A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 729 Extra Story Lovegood
Luna Lovegood opened her eyes and stared at the constantly changing clouds in the sky. The pure sunlight shone on her face through the pores of the Brazilian rainforest, and the air was fresh and pleasant.Her husband Rolf Scamander photographed a plant two kilometers away.A tiny bug crawled all over her.

They stayed in this rainforest for three months, in order to find a kind of "little bird with a luminous body and a rainbow flying" mentioned by the locals. An eight-year-old boy said he saw it with his own eyes by the river, but it was a pity Disappeared in the blink of an eye.The source is absolutely reliable, but it's impossible to tell whether it's true or not. It may just be that the boy was blinded and mistakenly associated the rainbow after the rain with some beautiful bird (such as a toucan) that he couldn't name, but they came anyway Yes, as a honeymoon trip for two people.

They searched the nearby waters and ponds, but found only some beautiful feathers and a few sapphires.Today those feathers and gemstones are kept in lockets, alongside blimp plum earrings, cork necklaces, and pebbles.In Rove's words, "You have to accommodate the aesthetics of ordinary people and have one or two pieces of normal jewelry."

Luna sniffed the strong scent of green grass and earth, feeling drowsy.After an unknown amount of time, she was awakened by the whistling sound of the warning spell. It was Rove Scamander, who came back with a camera and a thick notebook.

"Another endangered wild plant was discovered," Rove said, "I left a detector nearby and handed over to the local environmental protection department." He looked at his wife who jumped up from the ground, and couldn't help frowning , "You are lying on the ground again..."

Luna quickly took out the magic wand hidden in the thick hair behind her head, and pointed at herself. The white mist evaporated from the dew-soaked clothes. She turned around in a circle with great interest, and even jumped twice .

"How about this time?"

"Okay." Rove muttered softly.

The two began to tidy up the tent. Today was the last day in the rainforest, and they were reluctant to leave before leaving.Halfway through packing, they sat among the big and small bags and flipped through the thick photo album.

"This is the local village and residents..."

"I like them, they love to tell jokes," Luna interjected.

"Yes, three sentences without a joke. This is a picture of me playing football with them. Look, they are so happy! It's a triumphant smile. I think if it was Quidditch, I probably wouldn't." Lost so badly...you were learning how to weave by the side...so who the hell is taking pictures...but I think it is necessary to remind you that the locals use this technique to make fishing gear, not to wear vines... ..."

"In the Magic Tavern, we newly met two wizard friends from Castrobusher, one of them insisted on cursing my little finger, beautiful stun spell, my dear..."

"A toucan swaggers into the tent, only to be scared away by the magic lamp."

"Then there are several magical animals unique to Brazil, all of which you discovered first. It's so strange. It reminds me of the scene when we first met."

Amazed, he turned the album forward, skimmed nearly a third of the wedding photos, and stopped at the first few pages.

Two heads come together.In the photo, Luna, who is a few years younger than she is now, is squatting on the ground, reaching out to pet a creature that looks a lot like a ferret. The little guy is eating a steaming hot dog, his eyes squinting happily.The background is a field of ice and snow.

"To be honest, I have been searching in the North Pole for two years," Rove said sourly, "but I found nothing. I seriously suspect that my grandfather missed some key information... But it is not empty-handed."

Luna happily hums from the sidelines to a tune that sounds like a 12-year-old song by the Weird Sisters - 'A Great Victory'.

Rove hummed a few words.

Near noon, they walked out of the Brazilian rainforest carrying two suitcases, one large and one small.After Rove handed over a thick stack of photos to local bioconservation organisations, the pair made their way to the border, registered and returned to the UK via Portkey.

"Wizards are really born explorers," said a border policeman.

"We've always been like this," Rove replied.

"Hey, I'm talking about the guy who went to Mars," the policeman quipped.

……

On the hills near the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, the grass was rippling in big circles, and a small house that looked like a knocked-off boot was in the distance.

"My dear daughter! You are back."

Xenophilius Lovegood ran out of the house to hug Luna, who patted his father on the back.Xenophilius was dressed dirty, his cotton candy-like hair was in a mess, like an abandoned bird's nest, his cross-eye problem seemed to be getting worse, so he used it as an excuse to pretend he didn't see it The man next to his daughter, until Rove took the initiative to say hello, he reluctantly gave him an extremely perfunctory hug.

"Sorry, I forgot your name, Rod, Roman—"

"It's Rove." Luna said cheerfully.Xenophilius made a "cut", one eye seemed to fly out of its socket, he squinted at his daughter's husband with the other eye, took the suitcase in Luna's hand silently, and used another One hand led her towards the black door.Rolf Scamander shook his head and followed.

This attitude is considered good.

According to one reporter who snuck into the wedding and was kicked out, "That old widower in Lovegood seems to be planning to jinx his son-in-law during the wedding ceremony and turn him into a big-mouthed ball fish. Pity If you don’t succeed, you might hope to compete for the most breaking news of the year—with the witnesses of the Hypes, the Potters, the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, the Scamanders and other relatives and friends.”

But Rove knew it was pure nonsense, at least not entirely true.

In contrast, he believed that Xenophilius originally planned to transform him into the horn of a poison horned beast, because when he was here for the first time as a guest, he accidentally broke the horn that Mr. Lovegood gave to his daughter. Surprise——that gray spiral horn purchased from a smuggler was not the Horned Snork but the Horned Horn. It was extremely dangerous to keep at home... He paid the price for his honesty.

The room is a standard circle, like a round pepper shaker.

The ground floor is the kitchen, with flowers, insects and birds painted on the stove, sink and cupboards.Going up the cast iron spiral staircase, the second floor is a more messy living room and studio. An old-fashioned printing press occupies the best lighting and position, and other places are scattered and full of sundries—see When he came out and his daughter was not at home, Mr. Lovegood was not in the mood to clean up the house at all.Several palm-sized magic lamps in the shape of animals flew around the ceiling.Two staircases lead up from this level, leading to Luna's and Mr. Lovegood's bedrooms respectively.

The three of them spent an afternoon sorting out the travel information. Mr. Lovegood still regarded Rove as air, but he asked Luna everything, cared about everything, and showed amazing interest in all the interesting details that happened on the trip. curiosity.

"Oh, is that so... This seems to verify a certain theory."

Luna's power of observation surprised the two men present, and Rove regretted that these excellent views would only appear in the unreliable magazine "Quieker", together with Flame Elves, Trembling Maggots, Life on Mars, etc. Anecdotes and stories are published together.

The last one doesn't count.

When Mr. Hemp and Ms. Granger return from Mars, the answer to this question will not matter. People are caught up in fantasies about the possibility of emigrating to alien planets in their lifetime, and it takes a long time before they realize that the next time Mars will be closest to Earth in 2018.

In the following years, six space bases were successively established on the moon.

Luna suddenly raised her head and glanced at the ceiling.

"There are a thousand people above us," she said.

"I'm afraid those people will fall," Xenophilius said, "but if they can sit on broomsticks..."

In the evening, Mr. Lovegood, who was in a good mood, was about to show off his cooking skills. Luna suggested to give Rove a chance to try, "He has all the cooking recipes of the Lovegood family." "Then he will take advantage of it. muttered Mr. Lovegood, "no one but the Garden Sapper has ever had the chance to see it."

He began to talk about the last time the Hypes came to the house as guests.

"Felix Hep... is a good man, knowledgeable and humorous. I interviewed him about his experience on Mars and his views on the Snork. He said he had raised two; but his The wife has no sense of humor..."

Rove was busy in the downstairs kitchen for a while, poking his head out from under the cast iron stairs, Luna asked him with eyes. "A few seasonings are missing, but I think they can be found nearby." Rove said confidently.

After dinner, Mr. Lovegood's attitude towards Rove improved a lot. He said vaguely, "I tasted the food made by Pandora. After so many years, it may be an illusion..."

"Mom built the vegetable garden by herself." Luna said in a daze.

Early the next morning, Luna and Rove came to the "Daily Prophet" headquarters.Both of them contributed articles to the Daily Prophet, but later Luna completely fell into the "family business", while Rove hoped that, like his grandfather, more people would pay attention to the survival of magical animals.

Coming out of the editor's office, the two ran into a person in the hallway—Rita Skeeter, a journalist who loved to write libelous articles.

Rita Skeeter surveyed the two over her square jeweled glasses, "Let me see... Luna Lovegood, Rolf Scamander, newcomers to Magizoology, who were married before they got married." Had a great collaboration...the last wedding was rushed and I haven't had time to congratulate you both."

"That's because you came uninvited and were expelled." Rove said seriously.

"Materials are hard to come by." Skeeter waved his hand, "There are big people here, of course I have to find a way to get in. The last time I had this opportunity was two years ago, but I didn't dare to make small moves that time... Have you heard?"

"What?" Rove asked in surprise.

"The big scene I've been looking forward to has been so boring in recent years." Skeeter's face flushed slightly, and his long nails dug into the crocodile leather bag in his hand.

"The Quidditch World Cup," Luna said suddenly.

Skeeter glanced at her, "That's right, in July 2010, that is, the 7th Quidditch World Cup was held on the floating island. But I dug up a bigger surprise, which will definitely shock everyone Eyeballs are even hotter than Felix Haip marrying his own student." She deliberately lowered her voice in the last sentence, and after she finished speaking, she looked furtively in the corridor, as if afraid of being heard, she warned: "This I'm just here to say it."

"Is there anything you can't say?" Luna asked curiously.

Rove tugged at his wife's sleeve, and Rita Skeeter snorted twice, turned her sharp eyes around her, landed on the food box in Luna's hand, and provocatively said, "If you want me to say Well, to become Luna Lovegood's husband, you must first have an iron stomach. According to the reliable information I got, she was nicknamed "Mad Girl" when she was in school, and she was also happy to feed centaurs and acromants. "

"This is fake news," Rolf Scamander stood up, embraced his wife like a man, and said seriously: "Luna didn't show any special interest in acromantulas, and most of them Time is when I cook. Do you want to know the trick?"

Rita Skeeter stared at him without speaking.

"Just a few special spices, which I discovered when we first met, because I just happen to like them too."

Rita Skeeter left with a squeaky heel, looking pissed off.A smile appeared on Rove Scamander's face, he looked down at his wife, and found that she was also looking at him, her eyes were straight without blinking.

"So Mom puts spices in it when she cooks?" Luna asked. "Dad tried many times, but it didn't work."

"I guessed it. I saw it in the garden when I visited. Your family is also very tolerant of weeds." Rolf Scamander said.He stared at the pair of slightly protruding light silver-white pupils, and asked softly, "Luna? Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are beautiful?"

"Yes!" Luna said affirmatively, "Dad, Mom, Ginny, Firenze, Vanite, Sandora, Teresa..."

"Wait, who's the last name?"

"They're all horsemen."

Rove choked, and suddenly felt Rita Skeeter's feeling.

"You can praise my hair." Luna said understandingly, and Rove glanced at his wife's messy, dirty blonde hair, and couldn't help persuading: "Honey, I think you'd better take care of your hair , like at a wedding, looks good, like flowing gold... of course, no that dress!"

"which one?"

"The one with the rainbow, sequins, and silver unicorn horn headpiece."

"But I like it very much." Luna said with some distress.

"Hey, you can wear it at home, but if it's a particularly grand occasion..." Rove thought about it, seeing his wife's eyes wandering, he felt nervous for a while, the Quidditch World Cup!Tens of millions of people!Merlin!Hap!He hastened to speak:
"Honey, I have a great idea. We should customize a suit for the opening ceremony of the World Cup."

"us?"

"...Yes." Rove's expression was very tragic.

Luna smiled immediately, and she said solemnly: "Oh, you can dress more formally—according to the eyes of ordinary people, yes, that's it."

"No need, I've made up my mind!"

The two walked out of the building at the headquarters of the Daily Prophet holding hands.

"Let's go back to school sometime." Rove's voice said.

"Okay, I miss being there."

"Wearing the sorting hat again, I feel like I have Gryffindor potential..."
