Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Brother-in-law!! You pay my money!!"

"I didn't ask you to gamble!"

"If it weren't for your greed for that broken dragon, I would have earned ten galleons! You pay me!!"

"What does this have to do with dragons! Didn't Dumbledore say that the points were deducted because I destroyed the venue..."

"I don't care!! I trust you so much, and you betrayed my trust! Pay me back!!"

"So! Cherish life and stay away from gambling. You will lose nine times out of ten!"

Lu Yunkai snorted, holding the golden egg in his hand and looking at it.

The time has arrived for the second day of the first round of the Triwizard Tournament.

The game the day before was nothing short of exciting. Whether it was Krum using blinding tactics to snatch the dragon egg, or Fleur charming the dragon with her dance, or even more handsome, Harry riding a broomstick used his speed to get rid of the chasing dragon and win the game almost perfectly. Success has become the talk of the town.

However, there are clearly four contestants in this competition, but one of them seems to have no name.

The guy who was deliberately forgotten by everyone clearly got the second place in the total score.

Even when Lu Yunkai returned to the lounge last night, he found that not a single Slytherin showed curiosity about the golden egg in his arms.

It wasn't until a whole day later that someone finally came to talk to him, and the content was actually about debt collection.

He was very upset.

Don't you all want to congratulate me? That's a dragon! !

Harry told me today that he was carried around like a hero by a group of people in the lounge last night!

"Brother-in-law~~~" Seeing Lu Yunkai's attitude of refusing to give money no matter what, Astoria decided to use her trump card.

behave in a spoiled manner.

"By the way, what mechanism do you think this golden egg has?"

"I'll help you find a mechanism, and you'll pay off my sister's debt for me?" Astoria bargained.

"One code equals one code. You and your sister's debts should be settled by yourself." Lu Yunkai shook his head firmly.

Well, during lunch today, Daphne warned him sternly that Lu Yunkai was not allowed to interfere with Astoria asking her to borrow money to place bets this time.

Although my sister-in-law is cute, my wife must listen to her words even more.

"Hmph!!" Astoria kicked Lu Yunkai hard and left.

Lu Yunkai gently rubbed his legs, then looked around.

In fact, it cannot be said that the people in the lounge are deliberately ignoring him, because it is obvious that both men and women in the lounge are secretly looking at Lu Yunkai, but no one comes up to talk to him...

Alas, was it really because my performance yesterday when the dragon's body was being recovered after the game was not noble enough, that I lost Slytherin?

You guys! ! Can face be used as food? Do you know how much a whole dragon carcass is worth? ?

childish!

"Open the egg and take a look! Isn't there a seam on it?"

Finally, another person spoke to Lu Yunkai.

"I opened it last night...it was very noisy."

"Noisy?" The Slytherin who spoke had a curious look on his face.

And the questions and answers between the two people also made more people come to Lu Yunkai's side.

This is right! ! I don't believe you are not interested in this stuff!

"Well, it's very, very, very noisy." Lu Yunkai nodded, "My roommate almost broke up with me because I opened this thing in the dormitory last night."

This is not an exaggeration, Blaise really said that last night.

"Shall we listen?"

Finally, another person spoke to him.

"...Cover your ears." Lu Yunkai said loudly to the people around him.

Then everyone in the lounge covered their ears...

These arrogant people! ! They are obviously very curious, but they just don’t come to talk to me! !

Lu Yun cursed, then took a deep breath, and opened the egg along the cracks on the golden egg, like a flower.

An extremely sharp and harsh sound came from inside the egg.

The sound seems to be able to penetrate people's hands and reach directly into their minds...

"stop!!!"

The people in the lounge shouted almost in unison.

The golden egg closed and the sound disappeared.

Silence returned to the lounge. It's just that the current atmosphere is extremely weird.

"This egg...wasn't it broken by you?"

Malfoy, who had been watching the excitement but said nothing, finally came to talk to Lu Yunkai.

He was probably the one who felt most embarrassed about Lu Yunkai yesterday.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it's purely because of embarrassment or whether it's mixed with a little bit of envy and jealousy.

"Probably not. The protective magic on this is quite strong." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

Just this broken egg can be sold in the system for thousands of gold galleons! It’s more prize money than the Triwizard Tournament!

"Then I don't know. This may be your mission!" Now that he had started talking to Lu Yunkai, Malfoy put down his reserve, "Can you find someone else to inquire?"

"There's no rush. Anyway, the next project is in February next year, which is still three months away!" Lu Yun smiled and said, "Let's think about it slowly!"

"Um……"

…

Time just kept running at the end of November.

In the lounge, Lu Yunkai worked hard to repair his image of being greedy for money in the minds of everyone in Slytherin (meow, there is nothing easy to repair, and it is not embarrassing. Chris said), and in school, when everyone thought about him After the shock of actually robbing a dragon corpse in front of all the principals and Ministry of Magic officials, the students who slowly came back to their senses finally realized that Lu Yunkai succeeded in talking and laughing in front of them. Killed a dragon...

Theoretically speaking, this is much more handsome than Harry being chased around the world by a dragon and finally getting rid of it, right?

Even Cedric Diggory had to stand up and admit that he wouldn't be able to kill the dragon if he were asked to compete. Lu Yunkai's performance is indeed worthy of being a Hogwarts warrior. As for money and stuff...

You participated in a competition where the total prize money was "only" a thousand gold galleons, and you spent tens of thousands in materials fees in the first round. You would also be thinking about finding a place to make up for the shortfall, right?

It has to be said that Cedric's free and easy attitude of putting the overall situation first at this time made Lu Yunkai feel a lot more respect and admiration for this senior who didn't know how to take care of the audience before. And it was precisely because Cedric, who had been so popular before, came out and said such words that the pressure on Lu Yunkai was relieved a lot.

Therefore, as time came to December and the first Hogsmeade weekend arrived after Hogwarts welcomed guests, Lu Yunkai's situation in the school was already the same as what he had been in the first two days after the game. The situation of the dog being abandoned by the cat is completely different.

At least, it's back to normal.

As it was the first weekend away from school after the arrival of foreign guests, not many students chose to leave school to go to Hogsmeade. Lu Yunkai and Daphne were also part of the people who chose to stay in school.

Because they have more important things to do: practice dancing.

A week before Hogsmeade weekend, Professor McGonagall told them that there was a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, the Yule Ball.

Although it is not necessary to participate (but when McGonagall said this in the classroom, it seemed that she did not mean to allow students not to participate), but I still hope that the students of Hogwarts can show Hog in this dance. Watts style.

After all, compared to a competitive match, the Triwizard Tournament is actually more of a communication activity between European and British magic schools, and there seems to be no more elegant way of communication in the tradition of dancing together...

Especially the two warriors representing Hogwarts, Harry and Lu Yunkai.

But the problem is that when it comes to dancing, in addition to proficiency, sometimes it also depends on talent.

Harry, for example, has no talent.

As one of the warriors, he was the well-deserved protagonist at this dance. In addition, Harry was originally a Gryffindor. McGonagall was very concerned about this precious student of hers, but his dancing level... was really... It’s hard to describe in one word.

But Lu Yunkai himself wasn't much better.

If there is one thing he is better than Harry, it is that he has a good dance partner...

Well, a very important part of the Christmas ball is to invite a dance partner to participate. After class, Harry even went to Lu Yunkai to complain, saying that he didn’t know who to invite to the ball (Lu Yunkai glanced at He who was standing next to him during the conversation) Min, sighing silently), and Lu Yunkai seemed to have no choice...

And there’s nothing to choose from! Because Daphne dances so well.

It may be that she has been practicing since she was a child (Lu Yunkai still remembers the etiquette classes that Daphne’s mother arranged for her every holiday, and dance was an integral part of it). When Daphne dances, no matter the steps or the expression, she is calm and elegant, like It's like a beautiful swan.

And Lu Yunkai next to her was as stupid as an ugly duckling...

So this Hogsmeade weekend, like many Hogwarts students who were determined to perform well at the dance (including the likes of Blaise and Malfoy), Lu Yunkai also chose to stay in school and practice dancing.

Astoria, who was still under age and had no way of leaving school, became a teaching assistant.

Even Lu Yunkai felt that maybe because Astoria had longer legs and a slimmer figure, she danced better than her sister... ahem.

"Stop!! Brother-in-law! What are you doing! I told you, left foot first, then right foot! Why are you so stupid? My sister's feet will be swollen by your step!"

Astoria stopped the magic-driven instrument in her hand and clapped her hands impatiently.

Lu Yunkai had an apologetic expression on his face.

Daphne in his arms didn't even open her mouth to reprimand her sister for speaking rudely to Lu Yunkai, because her feet really hurt...

"Stop for a moment! Daphne, let me look at your feet..." Lu Yunkai helped his dance partner sit on the chair next to him, and then squatted down.

"Yeah! No need!!" Daphne blushed and took her foot back from Lu Yunkai's hand, "I just need to take a rest..."

"Brother-in-law, you are so stupid!!" Astoria continued to scold from the side.

Lu Yunkai ignored her.

Ever since she bought Lu Yun Kai and won, but owed Daphne ten gold galleons, this girl had been holding back and wanted to find an opportunity to scold him. Today she got the chance. It would be strange if she didn't scold him enough.

"Would you like some medicine?" Lu Yunkai continued to ask Daphne.

"It's not that serious...that's okay." Daphne hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

"Sister? Do you want to go see Madam Pomfrey? Your injury is never a small matter..."

"Shut up!!" Daphne glared at Astoria.

"...Never? Were you often injured before?" Lu Yunkai was stunned.

He had never heard Daphne talk about it.

"When she was a child... well, you ask her yourself." Astoria was timid.

Daphne's eyes were still as scary as ever.

"It's okay, don't listen to her nonsense."

"...Let's go and see Madam Pomfrey."

"You really don't have to...ah! Lu Yunkai! Put me down!!" Daphne shyly patted Lu Yunkai on the back.

But it's not very strong.

It wasn't a bad feeling for Lu Yunkai to just carry her on his back without saying a word...

"Will you go back to the lounge first?" Lu Yunkai looked at Astoria.

"Let's go together! I'm worried about her too." Astoria shook her head, and then ran in front of Lu Yunkai.
