Chapter 138: Authentic and Fake

"Are you sure that's Voldemort? Why is he there?"

Lu Yunkai suppressed his anxiety and irritability and sent a message.

Afterwards, Sirius, who seemed to be in a good mood, sent him a long message, telling him about what he had done recently and how he found Voldemort in the mountains of Albania.

It turned out that he came to the Balkan Peninsula while fleeing eastward (Sirius did not hide the fact that he was not looking for Voldemort but escaping), and one day he saw a Muggle selling some lifelike animal stone sculptures, which were so real that Sirius could tell at a glance that they were petrified animals.

Originally, he used the spell of stopping on an animal with a little bit of mischief, hoping that the animal would suddenly come alive and scare the Muggle selling the stone sculptures, but he didn't expect that it had no effect. This immediately attracted his attention.

After that, he secretly followed the Muggle and found that he had picked up these stone sculptures in the mountains. Then he followed these stone sculptures and found a face possessed by an animal. Then he followed the monster for a while and found that it would soon change an animal to live in, and the previous animal would turn into stone...

When Lu Yunkai saw this, he immediately remembered the face that grew on the back of Quirrell's head in the first year.

But how did this guy go back in time? He was a wizard before, but now he chose an animal!

Of course, in Sirius's story, he successfully killed the animal possessed by Voldemort, but Lu Yunkai did not forget to tell him about Quirrell. He had been killed once before, but he was still alive, so don't think you have killed Voldemort.

Sirius was also mentally prepared for this.

"I guessed it a long time ago. Don't worry, I don't have anything else to do anyway, just wait here. As long as he is still alive and intends to possess other animals or something, I will kill him every time I find him."

Looking at the message sent by Sirius, Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

He didn't know how to reply to Sirius's words. Although this sentence seemed to be very refreshing and positive, Lu Yunkai saw some helpless sadness in it.

Keep killing? How long can you kill!

At this moment, Lu Yunkai became more determined to find out why Voldemort didn't die, otherwise...

It's really endless! !

"Is Harry okay recently?"

Perhaps because he waited for Lu Yunkai's reply for a while and didn't get it, Sirius sent another message.

"It's good. Lupin and Dumbledore are watching him. He has something to save his life in his hand. There will be no problem."

Lu Yunkai knew that this was what Sirius wanted to ask him.

Otherwise, with this man's temper, he would not bother to talk to him so much. Maybe he got rid of an animal possessed by Voldemort there, and suddenly worried that Voldemort would come to trouble Harry?

Sure enough, seeing Lu Yunkai's report of Harry's safety, Sirius stopped talking. After a long time.

"Is Harry very honest in school?"

"I can't say honestly, for example, he went to Hogsmeade without the guardian's signature, and Gryffindor was deducted points because of him." Lu Yunkai thought about it and answered truthfully.

"How did he sneak to Hogsmeade?"

"He had a Marauder's Map in his hand."

"Oh? The map fell into his hands? Well done!"

Seeing Sirius's words, Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment.

Sirius knew about this Marauder's Map? Did he get it before? This seems to rule out his slightly redundant guess that Ginny gave it to her twin brother.

"Do you know this map?"

"Of course! Harry's father and I made it together."

"You made it?"

"Yes! I am Padfoot, Harry's father is Prongs, and Lupin is Moony."

"...How did you make this map? Don't tell me you don't know how powerful this thing is."

"Why? You want to make one too? It's very simple! Have you heard of the Room of Requirement?"

"...The one opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor where the troll hit Barnabas with a club?"

"Wow! Not bad! You know it in the third grade?"

"I hid things in it when I was in the first grade, thank you."

"Sure! Boy! You were not sorted into Gryffindor! We found a spell there and made this map. "

"Oh? What spell?"

"I don't remember it. The spell is long and hard to pronounce. You can find it in the Room of Requirement! We were thinking of a way to help Lupin sneak out of the castle without being discovered by the professors at school, and that room appeared. "

"How could I find it?"

"In fact, we wanted to make another map of this later, but we couldn't find the room anymore."

"Forget it."

Looking at Sirius's words, Lu Yunkai gave up. And he found that the Room of Requirement was not on this map.

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was not there either...

It seems that perhaps more than just Slytherin left a secret room in this castle! Lu Yunkai had never thought about it in that direction before. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt enlightened.

The conversation between Lu Yunkai and Sirius ended here.

Sirius may have lost interest in talking because he fell into the memories of the past, while Lu Yunkai ran out of the dormitory with a map.

"Where are you going so late?"

Blaise, who just returned to the dormitory, looked at Lu Yunkai's hurried appearance and was a little confused.

"Oh, I'm going to the Owl Tower." Lu Yunkai found an unreasonable excuse.

"Be careful, Filch has been very irritable recently. If he catches you, you will be in trouble." Blaise yawned and warned.

After forcing himself to make up for the divination class that he had always disdained in Trelawney's classroom for half a day, Blaise's brain was no longer working well. He didn't take Lu Yunkai's excuse seriously at all. As for why he was there... Lu Yunkai thought that this difficult life should not be exposed.

To be honest, it was already a good thing that Blaise, who was usually autistic, took the initiative to run out of the dormitory.

Lu Yunkai didn't talk much with his roommates and went all the way to the Request Room on the eighth floor.

Then, he started thinking in his mind.

I need a way to see other people in the castle.

After walking around for a long time, it didn't work.

I need a way to sneak out of the castle without being discovered by the professor.

Then...

"I don't want a secret passage, but a way to make a map!"

Lu Yunkai opened the door that appeared on the wall with surprise, and then found a secret passage behind it, and his face was full of disappointment.

After closing the door and looking at the mark disappearing on the wall, his heart was full of frustration.

It seems that it won't work today, so try another reason another day? Let's go back to the dormitory first! Today has been too tiring.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunkai opened the map in his hand.

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good."

After the spell was used, the map appeared.

Then Lu Yunkai was shocked. On the map, two footprints representing Filch were walking towards his direction on the eighth floor.

For a moment, Lu Yunkai didn't know where to hide.

He didn't care about being caught by Filch and deducting points. The key point was that he didn't know how to explain that he would appear in this place on the eighth floor at that time. After all, he claimed to go to the Owl Tower.

There was no time to think about it. Lu Yunkai almost instinctively thought of Harry.

Yes! Invisibility cloak!

Although he couldn't afford the Deathly Hallows version, he could still afford the ordinary version!

Without saying a word, Lu Yunkai spent a huge amount of money to take out an invisibility cloak from the system and put it on.

And just as he put on the cloak on this side, Filch appeared in the corridor with a lantern.

Lu Yunkai's breathing also stopped for a moment.

Then... As expected, Filch did not see him, and he was still walking in the corridor with his slow steps.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yunkai felt relieved a little, and was about to sneak back to the dormitory with his cloak on, but an accident happened: Lu Yunkai stepped on a loose floor tile with one foot, and there was a click.

Although Filch did not see Lu Yunkai wearing a cloak, he would not miss such an obvious sound.

The lantern in his hand immediately shone in the direction of Lu Yunkai.

And Lu Yunkai... froze on the spot.

If he moved, there would definitely be a sound. If he did not move, Filch, the damn guy, would definitely come to check. At that time...

If he was caught, he would not only have to find a way to explain why he was here, but would this invisibility cloak be confiscated! ?

This thing is a huge sum of money! !

Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking that if he couldn't do it, he would use a fainting spell on Filch and then escape to keep the invisibility cloak, a cat's cry sounded.

Lu Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief.

Filch's cat appeared on the other side of the corridor. Filch's attention was immediately caught by the cat.

"Little guy, you're disobedient and running around again." When Filch talked about his cat, he didn't look like a nasty person who was hated by Hogwarts students. He had a doting smile on his face.

Naturally, he thought that the sound just now was just an auditory hallucination.

Watching Filch slowly walk away, Lu Yunkai lifted his foot from the movable floor tile.

Sure enough, there was another click.

I really don't know how Harry usually manages to run around the school in the middle of the night with an invisibility cloak on! This thing is too easy to be discovered, right?

Lu Yunkai complained about the cloak on his body and glanced at the map in his hand.

He was stunned.

Harry's name just walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

Without a map, dare to run around with an invisibility cloak on? Are you really not afraid that your cloak will be confiscated by the teacher? You are not like me. At most, you can save some money to buy a new one. You...

Lu Yunkai looked at Harry's name on the map and was dumbfounded before he could finish his complaints.

Harry's name suddenly disappeared from the map.

Disappeared! ?

Lu Yunkai quickly unfolded the map to the eighth floor, and his name was still on the map.

…

"Meow? Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"

"…What are you doing in the lounge?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back! I'm telling you, I just went to monitor Harry, and he just put on an invisible cloak in front of me, and then I lost him..." Chris' words were full of dissatisfaction.

But Lu Yunkai's face was even more unhappy than it.

"I know, I saw his name disappear on the map."

"Oh?? People wearing invisible cloaks are not shown on the map? Then you can also buy one..."

"I was wearing a cloak just now, and my name was on the map." Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris angrily.

Silence.

"I'm going back to sleep." Lu Yunkai waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more.

"Meow, it's great to have money!" Chris muttered, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"Shut up!!"

Lu Yunkai was completely furious.
