Hogwarts in the shadows

What should I do if my best friend is too responsible?

What else can be done.

Just stay with me!

Hephis was dragged helplessly by Hermione through the narrow aisle of the train for a full half hour.

However, there were really no emergencies that required her to step in and resolve.

Finally, she reluctantly agreed to go back to the box to rest.

When Hephis pushed open the door of the box, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Draco was holding a handkerchief, carefully wiping some sticky liquid off Harry's face.

Neville, on the other side, had dark green mucus all over his face and body.

He shook his head, trying to squeeze the juice out of his eyes.

Luna Lovegood continued to read The Quibbler calmly, even though the magazine was also stained with the dark green liquid.

Draco saw Hephesus coming back and withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

"What happened?" Hermione pulled out her wand and whispered, "Clean it up!"

All the dark green liquid disappeared, and the stench in the air was gone.

"It's my Mibu Mibao."

Neville pointed to a strange plant on the small table that looked like a small grey cactus, covered with boil-like bumps.

"I was just curious, so I poked it lightly with the tip of my quill, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"I'm... sorry," he apologized again to the people around him.

Then he quickly stood up and sat next to Draco, giving up his seat.

Luna looked at them from her upside-down magazine, but her eyes were fixed on Hephes.

Hermione got to know Luna because of her good relationship with Ginny.

Eventually she and Luna became close friends.

"Luna, how was your summer vacation?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, very good." Luna said in a daze.

Her eyes were still locked on Hephaest. "Yes, it was pleasant. You are Hephaest Dam."

"Hello, Luna." The magic power in Hephis's body involuntarily radiated towards Luna.

He quickly controlled his magic power and took it back.

This girl gave him a strange feeling, and for the first time, his magic power began to spread out of control.

Luna seemed to feel the magic of Hephis. She reached out her hand and touched the air, muttering to herself:

"How... did it disappear?"

Hermione looked at Luna's behavior and thought she was getting confused again.

"Luna, what's in today's Quibbler?"

She originally thought that the content on The Quibbler was a bunch of garbage.

But since life has become busy,

She found that if she watched it without thinking, it would relax her tense nerves.

Therefore, she and Luna had a common topic.

And the more she got to know Luna, the more she thought the girl seemed crazy.

In fact, his mentality is extremely peaceful, and he can always see through the essence of things.

If she wasn't afraid that Luna would get confused, she would have wanted to pull Luna into the shadow to help her.

"Do you want to watch it with me?" Luna invited. She knew Hermione would like to watch it too.

"Of course!"

So the two of them sat together, reading magazines, and laughing from time to time.

Hephis also took out a book and began to read slowly, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

There is something wrong with this Luna.

Neither his shadow soldiers nor his own shadow could merge into Luna's shadow, which had never happened before.

Even when his shadow approached, Luna would subconsciously look down at the ground.

Hephis secretly cast a few detection spells and found that Luna was just an ordinary girl and there was nothing unusual about her.

Since I can't figure it out, then don't try.

He collected his thoughts and concentrated on reading the book.

The train continued to move north, and the weather was like a child's face, changing at any time.

The raindrops fell intermittently as if they were equipped with a switch.

Finally, the train slowed down and there was a noise all around.

Everyone was busy packing up their luggage and pets and getting ready to get off the bus.

Hephis stood up with Hermione. As a prefect, he needed to maintain order.

Hephis also stood up along with Hermione, as the prefects needed to supervise order.

But Hephis didn't have to do anything.

He went to that station, where the little wizards were pushing and shoving and making a lot of noise.

They all immediately became good boys and got off the train quietly and orderly.

As always, Hagrid directed the freshmen to take the small boat to the castle.

Although he still wore the same sharp leather jacket, his hair and beard had returned to their former messy state.

I don't know how things are going between him and Madame Maxime.

Hephis was going to pay some attention to it, as he was still very interested in matchmaking.

Once all the students got off the train, the prefect's task was completed.

Hephis opened a circle of light that was intertwined with gold and red, and instantly brought Hermione to the castle.

In the foyer, the light from the torches dyed the surroundings red, and the footsteps of students echoed in the empty hall.

They walked across the flagstone floor toward the two doors on the right that led into the Great Hall.

Inside the auditorium, the four long college tables were still filled to the brim.

Through the dark ceiling you can see the night sky outside.

Countless candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the silvery ghosts dotted throughout the auditorium.

Nearly Headless Nick, no, now it should be called "Nick with the Head Lost".

He was excitedly telling every young wizard he met about his heroic exploits in the polo matches with the Hunters.

He noticed Hephis walking into the auditorium and immediately floated over and stopped in front of Hephis.

He first took off the head and held it beside him, then bowed respectfully, "Thank you again, Mr. Dam."

Hephis smiled slightly, "Sir Nicholas, you're welcome. And you've helped me before."

"No, no, I am only showing you the way. This is a service that anyone in the castle would provide to a young wizard. It cannot compare to the kindness you have shown me."

Nick said seriously, "I want to take you to a place, but I wonder if you have time."

Hephis was a little surprised, but it wouldn't take much time to go over and take a look.

"Okay, but it doesn't seem possible right now."

"Of course, of course. After all, the start-of-term party cannot be missed."

Nick thought for a moment and said, "When are you free? Let the ghost pass on a message. I'll be waiting anytime."

"Okay, Sir Nicholas." Hephis nodded.

"You can just call me Nick." Nick bowed respectfully again, then slowly backed away and returned to the Gryffindor table.

On the long staff table.

Dumbledore sat in the golden high-back chair that belonged to him, and a new face appeared next to him.

No need to ask, it must be the new "consumable" of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

PS: Luna is also a very popular character, so we will use Luna in all conversations instead of Lovegood.

PS: I have arranged a particularly awesome identity for Luna, so stay tuned.
