Chapter 51 An Unexpected Encounter

The next morning, Lu Yunkai got up and went to Diagon Alley.

He first went to Flourish and Blotts to buy two books about wands, then went to Florin's Cold Drink Shop, found a good seat outside the shop and sat down to read.

Of course, he didn't come to read books, but to keep an eye on the clerk.

Lu Yunkai was sure that someone had targeted Mrs. Zabini before the establishment of this shop, so he could arrange someone to apply for the clerk position.

He was not interested in whether someone was targeting Mrs. Zabini. What he needed to confirm was whether that person was a threat to him.

As for the two books related to wands, they were typical idle books, so he might as well take the opportunity to study how to make his wand glow when necessary even when he was not casting spells.

In order to occupy a position that was convenient for monitoring the staff, Lu Yunkai arrived at the beverage shop early. At this time, the clerks of Zabini Magic Items Shop had not yet come to work, so he had to read the book first.

But it didn't matter when he read it, his attention was completely focused on the book.

The matter of the wand glowing was much more complicated than he had imagined, because it involved the origin of magic: all wizards needed a wand to cast magic, so was the magic cast by the wizard or the wand?

If this question was not clarified first, then there was basically no way to figure out why casting magic would glow, and how to make the wand glow when not casting magic...

But the problem was that it seemed that there was no relevant research work handed down in the nearly two thousand years of magic history.

There was not even one in the system.

Lu Yunkai saw an interesting phenomenon here: most of those who were curious about this question were half-baked wizards like Lu Yunkai, who had no chance of studying such a complicated question, and the wizards who were really capable of answering this question seemed to be only interested in how to cast more powerful magic.

There must be a reason.

Lu Yunkai's attention fell completely into the book unconsciously.

It was not until he felt hungry that he realized that it was almost dark, and he sat there reading a book all day.

Fortunately, he woke up just in time for the clerk to close the store.

And Lu Yunkai saw a small reagent bottle in his hand, with a silver mist-like thing in it. Although Lu Yunkai had never seen it, he guessed that it should be the memory that the clerk took out before leaving get off work.

Since he had to do this in the store, the place where he hid this memory must be on the way home from get off work, near Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, which was definitely good news for Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai quickly packed up the two books he had just read and drank a bottle of concealment potion, and then secretly followed the clerk.

Maybe it was because of the potion, or because of Lu Yunkai's appearance, the clerk who looked quite smart didn't notice that he was being followed.

The two came to the teleportation fireplace in Knockturn Alley, one in front and one behind.

The clerk found a blue brick with a simple X-shaped mark painted on the corner of the wall, pulled out the brick, and put the potion bottle in.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned his head and went to the teleportation fireplace.

Just before he was about to enter the fireplace, a figure walked out of the fireplace.

A faint white light flashed.

The clerk's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not stop and walked directly into the fireplace.

There was another green light of floo powder, and the clerk left Knockturn Alley.

But at this time, Lu Yunkai's eyes were no longer on the clerk. When he saw the white light, he almost instinctively thought of a spell: the Oblivion Spell.

The last piece of the puzzle of Voldemort's lurking strategy in his mind was put together.

There is no reason not to check and confirm the place where the memory is backed up every once in a while when you put new memories next time!

If you find that the memory stored here before is lost, you will naturally suspect that this place has been discovered by others, and you will definitely not hide memories here again in the future. Therefore, this kind of lurking and collecting information without the other party knowing can only be a one-time thing.

But if you use the Oblivion Spell, so that the person will think it is the first time every time he hides the memory, there will be no problem.

The person who used the forgetfulness spell on the lurker was naturally the "contact" person.

He was a handsome middle-aged man. Just by looking at his arrogant and world-weary temperament, you could tell that he must be from a noble family.

Lu Yunkai believed that such a person was definitely not monitoring Mrs. Zabini to pursue her.

He should want to find out how Mrs. Zabini, who has always been a professional in marrying, could get some strange things to open a store and sell.

In other words, this person's target was Lu Yunkai.

Moreover, the more Lu Yunkai looked at this middle-aged man, the more he felt familiar. But although he looked familiar, he really couldn't remember where he had seen him.

This feeling made Lu Yunkai a little scared.

Could it be that he had seen him before, and then he was also used with the forgetfulness spell by him?

Just when Lu Yunkai remembered the appearance of the person who came and wanted to turn around and leave, he accidentally met the man's eyes.

Lu Yunkai secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good.

The effect of this concealment potion is to make people around you not notice your existence, but it does not completely make the other party invisible. But now the eyes of the two are facing each other, and the other party will see it even if he doesn't pay attention!

The lurking failed!

"Whose child are you? Why did you run to Knockturn Alley?" The man's voice also sounded very elegant and full of aristocratic temperament.

Although there was full of vigilance in it.

"What's wrong with Knockturn Alley?" Lu Yunkai said in a calm tone.

"Humph! Orientals..." The man said in a disdainful tone, turned his head and was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head again, looked at Lu Yunkai, and looked him up and down again.

"Why, sir?" Lu Yunkai still didn't care, "Orientals can't appear in Knockturn Alley?"

"Are you Lu Yunkai?"

"Oh? Have we met?" Lu Yunkai's heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to stay calm.

How could this person know him?

"I always hear my Draco talking about you." The blond man had a faint smile on his face.

Draco? Malfoy? ?

Oh!! This man is Lucius Malfoy!

Lu Yunkai once again looked at this man with long light golden hair, elegant and handsome appearance, holding a cane with a silver cane head, and exuding a Slytherin temperament.

Not to mention, he is exactly the same as his son!

However, knowing this man's identity did not make Lu Yunkai relax. Because Lu Yunkai knew this man's other identity: Death Eater.

"You are Mr. Malfoy!" Lu Yunkai smiled, "I didn't expect to see you here. Didn't you take Draco to France for vacation? You're back so soon?"

"I have something to do, so I moved my vacation to next month." Lucius nodded with a smile, "I heard from Draco that he invited you to go with him but you refused?"

"I'm worried about disturbing your family's vacation." Lu Yunkai said with a smile, "Mr. Malfoy, you are busy, so I'll leave first?"

"Please wait a moment." Lucius stopped Lu Yunkai and looked at him again, "I heard from Draco that you performed very well in school, and even broke Dumbledore's sealing spell on you?"

"Just lucky." Lu Yunkai smiled.

"But I believe Professor Snape will not allow people to use forgetfulness grass, right? Who gave you the confidence to use such a dangerous thing?"

Lucius' words made Lu Yunkai, who was originally smiling, sure.

Why does this sentence sound strange?

Does he think someone is encouraging him to use forgetfulness grass to break Dumbledore's magic?

Is it possible! ?

"I'm just trying it, because I heard that a wizard once proposed that if the forget-me-not grass is not heated, there will be no toxins." Lu Yunkai answered, speaking more carefully.

"Yeah. A great discovery, but it is not recognized. But where did you hear it from?"

"Just... heard it." Lu Yunkai's eyelids twitched violently.

"You still have to be careful about some things. You are still young. Sometimes you will hurt yourself and your friends if you take risks casually."

"Well, thank you for your reminder." Lu Yunkai tried to smile and bow to express his gratitude. "I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, I have an appointment with someone. If I don't leave now, I may be late."

"Okay. Come to Malfoy Manor as a guest when you are free! Draco has said it several times."

Lucius smiled and nodded.

"Of course!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and slowly left Knockturn Alley, leaving a calm and confident back to Lucius.

But his heart was far from as calm as he looked.

After returning to the bar, he immediately wrote a letter to Mrs. Zabini, telling her that the person who was monitoring the store was Lucius Malfoy, and told her that he had something to do tonight and asked her not to come to the Leaky Cauldron to find him.

Then he carried Chris, who was about to go out, back to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, looking as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Meow? What happened? Were you discovered by Malfoy's father?"

The lights in the room were not turned on, and Lu Yunkai, who was silent in the darkness, made Chris, who was originally in a good mood, worried.

"There is something I want to hear your opinion on."

Lu Yunkai did not answer Chris, but spoke to himself.

"What is it, just tell me, meow."

"You tell me..."

Lu Yunkai said, shaking the old notebook in his hand.

"Should I return it to its original owner?"

"Meow??"
