Chapter 58 School Starts

"Who is this..." Daphne was stunned when she saw the beautiful woman who took the initiative to greet Lu Yunkai.

This woman is so beautiful!

Daphne felt a little ashamed for a moment...

"Blaise's mother."

"Oh!" Hearing Lu Yunkai say this, Daphne suddenly understood. As a classmate, she also knew the strange stories about Blaise's mother, "Hello, Mrs. Zabini. My name is Daphne."

"The eldest daughter of the Greengrass family!" Mrs. Zabini smiled and glanced at Lu Yunkai, whose face was full of worry, "I heard Blaise say that you and Lu Yunkai are a couple."

"Ah!!"

"It's okay! Don't be embarrassed! When your mother was pursuing your father, the whole Hogwarts was in turmoil. The big hand who dyed the entire castle in his favorite color was a legend in Hogwarts..."

"Ahem, Mrs. Zabini, is your store out of business today again?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini.

What does this woman want to do!

"There's nothing I can do! I can't get any good products, and I can't get any orders. I wanted to find someone to rely on to open a store together, but that enemy is so distracted... I'm so miserable!" Mrs. Zabini glanced at Lu Yunkai with a hint of meaning.

"... Actually, you can ask Blaise to come to the store to help out during the summer vacation. He has nothing to do at home anyway. It just so happens that you are not young anymore, and it's time to train your son, isn't it?"

Lu Yunkai gritted his teeth and directly responded with a hint of meaning.

"That's right! I can also use this time to pursue a happier life! Otherwise, I'm working hard to make money here every day, but that person is out there flirting with other girls, which is too much for me."

Mrs. Zabini said without changing her expression.

Damn, this is a veteran! Lu Yunkai glanced at Astoria, who was rolling her eyes and looking at this weird atmosphere next to him.

What is yin and yang, what is sweet words and daggers, what is trouble-making, learn it well! You are still too young, too simple, and too naive!

"Yunkai! What are you talking about?" Daphne, who was standing by, didn't understand what Lu Yunkai and Mrs. Zabini were talking about at all, and asked in confusion, "What store? What is this about flirting?"

"Mrs. Zabini has a magic supplies store next door." Lu Yunkai explained passively, "I heard Blaise tell me a lot about this store, and it seems that the business is not very good."

"Oh? What do you sell?"

"How should I know! Blaise wanted to take me to that store before, but the clerk kicked me out because I was too young." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Everything is sold!" Mrs. Zabini smiled, "Including love potions that can make men love you to death..."

"Ah!! No need!" Daphne blushed again and shook her head frantically.

"Of course, potions that make one person hate another are also sold!" Mrs. Zabini added, and then glanced at Astoria, "But they can't be sold to minors."

Lu Yunkai's eyelids twitched, and he didn't answer.

How did this Mrs. Zabini know that Astoria disliked her? She just walked into the cold drink shop, right? After that, Astoria didn't say a word...

"Okay! I won't disturb you young people talking about love. Order a cold drink and go back to the shop!" Seeing that Lu Yunkai didn't respond at all, she knew that if she continued to tease him like this and really made Lu Yunkai angry, it would be of no benefit to her, so she should stop while she was ahead.

After saying that, she went to the bar to order food leisurely.

Only three young people with a weird atmosphere were left at the table.

"Brother-in-law, why do you feel that you are very familiar with Mrs. Zabini?" Astoria finally spoke at this time.

"He helped Mrs. Zabini get a phoenix tear and saved her husband." Daphne explained on behalf of Lu Yunkai, "But I didn't realize she was so talkative. Blaise was depressed at school and basically ignored everyone except Lu Yunkai."

"Maybe his mother is too talkative, which made him introverted." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "But Astoria, why didn't you say a word just now? It was the same when we were in the bookstore before..."

"She's scared." Daphne smiled and explained, "When there are guests at home, she hides in her room and doesn't see anyone except when she has to show her face at dinner."

"I didn't realize it. I thought she was quite lively."

"That's because you are not an outsider, brother-in-law! My sister has been talking about you every day during the summer vacation. I feel like we are acquaintances." Astoria continued.

She said this just to embarrass her sister.

Unexpectedly, Daphne blushed but didn't refute her.

This made Astoria, who was ready to face her sister's angry fist, a little at a loss.

"That's really rare! I hope you can give me more advice in the future!" Lu Yunkai naturally understood what happened and said to Astoria with a smile.

"... Lu Yunkai, what are you talking about!!" Daphne blushed.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything!"

Lu Yunkai smiled and glanced at Astoria, whose face was red because of the hidden meaning of Lu Yunkai's words.

This little girl is quite fun. She likes to fight with me. Come on! Anyway, I have to wait for the ring to be made. I have nothing to do recently.

…

Although Lu Yunkai had a little fight with Daphne's sister because of a little bit of fighting spirit and boredom, he was ridiculed by Chris who knew about this that night.

“Meow! Fighting with a little girl who is not even the age of a silent person, aren’t you ashamed? Let me tell you, although the Greengrass family is usually not very prominent, it is also a wizard family with hundreds of years of inheritance! If you don’t like Daphne, stay away from her. If you offend someone in their family because of fighting spirit, God knows how much trouble you will have!”

Lu Yunkai also accepted Chris’s criticism, but he also had other plans.

He didn’t believe that a little emotional budding of a 12-year-old girl in adolescence could really grow into a towering tree.

In his opinion, as long as he didn’t turn friends into enemies, the Greengrass family would be solid friends in the future! Wouldn't it be stupid to give up such an opportunity?

As for the relationship...

If there was a person like Daphne who could become his wife in his previous life, he would wake up laughing in his dreams in the middle of the night, right?

And for the rest of the summer vacation, Lu Yunkai adhered to such a laissez-faire mentality, like a twelve-year-old boy, fighting with Astoria every day, chatting with Daphne, and occasionally taking two or three days to play with Harry and his friends who escaped from the blockade of his uncle's house and ran to Ron's house.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed. On September 1st, the express train to Hogwarts was ready to go at Platform 9 and 3/4, and on the platform, a group of wizard apprentices were saying their final goodbyes to their parents and families.

"Study hard in school and don't get into trouble, okay?"

"I understand."

"I'll have to trouble Lu Yunkai to take care of Daphne. She has a bit of a bad temper. If she offends others sometimes..."

"It's okay, I'll protect her."

Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded to Daphne's mother, Mrs. Helene Greengrass.

Early this morning, Daphne and her mother came to the Leaky Cauldron together. This was also what he and Daphne had agreed to do before, and they went to King's Cross Station together from the bar.

He and Mrs. Helene had met several times in the past month. Helene had a good impression of Lu Yunkai, a polite, well-educated and talented young man.

Of course, there was a more important thing. Daphne secretly told Lu Yunkai that this witch named Helene was not her biological mother. Her biological mother who "lit up the entire Hogwarts Castle with magic" died of illness shortly after she was born. Although Helene had always been very good to Daphne, there was always something between them. So from getting along to talking, the two were polite to each other, and naturally she would not say anything about the things between her and Lu Yunkai.

To be more open-minded, it is called respecting Daphne's own ideas, but Daphne privately felt that she was just too lazy to worry about Daphne in such matters.

"Well, you get in the car!" Helin looked at her daughter's shy appearance and shook her head with a smile.

When she was at home, this girl was a little bully. Her sister was bullied by her and cried all day long. She was embarrassed because of her biological relationship and never said much, but in front of Lu Yunkai, Daphne was as obedient as a quail... This is one thing subdues another!

So even if these two children can't make it in the end, it may not be a bad thing for Daphne!

Under Helin's eyes, Lu Yunkai and Daphne got on the special express.

"Daphne! Lu Yunkai! Here!!"

Pansy Parkinson, who had already got on the car in advance, greeted Lu Yunkai and the others with a smile.

Malfoy and his two followers, as well as Blaise, whom Lu Yunkai had not seen much recently, were sitting together.

The two of them came over and joined their happy summer vacation topic.

Malfoy told his travel notes about France, Goyle and Crabbe flattered him beside him, Blaise talked about the various strange wizards he saw in his mother's new store, and Pansy and Millicent were discussing the necklace with the anti-aging spell purchased by Mrs. Malfoy, who was very famous this summer...

Amid the enthusiasm of peers, the special express left London and headed towards Hogwarts in the mountains of Scotland.

However, not long after the train left the station, there was a commotion in the carriage.

It came from the Gryffindors gathered at the other end.

"What is that Muggle doing again?" Malfoy said with disgust, looking at Hermione who was jumping up and down there with a worried look on her face.

"I'll go and see." Lu Yunkai stood up.

"Just ignore them!" Blaise advised Lu Yunkai.

"It's nothing for me to ask." Lu Yunkai smiled and patted his good brother's shoulder, and walked to the Gryffindor group, "Hermione, what's wrong?"

"... Yunkai! Did you see Harry and Ron at the station just now?"

"Harry? Yes!" Lu Yunkai nodded and pointed at Ginny next to him, "Didn't we say hello to each other just now!"

"Yeah! But I don't know where they went. I searched the whole car and couldn't see them!" Ginny also looked anxious.

"They didn't get on the car?" Lu Yunkai was confused.

He just saw that it was Mrs. Weasley who personally sent them here! Could it be that there were too many children and two of them were lost without being noticed? ?

"I don't know... Can you help us ask if anyone in Slytherin has seen it?"

"Well, okay." Lu Yunkai nodded, returned to the crowd of Slytherin, and relayed Hermione's words to his classmates.

"Who knows! Anyway, I haven't seen it." Malfoy looked gloating, "It would be great if the two of them were directly expelled from school because of this."

"It's not that bad to be expelled, right? It would be good to let Gryffindor lose some points." Goyle also gloated.

"... Yunkai, are you okay? Why do you look so worried?"

"Nothing." Lu Yunkai glanced at Ginny Weasley, whose face was anxious.

Forget it, I'd better not ask, otherwise Daphne will be jealous again.

I think Harry will be fine, right? He is the savior after all!
