Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 275 Goodbye
After hearing the story about Snape from Slughorn, Lu Yunkai was surprisingly honest that day.
Although the communication mirror was very lively, Nagini, Harry, Hermione, and even Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy and the Weasley twins all sent him messages, but he did not reply.
He stayed quietly by Daphne’s side.
Quietly looking at the notebook Snape gave him.
Daphne, on the other hand, was leaning in his arms, holding a small wooden carving of unknown origin in her hand, playing with it as if she was thinking about something or in a daze.
Then a sentence pops up from time to time.
“Tell me, how did Snape feel when he saw the girl he liked with another man for the first time?”
“Tell me, did Harry’s mother ever like Snape?”
“Tell me, how did Snape feel when he found out that the mysterious man killed Harry’s parents?”
“you say……”
But Lu Yunkai didn’t answer a word.
he does not know.
The notebook in his hand contained some notes on attempts and study of various spells. Lu Yunkai opened the first page but did not read it.
Although this note is not very difficult, why wasn’t he thinking about what he just heard in his mind?
Lu Yunkai was also listening and thinking about every question Daphne asked, but there was no answer.
He still remembered how uncomfortable he felt last year when Harry alienated him because of Voldemort.
This is true for a friend, let alone a girl he likes? Lu Yunkai really didn’t want to think about what might happen to Daphne one day…
Well, no.
Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, who was leaning in his arms, and felt somewhat calmer.
However, he still felt unworthy of Snape.
How could a person with a long-lasting love like Snape be as cold and gloomy as he usually showed in school and in front of students?
He… must have had such a hard life!
Suddenly, Lu Yunkai remembered Snape’s earnest but reluctant advice a few years ago when he used Legilimency to learn from Hermione that he wanted to sneak into Voldemort’s camp.
At that time, Lu Yunkai really couldn’t understand why Snape, who was obviously a double agent, would talk to him like that.
Now, Lu Yunkai finally understood.
The story about Snape is not complete yet, such as what is the love-hate relationship between him and Harry’s mother, and how Harry’s parents defeated Qingmei from the sky… But Lu Yunkai also I no longer want to pursue it any further.
Snape said if you want to know something, use Legilimency on him.
Lu Yunkai would not do this.
So, just pretend you don’t know.
…
When Lu Yunkai’s thoughts were stuck in Snape’s story, he completely let go of things that happened around the school that he had no intention of getting involved in.
Watching the performance of the adult wizards, Lu Yunkai felt very peaceful.
The staff who came to Hogwarts on orders from the Ministry of Magic to investigate drove all the students back to their respective lounges, and then conducted a large-scale inspection of the castle.
When Sirius escaped from prison a few years ago, such an inspection was carried out. Even more staff came at that time. No useful information was found at that time, but it does not mean that it will not be found this time.
I don’t know which investigator had a flash of idea, or where he got the notice, but the passage leading from Honeydukes store to Hogwarts was finally discovered.
Then this passage was completely sealed by several Ministry of Magic employees who jointly cast spells.
A broken mirror was found in the passage. After inspection by Ministry of Magic officials, it was determined that it once belonged to a certain Hogwarts student.
However, no specific conclusion has been drawn as to who it is, or whether the mirror belongs to a junior student who escaped from Hogwarts or an upperclassman who escaped from Hogsmeade.
Of course, they didn’t have time to worry too much about this mirror, because just when a group of Ministry of Magic staff were arguing with the professors at Hogwarts about whether to “call the inventor of the communication mirror to come out and identify it,” Hogg Around Watts, several fights broke out.
This group of employees who originally came to Hogwarts to search for hidden underage wizards, after a half-day dispute, were transformed into law enforcement officers of the Ministry of Magic and went to arbitration.
This kind of work attitude of “we are not here to do this kind of work, why should we meddle in other people’s business” is very Ministry of Magic. When Kingsley was the first to appear at the scene of the battle outside Hogwarts Castle, nearly an hour had passed since the battle broke out outside the castle.
Even the traces of the battle have been cleaned up at the scene, let alone arrests.
So that night, although most Hogwarts students heard that there were several fierce duels between wizards outside the castle that day, few people knew the results of those battles.
This issue was being discussed in almost all the college lounges that night.
Out of curiosity, I flew to Hogwarts with the owl at noon the next day to report on the Prophet’s Day.
Because the article published above clearly informed everyone of the results of the battle in a not-so-obscure way.
“Death Eaters attempted to attack Ministry of Magic staff but were stopped by righteous men”
Coupled with the photo of Hogwarts bathed in the morning sunshine on the front page, it gives people the illusion that the darkness has dissipated and the sun will eventually return to the earth.
There is no need to say more about the outcome. Voldemort’s men obviously suffered a big loss in this battle.
In addition, at noon on Monday, when the report announcing Dumbledore’s first successful counterattack went viral in the auditorium, Lu Yunkai did not see the Carlo siblings in school.
The two brothers and sisters who had been jumping up and down in the past week, together with Snape who suddenly appeared and then left immediately in school on Sunday, left Hogwarts and never came back.
Of course, Snape is still the principal of Hogwarts, and the two wizards who disappeared all morning are still professors of the school, but these two guys are missing. For most students in the school , are all good things.
Although most people are still curious about their whereabouts…
“Don’t ask, I’m just asking because I’m on a business trip.”
When someone inquired about Lu Yunkai’s place, he would say this to every student who tried to make insinuations or directly ask questions with a straight face.
In fact, although Lu Yunkai was not involved in the battle outside Hogwarts Castle, he did know a lot of things: because someone reported the results to him.
Even, two people.
One, of course, is Nagini.
“The Carlo brothers and sisters screamed for more than an hour last night. They probably won’t be able to return to Hogwarts before Halloween. No wonder Tom is so angry. Of the thirteen people who went to Hogwarts this time, only one was considered a full body If they don’t take responsibility, who is responsible? Tom or Snape?”
Nagini said.
The other person who told him the result was Malfoy.
“Last night, there were a lot of sick people in the manor. The Carlo brothers and sisters were punished by the mysterious man and couldn’t get out of bed… Could something serious have happened?”
Malfoy, who disappeared all day on Sunday and was busy repairing the disappearing cabinet, grabbed Lu Yunkai who was going to have breakfast early in the morning and asked him in a voice full of anxiety.
“Don’t worry, the mysterious man can’t collapse so easily! Besides, the sky won’t fall on your head, so don’t worry. You’d better get the disappearing cabinet ready as soon as possible. After you hand in the job, the rest will follow. It’s okay for you.”
Lu Yunkai tried his best to comfort Malfoy.
But he didn’t know whether his comfort was of any use.
Anyway, for Malfoy, fixing the disappearing cabinet first will solve many problems. The advice Lu Yunkai gave him is indeed the best way to improve his current situation. Malfoy himself knows this.
So after hearing those few words from Lu Yunkai, he didn’t get too entangled, nodded, and left.
The news he received from Nagini and Malfoy convinced Lu Yunkai that Hogwarts could finally calm down for a few days, and his mood became much better.
In fact, it’s not just Lu Yunkai.
Although the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies classes were temporarily brought to a standstill due to the two professors leaving without saying goodbye, the atmosphere in the entire Hogwarts suddenly became joyful.
Without the two outsiders causing trouble, the school seemed to have suddenly returned to the relaxed and loving atmosphere before. Professor McGonagall, who has hardly smiled since the start of school this year, even told a joke in the Transfiguration class on Tuesday.
This relaxed mood was successfully passed on to all students.
But just when everyone was rejoicing that the dark clouds that had been hanging over Hogwarts for more than a month had finally dispersed, Lu Yunkai’s “little trouble” came.
He had been pushing him to go to the Room of Requirement to talk to Harry and the others face to face on the grounds that “Filch was staring at me every day”, but he finally couldn’t push it anymore.
…
“Are you at the door?”
“Here, did you see the tapestry?”
Lu Yunkai pointed behind him in the mirror.
At noon on Tuesday, Lu Yunkai stood there at the door of the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.
The huge wall in front of him suddenly began to have some lines, and then, it turned into a door.
The door opens.
Harry, whom he hadn’t seen for more than a month, smiled and waved to Lu Yun through the door.
Lu Yunkai put away the mirror he was talking on and walked in.
Inside is a huge space not much smaller than the auditorium. Twenty or thirty people were sitting or standing inside, gathering in twos and threes, and the buzzing sound echoed in the room.
The moment Lu Yunkai stepped into the room, the voice suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Lu Yunkai.
The intense gaze made Lu Yunkai very embarrassed.
And the whole room stopped instantly as if a timer had been pressed.
Just when Lu Yunkai wanted to ask Harry if he shouldn’t have come, he didn’t know who it was, but he took the lead and clapped his hands.
Then, a huge round of applause broke out across the room.
Lu Yunkai was stunned.
This was the second time this year that he faced such general applause, but… he was still not used to it.
Beside him, Harry had a smile on his face and clapped his hands with a proud smile, which made Lu Yunkai a little embarrassed.
…
