Ivan slept awkwardly all night and had many dreams.
He first dreamed of returning to Godric's Hollow 12 years ago. On that dark and silent night, he watched as Voldemort killed Harry's parents. He wanted to help them, but he was helpless.
Next, he dreamed of Ginny again, the girl fell to himself in front of him weakly, the body was as cold as a corpse, the young Voldemort——Tom Riddle stood beside her, with a sneering and proud face, mocking his trick, In the face of absolute strength, it is simply unbearable.
Ivan pulled out wand(s) strenuously, but was blown away by Tom Riddle in an instant, and the next second, a green light flew towards himself, and he suddenly sat up from the bed.
The dream awoke, and Ivan was soaked with sweat all over his body.
The sky outside was just getting bright, he lay down gasping again, and it seemed that he realized that he was too weak, and he was not a Voldemort's opponent at all.
Fortunately, he still has time, and more fortunately they have Dumbledore, the only wizard(s) that Voldemort is afraid of.
Ivan gradually settled down. To improve his strength, he needed to follow a step-by-step approach. He could n’t learn advanced magic as soon as he touched it, and he became comparable to Voldemort and Dumbledore. The urgent task now is to consider how to defeat basilisk and to deal with that diary.
"basilisk seems to be afraid of roosters' crowing, should I ..."
Just when Ivan was cranky, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling coming from the corner of the room and someone broke in.
"Lumos!" Ivan jerked up the wand(s) at the head of the bed, and looked at the front with vigilance.
This is a brown-green creature covered with a dirty pillowcase, a house elf, which is tidying up the room. The light on Ivan wand(s) made it extremely frightened, staring at the pitiful eyes, and stood stupidly for three seconds before issuing a depressive scream and disappearing into the air.
Colin rolled over on the four-poster bed next to it and continued to sleep.
Ivan couldn't sleep anymore. He sighed and re-thought Voldemort. Perhaps in the eyes of Voldemort, he was as humble as the house elf just now.
This kind of feeling is very bad. Ivan simply put on robe and quietly got up from the bed.
The Hogwarts in the morning was exceptionally quiet. The portraits on both sides of the corridor were sleeping, and no one could see them. Ivan walked in the empty castle, not knowing why, he suddenly wanted to see the sunrise.
Ivan held his breath and walked straight up the stairs. There was the end of the castle. He had never been there before.
When he climbed the last step, Ivan saw a large round house with elegant arched windows on the wall, decorated with blue and bronze silk around it, a piece of old Glossy wooden boards with eagle bronze knockers asking questions.
It was the entrance to the Ravenclaw public lounge. Ivan was not close. He walked to the balcony protruding from the left window, from which he could see the beautiful scenery outside the castle.
The next second, Ivan noticed that someone came here one step ahead of himself.
A breeze blew, and the sun slowly climbed from the Forbidden Forest edge horizon. With the golden sunlight, Ivan saw a beautiful blonde girl sitting on the edge of the balcony. The girl has an indescribable ethereal temperament, a fairy who puts the Buddha to fall in the dust.
"Good morning, Ivan!" Luna turned around calmly, as if expecting him to appear here long ago.
"Good morning, Luna!" Ivan was relieved, walked to her and sat down, "What are you doing here?"
"I am writing an article looking for Crumple-Horned Snorkack and I am going to submit to your newspaper."
Ivan does n’t know how to answer. It seems reasonable that someone should contribute, but he should be happy, but the thought of “how to find Crumple-Horned Snorkack” would make him unhappy.
"In the morning, inspiration is often the easiest to appear!" Luna put the parchment aside and looked at Ivan with her foggy eyes, "Are you also looking for inspiration, right, you see Seems to have something to worry about? "
"Well, that's right!" Ivan hesitated and continued, "I just sighed that in the face of cruel reality, human power is too small, even if you know everything, you can't change anything."
Ivan's is vague. He is not sure if Luna can understand it.
The two stared at each other quietly for a while before Luna used the unique trance sound, "The power is not absolute. It is also a kind of courage to be able to face your cowardice and lowliness, is n’t it?" /
"Yeah!" Ivan started, courage is the most important thing.
"However, compared to strength and courage, I believe in wisdom more." Luna uses singing-like tones, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."
This is the second time Ivan heard this sentence from Luna. He checked it when he went back yesterday. This is the last sentence of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw before her death. It has been sung by future generations for centuries.
Maybe this is a famous saying, but Ivan does not know how this sentence can help to defeat Voldemort.
"My mother once followed me. Before embarking on this path of life, it is important to choose the right direction. Then no matter how many voices of doubt and opposition are filled, we must go on unswervingly and pursue My own faith, fearless and difficult, my heart towards the sun, blooming my own light. "
On the tower of Hogwarts towering high into the clouds, Luna's voice was like a cloud beside him, and it passed lightly, leaving Ivan in a trance.
"Direction ?!" Then he reacted and asked subconsciously, "Your mother?"
"Yes!" Luna simply, "She is an excellent witch(es) and likes to experiment. One day her spell failed, and then she died like that. I was nine years old."
"Sorry, Luna!"
"It's okay, Ivan!" Luna took a breath, "I've seen her after all, although sometimes I still feel uncomfortable, but I still have a dad. What I think is that you are not alone, what is the difficulty You can come out and solve it together. "
"Your right, I am not alone." Ivan nodded if he understood.
In fact, Ivan has always had a deep sense of anxiety since knowing that he traveled to the magical world of Harry Potter. He always put himself on the opposite side of Voldemort's and ignored the existence of others.
On hearing Luna, he remembered Harry, Ron, Hermione, and everyone. In the original book, Harry finally defeated the powerful Voldemort with the help of everyone. Even if it paid a great price, it finally won.
Now that he is here, he can surely avoid those tragic things.
"Trust your friends, maybe they ca n’t do anything terrifying, but they will constitute a lot of ordinary, almost negligible but essential details." Luna's voice passed in time, "Helga Hufflepuff's famous saying , I think he is very reasonable. I sometimes think, maybe everyone should be assigned to Hufflepuff, he seems to be the smartest of the four founders. "
"Thank you, Luna!" Ivan feels much better.
"You're welcome, would you like to go to the common lounge of Ravenclaw with me?" Luna stood up. "We can read 《The Quibbler》 together. It is a magazine written by my father, which may not give you some inspiration. "
"Oh, no, I'm hungry and want to go downstairs for pudding!" Ivan shook his head. Although he was very grateful to Luna and very interested in the Ravenclaw public lounge, he didn't want to see 《The Quibbler》.
