Chapter 975 ? Colin Crossing?

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

Quietly tonight...

The moon in the sky was very round and bright, and the bright moonlight slanted down from the corridor, illuminating the side of the Hogwarts castle that received light like daytime, and even the candles and bonfires in the corridors seemed a little dim point.

As in the past, there were almost no students walking and frolicking in the corridors, and even if one or two were occasionally seen, they came and went in a hurry.

This is very natural at this time, because since the second project of the Triwizard Tournament, the entertainment activities of the students have mainly been concentrated in the school hall, except for a very small number of students who need to go to the library or in their respective colleges. Except for the students who are catching up with homework in the common room, most of the students have already gone to the auditorium during the time when it is not suitable to go out after dinner and before going to bed, and very few of them are stranded. Outside the corridor of the castle.

However……

Little Annie unexpectedly didn't go to the auditorium today, because ah, she has watched the scene of three guys using magic to beat undead at Colin Crossing for several days, and they beat zombies every day. It's nothing special to use magic spells to fight the clumsy zombies controlled by the Witch Meow King!

Therefore, she felt that there would be no change for the time being, and she felt that it would not be dangerous for the three guys to follow an increasing group of Lordaeron soldiers and paladins to sweep around Colin Crossing, so she naturally did not join in. Into that messy auditorium.

"Hmm..."

????(????｀??)??????

Little Annie was very happy today, bouncing around the corridors of Hogwarts Castle...

In fact, for this carefree little girl who basically has nothing to bother her except eating, drinking and having fun, almost every day is very comfortable, and if she is unhappy one day , that would be miserable!

Because, for such a powerful bear child like her, once someone intentionally provokes her and makes her unhappy, she will always use her unhappy body according to her "law of conservation of happiness". The 'emotions' are transferred to others, and then a share of 'happiness' is exchanged for those who dare to provoke her.

For example:

Today when she went to fish in the lake, she ran into Peeves who she threw into the lake many days ago. He was still tied to the gun barrel and stuck obliquely in the mud at the bottom of the lake, with water plants growing all over his body. She scolded Lao Huan after that! So, seeing that the other party was still in good spirits and didn't look depressed at all, she kindly didn't put that nasty little ghost up, so that it could continue to fight with those horned tentacles in the lake. Monster, to play with those Grindylows who hang around it every day?

"Whoa oh oh..."

(????▽｀)????

Annie likes the castle looking empty now, because it means that no one will disturb her when she is happy.

but……

In fact, she still didn't like the slightly dim Hogwarts castle and the damp corridors.

Because, some stubborn and stubborn wizards who don't know how to adapt, why are they unwilling to install a few wires and brighter lights in this castle? And life and death have to light those kerosene torches, bonfires and candles that are expensive and easy to smell, and there are safety hazards, which make the whole castle smoky, and the body is full of those smells along the way Oh, that kind of annoying thing is really unreasonable!

Maybe, it's like a bad bear in her family said:

If you don't light more bonfires and candles, and don't consume more materials, how can some evil school seniors earn more Galleons from the "fire consumption"? After all, this castle is so big, it must consume a lot of materials such as kerosene candles for lighting the fire every day, right? then,

Material suppliers, purchasers, cashiers, and even Mr. Principal and other related professors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, etc., can all benefit from it?

So, a vicious chain of corrupt interests was created like this?

However, little Anne would definitely not ask about that kind of thing. She just complained in her heart because the corridor was too dark, so why did those stubborn old guys insist on lighting the lights? I don't want to take care of it! Besides, she has more Galleons than all of them, so she won't be rare for those!

"Eh?"

∑(??△｀)? !

Little Annie, who had just turned a corner of the castle corridor, stopped suddenly.

Then, she thought for a while, blinked her big blue eyes again, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally stepped back on tiptoe and slowly backed up two steps without turning around, just like that from the The corner was 'upside down' and backed out.

Because, what she saw, on the railing of the castle corridor she just passed by, there seemed to be a girl with waist-length hair lying quietly on the railing over there, hiding behind the stone pillar. Next to him, looking up at the sky quietly?

If Annie hadn't subconsciously glanced out of the corner of her eye just now when she was turning a corner, maybe she almost missed the other party?

"..."

|??˙??˙)?

First, she observed secretly, and after staring at the other person's back for a while, she became curious, and at the same time felt a little itchy. Little Annie, who really wanted to know what the other person was looking at, finally couldn't help it.

So, she turned around directly and quickly jumped towards the opponent's position.

"Hi~!"

-=????????=??????????????(??)????????

"Student, who are you, and what are you looking at here?!"

??(????????)??

First, she greeted the other party loudly, as if to scare people. After asking the other party, before waiting for the other party's answer, little Annie impatiently moved to the other party's side, imitating the other party's appearance, and walked from the side of the pillar. He poked his head out of the railing, and began to glance around at the sky outside.

Unfortunately, she watched and watched, but she still didn't seem to find anything interesting, or something worth watching for a long time.

"Why!!"

"So, so it's Professor Annie?"

Someone yelled behind her, and the blond girl who was shocked immediately turned her head. When she found that the person was a little girl, and looked closely, she found that the person was not someone After she pranked the first-grade girl, it was the funny little professor at the school, and the third-grade Luna hurriedly introduced herself politely:

"Hi, hello, Professor Anne."

"My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood, I'm a third-year student in Ravenclaw now, it's a pleasure to meet you here..."

Obviously, Luna's tone in the third grade sounded a bit cramped, as if she was a little surprised and a little uneasy when facing this little professor who almost never talked to her?

So, after she finished speaking, she directly took back the hand that was holding on to the railing, not daring to stay here quietly like before, and silently looked at the place that belonged to her outside. A beautiful moonlight for one person.

"you're good too!"

o(??????????)o??

"But student Luna, you haven't answered me yet. What are you watching here? Why don't you go to the auditorium to watch a 'movie' with others?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?

Looking outside, little Annie, who still couldn't find anything interesting in the sky outside, shrank back from the guardrail again, and asked a little unhappy.

"I……"

"I'm actually looking at the moon here, because the moonlight is beautiful tonight... Of course, there are those beautiful black flying horses, but they have already flown away long before you passed by here..."

"As for the auditorium..."

"I don't like going to the auditorium very much, because some students don't seem to like me very much, so I don't go there too often..."

Yes, Luna herself may prefer to read the content and photos she likes from newspapers or the school magazine of the Triwizard Tournament, rather than going to the auditorium to watch it live.

Because, she is Ravenclaw's famous crazy girl Lovegood, and crazy girls are notoriously out of gregarious, don't like to join in the fun, don't like to cheer with others in the auditorium, and at the same time Someone who will always be teased, alienated and misunderstood by others!

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for her to hide here and watch the moon alone.

"!!"

(???????????)

"So, you are looking at that kind of black and thin Thestral?"

(lll￢ω￢)

Little Annie, who thought the other party was looking at something beautiful or interesting, after hearing that the other party was actually watching the moon and thestrals just now, her enthusiasm suddenly languished, and she had no desire to continue watching in an instant. interest.

Because of the moon or something, she usually only went to see it when she missed Amoline's mother, but after knowing that some guys never took the initiative to think about her, she didn't go there much anymore. Miss each other!

o(｀^??)o hum!

In short, she is very busy with Professor Anne, Head of State Anne and Queen Anne, so she won't think about some bad mother!

"!!"

"Excuse me……"

"Ann, Professor Anne, can you really see thestrals? You know they exist, don't you think I'm a crazy girl?"

However, unexpectedly, the crazy girl Luna Lovegood suddenly exclaimed in surprise at the little professor beside her.

To be honest, she was actually prepared just now, thinking that the other party would think that her head was abnormal, that her head was not clear, that she was a crazy girl, and cast strange and mocking glances at her like other students. of it.

"Isn't it just a Thestral? It's the kind of skinny guy with no flesh in his body, and he looks so dark, what's so great about it?!"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

Professor Anne said that she had seen that kind of animal with a tall and scrawny body, a black body, a dragon head and a horse body, a pair of broad wings on its back, and the ability to fly at high speed in the air when it came to Hogwarts two years ago, but She didn't pay too much attention to the kind of magical animal that had no meat at first sight and had been excluded from her diet long ago.

"Can you really see them?"

"But, why can you see them? I told many of my classmates about them, but they all said they didn't see them, and they said I was crazy, that my head was abnormal..."

As she spoke, Luna's voice gradually dropped.

Thinking of how I was rarely accepted by my classmates at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft in the past two years, and then I was gradually labeled as crazy girl Lovegood, crazy girl, abnormal head, lunatic, etc. The title, thinking about it, even if she is as strong and quiet as Luna Lovegood, she can't help but lower her eyelids in frustration.

However, she soon cheered up!

Because, according to her father, Xenophilius Lovegood, the most powerful person in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even in the entire wizarding world, is probably this Professor Anne in front of her! And it is very possible that even the Dark Lord is not as powerful as the other side? And now, she, Luna, has actually gained the approval of the other party, which excites her more than anything else.

"This..."

(???????????????)

"That's because thestrals are quite special. The appearance of that magical animal has a special kind of energy fluctuation, which will cause them to be 'invisible'. Only those who have witnessed death with their own eyes, and are killed by humanoid creatures at close range Only people who have been disturbed or washed away by the energy of the 'soul' can see it, so ordinary people must not be able to see them!"

o(*^▽^*)o~??

This kind of question must not trouble her, Professor Anne, so without thinking much, she directly explained to Xiaode the reason why ordinary students can't see thestrals according to her own thoughts and inferences. Fan.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Nodding, clever and well-behaved, and as a Ravenclaw student, Luna quickly expressed understanding and understanding of this.

"But, Professor Anne, have you ever seen death?"

"Ah! I'm sorry Professor, I forgot something, I remember, you were in Gringotts..."

Just when she asked, Luna quickly covered her mouth and apologized.

Because she also suddenly remembered that the other party had made a big fuss at Gringotts two years ago, not only burning to death the adult Ukrainian iron belly in Gringotts, but also reportedly burning to death a lot of goblins?

Although no one told Luna how many greedy goblins were burned to death by the professor Anne in front of her at that time, one thing is certain: some goblins must have been burned to death, otherwise, the other party would not Maybe, like her, she can see those beautiful and beautiful Thestrals.

"It's not about Gringotts!!"

o(??^｀)o

Little Annie said that she has been to many worlds, and there are many villains who burned, killed, played to death or accidentally "stomped to death", and the reason why she can see thestrals is really irrelevant. Something about some goblins in Gringotts back then!

Besides, even if she has never seen 'death' or burned a goblin to death, those thestrals are not mysterious in her eyes, she has a lot of ways to make them easy for others to see.

"That……"

"Professor Annie, do you know that there are bubble snot monsters and horned snorers in this world?"

It was rare for Luna to gain the approval of others, and she began to excitedly ask the little professor who ran over and took the initiative to talk to her, because she felt that she seemed to have some common topics with him?

"Bubble snot and horned snore?"

ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

"Where is that strange thing?!"

(,??▽??,)

Little Anne definitely wouldn't care about the kind of food that you know you must not eat just by hearing the name, especially the 'snot monster', but that doesn't prevent her from talking to the person in front of her when she's bored. Interesting young lady to talk a little more.

"It is said that there is one in Sweden!"

"They've always lived there, and my dad has always wanted to take me on vacation to Sweden to catch them, but the Quibbler has been so busy lately that he hasn't had time to take me there..."

Speaking of this, Luna sighed sadly. She knew that her father's magazine sales may not be very good recently. Although her father said that everything was fine, she knew that it was not as easy as he said. up.

"In Sweden, it's too far away, let's forget it, then don't catch them..."

(灬??ω??灬)

If it was near Hogwarts, she might still grab it to play with, but if it was in the northern part of Europe, then forget it, she would not make a special trip for such weird things.

"Why!"

"It would be nice to have a chance to meet Mr. Newt Scamander, he must know how to find and catch them, and then people won't say that Dad's "The Quibbler" is made up .”

Luna sighed. She has always been very worried about the students' reluctance to believe in "The Quibbler" and the denial of the existence of the Bubble Snot Monster and the Curved Snork, but she has no choice but to There is no such thing as a great solution.

After all, without any real evidence, she definitely couldn't ask others to believe her.

"Newt Scamander? And who is that?"

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)?

"Professor Anne, don't you know?"

Unexpectedly, Luna couldn't help being a little surprised that the little girl professor in front of her didn't know any famous person.

"Who is he, is he famous? Besides, why do people need to know him?!"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

Little Annie said that what she cares most about is delicious and fun things and things. As for someone or something, she will definitely not put it in her heart.

"!!"

"Mr. Newt Scamander is the most famous expert in Magizoology in the UK and the author of the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" for our Hogwarts first-year students. He was awarded the Order of Merlin in 1979. The title of a second-level magician, it is said that he was also the first wizard to successfully capture Gellert Grindelwald!"

As she talked, Luna couldn't help fantasizing about it, hoping that one day she would be able to visit that being who is very proficient in magical animals, and wanted to ask about the Bubble-Snot Monster and the Curved-Horned Snork, as well as what happened in "The Quibbler" Do the magical creatures that have been reported really exist?

But unfortunately, she only knows that Newt Scamander has retired and is living with his wife in Dorset, but she doesn't know where in Dorset, after all, like The residence of such a legendary figure would definitely not be easily found by ordinary people.

However, she believes that she will definitely have the opportunity to visit that gentleman, definitely! !

"..."

(??⊙??⊙`)

"Who is Gellert Grindelwald?"

(??-??*)

Not to mention, this classmate Luna, she, Professor Anne, doesn't seem to know any of the personal names and deeds that the other party just mentioned, and it seems that she hasn't even heard of it?

Of course, it is very likely that she has heard of it before, but because the importance of the other party is too low, she may have directly forgotten or left it behind.

"ah?"

"Gellert Grindelwald is the most dangerous dark wizard in the world. He was the first Dark Lord who was defeated during the World War. His picture was printed on the chocolate frog card, and he is one of the most famous characters. , Professor Anne, you don't even know him?"

Luna expressed that she was really surprised that Professor Anne in front of her didn't know about the Dark Lord of the previous generation, because, just as the entire wizarding world knew about the Dark Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the previous era was almost a household name. of.

"Fortunately, he is now imprisoned in Nurmengard's prison, and it is said that Headmaster Dumbledore defeated him..."

Luna has heard about it. Her father, Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood, once told her that Dumbledore is said to have a relationship with the Dark Lord of the previous era and that Gellert Grindelwald close? However, she did not dare to publicize this kind of thing casually, especially when it was related to Principal Dumbledore.

"oh……"

(lll￢ω￢)

However, little Annie didn't listen, because, whether it was the Dark Lord Gellert or the White Lord Dumbledore, she definitely didn't want to care about that kind of thing, because what she cared about was other more important things .

"Let's talk about that Newt Scamander you mentioned just now, do you know him?"

(????ω????)

"Yes, Professor Annie, what do you want from him?"

Luna definitely knew the legendary magizoologist, but it was not certain that the other party didn't know her.

"Of course it's about the techniques of catching magical animals..."

(????????????)σ??

"Professor, do you like Fantastic Beasts too?"

Suddenly, Luna slowly became a little excited, because she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be able to write this conversation with Professor Anne into a manuscript, and then send it back to her father, so that he could write it in "The Quibbler" If it is published on ", it will definitely get a lot of attention, right?

"Of course I like it!"

????(??????????????)

But Annie won't tell this classmate Luna in front of her that what she likes are magical magical animals that can be eaten... Of course, she also likes raising them, because some magical animals can only be eaten when they are fattened.

"Really? I think..."

"!!"

"Ah! It's Professor Moody, you, hello..."

Originally, Luna wanted to continue chatting happily with this Professor Anne, but soon, when she found a familiar figure staggering towards her, she stopped quickly and hurried towards the person who made her A somewhat frightened Mad-Eye Professor Moody said hello.

'Well? '

‘Student, it’s so late, you’re almost going to bed, what are you doing here? '

Mad-Eye Moody, who was missing a leg and replaced it with a wooden prosthetic leg, stopped with his crutches and used his real eye and another big, round, A bright blue false eye kept looking at the little girl Luna, and reprimanded him bluntly.

"Why?"

"Is it that late? I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time just now...Professor Moody, and Professor Anne, then I have to go back to the Ravenclaw lounge..."

Seeing the fierce Professor Moody staring at her and reprimanding her, Luna, who didn't dare to wait for a moment, hurriedly begged the two professors for forgiveness, then hugged her own things, and hurriedly left the place illuminated by the moonlight. The extremely bright castle corridor disappeared at the end of the corridor not long after.

"..."

(??╭╮??)

Seeing that it was the annoying 'Professor Moody' who was bothering her, and seeing that the young lady named Luna had left in a hurry, little Annie had no choice but to put on a straight face, carrying her little bear and turning around directly, intending to leave as well. This suddenly boring corridor, back to my room at the top of the castle.

'etc! Professor Annie? '

However, she had just jumped a few steps, and before she had time to go far, she was stopped by that nosy 'Professor Moody' just now.

"??"

∑(??△｀)? !

"what are you up to?"

ヾ(??????｀??)ノ

For the bad guy who is not familiar with her and she doesn't like it at all, little Anne must not have much patience, but, since the other party is specially kept by that strange old man Dumbledore, so she thinks After thinking about it, he finally managed to hold back the urge to beat someone up.

"Is such that……"

"Professor Annie, I want to ask, when will our warriors, Miss Granger and Mr. Potter, come back?"

After struggling for a while, Mad-Eye Moody suddenly picked up his small hip flask, and after taking a sip of the weird-smelling liquid in it, he asked this question pretending to be indifferent.

"Um……"

"Maybe before the start of the third project? Anyway, it's still early, and there should be enough time."

(??????-)☆

"What's the matter? Professor Moody, is there a problem with that?"

(??ˊ????????)???????

There are still more than three months before the start of the third project, which is the evening of June 24th, so Annie feels that it must be in time!

However, what makes Annie a little confused is that this 'Professor Moody' is just a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, not the principal, nor the judges, nor the organizer and supervisor of the Triwizard Tournament. Concerned and eager to ask myself what to do with this kind of thing, just continue to go to the auditorium to watch a movie soon?

And if the other party really wants to see that Potter so much, it's not impossible, because he can go and pray to their Merlin, so that Harry wearing glasses can 'die' out of it sooner?

"No no no! No problem, I'm just asking..."

Mad-Eye waved his hands pretending to be calm, but the subtle expression on his face and the roving fake eyes gave him away.

"Professor Anne, if it's okay, I'll go to another place to patrol. It's my turn to patrol today. Dumbledore asked me to pay attention to those little brats who sneak out at night without sleeping..."

After humming and explaining a few words casually, Professor Moody, who lost one leg, continued to support his crutches, and walked in a different direction to the corridor that Luna had just left. Disappeared in the intricate passages of Hogwarts Castle.

"..."

(??⊙??⊙`)

(Little master, that guy has a conspiracy!!)

(●￣(??)￣●)

(Tibbers saw through that Mad-Eye Moody, knowing that the other party just came to ask his little master about the end time of the second Triwizard Tournament and the little human being Harry Potter, so he must have bad intentions! So, It reminded its little master rarely, although that kind of thing has nothing to do with it and its little master?)

"Of course I know!!"

s(????ˇεˇ????)ゞ

"but……"

????????

"Forget it, Tibbers, let's go back, let that messy old man Dumbledore worry about it! That's their adults' business, let's leave it alone!"

??ヽ(゜▽゜)－C????;◇;??

Little Annie didn't want to take care of that old man Dumbledore, the White Devil, so that the other party would come out and say something about her, so she didn't care about the conspiracy of Mad-Eye Professor Moody, and she didn't care about it. Regardless of the reminder from his little bear, Tibbers, he just continued to walk along the corner of the corridor just now, heading for his room on the top floor of the castle.

soon,

There is no one in this moonlight-lit corridor, only the candles on the walls and the red light on the torches are still swaying in the wind, and they continue to use their The dim light stubbornly competed with the oblique moonlight outside for the right to illuminate this corridor...

Unexpectedly, when little Annie was bouncing towards her room, when she thought nothing would happen in the auditorium, the principals and professors who were still watching the movie attentively At this time, the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Magic and the students all gasped for their three warriors!

Because, they saw from the screen, from the sight of the warriors: there is a monster with a terrifying appearance, horns and wings, like a demon described in myths and legends, leading a group of people who seem to be densely packed. The undead surrounded their camp, and surrounded the Kolin Crossing, which they took and cleared with great difficulty during the day, which was actually not too big!

A battle of the undead against Lordaeron is about to break out at this time in the middle of the night...
