Chapter 108 Ending
Hallow's Eve ends in a near-miss story.
Many years later, when historians study Luke Gaunt, the historical 'Shining One', they will often take what happened in this auditorium as the starting point of legend.
Of course, some historians believe that the starting point of his story is in that inconspicuous forest.And everything after walking out of the forest is in his plan.
This kind of debate happened hundreds of years later, but it is already a story.
Luke didn't know what people in hundreds of years would say about today.But he knew that tomorrow, many people would come to him and ask him many questions.And I have many doubts to find the answer.
Fortunately, though, he had a chance to sleep before facing those tough people and problems.Get a good night's sleep.Leave the noise and carnival of those students aside.
He knew that if he celebrated with them now, he would undoubtedly gain more praise, and if he could say a few words, he would gain more hearts.
But he is very clear that too much is too much, he is still very young, there is no need to do things so comprehensively.
It is impossible for the mind of an adult to completely resist the body of an 11-year-old. The feedback brought by the body to emotions and characters cannot be overcome by a mature mind.
Before falling asleep, Luke thought about these things, about the relationship between emotions and physical physiological reactions, and about what he would face tomorrow.But all of them are just superficial.
As if passing through a black door, Luke saw a familiar scene.
This is a valley, and thick fog covers everything here.Can't see the way forward, can't see the way back.Just when Luke was hesitating, a winding bluestone path appeared under his feet, pointing to the depths of the mist.
Luke was silent for a moment, then walked forward with brisk steps.
From the foothills on both sides, there was the sound of Ding Ding's logging and the sound of birdsong.Luke also faintly heard a low singing voice.A beautiful female voice, but the tune is full of mourning.
Like crying sadly.
He seemed to really hear someone crying.
The ease on Luke's face gradually subsided, but it didn't become heavy, just calm.
The valley is long and narrow, and at some point, the trees on both sides of the path have turned into low shrubs, and raised bumps of soil appeared there.The solemn and sad singing gradually became louder.Like crying, like whispering.
In front of each soil bag, there is a simple cross made of two pieces of wood nailed together.
These are all tombs, and when viewed from a distance, the edge cannot be seen at a glance.
There is no first name on it, only last name.But each surname is inconspicuous, and it will not give people a familiar feeling.
Walking here, the thick fog has become thinner, and in the distance, several white palaces can already be seen in the distance.
They are not big and can even be low at times.
"As a tomb, it is already impressive enough."
Luke didn't know what to do and stopped, watching everything over there from a distance, with the calm expression on his face as always.
He stared at the palace for a long time, then smiled contemptuously: "Those who are destined to be abandoned by the times, don't think about uncovering the coffin."
"If you can't change it, then wait to be sent to the grave by my own hands. I won't forget that I poured molten iron into the coffin."
After finishing speaking, Luke hummed the song in a brisk tone, no matter whether it was solemn or sad, it was suppressed by the soft tone.
"Do you hear the peoplesing? (Do you hear the people singing?)
Singing the song of fangrymen? (The angry people singing?)
Itisthemusicofapeople (this is the song of a nation)
Whowill not beslaves again!
When the beating of your heart (When the beating of your heart)
Echoesthebeatingofthedrums
Thereisalifeabouttostart (new life is about to start)
When tomorrow comes. (With the dawn of tomorrow.)”
And after singing the first verse, Luke also smiled: "It's not appropriate, but it's quite suitable for the occasion."
As he said that, everything in front of him returned to the darkness again.
The edge of the valley begins to crumble the moment Luke leaves.But before it collapsed completely, a graceful figure appeared in the cemetery.
She was wearing a burgundy dress and half-rimmed glasses.
"Why is it a cemetery? Where is this place?"
He frowned slightly, then shook his head.
"What a strange dream."
After speaking, he waved his hand and disappeared in place.
So here again, there is only the pure echo of mournful singing.
Until the final utter shattering becomes nothingness.
The moon set and the sun rose, and when the morning light passed through the water of the Black Lake and fell on Luke's room, he also opened his eyes.
Sleepy-eyed, he got up from the bed, walked to the window, looked at the scenery at the bottom of the Black Lake, and stretched his waist.
Actually there is nothing to see.The water in the Black Lake is quite clear.But there's nothing unusual about what's at the bottom of the lake.Aquatic plants, fish, and stones and silt.
The Black Lake is huge, so there is no need for either the horse-shaped monster or the giant squid to get too close to Hogwarts.They only need to forage for food in their own one-third of an acre of land, which is enough.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Luke always feels something staring at him from the depths of the lake out of sight.
Luke frowned, feeling a little strange.
"Why did I suddenly dream about the scene I saw in the mirror last night? Obviously I have tried my best to restrain myself from thinking about it."
He muttered to himself, but couldn't find any answer.It was just a dream after all.Moreover, deliberately not thinking about it is itself a kind of thinking.
"In the future, we can still be as natural as possible."
At this moment, he felt a cold rope wrapped around his neck.He stretched out his hand, and ruthlessly lifted Doris up, who was half-closed.Then put it on his shoulders.
"It's fine here, don't keep wrapping it around my neck. I don't want to think it was you when I was wrapped around my neck with a rope that day."
Luke angrily said what he had said n times.But he estimated that if he didn't get angry, the little guy wouldn't remember it.But because of this; throwing a tantrum is still a little too far away.
Things are far from that level.
So Luke just yawned and turned around to wash up.
After many investigations, he found that his room was the only one in the Slytherin dormitory.
Private bathroom, he doesn't even need to go to public restroom.There's also plenty of room and an ultra-luxurious bed.
And after he asked Gemma, Gemma told him that no one had lived in this room for many years.
The dormitory is not assigned by the teacher, but by the castle itself.The teachers just put the list of branches under the statues of each college.
Luke didn't find much trace of life in this room.Maybe this room is special.After thinking about it, Luke could only think of something related to his bloodline.However, no concrete clues or evidence could be found.
Neither is proven yes or no.
If he wanted to get the answer, maybe he had to wait until the day when he could talk to the castle directly.
After tidying himself up, Luke opened the door and walked towards the cafeteria.
And when he passed the lounge, everyone greeted him warmly, but it was the same as usual, no one was overly enthusiastic, and they all maintained their due reserve.
The difference is that Luke noticed that several senior students who were not close to him before were also actively greeting him.This is a very good phenomenon.
Coming out of the Slytherin common room, he felt more certain of what he had done last night.
Several senior students in Gryffindor, who used to be nodding acquaintances, would actually greet him actively now, and even a few people who had always looked down on him would never meet again Just pretend not to see it.
Everyone can at least give each other a smile.
Of course, the more important thing is that the students of Slytherin and Gryffindor are not the same as before, even if they meet each other on the road, they will give each other a blank stare.
The atmosphere among the students has become much better.Even good enough to make Luke sigh.
"Sure enough, without taking some risks, how could there be such a good effect."
Risks and opportunities coexist, and the ancients never deceived me.
Luke sighed as he walked into the cafeteria, and then saw the twins walking straight towards him, then hugged his shoulders, and sat down nearby.
"Luke! Did you know what happened yesterday?"
George looked at Luke and asked with a puzzled expression.
Fred also looked at Luke with a puzzled expression. This question is the premise of the remaining questions.
So they have to get an answer to that question first.
"Well, I guessed something was going to happen a long time ago, and Halloween is the best time. I received a letter from nowhere a few days ago, and this letter confirmed my information, and more information. For example, I know the list of the magical beasts that have invaded."
Luke said this calmly and calmly, looking into the twins' eyes, without any timidity or feeling of revealing secrets.
George and Fred were silent for a moment, they seemed to get the answer they wanted, but they didn't seem to understand Luke's train of thought.
Can this kind of thing really be told to others so casually?
Luke saw their entanglement, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking!"
"I told Professor McGonagall about this early in the morning, and Dumbledore has been paying attention to this matter."
"The reason why everyone was a little confused yesterday is because those magical animals are not pure animals. Their intelligence and strength are far superior to those of the same kind. .”
The twins looked at Luke's smile, and for a while couldn't tell whether Luke's words were true or not.
Luke looked at the reactions of the two and nodded in satisfaction.Well, not fully believing is the best response.
"In short, the main purpose of giving the ring to you that day is for your self-defense. I don't know what kind of attack method that Voldebat will use. But I know, as long as there are those two things. The two of you The security is still adequate.”
Luke smiled and patted the shoulders of both of them.
It doesn't make sense to think about these things right and wrong now.
"So the ones in those two rings are Patronus charms?"
George looked at the ring on his neck and swallowed.Although this thing is off the beaten path, its preciousness is definitely full.
Mr. Weasley doesn't eat or drink, can he afford it with five years' salary?
Fred took the ring off his neck and handed it to Luke.
"No need."
Luke pushed him back without looking at it.
"Use it first, and I will lend it to you. If it is really used up, let's talk about it later."
George and Fred glanced at each other. Logically speaking, the two of them should not accept this gift, but what Luke said next forced them to accept it.
"To be honest, there are more and more things to follow." Luke's expression is quite serious, "This time, it's just the beginning, a start without any danger, but it doesn't mean what's going to happen later, It will be like this time."
"Leave it, the two of you are very important to me, so nothing can happen to you."
Luke’s tone was an unquestionable tone at this time.
So the twins nodded subconsciously.
Luke smiled and said: "Okay, don't think so much, we still have a long time to get along."
After speaking, Luke got up directly and walked forward.
He knew, and there were other people, to ask himself questions.They probably didn't sleep well last night.
Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help showing a smile.
He's looking forward to the looks of the others now.
Sure enough, when he was sitting in the position he had always been in, the faces of the people sitting around him had dark circles of varying degrees.
When he really came here, one by one put down the untouched food on the plate, and all looked at Luke.
Only Taylor was still eating his own food calmly, seemingly indifferent to Luke.
As soon as Luke sat down, he made a 'shh' gesture to Gemma who was about to speak.Then he glanced at Taylor.
Taylor understood, took out the ball from his pocket, and then gave Luke an OK gesture.
Now Gemma has a panoramic view of everything, but she doesn't care about the special magic item that she took out.
Instead, he stared at Luke and asked seriously, "What role did you play here?"
Luke looked at the bloodshot eyes and thick dark circles in Gemma's eyes, and finally smiled unkindly.
