Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 308
c308 aftermath
“Apparition near Hogwarts is monitored. You don’t really think that no one knows you can come and go as you please?”
In the principal’s office.
Lu Yunkai stood there helplessly, and in front of him, Snape sat on a chair, looking at him with a scrutinizing look.
There was an indescribable tension in the room.
“I’m sorry, professor.” Lu Yunkai admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.
“What did you do when you went out?”
Snape didn’t seem surprised at all that Lu Yunkai admitted his mistake so quickly, and still stared at him and asked.
“Something private.”
“Don’t lie to me.” Snape interrupted Lu Yunkai’s words word by word, “You have been very honest in school this year. As soon as your pet cat appeared today, you sneaked out in the middle of the night. Have you been arranging something for your pet cat?”
“This…how did you know that Chris came to school today?”
Lu Yunkai was a little surprised that Snape knew about this, and asked embarrassedly.
“Answer my question.” Snape was very unhappy with Lu Yunkai’s question, “Is there anything else you want to hide from me?”
“The Dark Lord contacted me.” Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth and told the truth.
Indeed, as Lu Yunkai’s most trusted person in Hogwarts (even before Slughorn), Snape seemed to have no need to hide anything from him.
“…”
Snape’s face was gloomy.
But he didn’t look surprised, as if he had guessed it long ago.
“In fact, the Dark Lord has long wanted to find me through Nagini, but Chris didn’t tell me because she was worried about my NEWTS test results. Today is the last day of the test, so it came to me tonight.” Lu Yunkai told everything that happened in one go.
“Nagini? Sure enough, she is the person the Dark Lord trusts the most.” Snape nodded silently.
“… Professor, if I understand correctly… Are you jealous?” Lu Yunkai’s expression was a little weird for a moment.
“What does the Dark Lord want you to do?” Snape, of course, ignored Lu Yunkai’s jokes and brought the topic back to business, “How is he now?”
“He? Half dead, he said he wanted me to help him revive, but in fact he probably didn’t have that idea.” Lu Yunkai continued to report truthfully, “He already knew that Bellatrix was still alive, and Nagini had to obey my orders.”
“Since the Dark Lord also knew that he couldn’t ask you to help revive, why did he come to you?”
“Not sure. Although it seems that he may want to remind me that he is immortal, make me feel scared, and then force me to do things for him, but I don’t think he should be so naive.” Lu Yunkai said truthfully: “And I said a lot of words to provoke him, trying to make him lose control of his emotions, but he seemed to be helpless.”
“… Yeah.”
Snape nodded with a serious expression and said nothing more.
The room fell into silence, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Silence for a long time.
“Professor…” Seeing that Snape seemed to have forgotten his existence while thinking about the problem, Lu Yunkai could only whisper in a low voice: “If there is nothing else, I will go back to sleep first… It’s getting late.”
“Sleep? Are you in a hurry to find your cat?”
“…”
“Okay. Come to my office tomorrow morning.” Snape said in a low voice: “Regarding the matter of the Dark Lord, I think it is necessary to discuss it again. I will ask Minister Kingsley to come as well.”
“Kingsley? Should I ask Nagini to come? This matter is related to her. It would be inappropriate for her not to come, right?”
“Do you want Harry to come too?” Snape glared at Lu Yunkai.
“…No need.” Lu Yunkai shook his head immediately.
Well, sometimes, it seems that the person involved does not need to be present!
…
“So, what’s going on? Why hasn’t Voldemort died yet?”
The next morning, Lu Yunkai found an excuse to “talk to Professor Snape about taking up his position at the school next year”, leaving Daphne, who wanted to drag him to take some commemorative photos at Hogwarts (like before the summer vacation of the first grade), in the lounge, and took Chris to the principal’s office.
In addition to Snape, Kingsley and Professor McGonagall also appeared in the principal’s office.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward with four people and one cat.
Professor McGonagall’s somewhat annoyed question made the atmosphere even more depressing.
“Professor, didn’t Dumbledore tell you about the Horcruxes?”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Snape and Kingsley who were silent, and could only bite the bullet and tell McGonagall about the Horcruxes.
His mood was very complicated.
Lu Yunkai really couldn’t understand why Dumbledore had never told McGonagall about the Horcruxes.
Is it because he was afraid that she would worry? Or is there some other reason?
After listening to Lu Yunkai’s story about the Horcruxes, McGonagall, who was originally shocked that Voldemort was still alive, remained silent.
“Dumbledore didn’t tell you about the Horcruxes, Minerva, because he hoped that you could concentrate on your teaching job at school and not worry about these things.” Kingsley comforted McGonagall, “No matter how many people know about this, it’s actually useless.”
“Then why does even Lu Yunkai know about it?” Mag glanced at Lu Yunkai.
“because……”
Lu Yunkai could only bite the bullet and told her about Slughorn again.
This time, Mag’s face finally looked a little better.
Of course, only a little bit.
“So, where is Voldemort now?” Seeing that McGonagall had calmed down, Kingsley asked Lu Yunkai, “Is there any danger?”
“Let’s all take a look.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, took out the wand directly from his pocket, pointed it to his eyes, brought up a memory, then took out the pensieve and threw the memory in.
He motioned to the other three people to go and see how he saw Voldemort in the cave last night.
However.
“…Where did that wand in your hand come from?”
Kingsley looked at the wand in Lu Yunkai’s hand with a solemn expression.
That wand once belonged to Dumbledore, of course he knew it.
“Dumbledore gave it to him.” Snape said from the side before Lu Yunkai could answer: “As a reward for Lu Yunkai’s help in lifting the curse on him.”
“Is there such a thing?” Kingsley didn’t seem to believe it.
“The magic circle that removes the curse has an additional contract that makes the cursed person a servant of the curser. When Dumbledore agreed to let Lu Yunkai help him remove the curse, the wand already belonged to Lu Yunkai.” Snee. Pu seemed to know a lot of inside information and said patiently: “This was originally part of Dumbledore’s plan. But unfortunately, he died in Nurmengard before the plan could be implemented.”
“Is there such a thing?” The question this time was from Lu Yunkai.
He really doesn’t know! !
“Yes.” Snape nodded, “According to Dumbledore’s plan, he will find an opportunity to die in Voldemort’s hands, let this wand fall into Voldemort’s hands, and then Voldemort will take this wand. Come and kill Harry…and after he dies, I will tell you this and let you find a reason to duel with Harry, and you were defeated by Harry using the disarming spell in the duel…”
“Then this wand technically belongs to Harry, so Voldemort can’t kill him?”
“Yes.” Snape nodded, “In addition to the Resurrection Stone that Dumbledore left for Harry, and the invisibility cloak that he originally owned…”
“Deathly Hallows??” Lu Yunkai finally fully understood, “Victory over death??”
“Harry will know that he is Voldemort’s Horcrux, and he will definitely be willing to die generously, but Voldemort’s Imperius Curse cannot kill Harry, but will kill his own soul attached to Harry. In this way, he only has the last Horcrux left…” Snape finished with a calm expression.
Quiet.
“Dumbledore is really despicable.” Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.
“Lu Yunkai! How can you say that about Dumbledore!” Mag was very unhappy when he heard Lu Yunkai’s words.
“Use your own death to force Harry and Nagini to die too, hehe… You really can afford it!!” Lu Yunkai snorted, then looked at the person next to him who must have heard this for the first time. Kingsley said, “Your Excellency, do you support this plan?”
“…” Kingsley remained silent.
Seeing that Kingsley didn’t answer, Lu Yunkai felt a little more at ease.
It seems that this minister is not someone who is willing to sacrifice everything to achieve his goal!
so far so good……
“Let’s take a look at your memory first.” Professor McGonagall looked very unhappy. She was unhappy with what Lu Yunkai said about Dumbledore, but she didn’t know how to refute it at the moment, so she could only change the topic.
Lu Yunkai’s memory didn’t last long, and the three of them finished reading it quickly.
When they all stood awake next to the pensieve without saying a word, Lu Yunkai understood that these three people were shocked by Voldemort’s current appearance.
“Voldemort is no longer capable of killing Harry.” Kingsley sighed softly, “Dumbledore’s plan is useless.”
“And I absolutely disagree with Nagini being sacrificed under such circumstances.” Lu Yunkai said this firmly.
“Nagini has done a lot for the Order of the Phoenix. We really can’t force her to die.” Snape also interjected, “She did help us too much before.”
“Then let Voldemort continue to live?? There will never be peace in the wizarding world!!” Professor McGonagall’s attitude was different.
“The way he is now, life is worse than death.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I talked to Chrissy last night, and she promised to keep an eye on Voldemort for us to ensure that he can’t escape. This is also equivalent to lifelong imprisonment. Imprisoned.”
Chrissy, who had been silent all along, nodded her head after listening to Lu Yunkai’s words.
When Lu Yunkai discussed this matter with it last night, it didn’t hesitate at all and agreed directly.
It would be best if Voldemort died. If he didn’t die… Chris thought it would be great for him to become the prison manager.
“Lu Yunkai, Bellatrix is also under your control now?” Professor McGonagall started a conversation about another story in her memory.
“Well, in my house, she is looked after by the house elves and Eileen. She is also very honest and is raising the baby with peace of mind.”
“…Well, you did a good job.” McGonagall nodded, “You didn’t take your anger out on the children because of Voldemort and Bellatrix’s actions.”
“What about Bellatrix?” Kingsley was concerned about this question.
“After the child is born, send her to Azkaban. She has already agreed to this.” Lu Yunkai said calmly, “The child is innocent, but she is guilty.”
“Yeah.” Kingsley looked at Lu Yunkai with a little more relief and appreciation.
“So, the question now is, the Dark Lord…is this how it’s dealt with?” Snape didn’t want to say more about Bellatrix’s matter, and continued to bring the topic back to the business.
“This is also the best way to deal with it.” Kingsley nodded, “I think it is safer to arrange for Lu Yunkai to take care of him alone than to send him to Azkaban.”
“I agree.” McGonagall nodded, “But this will put Lu Yunkai in some danger… Maybe there are Death Eaters who escaped and want to save Voldemort…”
“Now the only one who knows about this, besides the four of us, is Nagini.” Lu Yunkai interrupted McGonagall, “Nagini will definitely not tell anyone, so if this matter is leaked…”
“Lu Yunkai is right.” Kingsley nodded, “Voldemort is not dead yet, so let’s cover it up.”
“The problem is, can your cat keep an eye on the Dark Lord?” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai and asked.
“Meow?? Do you look down on me?” Chris shouted angrily.
“It’s impossible for Voldemort to use magic now. It’s easy for Chris to deal with him…”
“Don’t underestimate the influence of the Dark Lord.” Snape shook his head. “Many people thought they would never become his slaves, but ended up becoming Death Eaters for no apparent reason. And the Dark Lord had gone to Eastern Europe in this state before. If he wanted to escape one day, could your cat really catch him?”
“…What do you mean?” Lu Yunkai couldn’t refute it after hearing this.
Indeed.
Sirius wanted to kill Voldemort before but failed. He chased him all over Europe but couldn’t catch him…
“Then we can take turns to guard him at an appropriate time.” Kingsley thought for a while and said, “This is not difficult to handle. Or recruit some wizards…”
“The more people he contacts, the less safe it is.” Snape shook his head. “I have a suggestion. The Dark Lord… let me be responsible for guarding him.”
“What??”
