Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 304 Can't Go Back

A Burrow wedding somewhat represented a state of existence for wizards in the post-Numergardian era.

Although Voldemort was not told to disappear anywhere, and at the same time, Dumbledore, who was the banner of rebellion against him, seemed to have left without saying goodbye, no one discussed where they went.

Everyone acts as if the two of them never existed.

Even, apart from their family members, along with those members of the Order and Death Eaters who disappeared in Nurmengard, it was all forgotten.

Of course, just pretending to forget it.

As Daphne, who went to the wedding with Lu Yunkai that day, said to Lu Yunkai when she returned home, Kingsley can still become the new Minister of Magic, which shows that these people are actually still expecting Dumbledore's people to be able to protect theirs.

The wizarding world is still full of good people.

Lu Yunkai, who understands all the "mysteries" behind the change of the Minister of Magic this time, did not take Daphne's "good wishes" seriously, nor would he be so stupid as to refute his girlfriend face to face, so...

Just think that Daphne represents the truth, kindness and beauty of the British wizarding world!
And after the wedding banquet that gathered many people who were familiar with the Weasley family, which was equivalent to half of the British wizarding world, after that, this kind of "truth, goodness and beauty" seemed to have really become a mainstream.

The optimism that "all is well" spread through word of mouth among the wizards who attended the wedding.

This, of course, was what Kingsley wanted.

Just like what he said to Lu Yunkai at the wedding scene.

"We need to move into a new life and I'm here today for that."

Attending a young man's wedding in a private capacity, and blessing the two of them as a parent on it, the topics he talked about were all trivial matters.

Nothing to do with the Dark Arts, nothing to do with Voldemort.

It's all over, it's over, and the wizarding world is about to usher in a new era.

And this new era, of course, starts with new people.

For example, those students who are studying at Hogwarts.

……

"Has your new book list arrived yet?"

A week after returning from the Burrow, Daphne waved the owl letter in her hand early in the morning and asked Lu Yunkai who was having morning tea while reading today's new Daily Prophet.

It's the last day of July.Just like the usual practice every year, the owl flew to the homes of all Hogwarts students with the Hogwarts admission letter for the new school year.

"Received. I was just about to ask you if you want to go shopping in Diagon Alley today." Lu Yunkai took a sip of the black tea at hand and nodded, "There are quite a lot of things to buy!"

"That's right! The review materials for NEWTS," Daphne glanced at the letter in her hand, "It's almost twice as much as the time for OWLS!"

"This is something that can't be helped! The school was a mess last year. Nearly half of our class didn't attend much class, but it's impossible for NEWTS to give us water because of this." Lu Yun shook his head with a smile. , "If our NEWTS results this year are as bad as last year's, Snape may not be able to sit as headmaster for two years."

"Yeah! I haven't attended class for more than half a year." Daphne sighed softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to school."

"It's the last year anyway." Lu Yunkai shook his head with a smile, "By the way, have you thought about what to do after graduation?"

"After graduation?" Daphne was taken aback for a moment, then blushed suddenly, "Ah! What are you in a hurry for!!"

"..."

Lu Yunkai picked up the red car in his hand and took a sip.

I said, Miss Greengrass, I was asking about what job you plan to do after graduation, not about those things! !
Uh, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Daphne really doesn't plan to find a job after graduation...

Forget it, just pretend you didn't ask.

"But it seems that it is almost the same... Well, yes, the exorcism ceremony! You should arrange it for me as soon as possible!" Of course Daphne didn't realize that she had completely misunderstood what Lu Yun said, and continued to think about it in her own mind. Galloping in the cave: "Otherwise, I won't go shopping today, and the ceremony first..."

"Okay, hurry up and have breakfast, and then go to Diagon Alley!" Lu Yunkai interrupted Daphne's self-talk.

"Oh." Daphne pouted a little unhappily, but didn't say anything more.

In the restaurant, it was quiet.

After breakfast and tidying up, the two of them came to the Leaky Cauldron through the fireplace together.

The long tables in the bar were filled with all kinds of casually dressed wizards. Everyone was holding wine glasses, laughing and chatting in low voices. The buzzing sound echoed throughout the room, making Lu Yunkai dazed by the excitement. It's like going back to when I first came to the Leaky Cauldron six years ago.

Boss Tom was wiping the glass behind the counter, while directing the young wizards who came to work in the bar to do this and that. Seeing Lu Yunkai and Daphne appearing in the fireplace, he nodded and smiled at them.

Lu Yunkai didn't go over to chat with him more, smiled and nodded, and then dragged Daphne, who still wanted to have a drink in the bar, into Diagon Alley.

"Why is the Leaky Cauldron so lively, but Diagon Alley is so deserted?"

After passing through the stone arch at the back door of the bar, the two walked into Diagon Alley. Seeing the sparse crowd on the street, Daphne was a little surprised.

It seemed like two different worlds from the bustling crowd in the bar just now.

"Maybe we came early?" Lu Yunkai said something that he didn't even believe, "Maybe there will be more people in a while."

His eyes swept around on both sides of the road.

Why are there so few people in Diagon Alley?Because many shops are not open!

Wizards can learn that Voldemort has disappeared today, and go to the bar to drink tomorrow, but those who open a shop in Diagon Alley always have to estimate a business risk!If you feel that it is not safe enough, you would rather stay at home for a few more days...

Anyway, the rent is cheap.

Lu Yunkai cursed in his heart, and followed Daphne for a stroll in Diagon Alley.

In less than 10 minutes, I walked from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

The ice cream shop was not open, and there was no place to drink tea, but the bookstore and pharmacy were open, and the Weasley joke shop became the most beautiful kid on the street, probably all Hogg who received the owl letter today After Watts students came to Diagon Alley, they all plunged into it. There were so many people inside that Daphne, who was obviously very interested in the store, chose to pull Lu Yun through the door instead of entering.

"There doesn't seem to be anything to see." Daphne glanced at the shops at the end of the alley with disinterest, "It's so strange, where are the parents of those children?"

"Maybe you can also accompany them in the store? Many things George and Fred made are quite interesting." Lu Yun laughed, "As they said, children may not be the only ones who need happiness in the wizarding world. "

"You still take their advertisements seriously!" Daphne also laughed, and sighed, "Why don't we go to their store, buy books and go home?"

"Wait, I'll go over there and have a look." Lu Yunkai pointed to a shop at the end of the alley.

Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you use the Forgetting Curse on Ollivander? He shouldn't remember what happened at Malfoy's house before?"

"It's just that he doesn't remember the matter of the Elder Wand, and it's not that he doesn't remember me." Lu Yun laughed, "Just to say hello."

"...All right." Daphne sighed softly.

The two pushed open the door of Ollivander's wand shop one after the other.

"Welcome! Oh! Isn't this Lu Yunkai!!"

Ollivander's voice echoed in the store.

That cheerful voice was the same as what Lu Yunkai heard when he first walked into the store six years ago.

"Mr. Ollivander, are you busy?" Lu Yunkai looked at the young man standing in the store, "A freshman at Hogwarts?"

The child's height and appearance, it seems that he will enter the wizarding school this year.

"Yes. Muggle-born." Ollivander smiled and shook his head, "Just wait a moment, it will be here soon."

"No hurry." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded to a woman who was accompanying the boy who seemed to be in her early 30s, and stepped aside with Daphne.

The work of choosing wands is also the same as before. Ollivander is still doing his job very seriously, choosing the first wand for every child who has just become a wizard's apprentice.

It's just that that young man, like most children, although he is full of curiosity about everything in the magical world, obviously has little patience.

I am a little impatient with changing one after another and then waving.

And the woman standing by the side didn't have any idea about this matter, just watched her child wave the wooden stick in her hand again and again, making this weird shop a mess, and her heart was also in a state of panic, for fear Ollivander was angry, as if he wanted to buy a wand and leave immediately.

"Are you from a non-magical family?" Lu Yunkai smiled and chatted with the woman.

"...Hmm." The woman was a little nervous about Lu Yunkai's accusation, but she nodded to him politely.

"Don't worry, it will always be like this when choosing a wand. Mr. Ollivander is trying to help your child find a suitable wand." Lu Yunkai smiled and comforted the woman, "As for this store..."

Having said that, Lu Yunkai pulled out the magic wand in his sleeve and waved his hand.

"Clean up!"

With a simple mantra, the shop was restored to cleanliness.

The woman was taken aback.

And that young man couldn't even close his mouth in surprise when he saw all the things in front of him automatically return to the shelf.

Seeing the power of real magic, both mother and son felt at ease, letting Ollivander fiddle with the wand here, no longer impatient and urging, and Ollivander quickly completed it. His work, sold yet another wand of choice.

"Why did you suddenly start using murloc hair as a wand core?"

After watching the guests leave, Lu Yunkai smiled and spoke to Ollivander who was collecting money.

"I've seen what your wand does. If I'm still superstitious about the feathers of the phoenix and the sinews of the fire dragon, then I really don't deserve to be a wandmaker." A gold gallon was put into the cash box, "Are you here to buy things for the new school year in Diagon Alley?"

"Well, the exam materials for NEWTS." Lu Yunkai nodded with a smile, "This year is the last school year at Hogwarts."

"You are already in the seventh grade?" Ollivander was taken aback, then sighed softly, "How time flies!! You walked into the store and came to me with your magic wand I still remember it clearly!"

Then, as if he remembered something, he looked around Lu Yunkai.

"Where's Chris?"

"It has been busy with its own business recently, and has no time to talk to me." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Ollivander, isn't the business on this side of Diagon Alley very good recently? Why do I see a lot of shops Didn't even open the door?"

"Oh! Those shops that are not open..." Speaking of this, Ollivander had a helpless smile on his face, "The shop owners have all gone to travel across the Atlantic Ocean."

"travel??"

"Yeah! Didn't I get detained by mysterious people before? They didn't know the reason, they were all scared enough, and then they made an appointment to hang out together. I also received a letter from them a few days ago , Ask me if I want to go and see it too!"

"...No more business?" Lu Yun laughed happily.

"In fact, there are not many people who do business in Diagon Alley who are really short of money." Ollivander put away his smile, and glanced at Daphne who was also smiling beside her, "Although not as rich as you , but how you want to live in the second half of your life is enough to live. Business is just because of inertia, and they are used to not doing business, and it seems to be nothing."

"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"After this month is over, I plan to sell the store." Ollivander sighed, and continued, "I'm going to find a place to retire in peace!"

"Is that so? After that, if wizards want to buy wands again, it will not be so easy to find suitable ones." Lu Yunkai nodded regretfully.

"There will always be new people. It's like the joke shop run by the Weasley brothers." Ollivander pointed to the door, "We old things get out of the way, so they have room to show their strengths! "

"……Um."

Just then, the store door opened.

A man walked in.

"Yunkai? Why are you here?"

"I came to Diagon Alley to buy things for the new semester. Father, this is..."

Lu Yunkai looked at the person who walked in with surprise.

Slughorn.

"There's something wrong with my wand and I need a replacement." Slughorn looked at Ollivander. "Old man, is there any stock?"

"Oh, of course." Ollivander nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll go first." Seeing that Ollivander was busy, Lu Yunkai planned to leave.

"Yunkai, wait a moment!" Slughorn said to Lu Yunkai, "I have something to tell you, and I thought I'd contact you after I bought the wand!"

"...Then I'll go to Lihen Bookstore to buy books first, and then meet me at the Leaky Cauldron?"

"Alright."

Slughorn nodded.
