Chapter 400 The Opponent in Fate

"Then let's separate here and see you in the second period."

Standing at the turn of the stairs on the second floor of the castle, Hermione held "Standard Spell, Level 1" in her arms, stopped and looked at Elena and others.

The first class on Thursday morning for first-year Gryffindors was Charms, with the Ravenclaw students.

According to the previously discussed arrangement, Luna's class hours at school were consistent with Hermione's. So she will separate from Elena here and follow Hermione to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor to start her first magic class.

As for Hufflepuff House, it is Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration. They will not get back together for class until the second period of the History of Magic in the morning - although this may not be the case for Professor Binns. Something to look forward to.

"Well, then Luna is up to you, Hermione. If there's anything she doesn't understand -"

"You don't need to ask me to help Luna." Hermione said angrily.

"Luna, don't be nervous. Charms class is not difficult..."

Elena blinked, turned to look at Little Loli Luna, and was about to give a few more words.

However, she didn't have time to finish her words. The crowded class crowd in Hogwarts quickly surged up, dragging Hermione, Luna and others standing on the stairs to move upstairs. In the end, Elena only had time to wave her hand and saw Hermione and Hannah disappear into the mixed crowd.

…

After the first meeting of the new version of "The Quibbler" yesterday afternoon and the food photo shoot this morning, Hermione and Luna quickly became familiar with each other and could almost be considered good friends.

At the very least, compared to other first-year students at Hogwarts, Hermione felt more relaxed and comfortable when getting along with Luna - perhaps part of the reason for this comes from the fact that the two are almost a whole year apart. At the age of two years old, and the sense of responsibility that needs to be guided by the younger students.

For Luna, her experience at Hogwarts during the past two days made her extremely happy.

Castles, portraits, ghosts, magic, gold mountains, Elena...

Everything is so new and interesting to Luna Lovegood. Regardless of Elena's starting point and purpose, at least she has done one good thing: Luna no longer has to wait alone for another year, except for her father. There was no one else to talk to, but now she was surrounded by many friendly and enthusiastic peers.

Luna carefully protected the Leica camera hanging around her neck, held Hermione's hand tightly, and followed Hermione with a nervous look on her face to avoid being accidentally dispersed by the crowded crowd.

"Don't worry, Luna. The stairs in Hogwarts Castle are not complicated. Just remember the changes in the main roads every week." Hermione turned to look at Luna and said with a smile.

"Normally speaking, as long as they are not hopelessly road-obsessed like Elena, most people can find the classroom after a week. Even if they occasionally go wrong, they can quickly re-identify the direction."

"Eh?! Is Elena a roadie?"

Luna raised her head curiously and responded with a slight hesitation, "But she knows so many things, whether it's Bubble Slug, Pikachu, Eevee, or those little-known secrets of magic, and she knows so many things." What a curse..."

"But a fool is a fool, Luna." Hermione winked playfully, "If you had seen her helpless scene wandering around on the underground floor once, you would understand that there are No matter how powerful a person is, he just can't find where he wants to go."

"It's unimaginable..." A strange look appeared on Luna's face.

As Hermione described it, she seemed to have an image of Elena wandering around Hogwarts Castle, but unable to reach her destination - this was different from her impression of the dangerous, powerful person. , the contrast between the image of sister Elena with unfathomable wisdom and experience is too great.

You know, no matter in the previous correspondence, or in the various strategizing from yesterday to today, in Luna's eyes, Elena seems to be the protagonist of a novel with 360 degrees of no blind spots.

"You will know this later. In fact, although Elena is powerful in many aspects, she still has many weaknesses."

Hermione shrugged, "As long as we find the right way, the three of us can definitely eat her to death."

Compared to Hannah Abbott, who could only rely on intuition to analyze the situation, Hermione could easily tell from Elena's words and deeds in the past two days that their small group had expanded again. Luna Will definitely become one of them.

At this time, the most important thing is obviously to establish the camp division in advance, and draw Luna into the fragile "anti-white-haired dumpling" camp before she takes the shape of Elena.

"For example, have you noticed the little tuft of hair on the top of her head? As long as..."

"Hmm, what else?"

"Also, her waist is very sensitive. A slight pinch will cause..."

Next, Hermione followed the topic of "the unknown weakness of the third-generation Dark Lord" and naturally discussed it with Luna. The relationship between the two little lolita who were still somewhat distant at first quickly became closer. ——Common enemies and common friends are always the easiest things to reach a tacit understanding, and Elena took care of both at the same time.

They walked and stopped along the way, and by the time they arrived at the Charms classroom, most of their classmates were already seated in the classroom.

Professor Flitwick stood on a pile behind the desk, holding the roster and preparing to start roll call. When he saw Luna and Hermione walking into the classroom hand in hand, there was no strange expression on their faces, but instead they were friendly. He smiled and nodded.

Obviously, Dumbledore had already communicated with him in advance about the situation of this special "auditor".

This Charms class was taught by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students together, and this was also the first time Luna had close contact with Ravenclaw students. Compared to the energetic Gryffindors or the extremely enthusiastic Hufflepuffs, most of the Ravenclaw students looked a little tired, as if they generally had not had a good night's rest.

Since Hogwarts experienced a week of unique "military training" activities at the beginning of this semester, the progress of the course was naturally delayed by a week compared to normal circumstances.

Therefore, although it has been three weeks since school started, the current teaching content of the Charms class is still relatively basic spell-casting gestures, as well as such as the Lighting Spell (fluorescent flash), the Cleaning Spell (cleaning it up), the Lock Picking Spell (Opening the Alaho Cave)... … training and familiarity with simple magic spells.

Of course, these contents are not difficult for Hermione.

She had quietly tried some of these spells before school even started, and now she just had the energy to focus on Luna Lovegood and patiently teach her how to cast these basic spells.

"A magic spell adds some properties to an item or creature... You must be highly focused when casting a spell..."

For a top student, mastering knowledge is only part of the happiness, and the other source of happiness comes from the classmates (xue) around who are still waving their magic wands seriously and trying hard to maintain their magic.

However, Hermione's little unknown happiness did not last long.

"This wand cannot be..."

Hermione's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her eyes fell on the particularly familiar black walnut wand in Luna's hand.

"Well, this is sister Elena's wand. She gave it to me."

Luna nodded and answered quickly.

"Oh, Elena is very good to you." Hermione nodded expressionlessly - you know, when she wanted to touch Elena's "chopsticks" before, the white-haired dumpling that protected the food didn't show any signs of it. Be so generous.

However, every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and Hermione would not take her anger out on the innocent little Lolita Luna.

What's more, it's Elena's own business to whom she wants to give her wand. It has nothing to do with her. Hermione Granger said that she was not angry at all. ,meaning!

Hermione quickly put away her emotions and turned to Luna with a calm smile.

"Do you still remember my explanation and demonstration just now? Although fluorescent flashing is simple, for beginners, just making a few light spots is enough. Don't be too frustrated... Anyway, let's try it first."

"Um."

Luna nodded, followed Hermione's demonstration and explanation just now, raised her wand very seriously, drew a circle in the air, then pulled it down, and whispered softly.

"Fluorescence."

The next moment, a soft white halo of light immediately emerged from the tip of the wand.

The entire classroom seemed to suddenly become a lot brighter, causing other students in the classroom and Professor Flitwick to involuntarily stop what they were doing and turn their heads to look this way.

"Miss Lovegood, well done!" Professor Flitwick clapped excitedly, not shying away from his praise.

"Look, everyone, Miss Lovegood has succeeded. You all have to work harder and focus more."

At this time, even Professor Flitwick could not pretend not to see this special "auditor".

If he remembered correctly, this little witch should only be ten years old this year, and like Elena from Hufflepuff, both entered school early.

What satisfied Professor Flitwick the most was that judging from the family background of this little witch, she would probably be a little angel belonging to Ravenclaw House when the houses are sorted next year - after all, as far as he knew, The Lovegood family has always been from Ravenclaw house, just like the Weasley family from Gryffindor next door.

The only pity is that since there is no sorting, he can't even give this child extra points now.

"this?!"

Hermione's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly remembered the scene of Elena in the Charms class that Hannah had described before.

It seemed that Miss Luna Lovegood's magical talents and abilities were not inferior to hers - for some reason, looking at the immature golden-haired little guy in front of her, she suddenly had a feeling that when she met her destiny A subtle sense of danger from an old enemy.
