Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 87 Prepare to take action

Lu Yunkai felt that he had already planned it, but it was indeed a bit difficult to wait for his opponent to make a move.

Ever since she sent a message to Ginny through Luna that day (Luna told Lu Yunkai that she had forwarded the message to Ginny that day), Lu Yunkai had been particularly careful when doing activities in school.

He cautiously hid in the crowd, waiting for Mrs. Zabini to help him deliver the chicken to the school.

But even Mrs. Zabini couldn't directly say that these chickens were what he planned to use to deal with the basilisk.

He could not even tell Madame Zabini that the matter was urgent.

Every time I send something to Mrs. Zabini through the item transfer cabinet, I can only ask how the chicken is prepared, but Mrs. Zabini pushes me back every time.

"What's the rush? We're going through the formalities!"

Lu Yunkai also just learned that when buying things from the Muggle world into the magical world, there are a lot of procedures to go through. For example, first of all, it is necessary to make sure that the goods are not tracked in the Muggle world, plus inspection and quarantine... otherwise it will be regarded as smuggling. .

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Magic is too lazy to take care of this kind of smuggling. After all, there are many Muggle-born wizards, and you are unlikely to cut off the connection between them and their original families: You said Hermione brought it from home. If the cake is shared between Harry and Ron, does it count as smuggling? Lu Yunkai bought a gold ring from the Muggle world. Is it considered smuggling?

It's just because Mrs. Zabini just suffered a lawsuit some time ago. Although she won, she offended some people in the Ministry of Magic. It was on the verge of a storm recently, and she didn't want anyone to take the opportunity to get angry.

That lawsuit was actually caused by Lu Yun.

There was a wizard who had a slight liking for Mrs. Zabini and took the opportunity to buy a space bag to talk to her. He discovered that the magic potion lucky bag that Lu Yunkai came up with during the Halloween holiday that Mrs. Zabini complained about could not be sold. There is actually an explosive corrosive agent inside.

This matter was spread by him in a showy tone, and it was also known to the Ministry of Magic, and then the Ministry of Magic sent people to investigate strictly.

After all, the public sale of explosive corrosive agents is strictly prohibited.

But Mrs. Zabini found a loophole in the French language, saying that what she was selling was a non-refundable space bag, and the medicine inside was a gift and could not be considered a public sale. The explosive corrosive agent only restricted the sale, not the gift or possession, so she was innocent.

And the staff of the Ministry of Magic did not find any evidence that Zabini's Magic Items Shop was not selling space bags: all the bags had the same price, and there were no magic or markings to indicate what potions were contained in the space bags, and all the space bags The bags are all available for customers to choose.

There is indeed a bottle of explosive corrosive potion in the space bag, but there are also many cheap things like herbicides and recovery potions inside...

After half a month, the investigation came to nothing, and he unintentionally helped Mrs. Zabini promote the lucky bag sales strategy.

As a result, many wizards came to Zabini Magic Items Store to gamble their luck out of pure curiosity and spent a small amount of money.

Most of them are potions that can be bought at Slugjigs Pharmacy not far away for half the price or even a fraction of the price, but there are always a few people who buy some very rare potions.

There are even some potions in it that Lu Yunkai prepared according to the supposedly lost formula in the book that Daphne gave him...

The business became so unreasonably popular.

So much so that Mrs. Zabini discovered that the small shop she originally wanted to make money from selling magic items had turned into a business mainly selling magic potions.

But as long as she makes money, she doesn't seem to mind.

In order to balance Lu Yunkai's workload, she even hired two wizards to help her make some common potions.

As for the lucky bag itself...

She chose to go directly to Knockturn Alley to stock up.

There is an inconspicuous little shop there, and an old man has been buying all kinds of second-hand space bags recently, one Gallon each, unlimited quantity.

Well, partnership, partnership.

But as a result, the wizards who were originally ordered to check on Mrs. Zabini became a little unhappy. Recently, they have been wandering outside Zabini's magic items shop.

The chicken thing can only be put off again and again.

Fortunately, although I don't know why, it seems that Voldemort is not in a hurry to eliminate Lu Yunkai's "hidden danger".

It was at the end of January that Lu Yunkai finally received the good news from Mrs. Zabini.

"My mother told me when she wrote to me that the chickens you asked her to buy will probably be delivered next week."

During lunch time, Blaise, who was sitting in the restaurant eating and collecting owl letters, said to Lu Yunkai, who was sitting next to him.

"Oh, if she didn't tell me, I would have forgotten."

After hearing this, Lu Yun opened his eyelids and twitched wildly, then nodded.

"What do you want the chicken for?" Daphne, who didn't know about this from beginning to end, asked Lu Yunkai curiously on the other side.

"Haven't all the chickens that Hagrid raised been killed by... the descendants of Slytherin!" Lu Yunkai glanced around and saw that no one else was paying attention to his conversation with Daphne, and lowered his voice, "I feel a little sorry. Just give him a few chickens."

"What's there to be sorry for?"

"The notebook... um." Lu Yunkai coughed slightly, "By the way, Blaise, your mother's business has been very good recently?"

"Well, she said that all the potions you gave her were sold out, and she said she would ask the owl to send you the money later."

"Sold out? No, right?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

Last night, I sent her a space bag containing more than fifty bottles of rare medicine! According to the "dilution ratio" they negotiated, this is enough for Mrs. Zabini to prepare thousands of lucky bags. How could they be sold out so quickly?

"Business in the store is good!" Blaise sighed, "She had a big quarrel with my father two days ago because of this... He thought my mother was affecting his work at the Ministry of Magic."

"...Why are you telling me this?" Lu Yunkai was speechless, "Do you want me to be responsible or something?"

"I just..." Blaise glanced at Daphne next to him, "Forget it."

"What are you doing! Just tell me!!" Daphne knew that Blaise was silent because she was here, and she was a little unhappy.

"It's just...well, don't come to the funeral then."

"What funeral? Whose funeral? Who are you talking about!!" Daphne thought that Blaise was cursing her, and she was a little annoyed and wanted to attack Blaise.

Then he was stopped by Lu Yunkai, who was standing next to him and the hair on his back stood up.

"I'm not talking about you! Why are you excited! Okay, let's go after eating!"

"...Let's go? Where?"

"There are no classes in the afternoon. I have to go to the Forbidden Forest. Didn't you say you wanted to go with me last time?"

"You're sure there are no spiders in the Forbidden Forest, right?"

"I didn't see any when I went there before."

"Oh, that's good." After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Daphne quickly stood up and followed.

Before walking out of the auditorium, he glanced at the Gryffindor table with a little instinct.

Ginny, who was sitting alone, seemed to feel Daphne's gaze on her, and quickly lowered her head and continued eating.

However, Ron and Harry who were not far away had strange smiles on their faces when they saw Lu Yunkai and Daphne running out hand in hand.

"What did you mean by what you told Blaise just now?"

Daphne, who was wrapped in thick fur and her face was still red from the cold, took Lu Yunkai's hand. It was a little difficult to walk in the thick snow, but she still insisted on talking to Lu Yunkai.

"Brace's father may not be long alive."

"Ah? Why? Wasn't his previous injury healed by your phoenix tears?"

"...Just don't ask."

"Oh." Seeing that Lu Yunkai really didn't want to say anything, Daphne could only nod her head.

Lu Yunkai, on the other hand, held the wand in his hand and waved it in one direction, then waved it in another direction.

This is the beast tracking spell he learned from a book. Last time he visited the Forbidden Forest Lu Yunkai for a long time, he didn't even see the shadow of Chris. Although Hagrid persuaded him that Chris would definitely not be in danger, he was still worried after all.

This time he came fully prepared.

However, this spell seems to be of no use.

Legend has it that after using a spell with an animal you want to track, the shadow of the animal will appear, and then lead the person who cast the spell in the direction of the animal, but in Lu Yunkai's eyes, there was nothing around except white snow.

Then he chanted another spell with a similar effect.

Still no response...

Lu Yunkai prepared four defensive spells and six tracking spells for today's "expedition", which he learned from books in the past half month.

He tried all six tracking spells, changing two or three locations along the way, just in case the failure was caused by the wrong location, but none of the spells worked.

Lu Yunkai began to suspect that most of the spells that had not been included in the textbooks and were not qualified to be forbidden spells were fake. The soul-eating lynx was not considered an animal and could not be tracked!

But just giving up like this, Lu Yunkai was a little unwilling.

In preparation for dealing with the basilisk, the soul-eating lynx is an important backup weapon. He must establish contact with the soul-eating lynx!

Otherwise, if the basilisk is hiding from the rooster, can I hold two roosters in my arms and chase it? Even if the basilisk is killed, he will probably die socially.

Just when Lu Yun was opening the stall, a gust of cold wind suddenly hit him from the side.

Almost instinctively, Lu Yunkai pounced on Daphne beside him and fell to the ground.

"Woo~~" A strange cry.

Lu Yunkai remembers this cry! This is Kris...

Well, I should say, it’s the soul-eating lynx!
