Chapter 75: Forbidden Book Spell
When Lu Yunkai was reminded by Hermione to divert his attention away from Ginny, who was a little helpless, his ideas for solving the problem suddenly opened up.
This also made Lu Yunkai really admire that little girl with freckles...
Well, it seemed a bit inappropriate to say that. When Lu Yunkai thought about this, he realized that the freckles on Hermione's face seemed to have become very few. Lu Yunkai even felt that she was waiting for a suitable time to remove all her freckles.
This shouldn't be a difficult task for a wizard apprentice as smart as Hermione.
But when Lu Yunkai's opponents changed from notebook and Ginny to that monster who didn't know what it was, he felt that it was not so difficult.
The first thing, of course, is to figure out what the monster is. Lu Yunkai did not intend to start from Harry's body like Hermione to figure out what sounds only he could hear.
Isn’t it good to ask the victim?
Professor Sprout said that she needed to wait for the batch of mandrakes she planted to mature, and then use the juice to lift the petrified state of the first-year student named Creevey.
Lu Yunkai felt that a problem that could be solved with just one gold galleon was nothing at all...
However, at noon the next day.
"Meow! Stop making trouble!! How are you going to explain where you got this thing from? Do you still want others to know about your crappy magic?"
Chris was firmly opposed to Lu Yunkai taking a bottle of potion to help Creevey de-petrify.
"But other than this method, we have no way of knowing what exactly he was attacked by!"
"Meow! Then wait for Hermione and Harry to investigate! I'll just keep an eye on Ginny for you!"
"But……"
"What's the point!" Chris slapped Lu Yun with some annoyance, "You are here to help that Gryffindor boy recover. In less than an hour, Ginny will tell the notebook, believe it or not? Then Voldemort will What should I do if the news spreads that you betrayed him?"
"this……"
"If you want to do this, you might as well go to Ginny to grab the notebook, and then throw the explosive corrosive potion on it in front of her!" Chris saw Lu Yunkai being rendered speechless by her series of rhetorical questions. He is not so angry anymore, "Meow, what's wrong with you? Why is your brain so hard to use suddenly?"
"Because I think Hermione's idea is actually a good one..."
"Of course Hermione and the others have no problem, meow! Harry and Voldemort are always fighting to the death, but he is protected by Dumbledore and is not afraid of the Death Eaters. What about you?" Chrissy once again took out Snape's soul. Ask questions.
Lu Yunkai was speechless.
He really didn't expect this aspect.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have gotten into big trouble."
Lu Yunkai shook the mandrake juice he had redeemed from the system and smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I'm going to the Gryffindor lounge." Seeing that Lu Yunkai had calmed down, Chris stopped scolding him.
Leaving the dormitory lightly with cat steps.
Lu Yunkai also sold the bottle of mandrake juice he just bought back to the system, and then returned to the lounge.
The night before, Lu Yunkai didn't stop in the lounge after returning from the Room of Requirement. He went straight back to the dormitory, and then through Blaise's oral transmission, he cast more than a hundred spells in a row. He was too tired to move. Today Since there were no classes in the morning, he slept in the dormitory all morning, but he also knew that he would always have to deal with other Slytherins.
He defeated Hermione again on the duel stage. Although Slytherin once again had points deducted because of him, none of the Slytherin students blamed him. On the contrary, they all gave him a thumbs up.
Anyway, for Slytherin, with Snape here, five points in the Academy Cup is really nothing.
Some Slytherins who were not at the scene yesterday and were familiar with Lu Yunkai also came to congratulate Lu Yunkai.
After Hermione revealed yesterday that he had used the magic amplification spell in the forbidden book area, Lu Yunkai actually didn't really want to accept their compliments, but he had no choice but to do so. It was also a form of "courtesy".
After a while, the Slytherins who gathered around him finally dispersed.
"The clouds are opening!"
"Senior Fali." Lu Yunkai looked at the belated prefect behind the crowd and could only stand up from his seat with his body propped up.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fali gave Lu Yunkai an appreciative look, "But I'm here to inform you that I just met Professor McGonagall when I returned to the dormitory, and she asked you to go to her office."
"Professor McGonagall?"
"I see that Professor Snape and Professor Lockhart are also with her. It doesn't seem to be a good thing. Did you hurt Granger seriously?"
"No! She should have been discharged from the hospital and returned to the dormitory last night!" Lu Yunkai was a little confused.
"Then I don't know why." Fali shook her head, "Maybe she wants to find a place for their Gryffindor genius? How careful you are."
"It's okay, isn't Professor Snape here?"
"That's right!" Fali smiled and patted Lu Yunkai on the shoulder.
Lu Yunkai walked out of the lounge with a smile.
It was a familiar journey to the Transfiguration classroom.
"...Hello professors, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Yunkai bowed awkwardly and said hello to everyone in the room.
In addition to McGonagall and Snape, two people who admired him very much, and Lockhart, a fool, Lu Yunkai also met the old man who gave him a headache and made him feel helpless.
"You are here? Sit down."
Snape saw Lu Yunkai walk into the room and pointed to a seat next to him.
Lu Yunkai nodded and sat down.
"I heard from Professor Lockhart that you performed very well in the duel with Miss Granger last night." Dumbledore, who was sitting in the middle, still had his usual humble smile on his face, "even a little too good."
"Thank you for the compliment, professor." Lu Yunkai's eyelids twitched.
"I think Girod has always had some prejudice against Lu Yunkai. Because he always seems to not care so much about his reputation." Snape pressed Lu Yunkai's leg, signaling him not to speak, and he spoke to himself.
"I know the magical attainments of Granger and Lu Yunkai very well. Lu Yunkai can't tie with her head-on in a duel..." Lockhart shook his head seriously.
"I think Quirrell might have thought so at first. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Lu Yunkai with the petrification spell." Snape interrupted Lockhart.
"As far as I know, in Hogwarts, it is forbidden to learn and use magic amplification spells. Where did you learn it?" Dumbledore took over Snape's words.
"I taught him." Snape said calmly.
"Severus..."
"He needs some means of self-protection. There are as many people watching him as there are watching Mr. Potter." Snape interrupted Dumbledore.
The scene was a little stiff.
"No one will attack Lu Yunkai." Professor McGonagall said unhappily beside him.
"This summer he was attacked by some people who wanted to find Slughorn in Liverpool. He was lucky and escaped, but it doesn't mean he can do it next time."
"This summer?" Dumbledore was surprised when he heard Snape's words.
"Yes. I happened to be nearby for some reason, so I knew it." Snape looked at Dumbledore deeply.
Dumbledore was silent.
"And I heard from students that Lu Yunkai used spells very sparingly. He didn't intend to use the Stunning Spell to focus Miss Granger, but just wanted to disarm her. It was only because Miss Granger misjudged herself that she was almost injured." Snape still looked calm, "If he really wanted to hurt Miss Granger, I think he would have many ways to do it."
"How could I hurt Hermione!" Lu Yunkai interrupted in time.
"Well, I also believe that you will not hurt Miss Granger. But Severus may have forgotten to remind you when he taught you the Magic Amplification Spell," Professor McGonagall's face was still not very good, "In Hogwarts, this spell is forbidden to use."
"Yes." Lu Yunkai nodded.
"Okay, do you have any other questions? If not, I'll take him away." Snape interrupted Lu Yunkai again.
After speaking, he directly pulled Lu Yunkai out of the Transfiguration classroom.
...
With his head buried and not speaking, Snape just pulled Lu Yunkai all the way to the potion classroom on the basement floor.
The classroom door was closed with a bang, and Snape's face was still expressionless.
"I'm sorry, professor..."
"You don't have to apologize. When I wrote you that note, I knew you must be more than just curious about why the books in the restricted section were banned."
Snape looked straight at Lu Yunkai and shook his head.
"Yeah." Lu Yunkai lowered his head.
"So, what do you know? What are you looking for in the restricted section?"
Snape still stared at Lu Yunkai's eyes, trying to use Legilimency to detect his thoughts.
However, he could not see anything.
"...I asked you something before."
Lu Yunkai was silent for a while, and then answered.
"I told you that would send you to Azkaban!!" Snape shouted angrily.
"But I'm a little worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Snape said angrily, "No one dares to hurt you."
"But before in Liverpool..."
"Those people wanted Slughorn to help them, not to be his enemy. Otherwise, your identity is now known to everyone in Hogwarts, why don't they come to you directly?" Snape waved his hand and interrupted Lu Yunkai's questioning, "Okay, I don't know where you got so many banned books, you are not allowed to read them anymore."
"Yes."
"Forget it, I think it's useless to say it." Snape sighed softly.
Lu Yunkai agreed so straightforwardly, it would be strange if he believed it.
The classroom was somewhat silent and suppressed.
Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking that he might find an excuse to leave, the door of the classroom was suddenly knocked.
"Come in." Snape also knew that he had nothing to say to Lu Yunkai, so he shouted at the door.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and Daphne rushed in.
"Professor!! Yunkai!! Something bad has happened!"
"Why are you yelling!" Snape looked unhappy.
Lu Yunkai quickly grabbed Daphne.
"What happened?"
Seeing Daphne's panic, Lu Yunkai was also a little panicked.
"Something happened! Chris... Chris was attacked!"
"...What??"
