Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 207 A Reluctant Invitation

"What? Hermione gave up, but you came running again?"

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

At noon, just as Lu Yunkai guessed, Umbridge came to the auditorium, and in front of Dumbledore, who was eating there silently, issued a new school rule in his capacity as a senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic.

That’s why Gore didn’t know where he got it from.

As soon as this school rule was announced, everyone was stunned.

Those who knew what happened in the classroom that day almost immediately set their sights on Lu Yunkai.

This naturally includes Hermione.

She also finally understood what Lu Yunkai meant by being targeted.

Harry was just locked up and locked up, but it wasn't to the point where Umbridge set up a school rule to deal with it.

So after lunch, Hermione found Lu Yunkai and expressed her understanding for him not joining their study group.

Because Hermione also came back to her senses, let Harry and Lu Yunkai, two people under Umbridge's key care, appear in this study group together... It's better to directly counter-calculate the Ministry of Magic.

Just because Hermione came back to her senses, it doesn't mean Harry has come back to her senses.He even felt that Lu Yunkai and he were being targeted by Umbridge at the same time, so they should unite against the old witch...

So Lu Yunkai, a good friend with a straightforward personality, found Lu Yunkai again before class in the afternoon, and invited him again.

"I know I'm definitely not good enough to teach them, but you can do it!" Harry's expression was very sincere, "Voldemort is not dead, we need a way to protect ourselves..."

"Whether he is dead or not, what you are doing now is very dangerous." Lu Yunkai still shook his head with a smile on his face, "You have to have confidence in Dumbledore and don't make trouble for him."

"We learn things by ourselves to help him relieve his worries." Harry shook his head resolutely.

"I don't think so." Lu Yunkai shook his head resolutely.

The chat between the two was a little stiff, and it was time for class, so the two broke up unhappy.

In the herbal medicine class that followed, the tense atmosphere between Lu Yunkai and Harry seemed to continue.

Professor Sprout, who usually had a kind smile on his face, seemed to be in a bad mood.Seamus Finnigan accidentally broke a flower pot, and then was deducted ten points from Gryffindor by Sprout, who almost never deducted college points...

Even Sprout's favorite student, Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott, didn't know what happened to her today.

However, Lu Yunkai knew it.

Lu Yunkai discovered that the pot of forgetful grass that was placed on the top shelf in the greenhouse that Irene had arranged to give to Sprout seemed to be missing...

Considering that Professor Sprout is one of the most popular people in Hogwarts, there is no way that anyone who is not open-eyed will hit her. Besides, for most people in this school, forgetfulness Grass is useless.

Only a person who takes the rules of the Ministry of Magic very seriously will care about such a pot of grass...

Lu Yunkai could guess where the pot of forgetful grass went with his toes.

Therefore, after class, Lu Yunkai ignored Harry who seemed to be waiting for him and wanted to persuade him, but insisted on staying in the greenhouse until the end.

"Lu Yunkai? I was planning to find you..."

Professor Sprout's words were not energetic, and his face was a little tired.

But seeing Lu Yunkai, she could barely put on a smile.

"Professor, I know it might be a little inappropriate to say this, but... Actually, forgetfulness grass is not a particularly rare herb for me. I'll give you another pot when the limelight passes."

Lu Yunkai approached Professor Sprout and said in a low voice.

Sprout was obviously taken aback when he heard Lu Yunkai's words.

There was an unspeakable expression on her face.

"I'm not angry because of that pot of grass... Although it is very precious, it doesn't make me so sad." When Sprout spoke again, his tone was not calm, "I'm not as angry as that Umbridge ...But thinking about it, there is nothing you can do. No matter how special Hogwarts is, it is still just a school after all!"

"...Professor, why are you saying these words to me suddenly? Should I pretend that I don't understand?" Lu Yunkai had a weird expression.

Is it just a school after all?If such words fall into the ears of someone like Umbridge, I'm afraid something serious will happen!
"Did I just say something?" Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Professor Sprout, who was still a little angry, put on her trademark smile again, and then sighed softly, "Actually, I I also want to talk to you alone in the past two days. When Umbridge came to my place at noon today, I felt that she came prepared."

"Come prepared? You suspect...it's impossible! Irene will never go out and talk about forgetfulness grass!" Lu Yunkai shook his head resolutely.

"I know it's definitely not Irene." Sprout smiled. "The Ministry of Magic can check the owl's letters and item delivery records."

"...Next time I will ask Irene to bring the forgetfulness grass to Hogsmeade in person, and then the professor will just pick it up for you." Lu Yunkai frowned.

"That's not what I meant." Sprout waved his hand, "She kept asking me where this pot of grass came from when she searched my place. I think she may have known that this pot of grass has something to do with you .”

"Professor, do you think she checked this pot of grass because of me?"

"Probably." Sprout nodded, "So I remind you to be careful, although I don't know why she seems to be targeting you in particular, but I know that if she collects a lot of things that are not good for you, and then do it to you , Hogwarts...really just a school."

"...I understand." Lu Yunkai would be a fool if he didn't understand what Sprout said after hearing this.

"Yeah." Sprout put on that tired expression again, "You can leave now, I'm going back to take a rest."

"Well, Professor, you have worked hard."

Lu Yunkai saluted Sprout politely, then turned around and left the herbalism classroom greenhouse.

……

Dinner time, in the lobby.

"Yunkai, where did you go after class this afternoon?"

Blaise sat down next to Lu Yunkai, grabbed a chicken leg from the dining table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The Owl Tower." Lu Yun replied casually, "Why, are you looking for me?"

He actually went to the Room of Requirement.

It's not that he was asking for something (of course, he also instinctively thought about making a room for the map, but it failed without any surprise), he just wanted to find a place where he could be quiet and think about it.

Lu Yunkai would not ignore what Sprout told him.

Sprout was not Trelawney, she was always steady and could tell Lu Yunkai that Umbridge might be looking for reasons to target him, then Lu Yunkai had to figure out why Umbridge did this.

You know, if Umbridge collects evidence that Lu Yunkai spread the forgetfulness grass that has been banned by the Ministry of Magic, it is definitely not just through him to gain power.

This is the rhythm of sending him to Azkaban.

But obviously this summer, Lu Yunkai also "cooperated happily" with the Ministry of Magic and performed a scene of friendly exchanges between international wizards. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Magic shouldn't have any opinions on him as a "obedient citizen", right?

So, he stayed quietly in the Room of Requirement alone, facing a large piece of parchment, sorting out his relationship with the Ministry of Magic on it for a long time, looking for any reasons that might make the Ministry of Magic dissatisfied with him.

In fact, it didn't take him long to think, and he found a reason that had been mentioned before, but was forgotten by him due to various reasons...

Communication Mirror.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai, who was sitting in the auditorium now, was in a gloomy mood.

"It's not me. It's Padma." Blaise lowered his voice and moved closer to Lu Yunkai, "She has something to do with you."

"Padma? I didn't see her in class in the afternoon, she has something to do!" Lu Yunkai glanced at the table on Ravenclaw's side.

Didn't see Padma.

"I don't know either." Blaise shook his head, "She said that if you are free later in the evening, she would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yunkai instinctively felt that this matter seemed not so simple.

What's more, he really wasn't in the mood to deal with a girl he wasn't too familiar with.

"She didn't tell me." Blaise shook his head, "Why, you don't want to?"

"...You've said that, even if I don't want to, I still have to agree?" Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

He is also really embarrassed to say that the other thing he is upset about now has something to do with Blaise!
"Interesting enough." Blaise smiled and nodded, "Then you can use the communication mirror to contact her directly... Do you have her contact number?"

"No." Lu Yunkai shook his head, and forced himself to educate Blaise: "You!! You must tell her about this kind of thing! And you must take me there!"

"...Yes!" Blaise nodded, "I'll contact her."

"..."

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly.

It's just that his current mood is really bad, and he can't laugh!

Hearing Lu Yunkai's "pointing", Blaise took out the communication mirror without any delay, and sent a message to Padma. After a while, Padma's message came over.

"She said to let you go to the corridor on the eighth floor after dinner, and she will find you."

Blaise relayed the news on the mirror with some depression.

Obviously, Padma didn't want him to follow...

"She doesn't want you to go? Then why should I go!" Lu Yunkai looked at Blaise's appearance and became more and more speechless.

What made him even more speechless was the location.The eighth floor... Padma asked what he was doing there?
What else can I do!It is almost certain that Lu Yunkai has something to do with the self-study group that Harry and the others set up!

"I can't tell her that directly." Blaise shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, you do me this favor, I'll just write this down."

"...I don't want you to owe me a favor! I want to help you make things happen!!" Lu Yunkai rubbed his head speechlessly, "Is there any need for us to talk about these things that owe us favors?"

"... I won't say anything." Blaise shook his head helplessly.

There is really no need!But he didn't know what Padma meant. He was obviously looking for him to ask Lu Yunkai for help, but he didn't let him get involved.

Lu Yunkai, who didn't feel hungry because of his own worries, lost his appetite after being made such a fuss by Blaise. He casually settled a few words for Blaise, who was disappointed, and left the hall.

He didn't go back to the dormitory, and didn't go to the eighth floor with Padmayo, but walked out of the castle directly.

Behind the castle, next to the Whomping Willow.

There is no one in this place, and it is the safest place in Hogwarts.

Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror.

Soon.

"Hey! Young Master Lu, why did you remember to contact me?"

Madame Zabini's grotesque voice sounded in the mirror.

With her coquettish and beautiful face, it is really uncomfortable.

"The Ministry of Magic seems to be planning to do something to the communication mirror." Lu Yunkai didn't bother to gossip with Mrs. Zabini, and directly pointed out the purpose of the call.

Mrs. Zabini's face froze for three seconds.

Then he sighed softly.

"So fast? How do you know?"

"Umbridge is collecting evidence in school that I gave the forgetfulness grass to Professor Sprout." Lu Yunkai said simply.

Sure enough, without further explanation from Lu Yunkai, Mrs. Zabini narrowed her eyes after hearing this sentence.

There was another five seconds of silence.

"This group of people is ruthless enough, and the attack is even worse than I imagined." Mrs. Zabini gritted her teeth.

"Didn't you guess that such a day would come when I was studying mirrors?" Lu Yunkai relaxed a little after seeing Mrs. Zabini's reaction, and asked casually.

"Well. So you don't have to worry too much. Fudge may not even dare to do anything to you, let alone her as a deputy minister." Mrs. Zabini nodded, "But you should also pay attention to it and don't give them any more excuses. Haggling is exhausting."

"Don't worry. Even the pot of grass, they can't get anything against me." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "But I'm not afraid of thieves stealing it, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. This Umbridge is really disgusting..."

"It's no one else's fault." Mrs. Zabini put on a teasing smile again, "Who told you to help Fudge promote the International Union of Wizards this summer? It was originally about the escape of Sirius the year before last." He was almost forced to resign, but in the end, relying on the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, he abruptly brought back his approval rating. Now that Fudge is unambiguous in the Ministry of Magic, that Umbridge is His absolute confidant, otherwise you think anyone can ask for it that night and get an education order from the Ministry of Magic the next morning?"

"...So it was my fault!!" Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.

"So! People from the Ministry of Magic can't do anything to you, but don't expect anyone to be able to drive Umbridge out of Hogwarts. Don't say I can't, it's Lucius, Deng Bullido doesn't have the ability now." Mrs. Zabini shook her head, "You just study honestly recently."

"I want to study honestly, but your son sold me out!"

"...Ah? What did that idiot Blaise do?" Hearing Lu Yunkai talk about Blaise, Mrs. Zabini couldn't laugh or cry.

"Harry Potter recruited a group of people in the school, wanted to secretly learn Defense Against the Dark Arts behind Umbridge's back, asked me to teach them, I refused, and then your son sold me to his girlfriend Already." Lu Yunkai said simply, "You think I have to agree to him, don't you?"

"...This brat!!"

"Okay, now I have to go to the appointment for your son." Lu Yunkai glanced at the time, and finally told Mrs. Zabini: "You should start to pay attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Magic, don't let them count it on purpose. gone."

After speaking, he ended the call, put away the magic mirror, and returned to the castle.

All the way to the eighth floor.

"Lu Yunkai!!"

Before he had time to step up the last step on this side, Padma's voice had already sounded on the other side.

Following the sound, Lu Yunkai knew that his guess was right.

There are several people standing in front of the Barnabas tapestry, and Padma is among them.

It's really a room of request.

Lu Yunkai immediately remembered the room where there were various practice magic props.

Harry has found a good place to study!
