Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 247 Master and Servant
"Do you support the pure blood of wizards??"

After Lu Yunkai heard Slughorn's evaluation of himself, he was stunned for a while before finally getting such an answer.

If he hadn't supported (or at least not opposed) Voldemort's claim, Slughorn would never have said so when he said that Voldemort had chosen him as his successor.

But just now, Slughorn still showed extraordinary admiration for Harry's mother, a Muggle-born witch!Isn't it right? ?

"Of course not." Slughorn waved his wand, cast a protective spell, and said, "Do you really think that what Tom wants to do is to make wizards pure-blooded?"

"...So, you are in favor of the abolition of the International Statute of Secrecy?"

"No real wizard likes that kind of thing. Otherwise, why do you think that Grindelwald could gather so many people around him?" Slughorn did not deny this time, "If he was not too domineering back then , touched the cheese of some people... At that time, no one actually believed that he would fail."

"..."

"Tom is too extreme." Slughorn continued: "When I was at Hogwarts, I found that he was too purposeful in doing things. When a person can remain objective and calm, this It is a very valuable quality that is enough to make people succeed, but when a person loses his composure and hopes for the best results in everything he does, he will become..."

"Eager for quick success." Lu Yunkai nodded and interrupted.

"Yes. In order to gain the fastest success and attention, he chose the easiest path." Slughorn nodded, "his ancestor Salazar Slytherin could not take the path." .”

"I think it's not just because of his eagerness for quick success, but also because he really thinks that wizards need pure blood?" Lu Yunkai somewhat disagreed with Slughorn's statement.

"This is where Tom is pitiful." Slughorn sighed. "He has always felt inferior because of the blood of his father who hated wizards and magic, so he can only keep emphasizing his mother's stay." The half blood that was given to him. And in order to make everyone feel that he doesn't care about his father's blood at all, his enthusiasm for the pure blood of wizards even exceeds that of almost all real pure blood wizards..."

"En." Lu Yun nodded.

This kind of mentality, Lu Yunkai can understand a little bit.

Just like him, because he was a Slytherin, Lu Yunkai rarely mentioned his Muggle origin.Most of the time, he (and most of the Hogwarts students as well) only emphasized his status as the adopted son of Slughorn.

But in his heart, he really cared about this matter.Whether it is fabricating the identity of a descendant of King Solomon, or being a Quidditch captain or prefect in Slytherin, it is actually because of this.

"He had many better ways to achieve what he wanted to do, but because he was blinded by his own feelings and made too many enemies, he was doomed to failure." Slughorn seems I also understood Lu Yunkai's thoughts, so I didn't say any more on this matter, and changed the subject, "But he actually chose you as his successor, it seems that he has already realized this problem, it's just that he himself may There is no way to change it.”

"There's nothing that can't be changed..."

"Why did his followers become Death Eaters?" Slughorn asked Lu Yunkai back.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback for a moment and remained silent.

"This is also a meaningful reference for you. I think Tom must think so too." Slughorn continued, "Whether you are going to go on the road of opposing the International Statute of Secrets in the future, you have to Be cautious. Because once you express your attitude, don’t hesitate. Otherwise, even if others won’t remember, you won’t forgive your own choice.”

"You mean, I should take over?" Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes.

"Of course it's up to you. If you think the current situation is good, then continue like this. Being a Potions professor at Hogwarts is also a good choice."

"...Just like you?" Lu Yunkai suddenly understood something.

"But if you don't like the International Statute of Secrecy and are determined to change it, then you'd better learn from the lessons of the two of them." Slughorn didn't answer Lu Yunkai's question, but just smiled, " But I suggest you, no matter what choice you make, don't change it halfway, otherwise, even if others won't remember it, your own heart won't forget it. I don't want my son to live like Albus in the future. "

"...What does Dumbledore look like? What does it look like?"

"Albus used to be Grindelwald's most solid ally. At the beginning, the two even formed a blood alliance in order to oppose the International Statute of Secrecy. Later, Dumbledore stood on the opposite side of Grindelwald because his younger brother Abu Forth opposed Grindelwald, and then accidentally injured their sister in the battle with Grindelwald, so Dumbledore made up his mind to turn against Grindelwald."

"……what??"

This was the first time Lu Yunkai had heard of this.

This... is too absurd, right? ?

Lu Yunkai suddenly saw Chris's cat face in his mind.

When talking about Dumbledore, the cat always looked disgusted, and always said that Dumbledore would be "woke up in the middle of the night"...

"Although Dumbledore is the leader of the magic world that everyone expects, he can't pass this test in his heart, so he can only hide in Hogwarts." Slughorn continued, "I just hope you Don't be like this in the future."

"You really think highly of me."

"I'm still very accurate in seeing people." Slughorn laughed: "I've been a teacher all my life, and that's all I can do."

"Then... can you give me some advice?" Lu Yunkai asked, "Are you going to go down this road?"

"Since you're already thinking this way, it means that your heart is already moved." Slughorn shook his head, "It's because of some reasons that you can't make up your mind."

"..."

Lu Yunkai did not refute.

In fact, when Lu Yunkai came back from Europe that day, Grindelwald was indeed tempted by Lu Yunkai.Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to watch Irene's work for a long time in a nervous manner.

This matter was suppressed by him, but it didn't mean that he felt that it was wrong.

Even if wizards aren't supposed to ride on top of Muggles, they shouldn't have to hide, should they?
"And since you're clearly moved but still undecided, I'll advise you that it's better to give up." Slughorn looked at Lu Yunkai's appearance, smiled and sighed, "What do you care about? If you can stop your current decision, it can appear in front of you at some point in the future and tell you what you missed. Those things can make you hesitate now, and they will definitely make you toss and turn in the future. So, you just need to Ask yourself two questions, one, what exactly do you want, and the other, what exactly can you give up. If you don't know one of these two questions...then I suggest you spend more time at Hogwarts Wait a few years and think about it."

"...If I can't figure it out all the time, just keep thinking about it?"

"The best thing about being a professor at Hogwarts is that as long as you don't resign voluntarily, no one will drive you away." Slughorn said with a smile, "You think Dumbledore wants you to stay after graduation?" At Hogwarts, is it because the school really lacks a Potions professor? I think one of the things Dumbledore regrets most in his life is that he let Tom leave Hogwarts to wander outside, and he thought again Going back to Hogwarts on a path that everyone regrets."

"...I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Okay, I'm leaving first. We won't be in touch again during the summer vacation." Slughorn waved his wand again, canceling the magic he had just set up, "See you at Hogwarts."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai also stood up.

……

Sending his adoptive father to the door, Slughorn disapparated away with a smile.

Lu Yunkai stood by the courtyard wall for a long time before returning to the living room with his head down.

Chris lay on the chair where Slughorn was sitting just now, watching Lu Yunkai who walked in.

Lu Yunkai was silent.

"Meow, what's the matter? What did you just say?"

"...you didn't listen?"

"I know you don't want me to listen." Chris shook her head.

"Then you still ask me?"

"Because you look like you need someone who can listen to you, meow, you can't tell anyone except me, right?" Chris yawned, "Speak, I'll listen .”

"……Um."

Lu Yunkai sat on the stool, picked up the black tea cup, and took a sip.

But it was still silent.

Chris didn't urge Lu Yunkai, didn't even talk to her, she just lay quietly on the chair.

After a long time.

"Can you tell me about Dumbledore?" Lu Yunkai's voice sounded deep, "You should know a lot about him, right?"

"...Meow?" Chris looked up, with some doubts in her voice, "Why did you suddenly think of this? Didn't you tell your adoptive father about your past?"

"We're talking about Voldemort and Dumbledore. And Grindelwald." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "My past... He obviously doesn't want to mention it, so I won't ask."

"Why don't you ask? Don't you wonder how you came to England?"

"Curious! How can I not be curious!" Lu Yun laughed, "A Slytherin house head who opposes the International Statute of Secrecy actually went to the East to adopt a Muggle orphan whose parents died... But the problem is, he Don’t tell me, can I use Legilimency to force him to say it?”

"Meow?? Against the International Statute of Secrecy??"

"Is this not normal for a Slytherin head?" Lu Yunkai asked back.

Chris is quiet.

really……

"So, just don't ask." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "It's better to say something he is willing to talk about. For example... his relationship with Voldemort."

"Did he tell you about the Horcrux?"

"Inside." Lu Yunkai pointed to the Pensieve.

"Meow?? Then why don't you hurry up and see... Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid that after reading it, I will find out that it was my adoptive father who cultivated Voldemort, making him become what he is now step by step." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then... I don't know what to do anymore."

"Meow? Your adoptive father cultivated it? Do you still think that your adoptive father taught Voldemort how to make Horcruxes??"

"I'm just afraid." Lu Yunkai didn't deny it, "If that's the case, what should I do?"

"..."

"So!!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "I'd rather listen to Dumbledore's story now. Just now my adoptive father said that Dumbledore also opposed the International Statute of Secrecy?"

"Even now, Dumbledore is not a supporter of the International Statute of Secrecy, is he? On what occasion did you see him support the isolation policy for wizards and Muggles? Not only did he not, but under his promotion, Muggle research It has become a compulsory course at Hogwarts, and even many departments of the Ministry of Magic have requirements for the NEWTS grades of Muggle studies." Chris continued, "He just doesn't agree with Grindelwald's killing of Muggles and The attitude of slavery does not mean that he supports wizards to hide, meow!"

"This one……"

It seems to be true.

"Meow. I suggest you not to delve into this matter any further." Chris looked at Lu Yunkai's silence, and tried to make her tone more positive: "After you really become the most powerful wizard It’s better to think about this kind of problem again. The most important thing for you now is to make yourself stronger, so that when other wizards oppose you, you can choose force, instead of using opinions to force you to accept his attitude. "

"Hmm. But is this... different from a dark wizard?"

"Of course there is, meow! Will Voldemort give others a chance to convince him?"

"..."

Lu Yun laughed.

"Meow, well, don't think about it. If you really don't want to read this memory, put it away and read it after you know your adoptive father for a while." Chris glanced at the Pensieve, Said: "When you won't be changed by his appearance in that memory."

"……I understand."

Lu Yunkai nodded and put away the Pensieve.

"Meow, well, it's getting late, you should rest too. I'm going back to sleep." Chris jumped off the stool and stretched herself.

"Go to sleep! I'll try to summon the Demon God once."

"Meow?? Didn't you just decide not to summon the Demon God for a short time a few days ago?"

"I also want to hear the Demon God's opinion on this matter!" Lu Yun said with a smile, "Use it as a reference!"

"Meow! Is there any good reference for the views of those monsters..."

"And you also said it! I need to become stronger as soon as possible. They are the origin of magic! Isn't it more efficient to learn magic from them?"

"... Meow, let's go! I'll go with you."

"what?"

"I have to keep an eye on you, don't be polluted by black magic!"

"no thanks……"

"Meow!!"

"...you can go if you want."

Lu Yun laughed.

Heart warm.

Well, fortunately, I have such a cat...
