Hi, Harry! A familiar voice sounded from behind Harry. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Neville! said Harry, relieved, turning to see a round-faced boy pushing his way. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Hello, Harry, said a girl with long, large, misty eyes to Harry from behind Neville. Luna, hi, are you okay?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Very well, thank you, Luna said. She held a magazine in front of her chest with both hands; the large letters on the cover showed that there was a free pair of phantom glasses inside. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Then what, is it doing well? Harry asked, he had a good impression of this magazine, and he accepted an exclusive interview with this magazine last year. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Oh, of course, the volume has been rising. Luna said happily. Let's find a seat, said Harry, and the three of them set off along the carriage, past a group of silent students watching them. At last they found an empty compartment, and Harry rushed in, thanking God. \u00261t;/p\u003e

They're even staring at us, Neville pointed at himself and Luna, because we're with you!\u00261t;/p\u003e

They will stare at you because you helped me escape. Moreover, violating school rules is an exciting thing in itself. The gang of the Daily Prophet will not let go of any clues.\u00261t;/p\u003e

Oh, yeah, I thought Granny was going to be mad at the news, said Neville, but she was really happy. Said I was finally starting to look like my dad. She bought me a new wand, look! He drew his wand and showed it to Harry. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Cherrywood, with a core of unicorn hair, he said triumphantly. We thought it might be one of the last wands Ollivander sold, and he disappeared the next day—oh, come back, Rifle! He crawled under the seat to catch the toad , it is struggling to jump to freedom again. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Are we having a d,a... party this year, Harry? asked Luna, tearing out a pair of psychedelic-looking glasses. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now that we've got rid of Umbridge there's no need for that, is there? Harry sat down. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Neville crawled out from under the chair and hit his head on it. He looked very disappointed. I like d.a...! I learned a lot from you! \u00261t;/p\u003e

I enjoyed the party too, Luna said quietly. It feels like I have a lot of friends.\u00261t;/p\u003e

Luna often talked about uncomfortable things like this, and Harry felt a squirming mixture of pity and embarrassment. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Hey, Luna, I mean... Harry remembered Fan Lin's previous decision. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Before he could respond, however, a commotion erupted outside their carriage doors; a group of fourth-year girls chattered and laughed quietly on the other side of the windowpane. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Go and tell him! No, you go! Then I'll do it! One of them, a brave-looking girl, opened the door and walked in. She had big black eyes and prominent eyes. Chin and long black hair. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Hi, Harry, my name is Romilda, Romilda Vann, she said loudly, confidently. Come and sit in our carriage? You don't have to sit with them. She deliberately whispered to Harry loudly,

Pointing to Neville's ass and Luna. \u00261t;/p\u003e

They're my friends, said Harry coldly. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Oh, the girl looked very surprised. Oh. Okay. She backed out and closed the door behind her. \u00261t;/p\u003e

People think you should have cooler friends than us, Luna said, again with her embarrassing candor. \u00261t;/p\u003e

You're cool, Harry said immediately, There is no one among those people who trusts me and will help me resist. They didn't fight side by side with me.\u00261t;/p\u003e

It's very kind of you to say that, Luna said with a smile, then pushed the phantom glasses up the bridge of her nose and looked intently. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But we didn't face him, Neville said as he emerged from under the seat, his head covered in fluff and dust, clutching a seemingly resigned Raffle in his hand. \u00261t;/p\u003e

You did. You should have heard what my granny said about you. 'That Harry Potter and Vallein Al is more backbone than the entire Ministry of Magic combined!' She would give anything Let you be her grandson...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Harry smiled unnaturally, and changed the subject to o as quickly as he could. . 1. on the grades. \u00261t;/p\u003e

When Neville repeated his grades aloud and began to doubt whether he could study with only a pass. e. . t. Harry just looked at him during his Transfiguration lesson, but didn't really listen to him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Like Harry's, Neville's childhood was ruined by Voldemort, but Neville didn't know how close he was to having Harry. The prophecy could have been directed at either of them, but Voldemort chose Harry as the target of the prophecy for some inexplicable reason. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If Voldemort had chosen Neville back then, now Neville should be sitting opposite him with a lightning-shaped scar, bearing that heavy prophecy... Is it really like this? Would Neville's mother sacrifice her life to save him the way Lily protected Harry? Surely she would...but what if she didn't have the chance to stand between Voldemort and his son? So is there no such thing as a right man at all? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Wouldn't the chair Neville was sitting in be empty, would Harry never have a scar on his forehead, would kissing him goodbye be his mother instead of Ron's? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Are you all right, Harry? You look odd, said Neville. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Harry woke up with a start. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Sorry—I—I'm nothing—I just... Harry looked at Neville with some embarrassment. In fact, such thoughts appeared in Harry's mind more than once. Ever since he knew that choice, and After all the prophecies, Dumbledore's explanation and Fan Lin...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Fan Lin felt as if he knew about it a long time ago, or...\u00261t;/p\u003e

You got a worm in your head? Luna interrupted Harry's train of thought abruptly, and gazed sympathetically at Harry from behind her huge tinted glasses. \u00261t;/p\u003e

I—what?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Phantom worms...they're invisible, they float in through your ears and confuse your mind, she said. I think I just felt one flying here. She clapped her hands in the air, as if striking a large invisible moth. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Harry and Neville glanced at each other, and quickly started discussing about Quidditch. Compared with the bunch of incomprehensible things in Luna's mouth, Harry would rather be fighting in the mud in his Quidditch robe. Get out or something. \u00261t;/p\u003e
