Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 266 Instructions

Malfoy went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. After his two followers followed him out, Lu Yunkai didn’t see them again all morning.

After Brace read the divination books next to Lu Yunkai for a while, he couldn’t bear the loneliness. He took out the communication mirror and poked it with his wand for a while. Without talking to Lu Yunkai, he patted his butt, stood up and left. lounge.

Lu Yunkai sat alone in the lounge from morning to noon.

It was lunch time before I left the lounge and came to the auditorium.

However, the moment he walked into the auditorium, Lu Yunkai realized that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.

He found that almost all the students were looking at him secretly, but when he glanced over, those students lowered their heads one after another, pretending to be eating.

“Damn it Snape. It’s killing me.”

Lu Yunkai sat down at the Slytherin table while despising the man who had brought him to this point.

Malfoy, who followed him, quietly slipped into the auditorium.

“Draco, where have you been??” Goyle, who was already eating in the auditorium, saw Malfoy coming in behind Lu Yunkai and asked quickly, “Why can’t we find you?”

“Didn’t go anywhere.” Malfoy glanced at Lu Yunkai who was sitting there, then came to his side and sat down.

Goyle, who was ignored by him, was stunned.

“Have you found it?” Lu Yunkai asked Malfoy in a low voice.

“Yeah. What a great place. Thanks.”

“Don’t be so polite to me.”

The conversation between the two was so low that even Crabbe, who was sitting opposite them, couldn’t hear what they said.

“Draco, I think we need to talk.”

Just when the two of them were about to say something more, Pansy, who was sitting not far away with red eyes, started talking to Malfoy.

“I have something to do. Let’s talk about it later.” Malfoy waved his hand.

Quiet.

Pansy’s tears fell again.

Malfoy turned his head and didn’t look at her.

In the auditorium, the atmosphere was strange.

Lu Yunkai decided that it would be better to finish his lunch as quickly as possible and escape from the auditorium.

However.

Just when Lu Yunkai was working hard with his head buried in the food, someone in the auditorium shouted his name loudly.

Lu Yunkai instinctively raised his head and looked over.

It was Dean Thomas, a sixth-year Gryffindor student, a student who did not appear in Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning.

Just when Lu Yunkai was about to ask what he was going to do, Dean Thomas suddenly stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and began to applaud.

Seamus Finnigan, who was next to him, also stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and whistled.

At the Hufflepuff House table, Justin Finch-Fletchley and Hannah Abbott also clapped together.

Then, Michael Korner and Lisa Dupin of Ravenclaw.

And then……

The whole auditorium burst into applause.

Huge applause.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

So, what happened in the morning was known to everyone?

…Okay, damn Dumbledore, you win.

When Lu Yunkai watched the students in the entire auditorium applaud because of their gratitude to him, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt his nose was a little sore.

Some people are really worth it.

A long time.

“thank you all.”

After finally regaining his composure, Lu Yunkai stood up and bowed seriously in front of the students in the auditorium.

Then, he sat down again and picked up the corn at hand again.

“Hey, our hero.” Blaise, who was sitting opposite Lu Yunkai, smiled and clapped along, while teasing Lu Yunkai with a smile.

“…Everyone can become a hero by fighting for what we believe in and what we are willing to protect.”

Lu Yunkai said in a low voice.

But it spread throughout the entire auditorium.

“Just pretend.” Blaise smiled silently and shook his head.

…

Although he understood that his classmates’ attention to him was well-intentioned, Lu Yunkai still didn’t like the feeling of being stared at, so he finished his lunch as quickly as possible and fled the auditorium.

When he left, neither Snape nor the Carrow brothers and sisters, who were so arrogant at last night’s dinner and this morning, appeared in the Great Hall.

The afternoon of the first day was Muggle Studies.

In previous years at Hogwarts, this course was led by Professor Charity Bubbaji, who was very kind to Muggles.

And Lu Yunkai is also a student she likes very much: after all, Lu Yunkai knows more about Muggles than even her, a professor.

But now there has suddenly been a U-turn, and he has been replaced by a professor who can guess with his toes that he is full of malice towards Muggles. Lu Yunkai is very sure that on the first day of the new school year, he will bring the two students of Hogwarts together. All the new professors offended Guang…

But he seemed to be worrying too much.

When Lu Yunkai came to the Muggle Studies classroom in the afternoon, he did not see Alecto Carlo.

Even a large group of sixth-grade students waited in the classroom for a long time, but did not wait for the female Professor Carlo, so they could only leave the classroom with complaints.

It was not until evening that they met the new Muggle Studies professor in the auditorium.

She looked very embarrassed.

The hair is no longer as neat as before, as if it had been chopped with a knife. It is messy, and there is even an injury on the face from somewhere…

And her brother Amycus wasn’t much better.

The expressions of both of them were gloomy, making the atmosphere in the entire auditorium become very depressing.

Even at the end of the meal, the two of them didn’t even jump out and ask all the students to return to the lounge as a team.

It seemed that Lu Yunkai had won.

But he always felt something was wrong.

Because when he left the auditorium after dinner, he and Amycus made eye contact.

What he saw in Amycus’s eyes was not emotions like fear or fear.

But a kind of…

Cruel.

Do these two guys want to do anything else?

When Lu Yunkai returned to his dormitory, before he had time to look at the books on Potions and Divination that he would take tomorrow, he was informed that Dean Slughorn was looking for him.

With some curiosity and instinctive uneasiness, Lu Yunkai came to Slughorn’s luxurious office.

Slughorn, wearing silk pajamas, was eating some kind of snack.

“Here you come? Do you want to try the cake?”

“…No need. Father, is this why you called me here?”

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Slughorn glanced at Lu Yunkai, put down the silver fork in his hand, wiped his empty mouth with a napkin, and then looked at Lu Yunkai, “You got into trouble today. ,do you know?”

“Snape forced me.” Lu Yunkai answered casually.

“No. Do you know what I said about you?” Slughorn smiled, and then sighed softly, “You think I said you shouldn’t confront Amycus in class?”

“……Is not it?”

“Severus greeted me and said that both Dumbledore and the mysterious man wanted you to confront Amycus.” Slughorn sighed softly, “Don’t you still want to fight against Amycus?” Know?”

“…I guessed it, but I don’t understand why.”

“You think about it slowly, I won’t tell you the answer to this matter.” Slughorn shook his head, “This weekend, I will hold a Slug Club party, and a group of children I invited will come. You , come too.”

“…I’m not interested in parties or anything like that.”

“Idiot! Even Tom Riddle never refused my invitation back then!” Slughorn scolded Lu Yunkai with some hatred, “Go back and think about it!”

“…Father, can you tell me something directly? I…is not in the mood to think so much.” Lu Yunkai was also a little annoyed, and he was not so polite when he spoke.

“You!!” Slughorn sighed, “Do you know why the wizarding world is afraid of You-Know-Who?”

“…Because he is cruel enough.”

“Yes. He is ruthless enough.” Slughorn nodded, “He will destroy all his enemies mercilessly, trying every means to kill them, even an infant who is still in the swaddle. Yes. And all of this is based entirely on his own judgment.”

“Then he was killed by that baby.” Lu Yunkai complained silently, “He was headstrong.”

“In comparison!!” Slughorn glared at Lu Yunkai and continued: “Even Grindelwald used magic instead of his inner judgment when choosing his followers. As long as he can pass He is willing to accept magic regardless of whether he was on the opposite side before, or even a Muggle.”

“So… is it because Voldemort is more unpredictable?” Lu Yunkai finally understood.

“Yes!” Slughorn nodded, “What Grindelwald wants is to oppose the International Statute of Secrecy, and what is the International Statute of Secrecy? That is a regulation there. Everyone can follow it or oppose it. He makes a decision in his heart, but the mysterious man is different. He claims that he wants to transform the wizard into a pure blood, but in fact, all he wants is obedience, absolute obedience… And what you did today violated his taboo. “

“…”

Lu Yunkai didn’t know what to say for a while.

Absolute obedience? Just a few years ago, I used to talk nonsense in front of him, asking him to get used to accepting suggestions from others! If this is considered taboo, then how did I survive until now?

“He is my student and Dumbledore’s student. We all watched him grow up.” Slughorn sighed softly and continued: “Even compared to the time he entered school, To guard against his Dumbledore, Tom is more familiar with me, and I understand him better… well, at least the one he wants me to understand is what you did when you led the crowd against Amycus in class. Yes, but the mistake you made was giving him an opportunity to complain to the mysterious person.”

“Is it possible that I still want to kill him?” Lu Yunkai was speechless.

“Or in the eyes of the mysterious man, at least control him with spells or some other means.” Slughorn nodded, “If you can’t completely defeat the enemy, don’t become your opponent. This is why the mysterious man has been holding back for more than ten years. Once The key to dominating the entire British wizarding world is to appear. Any opportunity given to the opponent to resist is a threat to oneself.”

“This is the mysterious person’s point of view, not mine.” Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously.

“But he is training you as his successor.” Slughorn smiled. “He hopes that you can continue his career in another way. So he is preparing for you.”

“…Buy the hearts and minds of Hogwarts people??” Lu Yunkai finally understood.

“Yes. But Dumbledore…after all, he has seen more and understands people’s hearts better, so he chose to take advantage of his scheme.” Slughorn nodded, “You think you did something great today, but in fact , It’s just their pawn.”

“…I don’t think I did anything great.” Lu Yunkai shook his head in a bad mood.

Who in their right mind would be happy about being used as a pawn?

Besides Harry, Lu Yunkai didn’t know anyone else.

“You don’t have to be unhappy.” Seeing Lu Yunkai’s look, Slughorn smiled, “I came to you today not to tell you that you have been tricked by the two greatest wizards of our time. I believe that in the future With your knowledge and intelligence, you should be able to figure it out quickly. I just want to remind you that not everyone is qualified to be a chess piece for two people like this.”

“Should I still be happy?” Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly.

“Of course! It’s an honor!” Slughorn stopped smiling and sat upright from the sofa. “Besides, they are all giving you things. You don’t want them. It’s worth it.” Yourself?”

“deliver??”

“The mysterious man gave you a gift, and Dumbledore wanted to give Hogwarts to you…” Slughorn smiled, “And both of them are doing something very important for you. thing, but you didn’t realize it at all.”

“……What?”

“Draw you out of the quagmire of the Ministry of Magic.” Slughorn sighed softly, “I heard that you have a relationship with the Wizarding Mutual Aid Association in the Ministry of Magic? You even helped Umri. Qi sent an excusing letter to the Ministry of Magic?”

“Um.”

“Then you should also know what kind of people are in the Ministry of Magic now, right? Do you really think someone like you can stay in the Ministry of Magic?”

“…I really don’t like that group of people.” Lu Yunkai sighed, “So Dumbledore asked me to stay at Hogwarts, and I agreed without thinking. Now I understand why Dumbledore Suddenly he mentioned this to me…”

“So!” Slughorn leaned back on the chair again, “Understanding this, think about it again. You didn’t beat Amycus up in class today and asked him to complain to the mysterious man. Did you make a mistake? Did the mysterious man think you were incompetent? “

“…”

“Go back. The counterattack from the brother and sister will come at the earliest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The next time you deal with it, don’t do this again.” Slughorn smiled, ” I’m waiting to see your performance.”

“…Father, won’t you give me some advice?”

“Suggestion? My suggestion is to understand that you are still just a chess piece, so you must try your best to achieve the goal of the chess player who wants to use you without giving up. Then, accumulate your own strength and compete with the two When a chess player loses control of the game, he becomes a new chess player.”

“…Can you say something I can understand?”

“Conserve your strength and show your ability.” Slughorn said with a smile: “When you are placed at both ends of the scale with Harry Potter or the Carrow brothers and sisters, it is enough that you are heavier. As for your ability to save your life… I’ve heard about it, so I’m not worried.”

“Heard? How did you hear about it?”

“Why do you think the Skyfire Potion, a powerful potion that is not restricted by the Ministry of Magic, was almost lost?” Slughorn sighed softly, “Almost no one who uses it escapes unscathed. But. I heard that you have used it several times…”

“……I see.”

“Yeah. You must come over the weekend.” Slughorn nodded, “This is your first step, do you understand?”

“yes.”

Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

“By the way, more importantly, remember to call the little girl from the Greengrass family.”

“…She is afraid that you will dislike her and dare not see you.”

“Do you think I dislike her?”

“Shouldn’t…”

“Then you won’t tell her?”

“She doesn’t believe it…”

“Then I’ll tell her myself!”

“oh.”

…
