Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Meow, are you sure this is how this thing is used?"

"I'm not sure! But how will you know if you don't try!"

Lu Yunkai squatted on the ground with a smile, humming a song and drawing lines on the ground with his wand.

Kris, who was squatting on the side, felt a little speechless when she saw Lu Yun opening the parchment in the pile of complicated and strange beauty.

Four days have passed since they saw a group of giants singing and dancing in the mountains of Bulgaria. In just two days, Chrissy ran all the way from the mountains of Eastern Europe back to England. She is actually quite tired now.

But as soon as he returned home, he saw Lu Yunkai squatting in a room at home that appeared according to his ideas, using a wand to draw a magic circle on the ground. It had no intention of resting.

Why don't you watch the bastard if there's a lot of fun!

But it really doubted whether Lu Yunkai could come up with anything.

"If you're tired, go to bed. I probably won't be able to finish this magic circle today, and I won't be able to start the ceremony." Lu Yunkai looked at Chris who was barely holding on, but her eyelids were fighting and she could hardly sit still. He said with a smile: "And yesterday Snape sent me a letter via owl, saying that he would take me to attend a dinner of the Potion Masters Association tonight, and I am not free tonight."

"Snape?"

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But I think it's definitely not as simple as a dinner party. It's probably because he has something to say to me in person. This is an excuse."

"Meow, do you want me to go?"

"No need. I'll just tell you later." Lu Yunkai continued to draw the magic circle while saying, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, and he just wants to cultivate me."

"Meow, okay, I'll go back to sleep." Chrissy yawned loudly and wandered out of the room.

Lu Yunkai continued to hum and draw a magic circle on the ground.

In fact, this magic circle has been restored to what Lu Yunkai saw in the mountains of Bulgaria.

He just didn't think about starting it.

After all, this is a summoning magic circle! Although Lu Yunkai guessed based on the five-pointed star on the summoning position in the center of the magic circle, maybe the summoning scroll bought in the system could be used in this ritual, but God knows what the hell this vague magic scroll can summon!

It's fine if it fails, but if it succeeds and something weird is summoned, Lu Yunkai has to find a way to solve it...

However, after all, this was an opportunity to solve the curse on Daphne, and he felt a little unwilling not to give it a try.

Tangled.

So he planned to listen to its suggestions after Chris had rested and was in a clear-headed state.

…

"You performed very well tonight."

"Thank you, Professor."

It was late at night in a blink of an eye.

A dinner party that he knew was not going to be a meal before he came (Lu Yunkai even ate before setting off from home) finally came to an end.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

The host of the dinner was the current vice-president of the association, a highly respected elderly wizard. He invited all the current British members of the association, a total of seventy-two people.

Of course, less than forty people came.

After all, this is an association with an extremely loose structure. The people who participate in the association are all a group of guys with somewhat unruly temperaments. The fact that there are nearly forty people here proves that the vice president is quite well-connected.

Lu Yunkai even met the "master" who kicked him and Malfoy out before at the dinner party.

It was not pleasant to meet again.

However, considering the host's face and seeing the fake badge on Lu Yunkai's chest, the master did not get angry on the spot.

Yin and yang are indispensable.

But no one took it seriously. After all, in a circle where geniuses gathered, it was normal for no one to look down on the other. They were not the only ones who were at odds with each other.

But apart from the old friend with whom he had an old grudge, Lu Yunkai was still very likable.

As a new member, Lu Yunkai behaved extremely low-key. He kept walking around to greet each other, with a smile on his face and compliments that almost never stopped (this is not hypocritical, after all, none of the big guys in this room are necessarily at the same level. Worse than Snape), and it was extremely rare to hear compliments on such occasions. In addition, Snape was still nearby and mentioned his adoptive father from time to time, which helped Lu Yunkai gain a lot of favor. .

It should be said that Lu Yunkai's visit this night was not in vain.

After leaving the banquet venue, Lu Yunkai was not in a hurry to go home. He had long known that Snape was looking for him for something else.

"I just heard you and Sir Downton discussing whether it is necessary to add the eggs of the Dechichi Rana into the potion of dreamless sleep... This idea is quite interesting." Snape nodded, "I thought you had I no longer have any energy to focus on potions.”

"Of course not." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "I usually make some potions myself from time to time for later use."

"Yeah. That's good. I hope you don't let the fame get to your head like some reckless Gryffindor."

"...Professor, actually I think...forget it." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

He had always found Snape's attitude toward Harry strange.

Although Snape has always had an extremely disgusting attitude towards Harry, whether in public or privately (from Sirius, Lu Yunkai also knew that the reason for this disgust was directly related to Harry's father), but Lu Yunkai It still feels weird.

To give an inappropriate example, if you see a poop of dog poop on the road, you will run to the side, circle around the poop, and then say to everyone passing by, "Look! There is a poop here!" How disgusting!"?

This kind of childish behavior has not even been done by Malfoy recently (of course, this is also because Lu Yunkai is Harry's friend, and it is not convenient for Malfoy to show too much disgust towards Harry), not to mention that his scheming is as deep as the sea. Oh, Snape!

There must be some explanation for this, but Lu Yunkai doesn't know it.

"I heard that you went to Bulgaria some time ago?" Snape seemed to be chatting and brought up other things, which also diverted Lu Yunkai's attention.

"Yes. Went to see Krum."

"Krum? How did I hear that you went to Bulgaria to find the giant?"

"Oh, that's because after I went to the Middle East with Mr. Greengrass, I discovered that the curse on Daphne might be related to giants, and the earliest giant tribe was in Bulgaria, so I went to have a look." Lu Yunkai said truthfully. .

"Just because of this?"

"Otherwise? Are you, like a certain Bulgarian official, worried that I am contacting the giant on behalf of the mysterious man?" Lu Yun asked with a smile.

Quiet.

"You are really brave enough to dare to say such a thing publicly." Snape sighed softly, "You are really not, right?"

"Of course." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But... Professor, are you sure you want to know about the mysterious man?"

"No need." Snape shook his head, "He will come to me if necessary."

"Um."

Damn chatter.

"I'm just reminding you that although I don't know what happened, you seem to have successfully sneaked into the Dark Lord's circle and even been reused by him... But don't expect to get any secrets from him." Snape said in a regretful tone: "He is not someone like you who can't keep secrets. He hides his thoughts deeper than anyone else."

"...Professor, there is actually something that I am curious about." Lu Yunkai looked around and lowered his voice, "Where...are you from?"

"I told you that the best way to protect a secret is to let as few people know as possible. Do you think I will tell you?" Snape narrowed his eyes and answered the question.

"Understood." Lu Yunkai nodded.

This answer was roundabout, but Lu Yunkai understood it.

"Don't be so smart." Snape snorted, but there was a little admiration in his eyes, "I came to you today because someone has something to ask you..."

"Dumbledore?"

"...Hmm. He hopes that you can write a letter to your adoptive father, asking him to come back and teach at Hogwarts."

"Write a letter? How to write?" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Snape speechlessly, "I have never even met him...well, at least after I lifted the magic. I don't even know his full name. How can I write a letter to him? I can’t even send it!”

"He is your adoptive father. You don't need to go through these procedures to write to him." Snape shook his head speechlessly, "This is the basic principle of owl communication. You don't understand it?"

"...Even if I can write, I won't be able to write." Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "I'm really not familiar with him."

"Forget it. Actually, I guessed it too." Snape sighed, "But actually, I think the Headmaster just wants to resist... but it won't be of any use."

"Ah? Resistance? What do you mean??"

"Barty Crouch died near Hogwarts last year when he was hosting the Triwizard Cup." Snape lowered his voice, "That was the director of the International Cooperation Department! And he died near Hogwarts." In the hands of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor..."

"To be honest, I also think that Dumbledore's vision in hiring the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really not very good. From Quirrell to Lockhart to Lupin, and then a fake Moody..." Lu Yunkai took the opportunity to complain. , “It’s really hard to describe in words.”

"Some people in the Ministry of Magic feel the same way." Snape nodded, "So, they issued an education order and planned to officially arrange for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to teach at the school."

Quiet.

"So, is it the Ministry of Magic that wants to interfere in the management of Hogwarts?" Lu Yunkai instantly understood why Dumbledore wanted his adoptive father to come back. "But even if my adoptive father comes back... Professor, are you going to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?" "

"That's what I suggested, but the Headmaster thinks it's unlikely to succeed. The Ministry of Magic is very determined to intervene this time." Snape nodded, "Even if Professor Slughorn comes back, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop magic. After all, the Ministry of Magic is really embarrassed about Barty Crouch.”

"The Ministry of Magic hasn't brought up the matter of Bertha Jorkins yet?" Lu Yunkai sighed speechlessly, "As expected of the Ministry of Magic, it's a backwater."

"I'll go back and tell Dumbledore that you refused to invite your adoptive father." Snape didn't want to comment on the Ministry of Magic, because it really didn't make any sense. "Then I also want to remind you that although Dumbledore has not yet I want you to provide information about the Dark Lord, but be prepared, this may happen at any time."

"I have provided everything that needs to be provided, and now I have nothing to say. By the way, about the Horcrux..."

"Your Excellency the Headmaster is verifying it. After all, this is just your guess. If you don't see even a real Horcrux, Your Excellency the Headmaster will not easily believe that this is the Dark Lord's backhand." Snape shook his head, "This Don’t mention it again.”

"Okay. Then I'm going home."

"Well, you'd better have less contact with the Dark Lord during the rest of the summer vacation..."

"I'm busy dealing with the curse on Daphne, so I don't have time!" Lu Yun laughed and said, "Compared with the curse, nothing is important."

"...You!!" Snape had a helpless smile on his face, but he quickly put it away, "Be careful, the magic of cursing is very complicated, and it's nothing like Potions and magic circles are simple.”

"Of course I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Thank you, Professor."

"Okay, you go back!" Snape nodded, "I'm going to talk to the Headmaster."

"Thank you Professor for today."

Lu Yunkai thanked Snape politely, then turned and left.

Snape, on the other hand, watched Lu Yunkai walk into the fireplace. After the figure disappeared, a phantom also disappeared.

…

Lu Yunkai's home.

"Brother-in-law!! You're finally back! I'm almost anxious to death!! I sent you so many messages on the mirror, why don't you reply to me??"

"Why should I bring a mirror when I go out to a meeting...what's wrong?"

"I don't know! My sister just went upstairs and hasn't come down since."

"...go upstairs?"

"Yes! Before dinner, she said she would come over to have dinner with you. I came with her. After she went upstairs, she didn't come down." Astoria's face was full of worry, "Sister Irene came down just now. Then he said that maybe my sister went to a room that she couldn’t go to..."

"Why don't you go find Chris... How many hours have it been?" Lu Yunkai then remembered that Chris had probably gone to sleep in a room that no one could enter except him and herself. .

"That's it!"

"Then where can she go...ah!!! Oops!!"

That magic circle! !
