Chapter 229 Simple

"Yunkai! Wait a minute!"

"...What's wrong?"

Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne beside him, and smiled awkwardly at Parvati who called him.

In the classroom before the History of Magic class the next morning.

"Professor Trelawney said that if you are free today, go see her."

"...No need!?"

"The professor said she has something to tell you." Parvati smiled, "She knows you are a good person, helping others without asking for anything in return, but she can't be ungrateful!"

"...Okay." Hearing what Parvati said, Lu Yunkai could only agree.

Parvati smiled and bowed to Daphne, then turned around and sat down next to her roommate Lavender, while Daphne was a little embarrassed by Parvati's politeness.

"What did you do for Trelawney?"

"Oh, Umbridge wanted to expel her last night, so I went to help resolve the situation."

"...If Umbridge wants to expel her, let her do it! Trelawney is the worst professor at Hogwarts anyway."

"Trelawney is Chris's good friend!!"

"Oh, I forgot."

Daphne pouted and smiled.

...

The History of Magic class is still as boring as it has been in the past five years.

Professor Binns, who has become a ghost, reads from the textbook at the front desk, while those who should read are reading and those who should sleep are sleeping.

The class is harmonious.

Lu Yunkai was originally a member of the sleeping army, but today, he rarely stayed awake.

There is no way, because he promised Umbridge to join their so-called alliance.

To work in the Ministry of Magic, the History of Magic is actually a very important course, and many civil service departments have requirements for NEWTS's History of Magic scores. Even if Lu Yunkai didn't really want to join the Ministry of Magic, he had to at least pretend to be like that now!

God knows how long Chris meant by Umbridge not staying in Hogwarts for long!

But for Lu Yunkai, the History of Magic was really a headache for him: this course didn't teach principles and comprehension, it was just a matter of knowledge reserve.

To put it simply, it was about memorizing.

This was something Hermione was good at, but Lu Yunkai was scratching his head.

Fortunately, Lu Yunkai had always read various books during his evening potion time in recent years, and many of them were books on the History of Magic that he read as novels, so he had some reserve.

For the rest, just sprint and memorize!!

In this way, a calm History of Magic class ended smoothly.

Professor Binns didn't care about the students who were still sleeping in the classroom, packed up his things, and left directly.

Lu Yunkai asked Daphne not to wait for him to have lunch together, and then he came to the tower of the Divination classroom with the book in his arms.

Just then, I saw a group of people coming out of the classroom.

"Lu Yunkai! Hello!!"

"... Hello! Luna!" Lu Yunkai smiled.

Then he smiled and nodded to Ginny who was beside Luna who greeted him.

Ginny had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn't see Lu Yunkai greet her.

Lu Yunkai didn't mind, he knew why Ginny had this attitude towards him: Harry had said a lot of things at DA gatherings recently, "Stay away from the dark arts, otherwise even if you are a kind person, you will inevitably be contaminated and become bad, just like Lu Yunkai."

As one of the two presidents of the "Harry Potter Fan Club" back then, Ginny, who had always been thinking about Harry, naturally took this sentence as a guideline.

It's normal to dislike Lu Yunkai!

Fortunately, although Luna always seemed crazy to others, she was still very clear and opinionated on such major issues.

"You came to see Professor Trelawney? I heard that yesterday Umbridge wanted to expel Professor Trelawney, but you stopped her." Luna seemed not to notice that her best friend didn't want to get along with Lu Yunkai for a moment, and continued with a smile, "You did a great job!"

"This is what I should do. After all... the crystal balls I use now are all inherited from the Trelawney family!" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.

"That's not easy either. Not everyone has such a strong obsession to repay others' kindness..."

"Luna, you guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first." Ginny interrupted Luna and ran away first.

"...What's wrong?" Luna looked at Ginny who was running away, a little confused.

This crazy girl! She is as pure as a blank sheet of paper... What you just said to Ginny was just a veiled criticism, saying that her idol Harry didn't know how to be grateful and always said bad things about me behind my back! !

Looking at Luna like this, Lu Yunkai couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, if it weren't for Daphne, Lu Yunkai might really like a girl like Luna... but he definitely wouldn't do that now.

"By the way, actually, I have something I've always wanted to talk to you about..." Lu Yunkai changed the subject.

"Come to me if you want to talk to me! I think that no matter who Daphne is worried about, she won't worry about me, right?" Luna said with a smile.

"... This summer vacation, if it's convenient, can I go to your house to visit your father?" Lu Yunkai didn't pick up the conversation.

Not worried? Daphne is worried about talking to any girl! !

This is not a matter of jealousy or pettiness, it's just that she cares too much about Lu Yunkai. Lu Yunkai understands this, so he won't make her feel uncomfortable.

"My father? Of course! He has talked to me about you many times!" Daphne nodded, "About your ring..."

As she said that, she pointed to the "fake" hanging around Lu Yunkai's neck.

"...Then it's settled. I'll contact you when it's convenient during the summer vacation..."

"Do you want to add a communication mirror number?" Luna asked.

"Okay." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.

The communication mirror is really selling well! !

No wonder Blaise has become more confident when he is with Padma recently!

...

After writing down Luna's communication mirror number on parchment (after all, communication mirrors are now prohibited in Hogwarts. Although everyone actually has one, no one will take it out in the public area outside the dormitory), Lu Yunkai walked into the divination classroom.

Trelawney was packing up the teacups and crystal balls used in class.

Seeing Lu Yunkai come in, she asked him to sit down and wait for a while.

Watching Trelawney holding the crystal ball and walking into the room behind the classroom where she slept and rested, Lu Yunkai finally understood why she reacted so strongly when Umbridge drove her away yesterday.

This woman who stayed in school during holidays and semesters really treated Hogwarts as her home! !

But thinking about it this way, she was indeed quite pitiful...

"Professor, do you have anything to do with me?"

Seeing Trelawney wiping her hands and walking out again, Lu Yunkai asked with a smile.

"It's nothing big, I just wanted to thank you in person. I was a little confused last night and didn't have time to pay attention."

"There's no need to be so polite. Even for Chris's sake, I wouldn't ignore it!"

"...Yeah." Trelawney nodded, then drew out her wand and waved it at the door.

Confidentiality spell.

This is already one of the most proficient spells used by Lu Yunkai.

"Professor, do you have anything to say?"

"After I woke up this morning, I was thinking about how to thank you, but I couldn't think of anything I could do for you." Trelawney shook her head, "I can only do some divination for you."

"...Actually...I don't really believe in these things." Lu Yunkai smiled awkwardly.

Especially your predictions...none of them are good, they are all curses.

"Here." Trelawney took out a small crystal bottle from her arms, and there was a wisp of silver smoke in it.

Lu Yunkai had seen this thing before, it was a memory.

But why would Trelawney give him such a thing? ?

"Professor, what is this?"

"Chris told me that your memories were not erased when you went to the Department of Mysteries to register for the prophecy. You can't forget it." Trelawney smiled, "This is a little memory of mine, I predicted it this morning."

"... Don't you remember the prophecies you made?"

"It's not that I don't remember, I just can't say it." Trelawney put away her smile and became serious, "For some reasons... well, I can't tell you."

"..."

"You should know how to use this? You can put it in a crystal ball, or if you can buy a Pensieve, it's better to look at it in the Pensieve." Trelawney continued, "Although the Pensieve is a very rare thing, it may not be a problem for you."

"... Professor, what do you mean by that? Why don't I understand?"

"I know more than you think, but I can't say anything." Trelawney sighed softly and shook her head.

"..."

"If you want to know anything, you can ask. If I can tell you, I will tell you." Trelawney smiled again, "Just take it as a thank you."

Where is the miserable look she had when she cried and begged Umbridge not to drive her away last night!

For a moment, Lu Yunkai even had a bit of schizophrenia.

This professor...

Is he hiding his true power, or is he just bragging after drinking too much? ?

She shouldn't have drunk too much! She doesn't smell of alcohol at all today!

"Professor, do you remember all the prophecies you made, or can't you even say it yourself?"

Looking at the faint silver thread in his hand, something suddenly flashed through Lu Yunkai's mind, and he asked tentatively.

"Do you want to know a prophecy I made?" Trelawney understood what Lu Yunkai meant.

"The most famous one... I'm curious about what it said... But you can't say it, right?" Lu Yunkai nodded.

Silence.

For a long time.

"I can give you memories." Trelawney suddenly said.

Then, the wand in his hand pointed to the side of his eyes.

Another silver thread, crystal bottle, put it away.

"Don't let anyone know what I did." Trelawney told Lu Yunkai, who carefully put away the crystal bottle.

"Of course." Lu Yunkai nodded repeatedly.

But the curiosity and excitement on his face that could not be suppressed, even Trelawney could see it.

"Well, it's getting late, you should be hungry too, right? Let's go have lunch!"

"Thank you, professor."

"...What's there to thank me for? Actually...knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it's better for people to live in confusion." Trelawney showed a helpless smile on her face.

Then, her expression seemed to change.

Lu Yunkai was slightly stunned.

Now this person who seemed to have a little brain trouble seemed to be the Trelawney he was familiar with.

That person just now...

was it her too? ?

Thinking back, why was she so strange!

Or...

Lu Yunkai left the divination class in silence.

Sure enough, there is actually no one simple person in Hogwarts! It's just that some people live a simple life, and some people...

pretend to live a simple life.
