[HP] Luna, you are in for a big deal

As expected of the busiest fifth grade, Luna was overwhelmed by a lot of homework from the first day of school, even though she was the Ravenclaw with the highest average grade among the four houses.

But no matter how busy she was, she still had to participate in the Quidditch selection. Luna was surprised to see Qiu Zhang's handsome side. At least she organized the selection competition in a very orderly manner, and everyone who came to participate listened to her words.

"Oh, really, that's much better than Harry's side." After listening to Luna's talk about Ravenclaw's selection, Hermione said lightly.

It was two weeks after school started that Luna and Hermione had time to sit down by the lake and gossip.

"Well, I know how you like Quidditch," Luna shrugged. "All I want to say is that Cho Chang is actually a lot better than last year."

"Really," Hermione still said in an understatement tone, "I wonder if I'm much better at seeing my friends' mistakes?"

"Uh, this..." Luna still often sees Qiu Zhang and Margaret together, "Since the informer doesn't mind that she looks uglier than Qiu now, and is willing to stand with Qiu, That's okay, at least Qiu can have her as a cheap friend."

"That's Cho Zhang's problem. If she can accept the informer but can't accept me cursing the signed parchment, then it's impossible for Harry to be with her."

Luna suddenly thought of something, it seems that Hermione never supported Cho Zhang, "I see, compared to Cho, you have always supported Ginny, even though Harry doesn't like Ginny at all."

"That's not certain," Hermione said confidently. "Harry won't fail to see how charming Ginny is now. She is very popular, and Harry's love for Cho is just a passing moment."

"A momentary love, so three years?"

Hermione sighed. "Well, I mean, from our point of view, don't you wish it was Ginny who was with Harry? Cho doesn't know Harry at all."

"Well, I don't want to talk about Harry's emotional problems anymore. He shouldn't even need others to worry about this."

"Oh, he doesn't have time to think about feelings now," Hermione suddenly became a little annoyed, "he's busy studying hard!"

Luna froze for a moment, and was taken aback after confirming that Hermione was talking about studying hard, "Isn't it? He's possessed by you?"

"That's not true!" Hermione complained, "He is now the first in the grade in Potions, and Professor Slughorn likes him very much, saying that he is a genius in potions."

"You must be joking. With your grade, it is impossible for others to get the first place."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said... Well, it should be like this, but Harry's current Potions textbook is not the same as the normal one. I can't deny that the original owner of that book was a little clever. He Annotated a lot of his own opinions in the book, and Harry got first in Potions just by looking at those things."

Just as Luna was about to ask about other things about the book, Ron's voice came from behind.

"Why, are you complaining about this to Luna too?" Ron laughed loudly, "Haha, Luna, don't worry about Hermione, she doesn't like the prince, because the prince's Potions is better than her!"

"Prince?" Luna looked back, and both Ron and Harry came here.

Then Harry showed Luna his Potions textbook. The book was tattered, and Harry carefully reminded Luna to turn it lightly.

Luna simply turned a few pages, but she didn't dare to read more, because Hermione was staring at the book angrily.

"This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince," Luna closed the book. "Well, this...he's no big deal."

In fact, Luna wanted to say that the Half-Blood Prince is very smart, and it only takes a few pages to see his unique insights in Potions. If Harry gets an excellent grade with this book, it is actually not a bad thing.

"Hey, Luna, just say it if you think it's amazing, don't dare to tell the truth just because Hermione doesn't like her." Ron laughed.

Hermione jumped up immediately, "What do you mean? Have you forgotten that you were hung up by him last night?"

"Hang it up?" Luna was taken aback, "Can this book do this?"

"Oh, no! I didn't mean to," said Harry hastily. "It was just a little spell written on it that I accidentally cast to hang Ron up."

"Yeah, a small spell. It was just a small spell that the Death Eaters hung up the Muggles in the year of the World Cup!" Hermione said angrily.

"Sorry, can I interrupt first?" A girl's voice came from the side.

Luna was surprised to find that the girl was one of the roommates she saw every day but never spoke, Mia Bull.

To be honest, Luna lived in the same dormitory with her for five years without saying a word, at least Lara Alcott often ridiculed her, and Sophie Bonnard was also in the first grade After getting along for a long time, even Leanna Sharp said something inexplicably when they searched their dormitory because of Umbridge last year.Only this Mia Bull, Luna even doubts whether she recognizes herself, because she has never seen her do anything other than study, but she is very good, and she is also the new prefect of Ravenclaw this year .

"Professor Slughorn asked me to tell Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood to go to the Potions Vault tomorrow afternoon, and Professor Slughorn invited you to attend His banquet." Mia Bull said indifferently, as if reading a very boring textbook, "Please also tell Ginny Weasley, goodbye."

The four of them froze for a while, until Mia walked away, Hermione said, "Luna, is that girl from your school? I remember she is the new prefect of the fifth grade, don't you know her?" "

"Let's meet," Luna said hesitantly, "I'm not sure, but we live in the same dormitory."

"Then why didn't she say hello to you alone?" Hermione found it incredible.

"Uh..." Luna didn't know how to answer, but luckily Ron changed the subject immediately.

"Okay, you all go to the Potions class party." Although Ron pretended to be indifferent, it couldn't stop his depression, "Get ready, I'll help you and tell Ginny gone."

Ron's performance made all three of Luna feel embarrassed.

"Well, Ron," said Harry, "by the way, our team has Quidditch practice tomorrow!"

"What?" Ron was a little surprised, "But, no, isn't there no training scheduled for tomorrow?"

"Who said that? I'm the captain, and I can do it!" Harry patted Ron and laughed.

Luna and Hermione smiled at each other, Harry and Ron's friendship was obviously more important than Slughorn's messy party, and Harry obviously thought so too.

But Harry and the three of them obviously forgot the friendship with another friend.

"You don't have to come next year, as long as you finish this year's class, I have nothing to do with you." Hagrid said angrily.

Luna really wanted to swear that she would definitely continue Hagrid's magical creature protection class next year, but her weight alone obviously couldn't cover up the harm the other three people did to Hagrid.

The three of Harry no longer took the Protection of Magical Creatures class this year, which resulted in this year's Hagrid not having a single student above the sixth grade. To be honest, Hagrid's class is indeed not that popular, but Luna is sincere. like.

"Well, Hagrid, if you don't want to teach me, then I will have to teach myself next year's Protection of Magical Creatures class." Luna shrugged.

Fortunately, Hagrid's mood improved a lot after that, and maybe he felt that there was at least one student who really liked his class.

When it was December in the blink of an eye, Luna almost thought that this year was eaten up by something strange, because she really couldn't think of what happened in the past few months, it seemed that she lived in the In the library, apart from an occasional visit to Slughorn's party and a few Quidditch practices, there is nothing else. Even after the first game with Hufflepuff, Luna I don't feel anything.

"Gosh, I didn't even know it was December." Luna grabbed a ball of snow from the side of the road.

"It's a good thing you didn't come out in autumn clothes." Hermione laughed.

Today is the first time Hogwarts organizes a trip to Hogsmeade this year. Luna, Hermione, Harry, and Ron are together.

"Why can't I see Ginny again?" Ron complained dissatisfied, "Did she go out with Dean again?"

"Come on, what can you complain about?" Hermione rolled his eyes at him. "Ginny and Dean are normal boyfriend and girlfriend. It's a rare day to go to Hogsmeade. Of course they are together."

Harry just followed without saying a word. Luna remembered that a few days ago, Hermione had proudly told herself that Harry was paying more and more attention to Ginny now.

"What? Jealous?" Luna asked Harry in a low voice.

Just like after Luna asked this question on the train, Harry gave her another look, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just thinking about something, and Dumbledore gave it to me."

"What? Is it difficult?"

Luna knew that for the past few months, Harry had been taking private lessons with Dumbledore, basically learning about Voldemort's youth. Originally, this should not be told to other people, but Dumbledore allowed Harry to tell a few Someone he can trust, Luna is honored to be one of the people Harry can trust.

"It's more troublesome. Slughorn has a memory of talking with Voldemort when he was a student. Dumbledore asked me to get that memory." Harry said.

"Oh, then you should have a good relationship with Slughorn," Luna smiled, "You shouldn't happen to have something every time he meets, he already likes you very much, ask for things from him It's not hard for you, is it?"

Harry nodded, "I know that, so I'm looking forward to the next meeting, and I really hope I can have a chance tonight."

And such an opportunity came quickly, and when the four were at the Three Broomsticks, fat Slughorn also came here.

"Oh! Look, it's Harry!" Slughorn looked flattering. "It's really rare to see you outside of the classroom."

"Hello, Professor." Harry greeted warmly, his enthusiasm was a little exaggerated, it seemed that he really wanted to have a good relationship with this guy.

Slughorn smiled happily when he saw Harry, and he was even happier when Harry greeted him so enthusiastically, "Before the Christmas holiday, I will have a small party, only my best Only the students can participate, so don't be in trouble this time."

"Of course," said Harry quickly, "I'll be there on time."

"That's good," Slughorn laughed, seeing Luna and Hermione, "Oh, Miss Granger and Miss Lovegood are going too, preferably with a partner, Maybe then I need to dance."

Slughorn left with a smile after speaking. He seemed to have completely ignored Ron who was sitting at the same table with the three students he had invited.

"Okay, you all have to go, now even Harry has to go, and he doesn't have to practice any Quidditch anymore." Ron thought with a gloomy face.

Luna also felt that Slughorn's ignoring Ron so directly was a bit partial, but he just said that he could bring a dance partner, so any of the three people present would be willing to invite him.

"Oh, Ron, don't you rush to complain," said Hermione, "we can take people, and of course I want to go with you."

Ron was very surprised, and he stuttered, "Me, and me? But, hasn't that Cormac McLaggen been at Slughorn's party all the time? Doesn't he like you?"

"Who said he likes me?" Hermione frowned. "Besides, even if he... I don't have to like him. Do you want me to go to the party with him?"

"No, of course not." Ron said anxiously.

Both Hermione and Ron seemed completely oblivious to the existence of other people, and Luna and Harry sat facing each other with the same thought that the table should be left alone.

"We've been here for a long time, how about, Luna, let's go back first?" Harry suggested.

"Good idea." Luna immediately agreed.

Both Ron and Hermione blushed suddenly and stopped their awkward conversation.

"Let's go back together," said Hermione, "it's too hot today, oh no, I mean too cold."

The other three tacitly did not laugh at Hermione's slip of the tongue.

When the four of them were walking towards Hogwarts Castle, two girls walked in front of them, seeming to be arguing about something.

"It's Katie," said Harry, recognizing one of the girls. "What's wrong with them?"

Luna also knew that girl, Katie Bell, who was one of Gryffindor's Chasers, a pretty good player.

"Don't stop me! Lini!" Katie yelled.

"You're crazy, you don't even know about this thing—" the girl named Lini said anxiously, but was interrupted immediately.

"I know! Of course I know!" Katie still yelled, holding a parchment bag in her hand, "The man asked me to give this to someone! I'm going to do it!"

"Is Katie such a temper?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"Of course not," said Ron. "She's the gentlest on the team. I hit her on the nose with a ball once, and she didn't blame me. She even taught me how to keep the goal."

When the four of them were about to step forward to mediate, the parchment bag was ripped open during the dispute between Katie and Lini, and the contents fell to the ground.

"Told you—" Katie yelled, stooping to pick up something on the ground, but her yelling was cut off in an instant, and she flew into the sky so fast that everyone else Didn't see how she got there.

Katie Bell was floating in the air with her hair disheveled, and she looked graceful, but a few seconds later, when Katie screamed, it became a little scary.

Luna and the others stood on the ground in fear. They watched Katie screaming in mid-air, and they were all petrified. Katie screamed like that for a while and suddenly stopped, and then she fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah!" Now, the screaming turned into Katie's friend Lini, who looked at her good friend who fell to the ground in horror, and couldn't help stepping back.

Luna was about to rush up to see Katie's situation, and at the same time, there were three other people around her.

"Don't touch her!" Hagrid roared from behind, and he rushed in front of several people in a few steps and stopped them, "Back back, back up, I'll come and see her."

Hagrid approached Katie seriously, and squatted down beside her, "It's terrible, my God, I'm going to take her to the hospital, you guys don't touch that thing!"

The parchment bag that Katie held in her arms just now lay quietly on the snow. Half of the contents inside were exposed. Although it was only half, Luna recognized the thing at a glance, it was a necklace!And it was the necklace she was quite familiar with, the expensive and frightening necklace in "Bokin-Bock".

Lini had curled up on the ground, sobbing, "I reminded her, I reminded her..." Hermione walked over and took her in her arms, trying to comfort her.

"Harry," Luna whispered, "that necklace is the one we saw in Diagon Alley, and the expensive one is almost like something that won't sell."

"Are you sure?" Harry was taken aback, but then became agitated. "It's Malfoy! It's Malfoy!"

"What are you talking about, Harry, what does this have to do with Malfoy?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Malfoy killed Katie!" Harry said excitedly, "This is what he asked Bokin to keep, and he wanted to use Katie to bring it into school!"

Harry remained agitated as the Luna four and Lini, who was still crying, were taken to Professor McGonagall's office.

According to Lini's explanation, she and Katie were in the Three Broomsticks bar, but after Katie came out of the toilet, she had the parchment bag in her hand, and then screamed very abnormally to give it to Someone in school.

"It's Malfoy!" Harry shouted impatiently after hearing Lini's words, "Malfoy must have cast the Imperius Curse on Katie in the toilet and asked her to bring this thing in! It must be him !"

Both Hermione and Ron looked at Harry in surprise. They had always been very disbelieving in Harry's guess that Malfoy was a Death Eater. Luna didn't have any particular doubts or beliefs about this matter, but she felt When someone denies Harry, it is better to choose to support him unconditionally, because after all, she agreed to Sirius.

Professor McGonagall also seemed very suspicious, "Let's not say that Mr. Malfoy can't enter the women's bathroom, and he didn't go to Hogsmeade at all today. He has been with me the whole time, and he has been detained."

"What?" Harry froze for a moment. "He's here? No, no, I have evidence—"

"Okay, Potter," Professor McGonagall said impatiently, "you all go out quickly, I need to study this necklace with other professors."

"No, Professor," Harry said anxiously, "Where is Professor Dumbledore? I want to see him!"

McGonagall was very dissatisfied with Harry's attitude, and said unhappily, "He's not at school now, get out quickly, I don't want to say it a third time."

"Harry, can you stop saying that Malfoy is a Death Eater?" Leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Hermione said, "He's only 16 years old, and Professor McGonagall also said that he didn't Not to Hogsmeade."

"It could only be him!" Harry exclaimed. "That necklace must be the one he was looking at in Knockturn Alley! He must have done it!"

"But judging from Katie's situation," Ron said cautiously, "the necklace seems to carry a deep black magic, and Malfoy is unable to do this step."

"Maybe the necklace itself carries dark magic?" Harry said, "Can you stop denying my words? I'm not unfounded!"

"What you're saying isn't evidence at all," said Hermione. "How do we believe that?"

Seeing that Harry's mood was about to become irritable again, Luna quickly said, "I believe it! Harry, I completely believe what you say."

Harry froze for a moment, then slowly calmed down, "You have to believe it, because you also saw what happened in Knockturn Alley with your own eyes."

"Yeah, so I believe it."

Luna didn't know if this appearance was completely irresponsible and perfunctory, but she did show absolute trust in Harry and obeyed Sirius' instructions. In addition, she actually agreed with Harry's words, but she still There's no definite evidence for that.
