Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 280 Face to Face
Harry may not know that, because he was envious of Sirius, he found a hidden Horcrux at home and destroyed it, triggering an attack on underage wizard surveillance, and then embarked on a search for the Horcrux with a desire to atone. The road was completely within Dumbledore’s plan.
But that’s not important. Because even if he knew, he would take this path without hesitation.
The so-called upright conspiracy refers to this.
Therefore, although Lu Yunkai felt that it was despicable for Dumbledore to lure Harry down this path step by step, he could not stop him.
Harry might have something he should do, but Lu Yunkai couldn’t stop him, he could only bless him.
Sirius recklessly launched a personal attack on the Ministry of Magic, which many people found ridiculous and unacceptable, so much so that many people were not even willing to believe it was true.
Even in the Daily Prophet the next day, there was no report at all about this incident.
Of course, just because there are no reports, it doesn’t mean that everyone has taken this sigh of relief.
The Daily Prophet showed in another way that the current attitude of the Ministry of Magic was indeed as Lu Yunkai feared. The attitude of the Ministry of Magic was beginning to tilt in the direction of Voldemort.
And at this time, the efficiency displayed by the Ministry of Magic shocked everyone.
On the second day after Sirius attacked the Ministry of Magic, which was the day before the Christmas holiday at Hogwarts, Mrs. Zabini, who had not contacted Lu Yunkai directly for a long time, told him that the Ministry of Magic had once again launched an investigation into the communication mirror. For once, their attitude seemed very determined, and they must bring control of the mirror under the control of the Ministry of Magic.
“I can delay it for three months, but it can be up to three months. You’d better think of something. This communication mirror doesn’t belong to me alone.”
Mrs. Zabini, who looked obviously tired and aged in the mirror, said to Lu Yunkai in a helpless tone.
This was the first time Lu Yunkai heard such words from her partner. This also clearly told Lu Yunkai that she had indeed tried her best and that there was nothing she could do.
And Lu Yunkai was indeed surprised. He had thought that the Ministry of Magic would stand against the Order of the Phoenix because of Sirius’s behavior, but he never expected that the first sword of revenge would be cut on him…
In fact, from the day the communication mirror was sold to the public, both Lu Yunkai and Mrs. Zabini were always prepared for the Ministry of Magic to intervene, and they had already made mental preparations that might get out of control or even be completely lost. .
But when that day really came, Lu Yunkai was still somewhat reluctant.
He would never agree to handing it over to the Ministry of Magic without any resistance at all.
Therefore, Lu Yunkai, who had originally planned to stay at school during the winter vacation, had to find his adoptive father and explain the reasons why he had to leave school during the winter vacation.
Regarding this blow from the Ministry of Magic, Slughorn, who heard the whole story, was silent for three minutes. He took out a list and told Lu Yunkai that if he had to, he could look for a few people on this list. Maybe they Can be of some help.
Lu Yunkai understood that those people were all people from the Slug Club, which were the trump cards of his adoptive father’s connections.
After taking over the list, Lu Yunkai was ready to give it a final try for his communication mirror.
However.
…
“Oh, Daphne, don’t be angry. Lu Yunkai has something to do temporarily. He didn’t mean not to spend Christmas with you at school.”
Blaise helped talk with Smiley Face.
At the end of term dinner, at the Slytherin table.
Lu Yunkai was in a bad mood, so his face was expressionless, while Daphne opposite him was even more angry.
Lu Yunkai spent a lot of effort to persuade her not to go home during the Christmas vacation this year, but to stay at Hogwarts, where she was safer and more assured. But she didn’t expect that Lu Yunkai was about to leave school…
“Huh.” Daphne glared at Blaise and didn’t answer.
Blaise is a bit sarcastic.
He naturally knew the reason for Lu Yunkai’s temporary departure from school. He had listened to the entire phone call with his mother this morning. Lu Yunkai was going to fight for the communication mirror they jointly operated. Even if he was pointed at and scolded by Daphne, he could only endure it.
“Sister, stop pretending. I don’t know who it was this afternoon. I was worried that my brother-in-law would be in danger if he left school. He was pestering my father for help and asked my father to contact his old friends in the Ministry of Magic to speak for him… “
“Shut up!!” Daphne knocked Astoria on the head who was trying to make peace with her.
Astoria rubbed her head aggrievedly and said nothing.
“If you ask me, if the Ministry of Magic wants that communication mirror or something, let them forget it.” Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai, who was silent there, and said angrily: “You have earned enough money, don’t you?” We must face them like this!”
“This is not about money.” Lu Yunkai shook his head.
Sirius has disgraced the Ministry of Magic. Even if I give in, it’s just the beginning. I can’t let them think I’m easy to bully.
Well, of course Lu Yunkai couldn’t say this directly, because Sirius’s matter has not yet been reported!
“You…” Daphne’s aggrieved eyes turned red again.
“Okay, Professor Snape is going to speak.” Malfoy jumped out to smooth things over.
Interrupting the quarrel between Lu Yunkai and Daphne that had not yet begun.
And that huge black bat did indeed appear on the rostrum.
Standing behind the podium, his expression was gloomy and solemn.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
This is the second time Snape has appeared in the school since the beginning of the school year. It seems that everyone is still not used to him being the principal in the school…
“The semester is over.” Snape glanced at the hall that immediately fell silent because he stood up, but there was no hint of relief on his expression. He was still as cold as ice: “Many of you chose to go home tomorrow. I hope you have a happy holiday. And for those of you who choose to stay in school, I also hope you will abide by the school rules and avoid causing trouble.”
Having said this, he looked at Lu Yunkai.
All the eyes of the audience suddenly drifted to Lu Yunkai.
“Everyone has only one life. Doing anything rashly is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also irresponsible to your parents.”
Snape’s words, which were clearly warning, caused a lot of discussions to break out in the whole room.
“The dinner begins.” Snape waved the wand in his hand, and all the tables were filled with delicious food.
However.
“Lu Yunkai. Come with me.”
Snape did not sit back in his principal’s seat behind the podium, but said something to Lu Yunkai, and then walked straight into the wrong auditorium.
The auditorium fell silent again for a moment.
Lu Yunkai glanced around at his classmates who were looking at him with various looks, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
What is Snape doing? Is it to warn myself not to try to protect the communication mirror again, or something else?
Then there’s no need to make such a big fuss, right? ?
Cursing, Lu Yunkai stood up, followed Snape, and ran out of the auditorium.
The moment Lu Yunkai stepped out of the auditorium, he heard a huge discussion of students behind him like an explosion.
Then, there was a voice from Professor McGonagall.
“Quiet!!”
…
“Professor, is there anything we can’t discuss after dinner?”
Following Snape to the second floor, Lu Yunkai complained to Snape who was standing there waiting for him.
“…Follow me.” Snape took a deep look at Lu Yunkai, and then said something that made him stunned.
Snape…is there anything inconvenient to say?
what happened?
Lu Yunkai followed Snape upstairs with suspicion.
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
Snape didn’t seem to be going back to the Headmaster’s office. The two of them went up the stairs.
The higher up, the more frightened Lu Yunkai became.
Soon, we arrived on the eighth floor.
Lu Yunkai felt that his expression was almost unable to remain calm.
Because from a distance, he saw a black figure standing in front of a certain tapestry.
Lu Yunkai would only see that figure when he had nightmares.
“Okay, Severus, you can go.”
The figure’s voice sounded hoarse.
“Yes, Master.”
Snape bowed to the figure, then turned and left directly.
Lu Yunkai stood there, looking at the person standing there…Voldemort, with a stiff expression.
Voldemort actually came to Hogwarts? ?
And you actually chose this time?
“I don’t want anyone to know that I’m here. There should be no better time than now.” Voldemort did not look at Lu Yunkai, his eyes were fixed on the wall in front of him, “Everyone is in the auditorium. I can come in quietly and leave quietly…”
“You don’t have to be like this. Even if you are standing in the Hogwarts auditorium now, no one would dare to do something to you.” Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully.
“I don’t think so.” Voldemort’s eyes finally turned to Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai was stunned.
Voldemort…what happened?
Although his face was still pale and noseless, Lu Yunkai clearly felt that Voldemort was in a very bad mental state.
Even worse than the one Lu Yunkai saw in the castle before, who needed to feed himself unicorn blood.
So, is destroying Horcruxes really useful?
For a moment, Lu Yunkai suddenly smelled something that could really kill Voldemort.
…
