Hogwarts Kryptonian

After dinner the next day, Lu Yunkai knocked on Professor Snape's office door.

Snape, who was mixing some kind of magic potion in the room, didn't have much reaction to Lu Yunkai's arrival.

"you are late."

"...Professor, you didn't say when you wanted me to come!"

Lu Yunkai was a little cautious.

He had a hard day today.

Early in the morning, after sending Chris and her roommates away, he started practicing potions, which lasted all morning.

After lunch, he found Professor McGonagall and asked him about Agmanis. As a student who had always performed well in the Transfiguration class, McGonagall also liked Lu Yunkai very much and responded to his various questions. Very detailed and well-guided.

Then in the evening, after dinner, he came here.

This trip is even more intensive than during class.

"Then let's get started." Snape didn't intend to discuss this issue with Lu Yunkai, so he took out the wand directly from his sleeve.

Lu Yunkai suddenly became nervous. This was the first time he saw Snape holding a wand.

"You have been practicing Occlumency for a while. Now that you have some experience, I will not teach you from the most basic parts." Snape came to Lu Yunkai and looked at him: "What you need now , is to increase the strength of brain defense."

"Strength? Is it the ability to resist the more powerful Legilimency spell?"

"Is it true that you practice brain defense to fight Legilimency?" Snape's brows raised slightly.

"...Yes. Of course, there is also the threat from black magic." Lu Yunkai decided not to hide it.

"Well. Then let me first see how far you have developed your brain defense skills." Snape nodded noncommittally, "Look into my eyes."

Lu Yunkai obeyed the order and looked into Snape's eyes.

"Legilimency!"

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt that his body became light and airy, as if he was about to fly.

And a lot of things seemed to appear in front of me all at once.

His memory was blurry, how he was adopted as a child, how he came to England, and how he met his adoptive father... Well, his adoptive father's face was still blurry, as if it had been intentionally hidden.

Suddenly, these images disappeared. Lu Yunkai seemed to have lost his support, fell from the air, and sat on the ground.

Rapid breathing, ups and downs of mood.

Lu Yunkai stood up in panic.

What just happened? Has your memory been opened like a book? And that person is the man standing in front of him like a black stone tower!

"You practiced Occlumency, did anyone guide you?"

Snape asked coldly.

"No, I tried to practice according to the description in the book." Lu Yunkai's confidence in his Occlumency has completely collapsed now, and he said with a little self-pity: "If someone taught me, I wouldn't... …”

"You have practiced well. You are very talented in Occlumency." Snape interrupted Lu Yunkai's self-deprecation.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

"Professor, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Snape glanced at Lu Yunkai coldly and continued: "The problem you just had is that you have obviously realized that someone has used the Legilimency Curse on you, and you have also realized that you When someone checks your memories and emotions, you don’t resist...because you have forgotten those things yourself, and you want to recall your own memories in this way.”

"……yes."

"Stop your curiosity. If you are not afraid that I will know more of your secrets." Snape said, waving the wand again: "Legilimency!"

Lu Yunkai seemed to have entered a dream again.

This time, he came to England. His adoptive father, whose face was still vague, took him to his home in Liverpool. It was a two-story independent building. His adoptive father gave him a room on the second floor...

Wait a moment!

Lu Yunkai thought of what Snape had just said and couldn't let these things continue to appear.

So Lu Yunkai began to imagine that he had learned magic at his adoptive father's house, and it was the kind of spell that could destroy the world with just one move...

The memory ends.

This time, Lu Yunkai woke up standing.

"Very good." Snape nodded, "But your reaction is still too slow, and too false. Next time, you have to try not to think about anything, so that there is no memory flashback in front of you."

"yes."

"Legilimency!"

****

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Yunkai jogged all the way to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Classroom.

"You're late today." Professor McGonagall's face showed a little worry, "And you seem to be in a bad mood."

"I'm sorry, Professor. I didn't sleep very well last night. I got up a little late in the morning, which delayed the progress of the potion making, and then I was late." Lu Yunkai returned with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. I heard Professor Snape say that you learned Occlumency from him last night?"

"Yes."

"Well, I haven't seen a student as hard-working as you for many years. It's a pity that the Sorting Hat didn't sort you into Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall looked appreciative and pleased, "But you should also pay attention to your health. "You still have six years at Hogwarts, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Thank you, Professor."

"Okay, let's continue our lesson today!" Professor McGonagall nodded and continued: "Yesterday I told you the basic principles of Agmanis and some life-related precautions. Do you still remember? ?"

"Remember. Don't use Agmanis in critical moments, don't try to communicate in a human way after transforming, and don't overuse it to prevent losing human consciousness. Carry a transformation inhibitor with you to prevent it from being too late to save yourself after the transformation fails." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I was refining the deformation inhibitor this morning."

"Oh?? You refined it??" Mag was stunned.

"Yes." Lu Yunkai took out a potion bottle. The green potion inside was the product of just two and a half hours.

"This is a NEWTS-level potion, and you can actually make it? Professor Snape really picked up a good student!" McGonagall sighed: "Well, since you have prepared the potion, you want to use it today. Try practicing Agmanis?"

"That's not the case, it's just a precaution. You still have to do things step by step, especially Agmanis is still dangerous."

"Very well. There are still a lot of things you need to do before you can actually use this spell."

Professor McGonagall took out a roll of parchment.

"This is the Agmanis Convention. After you read it, confirm that you can accept all the requirements above and sign below. Only then can I formally teach you the detailed knowledge of Agmanis' transformation."

"Thank you, Professor. Please help me prepare these." Lu Yunkai said with gratitude.

"There are not many students who are talented and willing to learn. Especially the learning in Agmanis is dangerous and painful." Mag smiled and shook his head, "Look at this convention. Not everyone can accept it. "

"good."

Lu Yunkai looked at it seriously.

****

Snape's underground office at night.

Lu Yunkai gasped and lay on the floor, covered in sweat, as if he had just fought a hard battle.

In front of him, Snape stood quietly, looking at him.

"Failed again."

"I'm sorry, Professor."

Lu Yunkai braced himself and tried to stand up.

"That's it for today." Snape shook his head, "Go back and have a good rest."

"……yes."

Lu Yunkai supported his body with both hands and stood up.

His head was in splitting pain, and his limbs were a little disobedient, but he still bowed respectfully to Snape before leaving the room.

It took less than a minute to walk from Snape's office back to the Slytherin common room.

But Lu Yunkai walked for ten minutes before opening the door to the lounge.

There was no one in the lounge, the bells on the Christmas tree were ringing, and the mistletoe on the tree was swaying in the calm wind.

There was a sense of holiday warmth, but Lu Yunkai didn't have any time to appreciate it. He sat down on the sofa closest to the door, closed his eyes, and didn't even want to move.

The nightmare of his nearly failed transformation this afternoon was already painful to him, but he was awakened by Snape's Legilimency at night and savored it again.

I won’t mention the sourness.

He really regrets it now. Why do he have to be brave? During dinner in the evening, he saw Harry and Ron, who had also stayed at school and did not go home. Wearing two sweaters with R and H embroidered on them, they were eating, chatting and having fun in the auditorium. They were very happy.

That’s what a holiday should be like, okay! What is he doing now? Are you looking for sin?

Why don't you tell Professor McGonagall tomorrow and stop the Agmanis class first?

But when he thought that he had already signed the document agreeing to the Ministry of Magic's monitoring and control of his identity as Agemanis today, he felt panicked.

And the bottle of deformation inhibitor that he had hastily refined in the morning was used up because of his reckless attempt today. He will have to refine it again tomorrow morning, and he will have to spend money to buy materials...

Lu Yunkai rubbed his head.

Why bother!

****-

You came quickly this time.

-

I just want to find someone to chat with.

-

Well, it doesn't matter. I am free here and I am happy to chat with you. Your Occlumency cultivation is progressing very quickly! -

The price paid is also high.

-

As long as it's not the cost of life, what's unacceptable?

In the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, Lu Yunkai sat slumped on a worn-out sofa, holding the notebook in his hand.

Looking at the line of words that appeared in front of him, he was stunned.

Well, that's right too.

Isn’t it just a little harder? It's better than death!
