Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 138 The Abnormality of Harassment Horseflies
"Luna..."

Every time she opened her eyes and saw this familiar home, Luna Lovegood always had visions of that gentle figure still around her.

Luna's father is the editor-in-chief of a magazine called "The Quibbler". From the sound of it, you can tell that this is a media outlet that stands against mainstream opinion.

Many people think that Luna's father is eccentric, and Luna's mother is naturally unusual as she falls in love with such a person.

She was a woman who was addicted to the beauty of magic, but had a very gentle and tolerant personality, and could tolerate all the edges and "unruly" of her husband.

But as Roger's experiences show along the way, magic is a dangerous thing.

Without the prophetic ability to sense crises, Roger would have failed countless times on the road of developing magic.

There has never been a shortage of people who love magic in this world since ancient times, but those who explore magic without a sense of crisis will mostly encounter unfortunate endings.

Some appeared in St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and some...

"Let's go, we should go to Diagon Alley." The voice of father Xenophilius came.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Hearing this, Luna hid the sadness in her eyes and forced a smile on her face.

Although she was only 11 years old, she was very smart and knew that her father was more sad than she was about her mother's departure.

So she rarely shows her other side in front of her father, and she tries her best to make the atmosphere at home better.

Soon, Luna changed into her going-out clothes and walked out of the house with her father.

Because of the cooperation between Germany and the British Ministry of Magic, the public opinion trend that had originally ended due to judicial reform has become lively again.

This resulted in Xenophilius, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, having to work overtime for long periods of time.

It was not until a few days before the start of school that he finally had time to accompany his daughter to buy the items and textbooks needed for admission to Hogwarts.

Entrust it to someone else? Xenophilius only has this one precious daughter, and he doesn't feel comfortable handing the child over to someone else.

In other words, among the people he knew and could call upon, no one was worthy of his trust.

Arriving at Diagon Alley, the father and daughter, like other families with little wizards around them, bought teaching materials, potion-making supplies such as knives, chopping boards, crucibles, wands, school uniforms, and magical pets.

Pushing a cart filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, the smile on Luna's face was no longer forced like it was in the morning, but came from the heart.

For Luna, who is full of curiosity and loves all kinds of incredible things, being able to learn magic is a very happy thing in itself.

Luna rubbed her own wand in her hand with care. The moment she possessed it, she felt that she was one step closer to her mother and the legends in the stories.

She was looking forward to it.

After entering Hogwarts, the school that carries the youth of all the young wizards in Britain, what magical things will I encounter in these seven years?
I have bought almost everything I needed, except for the textbooks.

That one is the largest and heaviest, so it is usually bought last.

As Luna and her father were walking towards Flourish and Blotts, suddenly...

"Harassment flies..." The density of the invisible creatures in the eyes of others began to increase.

And gather in one direction.

Luna turned her head in that direction and saw that the harassment horseflies, which were not too numerous in the past, were now swarming in like a crowd covering the sky.

The scene reminded her of a photo of a tornado she had seen before.

But only Luna could see this shocking scene. In the eyes of others, Diagon Alley was now sunny and windy, just as usual.

And in her impression, there is only one person who can cause similar phenomena.

Prophet, Roger!
But he wasn’t so exaggerated the last time I saw him, right?
With a hint of curiosity, Luna handed the cart in her hand to her father.

"Luna, where are you going?!" In the face of Xenophilius' confused expression, Luna pushed away the crowd in front of her and walked forward.

Able to sense creatures that others cannot, and able to know who the person behind is before he or she gets close.

Luna's 'inspiration' was so high that it surpassed other wizards by an order of magnitude. As she continued to move forward, she slowly approached the eye of the 'tornado' from the outside, and she felt countless harassment horseflies sliding past her body invisibly.

The touch that seemed to strike her soul directly made the hairs on her body stand on end.

But it was different from the usual encounters with harassment horseflies. This time, it was supposed to bring distracting thoughts and make people irritated, but it conveyed something else.

'To know everything about yourself'

'Strengthen your will'

'Becoming more powerful'

...It is still conveying certain information, but that information is no longer a mess of meaningless thoughts, but has a common "trend".

Although she can see the harassment fly, Luna actually doesn't know how it was born or what its specific ecology is like.

After all, she is only 11 years old this year, and she would never think of conducting very systematic biological research.

As a child, she preferred to observe everything from a fairy-tale perspective.

But at this moment, Luna suddenly realized something.

Everything has a root, just like we have parents, civilization has its origins, and the universe did not appear out of thin air.

Harassment flies can get into people's brains, spread distracting thoughts, and disrupt their minds, but these distracting thoughts must have a source.

After all, a harassing fly-like insect doesn't look like it can think in a complicated way.

Combining what was happening before her eyes and everything she felt, Luna had a guess in her mind.

Perhaps, the distracting thoughts spread by harassment flies are rooted in the emotions and thoughts of human beings that are scattered in the void.

The harassment flies eat it, transform it into the 'poison of distracting thoughts', and finally inject it back into the human brain.

The harassment I felt at this moment was completely different from before. I'm afraid it was because...

Luna was not sure whether her guess was correct, but at least Roger was an incredible person, and there was no doubt about that.

"Roger!" She called out to Roger who was walking forward and thinking about something.

"Long time no see." When he trotted a few steps and came close to Roger, the many harassing horseflies that were originally entangled around him immediately dispersed.

The harassing horseflies gathered around like a swarm covering the sky and the sun.

But there was no harassment horsefly around Roger, as if there was an invisible chasm between the two.

Roger also smiled and greeted Luna: "The last time we met was in late autumn last year. How are you doing recently? Have you prepared everything for school?"

Although they only met once, Roger had a good impression of the child.

During the incident of the Demon of Fear, as one of the few people who knew the whole story, Roger had discussed confidentiality with her.

And there has been no news in the past year, which is enough to prove that all parties have kept the secret completely, including the child Luna.

Keeping a big secret is not an easy task even for adults, and the fact that an 11-year-old child can do it is proof of Luna's strong will.

"Well, my father and I have almost bought everything."

"What about you? You came to Diagon Alley to buy..."

Pushing a cart through the crowd.

Xenophilius, who came in pursuit, saw his daughter chatting happily with the little prophet who often appeared in major newspapers.

Xenophilius's eyes couldn't help but become deep.
