Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 298

c298 Pay off debt

Although Lu Yunkai held Bellatrix’s hair and wand in his hands, he knew that now was not the time to give them to Hermione.

Otherwise, he would have to face the challenge of explaining to the three of them how he could steal the most important thing for wizards from Bellatrix.

Lu Yunkai decided to wait three days before giving it to Hermione and the others.

This time was just enough for Ron and Harry to digest the news that they had been mentally prepared for but had never been able to accept.

As for Lu Yunkai himself, he also had other things to do.

The day after Lu Yunkai woke up, Narcissa, in the name of Voldemort, notified Yaxley, who was monitoring a group of Muggle-born wizards building a prison on the isolated island of Azkaban, and asked him to report to Voldemort on the progress of the construction of Azkaban at Malfoy Manor that afternoon.

But after he arrived at Malfoy Manor, he did not see Voldemort. As Death Eaters, they certainly did not dare to ask questions like “Why did the Dark Lord call me here but he went out again?”, so they could only wait there.

And seeing Nagini sitting obediently beside him, he dared not say a word.

They waited from afternoon to evening, but Voldemort still “didn’t come back”, so they could only eat first…

A cup of black tea, everything went smoothly.

Yaxley certainly didn’t expect that he would fall in this place.

In addition, the “venom” was beyond the cognition of many wizards…

He passed away peacefully.

After Yaxley was “solved”, Nagini and Lucius did not take any action, and the matter was handed over to the Order of the Phoenix.

Snape contacted Kingsley, who had been responsible for monitoring Thicknesse. After Kingsley learned that the puppet Minister of Magic was just under the Imperius Curse, he solved the problem of the Minister of Magic with a spell of removal.

When Thicknesse woke up and realized that he had become the Minister of Magic in a muddle, he was shocked and wanted to resign immediately…

But he was stopped by Kingsley.

“You have done a lot of wrong things. What you need to do now is not to escape, but to correct your mistakes.”

Kingsley’s persuasion stopped Thicknesse.

It also made him realize his responsibility.

So from that night, the Ministry of Magic issued a ministerial order: release all Muggle-born wizards imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, and destroy all recently registered wizard information.

And this order was spread throughout England through the Daily Prophet the next morning.

…

“Yunkai, did you make the news this morning?”

At night, in a small tent in the mountains of Scotland.

Harry’s expression looked much better than the last time. Obviously, he had figured out some things in the past three days.

Of course, the more important thing was the news in the Daily Prophet in the morning.

“It was Professor Snape. He went to inform Kingsley and lifted the Imperius Curse on Thicknesse.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I didn’t help much.”

Lu Yunkai’s face was not bad either.

After three days of rest and recuperation, his body has basically returned to normal.

Although it was still a little difficult to do strenuous exercise, walking on his own was basically no problem.

“Snape? Is he really… on the side of the Order of the Phoenix?” Harry was stunned when he heard this.

“Dumbledore has always trusted him.” Lu Yunkai blocked Harry’s question with an answer.

Harry was silent.

“What I am worried about is that the current Law Enforcement Department is not controlled by a Death Eater? Even if there is an order to release Muggle-born wizards, will he execute it honestly?” Hermione said worriedly on the side: “Bellatrix is ​​still there, and Malfoy is still there… there are many of them alive!”

Of course, her expression still looks bright.

The end of the persecution of Muggle-born wizards is definitely the best news for her.

“I have dealt with that person.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Don’t worry about this.”

“Deal with? How to deal with… did you kill Yaxley?” Harry was stunned.

“Someone has to do the dirty work. You don’t have to do it.” Lu Yunkai smiled, “It has nothing to do with you, I’ll handle it.”

“…” Harry opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.

“Murderer!!” Ron snorted beside him.

Lu Yunkai smiled and ignored Ron.

He took out a wand and a bottle of potion from his pocket.

“Polyjuice potion, wand.” Lu Yunkai placed them in front of Hermione, “You guys take care of the Horcruxes.”

“Leave it to us.” Hermione nodded and took the things, “Do you want to come with us?”

“Forget it, my going will affect unity.” Lu Yunkai glanced at Ron and shook his head with a smile, “I wish you all the best… By the way, Bellatrix doesn’t know when she will remember to check the vault, so… you’d better hurry up.”

“We will make arrangements as soon as possible.” Hermione nodded.

“I suggest you don’t be too nervous. The new order issued by Thicknesse has made the Ministry of Magic panic. No one has time to care about the few wizard apprentices who appeared in Diagon Alley.”

“…Okay.” Hermione glanced at Harry, and the two looked at each other and nodded together.

…

The next morning, at the Leaky Cauldron.

Normally, the Leaky Cauldron is usually not crowded on weekday mornings, but today, Tom was so busy that he didn’t even have time to chat with Lu Yunkai.

There were too many people.

But Lu Yunkai didn’t come to the Leaky Cauldron to chat with Tom.

Someone had arranged to meet him here.

So he just ordered a glass of butter beer, and Lu Yunkai came to the corner and sat down.

Not long after, a woman in pink came.

Dolores Umbridge.

This woman got the number of Lu Yunkai’s communication mirror from somewhere, contacted him, and asked him to come to the Leaky Cauldron to talk alone.

Lu Yunkai didn’t want to meet this woman who upset him, but…

There was no way.

“You came early.” Umbridge sat opposite Lu Yunkai.

Her expression was very bad, and it was unclear whether it was because she hated the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol floating in the Leaky Cauldron, or because she was in a bad mood recently.

“What on earth do you want to talk to me about?” Lu Yunkai was very impatient with Umbridge, “Just say it straight.”

“These days, Thickness has begun to settle the previous Muggle-born registration matters. I think that after those Muggle-born wizards are released, the vacant rooms in Azkaban will be filled by those of us who registered them before.” Umbridge saw that Lu Yunkai had lost his patience, so she smiled and said that there was another reason for looking for Lu Yunkai today.

“Even if other people are fine, you, the general registration person in charge, should not be able to escape.” Lu Yunkai nodded.

“So, I came to you for help.” Umbridge spread her hands, “Whether it’s Dumbledore’s side or the mysterious man’s side, either side is fine, help me introduce, I want to talk to Thickness alone.”

“Talk? Can it be solved by talking?” Lu Yunkai laughed.

In the past year, although Lu Yunkai and the Muggle-born wizards in Hogwarts did not seem to be affected much, at most they hid in the Room of Requirement and could not go out, but outside Hogwarts, the situation of Muggle-born wizards was more than just terrible.

It was miserable.

Countless Muggle-born wizards were forcibly guarded and required to report to designated locations every day. Later, they were even arrested and sent to Azkaban, where they were given a prison to live in.

God knows how many of them went out in the morning and never went home again, and they will never go back.

And the initiator of all this is undoubtedly Umbridge, the person in charge.

She did not personally kill or even torture a Muggle-born wizard (all of this was done by Yachlis of the Execution Department and his men), but every Muggle-born wizard had to go through a “guilty verdict” before being escorted to Azkaban for the “procedural justice” of the Ministry of Magic. The person in charge of this was the pink toad in front of him.

Now that Yaklis has disappeared, the Ministry of Magic can no longer find anyone to take the blame except her.

She actually expected to escape the trial by talking to the Minister? Are there still justice and laws?

“Although the Minister came from the Law Enforcement Department, he is not the kind of person who got to this position by fighting with others. He should understand that pushing me out to take the blame will not help improve his situation, and may even make his situation worse.” Umbridge said confidently: “As long as I have a chance to talk to him, I will definitely convince him. It will also give me and himself a decent opportunity to exit.”

“I thought that when you decided to take up the work of registering Muggle-born wizards, you were ready to go to Azkaban with Voldemort when he fell!” Lu Yunkai sighed.

He had a deep understanding of Umbridge’s eloquence. If he didn’t know about Thicknesse’s situation, Lu Yunkai would really believe that she might be able to convince him.

But… Thicknesse is now determined to atone for his sins, and he doesn’t consider his own situation at all.

“Of course I’m prepared, but who would want to live in Azkaban if they can spend their old age at home!” Umbridge laughed, “Especially now, Dumbledore doesn’t really have an overwhelming advantage, and I don’t know why Thickness suddenly went crazy and messed with himself.”

“Well, as far as I know, Thickness was cast under the Imperius Curse by a mysterious person before, and he was lifted from the curse two days ago, and is now trying to make up for his mistakes. Do you think… there is still room for negotiation?” Lu Yunkai asked with a smile.

Silence.

“Imperius Curse? Good excuse.” Umbridge sighed softly, “Why didn’t I think of it?”

“I don’t think it should be an excuse.” Lu Yunkai said with a smile.

This despicable person, he is so despicable to everyone…

There is no way to communicate, forget it.

“It seems that I have to spend the rest of my life in Azkaban, or else…” Umbridge sighed and looked at Lu Yunkai, “It would be nice to leave England and live in a place where no one knows me.”

“Want to escape? Then you must do it as soon as possible.”

“Yeah.” Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai.

“…What for?” Lu Yunkai’s heart skipped a beat.

“Escape is very expensive. And living in a new place is also very expensive… You are rich, right?”

“Does it matter to you whether I am rich or not?”

“I have helped you several times, whether it was when we were at Hogwarts or with Irene Hill.” Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai and said, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to say that?”

Lu Yunkai breathed hard.

Although this was a naked attempt to repay a favor, Lu Yunkai really couldn’t refute it.

After all, he really owed a favor for Irene.

In addition, when he was at Hogwarts, Umbridge also gave him face for Trelawney’s matter. Lu Yunkai really couldn’t do such a thing as turning his face and denying it.

Besides, it’s just money!

As long as she doesn’t ask for too much, this is simply the easiest way to repay a favor.

So how much money does she want?
