Chapter 165 Luna

Before reaching the Thestrals' territory, Sebastian was attracted by a burst of ethereal singing.

The song, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, drifted in the breeze through the forest and gently reached his ears.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us knowledge..."

This is......

Hogwarts school song!

This melody is so special that it makes people relax involuntarily after listening to it.

For a moment, Sebastian slowed down his pace. He didn't want to interrupt such a beautiful melody with his presence.

It seems that this little guy is definitely Luna.

At this year's freshman sorting ceremony, Sebastian paid special attention to his favorite original character.

That ethereal and clear voice is unique in Hogwarts, or even in the wizarding world.

However, he never expected that Luna and Ye Qi's friendship would start from now on.

In fact, before coming here, Sebastian thought that the little guy in the Forbidden Forest was Luna from the characteristics described by the centaur.

Therefore, he was not too worried. After all, if it was Luna's, she would definitely not encounter any danger. In the original book, she often played with the Thestrals.

Slowly, Sebastian came to the territory of the Thestrals.

The trees here are very dense, and only a little sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground in the forest.

What came into view was a little girl with blonde hair. She was sitting among the Thestrals, holding a tiny Thestral cub in her arms.

The Thestrals seemed to like Luna very much, constantly surrounding her and rubbing their heads against her gently.

Luna was not afraid of this magical animal with a terrifying appearance.

She gently stretched out her right hand and stroked the thestrals' black manes.

At the same time, her left hand kept stroking the cub's neck. The little thestral made comfortable sounds in her arms, and it was obvious that it enjoyed Luna's touch very much.

Compared to the Sorting Ceremony, Luna was not wearing the Hogwarts uniform now, but ordinary clothes.

She had her wand tucked behind her ear, which was adorned with earrings made of airship Lee, and a necklace made of butterbeer corks around her neck.

From a distance, she exudes a unique sense of fashion and relaxation.

Because Sebastian moved very quietly, Luna didn't notice his arrival until this moment, and she was still singing and playing with the Thestrals.

It was not until now that Sebastian understood why Luna was so loved by the magical creatures.

In his magical perception, Luna was always releasing pure and warm kindness to the people around her.

This kindness is pure and strong, radiating to every inch of space around.

It seemed to be able to penetrate all defenses, allowing those sensitive magical animals to put aside their hostility and gather around Luna.

That's why when Sebastian arrived, he saw such a happy scene.

Sebastian had only seen this trait of affinity with magical animals in one person before, and that was Uncle Newt.

Sebastian thought about it and realized that Luna and Uncle Newt did have many similarities.

They have the same pure minds, the same love for magical creatures, and the same appeal to magical creatures.

No wonder Luna later became an expert on magical animals in the original book.

but......

If you think about it carefully, there are some differences between Luna and Uncle Newt.

Uncle Newt's gift is the ultimate affinity with magical animals.

Luna was able to do this because of her extreme talent in emotions.

She seemed to have an innate ability to sense the emotions of the creatures around her and respond accordingly.

It seems that Luna was correctly sorted into Ravenclaw House. Her talents are so similar to those of Ravenclaw ladies.

“…We will study hard until we are reduced to dust.”

As the last line of the song was sung, a thestral nearby chirped twice softly at Luna, as if to remind her that someone was coming.

Luna gently stroked the singing Thestral, smiled, turned sideways, and looked in Sebastian's direction.

Then she raised her arm and waved to Sebastian.

"Professor Swan, have you come to see these lovely friends too?"

"Ms. Lovegood," Sebastian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Can you understand the calls of the Thestrals?"

"No, I don't understand," Luna shook her head, the cork necklace around her neck dangling as she moved.

"I can only roughly sense that it means to remind me that someone is coming."

Able to sense the consciousness of magical animals.

It seems that Luna is indeed a natural expert on magical animals.

Sebastian took two steps forward and said to Luna with a smile.

"Ms. Lovegood, how do you know about magical animals like the Thestrals? As far as I remember, there are no courses related to magical animals for first-year wizards."

"I have a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at home. I like that book very much and I know all the magical animals in it."

"Then you're not afraid of the Thestrals? You know, the Thestrals have a somewhat unique appearance."

"No," Luna smiled and shook her head, "Why should I be afraid of them?"

"They are very friendly. I originally came to the Forbidden Forest to look for Scimitar-Horned Snorkellers, but the Thestrals warmly kept me here halfway through."

"We are very good friends now."

"They are very unique in appearance, but it looks cool, doesn't it?"

"I've read in a book that many people can't see the Thestrals, so they think they don't exist."

"But I can feel that my mother is with me. With her help, I can see the Thestrals and make friends with them."

“I feel very happy that my mother is still around.”

Hearing this, Sebastian's heart sank slightly, and he felt an indescribable feeling.

Poor little Luna.

She was born into a family full of imagination and love.

His father, Xenophilius Lovegood, was the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler magazine, and his mother, Pandora Lovegood, was a talented magic researcher.

However, when Luna was nine years old, her mother Pandora died in a magic experiment.

This sudden tragedy plunged her into deep sorrow.

In order to help her get over her grief, her father tried his best to give Luna an environment full of love and care.

Under her father's loving care, she began to see everything around her in a unique way.

She believes her mother is still with her in the other world, and firmly believes that those unique magical creatures can also bring comfort and strength.

Suddenly, Sebastian realized that Luna's two shoes were different.

Could it be that school has just started for a week?

Did Luna's classmates start bullying her?

Did she hide her shoes or did she throw them away?

Sebastian tried to calm down and said to Luna with a smile.

"Ms. Lovegood, I also believe that your mother has always been with you."

"By the way, can you tell me?"

“Why do you have to wear two different shoes?”
