Chapter 377 Clues
"Who told you the good news?"
Dumbledore glanced at Luke, his expression indifferent.
Luke paused.Didn't expect to get such a response at all.
"Has the situation gotten so bad? Even you can't do anything about it?"
Luke leaned back on the chair, lazily, and said seemingly unprepared.
Of course, he knew the answer in his heart. To be honest, as long as Dumbledore didn't ask for death, there were not many things that he found difficult to deal with in the world of wizards.And within the scope of Hogwarts Castle, there were really only a handful of things he couldn't do.
"Can you be a little more orthodox?"
Dumbledore said to Luke angrily.Every time Luke was talking or doing something at his place, he always put on this gesture.It looks like a puppy showing its belly.Show yourself submissive and harmless.
But Luke is not a dog.The dog showing its belly may really be surrendering.But Luke's obedience is likely to give you a big reward.
Luke shrugged: "I really mean it. If the matter really reaches the point where the professor is helpless, then I don't need to cheer up. It might be a better choice to get ready to end this matter earlier."
Let go of the relationship and admit the punishment.
No way, if the current Dumbledore wants to get serious with Luke, then Luke has no ability to resist and can only be a piece of meat on the board.And now, although this person is not Dumbledore, Dumbledore has nothing to do with him.Luke didn't think he would have any good way to face such a thing.So instead of being strong, it's better to be bad.
Seeing Luke like this, Dumbledore also had a headache.He's not stupid, and Luke's present appearance is also for others to see.
That's right, when Luke faced a situation where he was helpless, it was really difficult for him to have any room to play.
But you expect this little guy to really resign himself to fate, that's impossible.
Although everything is fate, it cannot be controlled at all.But few people can wait to die willingly.
Of course, Luke's current situation does not mean that he is waiting to die.But there are also many things to think about and consider.

It's more about thinking and experience.
But if it is carefully arranged, it will consume a lot of energy and brain power, so it is not suitable for Dumbledore to think.In other words, the current matter just happened to be outside of Dumbledore's area of expertise.
This is also one of Dumbledore's own headaches.
When he was young, he thought he could do anything.Moreover, in his prime of life, such thoughts were not particularly arrogant.But it's different now.Time is indeed not forgiving.
Luke frowned again upon hearing this.
"We can see the enemy in the dark. To be honest, we are actually quite passive."
The current situation simply does not allow Luke to take any particularly large-scale actions, because that will disturb the students in the school, as well as other people who are staring at him.Luke has always been cautious, and there are not too many people who can be trusted.
Except for a few girls, it is not easy for anyone else to get involved with Luke.
Leaving others alone, if Luke really has something particularly big and will damage the power of a part of the Malfoy family, then it is very debatable whether the support of the Malfoy family will continue to exist. something happened.
Such is the union of nobles, both strong and loose.
What's more, if Luke really turns Hogwarts upside down to find the murderer, then someone will definitely say that Luke's ability is not good enough.Now he is counting on this move to further improve his reputation outside and other things.
Therefore, the scale of processing should not be too large.
They were wary of rats and cherished their feathers, but that was not the case with Ke Jiu, the assailant.He missed a single blow, but his character of traveling thousands of miles away is not bad.In this case, unless the previous employer promised a higher price, they dared to risk their lives.
After all, things like adding money can be said to be a universal means in many places.
"It's not a problem for the enemy to be in the dark. As long as he dares to show up next time, then we will definitely get enough information to support us in dealing with the enemy."
To put it bluntly, the biggest problem is that there is too little information.Whether it was the message to Fleur, Kris and Jenkins, or the attacker.Even information about experiments that Taylor was in charge of.
Dumbledore had no idea what Taylor had been researching so far.It stands to reason that he should know this kind of thing.After all, he was the headmaster, and when conducting experiments in school, it was always inevitable to greet Dumbledore.Because Dumbledore is the caretaker of Hogwarts Castle.
But when Luke showed up, it was different.Just like Luke's room, maybe there is some special treatment somewhere.The Chamber of Secrets can be said to be the public area of Hogwarts.
After all, it was really built within the confines of Hogwarts.But if you say it is Slytherin, or the private property of the Gaunt family, it is not too much.After all, Snake Old Talk and Snake Language are basically the standard equipment of the Gunter family.As for other people who want to enter the lower secret room to hunt for treasure, it depends on Luke's face.
It's useless to look at other people's faces.If there is no Luke's approval in the secret room, every step forward in the secret room will be accompanied by life and death crises.
Therefore, although the idea that the secret room is private property is a bit weird, it is also somewhat unreasonable.
Dumbledore still doesn't know what Luke's instructions to Taylor are for Taylor to study.
It will attract attacks from others.
Dumbledore looked at Luke who was thinking in profile, shook his head and said, "You kid is not telling the truth. But I don't think there will be a third party joining."
"If a third party joins in, it's impossible not to leave any clues."
This also made Luke breathe a sigh of relief.Although I don't know how Dumbledore came to the conclusion.But he also knows that he can still hear good news today.
"I don't think your initial thoughts may be wrong."
Dumbledore looked at the two points of magic power and said to Luke: "Fleur and Chrissy are right.
We are both acquaintances.So basically any disposition can be determined, so the biggest suspicion actually falls on Jenkins Moore. "
Luke nodded too.Although it seems to be back, this time is completely different from the original one.This time, Luke and the others returned to their original position after eliminating some possibilities.It is equivalent to walking in the maze once, returning to the original path after marking, and then walking again.
"If you search from here, you probably won't find anything."
Dumbledore drank some of the tea on the table and rubbed his eyes.Staying up late is very harmful to the body of young people.The physical toll on the elderly will only be greater.
It is true that the elderly feel less tired, but it does not mean that they are not easily tired. "If you want to find out some flaws, try to check from Beauxbaton Village."
Luke also thought of this: "I wrote to Mrs. Maxim and Professor Sprout before. I hope they can help to investigate this matter. I don't know when there will be results."
Then, Luke glanced at Dumbledore, and said, "When necessary, ensuring your own safety is not a priority. If the opponent's attack hits my face, I won't be afraid to fight."
Luke's combat effectiveness is not weak at all, it might be better to say that he is very strong, but no one can fight him, and he doesn't know how strong he is now.
If something unexpected happens, Luke will turn around and drive all three Frenchmen away.
Furong will definitely explain it alone, but others will not have such luck.
Seeing that Luke had made up his mind, Dumbledore smiled and said, "That's right."
Then he changed his face and said to Luke, "About Sirius..."
"The things over there are easy to solve. I don't need to worry too much. To put it bluntly, Sirius himself can handle it very well at this point."
Luke said frankly to Dumbledore: "I played a little trick in this matter. But it shouldn't hurt. It should be the way things are. I just flapped my wings a little bit."
Luke rushed to say what Dumbledore said.
After a moment of silence, Luke took a deep breath, stood up, and said to Dumbledore, "Then please. I don't think the other party is really aiming at Taylor and her research. After all, Professor you Without knowing the content of the research, it is even more impossible for others. Therefore, the root cause of this matter must still lie in me.”
"So, professor, help me protect other people when necessary. If the previous attacker is handed over to me alone, it may not be impossible to solve it."
Dumbledore nodded when he heard the words: "Your idea is also a good thing. But you have to be sure."
Luke chuckled and said, "After yesterday's contact, I don't want to be too confident."
After speaking, he turned and left Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore looked at Luke's back and took a deep breath.
Since Luke's arrival, his previous plans have basically been destroyed.And he himself didn't have too much time and energy to trouble Voldemort with four or five categories.
If there is already a candidate for the follow-up suppressor and leader of the wizarding world, then Dumbledore doesn't have to think about using his own death to create a new leader.
Then Voldemort, who has been fully resurrected, may still be a little dangerous.But the fragmented Voldemort, let alone Luke, even Dumbledore didn't pay attention.Otherwise, in the original book, Voldemort was used again and again as a sharpening stone.
Originally Dumbledore himself was the quenching water.Use his death to make his chosen savior completely give up fantasy and face reality.
But now, the leader has a ready-made one, and he is not even used to train him.So of course Dumbledore no longer thought about giving up his own life.However, if these ready-made leaders are not guided well, the degree of harm will naturally not be lower than that of Voldemort.
So Dumbledore is now
More energy should be put on guiding Luke.
If there is no good guidance in Luke's growth again, leading to a bad ending.Then Dumbledore can hardly bear such a blow.
A mistake in my own judgment will lead many innocent Muggles and wizards to a path of no return.
After experiencing such a thing once, that is, after failing to teach Tom well that year, Dumbledore learned a lesson, and of course he will not fail to teach Luke again.
Dumbledore knocked on the table and looked at the two magic balls suspended in the air in front of him.
This is the magic remnant he found.Aside from the nature of the magic the spell imparts, the magic produced by each person is different.In the eyes of some people who know better, this time is the real place to distinguish a wizard.
After all, in the wizarding world, other things are still too easy to pretend.
Luke didn't pay much attention to these two small balls at the time. If he did, he would know that this thing is not simple.
There are very few people who can clearly see the essence of other people's magic power.
At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Dumbledore's mind.
"Yes, there is still such a possibility."
