Hogwarts Kryptonian

"That's just the way it is."

Lu Yunkai told Hermione what he heard about Sirius from Daphne's father.

The Leaky Cauldron was bustling with people, and the two people hiding in the corner were not very eye-catching, especially since Hermione had used a spell to ensure that people around them would not hear the conversation between the two of them.

"This man is so hateful." Hermione said with resentment on her face, "Harry's father believed in him so much, but he betrayed Mr. Potter's trust!"

"So we must not let Harry know about this! With his bad temper..." Lu Yunkai sighed, "I'm afraid it's really possible to stand on the street and call Black to kill him."

"..." After hearing Lu Yunkai's words, Hermione sighed silently.

Lu Yunkai's worry is very reasonable. No wonder Ron's father warned Ron so much!

Seeing that Hermione seemed to have nothing more to ask, Lu Yunkai apologized and stood up.

Although Daphne ran very fast when she left just now, Lu Yunkai guessed that the girl was probably waiting for him at her home.

If he really stayed with Hermione all day, even if she didn't say anything, the little Astoria girl wouldn't be able to spare him.

Fireplace floo powder, easy to use.

"Brother-in-law, you came back very quickly!"

"……nonsense!"

Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Astoria who had a small golden snake wrapped around his neck and looked at him with a smile.

"You are smart! If the delay takes too long..." Astoria smiled and touched the golden python's head, "Elsa, say hello!"

The golden python looked in the direction of Lu Yunkai and spat out the snake letter.

"...Where is your sister?"

"In the study room." Astoria saw that Lu Yunkai seemed a little afraid of her snake, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She reached out and touched the snake's head, and then left with a proud look on her face.

In fact, I'm not really afraid of it, I'm worried that it will be eaten by Chris later...

Lu Yunkai glanced at the snake, turned around and left.

…

Hermione didn't tell Harry about the incident that made her bang on the table with rage. After struggling for a week and opening two letters with Lu Yun, she also moved to the Leaky Cauldron to spend the rest of the summer vacation.

In fact, Lu Yunkai did not advise her to do this.

But except for him, no one seemed to think that Blake would dare to enter the Leaky Cauldron with so many Aurors on duty, so even Daphne no longer cared about Lu Yunkai after taking her sister to visit Diagon Alley. He received a warning and started going to the bar to play with him every day.

Ron also moved here after asking for his father's permission.

The Leaky Cauldron, which had been a little deserted, suddenly became lively.

After having a new playmate, Harry no longer came to hang out with Lu Yunkai every day like before.

Slytherin and Gryffindor also began to become distinct in the Leaky Cauldron...

In this way, the remaining month passed quietly, and finally, the new semester arrived.

A large group of people in the Leaky Cauldron just ignored Harry's "security guard" and arrived at King's Cross Station. Astoria, who was riding here for the first time, was so excited that she almost overturned the cart...

Fortunately, Lu Yunkai, who was already familiar with driving, calmly helped her handle everything. After saying hello to Harry and the other three, he took this curious little girl into the car with Malfoy and the others.

The carriage was very lively, and all the students were chatting about their summer vacation experiences and travels.

It was also at this time that Lu Yunkai learned that except for him, Daphne, Malfoy, who was grounded by his father, and the four Blaises who had to stay at home due to their father's death, almost no other students had their summer vacation arrangements affected by Black's incident.

The Bermuda cruise that Lu Yunkai and Daphne didn't go to for some reason happened to be on Millicent's itinerary.

Listening to Millicent's story about the wizard's party on the cruise ship, Daphne was filled with envy.

In this way, the train moved forward.

"Why is it raining so hard today?"

Not wanting to hear Pansy tell the story of how she pestered her mother to get a necklace that was said to increase luck from a well-known wizard, Blaise whispered to Lu Yunkai, who was sitting opposite.

It's not that he has any objections to Pansy, but he has already guessed that the necklace will probably be given to Malfoy as a gift in the end...

Blaise simply shouldn't be too sensitive to the sour smell of love.

"I don't know. It was sunny when I was in London just now." Lu Yunkai also looked out the window.

The rain was pouring down from the sky, and the sky was dark with thick clouds, giving people a feeling of being out of breath.

"I hope the rain will stop before we get to school." Blaise sighed softly.

"I'm tired of seeing it." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "By the way, I didn't see your mother send you to the station today..."

"What are you doing?" Blaise rolled his eyes at Lu Yunkai. "I really advise you to stay away from her. Your life is not as hard as you think!"

"...I want to ask her when Knockturn Alley will reopen. I still hope to sell potions in the store!" Lu Yunkai gave Blaise a roll of his eyes.

"Hanging." Blaise whispered again about the Ministry of Magic's warning to Knockturn Alley shops not to open.

"Looks like I have to save some money at school this year!" Lu Yun sighed with a smile.

"What are you afraid of! I heard from my mother that you asked her to help hire someone to grow herbs for you..."

"Growing herbs? Why did you start doing this kind of work?" Malfoy, who was also not very interested in the story Pansy told, interjected.

Compared to Lu Yunkai, who would rather squat in the Leaky Cauldron for his own safety, Malfoy really couldn't understand why his father didn't let him go out for activities. Naturally, he really couldn't listen to the things Pansy said.

Even he himself could have guessed that the things Pansy talked about working so hard to get would eventually be given to him...

"I thought that since the refining of potions consumes a lot of herbal raw materials, it would be better to grow some of the more expensive ones myself." Lu Yunkai explained to Malfoy with a smile.

"Then now that you have nowhere to sell your magic potions, what will you do with these herbs?"

"You can also sell herbal medicine directly to the store in Diagon Alley!" Lu Yun smiled, "I have already negotiated with the boss Giggs at the pharmacy, and he promised to accept the herbal medicine from me."

"Isn't that such a loss? Can you earn back the labor costs?" Malfoy was a little worried.

"Definitely! Lu Yunkai's ability to make money, none of us can match it." Speaking of this, Blaise was happy and convinced of Lu Yun.

He knew the details of the lucky bag sales plan.

"But I can't make much money, it's just basic expenses...Eh? Why did the train stop?"

Before Lu Yunkai finished speaking, the Hogwarts Express that was moving forward suddenly stopped.

"It's not the station yet!" Daphne, who was sitting by the window, glanced outside.

The Hogwarts platform did not appear.

At this moment, the lights in the carriage suddenly flickered. After a few flashes, it went completely dark.

Originally, the sky outside the car was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Now, as soon as the lights were turned off, it seemed as if everyone in the car had fallen into the darkness.

Lu Yunkai clearly felt it, and Astoria, who was sitting next to him, hugged his arm.

The little girl was scared...well, I don't blame her, Daphne on the other side acted exactly the same as her sister.

"It's okay. Maybe there was a minor malfunction on the train?" Lu Yunkai calmly took out his wand and waved it.

Immediately, there was a sound of "fluorescent lights flashing" in the carriage.

"You are so calm! Don't you think times like this are scary?" Malfoy held the wand in his hand and said to Lu Yunkai with a smile.

"There's nothing to be afraid of! No one will die." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Ah! Brother-in-law!! Look at the window..."

"How many times have I told you not to call him that in school!" Daphne on the other side couldn't care less about her fear anymore and jumped up to teach her sister a lesson.

"...Daphne, you and Lu Yunkai..." Pansy's tone contained a bit of envy.

"No, don't get me wrong..."

…

However, Lu Yunkai no longer cared about getting involved in the little theater of these girls, and his eyes fell on the lathe.

The raindrops fell on the car window, forming a thin film of water, and then instantly...frozen into ice. Lu Yunkai even saw the breath coming from Daphne's mouth when she was teaching Astoria a lesson.

It’s only September! Do you want it to be so cold?

Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to push Daphne, who was standing up and holding his sister's ears, down on the seat, and then gently pushed her behind him.

Daphne, who was furious from embarrassment, calmed down instantly.

She was very familiar with this action. A few months ago, when she faced the Soul-Eating Lynx and Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest... Well, now the Soul-Eating Lynx was sleeping on Lu Yunkai's lap.

"dangerous?"

"There's something weird." Lu Yunkai said softly, causing Astoria, who was still crying and howling, to become silent.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew past the car window.

"What is that? A ghost??" Malfoy, who saw it first, exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid! It's not like I haven't seen ghosts before." Lu Yunkai's words calmed the panicked Malfoy to some extent.

Indeed, there are quite a few ghosts in Hogwarts, including Bloody Barrow and Nearly Headless Nick.

only.

There was a banging sound from the door of the carriage.

The door opened.

Something is on board...

The group of wizard apprentices in the carriage suddenly became nervous again.

Then Lu Yunkai saw a huge black rag floating in from the direction of the door.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

I saw the piece of rag floating in the air, and the face exposed in the rag that looked like it had been soaked in water for hundreds of years and had no facial features, was swaying from side to side, as if looking for something.

It floated very slowly, making everyone in the car feel as if time had stopped.

After a while, it finally arrived at the place where Lu Yunkai and his group gathered.

Its gaze swept over everyone.

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt that when it looked at him, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came over him.

That belonged to the little Lu Yunkai of the past... It seemed that there was no hope or happiness in this world, only boundless despair.

And this little fluctuation in his heart seemed to be keenly noticed by the monster.

Its body turned towards Lu Yunkai and stared at him.

at this time.

"Meow~~"

Chrissy, who had been sleeping on Lu Yunkai's lap, suddenly screamed.

The monster stood up, turned around, and left the car.
