Harry made a sincere apology, he hesitated for a moment, took out a tissue to help Luna wipe her cheeks, and the girl did not refuse.
Today is the day before Valentine's Day, which is Luna's birthday, and Harry didn't plan a similar birthday party like last year... The reason is that Hermione rejected the proposal.
The schoolboy girl pushed Luna to Harry around noon, and then disappeared. Before disappearing, she just said that she wanted Harry to stay with her 'crazy girl'.
For this address, Harry was speechless except for being speechless.
It seemed that he didn't have to guess anymore. In the second match ten days later, Hermione's most important person would definitely not be herself.
Hermione's behavior also put Harry in an awkward situation. She said she would accompany him, but the question was how should Harry accompany him?
Is it possible to take Luna to watch birds and snakes hatching eggs, or simply skip class and take her to Madame Puddife's teahouse?
In the end, it was Luna herself who made an opinion that she could skip class to help Harry do alchemy.
In other words, this is also a decision that surprised Harry, because some of the alchemy research Harry has done recently can basically only be described as evil.
Alchemy related to blood, flesh and magic power is difficult to accept, even for Sijiao, whose office is full of corpse specimens; and Harry's teacher Nicole, has repeatedly told him to be cautious, cautious and cautious. !
But Luna's acceptance of these things was extremely high, and she even took the initiative to use a microscope to help Harry observe Nagini's blood, and assisted him in refining it with the Philosopher's Stone... and then got sprayed all over the face.
It's just that Harry's hips are stretched more now. This kind of blood requires full concentration. However, Harry has too many things to think about recently. .
"Do you want me to do the math for you to find out what's bothering you recently?" Seeing that Harry was not in good condition, Luna asked with concern.
"Uh, there's no need to..."
Harry originally wanted to refuse, but Luna had already blown on the pipe lightly, blowing out a phantom mist in front of the two of them.
"Is it a horned camel?" Seeing the creature in the fog, Luna nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that this is what makes you uneasy... You may face a forked choice."
Because the horned camel has two golden horns, it represents the number 2 in the rune, and Luna has no problem interpreting it this way.
It's just... the choice of a fork?
There is only one thing I need to choose now, but what can I fork...
"So... if we continue to explore the cause of this matter, this is... a rune snake?"
Luna seemed to want to continue to investigate further, but when a phantom of a three-headed giant snake appeared in the mist, she seemed to lose the nature of interpretation all of a sudden, and waved away the white mist.
"Rune snake, does it mean three?" Harry asked curiously at this moment.
"It doesn't mean anything. If Know-it-all came up with this result, she might rather have one of the heads bitten off." Luna responded sullenly, with an expression that looked like she was about to quarrel.
"What's wrong with this?"
Harry scratched his hair for some unknown reason, but Luna had already tidied up the alchemy table with a cleansing spell, and seemed to be about to leave.
"I think let's forget about it today, and if we continue to do it, we won't gain anything." After tidying up, Luna suddenly came to Harry and stretched out her hand to him.
"Also, what about my gift?"
"Oh, here." Harry woke up suddenly when he saw this, and hastily took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago from the ring.
It was a pair of fancy glasses shaped like a colorful owl.
"Anti-demon glasses?" Luna casually took the gift from Harry. "It's not the same style as the one made by Dad. It seems that it's not just a magazine gift."
The Quibbler magazine had also previously given away glasses of this style, a gadget made by Xenophilius, who claimed that wearing them would allow people to see the Gadfly.
But in fact, Harry thinks that it's just because the material of the lens is not good, so that everything looks like a spot of light.
Of course, Harry would definitely not fool Luna with a gift, this thing has been carefully improved by him.
"It's really anti-demon now," Harry explained with a smile, "I solidified my magic power on it, and after you wear it, you can prevent it from being disturbed by spells like Legilimency and Imperius. .Also, I added a small adhesive charm to the back of the temple, where the wand will stay more secure."
Hermione has already started to learn Occlumency, but Luna has not learned it. Of course, it's not that she can't learn it, but she simply doesn't want to learn it.
So, Harry made this pair of glasses just for her.
And she is more used to inserting the wand behind the ear, but when running and jumping, the wand is often easy to fall off, so Harry added a little extra design for her.
"That sounds good, thank you." Luna put the glasses on the bridge of her nose with great interest, and at the same time put on the wand as she was used to before, and found that the body of the wand was immediately attached to the temples.
She shook her head a little, and found that this kind of adhesion would not fall off easily due to external force, but when she took it with her hands, it seemed that she could not feel the suction at all.
"This gift is very good, but what I'm curious about now is...whether there are anti-personnel glasses." Luna raised her head suddenly, and asked Harry pointedly.
"What did you say?" Harry was puzzled.
"It's nothing... let's go." But Luna didn't want to explain in detail, she just shook her head and left the laboratory first.
"This girl..." Seeing this, Harry had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and hurried up.
It was already night, and although it was not time for bedtime, most of the students had already returned to the common room, and there was almost no one in the castle.
Harry and Luna were walking side by side in the corridor on the eighth floor. Neither of them spoke, only the sound of footsteps echoed in a chaotic rhythm, and the atmosphere seemed a little quiet.
However, when they inadvertently passed the tapestry of the troll stick hitting Silly Bonaparte, Luna suddenly stopped in her tracks...
Chapter 690 Expired Mistletoe and Hook
"Want to go in and take a look?" Sensing Luna's hesitation, Harry asked tentatively.
"That's it."
"Then let's go together."
Luna's birthday is today, and Harry will definitely agree to her request... although other days are not bad.
They walked back and forth three times side by side in the corridor in front of the tapestry, and on the originally empty wall, a small door to the Room of Requirement appeared.
Harry didn't think about what he wanted to see—at least in his opinion, he didn't actively think about it, because he felt that the purpose of this trip was to accompany Luna, and Luna should want to go to the place where the sundries were placed. room, take a look at the covered Mirror of Erised.
"You really want to come here." However, after they stepped into the Room of Response, which looked like a utility room, Luna said this suddenly.
"Huh?" Harry was taken aback, "Why did I want to come? I thought it was..."
"I didn't think about anything just now." Luna shook her head noncommittally, "So we came to this room only because you wanted to come here."
"This..." Harry couldn't help but look down, wondering when did he want to come here?
Girl, you are definitely going to beat me up~
But one thing to say, he really hasn't been here for a long time, and now standing in front of the Mirror of Erised again, Harry couldn't hold back his curiosity, and secretly glanced into the mirror.
Originally, the reflections in the mirror were the shadows of him and Luna. Soon, their figures began to change, but they were heading towards the trend of growing up.
Alas, it's a little bit off the mark...wait!
Suddenly Harry woke up, what was he regretting here?
Could it be that there is something he really wants to see?
"You have doubts in your heart, but you are still unwilling to admit it." At this moment, Luna in the mirror and Luna beside him looked at Harry at the same time, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was doing it. talk to him.
"Is there something I'm wondering about..." Harry looked at the magic mirror again hesitantly, but he froze in place all of a sudden.
Please... don't you want to be so exciting!
The Mirror of Erised at this time, the picture released is simply shocking to the pupils!
In the mirror, both he and Luna looked like they had grown up, but it was not the previous picture of aggrieved stomach ache at every turn. Instead, the two hugged each other tightly, and their movements became more and more forgetful. It is developing at an extremely fast speed towards the model of paid and visible...
At this moment, Harry took a sneak peek at Luna beside him. Fortunately, he didn't find anything unusual on her face. It seemed that he didn't see the same thing as himself.
Otherwise, he would really die on the spot today...
"It seems that you are really troubled. There are a lot of disturbing horseflies flying around you all the time. You must be careful, don't let those things get into your ears, and your brain will be controlled."
Luna pushed the anti-demon glasses on the bridge of her nose, stretched out her hands and waved vigorously over Harry's shoulders a few times, as if to help him drive away those things that would confuse his mind.
It's just that although she did it unintentionally, the stimulation it brought to Harry was completely different.
After all, in the Mirror of Erised... and Luna in front of him was so close to him, looking at Luna through the glasses, Harry even felt that the time around him seemed to freeze.
At this time, he only had Luna in his eyes, and his mind gradually went blank, his hands even wrapped around Luna's waist uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with you?" However, the girl's ethereal question brought him back to reality again.
He looked down, and at this moment Luna put her hands on his shoulders, but there was no expression of sullenness or shyness on her face, as if this was a very normal behavior.
"I...sorry~" Harry felt that his mind was not working very well for a moment, and he didn't know whether to let go or...continue?
"It's me who should say I'm sorry," Luna shook her head, took off her glasses and looked at Harry sincerely, "Your troubles are all caused by me, but I don't have a good solution to help you .”
"Actually, that's not the case anymore. It's just that I can't figure it out myself."
Harry sighed softly. At this moment, he has confirmed...or admitted, what kind of picture he really wants to see from the magic mirror.
He actually came here to seek advice, because he was frustrated by the current relationship with Luna, so he wanted to learn from his past self.
What he wants to see is not the 'future' of the past, but the 'past' of the past.
In the past, how he met Luna, knew each other, and then joined hands with Luna, hoping that experience could give him some guidance.
As a result, now...Harry can only doubt himself, is his mind really that dirty?
And I have to say that Luna is actually quite promising when she grows up, although she is a little smaller than Hermione...
In addition, the current situation of riding a tiger is difficult. If it continues to develop, I will probably feel sorry for Hermione...although I may have already felt sorry.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about it, it's fine to let things take their course." Luna looked at Harry seriously all the time, comforting softly, "And... I want to thank you, because you really protected me well, of course So is the know-it-all. I told you before, I am not curious about my past experience, because I know... I must have had a better life than then."
"Luna... uh, this is?"
Hearing the girl confiding in this way, Harry softly called out the girl's name, but then, he found a light green vine suddenly hanging down from the top of their heads.
There are still a few pure white fruits hanging on the vines, but they are obviously overripe.
"Mistletoe? But why is it in this kind of place, and it's not the right time..." Seeing the mistletoe, Harry immediately began to think wildly again.
There is indeed a tradition in the West where a girl stands under the mistletoe and others can kiss her, but the problem is that it happened at Christmas, but now it is already mid-February!
And most importantly, why is this expired mistletoe here? !
So... what should I do now?
The atmosphere had already reached this point, and his hands had been placed on Luna's waist for a long time, and he just had to pull them back.
Now there is another mistletoe, which is just the right time and place...
"I guess Jack of All Trades should stay here. There are a lot of students staying here during the Christmas holidays. They also made some decorations when they were training here." But at this moment, Luna, who was analyzing the situation, had a different expression on her face. suddenly serious.
"She really shouldn't do such a dangerous thing, there are hooks in the mistletoe!" Luna vigilantly pulled Harry out of the range of the mistletoe, "Once hooked by its tail, the five thousand The teeth will bite people at the same time, and it will be easy to die! There is mistletoe hanging on the crabapple tree in front of my house, and I will be very careful every time I pass by."
"Ah, this..." Listening to Luna giving him the knowledge of popular science in a serious manner, Harry suddenly felt that he had just missed hundreds of millions...
However, today can be regarded as a little harvest.
Before closing the curtain, Harry took another look at the Mirror of Erised.
There are still shadows of him and Luna on it, but they have returned to their youthful appearance.
They are holding hands at the moment, smiling happily at each other...
Chapter 690 Don't Mess With Hostages Wearing Glasses
"I still can't believe it, you actually failed?!"
The next day—that is, Valentine's Day, Hermione didn't stop complaining about Harry until the evening when the two Grangers were preparing to perform.
Hermione felt that Harry's action this time had failed to the extreme. My good fellow, my sister and I even quit on my own initiative. You even found out the expired mistletoe, but you actually acted this for me?
You are simply too watery, you can fly even a bird with a beak, why didn't you know that you were so innocent when you... settled for me back then?
As for Hermione's series of complaints, Harry's unified reply was... you can try it if you have the ability?
Although Luna has always stared at her two big eyes, as if she was very curious about everything, in fact, her whole body showed an appearance of seeing through everything without eating the fireworks of the world.
No matter what Harry did, it didn't seem to arouse her real curiosity, and he couldn't expect her to respond positively like a normal girl...
"Furthermore, you are my own daughter-in-law. Is it really okay to take the initiative to hook me up to make mistakes?"
In other words, Harry was speechless now, and he couldn't figure out why Hermione would willingly acquiesce in going to Luna... and even offered to help.
Besides, if it weren't for the mistletoe growing out of the knot, he might have succeeded... Of course, Harry held back this sentence and didn't dare to say it.
"Don't worry about me!" Hermione gave Harry a disgusted and arrogant look, "You just admit that you are not good enough, and you can't handle it even if I help you. It's not as good as me. On the first day the crazy girl came to our house, I But I've already slept with her~"
