Chapter 134: Stabbing in the Back

"So, Ron's mouse is actually an Agmanis?"

The next day at noon, in the backyard of Hogwarts Castle, next to the Whomping Willow.

Hermione, who was sitting cross-legged just outside the Whomping Willow's attack range, looked at Lu Yunkai standing in front of her with an absurd face.

This is the most dangerous and safest place she found in Hogwarts. You can talk here without worrying about being eavesdropped.

This is also what Lu Yunkai asked after he said half of his words last night.

"This matter is extremely confidential, and it must be ensured that no one else knows."

But this extremely confidential matter in Lu Yunkai's mouth turned out to be an extremely absurd story.

What's more, the storyteller is someone she trusts very much.

"Can a normal mouse live for so many years?" Lu Yunkai asked back, "I asked Percy before, and this mouse was already very old when it became his pet."

"This..."

Hermione thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed impossible.

"More importantly, if this story is false, why did Sirius come to me?" Lu Yunkai spread his hands, "And I have tested his words with truth serum."

"Potions..."

"Don't look down on potions." Lu Yunkai interrupted Hermione's contempt for her relatively weak (compared to Lu Yunkai, of course) Potions class, "Do you want to try it?"

"...No." Hermione shook her head quickly.

She had seen truth serum in the book, and God knows what Lu Yunkai would ask her after he really gave her the medicine, such as some little secrets that he absolutely didn't want anyone to know...

"Sirius is now in Albania to investigate Voldemort. Well, of course, I think it is also possible that he wants to escape the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, or to reduce the tension in Britain..."

"Reduce the tension in the country? Why?"

"Maybe he doesn't want Harry to be monitored by the Ministry of Magic? After all, that would be too unfair to Harry, he is Harry's godfather."

"Godfather... God!!" Hearing this, Hermione sighed again.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I have met Sirius. He is a straightforward man. I don't believe that he would betray a friend who has been like a brother for more than ten or twenty years for an inexplicable reason." Lu Yunkai continued to endorse Sirius.

"What do you mean by that? Do you want me to tell Harry this?"

"I was thinking that Peter was eaten by Chris by mistake. Now no one can prove Sirius' innocence. He is actually a man abandoned by the whole world... At this time, he went to Voldemort, completely dominated by revenge... Maybe he would do anything for revenge."

"Are you worried that he will embark on the path of dark magic because of this?" Hermione understood.

"A little. If that happened, it would definitely be the biggest tragedy for Harry." Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, "His parents are gone, and his only godfather was lost because of a misunderstanding..."

"But Harry will never believe the story you told."

"I understand!! Otherwise, we wouldn't be the only two here now!" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Hermione.

"Alas!" Hermione sighed deeply.

It was quiet.

"Do you really believe what Sirius said?" Hermione asked Lu Yunkai again.

"Just think about why he was seen in the Czech Republic."

"Being seen has nothing to do with him..."

"He is an unregistered Agmanis! If he doesn't want to be seen, who can see him?"

It was quiet again.

"I'll try to test Harry first when I go back." Hermione finally believed Lu Yunkai's words completely.

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

"What?"

"... This matter is actually more secret than Sirius's matter." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "I plan to... help Voldemort resurrect."

"... Lu Yunkai!!"

"Aren't you curious about why Voldemort can never be killed?" Lu Yunkai pressed down Hermione's shoulder who jumped up from the ground.

Hermione was stunned.

"I've dealt with him in the dungeon, and I've been with the notebook for more than half a year. I have a rough idea of ​​what kind of person he is." Lu Yunkai tried to make his tone calmer, "So I want to try to find out why he didn't die when I help him revive."

"This will be very dangerous!!" Hermione's tone was anxious.

"There's no way! I'm tired of Voldemort popping up every year to disrupt school life. Don't you get annoyed?" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "It's better to find a reason why he's not dead, and then kill him."

"But..."

"I'm telling you this because I hope that one day in the future... well, if I can still live to that day, I won't need it, but if I fail and die, I don't want people to say that I'm not worthy of Voldemort's cold butt and was killed by a pure-blood wizard in the future." Lu Yunkai made up a sad sentence seriously.

Sacrifice? Impossible. It's impossible in this life.

He would definitely run away immediately when he saw that the situation was not good. Anyway, with all the treasures in the system, he didn't believe that Voldemort could really kill him.

However, he still hopes that even if he fails, he can still leave a trace of a hero.

"you……"

Hermione's eyes were red.

"That's why I'm so angry at you for telling Parvati about the secret room. I'm sorry. I was just afraid that you would tell others this secret..." Lu Yunkai apologized first.

"I'm the one who wants to say I'm sorry!" Hermione burst into tears, "I...why did you tell me such an important thing instead of Daphne?"

"She is a Slytherin and you are a Gryffindor. She is a pure-blood wizard, and you and I are both Muggles." Lu Yunkai gave two reasons.

yes! The testimony of a Muggle-born Gryffindor is much more credible than the testimony of a pure-blooded Slytherin.

Hermione wiped her tears silently and nodded.

After saying what needed to be said, Hermione lowered her head and left, while Lu Yunkai deliberately stayed for a while. He didn't want to be seen going back with Hermione and cause Daphne to misunderstand him or something.

Of course, he was also thinking about what he had just said to Hermione.

Even the final preparations were made, and Lu Yunkai had blocked his escape route.

In fact, he had already had this realization since he had a falling out with Dumbledore before last summer vacation, but when this moment came, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Is it really necessary for me to have a fight with Voldemort to the point of death? After all, I am also a Slytherin!

But when he thought of his inexplicable Muggle origin, Hermione who had just left, Eileen who helped him grow herbs at home, and...

never mind. Maybe Jesse's prediction was right?

Lu Yunkai sighed and was about to walk back to the castle to take a short rest and prepare for the afternoon class when he suddenly saw a figure walking over from a distance.

Familiar people.

"Harry?"

Lu Yunkai tried his best to adjust his mood and came over to say hello.

"Lu Yunkai! Why are you bullying Hermione??"

"……ah??"

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

When did I bully her?

oh! That’s right! That girl was crying when she left just now!

But she was moved by my fearless spirit, okay?

"Hermione told Parvati about you, but she also didn't want you to be looked down upon! You..."

"..."

Lu Yun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

How to explain this to Harry?

What he told Hermione today could not be mentioned even a word to Harry, so how could he explain it? ?

"You didn't scold her?"

Seeing Lu Yunkai's ridiculous, helpless, and slightly aggrieved expression, Harry seemed to feel something.

"I really don't. She...there are a lot of people involved in this matter. I really can't tell you." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "It's all a girl's family matter..."

"...Then why did she cry just now?"

"Is it weird for a girl to cry? Do you need a reason?" Lu Yunkai asked nonsensically, "She apologized to me herself, and started crying while she was talking. As a result, I turned around to comfort her later. I don't Mind you... As a result, she cried more and more excitedly."

"this……"

Harry was froze by Lu Yunkai's words.

Well, when it comes to understanding girls, Harry is above Malfoy. Lu Yunkai knew this very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to realize that Ron and Hermione... ahem.

"By the way, how did you know I was here?" Lu Yunkai tried to change the subject, "I don't think Hermione would tell you, right?"

"It's not Hermione...well, it's this."

Harry said, holding out a piece of parchment in his hand.

Lu Yunkai's eyes fell over and he understood instantly.

This is the map that Chris saw Harry holding before! !

"What is this?" Lu Yunkai remained calm and pretended to be stupid, "Painting?"

"The Marauder's Map." Harry said frankly, "Fred and George gave it to me. Just a spell can show the map of the school and the people who are active in the school."

"...Can you see people??" Lu Yunkai was really stunned.

Chrissy didn’t say this map had this function!

"Here!" Harry pointed at the parchment.

There are four footprints on it, and two names are marked on the footprints, Harry Potter and Lu Yunkai. The location is at the Whomping Willow location behind the castle.

Lu Yunkai also happened to see Hermione's "footprints" moving as she walked in from the front door, and met Snape head-on. In the front yard, Malfoy and Pansy seemed to be together, while Dumbledore was in a daze in the principal's office, Daphne was chatting with Millicent in the Slytherin common room, and Blaise was sleeping in the dormitory...

This map... is really a treasure! !

"Let me take a look?" Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand to touch it.

"Yeah." Harry simply handed the map to Lu Yunkai.

What does Lu Yunkai want to see? He just wanted to take the opportunity to touch the map and find out if the same thing was for sale in the system.

However……

"Well, this map is really precious! But aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Oh, when it's usually seen by others, it's just a roll of plain old parchment... Prank over!" Harry took the wand and pointed at the parchment.

The maps, names, and footprints drawn in ink disappeared one after another, leaving only the parchment.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

I really want it!!

But why does the system only recycle one piece of parchment? ? This is obviously a map!!

"How do I open this map? Is the prank starting?" Lu Yunkai became more and more curious, "Or is it some kind of revealing spell?"

"No, it's..." Harry smiled, "I solemnly declare that I'm up to no good."

He pointed his wand at the parchment.

Ink appeared again.

"So magical." Lu Yunkai wanted to take it for himself more and more.

But...

Harry showed it to him so selflessly, Lu Yunkai was really embarrassed to snatch it.

Oh, I'm so envious! How come the Chosen One is given artifacts wherever he goes! Could it be that his invisibility cloak is also the one worth 2 billion Galleons?

"You really didn't have a falling out with Hermione?" Harry seemed to remember the reason why he went to Lu Yunkai at this time.

"Really not! We are comrades who have faced mountain monsters together! We won't fall out over such a small matter."

"Who knows, Sirius was once my father's best friend..."

"So I think it's not necessarily that Sirius really betrayed your father." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"How is it possible! That murderer! Killer!!!"

"..." Lu Yunkai sighed silently.

Forget it, there's no way to persuade him.

I can only count on Hermione...

"I don't want us to become like my father and Sirius in the future." Harry looked at Lu Yunkai seriously, "So, we must not quarrel over these small matters, okay?"

"... Don't worry! I will make you have confidence in friendship!" Lu Yunkai finally understood why Harry had to come here to stop him from talking, and why he showed him the Marauder's Map so straightforwardly.

I felt a little touched in my heart, and a little distressed for Harry... and Sirius.

Do you know that the man you hate even thought that he would never tell where your father is even if he was caught and tortured by Voldemort!

"Let's go back."

Lu Yunkai barely drove the sigh out of his mind, patted Harry's shoulder, then put his arm around his shoulder and walked into the castle together.

Suddenly, an idea suddenly formed and expanded in Lu Yunkai's mind. Maybe... Sirius should have seen Harry? Somewhere...

"Harry, have you seen a big black dog anywhere... about this tall, this long. It's pitch black, and its head is about this big..."

As Lu Yunkai spoke, he gestured.

"...I have seen it! How do you know?"

"When? Where?"

"During the summer vacation, I ran away from the Dursleys' house that night, on the side of the road... What happened?"

"Nothing, it is said that people who see that dog will have good luck."

"Oh? Really?" Harry smiled, "Then I will definitely catch the Golden Snitch in Quidditch this weekend!"

"Hehe, next year we Slytherins will win the Quidditch Cup again!"

"Don't even think about it while I'm here!!"

...
