Ethan walked out of Hogwarts Castle with the bones wrapped in white sackcloth. Feeling the warm winter sunshine, Ethan, who had been in the dark secret room for a long time, felt like he was in another world.

He asked Filch to borrow a shovel. Filch wanted to say something to Ethan, but after seeing Ethan's sullen expression, he finally didn't say anything, so he quickly lent the shovel to Ethan.

Ethan carried the shovel, hugged the bones of Salazar Slytherin and Lilia, and came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Ethan carefully selected a feng shui treasure location and began to dig a hole. This location was on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. One could see the sparkling black lake.

As for the ashes of the Muggles, Ethan chose to bury them far away from Salazar. Presumably, they didn't want to be neighbors with their murderers.

For Salazar Slytherin, this may be the best ending.

After doing all this, Ethan sat on the exposed root of a big tree in the Forbidden Forest. He was in a state of confusion.

Ethan never imagined that another witcher had come here besides himself and had been killed by Salazar Slytherin for experimental reasons.

Ethan didn't know how to think about this.

"Professor Ethan, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy?"

Suddenly, an erratic voice like singing came from behind.

As soon as Ethan turned around, he saw Luna staring at him with big silver eyes. Luna stood behind him and looked at him curiously. Next to her stood a little pale golden unicorn.

After a long time, the little unicorn has grown much taller and walked steadily. Seeing Ethan looking at him, the little unicorn snorted and said hello.

"Luna, why are you coming to the Forbidden Forest again? I said the Forbidden Forest is dangerous; you shouldn't come here alone." Seeing the little unicorn lovingly licking Luna's fingers with its tongue.

Luna has an innate affinity for magical animals and can get along well with almost all of them.

Especially after he cleaned up the spiders, the argument that the "Forbidden Forest is dangerous" was unsuitable for Luna.

Ethan had to consent to Luna appearing here.

Luna sat beside Ethan without seeing the outside world: "Professor Ethan, it looks like you are depressed; Nargles surround you." Luna said and waved her hand in Ethan's ear, trying to help Ethan drive away the Nargles.

"Yeah, I encountered some unhappy things." Naturally, Ethan couldn't tell Luna about it; he could only vaguely say he was unhappy.

"Yeah, there are a lot of them around you. Have your shoes been stolen, too?" Luna was still waving her hands hard and trying to help Ethan drive away the harassing flies.

"What do you mean? Are your shoes stolen?" Ethan frowned and looked at Luna's feet, only to realize that Luna was not wearing shoes in the winter outdoors.

The snow-white and slender feet just stepped on the snow-covered ground, and ten slender toes were frozen red.

Ethan was a little helpless; Luna deserved the nickname "Crazy Girl"; she dared to walk through the snow to the Forbidden Forest without wearing shoes.

Seeing this, Ethan hurriedly searched his bag and quickly found a pair of boots that he had spared, but it was evident that the size of his shoes was unsuitable for Luna.

Ethan took out his wand and lightly tapped it. The boots trembled twice and then began to shrink rapidly and soon turned into a pair of small and beautiful brown snow boots.

Ethan grabbed Luna's little foot, still stepping on the ice and snow, and involuntarily put on Luna's snow boots. Luna didn't say anything, obediently letting Ethan put on her shoes.

"Luna, did another classmate bully you?" Ethan said to Luna seriously. In the first class, Ethan discovered that a student was bullying Luna.

Ethan also specifically told the Ravenclaw dean, Professor Flitwick, about this, and Professor Flitwick assured Ethan that he would pay attention to this matter.

Ethan made a remarkable observation in the following classes, and her classmates did not bully Luna.

"No one bullied me," Luna said, shaking her head.

Then she approached Ethan mysteriously and said in a low voice, "The Wrackspurts did it."

Ethan curled his lips helplessly, and Luna started talking about the set of non-existent creatures. Luna was very fascinated by this kind of thing.

"Luna, if a classmate is bullying you, you must tell me or Professor Flitwick," Ethan said seriously.

Luna nodded, indicating that she knew, and then she shook her feet and observed her new snow boots. It seemed that Luna liked these shoes very much.

Ethan and Luna sat side by side, looking at the sparkling black lake.

"Death is a normal thing in human life." Luna, who was sitting beside him, said suddenly.

Ethan glanced at Luna in surprise. This little witch has an empathetic intuition and even realizes why Ethan is sad.

"My mother blew herself up during a spell experiment when I was nine." Luna calmly told the story of her mother.

"Dad was mad with sadness during that time, and I was also unfortunate, but difficult days will always pass, and time will eventually wipe everything," Luna said in a singing tone.

"Thank you for comforting me, Luna." Ethan was a little moved. He understood that Luna was already doing her best to comfort herself.

Luna suddenly hugged Ethan's arm and leaned her head up. "I used to comfort him like this when my father was sad because of what happened to my mother," Luna said softly.

Ethan didn't speak, and the two of them quietly looked at the black lake in the distance with this posture.

The little unicorn found no place in the middle and anxiously held its head against Ethan's back, trying to allow himself to join, and screamed anxiously.

Luna's comfort made Ethan feel better, and Luna found this too.

"It's good you are finally happy," Luna said happily.

"Yes, thank you, Luna." Ethan thanked.

"I should thank you for the shoes you gave me." Luna was quite satisfied with these boots.

Then Ethan and Luna stepped on the creaking snow and walked towards Hogwarts Castle together.

The little unicorn followed the two of them and kept sending Luna and Ethan to the exit of the Forbidden Forest before they stopped and squeaked twice to bid farewell to the two of them. Luna also waved hard at the little unicorn. She waved goodbye.

"It seems you have a good relationship with the unicorns," Ethan exclaimed.

"They are all very friendly and easy to get along with." Speaking of this, Luna narrowed her eyes happily.

The two talked about how to make friends with magical animals and returned to Hogwarts Castle together.

Back in the castle, Luna politely said goodbye to Ethan and walked towards the lounge of Ravenclaw Academy.

Ethan also plans to return to his office to study Salazar Slytherin's notes.

"Professor Ethan! Professor Ethan!" Two urgent calls came from behind him.

Ethan turned his head to see Hermione waving her hands anxiously as if she was running, and behind her were the disgraced Harry and Ron, who were downcast, like two elementary school students who had made mistakes.
