Hogwarts Kryptonian

"one two three."

"Expelliarmus!"

"All petrified!"

Tie.

"Come again."

"Expelliarmus!"

"Quickly imprison him."

Still a tie.

…

This is a head-to-head battle.

Lu Yunkai and Hermione fired more than thirty sets of magic face to face, but there was still no winner.

The onlookers at the scene began to feel bored.

"Otherwise, we should change the way we fight. If this continues, God knows how long we will fight."

Finally, Lu Yunkai, who was already a little impatient, spoke.

He still had to rush to the Room of Requirement and use the teleport cabinet hidden inside to deliver the potion to Mrs. Zabini! There's no time to waste here.

"How do you want to compete?"

"Let's fight normally, don't engage in one-on-one confrontation." Lu Yunkai glanced at Lockhart who was trying to stop him in the audience, "Otherwise, I might as well just admit defeat."

"You don't have to admit defeat." Hermione nodded, "Then let's fight normally!"

"On the count of three, does it officially begin?"

"good."

"one two three!"

The two of them counted three at the same time and took action at the same time without giving Lockhart any time to react.

Only this time, neither of them stopped after just one move.

Hermione cast three disarming spells in succession, while Lu Yunkai used an armor spell to defend and a petrifying spell to counterattack.

When the two of them fought last time, the tactics were reversed. It seemed that Hermione wanted to decide the outcome with Lu Yunkai by competing to see whose spell could be cast faster, but Lu Yunkai came up with a solid defensive counterattack.

Lu Yunkai used the three-hit disarming spell to avoid one hit, and then used the defensive spell to take two more hits. His body swayed slightly, but it was not serious. Hermione, on the other hand, squatted down very lightly and escaped Lu Yunkai's petrification spell.

In the first round, the two were still tied.

But this time there was no need to wait for the two to attack at the same time, the second round of the two started at the same time.

Hermione seemed determined to defeat Lu Yunkai with the speed of casting spells today, but Lu Yunkai did not slow down. The two of them were on the duel stage, like two butterflies, fluttering up and down.

The originally boring duel suddenly became exciting and exciting, and the audience also cheered.

Lockhart's voice trying to stop the two of them was drowned in the cheers of the audience...

However, in the eyes of outsiders, such a duel looks much better, but the two people on both sides of the duel also know that when the duel becomes what it is now, the competition is actually more than just magic cultivation.

Adapt to the situation, control rhythm, and more importantly, physical strength.

Dodging magic attacks is very exhausting. In this matter, Lu Yunkai, as a man, has an innate advantage.

In addition, Lu Yunkai had an advantage over Hermione in the first two items. After a period of accumulation, the advantage finally turned into a victory.

Dodging a disarming spell that Hermione was already out of breath from fatigue, almost unable to recite the spell fluently and whose power was suddenly reduced, Lu Yunkai returned two spells in succession.

First the Stunning Charm, then the Disarming Charm.

These were the ninety-seventh and ninety-eighth spells that Lu Yunkai cast after changing his duel method.

According to Lu Yunkai's estimation, the Stunning Curse should be dodged, and the Disarming Curse should be able to hit Hermione, who was almost unable to walk.

And then there's the hard-fought victory.

However, things seemed different from what he imagined.

Hermione cast a spell and knocked away Lu Yunkai's disarming spell, but it was cast first and the fainting spell that should have been prevented was concentrated.

With a plop, he fell to the ground.

And Lu Yunkai didn't stand firm either and sat down on the duel stage.

He let out a long breath.

The students who had been waiting for this moment in the audience for a long time burst into cheers.

Although the battle between these two second-year students was not very technical except for the speed of casting spells, the victory was due to the passion between the two.

But it's good to watch, and the winner has been decided. Lockhart, the host who just didn't dare to come out to maintain order, finally came out to increase his presence.

Lu Yunkai and Hermione were each deducted five points for not abiding by the duel rules, and then helped Hermione remove Lu Yunkai's fainting spell.

Of course, he didn't forget to arrange for someone to take Hermione to the infirmary.

As the other party in this fight, although Lu Yunkai won, he felt somewhat regretful, so he volunteered to follow them to the infirmary.

Of course, besides being worried, Lu Yunkai had other things to ask her.

…

"What did you mean just now? Why do you avoid the Disarming Curse, but have to endure the Stunning Curse?"

After Madam Pomfrey left, Lu Yunkai asked Hermione who was lying on the bed.

"You are so stupid, you really don't know what Daphne likes about you."

Hermione glared at Lu Yunkai angrily.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. You won't be able to say anything when Harry and Ron arrive soon." Lu Yunkai interrupted Hermione's anger.

When Madam Pomfrey was treating Hermione, Hermione had been impatient and wanted to let Madam Pomfrey go out. However, Lu Yunkai wanted to leave after seeing that she was fine, but she forced her to stay.

Moreover, Lu Yunkai only noticed when he followed Hermione to the medical room that Harry and Ron did not appear at the scene of his duel with Hermione today.

This is weird.

If Lu Yunkai still doesn't understand that she is looking for something to do with him, then he is really stupid.

"Don't worry, they both went to see Hagrid today." Hermione smiled and shook her head, "No matter who wins or loses in our duel, they will feel embarrassed. It's better not to watch."

"You're just doing this to avoid them both?"

"And Daphne! I don't want her to think that I have anything to do with you...just kill two birds with one stone."

"It's hard for you." Lu Yunkai smiled when he heard this.

This girl is really thoughtful.

"No way, this is better than the idea I thought of before." Hermione sighed softly, "At least I can ask you something safely."

"What on earth do you want to say to me?"

"How much do you know about the Slytherin heir?" Hermione glanced at the door and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. Do you think I did these things?"

"I won't ask if I want to doubt you." Hermione shook her head, "Does Malfoy know?"

"He doesn't know more than me or you." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "He just doesn't like Gryffindor."

"That idiot keeps talking about monsters raised by the descendants of Slytherin. I really thought he knew something." Hermione complained with some annoyance, "We even wanted to use Polyjuice Potion to turn into Goyle and Clara. Let’s talk him out of it!”

"...Polyjuice potion is in the restricted area. How did you get its formula?"

"You are not the only one who has the ability to get the books in the Restricted Zone. Don't tell me that you didn't use the magic in the Restricted Zone just before you went on stage." Hermione said with a confident smile.

"you know?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can tie with me when you compete with me in magic?"

"Just brag!" Lu Yunkai looked down on Hermione, "If it weren't for that stupid duel rule, would you still be able to withstand thirty moves under me?"

"Hmph. Anyway, I've been investigating things about the heirs of Slytherin recently." Hermione didn't want to get entangled with Lu Yunkai on this issue. "Harry insisted that he heard strange sounds before the two attacks. There was a ringing in my ears, saying some horrible things, so I suspected it might be..."

"No way Harry."

"...Nonsense!! It's not your turn to give Harry a vote!" Hermione was a little unhappy when Lu Yunkai interrupted, but she wasn't angry at all. "I was thinking that maybe what Harry heard was Slytherin. Maybe if you follow this line, you can find the descendant."

"Good idea." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"That's why I came to ask you! Who would have thought that you, a Slytherin, don't know anything about everything." Hermione rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai.

"Who told you that students in Slytherin House must know everything about Slytherin?"

"That's what I say, but you are really disappointing." Hermione waved her hand in frustration, "It was a waste of time. If I had known better, I might as well have drank Polyjuice Potion and asked Malfoy!"

"Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Do you still remember how you were forced to face Voldemort last year?" Lu Yunkai shook his head thoughtfully.

"Even if I don't care, Harry still won't give up. He is now going crazy to prove that this matter has nothing to do with him, and he also wants to teach the person who framed him a lesson. And he really cares about what he hears That weird sound."

"That's up to you." Lu Yunkai sighed, pulled out a piece of hair from his head, and handed it to Hermione.

"Thank you." Hermione naturally understood what Lu Yunkai meant. As a second-year student who could even be said to be the most talented student in Potions in the entire Hogwarts, Lu Yunkai, who knew the existence of polyjuice potion, naturally also knew its formula.

In short, it is a medicine that can turn into another person after taking it, and as a "medicine", the hair of the person being transformed is needed.

Lu Yunkai's move was to tell Hermione that if you still want to get some advice from Malfoy, feel free. I don't mind if you use my identity to ask.

"Please pay attention to your safety... You don't need me to help you make the medicine, right?" Lu Yunkai asked with a helpless smile.

"No, I can still solve this problem."

"Well, I'm leaving then. I guess Harry and Ron will come to see you soon." Lu Yunkai felt that staying here was a bit boring, so he planned to leave.

"It will take me about two or three days to brew the Polyjuice Potion...four days later. I hope you won't be in the Slytherin common room that night."

"good."

After listening to Hermione's last instructions, Lu Yunkai walked out of the infirmary.

At this moment, two figures rushed in from the infirmary.

Even without looking, Lu Yunkai knew who it was.

"Yunkai! Is Hermione okay?"

"What could possibly happen?" Lu Yunkai glanced at Harry, who was full of worry, and sighed, "It's not like I can use any dangerous spell on her."

"Can't you just give in to Hermione? She lost again this time and will challenge you next time!" Ron said to Lu Yunkai with some complaints from the side.

"...Do you think Hermione is the kind of person who is willing to let me win?" Lu Yun rolled his eyes at Ron, "Okay, you go in and scold me at her place, I'm leaving."

After that, he walked out of the infirmary without waiting for Harry to say anything else.

Seeing that there was no one in the building, Lu Yunkai went directly to the Room of Requirement.

I extracted a batch of medicines from the system and put them in space bags. I put them into the item transfer cabinet like the last two times. I closed the cabinet door. After waiting for a short time, I opened the cabinet door again. The space bag inside was gone. It turned into a note.

receive.

Madame Zabini's handwriting.

Lu Yunkai took the note out of the cabinet, but did not leave immediately.

Lu Yunkai, who was sitting on the ground, was thinking about what Hermione had just said about the monster that attacked people.

It is true that he had always been concerned about Voldemort, the mastermind behind the scenes, and Ginny, who was controlled by him, but it was so dark under the lamp that he forgot about the monster who directly attacked him.

Since there is no way around Ginny destroying the notebook for the time being, it seems like a good idea to find a way to deal with the monster first. Without the monster, even if Ginny was controlled by Voldemort, it would be impossible for her to attack people directly with her wand, right?

But what kind of monster is that? It can turn people to stone, and it can also run around the school without anyone noticing...

Lu Yunkai's eyes casually glanced at the old Slytherin house flag that was randomly balled up on a sofa not far away.

The cobra head embroidered with gold thread on a dark green background that has become dull due to age looks extremely ferocious.

Slytherin’s monster…

Could it be a snake?
