Hogwarts Kryptonian

Although he rejected Hermione's proposal to help the Muggle-born students find a solution, Lu Yunkai did not take it lightly when it came to the underhanded trick of the Carlo brothers and sisters against Muggle-born students.

In fact, all the professors at Hogwarts, except those two brothers and sisters, showed great disgust towards this behavior.

Even Slughorn, the dean of Slytherin House, who always valued blood and birth as his main characteristic, expressed opposition to this.

The way he does it is even direct.

"You are the Miss Granger that Yun Kai mentioned to me before! In his mouth, you are the smartest and most outstanding person in your grade! I hope you can come to a small party I have prepared on the weekend. No. Did you know you were interested?"

Um.

In the first Potions class of the sixth grade (the class after Lu Yunkai and Hermione discussed whether to send Muggle-born wizards to the Room of Requirement to hide), Slughorn spoke in front of all the sixth graders. Students who took the NEWTS Potions course invited Hermione to the weekend Slug Club gathering.

And the smartest and most outstanding sentence he said in public quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.

The whole thing made many people very excited, of course, not including the Carlo brothers and sisters who were busy collecting student information.

Then they found a fault and accused Hermione:

As the prefect of Gryffindor, Hermione failed to manage the Gryffindor students, causing a student named Harry Potter to miss nearly a week of classes without any reason...

Well, although it is a bit unreasonable and absurd, people familiar with the matter, including Lu Yunkai, have stated that Hermione does not seem to be unjust in taking the blame...

Of course, the two tried to use this as an excuse to remove Hermione from her prefect status, but were stopped.

Lu Yunkai established a school rule: only the deans of each college have the right to appoint prefects, and only the principal has the right to appoint the student president.

In fact, this was originally an unwritten rule of Hogwarts: no professor has ever wanted to interfere in the management of each college, and the prefects of each college have always been appointed by the dean on the basis of merit.

But Lu Yunkai jumped out and told the Carlo brothers and sisters clearly: If you have the ability to go to Snape to appoint you as the head of Gryffindor, otherwise, you will not be able to say who the prefect of Gryffindor is.

This was finally the end of their second round of confrontation.

But this round, the Carlo brothers still won.

Lu Yunkai was successfully hung with a Sword of Damocles on his head.

And in the blink of an eye, it was Saturday evening, and Lu Yunkai, wearing a formal dress, came to the Potions classroom.

The first meeting of the Slug Club.

…

"Let's go say hello to my adoptive father."

"...Can you not go?"

"The day will come. How can you keep hiding?" Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne, who was wearing a beautiful evening dress but with worry written on her face, and smiled helplessly.

There were not many people in the newly decorated classroom. Because it was the first gathering of the reopened Slug Club, Slughorn did not invite too many people. There are even some people at the prefect level who are not on the invitation list.

For example, Ron Weasley, the male prefect of Gryffindor, and even Pansy Parkinson, the female prefect of Slytherin.

However, Daphne was still semi-forced by Lu Yunkai.

"It's a day to hide..." Daphne muttered, squeezing her head on Lu Yunkai's arm.

Lu Yunkai could only smile helplessly.

Daphne didn't know how she found out that Lu Yunkai had secretly summoned the Demon God behind her back during the summer vacation. After she came back from Southeast Asia, she only saw Lu Yunkai once and ignored him angrily.

Everyone else (including Astoria) felt that Daphne was completely overreacting to this matter. Even Pansy and Millicent had said something about Daphne because of this matter, but Lu Yunkai never said anything more. .

Not even an apology.

Because he understood that the reason why Daphne had such a big reaction to summoning the Demon God during the summer vacation, besides being worried about his health, was that she knew that Slughorn had arrived at Hogwarts.

She was really unsure whether the curse issue that she had been worried about would become the final obstacle to the relationship between her and Lu Yunkai.

Daphne was not so much angry because Lu Yunkai didn't listen to her, but rather felt inferior because of the curse... How could Lu Yunkai persuade her? The more she tried to persuade her, the worse she felt.

Even after returning to Hogwarts, although she met Slughorn several times in the auditorium, Daphne has always avoided Lu Yunkai's adoptive father. In order to avoid him, Daphne even got an O in Potions from OWLS. I don't even plan on taking Potions this school year.

But as the old saying goes in the East, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. Lu Yunkai was going to pierce the last layer of window paper today, so even though Daphne used the ultimate trick of "I have my period today and my stomach hurts and I don't want to go" in the afternoon, Lu Yunkai still forced her to come.

And it really wasn't as bad as she thought.

"Are you Daphne? Well, what a beautiful lady! Lu Yunkai, that brat, is quite lucky." Slughorn looked at Daphne who was dragged to him by Lu Yunkai, smiled and nodded, "You The Potions OWLS is obviously O, why don’t you prepare for NEWTS? Remember to come to class next week! And... Yun Kai!”

"……ah!"

"There are a lot of people today, and I can't take care of them. Can you help me take care of them? Just let Daphne help me. I'm old, and sometimes I still need personal help."

"……yes!"

With just a few words, Lu Yunkai, who was quite worried about Daphne, was sent away under Daphne's grimace and babous eyes.

After that, although Lu Yunkai was chatting with the people attending the party, his attention was almost always on Daphne.

It didn't take long for this worry to turn into admiration.

Slughorn didn't show too much concern for Daphne (like he did in front of Lu Yunkai), nor did he show indifference.

Gentle and kind.

When chatting with every student attending the party, he would take care of Daphne intentionally or unintentionally.

As for that position, generally speaking, it would be held by Lu Yun. Daphne's appearance in this place actually means that he never regarded his prospective daughter-in-law as an outsider from the beginning...

This made Daphne, who was worried about being picked on by Slughorn (especially about the family curse), let out a long sigh.

And Slughorn's handling of Daphne was only a small part of what Lu Yunkai admired. What really made Lu Yunkai feel admirable for Slughorn was seeing how he smiled while chatting with Hermione. Performance.

That's textbook level.

As a Muggle-born Gryffindor, Hermione was actually a little surprised to be invited by Dean Slytherin to attend, so she was somewhat uneasy when she went to greet Slughorn. .

But Slughorn calmed Hermione's uneasiness very well with just two or three sentences, and even chatted for a few words about the house-elf rights association that Hermione alone advocated that few people cared about. He praised Hermione repeatedly for being an upright and kind-hearted person.

Of course, Lu Yunkai understood that what Slughorn had to say was definitely not just a compliment to Hermione, because he heard from his adoptive father something like, "The Ministry of Magic should indeed consider the status of house elves, but "No one is taking the lead", considering that Slughorn had previously persuaded Lu Yunkai to stay away from the Ministry of Magic...

Lu Yunkai believed that if she attended such gatherings three or five more times, Hermione, who originally had no favorable impression of the Ministry of Magic because of Umbridge, might become the Minister of Magic as her goal in life.

But from beginning to end, Lu Yunkai never even said a word like "You are suitable to work in the Ministry of Magic" from Slughorn's mouth.

This kind of "moisturizing things silently" influence finally made Lu Yunkai understand why Slughorn was obviously not a particularly good potions professor compared to Snape (Lu Yunkai, who had already taken a NEWTS potions class, could To be honest, compared to Snape, his adoptive father really didn't know much about potions.) However, so many students respected him so much and even regarded him as a life mentor.

He seems to have an ability that makes people want to believe in him, and he seems to be very good at using this ability.

So, when she returned to the lounge after a night of partying, Daphne, who was still trembling with fear, began to praise her quasi-father-in-law in front of everyone.

Even Blaise, who went to the party together, couldn't stand listening to all those kind words.

However, considering Lu Yunkai's reputation, he did not come out to say anything to Daphne. Instead, Daphne's best friend Pansy, who was not invited, jumped out and satirized Daphne.

In fact, Pansy's original opinion on the fact that she was not invited to the party was not too big. After all, she knew that although she was the prefect of Slytherin, when it came to OWLS results, she was the best student in this class. They are all at the bottom, not to mention not as good as Daphne, even Millicent is much better than her.

But what she couldn't tolerate was that even Malfoy was not invited.

She had a tantrum with Malfoy that day. She originally thought that Malfoy would comfort her as usual with Lu Yunkai's persuasion, and then the two of them would reconcile as before. However, she never expected that this time Lu Yunkai didn't know what happened. No persuasion, no persuasion. When she lost her temper, Malfoy simply ignored her.

Pansy persisted for three days before panicking.

After that, he actively tried to repair the relationship with Malfoy, but Malfoy showed off his indifferent attitude.

This made Pansy even more worried about the relationship between her boyfriend and herself.

Now there was an opportunity to express her loyalty to Malfoy with confidence, and she certainly wouldn't give it up.

When Lu Yunkai, Daphne, and Blaise, who were also invited, returned from the Slug Club, Pansy cynicized at Daphne for a while.

"It's great to follow Lu Yunkai! We can go to such occasions."

"Did he introduce you to everyone as his daughter-in-law? Mrs. Lu? By the way, isn't your first child's surname planned to be Greengrass? Has Professor Slughorn agreed?"

"I heard that Slughorn hired several people to help serve as waiters, Gryffindor Longbottom and so on... did you help carry the plates? Oh! Helped carry the wine glasses! I said so! "

All kinds of trouble-finding.

So much so that Daphne, who knew she was in a bad mood and had no intention of arguing with her, ended up getting so angry at her words that she simply pulled Millicent back to the room.

But when she complained to Malfoy, who returned to the lounge very late (even later than Lu Yunkai and the others who went to the party) with a bit of a credit-taking mentality, she got a sentence from Malfoy Comments.

"You have so many things going on."

This made Lu Yunkai, who was watching the whole process silently, and who originally thought about saying something to Pansy to vent his anger on his girlfriend, was no longer angry at all because Pansy had just picked on Daphne.

Don't you know that your boyfriend...well, your ex-boyfriend's hair is almost falling out because he is worried about how to repair that broken cabinet recently?

Well, I definitely don’t know.

Of course, they would not have known that it was Lu Yunkai who suggested to Slughorn not to invite Malfoy because Malfoy had some "inconvenient tasks to talk about", so Slughorn did not invite the only son of the Malfoy family. Bar!

Nor did he know that Malfoy was extremely grateful after learning about this from Lu Yunkai and getting some guidance from Lu Yunkai on magic circle training...

Therefore, couples must communicate! As for communication, it doesn’t just require you to have a communication mirror in your hand.

Looking at Pansy who was stunned by Malfoy's words and then ran away crying, he really felt that this girl who was always mean and cunning in front of others, but was gentle and considerate to Malfoy alone, was so pitiful...

If her father hadn't told Voldemort about Mrs. Malfoy's bracelet before, to be honest, Lu Yunkai would have wanted to help her again.

But now...

How should I put it? It’s fate but not fate!

So...just say a few words! Anyway, I guess Daphne will be very happy tonight and won't argue with her.
