"No, the 'Singing Backwards' book has a detailed record of this Alkes person." Luna shook her head, saying softly. "Maybe what he beat wasn't a Norwegian Green Dragon, but a real Hell Dragon."
"That's not right, I've seen the dragon type book!" Ginny looked at Luna, confused, and said, "There's no Hell Dragon type in there at all!"
"The picture book was also made by wizards, but even wizards haven't been to every corner of this world." Luna turned and sat on the magic stone slab beside her, taking off her shoes. "How can they prove that Hell Dragons don't exist?"
"Hey, Luna!" Ginny frowned, saying, "Aren't you going a bit too far? Being invited to Professor Zickrein's room is a great honor! How can you take off your shoes?"
"But they're uncomfortable to wear." Luna blinked, her tone vague, "I think Professor Zickrein probably thinks so too, right?"
"I'm okay." Zickrein smiled, not minding her rude behavior. "But doing this in public isn't right. People will say you're weird."
"So, is that why Anna and the others say I'm a gross crazy girl, because I take off my shoes in the common room?" Luna said, realizing something.
"They actually dared to call you that?" Ginny's eyes widened, filled with anger, "Those jerks, that's too much!"
Although she also thought it was a bit wrong for Luna to take off her shoes in the common room, it didn't mean she could ignore her friend being insulted.
"Ah, it's okay." Luna blinked at her, saying softly, "I'm used to it. They're just blinded by Fidget Gnats, I can understand them."
"Here we go again, with your weird magical creature words!" Ginny felt a headache, saying speechlessly, "Don't mention these things in front of Professor Zickrein, okay?"
It'll lower your score! Silly girl! Professor Zickrein isn't like those clueless students, he definitely knows that Fidget Gnats aren't real creatures!
Ginny ranted to herself.
"There are also a lot of Fidget Gnats in front of you, Ginny." Luna answered her seriously, saying, "You should drink more butterbeer, they're afraid of that smell."
"I'm scared too!" Ginny yelled, unable to take it anymore. "To you, is everyone bothered by Fidget Gnats?"
"Not really." Luna shook her head, her gaze turning to Gerald on the side. "There are no Fidget Gnats in front of Professor Zickrein. But, there's something else..."
"Oh?" Gerald smiled, asking, "Then what is it?"
"I see the sun, moon, and stars, they surround you." Luna stared at Gerald's eyes, saying as if singing, "They praise you, they express their submission to you."
Pfft.
Ginny almost spat out her drink, feeling really bad. The sun, moon, and stars expressing submission to Professor Zickrein?
Even the legendary Merlin probably didn't have that level of respect, right? What's going on with Luna, when did she learn this skill of exaggerated praise?
Wait, has she always had this skill? It's just that normally, no one is worthy of her saying this? Only when she meets someone she likes does she unlock this path?
Ginny's body stiffened, her gaze towards Luna becoming complicated. If that's really the case, this girl is probably something else.
She thought she was just a little lamb, but turned out to be a big wolf in disguise?
"Is that so?" Gerald's expression didn't change much, still with a gentle smile on his face. "That's quite interesting."
He didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, just vaguely saying "interesting." But in his heart, he was impressed that this girl truly had intuition, and could see the truth that ordinary people couldn't see.
The sun, moon, and stars praised him because Gerald, who had become a god, had gained the authority of "Astrology." With the blessing of this authority, all the stars in the world were his people, how could they not submit to him?
"Yeah, I think so too." Luna nodded, saying, "Those stars are very beautiful, I want to stay near them."
"So, you brought your friend to follow me?" Gerald flipped his wrist, taking out two cups of tea as if by magic and handing them to them. "If it were a professor who wasn't easy to talk to, you would have been given a bad grade."
Ginny took the teacup, saying carefully, "Th, Thank you, Professor Zickrein."
"It's okay, as long as I can see these stars." Luna smiled gently, the corners of her mouth slightly curved. "Ah, is it Matsuri flower tea? Very fragrant, very pure Matsuri flower scent."
"Good that you like it, you should go back to class after you finish drinking." Gerald sat back in his chair at the desk, saying lightly, "If I remember correctly, you have Potions class this afternoon, right? Professor Snape doesn't like people being late."
"I feel like he doesn't just dislike people being late, he dislikes everyone." Ginny took a sip of flower tea, saying involuntarily. "Of course, we Gryffindors are the worst."
"That's related to his past." Gerald opened his notebook, starting to list the materials he needed to build his magic circle. "But undeniably, his professional knowledge is impeccable."
"Past?" Ginny's eyes flashed with strong curiosity, she liked listening to gossip.
"That's not something you should worry about, Miss Ginny." Gerald naturally couldn't take Snape's embarrassing student days and spread them around, after all, that was someone else's personal privacy. "There are five minutes left until your class starts."
"Okay, I think we should leave." Not hearing any gossip, Ginny was a little disappointed. But she didn't say much, and bowed to Gerald. "Thank you for your hospitality, Professor Zickrein." Saying that, she planned to pull Luna away.
But at this moment, Luna suddenly spoke up, "I see that tower! A blood-red tower, standing tall in Hogwarts castle! The pure white holy sword will intertwine with the tower..."
