In the days following the sorting ceremony, Hermione had a feeling that she was possessed.Wherever she went, Luna followed her generously, as if she was using her brain to record something, whether it was eating or going to the toilet, Luna followed her, and even used her watch to keep time.During the 'small stove' process, which Hermione regarded as a relaxation time, Luna would also probe her brain at the door of the shooting range."
Staring" Luna hides behind the bunker by the door with a blank face.Miss Granger thought it was weird, but the physical education professor said it was good, so that she could feel the feeling of being chased by others, and it could be regarded as getting used to it in advance."
That's already a stalker, isn't it?
I'm going crazy" One day in about two weeks, Hermione complained to her PE professor that Luna was very fond of fantastic beasts and studied them, and she was even familiar with Hannah and Susan.It's just that her favorite is still pestering Hermione."
You still don't understand why she's following you?"
Su Ming is teaching Hermione to peel a pumpkin with a machete, simulating the process of shaving someone's head: "It's so disappointing to me, you calm down and think about it, what do you value by her?"
”"I gave her a lot of the gifts you gave me, but she just accepted them very calmly, not at all as happy as others, and I really don't know what she wants from me."
Hermione was very aggrieved, not that she didn't like Luna, but she felt that she should keep some distance."
Little fool, she has her own goals from start to finish."
Su Ming rubbed Hermione's head and motioned for her to rest for a while and drink a soda: "Think about it, she follows you and observes you, just to see your choice of the path to walk around the castle."
If she left her field of vision, she would time it, just guessing the location of the secret room. ”Putting down the machete, which was like a giant sword to her, Hermione, who was struggling with the soda bottle, was stunned for a moment, and then felt incredible: "If it weren't for the fact that the entrance to the secret room was in the women's bathroom on the second floor, and everyone generally avoided it, and it didn't seem abnormal, do you mean that she would be able to deduce the location of the secret room from my expression and other reactions?"
”"By feeling, to be exact, her senses are very acute, and it's a talent like a sixth sense."
Su Ming beckoned outside the door of the shooting range, and motioned for Luna, who was peeking in, to come over and drink soda: "If I'm not mistaken, she has already deduced that the entrance to the secret room is in the bathroom where Myrtle was killed, but she doesn't know the parseltongue and can't open the passage." ”"Hello Professor."
Luna's gaze was unfocused, she faced Su Ming, but her eyes seemed to be looking at something behind him, looking a little scared."
Don't worry, it doesn't bite."
Su Ming unscrewed the vigorous drink and handed it to her, revealing a gentle expression: "You have been following Hermione, do you want to know the location of the secret room?"
”"Yes."
Luna looked over the professor's shoulder and said why, she always felt that there was something there.Hermione rolled her eyes, her hand opening the bottle cap was weak, and she pinched Luna's little face: "Then you ask me directly!"
”"I'm exercising my thinking skills, and I've guessed that the entrance to the secret room is in the women's bathroom on the second floor, and I've talked to Myrtle, where you and the professor went last year."
Luna let her little face be pulled in Hermione's hands, and lowered her head to drink the soda: "But I only know that the password is a snake language, but I don't know how to say it specifically, I'm a little scared, and I want you to accompany me." ”Luna didn't tell the whole story.In fact, Myrtle is no match for her, and the ghost of the tragic death sees someone coming to ask her questions, and cries to the girl as usual about her tragic death and the coldness and loneliness of the afterlife.But Luna listened blankly for the whole night, no matter how much Myrtle cried, and even took out carrots to carve earrings, as usual as women chatting with each other and taking time out to make sweaters.Eventually, the ghost's tears drained, and Myrtle fled back to her toilet to rehydrate, only to tell what had happened in the bathroom last year under Luna's stalking.Hermione gave the soda to the professor and asked him to open it for help, pulling Luna to a chair and sitting down, "Why are you so curious about the secret room?"
”"I need money."
Luna gave a super-mature answer, and she also stretched out two fingers to compare the size of a golden Galleon: "I want to go to Sweden with my dad to find the scimitar-horned snorer, but our travel expenses are quite a few dollars, and if I can prove and see the secret room with my own eyes, and take some pictures there, I can sell the news to the Daily Prophet for a large sum of money." ”"It's all too realistic."
Hermione covered her head, she never thought that Luna was pestering herself because of this, let alone to sell the news for money.As a child of a family of double dentists, she was taken care of by a professor after entering school, and she never worried about money herself, because there was no need for money.The professor bought them all for her, and even when she came home during the summer vacation, she brought a lot of good things back to her parents like a hamster moving.And Luna's answer made Hermione fall into thought, she felt as if she was being compared, she couldn't tell where, but she suddenly felt that she was a little ignorant.Su Ming smiled dumbly, handed Hermione the soda with the bottle unscrewed, and asked her to quickly take a few sips to suppress the shock, this is indeed something that Luna can do, there is no fuss.There are not many readers of "Singing and Singing", and her father has to pay the contributors every month, and he can do the magic printing himself, but he needs money to buy paper and ink, plus to make ends meet.Income and expenses were almost offset, and Luna's family had nothing of value other than a strange-looking house.In a sense, Luna is much more mature than Hermione, she has understood the power of trading since she was a child, but her brain circuitry is slightly different.But geniuses never need to explain to others, and Luna is good that way."
How much money do you have left for your trip?"
He sat down a little farther away from the two girls, took out his cigarette and smoked, "I can sponsor you if it's not far away, but don't keep following Hermione, she's going to have a nervous breakdown." ”"Isn't it because of harassing flies?"
Luna asked cutely.There is no such thing in the wizarding world, not even the magical beasts in the singing and singing do not exist, not even Newt has ever seen them.It was all made up by Luna's father to coax his daughter.He knew what it meant for his wife's experiment to blow herself into a mist of blood in front of the father and daughter, and the psychological impact on his daughter must have been greater than the blow he himself had suffered.Could this have caused her daughter to be afraid of magic and reject it and her own talents?
This is not good, if she really suppresses her magical abilities all the time, it may turn her into an obsessive person, and she will not live to be ten years old.But as a Ravenclaw graduate, he has his own way.Since then, he has been making up stories, making up some magical wonders and non-existent magical animals to rekindle his daughter's interest in the magical world and erase her shadow of her mother's magical death.In order to give his daughter the feeling that 'all this is true' and 'everyone can recognize', he also started a magazine, which was ridiculed by countless people and has persisted.Maybe it's because it's been held on for too long, and it's true to tell too many lies.He became a little insane, and even really began to believe that the animals he had made up before really existed.The most brilliant lie must first deceive himself, he lives up to the name of Ravenclaw's genius, and his daughter has indeed been deceived by him and has grown up healthy.Luna had indeed been raised to be a very good child, she was not afraid of death at all, she was very intelligent, and she also felt sorry for her father, and wanted to prove to the wizarding world that her father was right by finding the scimitar-horned snoring beast.But this verification is destined to have no answers, Su Ming will not debunk these lies, at least not now: "Maybe there is a reason for harassing the fly, how about it?"
In fact, if you ask Hermione to borrow money, she will lend it to you, and you can pay it back slowly when you graduate and work. ”Luna thought for a moment and shook her head again: "I would rather get paid for what I do. ”"In this way, the exchange of labor for remuneration is very much to my liking."
Su Ming nodded, and he took out a few boxes of chocolate frogs to count as a deposit for Luna: "There is really one thing you can do, but it is inconvenient for Hermione and me." ”"Please, if you think it's worth 400 gold Galleons."
Luna looked up, and she held the soda bottle in her arms."
I heard you met a friend named Ginny on the train, and she has a notebook that answers questions, can you borrow it and show it to me and Hermione, and Professor McGonagall?"
The PE teacher proposes a task, a task that Luna can easily accomplish with her relationships.
