"It's okay, no one invited me anyway, and I think you are a good candidate." An ethereal voice came from the other end of the table.
The girl sitting opposite had light blonde waist-length hair and a petite figure. At the moment, there was a faint smirk hanging from the corner of her mouth. There was a faint smile, and the silver-gray eyes were staring at the front dimly.
Pansy sat between the two of them, twisting her body a little uneasily, without saying a word, she felt that silence was the best way to deal with it now, and she felt that Malfoy must be very angry now.
Just when her finger was pointing at Hermione just now, Luna happened to stand up suddenly from one end of the long table, reaching out to grab a piece of croissant on a silver plate, her slightly forward body just blocked it Pansy pointed.
"I think in any case, she is more suitable to be my dance partner than you." Malfoy's voice reached Fleur's ears coldly, and his expression had returned to normal at that time.
"I originally thought that we could at least be ordinary friends, but even as friends, mutual respect should be the most basic bottom line. I'm sorry, Miss Delacour, I'm not interested in your Veela tricks, you Go ahead and use it on people who don't care, there are tons of other students out there trying to get you to be their dance partner, oh, and it's also possible they have no clue about Veela magic at all." Malfoy Staring at Furong, she said contemptuously and mockingly.
Hearing this, Fu Rong's body froze immediately, and the blood on her face quickly faded, and she looked like a piece of white paper in an instant.
"You will regret it." She forced out such a sentence from her mouth, and at the same time took a deep breath, trying to calm down her mood, and then immediately turned around decisively and walked towards the gate of the auditorium.
But the calm under pressure does not mean that she has truly calmed down. In a state of distraction, Fu Rong didn't even notice a bench lying in front of her, and just bumped straight into it.
Fleur tripped and fell to the ground, and the well-chosen pair of burgundy high heels made it even more difficult for her to maintain her proper balance.
She grunted in pain and frowned tightly. A male student sitting around stretched out his hand to pull her up. She avoided it in disgust, and quickly supported her body to stand up.
She left faster than before the fall, but every time she used her right leg, she showed a little limp, and it seemed that the fall was not light.
She wanted to leave this embarrassing and sad place as soon as possible, and she didn't want more people to see her gaffe.
"I'm sorry, I'm the one who didn't respect you." Some Malfoys who looked at Fleur sighed inwardly. Seeing Fleur fall because of him, he felt a strange sense of struggle and tingling in his heart. Originally, he didn't care about the choice of dance partner, no matter who it was, there was no problem, even if it was Fu Rong, the envy of other students was already enough anyway.
What does more matter
And a girl who looks pleasing to the eye actively invites herself to be her dance partner, can she find any way to refuse
Just when he was about to agree, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced at the teacher's dining table in the other corner of the auditorium. Moody's bruised face showed a malicious smile, and the curved wine bottle was being placed by him. At the corner of her mouth, her tongue was sticking out and licking continuously, the weird magic eye stopped turning at this moment, and was staring at them furtively, as if abnormally looking forward to Malfoy's acceptance of her invitation.
An extremely strong sense of foreboding rose from his heart, the malice from this man was not something easy to deal with.
Unable to figure out what kind of conspiracy this man has, just to be on the safe side, Malfoy can only decide to pretend to be annoyed by Fleur's charm magic, and then angrily reject her, but before he can "perform" a whole set of items, he starts Getting angry, Pansy dragged an innocent girl into the water.
Leaving aside the innocent girl, what he inferred did happen.
Sure enough, after rejecting Fleur, Malfoy pretended to glance in Moody's direction unintentionally, and the look of expectation on Moody's face immediately faded away, and he returned to his usual serious look, even staring at him. The surrounding students glanced at it, perhaps venting their dissatisfaction with their disappointment.
Afterwards, Luna immediately put the croissant in her hand back on the plate, walked briskly to Malfoy's seat, raised her head slightly, and asked in an ethereal voice: "Can I put Did your behavior just now mean that you were inviting me?"
"Uh... I think we can sit down and talk now." Malfoy said stiffly.
Well, here comes an even more troublesome trouble. Miss Luna, who served as the "shield" task, is now here to "excuse the teacher".
Malfoy's expression was a little embarrassed, and then he gave another girl beside him a hard look. Besides Pansy, who else could it be
Pansy's head was buried even lower, almost under the table, so that no one could see what was going on in her heart, and only she knew her current mood.
Some secretly rejoiced that the biggest enemy in her eyes was driven away in such a disheveled manner, some sympathized with that girl who looked pitiful, and at the same time regretted that she seemed to have done some superfluous things
What happened next was completely predictable, and Malfoy quickly explained a little bit what happened.
Of course, the version he wanted to direct.
"I guess no one is really willing to invite me, and it looks like that." Luna said softly, with a slightly lonely expression.
According to the admission welcome letter, she is the student who truly meets Ravenclaw's standards. What others think is crazy, but all of them coincide with Ravenclaw's true wisdom.
Perhaps such a word can be used to describe her: "wisdom as crazy"
But almost no one in this college likes her, let alone other colleges. Earlier, many students played tricks on her and stole her things, forcing her to spend the last day of the semester. Post the notice on the bulletin board for recovery. If it weren't for the basilisk incident at that time, the other students would become nervous about anything related to it and fear anything related to Malfoy. Maybe the bullying Luna will continue to suffer will not stop.
Maybe Rita Skeeter can use this to write something new "Cruel Shadows in the Sun Hogwarts School Bullying", which may still be the most meaningful thing she has done.
"If you wish, can I formally invite you now, Miss Lovegood?" Malfoy stretched out his hand to Luna at this time, "I hope to redeem some mistakes caused by this accident." Malfoy said sincerely at this time.
"Many beautiful stories happened by coincidence. For example, the location of Hogwarts was said to be on a cliff by the lake that Ms. Ravenclaw dreamed about and found by a warthog." Lu Na said in a light, chant-like tone, "I also believe that what happened today would be a beautiful coincidence, of course, I am willing." She also extended her hand and held it with Malfoy .
Malfoy only felt that his palms were cold and soft.
"Okay, now that our dance partner relationship has been established, I think we can get acquainted. Do you have time to go to Hogsmeade Village next Saturday? I think we can get acquainted with each other together. The necessary running-in is necessary. Yes, by the way, my father also hopes that you can give some advice to the magazine he edits. After he heard that your father has a relationship with the Daily Prophet, he is also very interested in you, and he whispers in my ear all day , I even suspect that he has a harassing gadfly in his ear!" To Malfoy's surprise, Luna offered her own invitation with a very excited expression.
"It's just the two of us." Luna blinked and said playfully, revealing a cunning that was completely different from the usual confusion.
At this moment, Pan Xi grasped the corner of her clothes tightly, looking at the two of them, she suddenly vaguely felt that this girl was no less threatening than Fu Rong.
-----
There are many places suitable for dating in Hogsmeade village, but the Honeydukes candy shop is too narrow, and there is no place suitable for resting. The Three Broomsticks Bar and the Pig's Head Bar are too adult, and there are mixed fish and dragons inside, and there are people from time to time In the meantime, it is quite normal for a group of old men to gather together and speak yellow accents.
After a screening, the only one that seemed to be the most romantic and met the requirements was the teahouse opened by Mrs. Puddiffe, and the place for the two of them was undoubtedly chosen here.
"First of all, I have to apologize to you. What I said that day may have made the Miss Parkinson next to you a little jealous, but I really have something to tell you, and I guarantee that you will not want her to I hear you." Sitting on the chair opposite Malfoy, Luna fiddled with her carrot earrings unconsciously, staring at the boy in front of her, her eyes were no longer dazed, showing extraordinary sobriety.
"Can you cast a secrecy spell? I know you should be able to." Luna asked softly.
"Of course." Malfoy nodded, then waved his wand and made a circle around him. The sound outside the circle disappeared immediately, as if the circle had become a world of its own.
"I want to help you," Luna said.
"Help me?" Malfoy repeated Luna's words, his eyes narrowed.
"Your heart seems to be full of shackles, full of depression and powerlessness. I guess it's the harassment horse that got into your head, but your usual behavior is normal, but very few times you will show something similar in your eyes. It’s much more serious than simply harassing Gaflies.” Luna tilted her head and looked at Malfoy, “Just like my father, as long as "The Quibbler" can’t be sold, he will become distressed, although the face He still forced a smile on my face, but I could tell the difference."
"Isn't it normal to have a lot of pressure? I think the four warriors are all under a lot of pressure. After all, we are going to face unknown challenges. You have seen the first project, which is a fire dragon. Who will not be under pressure?" Marr Fu said slowly.
"Your performance on the field is very determined, and even when several judges scored, you showed an expression of indifference." Luna mercilessly exposed Malfoy's lies.
"That's not self-confidence, that's indifference, not caring." Luna continued.
"I didn't expect you to care about me. I thought you only had a good intuition." Malfoy laughed, and could only change the subject. He looked up at the store hanging from the ceiling. Good origami crane.
"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings, and ingenuity is a very broad concept." Luna said in a singing tone. "
"It's because we don't usually talk much, but I think you can be regarded as half of my friend. Since we are friends, shouldn't we care about each other?"
"I want to help you, because you have helped me, even if you may not realize it." Luna's expression became rare serious.
Malfoy was at a loss for words, and Luna's words passed through the target in Malfoy's heart like an extremely precise bow and arrow. .
He is indeed not as relaxed as everyone seems to be. The unknown future makes him feel panic, and the future where the unknown and the known are intertwined makes him feel panic, and he has no way to vent or confide in him.
He has a penis, and after living two lifetimes, he will still have a crush on beautiful girls, but for some goals, he always has to temporarily restrain himself.
Sometimes ignorant people are really happy. They don't know what will happen in the future, and they can enjoy the leisure and stability of the present life with peace of mind.
In this year, no matter who it is, it is an extremely critical year. For him, if he fails, he will fall into the bottomless abyss, and if he succeeds, all difficulties will be solved. For his plan, it can even be said to be It's all about success and failure.
Thinking of this, Malfoy felt that his throat was a little dry. He took a sip of the lemon juice he ordered, and found that an amazing sour feeling erupted in his mouth, and the sourness and bitterness washed over his taste buds wantonly, making him unable to help but He frowned.
Seeing Malfoy's distorted and forcibly suppressed expression, Luna suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to remind you, the proprietress just stared at you for a long time with malicious intent."
Then she pushed the tea in front of her, as if she wasn't going to take a sip. .
Malfoy knew that with preconceived ideas, he might be thought of as a scumbag who cheated or changed his mind.
The last time Pan Xi was discharged from the hospital, it was here that I met her.
"Maybe this is retribution?" He thought helplessly, and slowly put the teacup back on the table.
