Chapter 394: Elf in the Rain

"If it weren't for Harry and Ron and I covering for you, the professors would have found out that you weren't in the castle yesterday!" Hermione added.

"Is that so? Thank you so much, Hermione! Ivan said gratefully, no wonder Professor McGonagall didn't know that she didn't go to the Great Hall last night, it turned out that Hermione and the others helped him cover up.

"So where the hell have you been?" Hermione looked at Ivan very dissatisfied, Ivan didn't come back for a long time yesterday, she almost thought that Ivan had run into Sirius, and something had happened...

If it weren't for the fact that she had seen how powerful Ivan was and how easily she had dealt with a large number of Dementors and those dark wizards, she would have almost wanted to tell the professors about Ivan's disappearance.

"Wait... You're not going to look for Sirius, are you? Hermione suddenly thought of something, lowered her voice, and asked.

Hearing Hermione's speculation, Ivan's pupils constricted, but fortunately, he had experienced strong winds and waves, and his acting skills had been practiced in front of Dumbledore, so even if he was surprised in his heart, his face remained the same.

"Why do you think that?" Ivan asked, pretending to be confused.

"I remember you told George and Fred the other day that you would find a way to earn back all the house points we deducted, so I think you must have gone to Sirius and wanted to catch him alone, right?" Hermione's eyes were fixed on Ivan, gushing through analysis.

Ivan couldn't laugh or cry for a while, he didn't expect Hermione to doubt himself because of those few words.

After thinking about it, Ivan shook his head and vetoed. "I was just looking for a place to practice magic yesterday, don't think too much..."

"Really?" Hermione suspiciously wanted to see something from Ivan's expression, but Ivan was well disguised, and she didn't notice anything, so Hermione had to give up and didn't continue to ask.

Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was not that Sirius and Peter didn't want to reveal it to Hermione, but that Hermione was worried that Hermione would not be able to hide his emotions after learning that Ron's pet mouse Spotted was actually a vicious thug, and that Peter would see something, which would be troublesome...

Thinking of this, Ivan turned his head to look at Ron again.

Because Crookshank Hill had been thinking about Blob, Ron had deliberately sat far away from them with his baby mouse, and it was unlikely that he and Hermione would have heard the conversation in a deliberately low voice.

By the time Ivan turned back again, the Quidditch match had already begun.

The players of the two teams flew out of the passage on broomsticks, and the surrounding of the stands erupted in warm applause, countless colorful flags fluttered in the wind and rain, and the little wizards shouted loudly to cheer for their own academy team, even the strongest wind and rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of everyone.

"Come on, Gryffindor!"

"Harry Potter wins!"

"Diggory, you're the best!"

......

The constant shouts on the field even drowned out the roaring lightning, and Ivan was stunned no matter how many times he watched it, and as a traverser, he couldn't understand why wizards were so enthusiastic about Quidditch.

It's time for Muggle football...

But it's normal to think about it, because there seems to be only one big magical sport in the entire wizarding world, and wizards have no other choice...

"Hey, why is there still someone cheering me on? I didn't compete..."

Ivan glanced over and suddenly found that one of the wooden boards held high actually had "Come on Ivan Hals" written on it, and there were some strange pictures on it...

Ivan narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the wooden sign, and found a familiar figure.

"Luna?" Ivan said with some surprise.

Luna, who hadn't been seen for a long time, was sitting on a high platform without a baffle, and she was not wearing a raincoat or hat.

The endless raindrops flowed from the ends of her hair and the top of her head over her delicate face, and then dripped onto her clothes, and the little witch was wet but didn't care, holding the big wooden sign leisurely, letting the wind blow and the rain raging, as if she were a rain elf.

Ivan didn't know what to do for a while, Luna's behavior was always so unexpected...

However, Ivan soon discovered that Luna was not unprepared, her clothes looked thick and warm, and most likely waterproof, but who would take the initiative to sit on a high platform on a stormy day and get drenched in the rain?

Perhaps sensing that there was no Ivan on the Gryffindor team, Luna quickly put down the sign she was holding high, and instead hugged it in her arms, her bright eyes curiously scanned the stands, and after a while, she looked at Ivan together...

Due to the long distance, Ivan had to try to use his mouth to try to let Luna go to shelter from the rain, but not to catch a cold!

Immediately afterward, Ivan thought that it was too far away for Luna to see what he was trying to say, so he stood up and went over there to remind her.

However, before Ivan could act, he saw that Luna had already left the original position with the sign, and waved at him before leaving, probably to avoid the rain.

"Ivan, what's wrong?" Hermione noticed Ivan's movements, and looked strangely at him, but saw nothing.

"I happened to see an acquaintance, just say hello!" Ivan said casually.

Acquaintance? That weird Ravenclaw girl?

Noticing that the place Ivan was looking at was the area where the Ravenclaw students were, Hermione instantly thought of who the acquaintance was referring to in Ivan's words.

The second-year girl named Luna was really impressed when she first started school...

At this moment, Ron, who was on the side, suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Quick... Look! Harry has discovered the Golden Snitch! ”

Ron's voice drew Hermione's attention, and Ivan looked up at the sky.

A golden light danced in mid-air, wandering through the field, and Harry followed closely behind, speeding through the storm, all eyes focused on the Snitch and Harry.

Because of the strong wind and torrential rain blocking the view, the golden light appeared and disappeared in everyone's sight... They needed to concentrate hard to see where the Golden Snitch was, and if they weren't sure they wouldn't find it.

Ron complained loudly when he noticed that a Gryffindor player had almost hit his head against the wall while wiping due to the rain seeping into his eyes.

"Damn Slytherin! No wonder they temporarily swapped the number of games with Hufflepuff, which must have been the weather today! ”

"Either way, Harry will be able to catch the Golden Snitch!" Hermione said confidently.

Ivan, however, was faintly uneasy, for in the distance, Harry's figure was rising as he chased the Golden Snitch, but the sky was eerily dim as night, and something seemed to be surging in the dark clouds...
