Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Are you okay?"

"No!"

"...What did Umbridge say to you just now?"

Daphne asked Lu Yunkai in a low voice with a worried look on her face.

An hour later, in the hall of Hogwarts, the usual welcome dinner before the start of the new semester was being held.

But for Lu Yunkai and his friends, it was not very usual to miss Dumbledore's speech before the dinner.

And just now Umbridge talked about how happy this Christmas holiday was, and Lu Yunkai didn't listen to a word.

He buried his head the whole time, thinking about his worries.

There were things about Malfoy Manor, and also about what Umbridge said to him on the platform.

His heart was very confused.

Looking at Malfoy, who always chose to sit next to him at this time, today he chose the most likely position far away from him, and Lu Yunkai understood that this matter would give him a headache for a long time...

And now what is even more worrying is the concern from Daphne.

Seeing Lu Yunkai's unhappy and worried look, Daphne thought that Umbridge had bullied him on the platform just now! Her expression was full of heartache.

"Umbridge wants to recruit me to be her subordinate."

"...Ah?" Daphne almost screamed out, but fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hand.

It didn't attract much attention.

"Keep your voice down." Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Daphne.

"She recruited you?? Hasn't she always disliked you?"

"How should I know!!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

His thoughts returned to the platform an hour ago.

…

"Where did you go during the Christmas holidays?"

"Me? At home! What happened?"

"Really? I heard from my colleagues that during the holidays, a not very honest wizard apprentice went abroad..."

"If this is true, the Ministry of Magic should have notified him directly to accept the investigation, right?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Umbridge, "If there is evidence, he should be expelled from Hogwarts directly, right?"

"Some evidence, if you want to find it, you will find it sooner or later. And sometimes, evidence is not that important, don't you know that?" Umbridge added sinisterly.

"Professor, first of all, I don't know if anyone would violate the Ministry of Magic's decree so blatantly. Secondly, even if there is, it is definitely not me who is very interested in the Ministry of Magic's decree and has studied it carefully, right?" Lu Yunkai retorted with a smile, "And, if this is true, I think you really need to allow the study group I applied for before to be established. We must study the relevant terms more carefully and realize the seriousness to avoid such behavior. Don't you think so?" "Well, so, I think you are right. I approve your application." Umbridge nodded very straightforwardly. Lu Yunkai was stunned. What's wrong with this...? "Not only is your application approved, I also want to tell you." Umbridge looked at the surprised Lu Yunkai and smiled even more happily, "As long as I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, anything you do in school will not be held accountable." Silence. After a long time. "What do you want?" Lu Yunkai asked with narrowed eyes. His face was full of vigilance. "Before, you said you wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic. I said you were not suitable. But the facts prove that I may be wrong, and very wrong." Umbridge smiled and shook her head, "You are not only suitable, but you are even born for the Ministry of Magic."

"...Your words don't sound like you are praising me." Lu Yunkai couldn't help but complained.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to tell you that you have passed our assessment, so... welcome to join."

"...What?"

"Welcome to be a member of our Ministry of Magic Staff Mutual Aid Union." Umbridge smiled and continued: "Of course, it's just a preparatory member. After all, you haven't entered the Ministry of Magic yet, and you haven't even graduated yet, but I believe that these are all easy things for you."

"..."

"Specific things, of course, we will find a chance to talk about it after you join the Ministry of Magic. I just want to inform you that you have passed our review. What you need to do now is to get some NEWTS excellence including Defense Against the Dark Arts, Muggle Studies, Charms, Transfiguration and History of Magic." Umbridge continued "Before that, you have to pass OWLS first. As far as I know, other subjects are easy for you, but History of Magic..."

"..."

"There are still a few months before OWLS, there is still enough time. Show your strength as the champion of the Triwizard Cup to prove that you deserve it!" Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai who was speechless after talking to her, and smiled, "Of course, if you are really unsure, we can also help you. After all, the people who set the questions for these compulsory courses of the Ministry of Magic in OWLS this year are all our own people."

"..."

"Okay, you can go. Consider my suggestion. If you are willing, come to my office next Tuesday night."

Umbridge pointed to the far end of the platform.

"...Goodbye, Professor."

...

"Yunkai!! What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"

"...What's wrong, Blaise?"

Lu Yunkai put a smile on his face again and looked at the roommate next to him.

"You're really acting weird today." Blaise muttered, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In his eyes, Lu Yunkai's weird behavior was normal, and he had seen it all the time: "I'm telling you, last night I Mom complained to me, saying that I didn’t expect that you didn’t even see her during the Christmas holiday.”

"...You didn't tell me before the holiday that your mother was in a hot relationship recently and asked me not to disturb her..."

"What is falling in love! That's called fooling around!" Blaise corrected Lu Yunkai's statement: "Then you should contact her at least! She suspected that I said something bad about her in front of you last night..."

"She really guessed it right." Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

"Pfft..."

Daphne next to her couldn't help laughing.

"...Then you can't let her know!! Do you think I'm your buddy?"

"Just tell her that I was arrested by a mysterious person during the Christmas vacation. He forced me to hand over control of the communication mirror and wanted to monitor the communication mirror. Then I refused. In order to avoid suspicion, I did not contact her." Lu Yunkai I casually made up a reason.

"...Your excuse is too outrageous, isn't it?"

"This is true!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, and then glanced at Malfoy, who was obviously eavesdropping even though he was not looking here. "Thanks to the help of some people, I managed to escape, but Just talk to your mother about this kind of thing, don’t go out and talk about it.”

"No one will believe me even if I tell you. Why did the mysterious man arrest you?" Gao Er, who was sitting opposite Lu Yunkai, laughed.

"The more outrageous the lie, the more likely someone will believe it. Because no one will believe that you can make up such an outrageous lie." Lu Yunkai said seriously to Gao Er, "So, don't mess with some things. Guess, because you don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

This was meant for Malfoy, and of course Goyle couldn't understand it. He could only smile and shake his head speechlessly, and stopped answering.

However, from the corner of Lu Yun's eyes, he saw Malfoy finally raising his head and glancing in his direction.

Did he hear it?

Um……

Okay, this young master’s matter can only be dealt with here.

Next, it has to be Umbridge’s side first!

What does that woman mean all of a sudden? ?

…

It was Tuesday night in a blink of an eye.

Next to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Umbridge's office.

The pink decoration, which made Lu Yunkai extremely uncomfortable, was accompanied by various small floral flowers and lace.

But he tried to endure it.

Opposite him, Umbridge was sitting on a chair, holding a delicate black tea cup in her hand, smiling.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Do I have the right to refuse?"

Lu Yunkai's tone was very calm.

But the anger inside is not small.

"I'm not forcing you. I haven't interfered with you in the past few days since school started..."

"Then you ran up and down the divination class today...ahem, what are you going to do?"

"Trelawney has a good relationship with you?" Umbridge was stunned when Lu Yunkai said this.

"……she is my friend."

"friend??"

"...You went to trouble her, not to target me?" Seeing Umbridge's unexpected reaction, Lu Yunkai was also stunned.

"That's not true." Umbridge stopped smiling and shook her head, "I just want to put a few more people from the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts. The best place to start is divination. Especially. Lilawni's reputation among students is the worst in Hogwarts."

"..."

"You want to protect her?" Seeing Lu Yunkai's silence, Umbridge understood what he meant.

"Don't touch her, she is much more important than you think." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Other than You-Know-Who, who else would have an idea for her?!" Umbridge smiled, "And she doesn't remember the prophecy. Even if You-Know-Who captures her, it will be of no use."

"..."

"What, do you think I know a lot more than you think?" Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai's shocked expression again and smiled, "Do you think I should show off in front of my own people?" You don’t believe that the mysterious man is still alive? Who am I lying to!”

"...I just didn't expect you to say such things so easily."

"What would you think if I told you that the person who helped you erase your overseas records was also one of us?"

"I guessed this." Lu Yunkai put away his shocked expression, "So, you are taking orders from a mysterious person?"

"Take orders from him? Why should you take orders from him?"

"..."

"Yes, he is indeed a very powerful wizard, with power that ordinary wizards cannot match, but after all, he is only one person." Umbridge smiled, "Even if there are only pure bloods left in this world, he is not alone. He can manage it, right? He needs people to help him manage the wizarding world, people who don't just know how to use magic, but who understand the rules of the wizarding world, people like us."

"...So, whether it's Dumbledore's decision or the mysterious man's decision, you can use it." Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and understood instantly.

"Of course!" Umbridge smiled and nodded, "The Ministry of Magic will always exist, and we will always exist."

"It's really despicable." Lu Yun laughed.

"Despicable?" Umbridge laughed, moved the black teacup in her hand to her mouth, and took a sip, "The way you talk doesn't look like Slytherin at all."

"Are all Slytherins in your organization?"

"Of course not! We have Gryffindors, but also Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. After all, if Dumbledore really becomes Minister of Magic, we also need some Gryffindors to occupy important positions, don't we? And they will also hide under our protection when the mysterious man is in power."

"That's reasonable." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Since you are here today, you should be willing to join." Umbridge nodded, "As a gift, I will stop the investigation of Trelawney and let her continue to eat and die in Hogwarts. ”

"...What do I need to do in return?"

"You?" Umbridge laughed again, "What can you do now? You haven't even entered the Ministry of Magic yet!!"

"...Then you're not afraid that I'll take advantage of you and not admit it?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously, "And you said I would join, so you joined? Don't you have any contract magic or something like that?" "

"Contract magic? Do you need it?" Umbridge put away her smile and looked at Lu Yunkai playfully, "The fact that you appear here today proves that you are not the kind of person who is upright. Once such a person has tasted The delicious taste of power is addictive. And this..."

Having said this, Umbridge took another sip of the black tea in her hand.

"...It's a contract stronger than magic!"
