Chapter 128 The Demonic Shadow Reappears
Although Trelawney temporarily arranged a "job" for Lu Yunkai when he left school, he did not hold any grudge against the somewhat eccentric teacher because of it.
He had nothing planned for his Christmas vacation anyway.
Because Sirius has never been captured, this seemingly happy Christmas is just like Hogwarts has been tight on the outside and tight on the inside for the past six months. The best proof of this is that Daphne and her sister are together. After arriving at platform nine and three-quarters, they used a special door key with their mother and headed directly to the other side of the ocean to spend Christmas with their father.
Daphne was naturally dissatisfied with this arrangement and wanted to drag Lu Yun away, but her mother Helene told her that this door key, which could be used by up to three people, was found by their father Balon, who manages magic affairs on both sides of the ocean. Man, it was impossible to temporarily add "passengers" to the temporary approval that cost God knows how many galleons.
"Baron is not sure whether Lu Yunkai has other plans during the Christmas holiday, so it is impossible to include him on his own initiative!"
Helene's apologetic tone made Daphne unable to express her anger.
On the train, Lu Yunkai had already whispered to Daphne the job Trelawney had arranged for him.
So, with a lot of reluctance, and at the same time telling Lu Yunkai, "At least you have to spend Christmas afternoon in my room with me using the twin mirrors," Daphne left.
After that, Lu Yunkai also returned home.
Eileen is still working in the herb field.
Maybe it’s because most of the herbs in that huge field are annual herbs that have reached the stage of vigorous growth and maturity, or maybe it’s because the recent cold weather in England has stimulated some kind of magic hidden deep in the field, Lu Mansion In the backyard, it was as warm as midsummer. Erin, who was dressed in summer clothes, was even sweating profusely, and her clothes were soaked a lot.
But the joy on her face, similar to the harvest, was so sincere.
As Irene's "boss", Lu Yunkai is of course a conscientious "capitalist". He told Irene that after today, this witch who has always been conscientious and meticulous in her work will also usher in her Christmas vacation.
"You can go out and play, or you can rest at home and get back to work after the Christmas break at Hogwarts."
After Irene finished her work and cleaned up, Lu Yunkai went to the study and gave Irene the Christmas gift he had prepared, a powerful anti-wrinkle and anti-aging maintenance ointment.
In the past six months, this beautiful witch may have become more and more like her former dean Sprout because she has been dealing with the land. However, Lu Yunkai always felt that such a girl could transform into a woman just because she worked for him. Rich middle-aged woman...
I can't stand it in my conscience.
"Next Tuesday is the harvest day for Powerless Rose. I will definitely come back." After Irene learned about the efficacy of the magic ointment, her expression suddenly became particularly bright. After accepting it with a smile, she said seriously to Lu Yunkai arrive.
"Powerless Rose is not a particularly expensive grass. One or two days later...well, okay." What Lu Yunkai originally wanted to say was that it didn't matter even if he didn't accept it. It was cheap anyway, but after seeing Irene's serious look, , changed his mind.
Perhaps, this is not about Jin Galleons, but it is the fruit of half a year's work!
After giving away the harvest gifts and saying to Lu Yunkai, "If possible, I hope to buy this magic ointment from Lu Yunkai on a long-term basis", Irene was one thing away from Lu Yunkai's Christmas vacation.
…
"Meow, what are you doing?"
"...Yo! Are you back?"
Lu Yunkai yawned and got up from the bed.
He was not sleeping just now, just in a daze.
Looking at the dark and quiet seascape outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, I thought about things in my mind, and a long time passed without realizing it.
"I'm almost exhausted, meow, I ran a long way." Chris jumped on the bed and lay there with her arms spread out, looking like a naughty cat. "Why, Daphne isn't here, so you just lie down on the bed. Can’t get up? Don’t tell me that you’ve been like this for the past two days!”
"It's not that I won't bring you back, it's that you insist on staying in the Forbidden Forest!" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, "By the way, Trelawney has something to do..."
"She already told me that I visited her before I came back." Chris interrupted Lu Yunkai, "Tomorrow we will go to the Ministry of Magic together."
"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded and picked up the mirror placed beside the bed.
This small paragraph of text also appeared on it, which is why he stayed posted all day today.
The sender was the wanted man who he ordered to find Voldemort two months ago, Sirius Black.
Originally, Lu Yunkai only came up with a plan to ask him to find Voldemort because of Chris's speculation that "maybe Voldemort is still alive" and because he really didn't know how to deal with Blake who couldn't prove his innocence after Chris ate Peter. A task that seems important is actually just a waste of time.
He even felt that after Peter's death, Sirius, who suddenly lost his way, might not have expected to find Voldemort, but just barely gave himself a reason to live.
But I never expected that the man seemed to have found some clues.
"I'm in Albania. There seems to be some legends around here that sound related to Voldemort. I will continue to investigate."
The words on the mirror made Lu Yunkai smile bitterly.
It was like Malfoy always said that he was a better seeker than Harry, and then suddenly one day he beat Harry in a Quidditch match, which made people feel overwhelmed.
Lu Yunkai didn't know whether to be happy that Sirius had a new goal in life, or to be worried about Voldemort, the lingering guy.
Voldemort must still be alive, Lu Yunkai subconsciously knew this, but the problem was that when Black really made this matter a reality, Lu Yunkai didn't know how he would deal with it.
Kill it? Lu Yunkai felt that he didn't have the ability to do so.
But should he really take the initiative to find a way to resurrect that monster? ? It didn't seem right either.
Moreover, Sirius, who had contacted Lu Yunkai about once every two weeks in the past two months, could be said to have outlined his route to find Voldemort in Lu Yunkai's mind in a very simple way.
In fact, compared to finding Voldemort, Black was more like escaping from the influence of the Ministry of Magic's Aurora and International Cooperation Department.
Escape from England, cross the Dover Strait to the east, south, almost without stopping all the way to the Balkan Peninsula, not to mention checking for news about Voldemort in the places he passed by.
Just when Lu Yunkai thought that Black should slow down his pace southward after leaving Istanbul, he suddenly found something on the Balkan Peninsula.
Coincidentally, but it seems that it can't be considered a coincidence.
Think about it carefully, didn't Voldemort also escape from England with this mentality!
He could only do as Chris advised him before at school, don't think about it for now, and wait and see!
Lu Yunkai cleared the text on the mirror and sent another message to Blaise, asking him to tell the Patil sisters to meet at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic tomorrow morning.
"By the way, meow, before going to the Department of Mysteries tomorrow, go to Diagon Alley to buy a small crystal ball." Chris seemed to have thought of something and reminded Lu Yunkai.
"Crystal ball? What do you want to buy it for?"
"Anyway, you're going to the Department of Mysteries tomorrow to make a prophecy ball, so why not make one more? Jesse's prophecy back then..."
"Please don't cheat me, okay!!" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris fiercely, "How did Voldemort know Harry's prophecy back then? Are you eager for me to jump out and share Voldemort's hatred for him?"
"Meow, but Jesse..."
"Who made Harry's prophecy? No one knows until now, right? Do you think you can help Jesse clear his name or something? Besides, heroes don't mind hiding their identities, just like you killed Voldemort in the Chamber of Secrets half a year ago, and no one knew it!"
Good guy, after two big hats were put on, Chris really didn't hesitate.
She curled up contentedly and began to lick her fur...
And Blaise's reply also arrived.
"Padma said it."
A simple reply made Lu Yunkai's face wear a smile that had disappeared for a whole day.
If Lu Yunkai was in a daze today, thinking about how he could get into the Death Eaters to find out the secret of Voldemort's immortality if he appeared again, then he basically spent the whole day yesterday making fun of his roommate.
The night before yesterday, Blaise had already sent him the eternal rose that Lu Yunkai and Daphne sold at the Hog's Head Bar by owl.
Because Padma contacted him...
And yesterday, Lu Yunkai did not receive any message from Padma, which means that Blaise successfully blocked the twin sister who was originally trying to contact Lu Yunkai.
As for how Blaise did it...
Lu Yunkai didn't know. The boy who looked like a wooden man and didn't like anyone didn't tell him.
But Blaise should have done a good job.
He even started to pass on messages for others today.
If Pansy had 30% of Blaise's skills, would it take until this month for Malfoy to realize that he had a girlfriend? ?
If Harry had one tenth of Blaise's ability, how could Hermione always date Ron alone in Hogsmeade! !
Talent, family education... the pure-blood advantage of Slytherin was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Ahem.
And of course Lu Yunkai did not forget to tell Daphne, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, about this matter.
In return, Daphne laughed a row of wanton "Hahahaha..."
This good mood was also brought directly to the magic department the next day by Lu Yunkai.
And the two girls wearing traditional Indian costumes, like two beautiful statues, were waiting there even earlier than Lu Yunkai who arrived earlier.
