"A curtain that symbolizes death." Just then, a voice that sounded like a song echoed in the room. Penello stopped and looked back. Above the stone pit, a pair of delicate white feet walked on the cold gray stone steps.
Was that Luna? Lovegood appeared on the steps of the Hall of Death. Her white nightgown fluttered gently with her weightless body. Her light blonde hair was casually draped behind her back, rising and falling with her movements. Her white face seemed to be covered by a layer of silver gauze, and it was the radiant crown on her head that caused this effect. It was shaped like an eagle spreading its wings high in the sky, and the eagle's wings were made of countless sparkling diamonds. Its abdomen was inlaid with a huge sapphire, and below the sapphire hung a perfectly round gemstone that was shaped like a water droplet. The edges and corners of the gemstone reflected a dazzling light. It was Ravenclaw's crown, and it was shining brightly. The blazing blue starlight even cast a faint shadow on Luna's body on the ground.
Seeing Luna slowly walking down the stone steps, Penello stopped walking, turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What are you up to this time?"
"Luna, Allen was dragged behind the curtain by a black mass," Hermione said as she hurriedly took a few steps forward. She wanted to tell Luna about Allen and her own speculations. Although Luna was always crazy, she was Ravenclaw after all. Perhaps she could enlighten her from a different perspective. Besides, Luna and Allen were so close …
"The descending stone steps around the room symbolize the gradual aging of mortals and their gradual approach to death." In this dim and depressing room, Luna's glowing figure made the surroundings even darker. She did not answer Penello's question, nor did she pay attention to Hermione.
Everyone's attention was attracted by Luna's strange appearance. Even Penello himself did not realize that Luna's arrival had temporarily made him forget his original intention of entering the curtain.
Luna's light gray eyes looked down and fixed on the curtain in the arched door. "Although there is no wind in the Death Hall, the curtain has been gently swaying. It is because there are people dying every moment. They pass through the curtain and go to the other side. It is the kingdom of the dead."
Luna did not know if it was an illusion, but although she looked no different from a little girl as usual, it was as if time had left no traces on her. What really made Hermione and Penello feel strange was Luna's eyes. Her eyes were no longer careless and empty as if they could never be focused. Instead, they were as sharp as an arrow in a full moon night, and faintly glowing as if countless stars were contained in them.
"The kingdom of the dead?" Hermione listened carefully to Luna's words, her brain quickly comprehending the meaning of Luna's words. She asked, "Is the other side of the curtain the place where people's souls go after they die? … Is that the underworld? So no one can come back alive … "
However, Luna's attention was not divided between them. It was as if there was nothing else in the world that could attract her attention except for the arched door and the curtain. "This never-ending curtain also has practical power."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luna, who had already walked down the last step, swept her penetrating gaze across everyone in the Hall of Death.
No one could withstand her gaze — even Hermione and Penello, who were used to operating brain seal, were no exception.
Just when the two of them could not bear it and lowered their heads, Luna released them from her gaze. Luna sighed softly. It was not a heavy sigh, but it seemed to carry the power of time, causing everyone to suddenly feel very tired. Although she did not say a word, the brief exchange of gazes was like a long interrogation for everyone.
Luna no longer paid attention to them and walked up to the high platform. Penello looked at Luna's attitude, which reminded her of the arrogance she felt in the tower during the Goblet of Fire last year. Sometimes, she even made Penello feel that she did not even care about Allen. The dissatisfaction in her heart quickly piled up. She had long been dissatisfied with the intimacy between Luna and Allen, and now she was ignored by the other party at this time … Penello raised her head and decided to ignore Luna. She strode towards the arched door. So what if she was high and mighty? She could give up everything for Allen. When she found Allen and Allen knew the choice she made for him …
Suddenly, Penello could no longer move forward. She looked down at her stiffened body in disbelief. She struggled to break free from the invisible restraint, but it was all in vain. Her face flushed red as she helplessly watched her body being thrown off the high platform by an invisible force.
"All mortals will die, but not today." Luna's half-opened light gray eyes glanced at Penello. That gaze made Penello feel that even if she used Brain Seal, her inner thoughts were unobstructed in front of the other party and were all under her control. "Even if you approached the curtain, you would not be able to find Allen in the kingdom of the dead. Only death awaits you."
"Then how the f * ck do you know?" Looking at the high and mighty Luna, Penello, whose body was stiff, roared angrily, "How do you know I won't be able to find Allen if you haven't tried?"
When did Luna become so powerful? Hermione could not help but nod in agreement. She then covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. As an Aura, Penello's strength was the strongest among the three of them. Now that she was in her spider form, the magical resistance brought by the carapace-like armor was obvious in the battle just now. How could she be so easily subdued by Luna without any room to fight back? Luna did not even have a wand!
"Don't worry!" Luna's familiar voice drifted into the ears of the people on the high platform. Her voice seemed to have the power to calm them down. "He will come back. Let him dig up the field of bramble."
"Dig up the field of bramble?" Although Hermione felt that Luna's words were crazy and incomprehensible, she still nodded subconsciously. Luna's words seemed to have the power to calm her down, making her whole body relax.
"You're not coming back?" The veins on Penello's neck were bulging. She tried her best to make her head the only part of her body that she could move slightly.
Hermione jerked her head up. She understood what Penello meant. Luna promised that Allen would come back, but she left her aside … Did she think that she would not be able to come back after entering the kingdom of the dead?!
"There are three things in all things." After that, Luna stopped paying attention to them. Her light blonde hair flowed like water waves as she walked. The moment she lifted the curtain, the blue protective film that appeared on Allen's body appeared on Luna's chest and instantly covered her whole body. Then, the figures of the three women and Luna's figure blurred and alternated as she entered like a TV signal. Two of them were particularly tall, at least ten feet tall.
Penello struggled to open her eyes. The face of the third woman, who was of normal height and wearing a blue robe, was very familiar. It was a very beautiful face. Her facial features were well-defined as if they were chiseled. Her tightly closed lips, half-squinted eyes, and frowning brows all revealed that she was not only beautiful, but also very strict. The other two women, who were wearing white and black magic robes respectively, looked very similar to her, but their temperament was very different. It was as if they were the opposite of light and darkness.
As if she had drunk the Elixir of Blessings, Hermione instantly connected the scene in the Room of All Things and the statues in Ravenclaw's tower. She looked at Luna who had completely entered the curtain and shouted, "The one who wrote R? R is you! You're Loina? Ravenclaw! "
After a moment of silence, the curtain was suddenly lifted. Luna, who had already entered the arch, poked her head out of the curtain. Her light blonde hair slid to the front of her shoulders. She turned her head and winked at Hermione with her left eye.
"Call me Luna."
