The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Scott swallowed the food in his mouth and asked the two girls, "What brings you here?"

“Oh, we’ve already eaten,” Luna said with a smile. “We’ve come to get some meat.”

Scott understood. "Go feed that little Thestral?"

Luna nodded.

"Didn't Hagrid feed it enough?" Scott asked.

“I only brought snacks,” Luna said. “It’s too lonely and needs a lot of companionship.”

"Well."

Scott nodded to indicate that he understood, and then continued eating.

“Oh, you…” Luna suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Scott with her slightly protruding big eyes.

Scott gave her a questioning look.

“I can’t say for sure…” Luna’s tone was elusive. “Perhaps some unknown magical creature visited your brain, but of course, not a harassing fly.”

Scott raised an eyebrow. "Visited them? So they've already left. How did you figure that out?"

“There are some traces.” Luna continued to observe him carefully. “I don’t know…”

She suddenly pulled a pair of oddly shaped glasses from her knitted handbag and put them on.

"Oh……"

She sighed again and took off her glasses, somewhat dejected.

“It seems there are still many things I don’t understand.” She turned to Savannah. “Do you know, Savannah?”

"I?"

Savannah, who had been looking down, looked up in surprise at her, then at Scott.

"I...I don't know either," she said, somewhat confused.

"But it's worth commemorating!"

Luna cheered up again, took out a palm-sized notebook and a colorful quill pen from her handbag, and began to write.

"There are indeed many amazing animals in this world that have not been discovered by people, which proves that the harassing horsefly and the curved-horned snore beast are real." She said with great interest, "I discovered another one today, but unfortunately I didn't see them."

She quickly wrote a few lines, then looked up at Scott and asked, "How do you feel, Scott? I mean, what do they bring you?"

Scott glanced at her again, then reluctantly swallowed the food in his mouth.

Taking a sip of hot cocoa, he said to Luna, "This afternoon, my brain was invaded by some pesky flies, and my mind was a bit of a mess."

"Oh, unfortunate!" Luna muttered, glancing down and writing a few lines. "And then?"

"And then?" Scott smiled. "Then, a new kind of magical creature appeared. They might be the natural enemies of the harassing flies. In any case, their arrival drove away the harassing flies, which made my thinking much clearer. In the end, I figured out some things because of it."

As Scott said this, he noticed that Savannah looked at him with a surprised expression several times.

"Oh! Amazing!"

Luna didn't pay attention to much; her eyes were shining as she wrote rapidly.

After finishing writing, she closed the notebook and said to Scott with some excitement, "Congratulations, Scott!"

Scott gave her a questioning look.

Luna continued, "This may be a major discovery, and of course, as the first person to discover them, you can perhaps give them a fitting name."

“A name?” Scott thought for a moment, then shook his head. “I’m not good at naming things, so please do it for me.”

Luna immediately laughed several times. "Oh, really? Well then, I'll have to think about it carefully."

After she finished speaking, she fell into deep thought.

Scott took the opportunity to speed up the process of finishing his food.

However, even after he finished eating, Luna still maintained a pensive expression.

Scott waited a while, but she was still deep in thought.

Savannah sat with her, showing no sign of impatience.

After a while, Scott, not wanting to wait any longer, said a name to Luna, "How about we call it Brainfly?"

Luna suddenly looked up at him, then looked down again, opened her notebook, and wrote "[Brain-Awakening Fly]" on that page.

“Great, I like the name,” she said.

Now, it was Scott who felt embarrassed and his scalp tingled when he said the name.

“Let’s go.” Scott stood up. “Aren’t you going to the Forbidden Forest?”

"Oh, right!"

Luna quickly put away the notebook and quill.

At this moment, the house-elves, who had prepared raw meat in advance, quickly served them the piece of raw beef as they were about to leave.

"Would you like to go see it?" Luna invited Scott.

“Alright.” Scott was a little worried about the two girls going into the Forbidden Forest at night, so he decided to go with them.

Chapter 315 Trelawney's Prophecy

After leaving the kitchen, Scott, Luna, and Savannah went around the courtyard, through the garden behind the castle, and arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Fluorescent flashing".

Night had fallen, and the deep, forbidden forest was shrouded in darkness.

So the three of them drew their wands and used the Illumination Charm, then walked into the woods, with Scott leading the way.

“I visited Professor Trelawney about the stolen Thestrals,” Luna suddenly said softly.

"Oh?"

Scott recalled suggesting to Luna that they consult Professor Trelawney to divine the whereabouts of the Thestrals.

However, they soon learned of Thestrals' whereabouts through the newspapers, and the matter was dropped.

He didn't expect that Luna would still go to Professor Trelawney.

"What did you ask?" he asked Luna.

“The Thestrals disappeared with those people. I wonder how they’re doing now,” Luna said. “Professor Trelawney said…”

At this point, she began to mimic Professor Trelawney's strange tone, "I saw it... My third eye told me the answer... Those dark stars will eventually return, and at the turn of the old and new, the resurrected witch will face a crisis!"

Her voice sounded particularly sinister in the dark and deep forbidden forest.

Scott recalled the description in the "original book" that Professor Trelawney's behavior and voice would change when she entered a true prophetic state.

However, Luna's voice was completely different from Professor Trelawney's, and Scott was unsure whether she was imitating Professor Trelawney's usual voice.

So he asked, "Was there anything different about Professor Trelawney's recitation of this prophecy compared to usual?"

"Different?" Luna thought for a moment, "There are some differences. She had already opened her third eye back then."

Her tone was very certain.

Scott gave her a surprised look.

Luna added, “You’re right, Scott, Professor Trelawney is indeed not a real fraud.”

"You can see her open her third eye?" Scott asked curiously.

If Professor Trelawney had truly entered a prophetic state, most people would have noticed changes in her expression and voice. But Luna is different; she has always observed the world and everything around her from a unique perspective.

“Of course, I saw it,” Luna said matter-of-factly. “Her third eye is not under her control, so most of the time she is still a fraud.”

Scott couldn't help but turn his head again and look at her in surprise, somewhat unable to believe that Luna could really see.

Even though he knew very well that Luna wouldn't lie.

Perhaps Luna wasn't seeing the emotions he had originally guessed?

Thinking of this, he expanded his magical perception to its maximum range and asked her again, "So... can you see the range of my magical perception right now?"

“It’s very far.” Luna’s voice hesitated. “I can’t see the edge of the forest…”

It took Scott a while to calm down after hearing this. He said softly, "Perhaps there is something residing in your eyes, Luna, or perhaps some unknown magical creature?"

Yes, he couldn't help but wonder again if Luna possessed a pair of extraordinary, magical eyes.

"Eyes? Oh, I haven't noticed..." Luna seemed quite interested upon hearing this. "Do you think that's why my eyes are bulging?"

Scott laughed and said, "I don't know if they affect the shape of your eyes... but I think they change what you can see. You see more than others in some aspects and less than the average person in others."

“Is that so? I think I need to write to my dad about this,” Luna said excitedly.

At this moment, Savannah, who had been silent until now, seemed to finally be unable to hold back. She said softly, "Nothing can get into your eyes, not even magical creatures. Otherwise, your eyes will be damaged."

Upon hearing her words, Scott and Luna turned to look at her simultaneously.

"I..." Savannah looked a little embarrassed. "Did I say something wrong?"

She was as terrified as the child who had seen through the emperor's new clothes.

“Generally speaking, that’s correct, but perhaps it’s some kind of intangible, magical creature,” Scott said.

At that moment, even he himself felt that he was making a fuss over nothing, but Luna nodded in agreement.

"Maybe...maybe." Savannah was visibly more embarrassed.

Scott immediately changed the subject.

"Let's get back to Professor Trelawney's prophecy," he said. "'Those dark stars will eventually return, and at the turn of the old and new, the resurrected witches will face a crisis!' What do you think this means?"

“The transition between the old and the new may refer to the arrival of the new year.” Savannah seemed to want to forget the awkwardness just now, so she began to speak actively.

Scott said, "So this prophecy means that Medea will face a crisis at the start of the new year, which will lead to Thestrals returning to Hogwarts?"

“I…that’s what I think,” Savannah said.

Scott asked Luna, "Luna, what about you?"

“A change of leadership,” Luna blurted out. “Perhaps it means the Ministry of Magic will have a new Minister of Magic.”
