"It's the crazy girl Luna." Ron's mouth was faster than his brain. He directly called out Luna's nickname, then quickly covered his mouth and pouted in embarrassment.

"Hello, Luna, I'm Hermione, and this is Lamia, Harry and Ron." Hermione nudged Ron hard, then introduced the people with a smile.

"Are you going to Hogwarts?" Luna pretended not to hear what Ron said. She didn't care about the nickname. Although she didn't like it, she could feel that Ron had no ill intentions.

"Why don't you go in?" Luna pushed the luggage rack towards the wall. "Be careful," Hermione warned, covering her eyes, afraid to see Luna fall to the ground.

But when the front wheel of the luggage rack hit the solid wall, Luna realized something was wrong and stopped before hitting it.

"Strange, it's clearly not time yet." Luna took out a peculiar pocket watch from her arms - it was surrounded by several colorful birds. She looked at the dial for a long time, very puzzled, and even wanted to try again.

This time Harry stood in front of her, "I tried, look," Harry pointed to the redness and swelling on his forehead, and finally made Luna give up the idea of ​​trying again.

"The wall must be broken. How are we supposed to get to school now? It's the first day of school."

Harry scratched his head, visibly annoyed.

"Be careful." Luna took out a pair of colorful owl glasses at some point. Wearing them on her eyes didn't make her look funny, but rather more lively.

"There are a lot of harassment horseflies around you. They will disturb you. Wait for me to drive them away." Luna waved her hand back and forth above Harry's head. "Okay, do you feel better now?"

"She's a crazy girl indeed." Ron muttered softly.

"Much better, thank you, Luna." Harry didn't actually feel anything special, but out of politeness, he continued to follow Luna's words. However, he didn't realize that he could laugh now, which was completely different from his previous irritable and scratching appearance.

"Do you want to take the bus with me to school? I hope they haven't left yet." Luna said softly, her voice like moonlight, hazy in everyone's ears.

Except for Luna, no one else suggested any other solution. Arthur had driven Ron's family car to the Ministry of Magic, and the train to Hogwarts had probably already left. So, after discussing it, they decided to try their luck with Luna.

"We're here. That's great. They haven't left yet. We can take these cars to school." Luna carried the luggage bag and came to the front of two carriages without fronts. She walked over gently and touched the air.

"Merlin's headless ghost, what is she doing? Should we really trust her?" Ron hid behind Harry and Hermione in fear. Lamia didn't have much luggage and was looking at the docile black winged horse in Luna's hands with her arms folded.

They have dragon-like heads, bat-like wings, and silvery-white eyes without pupils. Their bodies are long and thin, with skin clinging to their bones so that every bone is clearly visible. Their tails are long and black, and their wings are broad and powerful.

Ron's shouting attracted Lamia's attention. She turned her head and found that although Hermione was comforting Ron, she obviously did not understand Luna's behavior.

Among the people present, only Harry and Lamia remained calm.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you can't see them." Luna chuckled and walked up to them to explain, "They are Thestrals. Only those who have experienced death can see them."

After saying that, she observed a few people. Lamia was calm, Harry was a little disappointed, and Hermione and Ron had obviously never heard of this explanation. They rubbed their eyes in surprise, but still could not see the Thestrals that Luna was talking about.

Luna understood what was going on and without further ado, she placed her luggage into the carriage first and then jumped on. "Hurry up, or the Thestrals will leave."

Lamia jumped up and reached out to pull Hermione, and Harry and Ron got on another carriage. Hermione looked very uneasy throughout the whole process.

He would lift the curtain from time to time, and would be startled every time he saw himself flying high in the sky in a carriage without a front, but he still insisted on looking outside.

"Hermione, the harassment horseflies around you are about to eat you." Luna was still wearing the colored glasses, and the colorful light reflected from the lenses shone on Lamia's cheek opposite, making her look more lively.

Lamia opened her eyes when she heard her words, and her red pupils stared at the top of Hermione's head. She didn't see any harassment horseflies, but Luna probably didn't lie, Hermione was indeed in a bad mood.

"You can't see it, don't worry, just spray this." Luna took out a bottle of purple potion from her bag, "Go away, harassment horsefly." She sprayed it at Hermione while chanting the spell.

Hermione didn't dare to move. If Luna hadn't had a serious expression, she would have thought she was being pranked.

"Alright." Luna lifted the bottle and looked at it. "There aren't many left. I hope there aren't so many nuisance flies. They're really annoying."

Neither Lamia nor Hermione responded. One didn't like to talk, and the other didn't know what to say. This was beyond Hermione's knowledge. She secretly made up her mind to read all the books in Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Luna didn't hear the two people's intention to respond. She was busy taking out the newspapers from her bag. She wrapped them up and put each one together according to the date.

"Is this the Daily Prophet?" Hermione leaned over curiously and saw the colorful font on it at a glance. She was stunned. This was obviously not the newspaper. The Daily Prophet was surprisingly rigid.

"This is 'The Quibbler'. My father is the editor-in-chief, and I save them every day." Luna unfolded the newspaper in her hand, and there were indeed a few big words written on it - The Quibbler, Editor-in-Chief: Xenophilius Lovegood.

Lamia glanced at it, uninterested.

Hermione was quite interested and started discussing it with Luna, and soon the girls' laughter could be heard in the carriage.

At this moment, the carriage was hit hard and shook. Hermione lost her balance and fell to the bottom. Lamia reached out and caught her.

After helping the frightened Hermione, Lamia lifted the curtain and found that Harry's carriage was shaking violently. The Thestrals pulling the carriage seemed to be in great pain and made a shrill scream.

"Someone is attacking the Thestrals."

Luna said.

Lamia gestured around the carriage. "Dobby, I command you to cease attacking the Thestrals."

Sure enough, just after Lamia finished speaking, the painful Thestral stopped struggling, chirped, and flew steadily again.

Harry finally had the chance to draw aside the curtains. "Is it Dobby?" He was holding onto the window with his hands, his face pale and he looked badly beaten.

Lamia nodded, then ordered Dobby to show himself.
