113. The quibbler
"What do you think?" Luna raised her painting to show William. William's face was very close to the painting and could smell the fragrance on the drawing paper.
"To be honest, except for the eyes, the rest is terrible. The elephant's nose fish's mouth is the same color as the snot." William said with a bitter face. The nose is Luna's idea, and the mouth is William's idea. He raised his head to look at Luna. Luna's silver-gray pupils stared at William's dark blue eyes. Both of them couldn't help laughing. Luna's laughter was very cheerful and not artificial at all.
"Thank you William." Luna wiped the tears shed from laughter and said in a daze. There were too few people who could understand her at Hogwarts. William did not understand Luna's weird ideas very much, but William admired Luna's specialness very much.
"You're welcome, to be honest, it feels very uncomfortable in the ward. I really hope you can come and see me if you have time," William said with a smile. He didn't lie, and he was very happy to chat with Luna. Luna looked dazed and crazy, but in fact she was very smart and interesting, and she couldn't help but feel trust.
"Of course," Luna said happily, "My father is the editor-in-chief of "Singing the Contradictory". Now he is looking for materials in Africa, so I will be at school these two days." Luna took out a not-so-thick magazine from her bag and handed it to William. "You can read it when you have time, it's very interesting." Luna said proudly.
William took over the magazine. The cover of this issue was painted with a silver plate, and there was a shrinking fairy wearing Guling Pavilion clothes on the plate; the cover was written in red words, "Guling Pavilion's greed end", which seemed to be an article satirizing Guling Pavilion's greed.
"Thank you, I will," William said to Luna with a smile.
"It's getting late, I'll go back first," Luna stood up and said to William. Her hair was very long and looked unique at her age. Luna put her wand behind her ears, and the two carrot earrings were shaking. "Goodbye William" Luna's singing voice sounded.
"Ah, thank you for accompanying me, Luna, I have a good time." William said as he looked into Luna's eyes. After Luna and William said goodbye to each other, William lay on the hospital bed again. He picked up the book "Singing the Contradictory" and opened it and read it.
The manuscript on "Singing the Contradictory" is strange, and there are articles of all kinds. On the title page is the editor-in-chief of the magazine, which contains a man with white hair like marshmallows. In the photo, his expression is a bit weird. He does not have a smile on his face like other editors, but rather he looks as if he is confused about something. He is wearing an untreated animal fur. The man's name is Shanofilius Lovegood, who is Luna's father.
"It's an interesting person." William thought, and he continued to flip through the magazine. The English language of "Singing the Contradict" is thequibbler, which means "sophist, a person who is good at speaking out". This newspaper specializes in the sightings of creatures that are said to not exist in the world and some non-mainstream news. It is especially popular in the magic world. Some people say that the sales are much higher than the "Prophet Daily" recognized by the Ministry of Magic. This is the first time William has read this magazine. In the upper class, this kind of chant is not as good as the above. The above speech lacks exquisiteness, lacks logic and factual basis. Some content is considered to be "vulgar", so William has never seen this magazine at home, and William has never read it.
"William, this is really amazing!" Luna said with her eyes wide open.
Then William opened his mouth and swallowed the water ball in one mouthful. William also made a chewing move.
