Chapter 305: Demon-Guard Glasses

Professor Slughorn's party wasn't just for lunch; there was afternoon tea and a chat session too.

In any case, they stayed in the compartment until evening, nearly reaching Hogwarts.

Only then did Professor Slughorn dismiss them, letting them return.

John, who had originally intended to go find trouble for Zabini after things were over, was left in no mood for it.

Along the way, it was basically just the professor asking everyone about their situations and then reacting differently.

The most typical case was Belby; upon hearing that he didn't have a good relationship with his uncle, the inventor of the Wolfsbane Potion, he simply lost interest in talking to him.

Hermione, who joined halfway, was a pleasant surprise to him.

Whether it was her academic ability, her quick thinking, or that natural temperament, she was eye-catching.

Plus, she was John's little girlfriend; the two could be said to be each other's safety net.

At least one of them was bound to soar to success.

In short, he was very satisfied with John and Hermione.

"John, do you want to follow Zabini and see what's going on with him and Malfoy?"

After leaving Slughorn's compartment, Harry suddenly grabbed John and asked him.

Hearing this, John looked at Zabini not far ahead, and finally shook his head.

Forget it, they couldn't possibly discuss any important intelligence on the train.

It'll be enough once I arrange for Rita to track Malfoy.

Hearing this, Harry suddenly realized.

He had also long known that Rita, like Sirius, was an illegal Animagus.

Letting her do this task was indeed simpler and more convenient.

It just so happened that he had leverage over her, so he might as well use it.

Harry nodded.

"Fine, then I won't worry about it."

"Let's keep trying to find ways to get on good terms with Professor Slughorn."

John rubbed his temples and complained.

"Ah, I really don't want to come back; it's too boring."

"Luckily I dragged Hermione along, otherwise I might have wanted to leave after half an hour."

Hermione rolled her eyes prettily and poked him in the waist.

"Don't make it sound like I'm just a tool to help you kill time; I was constantly speaking up for you two, you know."

That was indeed true.

Hermione was the one who talked the most with Professor Slughorn, praising John and Harry in every word.

She was constantly raising their ranking in the professor's heart.

"Ahem, alright, it's about time to get off the train, let's go."

John had to change the subject.

Soon the train arrived at the station, and they returned to Hogwarts once again.

Aurors were already waiting at the platform in advance.

Two of them were responsible for guiding students to check their luggage and personal belongings.

Professor Fuliwei and Professor Snape had also come.

And before entering the campus, one could clearly see a translucent protective barrier covering the surroundings of the school.

It rippled like water waves.

The students entered the school through a small opening at the bottom.

The atmosphere was indeed completely different from before.

"Professor, what are you doing?"

John came to Professor Fuliwei's side and asked him.

Professor Fuliwei was registering something on a list; seeing John approach, he didn't hide anything.

"Oh, it's John."

"Registering the students' arrival status; over there, Severus is checking everyone for Dark Magic or anything unclean."

John glanced at Snape not far away and nodded.

This job was indeed suitable for Professor Snape, the old man.

"Alright, you lot, don't block the way here, hurry inside."

Professor Fuliwei waved his hand, checked off their names, and told them to hurry in.

John and the others then headed to the next checkpoint: Professor Snape's inspection.

He saw that the few of them didn't have any special expressions.

He just coldly raised his wand and swept it across them one by one, like a metal detector.

When John was being checked, he even chatted happily with Professor Snape.

"Professor, I heard that this year you finally got your wish and became the Black Magic Defense Professor."

"Are you happy?"

However, Professor Snape didn't even lift an eyelid, too lazy to bother with him.

"Eh? Why aren't you smiling?"

"Are you naturally not fond of smiling?"

John tilted his head and continued to harass him.

Professor Snape finally glared coldly at John.

"Shut up."

John didn't want to shut up and wanted to continue teasing him, but just as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Hermione.

"Say less, you idiot."

"Oh."

After being lectured by Hermione, John obediently stopped talking.

After confirming there were no issues with the inspection, Professor Snape finally let them pass.

Only then did they arrive at the Nightsteed carriage.

Upon arriving, they happened to see the backs of Titus and the others, and Luna was there too.

John was the first to step forward and call out.

"Hey, Luna Senior, and you guys too."

Hearing John's call, the four of them turned their heads in unison.

Upon seeing the four of them, John immediately stopped his forward momentum.

Hermione and the others behind him also paused, then detoured to walk around.

"John, I'm leaving first, you guys chat."

Hermione once again ruthlessly abandoned John.

Just like last semester when they wore cloaks and went out to act crazy...

Because at this moment, the four of them were uniformly wearing a pair of very ridiculous glasses...

The lenses were half blue and half red, the frames were very exaggerated fluorescent pink plastic, and there were two pairs of decorations extending out that looked like wings.

They looked like four colorful, mentally deranged owls.

"I... I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person..."

John turned around and wanted to follow Hermione away, but was grabbed by Titus and Rui'an Yisen.

"What do you mean by that!"

"Are you looking down on your brothers!"

Titus directly performed a "strong man locks man" hold, while Rui'an and Ethan each grabbed one of John's arms.

"Luna Senior, hurry and put them on him!" Titus shouted as he saw John lose his ability to resist.

"Okay, John, don't move, okay."

Luna then walked up to John and took out a pair of glasses identical to theirs from a copy of the *Chàngchàng Fǎndiào* magazine.

"Wait, wait, wait a second!"

Seeing that the exaggerated glasses were about to be put on his face, John hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong, John?"

"... Are there any other colors..."

"None, oh."

"..."

In the end, John still stood in front of the Nightsteed carriage with the other four, wearing the same glasses.

Looking just like a punk band.

According to Luna's introduction, this thing is called Demon-Guard Glasses, which can see some things invisible to the naked eye.

Of course, the function is limited, purely for entertainment.

"So, why do we have to wear this thing?" John asked.

"I don't know, Rui'an told me to wear it." Ethan replied.

"I don't know, Titus told me to wear it." Rui'an responded.

"I don't know, Luna Senior told me to wear it." Titus said.

"Hmm? Then I don't know either, they insisted on wearing the same glasses as me." Luna laughed.

John: "..."

The three: "..."
