Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 277
c277 continue to watch
After returning to Hogwarts, the Carrow siblings patrolled the castle in a rage for a week, and continued to despise Muggle-borns in class (especially the sister’s Muggle Studies class), instilling the usefulness of dark magic and the theory of origin, but they did not do anything that crossed the line.
Even when facing Lu Yunkai, they did not show any excessive hostility.
After being taught a lesson by Voldemort, the siblings seemed to finally understand that Voldemort wanted them to come to Hogwarts not to make merit, but to defend the status quo.
This kind of peace and quiet somewhat relieved Lu Yunkai’s hanging heart.
Yes, this was originally a war between Voldemort and Dumbledore, why should we join in the fun? Let the gods fight! We just watch.
This subtle change in mentality made Lu Yunkai give a thumbs up to Dumbledore’s strategy and tactics.
Although the battle outside Hogwarts Castle ended with the victory of the Order of the Phoenix, and the Daily Prophet, the representative of the public opinion of the entire wizarding world, “set things right”, in the end, the people of the Order of the Phoenix did not achieve a sustained victory, so before the Carrows returned to school in mid-November, the Daily Prophet had already jumped back to Voldemort’s mouthpiece.
The so-called “righteous men” remarks before were like they had never said anything.
This certainly aroused the dissatisfaction of some wizards, and then the remarks in the Daily Prophet began to become self-contradictory, and the two groups seemed to be fighting for this public opinion position.
This is also what Dumbledore wanted to see: let every British wizard see that the flames of resistance have been burning, but not strong. If you want to burn into a prairie fire, you need everyone who opposes Voldemort to stand up and make their own contributions.
More and more neutral wizards realized this, and then began to show positive performance.
On the contrary, Voldemort’s men began to work without effort because of the “unpredictable power of God”… As one thing went up, the other went down, and Lu Yunkai finally began to believe that Dumbledore might really have a chance to defeat Voldemort.
In this way, time passed quickly in a mixture of expectation and anxiety.
In a blink of an eye, the first snow fell in Hogwarts, winter came, and Christmas was coming.
…
“Meow! Wake up! I’m not in school, you sleep in every weekend??”
The last weekend before the Christmas holiday.
Early in the morning (actually not very early, it should have been past nine in the morning), Lu Yunkai was awakened by the familiar cat’s cry.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and the familiar ugly cat squatted on his chest. Lu Yunkai was a little confused for a while.
“Meow! Get up! Don’t sleep in! Something big happened!!”
Chris’s paw patted Lu Yunkai’s face to help him wake up.
Lu Yunkai climbed up in a daze, and glanced at the bed next to him. Blaise was not there. God knows where he went. Blaise has been going out early and coming back late recently. When Lu Yunkai asked him what he did, he didn’t say anything, and was mysterious…
“What are you doing? You finally remembered to go back to school?”
Lu Yunkai squinted his eyes, scratched his neck covered with cat hair, and yawned.
“You sleep in like this at school this year?” Chris’s tone was full of dissatisfaction, “The situation outside is so chaotic now, why don’t you make good use of the rare time to learn something…”
“I read until more than three in the morning last night.” Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris’s nagging, “I didn’t know there were students in Hogwarts who were more diligent than me now.”
“Meow? Then why did you read so late? Can’t you sleep at night and read during the day?”
“The magic notebook that Snape gave me is full of magic that is so powerful that I dare not read it during the day!” Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris “I only dared to sneak into the magic practice room in the Room of Requirement after turning off the lights.”
“Meow? Powerful magic? How powerful? It can’t be dark magic?”
“Can it be darker than the Summoning Demon?” Lu Yunkai rubbed the cat’s head speechlessly, “As long as I’m not a dark wizard, then dark magic is not dark magic.”
“Fraudulent arguments.” Chris snorted, “By the way, I almost forgot the main thing because of your interruption. Something big happened last night.”
“…What happened?” Lu Yunkai yawned, pulled out his wand, waved it, and his magic robe was cleaned up and floated to his side.
“Nagini was locked up by Voldemort last night.”
“…Ah?” Lu Yunkai, who was taking off his pajamas, was stunned for a moment.
“I saw it with my own eyes. Voldemort confiscated Nagini’s wand in Malfoy Manor and locked her up in the dungeon.”
“…The contract between her and me was leaked? How could she be so careless!?” Lu Yunkai’s heartbeat accelerated sharply.
“I have been following her for the past few months and didn’t find any leakage of her secrets!” Chris shook her cat head, “and Voldemort has always trusted her very much, and many things were entrusted to her alone.”
“Then why suddenly…”
“I just don’t know!”
“Is Nagini’s life not in danger?”
“Not really. I saw her being pressed into the dungeon last night. Ollivander is also imprisoned in it…”
“Olivander? The wand maker? Is he imprisoned in Malfoy Manor?”
“Yes.” Chrissy nodded, “Nagini herself can’t figure out what went wrong in her that led to her being imprisoned by Voldemort. She is still thinking about it, but I want to remind you first, don’t Caught by Voldemort.”
“…What the hell, am I going to hide in the Room of Requirement too?” Lu Yunkai scratched his head in annoyance.
One person and one cat fell silent, staring at each other with big eyes.
For a while.
Lu Yunkai seemed to have thought of something, took out the communication mirror from under the pillow, and pointed at it with his wand.
“No need to send a message to Nagini, her wand has been confiscated…”
“It’s not for Nagini.” Lu Yun gave Chris a blank look, “It’s for Dumbledore.”
“Meow?”
“I was just thinking, what if Voldemort locked up Nagini to protect her?” Lu Yunkai’s expression looked serious.
“Protect?” Chrissy still hasn’t come back to her senses.
The mirror opened by Lu Yun buzzed and shook.
Lu Yunkai held the mirror and looked at it for a while, then laughed silently.
“Meow?? What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and shook his head, “I think I guessed it right.”
“Meow?”
“Yesterday, the Order of the Phoenix found another Horcrux of Voldemort. This matter may be related.”
“Oh? Isn’t Dumbledore busy running around for his life lately? Doesn’t he still have time to find Horcruxes?”
“…You can’t say you’re escaping, right? Dumbledore is just leading Voldemort around to attract his attention.”
“How can he attract attention? He is really acting with his life! As far as I know, he was almost seriously injured by Voldemort three times.” Chris snorted, “Where did he find it? Horcrux?”
“It was one of the two heirlooms of the Gaunt family that was hidden by Voldemort before, a pendant that once belonged to Slytherin.” Lu Yunkai glanced at his phone and replied, “During the summer vacation, before the duel, Dumbledore brought Harry went to the cave where Voldemort grew up to look for the locket he had hidden there, and found a fake one.”
“……Fake??”
“Well, a person named R.A.B took the locket away from the cave first. Harry and Dumbledore jumped into the air, fell into the trap left by Voldemort, and were injured. As a result, in that scene In the duel, he was beaten by Voldemort and was unable to fight back…”
“Then what? How did you find the truth again?”
“Dumbledore had never told anyone else in the Order of the Phoenix about this before. The fake locket was also put away by Harry. It was not until two days ago that Harry contacted Sirius and asked him if he could go during the Christmas vacation. When passing Grimmauld Place, I occasionally talked about the pendant box and the person called R.A.B. As a result…” Lu Yunkai said and laughed: “I found out that R.A.B was actually Sirius’s brother, and he used to be a canteen. The Dead Apostle was later killed by Voldemort for some unknown reason.”
“……ah??”
“B is Black.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly, “Sirius, who heard this from Harry, rummaged through his old house, and he actually found the pendant last night. ”
“Isn’t this a coincidence?” Chris seemed a little unbelievable.
“That’s a bit.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “But if you think about it carefully, there are only a dozen or twenty pure-blood wizard families in England. Since the Black family can produce Narcissa and Bellatrix, another one will surrender and betray them.” It seems that Voldemort’s Black is not impossible. And according to the protection of the Black family, Dong XZ is indeed very safe at home.”
“Meow, but the problem is that you and Dumbledore have already destroyed three Horcruxes before, and Voldemort didn’t notice it! Even if another one is found this time, there is no reason for him to suddenly notice it, and then Lock up Nagini?”
“Who knows? Maybe after half of the Horcrux was destroyed, he finally sensed it?” Lu Yun smiled, “I would rather believe that he started to protect Nagini because he felt that the Horcrux was destroyed, rather than believe that he was Find out what’s wrong with Nagini and lock her up!”
“More than half? Meow, what you said seems to make some sense.” Chris thought for a while and nodded.
“And if he really found out that there was something wrong with Nagini, he probably wouldn’t confiscate her wand and lock her up, right?” Lu Yunkai continued: “With Voldemort’s habits, he would probably kill her directly.”
“Meow, what will Voldemort do next?” Chris sighed softly, “He can’t keep Nagini in prison forever, right? I’m worried that when he realizes that time is urgent for him now, He will start to act nonsense…”
“Well, that’s a problem.” Lu Yunkai nodded, pointed the wand in his hand at the communication mirror, and sent a message to Dumbledore.
Not long after, Dumbledore’s reply came.
“Dumbledore said he would find a way to run to Europe and bring Voldemort there.” Lu Yunkai glanced at the mirror in his hand and sighed, “The people in Europe are provoking whomever…”
“Meow, now we must find Voldemort’s other Horcrux as soon as possible and destroy it!” Chrissy said with some worry, “Dumbledore lured Voldemort away just to facilitate his movement…”
“I’m a little worried about Harry.” Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, “It’s just that the Ministry of Magic still has surveillance magic to track minors. Harry can really follow Dumbledore’s ideas and find Horcruxes. ”
“Harry? As soon as he leaves Hogwarts, he will be chased by Death Eaters. Don’t even think about it!” Chris shook her head. “Now the Ministry of Magic’s Office for Underage Wizards is full of Voldemort’s people, and it is under 24-hour surveillance!”
“Dumbledore must find a way to solve this.” Lu Yunkai shook his head and put the communication mirror in his hand back into the space bag. “I won’t ask.”
“Meow? Why not ask?”
“What’s there to ask!” Lu Yunkai sighed softly. “To solve this kind of thing, we must start with the Ministry of Magic. I can’t help with the things there, and I’m too lazy to get involved. It’s better not to ask. And I have a very urgent matter to deal with now… Alas, I hope it’s not too late.”
“Meow? What’s the matter?”
“Don’t ask! You’ll know soon!”
Lu Yunkai put on the magic robe and took out the invisible cloak.
“Come up.”
“Meow? Where are you going so early in the morning?”
“Room of Requirement.”
Lu Yunkai watched Chris jump onto his shoulders, put on his cloak, and disappeared into thin air.
