Chapter 211 Press and Hold the Message
"What are you doing? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Why would I talk to you if there's nothing to say?"
Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Hermione, who looked like she was on fire.
Time flew to the next day at noon.
After lunch, Lu Yunkai waited at the door of the hall early, but he just stopped Hermione who seemed to be busy with something.
"Speak." Hermione waved her hand, "I still have to study the magic used on the brooch!"
Although she said it a little impatiently, she told Lu Yunkai what she was busy with.
Without saying anything, Lu Yunkai took out a piece of parchment, pointed the wand in his hand at the parchment, and a magic circle appeared on the paper.
"Here. Can you lend me some time now?" Lu Yunkai stuffed the parchment to Hermione and said.
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, Daphne..."
"Yesterday morning, a group of Death Eaters escaped from Azkaban." Lu Yunkai interrupted Hermione's idea of changing the subject, "Although only two escaped, it is estimated that this group of people will soon get together to make trouble again."
Hermione was stunned.
"I didn't intend to come to you to tell you, but I didn't expect..." Lu Yunkai shook the Daily Prophet in his hand, "It didn't mention a word."
"Is the information you got accurate? It's impossible for the Daily Prophet not to mention such a big thing, right?"
"You can ask Harry to ask his godfather when Sirius Black came out of Azkaban, and when was it reported in the newspaper." Lu Yunkai gave an example.
Hermione was silent.
It was quiet for a while.
"What do you mean by telling me this? Do you want me to tell Harry? Why don't you tell him directly?"
"Harry doesn't need me to tell him, he has his own sources of information." Lu Yunkai remembered what Nagini said and shook his head, "I want to remind you that when you prepare your D.A., don't think about dealing with OWLS anymore, it's better to practice more in actual combat."
"You are going to teach us?" Hermione rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "You are not coming, why bother so much!"
"I have said what I should say, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "Okay, I'm leaving. You won't go home for Halloween?"
"...What? Why do I feel so strange talking to me today?" Hermione's expression became more and more strange, "I really warn you..."
"You are born a Muggle like me!" Lu Yunkai glared at Hermione angrily.
His mind flashed the stubborn expression of that beautiful sister when he talked to Irene last night.
Last night, he persuaded Irene to leave England temporarily and go to the other side of the ocean, or to the Far East for a while.
However, the stubborn Eileen refused.
She even said that if necessary, she would join the fight against Voldemort...
Headache.
"..." Hermione opened her mouth and understood instantly.
Death Eaters escaped from prison. If Voldemort returns, Muggle-born wizards will probably have a hard time.
"Be careful." Lu Yunkai sighed and shook his head. "I will find out the news here. If the situation is too troublesome... I contacted Furong last night and asked her to help me contact her parents to see if I can bring someone to France. If necessary, I can help you contact them and you can go there too..."
"No need!" Hermione shook her head firmly, "You... I won't run away."
"You!! Do you really think that you are a good student in Hogwarts and can confront those Death Eaters who do everything they can?" Lu Yunkai roared angrily, "Don't take yourself too seriously!"
"You are the one who shouldn't take yourself so seriously!" Hermione retorted, "I don't need you to care about me! And there are so many Muggle-born students in Hogwarts, how many of them can you care about?"
"I don't know them well, why should I care about them?" Lu Yunkai snorted, "I only care about my friends!!"
"..."
Hermione shook her head silently.
The atmosphere was silent and awkward.
"No matter what, be careful." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Voldemort has a madman around him now, who knows what he will do..."
"Is there anyone else besides you around Voldemort?" Hermione was stunned, "Oh, that beautiful woman with an oriental face?"
"...Is Harry mentally ill? How can you say such a thing?! Is he afraid that others don't know that he has a connection with Voldemort?" Lu Yunkai looked ridiculous.
Then Hermione realized that she had said the wrong thing.
This sentence just now contained a huge amount of information for Lu Yunkai.
"I was lurking there, you didn't tell Harry about this, did you?" Lu Yunkai asked Hermione.
"No, you told me not to tell anyone... By the way, my recent brain occlusion training should be progressing well." Hermione interrupted with a digression.
Also wanted to change the subject.
"That means Harry has begun to doubt me now, right?" Lu Yunkai smiled.
Yeah, that's right.
Lu Yunkai remembered the scene when he went to the first D.A. party that day.
Although Harry tried to persuade him to join that day, he and Harry didn't say much from beginning to end.
Now thinking back, it seems that Harry wanted Lu Yunkai to express his opinion more than inviting him.
And that night in the Room of Requirement, Lu Yunkai sat there alone, which was also very strange. Even if others didn't realize it, Harry and the other three didn't go over to accompany him...
"He still wants to believe that you were just forced." Hermione sighed softly and lowered her voice, "But..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "As long as Voldemort can be solved, these are all trivial matters."
"..."
"In short, the beautiful woman Harry saw is a complete lunatic. God knows what she will do." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, interrupting Hermione's embarrassment, "Maybe Voldemort will really prove his own strength by taking action against Muggle-born wizards... Especially now that the Ministry of Magic is even suppressing things like the Azkaban prison break, God knows if they will do something shocking to declare their existence. So, you must pay attention to safety."
"I understand." Hermione saw that Lu Yunkai wanted to end this conversation quickly, so she simply agreed.
She actually wanted to finish it quickly.
Otherwise, she really felt a little guilty towards Lu Yunkai...
After the conversation between the two ended, Lu Yunkai did not delay any longer and went straight back to the Slytherin lounge.
Sitting in his "exclusive seat", Lu Yunkai looked at today's Daily Prophet in his hand and was in a daze.
He was in a bad mood.
Last night, Snape was extremely angry with Lu Yunkai, but at that time Lu Yunkai did not quite understand the reason for Snape's anger.
Since you have joined the anti-Voldemort camp and become Dumbledore's confidant, isn't it natural to break up with your old friends who support Voldemort? What else do you have to be sad about?
But today, when he learned that Harry began to doubt him, Lu Yunkai, who had been thinking about how to completely eliminate Voldemort, finally understood Snape's feelings yesterday.
The wizarding world does need to take sides, Voldemort, or the camp that opposes him. They are enemies, but it does not mean that there is no possibility of personal relationship between them.
If Harry and I were to come into conflict over this matter (even if it was just because of my current undercover identity), could I really accept it calmly?
What a fragile and pitiful friendship! !
Lu Yunkai showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"Meow? What are you laughing at?"
"...Chris?? I thought you were dead!!"
"I won't die even if you die!"
Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai and skillfully jumped onto his shoulder.
Lu Yunkai, who was holding a newspaper in his hand, pulled it down and held it on his lap.
"Where have you been these days? Irene said she didn't see you, and I didn't sleep well last night!"
"Nonsense!! Is it that easy to deliver things to Azkaban? I have to stay there for two days before I can sneak in!" Chris rolled his eyes at Lu Yunkai, then struggled out of Lu Yunkai's hand, "Fortunately, everything went well."
"It went well? Two people escaped!"
"It would be a joke if no one escaped?" Chris was speechless, "If I hadn't done something, more people would have escaped! With that group of Dementors and the useless wizards on duty in Azkaban, can they stop those Death Eaters?"
"...Did any wizards on duty in Azkaban die?"
Lu Yunkai frowned.
"No, don't worry." Chris shook her cat head, "All the dead were Death Eaters, a total of nine."
"...That's good." Lu Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meow? Why are you suddenly concerned about this? When you were planning this jailbreak, you didn't seem to worry about innocent people being implicated." Chris complained about Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai shook his head awkwardly.
"Let's not talk about this. Um, so Nagini doesn't need you for the time being?"
"I don't want to hang out with them." Chris nodded, "The two who escaped from prison this time are also crazy. Especially Sirius' cousin..."
"Wait a minute! Sirius' cousin?"
"Meow, Bellatrix. Married to a Lestrange family. But I always feel that she can't wait to give birth to Voldemort's children." Chris complained, "Her husband and brother-in-law died in this prison break. God knows if she will become another complete lunatic."
"..."
"But, meow, don't worry. Nagini told me that Voldemort told her more than once that your adoptive father Slughorn had done him a favor, and he was a person who clearly distinguished between love and hate... Well, what it means is that even if his men are crazy, they dare not do anything to you." Seeing Lu Yunkai's strange expression, Chris comforted Lu Yunkai in an inappropriate way.
"Who are you trying to fool with this nonsense!" Lu Yunkai snorted, "That's not what I'm thinking about... Is the Lestrange family a family with a long history?"
"Meow, a long time." Chris nodded, "A French wizard family with a branch in England. But the population has never been very prosperous... Well, this time all the men in their family are completely extinct."
"..."
So Snape was talking about this family! !
"Meow, don't think so much, just stay in school honestly for now!" Chris continued, "It must be chaotic outside recently, but Hogwarts should still be safe."
"It's best this way." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "You... forget it."
"Meow, I have something to say!"
"I want you to go home and help me protect Erin, but...well, it seems she doesn't need your protection."
"Of course, meow! Erin is much more of a wizard than you." Chris nodded seriously, "By the way, has anything happened at Hogwarts in the past two months?"
"Oh, there are still many things..."
Lu Yunkai cheered up and began to tell Chris everything that had happened at Hogwarts in the past two months.
Suddenly, he also understood why he had been so depressed at school these past two months.
I was used to having Chris by my side, nagging and gossiping from time to time, but suddenly the days were gone. It was so unaccustomed to me!
Fortunately, it's back.
