Chapter 133 Confidentiality
"Hermione!!"
"... Lu Yunkai? You want to talk to me?"
"Well, is it convenient?"
Lu Yunkai nodded to Parvati who was following Hermione with a faint smile.
"Okay." Hermione nodded a little confused.
The two also moved aside from the entrance of the hall.
The welcome dinner at the end of the Christmas holiday has just ended.
Compared with the previous two years, there is nothing special. It seems that after Sirius was spotted in the Czech Republic, Hogwarts has returned to its original days of singing and dancing (Lu Yunkai expressed doubts about this, as if he had never been singing and dancing in the two years since he came to Hogwarts).
Even the two Quidditch teams that will play against each other next week, the players of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, talked trash to each other at the dinner.
It was relaxed and happy, and there were some normal quarrels.
Lu Yunkai seemed to have blended in well. He just said hello to Daphne when the dinner was about to end, and then ran to the door first and stopped Hermione who was about to go back to the dormitory with her bestie.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that the students who came out of the gate seemed to look at them, Hermione felt a little embarrassed and wanted to finish the story quickly.
"...Did Parvati tell you?"
"What? You and Parvati... Could it be..." Hermione was stunned.
"It's not that I have something with her, but you have something with her, right?" Lu Yunkai waved his hand, interrupting Hermione's random thoughts, "Why did you tell her about the secret room?"
"...Did she tell you? I told her not to tell anyone..."
"Why did you tell her?" Lu Yunkai's voice was a little loud.
Then he realized that his voice seemed to attract the attention of passing classmates... such as Ron and Harry who just walked out of the hall.
The two people who were talking and laughing obviously froze their smiles. They looked at the two people from a distance, as if they were struggling whether to come over and ask what was going on.
"I... why did she tell you?"
"A big snake entered her house. She and her sister were very scared, so they asked me to help drive it away... This is not the key point. The key point is, don't you know that the things in the Chamber of Secrets are top secret? That was done by Harry! As one of his best friends, it's not appropriate for you to expose him in front of others?"
Lu Yunkai waved his hand at Ron and Harry in the distance and continued.
However, he saw from the corner of his eye that although Harry was stopped by his actions, Ron didn't seem to have the intention to stop.
He walked straight over.
"Lu Yunkai, what are you doing?"
"Hermione told Parvati about the things in the Chamber of Secrets." Lu Yunkai naturally knew what Ron was doing, and looked at him coldly and said.
Stand up for your girlfriend-to-be? Can't bear to see her being wronged? ?
"..." Ron held back his anger before he could get angry.
Looking at Hermione with a shocked face.
"I... am..." Hermione was very aggrieved, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Go ahead, I think Ron won't tell his brothers about your affairs." Lu Yunkai glanced at Ron, "I know you are not a person who likes to talk nonsense, and you are much better than me in keeping secrets."
"... It was that day... Ron, can you not stay here?" Hermione looked at Ron who was awkwardly there and didn't know what to do, and was a little annoyed.
"I... well, let's go back first." Ron ran away in disgrace like a defeated rooster.
"Go ahead." Lu Yunkai sighed.
"That day in the dormitory, Lavender, Parvati and I were chatting together, and we talked about..." Hermione blushed slightly when she said this, "We talked about you and Daphne... Well, anyway..."
"Don't just say anyway." Lu Yunkai said coldly, "If you can't make me believe that you are forced to tell this, I won't dare to tell you any secrets in the future."
"...I don't have to know any secrets." Hermione was a little angry when Lu Yunkai said this, and her rebellious psychology came up.
"Don't you want to know about Sirius Black? I originally planned to tell you when the time is right." Lu Yunkai glanced at Hermione coldly.
"Sirius..." Hermione opened her mouth for a long time, then sighed softly, "Lavender said that you and Daphne always stick together at school, and you are not shy, and you look weird, and I can't see what Daphne likes about you, and you have that self-righteous feeling..."
"Get to the point!!"
"You asked me not to do that, didn't you??" Hermione snorted.
"...I'm a bitch, okay? Keep scolding me!" Lu Yunkai's forehead was black.
Don't offend women. Even a smart woman like Hermione may not always do smart things...
Lu Yunkai felt that he had been taught a lesson.
"Then Parvati said next to you, you are not as bad as Lavender said. She also said that your grades are obviously not worse than mine, and you definitely know more than me. You never steal the limelight from me, but only when there are times. Only stand up when there is danger, just like saving me in front of the mountain monster, and saving Malfoy in the Care of Magical Creatures class." When Hermione said this, her expression was slightly weird, "Then Lavender. Just say, you are just pretending, Harry protected the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry killed the basilisk. Even Ron has done more than you, so you only dare to bully Ron on the duel stage..."
"The one named Lavender also likes Ron?"
"Um... nothing??" Hermione responded.
"Nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head with a weird look on his face, "Then what? Lavender looks down on me, but Parvati is speaking for me?"
"Parvati is not talking to you! She really likes you!" Hermione said firmly: "She often asks me about you in the dormitory. Every time Lavender says something bad about you, she tells me Lavender argued.”
"...Lavender always talks bad about me?"
"Is there something wrong with your mind?? Can't you hear the key point??" Hermione's voice this time was louder than Harry's just now.
It also attracted more people to look over.
"...You have something wrong with your mind. I pretended not to hear it and you don't understand?" Lu Yunkai glanced around and complained in a low voice, "Then what? You told her what happened in the secret room??"
"Otherwise Lavender said you didn't do anything in the dungeon and the chamber of secrets... But obviously in the dungeon you passed the fire door set by Professor Snape on your own and killed the basilisk... I think she should Would be happy to know."
"If I were you, I wouldn't tell her this." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Are you encouraging your good friend to have a crush on someone who has absolutely no chance of having anything to do with her?"
"Why is it impossible? Parvati is much prettier than Daphne!!" Hermione glanced around, "Besides... I can't stand Lavender always making fun of Ron there."
"Ron is the real one!!" Lu Yunkai sighed.
"...Oh, Parvati, don't worry too much. She has a very strict mouth and will never go out and talk nonsense. The snakes you mentioned..." Hermione said this, with a little weird look on her face. "She...forget it."
"You have something to say! When did you start to be so nagging?"
"She is not afraid of snakes. When I was researching about basilisks, I asked her some ways to deal with snakes. She said that when she was a child, her family had the best snake keeper in India..."
"..."
Lu Yunkai reached out and patted his forehead.
What the hell.
Seeing Lu Yunkai's actions, Hermione smiled instead.
"Now you'd better hope that her sister is as strict as she is, otherwise if this gets out, it will have a huge impact on Harry's reputation." Lu Yunkai calmed down and got back to business.
"Padma also knows? Then I'll go back and tell Parvati." Hermione was a little surprised, but she still responded, "By the way, what you said about Sirius..."
"I think it's better not to tell you."
"...Lu Yunkai!!!"
"You can tell such a big thing just because your best friend doesn't misunderstand me. It's hard for me to guarantee that you won't tell others what I told you just because someone won't misunderstand someone." Lu Yunkai said something about himself very cryptically. worry.
At the beginning of the Christmas vacation, the message Sirius sent him made Lu Yunkai a little unsure of how to deal with the possible return of Voldemort, so he seriously thought that maybe he needed someone to help him.
It's not that he needs this person to be his secret keeper, or to help him be a thug, but Lu Yunkai suddenly thought of an interesting situation: What if Sirius and Harry's father really had an agreement to use their lives as bait? Come to destroy Voldemort. Sirius is obviously a great hero, but he has no way to prove it to himself...
Well, of course, Sirius is not like this, he was just framed, but even so, he can't prove his innocence now.
If he really followed Chris's arrangement and sneaked into Voldemort to steal the method to destroy him, then how could he prove that he was actually an undercover agent in the future?
He needs a witness.
It's impossible for Dumbledore, and Snape... I'm afraid he won't even be able to prove that he is against Voldemort. Professor McGonagall was not very close to him, and others such as Professor Sprout were even less familiar with him.
After much deliberation, Lu Yunkai really couldn't find anyone else except Harry and the others.
But telling Harry and Ron such a big secret doesn't mean sending his head to Voldemort? Therefore, the only person who can rely on is Hermione.
Therefore, it was indeed Lu Yunkai who had already thought about telling Sirius's secret and even his future plans to Hermione. He was just waiting for a suitable opportunity, such as before he decided to join Voldemort's camp...
This is why he was so shocked and angry after hearing the twin sisters say that he had killed the basilisk in the secret room, and he would not waste any time today to confront Hermione.
"Do you want me to swear?" Hermione said, her face flushed with anger, and she pulled out her wand.
"I can't ask you to swear not to tell, because maybe one day in the future, you will need to tell." Lu Yunkai shook his head.
Quiet.
"Is it really an important matter?" Hermione finally understood the reason for Lu Yunkai's caution from his tone.
"...Sirius was not the real murderer who killed Harry's parents."
Lu Yunkai sighed and said.
"What??"
