Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 269 Another favor

When the entire magical world is in a state of anxiety and dire straits, the melody played by even the best magical instruments will change its key.

Lu Yunkai originally thought that since he was in a shelter like Hogwarts, no wind or rain would hit him on the head.

However, he was wrong.

The next day, Lu Yunkai returned to Hogwarts on the morning of his first Sunday. A visit from a group of people woke him up from the singing and dancing at Slug Club the night before.

This person is an old friend.

“It’s really complicated to visit my old place again!”

A voice that made Lu Yunkai feel sick to his stomach sounded in the principal's office.

Lu Yunkai stood in front of the desk, looking at the old woman in pink behind the desk, feeling very bad.

However, he tried his best to smile.

"You finally sat in this position. Although... you just sat for a while."

"I don't like this position very much, it's boring." Umbridge replied to Lu Yunkai with a melancholy smile, "You can sit down."

As he spoke, he waved the magic wand in his hand, and a stool appeared behind Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai sat down naturally.

They were the only two people in the room.

"Do you know what I'm here for?" Umbridge asked Lu Yunkai.

"I heard you are now registering Muggle-born wizards?"

"Well. Then you should know why I'm looking for you, right?"

"Am I... considered a Muggle?" Lu Yunkai pointed at himself.

"Of course not! You are the son of the Head of Slytherin House and Professor Slughorn." Umbridge shook her head, "You are also the prefect of Slytherin House and the Student Council President of Hogwarts. Even... It is said that you are a descendant of an ancient magic family. How could you be a Muggle?"

"...What do you know?" Lu Yunkai frowned slightly after hearing the description of the descendant of the ancient magic family.

Not many people know about this. Baron can't go around talking nonsense, and Mrs. Zabini has a contract...

"Of course the adult told me." Umbridge smiled, and then sighed softly, "I came to you because of the Mudblood in your family."

"..."

"Eileen Hill. There is news from the Ministry of Magic that this witch who has not registered so far is now hiding in your home in Dover, southern England." Umbridge put away her smile and said seriously, " You need to explain this."

"She used to be an employee of my herbal plantation, and she resigned during the summer vacation." Lu Yunkai said the answer he had prepared long ago.

"real?"

"Of course! He claimed to join the fight against the mysterious man. I thought it was very dangerous, so I didn't keep her." Lu Yunkai nodded half-seriously.

"Why didn't you report her?"

"First of all, she is an adult witch and I am a wizard apprentice. I am no match for her. Secondly... since when did fighting against a mysterious person become a crime that needs to be reported?" Lu Yun asked Umbridge with a smile.

Quiet.

Umbridge sighed softly and waved the wand in her hand.

A thin film enveloped the two of them, separating everything else in the room.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

"You! Although the mysterious man has not officially controlled the entire wizarding world, he has even appointed the principal of Hogwarts. There are even legends that the Minister of Magic has been under his Imperius Curse. What else do you say about resisting the mysterious man? People are not worthy of reporting to the Ministry of Magic... Are you afraid that you will not die quickly enough?" Umbridge smiled, "Let me remind you one last time, no matter whether you really want to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future, if No one is forcing you, don’t say this to express your position.”

"The Minister of Magic is controlled by the Imperius Curse??"

"Who knows! When the mysterious man failed, many people fell under his Imperius Curse, but recently they have come out again. Maybe the Imperius Curse can be triggered at a chosen time?" Umbridge said with a strong tone. Deep disdain and meanness.

Just like she did last year at Hogwarts.

Lu Yunkai had always hated her tone of voice, so he didn't answer her this time.

"My good days won't last long." Umbridge smiled self-deprecatingly and shook a token in her hand, "I also expected you to take care of me after you make some achievements in the Ministry of Magic. But with the way you talk about everything...it seems like you can't count on it!"

"...What do you mean? Aren't you very prosperous recently? How many people are jealous of Muggle-born wizards working in this statistics!"

"I didn't even see them snatching it away! I wish someone would do it for me!" Umbridge snorted and shook her head, "I am making a last ditch effort, and it is very likely that I will lose everything in the end. , I was originally counting on someone like you who might be able to help me in the future... But now it seems that you are really too unreliable. "

"A last ditch effort?" Lu Yunkai did not respond to Umbridge's words to encourage her, but changed the subject.

"Yes! I'm betting that the mysterious man can kill Dumbledore and then rule the British wizarding world." Umbridge nodded, "This way, those Mudbloods won't have any chance of comeback, but if the mysterious man fails, Now...I will definitely be the worst one. When the time comes, none of my allies will help me..."

"Then you're counting on me?"

"You can't count on it, but you can try anyway." Umbridge sighed, "That's why I'm here to sell you a favor."

"...I have never seen anyone talk about selling favors so blatantly." Lu Yun was happy.

"Eileen Hill was seen in Diagon Alley the day before yesterday, delivering a batch of medicinal materials to Giggs. After investigation by the Ministry of Magic, she left and arrived at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley through the fireplace in your home. Floo Network. I'm here to inform you that the Ministry of Magic will issue a search warrant at your home and force you to open your home for inspection. But... we shouldn't be able to check it, right?"

Umbridge finished the story in a tone where you have to figure it out yourself.

Look at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai's expression was calm, but his heart was pounding.

Didn't he already tell Erin not to leave home before Christmas? Why is she sending something to Jiggs Drug Store? ? Now there's trouble.

"...Actually, you can check it out, it's okay." Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth and shook his head, "But I don't know how to open the ban. After all, this house is a second-hand house I bought. I can only use it, not repair it."

"Forget it, you don't have to be harsh." Umbridge looked at Lu Yun's open look and smiled, "Since I came here in person, I have no intention of checking you. I will write a report later to tell you about your summer vacation. You found that the herbs at home were stolen, and you suspected that they were stolen by Eileen Hill, so you expelled her. You don't know where she went. Now you are in Hogwarts. There is no one at home and what happened at home. Not sure."

"……good."

"Tell your little lover, don't go out if you have nothing to do. It's no different than sending yourself to death. At the latest Halloween, and at the earliest the end of September, the operation to close the net against Mudblood wizards will be launched." Umbridge continued, "I I know you should have a few close Muggle-born wizard friends at Hogwarts...such as Granger?"

"How is the Ministry of Magic going to close the net?" Lu Yunkai's brows knitted together.

"Who knows? They should be escorted to Azkaban and locked up, right?"

"Isn't Azkaban destroyed??"

"As expected, you know this." Umbridge said with a smile on her face, "I was curious before that even Dumbledore was not that capable of destroying Azkaban to the ground. He was just an ordinary man. If you have that ability, you won’t lose to the mysterious man.”

"..."

"Azkaban was destroyed, but it can be rebuilt! It just so happens that rebuilding Azkaban also requires some manpower. Aren't these Muggle-born wizards just right?" Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai and looked like he was choking. He looked happy and smiled even more happily.

"……I see, thank you."

Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

Okay, this favor, he made Umbridge feel secure.

"It's not easy to hear you say thank you." Umbridge smiled and waved the wand in her hand, canceling the magic covering the two of them, "Then I'll leave first."

"good."

"Why did you suddenly think of contacting me?"

After coming out of the principal's office, Lu Yunkai went all the way to the eighth floor, walking across the tapestry three times to his old place, a safe room in the Room of Requirement.

He took out the communication mirror in his hand, and Irene's beautiful face soon appeared in it.

There was sweat on her face, and she was obviously working in the herb field.

That sunny smile made Lu Yunkai, who just a moment ago wanted to give her a good lesson, hold back all the angry words that he couldn't say.

"Did you go to Diagon Alley the day before yesterday?"

"Well, the owner of Jiggs Pharmacy asked me to send a batch of herbal medicine...what's wrong?"

"The Ministry of Magic is currently registering Muggle-born wizards. Please don't go out."

"What's the point! Aren't you required to take the initiative to register? If I don't go to the Ministry of Magic, can they come and arrest me? With the enthusiasm of the people at the Ministry of Magic... have they found you??" The smile on Eileen's face disappeared instantly .

Yes, how did Lu Yunkai know that Boss Giggs was looking for her?

"Yes. But I have solved the matter. I said you have been fired by me. I don't know where you went...so, no matter what, don't go out. Never!! Do you understand??"

"...I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Irene's face was solemn.

She realized the seriousness of the problem and lost the relaxation and joy she had just had.

"It's okay, you helped me earn so much money for herbal medicine. This is what I should do." Lu Yun smiled, "Okay, if you have anything to do, contact me at any time. No matter who asks you to leave home, don't do it." When you go out...it's better to say you're not at my house now, understand?"

"That's not the case... What's the big deal? I don't need Floo Network?"

"Do you know who is trustworthy and who is not?" Lu Yunkai put away his smile, "You have never thought about why Boss Giggs, who originally said he would not buy from me, suddenly asked you to send it to me again. Herbal medicine?”

"You mean..." Irene's face turned pale.

"Of course it may not be Giggs himself, it may be his employees or something... But who do you know? This is the mysterious man! Let us not trust each other..."

"Then we can't fall into the mysterious man's trap and have to trust others!!"

"The best way for us not to fall into the mysterious man's trap is to not give each other a chance to test whether the other is reliable!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Whether human nature is reliable or not, it's okay if we don't touch it?"

"...Why are you so timid!" Eileen sighed.

"If you ask any Hogwarts student, no one will agree with your point of view." Lu Yun rolled his eyes at Irene, "In their eyes, I am the bravest person."

"Just brag, you..."

"I beat Amycus Carlo away in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class a few days ago." Lu Yunkai interrupted Irene's argument, "Okay, when there is no need to take risks, it is not shameful to be cowardly. Understand?"

"...Okay." Erin sighed softly, "Then...I really thank you this time."

"It's okay, that's it. I have other things to do."

"……Thanks a lot."

"You work so hard, you can't help it..." Lu Yun smiled, "Really, pay attention to your safety, or I will really send you to France!"

"Oops!! I got it!! Got it!!"

Erin hung up the communication.

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, put away the communication mirror, and was about to go out and leave, when suddenly, the door to the Room of Requirement opened.

A man walked in.

Seeing Lu Yunkai face to face, the man was stunned.

"...Why are you here?"

"...You just hid the disappearing cabinet here??"

"Hmm...how did you find it?"

"I just want a place where I can't be discovered...forget it, don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble for you."

"I know!!" Malfoy walked into the room and waved his hands in annoyance, but he looked nervous, "Isn't it unsafe here?"

"...I suggest you find a new condition that is more complicated and less likely to crash with others." Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, "Otherwise...there may be trouble."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because the Room of Requirement is probably going to be busy soon."

"……oh."

Malfoy nodded seriously.
