Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 286
c286 negligence
Under Daphne’s “encouragement”, Lu Yunkai tried to summon the demon god with a slightly better sacrifice, but he did not take out the blood with powerful magic.
After all, he did not plan to tell Daphne about the system for the time being. It was quite troublesome to explain to her where he got the unicorn blood and phoenix blood.
However, it still took Lu Yunkai two weeks to barely recover from the sequelae of summoning.
Lying in bed, Lu Yunkai could only read the magic notebook from Grindelwald as a pastime every day, except for reminding Daphne, who turned to practice Apparition with Irene, to be careful.
However, these days with basically nothing to do except reading books made Lu Yunkai vaguely return to the days when he first arrived at Hogwarts. The vague sense of familiarity made him feel much better.
If it weren’t for someone contacting him from time to time, reminding him that the magic world outside his little world was still in a state of darkness, Lu Yunkai almost forgot that not everyone in the world lived as easily and comfortably as he did.
The most “unpleasant” person here was Hermione.
After meeting at Grimmauld Place that day, Hermione seemed to have developed a habit of “reporting” to Lu Yunkai every night what they did that day.
So, Lu Yunkai, who did not embark on the journey of finding Horcruxes with Harry and the others, became a spiritual member of what Ron called the “Horcrux Expedition” and knew all their actions.
But there was not much to know, because the three of them spent most of their time in remote places.
The main reason for not being able to enter the city was not the Death Eaters and Voldemort.
After Voldemort was injured, the activities of the Death Eaters were obviously much more low-key, but it became a big problem for the Ministry of Magic.
Sirius’s recklessness angered the Ministry of Magic. Although they could not tear their faces and directly issue an arrest warrant, they strengthened the search for underage wizards who were active outside.
The Office of Underage Wizard Management could not be repaired in a short time because of Sirius’s attack (of course, it was also because the power of the Order of the Phoenix in the Ministry of Magic was secretly involved), but the search outside never stopped.
Even the Daily Prophet published an unsigned article, directly pointing out the list of people who skipped school from Hogwarts, and asked the Ministry of Magic to take action and bring these students back to school.
Of course, this list was so long that it did not actually have the effect of attacking the Order of the Phoenix. Instead, it made Snape, who was openly a Death Eater, a little difficult to end. After all, when Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts, there was no such a large number of students skipping school…
But this also shows that many people disliked Harry and his friends and wanted to “arrest them” as soon as possible.
Therefore, Harry and Hermione were still very cautious in their actions.
And time came to the end of January.
“Meow, why did you and Daphne quarrel again in the afternoon? You woke me up.”
“Even if you are a cat, don’t you think you have been sleeping too much recently?”
“Meow, what are you two quarreling about?”
“Or she wants to go to Hogwarts to pick up Astoria, but I don’t agree.”
The magic candles that had just been lit in the study were just right, and after dinner, people felt cozy and warm, but not drowsy.
Lu Yunkai, whose body had basically returned to normal, was holding a cup of warm milk tea and sitting comfortably in a chair, with Grindelwald’s magic notebook in front of him.
The notebook had been turned to the last few pages, indicating that Lu Yunkai had basically completed the study of this thin notebook.
Lu Yunkai’s expression did not show that he had just had a small quarrel with Daphne, because in the past month, the two had quarreled over this issue no less than thirty times, and they had long been numb.
“Meow, where is she?”
Chris was nagging, but she seemed to have gotten used to it, lying on the table next to Lu Yunkai naturally.
“She went back to her room after dinner, angry with me.”
“Meow, I’m not saying anything bad about you, you should comfort her too!”
“I’ve told her so many times that the school is safe now, the Carlo brothers and sisters are as honest as quails, and Astoria can still go to school with her classmates through the communication mirror at school, how great, I don’t know why she must take her over.”
“Maybe Astoria is crying to her? You know your sister-in-law, she’s a smart person, and she happened to meet someone who always pretends not to care, But for this sister who loves her sister more than anyone else, if she really wants to act pitiful in front of Daphne, Daphne really has no way to stop her. “Chris squinted her eyes and continued, “I think you should go and pick up Astoria, otherwise Daphne will go to pick her up by herself, which will be more dangerous.”
“No.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Erin told me that she hasn’t learned to Apparate yet.”
“Meow? Not yet? It’s been more than a month, right? Isn’t she too slow?” Chris raised her head, with a shocked tone.
“She is too timid. She is always afraid when Apparating, and then she panics… It’s hard to succeed.” Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, put down the cup in his hand, and picked up the notebook again.
“Meow, what is recorded in this notebook is magic, right? I think you have been reading it for a month, and I have never seen you practice it. Are you studying magic or the history of magic?” Chris changed the subject.
“I would like to use it, but I can’t use it!” Lu Yunkai looked helpless, took out his wand and pointed it forward, “Storm Flame!”
Then, a small flame appeared in front of Lu Yunkai.
The temperature in the room increased a little, becoming warmer.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, shook his head, and put away his wand.
“Meow, are you sure it’s not a problem with the spell?”
“Grindelwald gave this to me, and Dumbledore specifically reminded me that the spell on it is too powerful and should be used with caution… With the endorsement of these two people, do you think there will be a problem?” Lu Yun said in vain. Liz glanced at her and said, “It must be my problem!”
“Meow.” Chris lay down noncommittally and continued to sleep.
Lu Yunkai took his notebook and started reading again.
The study became quiet as usual.
However.
“Yunkai!! Lu Yunkai!! It’s not good!!”
Erin’s voice suddenly rang out, and she rushed into the study together with her figure in a hurry.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Yunkai, who was picking up the milk tea cup, was startled and almost spilled the milk tea in his hand.
“Daphne! Where did Daphne go?”
“…Ah??” Lu Yunkai was stunned.
“I just contacted her through the communication mirror, but she didn’t reply to me.” Erin’s expression looked very nervous. “In the afternoon, she asked me to help her prepare a potion to prevent the failure of Apparition. I was a little worried… ”
“She went to Hogwarts??” Lu Yunkai reacted immediately, “Oops!”
“Are you going to visit Hogwarts, or should I go?”
“I’ll go!”
Lu Yunkai put the cup in his hand on the table and took out the wand in his hand.
“Apparate!”
After chanting the spell, Lu Yunkai’s figure appeared in the forbidden forest outside Hogwarts in the next moment, and then he immediately took out the communication mirror and pointed his wand.
Contact Astoria.
However, Astoria, who usually immediately connected to the communication mirror at times like this, did not hear back for a while.
After waiting for a while, Lu Yunkai frowned.
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
Damn it.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t want to contact them.”
Suddenly a voice sounded behind Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai instinctively waved the wand behind him and cast a disarming spell.
However, his spell was knocked away by someone coming.
“We meet again, it’s been a long time!” The visitor’s face had an expression between resentment and happiness.
“Have we met?”
Lu Yunkai held the magic wand in his hand and his expression was gloomy.
“Don’t you remember? A few years ago, outside a small house in Liverpool, you used some weird little spells and potions on me…”
“Is this happening?” Lu Yun was a little happy, but his expression was very calm.
The Death Eater outside Slughorn’s old house in Liverpool! How could he still remember himself?
Or, did someone tell him what happened?
Who could it be?
Snape or Lucius?
“If you insist that you don’t remember, I can’t help it.” The Death Eater said with a sinister smile on his face, “You are here to find your little girlfriend, right? You must be curious about where she is now. And why am I here, right?”
“…She was arrested by you?”
Lu Yunkai has realized the seriousness of the problem.
“How can you say arrest? It’s an invitation.” The Death Eater smiled, “The Dark Lord invited the two of them to Malfoy Manor. If you want to see them, go to Malfoy Manor to find them!”
After saying that, the Death Eaters didn’t stay here any longer and just disapparated and left.
Before he left, he cast a spell on Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai waved the magic wand in his hand to block the spell, his expression was as ugly as it was ugly.
The wand was pointed at the communications mirror.
Not long after.
“What’s wrong, Lu Yunkai?”
A beautiful face with red hair appeared in the mirror, looking in good spirits.
“Ginny, is Astoria still in the Room of Requirement?” Lu Yunkai tried his best to sound less anxious.
“Astoria? Sister Daphne just came to pick her up, and they left together!”
“…”
“What’s wrong? They haven’t arrived home yet? They shouldn’t, right? They’ve been gone for half an hour.”
“Well, it’s okay.”
Lu Yunkai forced a smile and hung up the call.
The smile disappeared immediately, and with a change of heart, the figure disappeared into the forbidden forest.
…
“How about it?”
Chris seemed nervous when she saw Lu Yunkai reappearing in the study.
“Something happened.”
“Meow!! I told you, you just go and pick it up, you have to ignore it! Okay…”
“Stop saying a few words!” Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, then sat down.
The study fell into silence.
“Meow, what happened to them?”
“He was captured by Death Eaters and taken to Malfoy Manor.” Lu Yunkai said in a muffled voice, “A Death Eater was waiting there to tell me.”
“Meow? Malfoy Manor?”
“Hmm…” Lu Yunkai rubbed his head with his hand, let out a long breath, then took out the communication mirror and placed it on the table.
“Meow! What are you doing? Go to Malfoy Manor and save them!” Chris looked at Lu Yunkai staring at the mirror in a daze, a little annoyed.
“Do you know where they are imprisoned in Malfoy Manor and go to rescue them? Or do you want me to agree to any conditions offered by Voldemort?”
“…”
Chris was silent.
“I don’t know… Forget it, I will never know if I don’t ask.”
The wand in Lu Yunkai’s hand pointed at the communication mirror.
After a while.
“… Yunkai? Why did you think of contacting me?”
“Draco, there is something I can only ask you for help.”
“… What is it?”
“Daphne and Astoria were captured by the Death Eaters and taken to your house. Do you… know where they are imprisoned?”
“Huh??”
Malfoy’s face in the mirror was stunned.
…
