Chapter 16 Common Secrets

"Um, Lu Yunkai..."

"Oh? Daphne? What's up?" Lu Yunkai put down the breakfast bread in his hand, and looked at Daphne with a little curiosity.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"... OK. What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

"Ah? Ah!! No! No! Does that mean I wasn't dreaming last night?"

"If you mean the crystal ball, it shouldn't be."

"Oh~oh!" Daphne's face became even redder, "Then... did you pick up a butterfly-shaped brooch?"

"Brooch?"

"Well, I pinned it on my pajamas, and it disappeared when I got up this morning. I didn't find it in the lounge just now."

"I don't remember." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Or I'll go back to the dormitory and look for it."

"Thank you for your help." Daphne blushed and bowed deeply to Lu Yunkai, then turned around and ran away.

"What does Daphne want you to do? What crystal ball? What brooch?"

The black guy Blaise sitting next to Lu Yunkai had a question mark on his face.

"Nothing." Lu Yunkai stuffed the remaining half piece of bread into his mouth, "I'll go back to the dormitory first, you go to the classroom by yourself!"

"Oh." Blaise nodded.

Lu Yunkai hurriedly left the auditorium and ran all the way back to the dormitory.

Pushing open the dormitory door, Lu Yunkai's fur instantly exploded.

"Damn cat! Are you sick!!"

"... Meow? get out of class is over so soon?"

On the bed, Chris raised the cat's head in a daze, unable to open his eyes.

But it doesn't matter, in its arms, it holds a shiny, butterfly-shaped brooch...

Lu Yunkai swore that when he first saw Daphne in the lounge last night, she didn't have this thing on her.

So where did it get this thing from?

Where else could it come from! ! All the restrictions in Hogwarts are for people, not animals! !

"Give the brooch back to me! I'll remind you one last time! You are a cat! Not a mouse! If you steal again, I'll cook you into hot pot!!"

"Meow? Meow! Daphne actually thought of asking you? Is she embarrassed? Did you comfort her?"

"..." Lu Yunkai tapped his forehead with his hand.

"Oh! Why are you pretending! You are not a child. You need to cultivate feelings from childhood, don't you understand? The Greengrass family is really good..."

"Get lost!"

Lu Yunkai was too lazy to talk nonsense with this broken cat. He directly reached out and took the brooch from its arms and planned to leave.

"Meow, I remind you, I didn't take this brooch off her. I saw it at the sewer entrance of her dormitory. If you return it directly like this, you may get into trouble!" Chris calmly curled up again, as if she was going to continue sleeping.

"...What do you mean?" Lu Yunkai froze.

"Someone wanted to steal her brooch, but when I went to steal it, he ran away."

"What's so good about this thing... Hey!! It's so expensive?"

Lu Yunkai used the system to estimate the price of the brooch and was shocked.

This thing is actually worth 12,000 gold galleons! !

It's just a powerful calming magic that can help people sleep well. There is no special historical heritage, and the material is not a rare gem.

But just this thing can be exchanged for several potion bottles of Phoenix Tears and fifteen Nimbus 2000? ?

Why? Just because it looks good?

Women's money is easier to earn than men's money, it seems that there is no difference between Muggles and wizards! !

"So I say! What's wrong with being the son-in-law of a big family? Such a brooch may be enough for an ordinary Muggle family to live a lifetime."

"That's not your reason to steal things." Lu Yunkai reluctantly sorted out his mood and coughed lightly.

"I told you I didn't steal it. I picked it up for her from the thief. If you don't go to class, you'll be late, meow!"

"... Damn cat!"

Lu Yunkai finally realized what was going on. He didn't have time to deal with Chris anymore. He rushed out of the dormitory and ran all the way to the History of Magic classroom.

Panting, Lu Yunkai sat down next to Daphne.

"... What are you doing?" Daphne's face flushed. She glanced at everyone who had looked at Lu Yunkai. "This is Millicent's seat."

Lu Yunkai didn't answer. He just secretly put the brooch in his hand into Daphne's hand under the table where the surrounding classmates couldn't see.

Daphne took a look at the brooch and put it in her pocket in a panic.

Lu Yunkai also took the opportunity to get up, came to Blaise and sat down again, and then let out a long breath.

"I remembered that I left my preview notes in the dormitory." Lu Yunkai lied to his roommate.

"I didn't ask you." Blaise was speechless.

At this moment, Lu Yunkai's shoulder was patted twice.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Daphne's best friend Millicent. This girl, who was not tall but looked stronger than Lu Yunkai, didn't say a word. She stretched out her hand and pulled Lu Yunkai up, and then she sat in Lu Yunkai's seat.

This action scared Blaise who was sitting there.

"What are you doing?"

"Daphne has something to say to Lu Yunkai." Millicent glared at Blaise.

Blaise chose to be as quiet as a chicken...

Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, who was blushing and lowering her head, and had to sit over again.

In fact, it was not only Daphne, but Lu Yunkai himself was also particularly embarrassed.

He found that several people in the classroom had been looking at him.

Curious Harry and Ron, Hermione with a weird smile...

"What are you doing? Can't you say it after class if you have something to do?" Lu Yunkai lowered his voice and said to Daphne.

"It was Millicent who saw you sitting next to me just now and said she wanted you to switch."

"Millicent?" Lu Yunkai's eyes swept over his previous seat.

The girl was grinning at this side, and there was no trace of the irritability and impatience just now!

Lu Yunkai's forehead was full of black lines.

"Thank you. If this brooch is lost, I will be in trouble. Where did you find it?"

"It's hanging on my pajamas." Lu Yunkai lied, "Is this brooch expensive?"

"Not because it's expensive, but I may not sleep well without it."

"Sleepwalking?"

"Yes." Daphne nodded, "By the way, the sleepwalking thing..."

"I won't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone either!"

"Of course! This is our secret. Just like Borgin and Burke."

"Yes."

At this moment, the translucent ghost Professor Binns floated into the classroom.

The History of Magic class, which is known as the most hypnotic in the entire Hogwarts, began.

...

"Yunkai! Wake up! It's time to go!"

"Is the get out of class over?"

"It's over a long time ago." Blaise said with a smile, "Everyone has left."

"Oh..." Lu Yunkai yawned.

The History of Magic class is well-deserved. His memory was fragmented when Professor Binns introduced himself.

"Let's go! If you go too late, there will be no seats." Blaise pulled Lu Yunkai and planned to leave the History of Magic classroom.

"What seats? Lunch?"

"Quidditch match!! Today is the first game of the new season, against Gryffindor!"

"... I have no interest in that thing." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Quidditch is the most important competition between Hogwarts' colleges! Some people even regard it as more important than the college cup at the end of the school year. As a freshman at this time, especially a boy, you can't miss it." Blaise said seriously, "Not to mention it's a Slytherin match."

"... Okay!" Hearing him say this, Lu Yunkai understood that Blaise was really doing it for his own good.

He could only follow Blaise to throw the textbooks back to the dormitory as quickly as possible, and then ran to the auditorium restaurant to get two breads, and came to the Quidditch match venue of Hogwarts with the bread in his mouth.

Sure enough, the place was already crowded with students watching the excitement.

Not only Slytherin and Gryffindor who played today, but also many Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students came.

"Lu Yunkai! Blaise! This way!!"

In the crowd, Malfoy's voice was very clear.

He waved his hand and pointed to the two empty seats next to him.

"Thank you! Draco."

The two of them finally squeezed through the crowd and came to Malfoy's side. Lu Yunkai smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Although this kid always looks arrogant and annoying, he actually has a sense of teamwork at this time? It's not easy.

"You're welcome. Today we are going to see how Potter embarrasses himself together." Malfoy smiled and pointed to the court.

"... Potter? Harry? Will he play?" Lu Yunkai was stunned, "Doesn't the Quidditch team recruit first-year students?"

"Don't you know? Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor forced him into the Quidditch team and even made him a seeker!" Malfoy snorted, still with a disdainful smile on his face, "Today I will let him know that it is shameful to be in the limelight without any ability!"

"...Oh." Lu Yunkai responded expressionlessly.

What team consciousness! I really overestimated this arrogant brat! He just thought that Harry would definitely make a fool of himself, so he wanted to find a few more people to laugh at Harry with him!

But Harry actually made it to the Quidditch team? Is it because of his performance in chasing the glass ball in the previous flying class?

So, Harry also has a Nimbus 2000 broom! What's so special about the broom that costs three thousand gold galleons? I can learn more today.

Then I will just watch this game reluctantly!
