Chapter 264
Gaunt, a glorious surname.
In that era of worshiping nobles, Gaunt was almost a god.
The natural leader of the nobility, the natural giant of the wizarding world.
Even now, pure-blood nobles are gradually declining in the British magic world, while mixed-bloods, Muggle wizards, and minor nobles are gradually rising.The Gaunt family became extinct, and all members of the Black family entered Azkaban, leaving Strange with a married daughter.Malfoy, a family that was originally under the three families, suddenly rose in status, but because of its own loss, it couldn't really convince the public.
Whether it's financial resources or other things, they can't truly persuade and twist everyone together.
At this time, a real heir suddenly appeared in the Gaunt family who inherited a large amount of inheritance.
Especially the identity of this heir was recognized by Hogwarts.Not from Hogwarts people, but from Hogwarts itself, the pen of acceptance and the book of admission, then this can be regarded as proof.
And Gaunt is not a common surname like Potter.
This Gunter, as long as there is no problem, it must be Gunter.This is the general perception of everyone.
But that doesn't mean there aren't conspiracy theories out there.
"Dumbledore found a child as a puppet. After subduing the Ministry of Magic, the White Demon King put his claws on the pure-blooded nobles again!"
It is only popular among the small circles of some nobles, but since the circles of the nobles are not large, and the repetition rate is often high, such words are indeed common in the mouths of the nobles.
A suddenly extinct family has sprung up a branch that has never been known before, and even they themselves don't know about it?This is enough for the nobles to be unconstrained.
Could it be that after they become extinct, there will also be a branch that they don't even know? Come on, will all their inheritance be in their pockets?
joke!
But it just happened, Luke was recognized by the Strange family in France, and he was embraced by the nobles of the United States.He attended the gatherings of the British nobles, and no one would question Luke's identity any more.Unless you are questioning the top nobles of the three countries at the same time.
Today, Tom questioned.
"I'm the real Gunter, and I'm proud of the past of this family, whether it's my anonymous but extraordinary direct ancestors. Or in another branch, those who are still considered great despite the constraints of the times." ancestors."
Luke looked at Tom who was tied up by the basilisk, with a self-confident smile on his face.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle. I know a lot about what you did as Voldemort. I don't think you deserve to be called Gaunt. The Gaunt family will never recognize you."
"It's not because of your blood. There is no doubt that half of you is Gaunt's blood. But your behavior is not worthy of the surname that symbolizes glory and change. This family will never recognize you."
Hearing this, Tom looked at Luke with hatred.But when he and Luke's arrogant and indifferent eyes met, he always felt that he was not even a person in the eyes of the other party.
….His feeling is not wrong. Luke does not reject killing people. If there are enough good reasons, then most people can be killed.But Luke hated Voldemort's indiscriminate killings and senseless killings.His killing didn't make the world a better place.Instead, the wizarding world slipped into the abyss of decline.
Such a person can only be regarded as an idiot in Luke's eyes, and he doesn't have much to do with people.
"That's because I lost... If I win, then you have to rely on me and use Gaunt's surname to become my confidant. Let me be your umbrella!"
Tom was very unconvinced.He didn't know Luke's current status, but judging from Harry's eyes, this young man was probably already the leader in Harry's eyes.
After hearing what he said, the smile on Luke's face didn't change, he just said calmly: "Now is, fantasy time."
Tom's face turned green.I can't wait to pull out my wand and reward Luke with eating a big melon.But how can the body of a little girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken be able to break free from the shackles of the thousand-year-old basilisk.
"Save your energy. Apart from exposing your ugliness and making me despise you even more, your current actions have no meaning."
With a restrained smile, Luke glanced at Harry behind him: "Are you all right?"
"fine!"
Harry quickly replied with an excited look on his face: "I knew you would come!"
There was an involuntary look of trust in his eyes.And the feeling of trust is gradually deepening.
Luke patted him on the shoulder: "I've been here a long time ago. When the two of you confronted each other, I was watching."
Feeling Harry's stiff shoulders, the smile on Luke's face grew brighter.
After being silent for a moment, Harry tentatively asked, "So, these are all in your plan?"
Luke shrugged: "Except for the reason why he asked you to come out. I originally thought that this person was going to invade your body, and then use your body and fame to make a comeback, or give Dumbledore a shot at Dumbledore who had to kill him." Heavy blow……"
He was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I didn't expect that he was just asking questions. I still can't understand the persistence of you people."
Luke's frankness made Harry feel a little moved, and it also made Tom's eyes widen.If Luke sells well now instead of interrupting Harry's mood that is about to turn from trust to admiration, then...
"Ha, you're an idiot too."
Tom sneered.
The opportunity to gain a subordinate with great reputation and talent is so missed. How dare you say that you are the elite of the Gunter family?God, how dare you call yourself that?
But in the face of his ridicule, Luke just replied lightly.
"So you can't understand me either."
Just as it is difficult for bronze to understand the position of the king, the king cannot understand the position of bronze.
I predicted it! (loud)
What is prejudgment? (Puzzled)
After finishing speaking, Luke didn't say much but inserted his hand into the gap where the basilisk was coiled.
The scales of the basilisk look very textured, like green gems, and have a soft touch when touched, like gold.Luke fumbled around Ginny, then pulled out a notebook.
….Tom's expression couldn't be maintained for an instant: "What are you going to do?!
"
"What are you doing? It's my mission to take you to meet old friends."
The smile on Luke's face suddenly became bad, as if he was looking forward to seeing something.
"you you you……"
Tom wanted to say something to stop Luke's movements, he was convinced that as long as Luke was the Gaunt he said, then he would never wear a pair of pants with Dumbledore, and as long as they were not A pair of pants, then I have a chance to turn things around.
But... Luke didn't give him a chance to speak.He flicked the wand lightly in his hand, and the magic power drew a precise trajectory in his body, and then a milky white light flashed, and Ginny's head drooped powerlessly.Like a robot completely out of control.
Luke stuffed the diary into his pocket with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether you can convince me, why should I listen to you. Don't speculate on things that are too much."
After finishing speaking, he waved at the basilisk: "It's been hard work, go back and rest. I'll bring you something to eat in a few days."
The basilisk stretched out its head, rubbed Luke's face attached, then let go of Ginny's body, and left indifferently.
Harry quickly caught Ginny's body, and then put his hand on Ginny's face: "Ginny, Ginny, wake up, wake up..."
"Stop shouting, I can't get up for a while."
Luke looked at Harry's anxious look, and put away the smile on his face: "I cast a spell on Ginny, so that she can be protected from Voldemort's soul, but the price is that her soul can't help it for the time being." Take possession of the body."
Hearing this, Harry combined this information with the information he heard from Tom just now: "So, Voldemort took over Ginny's body so easily, and Ginny didn't even resist?"
"Of course, in this case, there is no way for him to hurt Ginny. After all, it is not easy to heal once injured in the battle at the soul level."
In the face of Harry's question, Luke made a selective frankness.
"But don't worry, I can break the magic, but it will take some time. Now... it doesn't matter if Ginny sleeps a little longer. After all, although her soul is sleeping, her body is never idle. "
"Physically exhausted and mentally full will inevitably bring about a feeling of incongruity. Let her rest for a few more days."
Harry thought Luke had a point.
After he breathed a sigh of relief, many questions suddenly popped up one after another from the bottom of his heart.
When did Luke's plan start to prepare?What role did you play in it?What is Luke's attitude towards Ginny?
But in the end he only asked one question.
"This time to deal with Voldemort's remnant soul, don't you need to do it?"
Harry looked at Luke with emotion in his eyes.Luke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If I have made so much preparation and have to face such a trapped soul, then I am useless."
….Tom, the spirits in this diary have no great power.He was just an experiment for Voldemort who was still in school.Voldemort was obviously not strong at that time either.Just better than his peers.
"Okay, I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask me, think about it when you go back, you will definitely be able to figure out some of them. Give me the questions that you can't figure out, and I will answer them for you."
Luke patted Harry on the shoulder again, and said, "Get up, boy, we should go out now."
Harry was a little surprised by his words: "This is the Chamber of Secrets! You are the natural heir here! Don't you want to see what's in here?"
"I don't want to." Luke shook his head again and again, "I have inherited enough inheritance."
"Get out later, don't mention anything about Tom, I'll take care of it. And..." Luke flicked his wand and cast the Disillusionment Charm, "You never saw Tom tonight. Pass me. Neither you nor I know what the Chamber of Secrets is."
Harry understood what Luke meant when he said 'I have inherited enough'.Obviously, it's not that he has no interest in the secret room, but that he can't let others go back to the secret room that he has obtained.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you!"
Harry swears by it, but because he has Ginny in his arms, he can't pat his chest.Of course, Luke wasn't interested in his boobs either.
"That's good."
In the nothingness in front of Harry's eyes, Luke's voice came.
"Let's go, there are probably professors waiting for the results outside."
After speaking, Luke fell silent.
Harry nodded and walked in the direction he had come from.He didn't know if Luke had left here, but it had nothing to do with him.
He is not envious that this is the inheritance of Slytherin.
And when the recipient of this inheritance was Luke, he was even happy from the bottom of his heart.
Luke should get the ownership here, it's something left by his ancestors!
He thought so.
And what about Luke?
He stood there, looking at the head that was in proportion to the lower secret room, but it was difficult to come out to see the ridiculously big head, and slowly shook his head: "I'm not interested in this place because there is really nothing here."
After speaking, Luke also walked in the direction he came from.
A moment later, the door of the secret room was opened, and Snape and Dumbledore saw Harry walking out of the secret room through the concerned eyes of Snape and Dumbledore.
Snape, who was in the invisible state, was obviously relieved, but just halfway through the breath, he seemed to feel that he shouldn't be like this, so he swallowed it back.After recovering his proud expression, he just let out a faint snort.
Dumbledore looked back, did not see Luke's figure, and frowned, but suddenly thought that Luke might be invisible, his brows stretched, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
However, seeing that Snape had no intention of showing up now, he went out first, lifted his invisibility, and then came in from the door, looking at Harry with a rather complicated expression.
The moment he saw Dumbledore, Harry's face was filled with relief, as if he could finally let go.
"Professor Dumbledore! I..."
"Mr. Potter... Now," Dumbledore's tone was unquestionable, "go to the infirmary to find Madam Pomfrey. Both you and Miss Weasley need a full body examination, and..."
His tone softened in an instant, and turned into the state of a kind elder: "You need to rest, children. Get a good sleep."
