Hogwarts Kryptonian

"This house of yours..."

"My partner bought it from a member of the Shafiq family. It comes from a legitimate source. Don't worry."

"……Um."

Slughorn looked at the house that belonged to Lu Yunkai in front of him with a strange expression, and for a moment he didn't seem to know what else to say.

On the fence, the ugly cat with mottled fur was squatting and staring at him, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

"This cat...is your magical pet?" Slughorn looked at Chrissy, "...this is not an ordinary cat!"

"Yes, Soul-Eating Lynx." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"...Soul-eating lynx?? Merlin's beard!! Where did you get such one..."

"It was the one who took me out of that beer hall. If it hadn't given me this wand and helped me leave that shabby place, I don't know if it would still be washing dishes there, or if it had already I'm starving to death." Lu Yunkai complained very directly.

Slughorn's expression stiffened.

"Actually... I went to the beer hall on the day you left. I was supposed to arrive earlier that day, but I met a Death Eater on the road and was delayed a bit." Slughorn explained, " You were gone by the time I arrived."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai didn't express any objection to this, he chose to believe it.

After all, Snape recognized his identity in the first Potions class. If Slughorn hadn't been paying attention to him, this matter wouldn't have happened so quickly.

"Meow, I recognize him." Chrissy raised her paw and pointed at Slughorn, "Is he your adoptive father?"

"...The previous owner of this cat was Jesse, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron." Lu Yunkai continued to introduce Chris to Slughorn.

"Oh! It's Jesse's soul-eating lynx! No wonder!" Slughorn nodded, "Then your luck is really good!"

"It's okay, please come in... Well, this house doesn't have a courtyard door, so if you want to get in, you have to climb over the wall." Lu Yunkai held the low courtyard wall with both hands and climbed in with a strong force.

Slughorn used a levitating spell, jumped slightly, and crossed the courtyard wall.

The two walked into the room together.

"Xueli." Lu Yunkai shouted.

"Master." The house elf appeared in response.

"Go arrange a guest room."

"yes."

Xue Li bowed to Lu Yunkai and Slughorn, and then disappeared.

"There is a house elf in this house? You... are really good." Slughorn said with a smile on his face.

"It's not bad." Lu Yun smiled, and then led Slughorn into the living room.

The guests and hosts were seated, black tea and snacks were served.

Lu Yunkai's hospitality was impeccable.

"You're doing much better than I imagined."

Slughorn took a sip from a beautiful black tea cup in his hand, then sighed softly and said.

"It's not bad. I'm lucky." Lu Yun smiled.

"No one can achieve this level by luck alone." Slughorn shook his head, "You don't have to be polite in this matter."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai nodded, no longer polite.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb your life." Slughorn continued: "You will be a very outstanding child. Severus told me that you sold a drop in Slytherin. After Phoenix Tears, I understood.”

"..."

"I won't interfere with your secrets." Slughorn looked at Lu Yunkai and smiled, "I knew you had a secret from the first time I saw you in the orphanage. "I never asked, did I?"

"...I have long forgotten about such a long time ago." Lu Yunkai's words were true.

His previous memories were really vague.

The plastic dagger handle that was dug out of his old house in Liverpool is still lying in his space bag!

"I know you must have a lot of things you want to ask me." Slughorn continued, "Just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"When Riddle asked you about the Horcrux, what exactly did he say?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Slughorn was stunned by his question, Lu Yunkai was also a little confused.

"I thought you would want to ask about your past." Slughorn smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you actually wanted to ask this."

Lu Yunkai was silent.

For a while.

He took out the crown from the cloth bag he carried with him and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

"This thing looks familiar."

"Ravenclaw's crown." Lu Yunkai nodded, "It has been made into a Horcrux by Riddle."

"..." Slughorn was stunned.

"I came into contact with the first Horcrux he made when I was in first grade, which was a notebook." Lu Yunkai said in a low voice: "That notebook wanted to control me, but because it underestimated me, Chris... Well, it was the cat's trust, so it failed. Later, the notebook controlled a Weasley girl in the second year and released the basilisk..."

"Severus told me that you killed the basilisk." Slughorn nodded, but his expression still looked shocked, "You mean those two things were made by Tom. Horcrux?"

"Yes." Lu Yunkai turned his hand and took out a bottle of explosive corrosive agent from the space bag, and threw it on the coffee table without saying a word.

The coffee table quickly dissolved and disappeared, turning into a puddle of black water. However, the Ravenclaw's diadem placed on it was not even stained by the potion except for a few slight vibrations.

Incredibly clean.

Lu Yunkai waved his magic wand, the residue of the potion disappeared, a new table appeared, and the crown was placed on the table again.

The room was eerily quiet during the entire process.

Of course, Lu Yunkai understood that it was impossible for people like Slughorn not to know the explosive corrosive potion, and it was even more impossible for him to not know the huge power of this seemingly low-key and restrained potion. Therefore, no explanation was needed.

Slughorn, who was sitting there, watched Lu Yunkai's operation with his eyes slightly squinted and said nothing.

"I heard from Dumbledore that Riddle trusted you the most when he was at Hogwarts." Lu Yunkai broke the silence, "For him at that time, it was impossible not to take this into consideration if he wanted to make a Horcrux. The thing was used as a last resort to save his life, but his first Horcrux was actually just an ordinary notebook... In other words, when he was making the Horcrux, he knew from the beginning that he would not just do it. Make one. But the books on how to make Horcruxes don’t state that you can make many of them..."

"Your thinking is very clear."

Slughorn interrupted Lu Yunkai.

Obviously, he didn't want to hear anything more from Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai chose to shut up.

Just looked at Slughorn quietly.

"I don't want to mention this matter, but you still have to force me?"

"I have dealt with Riddle a lot, and he is indeed a person who has insight into people's hearts." Lu Yun smiled, "Even though I didn't have a good impression of him from the beginning, and there was a guy next to me who always reminded me not to be deceived by him. Even if you were fooled by him, it wouldn’t be a big mistake.”

"That's a lot of lives!!" Slughorn let out a long sigh.

"Even if it wasn't for the purpose of making Horcruxes, he would still kill those who should be killed without mercy." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "So, what did he tell you about Horcruxes?"

"I don't want to tell you." Slughorn shook his head firmly, "I don't want you to get involved in this matter."

"The time is not very convenient now." Lu Yunkai raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. Otherwise, I can introduce you to a person who has a master-servant contract with me.

"...Who?" Hearing Lu Yunkai suddenly change the topic, Slughorn was a little confused.

"A woman named Nagini. The most trusted person around Voldemort." Lu Yunkai said with a smile, "A blood-cursed orc, but after I lifted the blood-cursed curse on her in some way, she became me Servant. Now she is still working for Voldemort... Of course, she is also my undercover. "

"..."

"Plus this." Lu Yunkai pointed to the crown on the table, "Do you think there is any possibility for me to stay out of the matter?"

"...Forget it. The path you chose is yours to walk on!"

Slughorn let out a long sigh and used his wand to take out a little silver thread from his eye.

Lu Yunkai didn't waste any time and directly took out the pensieve from the space bag.

"Pensieve? You actually have such a rare thing??" Seeing what Lu Yunkai took out casually, Slughorn's hand holding the wand was stunned.

"It's easy to buy something if you have money." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, and then took the memory handed over by Slughorn.

"Okay." Slughorn took a deep look at Lu Yunkai and stood up, "I'm leaving first."

"It's getting late, today you will..."

"No need." Slughorn shook his head, "I'd better find another place to live! After all..."

"I also have other things I want to ask you." Lu Yunkai interrupted Slughorn, "For example, my room at home in Liverpool..."

"I cast a little spell and only you can go in, and only once."

"The hilt of the sword I hid in the room..."

"You brought it from the East. I don't know the specific origin. It's just that you have treasured it since you were a child, so I will let you do it."

"Is that so?" Lu Yunkai nodded silently.

The memory of that sword hilt has been completely lost!

"Any more questions?" Slughorn smiled.

"Actually, there are many more." Lu Yunkai was silent for a while, "But after the term starts, I should still have a lot of time to ask you for advice at school, right?"

"Of course." Slughorn nodded.

"Then you came with me just now to see how I am doing, what do you want to say to me?" Lu Yunkai asked again.

Quiet again.

After a while, Slughorn smiled.

"Well, I feel more at ease when you look like this." Slughorn smiled for a while and sighed softly, "You are more alert than I thought."

"And you're not saying it now... From the very beginning you wanted me not to get involved in Voldemort's affairs, right?" Lu Yunkai tentatively revealed his guess.

"Yes. But you seem to have sunk in very deep." Slughorn glanced at the crown and nodded, "In this case, there is nothing I can do to stop you."

"Um……"

"But you have to understand, I still hope you can live a stable life." Slughorn said seriously: "The matter between Albus and Tom cannot be explained clearly, but I want to Let me tell you, it’s not that simple. After you get involved..."

"...Voldemort took me with him to meet Grindelwald. He said that I resembled Grindelwald. And Grindelwald said that Voldemort probably wanted to train me as his successor." Lu Yunkai interrupted Si Raghorn's words.

Again, quiet.

Slughorn stood there looking at Lu Yunkai with disbelief.

A long time.

"It turns out that you are my best collection in all these years." Slughorn sighed softly, with a smile on his face that Lu Yunkai could confirm was relieved.

"you……"

Lu Yunkai was stunned.
