"Luna?"

"Oh, good evening, Maka."

When Maka came to the Hogwarts library and walked quietly between two bookshelves, he immediately saw the long, warm, pale golden hair.

This color was so familiar that Maka subconsciously called out the other person's name.

But even Maka didn't expect that when Luna, who was holding a book and reading it carefully, heard someone calling her, she turned her head and responded very naturally.

It gave Maka the feeling as if she were saying hello to friends meeting for afternoon tea, and it was nothing like the scene of meeting in a library in the dark night.

"Well, good evening..." Maka nodded dumbfounded, secretly thinking that this girl was too casual, "By the way, I see you've been dozing off lately, is it because you've been coming here at night?"

"Yes." Luna looked at Maka and blinked slowly, "I think I should learn more useful things that I might need in the future..."

After hearing this, Maka couldn't help but move forward with great interest, looking down at the thick book in Luna's hand.

"It's good that you like to study," he said as he watched, "but night should be the time for bed - in fact, as soon as this semester started, I tried to resume my normal schedule as much as possible."

While casually speaking words of persuasion, Maka took a rough look at the contents of the page.

It can be seen that this is a theoretical magic book that studies magic and the mind, and at least on these two pages, it basically discusses some connections and examples between various spells and the caster's mind.

This direction is actually good, and Maka has also read this book. However, the discussion above is still too rough, and most of the details are incomplete, and can only provide readers with a rough reference.

"I remember that you seemed to be reading a similar book last time?" Maka thought for a moment and asked casually, "Do you want to learn something 'useful'?"

"It's the Legilimency spell." Luna suddenly showed a hazy smile, "I've seen a description of it in your information - this spell can let me know what I want to know."

"Oh, really?" Maka said slightly surprised, "But I remember that I only wrote some introduction to this curse... You don't want to figure it out by yourself, do you?"

When compiling the information given to R.A. members, Maka was naturally selective in choosing spells.

Magic like Legilimency has a similar effect to Veritaserum, which is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, so its existence itself is quite special.

It is only because the Legilimency Curse is very difficult to learn and the learning materials are not widely circulated that it has not been added to some relevant regulations amendment proposals like the Veritaserum.

Take this magic spell as an example. Some of the magic spells that are difficult to learn and practice are also controversial. Maka has removed them from the pile of information from the very beginning.

However, Luna seemed a little strange about Maka's words.

"Can't you do your own research?" she asked doubtfully.

"Of course not!" Maka reluctantly took the book from her hand and closed it gently, "Learning magic spells is not always without danger - have you forgotten about your mother?

?”

"No..." Luna shook her head slightly, "I will be careful, and I have no intention of trying to use it... I am just studying its principles."

When talking about her mother, Luna's eyes were less confused. But just like the night when Maka first met her, she did not show any unnaturalness about her mother's death.

"And," she paused, her voice became lighter, "Slowly, I seem to be able to understand what my mother felt at that time - magic is wonderful, and it is also profound. We can unlock a secret...

Find the purest joy in this confusing process.”

Having said this, Luna reached out and stroked the book in Maka's hand, and said leisurely: "I think it's right. I may indeed be better at this type of magic..."

Hearing what Luna said, Maka's heart skipped a beat.

"What?" he asked immediately and hurriedly, "What is 'it'?"

Since I had just heard something from Old Eun this afternoon, and under the old man's last reminder, Maka was very sensitive to everything around her.

Especially, what happened to Luna.

"Is that 'it'?" Luna tilted her head, "That little gray-green eagle, didn't it also come to find you? I remember what it said..."

"Well?"

As soon as he heard that it was the Bronze Eagle, Maka couldn't help but feel a little relieved - what he was most worried about at this stage was undoubtedly the existence of Haierbo, and everything else had to be placed in a secondary position.

only……

"Oh, it's it..." Maka was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook her head decisively, "Luna, if you believe me, try not to come into contact with it. If it takes the initiative to appear in front of you,

, you just bring it to me directly, do you understand?"

"OK?"

Luna was a little confused by Maka's words, but she quickly agreed. Listening to her question-like response, Maka couldn't help but have a smile on her face, whether it was happiness or helplessness.

After thinking for a moment, Maka put the books in her hands back on the bookshelf, and then gestured towards the library door.

"Let's go!" he said, "If it is just a written study of Legilimency, as long as it does not involve practical applications, it is still safe... However, this may not be the case for some magic spells!"

Maka took Luna and continued as she walked forward: "Remember what I said in class? All words must have magic power, and any combination of words must have the interference of multiple magic powers...

"

"In fact, even Muggles may cause unknown dangers when they study some occult sciences."

As they talked, the two of them walked out of the library door one after the other. As Maka turned around and closed the door, she specifically asked:

"If you have any ideas in the future, it's best to talk to me or other professors first, okay?"

"Yeah." Luna then nodded slightly.

During these short few steps, Maka noticed that Luna actually listened very carefully, which made Maka feel a little surprised.

You know, although this girl has grown up a lot in recent years, her early dazed look can be said to be much less common. However, her self-absorbed and careless temperament was still very obvious not long ago.

What made her change so "sensible"? Was it the night in the library that touched her in some way?

"Well, come on! I'll take you back to the common room—"

After carefully sensing Luna, Maka didn't find anything strange, so she had to admit that she might be a little suspicious.

"I wonder what the problem with the door knocker will be later?"

Maka followed Luna, listening to her happily talking about some insignificant things, and couldn't help but temporarily put aside her inner hesitation.

This blonde girl has this "magic" that allows her to relax anytime and anywhere and enjoy a rare leisure time.

The two of them walked along the corridor, turned two corners, and soon came to the spiraling tower stairs. Until then, Maka's pace was almost as brisk as Luna's.

But at this moment, a voice from far away suddenly came faintly from the window opening on the outside of the stairs.

"Wow-"

When Maka heard this familiar tone, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Maka," Luna suddenly stopped by a window hole, tilted her head and listened, "did you hear it? What was that sound?"

"Oh, yes...I heard it just now." Maka said with a subtle expression, "Maybe it's the sound of wind blowing through the cracks...This is not uncommon in nature."

Listening to it from the castle side, it was actually quite faint, but in the dead of night, I could still hear it vaguely from the window.

"Let's go! It's time for you to sleep..." Maka waved her hand and said, "Actually, I'm a little sleepy too."

Seeing what Maka said, Luna no longer paused, and the two continued to walk to the upper floor. Not long after, they arrived at the door of the Ravenclaw common room.

As Luna reached out and knocked lightly on the door, the quiet sound quickly echoed in the corridor and dispersed. After a while, the bronze knocker on the door suddenly moved again.

"You open the door first, I'm here to take her back to the dormitory to sleep." Upon seeing this, Maka behind Luna urged her, "Can you do your job first?"

However, now that the bronze eagle has awakened, the transformation process will not end just because of Maka's words.

Soon, the small gray-green figure appeared in the sight of the two of them, and it immediately fluttered its wings and jumped over Luna, jumping to the top of Maka's head.

"Quack, you don't have to stay at the door to do your job," it said with a nonchalant smile, "Of course, the process is the process, Lord Ying, I will not break the rules just because of acquaintances... Listen up, this time the problem is

yes……"

"Huh?" Just as he was talking, he was suddenly startled, "What kind of things are making ghosts and ghosts outside? Isn't it annoying at night?"

Upon hearing this, Maka sighed feebly, took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and opened the door to the Ravenclaw common room.

"Luna, go have a good sleep! Good night -" After smiling at the girl, Maka rolled her eyes and looked in the direction of her head, "You don't have to stay at the door to ask questions.

But you have already taken down the 'door lock', do you still need to ask questions?"

"Gah!" The bronze eagle immediately patted Maka's head with its wings and suddenly said, "Yes!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Maka watched Luna walk into the lounge and closed the door for her.

"Come down! This time, I have a lot of things to ask you!" (To be continued)
