Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 246 Father and Son
"Your house..."

"My partner bought it from the Shafiq family, and it came from the right place, don't worry."

"……Um."

Slughorn looked at the house belonging to Lu Yunkai in front of him with a strange expression, and seemed to have no idea what else to say for a while.

And on the fence, the ugly cat with mottled fur was squatting, staring at him, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"This cat...is your magic pet?" Slughorn looked at Chris, "...this is not an ordinary cat!"

"Well, Soul Eater Lynx." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"...Soul Eater Lynx?? Merlin's beard!! Where did you get such a..."

"It was the one who took me out of that beer hall. If it hadn't given me this wand and helped me get out of that crappy place, I don't know if I'm still washing dishes there, or if it has been I'm starving to death." Lu Yunkai complained very directly.

Slughorn froze.

"Actually... I went to the beer hall on the day you left. I should have arrived earlier that day, but I was a little delayed because I met Death Eaters on the way." Slughorn explained, " You were gone by the time I got there."

"En." Lu Yunkai did not express any objection to this, he chose to believe it.

After all, Snape recognized his identity in the first Potions class, and if Slughorn hadn't been paying attention to him, this matter would not have happened so quickly.

"Meow, I recognize him." Chris raised her paw and pointed at Slughorn, "Is he your adoptive father?"

"...The previous owner of this cat was Jesse, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron." Lu Yunkai continued to introduce Chris to Slughorn.

"Oh! It's Jesse's Soul Eater lynx! No wonder!" Slughorn nodded, "Then your luck is really good!"

"It's okay, please come in... well, this house doesn't have a courtyard door, so if you want to get in, you have to climb over the wall." Lu Yunkai supported the low courtyard wall with both hands, and turned inside with all his strength.

Slughorn used a levitating spell, and with a slight jump, he jumped over the courtyard wall.

The two walked into the room together.

"Xueli." Lu Yunkai called out.

"Master." The house-elf appeared in response.

"Go arrange a room."

"Yes."

Shirley bowed to Lu Yunkai and Slughorn, then disappeared.

"There are house-elves in this house? You... are very nice." Slughorn had a smile on his face.

"It's okay." Lu Yun laughed, and then led Slughorn into the living room.

The host and guest are seated, black tea and snacks.

Lu Yunkai's manner of hospitality is impeccable.

"You're doing better than I imagined."

Slughorn took a sip with a beautiful black teacup in his hand, then sighed softly, and said.

"It's okay. I'm lucky." Lu Yun laughed.

"No one can do this by luck alone." Slughorn shook his head. "You don't have to be polite in this matter."

"Okay." Lu Yun nodded, no longer polite.

"Don't worry, I won't come to disturb your life." Slughorn continued: "You will be a very outstanding boy, since Severus told me that you sold a drop in Slytherin After the Phoenix cried, I understood."

"..."

"I won't interfere with your secrets." Slughorn looked at Lu Yunkai and smiled, "I knew you had secrets from the time I first saw you in the orphanage. .I never asked, did I?"

"...I have long forgotten about such a long time ago." Lu Yunkai's words are true.

His previous memories were really vague.

The plastic dagger handle that was dug out of the old house in Liverpool is still lying in his space bag!
"I know you must have a lot of things you want to ask me." Slughorn continued, "You ask, I know, and I try to tell you as much as possible."

"When Riddle asked you about the Horcrux, what exactly did he say?"

"..."

"what happened?"

Seeing that Slughorn was stunned by his own question, Lu Yunkai was also a little puzzled.

"I thought you would want to ask about your past." Slughorn smiled wryly, "I didn't expect you would want to ask this."

Lu Yunkai remained silent.

for a while.

He took out the crown from his cloth bag and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

"This thing looks familiar."

"Ravenclaw's diadem." Lu Yunkai nodded, "It has been made into a Horcrux by Riddle."

"..." Slughorn froze.

"I came into contact with the first Horcrux he made when I was in the first grade. It was a notebook." Lu Yunkai said in a low voice: "That notebook wanted to control me, but because it underestimated me to Chris... Well, it was the cat's trust, so it failed. Then, the notebook controlled a little Weasley girl in the second grade and released the basilisk..."

"Severus told me that you killed the basilisk." Slughorn nodded, but his expression still looked shocked, "You mean that Tom made these two things Horcrux??"

"Yes." Lu Yunkai took out a bottle of bursting corrosion potion from the interspatial bag, and threw it on the coffee table without saying a word.

The tea table quickly dissolved and disappeared, turning into a pool of black water, but the Ravenclaw's crown placed on it was not even contaminated by the potion except for a few slight vibrations.

Clean is outrageous.

Lu Yunkai waved his wand, the residue of the potion disappeared, and a new table appeared, and the crown was placed on the table again by him.

During the whole process, the room was unbelievably quiet.

Of course, Lu Yunkai understood that it is impossible for a person like Slughorn not to know about bursting corrosion potion, and it is even more impossible not to know the great power of this seemingly low-key potion, so there is no need to explain.

Slughorn, who was sitting there, watched Lu Yunkai's operation, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

"I heard from Dumbledore that Riddle trusted you the most when he was at Hogwarts." Lu Yunkai broke the silence, "For him at that time, it was impossible not to consider this when he wanted to make a Horcrux. The things are carried out as the last resort to save life. But his first Horcrux was actually just an ordinary notebook... That is to say, when he was making the Horcrux, he knew from the beginning that he would definitely not just Make one. But the book on making Horcruxes doesn't state that it can be made into many pieces..."

"Your thinking is very clear."

Slughorn interrupted Lu Yunkai.

Obviously, he didn't want to hear what Lu Yunkai had to say.

Lu Yunkai chose to shut up.

Just watched Slughorn quietly.

"I don't want to mention this matter, but you must force me?"

"I have dealt with Riddle a lot, and he is indeed a person who has insight into people's hearts." Lu Yun laughed, "Even if I didn't like him from the beginning, and there was a dog beside him who always reminded me not to be deceived by him." The cat that has been killed, almost fell into his way several times... Even if you are deceived by him, it is not a big mistake."

"That's a lot of lives!!" Slughorn sighed.

"Even if it wasn't for making Horcruxes, he would still mercilessly kill those who should be killed." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "So, what did he tell you about Horcruxes?"

"I don't want to tell you." Slughorn shook his head resolutely, "I don't want you to get involved in this matter."

"The current time is not very convenient." Lu Yunkai raised his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, otherwise I can introduce you to someone who has a master-servant contract with me.

"...who?" Slughorn was a little puzzled when Lu Yunkai suddenly changed the subject.

"A woman named Nagini. She is the most trusted person around Voldemort." Lu Yunkai said with a smile, "A blood curse orc, but after I lifted the blood curse on her in some way, she became my servant. Now she is still working for Voldemort by his side... Of course, she is also my undercover agent."

"..."

"In addition to this." Lu Yunkai pointed to the crown on the table, "Do you think there is any possibility for me to stay out of it?"

"... Forget it. You choose the path yourself, you can walk on it yourself!"

With a long sigh, Slughorn used his wand to remove a bit of silver thread from the side of the eye.

Without delay, Lu Yunkai took out the Pensieve directly from the interspatial bag.

"The Pensieve? You actually have such a rare thing??" Seeing what Lu Yunkai took out casually, Slughorn was taken aback by the hand holding the wand.

"If you have money, it's easy to buy something." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, and then took the memory that Slughorn handed over.

"Okay." Slughorn took a deep look at Lu Yunkai and stood up, "I'll go first."

"It's getting late, today you..."

"No need." Slughorn shook his head, "I'd better find another place to live! After all..."

"I also have other things I want to ask you." Lu Yunkai interrupted Slughorn, "For example, my room in Liverpool's home..."

"I cast a little spell, only you can go in, and only once."

"The hilt of the sword I hid in the room..."

"You brought it here from the east, and I don't know the exact origin. It's just that you have treasured it since you were a child, so I will follow you."

"Is that so?" Lu Yunkai nodded silently.

The memory of that sword hilt is completely lost!
"Any more questions?" Slughorn smiled.

"Actually, there are many more." Lu Yunkai was silent for a while, "But after school starts, I should still have a lot of time to ask you for advice, right?"

"Of course." Slughorn nodded.

"Then what did you want to tell me when you came with me just to see how I am doing?" Lu Yunkai asked again.

Quiet again.

After a while, Slughorn smiled.

"Well, I'm much more relieved when you look like this." Slughorn smiled for a while, and sighed softly, "You are more alert than you can imagine."

"And you don't say it now...you hoped that I would not get involved in Voldemort's affairs from the very beginning, right?" Lu Yunkai tentatively expressed his guess.

"Yes. But you seem to have sunk into it very deeply." Slughorn glanced at the crown and nodded, "If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do to stop you."

"Um……"

"But you have to understand that I still hope that you can live in peace and stability." Slughorn said seriously: "The matter between Albus and Tom is not clear, but I want to Let me tell you, it's not that simple. After you got involved..."

"... Voldemort took me to meet Grindelwald. He said that I look like Grindelwald. And Grindelwald said that Voldemort probably wants to train me as his successor." Lu Yunkai interrupted Si Laghorn's words.

Again, quiet.

Standing there, Slughorn looked at Lu Yunkai in disbelief.

long time.

"It turns out that you are my best collection for so many years." Slughorn sighed softly, and a smile that Lu Yunkai could confirm was gratifying appeared on his face.

"you……"

Lu Yunkai was stunned.
