Mysterious Journey
Chapter 787: A Brand New Hogwarts (Part 1) (Short Chapter!)
Of course, compared to the other girls in Ravenclaw, she didn't get up particularly late that day. When Erina finished dressing, there were still a small number of girls burying themselves in their soft beds.
Unlike the other three houses, breakfast in the Great Hall of Hogwarts wasn't so appealing to many older girls.
"I dreamed that Dad came to school last night..."
Before Erina could tidy herself up in front of the mirror, Luna Lovegood murmured, "In my daze, I felt like he even tucked me in. You came back so late last night, was it because..."
"Hmm... a delusion. Mr. Lovegood has no reason to come to Hogwarts."
Erina blinked, smoothing her little cowlick while answering with a straight face.
"You're probably just a little homesick. Besides, we're sleeping in the girls' dormitory, and at Hogwarts, boys can't enter the girls' dormitory without permission—"
Erina didn't plan to involve Luna in the "Special Containment Procedures Foundation" matter too soon.
On the one hand, because before Luna Lovegood has fully grown up, too much intuition, or inspiration, can easily lead to danger. More importantly, there was a previous agreement between Erina and Xenophilius Lovegood, who had "enlisted his daughter in the army"—while most people were living in the sunlight, Xenophilius promised to hide in the shadows and serve the Fairy Queen, so that his daughter could live in a rational, ordinary world.
Newt Scamander may never understand that almost all of his doubts yesterday were within Erina's predictions.
From the very beginning, the seemingly fair seven-person voting system based on the O5 Council was designed and arranged according to an absolute controlling stake of four to three—apart from Dumbledore, LeMay, and Newt, the other three people had already communicated privately before the meeting to ensure that in case of disagreement, someone could stand from a "neutral" perspective and bring out the optimal solution.
This was just like the question that Lovegood raised when the situation reached a stalemate last night.
In addition, in Erina's vision, Xenophilius Lovegood should try to remain on the opposite side of her as much as possible most of the time, to ensure that the vote wouldn't be a divisive 6-to-1 situation.
And as a "mole," Xenophilius naturally received some small privileges.
For example, whenever the "Tarot Society" meeting ended, after Luna Lovegood was completely asleep, he could briefly go to the dormitory to see his little moon, accompanied by Hogwarts house-elves.
Of course, this kind of deal between adults wasn't suitable for Luna to know.
"But, I still feel like..."
"Don't feel like it, just listen to me, I'm starving—"
Under Luna's dubious gaze, Erina flicked the girl's forehead, stuffed the diary she had placed on the pillow into her bag, and pulled Luna straight out of the room, heading towards the common room.
"Huh? What happened?"
As soon as they reached the Ravenclaw common room, the road ahead was blocked by other students.
It must be said that this situation was quite rare. After all, compared to the lively Hufflepuffs, the Ravenclaw girls were usually more used to chatting in small groups of three or five, rather than crowding together like this.
Luna frowned, standing on tiptoe and looking over the crowd on the stairs.
"That's strange, even the Quidditch house team tryouts aren't now, are they? Besides, it's only the second day of school, what exactly..."
Before she could finish speaking, she stared in surprise at the notice board in the common room, where a very conspicuous notice had just been posted.
"Eh?! How is that possible? All previous course arrangements canceled?! All students go to the Great Hall to await new announcements from the professors, and older students prepare to re-select subjects? This... oh my goodness! No wonder—"

Ah, there is only a small chapter today~I will try to make up for it tomorrow! That, the main thing is to sort out the plot, not because I went to participate in a game confidentiality test~(Sincere eyes, poke hands~)
