Luke knocked on the table to silence everyone who was discussing.
Everyone looked at Luke who looked calm. Apparently, Luke had an idea. In other words, even if there is no way, there is still a purpose for the next step.
"Find out who is behind it. Then teach the other person a lesson."
Luke looked at the crowd and said: "We are no longer the ones who had nothing in the past two years. We now have our own core force. We have our own followers. We have our own top combat power. Even in the near future. A large amount of mid-level combat power will also be added. Of course we can still defend passively. But of course it is not possible to try to calm down the situation when everyone is slapped in the face."
"I've always been a realistic person."
Luke reached out and patted his face.
"When I was weak, if someone could slap me on the left cheek, I would slap my right cheek as well. But when I become stronger, he won't come to me. I will look for him too."
"It just so happens that I take this opportunity to practice my skills with everyone. After all, since we are all in the same boat, it is certain that we will face many similar situations in the future. Now it is just the use that connects me and Voldemort. .When they really advertise that I am the third generation Dark Lord, how should we deal with it?"
Luke's question made everyone think.
It's just connected to Voldemort, and it doesn't even really say that Luke is Voldemort's successor. It already made them so excited. So what happens if they are indeed wrongfully accused of being new Death Eaters?
The silence didn't last long.
"When others say we are bad guys." Draco looked at Luke with a sinister look on his face, "Then we will show them the bad guys among us."
The corners of his mouth curved in a rather ferocious arc, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a hungry tiger that had found its lone prey.
When everyone looked at Draco, they didn't pay attention to the harshness in his words.
Even George and Fred, who never liked the Malfoy family, didn't say much.
In an organization, there must be people who stand in the sun and people who can walk in the dark. Like the Death Eaters, it's too extreme to think that the entire organization is a murderous maniac.
Even the senior saints of the Death Eaters, there are still people who can accompany Grindelwald to stand in the sun and run for president of the International Association of Wizards, although Luke has always felt that the organization's selection method is very embarrassing...
In the same organization of saints, there are also combatants who are used to eliminate hostile forces.
Obviously, in their understanding, Draco is the person in the organization who takes on this task. Of course, this is a part-time job. The main reason is that Draco no longer needs to contact those old nobles. His father took over his responsibilities, so Draco could only devote himself to a new track, develop a new style of play, target the pain points of the organization's actions, and fill the gaps in the organization's internal structure. Adjust your own thinking on how to perform your duties and create a new and better future.
Well, it highlights a promising future.
But everyone also understands that although Malfoy talks a lot. But he is also a person who gives orders. He, the next head of the Malfoy family, would not do the real dirty work.
"Then spread out all our power to find out. Find the person behind this. Then..." Luke stood up and patted Draco on the shoulder, "Let them see our power."
"For our glorious tomorrow!"
………………
A few days later, Luke looked at the old man beside him and asked helplessly: "No, why do you have to ask me to accompany you to pick up people?"
Dumbledore looked casual: "I just happened to run into you. Moreover, as the actual promoter of this event, you are also one of the leaders. Of course, it is necessary to welcome you here to Hogwarts." of people from other schools.”
Dumbledore's reasons were not sufficient at all.
"No, Professor. Apart from you and me, only a few people know about this matter. So I, the so-called leader, is actually hiding. And I have no intention of exposing it at all. Apart from this, I, a student, am standing here for no reason at all."
It's not that Luke wanted to be lazy, the main reason was that he really didn't think he had any need to greet this group of people. You already know the people you need to know. People you don’t know have little relationship with you. People you don’t want to know will fall into your hands sooner or later.
Is there any need for him to face such a group of people?
"You are the school director. You are also the dual school director of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons. I think it is necessary for you to welcome us together. After all, your status is enough. It can also show that we value our guests."
Dumbledore was talking serious nonsense.
He certainly didn't need Luke to tag along to greet the guests. To be honest, it’s just people who don’t know how to do it. Someone like Madame Maxime who knows Luke's true energy will definitely feel flattered.
After all, the specifications are a bit high.
Although Dumbledore has always been modest about being an excellent educator. An ordinary wizard. But this kind of rhetoric is really just self-effacing. Dumbledore was very aware of his power and his status. Be more aware of the awe that your own strength brings to others.
Putting aside everything else, he himself knows very well that once he becomes greedy for power, he will instantly become an unbearable person. Dumbledore was able to control himself from having too much power. But once he comes into contact with power, he doesn't know what will happen.
Anyway, he thinks he will not be greater than Grindelwald.
Because he always believed that Grindelwald was more selfless than him.
The main reason why he pulled Luke by his side to greet the guests like this was because they happened to meet him. He came out to greet the guests, and Luke was yawning and walking out of the cafeteria, looking lazy and content.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore immediately became furious. It was obviously the little bastard in front of me who was behind this. It is said that it is to improve the status of Hogwarts in the entire magic school world.
In fact, Dumbledore knew it all too well. This guy would definitely take advantage of everything except belonging to Hogwarts.
It was obviously for his own benefit. As a result, he and Minerva stayed up for two or three nights making plans and discussing methods. This kid eats well, sleeps well, and has fun. Recalling the dark circles on his face, Dumbledore pulled Luke over and asked him to work overtime with him.
"I also plan to ask you to work with these guys on my behalf to formulate the rules of the competition. If you want to participate yourself, it would be best to be both a designer and a player, right?"
Dumbledore easily found a way to let Luke do his work from the perspective of benefiting Luke.
It can only be said that the relationship between these two people has been able to be wary of each other from the beginning to the current level. In a certain sense, they are inseparable from each other.
Luke curled his lips, but soon regained his composure, and said casually and with a hint of pride: "That won't work, I am a fair player. You go and make the rules for this Triwizard Tournament. I promise I will not take the initiative to understand the content of the rules from other levels."
Dumbledore was also speechless for a moment. Luke still needs to take the initiative to understand? Even if she didn't say anything, Mrs. Maxim would quickly tell Luke all the news she knew.
Of course, although it is a three-witch competition between three schools. However, the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the British Ministry of Magic has taken over the formulation of the detailed rules. After all, no matter what, if the content of the competition is left to the principals of the three schools to discuss and decide. Then every wizard who is selected will have enough time to prepare for the game. This was not in line with the original plan for the game.
However, despite saying this, in every previous session, most players would still know the content of the competition in advance. There is nothing completely fair about this kind of competition.
Moreover, what if Luke really doesn’t know anything about the game? Others don't know Luke's strength, doesn't Dumbledore still know? Put together with a group of students to compete. If this is a race, if Luke asks the other runners to run 90 meters first, he will win the 100-meter race.
When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, no amount of information can make up for it.
"It seems you don't want to help at all?"
Dumbledore's tone was a little low. When Luke heard this, he immediately looked at him warily: "Professor, you don't want to do anything against me, do you?"
He certainly didn't doubt that Dumbledore would do anything to him. But he understood that Dumbledore could definitely cause many twists and turns to his original plan.
Dumbledore gave Luke a gentle smile. Luke's face turned bitter: "Professor, let's talk about it. I can help you handle part of the work. But not too much. I also have my own things to be busy with."
"After all, your job is to be a principal. I'm not a principal. It's okay to help you a little. Helping you take care of everything... there's no reason for that."
"How about you become the principal?"
Dumbledore said this suddenly and abruptly. The words came so suddenly that Luke was stunned for a moment.
"Professor, this joke is not funny."
"Maybe I'm not kidding."
Dumbledore's expression really showed no sign of joking.
"Luke, I am an old man. An old man in the truest sense of the word. If it weren't for the new motivation you gave me, I would be looking to travel to another world."
Luke was somewhat moved by what he said. After all, he gave Dumbledore the motivation to live. This kind of thing still touched Luke to some extent.
Dumbledore looked at Luke seriously: "Your appearance makes me worried about the future of the world. I have to watch you finish the job. If it succeeds, I can naturally leave with peace of mind. If it fails, I can still I have to come out to clean up the mess for you and save your life as much as possible."
The little emotion that arose in Luke's heart was instantly extinguished. Even in the end, I was still worried about him causing trouble...
"If you are willing to become the principal of Hogwarts, I fully support you. Of course, you also know the price you will have to pay at that time."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to wait for the arrival of others. After Luke was silent for a moment, he just chuckled and said, "No, professor. The position of a principal cannot move the world. I still can't give up after all."
"Maybe after I complete my mission, I will choose to be an educator like you. But before that, it's better for me to stick to my dream."
After Luke finished saying this, he added: "I hope that one day, I will take over the position of principal from you."
These words were still very sincere. Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and then nodded after a moment.
"Then I'll try my best to live."
Before Luke could be happy, he heard Dumbledore's next words.
"So in order for me to live a little longer, please help me share more work. Damn it, it's really disappointing when all the work comes to you."
Luke's face was dark: "I'm a little desperate too..."
…………
"What did you say Luke was talking to Dumbledore? Look at the expressions of the two people changing."
Hermione poked Taylor, who was lying at the window with her, preparing to see the wizards from other colleges appear.
Taylor shook his head: "How would I know? It's not surprising what either of them said."
Even if Dumbledore and Luke had an argument about how many pieces of sugar should be put in their coffee, Taylor wouldn't be surprised. The two men are similar in some ways, making them feel like they're looking in the mirror. But in fact there are subtle differences between the two people in many aspects. This difference is not big, but in each other's eyes, it appears to be extremely fatal.
Two very egotistical people want to push each other in their own direction, so some quarrels are completely normal.
"Aren't you a Legilimency? Just listen, idleness is idleness."
Hermione encouraged rather maliciously.
Taylor rolled his eyes: "Not to mention that these two people have mastered Occlumency, and I can't penetrate them at all. I can see your little thoughts without Legilimency."
What's more, Luke won't be angry at all because he used Legilimency once, okay? Luke was less defensive about her now. It's just that the memory of the past remains quite closed.
But Taylor understood. No one wants their past to be completely revealed. In the eyes of others, such a person is not much different from swimming naked.
"cut……"
Just as Hermione was about to say something, she saw a black spot approaching from the horizon and quickly growing in size.
"Flying house? Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't be that fast, right?"
Hermione looked at the huge creature strangely.
"It's a carriage... somewhat similar to the carriage when Fleur and the others came last time. But it's bigger..."
Taylor gave the correct answer. The other students surrounding him also reacted quickly.
"It's so rich..."
Ron couldn't help but sigh. After all, the cart was not pulled by cheap and easy-to-use Thestrals, but by magic rune horses that were difficult to maintain and were themselves valuable. Coupled with the extremely large carriage, the cost is definitely not low.
As soon as the rune carriage landed, Lee Jordan shouted over there.
"Look at that lake!"
The water suddenly became no longer calm. There was a commotion under the water in the center of the lake, huge splashes rose on the surface, and waves crashed against the wet lake shore - then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, like a huge plug suddenly rising from the bottom of the lake. Was pulled out...
The big ship rose out of the water, shining in the moonlight. It had an eerie, skeletal appearance, as if it were the remains of a newly raised shipwreck, and the portholes shone with a dim, misty light that looked like ghostly eyes. Finally, with a faint splashing sound, the big boat emerged completely, bumped on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the lake shore. A moment later, they heard a splash as an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap as a plank was set on the shore of the lake.
Under the gaze of all the students, Luke and Dumbledore stepped forward to greet the personnel from the two colleges.
Then he led them towards Hogwarts Castle.
