Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 209 Undercurrent

D.A's first gathering went smoothly.

A group of students from Brother Academy, and even students from all grades, gathered together for a long time to discuss the names, symbols, and even code words of their study group. Until the end of the meeting, no one seriously mentioned the practice of magic spells.

Although Lu Yunkai could understand this, he was a little speechless.

Are you going to build an anti-Umbridge organization, or are you going to learn something? I really can't tell which one is more important...

Therefore, before leaving, Lu Yunkai clearly stated to Harry and Hermione again that he would not come again.

"Although people don't seem to dislike me because I'm the only Slytherin, I still feel weird."

The same thing was said by Lu Yunkai to Harry and Hermione before. At that time, they both felt that maybe no one would use the academy as a criterion for judging.

But after this gathering, even Harry had to admit that most of the people from the three colleges present were still clearly divided.

Lu Yunkai stayed there alone all night, and Harry and Hermione were too embarrassed to tell lies, saying that this study group did not exclude Slytherin.

After Lu Yunkai finally dealt with Harry's "kindness", he returned to his life as a good student almost at the speed of light.

Very well behaved.

He was even better behaved than when he first arrived at Hogwarts in his first year and was unfamiliar with the place.

He listened carefully and took notes in class. After class, he had to do homework and review. He didn’t even touch the potions in the potion fragments that Daphne gave him, let alone read any books in the restricted area or configure monster teaching. His potion was gone.

Every day in the classroom, dormitory, and restaurant, there will be absolutely no trouble.

So much so that Astoria, who had never seen Lu Yunkai look so honest, began to suspect that Lu Yunkai was frightened by Umbridge.

Of course, some people think that Lu Yunkai probably wanted to set an example because he was assigned a prefect...

People who think so include Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and a series of Lu Yunkai’s teachers.

Even Umbridge can't find any problems with Lu Yunkai recently. She should read in class and take notes carefully, and she couldn't find any major problems with the thesis homework she left behind...

She publicly praised Lu Yunkai twice in class.

The former Slytherin Under-Minister of Magic seems to have finally realized her origins after establishing herself at Hogwarts. Instead of indiscriminately fighting whoever you see, you start to have selective double standards.

For example, if Goyle fell asleep in class, she would ignore him, but if Ron dozed off in class, he would be given solitary confinement after class and Gryffindor points would be deducted.

Ever since, in public, students from the other three houses began to say that there was another female Snape in Hogwarts...

And Umbridge's transformation seems to have successfully changed some people's perception of her.

For example, Malfoy, who had been very critical of Lu Yunkai since she arrived, seemed to no longer dislike her so much after receiving several compliments from her in court, and even joined a law enforcement team she formed to uphold school rules.

He even tried to persuade Lu Yunkai to join in...

Of course Lu Yunkai refused.

He's not as straight as Malfoy. He knew the reason why Umbridge had changed like this.

She was forced.

This has to start with Umbridge’s previous investigation of Forgetwort.

That matter came to an end as early as late September.

Let it go.

The brooch that Lucius gave to Lu Yunkai as a Christmas gift last year played a huge role in this matter.

According to what Snape told Lu Yunkai (his tone was full of schadenfreude when he said this), the current president of the Magical Apothecaries Association, a famous German pharmacist, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic, regarding the cultivation of members of the association. He also expressed concern about the investigation into the use of forgetfulness grass to refine potions...

Originally, the Ministry of Magic's ban on amnesia was only valid in England. On the other side of the strait in Europe, this matter was basically a joke. For the Society of Magical Apothecaries, whose members include members across Europe, this behavior is simply "extremely stupid and irresponsible" (the original words of the letter).

The British Ministry of Magic has always laughed when faced with such doubts from Europe, and then continued to go its own way, but not now.

Fudge really doesn't have the confidence.

He knew very well that his current influence and popularity in the Ministry of Magic was brought about by international cooperation. It was not worthwhile to offend the most influential unofficial organization for a pot of grass.

Therefore, Umbridge received a personal notice from Fudge, telling her not to touch the forget grass thing again.

In order to cope with the "international pressure" caused by Lu Yunkai, Fudge, who was a little angry, also put aside his previous secretiveness and went straight to the rightful owner (at least that's what Lu Yunkai thought).

On the first Monday in October, the Ministry of Magic sent someone to the Communication Mirror Shop to investigate whether forbidden magic was involved.

Close the store and suspend operations.

This set of things is not unfamiliar to Mrs. Zabini. She had encountered this before when she was selling magic potion lucky bags, so she didn't panic at all and sent a group message on the communication mirror to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's investigation and suspend the service.

Then, be fully open to investigation.

The Ministry of Magic couldn't do anything to Mrs. Zabini last time about the magic potion bag, so there's nothing to worry about this time.

She didn't even have to go out and actively look for someone.

Everyone who uses magic mirrors knows whether there is black magic in magic mirrors.

After all, there is no wizard who does not first study what is going on when he gets the mirror, and the magic that Lu Yunkai used on the communication mirror is not so profound that it cannot be broken.

The fact that wizards still dare to use it speaks volumes.

The investigation arranged by Fudge had no real intention of assigning a black magic hat to the communication mirror.

He just thought that by scaring him and suspending the service for a period of time, the wizards would feel that this thing was not as useful as they thought. As long as it lasted for a month or two, the wizards would go back to using owls to communicate. .

But he was wrong.

Oh, not entirely wrong. The very next day, the Owl mail line, which had obviously become deserted in the past six months, suddenly became busy. Most of these owls fly to the Ministry of Magic...

complaint.

"What I use myself, I don't know that it doesn't have dark magic? Can your Ministry of Magic still do something serious? Don't disturb our daily life!!"

Fudge's office was filling up with letters like this.

Then he realized that it seemed that it only took a month or two for the wizards to get used to using the mirror worth five hundred gold galleons to communicate, and it had reached the point where they were not used to it anymore... …

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury!

Moreover, the communication mirror has become the communication method of choice for many wizards in just six months, not only because of its convenience and speed, but also because it has better confidentiality, unlike owl communication and in-person Apparition, which are easily controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

As we all know, the average wizard doesn't actually have many secrets worth protecting. People who need this feature...are not easy to mess with.

There are many people here who work in the Ministry of Magic and even hold high positions. There are even one or two among these people who are very interested in the position of Minister of Magic...

So Fudge soon realized that not only could the Ministry of Magic's investigation not progress at all, but even delaying it would cause trouble for himself.

As a result, within three days, the investigation team came to the conclusion that "there is no problem with the communication mirror." The conclusion report even stated that "the communication content is confidential and cannot be cracked, and there is no possibility of black magic intrusion."

According to what Mrs. Zabini told Lu Yunkai, she spent 20,000 gold galleons to have these words appear in the report.

After that, she spent another three thousand to buy an advertising space in the Daily Prophet and publish the full text of the investigation report.

This advertisement is very worthwhile.

On the first day that communication mirrors started to be sold again, Mrs. Zabini excitedly told Lu Yunkai that they had received the first promotion order for communication mirrors...

The famous Nimbus Company has released an advertisement for the latest model of the Nimbus series of brooms to be launched next year through the communication mirror.

In that commercial, Klum was riding the latest model of the Nimbus Broom chasing the Golden Snitch, as fast as a bolt of lightning.

The slogan "Fast and safe, just like a communication mirror" is the best explanation for the current image of communication mirrors in the minds of wizards.

Two consecutive major setbacks caused Fudge to put back his previous arrogance, not to mention Umbridge, who was arrogant and domineering in Hogwarts.

Or at least, she no longer felt like she could do whatever she wanted on her own.

That's why she changed her strategy, uniting some and controlling the majority.

In Lu Yunkai's eyes, this almost clearly told him that Umbridge and the Minister behind her had no intention of giving up control of Hogwarts.

And Lu Yunkai, who was not completely sure whether he had been removed from their "target list" or just wanted to "settlement the accounts", could not take the initiative to cooperate with Umbridge.

Moreover, in terms of personal likes and dislikes, he was really annoyed by that guy who was still covered in pink even though he was old, who tried to pretend to be a girl but had no tenderness and kindness of a girl at all.

Even after experiencing the forget grass and the communication mirror, Lu Yunkai felt that Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor he hated most before, was really handsome now that he thought about it.

But seeing the people around them, from the Malfoy trio to Pansy Millison, they all began to feel that Umbridge might not be so annoying, and even began to think that she might not be so bad... Lu Yunkai really had a taste for it. The disgusting feeling of flies.

Fortunately, Blaise, who also heard about the incident at the Communications Mirror Store from his mother, was not there, otherwise Lu Yunkai would be even more sad.

And seeing Malfoy getting Umbridge's support and starting to show off his power in school every day, Lu Yunkai also understood that he had no way to tell Malfoy that this was just a temporary sign of weakness from Umbridge.

I can only endure it.

Then wait.

Waiting for Chris to make formal arrangements for Azkaban.

only……

That broken cat must have forgotten it, right?

Why is it that it’s been two months and there’s still no movement! ?
