Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Brother-in-law? Where have you been so early?"

"...Why did you get up so early?"

"How dare you say that! You ran away so early last night. I was so bored at the dance alone that I had no choice but to come back early and go to bed."

Astoria glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely.

Then, reach out.

Lu Yunkai very wisely took out the mirror he packed in a wooden box from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.

"Yeah." Astoria was still very satisfied with Lu Yunkai's self-awareness.

Opening the box, I saw a communication mirror wrapped in a red velvet cloth.

Astoria took out the mirror and looked around it, and found that Lu Yunkai had carved a very complex and beautiful pattern on the back.

"What is this pattern?" Astoria asked Lu Yunkai.

"A magic circle that can help you keep time."

"...You are so annoying!!" Astoria glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely.

She is often late because Daphne often nags her about it, so Lu Yunkai also knows about it.

"Of course you don't have to! It's not mandatory." Lu Yun smiled, "I'm just giving you a choice..."

"Don't tell my sister about this!!"

"No! No way!!"

Lu Yunkai raised his hands in surrender.

Astoria rolled her eyes at Lu Yun, then happily returned to the dormitory with the mirror in hand.

Lu Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief, then came to his seat in the lounge, stretched, and then took out the list of banned books that Mrs. Pingsi prepared for him two years ago from the space bag. Searched.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Not yet...are you okay? Why do you look so lethargic?"

Lu Yunkai instinctively closed the book in his hand and put it into the space bag, then raised his head and looked at Daphne in front of him.

Exhaustion was written on her face.

"It's not because you were so tired last night." Daphne glanced at Lu Yunkai resentfully, then sat next to him, "Do you want to go eat?"

"Well, I'm just waiting for you... If you're too tired, can I go to the auditorium and bring you some food?"

"No need." Daphne smiled at Lu Yun, "Have you finished reading your book?"

"There's no rush." ​​Lu Yunkai stood up and then extended his hand to Daphne.

Daphne naturally took Lu Yunkai's hand and stood up.

…

The auditorium on Christmas morning was impossibly clean. There was no trace of a lively and grand banquet held here the night before. However, now it was empty and seemed a little lonely.

Lu Yunkai and Daphne seemed to have booked the whole place, sitting by the window, eating slowly, not talking, looking out the window and across the way.

It was a morning in a blink of an eye.

It was not until almost noon that people started to enter the auditorium one after another, eating and chatting.

As for Lu Yunkai and Daphne sitting next to him, everyone who enters the auditorium will take a second look.

With a slightly envious look.

Of course, there are also people who are not so envious...

"You guys got up early!"

Malfoy sat down next to Lu Yunkai, grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Where's Pansy?" Daphne didn't seem to mind Malfoy's behavior and spoke naturally.

"I don't know, I didn't see her in the lounge just now." Malfoy poured himself a glass of milk, then took out a small velvet box from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Yunkai, "Here."

"...What?" Lu Yunkai took it a bit unexpectedly.

"My dad gave you a Christmas gift." Malfoy said with a nonchalant expression, "It arrived in the morning. He asked me to tell you that this is what I begged him to get for you, but I don't think there is anything between us. It’s necessary to be so outspoken, right?”

"...Yeah." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, then opened the box that looked like a jewelry box.

Daphne, who was sitting across the table, poked her head over curiously.

Inside is a brooch the size of a fingernail, dark and round, with nothing on it.

"...What is this?" Daphne was speechless, "Is your father teasing Yun?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How could Mr. Malfoy just give something away to anyone! This thing must be terrible." Lu Yunkai interrupted his girlfriend's complaints about Lucius and reached out to take out the brooch from the box.

The moment his hand touched the brooch, the dark surface changed a little.

A relief like a medicine bottle appeared on it.

"Yun Kai is still discerning." Malfoy said something sinister to Daphne, which earned her a blank look. "This is the membership badge of the Magical Pharmacists Federation."

"Magic Pharmacist Association?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

Have not heard.

"Never heard of it." Daphne spoke her mind for Lu Yunkai, "What are you doing?"

"An association formed voluntarily by the best potions masters in England and Europe." Malfoy said, "I guess you, an unsophisticated person like you, don't know" his expression. "There should be less than 200 members in it now. Of course, the average person have no idea."

"Such a small-scale..."

"Professor Snape is the holder of the record for the youngest member to join before Yunkai." Malfoy interrupted Daphne, "Of course, in fact, Professor Snape was not originally. There was someone younger than him before him, but That person...many people don’t dare to mention it.”

"..." Daphne could no longer continue her complaints.

There are not many people in the wizarding world that many people dare not mention, and you can guess who they are with just your toes.

Professor Snape and that man are both members of this society...

"It must be difficult to join this association, right? Mr. Malfoy has put in so much effort for me... Thank you so much." Lu Yunkai nodded sincerely.

"Not bad." Seeing Lu Yunkai's expression, Malfoy was very satisfied, "But it's actually not that difficult. My father told me that when the vote passed, the group of members heard that you were Slughorn's adopted son. No One who voted no.”

"this……"

"Your adoptive father was once the president of this association and is now the honorary president." Malfoy smiled.

"...Okay." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, "But I still want to thank Mr. Malfoy."

"It's true that you thanked my mother. She urged my father to get this for you." Malfoy said with a smile, "The ointments you helped her get and gave away made her look particularly good in front of her friends. "

"Next summer I will bring some ointment with me and go to Mrs. Malfoy's door to say thank you."

"Yeah." Malfoy smiled and nodded.

"You guys talk, I'm leaving first."

Daphne next to her suddenly said something.

"...What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just...well, I suddenly felt a little sleepy again." Daphne's expression looked strange.

"...Oops! I didn't see anything special about this badge at first. You don't have to be like this!" Seeing Daphne like this, Malfoy felt a little embarrassed.

He thought Daphne felt embarrassed because she underestimated the things his father gave Lu Yunkai.

In fact, when he saw the letter sent by his father along with the gift this morning, he almost threw the small box away...

Then he directly called the communication mirror and asked his father how he had the nerve to give away such a broken brooch.

"That's not it..." Daphne glanced at Lu Yunkai and stood up.

"Forget it, I've finished eating too." Lu Yunkai also stood up.

"What happened?" Malfoy was confused.

I didn't say anything inappropriate today, right? It's just a gift...

"Maybe I saw the gift Mr. Malfoy gave me..." Lu Yunkai shook the brooch in his hand, "I feel like I owe me a gift or something."

"Did you give Daphne a gift?"

"It's not important..." Lu Yunkai gave Malfoy a look.

Gave it, last night.

A teacup that can automatically keep black tea warm.

Daphne became more and more depressed.

"Daphne, I'm not talking about you. Every year, Lu Yunkai tries his best to prepare gifts for you, but I haven't seen you... What's wrong? I'll just tell you! Just don't tell me!"

Malfoy felt guilty.

He saw Daphne burst into tears.

He wasn't afraid of Daphne, but when he thought that if Pansy found out that he made Daphne cry, she would probably have to nag him, he almost immediately gave up.

"You!!" Lu Yunkai glared at Malfoy, sighed softly, reached out and patted Daphne, "Why are you crying? It's not like I didn't receive the gift, so you don't have to feel so guilty!!"

"...I didn't send it, so what did you receive?" Daphne touched her face and glanced at Lu Yunkai resentfully, "I never thought about this...and my father and mother didn't tell me to send it to you. Order something..."

"Oh! How dare I ask Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass for a gift! Don't make trouble!" Lu Yunkai waved his hands quickly, "They have already given me such a precious gift. I still want it. Isn't it too shameless?"

"What's so precious..." Daphne was halfway through her words when she realized that Lu Yunkai was pointing at her.

"You are the best gift they gave me!" Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne seriously.

"...Then I didn't give you a gift either!" Daphne's face turned red, but her tears stopped flowing.

"Who said that? You have smiled at me a total of twelve times this morning!"

"this……"

Quiet.

Daphne didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the side, Malfoy was holding milk in his hand, looking at Lu Yunkai, with his mouth open, unable to speak for a long time.

A long time.

"Yunkai, look, we are good buddies, right?" Malfoy put down the milk in his hand and looked at Lu Yunkai seriously.

"...You have something to say." Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, who sat down again with a red face, but lowered her head and remained silent before turning to answer Malfoy.

"When will you teach me...how on earth did you make up these words?" Malfoy said seriously: "It's simply amazing."

"...What do you mean by making up!!" Lu Yunkai glared at Malfoy, "These are all sincere words!"

"I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too!"

"Tch, forget it if you don't want to teach me." Malfoy flattened his mouth, picked up the milk glass again, and took a sip.
