Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 311 Twenty Years Later
“Professor Lu, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“…Do you have to choose this time? Director Diggory?”
Lu Yunkai’s voice was hoarse and he looked at the man who walked in front of him.
Cedric Diggory. The current Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic.
A man who could barely be regarded as Lu Yunkai’s friend, but now the relationship with him cannot be said to be good in any way.
“You almost never leave Hogwarts, and you have never responded to our request to enter Hogwarts to talk to you, so… although at such a sad moment, I am sorry that some Questions we’d like to ask you.”
Cedric nodded expressionlessly and spoke high-sounding words.
“You…”
“It’s okay.” Lu Yunkai held down Daphne who was about to get angry and smiled, “I’ll leave this to you, I’ll be back soon.”
“…Okay.” Daphne glared at Cedric fiercely, then returned her gaze to the coffin in front of her.
Lu Yunkai followed Cedric and walked out of the crowd under the “escort” of several Aurors.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t get to study under Professor Slughorn. I heard many people say that he was a person worth remembering.” Cedric glanced at the man who was waiting for the funeral to officially proceed. Everyone said in polite words.
“You have something to say, so many people are waiting.” Lu Yunkai didn’t answer.
He glanced at Blaise, who was helping him receive the guests, and shook his head gently.
Blaise, who was about to come over, stopped.
“Last month, a… movie was released in the Muggle world? Well, it’s called that, right?” Cedric saw that Lu Yunkai didn’t want to be polite, so he went straight to the point, “Someone reported it to the Department of Legal Enforcement , this film is suspected of violating international confidentiality laws.”
“How many times have you used this reason to trouble me?” Lu Yunkai laughed absurdly, “Is there any evidence this time?”
“Our staff went to check this film, and some of the plots in it are indeed suspected of violating international confidentiality laws…”
“Suspected? Don’t be so vague, evidence!” Lu Yunkai interrupted Cedric, “Which one, which one? Did I leak the magic to the Muggles? Or did I let the magic items fall into the hands of the Muggles? ? Or something else?”
“…that movie promotes wizards to protect the Muggle world…”
“Stop it!” Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh, “A few years ago, a novel about the magical world written by a Muggle was made into a movie. Even the characters in it looked familiar. How many people did you use to investigate? ? Did you find out anything? The original comic of this movie was born before you and me, so you can blame me? “
“We have evidence that you participated in this investment…”
“An investment method that complies with the International Secrecy Law.” Lu Yunkai interrupted Cedric again, “Earn Muggle money through a company established by Muggles, in the way of Muggle investors… The International Secrecy Law stipulates that this is not allowed Earn Muggle money? If so, go and seize Gringotts first, thank you.”
Quiet.
“As expected, Professor Lu, although you are the principal of Hogwarts, your understanding of wizarding laws is really…”
“I would suggest you study more about wizarding law.” Lu Yunkai snorted, interrupting Cedric’s weirdness again, “Otherwise, the current Minister of Magic should probably be you, and Hermione won’t be so busy that she can even attend my father’s funeral. Can’t come to attend.”
“…”
“Is there anything else?” Lu Yunkai wanted to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Cedric took a deep breath, “About your alleged violation of the International Secrecy Act, it has been submitted to the Ministry of Magic. A formal court hearing will be held at the Ministry of Magic next Wednesday…”
“I will go.” Lu Yunkai interrupted Cedric, “Let’s talk about it then.”
Lu Yunkai waved his hand and walked back to the cemetery.
“Can we start?” Ron, the host of today’s funeral and who came on behalf of his wife Hermione, asked when he saw Lu Yunkai returning to his seat.
“Okay.” Lu Yunkai nodded.
“good.”
Ron took a deep breath.
…
At the end, more than a hundred guests attending the funeral used their wands to cast spells, lighting up the night sky, and the funeral finally came to an end.
The coffin was buried, the stone tablet was erected, and the wizards who attended the funeral also left one after another.
“Thanks, Ron, thank you for your hard work.”
“Why are you being so polite to me? Hermione said she was really embarrassed and couldn’t come over today…”
“Yeah, I understand.”
Lu Yunkai smiled and patted Ron on the shoulder.
“What did Cedric ask you for just now?” Harry asked with a little curiosity.
“He said I had violated international confidentiality laws again.”
“Again??” Harry was happy.
“Did they find the evidence this time?” Ginny, who was following him, also laughed. “They won’t just let it go, right?”
“Otherwise?” Ron smiled silently and shook his head, “This brat put our names in a Muggle movie before, but it didn’t matter, so what’s the problem this time? “
“I hope so!” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head.
“Then let’s go first, see you later.” Ginny said to Lu Yunkai with a smile.
“Well, see you later.”
Lu Yunkai sent a few people away with a smile.
“Cedric is really stubborn. If only he had a better mind, he wouldn’t be stuck in the position of a useless director now.” Astoria babbled and came closer.
“That’s the serious and powerful director of the Ministry of Magic. What else do you want?” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head at Astoria, “Where is your sister?”
“Severus is sleepy, so she took him back to sleep first.”
“…Well, it’s indeed getting late.” Lu Yunkai glanced at the watch on his wrist and nodded.
“Then I’ll leave first.” Astoria smiled, “Come to our house for dinner tomorrow.”
“Just let your sister take the child. I have something to do tomorrow.” Lu Yunkai shook his head.
“What’s the matter? What’s the matter? I’m telling you, don’t be so busy with work all the time, okay? Spend more time with my sister!” Astoria rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai with a speechless expression, “Learn more from Draco! !”
“Then when are you going to give Scorpius a younger brother? He has been envious of Roy for having a younger brother and sister for a long time?” Lu Yunkai asked in time.
Astoria’s tone was determined, and then she kicked Lu Yunkai hard.
“Tomorrow is a very important matter, and it may not be finished by night.” Lu Yun smiled and rubbed his legs, and continued: “If it is finished, I will definitely go.”
“It’s better this way!” Astoria blushed and glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely. Then she saw Blaise looking at him with a smile. She blushed even more, stamped her feet, turned around and left.
“You are teasing Leah again! How many times have I told you that this is not good? She is your sister-in-law!”
Blaise babbled as he walked towards Lu Yunkai.
“I didn’t do anything like mistaking my wife for my sister-in-law after drinking too much, so thank you for your concern.” Lu Yunkai complained to Brace.
Blaise’s tone paused, and then he punched Lu Yunkai.
“Thank you for your hard work today. You were busy doing everything.” Lu Yunkai took the punch without caring at all and said with a little apology.
“It’s not me who presides over the funeral…”
“Are you angry??” Lu Yunkai was a little speechless after hearing Blaise’s arrogant words.
“I don’t know why you had to let Weasley host it.” Blaise nodded.
“…Hermione was originally going to host it. She still has a deep affection for my adoptive father. After all, it can be said that it was my adoptive father who helped her to become the Minister of Magic over the years.” Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly. Laughing, “But there was a temporary problem just now, and she had to deal with it, so her husband took care of it. It makes no sense for you to be jealous of this.”
“Huh.” Blaise turned his head, “But… what are you busy with today? I haven’t seen you all day long.”
“Isn’t this the movie that’s about to be released recently? There are a lot of messy things on the Muggle side that have to be dealt with.” Lu Yunkai sighed helplessly, “Irene is about to give birth to a baby at this time, and Nagini is… I don’t know where I went to play, I don’t even have anyone here who can help…”
“I’m not human??”
“You? Thank you! Forget it! Last time I asked you to help me go to the United States. Good guy, Padma kept talking about me for two months!” Lu Yunkai shook his head quickly, “I don’t know where she got her confidence. , I feel like her husband is embraced by women wherever he goes.”
“I can’t help it. Who made me look handsome?”
“…Starting tomorrow, the previously agreed advertisement for the International Secrecy Act Amendment can be placed on the communication mirror. This matter will be left to you.” Lu Yunkai decided not to talk to Brays about this topic.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, the fact was that after graduating from Hogwarts, as he got older, Blaise became more and more like his mother.
This man who is becoming more and more masculine and is the second richest wizard in England after Lu Yunkai is definitely the dream lover of all witches and wizards.
Strange family origins.
Fortunately, Padma is still alive and well. Moreover, this black boy is quite infatuated with his wife. In this regard, he is much stronger than his mother.
“Starting tomorrow? The day has finally arrived?” Blaise was slightly startled at first, and then an expression of excitement appeared on his face.
“Don’t worry, it’s just to build momentum. On the Muggle side, we have been preparing for almost ten years, and on the wizard side, it’s time to take action.” Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, “If we really want to abolish the International Secrecy Act, no matter what It will take another thirty or forty years.”
“It’s better than watching you making trouble in the Muggle world all day long, while I have to hide at home and be in a daze!” Blaise sighed, “I envy you and Hermione.”
“Don’t come here! You control the largest communications company in the Muggle world now! What are you doing?”
“What do you mean I hold the controlling stake! We hold the controlling stake!!” Blais pointed at himself and Lu Yunkai, “I didn’t leave you alone to make a fortune!”
“Yo! I hear what Mr. Zabini means, do you plan to invest in Muggle movies with me and lose money? That’s okay!! How much do you invest? I’ll pay you how much you pay!!”
“Go away.” Blais smiled and rolled his eyes at Lu Yunkai, then sighed softly, “Seeing that you are in good spirits, I feel relieved.”
“The relationship between me and my adoptive father has never been very close.” Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, “The reward for him was already completed when I gave the second son’s surname Slughorn. And seeing that He Min became the Minister of Magic, and his last wish was fulfilled… and it was time to leave. “
“Yeah. I’m relieved if you think so.” Blaise let out a long breath, “It’s getting late, I’m going home. Otherwise Padma will start to worry again later.”
“Go! Go! Give birth to a daughter as soon as possible. Severus doesn’t have a baby to kiss yet…”
“A person like you who likes arranged marriages is actually the principal of Hogwarts. I’m really worried about the future young wizards in England!!” Blaise shook his head speechlessly, and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Yunkai smiled softly and sighed, turned around, and returned to the tombstone that had just been erected.
There was no one around the cemetery. Under the moonlight, the two magically illuminated light balls in front of the grave looked a little eerie, but also a little warm.
Lu Yunkai sat cross-legged in front of his adoptive father’s tombstone, looked at his adoptive father’s kind and gentle smile on the tombstone, and sighed softly.
Nothing was said.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a bang, and a figure appeared behind Lu Yunkai.
“Are you here?” Lu Yunkai didn’t even look back.
“Are you still there? Did you know I would come?”
“He likes you more than me. If you don’t come at this time, his life will be a failure.”
“……Um.”
The familiar voice of Lu Yunkai came to his side.
The wand in his hand emits a ball of light, which, like the two balls just now, spins around the tombstone and illuminates the face holding the wand.
Hermione Granger. The current Minister of Magic.
“Without the professor, I wouldn’t have been able to become the Minister of Magic.” Hermione looked at Slughorn’s face on the tombstone and sighed softly, “He…really takes good care of me.”
“He just wants to use your hands to realize his wish to abolish the international confidentiality law.”
“I suppose it should be said that he would be happy to help me repeal the International Statute of Secrecy.” Hermione shook her head.
“As long as you are happy.” Lu Yun smiled and did not continue.
“Cedric just contacted me and said that he has informed you that you will go to the Ministry of Magic for trial in three days.”
“Um.”
“Are you really sure that this time… you are going to be sentenced?” Hermione’s expression looked serious.
“Since ancient times, when doing great things, there have always been sacrifices. I just went to Azkaban to live for a few years, so it won’t make any difference.” Lu Yun smiled, “If I don’t go, Gringotts will move.” No, those people in the Ministry of Magic can’t move, and the foundation of the entire magical world can’t be moved. Didn’t we already agree that the dirty work will be left to me, and you will be responsible for the big things.”
“…But in this case, you will no longer be the Headmaster of Hogwarts.” Hermione shook her head, “Dumbledore used Hogwarts to change the wizarding world. Since we also want to change the Ministry of Magic, , this place cannot be lost.”
“I feel relieved to leave it to Neville.” Lu Yun smiled, “And after I come out of Azkaban, I can still go back.”
“Neville? Then go and tell him yourself. Ever since the last time the Ministry of Magic investigated the incident at the Leaky Cauldron, he asked me to come forward to support his wife Hannah and I didn’t agree. He has always disliked me.”
“I’ve already told him. He also agreed to take care of me for a few years.”
“Neville can actually agree to your request? He has such a good temper!”
“He is only interested in herbalism, managing Hogwarts and so on… Daphne is better than him. And I gave him two bottles of wine from the Eastern Muggle world, so he agreed.” Lu Yun smiled. He shook his head and said, “Okay, if you have anything to say to father, please do it alone. I’ll leave first.”
“Yeah.” Hermione nodded to Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai stood up and waved the magic wand in his hand.
The next moment, he was at home in Dover.
In the lounge, just as Lu Yunkai sat down, Daphne walked in.
“You’re back?”
“Hmm. Where is the child?”
“Already rested.” Daphne smiled and sat next to Lu Yunkai, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s nothing…it’s just that I may have to wrong you in the next period of time.” Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne affectionately and said in an apologetic tone.
“It’s nothing. When I wanted to marry you, you said that this day would come.” Daphne smiled, “It’s just a few years, I can handle it.”
“Um.”
Lu Yunkai nodded and gently put Daphne’s head into his arms.
…
The next afternoon, the Minister of Magic’s office.
“How about it?”
Lu Yunkai, who walked into the room, smiled and asked Hermione, who was sitting behind the desk and looking at some document.
“What else could it be? Stubborn, ulterior motives, hesitant…” Hermione didn’t even move her eyes from the document, and said with a grumbling tone: “But it still passed.”
“Aren’t the opposition people unhappy?”
“Of course! So they must imprison you in Azkaban this time. Today at the conference, several of them talked to me for a long time about forcing the Ministry of Magic’s Wizarding Communications Company…” Hermione smiled, But still looking at the file, “The ads are ready to be placed.”
“Sign it!” Lu Yunkai took out a document from his arms.
Without even looking, Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed it at Lu Yun.
The document was signed Hermione Granger.
It was a sponsorship agreement for Wizard Communications (the company of Lu Yunkai and Bryce) to promote the British Amendment to the International Statute of Secrecy for free advertising for the Ministry of Magic.
“I’ll let Blaise start pushing ads.” Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror.
“Are you sure you want to use that advertising slogan? I always feel uncomfortable reading that advertising slogan from the perspective of a Muggle.” Hermione finally put down the document in her hand and looked at Lu Yunkai, “I would rather believe that I am a Muggle. , don’t want to believe that there is no magic in the world?”
“This is an advertisement for wizards. Using this tone will help build confidence for those who are afraid that they will be burned to death like witches in the Middle Ages after the International Statute of Secrecy is abolished.” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, “For Muggles is another set of things. In the past ten years, we have not stopped instilling in Muggles the concept of wizards saving mankind, and making them admire wizards, and feel that they may also have magical talents… This is not what we discussed back then. What a good publicity strategy!”
“What should we discuss? This is Chris’s plan. You spent your own money to do it. What does it have to do with us!” Hermione sighed softly and moved her eyes back to the document, “But this matter can’t be rushed. , You still have to be patient! At least the people around my parents are still resistant to magic.”
“Don’t worry! You still have decades to serve as minister, take your time.” Lu Yun smiled and poked the communication mirror with his wand.
Soon.
“The advertisement is in place.” Lu Yunkai smiled and said to Hermione, “You go ahead and get busy! I’m also going to handle the handover matters before entering Azkaban.”
“Well, let me ask you one last time, have you really thought about going to Azkaban to play the role of a victim and defender?” Hermione moved her eyes again and looked at Lu Yunkai, “Maybe we will There are other ways to inspire ordinary wizards to agree with your ideas.”
“Dumbledore also had other choices when he lost to Voldemort.” Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, “Facts have proved that Dumbledore’s decision was correct, and most wizards ultimately chose to side with him. Behind me. This time, I think I can do it. Besides… I don’t think there will be a more worry-free place than Azkaban in the next two years. You know me, I’m lazy.”
“Okay.” Hermione smiled and shook her head, looking back at the document in her hand.
Lu Yunkai left the minister’s office with a smile and walked along a familiar road to the entrance of the Ministry of Magic.
“Father!!”
Suddenly a voice called out to Lu Yunkai who was about to go home through the fireplace.
“…Delphi?”
Lu Yunkai turned his head, saw the panting witch standing behind him and chased after him, and laughed.
“Father, are you here to see Minister Granger at the Ministry of Magic today?”
“Well, a sponsorship contract.” Lu Yunkai shook the paper in his hand, “What’s wrong? I heard from Daphne that you were on a business trip to Europe during this time, right?”
“My surname is very inconvenient in Europe, so my colleagues asked me to come back first.” The witch Lu Yunkai called Delphi shook her head helplessly, “Those French guys looked at me like they were looking at a fire dragon. “
“Just get used to it, that’s just envy! Lestrange is the oldest magical family name in France!” Lu Yun smiled, “But…since you are in England, why don’t you come to attend Horace’s funeral?”
“Grandpa has always disliked me, so I won’t bother him anymore.” Delphi shook his head, then looked around and lowered his voice, “Well… I didn’t mean to say that. I didn’t want to talk about this at the meeting this morning. It’s the clerk…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Lu Yunkai instantly understood what his adopted daughter was worried about, and comforted her with a smile.
“But I see that there are many people who will never be willing to send you, father, to Azkaban…”
“Just in time, I can go in and see your biological mother.”
“……Father!!!”
“It’s okay. I’ve planned all this. Just work with peace of mind!” Lu Yunkai reached out and patted his daughter on the shoulder, “When I come out, show me your boyfriend!”
“…Father, you are so awesome!!” Delphi was a little annoyed, “Aren’t you afraid that this kind of thing will affect your younger brothers and sisters??”
“None of you are afraid of this!” Lu Yunkai was happy to hear this, “Especially you, huh? You want to break into Azkaban to meet Bella before you graduate from Hogwarts. If it weren’t for Gram Liz happened to be in Hogwarts at that time, and stopped your adventure, so you just moved in and lived next to Bella. “
“…Why, it happens to be at Hogwarts. It’s obviously following me.” Delphi muttered, “Narcissa always said that Chris had ill intentions towards me.”
“Has bad intentions? If it really has bad intentions towards you, even I can’t save you! Don’t think so much all day long!” Lu Yunkai shook his head, “I’m leaving, you go back to work! Come home and eat when you have time Damn, Severus has always missed you.”
“oh.”
Although Delphi was a little unhappy, she still nodded. Over the past twenty years, she had long been accustomed to listening to her father’s words.
…
“Lu Yunkai?”
“professor.”
“How many times have I told you, I am no longer a professor at Hogwarts.”
“We in the East have a saying, once a teacher, always a father. You will always be my teacher in my heart.”
Lu Yunkai smiled and saluted the man sitting in front of him.
Snape looked much older, but still energetic.
“Why do you want to come see me today?” Although Snape was unhappy with Lu Yunkai’s insistence on calling him professor, his expression became much more relaxed when Lu Yunkai said this.
His arrogant temper may never change in this life.
“Come this time, I don’t know when the next time will be.” Lu Yunkai smiled and sat on the chair next to Snape.
He glanced at what looked like a baby’s cradle not far away.
“What? Has your plan started?” Snape raised his eyebrows.
As Lu Yunkai’s most trusted elder, he knew all of Lu Yunkai’s plans and naturally understood what Lu Yunkai said.
“Actually, it has been started a long time ago. It started when I asked Nagini to help me find a Muggle to establish a Muggle company.” Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, “It’s just this step.”
“…Compared to the two Dark Lords, your method of sacrifice is quite clever!!” Snape smiled and shook his head, “But are you sure it will be useful?”
“How will you know if you don’t try! Besides, isn’t it the pride of a Slytherin to go to Azkaban for a while?”
“You brat!!” Snape sighed with a smile, “I hope I can still live to see your plan succeed!”
“Of course I will! And not only you, but also Voldemort can see that day.” Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at the cradle again, “This is my repayment for his mercy on me and not killing me. We must make him admit that it was wrong to oppose the secrecy law by turning into a pure-blood wizard.”
“Yeah.” Snape smiled and nodded.
Lu Yunkai stood up, bowed to Snape, and left.
The moment his figure disappeared with the phantom, a hoarse voice sounded from the cradle.
“Severus, haven’t you told him that I actually admitted that I was wrong?”
“Master, you can never make a mistake.”
“…Severus, you are still so stubborn!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Master.”
Snape had a satisfied smile on his face.
The sea breeze carrying the warm spring sunset blew on his face, and he looked very happy.
