Chapter 226 The Wind Is Full of the Building

"Meow? Why did you end it so early? Aren't you going to accompany Daphne to meet her mother tonight?"

"...The mother and daughter are chatting, and I, an outsider, stay by the side. Isn't it an eyesore?"

"Are you still considered an outsider?? That's your wife's mother!!"

"Daphne drove me away."

Lu Yunkai glared at Chris who was huddled on the bed, and sat down.

Sighed.

"Meow, I don't think you should come back." Chris shook her head, "If mother and daughter are chatting too happily, you have to interrupt."

"Huh?? Why?"

"Meow! Don't you think about it, what if Daphne likes the feeling of talking to her dead mother...haven't you read that fable and fairy tale!!" Chris raised the cat's head, "It's not all People can clearly distinguish between the living and the dead, reality and fiction... Meow, well, it should be said that most of you two-legged beasts can't tell the difference, unlike me."

"Shameless." Lu Yunkai glared at Chris.

"Meow, I'm serious! What if..."

"No."

"You knew it!!"

"I believe her!" Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris who was still trying to argue, "Besides, what's wrong with her just wanting her mother to accompany her? She has never seen her biological mother since she was born. It’s normal to be a little attached and reluctant to let go!”

"..."

"Okay! Even if it's only today, let her talk to her own mother!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "Even if you don't have confidence in her, you still have to have confidence in me! As long as I'm here, she will definitely be happy." Know what is true and what is false.”

"...Meow, you still say I'm stinky and shameless? You're the one who's really stinky and shameless!"

Chrissy glared at Lu Yunkai and left with small steps.

Lu Yunkai didn't stop it.

He knew that the shabby cat must have gone to spy on Daphne talking to her mother.

Actually... Lu Yunkai was somewhat worried about what Chris said.

Although Daphne has never said that, Hailin has always been pretty good to her, but even Lu Yunkai can feel that there is some inexplicable gap between Daphne and Hailin...

The biological mother must be different!

God knows if Daphne would be reluctant to part with it.

But since Daphne didn't want him to listen, Lu Yunkai stopped listening.

As for Chrissy running to eavesdrop...

Well, it’s not like I ordered it. What a surprise...

Probably not?

…

Facts have proved (although Chris doesn't want to admit it) that Lu Yunkai's self-confidence is not unreasonable.

Lying on the bed and leaning against the bed screen, Lu Yunkai was in a state of confusion for more than an hour before Daphne appeared.

Very obediently, he returned the resurrection stone in his hand to Lu Yunkai.

"Just keep it! It's given to you."

Although Lu Yunkai felt very proud and happy when he saw Daphne's action, the expression on his face was very calm.

"No! I can't afford such an expensive thing." Daphne shook her head, "And...it's in my hand. I'm afraid I can't control it and always want to see her."

"I'll see you if you want! That's your mother..."

"I don't want to disturb her anymore." Daphne shook her head seriously. "And that's not fair to Helene, is it?"

"But your father might also want to meet her..."

"By the way, don't tell my dad about this, okay?" Daphne added.

"Huh?? Why?"

"This is my mother's request." Daphne shook her head, "She said...she would be very happy if my dad could still be alive and well. She didn't want her to affect Helene..."

Quiet.

A long time.

"Don't worry! I will definitely help you get rid of the curse." Lu Yunkai suddenly said something like he was out of his mind.

Daphne blushed.

She understood what Lu Yunkai meant.

Moreover, she also understood that Lu Yunkai also understood what her mother meant, as well as what she meant.

…

After returning the Resurrection Stone to Lu Yunkai, Daphne no longer had any interest in asking him to taste the little things she brought back from South America. She told Lu Yunkai not to be late tomorrow and went home.

Lu Yunkai put the resurrection stone that fell from the sky back into the space bag.

Such a thing may be useful in the future, but Lu Yunkai has no intention of processing it to the system.

Anyway, you can sell it at any time if you want to sell it. If you want to buy it again, you may not get the original price. Anyway, he still has a lot of balance in the system!

In this way, the last night before returning to school passed peacefully.

The next morning, platform nine and three-quarters, Hogwarts Express, back to school.

After this short vacation, Lu Yunkai also realized that Hogwarts is his true home now.

There, he didn't have to worry about Voldemort, let alone Grindelwald's dream. He didn't have to worry about danger. As long as he went to class, did his homework, and didn't cause trouble, he could live a peaceful life.

As for whether that school is really so peaceful and quiet...

I have to say that this Umbridge is very talented at gaining a sense of presence.

Even the first second after she got off the Hogwarts Express, Lu Yunkai annoyed her.

Because Umbridge was "welcoming" everyone on the platform with a fake smile on her face.

"Student Lu Yunkai, please wait a moment."

Just when Lu Yunkai (and of course almost all the students on the platform) wanted to escape quickly, he was stopped by Umbridge.

So, under Daphne's worried eyes and the sympathetic eyes of other students who said "I wish you the best", Lu Yunkai stayed.

"Professor, do you have something to talk to me about? It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about too!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and stood still, then came to Umbridge.

...

More than ten minutes later, Lu Yunkai finally left the train platform. An empty carriage was waiting for him. After he got on the carriage, it took him back to Hogwarts Castle.

There were no people inside or outside the castle.

At this time, the students basically stayed in the lounge, preparing for the welcome dinner before the new semester that was about to begin.

Students who went home during the holidays might have brought back some gifts for the students who stayed in school...

While walking on the stairs leading to the basement of the empty castle, Lu Yunkai remembered the bracelet he had brought for Mrs. Malfoy.

Don't forget this.

Lu Yunkai reminded himself.

Back in the lounge, no one noticed Lu Yunkai. The room was noisy and lively.

Lu Yunkai looked around the room and saw Malfoy, who was obviously out of place in the noise.

It was almost impossible to see Malfoy sitting at the table in the lounge before the deadline for submitting papers, but now he was writing and drawing on a piece of parchment.

The sun really rose from the west.

Lu Yunkai walked to Malfoy with a smile, took out the bracelet that Mrs. Malfoy asked him to pass on from the space bag, and threw it in front of him.

"Here you go."

"... What is this?"

Malfoy, who was writing something, was stunned for a moment, put down the feather pen in his hand, picked up the bracelet that Lu Yunkai threw over, took a look, and asked Lu Yunkai in confusion.

This question actually stunned Lu Yunkai.

"Your mother asked me to bring it to you. Didn't she tell you?"

"No! I'll ask her." Malfoy took out the communication mirror from his pocket, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Ah?? Wait a minute! You went to my house?"

"Yeah."

"What did you do... Could it be..."

"..."

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.

His heart skipped a beat.

Oops! ! How could I forget this? ?

Malfoy's words almost broke his defense. Because Lu Yunkai really didn't realize this before.

When Mrs. Malfoy gave him the bracelet, Lu Yunkai just thought that his mother was worried about her child and didn't think much about it at all. In addition, he was locked up in Malfoy Manor by Voldemort for a whole day, and he was still worried about what Voldemort wanted to do with him, which made him wait for half a day, and finally nothing happened.

Now, he finally reacted.

The pit was dug here! !

Well! Inexplicably, I was mistaken by Malfoy as a Death Eater?

This move was really mean!

Lu Yunkai even began to suspect that Narcissa's request for him to bring something to her son might not be her own idea, but Voldemort wanted to do something...

What to do? Take advantage of Malfoy's loose mouth and tell it in school?

But even if Malfoy is ostentatious and has no control over his mouth, he would not say such things in school, right? ?

What does this mean?

"Yunkai! You...really..."

Malfoy looked at Lu Yunkai with some disbelief.

And more importantly, fear.

"Don't think too much." Lu Yunkai still maintained a smile, "Just think about it, am I worthy?"

"..."

"And thinking about these things is not good for your parents." Lu Yunkai reached out and patted Malfoy's shoulder, still trying his best to maintain a smile.

"Oh." Malfoy put the bracelet away awkwardly.

And the communication mirror was also put back in his pocket.

No more questions.

Asking too much is always a problem.

Lu Yunkai felt that his smile was about to collapse, so he apologized casually and slipped back to the dormitory.

Blaise didn't know where he ran to. The room was empty, and Lu Yunkai fell on his head on the bed.

He hammered the bed heavily with both hands.

Damn, I was really careless! !

"Meow? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

At this time, Chris appeared.

"...Where did you go just now?"

"I came back after listening to what you and Umbridge said on the platform!" Chris jumped in front of Lu Yunkai, "What's wrong with you?"

"...I was careless and might have gotten into trouble?"

"Meow?"

"I promised Mrs. Malfoy to bring a gift to Draco for her... and now he knows that I went to his house during the Christmas holiday."

"Meow. What's there to be upset about?" Chris was a little incomprehensible.

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid!! Malfoy now knows that I am with..."

"That's weird, do you think his parents can keep this a secret from their precious son forever?" Chris interrupted Lu Yunkai's scolding, "It's only a matter of time!"

"But..."

"Meow, instead of worrying about this, you should think carefully about the proposal Umbridge gave you on the platform. Although I have never heard of their mutual aid alliance, to be honest, it should be pretty good."

"As long as this cooperation was not proposed by her, I would not hesitate and agree immediately. But she... is really disgusting."

"Lu Yunkai, you are not a child. Temporary likes and dislikes must not affect your calm judgment!" Chrissy shook her cat head seriously, "Besides, has she really done anything to you? Apart from locking you in a small dark room for two days, there’s nothing else, right?”

"Nothing else?? Forget grass! Communication mirror!"

"Didn't she return the Forgettable Grass to Sprout? The communication mirror can't blame her. That's a problem of the Ministry of Magic! Not to mention Umbridge, just anyone in this position would not treat you. Do you want to use the mirror?"

"...You bad cat! Where are you from!!"

"Meow, I'm doing this for your own good." Chris shook her head, "You can't refuse her now, do you understand?"

"...If you didn't understand, I would have refused on the platform." Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.

"This is the reality!" Chris looked helpless when she saw Lu Yunkai's dejected look. "This group of seemingly insignificant employees are actually the ones who really control the Ministry of Magic. She used to do whatever she did at Hogwarts. Whatever she does to you, she only represents herself and Fudge, so it won't hurt if you confront her. But now she represents such a group of people who are soliciting you. If you don't give her face, it will be very dangerous. It’s over.”

"But I really don't want to hang out with her..."

"Meow, I don't think you need to worry, she doesn't like you very much." Chris shook her head, "Her invitation is definitely not because she wants to deal with you."

"...You mean, their organization wants to recruit me, and it has nothing to do with her?"

"Meow, of course! Doesn't she know how bad her relationship with you is?"

"...I know. I'll think about it again."

Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh and rubbed his head with his hands.

Upset! !

Who said you can just study when you go back to Hogwarts?

This shitty place is no less worry-free than outside! What's even more terrifying is that this castle is like a prison. If you want to escape, there is no place to hide! !
