Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Welcome, what pet do you need... Oh! Isn't this Lu Yunkai! Why are you here?"

After spending most of the day sorting out the clutter in the bar room, Lu Yunkai finally waited until the Magic Zoo store in Diagon Alley opened.

It was almost evening, but the witch boss wearing thick black-rimmed glasses still looked like he hadn't woken up.

"Boss, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me!" The old witch sat casually on a lounge chair near the heater in the shop, took off her glasses, and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

"Do you know that besides Chrissy...well, the soul-eating lynx, are there any other creatures that attack souls?"

Lu Yunkai asked with a little caution.

The boss was stunned, stopped moving his hands, put his eyes back on, and looked at Lu Yunkai strangely.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to know what creature attacked Chrissy."

"Chris lost her possessed soul again??" The boss seemed to understand immediately.

"Again... um." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly.

"Did he fall into the hands of other creatures this time? Impossible! In the realm of souls, no creature can deal with the soul-eating lynx!" The old witch shook her head seriously, "Even Basili With all the creatures around it, what other creature dares to attack the soul-eating lynx? You must have made a mistake!"

"Basilisk? What is that?"

"Oh, it's a monster that appears after a male egg is hatched by a toad." The old witch explained, "It looks like a snake, so it is also called a basilisk..."

"Basilisk??" Upon hearing this word, Lu Yunkai's eyelids jumped wildly.

snake? ? ?

"Its attack method is to extract the souls of the creatures that look at it. Of course, compared to their eyes, their venom is actually more deadly. This thing is easy to cultivate. In the past, many wizards used it to guard their homes. Later, because of magic, If the Ministry strictly checks soul-related spells and creatures, no wizards will dare to raise them openly. "

"Cock egg... toad??" Lu Yunkai was confused when he heard this ridiculous hatching method.

"Yes. There have been no basilisks in England for hundreds of years." The old witch smiled, "And although this thing is easy to cultivate, it is also easy to deal with. You can easily kill it with just a few roosters."

"Cock??" Lu Yun opened his eyelids and jumped faster.

He suddenly remembered the blood letter written by Mrs. Norris when she was petrified. Malfoy mentioned a detail, the chicken feathers all over the floor...

"You don't really think that the basilisk can attack Chris, do you?" The old witch smiled happily. "A hundred basilisks are no match for one soul-eating lynx. It's just like a cat dealing with a snake, easily. very!"

"What if it's a sneak attack?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"Sneak attack? An animal like the basilisk is so stupid, how could it possibly sneak attack Chris, who is smarter than a monkey?"

"What if someone directs it?"

"The basilisk is not a soul-eating lynx and cannot understand human speech!" The old witch explained to Lu Yunkai seriously: "The most they can do is not attack their master. How do you command them? Unless they have Parseltongue."

"Parseltongue? What is that?"

"The ability to speak and communicate with snakes. For example, the famous Salazar Slytherin is a Parseltongue. However, this ability, which is passed down through blood, is very rare."

"Slytherin??" Lu Yun opened his eyelids and jumped wildly.

"The last blood heir of Slytherin is the mysterious man, but the mysterious man never married and had no children, so it is impossible for anyone to speak Parseltongue now." The old witch nodded, "If Chrissy's possessed soul is really lost, It would be more reliable for you to go to the people from the Ministry of Magic. Jesse had them successfully imprison a wizard who used the Imperius Curse on Chris, so it might be okay now."

"Jesse can do it, but I may not! I'm just a wizard apprentice..."

"No. The crime Jesse used on that wizard was the Unforgivable Curse. People from the Ministry of Magic would not slap him in the face and leave such a thing alone." The old witch comforted Lu Yunkai with a smile. "Of course, if you're afraid of involving Chris, who no longer possesses a soul, it doesn't matter if you wait. The soul-eating lynx has a very long life, and it can live until the wizard who used the soul-stealing curse on it dies. , when the time comes, it will still be the same Chrissy.”

"Well, thank you."

Lu Yunkai smiled and saluted the old witch, then turned and left the magical zoo.

Standing on the empty streets of Diagon Alley on Christmas Eve, Lu Yunkai was in a much better mood than before. Of course, this good mood also contained a bit of self-deprecation.

yes! I am just a wizard apprentice who has been exposed to magic for less than two years. Even with the incredible help of the system, my knowledge is still shallow. If I want to look up information, why do I have to bury my head in reading?

Chris had left such a large network of contacts to her, so why didn’t she know how to use it?

stupid! So stupid! !

Lu Yunkai reached out and knocked on his head.

The problem that I have not solved after reading books in school for so long was solved today by chatting with a few old men and women!

Parseltongue, Voldemort, the descendant of Slytherin, the first bloody scene and chicken feathers, the possessed soul is lost...

Things all connected together at once!

All clues point to the legendary creature, the Basilisk.

Although the owner of the Magic Zoo did not tell Lu Yunkai what the basilisk's habits were, he at least told Lu Yunkai a way to deal with the basilisk.

For Lu Yunkai, it would be much easier to know what the enemy is and then find a way to deal with it.

Books are effective when used at such times! !

Without stopping on the street, Lu Yunkai walked directly back to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

In the next few days during the Christmas vacation, he must research all kinds of information about the basilisk. When he returns to school after the vacation, Lu Yunkai will search for the monster's bad luck! !

…

"Tom."

"Oh! Yun Kai! What, is something wrong?"

Time flies by a few days later, and the Christmas vacation is quickly coming to an end.

After asking Isabella, the owner of the Magic Zoo, Lu Yunkai locked himself in the bar room and read various information related to the basilisk every day.

The more he investigated, the more convinced he became that the Slytherin monster must be a basilisk.

Now, Lu Yunkai dared to say that no one in England knew this kind of monster better than him.

He even thought about how to destroy the monster in one fell swoop after seeing it, so now he finally had some leisure time to think about other things.

"I want to ask, if I want to go back to my house from the bar, what should I do?"

Lu Yunkai asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Hogwarts is about to start school the day after tomorrow, and Lu Yunkai plans to go to that house again before going back to school, and then give some advice to the skinny house elf.

After all, he was really satisfied with that house.

Facing the sea, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming...ahem.

"Your house?" Tom was stunned when he heard Lu Yunkai's words, "Do you have a home?"

"Well, I made some money."

"He is indeed the person that Chris has chosen!" Tom showed no doubt at all and nodded with a smile, "Then just use Floo powder to shout your family's name from the fireplace!"

"Home name?"

"Oh! Haven't you named your family yet?"

"...I forgot." Lu Yunkai then realized, "Then I just talk about my home, okay?"

"No." Tom shook his head, "But since you are the owner of the house, it is very convenient to change the name. Just say the name of the family in front of the fireplace at home."

"oh……"

"Are you leaving?" Tom saw the depressed look on Lu Yunkai's face and changed the topic with a smile.

"Yeah. School starts the day after tomorrow, and I want to go over there to tidy up."

"Then will you come to the bar again in the future?"

"What, you're not welcome?"

"How could it be?!" Tom smiled and shook his head, "I'm waiting for you to bring Chrissy to live with you again!"

"……must!"

Hearing Tom talking about Chris, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt warm in his heart.

It seems that he is not the only one who is still thinking about the dead cat! Well... this is half of my home.

He will definitely come often in the future.

After bidding farewell to Tom, Lu Yunkai put on his backpack and walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, and the touch in his heart disappeared instantly.

In this cold weather, we have to fly again...

Lu Yunkai could only take out the piece of paper that was more like a navigation note than a password, and rode his broom all the way south.

This time, there was no need to stand on an empty grassland and recite a spell. From a distance, Lu Yunkai saw the small house that looked rather shabby. It seemed that after identifying the owner last time, he could enter and exit the house at will.

After falling into the stone wall, Lu Yunkai noticed that the previously messy courtyard had become orderly in just a few days.

He even saw a pond dug out in the corner, and there were actually fish in it. This pond actually didn't freeze in the middle of winter. I think Xueli used some magic on it.

Not to mention, this fish pond still has some charm!

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt that all kinds of vegetables were grown in this huge yard. He would go to the ground and grab a handful of whatever he wanted to eat every day. If he wanted to eat fish, he would go catch one on the edge of the cliff... That day must be very pleasant.

Ahem.

Lu Yunkai reached out and knocked on his head. The talent for farming in his bones could not be washed away.

In fact, this land might be more suitable for growing those rare medicinal materials, right? Although Lu Yunkai can theoretically buy various medicinal materials from the system, if there is such a place to provide proper cover...

Well, I will definitely make arrangements for it during next summer vacation!

Lu Yunkai walked into the room with appreciation for Xue Li's work. That appreciation disappeared instantly with the picture displayed in front of him.

Is this... the same house he saw before?

its not right! !

Before, it was clearly a standard English castle interior decoration, just like the Malfoy family, but now...

What the hell is that huge screen with the word "福" engraved on it at the front door? !

Also, have you ever seen anyone hang an upright plaque in the main hall? ?
