Chapter 234: Enlightenment

"You know I'm here, but you still don't want to come out to see me in person? You're really good at putting on airs!"

Nagini looked down at Lu Yunkai with a smile.

Lu Yunkai's face was livid, and he didn't talk to her.

"What's the matter? The curfew at Hogwarts is very strict, I have to go back to the dormitory quickly."

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to talk to you."

Nagini had a smile on her face.

Lu Yunkai's face was dark.

"Why are you pretending to be so serious!" Seeing that Lu Yunkai was about to lose his temper, Nagini finally stopped smiling appropriately: "I was sent to Hogwarts to keep an eye on you for almost two weeks before you found me. If someone is really against you, you probably won't know what happened until you die?"

"... Did Voldemort ask you to keep an eye on you? What? Me or Harry?"

"What do you have that Tom should worry about!" Hearing Lu Yunkai's words, Nagini laughed happily again, "Of course it's Harry! Two weeks, didn't I remind you of anything in this time?"

"...Is it because of the prophecy?" Lu Yunkai has understood.

"The prophecy you sent through Harry was received by Tom. He praised your loyalty and wisdom in front of all the Death Eaters... Well, although I know that thing is definitely not called loyalty, right?"

"Has his attitude changed? For example, he announced in public that he must kill Harry with his own hands?" Lu Yunkai asked tentatively.

"I guessed that the reason you were so anxious to pass the message to him through Harry was that you were afraid that other Death Eaters would attack Harry for the sake of taking credit." Nagini smiled, "In fact, you really worry too much. Tom has never thought of entrusting the task of killing Harry to anyone."

"Even if he doesn't have this plan, what if Crouch Jr. comes?" Lu Yunkai gave an example, "I think Bellatrix is ​​not a good person. God knows if she will take risks to please Voldemort."

"I don't know whether Bella will take risks, but Tom doesn't want to wait any longer." Nagini said with a sarcastic smile, "He originally planned to wait until the end of the semester to take action, but now he has moved it up to this weekend."

"How is he going to do it?"

Nagini didn't answer, but just looked at him with a smile.

"... Hogsmeade!!!" Lu Yunkai reacted. The seniors will go to Hogsmeade this weekend.

"Not too stupid." Nagini nodded with relief.

"But didn't he just attack Dumbledore? He hasn't got the Elder Wand yet... a diversion! Damn it! How could I forget this!" Lu Yunkai patted his head, "That's why he let Harry know the attack plan in advance!!"

"Oh, it seems you are still keeping an eye on him! Not bad!" Nagini said with a smile.

This also confirmed Lu Yunkai's guess.

"But Riddle really put a lot of thought into dealing with Harry, and he even used this trick!" Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

"He is still a little afraid of Dumbledore." Nagini nodded: "But I think he may not have thought he could succeed this weekend."

"...What do you mean?"

"Even if Dumbledore's whereabouts are secretive now, he will definitely rush over to Hogsmeade as soon as possible to attack Harry." Nagini said seriously: "And the people from the Ministry of Magic will definitely not delay. In this case, unless he can succeed in one strike, he can't kill Harry at all."

"...Do you mean I shouldn't worry?"

"I mean you shouldn't go to Hogsmeade to join in the fun this weekend." Nagini shook her head, "God knows if Tom has the idea of ​​checking if there are spies inside this time, you better not run into the gun. Go, and even harm me."

"Then I can't just ignore Harry and watch him fall into Voldemort's trap!"

"Can you stop him?" Nagini asked back, "Don't go to Hogsmeade to get involved on the weekend. Whether Harry can survive this time or not, I don't want to see you standing next to Harry against Tom."

"..."

"To be honest, I don't know why you care so much about that kid. Tom said that Harry may not regard you as a friend now... Why do you care about the life and death of such a person?" Nagini sighed softly and continued, "Is it necessary?"

"He was deceived by Riddle..."

"Will you be deceived by Tom and ignore Chris?"

Nagini asked with her soul.

Lu Yunkai was silent.

At the beginning, Lu Yunkai instinctively felt that the notebook was dangerous because it tried to alienate the relationship between him and Chris!

From this point of view...what Nagini said seems to be right.

"You were really stupid to rush to inform Tom about the prophecy through Harry this time. If Tom hadn't been bothered by the prophecy and his brain wasn't working properly, he would definitely have seen through your little trick." Nagini continued, "I really don't know what you're doing here!"

"..."

"Okay, I've said what I need to say, you can go back." Nagini seemed not to see Lu Yunkai's tangled expression, and waved her hand generously, indicating that he could leave.

"You..."

"Whatever you do! Don't let me see you in Hogsmeade on the weekend." Nagini reminded Lu Yunkai at last, and then her figure disappeared in an instant.

Watching Nagini Apparate away, Lu Yunkai's ugly expression showed no sign of improvement. He sighed softly, put on the invisibility cloak, and returned to the castle.

Holding the Marauder's Map in his hand, Lu Yunkai did not encounter any obstacles on the way back to the dormitory, but he couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed.

It was not because Voldemort planned to raid Hogsmore on the weekend.

Lu Yunkai had already thought of a way. Tomorrow, he would go to Professor McGonagall and tell her about this matter. She would naturally find a way to contact Dumbledore. At that time, Dumbledore would not only be able to pull Harry out of the trap, but even trap Voldemort once.

And afterward, he didn't have to worry about Voldemort suspecting himself and Nagini.

After all, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were not stupid people, and it was normal for them to see through Voldemort's diversionary tactics.

The reason why Lu Yunkai couldn't sleep was because Nagini's words about Harry just now made him feel a little awkward.

Speaking of which, apart from the one month they spent together in Diagon Alley before entering Hogwarts, he and Harry didn't seem to have any deeper interactions. After all, Harry was from Gryffindor and Lu Yunkai was from Slytherin. It was not easy for these two colleges, which were usually incompatible, to accommodate friends like them. It was too difficult to expect them to accumulate friendship in daily life.

Especially this year, because of the relationship between Voldemort and Umbridge, Lu Yunkai and Harry's relationship gradually drifted apart, and was not even as strong as the relationship between him and Hermione (well, it was like this before the prophecy incident, and now Hermione's reputation for Lu Yunkai is hatred). Lu Yunkai always felt that this was just because Voldemort was interfering, and Harry would always understand it in the future, so he didn't take it too seriously, but today, when Nagini said that, he felt very uncomfortable.

No matter what the circumstances, Lu Yunkai would never doubt Chris and Daphne. He would not even doubt that Blaise would betray him.

So, has the relationship between Harry and him fallen to the same level as Malfoy (or even worse)?

Is this what is called, people with different ideologies cannot work together?

But he and I are obviously in the same boat! They have a common goal, to destroy Voldemort!

But...

Is destroying Voldemort really Lu Yunkai's goal? It seems that Chris only wants it, right?

So what does he want? When he left the beer hall, he just wanted to learn magic and change his destiny. And this goal...hasn't it been achieved?

Look at him now. Unknowingly, he has become one of the richest people in the magic world, a member of the niche but influential Potion Masters Association, and a champion of the Triwizard Tournament...Isn't that enough?

Compared with Umbridge and her group of people in the Ministry of Magic, Lu Yunkai is now the one who can rest assured, right?

In an instant, Lu Yunkai suddenly realized that he was working hard here, weighing the pros and cons, and working hard, but what was he trying to achieve? ?

Some things are obviously not good for him, and he spent so much effort to do them, but it was not pleasing.

Just like what was predicted some time ago, what good did he get? Harry reluctantly thanked him, and then what? Hermione was no longer friends with him.

Voldemort praised him in front of the Death Eaters... but that was useless!!

A feeling of unworthiness in the magic world came to Lu Yunkai's heart.

Ever since Nagini appeared outside his yard that summer, Lu Yunkai seemed to have really forgotten his original intention. Opposing Voldemort for the sake of opposing Voldemort, and even protecting Harry for the sake of protecting him...

Yes, but it's unnecessary!

Maybe it's time to wake up a little and think carefully about what he should and shouldn't do, right?

...

"Professor, excuse me."

"Oh? Lu Yunkai? You haven't seen me outside class for a long time!"

Professor McGonagall was slightly stunned, smiled and put down the quill in her hand, adjusted her glasses, and looked at Lu Yunkai.

The next morning, Lu Yunkai came to the Transfiguration classroom with a smile.

Professor McGonagall should be correcting papers.

"I want to tell you that Voldemort plans to ambush Harry in Hogsmeade this weekend."

"..."McGreg, smiling, was stunned.

"You can go and talk to Dumbledore about how to deal with it. You can discuss it as soon as possible, but I don't recommend that you ban Harry from going to Hogsmeade on weekends, because that will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. And I can't guarantee that I can get such specific information next time."

After Lu Yunkai finished speaking, he bowed to Professor McGonagall, then turned around and planned to leave.

"Wait a minute! Lu Yunkai!" Professor McGonagall quickly stopped Lu Yunkai.

"...What?"

"Are you... serious?"

"Yes! How can I joke about such a big thing?"

"Then how can you say it so easily?" Professor McGonagall's expression was a little strange, "Aren't you worried?"

"...What's the point of worrying! I'm not Voldemort's opponent." Lu Yunkai laughed, "That's something that people who can be his opponent have to worry about. I'm not worthy. I'll just hide in the school honestly."

"...What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, and walked out of Professor McGonagall's office.

It's really nothing, I just decided to put aside some unnecessary worries.

There's no need to worry too much about some people, just being a spectator is fine.
