Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 280
c280 Face to face
Harry may not know that he was envious of Sirius for finding a hidden Horcrux at home and destroying it, which then triggered an attack on the monitoring of underage wizards, and then embarked on the road of finding Horcruxes with the mentality of atonement, which was completely in Dumbledore’s plan.
But this is not important. Because even if he knew, he would still go on this road without hesitation.
The so-called upright conspiracy refers to this.
So although Lu Yunkai felt that Dumbledore was very despicable in tempting Harry to go on this road step by step, he could not stop it.
Harry may have something he should do, and Lu Yunkai could not stop it, but could only bless it.
Sirius launched a personal attack on the Ministry of Magic without regard for the consequences, which made many people feel absurd and unacceptable, so that many people were even unwilling to believe that this was true.
Even in the Prophet’s Daily Prophet the next day, there was no report on this matter at all.
Of course, just because there was no report, it did not mean that everyone swallowed this breath.
The Daily Prophet showed the attitude of the Ministry of Magic in another way. As Lu Yunkai worried, the attitude of the Ministry of Magic began to lean towards Voldemort.
And at this time, the efficiency shown by the Ministry of Magic shocked everyone.
On the second day after Sirius attacked the Ministry of Magic, that is, the day before the Christmas holiday at Hogwarts, Mrs. Zabini, who had not contacted Lu Yunkai directly for a long time, told him that the Ministry of Magic had launched an investigation into the communication mirror again. This time, their attitude seemed very determined to bring the control of the mirror under the control of the Ministry of Magic.
“I can delay it for three months, but it is only three months at most. You’d better think of a way. This communication mirror is not mine alone.”
Mrs. Zabini, who looked obviously tired and aged in the mirror, said to Lu Yunkai in a helpless tone.
This was the first time Lu Yunkai heard such words from his partner. It also clearly told Lu Yunkai that she had indeed tried her best, and there was no other way.
Lu Yunkai was indeed surprised. He thought that the Ministry of Magic would stand against the Order of the Phoenix because of Sirius’s behavior, but he never expected that the first knife of revenge would be chopped down on himself…
In fact, from the day the communication mirror was publicly sold, Lu Yunkai and Mrs. Zabini were always prepared for the Ministry of Magic to intervene, and they had already prepared for the possibility of losing control or even losing everything.
But when this day really came, Lu Yunkai was still somewhat unwilling.
He absolutely could not agree to hand it over to the Ministry of Magic without any resistance.
So, Lu Yunkai, who had originally planned to stay in school during the winter vacation, had to find his adoptive father to explain why he had to leave school during the winter vacation.
For this attack from the Ministry of Magic, Slughorn, who heard the whole story, was silent for three minutes, took out a list, and told Lu Yunkai that if it was absolutely necessary, he could go find a few people on the list, and maybe they could help.
Lu Yunkai understood that those people were all from the Slug Club, which was the trump card of his adoptive father’s connections.
After receiving the list, Lu Yunkai was ready to fight for his communication mirror.
However.
…
“Oh, Daphne, don’t be angry. Lu Yunkai has something urgent to do. It’s not intentional that he won’t accompany you to spend Christmas at school.”
Blaise said with a smile.
At the end-of-term dinner, at the Slytherin table.
Lu Yunkai was in a bad mood, so he had no expression on his face, and Daphne, who was opposite him, was even more angry.
Lu Yunkai spent a lot of effort to persuade her not to go home during the Christmas holiday this year, but to stay in Hogwarts, which was safer and more guaranteed, but he didn’t expect that Lu Yunkai would leave school in a blink of an eye…
“Humph.” Daphne glared at Blaise and didn’t answer.
Blaise was a little embarrassed.
He naturally knew the reason why Lu Yunkai left school temporarily. He listened to the whole conversation with his mother this morning. Lu Yunkai was going to fight for the communication mirror they jointly operated. Even if Daphne pointed at him and scolded him, he could only endure it.
“Sister, don’t pretend. I don’t know who was there this afternoon. He was worried that my brother-in-law would be in danger after leaving school. He pestered my father for help and asked my father to contact his old friends in the Ministry of Magic to speak for him…”
“Shut up!!” Daphne knocked Astoria’s head who was trying to smooth things over.
Astoria rubbed her head a little aggrieved and said nothing.
“If you ask me, if the Ministry of Magic wants that communication mirror or something, just give it to them.” Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai who was silent there, and said angrily: “You have made enough money, there is no need to confront them like this!”
“This is not about money.” Lu Yunkai shook his head.
Sirius lost the face of the Ministry of Magic. Even if I admit my weakness, it is just the beginning. I can’t let them think that I am easy to bully.
Well, Lu Yunkai certainly couldn’t say this directly, because Sirius’s matter hadn’t been reported in the newspapers yet!
“You…” Daphne’s eyes turned red again.
“Okay, Professor Snape is going to speak.” Malfoy jumped out to smooth things over.
He interrupted the quarrel between Lu Yunkai and Daphne before it even started.
And the huge black bat did appear on the podium.
Standing behind the podium, his expression was gloomy and solemn.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
This was the second time Snape appeared in the school after the start of the school term. It seemed that everyone was not used to his activities as the principal in the school…
“A semester is over.” Snape glanced at the hall that immediately became quiet because he stood up, but there was no sense of relief in his expression. He was still as cold as ice: “Many of you choose to go home tomorrow. I hope you can have a happy holiday. For those who choose to stay in school, I also hope that you can abide by the school rules and don’t cause trouble.”
At this point, his eyes looked at Lu Yunkai.
The eyes of the whole audience also drifted to Lu Yunkai.
“Everyone has only one life. Doing anything rashly is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also to your parents.”
Snape’s words with obvious warnings made the whole audience burst into a lot of giggling discussions.
“The dinner begins.” Snape waved his wand, and all the tables were filled with delicious food.
However.
“Lu Yunkai. Follow me.”
Snape did not sit back in his principal’s seat behind the podium, but said something to Lu Yunkai, and then walked straight into the wrong auditorium.
The auditorium was silent again in an instant.
Lu Yunkai looked around at his classmates who were looking at him with various eyes, and scratched his head awkwardly.
What was Snape going to do? Was he going to warn himself not to try to protect the communication mirror again, or something else?
There was no need to make such a big fuss, right? ?
Complaining in his heart, Lu Yunkai stood up, followed Snape, and ran out of the auditorium.
The moment Lu Yunkai stepped out of the auditorium, he heard a huge discussion of students behind him like an explosion.
Then, there was Professor McGonagall’s voice.
“Quiet!!”
…
“Professor, is there anything that can’t be discussed after the banquet?”
After following Snape up to the second floor, Lu Yunkai complained to Snape who was standing there waiting for him.
“…Follow me.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai deeply, and then said something that made him stunned.
Snape…Is there something inconvenient to say?
What’s going on?
Lu Yunkai followed Snape upstairs with suspicion.
Soon, he found that something was wrong.
Snape didn’t seem to plan to go back to the principal’s office. The two of them went up the stairs.
The higher they went, the more frightened Lu Yunkai was.
Soon, they arrived at the eighth floor.
Lu Yunkai felt that his expression was about to lose its composure.
Because he saw a black figure standing in front of a tapestry from a distance.
Lu Yunkai only saw that figure when he had a nightmare.
“Okay, Severus, you can go now.”
The voice of that figure sounded hoarse.
“Yes, Master.”
Snape bowed to the figure, then turned and left.
Lu Yunkai stood there, looking at the person standing there… Voldemort, with a stiff expression.
Voldemort actually came to Hogwarts? ?
And he chose this time?
“I don’t want anyone to know that I’m here. There shouldn’t be a better time than now.” Voldemort didn’t look at Lu Yunkai, his eyes were fixed on the wall in front of him, “Everyone is in the hall, I can come in quietly, leave quietly…”
“You don’t need to do this. Even if you are standing in the Hogwarts Hall now, no one dares to attack you.” Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully.
“I don’t think so.” Voldemort’s eyes finally turned to Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai was stunned.
Voldemort…what’s wrong?
Although it was still the pale face without a nose, Lu Yunkai clearly felt that Voldemort’s mental state was very bad now.
Even worse than the one Lu Yunkai saw in the castle before, who needed to feed himself with unicorn blood.
So, destroying the Horcrux is really useful?
For a moment, Lu Yunkai suddenly smelled a little bit of the smell that could really kill Voldemort.
…
