Chapter 387 Close the Net (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
"dad?"
In the Ravenclaw common room.
Luna Lovegood turned her head and glanced at the closed door behind her, and then at Elena, who was holding her hand.
"Wait a minute, my dad hasn't come in yet."
"It doesn't matter. Didn't Mr. Lovegood say that? He has never been blocked by the issue of the eagle ring. If we take the initiative to open the door at this time, it will be a distrust of your father."
Elena showed a sly smile, "Luna, don't you believe in your father's wisdom?"
Ever since they met, Elena has been trying to find an opportunity to avoid Xenophilius and Dumbledore and be alone with Luna - compared to the suspicious adult wizard with a stable worldview, she is still a child.
Little wizards are undoubtedly more malleable, and Elena has already verified this with Hermione, Hannah and others.
After all, a person's power is limited. Even those as powerful as Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Voldemort still need to form their own team to expand their influence and voice, and ultimately achieve their goals.
After experiencing the shameful "joint betrayal" of Lao Radish and Lao Tudou this morning, Elena has become more and more aware of how important it is to have a small team of her own.
However, for Elena, the choice of her future core team is actually much easier than that of her "predecessors" - relying on the triple advantages of rebirth + time travel + cheating, she actually only needs to be precise
By completing a favorability guide, you can easily gather a group of excellent "Sandaime Demon King" team.
Elena knew very well from beginning to end that she was not a gifted think tank.
As her influence in this world gradually expands, the familiar advantages in her mind about the plot of the original work and the development direction of the future world will gradually disappear and dissipate.
At this time, Hermione and Luna's winged think tank is particularly important.
As a great man said, "Education starts from childhood." Under her deliberate guidance, Hermione Calculator Granger has gradually begun to get on the right track, so Luna Dice Girl...
Lovegood also needs to start training.
If Hermione Granger believes in "facts and logic", then Luna regards "intuition and origin" as the basis for understanding everything. To be precise, the two girls who are equally calm and determined almost represent the beginning of human wisdom.
Two directions.
Elena is very curious. If the world view and education Luna has received from the beginning are bigger than the world in the original work, how will this little angel, who is already full of all kinds of whimsical ideas, grow?
To what extent?
Of course, before everything begins, the family status must first be determined...
"Luna, you just said you were ten years old this year, right? When is your birthday?"
Elena was chatting casually while dragging Luna around the Ravenclaw common room.
"February 13th."
"Well, although I am also ten years old, my birthday is September 25th...so, you have to call me sister."
Elena turned her head, looked at Luna and Luoli with her wandering eyes, and said seriously,
"Okay, sister Elena."
Luna nodded as if she understood, and answered softly and obediently.
As she spoke, the girl raised her head and curiously looked at the Ravenclaw common room like a chick that had just emerged from the nest.
Standing outside the door, you can't see it very clearly. It's only after you walk into the Ravenclaw lounge that you can appreciate the dreamlike colors presented in this circular room:
The smooth wooden floor depicts various cute creatures, and the dark blue carpet above is decorated with star patterns.
Above is a dome as deep violet as the night sky, with a moon-like pattern emitting soft light. In other parts, stars arranged according to constellations drift slowly on the dome, strolling leisurely.
The circular lounge is surrounded by several circles of huge sofas. There is a round small table in the middle of the sofa. In the center of the small table are some weird and interesting magic instruments, such as a diagram of the celestial sphere that illustrates the shaking, or
A music box that emits strange sounds and mist, and several magical quills that appear to be sleeping.
The entire lounge, except for the dome, a few doors and huge floor-to-ceiling bay windows, does not have any trace of a wall - where there should be walls, there are huge bookshelves and cabinets that go straight to the roof, and there are books on them.
The colorful books just vividly formed a mosaic pattern of a bronze eagle soaring in the blue sky.
A cornflower blue curtain hangs above the floor-to-ceiling bay window, with a huge Ravenclaw eagle painted on it...
What a beautiful room. Is this the Ravenclaw house that my father and mother would talk about from time to time when we were children?
Luna Lovegood's silver-grey eyes sparkled, and her mind was captured by this wonderful common room almost instantly. She couldn't wait to grow up quickly and come to this magical castle.
bingo.
Noticing the look and yearning in the eyes of little Luna next to her, Elena curled her lips and suddenly thought of an excellent idea.
"Luna, do you want to come to Hogwarts early? I have an idea."
"Eh? Is it really possible?!"
Suddenly being poked at by Elena, Luna was stunned for a moment, then quickly showed a hesitant expression. After a few seconds of hesitation, Luna slowly shook her head.
"However, I still want to stay with my father at home for one more year. Anyway, I will go to Hogwarts next year to study, so I am not in a hurry for these few months."
Huh? I didn’t expect Luna to be so sensible?
It seemed that pure material temptation might not work anymore - that's right, this was the little angel Luna in her impression.
When the plan failed, there was another plan. Elena rolled her eyes and their eyes lit up again.
"That's true, but... according to the previous plans for the future of "The Quibbler", the amount of information and length of this publication will increase at least four to five times. If your father is still the only one, then the workload may expand.
It’s five to ten times more than it is now.”
Elena sighed softly, the little hair on her head swaying quietly, with a look of pity on her face.
"Oh, it's a pity. I guess with Mr. Lovegood's character, he won't choose to recruit a new magazine editor in the short term. If nothing else happens, he may have to work for more than ten hours a day in the next days.
But there's nothing we can do about it, because he doesn't have any extra manpower to support him for the time being..."
"Will Dad have a hard time in the coming days?"
Seeing the expression on Elena's face, Luna asked nervously, subconsciously hugging the little flat-headed owl in her arms tightly.
"This is not a matter of hard work or not, this is a kind of... a kind of fatigue accumulated from quantity to change, ah, by the way, I almost forgot, he also has to take care of your three meals a day and daily life.
Tsk tsk tsk..."
While speaking, Elena glanced at little Luna who looked nervous, and said softly with meaning.
"What a pity. If someone could step forward and share even some of the most basic work tasks, I think Mr. Lovegood would be able to relax a lot and at least be able to sleep well every day. But the problem is not big.
After all, we are all wizards. Once in a while, we can drink some energy-reviving potions and cast a few spells on ourselves, and we can always persevere."
Hearing the scene described by Elena, the look on Luna Lovegood's face became more and more uneasy.
"Sister Elena, what can I do to help?" a certain little wing said anxiously.
Unknowingly, the topic had gradually been firmly controlled by Elena.
Xenophilius Lovegood's worries are not wrong. Compared with the innocent and innocent Luna, a black-hearted maggot like Elena is really terrifying, especially when she can still grasp it very clearly.
When focusing on the character of the target person.
In a few words, Elena was like a cunning spider, weaving a complex and huge hunting web, and in the center of the spider web were the little wings she had been planning for nearly half a month.
"There is a way, but..."
Elena played with the hair by her ears, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said slowly.
"Although my idea can help your father reduce the burden, I think Mr. Lovegood's character may not allow you to do this. Moreover, you are a bit too young, and you may not be qualified for writing work.
.”
Grindelwald once said that a truly wise man would never foolishly use violence to force others - guiding others to choose their own path is the safest and correct approach.
"It's okay. If it really makes dad less tired, I can do it."
Luna Lovegood shook her head quickly, looked at Elena with silver-gray eyes and said seriously.
"Usually when my father is writing "The Quibbler," I will also help and provide advice. If it is just some basic work, I will be fine. And even if I don't know how, I can still learn, my father always said
I'm very smart."
"What if your father doesn't agree?"
"No, as long as it's something I insist on, dad will definitely agree to it in the end."
"If I really can't do anything to you, then I'll tell you the method, but you must insist that you came up with it yourself."
Elena pretended to sigh helplessly, trying hard not to suppress the raised corners of her mouth, and said softly, "Luna, think about it, if there could be one "Quibbbler" in Hogwarts...
…”
