Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Today is really a good advertisement for you here!"

"...I really don't think so."

Fred looked at the young customers who were followed by his parents and left the store with a solemn expression.

"Why not? There are such big things happening outside, and my children are safe and sound in the store... This is much more cost-effective than spending money to advertise on the communication mirror." Lu Yunkai smiled and patted Fred on the shoulder. .

The two of them were sitting on the highest shelf of Weasley's Joke Shop, and George was checking the parents who came to pick up their children one by one at the door, and then sent them out of the store.

"But today's sales have been wiped out." Fred sighed, "In the next few days... I guess no one will dare to come to Diagon Alley."

"There's nothing we can do about it!!" Lu Yunkai also sighed softly.

He looked out the window.

Not far away in the air, a green skull was floating there, and a snake came out of the skull's open mouth.

The Dark Mark.

Obviously, Voldemort did not intend for anyone to have anything to do with the attack.

"Alas!!" Fred sighed again.

"Otherwise... you can open your store later. You don't have to pay back the money in a hurry." Lu Yunkai comforted Fred.

"That won't work." Fred refused, "There's nothing we say that doesn't count."

"It's not that what you said doesn't count, it's..."

"And it's not a matter of money." Fred shook his head, "The more times like this, the more people need to be happy."

Quiet.

Looking at the serious-looking young man from the Weasley family in front of him, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a trace of respect in his heart.

Originally, Lu Yunkai admired these two boys who made noises and caused trouble everywhere when they were in school, but he also admired them from the perspective of "businessmen".

Flexible mind, honest and trustworthy.

When they were in school, these two boys were always taking advantage of various opportunities to make money, but when they lost money (such as in the Triwizard Tournament and "Can the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor last until the end of the school year this year?" "When I lost my opening bet) I never defaulted on my debt.

But Lu Yunkai never thought that they were people worthy of admiration.

But what Fred said just now made Lu Yunkai suddenly feel...

The wizarding world is still worth saving.

"Then I'll go home first." Lu Yunkai patted Fred on the shoulder and stood up.

"Yeah. I think it should be safe outside now. Be careful on the road!"

Fred also stood up and escorted Lu Yunkai to the door of the store.

George had just sent another adult wizard to pick up his child with a smile. When he saw Lu Yunkai and Fred coming down, he also smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai.

"Be careful on the road."

"OK."

Lu Yunkai also patted George on the shoulder and walked out of the Weasley Joke Shop.

The sky is blue, with almost no clouds in the clear sky. Under the hot summer sun, everything should be bright and blazing.

But the Dark Mark floating in the air lowered the temperature of the entire Diagon Alley.

But when Lu Yun drove in, there were many more people on the empty street.

Without looking carefully, Lu Yunkai could guess that they were all employees of the Ministry of Magic.

It is not advisable to stay on the street for a long time.

Lu Yunkai walked directly back to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

"stop!"

Suddenly a voice called out to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was slightly startled, turned his head and looked at the person who called him.

A wizard who looked about forty or fifty years old.

He examined Lu Yunkai.

"What are you doing out on the street alone?"

"I just came here to buy supplies for school. When I was shopping at the Weasley Joke Shop, something happened outside." Lu Yunkai briefly explained the situation and shook the shopping list in his hand.

The notice from Hogwarts is still very recognizable.

The wizard glanced at the notice to confirm its authenticity.

"Did you come here by yourself? Where are your parents?"

"I'm in sixth grade this year, so it shouldn't be a problem to buy things by myself, right?" Lu Yunkai answered with a smile.

"Director, this child is Lu Yunkai, the champion of last year's Triwizard Tournament."

An Auror came to the wizard and explained.

Lu Yunkai glanced at the Auror and smiled slightly.

Nymphadora Tonks.

"Oh." After hearing what Tonks said, the wizard nodded, glanced at Lu Yunkai one more time, and turned around to leave.

Tonks also smiled at Lu Yun, then turned around and continued her work.

Lu Yunkai quickly quickened his pace and walked back to the Leaky Cauldron.

The hustle and bustle just now was gone in the bar.

The group of wizards who were drinking and chatting here just a few hours ago had already dispersed.

Tom was clearing the table slowly by himself. When he saw Lu Yunkai walking in, he smiled, but did not stop what he was doing.

"What just happened?"

Lu Yunkai approached and asked.

"Minister Scrimgeour just came to Diagon Alley and was attacked by the mysterious man's men." Tom said while wiping the table with a rag: "It's right at the entrance of Gringotts."

"...who did it?"

This must be the second time Lu Yunkai heard the name of the person who succeeded Fudge as Minister of Magic. The last time was in the news published by the Daily Prophet when he was in office.

The second time, it was on this occasion...

It has to be said that the new minister who took over after Fudge resigned has really no sense of existence.

"I heard it was Dolohov and Avery. The Aurors have gone after them both."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded and recalled the two names in his mind. He had seen Dolokhov before, but this was the first time he heard about the other one.

"You should go back early!" Tom sighed softly, "Go and tell Chrissy to stop running around recently."

"I haven't seen it in days."

Lu Yun smiled and shook his head.

After Chris and Lu Yunkai confirmed that there were no soul fragments on the crown that was now placed in the study room of Lu Yunkai's home, it seemed that it suddenly had an idea, and then ran away to an unknown place.

"You really don't worry about it!" Tom smiled helplessly and shook his head, "But you'd better be more careful."

"Yeah, I understand."

After Lu Yunkai thanked Tom seriously, Lu Yunkai returned home through the fireplace.

By chance, Irene, who was about to go back to her room to take a rest after finishing her work in the medicine field, walked through the lobby.

"Have you bought the things?" Irene asked Lu Yunkai with a smile, "Why did you stay here for so long?"

"Trapped in Diagon Alley." Lu Yunkai didn't have a smile on his face. "The Minister of Magic was attacked at the entrance of Gringotts. Diagon Alley was closed for a while."

"...The Minister of Magic was attacked??" A smile must have appeared on Erin's face.

"Yes." Lu Yunkai nodded, "The Death Eaters have become more and more arrogant. So you must be careful."

"I understand." Erin sighed softly.

"Also, today I went to the magic potion store. Boss Giggs told me that the sales of magic potions at his place have been relatively average recently, so he will temporarily reduce the number of herbal medicines purchased from me."

"Is that so?" Erin was stunned again, "Then..."

"It's okay, I'm just telling you, don't send herbal medicines before Christmas." Lu Yunkai looked at Irene getting more and more panicked, smiled and comforted, "Death Eaters are rampant outside now, magic medicine , especially how can the consumption of therapeutic drugs decrease? The demand will inevitably increase, okay! So if he doesn’t purchase it now, it doesn’t matter, we will just wait for him to wait for a while. Contact him and tell him that because he said the demand is not high recently, I asked you to reduce planting. "

"...What do you mean?" Eileen obviously didn't understand.

"We will raise the price when the time comes." Lu Yunkai explained simply.

"Are you sure that the demand for herbs will be up by Christmas?" Eileen thought carefully, "There are many herbs in the fields that are almost ready for harvest. I can think of ways to delay them... It’s not a big problem to postpone it until Christmas.”

"Just do it for Christmas!" Lu Yunkai said with a smile: "If it doesn't work, just give it away."

"...Huh?? Give it away? This is not a small amount of money!" Irene was shocked by Lu Yunkai's words, "It's tens of thousands of gold coins!!"

"To the Order of the Phoenix...well, the organization organized by Dumbledore to fight against Voldemort."

"...Okay." After hearing Lu Yunkai explain the recipient of the gift, Irene instantly had no objection.

Lu Yun smiled and then walked directly upstairs.

Just as he sat down, before he had a chance to drink a glass of water, Chrissy's figure appeared.

"Meow, where have you been?"

"Diagon Alley, I went shopping." Lu Yunkai simply explained, "What about you? Where have you been these past few days?"

"Malfoy Manor."

"Huh??" Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, "What were you doing there?"

"Look for Nagini!" Chris jumped onto the table at Lu Yunkai's side with a nonchalant expression.

"...What are you looking for her for?"

"Don't ask. It has nothing to do with you." Chrissy shook her head, "Meow, by the way, you went to Diagon Alley today, didn't you encounter any danger?"

"There is no... today's attack in Diagon Alley, you know?"

"I know!!"

"..."

"Meow, what are you doing!" Chris balled up into a ball and licked her fur, "What are you so nervous about?"

"That's the Minister of Magic!! Do you know why you didn't tell me..."

"The Minister of Magic is not a supporter of Dumbledore. A few days ago he was thinking of causing trouble with the magic mirror. Do you feel sorry for him?" Chrissy rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai.

"..."

"He can't die anyway, let him lie down in the hospital bed!" Chrissy said very naturally, "A Minister of Magic who can't move while lying down is much better than one who can run around looking for trouble. ”

"Is this Nagini's plan?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunkai had already grasped some clues.

"Yes." Chris nodded, "Voldemort has taken control of the Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement. He wants to arrange for someone to get rid of Scrimgeour and then arrange for the Director to take over the Ministry of Magic, and then comprehensively suppress the Order of the Phoenix. Gini took advantage of the situation and made a plan to ensure that the two fools who tried to take action could not succeed, but at least they could seriously injure the useless minister. "

"...Okay." Hearing what Chris said, Lu Yunkai could only nod his head, "But if this happens again in the future, you'd better tell me first."

"It's not good for you to know so much about these things. Instead, you worry in vain." Chris glanced at Lu Yunkai, "Besides, if Nagini is willing to do the dirty work herself, let her do it! You still have to work with her Stealing credit or something?”

"I should prepare myself! I was shocked in Diagon Alley today..."

"Don't worry, meow!" Chris shouted, "By the way, before I come back, Nagini asked me to tell you that you should contact Draco Malfoy in the next few days."

"Ah? Why?"

"Voldemort has assigned him a secret mission. Even Nagini doesn't know what it is. She wants you to try to ask."

"This...he doesn't trust me very much now!"

"Meow, it won't hurt if you try." Chris shook her head, "I've been at Malfoy Manor these days and found that Malfoy stayed at home every day and was in a very bad mood. If you talk to him, it will be very helpful. Maybe it’s a trick.”

"……All right."

Although Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed, he still agreed.

He reached out and took out the communication mirror from the space bag.

He hesitated.

Sent a message over.

"Are you OK?"
