Chapter 400: The Opponent of Fate

"So, let's separate here, see you in the second period. ”

Standing at the turn of the stairs on the second floor of the castle, Hermione held the Standard Spell, Level 1 and stopped to look at Elena and the others.

The first class on Thursday morning, first-year Gryffindor House, was Charms class, with Ravenclaw students.

According to the previously agreed arrangement, Luna's class schedule in the school was the same as Hermione's. So she would be separated from Elena here, and follow Hermione to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor for her first magic lesson.

Hufflepuff House, on the other hand, was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, and they wouldn't be back together until the second session of the morning on the history of magic - though it might not be something to look forward to for Professor Binns.

"Well, then Luna will ask you, Hermione, if there's anything she doesn't understand—"

"You don't need to say I'll help Luna too. Hermione said angrily.

"Don't be nervous Luna, the Charms class isn't that difficult......"

Elena blinked, turned her face to look at Luna's little Lori, and was about to say a few more words.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the crowded crowd of Hogwarts quickly rushed up, enveloping Hermione, Luna, and others who were standing on the stairs and moving upstairs. Elena finally had time to wave her hand before Hermione and Hannah disappeared into the crowd of mixed colors.

......

After yesterday afternoon's first meeting of the new edition of "Singing the Odds" and this morning's food photo shoot, Hermione and Luna quickly became familiar with each other, and they were almost good friends.

At the very least, Hermione felt more at ease with Luna than the rest of the first-year Hogwarts students - perhaps partly due to the fact that they were almost two years apart in age, and the sense of responsibility that needed to guide the younger students.

For Luna, the experience of these two days at Hogwarts made her extremely happy.

Castle, Portrait, Ghost, Magic, Mountain of Gold, Elena......

All of this was new and interesting to Luna Lovegood, and whatever Elena's intentions and intentions, at least she had done one good thing: Luna didn't have to wait alone for a year anymore, she had no one to talk to other than her father, and now she was surrounded by many friendly, welcoming peers.

Luna carefully guarded the Leica camera around her neck, holding Hermione's hand tightly, and followed Hermione nervously so as not to be accidentally swept away by the crowd.

"Don't worry, Luna. The stairs at Hogwarts Castle aren't complicated, just keep a little note of how the main roads change from week to week. Hermione turned to look at Luna and smiled.

"Normally, as long as it's not a hopeless road idiot like Elena, most people will be able to find the classroom after a week, and even if they occasionally make a mistake, they will quickly reorient themselves. ”

"Huh?!Is Elena a road idiot?"

Luna looked up curiously, and replied with a slight hesitation, "But she knows so many things, whether it's Bubble Slug, Pikachu, Eevee, or those little-known magical secrets, and so many magic spells......

"But, a road idiot is a road idiot, Luna. Hermione winked playfully, "If you've seen her once in a helpless scene walking around the basement level, you'll understand that some people, no matter how good they are, just can't find where they want to go. ”

"It's hard to imagine...... Luna said with a strange look on her face.

As Hermione described, she seemed to have an image of Elena constantly moving around Hogwarts Castle, but she couldn't get to her destination—a contrast between her image of Elena's sister who was dangerous, powerful, unfathomably intelligent and experienced.

You know, whether it is in the previous correspondence or from yesterday to today, in Luna's eyes, Elena seems to be a protagonist with no dead ends in 360 degrees.

"You'll know these later, in fact, although Elena is very powerful in many aspects, she still has a lot of weaknesses. ”

Hermione shrugged, "As long as we find the right way, the three of us can definitely eat her to death." ”

Compared to Hannah Abbott, who can only analyze the situation intuitively, from Elena's words and deeds in the past two days, Hermione can easily judge that their small group has expanded again, and Luna will definitely become one of them.

And at this time, the most important thing is obviously to establish the division of the faction in advance, and draw her into the fragile "anti-white-haired dumpling" camp before Luna and Lori have not become Elena's shape.

"For example, did you notice that little hair on the top of her head, just ......"

"Uh-huh, what else?"

"Also, her waist is very sensitive, and she will ...... if she pinched it slightly."

Next, Hermione followed the topic of "the unknown weakness of the third generation of the Dark Lord", and naturally discussed it with Luna, and the relationship between the two little Lori, who were still a little different, quickly became closer - common enemies, and mutual friends, are always the easiest things to reach a tacit understanding, and Elena took care of both at the same time.

They stopped and stopped along the way, and by the time they arrived at the Charms classroom, most of the students were already seated in the classroom.

Professor Flitwick stood on a stack behind the lectern, holding the roster and preparing to start the roll call, when he saw Luna and Hermione walking into the classroom holding hands, he didn't show a strange look on his face, but smiled and nodded in a friendly way.

Obviously, Dumbledore had already communicated with him in advance about the situation of this special "auditor".

This Charms lesson was held by Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw students, and it was Luna's first time getting up close and personal with a Ravenclaw student. Compared to the energetic Gryffindors, or the enthusiastic Hufflepuffs, the vast majority of Ravenclaw students looked a little tired and seemed to have no good night's rest.

Since Hogwarts had experienced a week of "military training" activities at the beginning of the semester, the progress of the course was naturally delayed by a week compared to the usual situation.

So, even though it's been three weeks since the start of school, the current Charms class still teaches basic spell casting gestures, as well as things like the Light Charm (fluorescent flicker), the Cleansing Charm (clean up), and the Lockpicking Charm (Alaho Cave Open...... and so on.

Of course, there was no difficulty for Hermione.

Some of these spells, which she had quietly tried even before school started, now had the energy to turn her attention to Luna Lovegood, patiently teaching her how to cast these basic spells.

"Enchantments add attributes to an item or creature...... Attention must be highly focused when casting a spell......"

For a scholar, mastering knowledge is only one part of the happiness, and the other part of the source of happiness comes from the peers around him who are still waving their wands in earnest, trying to maintain their magic.

However, Hermione's little-known happiness didn't last long.

"This wand won't be ......"

Hermione's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes fell on the familiar black walnut wand in Luna's hand.

"Well, it's Elena's sister's wand, she gave it to me. ”

Luna nodded and replied quickly.

"Oh, Elena is very good to you. Hermione nodded expressionlessly—you know, when she wanted to use Elena's "chopsticks" before, the white-haired balls that protected food weren't so generous.

However, there is a debtor and a debtor, and Hermione is not angry with the innocent Luna Lori.

What's more, who Elena's wand wants to give to is Elena's own business, what does it have to do with her, Hermione is not angry to go to Granger, she actually one, point, all, no, in, care!

Hermione quickly collected her little emotions and smiled at Luna with a calm face.

"Remember what I just explained and demonstrated? Although fluorescent flickering is simple, for beginners, making a little bit of light is also qualified, and there is no need to be too frustrated...... Anyway, let's try it first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Luna nodded, and as Hermione had just demonstrated and explained, she raised her wand very seriously, drew a circle in the air, and then pulled it down, and read softly.

"Fluorescent flickering. ”

The next moment, a soft white halo immediately poured out from the tip of the wand.

The entire classroom seemed to suddenly brighten up a few points, causing the other students in the classroom and Professor Flitwick to involuntarily stop what they were doing and turn their heads to look this way.

"Well done, Miss Lovegood!" Professor Flitwick applauded excitedly, unsparing his praise.

"Look, Miss Lovegood has succeeded, you need to work harder and be more focused. ”

At this moment, even Professor Flitwick could not pretend that he could not see this special "auditor".

If he's not mistaken, the little witch should have been only ten years old this year, and like the Hufflepuff Elena, she was an early school student.

And the most satisfying thing for Professor Flitwick is that, judging from the little witch's family origins, when she is sorted next year, she will most likely belong to the little angels of Ravenclaw House - after all, as far as he knows, the Lovegood family has always been from Ravenclaw House, just like the Weasleys in Gryffindor next door.

The only pity is that since there is no sorting house, he can't even give this kid extra points now.

"This?!"

Hermione's pupils narrowed slightly, and she suddenly remembered the scene Hannah had described earlier about Elena in Charms class.

It seemed that Miss Luna Lovegood's magical talent and abilities were not below her—for some reason, looking at the immature little golden retriever in front of her, she suddenly had a subtle sense of crisis when she met her fateful rival.
