Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 26 Extending Life
After accepting Chris as his magic pet, Lu Yunkai slept with his pet cat for the first time.

That night, Lu Yunkai didn't sleep well, he had a strange dream.He dreamed that he was standing in a vast sea of ​​sand, dressed in rags, looking like he was about to die of thirst, and then he jumped into a bottomless black hole in front of him, surrounded by darkness, and then suddenly changed again. Bright, he fell into the desert again...

Like nesting dolls, repeated over and over again.

So when he woke up the next day, he had no energy at all.

"Meow, I thought about it all night, you better not tell Snape what happened last night."

The first words Lu Yunkai heard from Chris after waking up made him feel very relieved.

In fact, Lu Yunkai didn't go directly to Snape last night, not because he was worried about how to explain what he knew about what happened in the Forbidden Forest, but because he was worried that it would be of no use at all.

You know, wizards have a tradition of using unicorn hair and horns to make wands. No matter how sacred and pure animals are, after all, they are just animals. Especially for a Potions professor like Snape, Lu Yunkai doesn't believe him Will have a total falling out with Quirrell for the welfare of animals.

Knowing this, if Lu Yunkai went to sue again, it would be purely a joke with his own wealth and life.

It's just that the night before, seeing the angry and helpless Chris after the unicorn was killed, Lu Yunkai knew that it was useless to reason with it, and it would even make it feel like "human beings are not good things"...

Now that it has calmed down, Lu Yunkai is of course happy.

It's just that I feel even more guilty, so I also promised Chris that I must find out what Quirrell is doing.

After breakfast, he plunged into the library and searched for information.

First of all, he had to figure out what the unicorn's blood was for, which Chris didn't even know.

And this search is a whole day.Although the unicorn is a well-known magical creature, it has been mentioned in many places, but it only mentions the use of its hair and horns in making wands. As for its blood, the most mentioned is silver, What's the use, I can't find it at all.

In the end, Hermione, who returned to school after Halloween and came to the library to return books, saw Lu Yunkai, and spent 5 minutes helping him find the answer in a book she "read as a pastime before".

It was a wizard's memoir, and because it contained too much fictional content, it was classified as a novel...

"Many things in this book are not believable, just read it. But why do you suddenly care about the role of unicorn blood?"

Hermione couldn't understand a bit when she spoke, but she didn't ask any more questions, returned the book, borrowed two new books, and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Lu Yunkai that there will be a banquet in the evening, so don't get too absorbed in reading.

However, Lu Yunkai's attention had already been drawn to the book.

"Fresh unicorn blood can prolong a person's lifespan, but the drinker will also be cursed to die. After the unicorn dies, the effect of the blood will quickly disappear, leaving only the beautiful silver..."

This line of words in the book seems like nonsense to many people, but in Lu Yunkai's eyes, it is shocking.

"Extending life... What happened to Quirrell? Why is he so obsessed with life-extending things? He doesn't look very old! Why are you so afraid of death?"

After closing the book, Lu Yunkai was talking to himself.

He remembered that the Philosopher's Stone that Quirrell wanted to buy from him could also be used to make life-extending potions.

Lu Yunkai was [-]% sure that it had something to do with the face on the back of his head.

What is that face?
With such doubts in mind, Lu Yunkai left the library and returned to the common room absent-mindedly.

Then his thinking was interrupted.

The young wizard apprentices who came back from home filled the Slytherin lounge. Everyone was chatting excitedly, laughing, talking about what they encountered during the just-concluded little vacation, what delicious food they ate, and how to play. what an interesting.

And Lu Yunkai was also pulled into this party.

Blaise gave Lu Yunkai a cake baked by his mother himself, saying that it was his mother who asked him to hand it over to Lu Yunkai anyway.

And Malfoy told Lu Yunkai that his father hoped to order a batch of Quidditch teams donated to Slytherin after hearing that Lu Yunkai could get the Nimbus 2000.

For such a large order that fell from the sky, if it was before the Halloween holiday, he would definitely take it all with joy, but after these few days, especially after seeing Quirrell's ghostly appearance the night before, Lu Yun changed his mind. Be a lot more cautious.

He didn't rush to agree, but said that Professor Snape hoped that he would have less contact with friends outside the school. If he did this kind of thing again, he might be troubled by Snape.

In the past two months, Malfoy has also watched Lu Yunkai being locked up in the lounge to make potions every day after class. Hearing what he said, he can only say that he can give up temporarily, and talk about it later when he has a chance...

Just like that, after the reunion in the lounge, all the students changed into formal attire, and went to the auditorium to attend the dinner together.

It was talking about the dinner welcoming students back to school, but in fact, it was a make-up for the Halloween dinner that was messed up by the monster before.

This time, there was no troll to make trouble, and all the students who had just finished their vacation were having a good time.

But this does not include Lu Yunkai who is full of worries.

In the Great Hall, he made eye contact with Snape twice and with Quirrell once.

And these three times of eye contact, Lu Yunkai clearly felt that the two were exploring their own thoughts...

So Lu Yunkai had to maintain the state of Occlumency all night, and did not relax until he returned to the dormitory after the banquet.

Then he found that after getting used to it, he didn't seem so tired anymore.

……

In this way, the holiday ended, and Lu Yunkai returned to the life of a first-year student at Hogwarts.

Study in class every day, refine potions, chat with classmates from the same college and other colleges, and practice Occlumency unremittingly.

After all, he didn't tell Snape about Quirrell, let alone go directly to Dumbledore who didn't seem to like him very much.

That was a secret between him and Chris, which he kept down.

Hmm, maybe that centaur named Firenze knows too?

Anyway, Lu Yunkai won't mention it to anyone again.

It's just that Lu Yunkai has become an obedient student on this side, but he can't stop other restless people from causing trouble.For example, his first friend...

Harry once again became the man of the school.

Not because he's been doing very well in Quidditch: while Gryffindor has been losing lately, Harry has been admirable as a Seeker.

It was he who was criticized by the whole school for violating school rules.

For this group of wizard apprentices, it was commonplace to violate school rules or something. According to Ron's two twin brothers, no student at Hogwarts who was deducted points for violating school rules was not a normal person.

The problem is, the reason why Harry and Ron broke the school rules is so cool!

Sneak out in the middle of the night to watch Hagrid hatch dragon eggs.

Dragon eggs!This kind of thing is a legendary thing for every Hogwarts student, the curiosity is simply overflowing, okay?

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the two of them sneaked out of the dormitory in the middle of the night. They were not caught by the administrator, Mr. Filch, but were reported by others, and the informant was also reported to him for the same reason. They were punished together.

A typical example of harming others at the expense of oneself! !

And the subsequent punishment of the three of them also caused a lot of discussion among the students: the school punished the three of them to follow Hagrid to patrol the Forbidden Forest at night.

Lu Yunkai didn't know what to say about Malfoy when he watched the whistleblower Malfoy complain about the spiders he encountered during the punishment, so he could only smile helplessly and shook his head...

Of course, another thing that Malfoy inadvertently said attracted Lu Yunkai's attention even more: he and Harry saw a pool of silver blood on the woodland during the inspection, which was said to be the blood of a unicorn.

Malfoy originally said this matter with a three-pointed rigidity in order to support the scene, but it fell into Lu Yunkai's ears, and it had a completely different meaning: those things that Quirrell did, should almost be hidden. .

This made Lu Yunkai feel an inexplicable sense of urgency and anxiety: If Quirrell can't continue to use the unicorn's blood to prolong his life, will he force himself to find a way to get him the Philosopher's Stone?
Such a sense of urgency forced Lu Yunkai to spend more extracurricular time on Occlumency practice.

In any case, you must let yourself form a completely false, yet extremely real personality and memory as soon as possible!
Time is also advancing rapidly in such school life, from autumn to winter.

The pine trees were covered with thick snow.

Then, it was hung with ribbons and bells.

The Christmas holidays are coming.
