Chapter 300
After a brief rest, Luke left the cliff with the two girls.As for Dumbledore...
He never showed up in America.
Now Dumbledore is still cooperating with the British Ministry of Magic in the investigation.
It is worth mentioning that the person who cooperated with Dumbledore this time is called Lucius Malfoy.
Many people are looking forward to their cooperation.Cornelius Fudge considered Lucius his absolute own.As long as he has a good enough relationship with Dumbledore, then he can put down his guard against Dumbledore.
As for whether Lucius would take his place.He wasn't worried at all.
No one would accept a famous Death Eater as Minister of Magic for at least ten years.
At least I am a Death Eater, no.
As a strong contender for the next Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch is also looking forward to it.Compared to Fudge, he believes that Lucius Malfoy knows who is really his own.
But Lucius' actions this time were quite secretive, and no one even knew what kind of issues he was discussing with Dumbledore.
The well-informed only know that Draco Malfoy, a little guy who can't control his mouth, is blowing up the matter.But no matter what, I couldn't get the specific details.Everyone can only be emotional.It seems that the young man of the Malfoy family has finally grown up somewhat.
And those who knew Malfoy were somewhat suspicious.Just like Pansy Parkinson.The little girl liked the outstanding Malfoy very much.
This liking lasted until Luke, who was more handsome, stronger and more noble than Malfoy, appeared.But she still has a deep understanding of Malfoy.
and so……
"Do you think there is a problem behind this incident?"
Hector Parkinson asked suspiciously, frowning while eating dinner.
Pansy Perkins brushed her short hair behind her ears, glanced at her father, and said, "Father, if you let your daughter use a rare opportunity to ask for leave, it's just to ask such a meaningless If there is a problem, then you should let me go."
Hector Parkinson frowned dissatisfiedly as he looked at his daughter who spoke slightly harshly.
"I want to know what's the problem behind this."
"Unfortunately, I don't know about this. Although I'm trying to get as close to Luke as possible, but because of your ambiguous attitude, I haven't been able to really integrate into this small group."
Pansy Parkinson also had a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
After all, in her cognition.My father is an absolute neutral.When the Death Eaters were rampant in the British wizarding world, he didn't join.Now the environment is relatively relaxed.After the meeting between half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards became stronger day by day, he didn't take advantage of his experience of not joining the Death Eaters, and he even chose to stand with the pure-blood wizards of bloodism when he had confronted the Death Eaters.
This can't even be said to be sitting on the wall, but purely like a challenge.
But actually...
Hector Parkinson said coldly and arrogantly: "Luke Gunter has a problem with his thinking. He seems to be expanding the base of nobles. If he succeeds, there will definitely be a group of small nobles who will become big nobles. Half-blood wizards, even Mudblood wizards will be the new minor nobles."
"This means the sacrifice of a great nobleman." Pansy Parkinson answered without waiting for her father to finish speaking, and then she looked at her father with some puzzlement, "Father, I want to know , How can you guarantee that our Parkinson's family will not be the food to feed those hungry wolves?"
Standing with Luke Gunter now, at least he won't be a victim.As for whether Luke Gunter will succeed... No one can guarantee it.But the state of the Parkinson family also made Pansy a little dissatisfied.The environment is different.
The Parkinson family has been neutral long enough.
It has become a little transparency among the aristocratic group.
Pansy hopes she can change that.The Parkinsons must be great again.
More importantly, she had a premonition that if she did not choose to take sides this time, but continued to be neutral, then the already very weak Parkinson family might become history.
"First...Luke Gunter may not win. Don't underestimate those weakened families. Although their economic strength has been weakened a lot, their energy and tentacles are still all over the world."
"Just like our Parkinson family. Don't worry, if any of the two parties wants to harm us, you can leave the land of right and wrong in the UK. Leave seeds for our Parkinson family."
"Secondly, do you still remember our ethnic language?"
Hector Parkinson ignored his daughter's complicated eyes, but asked.
Pansy Parkinson took a deep breath, and then said, "Forever noble."
"That's right, always noble. What Luke Gaunt is doing is creating new nobles. I can't accept this kind of thinking. We are not hostile to half-blood wizards and mudblood wizards, because we are noble nobles, we must maintain Respect for common people. We don't agree to treat them as pigs and dogs. Because the code of nobility requires us to protect the weak."
"Luke Gaunt, betraying his blood."
Hector Parkinson expressed his thoughts in a calm tone, he did not look at his daughter, and he never expected his daughter to understand him.
The woman who could understand herself had died in the last war.
So he no longer expects anyone to understand him.
No one spoke in the restaurant.Both father and daughter seemed to have some thoughts.
"He's creating his own glory."
After a long silence, Pansy Parkinson said silently.
"He believes that glory is the factor that determines whether a person is noble or not."
"Oh, that's bullshit. Our glory. From our blood. From our great ancestors. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Although Hector Parkinson's tone was mocking, there was no mocking smile on his face.
"Great deeds are called glory. Lying on the great deeds of ancestors can only be called rice bugs."
Pansy Parkinson's tone was not intense, as if explaining a fact.
"Then keep that thought of yours."
Hector Parkinson didn't even look at his daughter, as if giving up something, he said lazily: "I don't mind the gap between your thoughts and mine. I don't care if you will stand opposite me .”
"Luke Gunter is a very powerful little guy. He has completely brainwashed you guys. I have to say that his timing is very good. The education of the major families has not yet started. He has already taken the lead. By the time we react, you have already become his fans."
"I don't like this little guy, but I don't like this wizarding world either."
Hector Parkinson finally looked at his daughter, and said coldly: "I can see that there is no essential difference between the Muggle world and the wizarding world. It's just because of our specialness that social changes in the Muggle world Finally got ahead of us."
"The small nobles will inevitably rise. If the big nobles still concentrate on occupying the land, they will only be eliminated like the Muggle nobles."
"Change is inevitable. Because the strengths and weaknesses have shifted."
"Luke Gunter is in the right position, but not everyone who is in the right position can successfully change the world."
"You want to stand with him, no problem. If you succeed, then I will be the trash of history. But if you fail. At least I can save your life."
Hector looked at his daughter whose brain seemed to be down in the face of so much information: "Get close to Luke Gunter, but don't become Luke Gunter's reliance."
"Stay away from those scorching suns. Don't be the moon. Be the dim stars."
"The sun wins, you can continue to shine. If the sun is swallowed by the darkness. While they are busy swallowing the sun's light, you can restrain your own dim light. Become a member of the darkness."
"Eternal nobility...the one who lives forever is eternal nobility."
........................
"Those who look forward to change will become your friends like greedy hyenas. But you still can't let the lion walk with you now."
An old man wearing large-colored beach pants stood in front of Luke and the others, and said to Luke with a serious expression different from his own: "Not everyone is eager to change."
Hermione and Tyler looked at the old man in front of them.They didn't know who the old man was.All I know is that when they approached the villa, the old man had already made black tea in the living room, as if he was waiting for their arrival early in the morning.
And Luke's attitude towards the old man... seems to be extra gentle.
Luke took a sip of black tea, then smiled and said, "Grandpa, is this the first time we meet officially, are you going to talk to me about this?"
Old Rose nodded and said: "I must first ensure that my grandson lives, and then I can think about what achievements my grandson will have."
"In my eyes, as the only child of my daughter, your life is more important than those meaningless achievements."
Only then did the two girls realize who the old man in front of them was.
Their surprised eyes kept shifting on old Rose and Luke.
"I just thought Luke didn't have any relatives anymore."
Hermione whispered to Tyler in a low voice.
Taylor didn't speak, just nodded.
"Then grandpa, please rest assured. The lions you speak of will walk with me. When they realize that confrontation cannot solve all the hyenas."
"When they see the danger of hyenas, they will find ... a group of hyenas led by lions, at least not completely disappearing lions."
There was a smile in Luke's voice when he said this.Old Rose took a deep look at his grandson, nodded and said, "If you can do it."
"I don't need to do much, just light a fire."
Luke shrugged.
Then he took a sip of tea and said with emotion again: "America, what a wonderful place."
"People who want to see explosions certainly like to see powder kegs."
Old Rose shook his head helplessly and said, "You really don't resemble your mother. You are more like your father. And your father is more peaceful than you."
"Unfortunately, I don't have many impressions of them in my mind anymore." Luke spread his hands, "You may not believe it, but my deepest feelings about father's love and mother's love are actually in a false dream .”
Old Rose fell silent.
How old is it, maybe six years old.He also suffered from a serious illness and forgot a lot of previous memories.
this kid...
So, he decided to change the subject: "Are these two girls your girlfriend?"
"puff!
! ”
The black tea in Luke's mouth spurted out.
Dumbledore on one side looked at the embarrassed Luke with a smile.The two girls lowered their heads.If it was someone else, they would deliberately deny it, but the old man in front of them is Luke's real blood relative.Seems to be on good terms with Luke too.
So the two were silent at the same time in tacit understanding, and then looked at each other tacitly.
"It's not... I won't talk about starting a family until I complete my goal." Luke's expression returned to normal after a while, "If I fail, then as my girlfriend, I can only make her a stake the tortured ones."
Old Rose looked at his grandson, nodded and said, "You are more responsible than your father."
"I also know why you are here. Gary!"
A fierce-looking young man walked in through the door after Old Rose called out.
After bowing to old Rose, he walked up to Luke and knelt on one knee: "Master Gunter."
This is the ritual of surrender.Dumbledore on the other side felt the strength of this young man, and glanced at Old Rose on the other side.
Old Rose met his gaze and smiled back.
Of course he knew that Dumbledore now regarded himself as Luke's elder, and he also knew that Luke must exchange his sincerity for Dumbledore's sincerity.But as a real elder, he can't be compared by Dumbledore.
Luke also looked at Old Rose.
"You need someone. I understand it. That girl named Gemma is indeed a genius in business and other aspects. But in terms of strength, she still has to fall short."
"Our world is not exactly the same as the world of Muggles. For example, if Albus sees you unhappy at any time and wants to kill you forcibly, then everything about you is empty talk."
"The difference in individual strength is a special situation that wizards have to face."
"Accept it. Those who are strong enough have not gained your trust. Those who have gained your trust are often not even adults."
As he spoke, he took out a black crystal from his pocket.
"With it, you can have absolute peace of mind."
