Chapter 129 Prophecy

"I really don't understand how the Ministry of Magic figured out how to flush the toilet."

Lu Yunkai complained and walked forward.

The two beauties in traditional costumes from India who followed him had smiles on their faces, but they did not speak.

This is the first time for these three young wizard apprentices to come to the Ministry of Magic. Although Lu Yunkai doesn't care much, the two girls are still quite nervous.

With its towering stone pillars and huge hall, it doesn't look like it's located in an underground space at all, but more like it's in an ancient castle.

And none of the staff from the Ministry of Magic who were walking quickly around them gave these three wizard apprentices who were incompatible with this place a second look.

A daily scene of busy work.

"Meow, how much do you expect people from the Ministry of Magic to know about Muggle things?" Kris, who was squatting on Lu Yunkai's shoulder, seemed to be familiar with this place, "This way!"

As he spoke, he pointed in a direction with his paw.

In fact, Lu Yunkai knew where to go without Chris's guidance: in the middle of the hall was a reception desk, which should be prepared for ordinary visiting wizards like them.

Behind the reception desk, the staff who had just started working were waving their wands and sorting out their work arrangements for this morning.

"Hello, we are Lu Yunkai and two others traveling with us. We have an appointment with Crocker from the Department of Mysteries." Lu Yunkai reported his name according to the instructions from Chris in his ear.

A fat young witch wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a slightly impatient expression raised her head and glanced at Lu Yunkai and the Parvati sisters who were following him.

A wave of the wand in his hand.

A piece of parchment flew out and landed in front of the three people.

Quiet.

"I'm sorry, sister, this is our first time at the Ministry of Magic." Lu Yunkai saw that the witch seemed to throw the paper to him and then went on to do other things, so he could only ask again.

"Sign with the wand and follow the paper." The witch said with impatience.

"Thank you, sister, for your hard work." Lu Yun said with a smile, then took out his wand and waved it towards the parchment.

He turned his head and glanced at the two sisters who were following behind him with weird expressions.

"Wand, signature."

"...Oh!" Sister Parvati reacted first, took out the wand from her sleeve, and waved it at the parchment.

Then my sister did it.

As if it had received instructions, the piece of parchment flew up from the table, folded in the air, turned into a paper airplane, and then flew forward.

"What an interesting magic!" Parvati sighed with excitement.

"Yeah." Lu Yun smiled and followed.

The twin sisters quickly followed.

"Lu Yunkai, why did you just... talk to that staff member in that tone?" Padma asked Lu Yunkai in a low voice after following the paper airplane some distance away from the front desk.

"What tone?"

"Like a little kid."

"Compared with that old woman who is irritable because of her work and looks like she owes money to everyone, we are indeed still children!" Lu Yunkai smiled.

Padma was stunned.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Meow, what's so funny about this?" Kris muttered as she squatted on Lu Yunkai's shoulder.

"Where's the box the professor gave you?" Parvati didn't seem to find anything funny in Lu Yunkai's words, but brought the topic back to business.

"It's in the space bag." Lu Yunkai patted a simple cloth bag on his waist.

"...Is this your space bag? Why is it so much worse than the one you gave to Daphne!" Parvati glanced at the simple and somewhat crude cloth bag, and was very surprised.

"I gave all the good things to my girlfriend!" Padma said in a teasing tone.

While talking, the three of them walked into a magic elevator.

In addition to the three of them, there were several adult wizards in the elevator, and besides their paper plane, there were at least a dozen more flying in the elevator.

"It seems that this paper airplane is the internal communication method of the Ministry of Magic! I thought it was the customer service system!" Lu Yunkai muttered.

"Meow, what, you still want to sell the mirror you made to the Ministry of Magic? Then your set of gadgets will really no longer belong to you." Chris shouted.

"Not necessarily! Operation and maintenance cannot be outsourced...and this method of communication is slow and not environmentally friendly..."

"Meow? What did you say? Why can't I understand?"

"Nothing." Lu Yunkai shook his head because he noticed that the twin sisters seemed to care more about what he was talking about than Chris.

The magic elevator stopped, a few wizards inside walked out, and then, a few more people walked in.

Some paper airplanes also flew out, and some flew in.

The plane that brought them in that Lu Yunkai was staring at didn't move, so he didn't move either.

Just like that, the elevator descended two more floors in silence, and the paper airplane finally flew out.

Lu Yunkai also quickly followed.

Then he realized that it looked like it was just the three of them and the paper airplane coming off the elevator.

The other wizards in the elevator seemed to be looking at the three of them with strange eyes.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, Lu Yunkai hurriedly caught up with the plane and passed through a dark corridor. The three of them suddenly saw a bright view in front of them.

A huge space, empty and dark, with only a table and a chair in the middle.

Sitting on the chair was a wizard who looked quite old, but Lu Yunkai couldn't tell exactly how old he was.

The paper plane flew straight towards the man, then unfolded in front of him and turned back into parchment.

The wizard also raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Lu Yunkai... Chris on his shoulder.

"Long time no see, Chris."

"Meow! Long time no see! Old monster."

"..."

Lu Yunkai glanced at the wizard awkwardly, then at Chris.

These words...

"Translate it as it is." Chris patted Lu Yunkai's head with her cat claws.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly and translated.

"Ugly cat! Even if you don't appreciate me saving your life, at least respect me because I'm your former master's godfather!" The wizard smiled and shook his head, then looked at Lu Yunkai who was helping Chris to pass on the message, "You... are the new owner of this ugly cat."

"My name is Lu Yunkai. You..."

"I'm Crocker."

"Oh! Here!" Lu Yunkai quickly took out the box that Trelawney gave him from his space bag.

He placed it on the only table in the huge hall.

Crocker was stunned.

His eyes fell on the space bag on Lu Yunkai's waist.

"...What's wrong?"

"Where did you get this space bag?" Crocker looked strange.

"Meow! Why are you asking so many questions! Hurry up and finish Trelawney's business, and we'll leave. Your broken place is like a graveyard, I don't want to stay any longer." Chris shouted.

"...Your cat is getting more and more irritable." Croc didn't intend to pay attention to Chris after listening to Lu Yunkai's translation, but continued to stare at Lu Yunkai's space bag, "Can you sell this bag to me?"

"Meow! Ask him how much he wants! This old guy is very rich! Compared with him, the Malfoys are no different from the Weasleys!" Chris interrupted quickly.

"...Chris won't let me sell it."

"Meow!! When did I say I won't let you sell it!!" Chris was furious, "Don't talk nonsense just because others don't understand!"

"We have delivered the things, is there anything else?" Lu Yunkai didn't answer Chris, but just glanced at it.

"Well, I'll take a look first, you wait a moment." At this time, Croc noticed the two twins who were following Lu Yunkai and were treated as air by him. He nodded and took out his wand.

After a strange and lengthy spell, he waved his wand, and the glowing fire seal paint shattered into starlight and scattered.

In the eyes of the three wizard apprentices who were shocked and envious, the box was opened, and inside was a crystal ball wrapped in black velvet.

"Well, I'll trouble you three next." Crocker gently placed the crystal ball on the wooden shelf taken out of the box, and then took out a short letter and read it.

"... What trouble us three?" Lu Yunkai looked at the twin sisters behind him with a confused look.

The two girls had no idea what was going on.

"Trelawney made a prophecy in front of you three, which complies with the prophecy registration rules of the Department of Mysteries. Now you need to testify."

"... In front of us?" Lu Yunkai frowned.

"Oh! Is it that time! Professor Trelawney's voice suddenly became hoarse!!" Sister Parvati was the first to think of it.

"Then the professor came to her senses and forgot what she said!" Sister Padma also recalled, "Lu Yunkai, you also got a bottle of potion for the professor to drink, and then sent her to the infirmary!"

"That's what happened." Lu Yunkai nodded.

This happened before Halloween in October. That day was Saturday. In order to escape from Flint's Quidditch training, Lu Yunkai lied that Professor Trelawney had something to ask him (because no one wanted to deal with Trelawney, this excuse was proved by Lu Yunkai to be the best excuse to sneak out, and he used it several times). Then, just to prove that he was not lying completely, just like every time he used this excuse, he went to the tower of the prophecy classroom to visit Trelawney.

At that time, the two little fans were taking a prophecy class with Professor Trelawney!

Seeing Lu Yunkai coming in, Trelawney first smiled "comfortable", and then invited Lu Yunkai to sit down and drink tea. But just when she stood up to pour black tea for Lu Yunkai, an accident happened.

Like a seizure, Trelawney dropped the black teapot she was holding, and then said something in a very hoarse voice.

Lu Yunkai didn't remember the details clearly, because he was more concerned about Trelawney's health at the time.

The professor of prophecy, who was already a heavy drinker and smoker, was like having a seizure.

That’s why he was given medicine and sent to the infirmary.

After that, Lu Yunkai forgot about it.

Last night, Chris told him that he was here to register Trelawney’s prophecy today, and he was always curious about the registration method of prophecy! He thought it was written down and signed by several people to prove the person who made the prophecy, so he chose himself and the two students she trusted and liked the most.

But now it seems...

That was a prophecy? ?

What did Trelawney say at that time? ?

His eyes swept over the twin sisters.

The two of them were also shocked.

Lu Yunkai at least knew that they were here to register the prophecy today. The two sisters had no idea what they were doing and simply thought they were following Lu Yunkai to broaden their horizons.

But they never expected... they actually saw a real prophecy with their own eyes? ?

The two little girls blushed with excitement!

"How do we do this?" Lu Yunkai asked after sorting out his excited mood.

"Point the wand to the side of your eyes, and then recall what happened at that time..." Crocker explained patiently, "See? There is a silver thread here, and then put the thread into the crystal ball, and it will be fine."

"But I don't remember what she predicted at that time!"

"It doesn't matter, you just think you don't remember it." Crocker smiled and continued, "Trelawney herself doesn't remember it, so she can only let the three of you take notes. And she didn't expect this prophecy to be included in the Ministry of Magic."

As he spoke, he shook the letter sealed in the box in his hand.

"Then why did she ask us to come?"

"What if? She... after all, her last name is Trelawney! She always wants to prove herself..." Crocker sighed softly, "In a year, she can send more than a dozen prophecy balls!"

"Okay."

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, and did it.

A silvery translucent line, more like a stream that doesn't flow, or something like smoke that doesn't drift away, was pulled out of his head along with his wand.

Then, it was put into the crystal ball.

The crystal ball, which was originally clear and transparent, immediately became turbid.

It was like there was a cloud of fog and it was hard to see clearly.

"You guys come too." Crocker said to the twin sisters who were excited, nervous, and nervous behind Lu Yunkai... well, mixed feelings.

"Oh!" This time, the younger sister reacted first and followed Lu Yunkai to complete her work.

Then, the older sister did the same.

And when the older sister's wand touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball, which had become like a white opaque glass ball because of the contact between Lu Yunkai and her younger sister Padma, suddenly became clear again.

Then, Trelawney's face appeared in the crystal ball.

"The Dark Lord is coming back... He will rise again with the help of his most loyal servant... He will be more powerful and terrifying than ever before..."

The intermittent voice and the familiar face made Lu Yunkai seem to be back in the tower of the prophecy classroom that day.

Then a cloud of smoke floated in the crystal ball again, and it became blurred.

The Dark Lord's prophecy? ?

He is coming back?

The most loyal servant? ?

Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment.
