Hogwarts Kryptonian

"We graduated this year!" Fred answered with a smile next to him. "Father wants us to try to take the Ministry of Magic clerkship exam, but I think the two of us going to work at the Ministry of Magic will cause trouble for the family."

"We are not Percy's kind." George nodded.

"...Percy has a bad relationship with you guys?" Lu Yunkai was a little surprised to hear that the word George used to refer to Percy was actually "goods".

"It's a good day, let's not mention that thing." George waved his hand, "That's it. When we were in school, we liked to make some prank toys..."

"Well, I know...oh! Yes!!"

Lu Yunkai thought of something and reached into his space bag. After a while, he took out a piece of candy and placed it on the table.

George and Fred were both stunned.

"What, you don't know me? You two gave this to me back then!" Lu Yun smiled.

"When did it happen?" Fred reached out and picked up the piece of candy, looked at it, and then put it down. "It is indeed the first generation of truant candy we have developed..."

"First generation??" George was dumbfounded when he heard this, and quickly reached out to pick it up and take a look, "It's true!! We don't even have it in our hands... You actually still have it??"

"When you gave it to me, I accepted it. But I usually don't skip classes and don't need it, so I just kept it." Lu Yun smiled and nodded, "What?"

"...Can you return this piece of candy to us? Oh! Yes! We can exchange it for you with the latest model! Although the new candy will cause nosebleeds after eating it, it is not as bad as the old one. If it hurts your health, you can basically just sleep." Fred suggested seriously, "We want to keep this piece of candy..."

"Yes! This is where our dream begins." George said seriously.

"Okay!" Lu Yun nodded with a smile, "So, you asked me to borrow money because you want to open a store to sell these mischievous toys?"

"Yeah." George nodded, "Although we have saved a little money in school over the years, we still have a little bit of money to use to open a store. We want to borrow money from Gringotts, but we just graduated and don't have much. Things can be used as collateral..."

"And we don't want to involve our families in this matter. We want to do it ourselves." Fred interjected. "So if we go to Gringotts to borrow money, the conditions are too harsh. After calculating it, we feel that it is too much of a loss."

"Basically, our store is opening for Gringotts." George complained in a disdainful tone.

"Do you want me to invest or do you want to borrow money and pay me back in the future?"

Lu Yunkai asked in a playful tone.

"Of course we hope to borrow money." George continued, "But if you are worried that we can't repay the money, you can invest if you are willing, but we hope to have a majority share in this store."

"Generally speaking, you want me to invest rather than borrow money, right?" Lu Yun laughed, "This way, if you stop making money, you don't have to be in debt!"

"It's impossible not to make money." George's face was full of confidence, "We were able to sell so many things when we were in school, and we can definitely do it now!"

"It seems that you are very confident in yourself!" Lu Yun laughed, "Actually, I would rather invest...because I also have great confidence in you. But...well, I won't take advantage of you. You need How much to borrow?”

"Thirty thousand gold galleons." Fred said seriously, "Repay it in five years, and I will pay you back seven thousand two hundred gold galleons every year..."

"Seven thousand and five thousand," George interjected.

"...Didn't we calculate it? That's seven thousand two!!" Fred was a little surprised and a little angry at George's words.

"Just this piece of candy is worth an extra three hundred dollars a year." George pointed to the piece of candy on the table.

Fred was stunned, glanced at the skipping candy on the table, was silent for a while, and then nodded.

"Seven thousand five, just seven thousand five."

"Seven thousand five, five years?" Lu Yunkai did a rough calculation, "The interest for that year was more than five percent! The interest on the loan Gringotts gave you was higher than this??"

"The annual interest is over 10%!!" Fred gritted his teeth.

"...It's so dark!" Lu Yun smiled and sighed, then put away his smile and nodded. Then he took out a piece of parchment from the space bag, pointed on it with his wand, and handed it to the two of them. "here."

"...you agreed?"

George and Fred panicked when Lu Yunkai gave them a Gringotts withdrawal voucher for thirty thousand gold galleons so simply.

When had they ever seen so many Galleons...

oh! Seen it! During the Triwizard Tournament, Daphne wanted to defeat Lu Yunkai and win.

In fact, if they had accepted the order at that time, they would not have to come to Lu Yunkai to borrow money now...

"Not only do you have confidence in you, I also have confidence in you!" Lu Yunkai nodded seriously, "Don't say 30,000, I will borrow even 100,000."

"...Just do it!" Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, George and Fred looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll leave first. I wish you a prosperous business!" Lu Yunkai stood up with a smile.

"Wait a minute! We will give you an IOU..."

"No need." Lu Yun, who had already stood up, smiled and shook his head, "It's not necessary."

"……ah?"

"You are not the kind of people who refuse to pay back money if you have money." Lu Yunkai said with a smile: "If you really can't pay back the compensation, I can't force you with the IOU, right? That's it! I'll go. Say hello to Tom."

"...Okay!" George put away the withdrawal voucher that Lu Yunkai just issued to them, and nodded seriously to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai smiled and came to the bar holding a butter beer glass.

"Did you just invest money?"

Tom, who was napping behind the counter, glanced at Lu Yunkai and asked with a smile.

"Um."

"These two Weasley boys are good and can accomplish things." Tom commented on George and Fred.

"I hope so." Lu Yunkai laughed, then glanced at the empty bar. "Why does the bar feel like it's not doing well?"

Except for the twins who were still writing and drawing on the table over there with parchment paper and seemed to be planning something, there was only Lu Yunkai.

Although today is not the weekend, there are no other guests, which Lu Yunkai did not expect.

"The mysterious man has reappeared. Now wizards try not to go out as much as possible. It would be strange if the business of a place like a bar can still be good." Tom sighed softly, "If it weren't for the Ministry of Magic ordering me to stay here Don’t close the shop, I almost want to close the shop and go on a trip.”

"...many shops in Diagon Alley are closed?"

"Most of my old friends are only open one day a week." Tom nodded, "Some even leave a note on the door and contact the mirror directly if there is anything..."

"...Sigh." Lu Yunkai sighed.

Indeed, Voldemort's reappearance actually had such side effects, which he did not expect.

But when I think about it, isn’t this what the saying goes, fame means nothing?

But that's it, why do so many wizards support Voldemort?

don't know……

"By the way, are you interested in taking over the Leaky Cauldron?" Tom suddenly said something.

"……What?"

"The Leaky Cauldron. Would you be interested in taking over?" Tom said again, "You or Chrissy."

"...Do you want to change hands?" Lu Yunkai was stunned. "Although business has been slow recently, it won't last long. Regardless of whether the mysterious man can succeed or not, sooner or later the wizards will still come out to drink!"

"I understand this. It's not like I haven't experienced it last time." Tom smiled and shook his head, then sighed, "I'm just a little tired. I'm guarding the bar every day and can't go anywhere... A few years ago, I don’t think so. Now that I have some free time, I suddenly realize that although I seem to have a lot of friends, I can’t find anyone to chat with when I have nothing to do.”

After speaking, he shook his head.

"...But I really have no interest in opening a bar." Lu Yunkai was a little helpless, "I don't like dealing with people very much."

"Yeah. I know too... forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Tom sighed again and stopped talking.

The bar fell completely silent.

After sitting at the bar for a while, Lu Yunkai finished his drink, paid the bill, and returned to his home from the fireplace.

The house is also so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Although he knew that Aileen would definitely not encounter any danger as long as she didn't go out, Lu Yunkai still felt anxious for no reason.

Nothing should happen, right?

Lu Yunkai threw his backpack on the rack next to the fireplace and turned to the backyard.

My anxious heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on my face.

Irene was sitting in a straw shed built at some point next to the field, drinking some kind of juice and lying on a lounge chair.

"After all, there is a sea view in the front yard. What kind of lie are you doing here?"

Lu Yunkai walked into the hay shed with a smile and asked Irene.

"...Yo! Are you back?" Irene pushed up the sunglasses she bought from the Muggle world on the bridge of her nose, squinted her eyes, and looked at Lu Yunkai.

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai pointed to an empty lounge chair next to him.

"Sit down! Why are you being polite to me?" Irene smiled.

Lu Yunkai sat down and then lay down on the recliner.

"The herbs are growing well this year!" Lu Yunkai sighed softly as he looked at the thriving herbs in the large field in front of him.

"They don't know that this year's wizards are faced with life and death decisions. They are heartless, but of course they look good."

Erin babbled under her breath.

"...Sister, listen to my advice..."

"don't want."

Aileen's refusal was much more straightforward than Lu Yunkai's invitation.

Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly, not knowing what else to say.

"There are so many Muggle-born wizards in England, and it's impossible for them all to hide abroad. There won't be any more like me." Irene felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Yunkai's look.

"I can't listen to people nagging me every day about how terrible Voldemort is." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore, you won't listen anyway."

After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Aileen said nothing more.

The two of them sat quietly in the backyard together for a while before the cat appeared in the backyard and broke the tranquility.

"Meow? Why are you here?"

Chris jumped onto Lu Yunkai's chest very skillfully.

"Come and see the herb field. You came back very quickly!" Lu Yunkai reached out and touched the cat's head.

"Tom just told me, you went to Diagon Alley?" Chris stretched out his paw to push away Lu Yunkai's hand.

"Yeah. You went too?"

"I originally wanted to talk to that dead old man about something, but his store was also closed." Chris looked unhappy, "I also met Bellatrix in Diagon Alley."

"Oh? What is she doing?"

"I don't know what I'm going to do when I go to Gringotts." Chris shook her head, "But it looks nervous and mysterious, so that's probably not a good thing."

"...Why are you sneaking into Gringotts?" Lu Yunkai looked at Chris and was happy.

"No such plan! Those goblins are more disgusting than the last, and the restrictions inside are designed to be inhumane." Chris snorted, "I just suddenly remembered something, meow."

"you say."

"If Voldemort wanted to hide his Horcruxes, where in the world would be the best place to hide them?"

"...Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Meow, I remembered something." Chrissy looked at Lu Yunkai seriously and said, "That Ravenclaw diadem."

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

The most secure place in the world to hide something? Azkaban, Gringotts and Hogwarts…

And where is the best place in Hogwarts to hide something?

What better place than the Room of Requirement?

And the Room of Requirement…

"You are really a little genius!!"

Lu Yunkai rubbed the cat's head and jumped up from the recliner.

…

"Meow? How is it?"

"You seem to be right. Why didn't I think of this before?"

Lu Yunkai looked at the Ravenclaw's crown in front of him and nodded seriously.

"Meow! Then what are you waiting for! Hurry..."

"What are you doing quickly?" Lu Yun rolled his eyes at Chris, "As you can see, the explosive corrosive potion has no effect on it, so it is probably immune to magic. I decided to bring it back to Dumbledore for a look before talking about it."

"Meow, that's a solution." Kris nodded.

"I really didn't expect... I actually have a Horcrux hidden in my house." Lu Yun sighed with a smile.

"This is the bond, meow!" Chrissy also shook her head, "Fortunately Voldemort doesn't know you have this thing."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if he knows... When you said that, I suddenly had a bold idea."

"Meow?"

"You said I gave this thing to Voldemort, what would he do with it?"

"I don't know how he will deal with the Horcrux. How he will deal with you is for sure. He will never let you have the chance to tell this secret to anyone alive." Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai speechlessly, "You are inflated. Meow."

"...I'm just saying that, why do you despise me so much? I'd better take it to Dumbledore later."

Lu Yun smiled coquettishly.

Um.

Want to threaten Voldemort?

Or do you want to use this thing as a fishhook to fish out his other Horcruxes?

Dumbledore might be able to do this, Lu Yunkai himself...

So unworthy!
