Chapter 583 Goodbye, Allen

(Author's note: please eat this chapter in conjunction with the song "O Children" sung by Nick Cave, which is a song full of hope in despair)

Luna's dim eyes fell on Allen, and as her hand flicked, the butterbeer cork necklace turned into an exquisite time converter. It looks like a small shiny gold timer with a very long and fine gold chain, a gold disc that can be rotated in the middle is hollowed out with many delicate stars, and in the middle are three circles It is a transparent hourglass, in which the fine sand of three different colors shines with a lustrous and mysterious luster.

Seeing Luna's movements, Alan's eyes lit up and his heart suddenly dawned. No wonder Luna was not anxious for the dead creatures and dementors who were attacking the shield frantically, nor was she in a hurry to heal her injuries. Although I don’t know why this time-turner has two more hourglasses than normal ones—and how Luna got this kind of magical object that is strictly monitored by the Ministry of Magic, but as long as they go back to the past through the time-turner, they will be saved . Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, but he accidentally touched the wound on his face, causing him to frown again in an instant due to the pain.

With a flick of Luna's slender and dexterous fingers, the delicate disc in the middle of the Time Converter spun rapidly.

Seeing this, Allen was very anxious and terrified. The magic related to time is unstable-Hogwarts and the Department of Magic except the Department of Mysteries will not teach such spells, only Ravenclaw's Except for the library inside the tower or the pure-blood family that is old enough and has not declined, it is estimated that there are some records of them, only the silent people are allowed to study them in the hall of time.

The Hour Reversal Spell is a very dangerous and unstable spell that can be used to go back in time. This spell was used in the Time Turner because storing this unstable spell in a magic container can be more effective. Good results. Serious breaches of the time codes can also have catastrophic consequences—possible scenarios include wizards and witches mistakenly killing past or future selves, or drastically altering the trajectory of one's life so that time is anomalous, and some people who should exist are never unborn.

As a result, the Ministry of Magic puts Time-Turners under strict warranty scrutiny when approving their use: the Ministry has hundreds of laws surrounding the possession of Time-Turners, as well as the most stringent penalties for their misuse. Harsh laws and penalties.

According to the current research report that the silent people deliberately published to emphasize the danger to ordinary wizards, the longest safe retracement time that will not cause serious damage to travelers and time itself is five hours. It is mentioned in the history of magic that the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters dealt with a disaster accident caused by a silent man named Heloise Mintab in 1899. She used a time converter to return to the past in the experiment, but because Died for more than a few hours. In a trip back in time, Heloise was trapped in the year 1402 for five days. When she finally returned to the present, her body was five centuries older and irreparably damaged, and she died at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds.

Her travels have changed the lives of all the people she met in the past, and at least twenty-five descendants have disappeared from modern times and become "never born". Beyond that, there are worrying signs that past time has also been disturbed: her return to the modern day lasts two and a half days on Tuesday, and only four hours on Thursday.

One turn of the time converter is equivalent to going back one hour, and now the time converter on Luna's neck is turning so fast that Alan can't see clearly at all. What is Luna doing?

Luna walked to Alan's side and looked down at Alan intently, as if the violent impacts outside the shield and the cruel and beautiful disappearance could not attract her attention. It was as if a pair of invisible hands gently lifted Alan up. It was definitely not forced. Alan didn't feel any discomfort, but as if the gravity had changed.

supporting his body.

Letting go of the Occlumency technique, Allen tried to connect with Luna in his heart, knowing that the other party could hear him. Luna tapped his lips lightly with her finger, and then looked up at the dementors shining blue powder on the shield dome: "It's really a romantic way to take a girl to see a dementor. good idea."

Allen couldn't help but looked up at the dementors above his head whose sleeves fluttered, stretched out their rotten palms, and hit the shield layer by layer. Now it's really time to see the dementors, but it's like this In a predicament... Although the falling blue powder and the blue-silver glowing shield do look very beautiful-although those ugly undead creatures add a lot of horror and despair to it.

Suddenly, Luna's wrists were connected and held above her head, turning and blooming like a blooming flower. Her body bent into a strange arc, as if she was praying or listening to the voice from the sky. voice, whirled and danced a dance of her own invention as she hummed a Muggle ballad—her voice sounded like three voices overlapping again.

Then she noticed Alan's confused eyes, she tilted her head and smiled playfully at Alan, but she didn't stop singing, "My child, please have fun..."

Allen's body was completely uncontrollable and was invited by Luna to control and dance together. He raised his hands and feet like a puppet being manipulated. Coupled with his current miserable image and astonished expression, it looks very funny .

"Hey, little train, the little train we jumped on, it's going to the country of dreams..."

"Oops, the shield is about to shatter." Allen, who was manipulated to dance with Luna, saw a crack on the top of the shield because of the rotation, secretly thinking that something was wrong. A Dementor squeezed its way through the gap and managed to get inside the shield, followed by another...

"The dementors are coming in, Luna don't jump!" Seeing those dementors pounced on him and Luna, Allen became anxious, he had lost the ability to move, but Luna kept jumping. The pair didn't notice at all.

"We are very happy, Mom, we are very happy, even if the train has not left the station." Luna hummed, her protruding eyes kept staring at Alan, following a posture of raising her head in a dance, She waved her hand, and the dementors paused for a moment, then flew towards the crack above their heads. They flew out of the shield, attacked their companions when they came, and blocked the crack with their bodies.

"The dementor who controls the crazy mind? The servant of Eris, the goddess of doom?!" Allen's arm was also raised high, and he turned half a circle, thinking of the words of the god of death in a trance, "The death knight said that I She is a believer in a false god, and the god of death said she was a false god, and she used the divine power obtained by lies and deceit, divine power? Divine power... the bet between the goddess of fortune and the goddess of misfortune! The bet between these two goddesses, regardless of Whoever wins and who loses is someone else's disaster, and those victims are all grateful to the goddess who helped them and gave them their devout faith." Allen's thoughts were spinning like his dance steps at this time, "These two goddesses are both Luna in disguise?! She deceived those victims for nearly a thousand years by acting like a double reed, and then made them pay for their beliefs because they were so-called saved or leave a so-called lizard like a lizard. The prophecy made them willingly enslaved for so many years with a glimmer of hope of being saved... But how can mortals collect beliefs like gods? How did Luna become a false god..."

"Hey, little train, wait for me, I used to be so blind, but now I understand, do you still have a corner for me, is this my imagination..." There are more and more cracks on the shield, from the circle The top had already begun to spread downwards, and the time-turner was still spinning rapidly, but Luna continued humming indifferently.

"Luna can use the storage space of her system freely, and her system tasks were not difficult at all, and the seemingly difficult tasks just gave solutions or props, as if she deliberately found a The reason for giving yourself some benefits is the same as guiding yourself. And later—almost after I met Luna! The system almost never issued tasks anymore. Was this system also created by her? The Luna I know Who is she really... the tower, the crown, Luna basically learned the lore in the tower. Her Patronus Charm became a raven, and her relationship with Lady Gray Helena, Autry -a Ravenclaw head in a queer headdress next to a venomous horn in her monolithic black cylindrical house in St. Catchpole Village..." Alan found himself no longer After the blind spot in my heart, I quickly mixed these conscious doubts together in my heart, and was shocked to find that all kinds of evidence pointed in one direction, "Luna (Luna) was called a homophonic crazy girl (Loony), and if Luo Fugood (Loonylove) was split into (Loonylove) [Author's Note: When Luna in the film version of Order of the Phoenix appeared, Hermione brought LOVE when Luna called Luna a crazy girl and didn't pronounce GOOD. It sounds like... 】——Sounds very much like Rowena! If Luna is counted, it is Rowena? Ravenclaw... No wonder the statue of Eris under the Guthias tree looks like Ravenclaw Law himself..."

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings. The 'system' is nothing more than letting it appear in the way you think is the most reasonable in your own mind. Except for some inherent process arrangements, it is just a And the small things around you that have a certain ability to detect and predict. As for why there are no "missions", it is because I have almost finished all the things I left behind-the things you didn't get are just from your own imagination. Luna answered the question with a slightly mischievous tone in her own voice, "In the end, Loony LOVE can also be literally translated as crazy love-this is quite suitable for us, isn't it? But you can keep Harris surname, I don't intend to marry you to change your surname to Ravenclaw, I am now Luna Lovegood - my mother Pandora Lovegood is a remarkable witch, I reincarnated myself to regain After the body, she noticed my abnormality. After several years of research, I got a wrong result. My mother thought that my body was occupied by another wizard's soul. The doomed spell killed herself when the extra part was lost... because I've always had only one soul in my body... When you later entered that statue I left in the Ravenclaw common room, the fragments of my soul also Just get free and come back and reintegrate with me, let me gradually restore my memory..."

And the other two more mature female voices continued singing: "Hey, little train, wait for me, I was bound, but now I'm free, I'm still holding on, have you seen? On this ordeal journey middle."

No matter how shocked Alan is in his heart now, Luna seems to have been immersed in this wonderful time of dancing together. Luna's voice has also joined the chorus again, and Alan can also perfectly cooperate with it under the control of the invisible force. Dance with Luna's strange dance steps.

Under the frenzied attack of the undead creatures, the circular shield cracked with traces, like blue stars, crazy lightning, and ice flowers on the window lattices in winter... Outside the blue shield, in the gray darkness, countless The undead and the dementors wanted to rush in ferociously. When they hit the shield, they turned into mottled blue light spots in the darkness, and fell to the ground, blending with the black land.

Under their relentless impact, the cracks in the shield gradually expanded, and Luna waved her hand again to control some of the approaching dementors, making them wrestle and entangle with the dementors who were still companions next to them—close to the ground The shield can hardly hold up anymore.

Luna put her hands behind her neck, and took off the time converter necklace around her neck. With her weird and elegant dance steps, she tied the time converter around Alan's neck , Feeling the touch brought by his fingertips, Alan swayed his body gently following Luna's singing. He couldn't control his body, so naturally he couldn't resist.

Then, still wearing blue pajamas, Luna smiled at Allen, then let him go and took a step back so that Allen could continue to be supported by the magic power, with a tenderness and sentimentality in her voice that had never been expressed before, "Don't take it off, or you will be a thousand years old when you come back." Luna puffed her big eyes and explained the precautions to Allen, as if explaining how to resist the hooks in the mistletoe Same.

Luna's other voices never stopped singing, "Hey, little train, the little train we jumped on, it's going to the land of dreams, we're happy, mom, we're happy, it's beyond my craziest wild longing."

Aware of the other party's intentions, Allen was swallowed by fear. He struggled to pull the other party, but he just moved his body in vain. Allen tried to contact Luna frantically in his heart, "Luna?! This time and space Can the converter protect against damage that takes too long to go back? Come here, this chain is long enough to trap the two of us, you don't need to..."

"Yes, it can trap two people, but it can't take away a god—even if it's just a false god." Luna put her hands on Allen's shoulders again, her silver-gray eyes fixed on Allen's Looking at him in the eyes, "You don't understand anything, Alan Harris."

At this time, Alan no longer cared about the pain caused by forcibly opening his mouth. He roared in a low voice and tried to control the upper and lower jaws to let them open and close, so that the jaw and cheek pierced by the finger bone would tear enough wounds to allow him to have some The gap spoke directly, he couldn't leave Luna alone in this gray area full of undead and dementors.

"Hey, little train, the little train we jumped on, it will go to the country of dreams, we are very happy, mom, we are very happy, even if the train has not left the station." After Luna sang this sentence, because Alan The movement made the music finally stop.

"There are... some things... I still understand." Allen begged painfully and persistently, his tears fell uncontrollably - but not at all because of the pain caused by the wound.

"I know...I love you, and I know you love me too." The injury on Allen's face was too great, the wound that had stopped bleeding was torn open again with his previous actions, and the blood flowed The cheeks flowed into the mouth, and the finger bones piercing through the mouth were also hindering his pronunciation, and the sound of blood bubbles in his mouth made his words indistinct.

Luna stared at the bloody wounds on Allen's face due to tearing and the wart-like swellings on the other's face, then stretched out her hand to the Time Converter, but immediately retracted it, changing to a gentle He stroked Alan's forehead and smoothed his messy hair, "Alan, do you still remember that I had a dream in the bedroom of the vice-principal's house in Durmstrengmont? It was a prophetic dream ——The goal of the god of death is to let me who escaped death enter the underworld, I prophesied to this day, but I can't change the past."

Luna's calm appearance made Alan's tears flow down his cheeks mixed with blood, and the saltiness of the tears brought extra sting to those wounds, but those pains were far less than his heartache and powerless feeling at this time. Frustration—the knowledge that he has greedily plundered for a long time, and the power that he has deliberately obtained cannot help him at this time.

The number of dementors and undead creatures entering the shield was getting closer and closer, and it was too late.

"When I made the first bet with Bair a long time ago, I won a drop of the blood of the dragon god Tiamat, the dragon god Tiamat, so that I could transcend the mortal body and know the secret of divine power. , and pretending to be two goddesses to deceive others to collect divine power-my last name, Ravenclaw means "crow's claw", and the implicit meaning is "greedy predator". Finally, this is why I am not in a hurry to find magic The reason why creatures perform magic Animagus transformation." Luna's white arms stretched out, and turned into huge dragon claws in front of Allen's eyes, with colorful lights flashing, Luna turned into a dragon with five dragon heads and a traditional dragon claw. A giant dragon with a wyvern-like tail.

Each of her heads has a different color. The white dragon's head stands high, and the scales reflect like a mirror. It swoops down from a height and spits out frost to freeze and hinder the undead; the black dragon's head has deep-set eye sockets. , shaped like a skeleton, the scales on the dragon's head will become big, thick, and dark in color, lurking behind other dragon heads waiting for an opportunity to spit out linear acid to attack; the green dragon's jaws full of teeth and raised All of its horned crowns reveal its aggressive nature. Among the five dragon heads, it strikes most frequently, exhaling a large amount of corrosive gas to cover the frontal battlefield; the blue dragon head has huge ears, and a thick root on the end of its nose. One-horned, its scales are brilliant sky blue, the outer skin makes a crackling sound, and the lightning created in the mouth makes those dementors directly electrified into powder without a chance to get up again; the red dragon head has a ball like lava Eyes, whose scales are as hard as metal, hot cone-shaped dragon's breath sprayed out, and undead creatures were reduced to ashes in the burning flames - Allen's time converter had stopped rotating and began to emit a faint light, Luna is fighting for the last time for Allen.

Beautiful stripes of these colors are scattered across the dragon's huge torso. Unlike the slender Luna in human form, after transforming into an Animagus, the dragon's body is so strong that Luna can use the whole body to crush those undead creatures. These undead who were no longer living creatures were poisoned, but the tail-flicking power contained in it was enough to blow those skeletons to pieces. Coupled with the five majestic dragon heads, the momentum was astonishing.

"Why me?" Allen asked this five-headed dragon also known as "Wan Se Hui Kong". He already knew that Bayer's second sentence in the Goblet of Fire match was right. By the way, it was Luna who made another real bet with the Grand Duke Devil—it was probably based on whether she could truly complete the game perfectly as a rule, and finally allowed herself to obtain the knowledge and benefits from Bator Hell.

"Because it's you." Luna's vague female voice sounded in Alan's heart.

The blue shield was completely broken, and in the darkness, amidst the white frost, red flames, and the roar of the giant dragon, those undead creatures and dementors in the distance rushed towards Luna like a raging wave.

"No, Luna." Seeing that Luna was about to be overwhelmed by the wave of undead creatures, Allen's face was so distorted that he couldn't see the slightest usual handsome appearance. Indescribable fear and regret rose in his heart. Hear the roar of the dragon tear the air.

In an instant, Alan could no longer see Luna, he felt himself flying backwards quickly, various blurred cloud shapes flashed in front of his eyes, tears were pouring down, he felt something slamming in his ears— —and then Alan felt as if a hook was jerking forward with irresistible momentum behind the navel.

Finally, after a while, Alan, who had to close his eyes due to the strong dizziness before, heard the sound of rushing water around him. He opened his eyes, everything before had disappeared, neither the undead creatures and dementors covering the sky, nor the roaring dragon.

Except for the exposed rocks and the clear air, there is simply the sound of the stream... He lay on the edge of this clear, shallow stream, and the soothing undulating fields in the distance were covered by a small purple flower called heather— ——The earth makes people feel that there is a lack of vitality. The boundless purple is too dazzling and stubborn, different from the brilliant splendor of mountain flowers, but a kind of full bloom that is almost desperate.

After confirming his surroundings, Allen, who knew he was in the Scottish Highlands, closed his eyes again, and he just lay motionless on the ground, overwhelmed by sadness and despair. At this time, a vague female voice whispered in the void.

"Goodbye, Ellen."
