Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 146 Go to see the moon and kiss the fish

"I'm fine, very fine, thank you."

He was a little unaccustomed to it, but also a little flattered—no one paid any attention to him except Luna.

Ron picked up a piece of chocolate cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "Do I look bad?"

Luna tilted her head, scrutinized him carefully for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
"You look like you've just been bitten by an invisible gurgling bug, and you're feeling all wet and sore."

"What?" Ron was stunned. "Gurglebug? What the hell is that?"

“Oh, that’s a kind of emotional parasite. It only appears when you’re ignored or misunderstood,” Luna explained earnestly. “They especially like red-haired boys because they have warmer hearts.”

Ron opened his mouth, wanting to say something sarcastic, but when he met Luna's serious gaze, he suddenly didn't know how to respond.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked:

"Then what should I do?"

"They are very afraid of creamy pumpkin juice, just drink a glass and you'll be fine."

Luna smiled, propped herself up on the chair, swung her legs, looked up at the newly renovated ceiling, and ended the conversation on her own, ignoring Ron.

Ron sniffed, feeling he still couldn't understand this girl—he'd heard the other students called her the crazy girl. Ron thought that assessment was spot on.

"You're thinking something rude."

Luna didn't even look at him before suddenly speaking.

"I'd like to ask, what are your thoughts on Valentine's Day? Would you also like to go on a date with Damon on Valentine's Day?"

“Hmm—I haven’t thought about that.” Luna tapped her chin with one finger, her gaze still fixed on the ceiling—Ron followed her gaze and realized that she wasn’t even looking at the ceiling, but rather at something else entirely.

"Because of Damon's influence, the Moon Kiss Pisces becomes very active and irritable, so I will have something very important to do on Valentine's Day."

"what are you up to?"

Ron was getting used to her thought process—anyway, forget about kissing fish or emotional parasites for now, just go along with her topic—since no one else had time to pay attention to him right now—but that was normal, would anyone ignore Damon and focus their energy on him, this little Karami?

Oh, there really is one, isn't it right in front of us?

"At eight o'clock on Valentine's Day, the moon kisses the fish and they will rush to the moon together. I want to sprinkle some starlight water on the rooftop so that they will not be too restless and I can also see their beautiful bodies."

She spoke with such seriousness that Ron began to have some doubts—could such a creature really exist?
No, that's impossible. If such a magical creature existed, it would have been discovered by the students at the school long ago.

"So, even if you could have a date with Damon that day, you would give it up?"

Luna suddenly turned her head and stared at Ron, her big eyes sparkling, making Ron feel inexplicably guilty.

"What. What's wrong?"

“You’re right—but I’ve been thinking about it, and it’s a bit of a shame. Maybe I could go with Damon to comfort the moon and kiss the fish—Damon, would you like to go?”

She suddenly stepped past Ron and called out to Damon, who was standing nearby—a gesture that drew the attention of everyone around her, who all had different expressions, but Luna didn't seem to care.

"Where?"

Ron was surprised that Damon responded so seriously—had he been paying attention to this conversation all along?

Luna wasn't entirely wrong—what kind of emotional parasites cling to neglected people? My great buddy hasn't forgotten his good brother.

“Go see the moon kiss the fish,” Luna called out again.

"When?"

Damon asked casually, but the expressions of the girls around him all subtly changed—everyone stared at Luna with astonishment—she actually agreed so hastily. How could Damon possibly agree to her?
"We need to get back between 8 and 9 pm on Valentine's Day – just before the night tour starts."

Okay, now that's even less likely. Every girl in school wants to ask Damon out, and Luna's offer is such a lame and boring excuse—going to see the moon kiss a fish.

With Damon around, why would any girl need to look at the moon and kiss a fish?
You'd be more likely to let them walk with Damon by the Black Lake and watch the moonlight fall on Damon's face.

At this moment, Ron's feelings were unusually aligned with those of the witches.

then.

The next second, they broke down.

"Okay."

Damon agreed.

"Dangdang!"

There was a sound of bowls and cutlery hitting the ground.

The once lively hall suddenly fell into dead silence, with only the "ear-piercing" noise of bowls rolling on the floor.

Everyone was staring intently at the two people in the arena, except for Luna, who said in a serious tone:

"Okay, it's a date then. I'll be waiting for you at the Ravenclaw Tower."

“Okay, I’ll go.” Damon’s response was equally serious.

'Hey, hey, hey, isn't this supposed to be a friendly situation?'

Ron felt the intense gazes around him—he felt as if the witches' gazes were knives and lasers, meant to meticulously slice Luna apart and then incinerate her with lasers.

Luna, hell lies ahead.
"You...you just agreed to it like that?"

Hermione opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question.

"What, does everyone think I'm very busy on Valentine's Day?"

"It's not that—it's just... so many people want to ask you out. Why?"

She was practically asking why I had to agree to Luna's request.

“You see, that’s a misconception.” Damon smiled at her. “Everyone thinks I’m very popular, and they all think I won’t accept others, so in the end—on Valentine’s Day, I, the most popular person, end up spending it alone.”

Hermione wanted to say something more, but an indescribable feeling caught in her chest—she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that Damon was a bit frivolous.

No, that's too frivolous.

How could you agree to an invitation from someone you barely know? And what's the point of watching the moon kiss a fish on Valentine's Day?

She had never heard of such a thing before.

It's not that she felt anything was wrong.

Yes, that's not how she feels.

Instead, the way Damon acts is not good to all the girls who like him—they like someone who is someone they can easily ask out—this kind of thinking would drive many people crazy.

In fact, some people did think this way—while feeling envious, they also felt their enthusiasm for Damon had suddenly faded a lot—that agreeing to go on a date with Luna showed that our dueling prince's taste wasn't very good either—people without vision are pathetic.

It's like you might be incredibly wealthy, but if you're just a nouveau riche, while others envy your money, they'll also despise your character.

Valentine's Day is approaching, but for some girls, Valentine's Day is already over.
