Chapter 249 Going Around in Circles
"Hello! Chris!!"
"...Hello Luna."
Originally, Lu Yunkai was not in a very good mood today, but when he saw Luna's smiling face, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.
This girl has an inexplicable ability to make people smile! No wonder Chris likes her so much...
Well, this girl only greeted Chris but ignored herself, no wonder this broken cat likes her so much!
"My father said he will be back soon, you sit down first!" Luna smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai, then squatted down and stretched out her hand to Chris who jumped off Lu Yunkai's shoulder.
But she didn't touch Chris directly.
Chris took a few small steps to Luna's hand and rubbed Luna's hand with her head.
Lu Yunkai looked at Chris greeting Luna there, and sat down with a helpless smile.
Just now, Chris told Lu Yunkai that when it was following Ginny before, it was discovered by Luna once, but she thought Chris was following her. Since then, she has been feeding Chris some dried fish and other things when she is wandering around the castle, and her relationship with Chris has become better and better.
"There is tea in the pot over there, pour it yourself and drink it?" Luna squatted there and turned back and smiled and pointed to the kettle on the stove beside her, and then continued to look at Chris with a smile.
"...Okay."
Lu Yunkai could only come to the stove by himself, picked up the kettle, took a cup, and poured out some of the contents of the pot.
Then he immediately regretted it.
This green viscous liquid... is called tea? ? Can this thing be drunk? But looking at Luna's smiling face, it doesn't seem like she is teasing herself! I can only drink it reluctantly.
It's so fishy! !
"What is this?" Lu Yunkai couldn't help asking Luna.
"Enlightenment grass juice." Luna took out a piece of meat from somewhere and placed it in front of Chris. She watched Chris eat it and answered casually, "It can improve people's brains."
"..."
Lu Yunkai put down the teacup in his hand.
He tried to smile.
My system identified this thing as an unknown liquid! What effect of improving people's brains? If this thing is useful, can you be called a crazy girl?
Did I find the wrong person?
Luna didn't seem to notice Lu Yunkai's little action. Her attention was almost entirely on Chris.
Lu Yunkai looked at Chris who was eating meat happily there and sighed helplessly.
This broken cat!!
After contacting Dumbledore in the morning, Lu Yunkai immediately sent a message to Luna, saying that he had said at school before that he hoped to visit her father and wondered if he was free today. And Luna also sent an invitation very straightforwardly, allowing Lu Yunkai to come directly to the Lovegood family through the fireplace.
Although they would greet each other very friendly every time they met at school, it was only after they arrived at Lovegood's house that Lu Yunkai realized that he and Luna were not as familiar with each other as he thought.
She even seemed to be more familiar with Chris than Lu Yunkai.
The two of them were in the room with a cat, but it turned out that Lu Yunkai was the one who was embarrassed!
There were just some things he really wanted to find out from Lovegood, so...
Just wait quietly!
Fortunately, Lovegood didn't let Lu Yunkai wait for long. He returned home in just five or six minutes.
"Hello, Mr. Lovegood."
Lu Yunkai looked at Lovegood who appeared in the fireplace and quickly stood up to greet him.
Perfect courtesy.
"Hello!" Lovegood cast a cleansing spell on himself and nodded to Lu Yunkai, then looked at his daughter who was playing with the cat, "Have you had lunch?"
"Not yet." Luna smiled and shook her head, "I'm waiting for you to come back!"
"Well..." Lovegood glanced at Lu Yunkai.
"You guys should eat first, it's okay, I can wait."
"Okay..." Lovegood glanced at Chris and was about to say something else.
"Father, let's see if Lu Yunkai has anything to ask you!" Luna interrupted Lovegood, "It's rare that he has something to ask me for help!"
"...Okay." Hearing Luna say this, her father could only agree.
"Thank you, Luna." Lu Yunkai nodded to Luna.
It can be seen that this is another daughter who is treated as a treasure at home. No matter what she says, her father will follow her.
Luna smiled and shook her head and asked, "Can I listen to what you want to ask?"
"Of course!" Lu Yunkai nodded quickly, "I want to ask Mr. Lovegood about the Deathly Hallows and the people of the Peverell family."
"...Deathly Hallows? Why did you suddenly think of this...Luna, have you shown him your pendant that you wear close to your body?" Lovegood was stunned and looked at his daughter.
"No!" Luna shook her head, "I always wear it close to my body..."
"..."Lovegood frowned and looked at Lu Yunkai again.
"I learned some things about the Deathly Hallows by chance, but these things are all legendary objects, so I thought of you, Mr. Lovegood, and they have nothing to do with Luna." Lu Yunkai quickly clarified.
He glanced at Chris who meowed there.
Broken cat! Talking... no, you have to be responsible for yelling! What do you mean I have an affair with her... Don't you know whether it's clean or not? ?
"It's nothing!" Seeing Lu Yunkai's nervous look, Luna smiled instead, "It's this."
As she spoke, she pulled a thin rope behind her neck, and a pendant slipped out from her clothes.
A simple figure.
An equilateral triangle, with a straight line inside that divides the triangle into two from the middle, and inside the triangle there is an inscribed circle.
Lu Yunkai is very familiar with it.
He has seen this "triangle eye" pattern on the resurrection stone that is now lying in his space bag.
"This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows." Lovegood looked at his daughter like this, his expression became more and more strange, but he still tried to maintain a calm tone and said: "The triangle symbolizes the invisibility cloak, the circle symbolizes the resurrection stone, and the straight line symbolizes the elder wand."
"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded vaguely, "Sir, I heard that possessing three Deathly Hallows at the same time can have the power to surpass the god of death... Is this true?"
He didn't want to discuss the meaning of this pattern with Lovegood, because he didn't believe that the original meaning of this pattern was this.
You know, the resurrection stone in Lu Yunkai's hand also has this symbol, which was given to him by the devil himself.
Three pieces in a set?
How is it possible! !
Could it be that there are three devils who are so close that they are sworn brothers?
"Who can know this?" Lovegood was stunned and smiled: "Even if they were the first generation holders, each of the three brothers had one, not all of them were concentrated in the hands of one person!"
"So... at least you believe that the three Peverell brothers were the first generation holders of the Deathly Hallows?"
"Of course!" Lovegood nodded, "The Peverell family is not without a reputation, a family whose origins are unclear, and even the Deathly Hallows can be found in some records..."
"Oh? Then do you know how the Deathly Hallows were passed down?" Lu Yunkai's eyelids jumped.
Finally, he got to the key point, and Lu Yunkai perked up all of a sudden.
"I heard some of it, but if you say I know..." Lovegood laughed, "If I knew... well, in fact, even if I knew, I wouldn't dare to look for it."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yunkai became more and more interested.
"The Elder Wand is a complete jinx." Lovegood sighed softly, "None of its previous holders had a good ending. I heard that the last holder, Gregorovitch, also died last winter."
"...Yeah."
Lu Yunkai nodded.
"But it is said that the person who killed Gregorovitch should not have gotten the Elder Wand...Who knows!" Lovegood continued, "As for the Resurrection Stone...Although many people disagree with my point of view, I always think that its circulation is very clear."
"What do you think?" Lu Yunkai asked, trying to control his expression.
This kind of point of view that no one else agrees with is probably your own guess, right? Lu Yunkai silently complained in his heart.
"This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows," Lovegood nodded, then picked up a triangular eye-shaped pendant from his chest and said to Lu Yunkai: "It was once used as the emblem of a pure-blood wizard family. It is said that it was because there was this emblem on one of his heirlooms."
"...This is not courting death!" Lu Yunkai laughed.
"That's not the case. After all, most people don't believe that there are Deathly Hallows circulating."
"What is the origin of this family?"
"The bloodline of this family is said to be very noble, named Gaunt. You may not have heard of this name, but you must know their ancestors." Lovegood glanced at the school emblem on the chest of Lu Yunkai's magic robe, "Salazar Slytherin."
"...Your Highness..."
"Yes." Lovegood nodded.
"..."Lu Yunkai's expression became more and more strange.
Voldemort can summon demons! ! It makes sense! !
"As for the last and most precious invisibility cloak of the Peverell family, it disappeared the most completely." Lovegood continued: "After all, the fur of the invisible beast can be used to make the invisibility cloak. It is difficult for you to tell which invisibility cloak is made of the fur of the invisible beast and which is the Deathly Hallows..."
"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded.
But the Marauder's Map can do it...
So! Where did that map come from! !
"That's all I know." Lovegood saw Lu Yunkai looking thoughtful and smiled, "I hope it can be of some help to you."
"Of course!! Thank you very much." Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.
Just knowing that Voldemort is related to the Resurrection Stone is already a great benefit to me... But wait a minute!! Why is the Resurrection Stone that should be in Voldemort's hands now in Dumbledore's hands? ?
Lu Yunkai suddenly thought of something that he couldn't explain.
"If you are really interested in the Deathly Hallows, we have a club that meets around Christmas every year. I can recommend you to join this Christmas." Lovegood smiled and continued, "How about it?"
"Okay!" Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then I'll contact you at Christmas?"
"Okay."
"Thank you... Then I'll leave first?" Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris who was playing with Luna.
Chris climbed onto Lu Yunkai's shoulders in a few steps at almost the fastest speed.
"Well, take care."
Lovegood smiled and saw him off.
...
"Meow, I never thought that the Resurrection Stone had once fallen into Voldemort's hands."
More than ten minutes later, on the balcony outside Lu Yunkai's bedroom.
Chris lay on the table with squinted eyes, looking at Lu Yunkai who was silent there, trying to break the silence that had begun since they returned home.
"...I don't think Voldemort knows that it is the Resurrection Stone." Lu Yunkai shook his head and said in a low voice.
"Meow? Why do you think so?"
"That's one of the three Deathly Hallows!" Lu Yunkai continued, "If Voldemort knew, he would have planned to get the Elder Wand a long time ago. Would he wait until now to find it because he was worried that he couldn't kill Harry?"
"...What do you mean?"
"I was thinking, if Voldemort didn't know that the ring was the Resurrection Stone, and just regarded it as a Gaunt family...or Slytherin family heirloom, then it makes sense." Lu Yunkai took a deep breath.
"What makes sense?"
"It's in Dumbledore's hands now!" Lu Yunkai rolled his eyes at Chris, who was confused, "Don't you think about what Dumbledore is busy with recently!"
"Looking for Horcruxes...Meow!!!" Chris finally reacted.
"Yes! It's normal that Voldemort made a Horcrux from Ravenclaw's diadem and then a Slytherin heirloom ring!" Lu Yunkai nodded, "And Dumbledore was looking for a Horcrux, and while searching, he actually found that one of the Deathly Hallows he was looking for when he was young was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort..."
At this point, Lu Yunkai's face had a strange smile.
"This is fate!" Chris' voice was also teasing.
...
