Chapter 254 Mantis
"Today is really a good advertisement for you here!"
"...I really don't think so."
Fred looked at the young customers who were followed by his parents and left the store with a serious expression.
"Why not? Such a big thing happened outside, and my child is safe and sound in the store... This is much more cost-effective than spending money to advertise on the communication mirror." Lu Yunkai smiled and patted Fred on the shoulder. .
The two were sitting on the edge of the highest shelf in the Weasley joke shop, while George was checking up on the parents coming to pick up their children at the door one by one, and then sending them out of the store.
"But today's turnover is in vain." Fred sighed, "In the next few days... probably no one will dare to come to Diagon Alley."
"There is no other way!!" Lu Yunkai also sighed lightly.
He looked out the window.
In the air not far away, a green skull was floating there, and a snake came out of the skull's open mouth.
Dark Mark.
It was clear that Voldemort had no intention of anyone else being associated with the attack.
"Alas!" Fred sighed again.
"Otherwise...you can wait to open your store. You don't have to rush to pay back the money." Lu Yunkai comforted Fred.
"That won't work." Fred refused, "Everything we say doesn't count."
"It's not that what you said doesn't count, it's..."
"And it's not about money." Fred shook his head. "At times like this, people need more joy."
Quiet.
Looking at the young Weasley family with a serious face in front of him, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a trace of respect in his heart.
Originally, in Lu Yunkai's heart, he admired these two boys who were bluffing and causing trouble everywhere when they were in school, but he also admired them from the perspective of "businessmen".
Brain flexible, honest and trustworthy.
These two boys were always taking advantage of all kinds of opportunities to make money in school, but when they lost money (such as in the Triwizard Tournament and things like "Will the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor make it to the end of the school year?" "'s opening bet) and never defaulted.
But Lu Yunkai never felt that they were very admirable people.
But what Fred said just now made Lu Yunkai suddenly feel...
The wizarding world is still worth saving.
"Then I'll go home first." Lu Yunkai patted Fred on the shoulder and stood up.
"Well. I think it should be safe outside now. Be careful on the road!"
Fred also stood up and sent Lu Yunkai to the door of the store.
George had just sent another adult wizard to pick up his child with a smile. When he saw Lu Yunkai and Fred coming down, he also smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai.
"Be careful on the road."
"Ok."
Lu Yunkai also patted George on the shoulder, and walked out of the Weasley joke shop.
The sky was blue, and there were hardly any clouds in the clear sky. Under the hot summer sun, everything should have been bright and blazing.
But the Dark Mark floating in the air lowered the temperature of the entire Diagon Alley.
When Lu Yun drove in just now, there were many more people on the empty street.
Without looking closely, Lu Yunkai could guess that they were all employees of the Ministry of Magic.
It is not advisable to stay on the street for a long time.
Lu Yunkai went directly to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
"stop!"
Suddenly a voice called out to Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai was slightly taken aback, turned his head, and looked at the person who stopped him.
A wizard who looked about four or fifty years old.
He examined Lu Yunkai.
"What are you doing on the street alone?"
"Just now I came to buy school supplies, and when I was shopping at the Weasley joke store, something happened outside." Lu Yunkai briefly explained the situation, shaking the shopping list in his hand.
The notice from Hogwarts is still very recognizable.
The wizard glanced at the notice to confirm the authenticity.
"You came here by yourself? Where are your parents?"
"I'm in the sixth grade this year, so it shouldn't be a problem to do the shopping by myself?" Lu Yunkai replied with a smile.
"Director, this child is Lu Yunkai, the champion of last year's Triwizard Tournament."
An Auror next to him came to the wizard and explained.
Lu Yunkai glanced at the Auror and smiled slightly.
Nymphadora Tonks.
"Oh." Hearing what Tonks said, the wizard nodded, looked at Lu Yunkai one more time, turned and left.
Tonks also smiled at Lu Yun, then turned around and continued to work.
Lu Yunkai hurriedly quickened his pace and walked back to the Leaky Cauldron.
The hustle and bustle of the bar had long since disappeared.
The group of wizards who were drinking and chatting here just a few hours ago have long since dispersed.
Tom was cleaning the table slowly by himself, and when he saw Lu Yunkai walking in, he smiled, but he didn't stop his work.
"What just happened?"
Lu Yunkai leaned over and asked.
"Minister Scrimgeour came to Diagon Alley just now and was attacked by the mysterious man's men." Tom said while wiping the table with a rag, "It's right at the gate of Gringotts."
"...Who did it?"
This should be the second time Lu Yunkai heard the name of the person who succeeded Fudge as the Minister of Magic. The last time was in the news published by the Daily Prophet when he was in office.
The second time, on this occasion...
It has to be said that the new minister who took over after Fudge's resignation is really insignificant.
"I heard it was Dolokhov and Avery. The Aurors have gone after them."
"En." Lu Yunkai nodded, recalling the two names in his mind.He had seen Dolokhov before, and it was the first time he had heard of the other one.
"You should go back early too!" Tom sighed softly, "Go and tell Chris to stop running around."
"I haven't seen it for days."
Lu Yun smiled and shook his head.
After Kris and Lu Yunkai confirmed that there were no soul fragments on the crown now placed in the study room of Lu Yunkai's home, it seemed to have an idea suddenly, and then ran to an unknown place.
"You really don't worry about it!" Tom shook his head with a helpless smile, "But you'd better pay attention to it."
"Well, I understand."
After Lu Yunkai thanked Tom earnestly, Lu Yunkai returned home through the fireplace.
Coincidentally, Irene, who had finished her work in the medicine field and was about to go back to her room to take a rest, walked through the lobby.
"Buy things?" Irene asked Lu Yunkai with a smile, "Why have you been here for so long?"
"Trapped in Diagon Alley." Lu Yunkai didn't have a smile on his face. "The Minister of Magic was attacked at the gate of Gringotts. Diagon Alley was closed for a while."
"...The Minister of Magic was attacked??" The smile on Irene's face was certain.
"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "The Death Eaters have become more and more arrogant. So you must be careful."
"I understand." Erin sighed softly.
"Also, I went to the magic pharmacy today, and Boss Ziggs told me that the sales of his potions are relatively average recently, so temporarily reduce the amount of herbal medicines from me."
"Is that so?" Irene was taken aback again, "Then..."
"It's okay, I just want to tell you that you don't want to deliver herbs before Christmas." Lu Yunkai saw that Irene was getting more and more panicked, and comforted him with a smile, "Now that Death Eaters are rampant outside, potions , especially the consumption of therapeutic drugs, how can it be possible to decrease? The demand will inevitably increase, okay! So it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t buy now, we will just press him for a while. You and him around Christmas Get in touch, and when the time comes, he said that because he said that the demand is not high recently, I asked you to reduce planting."
"...What do you mean?" Irene obviously didn't understand.
"That's when we will increase the price." Lu Yunkai explained simply.
"Are you sure that the demand for herbs will increase by Christmas?" Irene thought about it carefully, "There are a lot of herbs in the fields that are about to be harvested. I can find a way to delay it... Delaying it until Christmas is not a big problem."
"You can do it according to Christmas!" Lu Yun said with a smile: "If it doesn't work, just take it out and give it away."
"...Huh?? Give it away? This is no small money!" Irene was taken aback by Lu Yunkai's words, "There are tens of thousands of gold coins!!"
"To the Order of the Phoenix...well, the organization organized by Dumbledore to fight Voldemort."
"...Okay." After hearing Lu Yunkai's explanation of the recipient, Irene had no objections in an instant.
Lu Yun laughed, and then went straight upstairs.
Just as she sat down, before she had time to drink a glass of water, Chris appeared.
"Meow, where have you been?"
"Diagon Alley, I went shopping." Lu Yunkai simply explained, "What about you? Where have you been these few days?"
"Malfoy Manor."
"Huh?" Lu Yunkai was taken aback for a moment, "What did you do there?"
"Look for Nagini!" Chris jumped onto the table next to Lu Yunkai with a face of indifference.
"...What do you want her for?"
"Don't ask. It has nothing to do with you." Chris shook her head, "Meow, by the way, you went to Diagon Alley today, didn't you encounter any danger?"
"There is no... about today's attack in Diagon Alley, you know?"
"I know!!"
"..."
"Meow, what are you doing!" Chris curled up into a ball and licked her fur, "Why are you so nervous?"
"That's the Minister of Magic!! You know why you didn't tell me..."
"The Minister of Magic is not a supporter of Dumbledore. A few days ago, he was thinking about trouble with the magic mirror. Do you feel sorry for him?" Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yun.
"..."
"He can't die anyway, so let him lie on the hospital bed!" Chris said very naturally, "A Minister of Magic who can't move is much better than one who can run around looking for trouble. .”
"Is this Nagini's plan?"
Hearing this, Lu Yunkai had already grasped some clues.
"Yes." Chris nodded, "Voldemort controlled the director of the Department of Law Enforcement, and wanted to arrange for someone to get rid of Scrimgeour and then arrange for the director to take over the Ministry of Magic, and then comprehensively suppress the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Genie took advantage of the situation and made a plan to ensure that the two idiots who went to do it would not succeed, but at least they could seriously injure that useless minister."
"...All right." Hearing what Chris said, Lu Yunkai could only nod his head, "But if this kind of thing happens in the future, it's better for you to tell me first."
"It's not good for you to know more about these things, but worrying in vain." Chris glanced at Lu Yunkai, "Besides, if Nagini wants to do the dirty work by himself, let her do it! You still have to talk to her Grabbing merit or something?"
"I'm going to make some preparations! I was shocked in Diagon Alley today..."
"Don't worry, meow!" Chris yelled, "By the way, before I come back, Nagini asked me to tell you that you should contact Draco Malfoy in the next few days."
"Huh? Why?"
"Voldemort has a secret mission for him. Even Nagini doesn't know what it is. She wants you to try and ask."
"This... he doesn't trust me very much now!"
"Meow, it won't hurt if you try it." Chris shook her head, "I've been at Malfoy Manor for the past few days, and found that Malfoy is nestled at home every day, in a bad mood, you can talk to him, it's very helpful It might be a trick."
"……All right."
Although Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, he still complied.
He reached out and took out the communication mirror from the space bag.
He hesitated.
Sent a message over.
"Are you OK?"
