione had a surprised smile on her face.
"Is it, 'legacy'?" "
She asked quietly from beside Luke.
Luke looked at the excited and cautious Hermione and said with a smile, "Yes. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was given to Taylor for her to inherit. The things in it did help Taylor. I'm not sure whether the Room of Requirement is a trap or not. Still a legacy.
So we go tonight, mainly to test it out. "
"But don't worry. I can definitely guarantee your safety."
Hermione smiled and nodded: "I have never been concerned about my own safety."
Then she stared into Luke's eyes and asked, "So, who are you going to give the rest of the inheritance to?"
Faced with this question, Luke did not choose to answer directly, but smiled and said: "To the most suitable person."
Although he already had some confidence in his heart. But he wouldn't tell others. Even if others guessed it, he would not admit it.
Hermione didn't ask any further questions. The two of them just walked towards the Transfiguration classroom.
When Luke walked into the classroom, Professor McGonagall suddenly stood up from her seat.
"You're back?"
