Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 284
c284 persist in
Coming out of the living room on the first floor, Lu Yunkai, led by Harry, went to the bedroom upstairs to visit Sirius who had broken into the Ministry of Magic.
This time Sirius was seriously injured. It had been nearly a week since he broke into the Ministry of Magic, and he was still in a coma.
“If Kingsley hadn’t been in the Ministry of Magic at the time and used a little trick to bring him out, he might have died in the Ministry of Magic.”
Harry looked at his godfather lying there unconscious, his expression full of guilt.
“So sometimes when we make some decisions and say something, we have to consider our close ones in addition to ourselves. Our willfulness sometimes makes them pay the price for us.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly and reminded Harry a little.
“I won’t be so impulsive in the future.” Harry nodded, “But now that things have come to this, I can’t let Sirius’s injury be in vain, I must do something.”
“I still think that it’s better to leave the task of finding Horcruxes to Dumbledore and the members of the Order of the Phoenix.” Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, “We are all just wizard apprentices, and this kind of thing is really not what we should do.”
“But haven’t you destroyed a Horcrux?” Harry disagreed, “I heard from Dumbledore that it was a Horcrux that was hidden very secretly.”
“…It can’t be said to be very secret.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Room of Requirement.”
“Yunkai, you can’t go back to Hogwarts now, right? Do you want to act with us?” Harry tentatively suggested.
“No.” Lu Yunkai shook his head. “You three are just right. If there are more people, it will be too conspicuous and even more dangerous. Besides, eggs should not be put in one basket.”
“Yunkai is right.” Hermione interrupted Harry who was trying to persuade Lu Yunkai. “He also has his own things to do. The three of us are enough.”
“Regarding the Horcrux, I have some news to tell you.” Lu Yunkai also changed the subject before Harry could say anything else.
“What?” Harry was successfully diverted by Lu Yunkai.
Even Ron, who had been silent, showed his concern.
“I heard Chris say before that Bellatrix once appeared outside Gringotts, sneaking around and seemed to be doing something bad. I guess Voldemort might have asked her to hide something in Gringotts.”
“… Gringotts??”
“Yeah. Dumbledore is definitely not convenient to check that place.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “and those goblins are really not easy to talk to. If you have any way to sneak into Gringotts, check the Lestrange family vault, maybe there will be unexpected gains.”
“Is that so? Okay.” Harry nodded.
“But even if the Horcrux is in front of us, I’m afraid we can’t guess which one it is. I haven’t seen it so far…” Ron got stuck in the middle of his words.
He saw two more things in Lu Yunkai’s hand.
An old ring and a gorgeous crown.
Especially the crown.
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen this crown somewhere before?” Hermione looked at the crown inlaid with gems, as if trying to think about it.
“It’s on the portrait of Ravenclaw.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “This ring once belonged to Voldemort’s grandfather. It is said to have been passed down from Slytherin, just like the locket that Sirius found at home before…”
“Here, it’s that locket.”
Harry took out a delicate and gorgeous pendant from his pocket and placed it in front of him.
“Are these Horcruxes?” Ron looked at the three things in front of him, somewhat unbelievable.
“They used to be. Now they are not.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I wonder if you have noticed…”
“Ravenclaw’s crown, Slytherin’s locket, excluding Gryffindor’s long sword, it seems that there should be something belonging to Hufflepuff.” Hermione has taken over the conversation.
Lu Yunkai nodded.
Dealing with smart people is worry-free.
“Hufflepuff? What is it?”
“There is only one thing that belongs to Hufflepuff that has been passed down from Hogwarts, a golden cup, but that golden cup was lost decades ago… So it coincides with the time of Voldemort.” Hermione seemed to have quickly determined the goal, “So, we are going to find Hufflepuff’s golden cup? In Gringotts?”
“Where on earth do you know all this?” Ron was confused.
“Hogwarts, it’s mentioned in a school history, of course you don’t know if you haven’t read it.” Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, “Lu Yunkai must know.”
“…How do you know Lu Yunkai knows this?”
“If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t talk to us like this! If you don’t like reading, use your brain more!” This time, Hermione glared at Ron fiercely and told him to shut up.
Ron looked at Lu Yunkai a little aggrieved and shut up.
“So, there is still a Horcrux, which is Hufflepuff’s golden cup, right?” Harry on the side tried to summarize the situation.
“Most likely.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “If you really want to help, try to find the Hufflepuff Cup!”
“Okay.” Harry nodded, “Then the other Horcruxes…”
“Let’s talk about it after we find the Hufflepuff Cup.” Hermione took over before Lu Yunkai could speak.
Lu Yunkai was stunned, frowned slightly, and looked at Hermione deeply, but didn’t say much.
However, some people didn’t seem to understand Hermione’s intention to interrupt the topic here.
“So, how many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?” Ron asked in a complaining tone.
“He planned to make seven, but I don’t know how many he made.” Harry answered casually, “This was found out by Yunkai.”
“Seven!! Merlin’s beard!!” Ron was shocked, “Then how many are destroyed now?”
“Four.” Harry pointed to the three in front of him, “And a notebook… um, the one that bewitched Ginny back then.”
“…Oh.” Ron’s expression was instantly very strange.
For the Weasley family, the matter of Ginny’s notebook is something they absolutely don’t want to recall again.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this.” Hermione clapped her hands, “Come one by one, not to mention seven, even if there are ten, we can destroy them all!”
“Well, Hermione is right.” Lu Yunkai looked at Hermione deeply again and nodded, “Think about it from another angle, it’s already half destroyed, it’s not that difficult.”
“Let’s not talk here. Disturb Sirius’s rest.” Hermione stood up first, “We can go to the restaurant downstairs…”
“Then I’ll take Daphne back to settle down first.” Lu Yunkai also stood up, “If there is anything else, let’s contact each other later using the communication mirror!”
“Okay.” Hermione nodded.
As long as Lu Yunkai doesn’t continue to talk to Harry about Horcruxes here, Hermione can do whatever she wants.
This is equivalent to telling Lu Yunkai again that she is worried that Harry knows too much about Horcruxes.
Know what?
When Lu Yunkai walked out of Sirius’s bedroom, he was already very sure that Hermione should have guessed that Harry was a Horcrux of Voldemort.
If that was the case, Hermione would not let Harry talk to Lu Yunkai anymore.
Sure enough.
Although Harry and Ron were going to send Lu Yunkai downstairs, Hermione dragged them upstairs, claiming that they were going to discuss how to sneak into Gringotts.
Lu Yunkai returned to the first floor and left with Daphne, who was sitting in a daze in the restaurant.
Apparition, Lu Yunkai pulled Daphne and appeared in the living room of his house.
“Yunkai, I think we need to have a good talk.”
Daphne, who had remained silent almost throughout the Black family, just appeared in Lu Yunkai’s house, pointed to the reception room, and said to Lu Yunkai.
Her expression was very solemn.
“It was Voldemort who forced me to summon the demon this time!!”
“I know.” Daphne nodded, “I’m not going to tell you this.”
“…What do you want to say?”
“Come and listen, and you’ll know.” Daphne smiled and nodded at Irene, who came out of the room after hearing the sound in the hall, and then walked directly into the reception room.
Leaving Lu Yunkai there in a daze.
“Did Daphne quarrel with you?”
Irene put away the wand in her hand with a strange expression.
“I don’t know either.”
Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly and followed Daphne into the reception room.
Daphne was already sitting in an armchair, and there was even a cup of black tea at hand.
“What do you want to say?” Lu Yunkai sat next to Daphne and sighed softly.
“Yunkai…you know, I’ve been really scared these days!” Daphne looked straight at Lu Yunkai, her eyes a little red.
“I’m sorry…”
Lu Yunkai felt a little ashamed.
Just now he was still telling Harry not to be too impulsive, as it would make those who worry about him sad…
Retribution in this life, it’s coming again!
“Yunkai, let’s discuss something.” Daphne looked straight at Lu Yunkai, “Help Astoria remove the curse.”
“…Huh?”
Lu Yunkai’s mind was a little confused.
Just now after hearing Daphne’s words, Lu Yunkai was still thinking about how to make Daphne believe that he had the absolute ability to protect himself, at least no one could kill him when he was on guard, how come it suddenly became a matter of removing the curse?
“This way, if you die one day, at least Astoria won’t have to live with the curse for the rest of her life.” Daphne looked straight at Lu Yunkai, “She can get married and have children.”
“It’s not that easy for me to die…”
“I haven’t slept in Grimmauld Place these days. I was thinking about what I would do if you followed Snape out of the hall and never came back.” Daphne interrupted Lu Yunkai and said to herself, “I haven’t figured out anything else, but I at least understand one thing. If you really die, I probably won’t have the courage to live. Then the curse on me is actually not important, but I can’t let Astoria lose the opportunity to remove the curse on her body!”
“What you said is really… scarier than Voldemort.” Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed.
“I’m serious.” Daphne shook her head seriously, “I’ve made up my mind. No matter where you go, I will stay with you. If we die, we will die together. I don’t want to live a day of fear again.”
“…Why are you doing this? If I want to run away alone, not only Voldemort, but even Grindelwald in his heyday can’t stop me. But if you stay with me, I’m really not sure…”
“I can take care of myself.” Daphne’s expression looked insistent, “I am the one who got seven OWLS O’s after all.”
“This is not something that OWLS can solve!!”
“I don’t care.” Daphne shook her head resolutely, “Either you take this back now, or you won’t even think about me leaving you in the future.”
As Daphne spoke, she took off the earrings she wore on her ears and placed them on the table between the two of them.
“You are really…” Lu Yunkai shook his head in confusion.
“I don’t care. I’ll be willful.”
Daphne snorted and refused to give an inch.
Quiet.
“I have already made an agreement with Astoria.” Seeing that Lu Yunkai remained silent, Daphne continued: “In a few days, one night, you will go to Hogwarts to pick her up and lift her curse. This That’s it.”
“…Let me lift your curse first.” Lu Yunkai decided to change the topic.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, “I’ll tell you when I plan to give you a baby.”
“What the hell…”
“No matter, you have to listen to me on this matter.” Daphne took on a playful attitude.
Lu Yunkai shook his head speechlessly.
This matter… I really have nothing to say.
“That’s it.” Daphne saw that Lu Yunkai was speechless by herself. She picked up the earrings on the table and put them back on her ears with great satisfaction, “By the way, you can do it when you have time.” Teach me how to apparate! I can’t go back to school now, and I won’t be able to attend the apparation class next semester.”
“This is easy to talk about, but… you tell me that you will follow me wherever I go from now on. Can we discuss this matter again?”
“No negotiation!!”
Daphne stood up and walked out of the living room.
Then as if he remembered something again, he turned back and stared at Lu Yunkai.
“If you sneak away behind my back, you will see my body when you come back! I’m not trying to scare you, I’m serious!”
After that, he walked out of the room.
Lu Yunkai was stunned there, looking at Daphne’s leaving figure with a dumbfounded look.
He shook his head gently.
This girl…
well! !
