Chapter 268 Substitute Teacher
After listening to Taylor's description, Luke tapped his fingers on the table.Tyler knew it was when he was thinking about something he didn't want to think about.
For Luke, he doesn't care what happens to Lockhart.Although Lockhart is a man of great ambition and lack of talent, with low morals and greed for fame and wealth, in the final analysis, the worst thing is to die.
Looking at it now, he can't do it even if he doesn't want to die. After all, besides being spurned by people with morality and conscience, such behavior will also make the Wizengamot reward him with a 100-year sentence in Azkaban.
For a wizard, this may indeed be a fixed-term imprisonment.Of course, Lockhart had to be able to reach Dumbledore's level of strength.
Moreover, Azkaban's control over the prisoners is extremely relaxed.There is no need for extra work, and the daily meals are pretty good. Apart from having a little intimate contact with the Soul Eater, this is simply a day like heaven.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and all of them are talents.
If Lockhart is a person who has professional skills and writes books, he might be able to write a book like "My Wife".
If it can be published, Luke will definitely buy a copy to support him.The story this time is probably his own.
Cranky thinking is just random thinking. After thinking for a while, Luke shook his head and said: "There is no need to add extra fuel to the flames. Although it is not said to be an idle move, it is not something that is in the predetermined plan. It is too deliberate. It's not beautiful."
"The families of the victims don't need to be deliberately guided. Our original intention is not to help justice. It's enough to let the reputation fall on ourselves, and there is no need to be greedy."
After listening to Luke's words, Taylor nodded to show that he understood.
Originally, she wanted to dig deeper into the contents of this diary, and then grab more.However, what Luke said also has some truths. If you are greedy, you can't chew it. If you do it too deliberately, it will be easy to be caught by someone with a heart.
"Forget it." Taylor responded, then glanced at Luke, and asked seriously, "Is everything on your side settled?"
Luke didn't nod or shake his head, just frowned: "If you want to say that those things about Voldemort have been resolved. In other words, unlike last year, this year's Voldemort has stayed in my trap from the beginning , follow the path I set out for him. Although I wasted a lot of energy in the middle, I was asking for more trouble."
Whether it is the development of new spells or the exploration of secret chambers, among these things, Voldemort is at best a fuse.Even without him, Luke would have done these things sooner or later.
It would be better to say that Luke's current gains far exceed the original plan because he has caused all these troubles for himself.
"But..." Luke instinctively felt that something was wrong, "I'll be honest, I feel that I must have some troubles this semester."
In the original book, the most important thing this semester is the attack of the basilisk.The matter of the heir to the secret room continued almost to the end of the period.
But here, as soon as Mrs. Norris had an accident, the matter had been satisfactorily resolved.To be honest, many students think that professors are just a cat who makes a fuss out of a molehill, so there is no need for such a mobilization?
...The professors know the danger of the basilisk, but when faced with the blockade order issued by Luke, they will still appear a little reluctant.After all, they, like the students, like the free atmosphere.
Whether it is a professor or a student, essentially they like to have a holiday.
And it was settled so early.It doesn't mean that Luke will be able to spend the second grade peacefully.
First of all, he still has some trivial matters, such as the Forbidden Forest, Black Lake, and Peeves.Furthermore, there are still external forces to contact.
Secondly... He always felt that a certain unscrupulous principal would not want to see him too idle.After all, as soon as a person is free, he will think about finding something to do.Luke is a lazy person, if he really wants to find out something, it must be something that will pierce the sky.This characteristic Dumbledore, who has been with him for almost the whole summer vacation, can't be more clear.
Although it is in the school now, those forces that Luke has gathered or defected to cannot directly participate in the affairs of Hogwarts.But that doesn't mean he can't make big news.
For the harmony and tranquility of Hogwarts.In order to prevent Luke from replacing Voldemort as the number one destroyer of Hogwarts, Dumbledore will definitely find something for Luke to do.
But Luke didn't think for a while that he had any work he could do.
"I don't think so much anymore, it's just troublesome at most, and the benefits are definitely good."
Luke still has this trust in Dumbledore.
Taylor's expression was not so optimistic, and her attitude towards Dumbledore was still lukewarm. Luke was happy to make friends with Dumbledore, and she would not hinder them from using each other.But to say how much she trusted Dumbledore would be pure joke.
"It's good that you understand it in your heart. Shall I go to Senior Gemma and report this matter to the newspaper?"
Taylor opened his mouth and asked, this task can be entrusted to her, sending someone to the west, and personally putting Lockhart into the coffin and burying him can be regarded as the beginning and the end.And it's not strenuous, just easy.
But Luke still shook his head: "Leave this matter to someone else, just for him to get in touch with Gemma."
"That Eric Wenger?" Taylor frowned thinking about this person, "It feels a bit unreliable."
From a small family, the people in the family seem to buy alchemy materials.It is said that the Wenger family has close contacts with many great nobles, and it seems that they have the idea of raising their status in the noble circle to a higher level.
Thinking about it this way, Eric Wenger's defection to Luke is probably not an agreement with the concept.Instead, he simply wanted to follow Luke's springboard and let his family climb up.
Although Taylor doesn't talk about it on weekdays, he doesn't think highly of such a person.After all, I, Hermione, Gemma, Malfoy, the Wesley twins... all came for Luke's ideas, at least part of them.It's not just for any benefit.
Luke could sense Taylor's displeasure.After all, Eric Wenger will be able to graduate this year, and then go out to at least become Gemma's assistant.He even became an equal with Gemma.
But this person's attitude towards Luke cannot be the same as that of Gemma.Gemma is truly her own.
... But Luke smiled and rubbed Taylor's head: "You are a prophet, can't you even see such a little thing?"
"I don't really care why Eric joined me. On the contrary, it is a good thing to ask for something from me. There is an old saying in the East called 'a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone'. To me, Eric is Horse bones."
Facing Luke's dragging text, Taylor shook his head without hesitation: "I don't understand, so don't tell me, Gemma will naturally watch him after he goes out."
Luke nodded, Gemma's growth during this period was not easy.Judging from the recent information, old Lance was about to be manipulated by Gemma.Not to mention the growing business, Luke was very surprised by the speed of building the intelligence network.
"Send Eric over there and let Gemma take care of the arrangement. Eric's talent is good. Since Gemma said that she is short of people, then give her a... person."
Luke didn't care about his answer. He didn't care what kind of purpose Eric had. Whether he can really become his own person depends on the future development.
In itself, these senior students whose relationship is not too deep are not the main force for him to fight for.At most, the class of twins will start to be recruited.
Even Percy didn't bother to win him over.Dealing with Percy is a very simple matter. According to Luke's current energy, he can easily arrange this person who is dedicated to his official career.
But... At that age, Percy already had his own ideas, and it was too late to change.And if it is lured for profit, it is no different from Eric Wenger.So there is no need.
Taylor nodded, yawned again, and said, "Is there anything else for you? If it's okay, do you want to see Professor McGonagall? I think she was worried about you last night."
Taylor recalled last night, Professor McGonagall's sudden appearance, and the fact that he was lenient for Luke's face, and during the process of questioning, he asked several times whether Luke's plan would be dangerous.
At that time, Hermione wanted to tell Professor McGonagall directly about Luke's whereabouts.Let her look for it by herself, and have a look, so that she can really feel relieved.
But Hermione is also a smart girl. Seeing Professor McGonagall's worried expression, she sensibly didn't really say anything.Obviously, as an elder, Professor McGonagall is worried that if he participates, it will mess up Luke's plan, and if he doesn't go, Luke will encounter some difficult situations to deal with.
After all, the opponent is Voldemort, even if Luke was prepared.From the point of view of Professor McGonagall and those who have experienced the horror of Voldemort, it is better to be careful and careful.
Of course, the three people at that time didn't know that Luke turned back to talk to Dumbledore after watching the three of them connect from a distance.
Luke couldn't help showing a gentle smile on his face when he heard this.At the beginning, I gave Professor McGonagall research notes to win over.In the ensuing relationship, the relationship between the two became unpredictably harmonious.Now they are considered real elders and juniors.
...Professor McGonagall sees Luke as a grandchild.Luke also sincerely respects Professor McGonagall as an elder.
"I will. I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to be involved last night. I didn't tell her because there wasn't much going on last night. There's no need to bother her."
Luke didn't know who he explained to.
Taylor sealed the snack bag with the wand in his hand, and said, "Anyway, you'd better explain it. Professor McGonagall is a little worried after all."
She actually envied Luke.Although Luke has no relatives, the relationship with Professor McGonagall has reached such a level that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are relatives.
She has her grandma by her side, and if she's like Luke, I'm really not sure if there will be such a person like Professor McGonagall.Not every orphan has this kind of luck.
Luke scratched his head in distress: "Got it..."
Saying that, he got up, waved to Taylor and walked out.
It should not be too late, since it is brought up, do it quickly, so as to avoid procrastination and procrastination, and small things will become big things.
Taylor watched the back of Luke leaving, showing an indifferent smile that would never be shown in front of anyone except Luke and grandma, then packed up his things and walked towards his dormitory again.
Originally, she thought she had had enough sleep, but she didn't expect that after roasting with Luke for a while, she would still be so sleepy, so she might as well go and have a good sleep.
"By the way, Hermione...wouldn't have insisted on going to class..."
When Taylor went upstairs, he couldn't help thinking of Hermione, so his face was slightly embarrassed.
As soon as this question popped up, she understood that it must be like this.Let's not talk about whether Hermione has the ability to not be held accountable for absenteeism, or to ask the teacher for a leave of absence.Just because of her own personality, she should not allow herself to ask for leave at this time.
After all...it still deserves a big score.
"It's not necessarily bad news for Hermione if neither Luke nor I are here... I hope. Ha~"
Saying so, she yawned again.Shaking his head, he opened the door and entered his dormitory.
On the other side, Hermione was making potions.While gulping coffee into his mouth.Neville, who was watching from the side, was a little terrified.
"Hermione, you don't need to be so anxious."
"No! Potions class without Taylor! I have to seize my moment!"
When Snape on the podium saw this, the muscles in his face jumped.He'd never liked Hermione very much.But Hermione's talent is good, and she doesn't work hard, so she isn't too annoying.
And now...he was sure that if this little girl didn't have any other trivial matters, the final achievement must be quite good.
………………
Luke walked in the middle of the hall and yawned too. Of course, his mental state was much better, mainly because he was used to cultivating immortals.
Originally, he was thinking of going to see Harry and Ginny first.After all, if there are no accidents, at least today, these two people will stay in the infirmary, receiving Madam Pomfrey's examination and treatment.
Luckily, Harry said, Luke was pretty sure there was nothing wrong with him.As for Ginny, it might take a few more days.Of course, tomorrow at the latest, when her body's energy is almost recovered, she should wake up.However, in view of the problem with the soul, Madam Pomfrey will definitely not let her leave easily.
But since what Taylor said was really reasonable, and Harry was really not in a hurry, so he decided to report to Professor McGonagall first.
And at this moment, he saw a dusty figure hiding half-revealed behind a pillar in the corridor.
