Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 284 Persistence
Coming out of the living room on the first floor, Lu Yunkai, led by Harry, went to the bedroom upstairs to visit Sirius who had broken into the Ministry of Magic.
This time Sirius was seriously injured. It had been nearly a week since he broke into the Ministry of Magic, and he was still in a comatose state.
“If Kingsley hadn’t been at the Ministry of Magic at the time and used some tricks to bring him out, he might have died in the Ministry of Magic.”
Harry looked at his godfather lying there unaware, his expression full of guilt.
“So sometimes when we make some decisions and say something, in addition to ourselves, we also have to consider the people close to us. Our willfulness sometimes makes them pay the price for us.” Lu Yunkai sighed softly, The younger one reminded Harry.
“I won’t be so impulsive again in the future.” Harry nodded, “But this time the matter has come to an end. I can’t let Sirius’ injury be in vain. I must do something.”
“I still think it’s better to leave the matter of finding Horcruxes to Dumbledore and the members of the Order of the Phoenix.” Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, “We are all just wizard apprentices, so this kind of thing shouldn’t be done by us. ”
“But haven’t you already destroyed a Horcrux?” Harry disagreed, “I heard Dumbledore tell me that it was a very secret Horcrux.”
“…It can’t be said that it’s very secretive.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “The room that responds to requests.”
“Yunkai, you can’t go back to Hogwarts now, right? Do you want to join us?” Harry tentatively suggested.
“No.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “The three of you are just right. If there are more people, it will be too eye-catching and even more dangerous. What’s more, eggs cannot be put in the same basket.”
“Yunkai is right.” Hermione interrupted Harry, who was still trying to persuade Lu Yunkai, “He also has his own things to do, and the three of us are enough.”
“I have some news about Horcruxes that I can tell you.” Lu Yunkai also changed the subject before Harry could say anything else.
“What?” Harry was successfully diverted by Lu Yunkai.
Even Ron, who had been silent next to him, also showed concern.
“I heard from Chris before that Bellatrix once appeared outside Gringotts. She was sneaky and seemed to be doing something bad. I guess Voldemort may have asked her to hide something in Gringotts.”
“…Gringotts??”
“Yeah. It’s definitely not convenient for Dumbledore to check that place.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “And those goblins are really not easy to talk to. If you have any way to sneak into Gringotts, go check on Lestland The Qi family’s treasury may yield unexpected gains.”
“Is that so? Okay.” Harry nodded.
“But even if the Horcrux is placed in front of us, I’m afraid we can’t guess which one it is. I haven’t seen it so far…” Ron got stuck mid-sentence.
He saw two more things at Lu Yunkai’s hand.
An old ring, a gorgeous crown.
Especially that crown.
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen this crown somewhere before?” Hermione looked at the crown studded with gems and seemed to be thinking hard about it.
“It is on the portrait of Ravenclaw.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “This ring once belonged to Voldemort’s grandfather. It is said to have been passed down from Slytherin’s hand. It is the same as the locket that Sirius found at home. …”
“Here, is the locket.”
Harry took out a delicate and gorgeous pendant from his pocket and placed it in front of him.
“These are all Horcruxes??” Ron looked at the three things in front of him, a little unbelievable.
“It used to be. It’s not the case anymore.” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I don’t know if you have noticed…”
“Ravenclaw’s diadem, Slytherin’s locket, excluding Gryffindor’s sword, it seems there should be something belonging to Hufflepuff.” Hermione had already taken over.
Lu Yunkai nodded.
Dealing with smart people means peace of mind.
“Hufflepuff’s? What?”
“There is only one thing handed down from Hogwarts that belongs to Hufflepuff, which is a golden cup. However, that golden cup was lost decades ago… In this way, it coincides with Voldemort’s time.” Hermione seemed to have determined the target quickly, “So, we are going to find Hufflepuff’s golden cup? In Gringotts?”
“Where on earth did you know this?” Ron looked confused.
“Hogwarts is mentioned in a school history. Of course you don’t know if you haven’t read it.” Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, “Lu Yunkai must know.”
“…How do you know that Lu Yunkai knows this?”
“If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t talk to us like this! If you don’t like reading, use your brain more!” Hermione glared at Ron hard this time to shut him up.
Ron glanced at Lu Yunkai a little aggrievedly and shut up.
“So, there is still another Horcrux, which is Hufflepuff’s golden cup, right?” Harry on the side tried to summarize the situation.
“Most likely.” Lu Yunkai nodded, “If you really hope to be of any help, try to find a way to find Hufflepuff’s golden cup!”
“Okay.” Harry nodded, “The other Horcruxes…”
“We’ll wait until we find Hufflepuff’s golden cup.” Hermione took over the conversation before Lu Yunkai could speak.
Lu Yunkai was stunned, frowned slightly, and took a deep look at Hermione, but said nothing more.
However, some people didn’t seem to understand what Hermione meant by interrupting the topic here.
“So, how many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?” Ron asked in a grumbling tone.
“He plans to make seven, but I don’t know how many.” Harry replied casually, “Yun Kai helped find this.”
“Seven!! Merlin’s beard!!” Ron was startled, “How many have been destroyed now?”
“Four.” Harry pointed to the three in front of him, “There is also a notebook…well, it’s the one that bewitched Ginny back then.”
“…Oh.” Ron’s expression suddenly became strange.
The matter of Ginny’s notebook is something that no one in the Weasley family wants to remember again.
“Okay, don’t talk about this.” Hermione clapped her hands, “Come one by one, let alone seven, even ten, we can all be destroyed by him!”
“Well, Hermione is right.” Lu Yunkai took a deep look at Hermione again and nodded, “If you think about it from another angle, half of it is ruined. It’s not that difficult.”
“Let’s not talk here anymore. We’ll disturb Sirius’ rest.” Hermione stood up first, “You can go to the restaurant downstairs…”
“Then I will take Daphne back to settle down first.” Lu Yunkai also stood up, “If there is anything else, please use the communication mirror to contact us later!”
“That’s fine.” Hermione nodded.
As long as Lu Yunkai doesn’t continue talking to Harry about Horcruxes, Hermione can do anything.
This was tantamount to telling Lu Yunkai again that she was worried that Harry knew too much about the Horcrux.
What do you know?
When Lu Yunkai walked out of Sirius’s bedroom, he was already sure that Hermione should have guessed that Harry was one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
If this is the case, Hermione probably won’t let Harry talk to Lu Yunkai anymore.
really.
Although Harry and Ron planned to send Lu Yunkai downstairs to leave, Hermione dragged them upstairs, claiming to be going to discuss how to sneak into Gringotts.
Lu Yunkai, on the other hand, returned to the first floor and left with Daphne, who was sitting in the restaurant in a daze.
Apparating, Lu Yunkai pulled Daphne and appeared in the hall of his home.
“Yun Kai, I think we need to have a good talk.”
Daphne, who had almost remained silent the whole time at the Black family, just appeared at Lu Yunkai’s house, pointed to the reception room, and said to Lu Yunkai.
His expression was solemn.
“Voldemort forced me to summon the devil this time!!”
“I know.” Daphne nodded, “I didn’t mean to tell you this.”
“…Then what do you want to say?”
“Come and listen, and you will know.” Daphne smiled and nodded at Irene who came out of the room after hearing the noise in the hall, and then walked directly into the reception room.
Lu Yunkai was left stunned.
“Daphne had a fight with you?”
Erin put away the wand in her hand with a strange expression.
“I don’t know either.”
Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly and followed Daphne into the reception room.
Daphne was already sitting in an armchair, and there was even a cup of black tea at hand.
“What do you want to say?” Lu Yunkai sat next to Daphne and sighed softly.
“Yunkai…you know, I’ve been really scared these days!” Daphne looked directly at Lu Yunkai, her eyes a little red.
“sorry……”
Lu Yunkai was a little ashamed.
Just now he was telling Harry not to be too impulsive, as it would make people who worry about him sad…
The newspaper of this world is here again!
“Yunkai, let’s discuss something.” Daphne looked directly at Lu Yunkai, “You can help Astoria lift the curse.”
“……ah??”
Lu Yunkai’s mind was a little confused.
Just after hearing Daphne’s words, Lu Yunkai was still thinking about how to make Daphne believe that he had the absolute ability to protect himself. At least no one could kill him when he was prepared. Why did it suddenly turn into lifting the curse? What happened?
“This way if you die one day, at least Astoria won’t have to live with that curse for the rest of her life.” Daphne looked directly at Lu Yunkai, “She can get married and have children.”
“I won’t die that easily…”
“I haven’t slept at Grimmauld Place these past few days. I was thinking about what I would do if you followed Snape out of the auditorium that day and never came back.” Daphne interrupted Lu Yunkai and said to herself Gu Zi said: “I don’t understand anything else, but I understand at least one thing. If you really die, I won’t have the courage to live. Then the curse on me is actually not important anymore, but I We can’t let Astoria lose this opportunity to lift the curse!”
“What you said is really… scarier than Voldemort.” Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed.
“I’m serious.” Daphne shook her head seriously, “I have already thought about it. No matter where you go from now on, I will follow you. If we die, we will die together. I don’t want to live with that kind of fear even a day. Again.”
“…Why are you doing this! If I want to run away alone, let alone Voldemort, even Grindelwald in his heyday couldn’t keep me, but if you want to stay with me, I’m really not sure…”
“I can take care of myself.” Daphne’s expression looked insistent, “I am the one who got seven OWLS O’s after all.”
“This is not something that OWLS can solve!!”
“I don’t care.” Daphne shook her head resolutely, “Either you take this back now, or you won’t even think about me leaving you in the future.”
As Daphne spoke, she took off the earrings she wore on her ears and placed them on the table between the two of them.
“You are really…” Lu Yunkai shook his head in confusion.
“I don’t care. I’ll be willful.”
Daphne snorted and didn’t give an inch.
Quiet.
“I have already made an agreement with Astoria.” Seeing that Lu Yunkai remained silent, Daphne continued: “In a few days, one night, you will go to Hogwarts to pick her up and lift her curse. This That’s it.”
“…Let me lift your curse first.” Lu Yunkai decided to change the topic.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, “I’ll tell you when I plan to give you a baby.”
“It does not make sense……”
“No matter what, you have to listen to me on this matter.” Daphne showed a playful attitude.
Lu Yunkai shook his head speechlessly.
This matter… I really have nothing to say.
“That’s it.” Daphne saw that Lu Yunkai was speechless by herself. She picked up the earrings on the table and put them back on her ears with great satisfaction, “By the way, you can do it when you have time.” Teach me how to apparate! I can’t go back to school now, and I won’t be able to attend the apparation class next semester.”
“This is easy to talk about, but… you tell me that you will follow me wherever I go from now on. Can we discuss this matter again?”
“No negotiation!!”
Daphne stood up and walked out of the living room.
Then as if he remembered something again, he turned back and stared at Lu Yunkai.
“If you sneak away behind my back, you will see my body when you come back! I’m not trying to scare you, I’m serious!”
After that, he walked out of the room.
Lu Yunkai was stunned there, dumbfounded as he watched Daphne’s leaving figure.
He shook his head gently.
This girl…
well! !
