Chapter 91 Time for Tea

Although part of the truth was concealed, Lu Yunkai and Hermione reached a consensus happily.

Compared with Ginny (including Harry) who didn't know any magic, the basilisk was much more dangerous, and Hermione was very clear about this.

It is estimated that Hermione also guessed that the reason why Lu Yunkai targeted the basilisk was that he must have the idea of ​​revenge for Chris. However, Hermione liked Chris very much, and even told Lu Yunkai more than once that she also wanted to raise a cat as a magic pet. She must support Lu Yunkai's behavior.

After a short meeting in the library, Lu Yunkai went to prepare a trap to deal with the basilisk, while Hermione was responsible for finding a way to get Harry to help open the door of the secret room, and not to go on an adventure because of curiosity or other reasons.

Both of their jobs are simple to say, but not easy to do.

Lu Yunkai didn't know what Hermione was going to do, but he soon ran into trouble.

After Dumbledore was "temporarily suspended", the Ministry of Magic's investigation into the heir of Slytherin was officially launched.

However, compared to sending people to the school to visit and investigate, those officials prefer to pursue accountability. In Hogwarts, in addition to Dumbledore, who has been forced to leave school, there is another ready-made target for accountability: Hagrid, who was expelled for a Hogwarts murder decades ago.

The officials will definitely not admit that he was wronged because of Voldemort, so poor Hagrid was once again "invited" away by the Ministry of Magic.

Lu Yunkai, who knew Hagrid was innocent, naturally would not really worry about his safety, but after Hagrid left school, Lu Yunkai's preparations did face huge challenges: the situation of the batch of chickens he sent to Hagrid became a little embarrassing.

Hogwarts has chickens all year round, and these chickens will provide students with eggs and chicken legs and breasts and other ingredients. Because of this, the chickens raised in Hogwarts, like the chickens in most chicken farms, are hens.

The rooster Lu Yunkai gave to Hagrid seemed a bit "different" among them.

Apart from crowing, it was useless...

So the house elves at Hogwarts were very inclined to turn these noisy guys who couldn't lay eggs into fried chicken legs as soon as possible.

In order to prevent this from happening, Lu Yunkai had to secretly take the roosters out of Hagrid's ranch and put them in a place on the edge of the Forbidden Forest where he cast a protective spell.

But Lu Yunkai didn't have much confidence in his magic level, so he was always worried that the chickens would be killed by spiders and big cats in the woods, or "accidents" such as notebooks in the castle.

In the Forbidden Forest, the Soul-Eating Lynx still avoided Lu Yunkai. Since feeding it medicine that time, Lu Yunkai has never seen it again.

This made Lu Yunkai's plan to deal with the basilisk seem more and more full of loopholes.

And this is not the worst.

…

"What happened to you?"

Another day, Lu Yunkai just went to the forbidden forest to feed the chickens and add water, and looked for the big cat for a long time but found nothing. He returned to the castle with a gloomy face. Just when he wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while, he was blocked by a red-haired girl.

He was really angry when he saw Ginny now.

"I've been looking for you in the castle for a long time!" Ginny looked even angrier than Lu Yunkai, "Where did you go?"

"You're not my girlfriend, why do you care so much!" Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"It's bad!" Ginny seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with Lu Yunkai, and the anxious expression on her face showed her mood at the moment: "The notebook... was picked up by Harry."

"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded.

You just found out?

For more than half a month, I watched him walking around with that notebook every day, and I was numb.

"You... why did you react like that!! That notebook..."

"It's much safer in Harry's hands than in yours." Lu Yunkai interrupted Ginny, "Although he sometimes does things a little rashly, he still knows right from wrong."

"...Are you saying that I don't know right from wrong?"

"Don't tell me that Chris's matter has nothing to do with you!" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Ginny.

He could understand that Ginny would become dark and cruel after being affected by the notebook, but that didn't mean he could accept it. He didn't mention it before, but it wasn't because he forgave Ginny.

"...That matter really has nothing to do with me!!"

"Don't come on! If Voldemort had taken action, I don't believe Chris would have survived."

"Really! That was an accident... Wait a minute!! What did you say? Voldemort?" Ginny was dumbfounded.

"...Dear Miss Weasley, you haven't been fooled for half a year, and you still don't know who is fooling you?" Lu Yunkai smiled speechlessly.

"I really don't know! He said his name is Tom Riddle. And I checked it out, Slytherin College did have such an excellent student in both character and learning!!"

"Okay!" Lu Yunkai was too lazy to argue with Ginny on this issue, "So, you said Chris's incident was an accident?"

"Yes! That day I found that my brother's mouse seemed to have discovered my situation, and I was a little worried. Tom advised me that the mouse was already very old and probably wouldn't live long, otherwise let it go where it should go..."

"...Ron's mouse??"

"Yeah. Its fur has almost fallen off, and it's so stupid that Ron couldn't figure out where it was and thought it was dead." Ginny nodded, "And that mouse stole food from my house last summer, so it was annoying... So I agreed to arrange a monster to deal with Scabbers. But I didn't expect that Chris was in trouble, but Scabbers seemed fine. Later, Tom told me that Chris was a special animal and would not be hurt by monsters, so I was relieved."

"The life of a mouse is also a life!!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

Then he suddenly remembered something. Chris seemed to have told him that the mouse was transformed from a human.

Although Lu Yunkai had never taken this matter to heart, when he thought that it had discovered what Ginny was doing...

Why do I feel so cold!

"Can we go into the castle to talk?" Lu Yunkai looked around and said to Ginny.

"There are too many people inside, I don't want anyone to see me talking to you." Ginny shook her head, "I mean, the notebook is in Harry's hand, can you think of a way?"

"In the whole Hogwarts, except for the suspended headmaster, no one is more suitable than Harry to deal with Voldemort." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "That thing is safe in his hands."

"How is it possible!! I think..."

"Voldemort thought so before he was killed by Harry." Lu Yunkai spread his hands, "It's not about what you think, nor what I think, but what Voldemort thinks."

"..." Ginny was speechless by Lu Yunkai's words.

"By the way, can I ask you something about that basilisk..."

"Ah! You know it's a basilisk?"

"... Do I know what's strange? I mean, is that basilisk something you release every time you want to attack or..."

"I'm not going to attack!! It's... Sometimes I forget what happened to me, and when I come to my senses, things happen." Ginny refuted Lu Yunkai with a little scream: "Why would I attack people..."

"So you don't know whether the basilisk is locked in the secret room or wandering around the school?" Lu Yunkai was too lazy to argue with Ginny about this matter.

Whether it was mental control or hypnosis through suggestion, or some other magic, it was your body that opened the secret room anyway.

"In the secret room. Because that thing is very dangerous, so every time I would..."

Ginny lowered her head halfway through her words.

"It's okay, don't blame you. Twenty or thirty years ago, wizards who were much more powerful than you couldn't escape the control of that guy, let alone you." Lu Yunkai comforted Ginny out of courtesy.

"Yeah." Ginny nodded, "That notebook..."

"...You are such a stubborn girl! I've told you several times! That notebook is safest in Harry's hands!!" Lu Yunkai's emotions were a little out of control.

This girl's stubbornness... Really annoying!

"..."

"Don't get involved in this matter." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Even if the sky falls, Dumbledore and Harry will support it. This is how the wizarding world survived more than a decade ago. You have to get used to it."

After saying that, without waiting for Ginny to say anything else, he wanted to leave directly.

"Wait a minute!" Ginny was a little annoyed and pulled Lu Yunkai who wanted to walk into the castle from her side, "Can I ask you for help? I don't want to hurt Harry!!"

"I told you, you can't hurt him!" Lu Yunkai was completely annoyed, "You can help him if you stay quietly!"

"..."

Seeing Lu Yunkai angry, Ginny was startled and let go of Lu Yunkai's hand.

Lu Yunkai did not stay for a moment and went back to the Slytherin lounge.

Daphne's smiling face came to him.

"Are you cold? Have a cup of hot tea!" Daphne said as she handed Lu Yunkai a cup of steaming lemon tea.

Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, but he still took it and took a sip.

Well, after swallowing it, I felt much better.

"Is there a cold-repellent potion in it?" Lu Yunkai immediately reacted.

"Yeah. Didn't you go to the Forbidden Forest?"

"Keep your voice down." Lu Yunkai glanced around, "The Forbidden Forest is the Forbidden Forest after all..."

"Oh! I understand." Daphne waved her hand, "Anyway, the Forbidden Forest is not as dangerous as Hogwarts Castle now."

"The latest news is that the castle should be safe recently..."

"Is this the reason why you talked to Ginny for a long time at the gate of the castle just now?"

"..."

"Humph! I tell you! Don't be fooled by her pretending to be pitiful!" Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai and turned away.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

For a long time.

"This tea... won't be a problem, right?" Lu Yunkai just remembered to pick up the lemon tea and smell it.

It seems that I have to be careful next time...
