Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 227 The Real Contract

"Are you OK?"

"It's alright!"

"...what did Umbridge tell you just now?"

Daphne asked Lu Yunkai in a low voice with a worried face.

An hour later, in the Hogwarts auditorium, the customary welcome dinner before the start of the new semester was going on.

However, for Lu Yunkai and the others, it was really unconventional to miss Dumbledore's speech before the dinner.

And just now, Lu Yunkai didn't listen to Umbridge talking about how happy this Christmas holiday was.

He kept his head buried the whole time, thinking about something on his mind.

There was something about Malfoy Manor, and there was something about what Umbridge had said to him on the platform.

His heart is very chaotic.

Looking at Malfoy who would choose to sit next to him every time like this, today he chose the most possible place far away from him, Lu Yunkai understood that this matter will give him a headache for a long time...

What is even more worrying now is the concern from Daphne.

Seeing Lu Yunkai's sullen and preoccupied look, Daphne thought it was Umbridge who bullied him on the platform just now!His expression was full of distress.

"Umbridge wants to take me under her wing."

"...Ah??" Daphne almost cried out in surprise, but fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hands.

It didn't attract much attention.

"Keep your voice down." Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Daphne.

"She recruited you?? Didn't she always dislike you?"

"How do I know!!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

Thoughts, back to the platform an hour ago.

……

"Where did you go during your Christmas vacation?"

"Me? At home! What's wrong?"

"Really? How did I hear from my colleague that during the vacation, a not-so-honest apprentice wizard went abroad..."

"If this is true, the Ministry of Magic should directly notify him to accept the review?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Umbridge, "If there is evidence, he should be expelled from Hogwarts directly, right?"

"Some evidence, if you look for it, you will find it sooner or later. And, sometimes, the evidence is not that important, don't you know that too?" Umbridge added sullenly.

"Professor, first of all, I don't know if anyone would blatantly violate the laws of the Ministry of Magic. Secondly, even if there is, it is definitely not me who is very interested in the laws of the Ministry of Magic and has studied them carefully, right?" Lu Yunkai Smilingly retorted, "Besides, if this is true, I think it is really necessary for you to allow the study group I applied for before to set up. We need to study the relevant terms more carefully and realize the seriousness so as to avoid such a situation. This kind of behavior occurs, don't you think?"

"Well, so, I think you are right, your application, I approved."

Umbridge nodded curtly.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback for a moment.

What's wrong with this...
"Not only is your application approved, but I also want to tell you." Umbridge looked at the surprised Lu Yunkai, and smiled even more happily, "As long as I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, what do you do in school?" Nothing will be held accountable.”

Quiet.

After a long time.

"What do you want?" Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and asked.

His face was full of vigilance.

"Before, you said that you wanted to work for the Ministry of Magic. I said you were not suitable. But it turns out that I might be wrong, and I was wrong very much." Umbridge shook his head with a smile, "Not only are you suitable, Even made for the Ministry of Magic."

"...Your words don't sound like you're praising me." Lu Yunkai couldn't hold back, and spit out something.

"It's not important. I just want to tell you that you passed our assessment, so... welcome to join."

"……what??"

"You are welcome to be called a member of our Ministry of Magic Staff Mutual Aid Union." Umbridge continued with a smile: "Of course, you are only a reserve member. After all, you have not yet entered the Ministry of Magic, and you have not even graduated, but I believe, These are easy things for you."

"..."

"The specific matters, of course, will be discussed after you join the Ministry of Magic. I just want to inform you that it has passed our review. What you need to do now is to obtain the documents including Defense Against the Dark Arts, Muggle Research, Some NEWTS including Charms, Transfiguration and History of Magic are excellent." Umbridge continued: "Before that, you have to pass OWLS first. As far as I know, other subjects are very good for you. Easy, but History of Magic..."

"..."

"There are still a few months before the OWLS, and there is still enough time. Show off your strength as the winner of the Triwild Cup to prove that you are worthy!" Umbridge looked at Lu Yunkai who was speechless when he called him "Of course, if you're really not sure, we can help you too. After all, the authors of the Ministry of Magic compulsory courses in OWLS this year are all our own people."

"..."

"Okay, you can go, my proposal, you think about it, if you like, come to my office next Tuesday night."

Umbridge pointed to the far side of the platform.

"... Goodbye, Professor."

……

"Yun Kai!! What are you thinking? Did you hear what I said??"

"...What's the matter, Blaise?"

A smile appeared on Lu Yunkai's face again, and he looked at his roommate next to him.

"You are really weird today." Blaise muttered, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In his eyes, Lu Yunkai's weird appearance is normal. He has seen it often: "I'm talking, last night I Mom complained to me, saying that I didn't expect that you didn't even go to see her during the Christmas holidays."

"...It's not that you told me before the holiday that your mother has been in a hot relationship recently, so let me not disturb her..."

"What a relationship! That's fooling around!" Blaise corrected Lu Yunkai's statement: "Then you should contact her anyway! She wondered if I said something bad about her in front of you last night..."

"She guessed right." Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

"Pfft..."

Daphne next to her couldn't help laughing.

"...Then you can't let her know!! Do you think I'm your buddy!"

"Just tell her that I was arrested by a mysterious person during the Christmas holiday. He forced me to hand over the control of the communication mirror and wanted to monitor the communication mirror, but I refused. To avoid suspicion, I didn't contact her." Lu Yunkai Randomly made up a reason.

"...Your excuse is too outrageous, isn't it?"

"This is true!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, and then glanced at Malfoy, who was obviously eavesdropping, although he obviously wasn't looking this way, "Thanks to the help of some people, I managed to escape, but You can just talk to your mother about this kind of thing, don't go out and talk about it."

"No one will believe you. What did the mysterious man arrest you for?" Gao Er, who was sitting opposite Lu Yunkai, smiled.

"The more outrageous the lie, the more likely people will believe it. Because no one will believe that you can make up such an outrageous lie." Lu Yunkai said seriously to Gao Er, "So, there are some things, don't mess around. Guess, because you don't know the truth."

This was for Malfoy, of course Goyle couldn't understand, he could only shake his head with a speechless smile, and stopped talking.

However, from the corner of Lu Yunkai's eyes, he saw Malfoy finally raised his head and glanced at him.

He heard?

Ok……

Well, the young master's matter can only be dealt with here.

The next one must be Umbridge's side first!

What did the woman mean by all of a sudden? ?
……

In the blink of an eye, it was Tuesday night.

Next to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Umbridge's office.

The pink decoration made Lu Yunkai extremely uncomfortable, with all kinds of small florals and lace borders.

But he tried to bear it.

On the opposite side of him, Umbridge was sitting on a chair, holding an exquisite black tea cup in his hand, smiling.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Am I eligible to refuse?"

Lu Yunkai's tone was calm.

But the anger inside is not small.

"I didn't force you. I haven't interfered with you in the past few days since school started..."

"Then you ran up and down in the divination class today... Cough cough, what are you going to do?"

"Trelawney has a good relationship with you?" Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Umbridge was taken aback.

"……she is my friend."

"friend??"

"...You went to trouble her, not to target me?" Seeing Umbridge's unexpected reaction, Lu Yunkai was also taken aback.

"Really not." Umbridge put away his smile and shook his head, "I just wanted to install a few more people from the Ministry of Magic in Hogwarts. The best thing to do is divination. Teh Lilauney's reputation among the students is the worst in Hogwarts."

"..."

"You want to protect her?" Seeing Lu Yun's silent expression, Umbridge also understood what he meant.

"Don't touch her, she is much more important than you imagined." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Aside from the mysterious man, who else would have her idea!!" Umbridge laughed. "And she doesn't remember the prophecy anymore. Even if the mysterious man catches her, it's useless."

"..."

"Why, do you think I know a lot more than you imagined?" Umbridge was amused when he saw Lu Yunkai's startled expression again, "Do you think I should also put on a show in front of my own people?" Look like you don't believe that the mysterious man is still alive? Who am I lying to!!"

"...I just didn't expect you to say such things so easily."

"If I told you that the person who helped you erase the record of going abroad is also one of us, how would you feel?"

"I guessed this." Lu Yunkai put away his shocked expression, "So, you are under the orders of the mysterious man?"

"Take orders from him? Why do you take orders from him?"

"..."

"Yes, he is indeed a very powerful wizard, with powers that ordinary wizards cannot match, but he is only one person after all." Umbridge smiled, "Even if there are only pure blood left in this world, he is not alone. He can manage it, can't he? He needs people. He needs a lot of people to help him run the wizarding world, people who don't just use spells, but understand how the wizarding world works, people like us."

"...So, no matter what Dumbledore says, or what the mysterious man says, you can all be used." Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and understood instantly.

"Of course!" Umbridge nodded with a smile. "The Ministry of Magic will always exist, and we will always exist."

"It's really despicable." Lu Yun laughed.

"Despicable?" Umbridge laughed loudly, moved the cup of black tea in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip, "You don't look like a Slytherin at all when you talk."

"Your organization is full of Slytherins?"

"Of course not! We have Gryffindors, but we also have Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. After all, if Dumbledore is really the Minister for Magic, we'd need some Gryffindors to occupy the top jobs too, wouldn't we? And they will hide under our protection when the mysterious man is in power."

"It's reasonable." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Since you are here today, you should be willing to join." Umbridge nodded, "As a congratulatory gift, I will stop the investigation of Trelawney and let her continue to eat and die at Hogwarts .”

"...Does that require me to do anything in return?"

"You?" Umbridge laughed again. "What can you do now? You haven't even entered the Ministry of Magic yet!!"

"...Then you are not afraid that I will take advantage of you and refuse to accept it?" Lu Yunkai asked curiously, "And you said I would join, so you joined? Don't you have any contract magic or something?"

"Contract magic? Do you need it?" Umbridge put away his smile and looked at Lu Yunkai playfully, "You will show up here today, which proves that you are not the kind of upright person. Once such a person has tasted The delicious taste of power is addictive. And this..."

Having said that, Umbridge took another sip of the black tea in his hand.

"...a contract stronger than magic!"
