Luna is pure.

Her emotions are as simple and easy to understand as the momentum of her appearance.

Harry's words came out of his mouth, as if the blade of the sword slashed, and the sword wind swept away, making Arthur, who was introducing with great interest, stunned, and his emotions were contagious to the others, and they all looked at Harry blankly.

The blade slashed at Luna, causing her to panic and hide behind her father.

Hermione was stunned and looked at Luna, unbelievable.

There were a lot of people who were afraid of Harry.

When the Gryffindor group of lawless little lions saw Harry, they immediately behaved like kittens.

The Slytherins were also afraid, and when they saw Harry, their scales exploded.

Hermione had seen many people scared of Harry, but Luna was the most special one.

"Are you afraid of Harry?" Hermione leaned over.

Luna looked at Hermione, her expression was much calmer, and when she spoke, her voice was ethereal like Trelawney's, but not so pretentious, she was born like this: "Yes, I'm a little afraid of him. ”

"Why?" Hermione looked back again.

Handsome, burly, and with a few scars on her face, they don't look hideous in the corners of her face, but have a different flavor - Hermione has always been distressed, but everyone else thinks these scars are cool.

Well.

Nothing has changed, huh? It's still that handsome Harry.

"He's dangerous." Luna pondered and grabbed the corner of her father's coat, "It's more dangerous than the Thestrals parasitized by the hook." ”

"Hooks?" Hermione froze, the word sounded like some kind of parasite, but it was unfamiliar, she had never heard of it.

"A very dangerous, mischievous creature." Luna looked serious.

Harry explained, "This is a conjecture that has not been proven, and legend has it that a creature named "Eligugi" discovered it, accidentally parasitized it, and died madness three days later. ”

"But no one has ever discovered it, except for it in Eligugi's notes."

Hermione frowned, "I don't think I've read it in the book." ”

"Hagrid told me." Harry explained, "He and Mr. Scamander were intrigued by the creature, but were confused. ”

"Will it parasitize the Thestrals?"

Luna shook her head and said in a serious tone: "No, it's not an animal, it's a plant, a parasitic plant, and it is easy to grow in the berries that are generally parasitized by mistletoe." ”

"Mistletoe-infested berries?" Harry remembered it, "Thanks, I'll talk to Hagrid." ”

"You're welcome." Luna replied timidly.

Hermione smiled slightly: "You see, Harry is easy to touch, he is not dangerous"

"No, he's dangerous." Luna interrupted her and said in a more serious tone, "It's really dangerous. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and her voice became quieter: "I don't feel his kindness." ”

Raising his hand, he pointed at Hermione and the others, "I don't feel any kindness to anyone else except for you." ”

No goodwill?

Lovegood thought of something and looked at Harry in horror.

Luna took a deep breath: "There's no malice either, it's like. It's like a rock, it's terrible. ”

Hermione couldn't catch up with the logic of her thinking, savored the words, and when she was sure she understood what she was trying to say, she hesitated to speak: "You mean, you can't feel kindness or malice towards strangers from Harry, so you think he's terrible?" ”

"No, not a stranger." Luna shook her head and emphasized seriously, "We've met a few times, and we're still classmates at the same school. ”

Hermione stopped talking.

What's the difference between this and a stranger?

Isn't it normal to have no emotions?

Just like yourself

Luna tilted her head, "Harry is not like you. ”

"I can feel it, you liked me a little bit just now, and now you don't like me a little."

"But Harry has nothing, it's empty."

"I didn't." Hermione struggled to make herself smile kindly.

Luna crooked her mouth, not speaking, her expression still calm, just avoiding Harry's gaze.

Arthur cleared his throat and continued, "This is Ron, my boy, you've seen it many times. ”

Ron reluctantly greeted the family.

"This is Remus Lupin, a former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Arthur introduced the next person.

Luna's eyes flashed, "Professor Lupin, long time no see." She greeted excitedly and eagerly.

"My dad said that Professor Moody was persecuted by the Ministry of Magic this year and can no longer be a professor, will you come back?"

"You're the best professor we've ever met."

Lupin smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid not, but your professors this year are also very good." ”

"Is it because of the werewolves?" Luna muttered, "How can they do this to innocent sick people." ”

Both Harry and Hermione looked at her with some surprise.

Few wizards have such an idea of werewolves - in the eyes of most people, werewolves are evil, cursed magical creatures, not to mention that in the third year Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Snape did not mention such a thing as "mad wolf" when he introduced werewolves.

Arthur introduced the last person: "Xenophilius, this is Rita Skeeter, the most famous female journalist in the wizarding world. ”

Rita continued to correct him: "Arthur, I am the most famous journalist, not a female journalist, and there is no one who can compare to me. ”

"I've heard that you're being persecuted by the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet, is it true?" Lovegood's eyes lit up again, and he sat down beside her eagerly, and asked enthusiastically.

Rita smiled as sweetly as the syrup in Dumbledore's hand: "It's just some small contradictions, we have some conflicts of ideas in news reports. ”

"I need a platform that is brave and not afraid of being blocked by abusives, so that I can publish stories that should be known to the public, but for some reason, they can't know about them."

Lovegood nodded perfunctorily: "Of course, my "Singing Against the Tune" was born to go against the whole vulgar world. ”

Rita's eyelids jumped.

It was the first time she had heard someone say something like "contrarian" so justifiably.

"Then let's talk about pay." Rita took a deep breath and continued to smile sweetly.

Lovegood pulled out his notebook: "As a ubiquitous peeper, I want to ask you, have you spotted a curved horned snorer?" ”

"What's the ubiquitous peeper?" Rita asked in a whisper, gritting her teeth.

Lovegood was straightforward: "The nickname I just gave you, how is it, it's very handsome, isn't it?" ”

"It's so fitting for you!"

Rita took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen any scimitar-horned snorers. ”

"What scimitar-horned snorer?" Ron's eyes were straight and confused.

Hermione shook her head and looked at Harry.

Harry shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard Hagrid talk about it. ”

"A magical beast in the Land of a Thousand Lakes." An ethereal and fluttering voice came, "My dad said it existed, but it never been discovered. ”

Ron was taken aback: "When did you come over?" ”

"Just now." Luna replied to him.

"You're not afraid of me anymore?" Harry asked her.

Luna nodded, "You were kind to me just now, just after I told me about Professor Lupin. ”

"He's my uncle." Harry nodded, and Hermione patted Ron on the shoulder, motioning for him to switch positions with herself and sit closer to Harry.

"You seem to believe me?" Luna asked again, snapping her fingers, "You're the kind of person who is very strict and serious, and I thought you would take what I say more like a joke." ”

Harry looked at her, not quite understanding what she meant.

Ron leaned his head over, "Don't you know Lovegood?" ”

Over there, Mr. Lovegood let out a blank "ah" and looked at the children.

"I mean Luna." Ron scrambled to explain.

Mr. Lovegood nodded, turned his head back, and continued to pull Rita into the "scimitar" and something like that.

"What's wrong with Luna?" Hermione asked.

Ron sighed, "It seems that you are both too focused on studying, Luna is in Ravenclaw, no, famous throughout Hogwarts." ”

"Because you're just as reckless as Neville?" Harry asked.

Ron was a little surprised: "Why do you think that?" ”

"Miss Lovegood is only in fourth grade this year? Since she entered the school, a notice board will be posted on the notice board at the end of each semester, asking those who have picked up her things to return them to her. Harry found something about Luna from his memory.

Ron shook his head and looked at Luna, stopping to speak.

"There's nothing bad to say, little Ronnie." Luna's tone was calm, "Those are actually pranks played on me by my classmates. ”

"They don't like me very much, and call me crazy weird girl."

Ron and Hermione looked at Luna and then at Harry.

This is the first time I've met someone like Harry who can speak generously and without any emotion about the pain he's experiencing.

Practical joke?

The words in her mouth are understated, but those things may not be classified as "mischief".

"Why do you call me Little Ronnie?" Ron struggled with the question that came out of his mouth for a while.

"Your brother and your sister call you that." Luna earnestly, "I thought you'd like it." ”

They chatted, and it was more than an hour before Rita and Mr. Lovegood were reconciled, and they parted.

"That girl, weird." Hermione looked back at Luna and her father walking away, muttering.

"She's very intuitive." Harry nodded, "Kind of like Trelawney in the Eyes of the Sky." ”

"Gifted in divination?" Hermione thought thoughtfully.

Rita stomped her feet, swearing, and her voice drowned out the discussion between the few of them: "Mr. Potter, am I really going to work on Contradiction?" I can't stand that guy! ”

"He dragged me to discuss the scimitar-horned snoring beast and harassment for a long time!"

"Strange creatures that exist only in the imagination!"

"He even wanted me to find those things, it's unreasonable, how can this kind of magazine still sell, how can it still sell nearly a hundred copies a month!"
