Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 278

c278 Clear again

“Meow? What is this place?”

“This isn’t your first time here!” Lu Yunkai took off his invisibility cloak.

A huge space with a lot of old furniture inside.

Lu Yunkai conducted an inspection of the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

The good news is that the room where Harry and Hermione were hiding was not opened, which at least proves that the Room of Requirement can open several rooms at the same time without affecting each other.

The bad news is…

“Meow? Is this the room where you collected junk before? Didn’t you clear it all out? How come there are so many things again!”

Chris reacted, jumped off Lu Yunkai’s shoulder, and looked around.

“Fortunately I came to take a look.” Lu Yunkai’s expression was very solemn, and he sighed, “Hogwarts is the same. It’s only been a few years, how come there are so many old furniture again…”

“Meow? What do you mean?”

Chris still didn’t come back to her senses.

Lu Yunkai didn’t answer him, but got busy on his own.

Clean up the room and sell all the things in it to the system.

He moved so fast that he didn’t even have time to look at the system price.

“Meow, what are you doing? Are you in such a hurry? Is your system short of money? No way?”

Chris followed Lu Yunkai and asked in a ridiculous tone.

Lu Yunkai didn’t answer and was still busy.

It took from late morning to almost dinner time in the afternoon to finally finish it.

When the last sofa that should have been eliminated from the Hufflepuff lounge was sold into the system, he was so tired that he didn’t want to talk.

“Meow, what’s wrong with you? Have you become autistic because I haven’t been with you for a while?”

Chris asked worriedly after following Lu Yunkai and watching him perform for a whole afternoon.

It called next to it for an afternoon, but Lu Yunkai didn’t answer it a word. It also went through a mental journey from confusion to anger to helplessness and then to worry.

Lu Yunkai looked really scary in this state.

“Finally, I’m done.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly, “Okay, let’s go back to the dormitory.”

“…Why are you in such a hurry? Just take a rest here! I see you’ve been busy all afternoon, and I feel so tired for you.” Chris shook his head at Lu Yunkai with some heartache.

“Don’t, this place is not safe. It will be troublesome if Voldemort sees it.”

“Meow? What did you say? Voldemort?” Chris was stunned, “Why would he come here… Meow!! Horcrux!!”

“Well, it seems that you have also reacted.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “Let’s go back to the dormitory first.”

“Meow, let’s go.” Chris didn’t delay and jumped directly onto Lu Yunkai’s shoulder.

Putting on the invisible cloak, Lu Yunkai went all the way back to the lounge, and then threw himself on the bed like throwing away garbage.

Lying there, he didn’t want to move at all.

Chris squatted beside Lu Yunkai, not saying anything, just quietly accompanying him.

For a long time.

After dinner, Blaise returned to the dormitory. He was stunned when he saw Lu Yunkai lying on the bed exhausted. He reached out to touch Chris who was squatting next to him, and then left without saying a word.

When Blaise left, Lu Yunkai finally opened his eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

“I was so worried this afternoon.” Lu Yunkai said to Chris beside him, “I was really afraid that Voldemort would rush in when I was dealing with the things in the room…”

“Meow, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don’t understand. Why do you want to clear out the things in that room?” Chris saw that Lu Yunkai finally spoke, so she asked, “What do you mean?”

“I’m worried that Voldemort will start looking for the Horcruxes he made and bring them back to Hogwarts!” Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly, “If he finds out that his Horcruxes are missing… God knows what crazy things he will do. I’m afraid that the whole school will be dead by then.”

“…Not that bad, right?” Chris heard Lu Yunkai’s words and was silent for a long time before trying to refute.

“God knows, we can’t just pin our hopes on a madman, right?” Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly, “And I’m really afraid that he will start to do something even crazier because of his approaching death.”

“What’s the point of clearing the room?” Chris shook his head, “You might as well put the crown back…”

“Putting it back is useless! His soul fragments on it have all been wiped out by your urine.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “If he can’t find it, he can still have some fantasy. If he really finds the crown that is no longer a Horcrux, it will be even more terrifying, okay!”

“Is it useful for you to do this? Everything is gone, including the crown…”

“Generally speaking, no normal person would think of clearing out so many furniture in that huge room, right?” Lu Yunkai asked Chris.

“…It seems that you also realize how abnormal you were this afternoon.” Chris secretly complained.

“So, if you originally hid the Horcrux in a room full of old furniture, but when you opened the door to the Room of Requirement, you found that it was an empty room with nothing in it, what would you think?”

“… opened the wrong room?” Chris finally understood Lu Yunkai’s thinking.

“Yes!” Lu Yunkai nodded, “As long as he can’t find the room filled with worn-out furniture, even if he can’t find his Horcrux, he won’t suspect that the Horcrux inside has been destroyed. Instead, he will Because I feel safe and relieved…”

Speaking of this, Lu Yun smiled.

“He can’t even find what he hid himself, so why should he worry about being found by others?”

“Meow, what you said makes sense.” Kris nodded.

“So! After I heard you say this morning that Voldemort was worried about his Horcruxes, I didn’t dare to delay at all, and ran to clean that room.” Lu Yun smiled, “It’s true, Hogwart Ci’s house elf is too diligent. It’s only been a few years, but he has put in so many things.”

“But I think you may be overly worried.” Chris seemed to think of something again, “If I were Voldemort, I wouldn’t go to Hogwarts to check the Horcruxes hidden here. Unless I have something better A place where the Horcrux can be hidden, otherwise wouldn’t it be equivalent to telling others where the Horcrux is hidden?”

“Who are you telling? Is there anyone else in the British wizarding world who has the ability to track down Voldemort? He is not an underage wizard apprentice like us!” Lu Yun said with a smile, “He sneaked into Hogwarts Castle secretly Take a look…”

“Speaking of this, Nagini told me that Hogwarts has access restrictions.” Chris interrupted Lu Yunkai, “Not everyone can walk in directly from the passage outside the castle.”

“Huh? Is there such a thing?”

“Yes. Otherwise, if Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts anymore, why would Voldemort still need Malfoy to build the vanishing cabinet!”

“I thought he just wanted to find a reason to deal with the Malfoys!”

This was really the first time Lu Yunkai heard about this. He had never thought that Hogwarts actually had such authority control before. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that apart from the two Agemanis, Sirius and Peter, I haven’t heard of any outsiders sneaking in.

but……

“Then how were you granted permission to visit the castle?” Lu Yunkai suddenly remembered something, “You can come with the principal’s permission, right?”

“Meow, yes! The Ministry of Magic has no control over Hogwarts. After all, when there was Hogwarts, there was no Ministry of Magic!”

“So now that Snape is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Voldemort wants to enter the castle…is it difficult?”

“…Meow, I forgot about this. I thought Dumbledore was the principal!” Chris patted the cat’s head with her paw.

“So! It’s better to be just in case.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “Don’t go to Malfoy Castle these days. Just stay in Hogwarts and help me keep an eye on the people entering and exiting the Room of Requirement. . In case Voldemort comes, I have a good idea. If he discovers what I did… you should take Daphne and escape as soon as possible.”

“Meow? Didn’t you run away with Daphne? You want me to do such a thing?”

“I still have to stay and stall for time!” Lu Yunkai sighed, “Dumbledore left the safety of so many students in Hogwarts to me…I am not the irresponsible kind!”

“…Thank you for your hard work.” Chrissy nodded, “Then I’ll go and keep an eye on it for you now?”

“Voldemort doesn’t have an invisibility cloak. Unless he wants to cause an encirclement and suppression by the Order of the Phoenix, he won’t come to Hogwarts in broad daylight. Just go and keep an eye on it for me at night.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Is that okay? ”

“Leave this little thing to me!” Chris nodded.

but.

“Meow, are you really sure that clearing that room like this will work?”

“I can only say, I hope!” Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

Do your best to ensure your destiny!

…

After explaining to Chris about staring at the Room of Requirement, Lu Yunkai lost interest in getting up to have dinner. He was so tired that he didn’t want to move and just fell asleep.

Chrissy, who had not appeared at Hogwarts for nearly a whole semester, once again took on the task of keeping track of Lu Yunkai, and she did as well as ever.

Lu Yunkai was actually not as worried about tracking whether Voldemort came to Hogwarts as he showed. In fact, he felt that the possibility that Voldemort would personally go to Hogwarts to inspect the Horcruxes should not exceed 30%.

After all, Snape still controls his access to Hogwarts. If he wants to enter the castle, he must first let Snape know.

As for the Horcrux, Lu Yunkai didn’t think Voldemort would tell anyone.

What he was more worried about was Nagini’s safety.

When Lu Yunkai learned from Chris that Nagini was under Voldemort’s custody, he immediately informed Dumbledore, but he regretted it almost the same day.

From the perspective of a bystander, now is actually the best time to sow discord between Voldemort and Nagini, making the suspicious Voldemort realize that the trusted Horcrux carrier around him is not actually loyal to him. , or for the entire Death Eater camp, it can be said to be a fatal blow.

It is not difficult for the people of the Order of the Phoenix to achieve this: as long as Snape goes to Voldemort and breaks the relationship between Lu Yunkai and Nagini, Voldemort himself will be completely at a loss.

But this also meant pushing Nagini to death.

Dumbledore, who had tried to get Lu Yunkai to sacrifice Nagini before, did not do so, which was the best answer to Lu Yunkai’s protest against him during the summer vacation.

Dumbledore used his actions to tell Lu Yunkai that he was different from Grindelwald.

This kindness also made Lu Yunkai a little relieved because he was worried that Voldemort would come to Hogwarts to kill people.

Just a little bit, because Voldemort was really checking his Horcruxes.

It was no longer the “insider” Nagini who let him know the news, but the Daily Prophet.

In the next two days, two reports the size of tofu appeared in the Daily Prophet, a cave and an old abandoned house were “destroyed by powerful magic”, and even affected the Muggles living nearby…

The people of the Daily Prophet certainly didn’t quite understand why Voldemort did this, and thought he was just spreading fear everywhere as usual, so these two small reports were mixed in with all kinds of strange reports and were not so conspicuous.

But in Lu Yunkai’s view, they were extremely eye-catching.

The plot is not yet complete, but the dagger has already appeared. The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters may really have reached the time to face off.

Sitting in Hogwarts Castle, Lu Yunkai can only hope that the flames of war will not really burn him.

Although, this is unlikely.

Because the fire, before it could be ignited outside the castle, exploded in Hogwarts.
