Chapter 239 Flashback Spell
Because she was refused to ask for the invisibility cloak (of course Daphne would not admit that she had no intention of returning it after "borrowing" it), Daphne returned to the lounge and sat at the table to do her homework, ignoring Lu Yunkai.
A person accompanied her for a while, and seeing that Lu Yunkai still did not ease up, he did not intend to give in on this matter, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble Daphne would make with the invisibility cloak in her hand.
So when he left the lounge and went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, Daphne did not talk to him.
So when Lu Yunkai came to the Room of Requirement, he was a little depressed and his face was a little stinky.
There were not many people in the Room of Requirement.
Compared with the first DA gathering, it can even be said that the number of people was small.
However, Lu Yunkai also understood that after Umbridge's persistent suppression for so long, he was able to gather so many people. He did have some personal charm...
Of course, there was still no Slytherin among these people.
However, compared to the first class when everyone was clearly divided into groups according to their colleges, after such a long time, the DA members seemed to have no so-called college distinctions. Everyone mixed together, and Lu Yunkai, an "outsider", seemed to have naturally mixed in...
"Yunkai, you are here."
"Hermione said that she would ignore me if I didn't come." Lu Yunkai answered half-jokingly.
However, he had a stern face and didn't look like he was joking, so Harry, who heard his words, looked as embarrassed as he could be.
"I'm not!" Hermione felt a little wronged.
She looked at Lu Yunkai's dead face and didn't realize that he was joking.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into an ice hole.
It was really embarrassing! Look at the group of people around, even if they were laughing, none of them had an awkward smile on their faces.
In the past six months, Harry and most of them have said a lot of bad things about Lu Yunkai.
Words like "degenerate", "evil", and "unrighteous" are almost all associated with the black-haired man in front of him.
But today, Harry (although Lu Yunkai said it was Hermione, even Neville didn't think it had nothing to do with Harry) suddenly invited him here, which meant that something must have happened, making Harry want to admit his mistake in front of everyone...
What happened? They didn't know.
But soon, Harry told everyone.
When he assured Professor McGonagall that the mysterious man was busy chasing Dumbledore recently, it was Lu Yunkai who reminded McGonagall that Voldemort might go back to Hogsmeade to attack him this weekend.
Thanks to Lu Yunkai's reminder, Dumbledore made some preparations in advance, so that no one was injured in Hogsmeade today... Well, except for Sirius who fainted.
"Thank you for saving Sirius."
Finally, Harry's words made Lu Yunkai stunned at first.
After looking at the frank expressions of the DA members around him, Lu Yunkai instantly understood that this group of people knew about Sirius...
Can this kind of thing be told everywhere?
Uh... It seems that it is not impossible. And this kind of frank way of getting along with everyone is very Harry...
"How do you know that this matter is related to me?" Lu Yunkai did not deny it, but he did not completely admit it.
"Before dinner, Professor McGonagall told me that you helped Sirius avoid Voldemort's sneak attack in Hogsmeade, and Sirius also asked her to thank you through me." Harry said very sincerely.
Then he bowed deeply to Lu Yunkai.
"...It's good that he didn't blame me for hitting him with the Stunning Curse first, and he can still thank me?" Lu Yunkai finally put on a little smile on his face.
Sirius would thank him? He really didn't believe it.
But almost immediately, he couldn't laugh anymore.
According to Harry, Dumbledore did find him in Hogsmeade just now.
Since Dumbledore could find him...what about Voldemort?
But he was clearly hiding well!
Is it true that the inferior invisibility cloak is unreliable?
"By the way, Harry." At this time, Luna next to him raised her hand, "How did you connect with Voldemort's spell today in Hogsmeade? What's the reason?"
"Yes! It seems very powerful." Seamus Finnigan on the side also nodded.
"I... just used the Disarming Spell. Voldemort used the Killing Curse, and after our spells collided, they were inexplicably connected." Harry was also a little confused, "And... by the way, didn't you see the people who emerged from Voldemort's wand at that time?"
"People??"
"Yes! There was an old man... and then there were my parents... It seems that it was indeed my hallucination!" Harry smiled bitterly.
"Hallucination? It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Lu Yunkai thought about it and shook his head.
Whether it is the Disarming Spell or the Killing Curse, how can there be a spell that can cause hallucinations!
"Not necessarily! Maybe it's some weird principle. I'll check it out later." Hermione on the side hurriedly advised.
"By the way, Hermione, do you know the magic that Dumbledore used in Hogsmeade today?" Lu Yunkai asked casually.
"Oh! That! It's a very ancient spell." Hermione nodded, "I saw it in a book..."
...
"Meow, I did feel that the number of souls around me had increased, but I didn't know which one belonged to which."
After the DA party ended, Lu Yunkai returned to the dormitory. The first thing he did was to wake up Chris who had fallen asleep.
Chris, who was in a daze, heard Lu Yunkai talking about what Harry had just said. After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head.
Just now in the Room of Requirement, Lu Yunkai changed the topic about the connection between Harry and Voldemort's wand, but he was still very concerned about it. So when he returned to the dormitory, he pulled Chris who was sleeping up.
"So, those souls... were locked in Voldemort's wand after the Killing Curse?" Lu Yunkai listened to Chris's answer, which was not a definite answer, and guessed on his own.
"Meow, who knows. Why do you care about this... If it doesn't work, you can use the resurrection stone to invite Harry's parents to ask?"
"... Good idea. But I don't plan to do that." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I'm not concerned about whether the souls of Harry's parents appeared there, but how this was done. This kind of spell... Don't you think it's magical?"
"Meow, it's magical, but I don't recommend you try it. After all, if there is a mistake and you are hit by the killing curse, you will lose a lot."
"I don't want to try it either." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Forget it, I'll ask Professor Snape later."
"Meow. Then you go and ask. I'll continue to sleep."
"... Aren't you going to help me keep an eye on Harry?"
"Meow? Didn't you tell me that Hermione has guaranteed that Harry can seal his brain? Then what's there to keep an eye on? Don't disturb me, I haven't slept well recently."
Chris covered her eyes with her paws and curled up into a ball, ignoring Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and sighed.
Even if he wanted to ask Snape, it would definitely not be today, as it was already very late... By the way, why hasn't Blaise come back yet? He hasn't asked Blaise how the discussion with his mother went!
Just as Lu Yunkai took out the communication mirror and was about to contact Blaise, the mirror suddenly vibrated.
A new communication number.
With doubts, he passed the verification, and then a call invitation came.
Still answered with doubts.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly in an instant.
"This is how it is used, right?"
"... You finally remembered the communication mirror? If you had found the one I gave you earlier, there wouldn't be all these messes this time!!"
Lu Yunkai looked at the face in the mirror with a big beard and looked listless and complained.
"Given it to me before? I don't know where I lost it." Sirius in the mirror shook his head, "I heard from Dumbledore that you saved my life with a fainting spell."
"Don't thank me. I just don't want to see Harry go crazy after you die." Lu Yunkai complained very restrainedly.
"...You kid, you still talk so annoyingly." Sirius sighed, "Forget it, I don't plan to thank you...By the way, I will give this communication mirror to Harry in the name of someone else..."
"I will tell him your number!!" Lu Yunkai had already guessed what Sirius meant, "You! ! How much trouble can you avoid if you use the communication mirror earlier!"
"Okay! Okay! That's it! Goodbye!!"
Fearing that Lu Yunkai would nag, Sirius hung up the call directly.
Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly.
That's right! If Sirius had been talking to Harry when Voldemort just started trying to influence him last year, would Harry have believed Voldemort's deception so firmly?
So! The importance of communication! !
Lu Yunkai suddenly had another advertisement for a communication mirror in his mind.
…
At lunch time the next day, when the owl arrived at the Hogwarts Great Hall with the Daily Prophet, Harry received the communication mirror as a gift.
The gift was unsigned, so at first, Harry couldn't figure out who gave him such a limited edition mirror without advertisements.
It wasn't until Lu Yunkai found him and told him Sirius' number that he ran back to the Gryffindor Common Room with the mirror in his arms in ecstasy...
Well, Lu Yunkai understood the desire for parental love of this kid who had been without parents since childhood like himself. Sirius, the godfather, really meant a lot to Harry.
Looking at Harry like that, Lu Yunkai, whose adoptive father was still alive but had never contacted him, suddenly felt a little jealous...
But it didn't matter.
Lu Yunkai didn't care about jealousy at all.
Because at lunch time today, the main topic of the entire Hogwarts Hall was definitely not the trivial matter of Harry receiving a limited edition communication mirror.
Even the Battle of Hogsmeade the day before was put second by them.
The first topic was the headline of the Daily Prophet today.
Fudge resigned.
With Voldemort's public appearance in Hogsmeade (the appearance of Voldemort at a wizard's banquet interviewed by the Daily Prophet before was still not considered public), the debate on whether Voldemort was really alive came to an end.
This time, it was not just a few wizards who had a good relationship with Dumbledore, but the entire Hogsmeade village, and so many Hogwarts students who were active in Hogsmeade, who saw Voldemort's appearance with their own eyes. It was meaningless to suppress it forcefully.
The Ministry of Magic admitted it, so Fudge, the minister who took the blame, stepped down.
Everything went smoothly.
As a "bonus" of this explosive news, the students of Hogwarts were even more excited about the brief message in a small square in the corner of the front page as an "attachment" to this news.
Suspend Umbridge's status as a special investigator of the Ministry of Magic, cancel Education Orders No. 22 to 28, and restore Albus Dumbledore's position as the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Umbridge, the old witch, is leaving!
Then the excited students found that Umbridge didn't even appear in the hall during lunch.
Finally!!
The excited Fred and George even took out some of the funny toy fireworks they developed and set them off directly in the hall to celebrate.
A huge oriental dragon made of flames was running around in the entire auditorium, and even Lu Yunkai, who was born in the East, thought that the New Year had arrived...
"Who would have thought that such a happy thing for Hogwarts was brought to them by Voldemort?"
Looking at the noisy and festive auditorium, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a little absurd and muttered in a low voice.
"We are the only ones who are happy. It has nothing to do with the mysterious man and Dumbledore." Daphne, who was beside Lu Yunkai, smiled and shook her head.
Quiet.
"Well, you are right." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, then looked at the flying dragon toy, "This toy is good, I will go to the Weasley brothers to buy one later."
"Make one yourself! I don't believe you can't do it!" Daphne said with a smile.
"…Every profession has its own specialty. This kind of thing should be left to those who are good at it! Besides, why would I not spend all the money I earn? Am I a Pixiu?"
"What is that?"
"Oh, a magical animal in ancient Eastern legends..."
