Chapter 240 Prophecy

Chapter 240 Prophecy

Luke paused in his footsteps and was noticed by the two girls around him

On the other side, Harry also stopped in his tracks, looking around strangely.

Ron beside him looked at his expression, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything?"

Harry asked with some doubts.

Ron looked around, then scratched the back of his head and said, "No, I didn't hear anything, did you hear wrong?"

Harry was also a little hesitant, after all, the sound was just a slap in the face.

"It's possible. I must have misheard."

His tone changed from hesitation to determination.

Then the two left.

Luke didn't care. He looked at the ceiling and said to the two girls beside him, "Be careful when you go out these two days... There may be problems here recently."

In the plot, the cat was chosen first, then Colin... and now, with Luke's change, Luke himself is not sure which side will go wrong. He does not rule out that Hermione or others will be targeted. possible.

If it is seen through water, mirrors and other things, it is fine, but it will be petrified, but if it is seen directly, then it is not a problem of petrification.

Myrtle is an example... it will kill people directly.

Seeing Luke's serious expression, Hermione and Taylor nodded together.

"Did something happen?"

"Nothing serious... a rather dangerous magical animal has haunted the school."

Luke didn't hide it, and said to the two: "It's a basilisk. I thought that someone would be unable to hold back and open the secret room, and then the basilisk would be awakened. It doesn't seem to be the case now. I'm not sure about the secret room. There are no entrances and exits that belong to the basilisk, so be careful."

Speaking of this, Luke suddenly thought that in the original book, Ron imitated Harry's old tongue.

He had some ideas, could he teach Hermione and Tyler a few simple old accents?That might make them a little safer.

But just thinking about it, he quickly realized that if he could only say a few words, it would be okay to open the door like Ron, but if he really encountered a basilisk, it might not be of much help.

The wisdom of the basilisk itself is relatively low, and maybe it will irritate the basilisk instead.

More importantly... there is nothing to waste time talking.The meeting between the basilisk and the human is either death or petrification.There is no time for communication at all.

"Don't worry too much about it, I'll take care of it."

Luke took this matter to himself in a big way, not exaggerating or arrogant, he is still very confident in this matter.

It wouldn't be the case that Tom could come and go in and out of the secret room at will, but his authentic descendant would have to face danger.

There is no such thing.

And he was curious about what the basilisk said.If the basilisk simply came out to look for food, he wouldn't have much reaction.But when the basilisk passed by his position, it obviously stopped for a while, and said the following sentence.This made Luke think about it carefully.

"It's...prophecy again."...Since Luke started contacting the outside world, he has never broken his relationship with the word prophecy.From the beginning, Taylor came to him, saying that it was the guidance of the prophecy.Later, the saints wanted to kill him, which was also said to be the guidance of the prophecy.

Now the basilisk also said that he was the son of prophecy and asked him to go to the secret room.

What you say is at best a prophecy.Otherwise, such a prophecy would be too messy.

There is only one prophecy about Voldemort.It would be too exaggerated if I had three...

Although Luke said it was relaxed, Hermione and Taylor looked relaxed.

Both are academic masters, and both have a certain understanding of basilisks.

Even in the hierarchy of the most dangerous magical creatures, the basilisk is one of the most dangerous.Comparable to it, only the Hungarian Horntail and Voldebat among the fire dragons can confront each other head-on.The other Fantastic Beasts are pretty much the same.

And now, a basilisk is active in Hogwarts, a place where most wizards are young.

"I remember, when I first entered school, a senior sister told me... Hogwarts is the safest place in the whole of England."

Hermione looked helpless, and now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Luke shrugged: "That's what people say, and you just listen to it. Don't take it seriously. There are many things in Hogwarts that I don't understand. Dumbledore's control over the school's various facilities is not absolute. This There are still many mysteries in this school that have not been revealed."

"A place with many unknowns cannot be rashly characterized as 'safe'."

Luke never thought Hogwarts was safe, and not entirely because Voldemort would mess with it.But the school itself is not safe.A small door in the depths of the Room of Requirement.The secret room that Peeves took himself to find in that deserted corridor.The Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin.There is also the depths of the Black Lake, which Dumbledore saw when he was young, and Nicole Flamel said he had heard of the giant squid.

The school was never a proven place.Its mysterious veil has only been lifted so far.

"The basilisk... is really dangerous, don't you need to organize it?"

Taylor said with some concern.

The basilisk is really too great a threat to the students.The ability to stare at someone to death is too incomprehensible.

"I'll do my best to stop it. But it doesn't have to be that loud.

In the original book, although every student has raised his vigilance, some students even went home to rest.But this incident still did not cause too many casualties.In other words, no one died at all.

Taylor knew that Luke always didn't like to talk too much, and he would say that the probability of his success was [-]% if he could stop it [-]%.

If there is only a 90.00% chance of success, then he will say 80.00% chance or even less.

Now he says he will try his best, and there is no need to make it so loud, which means that he already has a certain idea.

Then Taylor doesn't have to worry about it.Just trust Luke.

So Taylor and Hermione discussed their plans and walked away.After all, the task of the two of them is not easy.This fellow Lockhart does look a bit unintelligent.But it is a matter of whether he can continue to be famous.He is absolutely very caring. ... After all, fame and wealth are also poison, which can make people addicted and change people.In order to protect his own fame and fortune, no matter what Lockhart did, Taylor would not be surprised.

What the two of them want to destroy is undoubtedly the root of Lockhart.This kind of thing, even if Lockhart killed them cruelly, it wouldn't surprise her.

Of course, judging from the current situation, in a normal battle, she really felt that Lockhart might not be able to beat her.

Naturally, let alone Luke.

And Luke hangs far behind.Doris grew up, and it became less and less suitable to be carried around casually.Fortunately, Doris's character is not particularly restless.Compared with Booker, who has no time to spare and disappears when he comes to school, Doris prefers to stay in the dormitory and bask in the sun passing through the black lake during the day.At night, either sleep next to Luke.Either on a night tour with Luke.

It's fine now.If Doris grows again, gets bigger, or changes shape altogether, then something is wrong.Whether she can stay in school is up for debate.

"Luke, are you looking for me?"

An ethereal voice sounded from behind Luke.

Luke turned around and saw Luna and Booker in her arms.

Booker glanced at Luke disdainfully, then rubbed against Luna's arms.

Luke didn't bother to talk to the kitty cat.Instead, he said seriously to Luna: "I have something to ask for your help."

He found someone to help contact Luna in the morning.

Luna's whereabouts are not fixed, and whether she eats or not in the morning depends purely on her mood.Luke didn't find Luna in the morning and didn't see her at noon, so he had to find someone to help with the conversation.

Fortunately, it seems that the person who brought the words did.

"You said."

Luna's expression was quite indifferent, and it seemed that it didn't matter what troublesome work Luke would arrange.

"Help me watch Ginny, there is something unclean around her that may hurt her."

Luke's words were not too direct.Although Luna's performance has always been very unique.But Luke also knew that Luna was still an 11-year-old after all.It's just a little special, but it's still a little wizard after all.

How the little wizards reacted to things related to Voldemort...is obvious to all.

Of course, the performance of the little wizards who have not faced the murderous Death Eaters and Voldemort is not bad.Some wizards who have really experienced it are not even willing to mention what happened back then.

The inability to call out Voldemort's name is not just because Voldemort's name has magical powers.

Luna was a little puzzled: "Don't you need to tell Ginny?"

"I have other plans." Luke shook his head and told Luna, and then looked at Luna seriously, "Do you want to help me?"

Luna didn't hesitate: "Of course, I don't think it's a bad thing. You won't watch Ginny get hurt if something happens. I'm the guarantee, right?"

Luna's trust and speculation are illogical.However, this situation fits well with Luke's perception of Luna.

"Yes, you are my guarantee." Luke smiled and said, "Keep an eye on Ginny, if there is anything wrong, let Booker come to me."... "Meow!"

Booker yelled reluctantly at Luke, but both Luke and Luna understood what it meant.

"As long as you can help. If you want to eat small dried fish, you can ask for it yourself."

Luke was not polite to Booker either.Last year, he really thought about whether to prepare some dried fish or something like that.This year, nothing is prepared at all.Anyway, the little guy can get food by himself.The high-end small dried fish he prepared last year did not touch a few mouthfuls.The rest are basically thrown away.

So he simply didn't buy it this year.The little guy had an awkward fight with him for a while.

After briefly explaining the matter to Luna, Luke watched Luna leave with a jump.

Luna has never been calm in her work, and her personality is both ethereal and quiet and eccentric.What matters in doing things is doing whatever you want.Luke didn't think he could make Luna do what he wanted, at most he could guide Luna to do something.

But Luna does deserve Luke's trust.The two of them had an inexplicable trust in each other.This is different from the trust that Taylor got because of the prophecy, and finally exchanged heart for heart.

Luke trusted Luna, but he was guilty of trusting himself.

After sending Luna away, Luna took a deep breath.Glancing at the ceiling, he knew that the various pipes of Hogwarts were intertwined and distributed above their heads and under their feet.And these pipes don't need wizards to maintain them.They are the responsibility of Hogwarts Castle itself.This thing is outrageous enough to say.But that's how it is.

This also means that no one knows what is in those pipes.

As far as Luke knew, some small snakes in the Forbidden Forest could pass pipes in and out of any room in the school with a tap at will.

It's like Luke's luxurious dormitory with private bathroom.

The main activity path of the basilisk is also in the pipeline.

"Tsk, what a complicated place."

Luke sighed while walking slowly towards Professor McGonagall's office.

Gently knocked on Professor McGonagall's door.

"Please come in!"

So Luke opened the door and walked in.

Professor McGonagall's room was as tidy as ever.But there are obvious changes.

"Professor, added two bookcases?"

Luke walked to the two bookcases over there, looked at the sorted materials inside, and said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall raised his head and looked at Luke: "Look, if you mess it up for me, you have to clean it up for me."

Luke made an 'OK' gesture, and then opened a book to read.

Sure enough, they were all experiments related to the formulaic derivation of Transfiguration.This diary is older.The above content is obviously still at the stage of confusion, and no feasible path has been found.

Luke looked at it for a moment, then restored the experiment log to its original position.

He is not curious.It's just that it's hard for him to devote his energy to this kind of derivation experiment.

"Is the trajectory we drew at that time helpful to you?"

"Others have it, but you don't. Your trajectory is clear and clear, and you can see that you have learned well."

Professor McGonagall said to Luke politely.Her purpose itself is to collect data in a variety of ways.There is no need to absorb things like Luke that are the same as examples.

"What did you come to see me for?"

Professor McGonagall knows that Luke is a character who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.He can give you very valuable gifts, but it is too difficult to make him come to you to play with him when he is free.

So Luke found himself, there must be something wrong.

"Approve me a note, Professor. I'm going to the Restricted Section."

Luke was also polite, and directly stated his request.

Professor McGonagall, who had been writing and drawing, listened.She adjusted her glasses.

"reason."

Luke didn't speak, just took something out of his belt and put it on Professor McGonagall's desk. .

I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
