Since Roger had been asleep, Scott and the others did not have a good time in St. Mungo, and after confirming Roger's condition, they returned to the Burrow.

"I'll send you home."

After coming out of the fireplace, Scott said to Luna.

"Okay."

Luna nodded.

The two walked out of the Burrow together, and behind them came Fred and George's loud teasing.

"Oh! I don't think Luna needs someone to send her home in this village where she has lived for more than ten years! ”

"Nope! I think he wanted to make up for that duel with Mr. Lovegood! ”

Neither Scott nor Luna paid any attention to their jokes.

"Our house is on the north side of the village."

On a quiet country road, Luna walked in front of her, Scott with his hands in his pockets, following her.

"Have you been in contact with Savana lately?" Scott asked.

Luna nodded, "Of course, we're in touch from time to time. ”

"I want to go again." Scott said, "The sea of oaks guarded by the Doherty family. ”

Luna stopped and turned to look at him.

"Oh, you want to find a passage to Avalon?"

Scott told her, "You may not know it, but Medea has fallen into a deep sleep because of Voldemort's curse. If I want to do something, now is the best time to do it. ”

"Do you want to go alone?" Luna's silver-grey eyes stared straight at Scott, "I don't think that's a good idea. ”

Scott smiled, "Of course, I have to get in touch with Sawanna in advance, without her leadership, I wouldn't dare to break into the druid's sphere of influence alone." ”

Luna shook her head.

"Ask Sawanna first, of course, even if there is no problem with Sawanna, you better not go alone."

She turned around and took a few more steps forward, then turned back again.

"Have you forgotten again, I remember what you told me, the professors know about you, and they are all willing to help you."

"I'm sorry." Scott was stunned for a moment and laughed, "I think I did forget." ”

"It's okay, you're just not used to asking for help."

Luna smiled and continued to bounce forward.

Scott also stepped back and followed behind her.

The two walked beside a wheat field and over a small hill.

"That's my home."

Luna pointed to another, taller hill ahead.

Scott looked up and saw a strange house standing on top of a hill like a huge black column, with a ghostly moon hanging in the summer morning sky behind it, and a clutter-looking garden around the house.

"Very imaginative."

Scott looked at the fake moon that was hanging behind the house.

"Interesting, isn't it?" Luna proudly said, "That's what Dad did after I was born because of my name." ”

The two of them walked down the hill together and began to climb up again.

"I'll help you get in touch with Sawanna." "We should hear back from her soon." ”

"Then I'll discuss this with Professor Flitwick later." Scott said.

It wasn't long before they came to the ruined gate.

Three hand-painted signs are nailed to the door.

[Editor-in-Chief of "Singing Contradiction": X. Lovegood]

[Please pick your own bunch of mistletoe]

[Don't touch the airship Lee]

"Let's go inside!"

Luna pushed open the creaky courtyard door.

Ahead is a winding path lined with all sorts of exotic plants.

All the plants are growing wildly, and there is no trace of pruning.

Scott saw a bush full of small, orange radish fruits that Luna wore as earrings.

Walking through the garden, flanked by the front door, are two leafy begonia trees with mistletoe crowns adorned with white beads.

A small owl with a slightly flattened head and a bit like an eagle's head was standing on a branch, tilting its head to look at them.

Luna waved at the owl and walked first to a heavy black door.

The door had iron spikes embedded in it, and an eagle-shaped knocker.

"Welcome back, Luna."

The eagle-shaped knocker spoke, and the door opened automatically.

"Come in, Scott."

Luna jumped inside the door and turned to Scott.

"Excuse me."

Scott walked in the door and felt a flash in front of him.

The first floor of the house looks like a kitchen, but this is the strangest kitchen Scott has ever seen.

Because the house is standard round shape, once you enter the house, you feel like you are in a giant pepper shaker.

What caught Scott's eye was the strong quirky style of the interior of the house -

Everything as far as the eye can see is curved to match the walls, including the stove, sink and cupboard.

On top of that, flowers, insects, and birds are painted everywhere in bright primary colors, which can give a strong visual impact.

In the center of the room was a cast-iron spiral staircase, and the sound of clattering and ping-pong was coming from upstairs.

Scott couldn't help but glance up.

"Oh, that's the sound of the printing press, and my dad is printing his magazine."

Luna explained as she led him upstairs.

The second floor seems to be both a living room and a workshop, and it looks even more messy than the kitchen.

The room is still a standard round shape, full of miscellaneous items.

Things that seem to have been hidden for centuries make it look like the room where the requirements room is hidden.

There were piles of books and papers on every surface, giving Scott a feeling that he couldn't get his feet on.

Not only at the feet, but also on the ceiling of the room are all kinds of delicate animal models, all flapping their wings or moving their mouths all the time.

Scott followed Luna through the clutter and saw Mr. Lovegood's back.

At this time, he was hunched over and standing beside a huge machine.

It was a wooden guy with lots of magically turned gears, and it looked like a monster that had been crossed between a crafting table and a bunch of old shelves.

At this time, the old machine, which looks like it is about to collapse at any moment, is making unpleasant noises while spitting out copies of "Singing Contradictory".

"Daddy."

Luna stepped forward and picked up a new magazine from the ground.

"Oh, I can't wait to start reading it!"

"Luna, you're back?"

Mr. Lovegood turned and smiled lovingly at Luna.

But after seeing that Scott was also there, he changed his face instantly.

"Oh, and you, the boy who is said to be a genius."

At this moment, the eyes he looked at Scott contained indescribable disgust.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lovegood, I'm here to take Luna home." Scott smiled politely, "I'm Scott, Scott?" Troope. ”

Mr. Lovegood nodded slowly.

"I remember your name, boy, but I don't like your name." He raised his chin and said slowly, "Thank you for sending Luna home, of course, you just need to send her to the gate of the courtyard." ”

"You're welcome, sir."

Scott continued to smile as if he hadn't heard anything other than "Thank you for sending Luna home".

His performance left Mr. Lovegood a little dumbfounded.

He seemed to have never met such a cheeky person, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, Daddy."

Luna, who was flipping through a magazine, suddenly came back to her senses.

"You go ahead and get on with your work, we've got something else to do."

As she spoke, she took Scott's hand and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Scott glanced back, and Mr. Lovegood stood motionless, with an expression of disbelief on his face that had frozen, as if he had been hit by a petrification spell.

Scott couldn't bear to look at it too much, and followed Luna's footsteps past a strange stone bust at the window and walked up to the third floor.

"This is my room." Luna introduces Scott.

The room is covered with a light blue carpet, and there is a large picture next to the bed of young Luna hugging a lady who resembles her.

"That's me and my mom." Luna walked over to the picture and whispered, "She left us because of a failed spell experiment." ”

Without waiting for Scott to say anything comforting, she smiled to herself, "But it doesn't matter, I still have Dad, and besides, I always believe that we will meet again." ”

"Of course." Scott said a little dryly.

"Oh, let's write a letter!"

Luna walked over to her desk and sat down, handing Scott the magazine in her hand.

"You can take a look at this first."

"Thank you."

Scott reached for the magazine and looked at the portrait on the table.

The little girl in a nightdress sitting barefoot on the big windowsill with her knees crossed and the warm morning light beside her.

It was a gift he gave to Luna for Christmas Day in 1992.

"I'll tell Sawana what you want to do......"

Luna took out a pen and paper and began to write, and Scott sat down on a nearby stool and opened the magazine in his hand.

"Shocking Changes, Dark Moments at the World Cup Final"

Mr. Lovegood's article is written at length.

It's just the content......

Compared with the facts that Scott explained to him, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it, only that it has little to do with it.

It is clear that Mr. Lovegood is more fond of stories that have been polished by Fred and George.

Scott even suspects that he has created a second work on the basis of the twins' polishing.

But that's fine.

Scott thought.

Such an exaggerated story is not only more in line with the tone of the magazine "Singing Back", but it also offends Voldemort and the Death Eaters too much.

He suddenly remembered that in the "original" Luna had been captured by the Death Eaters, and that the Death Eaters had taken Luna and threatened him because of Mr. Lovegood's public support for Harry in the magazine.

As you can imagine, Luna must have suffered a lot of suffering and torture in the "original book" when she was imprisoned in the Dungeon of Malfoy Manor.

Scott looked at Luna's back as she struggled to write a book, and decided to protect her.

"It's written, you can take a look."

Luna turned around and handed him the parchment she had written.

Scott took it and looked at it a few times and nodded.

"Then send it out!"

Luna took out the envelope, folded the parchment paper, put it in the envelope, and wrote Sawanna's name on the envelope after sealing it.

They went downstairs together and asked the owl to deliver the letter.

"I think Sawana will hear back soon." Luna watched the owl fly away, "She often complained to me that her time was too boring......"

The two men were talking under the begonia tree, and Mr. Lovegood suddenly came out of the door.

"It's time for us to have lunch, Luna." He glanced at Scott, "Oh, you're not gone yet, boy." ”

He urged Scott to leave with his eyes.

But Luna has no tacit understanding with her father in this matter.

"Come along, Scott." She warmly invited Scott, "You can try our own Gordigan tea." ”

"It's my pleasure." Scott smiled.

Although Mr. Lovegood's gaze was on the verge of burning his face, he pretended not to be aware of it.

"Welcome." Mr. Lovegood gritted his teeth.

Both Scott and Luna had a great time at this lunch.

While Luna's homemade gordigan tea was hard to drink, the rest of the food didn't taste weird.

At the table, Scott and Luna were chatting and laughing as they ate, with only Mr. Lovegood looking sullen.

After lunch, Scott still had no intention of leaving.

Although Mr. Lovegood endured it very hard, as long as he did not chase people directly, Scott pretended not to understand his roundabouts and could not understand his eyes.

In the end, Mr. Lovegood could only see out of sight and chose to stay alone in the workshop.

"Perhaps I've become the most hated person in Mr. Lovegood." Scott said to Luna.

Luna laughed.

"Oh, it's okay, my dad is always so energetic."

Scott also thought it was funny, "I kept thinking about when he would be tempted to kick me away, but I didn't expect him to hold back." ”

"Of course, he won't drive you away." Luna affirmed, "I think he's just making me amuse, and he does it a lot." ”

“……”

As the culprit, Scott also felt sorry for Mr. Lovegood.

He was sure that although Mr. Lovegood's performance was more important, there was also a real sense of truth contained in it.

In the afternoon, as Luna said, the owl returned, bringing a reply from Sawanna.

There were still two letters, in addition to the reply to Luna, Sawanna also wrote a separate letter to Scott.

But after reading the letter, Scott had to temporarily dismiss the idea of going to the Sea of Oaks.

The stakes were high, and Sawanna didn't hide from her grandfather the prophecy revealing the possibility of a resurrection for Slytherin.

Scott wasn't surprised, either.

Aside from old grudges, if Slytherin is resurrected, it will not only be Scott who will face the crisis, but the druids of the Doherty family who have been guarding the passage for generations.

Sawanna tells Scott that her grandfather revealed part of the truth to the others, and that the druids are now divided into two factions.

Some druids have no confidence in defeating Slytherin, and they advocate abandoning their role as guardians of the passage for generations, in favor of escaping completely.

The other group of druids, like Scott, were more proactive, trying to open passages into the interior of Avalon.

In this tense moment, Scott doesn't seem to be able to get right in.
