Chapter 163: Divine Horse

The weekend in Hogsmeade was a constructive and victorious weekend for Lu Yunkai.

With the help of Blaise, the "inner ghost", he achieved a staged victory in the battle with Mrs. Zabini.

And he also had an "unexpected" gain.

Daphne, who was watching him discuss business with Mrs. Zabini, seemed to have a subtle change in her attitude towards Lu Yunkai.

If she had been confused about Lu Yunkai before, admiring her with a bit of "I think I just like him" and unexplainable feelings, she had seen Lu Yunkai chatting in front of the famous witch in England. , and when talking and laughing, she looks like Lu Yunkai, who has a business worth tens of millions of gold galleons. Her feelings for Lu Yunkai have been mixed with a feeling called "admiration".

“My boyfriend is the best!”

In the week after returning to school from Hogsmeade, Lu Yunkai heard with his own ears that Daphne said this sentence no less than thirty times in front of Millicent and Pansy.

So much so that when the only single person in this trio of girlfriends saw Lu Yunkai (and the very innocent Malfoy) recently, he looked at him as if he was an enemy with a hatred for his wife...

"So what exactly did you give Daphne? A love potion?"

Malfoy, who was a little dizzy because of Pansy, also came over and asked Lu Yunkai what happened.

In this regard, Lu Yunkai just said:

"Charm, no need!"

Well, then he was beaten hard by Malfoy and Blaise, who he abandoned in the Three Broomsticks bar that day...

But this is not without side effects.

Probably after hearing the full story of what happened in the bar on that Hogsmeade weekend from her sister, Astoria, the snake charmer who has always been driving around Lu Yun since arriving at Hogwarts, The little girl started pestering Lu Yunkai every day when she had nothing to do, and transformed into the female version of Goyle and Crabbe...

"I'm here to help you ward off those women who may have bad intentions towards my brother-in-law! Do you know how many people would be eager to hear that my brother-in-law is already worth tens of millions of galleons before he graduates from Hogwarts? Use a lifelong love potion on him?”

Astoria's righteous words left Daphne speechless as she hindered her and Lu Yunkai from being alone together.

Because she did discover this problem: Even Karina, the best friend in Astoria who is of French descent and has never actively talked to Lu Yunkai before, came to Lu Yunkai with magic potions to teach him how to refine it. . And Daphne was probably the most unsuitable person to stop these serious-looking chats for Lu Yunkai.

She doesn't want to be said to be "too jealous"!

In this way, Lu Yunkai's fourth-year Hogwarts career continued in a prosperous way (except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which was often inexplicably poked at by Moody).

The time that was originally freed up for him to investigate Voldemort's resurrection magic because there was no Quidditch training was used by him to "make and study" communication mirrors.

Of course, after completing a mirror that bound the advertising push to the mirror's basic communication magic circle, Lu Yunkai could purchase it directly from the system at the same price of three hundred gold galleons per mirror, but he did not want to participate that day. Daphne and Blaise who were talking in the bar wondered where he "changed" as many as five thousand mirrors.

Anyway, it's just the same as the habit of making potions in the first and second grade, fixed seats, fixed time, waving the wand, drawing on the magic circle, and then chatting and communicating with various people in the lounge. .

The smell is very familiar and very accustomed to me, without any discomfort.

In this way, time flew by throughout October.

It's time for Halloween.

At this time in previous years, those Slytherins who didn't mind the trouble at home (of course, more because they didn't mind the trouble at home) were already looking forward to going home to eat well and sleep well during the Halloween weekend, but this year, although the school did not There was no clear statement that this arrangement would be cancelled, but no Slytherin student would still think about going home to spend Halloween with his parents.

Even the first-year students who came to school for the first time did not show any "homesickness" emotions.

The castle of Hogwarts is being carefully cleaned and decorated, because the guests who have been expected since the beginning of the term to participate in the Triwizard Tournament are about to arrive.

…

"Meow! Stop dawdling! If it's later, you won't be able to see it!!" Chris urged, yawning, and Lu Yunkai, who was walking slowly, "It's not what you said you wanted to see the legendary rune horse. Well!"

"...It's really not what I want to see." Lu Yunkai glanced at Astoria who was following him with excitement on his face.

Taking care of children is so annoying!

Daphne is trying to save herself trouble, and then dumps her sister to herself...

Well, I can’t blame others. Who made me not hide from this overly curious girl when I was chatting with Chris about the other two schools that came to participate in the Triwizard Tournament in the lounge the night before yesterday?

"Oh! Brother-in-law! Aren't you curious? Or is it the kind of rune horse you said is the most elegant and beautiful Pegasus! If that's the case, don't you want to raise one?" Astoria stretched out her hand to touch Elsa, the golden python wrapped around her neck, asked Lu Yunkai.

"...I would rather learn how to use a broomstick." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

And it wasn't me who said elegance and beauty, it was Chris, the cat, who said that.

In fact, even if he was just watching the fun, compared to the students of Beauxbatons who were probably coming to Hogwarts in a gorgeous carriage pulled by a magic horse, how Durmstrang, who was "notorious" for his friendly attitude towards the dark magic, would come to Hogwarts, aroused Lu Yunkai's interest more.

"No future. My sister must also like the magic horse more!"

"Oh, then it's a pity that she didn't come to see it today!"

"You..." Astoria stamped her feet and turned her head away from Lu Yunkai.

"Meow! Stop talking nonsense, people will be here soon, hurry up." Chris stretched out her cat paw, patted Lu Yunkai's face, and pointed to the front.

"Focus on it!" Astoria interrupted from the side.

"..."

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and quickened his pace.

Not far ahead, Lu Yunkai saw the place Chris had discovered before, which was probably used to welcome Beauxbatons students.

There used to be an open space on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Lu Yunkai had passed by it many times when he sneaked into the Forbidden Forest to do various things. Originally, it was a wasteland with small mounds and wild grass, but now it was cleared by magic and turned into a large flat land.

Hagrid, the professor of magical biology and the gamekeeper, was standing at one end of the flat land with two huge signs in his hands, as if waiting for something.

When Lu Yunkai was about to go over to say hello to Hagrid and chat for a while, Chris's cat meow sounded.

"Meow!! Here it comes!"

Lu Yunkai looked in the direction of Chris's cat's paw. In the distance, a golden dot appeared in the sky, and then it quickly grew larger. After getting closer, Lu Yunkai saw it more clearly. It was a carriage pulled by two flying horses.

The two winged horses in front were shining with golden light, and the long mane behind their heads was silver.

As they approached rapidly, Hagrid immediately became busy and began to wave the two signs in his hand desperately.

The Pegasus, which seemed to be pulling the carriage directly over Hogwarts, seemed to see the sign in Hagrid's hand, and suddenly turned around in the air and flew towards Hagrid.

The carriage towed behind them was thrown and braked suddenly, making Lu Yunkai start to worry about whether the shaft used to fix the carriage and the Pegasus was strong.

But soon, his worries changed.

Because he saw that the two Pegasus seemed to be flying straight towards Hagrid, and the posture seemed to be about to hit him directly.

Hagrid obviously realized this, and although he was still waving the sign in his hand, he had already started to retreat behind him.

But of course he couldn't retreat as fast as the horses.

In a breath, the two Pegasus, which were much higher than flying over Hogwarts Castle, had arrived in front of Hagrid.

Then Hagrid made a gorgeous side dive...

Well, not gorgeous at all, Lu Yunkai could see that he had fallen hard.

Because there was a loud thump, and Hagrid's huge body had obviously smashed a hole on the edge of the field.

"Wow! What a big horse!"

Just when Lu Yunkai was worried that Hagrid might fall and go to see Madam Pomfrey, Astoria sighed.

Only then did Lu Yunkai realize that as the carriage landed, the divine horses that were just rushing forward had stopped and landed steadily with the carriage on the cleared space.

And the two divine horses seemed to be more than half a head taller than Hagrid.

How could this be a horse? This is clearly an elephant! !

"I think you should learn to ride a broom! For a horse of this size, with your small physique..." Lu Yunkai looked at his sister-in-law who was even thinner than her sister, and sighed, "You are not even enough for others!"

"Humph!" Astoria rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai. "But this horse is really beautiful! The golden body and silver mane..."

"Nouveau riche color matching." Lu Yunkai pouted, "I think it's not as good as the pure white one."

"Pure white is so boring! Like Sophie." Astoria complained about Lu Yunkai's owl.

"Meow! You're right!" Chris nodded.

"Have you forgotten that you were also pure white?" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.

"Meow, I worked so hard, even risked challenging Voldemort, just to avoid wearing that white fur!" Chris sighed, "It's because it's ugly!"

"No aesthetics... Good guy! What kind of person is that??"

Lu Yunkai exclaimed.

Because he saw a woman in a gorgeous robe getting off the carriage.

It wasn't because her clothes were so gorgeous that people were amazed, but...

Her height was about the same as the two magic horses pulling the carriage.

"...Wow!! That witch is so tall!!"

"That's right! She looks taller than Hagrid! Could she also have giant blood?" Lu Yunkai looked at Chris.

"Meow, Olympe Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons School of Magic, a half-blood giant." Chris nodded, "But she herself is very conscious of being mentioned about half-blood giants. There was once a wizard who laughed at her because of this, and she drove him from France to England and never dared to return to Europe again in his life. So if you have the opportunity to communicate with her in the future, don't mention it."

"Okay!" Lu Yunkai nodded, and then relayed Chris's words to Astoria in a serious manner.

"She is so tall, no one with any brains would think she has nothing to do with a giant, right?" Astoria flattened her mouth in disdain after hearing Lu Yunkai's words, "And what's the point of worrying about blood! It’s not up to you to decide what’s going on, as long as you do your own thing and be worthy of yourself, right?”

"..."

Hearing Astoria's words, Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"What? What did I say wrong?" Astoria rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "Should we get closer to take a look?"

"...Okay! If you really want to raise a horse like this, you can ask Hagrid about their living habits and eating habits later."

Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.

The attitude is obviously more positive than when I first arrived.

This is naturally because of what Astoria said just now.

Back then, this was a pure-blood fanatic who tried every means to separate herself and her sister because of her Eastern origin! Now I can actually say such words...

To be honest, Lu Yunkai was really pleased! !

It seems that I should be nicer to this sister-in-law.

"Forget it! This kind of reminder must be very delicious... If dad and mom don't agree, I won't be able to support him." Astoria was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of! If you really like it, I will pay to help you raise it!"

"...Ah!! Brother-in-law! You are so good!"

"Let's go!"

"Um!"
