Chapter 39: Scam
After separating from Hermione, Lu Yun went to the auditorium to have a late dinner alone. He returned to the lounge and planned to make a pot of potion as usual and end the day.
It's just that this day doesn't seem to end easily.
The story of the Gryffindor common room has spread to Slytherin, and the central character of the story, "the great Harry Potter" is really very popular in Slytherin, and basically no one has a positive interaction with him. .
Except for Lu Yunkai who was standing in front of the crucible.
In addition, at the door of the auditorium tonight, Blaise watched Lu Yunkai being called by Hermione to watch Harry together.
Therefore, a group of Slytherin students who had doubts about the story of "Harry outsmarting Quirrell and saving the Sorcerer's Stone" came to Lu Yunkai to inquire about the information.
Lu Yunkai really didn't want to tell this story: because his participation was really not high, and his knowledge was actually quite limited.
Of course, the more important thing is that he has an excuse to evade.
"I was cast a spell by Professor Dumbledore. There is nothing I can say about this. Don't ask. Otherwise I will faint in a while." Lu Yunkai said with a troubled expression.
Lu Yunkai's words immediately set the Slytherin lounge on fire.
Even people who were not so interested in this story because it was only related to Gryffindor joined the discussion. Soon some even began to suspect that it was Lu Yunkai who actually got rid of Quirrell, and it was just Dumbledore who favored Harry. Will arrange this story on his head.
"Otherwise, why only ban Lu Yunkai but not Harry and Ron?"
Conspiracy theorists swear by the evidence.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, but was too lazy to argue.
There was a lot of noise in the lounge all night, but the prefect Fali finally broke it up on the grounds that "there are still classes tomorrow, so go back and rest quickly."
Lu Yunkai was finally freed from everyone's attention and returned to the dormitory.
"I really don't know how Harry can endure this feeling of being talked about by everyone. He is so awesome!"
Lying on the bed, looking at the content of tomorrow's Transfiguration class, Lu Yunkai said to Chris with emotion.
Roommate Blaise was taking a shower when the cat reappeared after disappearing all day.
Lu Yunkai believed that if Chris felt the need to tell him where he had been all day, he would definitely tell her. If it doesn't say anything, Lu Yunkai won't ask.
"Some people just enjoy this feeling." Chris licked her fur and replied, "How do you feel about experiencing this this time?"
"You have to study hard! The more you study, the longer you will live!" Lu Yunkai said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Didn't I remind you that there is no use in studying potions. In the end, it depends on how many spells the wand can cast?" Chris corrected Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yun smiled and did not answer.
He faced Voldemort, and all he could use was the Petrification Spell.
He didn't see him take out another bottle of explosive corrosive potion and throw it at Voldemort, because he knew it was useless. And most likely he would accidentally hurt Harry...
"Meow, wizard! It's better to learn more spells and stop talking about those things all day long. There's no future!" Chris snorted again.
"I think I would rather deal with civilized people more, then the magic potion will work better than the wand." Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris's nagging. "Okay, don't talk about it. I'm not losing money this time, so there's no need to do so much self-criticism!"
"Isn't it a loss? You didn't make any money, meow!"
"Do you want to make more money? The magic stone is mine, what else can I do??"
"Meow?" Hearing this, Chris jumped up from the lying position of licking her fur, "Did the magic stone fall into your hand?"
"Sold for one billion." Lu Yunkai nodded.
"Meow?? Then you won't get rich!!" Chris suddenly became excited, "One billion? Good guy..."
"So what? I don't dare to use it for business now. I'm being watched by two of the most powerful wizards of our time at the same time!"
"Two? The mysterious man is still alive?"
"He should have other clones." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But who knows? Maybe he is lying to me."
Lu Yunkai did not tell Chris about the notebook.
It wasn't that he wanted to hide it, but Lu Yunkai felt it was useless to tell Chris.
Just the news that Voldemort is still alive should be enough to worry it, right?
However, Lu Yunkai guessed wrong.
"He must have a clone! In the end, you must completely eliminate him! This is his fate! Meow! I said, Jesse can't go wrong!"
Chrissy didn't look worried at all, but was extremely excited.
This left Lu Yunkai speechless, so he stopped paying attention to this cat who had entered the role of savior.
For the rest of the night, Lu Yunkai didn't say a word, while Chris started talking about how to completely eliminate Voldemort, and one Dragon Quest story after another was told from its mouth. come out.
So much so that roommate Blaise couldn't help but ask Lu Yunkai if it was time for Chris to breed, which was why she kept barking.
…
Hermione was right. If the Weasley twins knew about it, it would mean that the entire Hogwarts knew about it.
When Lu Yunkai went to the auditorium for breakfast the next day, he found that almost all the students in the school were discussing this matter.
But this is not a bad thing for the professors of the school: at least they don't have to bother to make up a reason to explain why the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was suspended for the last month.
In the version of the story of the Weasley brothers that was circulated, Lu Yunkai didn't play a role at all, so this also made the Slytherin students very angry.
However, these things have nothing to do with Lu Yunkai, and he is too lazy to get involved in the debate about what role he played in the dungeon battle.
Because his attention was drawn to other things.
It was not his brain defense and Agmanis that he had never stopped, but the persistent Hermione.
This freckled girl made Lu Yunkai realize that there is no genius in the world, it's all just sweat that you don't see.
From the next day, Hermione would pull Lu Yunkai to help him remove the curse almost every afternoon after class.
A solution for the curse every day.
From spells to potions, she can be said to be full of tricks.
She was not moved at all by Lu Yunkai's impatience, Ron's helplessness, and Malfoy's ridicule.
A month passed in a flash, and even the discussion about the dungeon and the Philosopher's Stone incident had subsided, but she still persisted.
Time finally came to the end of the school year, and the upcoming summer vacation was about to declare Hermione's attempt failed, but Lu Yunkai was still unhappy.
Because except for Ron, Malfoy, Blaise at the beginning, and now the Weasley twin brothers, they would run to watch Hermione help Lu Yunkai to remove the curse with relish in the afternoon.
It is even said that the two of them secretly opened a bet on whether Hermione could succeed that day...
But for this matter, whether it was Dumbledore, Snape, or McGonagall, they were indifferent.
This made Lu Yunkai's dissatisfaction with Dumbledore accumulate more and more.
Finally, on this afternoon, after Hermione failed again, Lu Yunkai lost control of his emotions when he saw Dumbledore's figure appearing on the tower in the distance.
Are you making a fool of me?
You are the greatest wizard of our time, right?
Then I will find the greatest dark wizard of our time!!
Lu Yunkai, who had been avoiding Voldemort since leaving the dungeon, finally came to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor and found the notebook.
Even the worry that he would be forced by Voldemort to help him revive was thrown behind his mind by this impulse.
-
I am here.
Lu Yunkai took a deep breath, and used the brain occlusion that he had practiced under the double attack of Snape and Hermione in the past month to the extreme, opened the notebook and wrote a line on it.
The notebook replied quickly.
-
This time it took a long time, what are you busy with? Why are you hiding from Snape and Dumbledore? Did you do anything strange?
The notebook's reply made Lu Yunkai close it directly.
It seems... wrong? There is something wrong with this conversation! Shouldn't Voldemort know that he came to him for something? Why ask such a question?
Doesn't this notebook know what happened in the dungeon? ?
Could it be that Voldemort was deceiving him in the dungeon? ?
Lu Yunkai took a deep breath and opened the notebook again.
-
Sorry, I won't probe your thoughts.
A sentence appeared in the notebook again.
-
Nothing, I've been under a lot of pressure recently and there's no one to talk to, so I came to talk to you. If you continue like this, I'll have to leave.
-
What kind of pressure? -
Dumbledore cast a Silencing Spell on me.
-
Do you need me to remove it for you?
-
Do you have a way?
-
You can go and make a potion. The materials and production methods are as follows:...
A long and eloquent potion recipe appeared on the yellowed paper of the notebook.
Lu Yunkai read it through and frowned.
-
Isn't this a curse-removing potion?
-
Oh? You know? Why don't you use it? -
I've used it, but it didn't work.
-
Is there no forgetfulness grass in the version you made? -
It seems that there is no forgetfulness grass.
-
That's right. What you made is the abridged version of the Ministry of Magic. The antidote without forgetfulness can't even remove the third-class magic they rated, so how can it possibly remove Dumbledore's spell!
-
Okay, then I'll go and configure it and try, and then come back to you.
-
Take me with you, so that you can ask me any questions at the first time.
-
Dumbledore has been staring at me recently. Are you sure you want to show up at Hogwarts with me?
-
Then I'll wait for you here.
...
Lu Yunkai watched the door of the Room of Requirement disappear again, and his heart surged.
Voldemort really lied to him! !
What Voldemort, who possessed Quirrell, knew, this notebook didn't know at all! !
He really worried in vain. Even the words he prepared were in vain.
That's what I mean! Even if it's black magic, it has to be reasonable! If it can really make people omniscient and omnipotent, how could he fall on Harry?
Then why not just sell it to the system and it will be over? No one would know anyway...
But Lu Yunkai quickly rejected this idea.
He now has a very limited understanding of this almost omnipotent system. What if the things sold to the system are not destroyed but taken away somewhere, then the things about Lu Yunkai's system will still be known by Voldemort who is leaning over the notebook! What if this notebook is brought back by someone else in the future...
Forget it, let's continue to use this notebook as a reference book!
Forget it, a big smile appeared on Lu Yunkai's face.
Forget it, go back to the dormitory to prepare medicine, break this spell, and spend the summer vacation happily!
Humming a song, Lu Yunkai ran all the way to the Slytherin lounge in the basement.
