Chapter 146 We Are All Relatives

"How about you two chat first, I'll hide for a while?"

Blaise looked at his mother and Lu Yunkai in front of him with a bit of embarrassment.

In the bustling crowd on Platform 9 3/4, Mrs. Zabini's widow look with a black veil and a tight long dress was quite eye-catching. In addition, what she wanted to say to Lu Yunkai was something that Blaise didn't want to get involved in.

"No need." Mrs. Zabini shook her head, "I said it very clearly in the mirror. It's not that condition, and there's no need for me to get involved. Anyway, the money I earn now is enough to spend."

After saying that, regardless of what Blaise obviously wanted to say, she directly pulled her son away from the platform.

Before Blaise was dragged away, he still winked at Lu Yunkai, reminding him not to forget to contact him during the summer vacation.

Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded, indicating that he had received it.

"Breece's mother is really something, why is she so aggressive?"

Daphne, who was looking very unhappy, came over.

"...You haven't left yet?"

"Waiting for you!" Daphne said as a matter of course, "Anyway, my mother has to talk to someone, and Astoria is also making an appointment with someone for a summer owl communication."

She pointed to Helin, who was happily chatting with Malfoy's mother, and Astoria, who was talking to a Slytherin girl.

Lu Yunkai had an impression of that girl. She was the only female freshman in Slytherin this year besides Astoria. She got along well with Astoria and often played snakes with her...

By the way, what was her name? I forgot.

But he could call out the names of several boys in the first grade at once.

"The girl's name is Karina. Why, do you want to meet her?"

"...Are you sick?" Lu Yunkai was amused by Daphne's words.

He also remembered the girl's name. When he first heard it from Astoria, he thought she was French. Later, she explained to Lu Yunkai that her mother was indeed a French witch.

Oh, now that I think about it, I have talked to her! I don't even remember her name... Amazing.

"I saw you staring at her so intently, I thought you were interested in something!"

"I just forgot her name, and I'm trying to think about it." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "I'm going to Diagon Alley first, you go back first!"

"... Go to Diagon Alley? Didn't you say you won't go to Bermuda this year?"

"I'm going to Knockturn Alley to find someone." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Chris's old friend wrote me a letter last week, asking me to go see him after the holiday."

"Oh." Hearing the words Knockturn Alley and Chris's friend, Daphne didn't ask any more questions.

The two chatted for a while, and Astoria finally finished talking to her bestie, and when Helin saw that her two daughters were ready, she said goodbye to Malfoy's mother and took the two princesses home.

Lu Yunkai smiled and waved to Mrs. Malfoy, who was still waiting for Malfoy and his two little followers to talk about summer vacation arrangements, and said hello to Mrs. Weasley, who was still waiting to talk to Ginny and Luna, and left King's Cross Station.

Diagon Alley was still as lively as usual.

After all, it has been a year since Sirius escaped from prison. Although he has not been caught, at least he is no longer in England! Life must go on, so...

Forgetting is not shameful.

Lu Yunkai did not forget to greet every familiar shop owner along the way. He was loved by everyone like a socialite who would bloom when seeing him.

All the way, he came to the small shop in the corner of Knockturn Alley.

With a squeak, he pushed open the broken door of the small shop.

Old Eli was taking a nap on the recliner.

"Meow! Wake up!" Chris shouted, waking Old Eli up from the chair.

"Oh! Lu Yunkai! Are you on holiday?"

"Today is my holiday. What do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yunkai was not polite to the old man and naturally found a chair to sit down.

"Oh, a few days ago I saw the little girl who grew herbs with you brought a lot of herbs to Giggs. Did you harvest all the herbs you grew?"

"I guess it's been a while. What's wrong?" Lu Yunkai nodded.

"So the legendary idiot from the Shafik family exchanged a house for a wine bowl, from you?"

"...from Madam Zabini. She used this house to pay for the potion I gave her." Lu Yunkai answered without a single leak.

Although the cooperation between him and Madam Zabini has stopped for a year, the contract is still there.

"Oh." Old Eli didn't doubt it.

If Lu Yunkai had this strange magic item, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of using a crystal ball to blackmail him for a thousand gold galleons.

"You want to buy herbs? You don't make potions, so why do you need that stuff?" Lu Yunkai changed the topic about the house.

"It's just... I remember hearing Chris say that you got forgetfulness grass at school last year to make a curse-breaking potion, and this year the girl who helped you grow herbs gave a pot to Sprout..."

"If you want forgetfulness grass, just say it directly! Is it necessary to be so roundabout?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Eli with a smile, "How much will you pay?"

"Can't you give me a pot? You can even give Sprout!" Eli looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Meow! Are you worthy?" Chris jumped out at the right moment and called out to Eli.

Even without Lu Yun's translation, Eli could understand what it was saying.

"I only have this small shop. Let's talk about making money, but it doesn't have much money." Eli shook his head, "If you want me to spend hundreds of thousands of gold galleons, it's not that I can't come up with it, but you can give it all." Without you, I won’t be able to live my life anymore. God knows how many years I can live, right? What if I make a will and all my property will belong to you after my death?”

"……What do you mean?"

Hearing what Eli said, Lu Yunkai, who originally asked Eli for money just as a joke, was stunned.

He really didn't think about asking Eli for any money.

A pot of amnesia in the system only costs a few gold galleons, and the old sofa in the Room of Requirement can be replaced with several pots.

But Eli's words made Lu Yunkai sound as if he needed the amnesia for urgent use.

"I'm useful."

"Forgetfulness grass may be poisonous when used to refine potions." Lu Yunkai reminded Eli in a roundabout way.

"It would be better if you could just give me a bottle of powerful memory potion." Old Eli nodded.

Quiet.

"Meow, what's your relationship with that Bertha Jorkins?" Chrissy's words broke the silence.

In fact, this is also the question Lu Yunkai wants to ask. Forgetfulness, a powerful memory potion, these two things really reminded him of the forgetful witch. After all, even if the average person has a poor memory, they will not need this kind of medicine. See Neville Longbottom.

Lu Yunkai relayed what Chris said.

"Her mother... is my daughter."

"...She is your granddaughter?" Lu Yunkai was very surprised.

"The magic circle in England is not big to begin with, so it's no surprise that anyone is a relative of whom." Old Eli shook his head, "She also looked down on me as an old man. After she entered the Ministry of Magic, she cut off all contact with me. but……"

"She asked you to ask me for amnesia?" Lu Yunkai's brows wrinkled.

If this Jorkins can really guess who he is from the two wizards in Hogsmeade who used the confusion spell (in fact, Lu Yunkai also knows that it is not difficult, just like Sprout went to Lu Yunkai before the end of the semester) After expressing his gratitude to him for sending him a pot of forget grass), Lu Yunkai felt that he might really need to revise his action plan.

It’s true that I’ve been a bit too public in recent years…

"No. I guessed it." Eli shook his head, "Don't worry. Everyone in Knockturn Alley rarely says anything about you because of Chris. You are still just an ordinary Slater. "Student Lin."

"Knockturn Alley..."

"What no one in Knockturn Alley knows, no one in the British wizarding world knows." Old Eli said this with a strong sense of confidence.

"...So your granddaughter doesn't know that you plan to use all your family property to buy her a pot of amnesia?"

"Just tell me if you still have it!" Old Eli didn't want to continue talking about this matter.

"Yes. I can directly give you a bottle of powerful memory potion. But... I don't think you should give her this bottle of potion."

"Why?"

"Are you sure that if she regains her memory, well, I understand that's almost impossible, I mean, her memory is restored, that Barty Crouch won't come back to trouble her?"

"He didn't dare."

"Back then he..."

"Back then, he was a popular choice for the Minister of Magic. What now?" Eli snorted, "A son and wife are dead, and he is a lonely man who has been separated from all his relatives."

"...I think you may be underestimating him."

"No, it's because you don't know the Ministry of Magic that you are worried about him. He is nothing now. Even if he had ten more courages, he wouldn't dare to attack Bertha again."

"Then why hasn't anyone investigated Jorkins' amnesia yet?"

"Setting up old scores and allowing him to continue to do whatever he wants are two different things."

"...Okay." Lu Yunkai didn't understand very well, but he felt that he had no position to dissuade such elders from worrying about their grandchildren.

"Then are you going to give me the amnesia, or just give me a bottle of potion?"

"Powerful memory potion is not an easy potion to make. Are you sure you can find someone to help you make it?"

"Although you are considered a good student at Hogwarts, in Knockturn Alley, you have accumulated hundreds of years of good students like you at Hogwarts." Old Eli was a little unhappy with Lu Yunkai's tone.

"...Forget it, I'll just give you the medicine." Lu Yunkai sighed, "But actually, I think that compared to the powerful memory potion, the powerful curse-removing potion is more suitable for her current situation."

"Then let's go together..."

"Meow! You are going crazy!" Chris couldn't help but jumped out.

Although it also knows that these potions are not very valuable at Lu Yunkai's place, it can't resist the fact that forgetfulness grass is valuable in Knockturn Alley! Two bottles of medicine, that’s two pots of forgetfulness!

"There is only one bottle. Please discuss it with your granddaughter. My suggestion is a powerful curse-removing potion. Her problem is not bad memory, but forgetfulness caused by the spell. Memory potions are not very symptomatic." Lu Yunkai also understood. Chris means.

Of course, it's not that he really lacks this bottle of medicine, but he has to show that he lacks it.

"Then I'll think about it and give you an answer tonight?" Old Eli nodded after hearing what Lu Yunkai said.

He really didn't know much about potions, and Lu Yunkai was the one who published a paper on potions in the Daily Prophet.

"Yeah. I'll come back after dinner."

"Okay, thank you."

"It's okay, you have to pay me anyway." Lu Yunkai smiled and reached out to touch Chris's cat head, "Please keep an eye on it for me later, don't let this old man spend money recklessly and waste all the money that should be given to me."

"Meow! That thing is not worth much to you, don't think about doing me a favor."

Chris jumped out of Lu Yunkai's clutches and cried out.

What do you mean keep an eye on it for him! Chris understood that Lu Yunkai was telling it that Lu Yunkai was basically giving Old Eli a bottle of potion that God knows how much it can sell in Knockturn Alley for free, in fact, just for its sake.

Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head.

It doesn't matter, anyway...

Well, as Chris said, it was not worth much in the first place.
