Chapter 192 Departure

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Luke looked at Luna in front of him, with a slightly weird expression on his face.
"Hi, Luke!"
Luna looked at Luke's smile and waved her hand, then she belatedly looked at Luke's height, and said in surprise: "You said in your letter that you have grown a lot taller, but now it seems that you are indeed a lot taller. .”
"Is it the help of the tall elves?"
Luke is dumbfounded...
"Who is a tall elf?"
Another new Fantastic Beast?
Luke had the urge to shake his head.It turns out that in this world, there are not only the hooks, the harassing horsefly, the horned snoring beast... and there are such things as tall elves?
Luna seemed to sense Luke's thoughts, and said to Luke: "My father tricked me into going to bed early, and the tall elf will come to give children a magic that can make people grow taller when they are sleeping. .But they rest very early, so you can only cast magic on the children who go to bed early, and then go back to rest. So the children who go to bed late will not be enchanted, so they will not grow taller."
Luke opened his mouth, and he noticed the word "cheat" in Luna's words.
"cheat?"
"Or else?" Luna looked at Luke's expression, and the smile on her face became more and more happy, "Dad seemed so guilty when he said this, of course it's a lie."
"Eh, I thought you would come up with some evidence that tall elves don't exist."
Luke didn't expect that Luna's reason for opposing Xenophilius was actually his own intuition.
Then Luke laughed out loud: "Hahaha, but this is indeed your style."
Luna still had a calm smile on her face.
"Let's go into the house and talk. But I don't think we can talk for too long. I'm going to take a long trip in a while."
Luke sent an invitation to Luna, and also explained that he might not be able to stay for too long.
He was really happy that Luna could come to play with him.There is a secret in this girl.It is a good thing to be able to observe closely.It's not that Luke doesn't want to find out what's secret about Luna, but he's too busy.Only a few days after the summer vacation, he had to go on his second long trip.
During the whole summer vacation, it is impossible to have any leisure.And this year Luna will also enroll, so there is a lot of time to contact Luna at Hogwarts.So he won't be there for a while.
But he didn't think about why Luna would suddenly come to him to play.
If it was a different person, Luke would definitely think that the other party had some plans.But the person who came was Luna... At most, he suspected that the little girl suddenly remembered that she knew his address, and then stopped by to have a look.
As for how it came here.Luke's own Floo address, he didn't tell anyone.He bought the house on the edge of town, closest to the woods.Transformed the fireplace there into a floo network, and told some of my friends, with a token from the guest.
If Dumbledore came by Floo, he would go there too.
Just now the snakes gave Luke a visitor with a token, and Luke thought it was Dumbledore.I really didn't expect it to be Luna's visit.But since the guests have come, no one can stay outside the door.This is so rude.
So he invites Luna into the house.But Luna surprised Luke again.
Luna shook her head and said, "I'm not here as a guest this time."
Luke was a little puzzled. If it was someone else, then Luke would doubt whether there was any other purpose.But still the same sentence, the person who came was Luna, which naturally made people not vigilant.
It was hard for him to imagine Luna coming to harm someone with malicious intent.In other words, it was even hard for him to imagine this girl harboring bad emotions other than anger...
Every maturity has its price.Either Luke or Luna.
"Then who are you?"
As soon as Luke finished speaking, he saw Luna take out a necklace from her chest.The pendant of this necklace is a small piece of emerald that hasn't been polished too much.
The quality of this emerald is very high.Not too small.For Luke, such a thing is naturally nothing, but for any normal wizard family, such an emerald is considered a luxury.
And as far as Luke knows... the Lovegood family, although it is a pure-blood family with a relatively long history.But because each generation of their heirs tends to be a little crazy, they have never been rich, nor can they be regarded as nobles.
In other words, the ancestors were never rich.
And now Xenophilius Lovegood really can't make much money. It is only natural that sales of the magazine The Quibbler have been dismal.Luke didn't think Lovegood could buy Luna this kind of decoration at all...
"This is something my mother left me."
Luna held the emerald in her hand, with a happy smile on her face that Luke had never seen before.
Her smile is always so indifferent, so fairy-like.Luke had never seen such a heartfelt happiness.
"She said that this gem can protect me in danger and keep me away from those dangers." Luna looked at the gem in front of her reluctantly, but her eyes finally revealed a touch of determination, " But I still think you might need it."
"It's... intuition."
Luna still had a relaxed smile on her face.
Luke looked at Luna and the necklace in her hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.He knew the significance of this thing to Luke, and he never imagined that Luna came here today just to give this thing to himself.
Whether Luna's intuition is accurate or not, this Luke can't tell.But Luna's worry about him, he really felt it.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to take the necklace.The necklace straightened for a moment, and then Luna let go of her hand.
She was clearly not as calm as she appeared to be.
"Luke, I don't know what's going to happen to you, but anyway...stay safe..."
Luna looked at Luke seriously, and said earnestly.
Luke also nodded seriously: "I see."
"You are this?"
Dumbledore's voice came from not far away.
He saw Luke from a distance, and a little girl he didn't know.
Looking at Dumbledore, Luke just nodded.The little girl looked at him curiously, but the expression on her face didn't change too much.
"This is my friend, Luna Lovegood." Luke introduced to Dumbledore. "She will be a first-year student at the end of this summer vacation."
"Lovegood? Pandora's child?"
Dumbledore looked at Luna in surprise.And his reaction fell into Luke's eyes, making Luke raise his eyebrows.
"You know my mother? Professor Dumbledore?"
Luna looked at Dumbledore with some doubts but also some surprises.
It is not uncommon for anyone in the wizarding world to know Dumbledore without meeting him.As a top wizard in the wizarding world who has been haunting the headlines of major wizarding news magazines all year round.Many people know the picture of Dumbledore, and many people know it.
Dumbledore stretched out his hand, touched Luna's head, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, your mother...is a very good wizard..."
As he said that, he looked at Luna with a complicated expression, as if there was something he couldn't bear to say.
"Your mother was a genius, Luna. But I..."
Dumbledore didn't say anything after all.
Just smiled and said to Luna: "I hope you can have a happy study life."
Dumbledore's expression was so kind, as if he saw his younger generation.
Luke saw this scene in his eyes.I don't know how much of it is my own reasons, and how much is from Luna's mother who has never met.
In the original book, Dumbledore didn't care about other students except Harry.Luke didn't know that it was because of his own influence that Dumbledore's plan to die was shaken, so he showed more emotions.Or it's because something happened in this time and space before I came that didn't appear in the original book.
Pandora Lovegood, this dead woman who didn't even know her original surname and wasn't valued by Luke before.For the first time, Luke had the desire to explore.
"I will, Professor, because Luke is here."
Luna's smile was still so bright and relaxed.When people see it, they will involuntarily feel comfortable.
She seemed so at ease.Neither being bound by the secular rules of the time, nor being moved by the eyes of others.
This is a carefree girl.
The combination of one old and one young watched Luna leave.The expressions on the faces of the two were different, but they both obviously had some feelings.
"That's a nice girl."
Dumbledore said rather emotionally.
Luke nodded.He never denied that Luna was a wonderful girl.May be slightly different from ordinary people in character.But if anyone likes such a character, he absolutely loves Luna so much.
Luke?Luke doesn't dislike such a character.The carefree and indifferent character has a kind of beauty that is like a fairy.
"So I think you'd better not delay her."
Dumbledore changed the subject abruptly, and said something that didn't fit the status of an elder.Luke knew that the current Dumbledore's position in speaking was his old friend and Luna's elder.
"For other kids, I know it's useless for me to say these things, and it will make him more attached to Luna. But you are different, Luke, after what we went through in France, I stopped treating you like a child Look."
Dumbledore's tone was quite flat.It can even be said to be cold.
"You are not a good match for any girl. At least not until you fulfill the wish in your heart. And, for now, none of the girls around you can truly be equal to you."
"An unequal relationship..."
"I understand, Professor!"
Luke interrupted Dumbledore.Dumbledore lowered his head and saw Luke's cold eyes.
"I understand everything. But Professor, I'll take care of these things myself."
"And, professor, I have to tell you..." Luke and Dumbledore looked at each other without giving an inch, "I don't like others to dictate my private affairs."
"Neither can the elders."
Luke has long passed the age when the words of the elders are regarded as standard.He was reborn once, and besides completing the system's tasks, the rest of the things had to be decided by himself.
Dumbledore and Luke looked at each other for ten seconds, and finally smiled helplessly: "You just need to know it yourself, it's useless for me to say more."
With that said, Dumbledore pointed to the cabin in the distance and said, "I have to borrow your dressing room."
He pointed to the suitcase in his hand: "I have to change a suit of clothes."
Luke nodded: "It's up to you, the locker room will open by itself."
Dumbledore nodded, and walked towards the cabin with the box.
Luke, on the other hand, looked at the position where Luna left, and remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, there was a sigh.
........................
Luke looked at the brown suit in front of him and a somewhat ruffian jazz hat.Dumbledore, who was dressed like a lively old English gentleman, had some surprise in his eyes.
Dumbledore said with some pride: "When I was young, I was also very fashionable!"
He himself is not a conservative person, he just knows his own character and his own strength, so he locks himself up with layers of rules so that he cannot act recklessly.
He is so strong that he can destroy the existing order of the wizarding world by himself.Unfortunately, he did not like the existing order.The only thing that can make him restrain the desire to destroy the existing order, if the existing order is destroyed, countless people will lose their lives.
Life is so precious.Whenever a human life is lost, someone mourns it.Especially when his beloved relative died, Dumbledore had experienced the heartbreak, distress and anger at that moment.
That's pain that can drive you crazy.
If you have been exposed to rain yourself, don't pour water on others.
Dumbledore could watch someone grieve over the loss of a loved one.But he didn't want this to happen because of himself.That's why he was so nervous about Luke.If you can't stop Luke, then at least you can't make Luke become extreme.Become your younger self, or Grindelwald.
"I can't help but compliment your clothes. You remind me of another famous educator."
"Oh, which one?"
"A principal who once appeared in my dream is a Frenchman named Angers."
Luke said casually, as if the name had really only appeared in a dream.
Dumbledore nodded: "If there is such a person, I would be very willing to get to know him."
Luke laughed dryly.
"Where's your luggage? We're leaving..."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's empty hand.asked with some doubts.But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
Isn't this a chance for this kid to show off?
Luke patted his belt with a smile and said: "Multifunctional belt, professor, you deserve it!"
"Hi, Luke!"
Luna looked at Luke's smile and waved her hand, then she belatedly looked at Luke's height, and said in surprise: "You said in your letter that you have grown a lot taller, but now it seems that you are indeed a lot taller. .”

Luke patted his belt with a smile and said: "Multifunctional belt, professor, you deserve it!"
