Chapter 52 A Difficult Decision
"Have you seen the resurrected You-Know-Who? Where is he?"
After hearing Lu Yunkai's words, Chris's fur stood up.
Having experienced that dark age, he had a deep fear of Voldemort, and even his name had changed back to You-Know-Who unconsciously.
"It's not Voldemort! It's... Lucius Malfoy. I say, are you so scared?"
"Lucius? He is the owner of this notebook?" Chris patted Lu Yunkai's head with her paw, "Are you overthinking it?"
"I don't think so." Lu Yunkai told Chris what Lucius said when he met him today.
"Meow, it sounds like that's what he meant."
Hearing Lucius's words and deeds, trying to find out who asked Lu Yunkai to make the antidote, and his words of praise to Voldemort almost in person, Chris felt that Lu Yunkai's suspicion seemed reasonable.
"I thought before that since this notebook was sent to me by an owl, it must be someone I know. I suspected Mrs. Zabini at first, but after getting along with her for a while, I know that she has no interest in black magic." Lu Yunkai nodded.
"But according to you, he also reminded you not to listen to the notebook in his words today..."
"Maybe he was afraid that I would take risks with his baby son?"
"Then why did he send the notebook to you?"
"Maybe he didn't expect that his son and I would have such a good relationship at first?"
"Meow. I think you might as well ask this notebook instead of guessing here." Chris obviously didn't agree with Lu Yunkai's guess, "Maybe it knows?"
"I still want to hear your opinion first." Lu Yunkai shook his head.
"If it were up to me, I would just sell it to your system! It would be over once and for all."
"I would never sell it to the system!" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris, "I don't know where the things in the system come from or where they go. What if it was just sent to some strange place instead of being destroyed directly, and the things about my system were completely exposed to Voldemort?"
"Then what do you say?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't ask you!"
Lu Yunkai sighed.
Sure enough, although this cat is a well-informed existence, it is just a cat after all. It can't come up with any ideas when it encounters such a thing!
In this case...
Lu Yunkai took out his wand.
"Fluorescent flashing!"
Then, he took out a pen, opened the notebook and wrote a line.
-
I want to ask you something.
-
You say.
-
Do you know how you came to me? -
I, who was possessed by Quirrell, ordered the previous owner of the notebook to send it to you.
"Meow?" Chris was a little surprised when she saw the answer in the notebook.
Because this answer seemed very real.
"You're right, it's much better for me to ask it directly than to guess it myself."
Lu Yunkai smiled at Chris and continued to write...
-
Lucius Malfoy?
-
Oh? How did you know?
-
Why did you send it to me? Do you want me to help you revive?
-
I think you are a good person who can help me revive.
-
Help you get the Philosopher's Stone? -
Philosopher's Stone? Well, that's a good choice, maybe.
-
Oh? You don't know? Your other clone also lied to me that you know everything.
-
That should be what I said in a very critical situation. I never lie.
-
I don't believe it.
-
For me, the power of magic is far greater than the deception of language. Do I need to lie?
"Meow! Lie!! He is the best liar! No one who taught him at Hogwarts thought that he would become the Dark Lord! Meow, except Dumbledore..." Chris was a little angry after seeing this line of words.
Lu Yunkai naturally didn't believe Voldemort's remarks, so he changed the subject.
-
The Philosopher's Stone was destroyed by you and Harry, and your clone is dead. I can't help you.
-
No, I think you might be able to.
-
For you to resurrect and possess? I am a Muggle! -
You must not have an ordinary family background, otherwise why would Slughorn adopt you as his adopted son? You may just be like me when I was a child, and you don't know what a distinguished background you have.
-
Even so, I won't agree to be possessed by you. I feel sick when I see Quirrell like that! -
Of course, you are definitely more useful to me than just borrowing a body. I need you to help me find a wizard in Hogwarts who can be sacrificed by me. Of course, pure blood is best.
-
I help you find it? If I do this kind of thing in Hogwarts, Dumbledore will find me the next day and put me in Azkaban. He is watching me closely! -
Then you can return me to Lucius and let him find a way.
-
Well, that's fine. But you won't hate me for this, right?
-
Professor Slughorn has done me a favor, I won't do anything to his son. Besides, I may need you to cooperate with me in doing something in Hogwarts! -
Are you going back to Hogwarts? -
Of course, that's my starting point, there are so many things that can help me.
-
Well, I'll return you to Malfoy as soon as possible.
-
Okay, thank you.
The last line of words on the notebook faded away, Lu Yunkai closed the notebook, and let out a long breath.
The light of the wand in his hand went out, and the room returned to darkness.
"Meow, do you believe it won't retaliate against you?" Chris was a little worried, "Why do I feel that it won't forgive you. After all, you treated it so well before!"
"How about I put it in the room during the day tomorrow, and you can set a fire while I'm not here to see if you can burn it?" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris.
He didn't believe that a notebook with such powerful magic would be burned by fire, and he didn't even dare to try.
What if Voldemort's other clones could feel that he treated the notebook like this, and ordered two Death Eaters to "visit" him...
Of course, Chris also understood this.
"Meow, you can't destroy it, and you dare not return it, so what are you going to do?" Chris was irritable.
"Ah!"
Lu Yunkai sighed deeply and shook his head.
...
Three days later.
"Yunkai! You are finally here! It is so hard to invite you to come!"
"Draco, what are you talking about? I am just afraid that it is not appropriate to visit you rashly!"
Lu Yunkai smiled and hugged Malfoy.
"You also brought a gift?" Malfoy took a look at what Lu Yunkai was holding.
"You can't come empty-handed!" Lu Yunkai smiled and handed the gift in his hand to Malfoy, "It's not something particularly expensive, but it should be of some use."
"What is this?"
"Oh, some potions I brewed, which are quite commonly used. This is all I can afford."
"My father bought some herbicides some time ago and spread them, and a bunch of strange flowers grew out, making the lawn a mess. My mother was very angry because of this. I said that he might as well ask you for a favor instead of buying those things!" Malfoy took the gift, nodded with a smile, and then took Lu Yunkai into their courtyard.
This was Lu Yunkai's first visit to a proper European castle. He had been to Blaise's house before, and he thought Blaise's house was very luxurious at the time. Compared with Malfoy's house today...
I'm not envious, I'm not envious.
He still has work to do today!
Thinking of the notebook in his arms, Lu Yunkai collected his mind and tried to keep smiling.
Following Malfoy, who kept nagging about the postponed vacation trip, he walked through the entire courtyard and entered the castle-like home.
Without stopping in the hall where the voices echoed clearly, he walked up the spiral staircase on one side to the second floor and entered a reception room that was almost half the size of the Hogwarts Great Hall.
A middle-aged woman in a very gorgeous dress was sitting in the reception room. Lu Yunkai saw the necklace sold by Mrs. Zabini on her neck...
Naturally, this was Draco's mother.
"I heard from Draco that you were his most important friend at school. Welcome to your arrival."
The dignified middle-aged woman greeted Lu Yunkai with a smile.
"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Yunkai took out the etiquette he had learned before to attend the dinner at the Blaise family, and greeted with a smile, "I brought two bottles of my own medicine that can remove wrinkles and tighten the skin for you."
"Thank you." Mrs. Malfoy smiled and nodded.
Her hand touched the necklace she was wearing a little unconsciously.
"My mother just spent a huge amount of money to buy a necklace with a powerful anti-aging spell and soaked in the legendary fountain of youth. It cost a lot of money, and my father was angry because of this." Malfoy, who was standing next to him, didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said this.
"Oh! That doesn't matter. The bottles of potions I prepared don't conflict with the anti-aging spell..."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a seat and chat while eating." Mrs. Malfoy interrupted Lu Yunkai with a smile.
Lu Yunkai didn't mind and nodded with a smile.
"Where's my father?"
"He has something to do and will be back a little later."
"Oh." Malfoy nodded.
Lu Yunkai still maintained his smile.
Something? Of course.
He should go to Knockturn Alley today to cast a forgetfulness spell on the poor clerk!
And when he gets there, he will find out that the "spy" he arranged was fired by Mrs. Zabini today, and when he comes back, Lu Yunkai still has something to talk to him about!
About that notebook.
