Hogwarts Kryptonian

"It has nothing to do with Severus." Seeing Lu Yunkai's shocked look, Dumbledore shook his head, "I was reckless."

"..."

"A few days ago, I discovered a cave hidden by Voldemort, and then I went to explore it... taking Harry with me."

"...You..." Lu Yun opened his mouth, but no words came out.

What does Dumbledore mean? Take Harry to find the Horcrux? ?

"It takes two people to enter that cave." Dumbledore explained, "There is a restriction set by Voldemort. If two people go in, only one can come out."

"...You want to sacrifice Harry???"

"How is that possible!" Dumbledore sighed softly, "I was thinking that Harry would take out the things Voldemort had hidden inside first, and then I would find a way to break Voldemort's magic, but...well, Tom The magic is indeed very powerful. When I cracked the magic, I encountered a lot of resistance. In the end, although I relied on Harry's quick wit and Fox's help to escape from the cave, I also used too much power. A lot of magic turned into this.”

"...Then what are you going to do now?"

"I don't have much choice now." Dumbledore said with a gentle smile on his face, "Either I choose death, or... I can only ask you to help me lift the curse."

"...Have you thought about it?"

"It's not time for me to die yet." Dumbledore shook his head and sighed softly, "At least I can't die so worthlessly. I still have some things that should be done."

"Then have you found someone you are willing to believe? Someone who can help you perform the ritual." Lu Yunkai continued to ask.

"It's up to you."

"...can you trust me?"

"Of course." Dumbledore smiled, "So, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's not troublesome...is it here?"

"Can you do it now??" Dumbledore said to Lu Yun simply, a little stunned.

"In your current situation, even if the curse is lifted, you will have to recover for a while, right?" Lu Yunkai looked at Dumbledore's completely withered arm with a solemn expression, "It's better to solve it as soon as possible."

"...Okay." Dumbledore nodded and said simply: "What do you need from me?"

"Just stand there and don't move... Well, but I have to get some sacrifices first, please wait a moment."

As Lu Yunkai spoke, he waved his hand, unlocked the secrecy spell on the door, and opened the door.

A figure flashed and almost staggered in front of Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

"...Harry??"

"...Hello, Yunkai." Harry got up from the ground a little embarrassed and glanced at Lu Yunkai and Dumbledore.

"You..." Lu Yunkai looked ridiculous, somewhat dumbfounded.

Is this kid lying here listening to the corner?

You are a wizard after all! Isn't it shameful to just lean on the door and listen? ?

"Lu Yunkai, you go and prepare first. I'll just come and talk to Harry." Dumbledore motioned to Lu Yunkai to leave first.

Lu Yunkai sighed helplessly, nodded, walked out of the house, and then apparated back to his home.

After finding Xue Li and preparing the same three creatures as last time, Lu Yunkai came to No. 12 Grimmauld Place again.

Entering the house, this time, Lu Ping did not stop Lu Yunkai.

But when he saw Lu Yunkai with a chicken in his left hand and a rabbit and a fish in his right hand, his expression was really strange.

In the restaurant, Harry had been "driven away" by Dumbledore. Only Dumbledore was still sitting there. As Lu Yunkai returned, he stood up again naturally. Of course, he did not forget to close the door again. , added a confidentiality spell.

Lu Yunkai didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, he put all the tables and chairs in the restaurant into the space bag, leaving the hall empty. Then he took out his wand and wrote ancient magic script on the ground.

Dumbledore squinted as Lu Yunkai's wand drew symbols around his body, and then took out the seven-color crystal and placed it next to him.

A circle is closed and the magic circle is activated. Just like he had helped Nagini lift the blood curse before, when Lu Yunkai pointed his wand at the magic circle, seven-colored light gathered on his wand, and then hit Dumbledore's body.

There was a flash of white light.

"...Your magic circle is indeed effective."

Dumbledore's voice sounded.

And when Lu Yunkai, who had finally recovered his vision after being dazzled by the white light, looked at Dumbledore, his arm that had dried up due to the curse had basically returned to its original shape.

But Dumbledore himself looked paler.

Lu Yunkai didn't say much, and quickly rearranged the tables and chairs that had just been put away, took a chair, and helped Dumbledore sit down.

No words were spoken.

The restaurant remained quiet.

"...Why didn't you speak?" Dumbledore looked at Lu Yunkai who remained silent and asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention to what I say, I might end up giving you an order." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"...It doesn't matter." Dumbledore laughed, "Did you get this magic circle...from the Demon God?"

"Yes. To help Daphne lift the curse." Lu Yunkai knew that Dumbledore was intentionally chatting with him.

As for the reason...

On the one hand, it's because the relationship between the two is a little weird now, and Lu Yunkai really doesn't know how to deal with it. On the other hand, Dumbledore was obviously too weak to stand up now. He didn't want others to see his current state, so he just stalled for time by chatting with Lu Yunkai.

"Then Miss Greengrass' curse has not been lifted yet...are you trying to find other ways?"

"Yes." Lu Yunkai nodded.

But I didn’t go into details.

Dumbledore obviously understood that Lu Yunkai did not intend to reveal his alternative plan, so he did not ask further questions.

"...Well, before you leave later, go talk to Harry."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Will he go back to Hogwarts this year?"

"Of course! Why do you think..."

"You are not the Headmaster of Hogwarts now, are you? He is at Hogwarts...can Professor McGonagall keep him?"

"The person who will succeed me as the Headmaster of Hogwarts is Severus. The orders from the Ministry of Magic have been issued." Dumbledore smiled.

Quiet.

"It turns out you were prepared for this early in the morning!" Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "But isn't this unfair to Professor Snape?"

"Minerva's temperament is too upright. At this time, Severus can only stand up... But I think even so, Harry will not have an easy time at school next year."

"...If you have something to say, can you just say it!!"

"I plan to arrange for him to find Horcruxes..." Dumbledore's expression was stunned.

Then laughed.

"Sure enough, this magic circle... still has some side effects."

"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, but he soon threw the embarrassment aside, "Why do you want Harry to find the Horcrux? You are not from Hogwarts now. Now that I'm the principal, I can act secretly..."

"Do you think Voldemort will let me look for things easily by myself?" Dumbledore interrupted Lu Yunkai, "I have to distract Voldemort and let him waste his energy on playing hide and seek with me. Harry may have a chance to secretly search for Horcruxes."

Quiet.

"I actually didn't plan to tell you about this, but I didn't expect your magic...well." Dumbledore sighed softly, "Now that you know, I hope you can still keep it a secret from Harry. "

"Why?"

"Searching for Horcruxes is extremely dangerous. If you don't have firm belief and determination, it will be difficult to persevere to the end. And although you and I can destroy some Horcruxes, there are some that only Harry can destroy... …”

"Like himself?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Dumbledore.

Quiet.

"I really don't want to order you to answer me." Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

"How did you guess it?" Dumbledore did not answer the question directly.

But in fact, it is equivalent to an answer.

"Harry can hear Voldemort's thoughts, and can even speak Parseltongue..." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Is it difficult to guess? It seems that Voldemort killed his parents in front of Harry, but was protected by Harry's body After the curse was counterattacked, a piece of soul was accidentally split and fell on Harry, right?"

Of course, in his heart, he was far less calm than he looked.

real? ? Is Harry really Voldemort's Horcrux? ?

OMG……

So what’s next? ? To destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, doesn't that mean killing Harry as well? ?

Aren't you kidding me?

"I already have some arrangements for this matter." Dumbledore shook his head, "I hope you won't force me to say it."

"...I won't force you, so you have to tell me at least if Harry will die, right?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head, "If all my plans come true and there are no surprises."

"...I understand, you just want me not to interfere and cause any accidents!" Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly, "Then the question is, how do you plan to treat another person who may be Voldemort's Horcrux?"

"Another one??" Dumbledore was stunned.

"Nagini." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "I think it's possible that she is too... Of course, it's just a possibility. There's no evidence yet, but... who knows! I think Voldemort trusts her too much. It’s outrageous, and she seems to always be able to guess what Voldemort is thinking.”

After saying that, he shook his head dejectedly.

Quiet.

"Let's do it step by step." Dumbledore said solemnly, "But if there is really no other way..."

"You want to kill Nagini?"

"..."

"I'm going home first." Lu Yunkai stood up, "Harry's side... I won't go meet him. I'm afraid I can't help it."

"In order to kill Voldemort, too many people have sacrificed their lives..."

"They were voluntary, not forced." Lu Yunkai interrupted Dumbledore, "What did Nagini do wrong? A poor blood-cursed orc who lost his humanity and was deceived and controlled by Voldemort until he recovered. Why do you want to do something to make up for the harm you caused?"

Dumbledore was silent.

"Anyway, Harry will probably bravely agree to your arrangement because of his sense of responsibility to Voldemort. As for Nagini...she will also be willing to die because of the crimes she has committed, right?" Lu Yun smiled at Dumbledore. Lido asked, "Okay! For the greater good, right?"

Quiet.

Dumbledore was once very familiar with that catchphrase that belonged to Grindelwald.

For what, what can you give up.

There’s nothing we can’t give up…

At first, Dumbledore gave up some things but could not give up others, so he parted ways with Grindelwald.

Now……

Dumbledore watched Lu Yunkai lift the secrecy spell on the door and open the door.

He didn't open his mouth to stop him, and just watched Lu Yunkai walk out of the Order of the Phoenix headquarters without making a sound.

The sound of the door opening alerted the people upstairs, and Lu Ping ran down.

"Albus, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine now." Dumbledore smiled reluctantly.

His eyes looked towards the place where Lu Yunkai disappeared.

His eyes are no longer so clear.

…

"Meow?? What's the matter with you? Didn't you just go to help Dumbledore lift the curse? Why did you act like the whole world owes you a Daphne when you came back..."

"……shut up!!"

Lu Yunkai glared at Chris fiercely.

Home, reception room.

Sitting in the armchair, Lu Yunkai looked very gloomy.

"Meow, what happened!" Kris asked insistently, not afraid of being yelled at by Lu Yun.

"...I suddenly felt that there is no difference between Dumbledore and the people in the Ministry of Magic." Lu Yunkai sighed longly, "Deceive, use..."

"Meow? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I'm just full."

"Meow??"

"Okay, can you just leave me alone?"

"...Meow, I got it."

Kris was stunned for a while, seemed to have guessed something, lowered her head, and left.
