The moment this name appeared in front of Sean's eyes, it was like a rusty lock buried in the dust being suddenly opened.
A flood of memories came flooding back.
He looked at his hands in disbelief, unable to move for a moment.
Luna Lovegood, a Ravenclaw student, one year younger than Harry. She looked dazed, as if her appearance anywhere was accidental, and she obviously exuded a strange and strange aura.
Huhu's temperament.
She has silver eyes and dark golden brown hair. Her eyes are protruding, giving her a surprised expression. Her complexion is pale and her eyebrows are very light.
She often wears a pair of carrot-shaped earrings and a necklace made of butterbeer corks.
She has many beliefs that have no basis in fact, but her firm belief and calm demeanor are in some ways her greatest strength. She believes in the existence of the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax, and also believes that she will see her deceased deceased after her death.
Mother.
Her favorite magazine is "The Quibbler," a publication that specializes in publishing sightings of creatures that are said to not exist in the world and some non-mainstream news. The editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" is Luna's father.
Xenophilius Lovegood.
Luna was often the butt of jokes, and people called her Crazy Lovegood behind her back. She used to stick her wand behind her ears just to be on the safe side. Her classmates always stole her things and hid them.
There was always a sign posted on the last day asking everyone to return their things to her.
However, Luna always shows amazing tolerance and tolerance for such behavior. Although she is definitely aware that everyone is teasing her, she never fights back, and she even seems not to notice everyone's teasing at all. For example, she knows that everyone is teasing her.
Call her a crazy girl, but she was able to tell Harry this without any hesitation.
She is much calmer and more composed than her peers. She often looks into the distance and has a sense of detachment from everything around her. Although her unwavering beliefs are not accepted or understood by others, they give her dignity.
A special, but very charming Ravenclaw girl, her best friend is Ginny, a Gryffindor in the same grade, and she also had a relationship with Neville Longbottom.
She is a loyal partner and a true Ravenclaw. How could such a character not be impressive?
However, an indescribable fear arose in Sean's heart.
It was like there was a floodgate in his mind. After seeing the name Luna, it finally opened.
"I am a time traveler..."
So, how could there be no memory of Luna in Sean’s mind?!
However, before that, he had spent more than five years at Hogwarts, and Sean had never thought about this girl who should be in the same college as him and one year younger than him.
He completely ignored Luna and never thought about it in the first place.
An important character who plays a very important role in the original work, a very special person... Sean has no doubt that he would be very willing to become friends with someone like Luna.
However, Luna did not enroll in Hogwarts, and there was no place for her in this castle - it was not that Hogwarts did not accept her, nor that she went to another college by mistake.
Sean was certain that he had never thought of Luna before! Never!
She just seemed to appear out of nowhere.
And the memories of Luna Lovegood in his mind finally poured out with her appearance.
This list is the list of freshmen whose admission notices will be issued next year, but normally Luna should be only one grade younger than me, in the same grade as Daisy and Ginny... She is only about eleven years old now?
No, that's definitely not the case... Sean thought of Lillian, the wizard girl who was suddenly discovered. Her name had just appeared, but she was almost as old as him.
Why is it that the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance are only now writing Luna's name...
Countless thoughts popped into Sean's mind, and he frowned tightly.
Could the abnormal situation that Hermione just had have something to do with this?
Sean walked forward unconsciously. After seeing a student he knew, he called out to him: "Hey, have you heard of "The Quibbler"?"
"Professor?" The third-year student thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, Professor, what is this? A magazine?"
"It's nothing, go and do your business."
"Okay, bye, professor."
Sean's brows furrowed even more. Yes, he had never thought of the famous magazine "The Quibbler" before, and if his memory was correct, this magazine had a great reputation in the wizarding world.
Reviews of it are also very polarized.
Nothing about the Lovegood family seems to have appeared in this world, and I subconsciously ignored it all...
There is a big problem...
Moreover, Sean's intuition told him that Hermione's situation was also related to this situation.
Sean quickly walked to Professor McGonagall's office and asked for Luna's home address.
Without any waiting, he left Hogwarts Castle directly and rushed to his destination.
"It would be great if I also had the ability of an owl to find paths..." Sean frowned and thought as he walked through the low mountains.
Hogwarts doesn't seem to be very clear about the students' residential addresses, because the magic on the admission letter keeps changing with the recipient's address - the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, which is what Sean got.
address.
The Weasley family seems to be nearby.
Sure enough, Sean did not find the location of Lovegood's house, but found the Burrow first.
Even though Mrs. Weasley's two brothers have not died, and the economic conditions of the Weasley family are much better than in the original book, their family does not seem to have changed much.
It seemed to have been a large pigsty made of stone before, and later some rooms were added here and there, until it was several stories high and crooked, as if it had been built by magic. There were four or five chimneys on the red roof.
, there was a sign stuck diagonally in front of the house that read "The Burrow". There were some high-top leather boots and a rusty crucible beside the door.
It is now evening, and a faint wisp of blue smoke rises from the burrow in the snow.
Sean thought for a moment and decided to ask. Maybe someone from the Weasley family knew the specific location of the Lovegood house.
Knocking lightly on the door, there was a quick response.
"Who is it?" That voice should be Mrs. Weasley.
"It's me, Sean Wallop, ma'am, we met before in Diagon Alley."
The door was opened, and the plump, kind-faced woman showed a surprised expression: "Oh, it's you, Sean?"
"Yes, ma'am, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. Do you know that there is a family called Lovegood's nearby?"
When asking questions, Sean stared at Mrs. Weasley's face without revealing anything.
Mrs. Weasley fell into thinking, and then she showed an incredulous expression: "Oh, oh, yes, God, I don't even remember, but as soon as you mentioned it to me, I got some vague impressions.
.”
"That?"
Mrs. Weasley walked out and pointed to a hilltop in the distance: "It should be there, right? It's really strange. I clearly remember that there was such a family named Lovegood, but I seemed to have ignored it before."
Sure enough, it's not just me...other people in this world didn't realize it before.
"Why are you going to their house so late? Oh my God, it's snowing so heavily. Have you had dinner, kid?" Mrs. Weasley was as enthusiastic as ever.
Sean declined the invitation of this kind woman, said goodbye and flew towards the mountain.
With the help of the magic spell, Sean saw the place he was looking for among the snowflakes in the sky.
A strange house stood in the snowy sky, like a huge black column, with a ghostly moon hanging behind it in the evening sky.
Sean came down and saw three hand-painted signs nailed to the ruined courtyard gate.
Block One: "The Quibbler" Editor-in-Chief: X. Lovegood
Piece 2: Pick your own bunch of mistletoe
Block 3: Don’t touch the airship Li
The house, which looked like a chess piece, had already turned on the lights. Sean tried to knock on the door, but the damaged courtyard door fell down on its own after being blown by the wind.
Sean did not relax, he held his wand in his hand, and then slowly walked into the yard.
The winding paths were covered with all kinds of strange plants, and there was a bush full of orange radish-shaped fruits, which seemed to be the kind Luna often wore as earrings.
Two old crabapple trees bent by the wind stood guard on both sides of the front door. Their leaves had fallen off, but they were still full of small red fruits and large mistletoe corollas decorated with white beads.
These plants are covered with a light layer of snow, giving them a strange feeling of being out of touch with the world.
The main entrance is a heavy black door with iron round nails embedded in it and an eagle-shaped door knocker.
After thinking for a moment, Sean raised his hand and knocked three times.
In less than ten seconds, the door was opened, and Xenophilius Lovegood stood there, barefoot, wearing what seemed to be a stained nightgown, with long, white hair.
Dirty and messy.
He looks very young, a bit cross-eyed, and his whole person exudes a sense of slovenly madness.
"Oh, hello, hello - who are you?" Xenophilius Lovegood's beard was still stained with some food residue, and he kept shaking it as he spoke.
Sean noticed that there was a gold chain hanging around his neck, with a strange symbol flashing on it, which looked like a triangular eye - that was the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.
"Hello, are you the Lovegood family?" Sean said.
Xenophilius Lovegood's eyes widened, and he suddenly wiped his hands in a hurry, and then said excitedly: "You're interested in "The Quibbler," right? Oh my god, you came at the perfect time.
I can’t believe it! I wanted to release it before..."
As he spoke, Xenophilius Lovegood suddenly showed a puzzled and troubled expression: "Yes, last time I wanted to find someone to publish it, others said I was crazy... I want to expand
More content, but why have I done nothing at home for so many years..."
Having done nothing for so many years? Sean keenly captured the information in the other party's words.
He cleared his throat and showed an apologetic expression: "Sorry, Mr. Lovegood, I am the admissions professor at Hogwarts. My name is Sean Wallop. I have some things I want to talk to you about during this trip.
Daughter Luna Lovegood makes sure."
Xenophilius obviously showed a regretful expression, but he quickly showed a warm smile: "Welcome, welcome!"
Sean took off his hat and walked in. The fireplace in the room was burning brightly. No wonder Xenophilius Lovegood was only wearing pajamas and barefoot.
Xenophilius closed the door after Sean and said happily: "You value my Luna very much? That's great - but I remember, it's not the time to recruit students yet, right? And I only accepted students back then.
Now that Owl Passes the Word, have you improved your business?"
"The situation now is different from before. Hogwarts hopes to have a deeper understanding of its students. Of course, it also hopes that students can understand Hogwarts better." Sean explained casually, scanning the surroundings.
Then he found the girl he was looking for.
Silver eyes, dark golden brown hair, slightly protruding eyes, very white skin, and very light eyebrows - Luna Lovegood stood up on the chair by the fireplace after hearing the sound.
She was wearing a white nightgown, with red radish earrings hanging on her ears, and a necklace made of butterbeer corks hanging around her neck. Like her father, she was also barefoot.
Xenophilius said happily to Luna: "Is this...uh?"
"Shaun Wallup." Sean reminded.
"Yes, Professor Wallop, from Hogwarts, is responsible for your admissions - Mr. Wallop, this is my Luna." Xenophilius continued to say happily.
Just like the Luna in her impression, the girl nodded towards Sean with an ethereal expression that seemed to be detached from everything.
"Hello, Professor Wallop." Her voice sounded like it was far away in the sky.
Sean struggled to smile: "Nice...to meet you."
Luna's figure is definitely not that of an eleven-year-old child! She is much shorter than him, but she is definitely about the same age as Ginny!
She should have enrolled in Hogwarts a long time ago!
What he saw in front of him made Sean feel very bad. He sat down at Xenophilius's greeting and kept looking at Luna.
Luna noticed his gaze, but she did not show any impatience or displeasure. Instead, she just looked at Sean with slight curiosity.
"So -" Xenophilius rubbed his hands, "Professor Wallop, what do you want to ask our Luna?"
Sean took a deep breath and showed a calm smile: "Mr. Lovegood, why didn't your daughter enter school before?"
Xenophilius was stunned. He said half hesitantly and half confused: "There was no notice. I have lived here with Luna... for many years..."
