Chapter 964 Meeting with Xenophilius
Ivan, who was thinking about what was going on and couldn't see the way, collided with Luna. The little witch took two steps back in a daze and almost hit the wall behind.
After seeing the figure in front of her clearly, Luna's slightly frowning brows relaxed and she shouted happily.
"Hi, Ivan!"
Then without waiting for Ivan to reply, Luna added as if she had thought of something. "Oh, no, I should call you Professor Hals now!"
"Don't call me that in private. You don't want me to call you Miss Nofgood all day long, right?" Ivan shrugged and said distressedly.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed together.
"Are you looking for any information recently? Ivan?" Luna bent down and picked up the "British Events" and "Ancient Historical Legends" scattered on the ground, patted the dust on them and handed them to Ivan, curious asked.
Ivan took the book from the little witch's hand, thanked him, and then explained. "Well, it's some legends about England."
"Do you still remember the story of the three brothers?" Ivan hesitated for a moment and asked directly without any intention of hiding it.
"Of course I remember!" Luna nodded and retold the fable like she was dreaming. She obviously liked this legend very much.
"Then do you believe this story is true? About the God of Death and those sacred weapons?" Ivan asked slightly confused.
"Why don't you believe it? We don't have any evidence to prove that Death doesn't exist, do we?" Luna asked in a sing-song tone.
Ivan paused for a moment, then stopped laughing, realizing that he had asked a stupid question. The little witch was always willing to believe in all kinds of unusual things, and this prophecy was probably no exception.
However, the more in-depth he searched for information, the less sure Ivan was about whether this legend was true or false.
At first, due to the impression of the original work, Ivan didn't think much of these holy weapons, because except for the Elder Wand, the other two holy weapons were very weak in the original work. At most, they were just a more powerful magic weapon. Just items.
However, the Invisibility Cloak, which originally could only hide people's bodies, has developed more functions in Grindelwald's hands. It can not only change appearance according to the mind, but also resist and weaken the power of curses.
Even the Resurrection Stone seems to hide other secrets, not just the manifestation of magical illusions.
"By the way, Luna, I remember that your father seemed to have studied this legend specifically, right?" Ivan suddenly remembered the scenes he saw in Luna's memory last time, and with a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but say something Asking.
"Well, that's right... Ever since my mother left, my father has been looking through some information every day, but he doesn't seem to want me to know." Luna raised her head slightly and recalled.
"Then can I visit Mr. Nofgood tomorrow?" Ivan said hesitantly. According to Luna, Xenophilius has been researching the Deathly Hallows for several years, and there may be some reward.
And Xenophilius did know some information about the Deathly Hallows in the original time and space.
"Of course, if dad knows that you are coming, he will be extremely happy!" Luna opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.
Ivan touched his nose, but he never thought that Xenophilius would welcome him so much.
"I told Dad that you found the Bent-Horned Snorlax for us, and that issue of The Quibbler sold hundreds of copies because of it. He always wanted to find a chance to thank you." Luna explained with a smile.
"That's not necessary. You helped me solve the puzzle left by Ms. Ravenclaw before. Isn't it right for friends to help each other?" Ivan said funny.
"But it's not me who wants to thank you..." Luna blinked and said seriously.
Ivan was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a moment. He had no choice but to change the subject without laughing or crying, and made an appointment with the little witch to meet in the tower of Hogwarts tomorrow morning.
…
Half a day passed in a blink of an eye. Early the next morning, Ivan woke up from the bed in the employee lounge. After washing, he went to the top floor of the tower to meet Luna.
Since it was the Christmas holiday, Hogwarts Castle seemed a little empty. Most of the students had already packed their luggage and took the Hogwarts Express to go home.
Ivan did not stay in the castle. After arriving at the agreed place, he used apparation to take Luna to Nofgood's mansion.
Following a space displacement, after the forest-white firelight disappeared, the two figures appeared out of thin air on a barren mountain in northern England.
Not far in front of them, there stood an eccentric house that looked like a huge black column, covered with branches and vines.
Although Ivan had already seen him in Luna's memory, when he actually saw him, he had to admit that Luna's father's taste was very unique.
He had previously heard reports from the law enforcers in the Wizarding Market that Xenophilius had transformed the rented mansion in Knockturn Alley into a grotesque appearance, and complained from time to time that he could not find colorful flowers near Knockturn Alley. There were no traces of ball fish and pointed caterpillars, so soon after the news of Voldemort's death came, he couldn't wait to move back to his original mansion.
Thinking in his mind, Ivan and Luna stepped into the courtyard gate together. The winding path was covered with all kinds of strange plants. Two old crabapple trees bent by the wind guarded both sides of the front door. , the leaves have fallen off, but they are still full of small red fruits and large mistletoe corollas decorated with white beads.
Luna introduced to Ivan a large group of airship plums that she had planted with her own hands. She even picked one and strung it up with magic on the spot, replacing the original earrings.
"It's quite pretty." Ivan watched the little witch put an orange-red, pinky-sized fruit in her ear. He found it quite interesting and laughed softly.
"Really?" Luna seemed very happy, so she picked off another airship earring, replaced the other earring, and then hummed softly and pulled Ivan to open the door and walk into the house.
"Luna, are you back?" As soon as the two of them stepped into the house, a slightly loud voice rang out.
Ivan turned his head and looked over there, and then saw a middle-aged wizard about forty years old walking down the stairs.
Xenophilius has white hair that is as fluffy as cotton candy, and the linen robe he is wearing is stained with a lot of dust, but Ivan's attention is focused on the gold chain hanging around his neck. There was a strange symbol flashing on it, and Ivan could tell at a glance that it was the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.
