Chapter 43 Summer Vacation
"Meow? Are you awake?"
Chrissy licked Lu Yunkai's face.
The unique barbs on the cat's tongue made Lu Yunkai wake up instantly.
"It hurts!" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, and then he realized that Blaise was still asleep on the bed next to him, and the time at the bedside was still four o'clock in the morning, "What are you doing! So early!"
"Meow, did you forget to pack your things?"
"...No, right? I don't have much at all! It seems like I have less because I bought a backpack with a space spell from the system yesterday." Lu Yunkai said, pointing to the backpack hanging on the bedside column, " Everything is inside and it’s very light to carry!”
"Meow! That's not what I'm talking about!" Chris shook her head, "I'm asking you about the notebook in the Room of Requirement. Are you going to throw it away at school?"
"Is there a safer place in England than the Room of Requirement?" Lu Yun laughed, "Why should I take it out?"
"If it was so safe, why didn't Dumbledore put the Sorcerer's Stone in and put it away?" Chris rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "What if someone discovers it during the summer vacation..."
"School is closed for summer vacation! Who can be there!"
"It's just that there are no students. I don't know about others, but Sybil has always lived in Hogwarts." Chris shook her head, "You'd better go get it, and then we'll go to Knockturn Alley to find a store to sell it. ”
"...Do you know what that thing is? Just take it and sell it!" Lu Yunkai then remembered that he seemed to have never told Chris what happened in the dungeon, and sighed softly, "That notebook ... Voldemort did it."
"Meow? Really? That can't be placed in Hogwarts!!" Chrissy was shocked when she heard this. "The mysterious man was also a student of Hogwarts! What if that notebook takes advantage of this?" If you do something in two months, it will be even more troublesome if it is found on you!"
"Okay! Okay! Just do what you want!" Lu Yunkai could only yawn and get up.
What Chris said seems to be right. When it comes to a being like Voldemort, you can never be too careful.
Although it had been almost a year since he last slipped out of the dormitory in the early hours of the morning, Lu Yunkai still skillfully bypassed Filch, the night watchman who was beginning to feel sleepy, and sneaked to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
He found the notebook with ease and put it in his pajamas. Lu Yunkai turned around and planned to go back to the dormitory directly.
"Meow! Wait a minute! Take that crown! That one can always be sold in Knockturn Alley..."
"Not even that! Do you know what that thing is?" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris, "That's Ravenclaw's diadem. For sale?? Anyone who dares to accept it is the enemy of the entire Ravenclaw Academy!"
"Meow? Is it the thing of the legendary founder of Ravenclaw Academy?"
"Correct answer." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Although I can also sell it to the system... but it's really not cost-effective. So I might as well leave it here for now! I'll wait until the billion in my system is spent before I try to do anything with it. Late."
"Meow? Why isn't it a good deal? Store it in your system as a balance first!"
"The price I paid for a crown in the system was 100 million gold galleons. This one can only be sold for 30 million, which is too cheap. There must be something wrong."
"Maybe it's because it's old?"
"The magic stone that has been used for six hundred years is only 10% off. The reagent bottle I picked up from Bojinbok is at its original price!!" Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Even half of my set was burned in the Charms class. Even old robes can be sold at 20% off. Even if this thing has a history of 1,500 years, it’s only 50% off at most, right?”
"But I remember that thing you made to take care of the child before, you only used it once, and you lost a thousand galleons."
"That thing is not worth the money at all. It was just for urgent use before, and I had to accept it if I was cheated. This is different! This is a limited edition thing! Without this system of mine, there would be only one like this in the whole world, and it would not add value. It’s a loss, let alone a depreciation.”
"Meow, forget it." After Lu Yunkai said this, Chris could only leave the Room of Requirement with Lu Yunkai obediently and sneaked back to the bedroom.
Blaise was still sleeping. Judging from the way he was mumbling and talking in his sleep, he must have had a good dream.
Lu Yunkai took out the notebook from his arms and wanted to stuff it into the magic space bag.
A magical thing happened. Whenever Lu Yunkai threw his notebook inside, it would pop out on its own, as if it was incompatible with the space bag.
"Meow? Why is this happening?" Chrissy on the side was also stunned.
"have no idea."
Lu Yunkai glanced at the notebook, put it on the bedside, lay down, and continued to sleep.

"Bye Harry, see you next term."
"goodbye."
Harry gave Lu Yunkai a big hug, then turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man who was waiting impatiently next to him.
Lu Yunkai also looked at the middle-aged man and walked over with a smile.
Although the middle-aged man looked fierce towards Harry, he actually seemed a little scared when he saw Lu Yunkai walking over with a kind face but murderous intent...
Even if I'm not short, you probably weigh more than two of me, right? Lu Yunkai complained silently in his heart, but still had that scary-looking smile on his face.
"This is Harry's Uncle Vernon, right? I've heard Harry mention you many times, and you are indeed as he said, a strong and reliable man." Lu Yunkai smiled and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"...You mentioned me?" Looking at Lu Yunkai, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, Vernon instantly felt that he was very pleasing to the eye and glanced at Harry.
Harry wanted to say something, but was secretly glared at by Lu Yunkai and lowered his head.
"He said that although you didn't seem to be very kind to him, you were able to take him in and protect him after his parents passed away. Although he was embarrassed to tell you directly, he was still very grateful."
"Yeah." Vernon glanced at Harry again and nodded.
"Of course, although he would say so after calming down, he sometimes can't keep his emotions under control." Lu Yunkai glanced at Harry, "Your love is hidden deep. If he can't control his emotions and causes some tragedy, he will regret it afterwards. As his friend, I will also feel sad for him."
"What do you mean?"
"We still learned a lot of magic this year." Lu Yunkai smiled, "This... I can only say so much."
"...Are you threatening me?" Vernon finally understood.
"Of course not! He has feelings for you and your family, but... I am also worried that if he can't control his emotions, it will be troublesome. Although the magic we learned is not fatal, it is also very painful..." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "Well, I can only say so much, goodbye."
"..."
Vernon looked at Lu Yunkai with a dark face, and finally didn't dare to get angry at him.
"Thank you." Harry whispered as he walked past Lu Yunkai.
Then he pulled the suitcase and left with his uncle.
Just before leaving Hogwarts, Hagrid gave Harry an album with photos of his parents, and reminded him that his uncle didn't know that minors were not allowed to use magic during the summer vacation. Maybe he could use this to trick his uncle and make him treat him better.
But Harry was worried that if his uncle forgot, his direct reminder would seem too deliberate.
This was heard by Lu Yunkai who was next to him at the time, so Lu Yunkai kept thinking about how to help Harry on the train.
After the train arrived, Lu Yunkai quickly said goodbye to Malfoy and went straight to find Harry who was not sitting with him on the train. He just caught up with this last moment and reminded Harry's uncle for him.
Although it seemed a bit nosy, Lu Yunkai always did things with a clear conscience. He felt that he should help Harry, so he helped.
After doing this, Lu Yunkai felt that he felt much more comfortable.
Chris also supported Lu Yunkai in doing this, but for a different reason...
"Meow! I think that Muggle is the most annoying one!"
Humming a song, he came to the bus station, exchanged the gold galleons for pounds in Gringotts, the wizard bank last summer, and took a bus to the Leaky Cauldron.
When Tom, the bar owner, saw Lu Yunkai coming in, he didn't say anything and took him directly to the room on the second floor.
But this time.
"It's the right amount! I can't always live here without spending money."
Lu Yunkai stopped the hunchbacked boss who was about to leave after taking him to the room, and said seriously.
Then, he stuffed a handful of gold galleons into Tom's hand.
"No need. I've heard that you're alone now and don't have much money. These few gold galleons are what Chris got from selling the things left by the boss. You should keep them for school expenses!" Tom smiled and shook his head. "The boss used to be very good to me. I can still help you with this little favor."
"I know, thank you very much. But I can pay you now, so I'll pay you!"
"...Afford it?"
"I made some money when I was in school." Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris, who had already jumped onto the bed and curled up to sleep.
"Making money? Oh, that's right. It's normal for someone who is valued by Chris to have some talent in making money." Tom smiled and took the gold galleons from Lu Yunkai.
Thirty, two months' rent, Lu Yunkai had already calculated it.
"If you have any questions, just come down and find me."
Tom smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai and left.
"Meow, I don't understand why you have to give him money, and he doesn't dare to ask you for it!"
"You didn't stop me!" Lu Yunkai sighed, came to the bed, lay down, and stretched, "The bed here is not as comfortable as the one in Hogwarts!"
"Most of the sponsors of Hogwarts are from Slytherin College. The accommodation conditions of Slytherin students are better. Is it strange?" Chris snorted, "I have been to Harry and Ron's dormitory. Although it looks similar to Slytherin's, the bed is much harder!!"
"Okay! There is such a saying!" Lu Yunkai laughed, "Okay! Then sleep here for one night and start preparing tomorrow."
"Prepare for what?"
"Prepare to go to Liverpool."
"Meow? What are you going there for?"
"To find my adoptive father... and the things I hid."
Lu Yunkai glanced out the window and closed his eyes.
"Meow, you idiot!"
"Why did you suddenly scold me?"
"Since you are going to Liverpool, why did you just pay Tom for two months' rent?"
Chris looked distressed.
