Chapter 112 The Golden Python
Chapter 112 The Golden Python
Although Chris assured Lu Yunkai that Ginny should be fine, it was probably because of the huge change that she encountered this time that she completely tore off the skin of her cute little sister, revealing her nature of being a world-weary and cold girl, but Lu Yunkai still felt that this matter It may not be so sure.
Ever since, Lu Yunkai made a very prudent decision: to stay by Harry's side before Black was captured by the Ministry of Magic.
Being next to Harry, who was "heavyly protected" by the Ministry of Magic, was the safest place in England right now.
This matter was also confirmed by Chris.
It told Lu Yunkai that the Auror who didn't let him go upstairs that day was named Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was already a top five Auror in the Ministry of Magic when Jesse was still alive, and was once arranged by the Ministry of Magic to protect him Muggle Prime Minister to avoid being attacked by some brain-twitching Death Eater...
Lu Yunkai felt that such security measures should be much stronger than those at his own home.
So I handed over the family affairs to Xueli, and gave it the seeds that could be planted when Irene came to work in September, and then moved back to live in the Leaky Cauldron.
For this, Daphne, who didn't know the situation, was a little bit dissatisfied.
"Why can't my house compare to the Leaky Cauldron?"
This is how Daphne develops her temper with Lu Yun.
But Lu Yunkai really couldn't tell her that if Ginny's side was as he had guessed, he was now one of the two most dangerous people in England, staying at Daphne's house would be tantamount to harming her.
In this way, Lu Yunkai had no choice but to return to the state of two years ago when only the two of them stayed together every day.
It's just that this time it's even worse, they can't even go to Diagon Alley.
I can only squat in the bar room every day and watch Lu Yunkai study the mirror...
Harry, who was born as a Muggle and has seen a phone before, naturally doesn't feel so magical about the idea of this mirror like Mrs. Zabini and Blaise, but it is true that he can carry it around without a phone line. It made Harry think this thing was a little interesting.
Fortunately, this boring day did not last for a few days, and the time came to the end of July.
The owl delivered the letter, and the new school year at Hogwarts officially kicked off.
And along with the owl, the Leaky Cauldron was bustling again.
After all, the Ministry of Magic didn't want to panic because of a fugitive, so even Knockturn Alley, which had been closed for a few days, was unsealed before Hogwarts delivered the letter.
The Daily Prophet also gave a very redundant official statement: "A large-scale cleaning and epidemic prevention has been completed."
It's just that Lu Yunkai learned from Mrs. Zabini that people from the Ministry of Magic "explicitly stated" that the shops in Knockturn Alley, including Zabini's magic item shop, "do not need to reopen for the time being if it is not necessary."
Anyway, Lu Yunkai would not go out unless necessary.
But soon, the need came to the door: Daphne asked him to take Astoria to Diagon Alley to purchase supplies for the new school year.
……
"This monster book of monsters is really scary."
Seeing Lu Yunkai and Daphne each holding the third grade textbook on protecting magical creatures, Astoria's face was filled with lingering fear.
This broken book has a mouth and teeth, at first glance it looks like a beast.
"Okay, we've bought everything." Daphne also thought the book was disgusting, so she threw it into her carry-on space bag without saying a word, clapped her hands, and looked at Astoria, "You still have to What?"
"I... only have magic pets left." Astoria looked at the list, "Brother-in-law, you have prepared everything for potions class, right?"
"Here." Lu Yunkai backhanded a space bag and threw it to Astoria.
"Thank you brother-in-law!!" Astoria gave Lu Yun a sweet smile.
Before, she thought that the interspatial bag that Lu Yunkai gave Daphne was beautiful and practical, and she always wanted to pester Lu Yunkai to let him give her one too, but because she was afraid of Daphne, she only dared to "mention it by the way" every time.
I didn't expect Lu Yunkai to be so conscious.
"You're welcome, this is also a gift to congratulate you on becoming a magic apprentice." Lu Yun laughed.
Anyway, this thing is not worth much money, Lu Yunkai said silently in his heart.
"That's the owl shop over there, let's go!" Daphne shook her head with a smile, and her eyes fell on the crowded Yila owl shop not far away.
"I don't want an owl." Astoria pouted. "It's everywhere..."
Before she finished speaking, a little boy who was probably going to enter school this year walked past them carrying an owl cage.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Daphne rolled her eyes at Astoria who got a space bag and started to cock her tail happily, "Owls are the most practical, don't mess with those useless ones!"
"Brother-in-law's pet is not a cat..." Astoria felt aggrieved.
"That's really not a cat...and he bought an owl!" Daphne didn't dare to say that Chris was useless, that broken cat was something that even basilisks couldn't kill, where did you get it?
"I want to buy some other pets." Astoria insisted, "Anyway, my mother gave me a hundred gold Galleons to choose from..."
"Hmph." Daphne looked unhappy.
If Hailin hadn't agreed to take Astoria out to buy things today, and the rest of the money would be Daphne's own, she wouldn't be willing to bring this oil bottle to Lu Yunkai!
"Let's go! Go to the Magic Zoo." Lu Yun laughed and smoothed things over, and then pulled Daphne to Elizabeth's shop.
Although it was a concentrated period for Hogwarts students to buy supplies for the new semester, there were still few people in the Magic Zoo not far from the entrance of Diagon Alley.As Daphne said, more useful owls are the first choice for magical pets for wizard apprentices.
When Lu Yunkai opened the store door, there was only one customer inside, hugging a big ginger cat...
"Lu Yunkai!! Oh! Daphne! How are you!"
The girl holding the cat saw the three people coming in and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, Hermione!" Daphne replied with a smile, and then her eyes fell on the cat in her arms, "Are you here...to buy a cat?"
"That's right!" Hermione's face had a strong expression of doting on the cat, "Although this cat can't talk, but according to Boss Isabella, it is very spiritual."
"Hello!" Lu Yun smiled and waved to the yellow cat.
"Meow!!" The cat in Hermione's arms saw Lu Yunkai and barked at him.
"Crookshanks seems to like you very much!" Hermione laughed.
"Is it called Crookshanks? It's much prettier than Chris." Lu Yun joked with a smile, and then looked at Isabella, who was squinting and looking at them with a smile, " Boss, do you have any interesting pets here?"
"It's quite interesting, but you probably don't need it, right? Chris..." When talking about the broken cat, Isabella shook her head with a helpless smile on her face.
"It's not me, it's for her." Lu Yunkai pointed to Astoria who was curiously looking at the various animals in the room.
"Little sister, what kind of animal do you like?" Isabella asked Astoria with a smile.
"I don't know... what do you have here?"
"It has everything!"
"Is there a basilisk?"
"You want to die by jumping into the lake and drowning yourself?" Daphne gave Astoria a hard look.
"Your sister is going to Hogwarts this year?" Hearing this, Hermione understood what was going on, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Well, a crazy girl, I wouldn't have told her about those things in school if I knew it earlier." Daphne glanced at Lu Yunkai.
That means, can you help her choose?
Lu Yunkai looked at Astoria, then looked around, and his eyes fell on a gray long-haired rabbit.
"Do you like rabbits?"
"I don't like it." Astoria refused very simply, "I like animals that look more ferocious, such as snakes... Ah! Sister! I said snakes! Not basilisks!!"
Astoria rubbed her arms with an aggrieved expression on her face.
"If you really like it, little sister, I have a golden python that just hatched two months ago."
Isabella said, waving the wand in her hand.
A plastic box flew out from behind her and landed in front of several people.
"Wow! So cute!!" Seeing the pale yellow python coiled in the box, Astoria's eyes lit up.
"...How cute is this thing?" Lu Yunkai muttered in a low voice.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Hermione, who was holding the cat beside her with an uncomfortable expression on her face.
"You like this snake? How much... how much?" Daphne didn't seem to like the golden python very much, but she didn't bother to talk nonsense with Astoria, so she asked the boss casually.
"Fifty gold Galleons."
"...Okay." Daphne gritted her teeth, took out fifty Galleons from her pocket, and placed them in front of the boss.
Astoria hugged the box containing the snake happily.
"That... I'm sorry, Daphne, can I have a few words with Lu Yunkai alone?" Hermione interjected apologetically seeing that Lu Yunkai was done with this matter.
"I can't control him!" Daphne blushed when Hermione asked, then took Astoria's hand and looked at Lu Yunkai: "Then let's go back first."
"wait for me a bit……"
"No, I'll send her back immediately." Daphne shook her head.
Then, regardless of the younger sister who obviously had a nostalgia for Diagon Alley and tried to struggle, he dragged her out of the Magic Zoo.
"Thank you." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded to the boss who was smiling happily, and then walked out of the store with Hermione.
"Lu Yunkai, have you been living in the Leaky Cauldron?"
"Well. I think Harry is a bit boring living here alone, so I stay with him in the bar. What's the matter?" When Lu Yunkai said this, a little bit of embarrassment welled up in his heart.
Just a little bit.
"Ron told me that when his father asked him to meet Harry today, he had to be careful not to tell Harry too much about Sirius Black...you know that guy?"
"What do you think?" Lu Yun laughed, "I was a guest at Ron's house before, and his father told me before I left to mention that person as little as possible in front of Harry."
"Do you know why? I heard from Ron that his father was worried that Harry would go after that man."
"...Do you think I know a lot about Death Eaters because I was born in Slytherin?" Lu Yun laughed happily, "I heard that although that Sirius belongs to the Black family, the Sorting Hat is Sorted him to Gryffindor!"
"That's not what I meant! I just...well, I'm sorry, but if you know the reason, can you tell me?" Hermione gave up in the middle of her sentence.
"I know, I know a little bit, but there are quite a lot of people who know about it, why do you insist on asking me?" Lu Yunkai was a little helpless, "If I told you, you ran to tell Harry what happened to him Well, in the end I'll feel sorry again..."
"I won't tell him!" Hermione rolled a blank look at Lu Yunkai, "I didn't tell him and Ron about the basilisk last year!"
"Then you were squeezed out by the two of them, weren't you?"
"Don't worry! I won't talk nonsense just because of this!" Hermione waved her hand, "Do you want me to swear? I learned a new Unbreakable Vow this year..."
"No need. You are really picking on me alone!"
"That's because you are a good person and have a conscience, so you feel that telling me these things may harm others, so what you said must be true..."
"Don't put a high hat on me! I said it's not enough!" Lu Yunkai sighed speechlessly, "That man... is one of Harry's father-killing enemies, the kind who did it himself."
"what???"
Hermione exclaimed.
Pedestrians on the street looked over one after another.
