Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 178 Water

"Why did you come here so early?"

"It's too awkward to be in the auditorium."

"What's so awkward? Someone wants to chat with you?"

"...not for me, but for Astoria."

"Oh."

Daphne smiled helplessly, and put down the book in her hand.

Lu Yunkai closed the book for her.

Before leaving for the ball, Lu Yunkai first visited Daphne in the infirmary. At that time, she was reading the third page of No.70 of "Curse and Magic".When Lu Yunkai closed it for her just now, the book was still on this page.

Where is she reading a book! !

"But it's also because of me that your dinner was ruined." Daphne said in a regretful tone, "You should be the focus of the whole school tonight."

"It's not necessary." Lu Yun laughed, recalling the scene when the four warriors danced with their partners just now as the opening of the ball.

That girl who is usually crazy and has a snake wrapped around her neck every day, dressed up so fiercely tonight, she actually snatched the eyes of many boys away from Fu Rong.

It can only be said that the necklace with the confusion spell is extremely powerful! !

And that dress is a plus too.

Anyway, at the opening dance, Lu Yunkai and Astoria became the focus of the audience, and after getting off the stage, the boys around the girl who came to strike up a conversation can be described as "continuously".

So much so that she probably didn't notice that Lu Yunkai was sneaking away.

As for Lu Yunkai...

If he is a piece of wood, he is already a victory without embarrassment.

Before Daphne was worried that Lu Yunkai would take her sister to be used as a tool, but who would have imagined that the tool turned out to be Lu Yunkai!
Daphne shook her head slightly, smiled and looked out of the dark window.

Snowflakes are falling in the sky, very Christmas atmosphere.

Lu Yunkai smiled, looked at Daphne, and remained silent.

for a while.

"Actually, I want to dance with you."

"There are still opportunities in the future... Well, let's go, anyway, the dance is over, and you are discharged from the hospital now, Madam Pomfrey will definitely not trouble you, let's go." Lu Yunkai suggested softly.

"Go? Where?"

"I'll take you to a place." Lu Yunkai smiled, "A place where you can dance."

"...But Madam Pomfrey won't let me dance!" Although Daphne said the words of refusal, there was an indescribable smile on her face.

"She won't know. Come on!"

"But...um."

……

"Meow! Wake up!!"

"...Dead cat! Let me sleep a little longer!"

"I can't die if I sleep less! Hurry up and get to work!!"

Chris said impatiently while scratching Lu Yunkai's face with her paws.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly and got up.

Glanced to the side.

Blaise was still asleep.

This poor guy must have spent the whole night squatting alone in an unknown place. When Lu Yunkai came back to sleep, his bed was still empty!

And last night Lu Yunkai came back very late...

And very tired.

He and Daphne went to the Room of Requirement and danced all night.

"Meow, are you awake? When you wake up, hug your golden egg and go out with me."

"Eh? Did you find out?"

Hearing what Chris said, Lu Yunkai's brain, which was still in a daze, instantly woke up.

After Snape forced Lu Yunkai to spend more time on the triwizard battle that day by threatening to increase his schoolwork load, Lu Yunkai handed over the task of unlocking the secret of the golden egg to Chrissy.

The reason was very high-sounding: he had to look up the soul magic related to the curse in the pile of forbidden books.

Although Chris expressed her objection to this, it was invalid and she could only accept it.

For a period of time after that, it has been inquiring about the golden egg everywhere, from Durmstrang's place to the arms of Beauxbaton's sisters, and it has done its duty.

"That's right! Last night Furong also left the ball early, but she's not going on a date, she's practicing the underwater breathing spell!"

"...Underwater Breathing Curse?"

"Yeah! Then I heard Gabriel ask her sister how her practice was going, and she said that if it wasn't because it was too cold, she would go down to the lake to have a look..."

"So, the next task is at the bottom of the lake?" Lu Yun frowned, "But the competition will be at the end of February next year! It was cold in the lake at that time..."

"Meow! This is a Triwizard Tournament anyway, and you expect the two of you to soak in the hot springs to finish the match?" Chris said in a disgusted tone.

"This...indeed." Lu Yunkai was scolded embarrassingly, then, suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh heavily, "Oh! Yes!! Snape told me the other day, as long as I 'immerse' in it, Then you will be able to understand what the secret of the golden egg is!!"

"Immersion? Water? Meow, Snape is such a good teacher!" Chris said in a strange voice.

"Hmph, is there anyone who doesn't cheat in this Triwizard Tournament? Snape didn't say that it's already good." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "Then I'll find a place with water to open this golden egg..."

"So I told you to come with me! I found a place. The prefect's bathroom! There's a bath in it, and there's no one there at this hour."

"Prefect..."

"You are a Hogwarts warrior anyway! You are fighting for Hogwarts! Don't talk about the prefect's bathroom, go to Dumbledore and ask him to lend you his bathroom, and he will probably agree!" Chris waved She waved the cat's paw, "As long as you don't go into the female prefect's bathroom, you'll be fine."

"You thought I was you!"

Lu Yunkai glared at Chris.

……

"Meow! What did you hear?"

Beside the huge bathtub, Chris's face was full of curiosity.

As a cat, it's good enough not to hate water, but if you want to let it play in the water...it's impossible.It is impossible in this life.

And Lu Yun opened his head from the bathtub, then reached out and wiped off the water droplets on his face.

"I didn't hear it very clearly, I have to listen to it again." Lu Yunkai said while panting, "Why can't you sing on the ground, steal my treasure, and then only have an hour to find it, or it will disappear. "

"Steal the treasure? What treasure? Meow??" Chris thought.

"I don't know. But maybe it's something at the bottom of the lake... Is there anything in the lake that sings?"

"How do I know!" Chris shook her head almost instinctively, and then quickly said, "Oh! That's right! Mermaids!! There are mermaids in the lake! It is said that mermaids can sing, isn't there a story about mermaids singing to confuse sailors and cause disasters? ..."

"If the singing voice of the mermaid is the same as the one in this egg, the sailors will definitely not look sideways." Lu Yun gave Chris a blank look, but he thought the cat might be right.

As a college whose lounge is at the bottom of the lake, the Slytherins know everything about what is in the great lake of Hogwarts.

In addition to that giant octopus, there are many amazing creatures.

However, if it is related to words like language and singing that are mostly linked to intelligence, there may be only the only one with the character "herringbone" in its name.

"Meow, it seems that you also need to practice the underwater breathing spell..."

"Is that necessary?" Lu Yun gave Chris a blank look, "The second item didn't say that only magic wands are allowed. The underwater breathing potion, a bottle of Galleon, is provided by the system."

"That's good. Then let's ignore the matter of this project. How is your investigation on the banned book?"

"I was busy with the ball yesterday, so I didn't have any new progress." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "But I thought of something when I was dancing with Daphne yesterday. You said that the curse her father provoked can be regarded as a curse he cast on himself Curse?"

"Meow, what do you mean?"

"In the past week, I have checked all the books related to curses in the restricted area, and there are almost no curses on myself." Lu Yunkai took a touch of water, splashed it on his face, and continued. , "So it suddenly occurred to me yesterday that maybe Voldemort could curse his own soul by doing some outrageous things, and then achieve the same effect..."

"Voldemort has done too many crazy things!"

"To be honest, I really don't know what he did." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "But it's not important, for example, I cast a protective spell on you first, the effect of the spell is that if someone tries to kill you , that person's soul will be torn apart. Then I will kill you..."

"Meow, then your soul will be split?" Chris nodded, "This is a way to curse yourself. But the soul that leaves the body will disappear immediately!"

"But there are some that don't disappear! For example, the ghosts of the academy, and those paintings on the wall!" Lu Yunkai looked serious, "I can definitely prepare a magic item that can capture my soul fragments, and after I kill you, The torn soul will be attached to that item..."

"Like that notebook!!" Chris nodded repeatedly, "The resurrection ceremony he is doing now seems to be preparing a container for his soul!"

"So I think what I'm looking for is not a magic that can tear the soul, but a container that can preserve the soul. As for how to tear the soul, it may just be a bonus for making that container... Moody wasn't in class before. As I said above, using the Imperius Curse to kill people will make the soul cursed, although he didn't say what the curse is, but I plan to try it along this line of thought today."

"Meow, what can I do for you?"

"Not at the moment." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I can only slowly search in the restricted area, but...the matter of the Triwizard Tournament, I definitely don't have time to think about it."

"Meow. It's simple, just leave it to me." Chris nodded, "I'll help you keep an eye on Krum and Fleur. I'll tell you what new plans they have, and you can follow suit when the time comes." That's it."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai stood up from the bathtub, "Okay, I'll go to Harry first and tell him about this bastard."

"No need?" Chris stopped Lu Yunkai, "I don't think it might be good for him if you run to help him with everything."

"How to say?"

"In this competition, someone obviously wants to plot against him. As for who it is...haven't shown up until now, aren't you curious?"

"You want me to use Harry as bait?" Lu Yunkai instantly understood, "Then what's the difference between me and Dumbledore!!"

"But if you let that assassin hide behind you, when will you find out! Wouldn't that be more disturbing?" Chrissy insisted, "Besides, don't underestimate Harry and Hermione, I think this He can definitely think of something as simple as egg."

"..."

"How about this, meow, I'll keep an eye on him for you. If he hasn't discovered the secret by mid-January, you can go find him again."

"also."

Lu Yunkai thought about it and nodded.
