Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 87 Luna Lovegood
"You're just going to leave everyone alone like this?"

Hermione asked proactively.

"Why, isn't this something you often do?"

".Even so—well, you're right, there's nothing to worry about."

Others didn't worry about it anymore.

But they couldn't continue the conversation they had just had - Professor Lockhart was certainly attractive, but wasn't the person next to him just as attractive?
The "characters" that the students outside were eager to meet were now sitting in the same carriage with them, reading quietly, and even rejecting other people's invitations for them.

For the first time, several people felt that although they already regarded Damon very seriously, they still seemed to be 'accustomed to it'.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and smacked their lips lightly.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Neville prepared himself mentally for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to say:
"Damon, my grandma said she hasn't seen you during the summer vacation. She hopes you have time to write her a letter."

"Yes, I will."

After a brief conversation, they fell silent again.

In the following time, they were quite absent-minded - how would the students outside the door react at this time?

Did they seem to hear some riddle before Damon cast the silencing spell?
I don’t know how long it took, but when the train was in the middle or latter part of its journey, the gate suddenly opened again.

Along with the exclamation, a girl with silver eyes and dark golden brown hair walked in.

She wore carrot-shaped earrings and a necklace made of butterbeer bottle corks, and stared at everyone with her slightly bulging eyes.

"Who set up that puzzle just now?"

After Ginny followed her into the carriage, the wall behind them closed and locked spontaneously, and the puzzle on the wall had a new answer.

"it's me."

Damon responded, recognizing the man.

Luna Lovegood, a freshman, is a quirky girl whose father is Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler magazine.

As for the beautiful red-haired girl behind her, she is Ginny from the Weasley family.

It seems they have become friends.

At this moment, Luna looked at Damon, while Ginny secretly looked at Harry - she had always admired this savior.

“It’s a very interesting puzzle.”

There were no extra seats, so Luna just stood in the space next to Damon and chatted with him.

Ginny, at Hermione's beckoning, sat in the empty seat next to her, and Neville was pushed into the corner.

The train rattled forward, and the voices of Luna and Damon's conversation continued to echo in the carriage. Although brief, every sentence was responded to.

"What was that strange creature on the puzzle on the wall earlier?"

"It's the Sphinx, also known as the Sphinx, a winged monster in Greek mythology with a lion's body and a woman's head.

It sat on a cliff near the city of Thebes and asked passers-by questions. If they could not answer the riddle, it would eat them.

One day, a wise man answered this question, and it jumped off a cliff out of shame and died."

"Hmm..." After hearing what Damon said, Luna narrowed her eyes, as if thinking about something.

"Perhaps the sphinx didn't really want to eat humans. Perhaps it was just so hungry that even its own puzzles began to make no sense."

Damon was a little stunned. "You mean it's very hungry?"

Luna nodded and said seriously:
"You think about it, it's a monster, sitting alone on the edge of a cliff, asking people riddles all day, and there's probably nothing else it can do.

So, when someone solved the riddle, it might just think, 'Finally, someone is willing to make a deal with me. I've asked the riddle so many times, and finally someone answered it today. I should give something in return! '" "Then it committed suicide and let others eat it."

"Haha, that's an interesting idea."

Damon was amused by her unique idea.

"Please take a seat."

Damon then waved his hand, and the space beside him suddenly began to deform, and a chair suddenly appeared behind Luna's feet.

"My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood."

Luna sat down contentedly and turned her gaze to Harry and Ron who were staring at her.

She sat upright, like a passenger going into space for the first time, her eyes curious and calm.

"Were you guys just guessing if I was wearing contact lenses?" She said in a flat tone, with a hint of seriousness. "I'm not. Don't worry, they're all in my dad's hat box now, with a feather mantis I picked up last year."

Harry didn't react for a moment: "Feather Mantis?"

"Yes, it's a very rare creature, a species of praying mantis that only performs an umbrella dance during a full moon. It has white feathers on its wings and is said to be able to sense when someone is lying."

She paused and looked at Ron. "If it heard you say 'she might not be right in her head', it might explode on the spot."

Ron seemed petrified, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open.

"I—I didn't say it?" His voice was weak.

Luna nodded and said seriously:

"You didn't say it, but feather mantises can hear 'thought waves'. Don't worry, I just said 'if', it's not here."

She said, patting a string of bell-like decorations hanging around her waist, "This will only sense whether the chair is whispering."

Ron stared at the bells with wide eyes, and everyone started laughing at his funny look.

Neville also relaxed. He held Leif tightly in one hand and reached into his schoolbag with the other hand to rummage around. He took out something - a small gray cactus planted in a pot, but it was not covered with thorns, but with boil-like things.

"Look, this is Mibu Mibao." He said proudly.

Damon looked at Mibu Mibao, who was jumping slightly, with disdain - why are the things Neville likes always so...
"This is very, very rare," Neville said, his face shining. "It may not even be found in the greenhouse at Hogwarts!"

"I really want to show it to Professor Sprout right now. My great-uncle Algie got it for me from Assyria. I want to see if I can grow it."

"The grandfather who threw you out of the window while hanging upside down?"

"Yeah, but that's not important. Let me show you Mibu Mibao's amazing self-defense mechanism!"

When he said this, Neville became proud. He took out a feather pen from his schoolbag, held the tip of his tongue between his teeth, raised the pot of Mibumibao in front of his eyes, found a place, and poked the plant hard with the tip of the feather pen.

Damon always had a bad premonition and quietly cast a full body armor spell to protect himself.

really.

The next moment, juice spurted from every boil on the plant, and streams of sticky, smelly, dark green liquid sprayed onto the car ceiling, the windows, and splashed onto Luna Lovegood's magazine.

Fortunately, Ginny covered her face with her arms in time, but her head looked like it was covered with a sticky, dirty green hat.

Harry was in a terrible situation. He was busy using both hands to catch Leif to prevent him from escaping, and ended up getting sprayed all over his face. The smell was like foul dung.

Everyone screamed. Damon quickly took out his wand and used it to clean up the mess. Looking at the frightened people, he laughed again.

In any case, these people really gave him a lot of fun before arriving at Hogwarts.
