Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 65 Underwater of the Black Lake

When having breakfast the next morning, there were only a few people at the long Slytherin table.

The twins even swaggered up to Lu Ke: "Are they all sleeping in, Lu Ke?"

Lu Ke and Johanna laughed and said nothing.

When it was time to have lunch, Slytherin finally came to the hall, and there was also a bombardment of owls.

That's the new wand for purebloods.

At this time, what happened in the Slytherin common room finally began to spread slowly.

Of course, at first it was just a "little secret" between two people.

Lu Ke didn't care about this at all. He was still doing homework and writing papers in class. The Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the morning was interesting, but it was too easy for Lu Ke.

After all, not all harmful magical creatures can survive Lu Ke's strange power.

Lu Ke took out the oil painting with the Ravenclaw map next to it, and began to think seriously about the two puzzles.

For the young man in the oil painting, Lu Ke has determined that he is Hermes. As the famous founder of alchemy, Hermes represents the ultimate goal in alchemy. If I have to say it, it is the magic stone or gold. .

But if the answer is this, it's too simple.

However, Lu Ke couldn't think of any other answers, so he put them aside for the time being.

As for the map, it was another day now. After careful calculation, Lu Ke wrote a new sentence on it.

This is a casually pieced together sentence that can accurately move the marked text to Lu Ke's target location: under the Black Lake.

Then finally, the flowing ink gathered into new words, and at the bottom of the black lake, a new mark appeared: The Nest of the Giant Squid.

To Lu Ke's surprise, at the same time, a sapphire mark appeared next to the mark, which represented the entrance and exit of the Room of Requirement.

In other words, Lu Ke can now reach the place deep in the black lake through the Room of Requirement.

Lu Ke sighed and put away the map.

For him now, this is a very dangerous and almost impossible thing to do.

"There's another Transfiguration class in the afternoon..."

Johanna sighed: "I really hope it can end soon."

Now she is completely addicted to Quidditch, and Johanna's talent for magic has begun to show. She is obviously not good at transformation, but for the magic of changing other people's minds, Johanna is better than anyone else.

This is obviously inherited from that ancestor.

"By the way, can you tell Professor McGonagall that instead of going to class, let's do experiments?"

Johanna was obviously delusional.

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head.

After the Charms class, Professor McGonagall handed over the compiled experimental results to Lu Ke. As before, Lu Ke was responsible for the thesis part.

"I've noticed that you have a special talent for persuading others through simple words."

Professor McGonagall's expression was very meaningful when she said this.

The rest of the afternoon was spent training Johanna, and then the two returned to the hall and had dinner.

Then Lu Ke started writing the paper.

Lu Ke was not worried at all about this paper. He was even doing two things while still thinking about the paper on the history of magic.

At this time, a Slytherin hesitantly sat next to Lu Ke.

"Hello...Lu Ke."

Lu Ke raised his head and glanced blankly.

This was an acquaintance, the fifth-year prefect who spoke to Lu Ke during the sorting ceremony, and she was also one of the Slytherins whose wand was broken by Pallas last night.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Lu Ke smiled at her.

"I came here to ask a question."

The female prefect was obviously confused: "How can we prevent the decline of pure-blood families?"

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh. He was a rare pragmatist, and he was also smart: at least he knew how to hide behind others when he did bad things.

"What is the typical source of income for pureblood families?"

The female prefect was stunned for a moment: "Shops, most of the shops in Diagon Alley belong to pure-blood families, and there are also small workshops that make wands, robes, and some magic potions, which are relatively ancient businesses."

Lu Ke nodded: "Pure-blood families who don't have these, all they own are castles, Gringotts' deposits, some things with a long history that can't be exchanged for money, right?"

The female prefect nodded: "Do you think there is a difference between the two?"

Lu Ke smiled: "Of course, the latter are the ones who are dissatisfied with the status quo. They are the ones who work hard to tell others that pure-blood families are declining, which is why so many pure-blood families hate Muggle-born wizards."

The female prefect was stunned for a moment: "It seems... so."

"The real decline of pure-blood families is that they maintain the same daily expenses as before, but are unwilling to do jobs that can make money. Probably in their view, this is very un-aristocratic."

The female prefect sighed: "But there are no nobles in the wizarding world."

Lu Ke nodded: "So they declined. In my opinion, this cannot be stopped, and it does not deserve sympathy."

The female prefect shook her head and said nothing more.

"Of course, these people will definitely choose to support the mysterious man, because the mysterious man is the first person to do bad things."

Before the female prefect said anything, Johanna on the side said curiously: "What do you mean?"

"In the current wizarding world, there is no equality between nobles and peasants. What those pure-bloods want is to be nobles themselves and others to be peasants. The beginning of all this is to kill those who dare to resist and create wizards who are accustomed to being peasants. , and who dares to kill anyone now? Only the mysterious man."

The female prefect shook her head in pain: "How is this possible..."

Lu Ke smiled: "Just look at the history of magic. When did wizards and Muggles come into contact most often? Before the Dark Ages, wizards were equal, and Muggles were nobles. Later, it was the Dark Ages. , wizards were forced to separate from Muggles by the witch-hunting movement, and the contradiction between pure-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards emerged. "

"Why do wizards hate their own kind when they are alone?"

The female prefect looked at Lu Ke: "Isn't it because Muggles hurt wizards?"

Lu Ke smiled: "Have Muggles really harmed wizards? The witch-hunting movement is a joke in the history of magic."

"The fact is that wizards and Muggles used to live together. They were nobles. After the witch-hunting movement, wizards and wizards lived together. The pure-bloods who were originally nobles needed new farmers and servants, but they couldn't find them at this time. Muggles, there are only Muggle-born wizards left.”

Johanna nodded: "But Muggle-born wizards are also wizards, and they will not find a noble master for themselves."
