Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 271
c271 plan
Unlike the previous situation where the Carrows asked all the colleges to conduct statistics, Hermione contacted Hufflepuff’s prefect Susan Burns and Ravenclaw’s new prefect Luna Lovegood to secretly conduct a re-count.
The three girls did it very secretly, not only did they not alert the Carrows, but even the deans of their respective colleges did not know about it.
Because of the secrecy, the operation was not carried out very quickly.
It took two weeks for Hermione to tell Lu Yunkai in the communication mirror that she had completed the production and distribution of the notification badge, and each of the 26 Muggle-born wizards defined by the Ministry of Magic had received one.
This number is much smaller than Lu Yunkai thought, less than one-tenth of the total number of students in Hogwarts, so when he learned this number, Lu Yunkai even suspected that he had heard it wrong…
This also made Lu Yunkai feel even more incomprehensible about Voldemort’s work on pure-blood wizards: it is only less than one-tenth of the proportion, and they will soon be integrated into the existing wizard families. In this case, there is no need to do any registration and cleanup, right?
Let’s talk about Hermione. After Ron broke up with Lavender, Hermione seemed to have basically confirmed her relationship with him. Daphne told Lu Yunkai more than once that the reason why Lu Yunkai and Ron’s relationship was getting worse and worse, and they almost didn’t communicate recently, was because Lu Yunkai and Hermione were too close.
However, Lu Yunkai didn’t take Ron’s “jealousy” to heart. The friendship between him and Hermione may be purer than that between Hermione and Harry. Just like what he said to Hermione after learning that she had made this seemingly “small contribution”:
“As a fellow Muggle-born wizard, you are really our pride.”
Lu Yunkai felt that his words were a compliment, but it seemed that Hermione was not very happy after hearing this.
“I finally understand why Voldemort dares to bully Muggle-born wizards so much, because there are fewer of us.”
Hermione’s answer made Lu Yunkai, who had a smile on his face because of his success, embarrassed.
He understood that the seed that his adoptive father had planted in Hermione’s heart intentionally or unintentionally seemed to have begun to take root and sprout. Hermione, who realized that the situation of Muggle-born wizards was no better than that of the house-elves she had cared about before, had understood under the guidance of her adoptive father that whether to improve the living conditions of Muggle-born wizards or to fight for more rights for house-elves, what she had to do was to speak out and gain support in the Ministry of Magic…
This is of course a good thing.
But…this road is not easy to walk!
However, although Lu Yunkai felt that if there was a chance in the future, he might help this ambitious student whose OWLS scores were actually not as good as his classmates (Hermione and Lu Yunkai both got ten Os and one E, but in Divination, which she did not attend classes but just took as a matter of course, Hermione only got a P (very poor), while Lu Yunkai got an A in Arithmetic Divination), but now, he probably doesn’t have the energy to do so.
Because the statistics of this list took a little bit of time, there was not much time left for them to deal with the possible purge of Muggle-born students.
Moreover, even during the two-week waiting time, it was not calm.
Lu Yunkai, who didn’t want to cause trouble, tried to keep his life stable, but the Carlo brothers and sisters didn’t seem to stop and wait for the outbreak.
They kept making all kinds of crazy attempts.
One moment, they issued an order requiring all students to line up neatly when moving outside the lounge and classroom, the next moment, they required the evening curfew to be advanced from 10 o’clock to 8 o’clock, and the next moment, they required that no female students be present to watch Quidditch training on weekends…
Lu Yunkai did not refute these rules, but just quietly watched the brother and sister perform on the stage.
As long as it did not involve the safety of students in the school and some principled issues, Lu Yunkai chose to remain silent.
In this way, time quickly came to the end of September, the first Hogsmeade weekend of the new school year.
And what Lu Yunkai was worried about was finally coming.
…
“Are you sure?”
“Would I joke with you about this?”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Ron, who looked a little unhappy, and nodded slightly as a gesture, and then continued to talk to Hermione with a serious face.
Just now, the two of them seemed to be talking about something together, and were interrupted by Lu Yunkai who suddenly broke in.
Ron must be wondering how Lu Yunkai found him and Hermione.
The answer, of course, is on the parchment in Lu Yunkai’s pocket.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for the emergency, the day after tomorrow would be Saturday, and Lu Yunkai wouldn’t want to come to Hermione at this time and disturb her date with Ron.
He still wants to stay with Daphne for a while!
“Where did you get the news?” Ron interrupted.
“Of course there is my source of information.” Lu Yunkai shook his head and didn’t answer.
From a person marked as “snake” on the communication mirror…
Nagini sent a message to Lu Yunkai a few minutes ago, telling him that Voldemort had been chasing Dumbledore, but he had successfully escaped every time, and he was a little impatient, so he decided to change a method and lure Dumbledore to appear in his ambush circle and succeed in one strike.
The best way to attract Dumbledore is undoubtedly the students at Hogwarts, where he has spent his whole life, especially the Muggle-born students.
Just now, Voldemort summoned the Carrow brothers and asked them to arrange to clean up the Muggle-born students in Hogwarts. The time was chosen during the Hogsmeade weekend. The brother and sister were responsible for cleaning up the lower grades in the school. students who come to Hogsmeade are handed over to the Death Eaters who will set up an ambush there.
And because some professors will leave the school with the senior students as a protection, the possibility of resistance, whether inside or outside the school, is minimized.
“Then what do you mean? Are we going to notify the transfer now?” After hearing the entire plan described by Lu Yunkai, Hermione no longer had any doubts at all.
“Of course it’s best to transfer now, but… isn’t it a bit difficult?” Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously, “After all, no action has been taken over there yet. Even if they followed your advice and hid out of fear, If you get angry, I will have trouble with you soon.”
“What’s the problem?” Ron didn’t understand what Lu Yunkai meant, “Hermione saved them, what’s the problem with them??”
“…Don’t interrupt!” Hermione glared at Ron, then looked at Lu Yunkai, “Then you mean, we want to take risks?”
“Wait a minute!” Ron was a little annoyed by Hermione, “Obviously you took the risk to save them from the danger of being caught by Voldemort, why would they start arguing with you soon??”
“…They don’t know that they are in danger of being caught by Voldemort.”
“But obviously Lu Yunkai didn’t mean…”
“Do you believe it?” Lu Yunkai interrupted Hermione’s explanation. He really didn’t have time to argue with Ron here. To be honest, Lu Yunkai really didn’t understand what Hermione liked about Ron. The boy’s IQ felt to be two levels lower than Hermione’s. “My suggestion is that you contact them and be prepared to escape in Hogsmeade tomorrow.”
“How to prepare?” Hermione gave Ron an apologetic look, indicating that she would explain to him later, and then continued to ask Lu Yunkai, “We are all underage wizards, and the Ministry of Magic can track us at any time…”
“Escape back to Hogwarts and hide in the Room of Requirement!”
“It’s necessary to run around like this…I won’t interrupt, okay.” Ron looked at the look Hermione gave him and muttered a little aggrievedly.
“…You mean to hide back to Hogwarts through the secret passage? Then there is the risk of being attacked by Death Eaters!” Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron and continued.
“If you don’t let everyone see this scene, everything you say is nonsense. After all, the Ministry of Magic has not publicly cleaned up Muggle-born wizards. There will always be some people who have unrealistic illusions about the Ministry of Magic.” Lu Yunkai shook his head. , “Let them see the danger with their own eyes so that they can hide in the Room of Requirement… After all, God knows how long you will have to hide there! If there is a disagreement, it will still be you and Harry who will have a headache.”
“…Hmm.” Hermione nodded, “You mean, one of us needs to risk being attacked in Hogsmeade?”
“Then who should we let go?” Ron interrupted again from the side, and he could smell an ominous atmosphere.
“Here, here you go.”
Lu Yunkai turned over his hands and took out a stand-in doll and two bottles of medicine, and handed them to Hermione.
“How do you use this?” Hermione was not polite and asked directly after taking the thing.
“If you hold this doll in your hand, it can block an attack spell for you without any difference.” Lu Yunkai explained: “These two bottles are powerful anti-curse potions and powerful recovery potions, just in case you are hit by a spell. I couldn’t escape after that.”
“Okay.” Hermione nodded and carefully put away the things Lu Yunkai gave her.
“Hermione!! You can’t do such a dangerous thing!” Ron on the side was completely anxious.
“Also, do you still have the potion you used to deal with Bellatrix?” Hermione ignored Ron completely and continued to ask Lu Yunkai, “Can you give me a bottle?”
“…Sky Fire Potion? I don’t recommend you use that.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Otherwise, everyone will suspect that I am behind this matter.”
“Hermione has taken such a big risk, and you are still hiding so far back…” Ron was about to go berserk.
“The half-bloods and pure-bloods left in Hogwarts still need me.” Lu Yunkai glared at Ron.
“Lu Yunkai is right, we can’t let people know that this incident has anything to do with him.” Hermione directly stretched out her hand to pull Ron behind her this time, meaning not to let him speak at all, “Then I will find another way. Well…we have to create chaos, otherwise we may not have time to escape from Hogsmeade.”
“And we need support.” Lu Yunkai agreed with Hermione’s idea, “Contacts in Hogsmeade, the tunnel entrance of Honeydukes, the exit of Hogwarts, the passage and door to the Room of Requirement, are all We need people. We must ensure that we go as fast as possible.”
“Yes.” Hermione nodded, “I can arrange this. It is not difficult for students in the sixth and seventh grades, especially the adult students in the seventh grade, to do these things.”
“Also.” Lu Yunkai continued: “The Carlo brothers and sisters cannot enter the lounges of each college, so if they want to kill all the Muggle-born students who remain in the school, there is only one way.”
“Gather all the students who stay in school and arrest them.” Hermione naturally understood, “This is actually a bit troublesome…”
“Trouble? No! I think this is a good thing.” Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, “A good opportunity.”
“Opportunity?? What do you mean?” Hermione didn’t understand.
“An opportunity for Harry to play the savior.” Lu Yunkai looked serious, “Defeat the Carrow brothers and sisters in the auditorium and take away the lower grade students.”
“…You are so brave!” Hermione was stunned for a while, then laughed.
“This bottle of potion, give it to Harry later.” Lu Yunkai took out a bottle of potion from the space bag and handed it to Hermione, “Tell him not to rush to drink it when he is hiding in the auditorium, and drink it when he is sure to take action. This potion only works for three minutes.”
“What effect?” Hermione asked curiously after taking the potion.
“Harry’s spells will be greatly enhanced in three minutes.” Lu Yunkai smiled, “But after the effect of the potion wears off, he may have to stay in the Room of Requirement for a month, and he may even need someone to take care of his daily life…”
“He needs to take care of his daily life? No wonder you don’t give it to him in person.” Hearing Lu Yunkai’s explanation, Hermione was amused, “The side effects of this potion are really big. Where did you find it? Why have I never heard of this potion?”
“In the ancient book that Daphne gave me.” Lu Yunkai laughed, “Although I think Harry may defeat the brother and sister without taking the potion, it’s better to do this for safety.”
In fact, it’s not an ancient book! This potion was taught to him by the demon summoned by Lu Yunkai before.
How can a decent person’s potion have such a big side effect!
“I understand. Harry will understand too.” Hermione nodded, “Then…what are you going to do the day after tomorrow?”
“I? Go to Hogsmeade and sit with Daphne at the Hog’s Head Pub for a day.”
“Wait a minute!! Hermione and Harry are taking such a big risk, and you’re going to sit in a bar?”
Ron behind Hermione couldn’t help but jump out again.
“If the two of them can stay in school as student union presidents for me, I’d rather hide in the Room of Requests. At least I don’t have to go to class, I can sleep after eating and eat after waking up, how great!” Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Ron, “It’s just a different division of labor.”
“And the things Yunkai gave me are not cheap, right?” Hermione pushed Ron behind her again and asked Lu Yunkai.
“Although I can’t say I’m very rich…” Lu Yunkai secretly said, “I can still afford this.”
“Then it’s settled.” Hermione nodded, “If there are any problems tomorrow…”
“Contact the communication mirror.”
“Okay.”
