At this moment, Luna continued: "You will obtain the three holy artifacts, and then become the enemy of the god of death - he will inevitably find you..."

"Luna!"

Upon hearing this, Ginny spoke quickly.

"What did you say!"

She looked at her good friend with some annoyance - 'Death will find you' was not a nice thing to say, it was almost a curse.

"?"

But at this moment, Luna just looked at Ginny with her gray eyes, puzzled.

"What's wrong, Ginny?"

She seemed a little confused.

"you..."

So Ginny was very angry for a moment, but she didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, Ryan, who was ‘cursed’, didn’t care at all. Instead, he asked curiously, “The enemy of Death?”

"If I get the three Deathly Hallows, then according to the legend... I should become the 'Master of Death', right?"

He finished speaking, and then he saw Luna shook her head.

The bells in her hair made a sound again as she moved, a clear and pleasant one.

"Dad says The Tales of Beedle the Bard is missing the most crucial annotation."

"The original story of the Deathly Hallows was that whoever obtained the three Hallows could 'conquer death'."

Luna said as a matter of course.

"Many people interpret it as conquering Death, and therefore believe that the owner of the Deathly Hallows will become the master of Death... but this is a misconception, just like mistaking a Crumple-Horned Snorlax and a Luna Snorlax for the same species."

Her ethereal voice echoed softly in the circular room.

"Oh?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

He felt that he was beginning to enjoy talking to Luna.

Because he always hears some unique and novel statements from the other party.

In fact, he soon heard new and strange statements.

“My mother told me that death is like the leaves falling when the seasons change.”

“Even the immortal mistletoe kisses the earth on the moonlit night of the winter solstice.”

"He who obtains the three sacred objects obtains a net—he spreads it so that he can gather the falling leaves in the moonlight."

"He could collect the fallen leaves and preserve them, or bring them back to life through a spell, or burn them into a bonfire on a winter night to warm the cold."

Luna said softly.

"Oh, that sounds romantic."

This made Ryan think that her mother, the lady named Pandora, must be a poet in the Muggle world.

But at the same time, he also understood Luna's worldview.

"So—you and Mr. Lovegood believe that whoever obtains the three Hallows will be eligible to 'gather the fallen leaves.'"

"What about the God of Death... If He really exists, what do you think He is?"

he asked curiously.

Although before coming here, he never thought that he would talk about death with such a little witch.

"The God of Death... He is the aspect of death, the earth waiting for the leaves to fall."

“He is the natural destination of fallen leaves—they decay and dissolve in the earth, eventually returning to the soil.”

Luna said this as if she was singing.

"So...the man who conquers death and gathers up fallen leaves is an enemy of the earth—for he keeps the leaves from falling to the ground."

"So, the God of Death will regard the owner of the Deathly Hallows as his enemy."

So Ryan thought about it.

“That’s an interesting explanation.”

He said sincerely.

At this moment, Ginny, who was standing by, was stunned.

Although she had long known that Ryan was special, she had never expected that Ryan could actually talk so much with Luna - and it was all about a fairy tale.

"Luna, haven't you always wanted to see Ryan? I remember you always said you wanted to ask him for something?"

So, Ginny tried to change the subject.

"Oh yes."

And as she wished, she saw Luna nod.

The little witch with a clear mind turned her head and looked at Ryan: "I have something to ask of you."

"You said."

Ryan naturally responded softly.

Then...

"When the three Hallows find you, and you become the master of death, I think you might be able to meet my mother."

Luna's words made Ginny's eyes widen adorably once again.

Why did it come back again?

"..."

At this moment, not only Ginny, but even Ryan was a little dazed.

"So... you want me to bring your mother back to life?"

Then he made the reasonable guess - a little witch who lost her mother wanted her mother to come back to her... This was perfect reason.

So, Ryan almost started thinking about how to speak without hurting Luna.

He didn't think Luna's imaginative claims were true, nor did he think he would actually obtain all three Deathly Hallows.

Apart from anything else, the Elder Wand belongs to Dumbledore, and to obtain the Elder Wand, one must defeat or even kill the headmaster head-on... Ryan thinks he can never do that.

But the next moment...

Luna's words made Ryan stunned.

"of course not."

Luna said matter-of-factly, "Death is death, and it cannot be undone."

"I just want to ask you, if you see her...I hope you can sing a song to her for me."

And there is no doubt about it.

These words were completely beyond Ryan's expectations - he had never thought that a little witch like Luna's age could have such a clear and carefree view of death.

So it took Ryan a full while to come back to his senses.

"song?"

he asked.

"Yeah—my mother's favorite song when she was alive."

Luna nodded.

Then she hummed a song softly.

"Weep not for those who sleep, for they have only wandered into the mist, and the web of time hides their intertwined paths."

"The wind will bring back news, new vines will grow in the forest, and the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes."

"When a giant snake sheds its wounded hide, when a brown badger digs out new life from the frozen soil, when a lion's roar leads all the beasts to cry out, when an eagle soars over an illusory castle."

"When a child who has left his hometown returns to his homeland, when all the beautiful things are reflected in his empty heart."

"Everything will be reunited at the mistletoe-woven door."

Her voice was so ethereal and clear that the song seemed to become clearer as well.

But at this moment...

"!!!"

Ryan's heart was shaken like never before as the song was sung.

"you..."

His voice was almost trembling as he spoke.

"This song—I mean…what's it called? Your father and your mother…where did they hear it?"

It is difficult to describe Ryan's surprise at this moment.

Because he had heard this song.

At last year's sorting ceremony, in the Sorting Hat's memory - he clearly heard Hufflepuff singing this song.

Even though the lyrics have changed slightly, it's the same song overall!

So at this moment, Ryan was naturally more curious than ever before.

"This song?"

After hearing this, Luna seemed a little happy: "You think it sounds good too?"

She said in a cheerful tone, "It has no name, but Daddy said it is the penultimate chapter of the Eternal Poems by the Prophet Mopsus."

“He and his mother bonded over it, and it was their favorite piece.”

"Eternal Poetry?"
