Chapter 213 Continuous Orders
"Lu Yunkai, where is your communication mirror?"
"I've sent my owl home."
"Really?"
"Can't the Ministry of Magic check the mailing records of owls? You can investigate it!"
Lu Yunkai shook his head at Umbridge with a smile.
"My mirror has also been sent back."
Malfoy, who was next to Lu Yunkai, also followed the same example.
"Mine too."
"And mine."
"All ours."
…
A row of Slytherin students all had weird smiles on their faces, and then they said to Umbridge in front of them.
The time came two days after the issuance of Education Order No. 24, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
As soon as Umbridge came into class, she began her work of confiscating the communication mirror.
However, no one in the classroom handed over the mirror.
After Lu Yunkai, the "first-timer", gave an answer, everyone around him consciously gave the same answer.
Umbridge, who had a fake smile on her face, was stunned. But she quickly adjusted her attitude.
"If I find out that you are lying to me... the consequences will be very serious."
"Of course! How dare I deceive you, professor!" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.
"And as far as I know, these magic mirrors were all made by you. If I knew you were making and selling them in school..."
"Professor, maybe I can correct you." Lu Yunkai interrupted Umbridge, "The communication mirror I made only has the corresponding functions, but it cannot be used. You need to go to the communication mirror shop and contact the information exchanger It can only be used after establishing a magic contract. It's not like you can just make it and use it... If that's the case, you can just make it yourself, why bother buying it?"
The words were very kind and polite, but the meaning behind the words, even the most indifferent Malfoy could hear: You idiot, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.
As a result, the whole classroom was filled with an atmosphere of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
"That information exchanger of yours..."
"The production cost of that thing is hundreds of thousands of gold galleons, and the materials are extremely precious and rare." Lu Yunkai boasted about the thing he bought from the system. "The production period also takes at least one year. You are overthinking it. real."
"It's best this way."
Umbridge was scolded by Lu Yunkai twice, and the smile on her face could hardly be kept.
However, she still showed the professionalism of a politician and put on her smile again as quickly as possible.
She returned to the podium and opened the textbook she had placed there.
The students in the classroom also opened the textbooks one after another. Because everyone knows that class is about to start. If you react slowly at this time, Umbridge may find trouble...
"Today our teaching content is about giants. As we all know, this is an extremely stupid and inferior creature. Apart from having a huge body that wastes food, there is nothing special about it."
Umbridge gave a preface first.
Her words caused some dissatisfaction among several people.
Lu Yunkai could guess who it was without even looking back...
Harry and the others have a pretty good relationship with Hagrid.
"However, our great Ministry of Magic treats all creatures equally and respects them. It does not deprive giants of their right to live. It even tolerantly gives them the right to learn magic... It's just that almost no one among the giants has magic. Talent. What a pity. Hehehe..."
"..."
The whole classroom was quiet.
"So, the chapters about giants in the book today are all about tolerance and the kindness we show as wizards. Don't think that giants are the kind of creatures that can be dealt with as mentioned in the book. If you meet them somewhere When it comes to giants, I only have one suggestion: do something before you are attacked by them and become their food." Umbridge didn't seem to be embarrassed that no one responded to her so-called joke, and just said to herself: "I can remind everyone that giants, like werewolves and vampires, are not subject to the Unforgivable Curse."
"..."
"Okay, now everyone can read the relevant chapters. If you have any questions, you can ask them. After today's class, everyone will hand in an essay on why giants are not subject to the Unforgivable Curse."
"yes."
Sporadic answers rang out in the classroom.
…
"Yun Kai, you are right, as long as we pretend to send the mirror back..."
"It's not pretending! We really sent the mirror home! What, the one you sent back is a fake?"
Lu Yunkai interrupted Malfoy's excited words.
Auditorium, lunch time.
Another extremely boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class had just ended, and the fifth-grade students were like doves flying out of their cages.
Even during lunch the conversation was extremely loud.
"...How is that possible! Of course I abide by the education order of the Ministry of Magic!" Malfoy saw the look Lu Yunkai gave him and immediately changed his tone with a smile.
On the Slytherin table, a strange feeling of wanting to laugh but not laughing was spreading.
"But... Yun Kai, you can insert the advertisement on the magic mirror if you want?" Daphne on the side blushed and changed the subject.
"Of course not. That's for sale!"
“But yesterday and the day before yesterday clearly…”
“That was just a system function upgrade, releasing functions that were not perfect before.” Lu Yunkai shook his head nonchalantly, “In fact, I think this setting is still quite good, useful, and ensures safety.”
Lu Yunkai glanced at Crabbe and Goyle next to him.
Everyone, including Blaise, nodded.
But everyone was the kind of person who wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh.
There was no way, Umbridge was also eating in the hall now. Her eyes seemed to be looking at this side all the time.
“But that hidden spell is so simple, even I used it at once.” Goyle added, “You can also set a password that only I know… It’s really good.”
“It’s all Yunkai’s doing well!” Malfoy smiled, and didn’t seem to mind praising Lu Yunkai.
“Don’t! I don’t know that spell.” Lu Yunkai shook his head.
"...Okay! But if we really send the mirror... I mean, ahem, the mirror we have sent back, can our parents only use it as an ordinary mirror without magic?" Malfoy changed the subject again.
"Of course." Lu Yunkai nodded.
The hidden spell is a function of the mirror that Lu Yunkai had set up long ago.
As long as the owner of the mirror uses this spell on the mirror and sets a password that only he knows, anyone except himself will see that the mirror is just an ordinary glass mirror...
This idea comes from the lock screen password function of Lu Yunkai's previous life mobile phone, which is one of the basic functions when the communication mirror was designed. But later, in order to make the mirror's usage habits closer to wizards, Lu Yunkai changed the mirror that could be used by poking with a finger to poking with a magic wand.
Since everyone uses a magic wand, this password function becomes a bit redundant. After all, each magic wand is unique, and any place where the magic wand is used will leave traces, which naturally forms a layer of anti-theft system...
So this password setting function was abandoned by Lu Yunkai.
However, he himself did not expect that the function that was tasteless and a pity to throw away could actually be used to deal with the sudden Education Order No. 24.
It can be regarded as a waste utilization.
In the past two days, almost all students in Hogwarts have taken home a piece of what others see as an ordinary mirror through owls.
As for whether the ordinary mirror in the eyes of others is ordinary in their own eyes...
Only they themselves know, and the Communication Mirror Shop and Lu Yunkai do not bear any joint liability for this.
What? You saw me holding a mirror in school?
Well, according to the school rules issued last month, those who are not well-groomed in Hogwarts will be punished by the school with a 5-point deduction. I looked in the mirror just to ensure that it would not affect the score of the House Cup.
Ahem...
Besides, there won’t be anyone who really looks in the mirror in public, right? No way? No way?
"That's good. I don't want my mother to know what I said to Pansy." Malfoy said a "slightly redundant" sentence.
Blaise couldn't help but laughed.
Then, he was met with a lot of eye rolls from people.
He couldn't even hold back his laughter, it was embarrassing.
"By the way, Yunkai, didn't you see a giant during the summer vacation? Are they really as honest and simple as described in the books?" Daphne didn't even glance at Blaise, and was very considerate and changed the subject directly.
"Ah? Have you seen a giant? A real giant? Not a fake one like Hagrid?" Malfoy also changed the subject.
"...I have seen him. But Hagrid is not a fake, he is a half-blood giant." Lu Yunkai corrected Malfoy's statement, "And compared to those real giants...Hagrid is indeed much smarter."
"Are real giants really that stupid?"
"Some are." Lu Yunkai nodded, he remembered the big guy who attacked him crazily when he first met him, "But some are similar to humans. There is even a giant who can speak human language fluently."
"But giants can't use spells." Goyle interrupted, "I heard from my father that giants are immune to most magic. This seems to be some kind of blood talent for them, but they can't use magic."
"Yeah, yes." Lu Yunkai nodded.
I felt a little strange in my heart.
When did Goyle's father deal with giants? Why did he know all this...
Could it be that Goyle's father was responsible for receiving the giants who were sent to support Voldemort before?
As for the topic of giants, this group of students didn't talk for long. After all, as Slytherin students, it was normal to have no good feelings towards giants. The only person in the group who had seen a giant in person didn't have a very good impression of this race (some were stupid, some were cunning), so the chat ended soon.
After lunch, the group planned to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while. They had a magical creature protection class in the afternoon, and they had to meet a half-blood giant!
Just when everyone didn't know what to say and hadn't finished lunch, a group of fluttering owls came.
Delivering letters and items.
Before the communication mirror, this was the most anticipated moment of the day for students.
This year, as communication mirrors began to become popular in schools, letters became much less, and most of the owls that came at this time only had two functions: to send things from parents to children, and to deliver the subscribed Daily Prophet.
Many owls also flew to Slytherin's table, and Daphne next to Lu Yunkai also received the Daily Prophet she subscribed to.
It's not that she likes to read it, but she likes the feeling of Lu Yunkai getting close to her and reading the newspaper in her hand...
Ahem.
However, today Lu Yunkai didn't need to get close to see the huge headline on the front page of the newspaper.
Ministry of Magic Education Order No. 25: No student organization, association, team or club may exist in the school without the approval of the Hogwarts Senior Investigator. 》
"What is this all about? Still coming?" Malfoy, who was standing by, saw the title and was confused. "And what does this educational order mean? What does it mean that no student organization can exist without Umbridge's approval... Is there anyone doing this?"
"Of course there is!"
Lu Yunkai glanced at the Gryffindor table behind him with a strange expression.
Sure enough, Harry and the others who got the newspapers looked as ugly as they could.
Lu Yunkai sighed softly.
"What kind of DA did Potter and the others do? I guessed that there would be such a day." Blaise was the first to react and snorted.
"...So it's because of this!" Malfoy suddenly realized, "Oh! Right! The association...they're called the Defense Association, right?"
"More than that." Lu Yunkai sighed and shook his head, "You forgot one thing."
"What?"
"The college Quidditch team, in theory...also belongs to the club." Lu Yunkai reached out and patted Malfoy on the shoulder, "In other words...you are now under her control."
"..."
...
