Hogwarts Kryptonian - Chapter 51 An unexpected encounter
Early the next morning, Lu Yunkai got up and came to Diagon Alley.
First, I went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and bought two books about wands. Then I went to Florin’s Cold Drink Shop, found a pretty good seat outside the store, sat down, and started reading.
Of course he didn’t come to read a book, but to keep an eye on the clerk.
Being able to arrange for someone to apply for a job as a clerk, Lu Yunkai had already determined that someone was eyeing Mrs. Zabini before the store was established.
He was not interested at all in whether someone was targeting Mrs. Zabini. What he needed to determine was whether that person was a threat to him.
As for the two books related to wands, they are typical of idleness. He might as well take the opportunity to study how to make his wand shine when necessary when not casting spells.
In order to occupy a convenient position to monitor the staff, Lu Yunkai arrived at the beverage shop early. At this time, the clerks at Zabini Magic Items Shop had not yet gone to work, so he had to read a book first.
But this glance didn’t matter, his attention fell completely into the book.
The matter of the wand glowing is far more difficult and complicated than he imagined, because it involves the origin of magic: all wizards need a wand to cast magic. Is the magic cast by the wizard or the wand? ?
If we don’t figure this out first, then we basically have no way to figure out why the magic wand glows when casting magic, and how to make the wand glow when not casting magic…
But the problem is that it seems that in the nearly two thousand years of magic history, not a single relevant research work has been handed down.
It’s not even in the system.
Lu Yunkai saw an interesting phenomenon here: most of the people who were curious about this issue were half-baked wizards like Lu Yunkai, who had no chance of studying such a complex problem. However, the wizards who were really capable of answering this question seemed to only know how to use it. Interested in more powerful magic.
There must be some reason.
Lu Yunkai’s attention fell completely into the book without realizing it.
It wasn’t until he felt hungry that he realized that it was almost dark. He sat there and read all day.
Fortunately, he woke up just in time, just in time for the store clerk to close the door.
And Lu Yunkai saw a small reagent bottle in his hand, with a silver mist-like thing inside. Although Lu Yunkai had never seen it, he guessed that it should be a memory that the clerk took out before leaving get off work.
Since he has to do this in the store, the place where he wants to hide this memory must be on the way to get off work, near Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. This is definitely good news for Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai quickly packed up the two books he had just been reading, drank a bottle of concealing potion, and then secretly followed the clerk.
Maybe it was because of the medicine, or maybe it was because of Lu Yunkai’s appearance, but the clever-looking clerk didn’t notice that he was being followed at all.
The two of them arrived at the teleportation fireplace in Knockturn Alley, one after the other.
The clerk found a blue brick with a simple X-shaped mark painted on the corner, pulled out the brick, and then put the medicine bottle in.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned directly to the teleportation fireplace.
And just before he was about to enter the fireplace, a figure came out of the fireplace.
A faint white light flashed.
The clerk paused slightly, but did not stop and walked directly into the fireplace.
With another green flash of Floo powder, the clerk left Knockturn Alley.
But at this time, Lu Yunkai’s eyes were no longer on the clerk. When he saw the white light, he almost instinctively thought of a spell: the Oblivion Curse.
The last piece of the puzzle of Voldemort’s hidden strategy was put together in his mind.
It is a place where memories are stored that are backed up every once in a while. There is no reason not to check and confirm the next time you put a new memory!
If you find that the memories previously stored here have been lost, you will naturally suspect that this place has been discovered by others, and you will definitely not hide memories here again in the future. Therefore, this kind of latent collection of information without the other party’s knowledge is only Could be a one-off.
But if it is paired with a forgetting spell so that the person thinks it is the first time every time he hides his memory, then there will be no problem.
And the person who used the forgetting spell on the lurker was naturally the “connector”.
He was a middle-aged man who looked quite handsome. Just by looking at his arrogant and world-weary temperament, he knew that he must be from a noble family.
Lu Yunkai believed that such a person spying on Mrs. Zabini was definitely not pursuing her.
He probably wanted to find out how Mrs. Zabini, who had always been married as a profession, could get some weird things to open a shop to sell.
In other words, this person’s target is Lu Yunkai.
Moreover, the more Lu Yunkai looked at this middle-aged man, the more he seemed familiar. But although it looked familiar, he really couldn’t remember where he had seen it.
This feeling made Lu Yunkai a little scared.
Could it be that I had met him and then he used the Forgetting Curse?
Just when Lu Yunkai remembered the appearance of the visitor and wanted to turn around and leave, he accidentally met the man’s eyes.
Lu Yunkai secretly cried out in his heart.
The effect of this concealment potion is to make the people around you unable to notice your existence, but it does not completely prevent the other party from seeing you. But now their eyes are locked, and the other party has seen it even if he wasn’t paying attention!
The lurking failed!
“Whose child are you? Why did you come to Knockturn Alley?” The man’s voice also sounded very elegant and full of aristocratic temperament.
Although there is full of vigilance inside.
“What happened to Knockturn Alley?” Lu Yunkai said in a calm tone.
“Hmph! Orientals…” The man said with a disdainful tone, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around again, looked at Lu Yunkai, and looked at him again.
“What, sir?” Lu Yunkai still disagreed, “Can’t Asians appear in Knockturn Alley?”
“Is your name Lu Yunkai?”
“Oh? Have we met?” Lu Yun felt a little happy, but still tried to stay calm.
How does this person know him?
“I always hear my Draco talking about you.” The blond man had a faint smile on his face.
Draco? Malfoy? ?
oh! ! This man is Lucius Malfoy!
Lu Yunkai took another look at this elegant and handsome man with long pale blond hair, holding a cane with a silver tip, and exuding a Slytherin temperament all over his body.
Don’t tell me, he is exactly the same as his son!
But knowing this person’s identity did not make Lu Yunkai relax. Because Lu Yunkai knew this man’s other identity: a Death Eater.
“You are Mr. Malfoy!” Lu Yunkai smiled, “I really didn’t expect to see you here. Didn’t you take Draco to France for vacation? Are you back so soon?”
“I have something to do and have moved my vacation to next month.” Lucius smiled and nodded, “I heard Draco said that he invited you to go with him but you refused?”
“I’m worried about disturbing your family’s vacation.” Lu Yunkai said with a smile, “Mr. Malfoy, you are busy, why should I leave first?”
“Please wait a moment.” Lucius stopped Lu Yunkai and looked at him again, “I heard from Draco before that you performed very well in school and even broke Dumbledore’s sealing spell on you. ?”
“It’s just good luck.” Lu Yun smiled.
“But I believe Professor Snape will not allow people to use forget grass, right? Who gave you the confidence to use such a dangerous thing?”
Lucius’s words convinced Lu Yunkai, who originally had a smile on his face.
Why does this sentence sound strange?
Could it be that he felt that someone was encouraging him to use the forget grass to break Dumbledore’s magic behind his back?
Could it be! ?
“I just gave it a try, because I heard that a wizard once said that as long as forgetfulness is not heated, there will be no toxins.” When Lu Yunkai answered, he spoke much more carefully.
“Yeah. A great discovery, but not recognized. But where did you hear about it?”
“It’s just…I heard.” Lu Yun’s eyelids twitched violently.
“You still have to be careful with some things. You are still young. Taking risks may sometimes hurt yourself and your friends.”
“Well, thank you for the reminder.” Lu Yunkai tried his best to smile and salute to express his gratitude. “I’m sorry, Mr. Malfoy, I have an appointment with someone, and I might be late if I don’t leave.”
“Okay. Come to Malfoy Manor as a guest when you have time! Draco has said it several times.”
Lucius smiled and nodded.
“certainly!”
Lu Yunkai smiled and slowly left Knockturn Alley, leaving a calm and confident figure behind for Lucius.
It’s just that his heart is far from as calm as he looks.
After returning to the bar, he immediately wrote a letter to Mrs. Zabini, telling her that the person spying on the shop was Lucius Malfoy, and told her that he had something to do tonight and asked her not to come to the Leaky Cauldron to look for him. Own.
After that, she returned to the room with Chris who was about to go out, and sat cross-legged on the bed, looking as if she was facing an enemy.
“Meow? What happened? You were discovered by Malfoy’s father?”
The lights in the room were not turned on, and Lu Yunkai, who was silent in the darkness, made Chris, who was still in a good mood, worried.
“There’s something I’d like to hear your opinion on.”
Lu Yunkai did not answer Chris, but kept talking to himself.
“Whatever it is, just say it, meow.”
“you said I……”
Lu Yunkai said, shaking the old notebook in his hand.
“Should I return it to its original owner?”
“Meow??”
