Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 209 Undercurrent
DA's first meeting went on so smoothly.

A group of older brothers' colleges, and even students from all grades got together to discuss the name, symbols, and even code words of their study group for a long time. Until the end of the meeting, there was no serious mention of magic spell practice.

Although Lu Yunkai could understand this, he was also a little speechless.

Are you trying to form an anti-Umbridge organization, or are you trying to learn something?It's really hard to tell which is more important...

Therefore, before the end of the show, Lu Yunkai made it clear to Harry and Hermione again that he probably would not come again.

"Although it seems that people don't dislike me because I am the only Slytherin, I still feel weird."

The same thing was said before by Lu Yunkai to both Harry and Hermione. At that time, they both felt that perhaps no one would use the academy as a criterion for judging.

But after this gathering, even Harry had to admit that most of the people from the three colleges present still sat clearly.

And Lu Yunkai stayed there all night alone, Harry and Hermione were too embarrassed to open their eyes and tell lies, saying that the study group did not exclude Slytherin.

……

After Lu Yunkai finally dealt with Harry's "graciousness", he returned to the life of an obedient student almost at the speed of light.

Very nice.

Even better than when he arrived at Hogwarts in his first year and was unfamiliar with the place.

He listened carefully to the lectures and took notes in class. After class, he should do homework and review. He didn't even touch the medicine on the potion fragment that Daphne gave him, let alone read books in the restricted area or configure monster teaching materials. His potion is gone.

Classrooms, dormitories, and restaurants are on the three-point line every day, and there will be absolutely no troubles.

So much so that Astoria, who had never seen Lu Yunkai so honest, began to suspect that Lu Yunkai was scared stupid by Umbridge.

Of course, some people think that Lu Yunkai probably wanted to set an example because he was assigned a prefect...

People who think so include Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and a series of Lu Yunkai's teachers.

Even Umbridge, couldn't find any problems with Lu Yunkai lately.She should read books and take notes carefully in class, and she can't find any big problems in the thesis assignments she left...

She publicly praised Lu Yunkai twice in class.

And the former Slytherin Deputy Minister of Magic seems to have finally found her footing at Hogwarts, waking up to her own parentage.It started to be less indiscriminate, and began to have a selective double standard.

For example, when Goyle fell asleep in class, she ignored him, but Ron dozed off in class, and what was ushered in was confinement and Gryffindor points deducted after class.

So, in public, students from the other three colleges began to say that Hogwarts had another female Snape...

And Umbridge's transformation seems to have successfully changed some people's perception of her.

For example, Malfoy, who had a lot of opinions on Lu Yunkai when she came, seemed to be less disgusted with her after receiving several compliments from her in court, and joined a law enforcement team she formed to maintain school rules.

He even tried to persuade Lu Yunkai to join in...

Of course Lu Yunkai refused.

He's not as straightforward as Malfoy.The reason why Umbridge changed like this is very clear to him.

She is forced.

This has to start with Umbridge's investigation of the forgetfulness.

That thing came to an end back in late September.

It's over.

The brooch that Lucius gave Lu Yunkai as a Christmas present last year played a huge role in this matter.

According to what Snape told Lu Yunkai (he was full of schadenfreude when he said this), the current president of the Association of Magical Apothecaries, a famous German pharmacist wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic for the members of the Association to plant And expressed concern about the fact that the use of forgetfulness grass to refine potions was investigated...

Originally, the Ministry of Magic's ban on forgetfulness grass was only valid in England. This matter is basically a joke in Europe across the strait.For the Association of Magical Pharmacists whose members include the entire Europe, this behavior is simply "extremely stupid and irresponsible" (the original words in the letter).

The Ministry of Magic in England used to laugh when faced with such doubts from Europe before, and then continued to do its own thing, but it can't do it now.

Fudge really didn't have the confidence.

He is very clear that his current popularity in the Ministry of Magic is brought about by international cooperation, and it is not worthwhile to offend the most influential unofficial organization for a pot of grass.

So, Umbridge had been personally told by Fudge not to touch the forgetfulness.

And in order to deal with the "international pressure" brought on by Lu Yunkai, Fu Jixiang, who was a little out of breath, let go of his previous concealment and went straight to the right owner (at least Lu Yunkai thought so).

On the first Monday in October, the Ministry of Magic sent someone to the Communication Mirror Shop to investigate whether forbidden magic was involved.

Close the store, suspend business.

This set of things is not unfamiliar to Mrs. Zabini.She had encountered it when she was selling magic medicine lucky bags, so she sent a message on the communication mirror to cooperate with the investigation of the Ministry of Magic and suspend the service without any panic.

Then, be open to investigation.

The Ministry of Magic failed to do anything to Mrs. Zabini last time when it came to the potion bag, and there is nothing to worry about this time.

She didn't even have to go out and ask for someone.

Anyone who uses a magic mirror knows whether there is black magic in the magic mirror.

After all, there is no wizard who does not study what is going on when he gets the mirror, and the magic that Lu Yunkai uses on the communication mirror is not so advanced that it cannot be cracked at all.

The wizards still dare to use it, which can explain the problem.

The investigation arranged by Fudge hadn't really intended to give the communication mirror a black magic hat.

He just thought that such a scare and suspending the service for a period of time can make the wizards feel that this thing is not as useful as expected. As long as it lasts for a month or two, the wizards will go back and continue to communicate with owls. .

But he was wrong.

Oh, and it's not all wrong.On the second day, the owl mail line, which had obviously become deserted in the past six months, suddenly became busy.Most of these owls are flying towards the Ministry of Magic...

Complaint.

"The things I use myself, I don't know that they don't have black magic? Can your Ministry of Magic still do something serious? Don't disturb our daily life!!"

Letters like these filled Fudge's office.

Then he realized that wizards seem to have gotten used to the days of using the mirror worth five hundred Galleons to communicate with each other in a month or two, and it has reached the point where they are not used to it... …

From thrift to extravagance!

Moreover, the communication mirror has become the communication method chosen by many wizards in just half a year, not only because it is convenient and fast, but also because it has better confidentiality, unlike owl communication and in-person apparation, which are easily controlled by the Ministry of Magic.

As we all know, the average wizard doesn't really have many secrets worth protecting.People who need this function... are not easy to mess with.

Many of them are people who work in the Ministry of Magic, or even hold high positions.There are even one or two of these people who are very interested in the position of Minister of Magic...

So Fudge soon realized that the investigation by the Ministry of Magic not only couldn't go forward at all, and even delaying time was causing trouble for himself.

Ever since, within three days, the investigation team came to the conclusion that "there is no problem with the communication mirror", and even put forward the words "the communication content is confidential and cannot be deciphered, and there is no possibility of black magic intrusion" in the conclusion report.

According to Mrs. Zabini's statement to Lu Yunkai, she spent [-] Galleons to make these words appear in the report.

Afterwards, she spent an additional three thousand to buy an advertisement space on the Daily Prophet to publish the full text of the investigation report.

This ad is well worth it.

On the first day when the communication mirror started selling again, Mrs. Zabini excitedly told Lu Yunkai that they had received the first promotion order for the communication mirror...

The well-known Nimbus company released the advertisement of the latest Nimbus series broom that will be launched next year through the communication mirror.

In that ad, Krum chases the Snitch as fast as a bolt of lightning on the latest Nimbus broom.

The slogan "fast and safe, just like a communication mirror" is the best comment on the current image of the communication mirror in the minds of wizards.

The two consecutive setbacks made Fudge put away his previous publicity again, not to mention Umbridge, who was tyrannical and domineering at Hogwarts.

Or at least, she no longer felt like she could do whatever she wanted on her own.

That's why she changed her strategy, uniting some and controlling the majority.

In the eyes of Lu Yunkai, this almost told him clearly that Umbridge and the ministers behind her did not plan to give up control of Hogwarts.

And Lu Yunkai, who was not completely sure whether he was removed from their "target list" or just wanted to "settle the score after the fall", had no way of actively cooperating with Umbridge.

Besides, in terms of personal likes and dislikes, he was really annoyed by that guy who was so old and still covered in pink, forced to pretend to be a girl but didn't have any girlish tenderness and kindness.

Even after experiencing the two incidents of forgetfulness and the communication mirror, Lu Yunkai felt that Lockhart, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts that he hated the most before, was really handsome when he thought of it now.

But seeing the people around him, from the Malfoy trio to Pansy Millicent, they all began to gradually feel that Umbridge might not be that annoying, and even began to think that she might be pretty good... Lu Yunkai really has a taste Disgusting feeling of flies.

Fortunately, I also heard from my mother that the Blaise encountered in the communication mirror shop was not here, otherwise Lu Yunkai would be even more sad.

Seeing that Malfoy got Umbridge's support and began to show off in school every day, Lu Yunkai also understood that he had no way to tell Malfoy that this was just Umbridge's temporary weakness.

Can only endure.

Then wait.

Wait for Chris to formally arrange the matter of Azkaban.

only……

Will the broken cat forget it?
Why has it been two months and there is still no movement! ?
