Luna Lovegood

The Unicorn came ashore and walked up to William and his two companions.

The girl jumped down, and the knot in her blue dress automatically untied.

She raised her head, squinted, and asked groggily, "Are you related to the Witch of Thorns?"

William shook his head.

Hermione asked in confusion, "Who is the Witch of Thorns?"

"It's the old woman who used to live here. Her name is Olenna Red, Dumbledore called her the Witch of Thorns," William explained.

"The Witch of Thorns? Such a big name?" Anne asked doubtfully. "Is she very powerful?"

Clearly, in Anne's eyes, Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard; even he called her the Witch of Thorns, so she must be an extraordinary being.

"Well, she's a Squib," William explained.

"Where is she staying now?" Hermione asked with concern.

"After I bought the cabin, Dumbledore gave me a large sum of money and sent her to the Sunset Red Senior Community."

"I heard there's a whole bunch of old men and women like her there," William replied.

"Sunset Red Community..." Anne's eyes lit up, "I know that place!"

Professor Dumbledore wrote to me saying it was a wonderful place, full of talented people who were also very interesting... He said he would probably go there to live if he retired.

"Oh, what did you say?" William asked with interest.

Anne's intelligence on Dumbledore was far more detailed than William's, given that the two corresponded daily.

There was also a Two-Way Mirror that even William envied.

"I replied that he's an old man with no children, and if he doesn't mind, he can come to our house after he retires, and I'll take care of him!" Anne said with a beaming smile.

William patted Anne's head... He felt that compared to the talented people in the Sunset Red Community, his younger sister had a more pleasant voice.

See, no wonder Dumbledore liked Anne so much; the Christmas gifts he gave her were more expensive than William's.

William is just too bad at talking; he needs to humbly learn from Anne in this regard!

"By the way, may I ask who you are?" Hermione asked politely, looking at the blonde girl.

"Luna, Luna Lovegood," the girl said quickly.

"My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger," Hermione said quickly.

"My name is Anne, Anne Stark!" Anne looked at Luna riding her Unicorn with great interest.

Luna then turned her gaze to William, staring at him. "I know who you are, William Stark."

"I saw your picture in the newspaper. My dad said you caught a Crumple-Horned Snorkack at Hogwarts before becoming the youngest Merlin."

"What's Crumple-Horned Snorkack?" Hermione raised an eyebrow; she'd never heard of it before.

"A fictional creature," Cedric believed, adding that he even wanted to make a wand from the horn of Crumple-Horned Snorkack and give it to Cho. William laughed happily.

"It's not fiction!" Luna said earnestly. "The Crumple-Horned Snorkack is a shy, very magical creature; otherwise, how could you have become the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin— "

William shrugged and said softly, "I know, you must also be a loyal reader of * the Quibbler *."

"Yes!" Luna tucked the lotus leaf into the Unicorn Hair.

My dad is the editor-in-chief of this magazine!

"..."

Fortunately, William didn't say "the crazy Lovegood" or "this magazine is garbage, it can only fool kids like Cedric," otherwise that would have been too embarrassing.

"Exceptional wisdom is a man's greatest asset!" Luna said in an aria-like tone.

"Cedric is intelligent; he should go to Ravenclaw. What a pity."

William smiled, finding the girl quite amusing.

Of course, the Lovegood, who were able to raise such a daughter, must have been quite remarkable people.

Seeing that Hermione and Anne hadn't seen "The Quibbler," Luna recommended it to them:

"This is a well-known magazine both domestically and internationally, and it's particularly authoritative. Unlike the Daily Prophet, which is full of lies, they are Fudge's mouthpiece, trying to cover up the truth that the Muggle world has been taken over by the Reptilians."

"It's true, Queen United Kingdom II is a reptilian. My dad says she'll transform into one on her 90th birthday."

Hermione: "..."

"It's alright, Holmes will stop her," Anne comforted her. "I wrote to Baker Street last year, and they replied saying that Holmes went to study magic!"

I'll go help him after I graduate from Hogwarts.

What?! These two actually found themselves on the same wavelength.

That's unbelievable.

"Would you like to become an editor after you graduate?" Luna clearly thought Anne was more "intelligent," and she invited her.

"Cedric wrote to my father, hoping that after graduation he could become an editor at * the Quibbler *."

William almost burst out laughing.

Cedric also mentioned wanting to open a wand shop.

Obviously, the editor was fake; it was just a lie by Cedric who simply wanted to watch the Quibbler for free.

When William was a child, he would often squat in front of the old man selling cotton candy, gazing longingly at him, and solemnly tell him that he would sell cotton candy when he grew up.

The purpose... is simply to gain the other party's approval.

Look, I love cotton candy so much, how could you not give me one as encouragement?

But the old man never fell for it.

That was Cedric's idea; he just wanted to get the magazine for free, but he failed.

Lovegood, who goes to great lengths to swindle money from children, is even more skilled.

After all, all this money is going to be used to support Luna.

"Luna, are you here for a visit?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, my dad said we have new neighbors, and he asked me to bring some crepes for you to try. These are ones I made."

Luna took a basket from the Unicorn and handed it to her; it was filled with sweet and delicious crepes.

William thanked him, waved his wand, and a box of Argentas frozen by Freezing Charm flew out.

"Here you go, this is a return gift."

After Luna took it, she tied it to the Unicorn, seemingly treating it like a mule.

"Luna, where do you live?" Hermione asked again.

"There!" Luna pointed to the distant mountaintop.

It was a strange house, which looked like a giant chimney from a distance. Beside the chimney was an enormous wooden windmill, turning slowly.

"Where did you find your Unicorn?" Anne asked curiously, stroking the Unicorn's head.

"There's a family of Unicorn in the valley to the west; they've been living there for decades," Luna explained.

"Three baby Unicorn were recently born. Do you want to go see them? I haven't named them yet."

Anne looked at William, her eyes sparkling.

Hermione's eyes also lit up with hope.

Why are you looking at me?

What happened to studying?

What about the intensive training program?

William sighed. "Go ahead, be back before dinner."

"Aren't you going, William?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"I think I'll pass," William shook his head. "The Unicorn doesn't want the wizard near."

"Why?"

"My dad says that wizards have Wrackspurt in their heads, and Unicorn don't like those creatures," Luna explained earnestly.

"..."

That's going too far! Although William doesn't know what "Wrackspurt" are, anything involving maggots is definitely not a good word!

Unicorn don't like male wizards; they prefer to be around pure, innocent girls.

But this kind of personal attack is unacceptable.

You might as well just say all men are big pigs!
