Chapter 67: Missing a Wizard

"Yunkai, are you busy?"

"Oh, I'm helping Draco make pain-relieving ointment. What's up?"

Time went by in a blink of an eye and it was a month later.

On a weekend afternoon, Lu Yunkai sat in his "exclusive" seat in the lounge as usual, facing the potion, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.

"What is this?" Daphne put her head close to Lu Yunkai's face and looked at the parchment in Lu Yunkai's hand.

"Oh, Hermione wrote it to me. Do you remember when she helped me remove the curse at the end of last year? This is the way she found to remove the curse at that time." Lu Yunkai smiled and rolled up the parchment naturally.

Last week, Lu Yunkai did ask Hermione to write down all the methods of removing the curse that she had tried on him before on a piece of parchment for him, but that was just for Lu Yunkai to "eliminate wrong answers", not the parchment worth 5,000 gold galleons in his hand.

This parchment contains the method of making a puppet that can talk and move autonomously. Lu Yunkai has memories of this kind of thing in both his lives: the Terminator.

Lu Yunkai has been studying this scroll for a whole day. It's not that he wants to be a bodyguard for himself, but he thinks that perhaps one of the seven magics he has never heard of in the process of making the puppet may have something in common with the notebook.

Of course, he has eliminated five of the seven so far, and they should have nothing to do with the soul.

"Remember! You have suffered a lot." Daphne nodded, "Why are you looking at this? Her methods are useless."

"I just want to learn." Lu Yunkai reached out to Daphne, "Give it to me."

"... Oh, I just want you to help me see it. I have written it myself." Daphne blushed slightly, but still took out a parchment scroll with her body temperature from her arms and handed it to Lu Yunkai.

The day before yesterday, Snape assigned a potion paper on hair growth agent. There is a potion class tomorrow, so it should be handed in.

After a month of "special training" during the summer vacation, Daphne was already able to get Snape's praise for her performance in the potion class, so she naturally didn't need to copy Lu Yunkai's paper anymore, but she still had a little habit of asking Lu Yunkai to help check her homework from last semester.

And she didn't seem to have the intention to change this little habit.

Lu Yunkai didn't intend to refuse her request. He unfolded the parchment handed over by Daphne and read it carefully.

Daphne sat beside Lu Yunkai with a smile, looking at the blue gelatinous potion with a little starlight in his self-stirring crucible, and curiously wanted to reach out and touch it.

"Don't touch it! This thing may be highly toxic."

"...Oh." Daphne withdrew her hand a little depressed.

"It's well written! There's no problem." Lu Yunkai returned the paper he had read to Daphne.

"Well, really? That's great." Daphne smiled happily, as if getting Lu Yunkai's recognition made her more satisfied than getting Snape's recognition.

"You! Is there any need to be so happy?" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Daphne.

But he also smiled with relief. The frustration of searching all day but finding nothing was relieved.

"Didn't you find the formula of your poison from the manuscript I gave you?"

The thesis was solved, and Daphne was not in a hurry to leave. In fact, she was very confident about today's thesis, and she asked Lu Yunkai to help her. In addition to being a habit, she also wanted to find an excuse to chat with Lu Yunkai.

"Oh, yes!" Lu Yunkai nodded, "If I leave the gift you gave me there without using it, wouldn't it be unfair to you?"

"Yeah." Hearing Lu Yunkai's answer, Daphne understood that he didn't mean to drive her away, so she continued to ask: "I haven't seen Chris recently. Is she sleeping in the dormitory?"

"I don't know where she went."

Lu Yunkai smiled.

Of course he knew. Chris has basically lived in the Gryffindor common room and Ginny's dormitory recently. She only came back every morning to report to Lu Yunkai what Ginny had done and whether there was any new situation.

Of course, there was no progress.

Lu Yunkai originally thought that Ginny had done something after being bewitched by Voldemort, and she should be able to realize this soon, but the reality is that Chris found that Ginny had no idea what she had done.

So, Ginny's behavior of abandoning the notebook as expected by Lu Yunkai did not happen as expected.

On the contrary, she seemed to trust the notebook more.

Although Lu Yunkai was a little disappointed about this, it also bought him a lot of time. He still had a long way to go before finding a way to deal with the notebook.

"I really envy you for having a cat that can talk to you as a pet, while my owl can only deliver letters." Daphne sighed, "I can't find anyone to talk to when I want to whisper..."

"You!" Lu Yunkai was amused by Daphne, "If you want to chat, just come to me, I won't find you annoying!"

"But you have been so depressed recently! Even Senior Sister Fali said that she has talked less to you recently because you look like you have reached a bottleneck in studying a magic problem and can't break through it."

"Yes, a little. But it doesn't matter if it's you!"

"Yeah." Hearing Lu Yunkai say this, Daphne smiled happily, "Halloween vacation is in two weeks, do you still want to stay in school?"

"What else?"

"My father wrote to me the day before yesterday, saying that he would come back from the New World during the Halloween holiday. I hope..." Daphne's face flushed, "I hope I can invite you to go back for Christmas."

"Ahem... your father wants to see me?" Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little red.

"Yeah." Daphne nodded, "but don't get me wrong! Just have a meal together, and then he wants to talk to you..."

"Misunderstanding? Really a misunderstanding?"

"... It's just... you should dress up better. But it doesn't matter now... Anyway..."

When Daphne was hesitating and didn't know what to say, suddenly, the door of the lounge was opened, and a group of people rushed in.

The lounge suddenly became noisy.

"What's wrong? Did the Quidditch game just end?" Lu Yunkai took the opportunity to change the subject, looking at the seniors who were excitedly chatting about something after entering the lounge.

"I don't know." Daphne also changed the subject, "But there was only one game yesterday, there shouldn't be one today."

"Oh? You still pay attention to the Quidditch game?"

"I don't care! But Pansy said in the dormitory last night that Harry's arm was broken by the ball during the game yesterday, and he fell off the broom."

"...Ah? No way? How could I not know!"

"You spent a whole day here making potions yesterday, and you were still gloomy. Who would be so ignorant to come to you to talk about it!" Daphne took the opportunity to complain.

"...I have to go to the infirmary to see Harry." Lu Yunkai glanced at the potion that was still brewing, a little entangled.

"After dinner, there's no rush." ​​Daphne smiled and comforted.

At this time, one of the group of people who had just walked into the lounge came to Lu Yunkai.

"Yunkai!"

"Oh! Senior! What's the matter?" Lu Yunkai quickly responded with a smile.

"Can you tell us a little bit about what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is? We are really curious!"

"What Chamber of Secrets?" Lu Yunkai was stunned, then immediately reacted, "Has someone been attacked again?"

"Well, a first-year Gryffindor student named Creevey was petrified, and even the spell to remove the curse couldn't dissolve it."

"..."

"Okay!" Seeing Lu Yunkai's confused expression, the senior student smiled and nodded as if he understood something and left.

What do you understand? !

Lu Yunkai complained wildly in his heart.

Something was wrong. He thought the notebook would be restrained! Who knew why it suddenly attacked people again? Why was there a month interval? ?

What's going on with Ginny! ?

"Yunkai, it can't be Ginny..."

Daphne's face also showed a little worry and anxiety.

She is the only one who knows the secrets of Lu Yunkai, Ginny and the notebook.

"Maybe." Lu Yunkai didn't intend to hide it from Daphne, and nodded seriously.

"Then why would she attack Gryffindor? Shouldn't she attack us?"

"Who knows! Maybe the You-Know-Who led the attack?" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Or... by the way, who is that Creevey?"

"I can help you find a first-year student to ask." Daphne stood up, "Wait for me?"

"Yes! Thank you!"

"Why are you being so polite to me!"

Daphne smiled and rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, then walked away.

After a while, she brought back the news she had gotten from a first-year schoolmate.

That Creevey was a half-blood wizard, and he felt like an ordinary Gryffindor. If there was anything special about him, it was that he was a crazy admirer of Harry Potter, and he would often take a camera and follow Harry to take pictures of him.

Even according to the junior who gave Daphne the news, this Creevey was planning to set up a "Harry Potter Fans Association" with Ginny...

It sounds ridiculous, but not only Lu Yunkai, but even Daphne got some "conclusions" from it.

Perhaps this Creevey was attacked because he was close to Ginny.

It's just that Lu Yunkai and Daphne gave different reasons for this result.

Daphne thought that it might be because Ginny liked Harry, and felt that this Creevey disturbed the relationship between her and Harry, so she took action.

Lu Yunkai thought that it was probably because the mysterious man felt that it would be inconvenient for him to control Ginny mentally because Ginny had such a friend. After all, this looked very similar to the way the notebook alienated him and Chris.

In any case, this attack was exactly the same as the previous cat, but the target changed from animals to people ("Meow! You don't care about our cats being attacked, you have to wait until people get into trouble before you care!" Chris expressed dissatisfaction with this), making the atmosphere in Hogwarts tense all of a sudden.

People finally began to realize that the attack on Mrs. Norris was not a prank.
