Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 283 Take care of yourself
Although according to Dumbledore, Voldemort seemed to be seriously injured, the people from the Ministry of Magic who arrived in the Forbidden Forest after the Order of the Phoenix probably didn’t know this.
Otherwise, it is unlikely that the Daily Prophet, which has been jumping left and right since the Battle of Hogwarts, would pretend to be deaf to such a big thing.
In fact, for the next three days, the Daily Prophet said nothing about the incident.
Instead, I made a wizard’s Christmas special, reporting on the ways and customs of wizards around the world celebrating Christmas…
The group of Hogwarts students who had applied to go home for Christmas vacation did not know that while they were having dinner in the auditorium, a big battle broke out in the Forbidden Forest outside the school.
It was as if nothing had happened, as if a balance was being maintained between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.
After lying in bed for three days, Lu Yunkai finally regained his energy. The first thing he did when he got up was to go to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
Because not only Dumbledore, but the trio of Harrys who left the school on the Hogwarts Express two days ago wearing invisibility cloaks were also waiting for him there.
There is also a more important person.
Daphne.
When he arrived at the safe house of the Order of the Phoenix, he received a warm welcome from many people.
Taking the lead, naturally, was Harry.
Warm greetings, big hugs, and a big smile on your face.
He, Ron and Hermione didn’t know about Lu Yunkai’s summoning of the devil. They just knew that Voldemort entered Hogwarts at that time, stood outside the Room of Requirement, and forced Lu Yunkai to open the Room of Requirement. Lu Yunkai used a strategy to take Voldemort out. school, and then wounded Voldemort at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and then successfully escaped.
Such a story of wisdom and courage fell into their ears, and they were filled with envy and reverence.
“Is your injury okay?” Compared to Harry and Ron who were more curious about how Lu Yunkai was able to injure Voldemort, Daphne was naturally concerned about Lu Yunkai’s body.
As she knew that Lu Yunkai must rest for three days after doing something, she had already guessed what Lu Yunkai did in the Forbidden Forest to hurt Voldemort.
She was very angry.
But no matter how angry he is, he can’t care about it now.
“It’s okay. Isn’t this good!” Lu Yunkai hugged Daphne gently, and then sighed softly, “Tell me, why did you follow Harry and the others out of Hogwarts!”
“It’s not safe for Daphne to stay at school!” Hermione from the side interrupted, “And she’s crying and wants to come with us to find you… What can I do?”
“Then you go home early! What are you doing here?”
“The Black’s fireplace is not connected to the floo network. I have to go to the public fireplace to go home, but God knows if there are any Death Eaters or people from the Ministry of Magic there!” Daphne looked aggrieved.
“…Forget it, follow me home later.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly and shook his head.
Daphne nodded with a slight blush, then held Lu Yunkai’s arm and stood beside him.
“I’m sorry, young friends, I just want to talk to Lu Yunkai alone. Can you continue chatting later?”
Just then, Dumbledore appeared in the room.
He seemed to be in much better spirits than before when he was carrying the curse.
But he is obviously much older.
It was obvious that he had been having a very hard time.
“I’ll go out and wait for you.” Daphne was the most obedient one. She whispered in Lu Yunkai’s ear, and then walked out of the room first. Harry and the three of them also looked at each other, nodded to Lu Yunkai, and left one after another.
Close the door, anti-eavesdropping spell.
Everything is as natural as it should be.
“What did you call me for?” Lu Yunkai sat down and looked at Dumbledore.
He was a little unhappy with Dumbledore now.
Although he was very happy to see Harry and the three of them here, Lu Yunkai felt unhappy when he thought that the three of them left school this time so that they could search for Horcruxes.
There are so many people in the Order of the Phoenix, why do they want three young people to take such a risk? ?
“You actually seriously injured Voldemort this time, forcing him to hide and recuperate for a short period of time. This is a huge help to the Order of the Phoenix.” Dumbledore said with a gentle smile, as if he didn’t notice Lu Yunkai’s unkind tone. : “I should have expressed my gratitude to you in person.”
“Originally? Then what?”
“If you leave Hogwarts like this, no one will be able to protect the students in the school. This is very regrettable.” Dumbledore sighed softly, “Actually, I would rather you stay in the school and protect the students.” Classmates at Hogwarts.”
“Voldemort is going to kill me. I can’t stay in school anymore.”
“Didn’t he ask you to help summon the devil so that he could repair his soul? How could he kill you!”
“He told me that he saw records about demon gods in a ruins in the Middle East.” Lu Yunkai nodded and relayed Voldemort’s words to Dumbledore, “But the demon gods I summoned told me that they generally They only collect souls and won’t help humans repair it. I don’t know if he will take action against me out of disappointment, and since the demon has taken action against Voldemort without permission, I have no choice but to run away.”
“So Tom saw some inaccurate records!” Dumbledore sighed softly. “He always has a blind worship of power and believes that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by power. If there is, That’s just because I’m not strong enough.”
“Actually, I think there’s nothing wrong with this.” Lu Yun smiled, “Maybe if I summoned a more powerful demon, this matter might actually be solved for him.”
“So, the magic world is really lucky!” Dumbledore also smiled, “Did you start to think so after coming into contact with some powerful spells?”
“Of course it’s impossible to say that power can solve everything. But most of them can be solved.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “If my magic ability is strong enough, I won’t have to be so embarrassed by Voldemort in school. ”
“But in the end you rely on wisdom and courage…”
“It relies on the power of the devil.” Lu Yunkai corrected Dumbledore, and then his expression was a little strange: “You called me here today to warn me not to summon the devil again in the future?”
“It’s not my turn to do this. I think Miss Greengrass will keep a good eye on you.” Dumbledore squinted his eyes and smiled, “You may not know that yesterday afternoon she was sitting alone in an angry position. I kept talking there for a long time.”
“…”
“What I want to tell you is actually another thing.” Dumbledore waved his hand and continued: “Severus came to me the day before yesterday and said that he had handed over a notebook to you.”
“…Hmm. Why, didn’t you give me that notebook?” Lu Yunkai was stunned.
The various gorgeous and powerful magics recorded on it all seem to have the same origin as the magic Dumbledore used when he fought Voldemort in Hogsmeade!
“No.” Dumbledore shook his head, “I have already told you my knowledge about magic. The most powerful magic…”
“The disarming curse.” Lu Yunkai waved his hand, “You didn’t give it to me. Could it be that Professor Snape handed it to Voldemort?”
Did Voldemort really want to teach himself magic? ?
“Of course not.” Dumbledore shook his head. “Tom’s understanding of magic is very practical and utilitarian. Although the amount of magic he masters is so large that even I can only be inferior to him, he actually chooses the standards for using magic. Only one can effectively defeat and kill the enemy. For him, the Death Curse is enough for him to deal with most situations, and other black magic is more of a toy than a tool.”
“Who else could it be…Professor Snape himself? It’s unlikely…” Lu Yunkai’s voice became smaller and smaller.
He realized it.
but.
“Why does Professor Snape know Grindelwald??”
It could only be that man.
“Severus admires you very much.” Dumbledore saw that Lu Yunkai had guessed the correct answer, a smile appeared on his face and nodded, “He told me more than once that if he has a child, he hopes it will be you. That’s why he was worried that you would follow that man’s path, so he went to Nurmengard with Voldemort on his back and met him.”
“What is he going to do?” Lu Yunkai didn’t quite understand.
“He went to ask what exactly you and that man said.” Dumbledore put away his smile and his expression became serious. “He went to ask that man why he had to lead you down that road. And that man… convinced Severus.”
“…I have to admit that compared to you, Professor, Grindelwald’s ability to persuade people is much better.” Lu Yunkai laughed silently.
“This is his talent and ability.” Dumbledore’s expression was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly regained his poker face, “Then the man handed over his magic notebook to Severus.”
“Grindelwald really thinks highly of me.”
“Of course you are worthy of him.” Dumbledore looked at Lu Yunkai’s forced smile and put a smile on his face again, “I had doubted whether you could really summon the devil before, but this time I finally saw it with my own eyes. , and I believed it.”
“…Have you met the devil?”
“I got the news from Severus in advance, so I arrived at Hogwarts earlier.” Dumbledore nodded, “Of course, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to you, I didn’t show up too early. , so I also saw the scene when you summoned the demon god, including the scene when you commanded the demon god to attack him. “
“You misunderstood. I really didn’t direct the demon to launch the attack. I just told it that if it didn’t solve the problem of Voldemort’s soul, Voldemort might kill me. It thought it would be easier to kill Voldemort than to repair his soul… …”
“So that’s it!” Dumbledore was happy, but he quickly put away his smile: “This is in line with the way black magic always thinks and solves problems.”
“…When you say that, it seems true.” Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed.
There is a simpler and more direct way to solve the problem through strength, why not use it?
“But no matter what… you are worthy of Grindelwald’s attention to you. His notes… it doesn’t matter if you study them carefully, but I hope you understand that black magic, after all, is black magic, which is too powerful. Sooner or later, the power of the world will cause you to begin to deviate from your own understanding, thus affecting the perspective from which you recognize and understand the world… And when your attitude towards people and life in this world changes, you will not know what to do with it. I feel like I’ve become a dark wizard.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this view.” Lu Yunkai was noncommittal.
He wanted to refute, but was unable. After all, he had just heard an example just seconds ago.
The demon god named Barbatos made such a choice, and Lu Yunkai didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with his choice.
“Every once kind dark wizard started researching with the attitude that black magic is just a kind of power, and I just use it to do good things.” Dumbledore sighed softly, “But when they began to discover, When one’s great power begins to attract fear, jealousy and even hatred from others, even the kindest person will inevitably become resentful of the world. “
“Well, Grindelwald said the same thing.” Lu Yunkai nodded.
“This is an unsolvable question.” Dumbledore smiled. “When people make decisions and do things, they always have to choose and give up something. When your power is strong enough, the choices you can make will come naturally. “
“I woke you up? That’s really something to be proud of!” Lu Yunkai secretly said angrily.
“I’m very grateful to you.” Dumbledore nodded, “So in the past few months, I have been thinking about a way, a way that might not require so many sacrifices.”
“Have you thought about it?”
“Not yet.” Dumbledore shook his head, “I can only tell you, I hope you understand that even if you can use those powerful spells, it does not mean that you are already a powerful wizard… just like your communication mirror Just like the slogan of “Wizard”, it is not the wand in your hand that defines whether you are a wizard, but the friends around you. “
“Besides, I can’t use those spells.” Lu Yunkai smiled and sighed, “Unless I use a magic amplification spell first, but in that case, even if I use the spell, I will be forced to silence the magic for a few minutes. “
“Ah? How is that possible?” Dumbledore was stunned, “You…”
“That’s why I say you all think too highly of me!” Lu Yunkai spread his hands, “I’m really not a wizard who can rely on strength to do anything.”
“…Maybe something went wrong.” Dumbledore shook his head, “But I hope you understand that even if you become stronger, never give up on the ordinary friends around you. They are what you are called For the wizard’s sake.”
“Professor, I came up with that slogan, do you think I can forget it?” Lu Yunkai asked with a smile.
“Just because you understand it now doesn’t mean you will remember it in the future.” Dumbledore still said with some sincerity: “I just hope you can always remember this.”
“…Professor, although it sounds a little rude, I think you are really wordy today!” Lu Yunkai was speechless.
“Well, as I get older, I like to talk more. Who knows if I have finished talking today and will be able to say more tomorrow?” Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, “Okay, I’ve finished what I need to say, Grinder You must keep Wo’s notebook and don’t let it fall into the hands of others. The magic contained in it is indeed too powerful.”
“Speaking of which, I saw a magic on it. If used properly, it seems that it can destroy the entire city of London…”
“Grindelwald used that magic once.” Dumbledore gave a helpless smile, “In Paris, it almost razed the entire city to the ground. Thanks to my old friend Nick Flamel, we were able to avoid that. A huge disaster.”
“…When you said that, I suddenly became a little curious…”
“This is how many dark wizards begin to fall.” Dumbledore sighed softly, “I hope you can take care of yourself!”
After saying that, he pointed the wand in his hand at the door.
The secrecy spell is lifted.
“Things at Hogwarts… I can only hope that Minerva will take more care of it. It’s a pity that she is not as easy to take action on many things as you are, which is still a pity!”
“The Carlo brothers and sisters have learned a lot in the past six months. I think they won’t do anything too extreme anymore. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“I hope so.”
Dumbledore shook his head gently, looking like he couldn’t let go.
Lu Yunkai smiled slightly, walked out of the room without answering.
Dumbledore feels very wrong today.
Why do you feel like you want to have everything in order?
This feels very bad.
