Chapter 123: Depend on It

"What exactly do you want me to help you with?"

Lu Yunkai sat cross-legged on the withered grass. He looked at Sirius who was sitting cross-legged on the ground opposite him and had already released the binding spell. He said a little grumpily.

After learning another version of the story about Harry's father's death from Sirius that day, Lu Yunkai and Chrissy went to investigate whether what he said was true or false.

For example, Chris didn't know how she got into the Ministry of Magic, and then found out in the files how Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban: he didn't even stand trial, but was the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the time. Throw him directly into prison. So there is actually no evidence as to whether he betrayed James Potter.

And Lu Yunkai was at Daphne's house (really not to meet Daphne, let alone on the way. At least that's what Lu Yunkai believed.), through the twin mirrors, he asked Baron about the details of the Secret Keeper's magic, and also visited Weiss again. The Lai family asked for news about Scabbers who "probably died somewhere in Hogwarts" (said Scabbers' former owner Percy).

All the information gathered seemed to prove that Sirius was telling the truth under the Veritaserum.

As a result, Lu Yunkai felt that he couldn't completely ignore the gangster in front of him. He didn't look like a guy from the Black family, one of the major pure-blood families in the magic world, known as the longest-standing inheritance...

"Two things..."

"One piece at most." Lu Yunkai interrupted Sirius.

"...Don't worry, it won't be too much trouble."

Sirius's evil smile made Lu Yunkai extremely uncomfortable.

"Say. Let me tell you, I am just an ordinary Hogwarts magic apprentice..."

"Don't come here anymore! I have already investigated in the past few days. You are Slughorn's adopted son. Although you were abandoned by him, I don't know what method you used to destroy the Shafiq family's ancestral home." I bought it..."

Lu Yunkai stood up directly.

"Okay! I won't say any more!" Sirius smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "I just want to ask you to help me get a wand."

"Here." Lu Yunkai took out a wand from the system and threw it to Sirius.

"...I don't want your wand! I want you to help me buy one from Ollivanders." Sirius was stunned when he saw Lu Yunkai conjuring a wand with his backhand.

"Try it yourself!" Lu Yunkai's face was full of impatience.

Sirius waved the wand in his hand.

No response.

"Are you such a loser? Have you been locked up in Azkaban for a long time and your magic sensitivity has dropped?" Lu Yunkai took out another wand and threw it to him in annoyance.

This time, it passed.

There was a loud bang.

Lu Yunkai and Chris, who was hiding behind him in the back wall and could not be seen by Sirius, were frightened by the loud noise. On the contrary, the instigator was smiling there, seemingly very satisfied with his prank.

"Here." Lu Yunkai picked up another one from the system that was between the sensitivity of the first two.

This time, it seems better.

"Where did you get so many wands?" Sirius looked curiously as he watched Lu Yunkai take back the other two wands, then disappeared from his eyes in a blink of an eye, and asked with some surprise, "You know how to make wands?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Okay, you can go."

Lu Yun gave Sirius a white look.

In order to solve the problem of the deceptive magic not shining, he had carefully studied the principle of the wand. But it’s still far from being something you can do yourself! But this does not prevent him from buying a few from the system...

"I have one more thing to ask you for help with."

"...Don't push yourself too far!!"

"I would like to ask you to be my family's secret keeper." Sirius said with a smile.

"...Secret Keeper? Do you still have a family?"

"Although I'm not very proud of it, I am still a member of the Black family." Sirius smiled and continued, "Now that big family is either in Azkaban, or they are all dead, so That house is mine now."

"Then what do you want the Secret Keeper to do? Do you think Voldemort will come to trouble you?"

"Voldemort may not, but the Ministry of Magic may." Sirius shook his head, "Also, since I can slip out of Azkaban, my cousins ​​may also be able to slip out, and I don't want them to Come visit me. There's a secret keeper, at least they can't get in."

"Cousins?"

"Oh, there is one you should be familiar with, Narcissa. Her surname is Malfoy."

"..."

Malfoy's mother is Sirius' cousin? ? Is this circle too small?

"Originally, I thought you would say first, why should you buy a wand for me? Then I wanted to say that if you become my family's secret keeper, you can report me to the Ministry of Magic at any time, so that I can't harm you...but I didn't To think that you actually gave me a very convenient wand... Hehe." Seeing that Lu Yunkai was speechless by his words, Sirius smiled even more happily.

He looked like a satisfied bad boy after a successful prank.

Lu Yunkai suddenly thought of George and Fred...

never mind.

"Give me the address." Lu Yunkai stretched out his hand.

"Here." Blake took out a piece of parchment less than half a palm's size from his clothes and handed it to Lu Yunkai.

As soon as Lu Yunkai took the parchment, the paper seemed to be ignited by some strange flame. With a bang, there was no ashes left.

And an address has appeared in Lu Yunkai's mind.

12 Grimmauld Place, London.

"If anything happens again, I will contact you again." Sirius stood up quickly.

"...are you still in contact? Are you finished? What do I have to say to you?" Lu Yunkai really broke out this time, "Are you really not afraid that I will let the Ministry of Magic know about you??"

"Although Voldemort is dead, but the Death Eaters are still there, I still worry about Harry's safety. People like Snape... hum." Sirius spat, "So I will still go back to Hogwarts To protect Harry..."

"Harry doesn't need your protection! With Dumbledore here, who could have hurt him!" Lu Yunkai interrupted Sirius, "Besides, who told you that Voldemort is dead?"

"I heard that Harry has foiled Voldemort's conspiracy to resurrect him for two consecutive years!"

"There are two times but not a third time?" Lu Yun gave Sirius a blank look, and then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I want to stay in school to study, so I will leave this matter to you, so that you don't have to worry about it all the time. Go to Hogwarts to cause trouble. Find out where Voldemort is hiding now!"

"...Huh?? Are you sure he's not dead yet?"

"Definitely not dead." Lu Yunkai shook his head firmly, "Although I don't know how he did it, you have nothing to do anyway, so just do it!"

"Are you assigning work to me?" Sirius smiled strangely.

"Peter is dead. Your only chance to clear your name now is to find out why Voldemort can't be killed, and then help us kill him."

"We? You??" Sirius smiled even happier.

"Well, I might as well tell you that Voldemort was almost resurrected in the Chamber of Secrets this year, and he was killed by the big cat that ate Peter. Your precious godson actually didn't do much." Lu Yunkai He said calmly, "The reason why this matter is blamed on Harry is because I am a Slytherin student and my status is relatively sensitive."

"Oh? That big cat..."

"Can an ordinary cat eat Peter? Do you really think that your best friend has the IQ of a mouse?"

Lu Yunkai's words made Sirius remain silent.

He originally looked down upon that little follower who he never cared about, but because such a person he looked down upon had succeeded in getting him to live in Azkaban for so many years, Sirius had already changed his contemptuous attitude. .

That guy may not be a very good wizard, but when it comes to escaping and surviving, there is probably no one in England who is better than him. To be able to kill such a guy, that big cat might actually have some abilities.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. If you want anything... well, I'll give you this."

Lu Yunkai bought a small mirror from the system, set himself as a contact on it, and handed it to Sirius.

This is the first generation of text-based communication mirrors that Lu Yunkai studied. After he researched that the second generation could make video calls, he sold this mirror to the system. In the current system, any number of such mirrors can be purchased at any time.

Of course, it's not particularly cheap. Lu Yunkai didn't know why the system priced this thing at three hundred gold galleons.

"What's this?"

"If you have anything to say to me, use this contact." Lu Yunkai briefly introduced, "This is much safer than the owl."

"Okay." Sirius took the mirror with a little curiosity, pointed his wand at the mirror, and a text appeared on it.

At the same time, the mirror in Lu Yunkai's arms shook slightly.

Lu Yunkai took out the mirror and took a look. It was the hair from Sirius in front of him.

After a quick glance, Lu Yun smiled.

"Harry doesn't have this mirror. I don't want him to tell Ron after knowing it, and then Ron will tell his brothers, and then the entire Hogwarts and even the entire Ministry of Magic will know the existence of this thing." Lu Yunkai answered Sirius said, "Don't even think about contacting Harry through this."

"You have to believe Harry..."

"And!! You are now the sinner who nominally helped Voldemort kill the Potters. Harry thinks so too. I can believe it was not you who did it, but you think that when you appear in front of Harry, he will give you A chance to explain?" Lu Yunkai spread his hands and said, "Don't expect me to speak for you. If I help you, my friendship with him will be over. Why do you think he is willing to contact you?"

"Okay." After hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Sirius could only sigh in frustration, "Then I'm leaving."

"Well, if you are not so desperate to restore your reputation and recognize Harry, there is no need to track down Voldemort."

"No need for you to rush!!"

Sirius' figure flashed and disappeared.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

"What kind of magic is this?" Lu Yunkai asked Chrissy as he looked at the place where Sirius disappeared with envy.

"Apparition! Meow, you don't know?"

"I've never seen it before! This spell looks very useful!" Lu Yunkai's eyes lit up.

"The Ministry of Magic stipulates that only people over 17 years old can learn this magic. Moreover, this magic is very dangerous to learn. If you are not careful, you will be beheaded and die on the spot!"

"... Shut up! You ugly cat!"

Lu Yunkai muttered and turned back to the wall.
