Hogwarts Kryptonian.

chapter 266
Malfoy went to the eighth floor to find the Room of Requirement. After his two followers followed out, Lu Yunkai didn't see them again all morning.

And Blaise, after reading the divination books next to Lu Yunkai for a while, couldn't bear the loneliness, took out the communication mirror, poked it with a magic wand for a while, didn't talk to Lu Yunkai, patted his buttocks, stood up and left lounge.

Lu Yunkai just sat in the lounge by himself from morning to noon.

When it was lunch time, I left the lounge and came to the auditorium.

However, the moment he walked into the auditorium, Lu Yunkai noticed that the atmosphere here was a bit strange.

He found that almost all the students were watching him secretly, but when his eyes swept over, those students bowed their heads again, pretending to be eating.

"Damn Snape. It's killing me."

Lu Yunkai sat down at the long table in Slytherin while despising the man who brought him to this stage.

And Malfoy, who was following behind him, quietly slipped into the auditorium.

"Draco, where have you been?" Goyle, who had already been eating in the auditorium, saw Malfoy coming in behind Lu Yunkai, and asked quickly, "Why can't we find you?"

"Not going anywhere." Malfoy glanced at Lu Yunkai who was sitting there, then moved to his side and sat down.

Gore, who was ignored by him, was taken aback.

"Have you found it?" Lu Yunkai asked Malfoy in a low voice.

"Hmm. What a nice place. Thanks."

"Don't be so polite to me."

The conversation between the two was so low that not even Crabbe, who was sitting across from them, could hear what they were saying.

"Draco, I think we need to talk."

Just when the two were about to say something more, Pansy, who was sitting not far away with red eyes, spoke to Malfoy.

"I have something to do, let's talk about it later." Malfoy waved his hand.

Quiet.

Pansy's tears fell again.

Malfoy turned his head away from her.

In the auditorium, the atmosphere was weird.

Lu Yunkai decided that it would be better to finish his lunch as quickly as possible and escape from the auditorium.

however.

Just as Lu Yunkai buried his head and tried hard to cook, someone in the auditorium shouted his name loudly.

Lu Yunkai instinctively raised his head and looked over.

It was Dean Thomas, a sixth-year Gryffindor student who hadn't been in Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning.

When Lu Yunkai was about to ask him what he was going to do, Dean Thomas suddenly stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and began to applaud.

Seamus Finnigan, who was next to him, also stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and whistled at the same time.

At the table at Hufflepuff College, Justin Fenriely and Hannah Abbott also applauded.

Then, Ravenclaw's Michael Corner and Lisa Dupin.

And then……

There was applause throughout the auditorium.

Huge applause.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

So, what happened in the morning was known to everyone?

... Come on, damn Dumbledore, you win.

When watching the students in the entire auditorium applauding for their thanks, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt his nose a little sore.

Some people are really worth it.

long time.

"thank you all."

Lu Yunkai, who finally got his mood together, stood up and bowed seriously to the students in the auditorium.

Then, he sat down again and picked up the corn at hand again.

"Hey, our hero." Blaise, who was sitting opposite Lu Yunkai, smiled and applauded, and teased Lu Yunkai with a smile.

“…everyone can be a hero by fighting for what we believe in and what we want to protect.”

Lu Yunkai said something in a low voice.

But spread throughout the auditorium.

"Just pretend." Blaise smiled speechlessly and shook his head.

……

Although he understood that the students' attention to him was well-intentioned, Lu Yunkai still didn't like the feeling of being stared at, so he finished his lunch as quickly as possible and fled the auditorium.

And when he left, neither Snape, nor the Carrows, who had swaggered past dinner and this morning, were in the Great Hall.

The afternoon of the first day was Muggle Studies.

In previous years at Hogwarts, the class was taught by a well-meaning Muggle-friendly Professor, Caredy Bubbaji.

And Lu Yunkai is also a student she likes very much: after all, Lu Yunkai knows more about Muggles than even her professor.

But now there is a sudden U-turn, and in exchange for a professor who can guess with his toes, he is full of malice towards Muggles. Lu Yunkai is very sure that on the first day of the new school year, he will send two Hogwarts students to him. The new professors all offend the light...

But he seems to worry too much.

When Lu Yunkai came to the Muggle Studies class in the afternoon, he did not see Alecto Carrow.

Even a large group of sixth grade students waited in the classroom for a long time, but they couldn't wait for the female Professor Carlo, so they could only leave the classroom full of complaints.

It was not until evening that they met the new Muggle Studies professor in the Great Hall.

She looked very embarrassed.

The hair is not as neat as it was before, as if it was cut by a knife, it is messy, and there is even a wound on the face from nowhere...

And her brother Amycus wasn't much better.

The expressions of the two were very gloomy, making the atmosphere in the entire auditorium very depressing.

Even at the end of the meal, the two didn't even jump out, demanding that all the students must return to the lounge as a team.

It seemed that Lu Yunkai had won.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

Because when he left the auditorium after dinner, he crossed eyes with Amycus.

What he saw in Amycus' eyes was not emotions like fear or fear.

but a kind of...

Vicious.

What else do these two guys want to do?

Lu Yunkai, who returned to the dormitory, hadn't had time to look at the Potions and Divination books to be taught tomorrow, when he was notified that Dean Slughorn was looking for him.

With some curiosity and instinctive anxiety, Lu Yunkai came to Slughorn's luxurious office.

Slughorn, in his silk pajamas, was eating some kind of refreshment.

"Come here? Want to try the cake?"

"...No need. Father, is that why you called me here?"

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Slughorn glanced at Lu Yunkai, put down the silver fork in his hand, wiped his empty mouth with a napkin, and then looked at Lu Yunkai, "You got into trouble today ,do you know?"

"Snape forced me." Lu Yunkai replied casually.

"No. Do you know what I said about you?" Slughorn smiled, then sighed slightly, "You think I said you shouldn't fight Amycus in class?"

"……Is not it?"

"Severus greeted me, saying that both Dumbledore and the mysterious man want you to fight Amycus." Slughorn sighed softly, "Aren't you still Know?"

"...I guessed it, but I don't understand why."

"Think about it slowly, I won't tell you the answer to this matter." Slughorn shook his head, "This weekend, I will hold a party at the Slug Club, and a group of children I invited will come. You , come too."

"...I'm not interested in parties or anything."

"Idiot! Even Tom Riddle never refused my invitation back then!" Slughorn reprimanded Lu Yun, "Go back and think about it!"

"...Father, can you tell me something directly? I... I'm not in the mood to think so much." Lu Yunkai was also a little annoyed, and his words were not so polite.

"You!!" Slughorn sighed, "Do you know why the wizarding world is afraid of You-Know-Who?"

"...Because he is ruthless."

"Yes. He is ruthless enough." Slughorn nodded, "He will mercilessly destroy all his enemies, and try his best to kill them, even a baby who is still in the swaddle. But all of this is entirely based on his own judgment."

"Then he was killed by that baby." Lu Yunkai complained silently, "He's self-willed."

"In contrast!!" Slughorn glared at Lu Yunkai, and continued: "Even Grindelwald used magic instead of his inner judgment when choosing followers. As long as he can He's willing to accept magic that's against him, even Muggles. Do you see the difference?"

"So... is it because Voldemort is more unpredictable?" Lu Yunkai finally understood.

"Yeah!" Slughorn nodded, "What Grindelwald wants is to oppose the International Statute of Secrecy, but what is the International Statute of Secrecy? It's a law that's out there. To abide by or object to, everyone can follow their own laws." But the mysterious man is different. He claims to be purifying the blood of wizards, but in fact, all he wants is obedience, absolute obedience... and what you did today violated his taboo. "

"..."

Lu Yunkai didn't know what to say for a while.

Absolute obedience?Just a few years ago, I used to talk nonsense in front of him, getting him used to taking advice from others!If this is a taboo, how did I survive until now?
"He is my student, as well as Dumbledore's. We all watched him grow up." Slughorn sighed softly, and continued: "Even compared to the time when he entered the school Watch out for his Dumbledore, Tom and I know him better, and I know him better... Well, at least the one he'd let me know. You led a crowd against Amycus in class, you did That's right, but the mistake you made was to give him a chance to complain to the mysterious person."

"Then is it possible that I still want to kill him?" Lu Yunkai was speechless.

"Or from the perspective of the mysterious man, at least use spells or other methods to control him." Slughorn nodded, "If you can't completely defeat the enemy, don't become an opponent. This is why the mysterious man endured for more than ten years. Appearing is the key to ruling the entire British wizarding world. Any opportunity for opponents to resist is a threat to oneself."

"This is the mysterious person's point of view, not mine." Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously.

"But he's training you as his successor." Slughorn smiled. "He wants you to continue his career, in a different way. So he's preparing you."

"...to buy the hearts of Hogwarts people??" Lu Yunkai finally understood.

"Yes. But Dumbledore... After all, he has more knowledge and understanding of people's hearts, so he chose to use his tricks." Slughorn nodded, "You think you did something amazing today, but in fact , are just their pawns."

"...I don't think I've done anything great." Lu Yunkai shook his head in a bad mood.

Who in a normal person would be happy to be used as a pawn?

Apart from Harry, Lu Yunkai didn't know anyone else.

"You don't have to be unhappy." Seeing Lu Yunkai's appearance, Slughorn smiled, "I came to you today not to tell you that you were tricked by the two greatest wizards of our time. I believe With your knowledge and intelligence, you should be able to figure it out quickly, and I just want to remind you that not everyone is qualified to be a chess piece that these two people compete for."

"Should I still be happy?" Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly.

"Of course! It's an honor!" Slughorn put away his smile, and sat upright from the position of leaning on the sofa, "Besides, they are all giving you something, you don't want it, I'm sorry yourself?"

"deliver??"

"The mysterious man sent someone to look at you, and Dumbledore just wanted to give you Hogwarts..." Slughorn smiled, "And both of them are doing something very important for you." You didn't realize it at all."

"……what?"

"Pull you out of the quagmire of the Ministry of Magic." Slughorn sighed softly, "I heard that you have also got in touch with that wizard mutual aid association in the Ministry of Magic? You even helped Umri Chi sent a letter of excuse to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Ah."

"Then you should also know what kind of people the Ministry of Magic is now? Do you really think that people like you can stay in the Ministry of Magic?"

"...I really don't like that group of people." Lu Yunkai sighed, "So Dumbledore asked me to stay at Hogwarts, and I agreed without thinking about it. Now I understand why Dumbledore You suddenly mentioned this to me..."

"So!" Slughorn leaned back in the chair again, "Understood this, think again, you didn't beat Amycus in class today, and you gave him to complain to the mysterious man Did you make a mistake? Will the mysterious person think you are incompetent? And have you also planted the root of disaster for yourself?"

"..."

"Go back. Tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the brothers and sisters will fight back. The next time you deal with it, don't do it again." Slughorn smiled, " I'm looking forward to seeing your performance."

"...Father, don't you give me some advice?"

"Suggestion? My suggestion is to figure out that you are still just a pawn, so you must let yourself try to achieve the goal of the chess player who wants to use you without being given up. Then, accumulate your own strength and compete with the two players." When a chess player loses control of the game, he becomes a new chess player."

"...can you say something I can understand?"

"Preserve your strength and show your ability." Slughorn said with a smile: "When you are placed on both ends of the scale with Harry Potter, or the Carrow brothers and sisters at the same time, you are heavier, that's enough. As for your ability to save your life... I've heard of it, so I'm not worried."

"I heard? How did you hear that?"

"Why do you think that the Skyfire Potion, which is so powerful and not restricted by the Ministry of Magic, is almost lost?" Slughorn sighed softly, "Its users almost never get out of it. But I heard that you have used it several times..."

"……I understand."

"Yeah. Be sure to come on the weekend." Slughorn nodded. "This is your first step, understand?"

"Yes."

Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

"By the way, more importantly, remember to call the little girl from the Greengrass family."

"... She is afraid that you will dislike her, so she dare not see you."

"Do you think I despise her?"

"Shouldn't..."

"Then you won't tell her?"

"She doesn't believe..."

"Then I'll tell her myself!"

"Oh."
