Rose Garden?
Lucas also wanted to ask who was waiting for him, but he saw that Fleur had returned to Beauxbatons group.
He greeted the three women, turned and walked out of the great hall.
Not long after he left, the Gryffindor seventh year students followed suit.
Harry wanted to follow up to have a look, but was blocked by his friends.
"Whatever he does, let those seventh years teach him a lesson."
Ronald drank the butterbeer the twins had brought.
At this moment, he was showing obvious signs of drunkenness.
Otherwise, as someone who has seen Lucas kill a dragon with his own eyes, he would never say such a thing.
…
It snowed heavily yesterday, which added a lot of charm to this year's Christmas.
When Lucas went outside the castle, he found that the snow that had been ankle-deep had been cleared away.
The plants in front of the door had also turned into a passageway, and the lights of fairies illuminated inside.
This means that there are probably hundreds of fairies in there.
It was still winter, but the path leading to the rose garden was full of colorful flowers.
As for the rose garden, it was actually specially created for this Christmas ball.
Not only the garden, but also many bushes outside the castle.
Lucas walked deep along the path, startling countless wild ducks.
"Severus, what should I do? It's getting more and more obvious, you said it would be a while before he comes back, you can't lie to me."
"Then just run away, I will help you deal with the matter here."
Snape impatiently dealt with the coward in front of him, he's had enough of this idiot.
What Karkaroff saw that day was not his real self, so Snape didn't understand why he should lie for his fake self.
Karkaroff wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a sound from the nearby bushes.
With a wave of Snape's wand, the bushes parted.
Seeing the two people hiding inside, Snape said coldly: "Ten points from Ravenclaw, ten points from Hufflepuff."
The young wizard and witch hurried towards the castle, they didn't dare to refute Professor Snape's decision at all.
Lucas strolled past the two, then walked towards Snape calmly.
"Professor, so you are here. I was wondering why I didn't see you in the great hall. Since you're busy with Headmaster Karkaroff, I won't bother you anymore."
The two watched Lucas pass by and didn't continue talking until his figure disappeared.
Lucas didn't expect that the rose garden would be so exciting. It seems that all the people who hide secrets were gathering here.
Like the fake Moody in front of him, he was next to Cedric at the moment, telling him about the language of merpeople.
"Cedric, let me tell you that merpeople have terrible voices. Of course, what I'm talking about is on land. Their voices are very pleasant in the water."
"I once heard Barty Crouch speak Mermish on land. It was too harsh, almost as bad as if someone had cast the Cruciatus Curse on me."
Cedric looked at the drunken professor in front of him, feeling very helpless.
Still, he noticed something Moody said and realized that this is the secret about the golden egg.
Then he prepared to leave in silence, but unexpectedly, Moody suddenly grabbed his hand.
"I heard that before the first task, Potter went to you and gave you a hint about the task. He is quite a good lad, maybe you should return the favor."
After saying this, Moody immediately let go of Cedric's wrist and fell asleep on the bench he was sitting on.
Seeing the snoring Professor Moody, Cedric turned away and walked towards the castle.
It wasn't until he was gone for a long time that the fake Moody opened his eyes.
After making sure there was no one around, he limped out of the rose garden.
A rift opened in the void right after and Lucas' figure appeared in the position where the two had just been.
Alastor Moody's magic eye was a real nuisance.
Something like the disillusionment charm is completely useless in front of him.
After all those unexpected detours, Lucas finally arrived at the center of the rose garden.
Looking at the girl standing quietly under the moonlight he didn't bother her.
Luna means moon.
At this moment, Luna really looked like a moon goddess. Especially the pair of silver eyes, which look very beautiful against the moonlight.
"Lucas Grindelwald, why don't you speak when you're here."
"I was afraid to disturb you, you usually look cute, but today you're beautiful, stunning even."
Looking at Luna in a long dress, Lucas said words of praise from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you, can you dance with me?"
"Of course, but why not in the great hall?"
Luna didn't answer.
But looking at her shy look, Lucas probably understood the reason.
Under the light of the moon, Lucas bent slightly, and the girl in front of him made an invitation.
The two naturally held each other close. Although there was no music, the pace of the two was very natural as if they were dancing to some music only the two of them could hear.
Feeling the heat coming from the boy in front of her, Luna's face gradually became covered with a red veil.
"Mr Grindelwald."
"What is it?"
"Please be careful in the tournament, I will always cheer for you."
"Thanks!"
With a smile in his eyes, Lucas sincerely thanked the usually eccentric girl.
Then the two remained silent until the dance was over.
"Mr Grindelwald."
"You should just call me by my name."
"Lu, Lucas, I want to tell you that the golden egg is actually in the language of mermaids, and the content can only be heard underwater."
"My father and I once went to interview mermaids. When they spoke on land, their voices were exactly the same as those in the golden eggs."
Lucas didn't expect that besides dancing, the girl also wanted to tell him the clue of the golden egg
No wonder she chose a place with so few people.
"Thank you, Luna!"
"You're welcome, I'm very happy to be of help to you."
The girl under the moonlight showed a happy smile and her eyes became like crescent moons.
Not giving a chance for Lucas to offer going back to the castle together, Luna lowered her head and ran into the distance.
That being the case, Lucas planned to use void fissure to return to the castle, which would also ensure he doesn't disturb other couples that might be in the garden "socializing".
But when he sensed the space coordinates, he felt that not far away there was someone who opened a rift in the void, so he followed the feeling to a bench in the distance.
"Isn't my idea great? Dance with roses and moonlight, plus an important message, then give him a kiss before leaving, I promise Lucas will never forget you."
"I didn't dare to do the kiss part, so I ran away!"
"Luna Lovegood, how can you ruin the romantic scene I designed for you, Salazar, how can I meet such a stupid girl!"
Hearing that everything just now was thought up by the normally childish Medusa...
Lucas was rather curious about what she had learned in the past thousand years.
But when he glanced at the flushed Luna, he decided to forget about it this time, since it wasn't something bad.
He turned around and disappeared into the void rift.
As soon as he left, Medusa looked towards his hiding place, since both of them have the ability to travel through the void, they can't really hide from each other when they use their void related abilities.
Medusa flicked her tail, she actually said those words out loud on purpose. She just wanted Lucas to understand that the little girl she took a liking to had strong feelings for him.
Back at the castle, Lucas tidied up his dress robes and walked towards the great hall.
As he came up the stairs from the dungeon, he noticed that Harry was standing in the hallway.
"Lucas."
Seeing him appear, Harry greeted him.
"What's the matter, Mr. Potter?"
Seeing that he was still treating him with coldness, Harry's expression darkened.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to owe you a favor, you asked Draco to tell me the content of the first task after all."
"Although he was interrupted by Professor Moody, it was really kind of you, so I came this time to tell you the clues of the second task."
Seeing Lucas raise his eyebrows, Harry continued: "Put the golden egg underwater, and you can hear what's inside."
"I haven't tried it yet, but Cedric told me. Believe it or not, I'm leaving."
Seeing Harry walking quickly into the great hall, Lucas suddenly laughed.
Harry is quite interesting.
Even after being under the curse of desire for so long, he could still have kind thoughts in his heart, which is not an easy feat.
Lucas felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and then entered the great hall.
The dance ended promptly at 12 midnight.
Lucas returned to the Slytherin common room late because he had to send the three girls back to their dormitories.
The students, who were dancing and partying all night, fell asleep as soon as they returned to their dormitories.
So when Lucas entered the common room, there was no one in it.
"Lord Chief!"
The sudden voice startled Lucas.
Looking at the sofa in the corner with the help of a lumos spell, he saw Astoria sitting there quietly.
"Astoria? What can I do for you?"
"Well, sir, can you dance with me?"
Seeing the anxiety in the little girl's eyes, Lucas showed a gentle smile: "Of course, it's my honor to dance with Miss Astoria."
As Lucas danced with Astoria, the professors who were making their night rounds found several unconscious Gryffindor students in the rose garden outside the castle.
They didn't even know why they were unconscious or why they appeared in the garden.
But this does not prevent the professors from deducting Gryffindor's house points.
…
The following morning Lucas really wanted to sleep in, but unfortunately, today is the day he made an appointment to meet Lucius Malfoy.
After dragging his tired body from the bed, he proceeded to change his clothes.
Lucas and Draco left Hogwarts together.
Right after leaving the school grounds and Hogwarts wards, Lucas took Draco's arm and apparated them both to Wiltshire.
Looking at the luxurious Malfoy Manor in front of him, he took a deep breath.
Whether or not the old fox Lucius can be successfully won depends on today's discussion.
As soon as the gate of the manor was opened, Lucas and Draco stepped in.
