Chapter 387: Closing the Net (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Daddy?"
Inside the Ravenclaw common room.
Luna Lovegood turned her head to look at the closed door behind her, and then at Elena, who was holding her hand.
"Wait, my dad hasn't come in yet. β
"It's okay, didn't Mr. Lovegood say, he has never been shut out of the door by the eagle ring, and if we open it at this time, it will be a distrust of your father. β
Elena smiled slyly, "Luna, don't you trust your father's wisdom?"
Ever since they met, Elena has been trying to find a chance to avoid Xenophilius and Dumbledore and be alone with Luna's little Lori - young wizards who are still children are undoubtedly more malleable than adult wizards who are suspicious and have a solid worldview, and this has been verified by Hermione, Hannah and others.
A person's power is limited after all, even if they are as strong as Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Voldemort, they all need to form their own team to expand their influence and discourse, and finally achieve their goals.
After experiencing the shameful "joint betrayal" of Old Radish and Old Potato this morning, Elena became more and more aware of how important it is to have a small team of her own.
However, for Elena, it is actually much easier for her to choose the core team in the future than the "predecessors" - relying on the triple advantage of rebirth + crossing + hanging, she actually only needs to accurately complete a favorability strategy, and she can easily gather a group of excellent "three generations of demon kings" team.
Elena knew all the time that she wasn't some kind of gifted thinker.
As her influence in this world gradually expands, the familiar advantages of the original plot and the future development direction of the world in her mind will gradually disappear and retreat.
And at this time, Hermione and Luna's winged think tank is particularly important.
As a great man said, "Education starts with a baby", and under her deliberate guidance, Hermione Compute Glory has gradually begun to get on the right track, so Luna Dice Lady Lovegood must also start to cultivate.
If Hermione Granger believes in "facts and logic", then Luna uses "intuition and origin" as the basis for understanding everything, and to be precise, the two girls, who are equally calm and determined, almost represent the two directions of human intelligence.
Elena is curious, if Luna's worldview and education from the beginning are more huge than in the original book, how will this little angel, who is already full of all kinds of whimsy, grow up?
Of course, before everything begins, the family status must first be determined......
"Luna, you said you're ten years old, right? What is your birthday? β
Elena dragged Luna around the Ravenclaw common room while chatting casually.
"February 13th. β
"Well, even though I'm also ten years old, my birthday is September 25th...... So, you're going to call me sister. β
Elena turned her head, looked at Luna's little Lori with fluttering eyes, and said seriously.
"Okay, Sister Elena. β
Luna nodded as if she didn't understand, and replied softly and obediently.
As she spoke, the girl looked up and looked at the Ravenclaw common room with the same curiosity as a fledgling bird.
Standing outside the door, I couldn't really see it, but when I walked into the Ravenclaw lounge, I realized the dreamlike colors of this circular room:
The smooth wooden floors depict adorable creatures, and the dark blue carpet is adorned with star motifs.
Above is a dome as deep violet as deep as the night sky, illuminated by a moon-like pattern that glows softly, and the rest of the stars are slowly drifting across the dome according to constellations, taking a leisurely stroll.
The circular lounge is surrounded by several large circles of sofas, with a small circular table in the middle, and in the center of the small table are some strange and interesting magical devices, such as a diagram of the heavenly sphere that illustrates the dangling sky, or a music box that emits strange sounds and mist, and several magic quills that seem to be sleeping.
There is no trace of the wall in the whole lounge, except for the dome, a few doors, and a large floor-to-ceiling bay windowβwhere it should be a wall, there are huge bookshelves and cabinets that lead to the roof, and the colorful books on the shelves form a mosaic of a bronze eagle soaring above the blue sky.
Floor-to-ceiling bay windows hang from a cornflower-blue curtain painted with a giant Ravenclaw eagle......
What a beautiful room, is this the Ravenclaw college that my father and mother would mention from time to time when I was a child?
Luna Lovegood's silver-grey eyes sparkled, and her mind was captured almost instantly by this wonderful common room, and she couldn't wait to grow up and be in this magical castle.
Noticing the look and yearning in the eyes of little Luna beside her, the corners of Elena's mouth curved, and she suddenly thought of an excellent idea.
"Luna, would you like to come to Hogwarts early? β
"Huh, is it really possible?!"
Suddenly poked by Elena, Luna was stunned for a moment, and then a look of hesitation quickly appeared, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she slowly shook her head, "However, I still want to stay at home with my father for one more year, anyway, I will go to Hogwarts next year to study, and I am not in a hurry for these few months." β
I didn't expect Luna to be so sensible?
It seems that pure material temptation may not workβyes, this is the little angel Luna she remembers.
If nothing happens, there is another plan, Elena's eyes rolled, and her eyes lit up again.
"That's right, but ...... According to the previous plan for the future of "Singing and Singing", the amount of information and length of this publication will increase by at least four or five times, and if it is still only your father, then the workload may be expanded to more than five to ten times that of the present. β
Elena sighed softly, the little hair on her head dangling quietly, a look of pity on her face.
"Alas, alas, I guess that with Mr. Lovegood's character, he would not have chosen to recruit a new editor for a short time, and if nothing else, he would have to spend more than ten hours a day in the future. But this can't be helped, who will let him have no extra manpower around him to support it for the time being......"
"Will Dad have a hard time in the coming days?"
Seeing the expression on Elena's face, Luna asked nervously, and subconsciously hugged the flat-headed little owl in her arms.
"It's not a question of hard work or not, it's a ...... A kind of exhaustion that builds up from quantitative changes, ah, by the way, I almost forgot that he has to be distracted to take care of your three meals a day and daily life. Tut-tut......"
As she spoke, Elena glanced at little Luna, who was nervous, and whispered meaningfully.
"It's a pity, if someone could stand up, even if it was just to share some of the most basic tasks, I think Mr. Lovegood would be able to take it easy, or at least get a good night's sleep every day. But it's not a big problem, after all, we are all wizards, and we can always stick to it by drinking some rejuvenating potions once in a while, and then casting a few spells on ourselves. β
Hearing Elena's description, the look on Luna Lovegood's face became more and more uneasy.
"Sister Elena, is there anything I can do to help?" said one of the little wings anxiously.
Unconsciously, the topic has gradually been firmly controlled by Elena.
Xenophilius Lovegood's worries were not wrong, compared to the innocent and innocent Luna, a black-hearted maggot like Elena was really terrifying, especially when she was still able to grasp the character of the target person very clearly.
In the middle of a few words, Elena was like a cunning spider, weaving a complex and huge hunting web, and the center of the spider web was the small wings she had been planning for nearly half a month.
"There is a way, but ......"
Elena played with the ends of the hair in her ears, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said slowly.
"While my idea will ease your father's burden, I don't think Mr. Lovegood's heart will allow you to do so. Moreover, you are a little too young to be able to do the writing work. β
Grindelwald once said that a truly wise man will never be stupid enough to use violence to persecute others - it is the safest and correct way to guide others to choose their own path.
"It's okay, if I can really make Dad less tired, I can. β
Luna Lovegood shook her head quickly, looked at Elena with silver-gray eyes, and said seriously.
"Usually when my dad writes "Singing Against the Tune", I will also help to provide advice on the side, if it is just some basic work, I will be fine. And even if I can't, I can study, my dad always said I was smart. β
"What if, your dad doesn't agree?"
"No, as long as I insist on something, Dad will definitely agree to it in the end. β
"If you really can't help it, then I'll tell you the method, but you must be sure that you came up with it yourself. β
Elena pretended to sigh helplessly, tried to suppress the rising corners of her mouth, and said softly, "Luna, think about it, if 'Singing Against the Tune' can have a ...... in Hogwarts"
