Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 278 Empty again

“Meow? What kind of place is this?”

“This isn’t your first time here!” Lu Yunkai took off his invisibility cloak.

A huge space filled with a lot of old furniture.

In the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, Lu Yunkai conducted an inspection.

The good news is that the room where Harry and Hermione were hiding was not opened, which at least proved that the Room of Requirement can open several rooms at the same time without affecting each other.

The bad news is…

“Meow? This is the room where you collected the junk before? Didn’t you empty it all? Why are there so many things again!”

Chrissy reacted, jumped off Lu Yunkai’s shoulder, and looked around.

“Fortunately, I came over to take a look.” Lu Yunkai’s expression was very solemn and he sighed, “The same goes for Hogwarts. It’s only been a few years, so why are there so many scrap furniture…”

“Meow? What do you mean?”

Chrissy still didn’t come to her senses.

Lu Yunkai didn’t answer him, but started busy himself.

Clean the room and sell everything in it to the system.

He moved so quickly that he didn’t even have time to look at the price of the system.

“Meow, what are you doing? Are you in such a hurry? Your system is short of money? Isn’t it?”

Chris followed Lu Yunkai and asked in a ridiculous tone.

Lu Yunkai didn’t answer and was still busy.

From late morning until around dinner time in the afternoon, I finally finished it.

When the last sofa that should have been eliminated from the Hufflepuff lounge was sold into the system by him, he was completely tired and didn’t want to talk.

“Meow, what’s going on with you? Is it because I haven’t been with you during this period that you are autistic?”

Chris, who had been following Lu Yunkai to watch his performance all afternoon, asked worriedly.

It barked next to it all afternoon, but Lu Yunkai didn’t answer it a word. It also experienced a mental journey from confusion to anger to helplessness and then to worry.

Lu Yunkai looked really scary in this state.

“Finally, we’re done.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly, “Okay, let’s go, let’s go back to the dormitory.”

“…Why are you so anxious! Just rest here for a while! I see you have been busy all afternoon, and I am so tired for you.” Chris shook his head at Lu Yunkai with some distress.

“No, this place is not safe. If Voldemort sees you, you will be in trouble.”

“Meow?? What did you say? Voldemort?” Chris was stunned, “Why did he come here…Meow!! Horcrux!!”

“Well, it seems you have come to your senses.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “Let’s go back to the dormitory first.”

“Meow, let’s go.” Chris didn’t waste any time and jumped directly onto Lu Yunkai’s shoulder.

Putting on the invisibility cloak, Lu Yunkai walked all the way back to the lounge, and then threw himself on the bed as if he was throwing away garbage.

Lying there, not wanting to move.

Chrissy squatted next to Lu Yunkai, not speaking, just staying with him quietly.

For a while.

After dinner, Blaise returned to the dormitory. When he saw Lu Yunkai lying on the bed tiredly, he was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch Chris who was squatting next to him, and then left without saying a word.

When Blaise left, Lu Yunkai finally opened his eyes.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

“I was really worried about me this afternoon.” Lu Yunkai said quietly to Chris next to him, “I’m really afraid that Voldemort will rush in while I’m dealing with things in the room…”

“Meow, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don’t understand. Why do you want to clear out the things in that room?” Seeing that Lu Yunkai finally spoke, Chris asked, “What do you mean?”

“I’m worried that Voldemort will start looking for the Horcruxes he made and bring them back to Hogwarts!” Lu Yunkai smiled silently, “If he discovers that his Horcruxes are missing… God knows what crazy things he will do. It’s a big deal. I’m afraid the whole school will be dead.”

“…Isn’t that true?” Chrissy heard Lu Yunkai’s words and was silent for a while before tentatively retorting.

“God knows, you can’t place your hopes on a madman, right?” Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly, “And I’m really afraid that he will start to do more crazy things because death is approaching.”

“Then what’s the use of clearing the room?” Chris shook her head, “Why don’t you put that crown back…”

“It’s useless to put it back! His soul fragments were soaked in your urine.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “If he can’t find it and still have some illusions, he will find the crown that is no longer a Horcrux. , is more terrifying!”

“Then is it useful for you? Everything is gone, including the crown…”

“Generally speaking, no normal person would think of clearing out so much furniture in that huge room, right?” Lu Yunkai asked Chris.

“…It seems that you also realize how abnormal you are this afternoon.” Chris secretly complained.

“So, if you originally hid the Horcrux in a room full of discarded furniture, but when the door to the Room of Requirement opened, you found an empty room with nothing, what would you think?”

“…Wrong room?” Chrissy finally understood Lu Yunkai’s thinking.

“Yes!” Lu Yunkai nodded, “As long as he can’t find the room filled with worn-out furniture, even if he can’t find his Horcrux, he won’t suspect that the Horcrux inside has been destroyed. Instead, he will Because I feel safe and relieved…”

Speaking of this, Lu Yun smiled.

“He can’t even find what he hid himself, so why should he worry about being found by others?”

“Meow, what you said makes sense.” Chris nodded.

“So! After I heard you say this morning that Voldemort was worried about his Horcruxes, I didn’t dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran to clean that room.” Lu Yun smiled, “It’s true, Hogwart Ci’s house elf is too diligent. It’s only been a few years, but he has put in so many things.”

“But I think you may be overly worried.” Chris seemed to think of something again, “If I were Voldemort, I wouldn’t go to Hogwarts to check the Horcruxes hidden here. Unless I have something better A place where the Horcrux can be hidden, otherwise wouldn’t it be equivalent to telling others where the Horcrux is hidden?”

“Who are you telling? Is there anyone else in the British wizarding world who has the ability to track down Voldemort? He is not an underage wizard apprentice like us!” Lu Yun said with a smile, “He sneaked into Hogwarts Castle secretly take a look……”

“Speaking of this, Nagini told me that Hogwarts has access restrictions.” Chris interrupted Lu Yunkai, “Not everyone can walk in directly from the passage outside the castle.”

“Huh? Is there such a thing?”

“Yes. Otherwise, if Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts anymore, why would Voldemort still need Malfoy to build the vanishing cabinet!”

“I thought he just wanted to find a reason to deal with the Malfoys!”

This was really the first time Lu Yunkai heard about this. He had never thought that Hogwarts actually had such authority control before. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that apart from the two Agemanis, Sirius and Peter, I haven’t heard of any outsiders sneaking in.

but……

“Then how were you granted permission to visit the castle?” Lu Yunkai suddenly remembered something, “You can come with the principal’s permission, right?”

“Meow, yes! The Ministry of Magic has no control over Hogwarts. After all, when there was Hogwarts, there was no Ministry of Magic!”

“So now that Snape is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and Voldemort wants to enter the castle…is it difficult?”

“…Meow, I forgot about this. I thought Dumbledore was the principal!” Chris patted the cat’s head with her paw.

“So! It’s better to be just in case.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “Don’t go to Malfoy Castle these days. Just stay in Hogwarts and help me keep an eye on the people entering and exiting the Room of Requirement. . In case Voldemort comes, I have a good idea. If he discovers what I did… you should take Daphne and escape as soon as possible.”

“Meow? Didn’t you run away with Daphne? You want me to do such a thing?”

“I still have to stay and stall for time!” Lu Yunkai sighed, “Dumbledore left the safety of so many students in Hogwarts to me…I am not the irresponsible kind!”

“…Thank you for your hard work.” Chris nodded, “Then I’ll go and keep an eye on it for you now?”

“Voldemort doesn’t have an invisibility cloak. Unless he wants to trigger an encirclement and suppression by the Order of the Phoenix, he won’t come to Hogwarts in broad daylight. Just go and keep an eye on it for me at night.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “Is that okay? “

“Leave this little thing to me!” Chris nodded.

but.

“Meow, are you really sure that clearing that room like this will work?”

“I can only say, I hope!” Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

Do your best to ensure your destiny!

…

After explaining to Chris about staring at the Room of Requirement, Lu Yunkai lost interest in getting up to have dinner. He was so tired that he didn’t want to move and just fell asleep.

Chrissy, who had not appeared at Hogwarts for nearly a whole semester, once again took on the task of keeping track of Lu Yunkai, and she did as well as ever.

Lu Yunkai was actually not as worried about tracking whether Voldemort came to Hogwarts as he showed. In fact, he felt that the possibility that Voldemort would personally go to Hogwarts to inspect the Horcruxes should not exceed 30%.

After all, Snape still controls his access to Hogwarts. If he wants to enter the castle, he must first let Snape know.

As for the Horcrux, Lu Yunkai didn’t think Voldemort would tell anyone.

What he was more worried about was Nagini’s safety.

When Lu Yunkai learned from Chris that Nagini was under Voldemort’s custody, he immediately informed Dumbledore, but Lu Yunkai regretted it almost the same day.

From the perspective of a bystander, now is actually the best time to sow discord between Voldemort and Nagini, making the suspicious Voldemort realize that the trusted Horcrux carrier around him is not actually loyal to him. , or for the entire Death Eater camp, it can be said to be a fatal blow.

It is not difficult for the people of the Order of the Phoenix to achieve this: as long as Snape goes to Voldemort and breaks the relationship between Lu Yunkai and Nagini, Voldemort himself will be completely at a loss.

But this also meant pushing Nagini to death.

Dumbledore, who had previously tried to ask Lu Yunkai to sacrifice Nagini, did not do so, which was the best answer to Lu Yunkai’s protest against him during the summer vacation.

Dumbledore used his actions to tell Lu Yunkai that he and Grindelwald were different.

This goodwill also made Lu Yunkai relax a little bit because he was worried that Voldemort would come to Hogwarts and start killing people.

Just a little bit, because Voldemort was really checking out his Horcruxes.

The person who let him know the news was no longer the “ghost” Nagini, but the Daily Prophet.

In the next two days, two tofu-sized reports appeared in the Daily Prophet. A cave and an abandoned ancient house were both “destroyed by powerful magic”, which even affected the Muggles living nearby… …

Of course, the people at the Daily Prophet didn’t quite understand why Voldemort did this, and thought he was just spreading fear as usual, so these two small reports were not so conspicuous among all kinds of strange reports.

But in Lu Yunkai’s view, it was extremely eye-catching.

The picture is not over, the dagger has appeared, it may be time for the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters to have a head-on showdown.

As for Lu Yunkai, who was sitting in Hogwarts Castle, he could only hope that the flames of war would not really burn him.

Although, this is unlikely.

Because the fire exploded in Hogwarts before it could be ignited outside the castle.
