Chapter 232 Warning
During lunch break, Lu Yunkai, who had been scolded by Hermione, received a second blow.
"I'm telling you it's not necessary, but you still insist on going through the trouble! How about it! Are all your good intentions in vain? You are also suspected of having a bad conscience. Tell me, are you full because you are full!!"
Well, what Daphne said was quite unpleasant, but coupled with her expression of distress for her boyfriend, it was quite comforting to Lu Yunkai's ears.
What really made Lu Yun happy was the dead cat meowing and laughing at him on the table.
"You're smart and you deserve it!"
Well, Chris used these six words as her evaluation.
Lu Yunkai could only admit that he was indeed being smart.
I originally thought that after Hermione figured out the truth, she would be able to endure her worry about Harry being "overwhelmed" and choose a more rational solution...
Sure enough, women are emotional. Even Hermione was no exception.
With such a complaint, Lu Yunkai found Harry in the care of magical creatures class in the afternoon.
Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking about how to ask Harry to go to the Room of Requirement at night and show him the Pensieve in private, Harry spoke first.
"Parvati already told me."
With one sentence, Lu Yunkai stopped the irritation caused by the nagging of women and cats, and made up an excuse that he only came up with at noon.
"If you don't want to believe it, I can let you see the original version." Lu Yunkai said seriously.
"It's not that I don't believe it." Harry shook his head, "I...never wanted to disbelieve you."
"You also told me in the DA training class not to be like me and become a Death Eater after getting exposed to black magic..."
"I never said you were a Death Eater. I just said... you became a dark wizard." Harry shook his head, "The two are different, right?"
"...Forget it, as long as you heard about it. Anyway, this prophecy...how to put it, it may or may not be a good thing for you, it depends on you."
"I understand." Harry nodded, "Actually, I have been curious about this prophecy for many years. This time I finally know the full story, which can be regarded as untying a knot in my mind."
"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.
Now that Harry already knew the prophecy and believed it, Lu Yunkai had nothing more to say to him.
One man returned to the Slytherin group.
Then he felt a somewhat scorching gaze behind him.
I followed it and looked over.
Hermione...
never mind. That girl was also a very stubborn person. He carried her protest and brought the matter to Harry. It was strange that she wasn't angry with him.
Let her be! Lu Yunkai just wants a clear conscience.
…
For Lu Yunkai, what Harry predicted was purely an "unexpected surprise". He had never thought that Umbridge would make a 180-degree turn on his attitude after the start of this semester, let alone He said that he was using her hand to sell a favor to Trelawney, and then inexplicably tricked out a secret that Trelawney had hidden deeply.
In fact, if Lu Yunkai's original thoughts were followed, the perfect answer would be that Voldemort, driven by curiosity, could lead people to break into the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and then kill a few Death Eaters in the battle.
But now that there is a way to roast Voldemort on the fire, for Lu Yunkai, he always feels a little sorry if he doesn't try it.
Of course, in Chris's words, Lu Yunkai may also have some "selfish motives" for doing this: Lu Yunkai is also curious about what Voldemort plans to do under the current circumstances.
According to the prophecy, only he can kill Harry. And because he was worried about not being able to control the Death Eaters, he chose the second best method of resurrection, and therefore may have lost the power that led to his defeat before.
The "Elder Wand" solution he thought of seemed a bit impractical because the wand was in Dumbledore's hand.
To be honest, Lu Yunkai felt a little sorry for the old man without a nose...
Therefore, after successfully "trapping" Voldemort with the prophecy (Lu Yunkai believed that Voldemort would definitely read this part of the content from Harry's memory), Lu Yunkai entered the movie-watching mode.
While studying hard to prepare for OWLS, I was waiting to see how Voldemort would respond.
However, without Hermione's help, Lu Yunkai's review efficiency seemed to be somewhat reduced.
Just like that, two weeks passed quickly, and it was already the end of January in the blink of an eye.
Voldemort's response finally came.
…
"Meow, this is obviously Voldemort's conspiracy!!"
"But I have to say, it's very relevant! Even I believe it."
On the weekend morning, Lu Yunkai, who was sitting in front of the table with his hand on the crystal ball and trying hard to see something other than his own shadow, answered casually.
The empty Slytherin lounge was deserted, which was very fitting for the atmosphere of the mysterious and mysterious course Prophecy.
This is an assignment for the prophecy class due next week. Lu Yunkai was thinking about how to make up a better story.
But just now, Chrissy came running all the way to tell him that as soon as Harry got up in the morning, he ran to find Professor McGonagall.
Then he meowed and imitated Harry's urgent tone and told Lu Yun what Harry said when school started.
Lu Yunkai summarized that Voldemort was plotting with his men how to ambush and assassinate Dumbledore...
After knowing that Voldemort was planning to take the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand, Lu Yunkai really felt that it was not completely impossible.
However, if Voldemort really intended to do this, how could he let Harry know!
"Anyway, I think McGonagall didn't believe it. Not only did she not believe it, but she seemed very angry." Chris said with a bit of gloating: "Give Harry a good lesson and let him be more careful when learning brain block from Snape."
"Didn't Snape stop teaching him?" Lu Yunkai was a little curious.
Chris also told Lu Yunkai about this.
In the middle of the month, when Snape was teaching Harry brain block, it seemed that there was a lot of unpleasantness.
Chris guessed that Harry, who didn't want to learn brain block, fought back against Snape's Legilimency and reversely spied on Snape's thoughts...
The two outsiders (cats) didn't know what it was exactly, anyway, Snape never looked at Harry straight in the eye again after that day.
"McGonagall may not know!" Chris shook her head. "Anyway, Dumbledore is not in school now. Even if Snape stops the tutoring course without permission, no one will care."
"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded. "So Harry didn't cause any trouble after being defeated by McGonagall?"
"He went back to the dormitory to discuss with Ron how to help Dumbledore deal with Voldemort." Chris said this with a hint of sarcasm. "I don't want to listen to them talking nonsense, so I came back to tell you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yunkai took his hand off the crystal ball, sighed, picked up the quill, and prepared to write the homework for the prophecy class.
Still didn't see anything, and had to make up a story again...
"Then I'll go... Meow, Daphne is here."
"Yeah."
Lu Yunkai nodded, and after watching Chris leave, Daphne came over with a crystal ball.
...
Lu Yunkai didn't have any clear guesses about what Voldemort's plan was.
Even while writing his paper, Lu Yunkai speculated that perhaps Voldemort really wanted to take the Elder Wand from Dumbledore.
As for not hiding it from Harry, and even showing it to him directly, it was just to make Harry aware of the danger.
It is a typical means of creating a terrifying atmosphere.
And it didn't take long for this conjecture to be confirmed in another way.
The front page of the Daily Prophet.
"The Return of the Mysterious Man"
At noon on Monday, the owls brought this explosive headline and plunged the entire Hogwarts into a panic.
Voldemort is really back.
Although the Death Eaters escaped from prison and the Hogsmeade attack seemed to confirm that his ghost was still there, he never appeared in public after all. The Ministry of Magic has been deceiving itself that Voldemort is dead, and it is just a small group of unrepentant Death Eaters who are making trouble, and they can't do anything.
But this time, Voldemort finally appeared in public.
And the way he appeared was also very explosive: attacking Dumbledore.
When Dumbledore left Hogwarts, he was a bit "arrested". He used the phoenix as a door key and fled the school directly in front of a group of Aurors and Umbridge, but no Auror from the Ministry of Magic would really chase him afterwards.
So after leaving Hogwarts, although Dumbledore's whereabouts have been mysterious (Lu Yunkai guessed that he was investigating the Horcrux), he has appeared in public many times.
And this time, Dumbledore was invited to a friend's dinner, and at the dinner, Voldemort suddenly appeared with a team of Death Eaters and attacked Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore seemed to have taken precautions in advance. Not only did he ensure that everyone else who attended the banquet escaped successfully, he also got away safely after knocking out three Death Eaters.
The photographer who was invited to take pictures of the dinner at that time took the photos on the front page of the Daily Prophet with his camera.
Voldemort, holding a magic wand in his hand, was laughing wildly...
To be honest, this scene was really scary, and it was no wonder that the students looked at each other in bewilderment while holding newspapers.
...
"So, he attacked Dumbledore for the wand in Dumbledore's hand?"
"Yeah. But it seems that he failed."
Lu Yunkai nodded.
In the Slytherin lounge after lunch, he was reading the newspaper carefully.
Daphne leaned beside him, not knowing whether she was reading the newspaper together or looking at Lu Yunkai.
The atmosphere in the lounge was a bit strange now. Some students seemed to be a little excited, some were very scared, and most of them were a little confused.
Lu Yunkai spoke in a low voice, because what he said was indeed not convenient for too many people to know.
"It's really rare that Voldemort would fail." Daphne sighed.
"He failed so many times. Not to mention Harry, he also suffered a lot in other areas." Lu Yunkai smiled, "He is not as invincible as you think."
"But he is still very powerful! He was able to set an ambush and attack Dumbledore..." Daphne shook her head, "It's terrible."
Lu Yunkai smiled and didn't say anything else.
He had basically finished reading the report in the newspaper.
The reporter explained the cause and effect of the attack, and mentioned a sentence that Dumbledore was warned in advance, so he made some preparations when attending the banquet, thus avoiding the tragedy.
This sentence made Lu Yunkai feel a little awkward.
It should be about Harry notifying McGonagall in advance. But the problem is that even if Harry took what McGonagall said seriously and relayed it to Dumbledore in some way, Dumbledore would definitely have no reason to talk about this matter in any occasion or to anyone!
Dumbledore won't say it, so who else would tell such a thing to the outside world?
Lu Yunkai smelled some conspiracy, but he was not sure what it was.
Just when he was about to put down the newspaper and talk to Malfoy, who was trembling and seemed more afraid than the Muggle-born wizard apprentice in the restaurant just now, Pansy walked into the lounge.
"Yunkai, the old witch is looking for you."
"... She's looking for me? What for?"
Lu Yunkai was stunned.
Ever since Trelawney did Lu Yunkai a favor that day, Umbridge has not contacted Lu Yunkai privately again.
The two of them still get along like in the first half of the school year, full of all kinds of false courtesy.
"How should I know! But I see that her expression is very bad, it should be a good thing." Pansy laughed and told a not-so-funny joke.
She looks in a good mood.
She is the kind of person who is very happy to see Voldemort return, a typical Slytherin... but your boyfriend is scared now!
Lu Yunkai sighed softly.
It seems that she may quarrel with Malfoy in a while!
Slip away before something happens!
