Hogwarts Kryptonian

"...Perhaps he felt that several of his Horcruxes were destroyed?"

Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and put forward his hypothesis.

Having just heard the news in the Leaky Cauldron that Voldemort wanted to challenge Dumbledore for a duel, Lu Yunkai immediately speculated on various conspiracies, but did not think at all in the direction Dumbledore said.

Now that Dumbledore said this, it seems more reasonable!

"Maybe." Dumbledore nodded, "So, my fight actually has no meaning to us. Those who should oppose him will still do so even if I die. But those who obey now The people he ordered would give up on him immediately if he died... and I was gambling..."

"Why, you can still refuse his duel?" Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Beliefs collapse very quickly. If you can't show the courage to fight against him..."

"Of course I understand." Dumbledore smiled, "You are a smart boy, how come you still don't understand after I have said so much?"

"...I really don't understand." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "What I don't even understand is why you are telling me this."

"Because you are the only person I know who might choose to join Voldemort after my defeat." Dumbledore said with a smile, "And you are second only to Harry in importance to defeating Voldemort. Of course I can't watch you become his helper."

"...Bah, even if I wanted to, Chris wouldn't allow it." Lu Yunkai glared at Dumbledore.

"Not necessarily." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head. "The fact that you contacted me proves that my guess is correct. Because you are afraid and worried. So you will definitely want to make two preparations. For example, if I fail, you will What should you do? How can you protect yourself, Miss Greengrass...and even Miss Hill who is working for you now."

"..."

Lu Yunkai took a deep breath.

really.

In fact, just before contacting Dumbledore, Lu Yunkai had secretly begun to plan his way out in his mind if Dumbledore was defeated and killed.

Surrender to Voldemort? Be his heir? Then how to bargain with him to save the lives of the Muggle-born wizards he knew...

Lu Yunkai was even thinking about what he would do if Voldemort entrusted him with the task of moving forward with the abolition of the International Secrecy Act in the future!

"This is not shameful. On the contrary, this is the most valuable thing about you. Being calm and smart enough, and not minding being temporarily aggrieved in order to achieve the goal, these are very important qualities for us to defeat Voldemort." Deng Bullido looked at Lu Yunkai's somewhat ashamed expression and smiled to comfort him, "So, I will tell you that even if I could, I would not defeat Voldemort. I would give him the advantage, but he would not be able to kill me. And to do this... I don't actually need to lift the curse."

"Then wouldn't it be better if you just beat him?"

"Actually, I really don't have the confidence to defeat Tom! Although he has embarked on the wrong path, it is undeniable that he is indeed the most talented student I have taught over the years... Well, if you are not divination this time If I only got an E in the exam, maybe I would add one or two words, but unfortunately, there is no one now. "

"..." Lu Yunkai felt a tightness in his chest.

What the hell, yesterday Malfoy said it was disgusting for Lu Yunkai to show off his OWLS results, but today Lu Yunkai was punished.

"Tom's magic talent is indeed too high. If I were fifty years younger, maybe I would still have a chance to try. Now...I'm really old." Dumbledore shook his head, "So, defeat him. Even the matter of killing him is left to you young people! As long as I don't get defeated or even killed on the spot, I've done my job."

"……Fine."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Lu Yunkai didn't know what else to say and could only nod.

"When you contacted me, did you think of someone who could help me lift the curse?" Dumbledore saw that Lu Yunkai understood his good intentions and changed the subject.

"Um."

"Who? My brother? My relationship with him is actually not very good..."

"Grindelwald."

"..."

Dumbledore interrupts the mirror's communication.

Lu Yunkai finally used a very vulgar trick to recover a little bit of the shame of being mentioned by Dumbledore, but his mood was really not good.

Putting down the mirror, Lu Yunkai lay on the chair, speechless for a moment.

Chris, who heard the entire conversation next to her, remained silent, closed her eyes, and seemed to be sleeping.

Only the sound of the waves lapping on the rocks not far away brought by the wind seemed so noisy on this summer afternoon.

Lu Yunkai understood what Dumbledore said.

And after figuring out Dumbledore's logic, Lu Yunkai even felt that this was better than having Dumbledore come forward to kill Voldemort himself.

And this actually has a sad reason: it turns out that not only Lu Yunkai, but also Dumbledore, the banner of resistance to Voldemort, seems to be thinking about whether the magical world he worked hard for is worth it.

It stands to reason that the number of Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix is ​​about the same, and they are all staunch enemies of each other, but other than that? Those staff members working at the Ministry of Magic, those men and women chatting about the upcoming duel in the Leaky Cauldron, what on earth are they?

Just the object of Voldemort and Dumbledore's struggle?

If they are of no use, what to do to win them over?

Those who oppose Voldemort must not only realize that they are not "acceptable even with Voldemort", but they must also understand that when Dumbledore cannot protect them from the wind and rain, they can only stand up and do what needs to be done. , can make this world a better place.

Dumbledore may have a positive attitude towards this, so he hinted to Lu Yunkai that he would agree to this duel and would lose, but he would not die. And after more other people realize this, they will bravely stand up and actively fight against Voldemort.

But it is undeniable that Dumbledore was actually gambling.

If Dumbledore had 60% confidence in what he said, he would definitely come to Lu Yunkai to help lift the curse and use his full power to challenge and defeat Voldemort.

After all, victory is always more inspiring than mourning. Wouldn't it be better to defeat the opponent directly from the front with absolute power?

In fact, Dumbledore wasn't sure either! Are the wizards he hopes to protect worth risking his life to protect? If it's not worth it... let the wizards make their own choices!

Sitting there, looking at the sea in front of him, Lu Yunkai suddenly realized, had Voldemort never thought of what Dumbledore said? He seemed to be slowly falling into a desperate situation and had to gamble, but didn't Dumbledore also have to gamble?

If the only advantage Dumbledore has is that Voldemort cannot be at a disadvantage in this duel, while Dumbledore is relatively relaxed.

But... no one is much better than anyone else! !

With another long sigh, Lu Yunkai picked up the communication mirror again.

Forget it, even Dumbledore wasn't sure whether the magical world was worth it, so what did he have to worry about?

Soldiers come to cover up the water and earth! Now, it is better to manage your friends and relatives first.

For example, Daphne...

"Are you finally willing to talk to me?"

Daphne's angry voice appeared on the communication mirror along with her face.

Of course, there is also the deep worry.

"Don't worry, it was Voldemort who challenged Dumbledore and it has nothing to do with me."

"You said it doesn't matter! Look at what you look like now!"

…

Voldemort issued a challenge to Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic. This matter spread throughout the wizarding world almost immediately. This time, the Ministry of Magic had no ability to prevent the spread of this news that seriously challenged the authority of the Ministry of Magic. .

On the one hand, the huge Dark Mark has been floating near the Ministry of Magic for most of the day, and they can't get rid of it at all. On the other hand, the communication mirror is really uncontrollable...

So the next morning's Daily Prophet no longer covered up the matter or reported it as explosive news on the front page, but directly came up with a "follow-up report."

"Dumbledore expressed his willingness to fight the mysterious man for the sake of the wizarding world"

The picture of Dumbledore holding a wand in front of him and casting spells printed on the front page of the Prophet, along with this title, set the entire wizarding world on fire.

Everyone started discussing this battle.

Where to do it, how to do it, who wins and who loses...etc.

So throughout the first half of August, almost no wizard was not discussing this matter.

Of course, this includes Lu Yunkai.

And it seemed that neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort wanted to let this matter drag on any longer.

So, when the time came to mid-August, an issue of the Daily Prophet reported the final conclusion of the matter.

It was probably the smallest issue of the Daily Prophet ever written.

In addition to the Daily Prophet's letterhead and date, this day's newspaper contained only a few words.

tomorrow. Azkaban.

…

"Meow!! Hurry up!! Keep up!!"

"...Can you please slow down! This is my first time in this terrible place!"

"I told you not to come! You have to come! Do you think Azkaban is some fun attraction, meow??"

"...Keep your voice down!! Someone is there!!"

Lu Yunkai covered the cat's mouth.

A wizard's figure flashed in front of Lu Yunkai, and then walked forward.

Lu Yunkai held his breath for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This broken cloak is really a trap." Lu Yunkai muttered, holding the invisibility cloak with both hands, and continued to move forward.

In the north of England, far away in the sea, there is an isolated island. There are always lightning, thunder and violent storms near here. Generally speaking, wizards and Muggles rarely think of visiting this place.

Here is the most notorious prison in the wizarding world, Azkaban.

Under the leadership of Chris, Lu Yunkai, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, flew on a flying broom for a long time before arriving at the outskirts of the island. He finally escaped the patrolling dementors and arrived at the island.

On one side of the island, there is a huge prison. It is so dark that you can't even see a trace of light from the outside. On the other side of the island, there is a little flat land. According to Chris, this is Ministry of Magic personnel escorted the prisoners to Azkaban where the dementors were guarded.

Lu Yunkai is now waiting at the edge of this flat land.

And with the sudden appearance of a person whom Lu Yunkai didn't know, this flat land that was so quiet just now suddenly became lively.

The sound of apparition was heard one after another, and within a short time, there were seventeen or eight people in this place.

After this group of people arrived, they didn't waste a moment and started working immediately. More than a dozen protective spells were cast on the vague protective shield outside Azkaban Prison, which seemed to be strengthening the protection.

"Meow, is it useful? If Voldemort wins today, the first thing he will do is to release all the prisoners in Azkaban. Can these people stop him?" Kris squatted on Lu Yunkai's shoulder He whispered something in a low voice.

"Do your best to ensure Tianming's destiny." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Meow, how have you considered what I told you?"

"...Forget it! Although most of the Azka class are serious criminals, not everyone deserves to die." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"But he will be imprisoned in Azkaban, even if he dies, he will not be unjust." Chris shook her head, "Give it to me! Hurry! In less than two hours, the duel will begin. Before that I have to be ready."

"Otherwise, let's forget it..."

"Meow!! Do you know how much damage will be caused after the villains locked here are released by Voldemort?" Chris was a little anxious, "You will pity them then, and you will pity the innocent wizards outside. Are you with Muggles? If someone here is targeting Daphne, will you have any regret medicine in your system? "

"..."

"Meow, stop inking! Hurry up!!" Chris slapped Lu Yun in annoyance.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly, took out a large bag of skyfire potion from the system, and handed it to Chrissy.

"Be careful. Don't blow up Azkaban before you do it. You'll have to pay for it first."

"Meow! No! No way!!" Chris looked at the huge backpack that was more than three times its size and became more and more excited. "One hundred and thirty bottles, is that enough?"

"I have prepared one hundred and fifty bottles for you..."

"Meow!! You actually want to see Azkaban bombed more than I do!" Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "I'm leaving."

"Be careful!!"

"Meow! I know!! That's so annoying!!"

Chris opened her mouth and took the strap of the backpack Lu Yunkai had given her. Dragging the huge backpack, she disappeared behind the protective wall being reinforced by wizards from the Ministry of Magic in a few flashes.

Lu Yunkai shook his head gently, and then moved further away.

At this moment, a dozen black lights suddenly flashed across the sky.

Voldemort appeared with his attendants.

Lu Yunkai's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Isn't it still a long time before the agreed duel time? That arrives so fast? ?

Kris can’t make it in time! ?

Alas, if I had known better, I shouldn’t have done the ink!

Lu Yunkai regretted slightly.
