Chapter 191 Miss Lovegood's Whimsical Ideas
"Ah—it's so nice to see Miss Hamilton during the summer vacation."
In the somewhat cramped living room of the Lovegood family, Mr. Lovegood, wearing pajamas and holding a cup of coffee, raised an eyebrow. Although it was afternoon, he looked sleepy.
"Good afternoon." Loila nodded politely to him, then carefully took a few steps back to avoid getting too close.
Don't get me wrong, Loila isn't disgusted by Mr. Lovegood, but rather a little scared—he just said he was a bit curious about whether Veela could be eaten.
They also made comments like, "I think it might taste pretty good."
It's a little... a little scary...
"I'm also very happy to see Royla during the summer vacation." Luna's voice came from behind. Luna, who had just run upstairs to get something, jogged down the stairs. She jumped down from the last three steps, a slightly dangerous move that made Roy instinctively tighten her grip on her wand.
Fortunately, she was much more agile than Loila, and not only did she land smoothly, but she also made a move that looked like a stage performance.
Wow, that's amazing!
Under Loila's somewhat admiring gaze, Luna smiled gently and said, "This is all thanks to you, Loila."
I?
Why?
"Because it was learned from your movements back then!" Luna said, tilting her head and raising her hand to make a gesture of a little person tumbling in the air.
Dead memories are attacking me!
Stop talking, Luna!
Loila covered her head, recalling her astonishing performance that day—she had to admit that her ability to withstand pressure was getting stronger and stronger. A few months ago, just thinking about such an embarrassing thing would have made Loila faint.
Right now it seems like only my ears are trembling — um!
This doesn't mean you can just grab it!
Loila let out a soft scream as Luna pinched her ear, then quickly shook her head to get away.
Mr. Lovegood is still watching!
Oh—okay—Loila looked up and saw Mr. Lovegood looking at his manuscript with a serious expression.
This also reminded Loira that she didn't come here today to play with Luna! Even if you're looking at me like that, it's not!
Loila came today hoping to discuss the manuscript on magic arrays with Mr. Lovegood. Mr. Lovegood had previously mentioned wanting a report on magic arrays.
As a magic array expert, Roy naturally hoped that more people would be willing to learn about magic arrays, as long as they didn't come to him seeking information.
I must say, Mr. Lovegood, who is currently working, seems quite serious—if he could always be this serious, I might not be so foolish after all—
"Miss Hamilton?" Mr. Lovegood's voice came, bringing Loila back from her brooding thoughts.
"I think your article is very well written." He shrugged, looking serious, and spoke with considerable professionalism: "Even someone like me, who knows very little about magic arrays, finds it very reasonable."
"I've even developed a slight interest in magic arrays." He nodded as he spoke, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Don't say that, Mr. Lovegood!" Loila blushed immediately upon hearing his praise. "I just—I just wrote it down casually—most of the theories come from Dad—"
And many of them were copied directly from my notes —
"However, there are still some problems." Mr. Lovegood changed the subject and tapped the table lightly.
However, upon hearing his words, Luo Yili subconsciously felt relieved.
Ah—this is my work, how could it be without problems? It's precisely because there are problems that I feel at ease!
"For example, here—" Mr. Lovegood said, handing over the manuscript and pointing to a passage, "The study of magic arrays is a discipline that provides convenience in life and enriches the wizarding experience, and at the same time—"
"There should be some arguments here," he said, taking a sip of coffee. "For example—"
"With the magic circle and its props, you won't have to worry about running out of toilet paper even when you go to the bathroom! This comes from a wizard who lives in Diagon Alley."
Or perhaps—
"The magic circle learning tool is fantastic! It makes learning even more enjoyable for children!" - From a middle-aged wizard in Godric's Valley.
"Ah! Ever since he started learning magic arrays, the child no longer plays games like Wizard's Chess!" came the red-haired boy's mother's nagging.
"besides----"
"."
'
Loila's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Mr. Lovegood before her, deciding to take back everything she had just said—
He's never serious!
"Ah, that's enough, Dad." Luna gently placed her hand on her father's shoulder and then smiled. "Loira knows more about magic arrays than we do."
"And if we write it the way Dad says, there won't be enough space in the newspaper."
Luna's words calmed Mr. Lovegood's somewhat agitated expression. He pursed his lips and then nodded.
"Ah—you're right—"
Thank you, Luna, for preventing my article from becoming some kind of third-rate little guy — Loila expressed her gratitude to Luna in her heart.
"Then let's follow Miss Hamilton's original text," Mr. Lovegood nodded and said. "Typesetting will take some time, it might be around—"
He calculated the time and said, "The report will be around August."
Has it really been that long?
Loila asked curiously, "Why—why so long?"
"Because the most popular sport in July is Quidditch," Mr. Lovegood said with a shrug. "You know, the Ministry of Magic has been trying to cheat so that the English Fireballs can win the European Championship."
"I heard they tampered with their opponents' brooms so that they would make a farting sound while flying."
Ah—is that so?
Did my magic array skills lose to a farting broom?
Loila shook her head, no longer wanting to think about these strange things—she turned to look at Luna and gave her a slight smile.
Now that I've finished my business, it means I can finally play with Luna!
I've been working hard for months! All so I can have a proper rest during my vacation!
With this in mind, Lois and Luna walked together along a country road.
"Loira, how's your adventure with Mr. Lupin going?" Luna asked casually as they walked. "I heard you discovered something incredible!"
"Ah—we—we discovered a magic circle ruin—and Mr. PH—" Roy thought for a moment and then recounted what had happened in the past few days.
Listening to Loila's story, Luna nodded gently, occasionally offering her own opinions.
"Mr. Lupin is really amazing; he can actually understand werewolf language," Luna exclaimed. "I wish I could understand it too."
I never expected we'd have the same idea! — Roy felt a little happy — Doesn't this mean I'm a lot like Luna?
I wish I were like Luna, then I'd definitely have lots of friends.
Thinking of his friend, Roy subconsciously thought of Mr. Lupin, who had helped him so much—while he had only made the wolfsbane potion.
Hearing Loila unconsciously voice her thoughts, Luna smiled gently: "Loila is sometimes a little silly, but it's really cute."
"Huh?"
"You're a magic array expert," Luna blinked. "Why do you always try to solve problems like a potion expert?"
