Hogwarts Kryptonian
Chapter 26 Extending Life
Lu Yunkai slept with his pet cat for the first time since accepting Chris as his magical pet.
That night, Lu Yunkai didn't sleep well. He had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was standing in a vast sea of sand, dressed in ragged clothes, looking like he was about to die of thirst. Then, he jumped into a bottomless black hole in front of him, and the surroundings were dark. Then, suddenly, everything changed again. Liang, he fell into the desert again...
Like a matryoshka doll, repeated again and again.
So when he got up the next day, he had no energy at all.
"Meow, I've been thinking about it all night. You'd better not tell Snape what happened last night."
The first words Lu Yunkai heard from Chris after waking up made him feel very relieved.
In fact, Lu Yunkai didn't go to Snape directly last night, not because he was worried about how to explain what he knew about what happened in the Forbidden Forest, but because he was worried that it would be of no use at all.
You know, wizards have a tradition of using unicorn hair and horns to make wands. No matter how sacred and pure an animal is, it is just an animal after all. Especially for a potions professor like Snape, Lu Yunkai didn't believe him. Will completely fall out with Quirrell over the welfare of animals.
Knowing this, if Lu Yunkai files a complaint again, he is simply making fun of his own wealth and life.
But the night before, after seeing the angry and helpless Chris after the unicorn was killed, Lu Yunkai knew that it was useless to reason with it, and it would even make it feel that "human beings are not good"...
Now that it has calmed down, Lu Yunkai is certainly happy.
However, he felt even more guilty, so he promised Chris that he must find out what exactly Quirrell was doing.
After breakfast, he plunged into the library and looked up information.
First, he had to figure out what the unicorn's blood was for, which Chrissy didn't even know.
And this search lasted a whole day. Although the unicorn is a very famous magical creature and has been mentioned in many places, they only mention the use of its hair and horn in making wands. As for its blood, the most mentioned is silver. I can't find any use for it.
Finally, after Halloween, Hermione returned to school to return books to the library. After seeing Lu Yunkai, she spent five minutes helping him find the answer in a book she had "read as entertainment".
It was a wizard's memoir, and because it contained too much fictional content, it was classified as a novel...
"A lot of things in this book are not very credible, just read it. But why do you suddenly care about the role of unicorn blood?"
Hermione spoke with a hint of incomprehension, but she didn't ask any more questions, returned the book, borrowed two new books, and left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Lu Yunkai that there was a banquet in the evening, so don't get too engrossed in reading.
However, Lu Yunkai's attention had already been attracted to the book.
"Fresh unicorn blood can extend human life, but the drinker will also be cursed with a life worse than death. When the unicorn dies, the effect of the blood will be quickly lost, leaving only the beautiful silver color..."
This line of writing in the book seemed like nonsense to many people, but in Lu Yunkai's eyes, it was shocking.
"Extending lifespan...what happened to Quirrell? Why are you so obsessed with things that extend lifespan? He doesn't look very old! Why are you so afraid of death?"
After closing the book, Lu Yunkai muttered to himself.
He thought of the magic stone that Quirrell wanted to buy for him, which could also be used to make potions that extend life.
Lu Yunkai was 100% sure that this had something to do with the face on the back of his head.
What exactly is that face?
With such questions, Lu Yunkai left the library and returned to the common room absent-mindedly.
Then his thinking was interrupted.
The young wizard apprentices who came back from home filled the Slytherin lounge. Everyone was chatting and laughing excitedly, talking about what they had encountered during the short vacation that had just ended, what delicious food they had eaten, and what they had played. Something interesting.
And Lu Yunkai was also dragged into this party.
Blaise gave Lu Yunkai a cake baked by his mother, saying that his mother asked him to hand it over to Lu Yunkai no matter what.
Malfoy told Lu Yunkai that his father wanted to order a batch from him to donate to the Slytherin Quidditch team after hearing that Lu Yunkai could obtain Nimbus 2000.
For such a large order that fell from the sky, if it were before the Halloween holiday, he would definitely accept it with joy. But after these few days, especially after seeing Quirrell's ghostly appearance the night before, Lu Yunkai changed. Have to be a lot more cautious.
He did not agree rashly, but said that Professor Snape hoped that he would have less contact with friends outside the school. If he did such a thing again, he might be in trouble by Snape.
In the past two months, Malfoy had watched Lu Yunkai being locked in the lounge making potions after class every day. After hearing what he said, he could only say that he could give it up for now and talk about it later when he had the opportunity...
In this way, after the reunion in the lounge, all the students put on formal clothes and headed to the auditorium for the dinner together.
It was talking about a dinner to welcome students back to school. In fact, it was a replacement for the Halloween dinner that was ruined by the mountain monster.
This time, there were no mountain monsters to cause trouble, and all the students who had just finished their vacation were very happy.
But this does not include the worried Lu Yunkai.
In the Great Hall, he made eye contact with Snape twice and Quirrell once.
And these three times of eye contact, Lu Yunkai clearly felt that the two of them were exploring his thoughts...
So Lu Yunkai had to maintain the state of Occlumency all night, and did not relax until he returned to the dormitory after the banquet.
Then he found that he didn't seem so tired after getting used to it.
…
Just like that, the vacation was over, and Lu Yunkai returned to his life as a first-year student at Hogwarts.
Study in class every day, refine potions, chat with classmates from the same college and other colleges, and then practice Occlumency unremittingly.
After all, he didn't tell Snape about Quirrell, and he wouldn't risk his stupidity and go directly to Dumbledore, who didn't seem to like him very much.
That was a secret between him and Chris, and he pressed it down.
Well, maybe the centaur named Firenze also knows?
Anyway, Lu Yunkai would never mention it to anyone again.
It's just that Lu Yunkai seemed to be an obedient student, but he couldn't stop other restless people from causing trouble. For example, his first friend...
Harry once again became the star of the school.
It's not that he has been doing very well at Quidditch: although Gryffindor has been losing recently, Harry's performance as a seeker has been remarkable.
He was criticized by the whole school for violating school rules.
For this group of wizard apprentices, violating school rules is commonplace. In the words of Ron's two twin brothers, any student who has not had points deducted for violating school rules at Hogwarts is not a normal person.
The problem is, the reason why Harry and Ron broke school rules is so cool!
Sneaking out in the middle of the night to watch Hagrid hatch dragon eggs.
Dragon eggs! This kind of thing is a legend for every Hogwarts student, and the curiosity is simply overwhelming!
Of course, there is another reason, that is, they were not caught by the administrator, Mr. Filch, when they slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night, but were reported by someone, and the reporter was also arrested for the same reason. They were both punished together.
A typical example of harming others but not benefiting oneself! !
The subsequent punishment of the three people also caused a lot of discussion among the students: the school punished the three of them to follow Hagrid to patrol the Forbidden Forest at night.
When Lu Yunkai saw the whistleblower Malfoy complaining about the spiders he encountered during the punishment, he didn't know what to say to him. He could only smile helplessly and shake his head...
Of course, another thing Malfoy said inadvertently attracted Lu Yunkai's attention: during their inspection, he and Harry saw a pool of silver blood on the forest floor, which was said to be the blood of a unicorn.
Malfoy originally said this with a strong voice to prop up the scene, but when it fell into Lu Yunkai's ears, it had a completely different meaning: the things Quirrell had done should be no longer hidden. .
This made Lu Yunkai feel inexplicably urgent and uneasy: If Quirrell couldn't continue to use unicorn blood to prolong his life, would he be forced to find a way to get him the magic stone?
This sense of urgency forced Lu Yunkai to spend more extracurricular time on Occlumency practice.
No matter what, you must form a completely false yet extremely real character and memory as soon as possible!
Time is moving forward rapidly in this kind of school life, from autumn to winter.
The pine trees were covered with thick snow.
Then, ribbons and bells were hung.
Christmas vacation is coming.
