Hogwarts Kryptonian

A Burrow wedding somewhat represents the living state of wizards in the post-Nurmengard era.

Although Voldemort was not told anywhere that he had disappeared, and at the same time, Dumbledore, who was the flag of resistance to him, seemed to have also left, but no one discussed where they went.

Everyone just pretended that the two of them had never existed.

Even, except for their families, along with those members of the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters who disappeared in Nurmengard, they were all forgotten.

Of course, I just pretended to forget.

Just as Daphne, who attended the wedding with Lu Yunkai that day, said to Lu Yunkai when she returned home, Kingsley can still become the new Minister of Magic, which shows that these people are still expecting Dumbledore's people to be able to protect them.

There are still many good people in the wizarding world.

Lu Yunkai, who understood all the "mysteries" behind the change of Minister of Magic this time, did not take Daphne's "good wishes" seriously, nor was he stupid enough to contradict his girlfriend in person, so...

Just think of Daphne as representing the truth, goodness and beauty of the British wizarding world!

And as the wedding banquet gathered many people who were familiar with the Weasley family, equivalent to half of the British wizarding world, after that, this kind of "truth, goodness and beauty" seemed to have really become a mainstream.

The optimism that "everything is okay" spread through word of mouth among the wizards who attended the wedding.

Of course that's what Kingsley wanted.

Just like what he said to Lu Yunkai at the wedding scene.

"We need to move into a new life, and that's what I'm here for today."

Attending a young man's wedding in a private capacity, and blessing the two of them as a parent, the topics discussed were just trivial matters.

Nothing to do with dark magic, nothing to do with Voldemort.

It's all over, it's over, and the magical world is about to usher in a new era.

And this new era, of course, begins with new people.

For example, those students studying at Hogwarts.

…

"Has your new book list arrived?"

A week after returning from the Burrow, Daphne shook the owl letter in her hand early in the morning and asked Lu Yunkai, who was eating morning tea and reading the newly released Daily Prophet today.

It's already the last day of July. Just like every year, the owl flew to the homes of all Hogwarts students carrying their admission notices for the new Hogwarts school year.

"Received. I was just about to ask you if you want to go shopping in Diagon Alley today." Lu Yunkai took a sip of the black tea on hand and nodded, "There are quite a lot of things to buy!"

"Yes! The review materials for NEWTS," Daphne glanced at the letter in her hand, "are nearly twice as many as those for OWLS!"

"There's nothing we can do about it! The school was a mess last year. Nearly half of our students this year didn't attend class, but NEWTS can't give us a break just because of this." Lu Yun shook his head with a smile. , "If our NEWTS results this year are as bad as last year's, Snape may not be able to sit in the position of principal for two years."

"Yes! I haven't had a class in more than half a year." Daphne sighed softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt when I go back to school."

"It's the last year anyway." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "By the way, have you thought about what to do after graduation?"

"After graduation?" Daphne was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red, "Ah! Why are you so anxious!!"

"..."

Lu Yunkai picked up the red car in his hand and took a sip.

I said, Miss Greengrass, I'm asking what kind of job you plan to do after graduation, not telling you those things! !

Um, why does it look like Daphne really doesn’t plan to find a job after graduation...

Forget it, just pretend you didn’t ask.

"But it seems that it's almost done... Well, by the way, the exorcism ceremony! You'd better arrange it for me as soon as possible!" Of course Daphne didn't realize that she had completely misconstrued what Lu Yunkai said, and she continued to think about it in her own mind. Galloping in the cave: "Why don't we go shopping today, let's finish the ceremony first..."

"Okay, hurry up and have breakfast, and then go to Diagon Alley!" Lu Yunkai interrupted Daphne's murmur.

"Oh." Daphne pouted a little unhappy, but said nothing more.

In the restaurant, it became quiet.

After having breakfast and tidying up, the two of them walked through the fireplace to the Leaky Cauldron.

The long tables in the bar were filled with various wizards dressed casually. Everyone was holding wine glasses in their hands, laughing and chatting in low voices. The buzz echoed throughout the room, and the excitement made Lu Yunkai fall into a trance. It felt like I was back when I first came to the Leaky Cauldron six years ago.

The boss, Tom, was wiping the wine glasses behind the counter while instructing the young wizard who came to work in the bar to do this and that. When he saw Lu Yunkai and Daphne appearing in the fireplace, he nodded and smiled at them.

Lu Yunkai did not go over to chat with him any more, smiled and nodded, and then pulled Daphne, who still wanted to have a drink in the bar, into Diagon Alley.

"Why is it so busy in the Leaky Cauldron, but so deserted in Diagon Alley?"

After passing the stone arch at the back door of the bar, the two walked into Diagon Alley. Daphne was a little surprised when she looked at the sparse crowd on the street.

This seems to be two different worlds from the bustling scene in the bar just now.

"Maybe we came early?" Lu Yunkai said something that he didn't even believe. "There may be more people in a while."

His eyes scanned both sides of the road.

Why are there so few people in Diagon Alley? Because many stores are not open!

Wizards can learn that Voldemort has disappeared today and go to the bar to drink tomorrow, but those who open a shop in Diagon Alley must estimate a business risk! If you feel it is not safe enough, you would rather rest at home for a few more days...

What can I say, the rent is still cheaper.

Lu Yunkai cursed in his heart and started walking around Diagon Alley with Daphne.

In less than ten minutes, I wandered from the beginning of the alley to the end.

The ice cream shop was not open, and there was no place to drink tea. However, the bookstore and the pharmacy were open. Weasley's Joke Shop became the most handsome boy on the street. It should be all Hogg who received the owl letter today. When the Watts students arrived at Diagon Alley, they all rushed inside. There were so many people inside that Daphne, who was obviously very interested in the store, chose to pull Lu Yun through the door without entering.

"There seems to be nothing to see." Daphne glanced at the shops at the end of the alley with waning interest, "How strange, where have the parents of those children gone?"

"Maybe you are also shopping with me in the store? Many of the things George and Fred made are quite interesting." Lu Yun smiled, "As they said, it may not only be children who need happiness in the magic world. "

"You still take their advertising slogans seriously!" Daphne also laughed and sighed, "Then how about we go shopping in their store and then buy books and go home?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go over there and take a look." Lu Yunkai pointed to a shop at the end of the alley.

Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you use the forgetting spell on Ollivander? He shouldn't remember what happened at the Malfoy house before, right?"

"He just doesn't remember about the Elder Wand. It's not like he doesn't remember me." Lu Yun smiled and said, "He just went to say hello."

"...Okay." Daphne sighed softly.

The two of them pushed open the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"Welcome! Oh! Isn't this Lu Yunkai!!"

Ollivander's voice sounded in the store.

The cheerful voice was the same as what Lu Yunkai heard when he first walked into the store six years ago.

"Mr. Ollivander, are you busy?" Lu Yunkai looked at the young man standing in the store, "A new student at Hogwarts?"

From the height and appearance of that child, he looked like he was going to enter the wizarding school this year.

"Yes. Muggle-born." Ollivander smiled and shook his head, "Just a moment, we'll be here soon."

"No rush." ​​Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded to a woman who looked to be in her early thirties who was accompanying the boy, and stepped aside with Daphne.

The work of selecting wands is the same as before. Ollivander still does his job very seriously, choosing the first wand for each child who has just become a wizard's apprentice.

It's just that that boy, like most children, although he is full of curiosity about everything in the magical world, he obviously has poor patience.

I'm a little impatient with changing and waving one after another.

The woman standing next to her had no idea about this matter. She just watched her child waving the wooden stick in his hand again and again, making this weird shop a mess. She was also worried about it, for fear of it. Ollivander was angry and looked like he wanted to buy a random wand and leave immediately.

"Are you from a non-magical family?" Lu Yunkai smiled and chatted with the woman.

"...Hmm." The woman was a little nervous about Lu Yunkai's conversation, but she still nodded to him politely.

"Don't worry, it's the same when choosing a wand. Mr. Ollivander is working hard to help your child find a suitable wand." Lu Yunkai comforted the woman with a smile, "As for this store..."

Having said this, Lu Yunkai took out the magic wand from his sleeve and waved his hand.

"Clean up!"

With a simple spell, the shop was clean and tidy again.

The woman was stunned.

And when the boy saw everything in front of him automatically returned to the shelves, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

After seeing the power of real magic, both mother and son calmed down and allowed Ollivander to fiddle with the wand here, no longer impatient and urging, and Ollivander quickly completed it. His work resulted in the sale of yet another carefully selected wand.

"Why did you suddenly start using fish-men's hair as wand cores?"

After watching the guests leave, Lu Yunkai smiled and chatted with Ollivander who was collecting money.

"After seeing what your wand can do, if you are still superstitious about the feathers of the phoenix and the sinews of the fire dragon, then I really am not worthy of continuing to be a wandmaker." Ollivander smiled and handed over the few wands he had just received. A gold galleung was put into the cash box, "Are you coming to Diagon Alley to buy things for the new school year?"

"Yes, NEWTS exam materials." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, "This is the last school year at Hogwarts."

"You are actually already in seventh grade?" Ollivander was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, "Time flies so fast!! You walked into the store and came to me with your wand. I still remember the appearance clearly!”

Then as if he remembered something, he looked around Lu Yunkai.

"Where's Chrissy?"

"It has been busy with its own affairs recently and has no time to talk to me." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Ollivander, isn't the business in Diagon Alley very good recently? Why do I see so many stores? Didn’t even open the door?”

"Oh! Those few stores that are not open..." Speaking of this, Ollivander had a helpless smile on his face, "The store owners have all gone to travel to the other side of the Atlantic."

"travel??"

"Yes! Wasn't it true that I was held hostage by a mysterious person before? They didn't know the reason, and they were all frightened. Then we made an appointment to go out to play together. I even received a letter from them a few days ago. , asked me if I wanted to go and have a look too!”

"...There's no business anymore?" Lu Yun became happy.

"In fact, few people doing business in Diagon Alley are really short of money." Ollivander put away his smile and glanced at Daphne, who was also smiling next to him, "Although I'm not as rich as you. , but it’s enough to live as long as you want for the rest of your life. Business is just a matter of inertia. They are used to not doing business, so it doesn’t seem to matter.”

"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"After this month passes, I plan to sell the store." Ollivander sighed and continued, "Find a place to retire in peace!"

"Is this so? If wizards want to buy wands in the future, it will not be so easy to find the right one." Lu Yunkai nodded regretfully.

"There will always be new people appearing. Just like the joke shop run by the Weasley brothers." Ollivander pointed to the door, "We old guys have to make room so that they can have room to show off their talents! "

"……Um."

Just then, the store door opened.

A man walked in.

"Yunkai? Why are you here?"

"I came to Diagon Alley to buy things for the new semester. Father, what are you doing..."

Lu Yunkai looked at the person who walked in with surprise.

Slughorn.

"There's something wrong with my wand. I need to replace it." Slughorn looked at Ollivander, "Old man, do you still have it in stock?"

"Oh, of course." Ollivander smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll leave first." Lu Yunkai saw that Ollivander was busy and planned to leave.

"Yunkai, please wait a moment!" Slughorn said, leaving Lu Yunkai for a moment, "I just have something to tell you. I originally thought I would contact you after buying the wand!"

"...Then I'll go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy books first, and then meet at the Leaky Cauldron?"

"That's fine."

Slughorn nodded.
