Chapter 31 Forced Silence
Lu Yunkai saw a middle-aged man in his forties in the mirror.
And next to him stood an old couple in their sixties and seventies.
He was stunned. Those familiar faces made him almost unable to control his emotions for a moment.
"Lu Yunkai, I don't know what you saw, but... don't get excited, okay?"
Dumbledore interrupted Lu Yunkai's gaze at the mirror.
"...Ah! Ah! Sorry, Mr. Principal."
"I prefer people to call me professor." Dumbledore still had a warm smile on his face, "No matter what you see in it, I hope you understand that it is not real."
"Can we see what we have lost in this mirror?"
After hearing Dumbledore's words, Lu Yunkai looked back at the mirror and was much calmer.
"Or what we haven't got." Dumbledore also looked at the mirror.
"... So, is it the most precious to us?" Lu Yunkai probably understood.
He also understood what Chris said to him, that this mirror is very interesting.
Indeed, it is very interesting.
"Yes. It will show your deepest desires." Dumbledore nodded, "But it's just a display, and it has no other meaning."
"Did Harry see his parents in the mirror?"
"It seems that you and Harry are really good friends."
"Otherwise, I don't know what else can make him fascinated by this mirror." Lu Yunkai looked at the mirror for a while, then turned his head to look at Dumbledore, "Professor, can I leave then?"
"You won't look at it anymore?" Dumbledore was a little surprised.
"No, I will be reluctant to look at it if I look at it too much."
"Yeah." Dumbledore nodded, "Severus is right, you really don't look like an eleven-year-old boy."
"Professor Snape is praising me, right?" Lu Yunkai smiled awkwardly.
He couldn't help but glance at the mirror.
The middle-aged self in it was smiling and nodding at Lu Yunkai, and he was a little dazed.
His deepest wish was to return to his previous life?
Is this mirror not very accurate? !
"Not only Professor Snape, but Professor McGonagall also praised you in front of me." Dumbledore nodded, "She said that your tenacity and courage are more suitable for Gryffindor than Slytherin."
"Slytherin can also have tenacious character and outstanding courage. It has nothing to do with the college." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Compared to over-emphasizing bravery and abandoning wisdom and strategy, I think I am more suitable for Slytherin."
"Well." Dumbledore did not comment on Lu Yunkai's statement, "I also want to remind you that it is good to persist in doing things, but being too stubborn will put you in a bad mental state."
"I understand." Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris, "I believe I can stay away from the dark magic."
"Oh?" Dumbledore was a little surprised. Lu Yunkai's words were too direct.
"You are obviously a little worried about me." Lu Yunkai looked at the mirror again, and then looked at Dumbledore, "Otherwise, I don't think the headmaster of Hogwarts would keep trying to use Legilimency on students, right?"
"Well, you are right, I apologize for my behavior." Dumbledore nodded, "But I hope you believe that I want to know other things, not worry about your involvement with the dark magic. After all, Chris is your pet."
"Meow! Of course!" Chris howled at Dumbledore.
"What are you curious about me?" Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris and decided to talk openly.
This was his first close contact with the headmaster of Hogwarts, but inexplicably, he felt that the elder in front of him was kind, upright, and trustworthy.
Although he also vaguely felt that the headmaster seemed to dislike him.
Oh, maybe not just dislike, but disgust.
But Lu Yunkai really didn't know what he had done to make this so-called greatest magician of the contemporary era hate him.
"I'm just curious about what made you insist on learning brain occlusion. Do you know a lot of secrets?"
"A lot. Some of them may cost me my life." Lu Yunkai looked at himself in the mirror, avoiding Dumbledore's eyes, "For example, I know that the three-headed dog at the corner of the third floor is guarding valuables, I know that Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell seem to be unhappy about something, and I know more secrets of Professor Quirrell... Well, Professor Quirrell's secret is a very serious accusation, so..."
"You do know a lot of things." Dumbledore nodded, "But Professor Quirrell is also a pitiful person, and he did a lot of things..."
"Meow! He actually drank unicorn blood, this kind of thing is absolutely, unforgivable!!" Chris shouted firmly.
"Chris can't tolerate Professor Quirrell drinking unicorn blood." Lu Yunkai conveyed a sentence.
"Unicorn blood?" Dumbledore was stunned.
"It seems that you don't know yet!" Lu Yunkai laughed, "Then you don't know that he has a face behind his head?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
For a long time.
"I understand why you practice Occlumency. You know too many secrets. I'm afraid you haven't told me more than a third of them, have you?"
"I can't help it. I have a pet that likes to pry into people's minds!" Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Chris.
"Meow! Aren't you curious?"
"Have you told anyone what you just told me?" Dumbledore continued to ask.
"... Professor, what you said makes me think you want to silence me." The smile on Lu Yunkai's face disappeared.
"Of course not. It's just that what you know involves too much. In particular, you are very familiar with Harry and his two friends."
"Is Professor Quirrell related to Voldemort?" Lu Yunkai's mind flashed with inspiration and thought of this name.
If he doesn't want Harry to know, then it can only be related to the guy who killed his parents!
Thinking of this, Quirrell called the face behind his head his master! Could that face be...
But Dumbledore did not answer Lu Yunkai.
"I'm sorry, I have to cast a spell on you to ensure that you don't say anything about Professor Quirrell."
After speaking, Dumbledore drew out his wand and released a spell on Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai seemed to have a vague understanding, as if he absolutely did not want to tell anyone about Professor Quirrell. Even as long as he thought about mentioning Quirrell, Lu Yunkai felt that his brain was a mess.
Lu Yunkai didn't like this feeling of being controlled.
"Professor, can I leave now?" Lu Yunkai asked Dumbledore again.
"Of course you can." Dumbledore nodded, "I can only apologize to you now. I will give you an explanation after the matter is over."
"Don't dare. Don't dare." Lu Yunkai shook his head and fled the room.
In one breath, he rushed back to the dormitory.
"It's all your fault!! You insisted that I look in the mirror, okay! Dumbledore is watching me!"
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Lu Yunkai's complaints about Chris burst out.
"Meow! It's not me who asked you to tell others about Quirrell!"
"Forget it." Lu Yunkai sighed and sat down on the bed. From the corner of his eye, he saw a beautifully packaged box on the bed.
It should be a Christmas gift brought to him by Blaise.
After opening the box, there was a set of beautifully crafted potion tools.
I have to say, this is a very thoughtful gift. Blaise must have told his mother that he was very interested in potions, so she found a way to get such a set of things.
And although the system's valuation of this thing is not high, his mother must have spent a lot of money to buy it.
This also calmed Lu Yunkai's irritability because of Dumbledore.
"Being a good person will always be rewarded." Lu Yunkai picked up the crucible with intricate and mysterious patterns and looked at it carefully.
"But don't lose yourself, meow." Chris was a little disapproving.
"You are the one who is nosy, not me."
"Meow, can you not mention Quirrell anymore?"
"..."
"Okay! Then don't worry about this matter, I will follow up." Chris sighed,
"I think you should also leave it alone. Just leave it to the wizard who is known as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era!" Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth fiercely, "I will just be my good student."
"The greatest? Is he worthy? I know more about Dumbledore's dark history than you think." Chris complained.
"No more." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I plan to find Snape to practice brain occlusion again, you can move around freely."
"Meow? Didn't Snape say that you don't need to find him today?"
"Maybe not." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "But there is something I want to confirm."
"What?"
"I will tell you naturally after I confirm it."
Lu Yunkai stood up and walked out of the dormitory.
"Meow, so mysterious." Chris muttered, and followed Lu Yunkai out of the dormitory.
