Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 69 Afraid of knowing the goods

"You really don't want to put away this hanging ring?"

Daphne took a look at Lu Yunkai's outfit.

Student robes, nothing to choose from.

My hair is clean and tidy, and I still have a light fragrance on my body, so that’s no problem.

The only eye-catching thing was a gold ring hanging around his neck on a thin chain made of unknown material.

After this summer vacation, she saw Lu Yunkai wearing it a few times in school. At that time, she felt that the ring was simple in appearance at best, and rustic at worst.

"This is what I brought with me when I came to England from the East." Lu Yunkai said with something in mind.

"...Okay." Daphne glanced at the people in the car who had already left, and could only nod her head, "Just don't talk for a while, let me handle everything."

"No need? Isn't that too embarrassing..."

"Oh! I know better than you what my father is like. I have been keeping a close eye on him since he was a child. Leave it to me!"

"oh."

Lu Yun smiled, picked up his backpack, and got off the express train with Daphne.

There were not many people on platform nine and three-quarters, just like on the train just now. Apart from the Slytherin students, there were almost no people from other houses.

After all, today is a working day.

Daphne saw her parents at a glance, pulled Lu Yunkai and ran over.

Without saying a word, he gave the blond, elegant-looking but dark-skinned man a big hug.

"Good daughter! Daddy misses you so much!" The man's face was also filled with a happy smile.

"You missed me, but you came back to see me! You go to a place where birds don't poop and dig holes every day, and you don't want to go home!" Daphne said full of complaints.

"Okay! Okay! I was wrong!!"

"You won't change it even if you know you're wrong!" Daphne snorted, and hugged her smiling mother Hai Lin gently, then pulled Lu Yunkai beside her, "Dad, this is Lu Yunkai."

"Oh." The smile on the man's face disappeared almost instantly, and he looked at him with careful eyes.

Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, but he still tried his best to smile.

"Dad! What are you doing!!" Seeing that Lu Yunkai was uncomfortable, Daphne became a little angry.

"Nothing..." The man's eyes were fixed on the ring hanging on Lu Yunkai's chest, staring at the pattern for more than 20 seconds, "I am Baron Greengrass, Daphne's father. "

"Hello, uncle." Lu Yunkai said hello quickly.

"Daphne, didn't you come back with your luggage?" Helene changed the subject.

"Here!" Daphne patted a small exquisite leather satchel she was carrying.

"Just this satchel...is this a space bag?? You know how to use space spells?" Hai Lin was a little surprised.

"It's not me! It's Yunkai. I told him that it would be troublesome to drag my suitcase and bag home, so he gave me this." Daphne returned to Lu Yunkai with a smile and took Lu Yunkai's hand.

very natural.

"Oh? This space bag is quite beautiful." Helene looked at the small bag Daphne was carrying and nodded seriously.

"Mom, if you like..."

"I'll give another one to you later, auntie!" Lu Yunkai answered in time.

"No! I'll just make a space bag myself..."

"Mother! This Yunkai is different! The space inside is so big!" Daphne wanted to take the opportunity to show off to Lu Yunkai, so she rushed to say, "I tested it and it can fit more than twenty suitcases of mine without any problem."

"...can your suitcase fit in??" Balon looked surprised.

"Yes! What's wrong?" Daphne looked confused.

"Okay, let's go. Let's talk about anything at home." Baron's eyes stayed on Lu Yunkai's ring for two more seconds, and then smiled and nodded to his wife.

The four of them walked out of the platform and came to a deserted corner of King's Cross Station. A somewhat shabby armchair was placed there awkwardly, but the occasional passer-by did not find anything strange.

"Go and hold the chair." Daphne reminded Lu Yunkai gently in his ear.

Lu Yunkai nodded slightly and, like Daphne, held the back of the chair.

In an instant, Lu Yunkai felt as if his body was being pulled by something and flew high into the sky, then hit the ground again.

The feeling of comfort was even worse than that of a roller coaster, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

When he came to his senses, he found that he was already outside the gate of the Greengrass family's manor.

He came here almost every day for a month this summer. Whether it was the garden or the huge fountain that looked like a blooming rose in front of the castle, he was already very familiar with it.

Walking into the courtyard, it is still a short walk away from the castle, but the courtyard is full of beautiful scenery at noon in autumn, and walking in it does not feel boring.

"Daphne! Go clean up and get ready for lunch!"

As he walked into the castle covered with ivy, in the huge hall, Baron, who had been leading the way but said nothing, smiled and said to his daughter.

"Ah? Then Yun Kai..."

"I'll take him to the study to sit down first."

"This..." Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai at a loss.

"You go ahead." Lu Yunkai smiled at Daphne.

"Yeah, I'm fast." Daphne seemed a little worried, nodded, and then ran all the way up the stairs.

"I'm going to see Astoria." Hailin also understood that her husband probably had something to say to Lu Yunkai alone, so she could only smile and pat Lu Yunkai on the shoulder before choosing to leave: "If she knows you are coming, Yes, I am definitely very happy.”

"Maybe!" Lu Yun smiled.

happy? How can it be! That girl wishes I would stay far away from her sister!

After Daphne and her mother left, Lu Yunkai followed Baron into the study on the first floor.

"Please sit down. I heard Astoria say that you were tutoring Daphne in Potions class here this summer? You should be familiar with this place, right?" There wasn't much politeness in Baron's words, but he was. Nothing rude either.

"Yeah, not bad." Lu Yunkai smiled and sat on a chair in the room.

Balon sat opposite him and looked at him for a while.

"Uncle, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Lu Yunkai really didn't like being scrutinized like this, especially using Legilimency.

"I heard from my wife that you practiced Occlumency, and it seems to be true."

Baron withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, took out a pipe, held it in the corner of his mouth, lit it, and took a puff, looking natural and relaxed, as if he wanted to put more psychological pressure on Lu Yunkai.

But Lu Yunkai didn't accept this trick.

Smiling and watching him do all this, unmoved.

"How did you become familiar with Daphne?"

"One time the two of us sleepwalked and bumped into each other..."

Lu Yunkai told the story of the time he met Daphne while spying on Quirrell in the middle of the night.

"Yeah." After hearing the story, Baron was noncommittal, "I also heard that you often help her study?"

"I usually refine potions in the lounge. She will come and ask me some questions from time to time, and I just answer them. I can't help you. Anyway, I am just waiting for the time for the potion to brew. I am idle." Lu Yun smiled. .

"Potion? Well, by the way, I remember Daphne told me that you helped your roommate get the Phoenix Tears? That's not something that's easy to get!"

Baron asked with a smile.

His eyes glanced at the ring hanging by Lu Yunkai again.

"I don't know the specifics. Blaise's mother exchanged some things with my friends. I just introduced them to them."

"I'm also very interested in getting to know that friend of yours."

"I'll introduce you to you if I get a chance."

Lu Yunkai answered without missing a beat.

"Also, you are Professor Slughorn's adopted son? What about teaching others?"

"Professor Snape told me this. I actually don't remember it. It wasn't until last year that I accidentally drank the anti-curse potion..."

"Forgetwort is no easier to get than the tears of the phoenix. And you actually have the guts to drink it? Daphne praised you so much when she wrote to me about this." Baron interrupted Lu Yunkai "But you should do less of this reckless Gryffindor-like thing."

"If the words of Professors Sprout and Snape are not credible, then there is no need for me to stay at Hogwarts." Lu Yunkai retorted calmly.

Baron was stunned and smiled.

"So, where did the ring you are wearing come from? Did that friend give it to you?"

"No, this is a family tradition."

"Professor Slughorn..."

"I brought it from the east." Lu Yunkai explained more.

"Dongfang??" Baron's eyes narrowed.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Lu Yun opened his eyes and asked, but still smiled.

"Can I see this ring of yours?"

"Oh! Of course!" Lu Yunkai quickly took the ring off his neck.

"Hey!!" Baron exclaimed as he received the necklace with the ring.

Lu Yun smiled.

Sure enough, this "prospective father-in-law" is a discerning person! Not only did he notice his own ring, but he also noticed the ordinary-looking necklace.

That necklace sells for more than 10,000 gold galleons in the system! Put it in Knockturn Alley, God knows what kind of price it can be sold for.

But Balon may be really knowledgeable, and he quickly shifted his attention from the necklace back to the ring.

"Can I try a spell?"

"Of course. Just don't break it for me."

"Definitely not." Balon took out his wand and waved at the ring, "Time pursuit!"

A red light shot from the tip of his wand.

However, before it touched the ring, it was bounced away by an invisible barrier.

"This necklace..." Balon looked shocked, "Can I take the ring off the necklace?"

"Oh! Please." Lu Yunkai still smiled and watched Baron's performance.

Finally, the spell to try again fell on the ring.

After being hit by the red light, the ring emitted a light blue to purple light, but it did not last long and the color dissipated.

As if something touched a switch, Balon cast five or six spells on the ring in succession.

Each spell has a different color and the light it emits after hitting the ring is different.

Finally, the last color faded away, and the ring returned to its original, less shiny appearance.

"...What's wrong, uncle?" Although Lu Yunkai smiled secretly in his heart, he sounded worried when he asked.

"Your ring...you...are nothing." Baron finally recovered from his gaffe and shook his head, "Your Dongfang family...oh, yes, you are an orphan."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "What's the origin of this ring?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, oh! By the way!" Baron looked out the window, "Let's go have lunch! Let's talk after eating!"

"okay."

Lu Yunkai took back the ring with a smile, strung it on the necklace, and hung it back around his neck.

"This necklace of yours...comes with the ring?"

"Hmm. What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Baron shook his head.

His expression was indescribably weird.
