I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Chapter 83 Harassing Fly

It must be said that the potions in the magical world are truly powerful; Louis's ribs are no longer sore.

However, the scar left on my arm after the wound healed is still very noticeable.

Perhaps, it's also because his own recovery ability is too strong.

Catherine stared intently at Louis in front of her; he now felt like a complete stranger to her.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

No, it's not just Louise; even she herself is acting a little strange now.

Many words are not what you want to say, but they come out in a completely different way when they reach your lips.

This thought only lasted for a moment before another thought uncontrollably took over her mind.

"In that case, Mountbatten..." She paused slightly, then quickly resumed her normal tone, rudely issuing an order to leave: "The Worley family does not welcome you, please leave."

Louis paused for a moment, said nothing, and got out of bed. His ribs, which had been feeling better before, were now throbbing with pain again, making him break out in a cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. The words from Catherine's mouth were more painful than the physical pain.

Goodbye, Kai... Worley.

Louis left Catherine's house dejectedly after saying those words.

The moment Louis stepped out of the room, Catherine could no longer maintain her composure. Her mind was filled with a mix of emotions, including sadness, anger, and calmness, as if it were about to split open.

She knelt on the ground, feeling as if thousands of needles were pricking her, almost driving her mad.

A voice in her head seemed to be tempting her to chase after him and end things with that scumbag...

Just as Catherine's eyes were gradually darkening, a flash of light appeared on the Ravenclaw crown on her head, and almost instantly, Catherine's mind cleared up again.

"What...what did I say?" Catherine muttered to herself in disbelief. She really couldn't believe that she would say such hurtful things.

The voice that had suddenly appeared in her mind just now made her alert.

"Could it be... that Little Deer is in the same situation as me?" The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Louis was still injured, and this situation was far too dangerous.

"No, I have to go after them and see..." She quickly put away her staff, ignoring her still dizzy head, and rushed out in a hurry.

……

As Louis left Catherine's house, a feeling of frustration, regret, and inexplicable anger made his chest feel tight, his temples throb, and his vision go black.

Finally, after taking a few steps, the injury to his ribs aggravated his weak nerves, and he could no longer continue.

He sat on a tree stump by the roadside without any regard for his image, breathing heavily in an attempt to make himself feel better.

As soon as he sat down, a dizzying sensation rushed into his mind. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he thought he heard a very pleasant female voice. The owner of the voice seemed to be quite young, and her tone was like singing.

"You're covered in swarms of swarms of flies," the woman's voice said. "Are the flies too loud to hear me?"

He struggled to focus his eyes, and before him appeared the face of a girl wearing strange glasses.

The girl was looking at him with concern... on his head?

"What are you looking at...?" Louis asked with difficulty.

"Your head, your head is covered in gnats, like a headscarf... I'm really surprised you can hear me." As the girl spoke, her little head swayed, and the carrot earrings on her ears swayed from side to side with her movements.

"Harassing fly? What's that?" Louis's mind didn't quite register it for a moment.

"Hush flies... they're invisible, they float into your ears and mess with your brain," she said. "I saw them hovering over your head, some of them buzzing around."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand as if shooing away invisible flies.

"You can really see that... harassing fly?" Louis asked uncertainly. As the girl spoke, he seemed to actually hear flies buzzing around his head, which made him very anxious.

It's hard to describe that feeling; it's like you absolutely have to destroy something.

"Luna Lovegood, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir, the one being targeted by the harassing fly." Luna extended her hand.

Louis shook hands and introduced himself, "Louis Mountbatten, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I know you. I saw you in the Daily Prophet." Luna stared at Louis as if she had discovered a new continent.

Louis suppressed the destructive urge surging within him and forced a smile as he replied, "That's definitely not something nice."

"If they're not mistaken, you must be a very capable, upright, and courageous person." Luna's voice sounded almost like singing, and her soft tone seemed to alleviate the annoying buzzing in her head.

"Yeah?"

"Dad told me to take the Daily Prophet's words in reverse," Luna smiled gently. She was about to say something when she suddenly became alert: "Oh no... there are even more harassing flies."

Before Louis could even understand what was happening, the destructive urge swept over him, breaking through his restraints and gradually taking control of his body and mind.

"A deer?"

It was Catherine. She had been searching for a long time before finally finding Louis sitting by the roadside.

"Is he your friend? He looks really bad." Luna didn't abandon Louis because of his mental state, but stayed by his side, driving away the unseen gnats that bothered him.

"What are you doing?"

Catherine asked, puzzled. The little girl in front of her looked...like...emmmm, crazy?

Oh, right, judging by her age, this should be Luna, the crazy girl from the Lovegood family that my classmates were talking about, right?

"I'm driving away the horseflies that bother him, oh no, there are just too many of them."

"A harassing horsefly?"

Catherine felt the word was familiar, but couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

"He's about to lose control." After saying this, Luna quickly stood up and ran to Catherine's side.

Catherine looked at Louis's expressionless face and took out her wand from her pocket.

"I suggest you don't use your wands. It seems that the two of you are the source of the harassing flies," Luna said seriously. "I think the two of you must have a very good relationship, otherwise, you wouldn't have such a big influence on each other."

"No wand needed?" Catherine looked at Louis, who was preparing to cast a spell, feeling utterly bewildered.

Given this situation, you're telling me not to use my wand?

To everyone's surprise, Luna handed over her own wand: "My wand core is made of unicorn tail hair."

The implication was clear: don't use dark magic... my wand can't withstand your misuse.

"The harassing flies cannot be driven away. Even if you defeat Mountbatten, you won't be able to free him from their torment. In fact, your presence will only exacerbate the situation," Luna added. "But I'm certain that your wands aren't the real source of the harassing flies. There must be a mastermind around here who released them."

As soon as Luna finished speaking, Catherine's memories flooded back.

"I understand." She nodded in realization. "I remember reading in a book at home about who was keeping those harassing horseflies..."

"If I remember correctly, it should be... a demon."

Actually, when they asked me in the group, I didn't know how to answer directly, since it involved spoilers.

I apologize to everyone here and hope you can forgive me.

I will never be a riddle solver again.
