Chapter 437 End of Semester
Whether it is a major cleanup within the company or the implementation of a new law in the wizarding world, it is actually a big event.But Luke cared little about either of those things.Even his own owl sends at least two letters to him every day.
At dinner time today, Luke received another letter.Only this letter was sent by an unknown owl.
Tyler took a look at the envelope, and he could tell at a glance that the envelope was of good texture and the exquisite pattern of bronzing on the envelope, all of which showed that the identity of the sender of this letter was not simple.
"Whose letter?"
They didn't have everyone eating together today.The semester is basically over.The Quidditch Academy Cup finals will be played in these two days.Not surprisingly, Slytherin, with its superior equipment, and Gryffindor, with its talented seeker, had the last laugh.
Moreover, Harry's equipment also crushed all other little wizards.
"Using a Firebolt in this situation is a joke!" Draco Malfoy complained.
But it was a small gift from someone's godfather, and no one could tell if it was wrong.Although Harry has always been taken care of by Luke, this is the first time he has experienced this kind of legal elders, or even the care of his father.
"Letter from Old Lance." Luke didn't hide it, opened the envelope in front of the four girls around him, and read the contents of the letter.
Fleur is used to such scenes.
As long as Luke has something serious to do, the other three girls present, even Luna, who has the most out-of-the-box personality, will not make any noise to disturb him.And as they got along with each other during this period of time, Fleur also understood the charm of Luke.
When a person is handsome, eloquent, emotionally intelligent, ambitious, passionate, talented and rich.It is difficult for such a person to be unattractive.It's just that it will look too dazzling, and it will discourage many people.
Of course, everyone around Luke knows that he has such and such small shortcomings, so they don't think he is the sun hanging high in the sky.
"Did you say something?"
Fleur asked after seeing Luke look away from the letter paper.
While putting the letter back into the envelope, Luke said, "Old Lance came to plead guilty, saying that his people were infiltrated by people from other organizations."
Fu Rong's expression froze when she heard the words: "This..."
Her first reaction was of course 'this is a big deal'. After all, an organization, especially an organization that wants to hide its strength, is placed undercover, which is a very serious matter.
But before she could say anything, she saw that the expressions of the people in front of her didn't change at all.I am not surprised at all by this news, let alone feel solemn.
"Is it all right?"
Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Fu Rong asked directly.
Luke didn't answer, and Hermione said first: "It's not a big deal. The company itself is actually just a cover. It's a deterrent on the surface, and it's also something for anyone to check."
"The main responsibility of the company is to make money. Other things are run in the shadow of the company. These people can't get in touch."
Luna also smiled and said, "It's strange that there are no undercover agents. After all, the company is like a forbidden forest. There are too many animals in it."
Fleur still felt a little helpless after hearing Luna's words.She could understand everything the little girl said.But I still feel that her way of describing it is quite unique.
"Yes, so don't worry. However, the elimination plan is indeed being implemented now. We have almost made progress. We can eliminate the work and streamline the team."
What Luke said was also quite direct and unceremonious.
There is nothing to worry about in itself.The other party approached with ill intentions, and Luke chose to throw the trash after achieving his goal.
The two sides are simply using each other. Whoever has no use value first and whoever discards it is purely a matter of technique.If Luke's methods are not high enough, or the power behind it is not so solid, then Luke will be kicked out now.
Fortunately, Gemma did not disappoint Luke.His decentralization has indeed been effective.
"Has there been no letter from Sister Gemma?"
Taylor asked with some doubts: "It stands to reason that she should be the first to write to you."
Hermione and Fleur gave Tyler a sharp look, and then both fell silent.
Gemma Farley's power all comes from Luke's trust.Taylor is not sowing discord now, but asking Luke to strengthen communication with Gemma Farley.By the way, I also helped Gemma get rid of this thunder.
Some words, once spoken, will no longer be pursued.Writing something down in the little notebook in the back of your mind will lead to a worse outcome.
"It's okay, Gemma should have discovered something else. It seems that cleaning up the company is not that simple."
There was no doubt in Luke's words.He also knew that Taylor meant to dispel his doubts, or to tell him not to worry if he had doubts.If there was anything wrong with Luke's mood, Taylor would be the one to comfort him.
However, since he has decided to delegate power to Gemma, of course he will not break his word.However, this is another test.Gemma successfully completed the work of cleaning up the company.But without reporting for such a long time, it is necessary to come up with a sufficiently convincing result.
"It's fine if you think so."
Taylor did not continue to advance on this topic, but said: "I have already planted the sapling you brought me. Judging from the experimental data of living materials I collected, there is indeed a high probability of success."
Luke was refreshed when he heard this, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Then continue to study, don't be polite, just ask Slytherin directly if you have any questions. He may not have any creative thinking, but the foundation and experimental ideas are definitely very solid."
But Taylor didn't agree, but said helplessly, "But I'm going to stop for a while."
When Luke heard this, the smile on his face froze for a moment, but after a while, he returned to normal: "It's okay. I believe you have a sense of proportion."
Taylor nodded: "My research has also fallen into some difficulties. Moreover, it takes time for trees to grow, and it is impossible to catch them all. I plan to study in that laboratory again this vacation, Hermione, is that okay?"
Tyler ignored Luke and went directly to talk to Hermione.Because last time, she also joined that research team under the leadership of Hermione.
Hermione nodded without hesitation, "No problem. During the last Christmas vacation, the professor asked us if we were interested in doing another internship. It seems that you really made him love talents."
Hermione couldn't help but feel a little emotional.Taylor's talent in research, and the fact that she is completely out of touch with Muggle science, but she has studied extremely in-depth and complex characteristics at the level of wizard's magic theory and application, really made her a genius enough to be coveted by professors.
After all, Taylor wasn't inexperienced with research.Her research just wasn't in the same world as Muggle science.But even so, some ideas can still inspire each other.It can be regarded as a bypass in a sense.
Taylor did not refuse: "That's good, I also want to learn more."
As she said that, she looked at Luke: "If I want to study in a Muggle university, can I?"
Faced with such a request, Luke frowned and pondered for a moment: "There is no need for this at the moment. And even if you want to study, you can't start studying at university."
Luke explained: "This can be said to be the difference between two big trees. You have been climbing on a big tree. If you want to fully learn the knowledge of another big tree, you can only learn from the tree. The roots are starting to creep up.”
"If you really want to go to university to study, I suggest you take advantage of this time to supplement the basic knowledge. You don't need to supplement all of them. First, see what you want to learn, and then just learn what is related to it. .”
"About this point, I will find someone to contact you. I will give you a plan. If the schedule is right, I can find time for you to go to college next year."
"After all, the Three Witches Tournament will be held in the school next year. Relatively speaking, our studies will inevitably be delayed. It shouldn't be a big problem to leave for a semester."
Although in fact, simply studying for a semester is not very useful.After all, Muggle science is not something that can be summed up in a few words.These two big trees, which seem to have no intersection, may intersect after reaching a certain height.
It's just that Luke didn't say such a thing. After Taylor went to study for a while, it would naturally become clear. Then, Luke believed that she would make the right choice.
The main thing is that Taylor's progress is not a problem.Although if you want to do this, you will definitely have to be tested by the professors at Hogwarts.
Taylor nodded, she had anticipated all these difficulties.It's not like she's having a hot head all of a sudden.It was a decision made after careful consideration.
"Since we're talking about summer vacation arrangements..."
Hermione looked at the other two girls and Luke, and asked, "What about you?"
Luna said in a voice like a silver bell: "Adventure."
Hearing this, Hermione looked at the wreath on her head that hadn't withered, not even dimmed, like a fake flower.
"Or did this garland tell you?"
Hermione asked with a strange expression.
This question finally got a positive answer from Luna.
"Yes, she told me."
"Okay...Although I can't understand it, as long as you pay attention to safety."
As they got along and got closer, Hermione also knew that Luna was special.Sometimes, she will always say something that everyone can't understand.But with the passage of time and the deepening of their understanding, they discovered that what Luna said was not unreasonable.
So, there is no more mocking now.Even if I don't understand, I just feel a little helpless.
Luna didn't care about other people's attitudes, she just looked at Luke: "Luke, do you want to come with us?"
As soon as these words came out, Gemma and Hermione lifted their spirits, and looked at Luna with dangerous eyes.
But soon, they realized that such eye contact with Luna was useless, so the two looked at Luke together.
Luke smiled helplessly, then shook his head and said, "I also have some things to deal with. I still won't act with you this year."
After getting such an answer, Luna didn't look depressed at all, as if she wasn't the one who was rejected.
Hermione and Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at each other, their faces turned red.
Luke's refusal has nothing to do with these two people.He does have some things to take care of himself.After all, he has experienced a lot in this school year.Many things have only been dealt with roughly, and there are still things that need to be sorted out.
After finishing speaking, Luke looked at Fleur: "How about you, Fleur? Do you have any arrangements?"
Fu Rong took a bite of the bread on the plate, and then said: "Special training. If there is no accident, I will be one of the warriors in the Three Witches Tournament next year, so I must have special training to make myself more confident. "
Although according to common sense, the rewards of the Three Witches Tournament are not very generous.It's just some material rewards, there is no so-called preferential treatment.But the title of the winner of the Three Witches Tournament is enough to get a good job after graduation.
Although... From this point of view, there is no need for Fu Rong to worry about rewards and winning.
but……
"After all, no one wants to lose after participating."
Fleur has never been a character who gives up easily.Don't say that Luke is her boss, even if Luke is her husband, in the game, at most, she just promises not to kill Luke.
However, she did not doubt that Luke could participate in the competition.
After all, for Luke, such an opportunity is nothing more than saying hello to Dumbledore.
In the three colleges, when two of the three principals belong to Luke, there is no suspense about these things.
For this answer, everyone present nodded.They have also heard of the names of the Three Witches Tournament.Although it is said to be a competition between students, the form is different every time, and the restrictions on participation are also different.
The only two points in common, one is that the contestants are selected by the Goblet of Fire, and the other is that every session must have someone die.
The former is a rule, while the latter is more like a curse, and it is also an important reason for the suspension of this game.
"The Three Witches Tournament is indeed very important." Luke nodded.
After the Three Witches Tournament, he will implement the next plan in the UK.
After a moment of silence, Hermione said helplessly: "My holiday schedule is very boring. I still study."
She does have a good talent in memory magic, but it's just a talent.Hermione, who has no relevant magical talents, is actually much lower than Luke and Taylor in terms of starting point.
Her study is also more difficult than imagined.Although she knew that Ms. Ravenclaw was squeezing her, she just didn't want to admit defeat.
It didn't make sense, it didn't make sense that Hermione wouldn't learn this well.It's okay to have no chance to learn, the opportunity is in front of you, and there is no reason to miss it.
Luke looked at the girls on the table, smiled slightly and said, "Then I wish everyone all the best during the holidays."
In this way, Luke ushered in the end of his third grade study career.
