Luna, Renewed

On the train to Hogwarts.

"It's already dark, Ryan, can you go out for a bit?" Luna couldn't help but feel a little proud after receiving Ryan's praise, but when she looked at the dark sky, she suddenly remembered something.

"What?" Ryan pretended not to know.

"I need to change my clothes." Luna couldn't help but punch Ryan in the chest with her little fist.

Because when she lowered her head to state her request, she caught a glimpse of Ryan's wicked smile out of the corner of her eye.

He knew perfectly well!

"Okay, okay!"

"I remember now, we're almost at Hogwarts, aren't we?" Ryan said, looking as if he had just realized something.

Luna pouted and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Ryan waved his hand and walked out of the cubicle before Luna could get any angrier.

Pushing open the door, one could see a few male witches scattered outside, presumably because there were little witches changing clothes inside.

Luna was originally raised by a father who didn't know how to take care of his daughter.

Having lost his wife Xenophilius Lovegood focused even more intently on his only daughter.

As a result, Luna hardly ever left the house as a child, and because of her loneliness, she came up with some non-existent animals as companions.

However, this also damaged Luna's reputation.

Luna's naive remarks during her occasional outings with her father earned her the nickname "Loony," a nickname Ron had also heard.

However, this may also be related to Luna's outfit.

Luna's father didn't know how to dress his daughter, and with her slightly bulging, silvery-white eyes, it was understandable that he called her Loony.

Besides, Luna herself is quite cute.

Boys her age would speak ill of her in an attempt to get her attention.

The girls rejected her because she was unkempt.

In the original timeline, she was also rejected after joining Ravenclaw.

However, most of what she talked about were Fantastic Beasts that didn't actually exist.

For those who blindly believe in books, Luna is the type of person they hate the most.

Ravenclaw has no shortage of little wizards who are devoted to books.

The way Luna was treated caused her to become somewhat neurotic, completely different from the Luna that Ryan was encountering when she first got on the bus.

However, Luna is still a bit strange now, straightforward, and lacks the warmth that no one should have.

However, Ryan managed to thaw Luna by using his charm and a well-timed approach (fabricating the Care of Magical Creatures Soundproofing Bats).

Ryan was marveling at Luna's many qualities. While deliberately adjusting his thinking speed, just as he finished, Luna gently knocked on the door behind the cubicle to remind Ryan that she had changed her clothes.

Ryan pushed open the door, and even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Without her, Luna looked completely different, thanks to her bizarre and outlandish outfit.

Although her hair was still messy and barely styled, it couldn't hide her cuteness.

However, after Ryan came in, she seemed a little down for some reason.

"What's wrong?" Ryan sat down next to Luna and took Luna small hand in concern. Luna struggled a few times symbolically, then gave up.

"You must be an upperclassman."

"My dad said that only first-year wizards go by boat to Hogwarts," Luna said dejectedly.

"Can't we reunite at Hogwarts?"

"We are friends, and friends don't grow apart because of a short separation."

"Besides, my magic is so amazing, can't I stay by your side forever?" Ryan couldn't help but laugh as he began to comb Luna's hair.

With a better image, Luna would probably be less likely to be ostracized by the Ravenclaw students.

Luna couldn't help but smile for the first time after hearing what Ryan said.

She did not resist when Ryan played with her hair.

Her intuition didn't detect any ill will from Ryan.

On the contrary, all of this warmed her heart, which was a very strange feeling.

Being with my dad is somewhat similar, but also different.

Next, from Luna's perspective, Ryan held her hand the whole time as they rode in a small boat, through a tunnel, and up stone steps, where Professor McGonagall arranged for them to wait in a small hut until they were sorted into their respective houses.

"Luna! Is that you?" After Professor McGonagall left, Ginny waved enthusiastically to Luna.

She couldn't help but look Luna up and down several times, unable to believe that the beautiful little witch in front of her was Luna.

Luna couldn't help but nod to Ginny, standing in front of Ryan who was out of sight of others.

"Luna, do you know that Harry Potter stayed at our house a while ago... Later, he, Ron, and that Malfoy went to the Black House ... And what's even worse, do you know... After we met at King's Cross Station, Ron talked to us for a bit, and then when it was time to board the train, he disappeared with Harry ..." Ginny was especially lively in front of her friends.

He didn't act timidly like he did in front of Ron or Harry at all.

Luna stood in front of Ryan the whole time, and for some reason, she didn't want Ryan to meet Ginny. Ryan didn't say anything.

Let's return to Hermione's perspective, back when Luna hadn't yet gotten off the train.

Being with Hermione is undoubtedly very lively.

Because Hermione's cubicle was occupied by the little witches from their dormitory, as well as Padma's twin sister Parvati.

One girl is quiet, but a group of girls is something else entirely.

They talked about all sorts of gossip and the fun things that happened during summer vacation.

The one mentioned most often is Gilderoy Lockhart.

Lisa Turpin said indignantly, "I think Gilderoy was punished too harshly! He only borrowed someone else's story and used a few spells, why did he have to stay in Azkaban for so long!"

Padma couldn't help but chime in, "I'm not saying he's innocent; I also think Gilderoy needs to be punished."

"But this is too heavy!" Parvati and her sister said in unison.

Although Hermione wanted to argue, she had already grasped the concept of emotional intelligence, given that her timeline was different from the original one.

So she could only agree with him and pat Ryan's hand from time to time to comfort him.

Ryan looked annoyed, though he knew one thing: as long as he stopped hiding his presence, all the chattering little witches would forget who Gilderoy Lockhart was.

But this also means that he will become the central figure in this compartment, and will never have peace.

Fortunately, their conversation quickly returned to the mysterious Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor.

"Oh dear, I'm so confused."

"I both hope that handsome young professor and Dumbledore are a couple, and I also hope that what Rita Skeeter said is just a rumor, so that maybe I'll have a chance too," Lisa Turpin said, stroking the handsome face of Voldemort in the youthful version of the Daily Prophet.

The other little witches nodded in agreement.

They started discussing other pairings—Dracos vs. Hare, Rojas vs. Hare, Rona, etc.

Indeed, most women have the potential to be fans of yaoi (boys' love).
