Luke looked at the two of them. "You probably didn't see the future. You saw what you wanted most deep down."
As soon as he said that, Fred showed no particular reaction, but George's face suddenly turned red.

Luke began seriously considering whether he should take the risk of going to the Chamber of Secrets to seek the inheritance.
The Twins exchanged a glance.
