Hogwarts Kryptonian

Although Kris was very unhappy with Lu Yunkai forcing her to drink more water and pee frequently, she was still very cooperative. After all, compared to Lu Yunkai, Chris is the one who hates Voldemort deeply.

Besides, if Lu Yunkai could dispose of the Horcrux that Voldemort had worked so hard to make with just a few more boos, he would also be very happy...

Unfortunately, he is not Chris.

Of course, even if Chris doesn't cooperate, she can't stop Lu Yunkai from solving the Horcrux: anyway, it's just a matter of buying some basilisk venom from the system. Dumbledore had trouble finding basilisk venom, and he didn't have any problems.

The reason why he insisted on Chris giving it a try was because he was curious about whether what Dumbledore said was true.

Anyway, according to Dumbledore, Chrissy's urine is originally colorless and odorless. A cleaning spell should be able to clean it up, and it should be easier to clean up than snake venom.

Facts have proved that Dumbledore is Dumbledore after all, and his knowledge is indeed profound.

When a week passed quickly, Chris asked Lu Yunkai to take the crown away from her room with a look of disgust on her face. Lu Yunkai was very convinced that the fragment of Voldemort's soul attached to it was gone.

Because after systematic appraisal, this crown, which had been severely "depreciated" before, was soaked in Chrissy's urine for several days and could actually be put into the space bag.

Even the selling price in the system has doubled.

Lu Yunkai was very pleased.

I also feel a little sorry for Voldemort: to be so despised by the system... pitiful.

And the summer vacation slowly entered a routine of doing nothing.

Soon, the whole of July was over.

In the last days of July, the owls from Hogwarts arrive.

Brought essential materials and new book lists for next year's admission, as well.

OWLS results.

…

"how is it going??"

"……Okay?"

"I asked you how many O's you got!"

Daphne looked expectant in the mirror.

And Lu Yunkai's expression looked good.

Of course it’s good…

"Ten."

"Huh?? Which one didn't you get?"

"...Divination."

"That's it..."

Daphne sighed softly.

"...Why, do you still feel regretful??" Seeing Daphne's reaction, Lu Yunkai was a little surprised.

What's there to regret about this? Except for arithmetic and divination, which Lu Yunkai had never attended and had the mentality of "going to take a test and have fun", the remaining 11 subjects except divination all got O. What else could he do? ?

People can't help but be so dissatisfied, okay?

"It would be great if you got all O's! Then you would definitely beat Hermione."

"...I really don't have any talent for divination, I have to admit it!"

"Oh, forget it, what a pity."

"By the way, you..."

"Ah! It's getting late, I'm going to bed, good night!!"

Daphne immediately cut off the communication.

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Daphne looked like this because she was obviously afraid that Lu Yunkai would ask her about her grades!

It doesn't seem particularly ideal...but it shouldn't be too bad, right? After all, I have been preparing seriously for a whole year with myself.

But the question... Lu Yunkai really didn't intend to ask her this. He wanted to ask Daphne if she could use him to help her and Astoria buy everything they needed for the new school year.

Anyway, he planned to go to Diagon Alley today.

During the period after the Horcrux was disposed of, Lu Yunkai basically never left home for safety reasons, and he didn't think Balon would let Daphne return to England too early. It would probably be like Christmas. Stomping home the night before going back to school.

In this case, it is better to do it all at once.

Daphne would definitely not answer the video call, so Lu Yunkai could only contact Astoria.

The little girl had a lot of fun in Southeast Asia recently, but after the communication was connected, Lu Yunkai discovered that Astoria didn't seem to be in a good mood today.

Hearing that Lu Yunkai was willing to help her buy things, she sent the list of items to Lu Yunkai without saying a word, and then cut off the communication.

Well, after seeing Astoria's appearance, Lu Yunkai was very sure that Daphne's OWLS results should be very good...

Humming a song, holding the OWLS results notice that had just arrived home and a list of belongings for the new school year, Lu Yunkai walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs. He put a handful of Floo powder in the fireplace and arrived at the Leaky Cauldron.

There are many people.

A few weeks have passed since Lu Yunkai and the Weasley brothers came here to discuss business, and the depressed Leaky Cauldron seems to have regained some of its popularity.

Drinking wine, talking and laughing loudly, these background sounds belonging to the Leaky Cauldron made Lu Yunkai feel a lot more at ease.

Tom was still sitting behind the bar. He saw Lu Yunkai coming out of the fireplace and waved slightly as a greeting.

Lu Yunkai nodded to his old friend and walked directly into Diagon Alley through the back door.

When the stone wall opened and the arch appeared, Lu Yunkai was slightly stunned.

What happened to the lively Diagon Alley?

Most of the store doors were closed. There were quite a few people walking around in the alley, but they were all in a hurry, completely losing the leisurely atmosphere that once belonged to Diagon Alley.

Isn't the Leaky Cauldron fully restored? Why does Diagon Alley seem to be worse?

With this doubt, Lu Yun opened the parchment at hand and started purchasing items.

For Lu Yunkai, who has been purchasing here for the sixth time, buying everything on the list is an easy task. However, Lu Yunkai's purchasing trip today went very slowly.

Every store Lu Yunkai walked into, he chatted a few more words.

None of these old friends in Diagon Alley complained about anything. They all just said lightly, "This is normal."

They all seemed perfectly fine with the situation.

Or, have they experienced it?

Several elderly shop owners have put transfer signs outside their shops, and in their chats with Lu Yunkai, they all expressed a feeling of "it's almost enough".

Okay, this is the magical world.

Okay, this is the Ministry of Magic.

That’s it…

that's all.

This made Lu Yunkai's heart become more and more panicked.

Until I saw a store...

Weasley Joke Shop.

No need to ask, Lu Yunkai also knew who the owner of this store, which looked brand new from the outside, was.

The roar of people coming from the store made Lu Yunkai's heavy mood somewhat improve.

Open the store door.

"Welcome to the Weasley Joke Shop!!"

George's (or was it Fred's?) voice sounded at the same time as the bell rang as the door opened.

The chatter and laughter of the young wizard apprentices in the noisy shop instantly filled Lu Yunkai's ears.

"Hey! Lu Yunkai!! Are you here??" One of the Weasley twins, who should be Fred, came up to him with a smile.

"...You guys acted fast enough!" Lu Yunkai sighed as he looked at the store, which was decorated and magically processed to be about the same size as his own lobby, filled with all kinds of joke toys.

"Of course! The borrowed money has interest!" Fred smiled, "And it must be opened before the students come to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for the new school year!"

"Yeah." Lu Yun smiled and nodded.

Indeed, these students who are still in Hogwarts or other magic schools are the main customers of this kind of joke shop.

If these customers cannot form a good impression of their products at this time, they may not be able to operate this year...

"By the way, boss, can I discuss something with you?" Fred smiled and pointed his wand at one of them, which was triggered by some curious little guest. Then it flew around in the air, making sharp noises. The Sky Monkey, who was shouting and making colorful fireworks, made it disappear and said to Lu Yunkai: "We want to make an advertisement on the communication mirror. Can it be cheaper for us?"

"...There is a standard price. If it's cheap for you, I have to advance the money." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "Fifty thousand gold galleons a week, no two prices."

"This is too expensive!" Fred sighed softly.

"Because you are my friend, you don't have to wait in line." Lu Yun continued with a smile, "Otherwise, the advertisements for Communication Mirror would have been scheduled until Christmas."

"Forget it!" Fred smiled and shook his head, giving up. "We definitely can't afford advertising."

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary." Lu Yunkai shook his head and looked around, "The joke shop doesn't have to deal with all wizards. The main target group is students! When you are idle and bored in school, there are always people. I will promote it for you for free.”

"Well, that's all I can think of." Fred nodded, "Then...you look around? I still have to work."

"Go ahead!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and patted Fred on the shoulder, and he started shopping among the wizard apprentices in this not-so-small store.

There are acquaintances everywhere!

Everyone was smiling while shopping for their favorite toys in the store, such as truant candies with various effects (which can make you coma, have a fever, nosebleeds, and vomit), and retractable ears that allow you to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Fireworks with flashy effects, even fake wands...

Standing in front of the counter, Lu Yunkai looked at a fake wand that was said to turn the caster into a strange costume when used to perform magic. Lu Yunkai's mood was a bit complicated.

It's already desolate outside, but it's still lively here.

In the final analysis, the life of a student or child is happy and simple!

Just like this wand, when Lu Yunkai passed by Ollivander's wand store just now, he found that the wand store, which was said to have been open for decades, was not only locked, but there was no one in the store, and there wasn't even a sign on the door that the owner was out. Messages like how to contact someone alive.

Just now, when Lu Yunkai was buying books at the Flourish and Blott Bookstore next to him, he asked by the way that the wand shop had been closed for a long time, and no one even knew where Ollivander had gone...

"Why, have you fallen in love with our fake wands?"

Just when Lu Yunkai's thoughts went to an unknown place, George's voice sounded behind Lu Yunkai.

"It's quite interesting." Lu Yunkai put down the toy in his hand with a smile and looked at George with a smile.

"If you like it, buy it! You're not short of money!" George continued with a smile.

"Yes." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.

In fact, he doesn't like this kind of little toy very much, but...just support the Weasley brothers.

After seeing Lu Yunkai pick up a fake wand, George began to introduce various things in their store to Lu Yunkai with a smile.

It sounds like a report to a creditor, but in fact, I hope Lu Yunkai can buy more things...

However, Lu Yunkai has no interest in most of these little things.

In the end, I only bought three fireworks and a fake wand. As for the truant candy that George worked so hard to sell, he didn't take any of it.

"I really don't skip classes. I really don't need it." Lu Yunkai smiled and said apologetically to George, who was full of regrets and tried to make a last effort when checking out.

On the other hand, he handed over a few gold galleons.

Just when George was giving Lu Yunkai change, suddenly there was a loud noise on the street outside the door.

With a bang, Lu Yunkai felt the ground he was standing on shaking.

The noisy store suddenly became quiet.

Then, there was a burst of screaming and panic.

"Everyone, be quiet!! Don't worry! Our store is absolutely safe!!"

George and Fred seemed to have been prepared for this kind of accident, and they almost shouted out in unison.

The sound, amplified by the curse, echoed throughout the store, making people's ears numb.

However, it also played a role in stabilizing a group of underage wizard apprentices in the store.

The commotion in the store quickly subsided.

However, although the commotion in the store subsided, chaos broke out in the streets of Diagon Alley outside.

The sound of disembodiment echoed throughout the street.

People wearing Auror cloaks appeared one after another, holding wands in their hands and nervousness written on their faces.

"What happened?" Lu Yunkai muttered curiously as he looked at the anxious and panicked figures of the Aurors outside the door.

"Who knows? Maybe the Ministry of Magic was attacked and the Minister of Magic died?" George smiled and joked.

"...It's better not to make such a joke."

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, taking the change from his hand.

"Don't go out yet, wait a while." George stopped Lu Yunkai who was about to leave, "If I'm being interrogated by them, it's better to sit in the store for a while."

"...That's fine."

Lu Yunkai glanced at the Aurors who were holding their wands at every pedestrian passing by, and nodded.

And the store door was suddenly pushed open.

A tall black wizard walked into the store.

"Kingsley?" George looked familiar with the Auror who walked in.

In fact, Lu Yunkai also knew him.

"Hmm...there's nothing in your store, right?"

"It's not bad. The protective magic that I asked you and Moody to help set up before is quite useful." George smiled and nodded, then looked at the room of people who were quiet in the store, but whose faces were clearly filled with fear. Wizard Apprentice, "Don't worry, we will protect everyone."

"Yeah." Kingsley nodded, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yunkai, who was about to go out.

He was slightly startled.

Then he glanced at the fireworks and fake wand held by Lu Yunkai.

"What happened outside?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously.

"...an attack occurred." Kingsley also knew that Lu Yunkai was a "non-staff member" of the Order of the Phoenix, so he lowered his voice and said, "...the minister was just attacked on the street outside."

"ah??"

Lu Yunkai glanced at George with a shocked expression.

George was also stunned.

I failed the prophecy class! how come……
