Chapter 243: Strange Dream

One month after the end of the OWLS exam, for fifth grade students who have been waiting for most of the semester (at least for Lu Yunkai), it is equivalent to entering the summer vacation in advance.

After completing the last game, Slytherin House finally regained the Quidditch Cup after several years of hostility, which made Lu Yunkai spend the last time before the end of the summer vacation extremely relaxed and happy.

Of course, it just looks like it.

The dark shadow that has become darker and darker over the entire British magical world is really difficult to forget.

Although during this period, as Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, and the new Minister of Magic immediately launched a new round of investigations into the former Death Eaters after taking office, this shadow has indeed dissipated a lot. .

Lu Yunkai knew it was an illusion because he had "inside information."

Since Lucius bought a large number of ordinary communication mirrors from Mrs. Zabini in February and March and distributed them to all Death Eaters, as the most trusted person around Voldemort, Nagini passed on to Lu Yunkai A lot of news.

There was even some news that made Lu Yunkai feel like his hair was standing on end.

for example……

"Tom went to Thicknesses' house last night and used the Imperius Curse on him."

"Tom called Selwyn here this morning and punished him with the Cruciatus Curse as punishment for speaking ill of Tom during the Ministry of Magic's inquiry yesterday."

"Nott was ordered to go to Eastern Europe, but Tom didn't tell me whether he was going to contact giants or vampires."

…

Lu Yunkai didn't know how much of the information Snape knew and passed on to Dumbledore, but Lu Yunkai had no intention of going to Snape to confirm.

Since the previous incident, Lu Yunkai clearly felt that the relationship between Snape and him had become much worse.

Snape, who once admired him very much and even wanted to recognize Lu Yunkai as his godson, felt that he was gradually alienating Lu Yunkai.

Of course Lu Yunkai understood that there were many reasons, some related to Voldemort, and some even related to Harry, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, they both knew that the other was an undercover agent lurking next to Voldemort, but they couldn't. They were serving different groups (anyway, Lu Yunkai never thought that Dumbledore said he was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he was the one), and it was normal that there would be a gap between the two.

Anyway, everyone's ultimate goal should be Voldemort's downfall and elimination, so just live in peace and harmony.

As for relationship repair...

Looking at Harry, who has become familiar with Lu Yunkai again recently, perhaps some of his feelings will not disappear.

Um.

In this way, the last month of fifth grade Hogwarts life came to an end quickly.

As the green and gold decorations once again filled the auditorium during the final dinner, another school year came to an end.

…

"You have to be more careful."

"Don't worry! I won't die even if Voldemort dies."

"...It doesn't matter if you get hurt!"

"I understand! I understand!!"

"And, most importantly, don't summon those weird things behind my back!!"

"...Okay! Stop talking, your father is laughing at us!"

Lu Yunkai looked a little embarrassedly at Baron, who was looking at him with a slightly teasing look, and then pushed Daphne away who was in his arms.

He didn't agree to Daphne's words either.

On platform nine and three-quarters, it was another moment of farewell.

The students gathered together in twos and threes to say goodbye, while their parents watched patiently and felt relieved that their children could have some reluctant friends.

As in previous years.

If there is any difference, perhaps this year, the words that many students said before leaving for the last time changed from "remember to write me a letter" to "remember to tell me your number when you have a communication mirror." In fact, many students even took the The communication mirror I received from my parents as a "summer vacation gift" was exchanging numbers with each other...

Well, this scene made Lu Yunkai the most gratified among everyone.

This reminds Lu Yunkai of his advertising slogan "The magic wand allows you to learn to cast spells, and the communication mirror allows you to become a wizard." It seems that the realization of this goal may not be too far away.

Although Lu Yunkai had nothing to say to Daphne (Daphne had been sticking to his side basically every day in the past month, and she had already said most of what needed to be said), he still was not in a hurry to leave, because Astoria still I'm exchanging numbers with my best friend Karina who just got a magic mirror.

finally.

"Dad! Let's go!"

After putting away the mirror, Astoria finally returned to her parents with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Then let's go." Baron smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai.

"Have a safe trip and be safe." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"certainly."

Baron smiled and left with his wife and two daughters. Just when Lu Yunkai was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two people standing aside.

Lucius and his wife Narcissa.

The two looked at each other.

Lucius gave Lu Yunkai a look.

Lu Yun sighed happily, but still walked over.

"He asked me to send you a message." When Lucius saw Lu Yunkai approaching, he lowered his voice and said, "You don't have to come to him when you have nothing to do during the summer vacation."

"Why?" Lu Yunkai raised his eyelids and asked.

"Recently, the people from the Ministry of Magic have been checking us very closely. Even today, someone was watching us from a distance..." Lucius glanced to the side.

Lu Yunkai followed with a glance, and sure enough, there was someone who looked like a staff member of the Ministry of Magic.

"Your home is also under surveillance?"

"They do want to. Is that a place they can monitor?" Lucius shook his head, then looked at Draco, who was just about to come over after talking to Pansy, but after seeing Lu Yunkai, he was a little hesitant about whether to return to his parents, "Draco, come here."

"Oh." Draco came to Lu Yunkai awkwardly.

"What's wrong with you?" Lucius frowned.

"Ever since Mrs. Malfoy asked me to help bring a bracelet to Draco, he has been very afraid of me." Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Narcissa.

Narcissa's expression was instantly embarrassed.

Lucius was obviously stunned, then looked at his wife and said nothing.

But Lu Yunkai understood something from this look.

It turned out that Narcissa asked him to help bring a bracelet to Draco to remind their beloved son Lu Yunkai that he was related to Voldemort, but Lucius didn't know it!

That means, this matter has nothing to do with Voldemort?

"Well... I still hope that you can be closer when you are in school. After all, there are not many reliable friends these days. Lu Yunkai is much better than the two boys from Goyle and Crabbe's family." Lucius said in front of Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai smiled slightly and didn't respond.

God knows if he was sincere.

Listen to what he says, and more importantly, observe what he does.

"If you have anything to contact me, it's the same to tell me directly through the communication mirror." Lu Yunkai changed the subject, "Whether it's official or private, I will do my best to help."

"It's usually not my turn to contact you for official matters." When Lucius said this, his expression was not very good, "As for private matters..."

After speaking, he glanced at Draco.

"Let's go." Narcissa interrupted.

Lucius was slightly stunned.

In front of outsiders, his wife rarely interrupted his conversation, which was a kind of respect. Narcissa jumped out and said such a sentence at this time, which was actually a statement.

I don't want Draco to have too much contact with Lu Yunkai.

Hearing Narcissa's words, Lu Yunkai smiled.

"Then I'll leave first, bye."

After saying that, he nodded to Lucius, who was a little gloomy, and Draco, who had a strange expression, turned around and left the platform directly.

"Lu Yunkai!! Wait a minute!!"

Just when Lu Yunkai confirmed that there were no Muggles around to notice him and was about to Apparate home, suddenly two people who looked almost identical appeared on the wall behind him leading to Platform 9 and 3/4 and called him.

"...George? Fred? What's wrong?"

Lu Yunkai looked around and saw that there were still no Muggles noticing them, so he responded.

"We have something to tell you... Are you going home now?"

"Not in a hurry." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "What is it?"

"Well... Is it convenient for us to find a place to sit down and talk?"

"The Leaky Cauldron?"

"Okay, then we'll take you there by Apparition..."

"No, I can do it."

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head. As soon as he thought about it, the scenery around him changed.

In the alley outside the Leaky Cauldron, there is a place specially prepared for Apparitioners.

And soon the Weasley twins appeared beside him.

"Lu Yunkai, you are good! You can even secretly learn to Apparition!"

George smiled and patted Lu Yunkai's shoulder who arrived before them.

"It's not difficult. Let's go!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, and took the twins around the corner and walked into the Leaky Cauldron.

The bell on the door made a dinging sound, which suddenly woke up Tom who was taking a nap behind the bar.

"Another holiday?"

Seeing that it was Lu Yunkai who came in, Tom put on a warm smile on his face.

"Well... three cups of butter beer."

"Okay." Tom nodded with a smile.

Lu Yunkai took his twin brothers to the corner of the bar, which was already empty, and sat down.

After a while, the drinks were served, and the three of them drank the drinks and chatted.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yunkai smiled and opened the conversation.

"It's like this... well, I see that many people have this now..." George glanced at Fred, then shook a communication mirror in his hand, "You sold a lot this year, right?"

"Not bad." Lu Yunkai nodded.

More than okay!!

According to the feedback from Mrs. Zabini, the total sales of communication mirrors have now exceeded the total number of British wizards. Even the American Ministry of Magic on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is considering restricting the use of communication mirrors produced in Britain in the United States...

So when Blaise got off the car today, no one picked him up. His mother went to the United States to find someone to arrange things, and she can't come back today.

"Then you should have a lot of money in your hand, right?"

"...Just tell me what you have." Lu Yun smiled, "Want to borrow money?"

"Borrowing... is of course the best." George nodded, "If you feel that you can trust us two brothers, then lend it to us. If you don't trust us... investing is also fine."

"Investment??"
