Hogwarts Kryptonian

But it turns out that Chris's worries were a bit unnecessary.

Even if Lu Yunkai didn't give orders to the big snake, it still inherited the snake's original nature.

They don't like people to begin with.

So I haven't seen any news about "a giant snake passing through the city" in the Muggle world.

This made Lu Yunkai, who was so distraught, finally feel a little better.

And when the giant snake finally arrived in the backyard of Lu Yunkai's house the next day, Lu Yunkai was not the only one to greet it.

"This snake is really weird!"

Looking at the giant snake coiled up and sleeping in the middle of a large piece of grass, Irene's expression was more excited than curious.

She came to work overtime voluntarily because she had nothing to do at home and couldn't find the interest to go somewhere to play (Lu Yunkai didn't intend to pay her overtime). After Lu Yunkai saw her when he got up early in the morning, he also Then I asked her if she knew how to let a snake live peacefully in this home...

As a top student with excellent NEWTS in both herbalism and conservation of magical biology, Irene confidently led Lu Yunkai to a ridge of herbs she had planted.

Lu Yunkai reached out and touched the leaves, and he knew that these herbs were called Cnidium...

Just because of this name, Lu Yunkai understood why Irene brought him here.

Now, this big snake, which has been traveling for two days, is coiled in the grass, sleeping peacefully.

"It won't affect the quality and price of this batch of grass because of this guy, right?" Lu Yunkai was worried about other issues.

"No! Although the Cnidium inhabited by snakes is useless, the Cnidium fruit it produces will have more attributes of snakes. It is a very good herbal medicine!" Irene said with all her treasures.

"Well, that's good." Lu Yunkai sighed.

"Where did you get this snake? I seem to have never seen a snake of this size that is actually venomous." Eileen continued her previous question.

"My classmate's family thinks it is a nuisance...is it poisonous?"

"Look, the leaves of the Cnidium over there have started to turn red. It's because there are highly venomous snakes nearby." Eileen pointed to a piece of grass. It should be an extremely powerful poison, or a particularly rare poison."

"... Herbology is really profound and profound!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "But it may be more than just a snake."

"Oh? Then what is it?"

"It's just...well, Chris thinks it might...be a person once." Lu Yunkai considered the words and said little by little.

"Once a human? Agmanis?? Impossible!" Irene shook her head, "Agymanis can't make the Cnidium turn red!"

"So I don't know either!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Yesterday afternoon I wanted to go to the Magic Zoo to ask the boss, but she went on a trip. I can only wait until summer vacation to ask her again."

"I'll go back and check it for you!" Erin thought for a while and said, "I haven't had anything to do recently anyway."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

…

After finishing the matters entrusted by Trelawney, Lu Yunkai had no other plans for his Christmas vacation.

The Ministry of Magic released a piece of news through the Daily Prophet that someone had sighted Sirius near the Czech Republic, which also made this holiday, which would have been somewhat clouded by escaped Death Eaters, become sunny.

It also made Lu Yunkai, who was still a little worried about Sirius's whereabouts, completely relieved.

The Czech Republic is still far away from the Balkan Peninsula. Even if the Ministry of Magic is very responsible and sends Aurors to trace it, it will not be found.

After Blake sent a message to Lu Yun that day, he also lost contact again. Thinking about it, even if Voldemort is to be found, it will be a long time later. Although he wanted to ask Hermione why she told the twin sisters about the secret room, Lu Yunkai did not directly ask the owl to deliver the message.

Some things must be explained clearly face to face. After all, he has extremely high expectations and expectations for Hermione...

Therefore, the snake became the only problem that Lu Yunkai needed to solve at the moment.

There is a soul but no consciousness. This strange state is almost exactly the same as Lu Yunkai's suspicion about Chris last year.

Although Chris didn’t really lose consciousness and memory at that time, this snake really did!

This made Lu Yunkai, who had studied many related topics last year, extremely enthusiastic about research.

Anyway, this snake's problem is not as urgent as Chris's problem last year, and even whether it is solved or not is not a big problem for Lu Yunkai: after the snake came to Lu Yunkai's house, it seemed to like it more than the twins' house.

Even after Lu Yunkai lifted the soul-stealing curse on it, it still stayed near the Cnidium every day.

And after learning that this snake could double the production value of Cnidium nidus, Lu Yunkai had no interest in driving it away. He just asked Xue Li to feed it something to eat every day! Well worth it!

Then study it slowly! !

Because he was not in a hurry, Lu Yunkai still had time to do other things even while reading and looking for relevant information.

After the Daily Prophet's report, Malfoy, who had been grounded for the summer, finally got his father's permission so that he would not have to sit at home for the entire Christmas holiday.

Then he fulfilled the promise he had arranged half a year ago.

He took Lu Yunkai to visit the potion master.

An old man who looks very old.

Lu Yunkai also brought a bottle of potion that he prepared himself to ask the master for review.

As for results and gains...

Anyway, Lu Yunkai didn't say anything about the master to Daphne or Chris after he came back.

Even Malfoy, who always liked to brag, remained tight-lipped after the incident, saying nothing about what exactly happened there in the correspondence between Goyle and Crabbe.

If there is the only clue to guess what happened there, it is that after returning from there, all the commonly used potions in the Malfoy family no longer spent a lot of money to ask the master to help make them, but instead asked Lu Yun to open them through Draco. Helped...

Ahem.

"That man is worse than Lu Yunkai!!"

This was what Draco said when he was angry at his father at home that night, feeling humiliated.

Of course, this is actually a bit bullying. The bottle of potion that Lu Yun opened and asked the master to evaluate was an explosive corrosive potion that had been put in his precious crystal bottle. It was already very good for the master to prepare a bottle on the spot. It’s not easy. As for the appearance, it’s not as good as Lu Yunkai’s… It’s not a crime of war!

Lu Yunkai's dissatisfaction with the master was not about the explosive corrosive potion, but when he was not making the potion, Lu Yunkai asked him which potions might be useful in dealing with the basilisk.

His original intention was to check and fill in the gaps in Snape's answer from the master, but this master was not even as good as Snape.

And Malfoy was not so angry originally. The main reason why he felt embarrassed was that after the master realized that the potion he prepared on the spot was not as good as Lu Yunkai's, he drove the two of them out of the house in anger...

But this is definitely a good thing for Lu Yunkai.

The Malfoy family spends at least 20,000 to 30,000 gold galleons on various daily potions every year. Although Lu Yunkai does not have the "Master" brand and the price is not as high as others, but 10,000 gold galleons are not enough. Yes, this amount of money is not a small amount.

What's more, after the Malfoy family took the lead, the Goyle and Crabbe families who were already very close to them seemed to have this idea...

Therefore, face issues such as being kicked out... do not exist!

As a thank you, Lu Yunkai also gave Malfoy's mother a copy of the beauty-boosting ointment with whitening and anti-aging effects that he had given to Irene before.

"Although my mother has that necklace and doesn't need this, she still wants to express her gratitude to you. She just hopes to buy some more from you to give to her friends. How much do you think is appropriate?"

The feeling of thanking Lu Yunkai for letting him show his face in front of his mother in Malfoy's message was so overwhelming...

Then Lu Yunkai was nagged by Daphne.

"You gave it to Mrs. Malfoy, but you didn't give one to my mother??"

"I've already left a copy at your house! It's just that you went to the other side of the ocean for vacation!" Lu Yunkai answered without any stumble.

"That's pretty much it."

Daphne nodded with satisfaction.

Then Lu Yunkai had no choice but to run to the deserted Greengrass Castle overnight and place a copy in the living room.

…

Just like that, the not-too-long Christmas vacation has come to an end.

After going back and searching for a long time, Irene couldn't find any way to explain the weirdness of this snake. She also promised Lu Yunkai that she would help him ask the owner of the Magic Zoo later, and she would tell him the result through the communication mirror.

However, Lu Yunkai felt that Aileen didn't seem to be in a hurry to help Lu Yunkai find the answer.

In addition to helping the snake bed grow more and more decent, the snake is also very helpful in the maintenance of certain herbs in the field that may attract mice. Now she is better than Xue Li when it comes to feeding the snake. Much more positive...

Also on the day before the end of the Christmas vacation, Daphne, who had been playing the role of Cowherd and Weaver Girl with Lu Yun for a while, finally returned to Greengrass Castle.

Then she kept asking Lu Yunkai to talk about how she and her sister followed her father to explore the ancient magical ruins he discovered during this holiday, and were almost attacked by a huge bird with four wings. Finally, they found the It looks like a ferocious big bird that can attract rain, snow, and even thunder and lightning wherever it flies, but it seems to be quite docile...

She looked like she was very satisfied with the holiday.

But in the words of Astoria, who was petting the snake and adding details of the story, "She definitely prefers to stay by your side and spend this holiday doing nothing."

Daphne didn't refute this.

"Of course, it would be better if you could take me with you."

So she said.

This made Lu Yunkai suddenly feel a little embarrassed if he didn't give Daphne any Christmas holiday surprises.

Fortunately, he does.

Lu Yunkai returned to his home after dragging Daphne and Astoria, who had to follow her no matter what, through the floo powder.

Regardless of Astoria's fuss about Lu Yunkai having such a house, he took Daphne to see the big snake that he had been studying for almost the entire Christmas vacation.

After this period of time, the big snake no longer had any hostility towards Lu Yunkai, and even rubbed Lu Yunkai's head with the snake's head. This made the golden python on his body so nervous that it almost strangled her since it came to this house. Astoria almost jumped up in envy.

Her golden python is even more afraid of this big snake than Chris...

Daphne straightened her back even more in front of her sister.

"You bastard snake, apart from being pretty, you are nothing but trash."

"...That snake is not yours, why are you so stubborn?"

"What Yunkai owns, isn't it mine?"

"……snort!"

On the train back to Hogwarts, the sisters' bickering made everyone else sitting next to them laugh.

Except for Brace.

He chose to look at the white snowy scene outside the window instead of seeing Lu Yunkai and Daphne showing off their affection there.
