Chapter 53 Going in Circles

Although the Malfoy family's house is much grander than the Brace family, and even the tableware is made of silver, when it comes to the dinner itself, Lu Yunkai feels that it is still a lot worse than the dinner that Mrs. Zabini personally made.

After all, the Malfoy family is full of house elves, and it is not the turn of the noble Mrs. Malfoy to cook in person.

As for the cooking skills of magical creatures like house elves, Lu Yunkai was already familiar with them when he was at Hogwarts.

Of course, Lu Yunkai didn't come here just to eat.

Lu Yunkai smiled as he listened to Draco's continued complaints about not being able to go to France, and Mrs. Malfoy's complaints about the necklace that cost four hundred thousand, and in the end Mrs. Zabini refused to buy it for a thousand galleons cheaper. cater.

Regarding his current situation, he can only say that he is busy refining some potions and selling them to make money so that he can collect some expenses for the next school year.

"I really envy you. You have this opportunity to earn your own money and spend it yourself. I can't."

Draco's words almost broke Lu Yunkai's guard and made him lose his smile.

But he withstood it.

Lucius appeared in the restaurant only halfway through the dinner. His expression didn't look very good, but he still had the energy to say hello to Lu Yunkai.

When the head of the family returned, Draco and his wife finally stopped talking about Versailles, which gave Lu Yunkai a headache.

The content of the conversation also shifted from the daily life of the Malfoy family to the school life at Hogwarts, and Lu Yunkai's help and care for Draco.

Lu Yunkai deserved it. After all, Draco's grades were among the lowest in the first grade. When it came to studying, he was still less knowledgeable than Daphne. If Lu Yunkai hadn't helped him with all kinds of homework, he would probably be able to be taught. They are trained to be autistic...

Well, the word autistic definitely does not belong to Master Malfoy, but his life will definitely be much harder, and his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, will probably not be so obedient to him.

And more importantly, Lu Yunkai has always given Malfoy face. Although he has done a lot of things for him, he has never told him about it. He almost never makes Malfoy feel that he cannot lose face in front of others.

Because of this, Malfoy looked at most people in Hogwarts through his nose, but he was very polite to Lu Yunkai.

Just like usual, Lu Yunkai's gratitude to Lucius still showed humility and rejection.

"It's all Draco's own good understanding, and I didn't help much. On the contrary, Draco often gave me some financial help when I was in school."

Lu Yunkai's words were very decent, and the smile on Draco's face could not disappear.

Yes, if you ask Lu Yunkai to buy medicine, I will help him financially! !

Lu Yunkai's tricks of fooling his peers would definitely not work in front of an old fox like Lucius. But Lucius didn't seem to mind his precious son's egomaniacal tendencies, and he had some other things to say.

"No wonder so many great people value you, you are indeed a talent!"

Lucius's compliment to Lu Yunkai was full of meaning.

"But Professor Dumbledore doesn't like me very much." Lu Yunkai understood Lucius' words and answered with such a sentence that Draco and his mother could not understand.

And Lucius immediately understood what Lu Yunkai was talking about.

Lu Yunkai knew that the great person he was talking about was not Dumbledore, but the person who couldn't even mention his name.

As a result, the chat at the dinner table began to undergo some subtle changes.

Draco and Mrs. Malfoy found that they gradually couldn't talk anymore because they couldn't understand what Lu Yunkai was saying to Lucius.

The weather is good and bad, sunny and rainy, so British people like to take umbrellas when going out, which is really smart;

How about an ancient tree in Wales that was struck by lightning, but escaped being cut down, sprouted new shoots, and grew into a towering tree?

Lu Yunkai planned to make money and settle down in Liverpool in the future, but Lucius suggested going to Manchester because Liverpool was too far away from London, and he felt like he was being sent away...

Finally, while Draco was dizzy, the dinner ended, and then Lu Yunkai was invited by Lucius into his study, while Draco, who was confused, was drunk by his father to take care of him. Later, my mother, who was a bit drunk, stopped me outside.

"Mr. Malfoy, what a terrible excuse you have come up with."

Sitting on the sofa in the study room, Lu Yunkai had a smile on his face.

But in his hand hidden in his sleeve, he held a stand-in doll that he had bought but not used before in Liverpool, and a bottle of explosive corrosive potion that he was very familiar with.

The mental potion and agility potion he just drank while drinking water have begun to take effect. Lu Yunkai is confident that as long as Lucius does not think that he has a stand-in doll, he is 100% sure that he will not be left here.

"If Draco was half as smart as you, I wouldn't have said that." Lucius waved his wand and cast two anti-eavesdropping spells on the door, then turned back and sat on the other side of the room next to Lu Yunkai. Putting on the sofa, "So, you have guessed that I sent you the notebook?"

"It's not a guess, it's what it told me." Lu Yunkai took out his notebook from his arms and placed it on the small round table between the two of them.

He glanced at Lucius slightly from the corner of his eyes.

The moment he saw the notebook, his eyes were a little confused.

Well, that's good. Lu Yunkai was a little excited. It seemed that he had made the right bet. Mr. Malfoy's attitude towards the notebook and even the mysterious man was the same as what he said at the dinner table. He was more afraid than respectful, and more disgusted than intimate.

"Does this gentleman trust you so much?"

"After all, he asked you to send the notebook to me, didn't he?"

"...Then why did you bring it here again?"

"Because the matter of the Philosopher's Stone failed...You should have heard from Draco, right?"

"He said that Potter and you destroyed the Philosopher's Stone."

"To be precise, it was Harry, not me." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I originally wanted to follow that person's request and secretly hide the Philosopher's Stone when Harry fainted, and then bring it to this notebook. Unfortunately, the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed in Harry's hands. I had to ask the notebook, and it asked me to give it to you. Because it has another plan."

"Oh? What plan?"

"Please ask it yourself." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Maybe what it said to you is different from what it said to me?"

"Well..." Lucius took a deep breath, but did not refute Lu Yunkai.

At this time, Lu Yunkai's heart, which was hanging because of the adventure, was finally put down.

Today, he came to Malfoy Manor, which was actually a helpless adventure. He was just betting that the Malfoy family was not willing to cause too much trouble for this notebook.

As long as they are not crazy followers of the Death Eaters, they will not attack themselves for the grievances that Voldemort in this notebook has suffered from them.

Things went more smoothly than Lu Yunkai thought: Lucius only became the nominal leader of the remaining Death Eaters who were not arrested in Azkaban because he had no choice, so he sent the more radical one of them to Liverpool, and even he joined the Death Eaters just because it was raining and he needed an umbrella...

Lu Yunkai even felt that Lucius now probably regarded him as a ghost sent by Voldemort to question why he did not take the initiative to help him resurrect.

The study became quiet, and Lucius looked at the notebook, but never touched it.

Lu Yunkai sold the explosive corrosion potion that he had just exchanged from the system, and as for the substitute doll, he still held it tightly in his left hand.

It took a long time like this.

"What you just said about needing a house, is it true?" Lucius asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

"I just happen to have some vacancies here..."

"Mr. Malfoy, you must have misunderstood. I am just a student at Hogwarts who has not yet entered the second grade. I am not yet a subordinate of that adult." Lu Yunkai interrupted Lucius, "Before I figure out whether I am a real Muggle-born, I dare not and am not worthy of calling myself that."

"...I understand." After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Lucius realized that Lu Yunkai did not want to be tied to him because of Voldemort's matter, so he could only nod.

In fact, if he were in his place, he would make the same choice. After all, it is too difficult to say whether Voldemort can be resurrected now.

"Then I will go back."

"I will let Draco take you..."

"No need. I think you have more troubles than me." Lu Yunkai took a last look at the notebook and stood up.

"Goodbye." Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Lucius sighed softly and nodded.

…

“Meow? You’re finally back!”

A quarter of an hour later, in the room of the Leaky Cauldron, Chris jumped onto the shoulder of Lu Yunkai who walked into the room.

Her tone sounded joyful.

“Fortunately, he didn’t kill me directly to silence me. And maybe he’s not very loyal to Voldemort.”

“Except for a few crazy people, the people from those big families basically joined the Death Eaters because of their family’s position. As long as you don’t force them to break up their families, they generally won’t fight you to death.” Chris nodded, “But are you sure that the notebook won’t cause Lucius to cause you trouble later?”

“For that notebook, resurrection is the top priority, and it needs my help now… Although I don’t know whether it’s true or not, I believe it’s true. And Lucius is the kind of person who doesn’t mind doing more trouble. At least I’m safe for now.” Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, “As long as I make some preparations before he resurrects, I don’t think I will have too many worries about my life.”

“Meow, do you really want to help him resurrect? alive?"

"... Don't you understand me? When did I say I would help him?"

"Didn't you just say..."

"He needs my help, did I say I would help him? ? As long as he doesn't come back to life, I won't have to worry about being killed by him forever, do you think I should help him?" Lu Yunkai tapped Chris's head gently, "But just in case, I still have to make some preparations."

"What preparations?"

"A strong bloodline background."

"Meow? How did you go around and come back again!" Chris was happy to hear this, "You were worried about this thing a year ago, and now you're here again?"

"That's different! Before, I didn't have the money to buy it from the system, but now... I need to buy a suitable one." Lu Yunkai looked disapproving, "Now even if I want to pretend to be a descendant of Merlin, I can afford to fake it."

"Merlin is a proper Englishman, you should forget it, meow!" Chris shook her head, "You'd better find a reliable oriental ancestor."

"There are no great magicians in the East! We all practice Taoism."

"Meow, then...what do you think of the descendants of King Solomon?"

"What??"
