Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 268 The Slug Club
Although she rejected Hermione's proposal to help Muggle-born students find a solution, Lu Yunkai did not take it lightly when the Carrow brothers and sisters made this trick against Muggle-born students.

In fact, all the professors at Hogwarts except the two brothers and sisters showed incomparable disgust towards this behavior.

Even Slughorn, the head of Slytherin House, which has always emphasized blood and origin as its main feature, expressed opposition to this.

The way he presents it is even direct.

"You are the Miss Granger that Yunkai mentioned to me before! According to him, you are the smartest and most outstanding person in your grade! I hope you can come to a small party I prepared this weekend, no Know you are interested?"

Ok.

In the first potions class of sixth grade (the class after Lu Yunkai and Hermione discussed whether to send Muggle-born wizards to the Room of Requirement to hide), Slughorn was in front of all the sixth graders. A student who has taken the NEWTS Potions course invited Hermione to a weekend Slug Club gathering.

And the sentence he said in public was the smartest and the best, and it quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.

The whole thing made many people feel very excited, of course, not including the Carroll brothers and sisters who were busy collecting student materials.

Then they found a fault and accused Hermione:
As the female prefect of Gryffindor, Hermione failed to manage the Gryffindor students, and made a student named Harry Potter absent from class for nearly a week without reason...

Well, although it's a bit absurd to make trouble out of no reason, people in the know, including Lu Yunkai, have stated that Hermione doesn't seem to be so wronged for this blame...

Of course, the two tried to use this as an excuse to exempt Hermione from being a prefect, but they were stopped.

Lu Yunkai formulated a school rule: only the deans of each college have the right to appoint prefects, and only the principal has the right to appoint student council presidents.

In fact, this was originally an unwritten rule of Hogwarts: no professor has ever wanted to intervene in the management of each school, and the prefects of each school have always been appointed by the dean on merit.

But Lu Yunkai jumped out and told the Carlo brothers and sisters clearly: You have the ability to go to Snape to appoint you as the head of Gryffindor, otherwise, you don't count who is the prefect of Gryffindor.

This was finally a reconciliation between the two of them, and it was the end of their second round of confrontation.

But this round, the Carlo brothers and sisters still won.

Lu Yunkai was successfully hung a sword of Damocles on his head.

And in the blink of an eye, it was Saturday night, and Lu Yunkai, who was wearing a dress, came to the Potions classroom.

The first meeting of the Slug Club.

……

"Let's go and say hello to my adoptive father."

"...Can I not go?"

"One day, you can still hide?" Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne who was wearing a beautiful evening dress, but her face was full of worry, and smiled helplessly.

There were not many people in the newly decorated classroom, because it was the first gathering of the reopened Slughorn Club, and Slughorn didn't invite too many people.There are even some people at the prefect level who are not on the invitation list.

Such as Ron Weasley, the male prefect of Gryffindor, and even Pansy Parkinson, the female prefect of Slytherin.

But Daphne was still half-forced by Lu Yunkai.

"It's a day to hide for a day..." Daphne muttered, squeezing her head against Lu Yunkai's arm.

Lu Yunkai could only smile helplessly.

Daphne didn't know how she found out that Lu Yunkai had secretly summoned the Demon God behind her back during the summer vacation. After she came back from Southeast Asia, she only saw Lu Yunkai once, and she angrily ignored him.

From the point of view of others (including Astoria), Daphne is completely overreacting to this incident, even Pansy and Millison have mentioned Daphne because of this incident, but Lu Yunkai has not said much. .

Not even an apology.

Because he understood that the reason why Daphne reacted so strongly to summoning the Demon God during her summer vacation was that apart from worrying about his health, there was another important reason, that is, she knew that Slughorn had arrived at Hogwarts.

Whether the curse issue that she has been worried about will become a hindrance to the final step of the relationship between her and Lu Yunkai, she really has no idea.

Daphne was not so much angry because Lu Yunkai didn't listen to her, but rather because of the cursed thing... How can Lu Yunkai persuade him?The more she persuaded, the worse her mood became.

Even after returning to Hogwarts, although she met Slughorn several times in the auditorium, Daphne has always avoided Lu Yunkai's adoptive father, and even in order to avoid him, Daphne, who got Potion O in OWLS No plans to take Potions this school year.

But just like the old saying in the East, an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.Lu Yunkai was going to pierce the last layer of window paper today, so although Daphne used the ultimate trick of "I don't want to go because I have a stomachache today" in the afternoon, Lu Yunkai still forcibly dragged her here.

And things really weren't as bad as she thought.

"Are you Daphne? Well, what a beautiful lady! Lu Yunkai is quite a lucky brat." Slughorn looked at Daphne who was dragged to him by Lu Yunkai, smiled and nodded, "You Potions OWLS is obviously O, why don’t you prepare for NEWTS? Remember to come to class next week! And... Yunkai!"

"……what!"

"There are a lot of people today, and I can't take care of them. Can you take care of me? Daphne, let her be by my side to help out? I'm getting old, and sometimes I still need personal help."

"……Yes!"

With a few simple words, Lu Yunkai, who was worried about Daphne, was sent away under Daphne's sad face and Baba's eyes.

Afterwards, although Lu Yunkai was chatting with the partygoers, his attention was almost always on Daphne.

And it didn't take long for this worry to turn into admiration.

Slughorn didn't show too much concern for Daphne (as he did with Lu Yunkai), nor was he very cold.

Gentle and kind.

When chatting with every student who participated in the party, he will take care of Daphne consciously or unconsciously.

And that position, generally speaking, would be reserved by Lu Yun.The appearance of Daphne in this place actually means that he never regarded this daughter-in-law-to-be as an outsider from the very beginning...

This kept her heart hanging, and Daphne, who was worried that she would be picked on by Slughorn (especially about the family curse), let out a long sigh.

The way Slughorn treated Daphne was only a small part of Lu Yunkai's admiration. What really made Lu Yunkai have a five-body feeling for Slughorn was seeing how he smiled and chatted with Hermione. Performance.

That's just textbook level.

As a Muggle-born Gryffindor, it was a bit of a surprise that Hermione was invited by Head Slytherin, so when she went to say hello to Slughorn, she felt a little uneasy .

But Slughorn calmed down Hermione's uneasiness very well with just two or three sentences, and even chatted a few words about the house-elf rights society advocated by Hermione, whom few people cared about. He repeatedly praised Hermione as an upright and kind person.

Of course, Lu Yunkai understood that what Slughorn wanted to say was definitely not just a compliment to Hermione, because he heard something like "The Ministry of Magic should really consider the status of house elves, but No one is taking the lead." Considering that Slughorn persuaded Lu Yunkai to stay away from the Ministry of Magic...

Lu Yunkai believed that if he participated in this kind of gathering three or five times, Hermione, who originally didn't have any good feelings for the Ministry of Magic because of Umbridge, might take the Minister of Magic as her life goal.

But from the beginning to the end, Lu Yunkai didn't even say "You are suitable to work for the Ministry of Magic" from Slughorn's mouth.

This kind of "moistening and silent" influence made Lu Yunkai finally understand why Slughorn is obviously not a particularly good potions professor compared to Snape (Lu Yunkai, who has already taken a NEWTS potions class, can To be honest, compared to Snape, his adoptive father really didn't know much about some potion issues) But there are so many students who respect him so much, and even regard him as a life mentor.

He seems to have the ability to make people believe in him, and he seems to be very good at using this ability.

So, when the one-night party was over and she returned to the lounge, Daphne, who was still trembling, had already started to praise her prospective father-in-law in front of everyone.

Even Blaise, who went to the party together, couldn't stand listening to those kind of compliments.

However, considering Lu Yunkai's face, he didn't come out to say anything about Daphne. On the contrary, Daphne's best friend, Pan Xi, who was not invited, jumped out and satirized Daphne.

In fact, Pansy didn't really have a big opinion on the fact that she was not invited to the party. After all, she knew that although she was the female prefect of Slytherin, when it came to OWLS results, she was the best in this class of students. They are all at the bottom, not to mention inferior to Daphne, even Millicent is much better than her.

But what she couldn't bear was that even Malfoy wasn't invited.

She had a tantrum with Malfoy that day, and originally thought that Malfoy would be the same as usual, at least after Lu Yunkai persuaded her to comfort her, and then the two would reconcile as before, but she never expected that this time Lu Yunkai didn't know it was No persuasion, still no persuasion, once she lost her temper, Malfoy just ignored her.

Pan Xi persisted for three days before panicking.

Afterwards, he took the initiative to try to find Malfoy to repair the relationship, but Malfoy put on a completely indifferent attitude.

This made Pansy even more worried about the relationship between her boyfriend and herself.

Now there is an opportunity to show her loyalty to Malfoy confidently, and of course she will not give up.

When Lu Yunkai, Daphne, and Blaise, who were invited together, returned from the Slug Club, Pan Xi sneered at Daphne for a long time.

"It's great to follow Lu Yunkai! You can go to this kind of occasion."

"Did he introduce you as his daughter-in-law? Mrs. Lu? By the way, isn't your first child going to be named Greengrass? Has Professor Slughorn agreed?"

"I heard that Slughorn hired several people to help as waiters, that Longbottom of Gryffindor or something... did you help with the plates? Oh! Helped with the wine glasses! I said! "

All kinds of fault finding.

Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Daphne, who didn't intend to argue with her, was furious at the end, and finally dragged Millicent back to the room.

But when she said this complaint to Malfoy who returned to the lounge very late (even later than Lu Yunkai and the others who went to the party) with a mentality of asking for credit, she got a sentence from Malfoy comments.

"You have a lot to do."

This made Lu Yunkai, who watched the whole process silently by the side, and originally wanted to say something about Pan Xi to vent his anger on his girlfriend, but he was no longer angry at Pan Xi for picking on Daphne just now.

You don't know your boyfriend... well, is your ex-boyfriend losing his hair because he's worried about not knowing how to fix that broken cabinet?

Well, definitely not.

Naturally, let alone know that it was Lu Yunkai who suggested to Slughorn not to invite Malfoy, because Malfoy had some "jobs that are inconvenient to talk about", so Slughorn did not invite the only son of the Malfoy family Bar!

Nor would he know Malfoy's gratitude after he learned about this from Lu Yun, and got some guidance from Lu Yunkai on the training of magic circles...

Therefore, couples have to communicate!As for communication, it is not enough that you all have communication mirrors in your hands.

Looking at Pansy who was stunned by Malfoy's words, and then ran away crying, he really felt that this girl who was always mean and tricky in front of others, but gentle and considerate to Malfoy alone, was so pitiful...

If her father hadn't told Voldemort about Mrs. Malfoy giving the bracelet before, to be honest, Lu Yunkai would have wanted to help her again.

But now...

How should I put it, there is no destiny!

So... just say a few words and say a few words!Anyway, it is estimated that Daphne should be very happy tonight and won't care about her.
