Chapter 19: I Hurt People in My Dreams

As the train traveled north, through the crowds, across the mountains and the sea, as the latitude increased, the scenery outside the window became more and more desolate, and the sky was much more gloomy, and Neville couldn't help but remember if he had rain gear in his suitcase.

He leaned back in his seat with some restraint, and Luna beside him was still communicating with Scamander about Fantastic Beasts, and although Neville's grades in this class were not bad, the words he could hear clearly passed through his ears and then to his brain, and all he understood was a bunch of unrecognizable gibberish.

As the so-called winter and March of spring fatigue, autumn sleepiness, summer napping, and can't wake up, there is such a sleep-inducing accompaniment, gradually, gradually, Neville's head involuntarily tilted, and then a slight snoring spread in the carriage.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

The conversation in the carriage came to an abrupt end, and Luna and Scamander looked at Neville at the same time, and then both lowered their voices, but after a while, they had to raise their voices again, and the topic was no longer Magical Beasts.

"This friend of yours is really ......"

Scamander pondered the words diligently, his beard fluttering almost at the same frequency as Neville's, and he even felt the carriage tremble, and his ears were filled with dull and rhythmic snoring, thunderous snoring, refreshing, soul-stirring.

"Whew...... Lulu...... Call...... Lulu ......"

Pulling out his wand, Scamander cast a small spell so as not to disturb the passengers outside by the movement of the carriage, and then said with a wry smile, "I haven't encountered such a ...... in many years There are 'energetic' young people. ”

It is true that the sound of unconscious snoring while sleeping can vibrate the carriage, and it has its own surround sound, and even suppresses the sound of the moving train, creating a shock that is not inferior to a magic spell......

Sure enough, the most amazing animals in the world are still humans!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Scamander, but Neville didn't mean to be a nuisance. Luna explained aloud, "If it's convenient, please use a spell to control his snoring, that's how the doctors did it when they were at St. Mungo's Hospital." ”

"No problem. ”

Scamander nodded hurriedly, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but it was not appropriate for him, an old wizard who was almost a hundred years old, to use a spell on a teenage "child" because of his personal likes and dislikes.

It was another spell, and the two people in the carriage were finally relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. ”

Luna sincerely thanked that unlike Neville's "magical human", she was still a normal human wizard, and many spells were impossible for her to cast in her third year.

"Doesn't he seem healed from his last injury?" asked Scamander.

"There are some injuries that don't heal so easily. ”

Luna nodded helplessly, looking at Neville with complicated eyes, she was not surprised that Scamander knew about these things, because the newspapers had already published the attack on St. Mungo's Hospital.

Admittedly, Neville, who was so strong that he barely resembled a human, had long since healed from his physical wounds in the hospital, but another illness that had been tormenting him lately was unknown how long it would last.

"He's always having nightmares, and whenever he's asleep, he's bound to have nightmares. ”

Out of respect and trust in Scamander, Luna began to talk about what had happened to Neville recently, expecting Scamander to help her.

"Hmm...... That's really bad. ”

Then he began to have insomnia, or fear of sleeping, and every time he fell asleep was a kind of mental torture for him, the difference was only severity. ”

But he couldn't control his sleep. Scamander nodded knowingly: "Even taking medicine is not a long-term solution, it has no curative effect on the disease itself, and it will even harm his body." ”

Therefore, his current routine has begun to be irregular, and he may not be able to fall asleep when he wants to sleep, and he can't control it when he doesn't want to sleep...... This has been going on for some time. ”

“......”

After listening to Luna's statement, Scamander was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is it convenient to reveal the contents of his nightmare?"

"His nightmares...... It's hard to describe. ”

"Oh?"

"Because he himself can't even tell the content of the nightmare. ”

Speaking of which, Luna, who has always been calm, rarely shows irritability and chagrin, among which is undisguised anger, anger against Neville.

"But he lied! I could see through it at a glance, he was hiding the contents of the nightmare from all of us!"

Compared to Luna, who was a little emotionally out of control, Scamander was still very calm, and after a little thought, he shook his head and asked, "But is it any good for him to conceal it?" He is suffering now, and saying it all will definitely help the diagnosis." ”

"Who knows what this fool thinks. Luna snorted.

Scamander shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and then said, "So we need to bring the perspective of a 'fool' to think about this." Then, he stopped talking, just staring at Luna and smiling.

More or less an old wizard who has lived for nearly a hundred years, he has never seen any winds and waves, and Scamander can see the relationship between the two children in front of him at a glance.

That's his lost youth.

Just as Scamander was feeling nostalgic, Neville, who had only slept for about fifteen minutes, suddenly moved, and to outsiders his reaction was that his sleeping position was not comfortable enough, so he changed his position, but his unconscious swinging arm paused slightly in the air, as if it had hit something, and then there was a breaking sound, and then the snoring in the carriage began to roar again.

“......”

Scamander looked at Neville in a daze, swallowed a little saliva, and then carefully distanced himself from Neville to ensure that the other man's limbs did not touch him.

After all, his old arms and legs can't withstand the sneak attack of young people who don't talk about martial arts.

"Ahem...... Scamander coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and at the same time cast a few more spells to reduce the noise and protect himself, before he asked Luna, "Shall we proceed then?"

"Hmm. Luna nodded, and then said helplessly: "Another bad situation is what happened just now, he can't control his power when he is asleep, so he has to pay very, very, very careful attention to his own safety." ”

"Then he should apply for a leave of absence and recuperate at home. ”

Scamander frowned, and although he hadn't officially taken up his post yet, he had assumed the role of professor at Hogwarts, and he almost immediately realized that Neville was now dangerous to the rest of the Hogwarts students.

Especially a couple of Neville's roommates.

Imagine Neville rolling over while sleeping one night and slapping his roommate against the wall to become a mural......

I'm afraid that this style of painting will suddenly mutate from a youth campus to a B-grade horror film.

Voldemort probably woke up laughing when he dreamed.

But Neville's teacher said...... Dumbledore would have a way. ”

"Huh. Scamander laughed dryly, then shook his head, "His solution is to get Neville's best defense lawyer?" Oh, I almost forgot, he is the best defense himself. ”

"There's no better way to do it for the time being. Luna had faith in the greatest wizard of our time: "That's Dumbledore, he at least has more ways than us." ”

"Listen to me, kid. ”

Scamander looked at Luna with a serious face, imparting his life experience, or the experience of being pitted, as an elder.

"Dumbledore never disappoints when it comes to disappointment. ”
