Chapter 148 Don’t Write a Diary
"Are you the little brat that Eli found to help me?"
"...Hello, my name is Lu Yunkai."
With a little embarrassment, Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to the fat witch in front of him.
This was the second time he saw this witch named Jorkins. Of course, this is the first time to use this face that belongs to him.
But Jokins was different from the one Lu Yunkai saw last time. The one before was still very polite, but this one now...
If it weren't for Chrissy's sake, Lu Yunkai would have turned around and left.
"Little brat? Watch your words carefully. He is now the third largest supplier of Slug and Jigs Pharmacy." Old Eli noticed Lu Yunkai's embarrassed expression and quickly interjected.
"...Do you have forget grass there?" Jokins looked at Lu Yunkai with disbelief.
"Yes." Lu Yunkai glanced at Eli.
"...I just discussed it with her, and she said that your suggestion is very good. The curse-breaking potion may indeed be more suitable to solve her current problem than the powerful memory potion."
"Do you know what your problem is now?" Lu Yunkai was a little surprised.
Generally, people who have been cast a forgetting curse don't remember what happened to them!
"Some things will be remembered very clearly inexplicably, and some things will be forgotten very quickly, and anyone else will notice something is wrong." Jorkins shook his head, "It's not like I haven't left Hogwarts yet. Graduation brat."
"...But it's almost stupid." Lu Yunkai snorted, "If I were you, I would never let others know that I discovered some of his secrets, and then be cast on the Forgetting Curse..."
"If it were you, I'm afraid you might not be able to find out who is related to this matter afterwards." Jorkins said without giving up.
Lu Yunkai was stunned and smiled.
"I looked up the original formula of the curse-breaking potion in the ministry after get off work today, what do you want?" Jiaokins saw that Lu Yunkai didn't answer, thinking that he had been silenced by him and had nothing to say, so he changed the subject with satisfaction.
"No, I have it ready-made." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, taking out a bottle of potion from his pocket.
provided by the system.
"Just take it out and say it's the anti-curse potion! The version without forgetfulness! The version with forgetfulness..."
"The cooking method is the same. You can add grass at any time, but it will be poisonous after heating." Lu Yunkai interrupted Jiaokins and took out another pot of amnesia grass from the system, "Watch it, you are innocent."
"...Where did you find this formula? I always go to the ministry library..."
"I'm a student of Slytherin. It's normal to know more than you." Lu Yunkai choked Jorkins, "Okay, if you think the amnesia grass I prepared worth hundreds of thousands of Galleons is real. , but a bottle of anti-curse potion worth only tens of gold galleons from Ziggs is fake, so go buy one yourself."
"..." Jorkins opened his mouth.
She originally wanted to complain that the curse-breaking potion prescribed by Lu Yun might not be up to standard... How did he know what I was going to say?
How did she know that Lu Yunkai often quarreled with Hermione? Her logic was reasonable and reasonable, but she started to argue with her logic when there was no reason. Lu Yunkai was simply not too familiar with it.
"Take medicine first and then pay later. No child can be deceived." Seeing that he had won the argument, Lu Yunkai decided to let it go: "Then I'll leave first. Anyway, if it works, old Eli, you can settle the bill with me later. "
"...Do you need to leave in such a hurry?" Eli felt a little sad when he saw Lu Yunkai looking like he didn't want to stay under the same roof with Jokins.
"Wouldn't it be awkward if we started arguing in a while? She doesn't know you very well, right?" Lu Yun smiled and pointed at Jokins.
"..." Eli glanced at Jorkins.
What Lu Yunkai said didn't seem to be wrong.
"Don't! What if it turns out to be as poisonous as the people in the ministry say..."
"If you're worried, don't drink it! What I sold to Eli is for ornamental use. This grass is so beautiful! Even more beautiful than orchids!" Lu Yunkai pointed to the forget grass with a smile.
Eli was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently: "The way you talk, you look so much like Jesse."
"Okay, I'm leaving. If anything happens, just ask Chris to come back with a message." Lu Yunkai spoke less aggressively to Eli. Although he was still very casual, he was obviously much more polite.
"Well, let's go." Eli smiled and waved to Lu Yunkai.
He also saw that if Lu Yunkai was allowed to stay here any longer, he might really quarrel with Jiaokins.
Lu Yunkai carried the cat out of Eli's shop and went straight to the fireplace in Knockturn Alley.
Go home and rest. I've been on the train all morning today, and I'm still quite tired.
However.
"Meow, I think that witch was just pretending." Lu Yunkai had just left Eli's shop, and Kris, who had been silent on his shoulder, suddenly spoke.
"Pretending? What are you pretending to be?"
"I saw that she was secretly looking at Eli while she was talking." Chris shook her cat head, "It seems like she was acting for Eli."
"Acting? Oh, is it to deceive that pot of grass?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it's not." Chris seemed a little helpless, "I find that I suddenly don't know Eli very well."
"Haven't you all known each other for decades?"
"But I've never heard him say that he actually has a daughter, or even a granddaughter..."
"You two are really good friends!" Lu Yunkai said to Chris in a sarcastic tone with a smile.
"Meow!!!"
Chris angrily gave Lu Yunkai two claws.
...
After Lu Yunkai gave the pot of grass to Eli, his vacation finally began, and he could finally enjoy the summer sea view.
Although this sea view has a little "additional".
The huge snake seemed to be determined to take Lu Yunkai somewhere, so it stayed in the grass outside, poking its big head out every day, facing Lu Yunkai's house.
Those who didn't know (such as Daphne who came to play with him the next day) thought it was Lu Yunkai's new pet, or a lifelike magic statue...
Originally, Daphne just came to play with Lu Yunkai, and took the stone that her sister, who said no but regretted in her heart, refused to take. But when she saw that Irene was allowed to live in Lu Yunkai's house, her face instantly became very ugly.
Well, Lu Yunkai swore that he actually thought that Daphne might misunderstand, but he also believed that Daphne would definitely accept his explanation.
Sure enough, Daphne accepted Lu Yunkai's explanation.
"Muggle-born wizards do have a harder life. But... since others can have a room in your house, why don't I have one?"
Daphne's rhetorical question was also something Lu Yunkai had guessed a long time ago.
"I've been ready for a long time! I've invited you to stay at my house several times before!"
"I don't know if you want to sleep in the same room with me or something else..." Daphne was very satisfied with Lu Yunkai's preparation, but what she said was really... no one could hear it except a sleeping cat.
That room was next to his, and Lu Yunkai also told Xueli to decorate it exactly the same as his room. In addition, after Lu Yunkai explained that Irene couldn't get to the floor where he lived, Daphne completely accepted Lu Yunkai's care for his sister who was also born as a Muggle and had taken care of him.
Of course, it seemed that in order to prove that she was the mistress of this family, Daphne didn't know how she convinced her parents and moved directly to live next to Lu Yunkai.
And her careless sister followed and lived in Daphne's room in the name of "protecting her sister".
This made Daphne a little unhappy: in her impression, she had never slept in the same bed with her sister since she was a child.
However, Lu Yunkai reminded Daphne that if he prepared a room for Astoria in this house, he would have no reason to drive that girl away in the future... This immediately stopped Daphne's idea of persuading Lu Yunkai to find a way to drive her out of her room.
In this way, a week passed quickly.
Just when Lu Yunkai almost forgot about the pot of forgetfulness that he gave away, he finally waited for the news from Old Eli.
He asked Lu Yunkai to go to Knockturn Alley again and talk in person.
Lu Yunkai was not particularly interested in this.
Anyway, according to Old Eli, whether the bottle of potion worked or not, Lu Yunkai would not be able to receive money from him, so what was the point of running there? Being a creditor or being complained about for being useless?
It was quite embarrassing.
So, Lu Yunkai arranged for Chris to go instead of him.
And Chris was very interested in being able to show off in front of Old Eli.
So even though Lu Yunkai was too busy to send it to Knockturn Alley because he was going fishing with Daphne (it only takes less than a minute to floo around), Chris still used all four legs to run all the way to London.
"Meow, Jorkins is really in trouble and has offended people. She found out that Crouch had somehow managed to get his son, Barty Crouch Jr., out of Azkaban!"
That night, Chris, who had just returned from London, told Lu Yunkai, who was joking with Daphne, the news she had gotten from old Eli in a serious manner.
"This... the antidote shouldn't be able to repair the memory deleted by the Oblivion Curse, right? How could she possibly remember it?" Lu Yunkai asked Chris in a serious manner.
He didn't avoid Daphne, who was eating next to him.
He had told Daphne about Jorkins's affairs early in the morning.
"Meow, Jorkins used to have the habit of writing a diary. She discovered Crouch's secret and wrote it down in her diary."
"...Who would write a diary if they were serious?!" Lu Yunkai looked ridiculous, "Why didn't old Crouch destroy her diary?"
"Maybe he didn't know Jorkins had such a thing." Chris shook her head, "Even she herself forgot about it after being cursed with oblivion."
"...Then, after drinking the potion, these memories that should not have been deleted by Crouch were restored, and she found them?"
"Yes! But Jorkins learned her lesson after this incident. She didn't foolishly go looking for trouble with Crouch anymore. Instead, she thought of asking Eli, whom she had always looked down upon, for help."
"Then what? Why did Eli tell me this?"
"Before her memory was restored, she could still spend her days in the Ministry of Magic as a salary thief. Now that she has remembered everything, do you think Jorkins can continue to stay in the Ministry of Magic with her personality?" Chris sighed, "Eli said she wanted to resign and leave the Ministry of Magic, but there is nothing else to do. Aren't you growing herbs here..."
"Don't!! Do you think this is a shelter!" Lu Yunkai shook his head quickly, "You didn't agree to it for me?"
"Meow, I know, you must have asked that girl named Irene to help you grow herbs..."
"...If you have something to say, just say it! Don't go looking for death!" Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne who was standing next to him with a curious expression.
This dead cat must have agreed to something that he couldn't agree to for himself!
Well! Others are owners who take their pets out to sell favors, such as letting people pet them, but this broken cat... is cheating the owner! !
"Meow, I understand. You treat Irene so well because she's pretty. Jorkins isn't really pleasing to the eye... but she's not completely useless!" Chris saw Lu Yunkai's expression as if he was going to cook hot pot with her, and quickly changed the subject. "You were squeezed by Blaise's mother before and had no place to sell your communication mirror! This time, let old Eli come forward and rent a shop in Diagon Alley, and then let Jorkins sell it for you!"
"... I don't trust that guy."
"What's the big deal! He's just an employee who helps you sell things. It's not like your magic items. You have to have a story about where they came from. Just say that you made these mirrors yourself, and who can say anything!"
"..."
"Meow, I've agreed to it for you. If you want to go back on your word, go and tell the old man yourself." Chris yawned, "I'm going to bed."
After that, she jumped off the dining table, leaving Lu Yunkai, who was in a dilemma, hanging there.
