Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 174 It's Better To Dance
"Brother-in-law!! You pay me back!!"

"I didn't ask you to gamble!"

"If it wasn't because you were greedy for that broken dragon, I would have earned ten Galleons! You pay me!!"

"What does this have to do with dragons! Didn't Dumbledore say that points were deducted because I destroyed the venue..."

"I don't care!! I trust you so much, you failed my trust! Lose money!!"

"So! Cherish life, stay away from gambling, nine out of ten bets!"

Lu Yunkai snorted, holding the golden egg in his hand and looking at it.

The time has come to the second day of the first round of the Triwizard Tournament.

The game the day before was nothing short of exciting.Whether Krum used blinding tactics to snatch the dragon eggs, or Fleur used dancing to charm the dragon, or even more handsome, Harry on a broom was able to win the game almost perfectly by throwing off the chasing dragon with his speed. Success has become the topic of everyone's mouth.

However, there are obviously four contestants in this competition, but one seems to have no name.

The guy who was deliberately forgotten by everyone clearly got No.2 in the total score.

Even when Lu Yunkai returned to the lounge last night, he found that none of the Slytherins showed any curiosity about the golden egg in his arms.

It wasn't until a whole day later that someone finally came to talk to him, and the content was actually about debt collection.

He was very upset.

Don't you all congratulate me?That's a dragon! !

Harry told me today that he was carried around like a hero in the common room all night last night!

"Brother-in-law~~~" Seeing Lu Yunkai's attitude of refusing to give money no matter what, Astoria decided to use his trump card.

behave in a spoiled manner.

"By the way, what mechanism do you think this golden egg has?"

"I'll help you figure out the mechanism, and you will pay off my sister's debt for me?" Astoria bargained.

"One yard is worth one yard. The debt between you and your sister, you have to pay off yourself." Lu Yunkai shook his head resolutely.

Well, during lunch today, Daphne had solemnly warned him that Lu Yunkai was not allowed to get involved in the matter of Astoria asking her to borrow money to bet this time.

Although my sister-in-law is cute, I have to listen to my wife's words even more.

"Hmph!!" Astoria kicked Lu Yun heavily and left.

Lu Yunkai gently rubbed his legs, then looked around.

In fact, if you want to say that the people in the lounge are intentionally ignoring him, you can't say that, because it is obvious that both men and women in the lounge seem to be secretly watching Lu Yunkai, but no one comes up to talk to him...

Alas, it really was because I didn't behave aristocratically enough when someone chased after the dragon's body after the game yesterday, did I lose the Slytherins?

You guys! !Can face be eaten?Do you know how much a whole dragon corpse is worth? ?

childish!

"Open the egg and take a look! Isn't there a seam on it!"

Finally, another person spoke to Lu Yunkai.

"I turned it on last night... it was noisy."

"Noisy?" The Slytherin who spoke was curious.

The question and answer between the two also made more people join Lu Yunkai's side.

That's right! !I can't believe you guys aren't interested in this stuff!

"Well, very, very, very noisy." Lu Yunkai nodded, "My roommate almost broke up with me because I opened this thing in the dormitory last night."

This is not an exaggeration, Blaise really said that last night.

"Shall we hear?"

Finally, someone else spoke to him.

"...cover your ears well." Lu Yunkai said loudly to the surroundings.

Then everyone in the lounge covered their ears...

This group of deadly tsunderes! !They are obviously very curious, but they just don't come to talk to themselves! !
Lu Yun cursed openly, then took a deep breath, and along the cracks on the golden egg, like a flower, broke open the egg.

An extremely sharp and piercing sound came from inside the egg.

That voice seems to be able to penetrate a person's hands and reach the mind...

"stop!!!"

The people in the lounge shouted almost in unison.

The golden egg closes and the sound disappears.

It was quiet again in the living room.It's just that the current atmosphere is unusually weird.

"This egg...isn't it broken by you?"

Malfoy, who had been watching the fun but didn't respond, finally came to talk to Lu Yunkai.

He should be the one who felt ashamed of Lu Yunkai the most yesterday.

Of course, as to whether it was purely because of embarrassment, or whether there was a little bit of envy and jealousy mixed in... it's hard to say.

"Probably not. The protective magic on this is quite strong." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

Just this bastard can sell thousands of Galleons in the system!More prize money than the Triwizard Tournament!
"Then I don't know. This may be your task!" Now that he had spoken to Lu Yunkai, Malfoy let go of his reserve, "Can you ask someone else?"

"No rush, anyway, the next project will be in February next year, three months away!" Lu Yun laughed, "Think slowly!"

"Um……"

……

Time just kept running at the end of November.

In the lounge, Lu Yunkai tried his best to repair his image of being greedy for money in the eyes of everyone in Slytherin (meow, what is there to repair, and it is not shameful. Chris said so), while in school, when everyone treated him After the shock of forcibly snatching a dragon corpse in front of all the principals and officials of the Ministry of Magic passed, the students who slowly recalled it finally realized that Lu Yunkai was talking and laughing in front of them. Killed a dragon...

In theory, this is much more handsome than Harry being chased by a dragon all over the world and finally getting rid of him, right?
Even Cedric Diggory had to admit that he couldn't have killed the dragon if he had been given a match.Lu Yunkai's performance was indeed worthy of being a Hogwarts warrior.As for money or something...

You participated in a competition with "only" one thousand galleons in total prize money, and you spent tens of thousands of dollars on materials in the first round, so you're also thinking about finding a place to make up the shortfall, right?

It has to be said that Cedric's free and easy performance that puts the overall situation first at this time made Lu Yunkai have a lot of respect and admiration for this senior who didn't know how to take good care of the audience before.And it was precisely because Cedric, who had been expected by everyone before, came out and said such words, the pressure on Lu Yunkai was relieved a lot.

So, when the time came to December, when the first Hogsmeade weekend came after Hogwarts ushered in guests, Lu Yunkai's situation in school had already matched him in the first two days after the competition ended. The situation where the dog hates the cat is completely different.

At least, back to normal.

However, as the first weekend away from school after a foreign visitor arrived, not many students chose to leave school to go to Hogsmeade to play. Lu Yunkai and Daphne were also part of the crowd who chose to stay in school.

Because they have more important things to do: practice dancing.

The week before Hogsmeade weekend, Professor McGonagall told them that the Triwizard Tournament had a tradition, the Yule Ball.

Although it is not mandatory to participate (but when McGonagall said this in the classroom, it seemed that he did not mean to allow students not to participate), but I still hope that Hogwarts students can show Hogger in this dance. Watts style.

After all, compared to a competitive match, the Triwizard Tournament is actually more of an exchange activity between the Continental and British Schools of Magic, and traditionally, there seems to be no more elegant way of communication by dancing together...

Especially the two warriors representing Hogwarts, Harry and Lu Yunkai.

But the problem is that, in addition to proficiency in dancing, sometimes it depends on talent.

Harry, for example, has no talent.

As one of the warriors, he is a well-deserved protagonist at this ball. In addition, Harry is a Gryffindor. McGonagall is very concerned about this precious student of his own, but his dancing level...is really It's hard to say.

But Lu Yunkai himself was not much better.

If there's one thing he's better than Harry, it's that he's got a good partner...

Well, a very important part of the Christmas ball is to invite a dance partner to participate. After class, Harry found Lu Yunkai and complained, saying that he didn't know who to invite to the ball (Lu Yunkai glanced at He who was standing next to him during the conversation. Min, sighed silently in his heart), and Lu Yunkai seemed to have no choice...

And there is nothing to choose!Because Daphne dances really well.

It may be that she has practiced it since she was a child (Lu Yunkai still remembers that Daphne has an etiquette class arranged by her mother every year during the holidays, and dancing is an integral part of it). It is like a beautiful swan.

And beside her, Lu Yunkai was as stupid as an ugly duckling...

So this Hogsmeade weekend, like many Hogwarts students who were determined to perform well at the dance (including those like Blaise and Malfoy), Lu Yunkai also chose to stay in school and practice dancing.

Astoria, who was under the age and had no way to leave school, just became a teaching assistant.

Lu Yunkai even felt that perhaps because Astoria had longer legs and a slimmer figure, she danced better than her sister... Ahem.

"Stop! Brother-in-law! What are you doing! I told you, first the left foot, then the right foot! Why are you so stupid?? My sister's feet are going to be swollen by you!"

Astoria stopped the magic-driven instrument in his hand, and clapped his hands impatiently.

And Lu Yunkai had an apologetic expression on his face.

Daphne, who was in his arms, didn't even reprimand her sister for being rude to Lu Yunkai, because her feet really hurt...

"Stop for a moment! Daphne, let me see your feet..." Lu Yun help his partner to sit on the chair next to him, and then squatted down.

"Ah! No!!" Daphne blushed and withdrew her foot from Lu Yunkai's hand, "I'll just take a rest..."

"Brother-in-law, you are so stupid!!" Astoria continued to reprimand from the side.

Lu Yunkai ignored her.

Ever since she bought Lu Yunkai and owed Daphne ten Galleons, this girl has been holding back and wanted to find a chance to scold him well, and today she has seized the opportunity, it would be strange if she didn't scold him enough.

"Do you want some medicine?" Lu Yunkai continued to ask Daphne.

"It's not that serious...it's okay." Daphne hesitated for a while, but still nodded.

"Sister? Do you want to see Madam Pomfrey? Your injury is never a small matter..."

"Shut up!!" Daphne glared at Astoria.

"... Ever? You were often injured before?" Lu Yunkai was taken aback.

He had never heard of Daphne.

"When she was a child... Well, you ask her yourself." Astoria counseled.

Daphne's eyes were still as scary as ever.

"It's okay, don't listen to her bluffing."

"...Let's go and see Madam Pomfrey."

"It's really unnecessary... Ah! Lu Yunkai! Let me down!!" Daphne patted Lu Yunkai's back shyly.

But not very strong.

It's not bad for Lu Yunkai to memorize her directly without saying a word...

"You go back to the lounge first?" Lu Yunkai looked at Astoria.

"Let's go together! I'm worried about her too." Astoria shook her head, and then ran in front of Lu Yunkai instead.
