In their cubicle at Hogwarts, Luna and Ryan stared at each other for who knows how long, until Luna couldn't help but pull out a copy of "The Quibbler" and hold it high to cover her face.

The train had already started moving. Luna's little ears twitched a few times. She lowered the magazine slightly, revealing only her light-colored eyes, and looked at Ryan through them. "Why can't I hear anything?"

"Hmm, let me think, maybe it's Soundproofing Bats." Ryan's lips curled slightly as he spoke softly.

"What is Soundproofing Bats?" Luna was clearly very interested. She even put down her copy of "The Quibbler," rested her elbows on the table, and leaned her face toward Ryan, wanting to hear more clearly.

However, this brought them very close together, and Ryan could even feel the warm breeze emanating from Luna's voice on her face.

Hmm, it seems Luna really likes tomatoes.

"Soundproofing Bats ... They are like ghosts, and invisible at the same time. They like to be near wizards, but they hate too many wizards." Ryan moved closer to Luna instead of backing down, Luna subconsciously took a step back, her eyes widening even more. "So, they will approach wizards who are too immersed in their own world and are all alone, like the two of us... Then, it will become very quiet around us because they have blocked out all the sounds from the outside world."

"I really like them; they help me concentrate on my reading. But there's a downside too. That explains why sometimes when I'm reading, I don't hear my dad calling me for dinner." Luna nodded seriously, indicating that she had learned something.

But the next second, she said, "Then they definitely won't eat the Nargles... They're invisible, they'll float into your ears and mess up your brain... I just felt my brain was messed up, there must be a few here, I'm still very confused."

Luna looked at Ryan while earnestly explaining the setting of the Nargles.

"I think—your disorder might not be because of Nargles," Ryan said, drawing out his words.

"Yeah, you're the Nargles." Luna held up the magazine again, covering herself, and whispered.

"What?" Ryan pretended not to hear.

"I—I mean, aren't you my friend? Why didn't you ask my name?" Luna's voice was no longer ethereal; she stammered.

It's obvious they're trying to change the subject.

"I don't think it's a gentleman's job to ask a cute girl her name," Ryan said with a slight smile.

Luna didn't speak, but her white fingertips, from gripping the magazine so tightly, revealed that she was not at peace.

"My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood," Luna said in a voice barely above a whisper.

"Okay, I understand. My new friend's name is Luna," Ryan said.

However, this made Luna even more embarrassed. She now knew that Ryan must have heard what she said earlier.

Because when she said her name, she was much smaller than before.

After another ten minutes or so of silence, a gurgling sound broke the peace.

It's Luna.

She looked at the door of the cubicle with a puzzled expression. Her father had clearly said that there would be ladies selling food passing by outside.

Her father never told a lie, except for that one sentence—"Mom will come back."

Luna blinked.

"I think my new friend won't refuse the food I offer." Ryan drew his wand and flicked his wrist in the air—the next second, a dazzling array of food appeared on the table.

The aroma of tomatoes and meat filled the entire room.

"I think you'll like it." Ryan gestured for him to come and eat.

Before Luna could make a move, Jerry ran to the small bowl on the ground—it was filled with very tender stewed beef.

This is Jerry's favorite food. As a magical creation of Ryan, it doesn't need to excrete waste like Ryan, but it still loves to eat.

"Jerry ate it all, why are you?" Ryan invited again.

Luna then began to eat in small bites, but her mouth remained bulging, like a little squirrel with its cheeks stuffed full.

After the meal, the sky outside the window turned slightly dusky. The table was clean and tidy again. No one would have guessed that someone had spilled soup all over the table because they weren't used to using chopsticks, and Ryan had to feed them.

Luna is now hiding behind the magazine again, pretending to be looking at something.

"Luna, what are you looking at?" Ryan pretended to be an ordinary person, not noticing Luna's round face turning red through the magazine.

"I'm looking at this—I'm looking at this!" Luna pointed casually to a page in the magazine:

The mysterious Elder Wand reappears – Malfoy's dominance returns!

The Malfoy family are now perceived by wizards as nothing more than opportunistic villains, a thoroughly Death Eaters family.

However, let's not forget that under Malfoy nameless Septimius Malfoy, the Ministry of Magic was once ruled by his puppet, Onchis Osbert.

Therefore, the Malfoy family has both the strength and the ambition to regain control of the Ministry of Magic.

The Elder Wand, on the other hand, is the Tale of the Three Brothers in the well-known Britain wizarding world's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" that is the only one that has been proven to exist in the world.

The person who possesses it will be able to wield the most powerful authority and influence in the world.

As our title suggests, according to Diagon Alley late at night, "It was very late that day, and it was very dark, but I think I will never forget that scene until I die... It was Lucius Malfoy!... He was grinning evilly in the moonlight, his Elder Wand, which shone with the green light of death, was tightly gripped in his hand... Luckily, I immediately fell to the ground... It was very dark, so I was spared."

What kind of magic wand can emit green light all over itself?

What kind of wand is made of Elder Wood?

What kind of magic wand could make the usually stern Lucius Malfoy laugh so heartily?

We dared not speculate wildly, and being meticulous, we even inquired with all the wandmakers in Europe by letter.

They all gave the same answer: they did not create the magic wand that the unknown person described.

They can't do it either!

We couldn't believe it, so we went to ask Ollivander, the world's greatest rod maker.

He also admitted that if the wand was really as the unknown person said, he couldn't do it either!

Then there's only one possibility!

Lucius Malfoy has obtained the legendary, most powerful wand!...

"Well written," Ryan commented.

"My dad is the editor of this magazine." Luna's tone suddenly became lighter.

"I think it's very likely true... The Malfoy family showed this tendency even before they got the Elder Wand ... Draco Malfoy, for example, became friends with Harry Potter and their family's nemesis Ron Weasley through some unknown means... Even Sirius, a Death Eaters, was acquitted..." Luna said earnestly.
