Chapter 564 The Legend Of The Owl Hook

In fact, Hermione didn't seem to care about Harry's alienation. The work Levin gave her made her life very fulfilling every day. When she returned to the tower, she had quite a few friends with whom she could complain. It could be said that her life was still the same now. Very happy.

Seeing Harry's hesitation, Hermione waved her hand boldly, "Okay, don't dawdle. Tell me what problems you encountered quickly. It's already very late now. I have to go back to sleep after solving the problem. Woolen cloth."

Upon hearing this, Harry quickly told Hermione about the strange phenomena in his training class.

Hermione's brows furrowed, obviously confused. According to her original expectation, Harry, the savior of the wizarding world, still grew up in the Muggle world, so he would have a higher reputation and wider welcome among Muggle-born students. However, Voldemort was the most discriminatory. Muggle's.

However, the reality was contrary to her expectation.

"Hermione, tell me, why are my Y.M.D.A training classes so unpopular?" Harry's voice was filled with frustration. He sat down next to Hermione dejectedly, looking for answers.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Hermione turned her head sharply, her eyes widening as if she heard something unbelievable: "Wait [what did you say? What's the name of your training class?"

"Y.M.D.A, short for Dumbledore's Youth Army." Harry answered a little confused. He didn't understand why Hermione had such a big reaction.

"Oh...yeah...you don't know?"

An uncontrollable smile appeared on Hermione's lips. She tried hard to suppress her laughter, but in the end she couldn't hold it back and started laughing.

Hermione at this time was very different from her usual image - usually she would smile so happily only when she was with Levin - she obviously did not expect that Leigh, who grew up in the Muggle world, would commit such an "un-Muggle" "mistake.

She originally wanted to say this to Harry, but as she spoke, she suddenly remembered Harry's unpleasant experiences at his aunt's house.

So, she suppressed her laughter abruptly and replaced it with a serious expression.

"Harry, do you know?"

She spoke slowly, suppressing a smile in her tone, "In Muggle language habits, the word 'youth' not only means young people, but also has the literal translation of 'young man'. So, the lyrics of the song Weasley likes , if understood according to this meaning, it becomes 'It's a lot of fun to stay at the YMCA... There is everything a young man needs here... You can go together with other young men.' This In fact, it is a song often used as an anthem by organizations that support homosexuality in the Muggle world. It is even called the 'gay national anthem'.

At this point, Hermione couldn't help but look at Harry, and found a trace of surprise and embarrassment flashing in the other man's eyes.

Although this topic is somewhat sensitive, it is very important for Harry to understand these cultural backgrounds.

"You should really watch the original MV of this song during the holidays and learn about the Muggle culture." Hermione continued, "In fact, when the Offline United TV station played this song, in order to avoid causing any discomfort To avoid necessary controversy and trouble, I deliberately chose to replace the original MV scene - in short, the reason why those Muggle-born wizards ran away when they saw you is probably because they thought you were gay wizards."

Hearing this, the water Harry had just drank suddenly spurted out of his nostrils, causing him to cough.

Ronald on the side suddenly turned pale when he heard Hermione's words, and then quickly turned red, as if he was struck by something. He looked at Hermione with wide eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

December at Hogwarts is always dominated by strong winds and heavy snow. The biting cold wind carried the wet snowflakes and penetrated every gap in the castle, leaving the entire school enveloped in a cold and humid atmosphere.

This bad weather caused faculty and students to catch colds one after another, and colds spread in Hogwarts.

Especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, students will have high fevers every day.

The number of patients continues to rise, making everyone feel worried.

Professor Umbridge suspected that someone was behind the scenes, and she sternly ordered the head nurse, Madam Pomfrey, to find a solution as soon as possible to cure these strange fever cases.

However, little effect has been achieved, and the disease seems to be extremely stubborn. Even if it is temporarily cured, there is always a risk of recurrence.

In this context, Fred and George's Fever Candy became unexpectedly popular.

They took advantage of this opportunity and made a lot of money, smiling from ear to ear every day, as if they were celebrating some grand festival.

Obviously, they have been completely immersed in the joy of making money and getting rich.

In this cold and humid environment, the place near the fireplace in the common room has become the most sought-after location.

Because it is warm, comfortable and dry enough, a large number of people gather here every day. The students sit around the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire, chatting and communicating, and many people take the time to do their homework.

At the same time, the cram school classes of the Boshi Society also started as scheduled.

Although the emergence of Professor Umbridge caused some controversy and dissatisfaction, it is undeniable that she did bring more students to the cram school. The number of applicants exceeded all expectations.

Especially the course Defense Against the Dark Arts... Of course, it can no longer be called that.

At Levin's insistence, the tutoring course was renamed "Magical Self-Defense Class." Although the name sounds a bit self-deceptive, Levin firmly believes that this is the only way to bypass Tom's curse.

Sometimes, people have to believe in evil.

Those professors who unfortunately passed away are the best examples.

Levin doesn't want to see anyone make the same mistake again, so he would rather take this seemingly absurd approach to avoid risks.

Although the name has been changed, there is still an endless stream of students coming to register.

They are not limited to the fifth grade students who are about to face the O.W.Ls exam. Little wizards from other grades also come to join in the fun.

There is no other reason than that, according to rumors, the famous Levin Green may appear in class in person.

For most wizards, being able to receive personal instruction from Levin Green is a rare opportunity. His achievements and reputation are well-known in the wizarding world, not to mention a series of recent events - who doesn't want to learn some practical magic for self-defense?

Among these students, there are especially many young girls.

Many Levin fans even formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and they launched a loud slogan: "Vowing to poach Zhang Qiu and Granger!"

In their opinion, as long as they wield the hoe well, there is no corner they cannot pry through.

With so many girls, can't they compare to one Zhang Qiu and one Hermione Granger?

However, facing these enthusiastic female fans, Hermione seemed quite calm.

She felt that she had enough love rivals - almost all the good sisters around her were potential love rivals. Don't worry if there are too many lice, she is already used to this kind of scene.

In contrast, Zhang Qiu's attitude was even more arrogant.

In her eyes, these so-called "female fans" of Levin are not worth mentioning at all. Female fans who are truly threatening - such as Ginny, Astoria and others - have already successfully sneaked into Levin's side.

Therefore, she believes that there is no need to unite with other people and only needs to focus on her own love life.

In the evening, after dinner in the auditorium, Levin decided on a whim to give a class in person.

He hopes that this class will give the cram school a good start and also see the strength and potential of these students.

So, he, Hermione and Gabrielle went to the classroom of the Erotic Society to prepare to start his teaching journey.

The classroom has been decorated with a new look, and thick ribbons of holly and mistletoe have been hung along the windows, which are intertwined to form a unique landscape.

Next to the podium, a Christmas tree stood there, with golden stars shining on the tree. Under the influence of magic, each one seemed to be beating a cheerful melody. The branches were also covered with apples, each of which was full of temptation. Human red.

The door creaked open, and Luna walked in. Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Hello," she greeted vaguely, her eyes wandering around the classroom, and finally landed on the decorations, "It's very beautiful, who decorated it?"

"It's Qiu Zhang," Hermione explained with a smile, "She has been worrying about learning things during this period, so these decorations were all her idea."

That's right, besides Zhang Qiu and Levin, who are descendants of the Dragon Kingdom, who else would hang apples on the Christmas tree?

The image connection between Christmas Eve and Apple only exists in the Chinese context.

Luna nodded, her eyes falling on the mistletoe next to the three of them.

She suddenly became serious and said: "Did you know? Mistletoe often has oyster hooks inside it.

Levin and Hermione looked at each other, then couldn't help laughing.

The hook is a magical and weird magical creature that looks like a creepy maggot.

It has a life span of twenty years, has a sickle-shaped hook on its tail, and the most surprising thing is that it has three eyes. The existence of this creature seems to be a challenge to the conventions of nature.

Legend has it that this creature was discovered by a wizard named Eliguji in a mysterious place called Jiao Village, hence the name Chrysalis Hook.

However, the wizard was hooked by an owl hook without his knowledge, and died of illness just three days later.

This story adds a layer of mystery and horror to Owl Hook.

Everything has a but!

The above are all descriptions of Owl Hook in "The Quibbler".

Yes, this is another magical creature made up by Xenorius Lovegood.

Only he and Luna claimed to have seen it!

Why would he make it up?

Levin believes that the reason why Lovegood Sr. invented this creature may be because of a British tradition: "men and women who pass under the mistletoe kiss at Christmas time."

He was worried that his daughter Luna would be forced to kiss a boy by this traditional routine, so he deliberately made up a creature like a hook to scare her.

Although this idea is a bit bizarre, it is not unreasonable.

After all, Doctor Lovegood was famous for his love and protection for his daughter.

Therefore, if someone wants to marry Luna, he must first go through Old Lovegood.

Every time Levin asked Luna to hang out or visit the tower, he could feel Old Lovegood's resentful gaze.

But Levin didn't care about this. He even began to look forward to the fact that if he had a daughter in the future - whether it was born from Luna or not - Luna would be able to help teach her and open her children's eyes to strange stories.

But, if Levin has a daughter in the future, Luna will help teach her and tell those weird stories. .
