"So, in the fifth year, because the Ministry of Magic wanted to weaken Harry Potter's influence, it sent an idiot woman to Hogwarts as the head of teaching, what is her name, Umbridge?" Leaning back on a hardwood chair as if sitting on a piece of soft sand, Chen Ping gently shook the soda in his hand, letting the bubbles in it form in strings and disappear into the water.
"Umbridge Dolores, you know, they don't like it for others to know, that man was resurrected, Harry Potter saved the world again, and the Ministry of Magic did nothing." Luna tilted her head and said, "Speaking of which, I don't believe it either, but that's what Dumbledore said. And that wand, after Mr. Ollinvander's identification, did indeed belong to that person. Luna walked around the room, took out a few magazines, and handed them to Chen Ping.
"Oh?" Chen Ping was looking through these magazines from almost a year ago, and he was thinking with some doubts.
Because of the defeat of Voldemort, the history of the Harry Potter world, starting from the end of the fourth year, has taken a different path, and the news that Harry Potter submitted the memory of Voldemort's defeat and his wand to the Ministry of Magic should have been a non-public matter, but for some reason, it was known to passers-by. Lit-Skitt also played a role in this matter. But it was not at Chen Ping's behest. As for Dumbledore, his behavior has always been a little incomprehensible.
"Oh, Luna, you have a guest, don't you want to introduce me to it?" While Chen Ping and Luna were chatting about the past five years of middle school, a middle-aged man with a white head like a marshmallow walked in, wearing an egg-yellow robe with dazzling colors. He wore a gold chain around his neck with a strange symbol shining on it, much like a triangular eye.
"Oh, this is my father, Xenophilius Lovegood, editor-in-chief of Contradictory. Father, this is Zhang Liang, I mentioned it to you. ”
"Hello, sir." Chen Ping stood up and performed a standard wizarding salute.
"Oh, don't be so polite, I've heard Luna talk about you many times, and you gave her a lot of help and care when she was at Hogwarts."
Xenoplius sat down at the table, his hands swaying to his words.
"Luna has a very talented talent, very rare, very good. And I happen to have a good understanding of this talent, which is a kind of fate. Chen Ping smiled.
"I hear you seem to have left Hogwarts." His gaze fell on the Auror emblem worn by Chen Ping, "Oh my God, you're the youngest Auror I've ever seen." ”
"It's nothing, in fact, Luna can be an Auror if she wants to." Chen Ping said intentionally or unintentionally.
This is not to be true, as the Psyker is better suited to be a superior enforcer than the average Arcanist. They can easily peek into the memories of others and even mislead and distort people's souls.
"Hehe, Luna she wants to be a naturalist, and I, as a father, don't want my children to work in too dangerous jobs."
Xenophilius smiled.
"You're a good father." Chen Ping nodded and said.
"Thank you." Xenophilius laughed, this man had a pair of very beautiful eyes, and when he didn't speak, there seemed to be a faint fog in his eyes, which lightly covered the whole world.
"Luna, go get ready, for our guests."
He smiled and said to Luna, watched his daughter leave, and then said to Chen Ping:
"Luna is a bit of a quirky child, but you can tell she trusts you."
As he spoke, it was as if he had entered a memory.
"Her mother died very young, it was a terrible accident, and later, she was raised by me, and in her personality, she also brought some bad things with me. For example, she doesn't know how to dress up, she likes fantasy, she doesn't fit in much, and honestly, I'm glad to see her make a friend, especially a wonderful young man like you. ”
His expression gradually tightened.
"My biggest wish in life is to see her grow up safely, but she has her own path to follow, and her path is full of thorns. My power is limited and not enough to protect her, but I will always be on her side. Young man, as someone she believes in, I hope that when you are around her, you will be able to protect her and keep her from being harmed, this is a father's request, can you agree? ”
"As you wish, sir."
Chen Ping stood up, bowed slightly, and saluted again. Then silently watched him.
"Well, well, young man, since you promised, I won't hide it." Xenophilius hesitated, but said.
"As you think, I do have some prophetic abilities."
After understanding Chen Ping's question, Xenophilius nodded and said: "Our Lovegood family, which is also one of the oldest families in the wizarding world, is said to have the shadow of a certain god in the bloodline of our family, although this may not be true, but in the Lovegood family, there is no shortage of people with prophetic abilities, I am one, and Luna also has this ability." ”
Chen Ping nodded, but there was a faint look of pity in his gaze at Xenophilius.
"The power of prophecy is not as good as people think." Xenophilius said bitterly, "It's not so much a talent as a curse. As you can see, the only people left in the Lovegood family are me and Luna. The rest of the people have already paid the highest price they can for their abilities. ”
"Life, or soul."
Chen Ping said lightly.
"Yes, as you know, there is a price to be paid for using the power of prophecy, and the price is too high for us to afford."
Xenophilius said gloomily: "Not only that, but the outcome of the prophecy is always vague, and what we can see is only a part of the many possibilities. ”
Chen Ping has a relative, and what Xenophilius said is also the reason why he has the worst level in prophecy spells. His gaze fell on the other's chest.
"So what you believe in should be ......"
"As you might have guessed, the Grim Reaper." Xenophilius said, "You've heard that story, the one of the three brothers and the Grim Reaper. ”
"Tell me about it." Chen Pingdao.
Xenophilius nodded, and began to tell a familiar story.
"Once upon a time there were three wizard brothers who came to a river, which was so deep and fast that it was impossible to wade through or swim through. However, the three Brotherhoods magical, with a single wave of their wands, created a bridge across the river. However, when they were halfway there, they saw a hooded man blocking their way. He revealed his identity to the three brothers, that he was the Grim Reaper. ”
"The Grim Reaper is angry that he has been fooled by these three new victims, for the travelers usually drown in the river. But the Grim Reaper is cunning. He pretended to praise the three brothers for their magic, and for cleverly avoiding him, each of them would win a prize. ”
"The eldest of the three brothers was a belligerent man, and he asked for a wand stronger than anything in existence: a wand that would always help its master win a duel, a wand that a wizard who had defeated death deserved! Death cut off a branch from an old tree on the bank of the river, made a wand, and handed it to the Boss. ”
"Then the second of the three brothers, an arrogant man, wanted to make the Grim Reaper even more humiliated, and demanded the power to summon the others back from the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper picks up a stone from the riverbank and gives it to the second child, telling him that it has the power to bring the dead back to life. ”
Death asked the youngest what he wanted. The third child was the most humble and intelligent, and he did not intend to trust the Grim Reaper, so he asked the Grim Reaper to give him something that would allow him to go outside of the Grim Reaper's jurisdiction. Death reluctantly gave him his cloak of invisibility. ”
Then the Grim Reaper Station stopped meddle and let the three brothers continue to talk about their adventures and the gift of the Grim Reaper. Soon after, the Boss was killed in his sleep in his sleep for someone to challenge him and show off his wand. ”
The second brother returned to his own home. There he took out the stone that summoned the dead, put it in his hand and turned it three times. To his surprise and delight, the girl he had wanted to marry but unfortunately died immediately appeared in front of him. Yet she was sad and cold, and separated herself from him through a veil. Even though she was back in the world, she didn't really belong there, and she was suffering there. Eventually, the second brother went crazy in endless despair, and in order to truly fit into her world, he committed suicide. ”
However, the Grim Reaper has been looking for many years, but he has never been able to find the third brother. It wasn't until he was too old to die that he took off his cloak of invisibility and left it for his son. He greeted Death like an old friend, and happily went away with Him, and they all died in the end. ”
