Chapter 96 Being Educated

What happened in the Chamber of Secrets was just like what happened in the dungeon last year. Although it was claimed to be kept secret, no one really took it seriously.

Even the way it was leaked was the same: Ron told his two twin brothers, and then Fred and George knew about it, which meant that the whole Hogwarts knew about it.

Harry saved Ginny from the basilisk and saved Hogwarts.

As for the other parts, such as who was the one who released the basilisk, the two brothers cleverly glossed over them.

Anyway, for a group of boys and girls, the huge basilisk that killed anyone by staring at it was stabbed to death by Harry with the sword of Gryffindor. This story that sounded full of the meaning of a young man slaying a dragon was far more attractive than the heir of Slytherin.

The busy Lu Yunkai did not participate in this incident.

Although Snape regarded Lu Yunkai as a helper when killing the basilisk, he did not show any good face to him after returning from the Chamber of Secrets. He gave the most severe reprimand to Lu Yunkai for his reckless behavior of rushing into the secret room with two roosters without notifying him, and then assigned Lu Yunkai 15 essays in one breath.

However, no explanation was given to the outside world, but this matter still caused a lot of uproar in Slytherin College.

As expected by Lu Yunkai, almost all Slytherins felt that Snape's punishment was not wrong.

"Yunkai, the basilisk is Salazar Slytherin's pet after all! Why are you investigating its affairs? If you have time to be curious, you might as well make more potions to sell!"

Malfoy's words to persuade Lu Yunkai can be said to be the best epitome of the attitude of these classmates.

Therefore, Lu Yunkai did not complain about Snape's bombardment of his homework.

He understood that Snape was reminding himself in this way. Although the basilisk died in his hands, it was blamed on Harry. It was a decision made by Snape to protect Lu Yunkai.

But he really didn't need Snape to remind him, he knew it clearly. And if he hadn't wanted to ensure the death of the basilisk, he would have really thought about notifying Snape and McGonagall before entering the Chamber of Secrets...

However, when Lu Yunkai started writing those dozen papers, he also understood another meaning of Snape: the dozen papers on potions that Snape assigned to him were actually a dozen potions that could be used to deal with the basilisk.

For example, the flash potion can temporarily blind the basilisk and prevent it from threatening with its eyes, instead of asking wizards to hide from the basilisk and not dare to look at it.

For example, the dragon blood potion can make the user emit the breath of a dragon, forming the legendary dragon pressure on most animals, making them choose to escape instead of facing wizards.

...

These dozen papers are actually Snape telling Lu Yunkai that if I had known that the thing in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk, then compared to foolishly holding two roosters to face the big monster, there are more than a dozen ways to get rid of it like a real wizard.

These dozen potions are all potions that are allowed to be taught in Hogwarts textbooks and comply with the Ministry of Magic's dangerous potion management restrictions.

In fact, these potions were all prepared by Lu Yunkai as early as last year...

Rather than saying that Snape held Lu Yunkai down and prevented him from running out to take risks, it would be better to educate Lu Yunkai in the tone of an elder: You are still too young!

As a "comrade-in-arms" who dealt with the basilisk together in the Chamber of Secrets, recalling that Snape turned around and threw potions into the body of the basilisk after two consecutive spells, and then immediately gave so many solutions after leaving the Chamber of Secrets, Lu Yunkai had to admit that this man who looked like a black iron tower was really much more handsome than the silly Lockhart.

So, although Daphne was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunkai for being punished to write a paper even though he saved Hogwarts, Lu Yunkai himself was indeed convinced to complete these homework contents that were actually equivalent to "after-class review".

During this process, Lu Yunkai also quickly realized that compared to last year when he only used the power of the special potion bottle to make potions, he had made great progress after more than half a year of desperately looking up various materials to solve the threat of the notebook and the basilisk.

Unconsciously, Lu Yunkai found that he seemed to be able to use a lot of magic that he thought "may only Hermione could use" before.

What's that saying? Interest is the best teacher.

In this way, a month passed in a blink of an eye.

"Yunkai!"

"Oh! Harry! What's wrong?"

On the weekend, as he had become accustomed to recently, Lu Yunkai got up early in the morning to eat breakfast, and then planned to go to the library to look up information and write a paper. He was stopped by Harry who had just come out of the infirmary the day before.

Although the Phoenix Tears saved Harry from the basilisk's venom, it did make him lose a lot of weight.

But compared to Ginny who is still lying in the infirmary and has not woken up, he is already lucky.

"Dumbledore told you to go see him if you are free in the evening."

"Oh."

"...He has something else for me to tell you."

Seeing Lu Yunkai's lukewarm reaction to the news of Dumbledore's return, Harry, who was originally a little excited, turned awkward with an awkward smile on his face.

"What?"

Seeing Harry's awkward expression, Lu Yunkai, who had no interest in Dumbledore at all, could only stop and put on a little concern on his face.

"He told me to thank you. You made some correct decisions."

"Whether it's right or not is not what he said... Never mind. Well. You're fine, I'm fine, and the school is fine, that's good." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

His prejudice against Dumbledore is second only to Lockhart.

Oh, Lockhart has become an idiot because of Ron's wand explosion, and now Dumbledore is the person he hates most in Hogwarts. So it seems that Ron made the greatest contribution to this incident!

"Well." Harry nodded, "It was only after Dumbledore reminded me that you rushed into the Chamber of Secrets, just like you came to the dungeon last year, all because of me."

"Didn't you rush into the Chamber of Secrets because of Ginny?" Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "You are my first real friend! Isn't it normal for me to help you when I see you in danger?"

And in fact, I am more for Chris! Lu Yunkai can't say this sentence.

"Yeah." Harry smiled, "But I still have to thank you."

"I accept your thanks." Lu Yunkai nodded seriously.

Harry smiled and gave Lu Yunkai a big hug, then turned and left.

Lu Yunkai looked at Harry's back as he left, sighed softly, and shook his head.

"Meow, you're really stupid to take risks for such a person."

Suddenly, a familiar cry sounded behind Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai turned his head sharply.

The cat with messy yellow and white fur, a big belly and a pointed face stood there, looking at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.

In fact, compared with Harry or Ginny, this broken cat was the biggest motivation for this adventure.

He had to personally end the basilisk and confirm its death, and not give it any chance to be subdued, controlled, or escape.

It was to allow Chris to recover.

As for Harry...

"What are you doing? Meow, aren't you excited to see me back?"

Chris seemed a little dissatisfied with Lu Yunkai's reaction.

"Dead cat!" Lu Yunkai stretched out his foot to kick it, but Chris dodged it very cleverly.

"You actually want to hit me as soon as we meet, meow! If I had known that I was in the Forbidden Forest, I would not have shown you mercy." Chris shouted a little unhappy.

"...Forbidden Forest?? Do you remember what happened in the Forbidden Forest?"

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back to the dormitory." Chris looked around.

Although not many people came to eat breakfast on Sunday morning, Chris, as a "famous cat" of Hogwarts, who was once attacked by the basilisk and judged dead, suddenly appeared in the school again, and attracted the attention of almost everyone at once.

It didn't seem to like this feeling.

"Let's go." Lu Yunkai nodded and squatted down.

Chris was stunned at first, then immediately understood what Lu Yunkai meant, and skillfully jumped onto Lu Yunkai's shoulders and returned to the Slytherin lounge.

In the past month, every weekend morning when there was no Quidditch training, Lu Yunkai would sit in a fixed seat, brewing a potion while writing a paper related to the potion.

In the past few weeks, Daphne would sit next to him at this time to do her own things, but not today.

Daphne, who got up later than Lu Yunkai, saw Lu Yunkai and Chris lying on his desk early in the morning, and chose not to disturb the one-on-one time between the man and the cat.

Instead, like everyone else in the lounge, she watched Chris, who had come back to life, calling out to Lu Yunkai from afar, and then didn't know what Chris was saying.

Only Lu Yunkai could understand what Chris was saying, and he felt very lucky about this.

Because the broken cat that he had missed for several months was saying things that made Lu Yunkai unable to stay calm, he really didn't dare to think about what would happen if other people in the Slytherin lounge could understand.

"Meow, I feel like the Voldemort in the Chamber of Secrets is not the same as the one behind Quirrell's head in the dungeon. Maybe there are other Voldemorts in this world..."

...
