"Hello? Long time no see, Mr. Malfoy the Robber?" The girl patted the robe with bronze and blue patterns embroidered on her body at this moment, stood up slowly, and said in a smiling tone, by the way He waved at him.
She was none other than Luna Lovegood whom Malfoy had thought of just now.
"It seems that you caused the chaos outside again?" Luna asked tentatively, not caring about Malfoy's identity as a "fugitive", as if meeting an old friend and reminiscing with him.
She didn't wait for Malfoy to answer her, she walked around him again, slowly approached the door, raised her slender arm, knocked and patted on the inside of the door.
"Help me stop them, please? I have a difficult question. I want to chat with this classmate. We haven't seen each other for a long time." She said briskly to the door of Ravenclaw.
Luna didn't seem hostile to Malfoy at all, and even offered to help him in a friendly way.
It was as if he was not a robber on the run, but a classmate with whom she had a good relationship.
"My questions are always difficult!" The gentle voice who asked the question just now seemed offended, and replied angrily.
As a door, it still seems to have no ability to distinguish between "good and evil".
After ordering the door knocker, Luna turned her head, looked at Malfoy with her hazy eyes, and fiddled with the carrot earrings on her earlobe.
"Thank you, and besides... long time no see." Malfoy said softly, frowning slightly, feeling a little suspicious about Luna's actions in his heart.
"Long time no see. Did you enjoy the journey with that Miss Delacour?" The girl passed on vaguely, even though she was close at hand, it sounded like she was coming from far away.
I have to say that this is a question that looks like a deliberate joke, especially when Luna asks it in her brisk tone, as if the two of them really just went on a trip.
"It's hard to say." Malfoy replied, shaking his head.
"They all seem to be attending the funeral, don't you want to go?" He walked to a round high table, found a soft chair with blue patterned cushions and sat down, facing Luna slowly asked, changing the subject.
Since Luna has no hostility towards him, he doesn't want to deal with the situation in some unpleasant ways.
Seeing Luna's performance, she seemed to have no opinion of him at all, as if the Christmas ball had just ended.
Anyway, it's better than being hostile.
At this time, Luna was the only one in the Ravenclaw lounge.
All the rest of the students went to the memorial service and funeral in the auditorium full of sadness.
"Professor Dumbledore is not dead, why should I attend his funeral?" Luna said briskly.
Suddenly, he didn't realize what kind of impactful words he said.
Malfoy raised his eyebrows, his light gray pupils narrowed sharply, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the girl who spoke amazingly in front of him.
The girl's words made him a little nervous.
"You don't believe it? I think you should know. Of course, this is also my intuition." Luna circled around the chair, pursed her lips, and brushed her long light-blond hair with some mottled colors, He also looked at his long-lost former dance partner in front of him.
"At that time, Professor Dumbledore's pet—Phoenix Fawkes began to sing mournfully for him, but I could tell that its singing was not so mournful." Luna then said briskly.
"That shouldn't be the sound you should have when you lose your master."
"This is evidence." Luna said confidently.
"Listen, that phoenix is singing loudly now, isn't the singing not sad?"
The melodious and moving singing is now very penetrating, almost spreading to the entire Hogwarts, and passing through the layers of stone walls to Ravenclaw's lounge.
At this time, the funeral is actually over, and Phoenix Fox has left, which is the continuous echo caused by magic.
It's a pity that Malfoy couldn't hear what Luna said, there was some false emotion in Fox's singing.
No matter how you listen to it, it makes people feel inexplicably sad.
A sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart.
Because he didn't have the ability to distinguish the delicate emotional color in the singing, he was even more impressed by Luna's keen perception.
Maybe only this girl can do it.
"This doesn't convince anyone." Malfoy shook his head slightly, "at least not me."
"Of course, if I say that, everyone will think that I'm still that crazy girl, right?" Luna raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her.
"But there's one more thing." Just as Malfoy nodded slightly, Luna continued.
"The students who watched the duel in the Ministry of Magic back then still couldn't see the Thestrals."
"When we were going back to school, our group passed by the range where thestrals were kept. I saw them migrating densely with my own eyes, but they didn't respond at all." Luna said in a low voice.
"Only those who have witnessed death will see them. I don't know if those professors have witnessed death, but I am sure that I have seen it." Luna's voice was very ethereal, and there was a faint trace of it sad.
Maybe it reminded her of her mother, who had died in a magical accident.
"Professor Graplan in the Protection of Magical Creatures class originally wanted to explain the Thestral, but he skipped it because most students couldn't see it." Luna continued.
So until now, the vast majority of people still don't know that the Thestrals are responsible for pulling the carriage at Hogwarts. People who have not witnessed death still think that it is a simple magic, which provides power for the carriage. effect.
This is the luck of Dumbledore's slight omission.
If Hagrid was still teaching, he wouldn't think so much.
Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief and frowned at the same time.
"Then why didn't you tell them?" He asked immediately, this omission was beyond his expectation.
But in the final analysis, it was Dumbledore who didn't expect so many people to be present for this decision. His students and even Professor McGonagall took the lead.
Of course, there is Luna, the biggest variable.
"If the professor is willing to let us know that he is not dead, he will definitely show up. But even though so many people are sad for him now, he still hasn't shown up. He must have his own reasons."
"Crazy girls aren't stupid girls, and I think I'm pretty smart, don't I?"
Luna murmured, "When I was there, I was tricked into tears."
While rubbing the corners of his own eyes.
