Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 207 Reluctant Invitation

"What? Hermione gave up, but you came here again?"

Time passed in the afternoon.

At noon, just as Lu Yunkai guessed, Umbridge came to the auditorium, and then in front of Dumbledore, who was eating silently there, issued a new school rule as a senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic.

It's what Gore found out from somewhere before.

As soon as this school rule was announced, everyone was stunned.

People who knew what happened in the classroom that day almost immediately turned their attention to Lu Yunkai.

This naturally includes Hermione.

She finally understood what Lu Yunkai meant by being targeted.

Harry was just locked up, but not to the extent that Umbridge had to establish a special school rule to deal with it.

So after lunch, Hermione found Lu Yunkai and expressed her understanding of him not joining their study group.

Because Hermione also came to her senses, letting Harry and Lu Yunkai, two people who were under Umbridge's attention, appear in this study group together... It would be better to just create a counter-calculation from the Ministry of Magic.

But just because Hermione came to her senses, it didn't mean that Harry had come to his senses. He even felt that Lu Yunkai and he were targeted by Umbridge at the same time, so they should join forces to fight the old witch...

So Lu Yunkai, a good friend with a straightforward personality, found Lu Yunkai before class in the afternoon and extended the invitation again.

"I know I'm not good enough to teach them, but you can do it!" Harry's expression was sincere, "Voldemort is not dead, we need ways to protect ourselves..."

"Whether he is dead or not, what you are doing now is very dangerous." Lu Yunkai shook his head with a smile, "You have to have confidence in Dumbledore and don't cause trouble for him."

"The reason why we learn things ourselves is to help him share his worries." Harry shook his head firmly.

"I don't think so." Lu Yunkai shook his head firmly.

The two of them chatted for a while, and it was time for class, so they broke up unhappily.

In the herbal medicine class that followed, the tense atmosphere between Lu Yunkai and Harry seemed to continue.

Professor Sprout, who usually had a kind smile on his face, seemed to be in a bad mood. Seamus Finnigan accidentally broke a flower pot, and then was deducted ten points from Gryffindor by Sprout, who almost never deducted house points...

Even Sprout's favorite student, Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott, didn't know what happened to her today.

However, Lu Yunkai knew it.

Lu Yunkai discovered that the pot of forgetfulness placed on the top shelf of the greenhouse that Irene had arranged to give to Sprout seemed to be missing...

Considering that Professor Sprout is one of the most popular people in Hogwarts, there is no way that any blind person would have the idea of ​​​​tapping her things. Besides, for most people in this school, forgetfulness Grass is of no use.

Only a person who takes the Ministry of Magic's regulations very seriously would care about such a pot of grass...

Lu Yunkai could guess where the pot of amnesia went with his toes.

Therefore, after class, Lu Yunkai ignored Harry, who seemed to be waiting for him and wanted to persuade him again, but insisted on staying in the greenhouse until the end.

"Lu Yunkai? I was planning to find you..."

Professor Sprout spoke without energy, and his face looked a little tired.

But when she saw Lu Yunkai, she could still put on a smile.

"Professor, I know it may be inappropriate to say this, but...actually, forgetfulness is not a particularly rare herb to me. When the limelight passes, I will give you another pot."

Lu Yunkai approached Professor Sprout and spoke in a low voice.

Sprout was obviously stunned when he heard Lu Yunkai's words.

There was an indescribable expression on her face.

"I'm not angry because of that pot of grass... Although it is very precious, it doesn't make me so sad." When Sprout spoke again, his tone was very uncalm, "I can't be angry with that Umbridge. ...But think about it, there's nothing you can do about it. No matter how special Hogwarts is, it's still just a school!"

"...Professor, why are you suddenly saying these words to me? Should I pretend not to understand?" Lu Yunkai's expression was a little strange.

Just a school after all? If such words fall into the ears of someone like Umbridge, something big will happen!

"Did I just say something?" After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Professor Sprout, who was still a little angry, put on her signature smile again, and then sighed softly, "Actually, I was originally I also wanted to talk to you alone in the past two days. When Umbridge came to my place at noon today, I felt that she came prepared. "

"Come prepared? You are suspicious...impossible! Irene will never go out and talk about the forget grass!" Lu Yunkai shook his head resolutely.

"I know it's definitely not Irene." Sprout smiled, "The Ministry of Magic can check the owl's letters and item delivery records."

"...Next time, I will ask Eileen to take the forget grass to Hogsmeade in person, and then Professor, you can just go and get it." Lu Yunkai frowned.

"That's not what I meant." Sprout waved his hand, "She kept asking me where this pot of grass came from when she was searching here. I think she may have known that this pot of grass has something to do with you. ”

"Professor, do you think she checked this pot of grass because of me?"

"Probably." Sprout nodded, "So I remind you to be careful. Although I don't know why she seems to be specifically targeting you, I know that if she collects a lot of bad things about you and then takes action against you, , Hogwarts...is really just a school."

"...I understand." Lu Yunkai would be a fool if he didn't understand what Sprout was talking about after hearing this.

"Well." Sprout had that tired expression on his face again, "You can leave now, I'm going back to take a rest."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Professor."

Lu Yunkai bowed politely to Sprout, then turned around and left the herbology classroom greenhouse.

Dinner time, in the hall.

"Yunkai, where did you go after class in the afternoon?"

Blaise sat down next to Lu Yunkai, grabbed a chicken leg from the dining table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Owl Tower." Lu Yunkai replied casually, "Why, are you looking for me?"

He actually went to the Room of Requirement.

It wasn't that he was asking for anything (of course he instinctively thought about the room to make the map, but unsurprisingly failed), he just wanted to find a place to be quiet and think carefully.

Lu Yunkai would not ignore what Sprout told him.

Sprout was not Trelawney. She had always been steady and she could tell Lu Yunkai that Umbridge might be looking for a reason to target him. Then Lu Yunkai had to figure out why Umbridge did this.

You know, if Umbridge collects evidence that Lu Yunkai is spreading the forget grass everywhere, which has been banned by the Ministry of Magic, she will definitely not only establish her power through him.

This is the time to send him to Azkaban.

But obviously this summer, Lu Yunkai "cooperated happily" with the Ministry of Magic and performed a drama of friendly exchanges between international wizards. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Magic shouldn't have any objections to him, a "submissive citizen", right?

Therefore, he stayed quietly in the Room of Requirement, facing a large piece of parchment, sorting out his relationship with the Ministry of Magic for a long time, looking for any reason that might make the Ministry of Magic dissatisfied with him.

In fact, it didn't take him long to think before he found a reason that had been mentioned before but forgotten by him for various reasons...

Communication mirror.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai, who was sitting in the auditorium now, was in a gloomy mood.

"It's not me. It's Padma." Blaise lowered his voice and moved closer to Lu Yunkai, "She has something to do with you."

"Padma? I didn't see anything wrong with her during class in the afternoon!" Lu Yunkai glanced at the Ravenclaw table.

Padma was not seen.

"I don't know either." Blaise shook his head. "She said that if you are free tonight, she would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's the business?" Lu Yunkai instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple.

What's more, he really isn't in the mood to deal with a girl he's not too familiar with right now.

"She didn't tell me." Blaise shook his head, "What, you don't want to?"

"...You've said so, even if I don't want to, do I still have to agree?" Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

He was really embarrassed to say that another thing he was upset about now was also related to Blaise!

"Interesting." Blaise smiled and nodded, "Then you can contact her directly through the communication mirror... Do you have her contact number?"

"No." Lu Yunkai shook his head, and forced himself to speak up for spiritual education: "You!! You must tell her about this kind of thing! And you have to take me with you!"

"...Yes!" Blaise nodded, "I'll contact her."

"..."

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly.

It's just that his mood right now is really bad and he can't laugh!

After hearing Lu Yunkai's "guidance", Blaise didn't waste any time. He took out the communication mirror and sent a message to Padma. After a while, Padma's message came over.

"She said to ask you to go to the corridor on the eighth floor after dinner and she will look for you."

Blaise relayed the news on the mirror with some depression.

Obviously, Padma didn't want him to go there...

"She doesn't want you to go? Then why should I go?" Lu Yunkai looked at Blaise and became more and more speechless.

What made him even more speechless was the location. The eighth floor...Why did Padma ask him to go there?

What else can be done! Lu Yunkai is almost certainly related to the self-study group organized by Harry and the others!

"I can't say that to her directly." Blais shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, you do me this favor, I will just remember this relationship."

"...I'm not asking you to owe me any favors! I just want to help you get things done!!" Lu Yunkai rubbed his head speechlessly, "Do we still need to talk about these favors?"

"...No more." Blais shook his head helplessly.

It’s really not necessary! But he didn't know what Padma meant. She obviously came to him to ask Lu Yunkai for help, but she didn't let him get involved.

Lu Yunkai, who was not hungry because of worries, lost his appetite after being made such a fuss by Blaise. He casually said a few words to the disappointed Blaise and left the hall.

He didn't go back to the dormitory or go to the eighth floor where he had an appointment with Padma, but walked out of the castle directly.

Behind the castle, next to the Whomping Willow.

There is no one in this place and it is the safest place in the entire Hogwarts.

Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror.

Not long after.

"Hey! Master Lu, why did you remember to contact me?"

Madame Zabini's sinister voice sounded in the mirror.

Paired with her charming and beautiful face, it was really uncomfortable.

"The Ministry of Magic seems to be planning to take action against the communication mirror." Lu Yunkai didn't bother to chat with Mrs. Zabini and directly stated the purpose of the call.

Madame Zabini's face was frozen for three seconds.

Then he sighed softly.

"So fast? How did you know?"

"Umbridge was in school collecting evidence that I gave forgetfulness grass to Professor Sprout." Lu Yunkai said simply.

Sure enough, without Lu Yunkai's explanation, Mrs. Zabini narrowed her eyes just after hearing these words.

There was silence for another five seconds.

"These guys are quite ruthless, and their attacks are more damaging than I imagined." Mrs. Zabini gritted her teeth.

"Didn't you guess that such a day would come when I was still studying the mirror?" Lu Yunkai relaxed a little after seeing Mrs. Zabini's reaction, and asked casually.

"Yeah. So you don't have to worry too much. Fudge may not dare to do anything to you, let alone a deputy minister." Mrs. Zabini nodded, "But you should be more careful and don't give them any excuses. Bargaining is tiring.”

"Don't worry. They can't even catch me with that pot of grass." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "But I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid thieves will be thinking about it. This Umbridge is really disgusting..."

"It's not anyone else's fault." Mrs. Zabini put a teasing smile on her face again, "Who asked you to help Fudge promote the International Union of Wizards this summer? It was originally about Sirius's escape from prison the year before last. He was almost forced to resign, but with the help of the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, he managed to regain his approval rating. Now Fudge is the one in the Ministry of Magic, and so is Umbridge. His absolute confidant, otherwise do you think anyone can ask for an education order from the Ministry of Magic the next morning?"

"...It turns out it's my fault!!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

"So! People from the Ministry of Magic can't do anything to you, but don't expect anyone to be able to drive Umbridge away from Hogwarts. Don't say I can't do it, just Lucius and Dun Bullido doesn't have this ability now." Mrs. Zabini shook her head, "You just have to study hard these days."

"I wanted to study honestly, but your son sold me out!"

"...Huh? What did that silly boy Blaise do again?" Listening to Lu Yunkai talking about Blaise, Mrs. Zabini was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Harry Potter gathered a group of people in school and wanted to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts secretly behind Umbridge's back. He asked me to tutor them. I refused, and then your son sold me to his girlfriend. "Yes." Lu Yunkai said simply, "You said I have to agree to him, right?"

"...This stinky boy!!"

"Okay, I have to go and keep your son's appointment now." Lu Yunkai glanced at the time and finally told Mrs. Zabini: "You should start paying attention to the things at the Ministry of Magic. Don't let them be deliberately or unintentionally. ”

After that, he ended the call, put away the magic mirror, and returned to the castle.

Go all the way to the eighth floor.

"Lu Yunkai!!"

Before he even had time to step up the last step, Padma's voice sounded over there.

Looking along the sound, Lu Yunkai knew that he had guessed correctly.

There were several people standing in front of the tapestry of Barnabas Beaten by Trolls, and Padma was among them.

It's really a room where everyone can ask for something.

Lu Yunkai immediately thought of the room with various magic tools for practicing.

Harry found a good place to take classes!
