A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 71: Luna Lovegood

Felix was eating breakfast leisurely, and young wizards came one after another. They had smiles on their faces, joking and playing with each other.

The whole auditorium is full of lively air.

Coming out of the auditorium, Felix walked towards the Forbidden Forest, and met Hagrid who was coming to the castle.

"Hello, Professor Haip." Hagrid greeted warmly.

"Hello, Hagrid. I received your gift, and I like it very much." Felix said, especially its material.

"Ha, as long as you like it. By the way, the automatic mop you sent is quite useful, it cleans up the house." Hagrid said gruffly, "I don't have to worry about it, it can even clean itself Clean."

After exchanging pleasantries, Felix came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He was going to break off some chestnut sticks, and his stock was running low.

But halfway, he frowned.

On the snowy ground, there is a line of footprints heading straight towards the Forbidden Forest.

Felixby measured the size of the footprints, and it looked like a little wizard who violated the prohibition, so he followed the footprints.

As Felix walked in the snow, there was no sound other than the continuous "creaking" of snow and broken leaves under his feet. Before he knew it, he had come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

But this place is quite remote, in the northwest corner of the Forbidden Forest, quite close to the main entrance of Hogwarts - this is where the little wizards go to Hogsmeade village on weekends.

Felix stopped walking, and everything around him formed a silent atmosphere—white snowflakes fell from the sky, and he raised his head, as if countless ice crystals were flying towards him.

Everything is silent, and the world is so empty that it seems that he is the only one.

"Sijinjin~"

A black creature that looked like a horse poked its head out of the forbidden forest. It glanced at Felix with silvery white eyes, sneezed, and then flapped a pair of big, black bats. Wings retreated back into the woods.

"It turned out to be thestrals." Felix was a little surprised.

This is a fairly rare magical creature, and many wizards classify them as special invisible beasts-only those who have experienced death, witnessed death, and understand death can see them.

This trait has given them a bad reputation, and thestrals were once considered a sign of bad luck - comparable to the omen of death that a wizard encounters with a **** dog. But they are actually quite docile animals.

Felix became even more curious. He went deep into the Forbidden Forest, walked for about two minutes, and came to an open space.

In the snowy sky, a little girl stood among a dozen skinny thestrals. She held a handful of hay in her hand and handed it to the mouth of the thestrals closest to her.

He also heard her humming softly, looking very happy.

Felix waited for her to feed the withered grass in her hands before walking over. The sound of his footsteps woke up the little witch.

The girl looked up. She had wild, waist-length blond hair, very light eyebrows and eyes.

When he got close enough, he realized that the little witch actually had her wand stuck behind her left ear, and she was wearing a pair of toad glasses and a necklace made of butterbeer corks around her neck. .

At this moment, her eyes were fixed on the person who suddenly appeared.

A strange emotion welled up in Felix's heart. The weird little wizard... Could it be Ravenclaw?

"What's your name, which academy's little wizard?" Felix asked.

"Luna," she said in a voice that seemed to be singing, "Luna Lovegood, my name, I have seen your public class, you are a professor."

"Yes, it is obvious. Miss Lovegood, which house are you from?"

"Ravenclaw said that extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings."

Felix understood, as expected... He said in a reprimanded tone, "Why did you go deep into the Forbidden Forest alone, don't you know it's dangerous?"

"They are not dangerous." Luna said in a trance, "Thestrals are very friendly. Do you want to feed them together?" She suddenly squatted down, brushed away the snow, and grabbed a handful of half-green and half-yellow insects in her hand. of hay.

She turned her pale eyes to him, and Felix noticed that her voice barely rose or fell when she spoke, but paired with an ethereal voice, it gave the impression that she was singing.

"No," he said.

Then, Luna turned around and fed the hay to a little Thestral as if no one else was there. It seemed to have just learned to walk, lowered its stiff limbs, and stuck out its tongue to lick Luna's fingers.

She hummed a strange little tune softly, and the snow fell on her clothes, accumulating a thin layer.

Felix's mood became calm, and he didn't try to break the atmosphere.

"You're feeling better?" Luna said.

"What?"

"You were just stalked by a bugger." Luna said sympathetically.

"I - what did you say?"

"The harassing gadfly...they sometimes float into your ears and mess up your mind," she said, "I thought I heard one buzzing around here just now."

Felix didn't think there was such a creature, but he asked her with great interest, "Can you tell me more about the harassing gadfly?"

Luna showed a surprised expression. She held on toad glasses with one hand and looked at Felix from behind them.

"Haunterflies...well, they're usually invisible ~IndoMTL.com~ but they glow red with excitement when they want to do something to your brain."

"So, did you see that?"

"That's right." She said with great certainty, as if she was speaking some kind of truth.

Felix became suspicious for the first time. He glanced around, but found nothing.

After a while, the two returned to the castle together.

Walking on the road, he asked Luna, "Didn't you go home for Christmas?"

She said calmly, "Father has to rush the draft, "Christmas Special", but we have an appointment to find the horned snorkel during the summer vacation."

Another unknown name, "Your father is——"

"Xenophilius Lovegood, he is the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler."

Felix said nothing, he knew the name of the newspaper.

Standing at the gate of the castle, Felix said to her, "I won't deduct points this time, go, find your friends, and enjoy a happy Christmas."

"I'm very happy now." Luna smiled happily, and then she showed a thoughtful look, "You reminded me, I met a Gryffindor freshman before, She seems very friendly, maybe we can be friends."

"Really? You can try it." Felix encouraged casually.

"I remember, she was holding a rooster in her hand." Luna said lightly, "But who doesn't have any strange hobbies."

"What did you say?" Felix raised his volume, but he quickly softened his tone again, "Do you know her name?"

Luna shook her head, two strands of hair on her forehead fluttered, "But her hair is very beautiful, like a dancing flame."
