Chapter 161: Neville and Luna

After that, John didn't ask any more strange questions.

It was as if everything just now had been asked in passing.

And the reason John asked these things was, in fact, purely out of his own curiosity.

After all, it was now confirmed that someone had snuck into Hogwarts to register Harry, intending to frame him during the Triwizard Tournament.

John was also very curious about who this person who had snuck into the school was.

He started playing a game of Werewolf in his mind.

Now that he knew Peter had appeared in Harry's dream.

For some reason, John thought of Old Barty.

He thought that Peter might have faked his death for a second time to escape.

Perhaps some details from the past had flashed through his mind, making him subconsciously feel that Old Barty was problematic.

But he had forgotten the specific details.

After all, he had been running around like a headless chicken lately and had no time to remember everything.

He shook his head, suppressing those fragmented thoughts.

The most important thing right now was still the Triwizard Tournament.

The final task was likely to be even more dangerous than the first two, and might even lead to unexpected situations.

After all, that's how it played out in the movies.

So he had to keep his focus on the Triwizard Tournament first.

The game of Werewolf would have to be put aside for now.

Since the specific content of the third task wouldn't be known until May.

For these few months, John continued his usual routine of all-around improvement.

Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and combat training—none were neglected.

Of course, there was also spending time with Hermione every day.

The feeling of being with Hermione was truly comfortable; they could sit quietly together reading books, enjoying the time spent with each other.

They could also discuss magical theory together, or formulate plans for the upcoming challenges; Hermione's intelligence always gave him new inspiration.

Sometimes they could go for a stroll to clear their minds, chatting about the trivial matters happening around them.

After all, they were in different houses and different years, so the things happening around them were different, meaning they always had endless topics to talk about.

It was just a pity that their relationship still hadn't progressed further.

But neither of them seemed to be in a hurry.

Because their current way of getting along was not much different from that of a real couple.

They both enjoyed this rhythm, natural and soothing like a spring breeze.

Finally, the time reached late May.

John was eating lunch in the Great Hall with his friends as usual.

"Good afternoon."

At this moment, Luna walked over.

"Good afternoon, Luna Senior."

John and the others responded one after another, and Luna sat down with a smile, taking a notebook out from her robes.

"Ethan, Neville asked me to give this to you."

"Huh? Thank you, Luna Senior."

Luna handed the notebook to Ethan, who was stunned for a moment before hurriedly thanking her.

"What is this?"

Ryan, sitting to the side, asked curiously.

"Uh, let me see... Oh! It's about some questions I asked Neville Senior last time regarding Bubotuber pus."

"I didn't expect Neville Senior to help me organize such detailed notes."

Ethan flipped through the notes, his eyes full of surprise.

"You're already studying fourth-year material?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Ethan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not really that, I just think this stuff is quite interesting, and Neville Senior explains it very clearly."

John also leaned in to take a few looks.

【Bubotuber pus has extremely strong corrosive properties...】

How does this look like anything interesting at all...

At this moment, Titus also spoke up.

"So, why are you the one giving Ethan the notes from Neville Senior, Luna Senior?"

Luna blinked, her tone calm as she said.

"Because he is helping me look for my shoes."

"Shoes?"

Hearing Luna's words, the group was stunned.

Looking down under the table, Luna was wearing shoes, uh, but they seemed to be men's shoes...

They were a pair of slightly worn black leather shoes, with the laces hanging loosely.

Luna shook her feet gently, her tone still airy.

"My shoes mysteriously disappeared yesterday, and unfortunately, those were my last pair."

"I just ran into Neville, and he lent me his shoes."

"Then he asked me to help deliver these notes to Ethan, while he went to help me find my shoes."

After hearing this, John and the others exchanged glances.

"We'll go help too!"

They said in unison.

Luna revealed a faint smile and said softly.

"Actually, there's no need to trouble yourselves. I'll go find Neville and bring him back later. No need to search; perhaps it won't be long before the shoes return on their own."

"That won't do, how can you be without shoes?"

John and the others had already stood up, looking determined to help.

They had received quite a bit of care from Luna in the past, so naturally, they wanted to help.

"By the way, Luna Senior, do you know how the shoes went missing?"

Luna shook her head.

"I don't know, I think it must have been Nargles."

Nargles?

What are those?

The group was stunned.

But it didn't matter; John had plenty of ways.

He borrowed a hair from Luna and then used a Tracking Spell.

The strand of hair would automatically search for items with the same aura.

Subsequently, the hair floated slowly in the air and then flew out of the Great Hall.

The group exchanged glances and immediately followed.

However, they had just reached the entrance when they bumped into Neville, who was sweating profusely, barefoot, and holding a pair of canvas shoes in his arms.

The strand of hair floated directly toward the canvas shoes in Neville's hands and wrapped gently around them.

"Neville Senior?"

"Oh, it's you guys. By the way, Ethan, did Luna give you those notes?"

The group was stunned to see Neville, while Neville was focused on the notes, still clutching the canvas shoes tightly, his expression as serious as if he had completed a major mission.

Ethan nodded, looking at the shoes in his arms, then back at Neville.

"Senior, did you find Luna Senior's shoes?"

"Yeah, uh, Luna told you..."

Neville scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed smile.

"I found them in the garden tree behind the Great Hall. It looks like someone hung the shoes on the tree..."

The group gave him a thumbs up.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and present the treasure to the princess."

John pointed to Luna's seat in the Great Hall and teased.

He could tell at a glance that Neville had feelings for Luna.

Neville's ear tips turned red, and he coughed lightly.

He walked inside with his head down, and they saw him go up to Luna, hand over the shoes with both hands, and then the two started chatting about something.

John and the others stood at the entrance, smiling at each other.

Titus kicked John.

"You have time to play matchmaker for Neville Senior, why don't you hurry up and confirm your relationship with Hermione Senior."

John: "......" ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
