Chapter 37 Infirmary
The next morning, Lu Yunkai, as usual, picked a piece of bread, put two slices of bacon in it, and had a bowl of milk and cereal. He sat at the table by the window of the auditorium and ate breakfast.
There were not many people in the auditorium on Sunday morning. Most students chose to sleep in on weekends. In addition, there was no need to rush to class, so the whole auditorium was very leisurely.
Lu Yunkai was the one in the best mood.
The long row of zeros in the system brought him a dizzy happiness that he still hasn't recovered from. Ten billion gold galleons! ! Although the price of the magic stone is 100 million less than buying it from the system, it is enough for Lu Yunkai to live a fairy life of buying two bottles of healing potions, drinking one and throwing one.
Just when he was thinking about whether to get a new set of potion bottles from the system that can improve the quality of magic potions.
There was a thump.
A plate of bacon fried eggs with toast was heavily smashed on the table next to Lu Yunkai.
Accompanied by an angry sound.
"Lu Yunkai! What did you do last night?"
"... Daphne? Good morning!"
"What did you do last night?" Daphne ignored Lu Yunkai's polite greeting and continued to question him.
"Last night? Nothing!"
"Don't give me that! I clearly saw you knocking on Professor Snape's door last night, and then I don't know where you ran off to." Daphne was still angry, "I've been waiting for you in the lounge, wanting to ask you what happened, but you didn't come back until I fell asleep!"
"..."
Lu Yunkai then remembered that it was very late when he returned to the dormitory yesterday. At that time, the common room was empty, and only Daphne was sleeping on the sofa. At that time, Lu Yunkai thought Daphne was sleepwalking again!
"What on earth did you do?"
"...I went to catch someone." Lu Yunkai put his finger in front of his mouth, "Professor Snape didn't allow me to go out and talk nonsense. You just need to know about this matter. Don't tell others, okay?"
"Professor Snape didn't allow you to tell it?"
"Not only Professor Snape, but Professor Dumbledore also cast a spell on me." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Okay, don't ask about this matter. It's not good for you to know more."
"Playing tricks!" Daphne glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely, "Yesterday when I was in the lounge, I heard Malfoy say that he invited you to go to France to play together. Did you refuse?"
"...I really don't have money!" Lu Yunkai shook his head helplessly, "Even if Draco said he would help me pay for all the expenses, I always feel a little weird. What's wrong? He feels Do you think I don't know how to behave?"
"No. Goyle and Crabbe kept saying this and he scolded them." Daphne shook her head, "Blaise said you might have to stay in the Leaky Cauldron during the summer?"
"Most likely. After all, I'm homeless now."
"Then can I go and play with you? I don't want to stay at home this summer."
"Why?"
"It's because of my sister!" Daphne looked depressed, "That damn girl pestered me with questions when I was about to come to Hogwarts last year. I'm afraid she will annoy me to death this summer."
"Then tell her a story! If she doesn't listen, don't tell her a story. I guarantee that she will be obedient." Lu Yunkai laughed, "...What's wrong, did you catch a cold?"
Just when Lu Yunkai was halfway through his words, Daphne suddenly sneezed.
"I guess you caught a cold last night." Daphne rubbed her nose and shook her head, "It's okay."
"... I'll go to the infirmary with you after dinner!"
"No need. I used to catch a cold because of sleepwalking, and I'm used to it. Just drink some hot tea." Daphne waved her hand, picked up the red teacup beside her and took a sip.
"Anyway, I'm going to the infirmary to see Harry, let's go together!" Lu Yunkai insisted, "You caught a cold because you were waiting for me, how could I not care. Otherwise, I would have to get you a bottle of potion. Going to the infirmary, at least I don't have to pay."
"This... okay." Daphne could only nod after hearing what Lu Yunkai said.
...
The two of them ate breakfast together, chatting about summer vacation, about annoying sisters, and about Malfoy's two followers. It took most of the morning before they finished breakfast.
Then they went to the infirmary together.
The school doctor examined Daphne, and then while scolding her for things like not kicking the quilt when sleeping, he cast two spells on her and prescribed her a dose of medicine, which was considered to be the treatment for the cold.
After that, Daphne went back to the dormitory to take medicine and sleep, while Lu Yunkai stayed in the infirmary.
"That young lady from the Greengrass family is really difficult to serve. I'm sorry for you."
Hermione looked at Lu Yunkai who walked into the hospital room with a half-smile.
"No, right?" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, sitting next to Hermione, "How is Harry?"
"Madam Pomfrey said that there is nothing serious, and he will probably wake up later today, but he may still have to stay in the hospital for a while." Hermione smiled, then glared at Ron who was fighting a chocolate frog: "Don't eat it! This is for Harry!"
Lu Yunkai then noticed that there was a lot of snacks on the table in front of Harry's bed.
"Did you buy it?" Lu Yunkai asked Ron.
"How is it possible!" Ron shook his head quickly, "I can't afford it."
"How dare you say that!!" Hermione glared at Ron fiercely, "He went back to the common room last night and told Fred and George about the dungeon. If they knew, wouldn't that mean that everyone in Hogwarts knew about it? These were sent by the students who knew that Harry protected the Philosopher's Stone."
"...Shouldn't this be kept secret?" Lu Yunkai remembered Snape's instructions to him.
"That's right! Professor McGonagall also told me, but I didn't have time to stop him." Hermione glared at Ron again with deep resentment.
"Why can't we talk about Harry defeating the mysterious man?" Ron blushed slightly, "By the way, what happened in that room?"
"This!"
Lu Yunkai smiled and vividly described how Quirrell turned into ash as soon as he touched Harry's body.
"Harry is so cool!" Ron looked at Harry with envy.
"This is too dangerous." Hermione held a different opinion.
"Why did you rush over when you knew it was dangerous?" Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "Wouldn't it be better to wait for Professor Dumbledore to come back and tell him!"
"But at that time we were afraid that Snape would steal the Philosopher's Stone first!" Hermione was embarrassed by Lu Yunkai's questioning.
"Do you think Professor Snape is better than Professor Dumbledore?" Lu Yunkai asked Hermione in return.
"This..."
"Since Harry is fine, I'll leave first. I have something to do with Professor Dumbledore!" Lu Yunkai stood up with a smile, "You have to ask him to remove the spell he cast on me."
"Professor Dumbledore cast a spell on you? What spell?" Ron looked curious.
"Okay! Don't ask! Lu Yunkai, take care!" Hermione glared at Ron again.
Lu Yunkai glanced at Ron, who looked aggrieved after being yelled at, and smiled and shook his head.
These two people! !
After leaving the infirmary, Lu Yunkai went straight to Dumbledore's office.
After waiting for a long time on the spiral staircase with a phoenix carved on it at the entrance of the principal's office, he finally got the chance to see the principal.
When he entered the room, Dumbledore was putting away a roll of parchment and a quill.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Dumbledore had a kind smile on his face.
But Lu Yunkai was still a little scared when he saw this smile.
"Professor, I'm here to ask you to remove the spell on me." Lu Yunkai didn't mean to greet him and went straight to the point.
"Oh? Why?" Dumbledore was a little surprised. "Professor Quirrell is gone, so why bother with his spell?"
"If there hadn't been this spell, this time things might not have turned out like this." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "At least, the Philosopher's Stone wouldn't have been destroyed."
"I was just communicating with my old friend Nick Flamel, telling him about the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone." Dumbledore shook his head, "He doesn't mind, so you don't have to blame yourself."
"I think you may have misunderstood. I just feel sorry for not being able to stop my friend from taking risks." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "As for the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone, I not only don't blame myself, but I'm also very fortunate. If it hadn't been destroyed, and someone would think of it again in the future, would Harry still have to protect it?"
At this point, Lu Yunkai paused.
"And you also promised to give me an explanation after the matter was over."
"But it's not over yet!"
"Is there anything else? I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Sorry to bother you then."
Then he turned around and walked out of the principal's office.
Standing outside the Phoenix staircase, Lu Yunkai didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He was in a bad mood.
What Lu Yunkai said in front of him just now could be regarded as very disrespectful. Moreover, Lu Yunkai didn't believe that Dumbledore didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words.
Even Lu Yunkai believed that Hermione could understand what he was saying.
It's just that Dumbledore chose to play dumb.
It seems that Dumbledore is determined to pit Harry to death!
Faced with such a situation, the smartest thing for Lu Yunkai to do is to stay away from Harry as Snape said.
But can he really do this without any worries? If so, he is not Lu Yunkai!
In that room, the moment when Harry endured the severe pain and threw the Philosopher's Stone at him lingered in Lu Yunkai's mind.
If you don't cherish a friend who dares to take risks alone just for a belief, what kind of person do you want? Someone who hides in the back and stabs you? I can do that kind of work myself!
More importantly, you want me to get out of here, so I’ll get out of here? Ugh!
Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth.
A spell, right? You want me to stay away from Harry, right?
I won’t!
You old man, can you still control me?
Lu Yunkai looked back at the stone phoenix behind him, turned around, and walked back to the Slytherin common room in the basement.
