A War Without Gunfire

Ryan is only now realizing something profound.

That means treating your girlfriend equally.

Hermione's affair with Crookshanks quickly reached the ears of her aunts.

First up is Luna.

She is the only person besides Hermione who can openly be with Ryan (among those who know Ryan, Harry and the others).

Then there's Kate, who's the best informed.

Penelope and Phoebe naturally found out as well.

If Nagini hadn't been so clueless and unassuming, Ryan would probably be even more frustrated right now.

Luna doesn't talk to Ryan much anymore. When Ryan gets close, she'll only let him hold her hand at most.

Kate and Penelope directly refused any indescribable acts with Ryan.

Phoebe didn't do that. But aside from the indescribable things she did, she almost never smiled at him.

This completely blocked Ryan's path to advancement.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Luna and Hermione were aware of Ryan's public presence.

It seems that Kate and Penelope had been subtly dissatisfied for some time.

Although it was initially their own request, "Ryan, don't greet us at school, you're too young, we feel bad."

However, they are unreasonable.

As for Phoebe, she's probably just following the crowd and causing trouble, so it's not a big problem.

But Luna is a bit strange.

She clearly knew Hermione all along.

With her keen intuition, she even noticed Penelope and the others.

With the Four-way Tournament fast approaching, Ryan was still sullen on Sunday morning.

He didn't even bother to ask why Harry and Ron were going to Hagrid so early.

This is all because Luna is still throwing a tantrum.

Ryan had already taken care of the others.

During this time, she simply flitted between the four people, excluding Hermione and Nagini, like a bee flitting among flowers.

They seem to have forgotten that they can split themselves into multiple entities and operate in a multi-threaded manner.

But this was Ryan's doing.

After he deliberately acted as if he was very tired.

The first to smile were Phoebe and Penelope.

Phoebe is because her relationship with Ryan was developed in betrayal of Penelope.

With Gabrielle's help, she said, "Brother looks like he has dark circles under his eyes. Sister, please forgive him."

"You're only making me feel sorry for my brother."

Penelope, on the other hand, is only popular because of Crookshanks's terrible looks.

After this ugly, artistically beautiful cat was shown to Penelope, she felt that it wasn't a gift from Ryan.

On the contrary, it seems more like revenge.

And Kate, this girl whose heart is as small as her breasts.

She only forgave Ryan after Ryan added another piece of information about the mystery—that the witch did not belong to Ravenclaw House.

However, this also made Ryan realize that the mystery was not something she and Penelope were taking lightly.

However, there were some reasons he was unaware of that led to their inaction in front of him.

Luna simply nodded slightly at these comments.

Then there was no further reaction.

In the morning, Luna sat in a high-backed chair in the corner, leaning against a small square table, looking at the freshly printed "The Quibbler".

Ryan moved closer, put his arm around Luna, and sat down with her on a chair.

However, Luna ignored him.

Even when Ryan pressed his face against Luna's small face, Luna still didn't react.

The light-colored eyebrows remained motionless.

"My mother often says that the things we lose will come back on their own, just not in the way we expect."

She speaks as if reciting a poem about the world, or as if chanting.

The ethereal and otherworldly tone of her voice captivated Ryan.

Even if Luna wore the red stockings he hated most today, he didn't care at all.

But he forgot that Luna hadn't forgiven him yet.

Just like how Luna deliberately wore red stockings that Ryan didn't like.

What I just said was merely a reflection on the article.

So when Ryan couldn't resist attacking her face again, Luna still didn't react.

I was just looking at the words on the newspaper.

At most, just as Ryan is about to stick out his tongue, you should use your hand to slightly block it.

Ryan then realized that Luna hadn't been talking to him.

He glanced at the newspaper in Luna's hand, at the spot where Luna's gaze had been when she spoke.

Lady Gwen, a witch from Yorkshire, unexpectedly discovers that her long-dead husband Peter is still alive.

He married a Muggle woman named Mary Jane and had three children.

Ryan was speechless.

Was all that beautiful voice and poetic words just now meant for this?

A somewhat bizarre new story about a wife discovering her husband's infidelity.

"Alright, I surrender! Little Luna, just tell me what you want." Ryan looked at Luna helplessly and added, "Don't pretend to ignore me."

Or I'll lick your hands raw.

The sound of turning the pages of the newspaper stopped.

Luna blinked and turned her head to the side.

He held it close to Ryan's ear, "I want a pet too. As cute as Crookshanks."

That's it?

Ryan temporarily ignored Luna's terrible taste.

After all, she didn't have that thing in the first place.

Otherwise, in the original timeline, why would she dress up as such a lovely beauty as someone who immediately evokes the image of Loony?

Give everyone else a pet.

Actually, Ryan had planned to do this a long time ago.

But before Luna could speak.

Penelope refused.

She said she already has an owl.

She is very loyal, unlike some others.

There are three pets – Jerry, Hamster Wheel PhD, Nagini.

Kate, however, was moved but refused.

She said she was still a child.

I don't want to take care of any pets other than Ryan.

That bastard!

Phoebe hugged Gabrielle and shook her head.

This indicates that Gabrielle is already annoyed with her enough.

We don't need pets or anything like that.

So, the last one Luna.

Ryan simply abandoned the plan.

So, if Luna had been asked the first time...

Luna and he have already made up?

And so, Melina, the mascot of the Magical Menagerie, saw Ryan again.

This time, however, the person he was supposed to be his girlfriend was another cute little white fluffy creature.

Just as Melina was about to angrily denounce the scumbag man.

With Ryan's awkward cough, Melina's eyes momentarily lost focus before returning to normal.

However, what she said changed to, "Welcome to the Magical Menagerie. We have the most diverse selection of pets that no other pet store has. Each one has its own unique abilities."

She quickly noticed Luna's gaze. "Look, these are the Kneazle we just got two days ago."

Look at those charming spots on its fur, its big ears, and its lion-like tail—isn't it absolutely captivating!

We also have a partnership with the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control.

We are qualified to issue licenses to buyers.

"You just need to take it; we'll handle the rest."

Luna turned her head. "Ryan, I want it."

To Ryan, it sounded as, "Ryan, I want a better pet Hermione."

Doesn't Crookshanks have Kneazle blood?

I'll have a purebred one!
