Hogwarts Kryptonian

It was another summer vacation without Daphne around. For Lu Yunkai, this feeling was even getting used to.

Ever since Voldemort became active, Balon seems to have been worried about the sisters Daphne and Astoria staying with Lu Yunkai outside the school. After going back and forth, Lu Yunkai has even begun to get used to the feeling of spending his own holidays...

It sounds quite pitiful.

But this is not something completely unacceptable. Just thinking about Blaise, Lu Yunkai feels that he can still chat with Daphne through the communication mirror every day, which is already very good.

Moreover, Daphne was not at home, and Lu Yunkai secretly summoned the devil or something, but she didn't know...

Well, although Irene ostensibly agreed to Daphne's request and helped her keep an eye on Lu Yunkai when Daphne was not at home, in fact, Irene still supported Lu Yunkai's attempt to help Daphne lift the curse.

"Like a man, not bad."

This is Erin's assessment.

So Lu Yunkai started summoning the devil unscrupulously at home.

However, his luck may have been spent on getting a good girlfriend. When it comes to summoning the devil, his luck can be said to be amazing... but it can't be said to be bad.

Here's the thing. After Lu Yunkai's last "test", it took him about three days to rest if he summoned a demon that lasted about ten minutes, so he summoned the demon twice in the first week, and both were successful.

It's just that the demon summoned twice was actually the same one...

A big crow.

And what this demon is good at is of little use to Lu Yunkai: it is good at identifying herbs and gems.

But the problem is... Lu Yunkai has no interest in gems at all. As for the herbal medicines, Irene helps manage the herbal fields and the system helps to identify them, so there is no need to learn them by yourself!

Therefore, these two summons and a week were basically wasted.

After two summonses, Lu Yunkai also stopped. He began to suspect that maybe there was a so-called "rotation" in summoning demon gods, that is, the same one was summoned over a period of time...

However, there is no evidence to support this speculation.

The reason why Lu Yunkai stopped trying to summon him was that besides this speculation, there was another reason: Dumbledore contacted Lu Yunkai and he had already found traces of Slughorn.

It is estimated that soon, he will ask Lu Yunkai to follow him to convince his adoptive father to teach at Hogwarts. In order to avoid going when his summoning was weak, Lu Yunkai also planned to wait for a week or two before trying.

However, at this time, Dumbledore fully demonstrated his power of action as the greatest wizard of his generation.

Just the second night after he notified Lu Yunkai...

"Harry?? Why are you here?"

"...Lu Yunkai? Can you apparate?"

When Lu Yunkai followed Dumbledore's instructions and came to a Muggle house, he was obviously stunned by Harry Potter who was following Dumbledore.

"For safety, I learned this." Lu Yunkai shook his head and did not elaborate, "Are you... coming to persuade my adoptive father?"

"The professor said he hoped I could come." Harry glanced at Dumbledore.

"Double insurance." Dumbledore nodded, "Some things can't be delayed for too long, right?"

"...Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, but gave Dumbledore a look.

Dumbledore was slightly startled and smiled.

"Is there anything you can't say to Harry's face?"

"...I don't want to get Harry involved." Lu Yunkai was a little annoyed when he heard that Dumbledore had directly exposed his eyes.

"Ever since I was left with this scar, it has been impossible for me to stay out of it." Harry on the side didn't seem very grateful to Lu Yunkai's "kindness".

"...here." Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth and took out the Ravenclaw crown from the ordinary bag he carried.

"What is this?" Harry was shocked when he saw Lu Yunkai taking out a crown studded with gems.

Although his parents left him a lot of inheritance, it was still far inferior to that of a wealthy family. This was the first time he had seen such a gorgeous gemstone crown.

"Why... is this in your hand?" Dumbledore was obviously taken aback when he saw what Lu Yunkai took out.

"I found it accidentally in school." Lu Yunkai glanced at Harry, "You know that place too, Harry."

"Room of Requirement??" Harry was very surprised, "When did it happen?"

"Freshman year." Lu Yunkai replied casually, and then looked at Dumbledore, "I found this. I can't destroy it, so you should do it."

"...Are you sure??" Dumbledore's eyelids twitched.

"I won't believe it if there isn't some weird black magic on a crown that doesn't take the explosive corrosive potion."

"If Professor Flitwick finds out that you actually threw explosive corrosive potion on it, I'm afraid he will challenge you to a duel." Dumbledore said happily.

"Professor Flitwick??" Harry became more and more curious, "Professor, what on earth is this...?"

"This crown exists on a painting in my principal's office." Dumbledore said patiently to Harry: "It once belonged to Rowena Ravenclaw."

"..." Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"But I'm curious. You discovered it when you were in first grade. Why did you take it out now?" Dumbledore looked at Lu Yunkai again and asked.

"At that time, I discovered that the whole crown was a little weird. For example, it couldn't be thrown into the space bag." Lu Yunkai said seriously: "It wasn't until Chris saw Bellatrix mysteriously walking into Gringotts some time ago. , it reminded me that the most suitable place in the world to hide things..."

"Gringotts and Hogwarts." Dumbledore nodded, "Well, you are indeed a smart student. I think your adoptive father will be proud of you."

"...Is this crown going to be given to you, Professor?" Lu Yunkai wanted to hand the crown to Dumbledore.

However.

"Take it first." Dumbledore did not reach out to take it. "How can I remove the dark magic on it without damaging the crown? I also need to think about it first. After I think of a solution, you can Give me."

"...Isn't it safer to leave it at your place?"

"As far as I know, there is no place in England that is safer than the ancestral home of the Shafik family." Dumbledore shook his head, "Not even Hogwarts."

"...Okay." Hearing what Dumbledore said, Lu Yunkai's heart skipped a beat.

There is something wrong with this.

Dumbledore...why do you feel so afraid of touching this crown?

However, this conjecture flashed across Lu Yunkai's mind.

Because Dumbledore had already reached out and pushed open the door of the Muggle house.

After walking across a small front lawn, Dumbledore waved the wand in his hand and unlocked the door.

open the door.

The room was dark.

The three wizards used their wands at the same time to cast the fluorescent flashing spell.

The room lit up.

But it became more terrifying.

The whole room was in a mess. Broken walls, leaky roof, glass shards all over the floor, and faint drops of blood dripping from upstairs.

It looked like there had just been a big battle or massacre here.

A familiar feeling came to Lu Yunkai's heart.

It feels exactly like the house in Liverpool.

and.

Lu Yunkai frowned.

Sniffed with his nose.

"What, did you find anything?" Dumbledore glanced at Harry, who was looking a little horrified, and then asked Lu Yunkai.

"...Dragon blood." Lu Yunkai reached out to catch a drop of blood dripping from the roof, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and said with certainty, "This is too fake."

"Yes." Dumbledore smiled happily and nodded.

Then he waved the wand in his hand.

A spell breaking spell flew towards a sofa in the room.

The spell hit the sofa, which quickly shrank and changed.

Soon he turned into a fat old man.

The blond hair is a bit messy, and a lot of it is even a little gray. There are also a lot of wrinkles on his face, and he looks very old. Wearing plaid pajamas, it was obvious that he was sleeping before Dumbledore came in.

"Albus! How could you greet an old friend like this?" The old man's tone was full of complaints.

"No one greets their children like you, right?" Dumbledore glanced at Lu Yunkai with a smile.

The old man looked at Lu Yunkai.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Yunkai saw an indescribable feeling in the old man's eyes...

Appreciation? Is it gratification? Or...happy?

have no idea.

But there were no such things in Lu Yunkai's expression.

"Severus told me that you have broken the magic I cast on you?" the old man, Slughorn, asked Lu Yunkai.

"Yeah, but I didn't think of much, except that the guy in the beer hall had nothing to do with me, which made me a little relieved." Lu Yunkai's words were not very polite.

Slughorn was obviously taken aback when he heard Lu Yunkai's tone.

"You can't expect a child who was thrown into such a place to suffer at such a young age to still smile when he sees you again after so many years, right?" Dumbledore interrupted at the right time.

Slughorn's expression changed slightly again.

With a little bit of shame.

"I can't help it. You have also seen...I have lived like this most of the years." Slughorn pointed to the room where violent cases seemed to have occurred, and said to Lu Yunkai, "Let you It's more dangerous to follow me."

"I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded, "So today we are here to give you another choice."

Lu Yunkai's words made Dumbledore slightly startled beside him.

He didn't expect Lu Yunkai to tell the purpose of his trip so directly.

"...Go back to Hogwarts to teach?" Slughorn smiled and shook his head, "That's not as good as now."

"Hogwarts is better than this, right?" Lu Yunkai disagreed, "Besides... just do me a favor."

"Help you?"

"Professor Dumbledore promised to hire me as the Potions Professor at Hogwarts after I graduate. I have two years to graduate." Lu Yunkai said seriously, "I am quite interested in this job. "

"...I heard that you are rich now. Is it still necessary to teach at Hogwarts?"

"Did you teach at Hogwarts for money?" Lu Yunkai asked back.

Quiet.

"Horace, I have to say that everyone who knows you will feel from the bottom of their hearts that he is so much like you." Dumbledore sighed softly and broke the silence in the room.

"...I heard that you won the Triwizard Cup?" Slughorn did not answer Dumbledore's words, but continued to ask Lu Yunkai.

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai glanced at Harry beside him and nodded.

"This is Harry Potter, right?" Slughorn looked at Harry, who was following Lu Yunkai and remained silent.

"Hello, sir." Harry greeted Slughorn politely.

He was a little self-conscious because he caught Slughorn staring at the scar on Harry's forehead.

After a while.

"You really look like your father. Except for your eyes..."

"Like my mother's eyes." Harry nodded.

Even Lu Yunkai had heard this countless times, not to mention Harry himself.

"...Yeah. I still remember your mother...a smart and beautiful girl...really smart. Although she was born as a Muggle, she is no worse than any student from a pure-blood wizarding family..."

"I also know a Muggle-born girl. She is also the smartest student in our grade...well, she is similar to Lu Yunkai." Harry glanced at Lu Yunkai and added half a sentence.

"Hermione is smarter than me." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I can't learn a course like Arithmetic Divination. It gives me a headache just looking at it."

Harry smiled after hearing Lu Yunkai's humility.

Lu Yunkai also laughed.

The atmosphere in the room was at least a little more relaxed.

"What else can I say?" Slughorn sighed softly and glanced at Dumbledore, who was smiling but silent next to him, "I can go back, but my office needs to be fixed for me. A little, and I also want a salary increase...by 40%."

"No problem." Dumbledore agreed simply, "In that case, Harry and I will leave first."

"...Okay." Slughorn glanced at Harry and nodded.

Harry and Lu Yunkai looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed Dumbledore away.

Slughorn took out his wand and waved it, and the messy room was restored to its original state as quickly as possible.

"Sit down." Slughorn pointed to the well-trimmed sofa next to him and sat down himself.

"...If there is anything to talk about, it may not be safe here." Lu Yunkai looked around, stretched out his wand, and added a few protective spells.

Slughorn was stunned.

"...You are very familiar with using these secret spells!"

"I use it all the time, of course I'm familiar with it." Lu Yunkai smiled and sat down, "otherwise we should go to my house and have a chat. It's safer there."

"...you have a family?"

"Don't you know that I am quite rich now?" Lu Yunkai said with a natural smile.

"...Are you sure it's safe? But there are a few haunting people who have been looking for me. After I take them to your house..."

"Don't worry, even Tom Riddle can't find my house."

"...let's go."

Upon hearing Voldemort's name, Slughorn's expression was obviously embarrassed.

Then he stood up decisively.
