Chapter 9: The Leaping Harassment

Professor McGonagall actually doesn't like being interrupted while she is having fun. But she couldn't stand the other party was indeed a very good friend of herself, and the fact that she was having fun in front of her affected her majestic image as a professor, so she decided to suppress her dissatisfaction in the bottom of her heart.

"I'm bringing someone to buy a cat, Catherine."

Lady Catherine then looked at Luke beside Professor McGonagall.

Luke greeted Lady Catherine politely.

"Hello, Lady Catherine, Luke Gaunt, you can call me Luke, I'm going to Hogwarts school, so I'm going to pick a cat to accompany me."

Luke noticed that Luna, who was still concentrating on reading just now, also looked at him, and subconsciously made his smile a little brighter, and seemed more relatable.

Lady Catherine's first sight at Luke was a sparkle of light. After all, a face with ridiculously high appearance, no matter where you are in the world, is a rare resource.

"Oh! It's a lovely boy, Luke, what a good name, Luke Gaunt...... Gaunt? ”

Lady Catherine was stunned as she spoke. Then he looked at Luke, then at Professor McGonagall suspiciously.

Luke was stupid, he looked as if he knew a lot about the aristocratic circle, but not to mention that he had lived alone for so many years, even if there were other adults around him, their family had been cut off from the aristocratic circle for hundreds of years. Seriously, if Luke didn't go back to the Gunt ancestral house, he didn't know how much he should rank on the family tree.

Professor McGonagall nodded to Catherine, who looked confused. But nothing more was said.

"Oh, Mr. Gaunt, I'm sorry, I was a little out of shape just now."

Lady Catherine, after receiving Professor McGonagall's confirmation, became a little restrained, and looked at Luke with a little fear.

Luke is still polite on the surface, but he is actually full of doubts inside. What the hell is going on? Could it be that this kind of thing can make people kowtow and worship by reporting their names, and it can also happen to themselves?

"It's okay, Lady Catherine, if you call me Luke, it's not someone from the Gaunt family here, but a new student at Hogwarts, a guest who has come to you to buy a suitable cat."

"Oh! Okay, okay! Gang...... Luke, do you have any requirements for this cat? I can sift through it for you first, or maybe you're going to take a look around first. ”

Lady Catherine's mood was much calmer, and she was able to treat her guests normally.

Just as Luke was about to answer, an ethereal female voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

"I'll show you about them."

Luke quickly turned his head away, refocusing his gaze on Luna's face. At this time, Luna had already stood up with a faint smile on her face.

The elf-like girl smiled at Luke and said, "They like you very much and want to get to know you." ”

"Luna! You're talking nonsense again......"

"Catherine!"

Professor McGonagall suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Lady Catherine. Then regardless of the panic on her face, he stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, you have butterbeer here, right?" Ask me for a drink, I've been running around Diagon Alley with this little guy all morning, let me rest my feet and moisten my throat. ”

"Luke, follow Luna around, I have something to discuss with Catherine."

Professor McGonagall pulled Catherine, who looked flustered, and instructed Luke.

"Okay, don't worry, Professor." Luke didn't know what Professor McGonagall was going to discuss, but it was the Professor's private matter, and he didn't have any reason to ask.

With a bang, the door to the lounge was shut. In the storefront, only Luke and Luna were left.

"My name is Luna, I'm ten years old, you're a new student at Hogwarts, and I'll be able to go to Hogwarts next year."

Luna spoke a long and gentle word, and the kittens around her meowed in unison, as if to give Luna a strong voice.

"And it's not just the two of us here, but the little ones, they'll be angry if you ignore them."

Luna didn't wait for Luke to speak, then continued.

And Luke looked at the little girl next to him with some surprise: "You will ......"

Luna shook her head again without waiting for him to finish: "No, I don't know how to take the mind, it's a very advanced spell, or a talent. But ......"

Luna frowned and thought for a moment, as if organizing language.

"But your mind seems to be easy to understand, at least I can understand it a little."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched slightly, and then silently activated his own Occlumency.

"And now?"

"I can only see a little bit, but your harassment is very noisy."

Luna's words made Luke frown tightly.

But that's not the most terrifying thing, Luke could faintly feel it, and he seemed to be able to see some of Luna's thoughts. It's just not that clear.

It's not right, it's not like love at first sight, it's more like a natural connection.

Luke found it hard not to be upset. In this way, does he really have any secrets in front of Luna? He didn't think his mind was so easy to read, after all, the spells given by the system were stronger than what he learned, so his brain occlusion was very strong. What's more, he had a lot of thought when he was with Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall didn't see anything.

Luke looked at the amazing girl in front of him and felt like he had seen a natural nemesis.

"Let's go, Luke, I'll take you to get to know them, there's a kitten that smells like yours." With that, Luna leaned forward and leaned in front of Luke, sniffing lightly, as if to confirm the taste.

Luke felt a little at a loss and said a little stiffly, "Okay! OK! No problem! ”

He didn't seem to be able to resist Luna's intimate movements.

Luna straightened up, picked up a little orange cat on the ground and began to introduce Luke.

"It's Alpha, She'......"

————————

In the common room, Professor McGonagall hummed a song in front of the wine cabinet, carefully searching for the good wine with her piercing eyes. Lady Catherine, on the other hand, sat down at a round table with a sad face, and looked at the closed door with some concern, as if she intended to see through it to see how the two little ones were doing.

"Don't worry too much, Catherine, trust me, Luke is a very nice boy. Don't make some very low-level mistakes. ”

Professor McGonagall finally picked out a bottle of satisfying wine, took two silver glasses, and walked over to the table. Set the glass and fill it with wine.

Before Professor McGonagall could raise her glass, Lady Catherine drank it down.

Then he asked in a rather confused tone.

"Minerva, isn't the Gaunt family the heir? Why would a member of the Gaunt family pop up out of nowhere? ”

"It took a long time for Lake and I to change from being servants, did you bring another master to enslave me?!"
