Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Severus, you're late."

Dumbledore glanced at the clock on the wall, smiled and said to Snape who walked into the room.

"The Dark Lord temporarily assigned me some tasks, so I went to deal with them." Snape glanced at Lu Yunkai.

"Do you need me to leave first?" Lu Yun said, imitating what Sirius just said.

"No need." Dumbledore shook his head, then looked at Snape: "Are you very busy these days?"

"Very busy." Snape nodded and looked away from Lu Yunkai, "The Dark Lord has been busy preparing to control the Ministry of Magic recently and has a lot to do."

"Ministry of Magic... forget it, let him." Dumbledore sighed softly and shook his head, "Anyway, he can't control the people in the Ministry of Magic even if he wants to."

"But it will also cause a lot of trouble. The Ministry of Magic proved last year that they did a great job of causing us trouble." Snape shook his head.

Lu Yunkai twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

really……

"Besides the Ministry of Magic, is there anything else?" Dumbledore changed the subject almost forcibly, thus interrupting Snape's unwilling argument.

"There's nothing else lately. The Dark Lord is looking for something that can help him kill Harry Potter, but he hasn't found a suitable solution yet." Snape glanced at Lu Yunkai, "But he has warned others, Don't do anything to Harry."

"You can't even arrest him and kill him?" Lu Yunkai interrupted.

Snape was slightly startled.

"This is what worries me." Lu Yunkai glanced at Dumbledore, and then continued to say to Snape: "If it is convenient, it would be better to confirm it. If we can find a way to block this road, Stay, then Harry shouldn't be in much danger for the time being."

"Yeah. He didn't say it, but... it's best not to mention it." Snape squinted his eyes and nodded, "By the way, did he contact you after this summer vacation?"

"Lucius told me on platform nine and three-quarters that Voldemort asked me not to go to him this summer." Lu Yunkai relayed truthfully: "Although I don't know why, I decided to listen to him first."

"But be careful." Dumbledore interjected, "He definitely wants to use you as one of the weapons against Harry, and he must stay put for the time being."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai understood this and naturally had no objection.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Snape glanced at Lu Yunkai, and then said to Dumbledore.

"Thank you for your hard work." Dumbledore nodded.

"Um...oh! By the way! Wait a minute!" Just as Snape was turning around to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Dumbledore again, "I think you should tell Lu Yunkai about the ring. ”

"...That's not necessary, is it?" Dumbledore shook his head.

"Perhaps." Snape nodded, "There is something you may not be aware of... Lu Yunkai has mastered a very effective magic that can lift the curse."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Dumbledore was slightly startled.

"Yes. He can even lift the powerful blood curse." Snape looked at Lu Yunkai, "Perhaps this curse can only be left to him."

"Curse? What curse?" Lu Yunkai was a little confused and looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled slightly and raised his left hand.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

That hand... rather than a hand, it would be more appropriate to say it was a skeleton. The black skin is tightly attached to the bones of the hand, and there is no trace of muscle. It is really scary.

"When I was looking for Horcruxes, I accidentally provoked a trap set by Tom." Dumbledore sighed softly, put down his hand, and continued: "I was caught by this curse."

"Is this curse very difficult?" Lu Yunkai asked Snape.

"I can only control it in the hands of the Headmaster, but I still can't completely limit its spread." Snape shook his head seriously.

"How could you be so careless?" Lu Yunkai smiled bitterly and said, "Is it... because you saw the resurrection stone on the ring and couldn't help but want to use it?"

"...How do you know?" Dumbledore was stunned again.

"Today in the communication mirror, I saw the ring inlaid with Resurrection Stone on your desk." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "In the afternoon, I went to the naysayer editor-in-chief Lovegood and asked for some advice. Regarding the Deathly Hallows, I guess the ring with the Resurrection Stone should be one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.”

"...Yeah. Your guess is absolutely correct." Dumbledore looked at Snape, who was a little dumbfounded, and then nodded to Lu Yunkai, "I found this in the ruins of Tom's hometown. A ring, because...well, for some reasons, I recognize the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on it, and I also have dead people I want to see..."

"Ariana?"

"..."

"Sorry, I'm too talkative." Lu Yunkai smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "This... I can understand it."

"...You know too many things." Snape sighed softly.

Dumbledore became silent.

"Is there really no other way to remove this curse?" Lu Yunkai looked at Snape and asked.

"I can't find it anyway." Snape shook his head seriously, "What, you don't want to use that method?"

"That method... has side effects." Lu Yunkai said helplessly: "Otherwise, I would have helped Daphne and Astoria lift the curse on them."

"What side effects?" Snape squinted his eyes.

"After I help dispel the magic, the person who is disenchanted will become my slave."

"Slave? That means Nagini...why didn't you mention it to me before??" Snape was a little ridiculous.

"What's there to say? Although I can order her to do anything, I don't want to do it. The blood-cursed orcs are already very pitiful, why should I make things difficult for her?" Lu Yunkai helplessly spread his hands, "Anyway She originally wanted to take revenge on Voldemort, so just let her do it according to her own ideas!"

Snape froze.

For a while.

"...Nagini is the person whom the Dark Lord trusts most now." Snape smiled bitterly, "He is actually...your slave??"

"Professor, I must say, unless it is extremely necessary, I will not give direct orders to Nagini." Lu Yunkai reminded Snape, and of course, he said it to Dumbledore, " It’s really despicable to embarrass a poor blood-cursed orc.”

"Well, I completely agree with what you said." Dumbledore took over from Lu Yunkai, his expression looked very pleased, "Even if you want to accomplish something, you can choose your own way. Your choice is worth it. I applaud you."

"...Thank you." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "What about your curse? I think the curse you are currently casting should be very powerful. And I can't determine the origin of this curse set by Voldemort now, nor can I use other methods. Come here to try your luck..."

"Severus has helped me limit this curse." Dumbledore smiled, "I didn't want you to know it at first."

"Then you want to wait for this curse to spread??" Lu Yunkai looked incomprehensible.

"Then it's impossible for me... right?" Dumbledore asked Lu Yunkai with a smile.

Indeed, making Dumbledore his "slave"? ?

This is indeed not a pleasant thing to say.

It’s impossible! !

"Anyway, this curse should give me at least another year." Dumbledore glanced at Snape who was hesitant to speak, and then continued: "In this year, I can also think of other things." The solution... By the way, your magic to lift the curse..."

"It's not difficult to use." Lu Yunkai quickly explained, "Even the magic circle itself is not very troublesome. The only trouble is to find the seven-color crystal."

"Seven-color crystal?? What is it?" Snape seemed to have never heard of this statement and was a little confused.

"It should be a very ancient exorcism ritual." Dumbledore nodded, "At that time, sacrifices often had this combination, such as seven-color stones, seven-color crystals, and even seven-color sacrifices... and the like. "

"Well, in addition to the seven-color crystal, we also need sacrifices from three living beings in the sea, land and air. This is much easier to solve." Lu Yunkai nodded, "The magic circle itself is also very simple, just a few ancient magic texts."

"Where did you find this information??" Snape's curiosity was finally aroused by Lu Yunkai.

"There are some rare inheritances in Lu Yunkai's family." Dumbledore explained for Lu Yunkai.

"Otherwise, this is it." Lu Yunkai thought for a while and put forward his own suggestion: "Professor, you can find someone you can completely trust and let him preside over this ceremony. I can teach him step by step. In this way, after the expulsion ceremony is successful, , you don’t have to worry too much about being controlled by someone you can’t trust..."

"Let's talk about it later." Dumbledore interrupted Lu Yunkai, "There is still time. It won't be a problem for now."

"Okay." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Then I'll leave first." Snape glanced at the time, "This matter..."

"Just leave it to me." Lu Yunkai took over the work from Snape.

Snape gave Lu Yun an appreciative look and left immediately.

It can be seen that he is really busy.

"I'm discovering more and more that you have many secrets." After Snape left, Dumbledore looked at Lu Yunkai again, and the expression on his face became more and more playful.

"Who doesn't have a secret yet, right?" Lu Yunkai smiled and wanted to change the subject, "If you are ready to use this method to lift the curse on you, you can contact me."

"The seven-color crystal you mentioned should be difficult to obtain, right? Do you have it on hand?"

"I can find a way, although the cost is high." Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully, "The real problem is that you have to find someone who doesn't mind letting him control you."

"Well, this is indeed a problem." An imperceptible haze flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

"You should have found three Horcruxes now and destroyed two of them, right?" Lu Yunkai brought the topic to the business of coming today.

Because he felt that it was almost time to go home.

Just finish talking about the business and leave.

"I'm looking for the fourth one." Dumbledore nodded, "The Ravenclaw diadem you were holding reminded me that Tom is not a mediocre person, but...well, it may not sound nice to say it this way. , but his pattern is really not very big.”

"Not everyone has the magnanimity and ambition of Grindelwald." Of course Lu Yunkai knew what Dumbledore was talking about.

"Most of his hatred for Muggles is just because of his father." Dumbledore did not answer Lu Yunkai's words. "So I was thinking that Tom's choice of Horcrux may have something to do with his relatives and Hogwarts."

"For example, that ring." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But I heard that the Gaunt family should also have an heirloom that is said to be related to Slytherin..."

"The fourth one I mentioned is that one." Dumbledore nodded, "In addition, there may be some treasures related to Hufflepuff... I tend to be the famous one lost in the legendary Hufflepuff Academy. The golden cup. But I still have to find a way to find where it was hidden.”

"Do you have any information? Maybe I can help." Lu Yunkai tentatively suggested.

"No need for the time being." Dumbledore shook his head, "By the way, Horace's memory..."

"Here." Lu Yunkai took out his pensieve.

"……good."

Dumbledore was slightly surprised that Lu Yunkai actually took out the pensieve, but he didn't ask anything.

Instead, he plunged directly into the memory in the pensieve.
