Chapter 930 Old Father

At Professor McGonagall's urging, the students reluctantly left the hall.

On the way from the foyer to the common rooms of various colleges, the voices of curiosity, panic, and excitement hardly stopped for a second.

The students who had watched the entire process excitedly relayed the details of the "Devil King's Guidance War" to the young wizards who had not seen it, as excitedly as if they were the "ordinary castle administrators" fighting one against six. As for the Aurors and Umbridge Without exception, they are described as stupid and cruel.

On the other side, Elena finally reunited with the little wings standing on the other side of the crowd.

"Elena, what happened just now..."

"Well, it's not convenient to talk here. I'll tell you slowly when I get back to the dormitory."

Before "Miss One Hundred Thousand Whys" could finish speaking, Elena looked around and answered first.

Regarding Professor Quirrell, Umbridge and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, even if she doesn't say anything, the core hot topics in major newspapers and magazines in the next few days will definitely be this aspect. Rather than letting Little Wings listen, Those second-hand versions are not as good as her explaining them in detail.

As for explaining everything stupidly in the foyer?

Then wouldn’t it be possible to enjoy the luxurious bath at night? She finally got herself a top-notch bathroom, but if she didn't make good use of it, it would be a waste and not in line with the Gringotts Goblin Queen's thrifty housekeeping style.

On the other hand, the confidentiality of the Hogwarts foyer is indeed somewhat poor.

Quirinus Quilo's accident is a warning that some inconspicuous details may trigger extremely troublesome chain reactions.

There are so many ways to eavesdrop, secretly photograph, and film secretly in the magic world. There are more than twenty media on site today. She has no intention of being here until the house elves and the castle administrator clean up the castle environment. Expressing too many opinions in public.

"Wait, wait! Don't leave yet."

Xenophilius looked at his daughter who was talking with friends and about to leave the hall, and subconsciously took a step forward.

"Well, it's still early now, how about I tell you first--"

According to normal logic, Xenophilius would never stop in front of the witch - just like those ignorant and arrogant Ministry of Magic officials, wizards who ignore the Dark Lord usually will not end well - but the foot is He moved unconsciously and stood in front of the witch.

"Mr. Lovegood? I didn't expect you to come too. What a coincidence."

Elena glanced at the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" who suddenly appeared in front of her, and frowned slightly.

"The staff lounge is over in the auditorium. The joint press conference between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts should be starting soon. As for telling stories, we can probably wait until we have time later. After all, in my personal opinion, you are still the one in the magazine The agency’s journalism is important.”

"I wrote those things years ago, there's nothing to look forward to—"

Mr. Lovegood said quickly, looking past Elena from time to time to his most adorable treasure.

"Okay, Dad. I'm glad you came to see me."

Noticing her old father's gaze, Luna sighed helplessly.

"But Sister Elena is right, I can't affect your work. Besides, we still have our own responsibilities - as discipline committee members, we must first work with the prefects to guide everyone back to their respective lounges."

"Well, it will definitely be very late after that. I can give you Ravenclaw Tower by then—"

Xenophilius Lovegood opened his mouth, and his mind began to spin rapidly, as if he was returning to the lightning when he first fell in love.

"No, Dad. I can sleep in Elena and Hannah's room tonight."

Luna shook her head quickly and glared at her disgraced father angrily, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"Okay, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore. Counting last year, this is my second year at Hogwarts. You really don't have to worry about this or that all the time. You just have to work hard. I'm relieved - without me supervising you at home, you have obviously produced less manuscripts some time ago. Leave me alone and go and do your work. I also have Hermione, Hannah, and Elena here. They accompany me..."

Her eyes wandered among the girlfriends around her, her expression a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Although Elena, Hermione and others didn't say anything, Luna felt an inexplicable irritation and discomfort in her heart. She would rather see her father talk about the Snorlax with the same confidence as usual, instead of this kind of It's like coaxing and caring for an ignorant child.

"Dad, let's go -"

Luna frowned and repeated it again.

"oh oh--"

Mr. Lovegood looked at little Luna, who was starting to get angry, and then looked around.

Although he is a bit slow in the world of people, it took such a long time for him to gradually react.

Luna, who was once dependent on him, fragile and helpless, and who was the only one in the world, grew up. She began to have her own friends, her own social circle, her own responsibilities and planned arrangements - but she would This made Little Moon feel a little uncomfortable at this time.

"Well, I'm going to get you some things. You guys wait here for me for a while and don't go away."

Xenophilius Lovegood glanced at Luna, turned around without any explanation, and hurried upstairs.

Mr. Lovegood was very tall and stood out among the students at Hogwarts. The girls looked at him in bewilderment as he struggled to move forward among the people going up the stairs, saying sorry and anxious words. He hurriedly pushed forward and soon disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"Luna, did your father bring you any gift?"

Hannah turned her head and asked in confusion.

"...Probably not? Dad doesn't usually give me gifts. He is a careless adult who can't even remember his own birthday."

Luna shook her head in confusion and stood on tiptoes to look at the place where her father disappeared.

However, such things were not uncommon in the past.

Occasionally, Mr. Lovegood would think of something, and then start moving in a hurry - maybe it was a sudden inspiration, or he forgot to pay the royalties, or maybe the flowers outside the hill were blooming, or he even forgot to buy three meals. Things like food...

All in all, this scene is all too familiar to Luna, whose daily life with her father is always full of surprises.

"Forget it, let's help the prefects to persuade everyone to leave. It will probably take a while anyway..."

Luna shook her head and turned to look at the still noisy and crowded foyer.

There are not many student leaders in Hogwarts. Counting the twenty-four prefects and two student representatives from the four houses, there are only twenty-six people in total.

This is not the orderly scene after dining in the auditorium. A steady stream of students are still coming after hearing the news, and many of the students who had been watching before are still staying in the foyer or strolling around the castle - what happened was so intense. conflict, most people were quite excited at this time.

Obviously, as members of the disciplinary committee, they first had to disperse those who were still lingering in the foyer.

"Oh, that's true - as usual, I'll deal with those stubborn guys, Luna, you and Hermione are responsible for most of it..."

Hannah looked around the noisy hall, nodded seriously, and moved her arms from side to side.

"Rua——"

"Luna, block the horizon! Whirlwind——"

Hermione waved her wand lightly, and the howling cold wind rushed in from outside the oak door, driving the students in the foyer.

On the other side, Luna deftly tapped her wand in the air.

The light in the foyer dimmed quietly. Except for the several lanes leading to the common rooms of various colleges, the other corners of the foyer gradually became cold and dark, making people unconsciously want to leave those places.

After several months of practical training as members of the Disciplinary Committee, their skills and responses in this area have improved much compared to when they first started school.

Of course, Elena was not watching the show.

Following the prompts from the house elves, Elena scanned every corner of the hall in turn, patiently and friendly persuading those students who were still in the hall to go back to bed - her persuasiveness was evident after last year's Quidditch match. Suddenly he became a lot stronger.

…………

After a few minutes.

Thanks to the efforts of Elena and others, almost all the students in the hall dispersed.

Just when Hannah was about to ask Luna if she wanted to continue waiting, they saw Mr. Lovegood holding a lot of things and struggling to squeeze through the crowd going upstairs and return to the foyer - when he was going downstairs, he Extremely careful, completely different from before.

After a while, the Quibbler editor-in-chief returned to them.

Only when they got a little closer did Hannah, Hermione and others understand what Luna's father had just done.

Xenophilius Lovegood walked up to them and put the pile of things in his arms on a clean stone chair next to the corridor: three sets of black Hogwarts wizard robes, three A schoolbag and a bunch of scattered small things.

"You guys left in a hurry and left all your clothes and things in the library -"

Mr. Lovegood explained casually, while picking up a thick wizard's robe and putting it on Luna, patting it gently.

"It's very troublesome to leave things behind in the library, and you'll have to be severely punished. Moreover, the weather is cold now. If you catch a cold, it won't feel good. Can you still drink Madam Pomfrey's refreshing potion? Don't drink. Oh, by the way, because I don't know which ones belong to you, I packed up all the small things and you can dress them up yourself..."

The middle-aged wizard couldn't help but ramble on for a few more words, then stopped abruptly.

He shrugged his shoulders and patted the wrinkles on the edge of Luna's robe, feeling relieved.

A few seconds later.

"I'm leaving first. Don't miss the big news over there. If anything happens, just write to me!"

He hurriedly muttered to himself, took a few steps towards the auditorium, and turned back to look at Luna.

"You guys go back to your dormitory quickly. Don't talk too late at night. You have to go to class tomorrow - oh, of course, I know I don't need to tell you these things. I just have a little, um... remember to recommend your classmates to buy "The Quibbler" .”

Mr. Lovegood waved his hands in a funny and flustered manner and walked quickly towards the auditorium.

However, before he could take two steps, he suddenly stopped again.

"Miss Kaslana?"

Xenophilius looked at the little witch standing in front of him and asked softly in confusion.

"Well, by the way, I just suddenly remembered -"

Elena said thoughtfully, her fingers gently pressing her lips as she thought.

"Professor McGonagall said that all the teachers in the school should go to the staff room to hold a brief meeting. The chef of Hogwarts, the headmaster of Hogwarts, and the disciplinary committee of Hogwarts should reluctantly be considered as members of the school. Teacher..."

"If you don't mind, Mr. Lovegood, why don't you wait in the foyer for a moment and then we go over there together?"
