The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 653 New Goals

"Ding-a-ling~"

The autumn breeze gently blew through the wind chimes on the porch, bringing Loila, who was sitting there, back to her senses. She gently put down her harmonica and looked thoughtfully at Miss Nagini sitting opposite her.

Wow, it's already summer! — This summer — or rather, this summer, it seems like Loila hasn't done anything at all.

She probably dealt with the UMNO party matters and then the Ansbach family matters.

But in reality, within the Ansbach family—all they did was pull out their wands and start banging around randomly.

After that, Loila spoke with Mr. William for a few more minutes. He was stunned; he seemed not to have expected Loila to act so decisively and directly.

Miss Siegfried, on the other hand, expressed her strong support; she seemed to have long anticipated a heavy blow against the opposition and traitors.

Thinking of this, Loila sighed softly—so what should she do next?

Should they continue fighting Voldemort? But Roy wasn't entirely sure what Voldemort was up to, or rather, she wasn't entirely clear on Dumbledore's situation either.

The new school term has begun, but there's still no news from Hogwarts. It's unclear whether Luna and the others have found any Horcruxes or anything similar with their Soul Lanterns.

Loila pursed her lips and picked up her harmonica again. Just as she was about to play another tune, an owl suddenly flew over.

Hearing the sound of an owl flapping its wings, Loila felt a surge of surprise—could it be a letter from one of her friends?

Or did Dumbledore change his mind?

Loila carefully examined the owl, watching it circle a few times in the air before landing in front of her.

That looks like—a Hogwarts owl?!

Loila pursed her lips happily, then eagerly opened the envelope on the owl's foot.

"Whose letter is this?" Nagini noticed them too, putting down her newspaper and asking, "Is it from the UMNO?"

"No—no!" Loila quickly shook her head, then happily said, "It's—it's a letter from Hogwarts!"

"Hogwarts?" Nagini raised an eyebrow. "To be honest—during the few days I spent at Hogwarts—I never heard Dumbledore mention you."

"This might not even be a letter from Dumbledore—" Although she said that, Loira couldn't wait to open the letter.

To my friend Loila!

Is it... is it Luna's handwriting?!

It's Luna's letter!

"The new semester has started, but it's a pity I still can't see you. May Merlin bless you."

Even after a long time, seeing Luna's words still made Loila feel a warm feeling in her heart, and even the autumn breeze seemed particularly comfortable.

I also hope Merlin will bless Luna!

Then Loila continued looking down.

"I went to Sweden with my dad this summer, it was so much fun! I hope we can go together when you have some free time."

I've actually been pretty free all along — sob sob —

"Of course, this letter isn't entirely about that." Luna's handwriting paused here, as if her bouncy, sprite-like strokes had landed on the ground.

"I have something I want to give to Loila; it was sent along with an owl."

Does Luna have a gift for herself?

Although Luna used very formal language, Loila still treated it as a gift.

Turning her head slightly, she did indeed see a small package near the owl's other foot.

Is this the thing?

Loila picked up the small package slightly, looked at it, and then nodded thoughtfully.

Ah—this looks like a—compass?

Loila paused for a moment. She picked up the compass and looked at it.

Ok?

This compass looks like some kind of magic array prop!

Loila immediately became interested. She held the compass and looked at it from left to right. If it weren't a gift, Loila would have wanted to open it and take a look.

"You can't tell anything from the surface. It seems like the magic circle is engraved inside." — Roy nodded thoughtfully, then continued reading the letter.

"This is a magic array tool made based on Royla's idea—the one used to find the Horcruxes!"

what?

Luna — is she that amazing?

Loila was genuinely surprised this time; she hadn't expected that Luna would completely decipher and master her magic array in just a few months.

So you're a genius too, Luna?

No, no, no—it must be because her teacher is very capable, right? After all, that's Loila Hamilton!

"As long as magic is injected, it will activate—and begin to guide the Horcruxes within a hundred miles."

Upon hearing this, Loila immediately became interested. She had to admit that Luna was truly amazing—she could engrave so much in such a small thing—although she was, of course, a little bit inferior to herself—she was still quite impressive.

Loila picked up the compass and tapped it lightly with her wand. The pointer on it glowed softly and then began to spin rapidly.

However, it is quite obvious that there could not be any Horcruxes nearby.

Therefore, it just kept spinning rapidly, but never stopped.

It's a pity I don't have a Horcrux or anything to try out right now. Maybe I should make one myself?

Loila felt that her mood had indeed improved a lot, and she even had the energy to joke around with herself.

"Is this a magic circle artifact?" Nagini, sitting next to Loira, seemed to have noticed something as well. She tilted her head slightly and said, "Did Luna make this?"

"Yes—it was Luna who gave it to me—a gift to me." Loila subconsciously hid the compass.

Seeing her movements, Nagini couldn't help but chuckle.

"So what is it for?" She shrugged. "It's not for looking for philandering cats, is it?"

What is a cat that steals fish?

Loila paused for a moment, then said, "This is—a magic array tool used to find Horcruxes."

"With it, we can find the location of the Horcrux."

"Is that so?" Nagini was also slightly surprised. "So you're going to start searching for Horcruxes now?"

"I remember you severed ties with Dumbledore, didn't you?"

"Ah—" Loila's slightly excited expression froze instantly. She turned her face slightly away and said, "I—I didn't go looking for Horcruxes because of Dumbledore or anything."

"I did it because of—because of Luna."

"I don't want Luna and Mr. Lupin to get hurt—"

"If Voldemort had been defeated sooner, they would have been fine."

"Really?

""

Nagini asked with a smile.

"Of course it's true—how could it possibly be—it could be fake?" Loila said, blushing slightly.
