Chapter 55 Brother-in-Law
"Yunkai? What are you busy with?"
A girl dressed neatly and decently, with a beautiful blue-purple bell-shaped hairpin on her long golden hair, knocked on the door of Lu Yunkai's room. The blush on her face showed her shyness at the moment.
Behind her, a girl who looked 70% similar to her and a little taller than her was sticking her head out to look at Lu Yunkai.
"Daphne? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to buy things for the second grade!" Daphne's face was still slightly red, "Didn't you write to me yesterday and ask me to come to you when I come to Diagon Alley?"
"I wrote to you yesterday... Oh! I forgot!" Lu Yunkai nodded with a frown on his forehead.
He looked back at the room.
I didn't know where Chris had gone.
Although Lu Yunkai still liked Daphne very much, he still couldn't do such a thing as writing to Daphne and asking her to go out and play together.
The unknown letter that Daphne received was definitely written by Chris’s cat!
Ever since Lu Yunkai visited the Malfoys some time ago and brought back the news that Lucius was hesitant because he was worried about his son, Chris seemed to be obsessed with letting Lu Yunkai settle down as soon as possible.
“Meow. With a home, you will naturally be more cautious when doing things, and you will not be led astray by the dark magic.”
Chris said.
Although Lu Yunkai agreed with Chris’s point of view, he was not in a hurry about this matter.
He was actually only twelve years old! !
This cat! How did it write to Daphne? Could those public communication owls understand Chris’ words? ?
“This is my sister, Astoria. I will bring her to Diagon Alley today.”
Daphne pointed to the little girl who was hiding behind her and poked her head out to look at Lu Yunkai.
Lu Yunkai took a look at Daphne's sister and felt that she didn't look particularly like Daphne.
"Is she going to Hogwarts this year? Did she go to Borgin and Burke to pick things?"
"She can only go next year. But I don't think she has magical talent, so Hogwarts won't want her." Daphne couldn't help but complain when she talked about her sister.
"Sister, I just met my brother-in-law for the first time and you said bad things about me in front of him. What if he has a prejudice against me in the future?" The girl behind Daphne was disdainful. She walked around Daphne and stretched out her hand to Lu Yunkai, "Brother-in-law, I've heard about your story for a year, and finally we meet!"
"Brother-in-law..."
Lu Yunkai looked at the girl and didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Damn girl! How can you talk like that! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!!" Daphne jumped up when she heard Astoria address Lu Yunkai.
"Oh! Didn't mom tell you! If you meet someone you like, you must seize the opportunity!" Astoria smiled and glanced at Daphne, whose face turned red like the sunset.
"I think you are asking for a fight!"
Daphne raised her arm to hit Astoria, but Astoria seemed to have guessed Daphne's reaction long ago, and she dodged behind Lu Yunkai with a flexible move.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
Lu Yunkai rubbed his head with a headache.
This girl named Astoria is no less worrying than Chris! !
"... Ahem, your name is Astoria, right?" Lu Yunkai turned his head with an embarrassed look and said to the girl: "Don't tease your sister like that, she and I are just friends..."
"Just friends? Sister, did you hear that? If you don't work hard, you will really miss it!" Astoria was still making fun of Daphne.
Daphne glared at Astoria and decided to ignore her.
"Yunkai, has your owl arrived?"
"Oh, it arrived the day before yesterday."
"Have you bought the things?"
"Yesterday, Blaise's mother bought everything for me when she took him shopping." Lu Yunkai nodded.
His mind recalled the strange expression on Blaise's face when he came to give him something last night.
He didn't know why his mother warned Lu Yunkai, such a good black boy, so seriously: I treat you as a friend, don't try to hit on my mother, otherwise I will be very sad the day you die...
Well, Lu Yunkai swore that he definitely didn't have this idea. Instead of provoking that kind of poisonous rose with thorns, Lu Yunkai would rather deal with little white rabbits like Daphne...
"Oh." Daphne was obviously disappointed when she heard Lu Yunkai's words.
"What if you bought it! You can also let your brother-in-law take you to buy it!" Astoria continued.
"...Is it okay?" Although Daphne didn't intend to answer her sister's words, she still followed her words and asked Lu Yunkai.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I write to you?" Lu Yunkai said with a stiff face.
Of course, he said this not only because Daphne was invited by Chris in her own name, but also because he noticed that Astoria next to him looked like she was going to make fun of Daphne.
After a simple tidying up, Lu Yunkai followed Daphne out of the Leaky Cauldron, and with Astoria who looked excited, the three of them came to Diagon Alley.
"Follow us, don't run around!"
Lu Yunkai looked at the crowds of tourists in Diagon Alley, knowing that it was probably because the owls at Hogwarts had started delivering letters in the past few days, so more and more people came to Diagon Alley to buy things, so he told the man who is known as the first Astoria in Diagon Alley.
"Okay brother-in-law!"
"If you keep yelling like that, I really can't be your brother-in-law." Lu Yunkai knew that it was useless to reason with such a child, so he could only use bluffing methods.
"Lu Yunkai! Why are you joining in the fun with her!" Daphne was not happy to be around.
"Okay! Go buy books first! Flourish and Blotts Bookstore!"
Lu Yunkai felt like he was a little different inside and out.
"..."
Daphne glared at Lu Yunkai fiercely, but still followed him silently.
However, Lu Yunkai soon realized that he seemed to have chosen the wrong first stop.
Flourish and Blotts Bookstore was so crowded that Lu Yunkai even had the illusion that so many people in Diagon Alley today were rushing to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
There was even a long queue outside the bookstore.
"It's strange, why are there so many people in the bookstore today?"
Lu Yunkai looked at the group of people, a little speechless.
He is considered an old Diagon Alley resident, and this is the first time he has seen people queuing up outside a bookstore...
"Today is Gerald Lockhart's book signing, and of course there are many people!"
"...Hermione? Are you here to buy something too?"
Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello to Hermione who had just spoken to him.
"Hello! Daphne!" Hermione also smiled and greeted Daphne.
"Is it the Lockhart who wrote about Magic and Me?" Daphne asked after smiling in return.
"Yes! I also want to meet him in person!" Hermione nodded, then looked at Lu Yunkai: "Yunkai, why don't you reply to my letter?"
"Ah? Did you write me a letter? Why didn't I receive it?"
"Brother-in-law, who is this?" Astoria "timely" intervened between Lu Yunkai and Hermione.
"Brother-in-law??"
Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard Astoria's words.
"Astoria!!" Daphne's face turned red at this moment, and she quickly pulled Astoria behind her.
"Daphne? Is this your sister??" Hermione had a strange smile on her face.
"Are you a classmate of my sister and brother-in-law?" Astoria looked at Hermione with a wary look on her face.
"...Sister and brother-in-law? Hahahaha..." Hermione laughed.
"Astoria, stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, whose head was almost buried in her chest. How embarrassing!
I said Hermione, you are usually a nerd, but are you so nosy? This is really the nature of women! ?
But at this moment, something even more depressing happened to Lu Yunkai.
"Hermione! Yunkai! Hello!"
"Harry, Ron, hello!" Lu Yunkai looked at Harry and Ron who came together and regretted even more.
"Hermione, what are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so happily?" Harry smiled and hugged Lu Yunkai, then hugged Hermione again and asked Hermione.
Of course, he didn't forget to nod and say hello to Daphne.
"It's nothing." Hermione reluctantly put away her smile, but did not tell Astoria's words to her two friends.
"Are you going to line up here?" Although Lu Yunkai didn't particularly care about Astoria's nonsense, he thought that Daphne would be tortured enough, so he wanted to leave first, "I'll go shopping with Daphne first." Something.”
"Sooner or later, I have to buy books. There will probably be more people soon." Hermione glanced at Lu Yunkai with a meaningful smile, "But if you... go ahead!"
"Let's go together! It's so lively!" Ron was a little confused at the side, "It's rare for so many people to gather together in Diagon Alley...ah! Hermione, why are you stepping on me!"
"Just wait in line!!" Hermione glared at Ron fiercely.
"I don't have to queue! My mother has been waiting in front with my sister for a long time. She will buy everything for us." Ron looked aggrieved and said, "I'm just here to ask you and Lu Yun to drive to the front." Go."
Seeing Ron's stupid expression, Hermione could only sigh and shake her head speechlessly.
"Then..." Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne.
Daphne lowered her head and said nothing, as if she didn't want to just slip away.
"Then it's up to you Ron." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly.
This girl Daphne... doesn't seem to particularly mind being called brother-in-law by her sister in front of everyone!
