Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 302
c302 Commentary
“Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, how may I help you?”
“I’m here for questioning. Lu Yunkai.”
Lu Yunkai handed the magic wand and communication mirror to the information desk.
Two days later, the Ministry of Magic.
“Three underground floors, fifth interrogation room.”
The fat witch sitting behind the information desk first picked up Lu Yunkai’s wand and took a look, then poked Lu Yunkai’s mirror in front of her with her own wand and said to Lu Yunkai.
“Okay.” Lu Yunkai saw a pattern appearing on his communication mirror and nodded.
“Where’s this one?” The witch looked at Daphne who was beside Lu Yunkai.
“Daphne Greengrass. I’m feeling a little unwell and she came with me.” Lu Yunkai answered for Daphne.
“Register the wand.” The witch motioned to Daphne.
Daphne quickly handed over the wand in her hand.
…
“Yunkai! Will you be okay?”
“If you are afraid, don’t follow…”
“Don’t I care about you!!” Daphne pinched the arm of Lu Yunkai in her arms slightly angrily.
“But I didn’t expect that the last time I came to the Ministry of Magic, they were still using paper airplanes, and now they have started to use communication mirrors.” Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, “The progress is quite fast.”
“Thank you for being able to laugh! You are here to be interrogated!”
“This is an inquiry, not an interrogation! And this is all my money, why can’t I laugh…”
Before Lu Yunkai finished speaking, the magic elevator had already brought him and Daphne to the third underground floor.
The guidance sign on the communication mirror led the two of them to an inquiry room.
Sitting in the room was a male wizard who was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, looking at the communication mirror in his hand.
“Hello?” Lu Yunkai greeted politely.
“Come in and sit down.” The wizard put away the communication mirror and looked at Lu Yunkai.
First he was stunned.
“Lu Yunkai??”
“Well, it’s me.” Lu Yunkai sat on the chair opposite the wizard with a polite smile.
Daphne stood behind him.
“Why are you here…are you the one who is going to be questioned today??” The young wizard obviously didn’t come to his senses.
“Um…do we know each other?”
“Oh, you may not remember me. I went to Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament as Durmstrang’s representative.” The wizard introduced himself.
“…I’m sorry. I really can’t remember clearly.” Lu Yunkai smiled a little embarrassedly.
No, man, if you had participated in the Triwizard Tournament back then, you would have only been working for two years at most, right? Then you will be able to stand up to the sky at the age of twenty!
How on earth did you waste your time to look thirty or forty years old? ?
“It doesn’t matter.” The young wizard didn’t know that Lu Yunkai was madly complaining in his heart. He smiled and waved his hand, and glanced at Daphne who was following Lu Yunkai, but didn’t say much, “You were in Gringotts the day before yesterday. ?”
“Yes.” Lu Yunkai knew that the formal inquiry stage had now entered, so he put away his pleasantries and answered seriously, “I went to withdraw money at that time, but because my wand was damaged before, I replaced it with a new one. Wand, so their customer service took me to the back to update the wand information. When I came out after updating the information, I happened to encounter the incident. I was worried that someone would be injured, so I went to help with the rescue. ”
“Did you use the Oblivion Charm?”
“Forgetting spell? No.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I just cast a few healing spells.”
“Can I check your wand?”
“certainly!”
Lu Yunkai smiled and placed the Elder Wand on the table between the two of them.
The wizard picked up his wand and looked around.
A backtracking spell was cast.
For a while.
“Well, thank you for your cooperation.” The wizard returned the wand to Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai took the wand with a smile.
Backtracking spell?
Lu Yunkai had been on guard against this for a long time! When he was in Gringotts, he had wands in both hands. The old wand held the healing spell, and the wand he bought temporarily from the system held the oblivion charm.
Now that the wand on which he cast seventeen or eighty-eight forgetting spells has been sold back to the system, how could he possibly find out!
The Elder Wand is now full of records of healing spells, okay? !
“You were at the scene and saw who controlled the dragon to fly out of the ground?”
“No. When I came out, the place was already in chaos.” Lu Yunkai told a little lie.
“Then did you see anyone casting the Forgetting Curse?” the wizard continued to ask.
“I didn’t pay attention. I was looking for someone to cast a healing spell in the ruins, and there were other people helping me. Maybe someone else did this?” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I think we can check the Gringotts visit records and we can find out. Who did it?”
“…Yeah.” The wizard nodded.
In fact, he felt the same way.
When the Gringotts people reported the incident yesterday morning, everyone in the Legal Enforcement Department felt that since it was found that Bellatrix Lestrange visited Gringotts before the incident, and that The dragon hidden underground by Gringotts was also used by them to protect the treasuries of the big magic families. Obviously, this matter had something to do with her.
However, both Minister Thickness and the new Director Kingsley signaled that they should investigate.
This is superfluous.
“Anything else?” Seeing that the wizard had completely accepted his statement, Lu Yunkai was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” The wizard reached out to stop Lu Yunkai, then looked around.
This action made Lu Yunkai and Daphne stunned.
“Can I talk to you alone for a few words?” The wizard swung the wand in his hand high up.
A confidentiality spell was cast.
“It’s okay, Daphne knows everything. You… should have heard about it.” Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne.
“That’s right. For her, you actually studied the dark magic in a big way.” The wizard smiled and nodded.
He was talking about the alchemical ritual that Lu Yunkai asked Furong about, which everyone who participated in the Triwizard Tournament knew at the time.
“What’s the matter?”
“Have you heard about Umbridge?”
“…”
“It is said that someone saw Umbridge walk into Gringotts that day.” The wizard lowered his voice, “She is your introducer, right?”
“…Are you also a member of the Mutual Aid League?”
Lu Yunkai looked at the wizard in front of him with a strange expression, and didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
“Well. I spent a lot of effort to get in. I really envy you.” The wizard smiled helplessly, “So, why did you and Umbridge appear in that place together that day?”
“…She asked me to borrow money.” Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, and then said half-truthfully: “She was a little worried about her recent situation and needed some money to smooth over the relationship. I agreed to lend her money because she had helped me introduce it.”
“Alas! She is so unlucky.” The wizard smiled and sighed, “She had been clinging to Fudge’s thigh before, but Fudge fell, and then she wanted to take advantage of the You-Know-Who’s re-emergence to gain a position, but who would have thought that the minister suddenly changed his mind and wanted to push her out to take the blame… Now, she is gone, and she has really taken the blame.”
“…I wanted to find her that day but couldn’t find her. I thought she could escape before anything happened.” Lu Yunkai continued to say half-truthfully.
“Why are you running away? This morning, the department has already sentenced her in her absence.” The wizard shook his head, “Wow, seven or eight charges. Even if she is alive now, she probably can’t escape and will live in Azkaban for the rest of her life. It’s better for her to die.”
“… So soon?”
“That’s right! Many people want to get out of the vortex as soon as possible, and everyone pushes down the wall when it falls!” The wizard nodded, “So I want to remind you that although she is your introducer, you are you and she is her. No matter what shit is accused of her, don’t think about overturning her case because of our past friendship. Otherwise, those people may not let you go.”
“I understand.” Lu Yunkai nodded with a strange expression.
Overturn the case? I wish she would never be able to turn over a new leaf! !
“But actually, I suggest you not to think about joining the Ministry of Magic after graduation.” The wizard sighed softly and said, “These people should be on guard against you to avenge Umbridge in the future, so even if you can join the Ministry of Magic, you will inevitably be suppressed.”
“…Well, thank you.” Lu Yunkai nodded.
“Okay, that’s all for this matter.” Seeing that Lu Yunkai agreed very straightforwardly, the wizard waved his wand again, “You go first.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne.
Daphne was stunned at first, but soon reacted and reached out to help Lu Yunkai up.
Then she helped Lu Yunkai, who actually didn’t need her help to walk by himself, out of the inquiry room.
…
“What do you mean just now? Why did you suddenly want me to help you?”
After returning home through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic, sitting in the reception room, Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai, who was as gloomy as water in front of her, with a curious look on her face.
She could see that Lu Yunkai was in a bad mood.
But she didn’t know why.
“Showing weakness.” Lu Yunkai said gloomily: “That wizard… represented that group of people and gave me an ultimatum.”
“Ah? What do you mean?”
“Nothing.” Lu Yunkai took a deep breath, then looked at Daphne, and smiled again, “Ignore him.”
“How can I ignore him!!”
“They should have guessed that the Oblivion Curse was related to me.” Seeing Daphne’s relentless look, Lu Yunkai could only explain helplessly: “But the reason for their guess should be that I want everyone to forget that I entered Gringotts with Umbridge. And it is obvious that Umbridge must not just ask me for money to smooth things over…”
“Ah??” Daphne didn’t understand and was a little confused.
“They guessed that Umbridge went to Gringotts with me and wanted me to give her money to escape. Even now that Umbridge has disappeared, she must have successfully escaped. This is unacceptable to those who need Umbridge to shirk responsibility and protect themselves. So my actions went against the interests of most of them, and then I was expelled from their organization.” Lu Yunkai could only explain it in a simpler way.
“This…” Daphne understood a little bit, with a ridiculous expression on her face, “This group of people is too selfish, right??”
“So no matter Dumbledore, Grindelwald or Voldemort, they all disliked this group of people!” Lu Yunkai sighed deeply, “But they couldn’t do anything about this group of people. Grindelwald wanted to overthrow them but failed, Dumbledore simply hid in Hogwarts for his whole life, and Voldemort wanted to use them, but he was thrown away as soon as he lost power…”
As he spoke, holding the magic wand, Lu Yunkai pulled out a wisp of silver smoke from his eyes.
Memory.
Received in a potion bottle.
“…What are you doing?” Daphne was a little curious.
“Stay here and let people see it! This is the Ministry of Magic!” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Some things really need to change.”
“… I think you should not be too impulsive.” Seeing Lu Yunkai’s depressed look, Daphne quickly comforted him, “Let them rot! You should learn from Dumbledore and stay in Hogwarts.”
“But hiding in Hogwarts is useless after all. Dumbledore hid for his whole life, but he didn’t hide in the end.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “If it weren’t for the Ministry of Magic’s gang of idiots forcing Dumbledore to stand up against Voldemort, but as a representative of the magic world, he really took on the responsibility of fighting Voldemort, Dumbledore would not die!!”
“…”
“So! Someone has to do something… Let Kingsley do it!”
“…”
Silence.
Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai with a strange expression.
“What?”
“You scared me to death!! I thought you were going to openly oppose the Ministry of Magic! You said it so righteously, but you ended up pushing Kingsley to take the blame!!”
Daphne, who was worried to death, burst out laughing.
“I’m not stupid!! Grindelwald is a lesson for me, why would I be so desperate!” Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Daphne, “Kingsley is a member of the Order of the Phoenix after all, and the most likely successor to the Minister of Magic now. If he doesn’t take the blame, who will? I’m a Slytherin, why should I learn from Gryffindor and go out and act recklessly!!”
“…Slytherin’s reputation is ruined by people like you!!”
Daphne smiled and nodded gently.
