Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

The name Luna means moon or moon goddess in Italian, and it also means moon in English.

Westerners believe that exposure to moonlight can drive people mad, so the root word "Luna" also means madness, which is probably where their werewolf legends come from.

Of course, werewolves really do exist in this world.

To outsiders, Luna does seem a bit crazy.

Therefore, in every respect, Luna and Lani are very compatible.

Lani's laws are related to the moon, specifically the cold, dark moon, and are destined to be misunderstood by ordinary people.

Both of them have an elusive quality, but compared to Luna's liveliness and cheerfulness, Lani is more composed and mature.

It's normal that these two can get along so well.

Zicomo shook his head and ignored him, flipping through the magazine in his hand.

This is a magazine edited by Luna's father, Xenophilius. And I must say, his writing is quite interesting.

His wildly imaginative ideas are exactly the same as Luna's.

It seems Luna inherited her father's talent.

"By the way, why haven't Harry and Ron come looking for us?"

Hermione flipped through the book out of boredom for a while, and then suddenly thought of this question.

"I don't know, maybe she's in another carriage. Surely she couldn't have missed the train?"

Zicomo flipped through the magazine and answered casually.

Then he remembered something; it seemed these two really had missed their train.

The Malfoy family's house-elf sealed off the entrance to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, leaving Harry and Ron locked outside.

It's ridiculous, really. Such an important transportation hub, and it's the day when young wizards start school.

The Ministry of Magic didn't even bother to send two people to guard the place.

Voldemort had only been in power for a little over a decade, and these wizards had already become complacent.

Luna noticed something, looked out the window, and spotted a flying car.

She pointed out the window and said, "Are the friends you're talking about those two outside the window?"

Everyone looked out the window and saw Harry and Ron driving a car through the air with terrified expressions.

Zicomo couldn't help but marvel at Luna's intuition.

Although Zicomo doesn't usually keep his mental perception active, his strong mental power means his perception is more than ten times higher than that of an average person.

Even he didn't notice Harry and Ron driving by in the sky; Luna was the first to notice.

"Merlin's beard! Aren't they afraid of being discovered by Muggles? If the professors find out, Gryffindor will lose a lot of points right at the start of the semester."

Hermione was shocked by the way the two went to school and said somewhat angrily.

The new semester has begun, and she hasn't earned a single credit for the college yet. On the contrary, Gryffindor might lose dozens or even hundreds of points because of these two guys' actions.

"I think we should be more worried about their safety than that. As far as I know, these two don't seem like they know how to drive."

Zicomo watched the car wobbling in the air and said with great interest.

If this happened on a regular road, rear-ending thirteen cars in a row would easily make him the "Central District Thirteen" legend.

“Cousin, you’re right. We must help them,” Hermione said worriedly.

Zicomo nodded, and before the car disappeared from everyone's sight, he cast an Ironclad Charm on Harry and Ron, and then added a Muggle Repelling Charm to the car.

This prevented Harry and Ron from falling off the car and dying, and also prevented the flying car from being discovered by Muggles.

Of course, if they had already been seen before that, then there was nothing Zicomo could do.

"Is this okay?"

Hermione was still somewhat worried about the two of them.

Zicomo shrugged and said, "What else? Did you expect me to shoot the whole car down?"

Thinking of the power of her cousin's magic, Hermione shuddered and shook her head vigorously.

If Zicomo really manages to shoot that car down, Hogwarts will probably be having a feast tonight.

"If you're still worried, you can write a letter to Professor McGonagall to explain things to them. After all, they can't just be driving a car in the sky for no reason."

Hermione thought Zicomo made a good point; the professors would find out sooner or later anyway, so it was better to write to Professor McGonagall now.

At least I can plead with her to deduct fewer points for the sake of her own academy.

So she took out paper and pen, wrote a letter and gave it to Erlot to take to Hogwarts.

Zicomo watched Errol fly away, clicked his tongue, and muttered a complaint in his mind.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a slow green train; even an owl can fly faster than it.

…………

The Hogwarts Express arrived at the school quickly.

After getting off the train, as is customary, first-year students are required to walk through Black Lake, and even Lani, who is a transfer student, is no exception.

Since she still had to be assigned to a different department later, she took Luna and boarded a boat at the dock.

After leaving Zicomo, Lani went from being expressionless to being utterly indifferent.

The small boat, which was originally meant for four people, was now completely deserted except for Luna; no one dared to approach her.

That imposing presence, standing at two meters tall, screamed "keep away, strangers!"

Meanwhile, Zicomo boarded a Thestral carriage.

Before the carriage stood a tall, rugged creature, entirely black, with a dragon's head, a horse's body, and wings on its back.

Hermione asked Zicomo curiously, "Cousin, what are those magical creatures up ahead?"

"Huh? You can see them? Those are Thestrals. It's said that only those who have witnessed death can see them."

Zicomo could certainly see them, after all, he had already fought his way through half of the border region.

He was curious about how Hermione had seen it.

The little witch thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Last semester I saw Quirrell turn to ashes. Does that count as witnessing death?"

Zicomo stroked his chin and nodded, thinking that must be the reason.

There is no accurate concept of what it means to have seen death.

To be brought back to life is to have seen death; to witness certain unforgettable scenes of death is also to have seen death; even to be saved from the brink of death is to have seen death.

It seems that the scene of Quirrell turning to dust left a deep impression on Hermione.

Looking at the Thestrals pulling the cart ahead, Zicomo wondered if he should take a batch to his 'Zen Garden'.

He's tired of flying broomsticks; he hasn't tried flying mounts yet.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ron's Death and the Contradictions of the Wizarding World

Upon arriving at the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Zicomo looked around but did not spot Harry and Ron.

These two guys, even though the car is much faster than Hogwarts, they still haven't arrived.

Could they be lost?

A moment later, Snape, with a gloomy face, led the first-year students in.

Well, Professor McGonagall is probably still waiting for Harry and Ron at the castle gate.

The Sorting Hat began the sorting process, while Professor McGonagall witnessed a scene outside the castle that had shocked the Old Lady for a whole year.

A car fell from the sky and crashed into the college's rare plant, the Mandarin Willow.

It is said that there are only three of these trees in the entire British wizarding world, with the other two located in the Ministry of Magic and in the wilderness.

The simple-minded willow tree, seeing someone break its branches, angrily twisted its trunk, trying to hit the car with a home run.

Fortunately, flying cars also have Arthur? (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)

When it encountered danger, it quickly retreated, only getting scratched by branches.

After moving to a safe distance, the car got angry.

Two guys who can't drive made a mess of its body.

Enraged, it opened the car door and flung Harry and Ron, along with their luggage, out of the car.

Then they turned the car around and sped off toward the Weasleys' house.

The two got up and looked up to see Professor McGonagall's serious face.

Harry swallowed hard and said weakly, "Professor McGonagall, I think I can explain."

"Come with me to the principal's office to explain."

Professor McGonagall turned around and gestured for the two to follow.

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Dumbledore finished his speech at the dinner and left.
