Chapter 408
They walked through the garden and came to the castle door. They walked forward and Robert knocked three times on the heavy black door. The door was embedded with iron round nails, and there was an eagle-shaped knocker, which was the same as the door in front of Ravenclaw Tower. That one looks similar.
It’s completely unclear from the door which direction Mr. Lovegood’s preferences lie, classical or modern?
After a while, footsteps came from the castle. It was a girl with long dirty blond curly hair. She wore a necklace made of butterbeer corks around her neck, a pair of blimp earrings on her ears, and another on her wrist. A dark gold bracelet with a cute rabbit pendant hanging on it.
The girl was wearing a golden multi-layered ruffled dress, barefoot, looking at the two of them with light silver eyes, and said in an ethereal voice, "You are here."
The first time she saw Luna, Hermione had a strange feeling. The girl's temperament was so ethereal that it felt like her eyes did not stop in this world.
This made Hermione, who always lived under the spotlight, feel a little awkward and felt ignored, but then she realized that she shouldn't judge people by their appearance like this, adjusted her mentality, stretched out her hand, and said to Luna, "You Well, Miss Lovegood, I'm Hermione Granger."
Luna's gaze turned to her, and Hermione noticed her slightly bulging eyes, giving the impression that she was surprised.
But in fact, the other party just looked at her.
"A weird girl," Hermione thought.
Luna's ethereal voice sounded, "Hello, Miss Granger, I am Luna. Welcome you two to visit the Crescent-Horned Snorlax's lair."
"???" Hermione looked confused.
Snorlax, what is that? !
The academic girl was flipping through "Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them" in her mind, but she had no memory of this creature at all.
Then she began to recall "Magical Creatures of the Mediterranean", "Exploration of Magical Creatures in the Polar Regions", "Illustrated Book of Rare and Endangered Magical Creatures"...
Great, she's down.
"Good morning, Luna. I'm sorry for coming here. I hope we didn't disturb your search for the Crescent-Horned Snorlax." Robert looked curiously at the interior of the castle, "I wonder if Mr. Lovegood is here?"
"Dad is very happy to hear that someone is visiting." Luna turned sideways and said, "Please come in."
The first floor is the kitchen and dining room. It is a very standard round shape. Mr. Lovegood may have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything here is made round in order to match the walls.
The stove, sink, dining table, sideboard, etc., everything that can be seen has curvature, but the decoration is obviously designed by Luna. She used bright primary colors to paint flowers, insects and birds on these furniture. kind.
An extremely distinctive personal style that others will never be able to imitate.
In the center of the room was a cast-iron spiral staircase that led up to the second floor. At this time, there was a strange collision sound coming from upstairs.
"Dad is waiting for you on the second floor." Luna said, taking the lead in walking up the stairs.
The second floor is the living room. Perhaps because few people visit their home, the room was converted into a workshop by Mr. Lovegood. There are many books and papers stacked there, and there is barely enough room for a place to stay. The paths for people to walk on are simply chaotic and thrilling.
Well, this at least proves...
There is no mistress in this house.
Unless that guy is also a slob.
There is a delicate animal model hanging from the ceiling of the workshop. It is not a living creature, but it can flap its wings or move its mouth. It should be a magic spell or a puppet technique similar to what Teacher Dika is good at.
"Kakaka-"
"Bang bang——"
"Kakaka-"
Strange sounds filled the whole room, and Robert's eyes fell on the corner of the room, where there was a machine with many gears that were rotated by magic.
There is a flat workbench, some metal cylinders, and a lot of wooden frames. It looks like there is a bookcase on the workbench, but in fact it is an old printing press, because it is slowly spitting out copies of "Singing." sing a different tune".
Apart from looking old, this thing is no different from an inkjet printer, and its finished product is even better.
Sitting next to the machine was a man with messy white hair. He was wearing dirty pajamas. He was obviously preparing to receive guests, but this look...
Okay, maybe he's a loose guy?
"Oh, welcome to the Crescent-Horned Snorlax's lair." The man heard the footsteps and greeted the two people who came to visit, "Want to drink something? I recommend Gordig root tea, which I made myself. "
So what exactly is a Snorlax? Hermione cursed in her heart. This father and daughter simply refreshed her outlook on life. Is this really the lair of some kind of beast? !
"The Snorlax is a creature from fairy tales. It lives in colder places and is characterized by a curved horn." Robert explained to Hermione in a low voice, "It's probably like a bedtime story for Muggles. The unicorns in it are almost the same.”
So it is a magical creature that really exists?
Hermione looked interested.
Regarding this point, Robert could only reluctantly say that he didn’t know either!
Even if such a creature exists, it will be very rare and have certain hidden abilities, right?
Maybe, like the dementors, it is a ghost-like creature?
In the magical world, everything can be determined, but when it comes to magical creatures, there is no certainty at all. Maybe someone hybridized a poison horned beast and an invisible beast to create a bent-horned snorkel?
Every year, magical biologists discover new magical creatures in the wild. Magical creatures do not have reproductive isolation and can be made of anything.
Just like opal.
The cute Pu Rongrong and the Phoenix, which is considered top notch even among XXXXX magical creatures, can actually give birth to children?
After thinking about it, Robert didn't know how they could see each other.
"I'm glad that you are interested in Bent-Horned Snorlax and are willing to subscribe to my magazine." Mr. Lovegood was very happy. Although "The Quibbler" was a best-selling magazine, more people liked his book, which made him happy. Extremely feeling of accomplishment.
Yes, even though Mr. Lovegood looks extremely slovenly, The Quibbler is a best-selling magazine.
The magazine specializes in publishing sightings of creatures that are said to not exist in the world, and unlike other magazines, the magazine does not pay authors royalties.
It's a bit like building an SCP foundation, but using magazines as a carrier.
The magazine also publishes some non-mainstream news, which simply contradicts the hot topics of the Daily Prophet, so many people still like to read it.
It's just that it's a magazine, not a daily newspaper, which means it's actually published once a month.
"Mr. Lovegood, I was wondering if you would be interested in publishing daily and weekly newspapers?"
