Chapter 12 On the train
Facing the rising sun, the next day comes quietly.
With no safe food to eat, Lumi could only let down her guard and eat the same food as her roommates.
Before eating: be 80% alert.
After eating: vigilance level is 60%.
During the meal, Harry and Ron came to Lumi and asked him why he wanted to be Malfoy's friend.
Lumi's explanation for this is: "I am free to choose who to be my friend. I don't care if you don't want to be friends with Malfoy. You can even stay away from me if you want to."
This statement obviously made the two boys angry.
From that day on, Malfoy began to encounter Lumi frequently, while Harry and Ron stayed away from Lumi.
Occasionally, when meeting Ron, he would also make fun of Lumi.
Lumi fought back sharply every time.
This will undoubtedly make everyone think that Lumi does not want to have contact with Gryffindor people, and prefers Slytherin.
In fact, since the first time Ron and Harry came to Lumi to accuse them, Lumi's goodwill towards them had already been cleared.
It is not their turn to dictate how to socialize.
Later, I heard that Malfoy was in solitary confinement with three Gryffindors, and Lumi no longer cared about their affairs.
The three days of confinement were over, and Lumi was getting used to the food at Hogwarts.
The level of alertness in the Hogwarts cafeteria: 40%.
During these three days, the kitchen was guarded by a professor every day.
This makes the little badgers miserable.
The amazing thing is that since Lumi ate in the auditorium all day long, the professors seemed to have less of a habit of waking up hungry at night.
He couldn't use magic in the castle, and Lumi couldn't cast spells on ingredients. He couldn't feel completely at ease and didn't want to make food anymore.
During this time, besides attending classes and eating, Lumi went to Professor Quirrell to learn magic.
It is worth mentioning that since Voldemort swallowed Quirrell's soul, the teaching quality of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has skyrocketed.
Professor Quirrell, who cured his stammer, won unanimous praise from the students.
Although he is a little crazy sometimes, the content of the class is much better than when he studied hard before.
Due to his preference for Lumi, Voldemort did not take more care of Lumi in class, but gave detailed answers to Lumi's questions during weekly private lessons.
He is truly a good teacher.
As the days slowly passed, Lumi's vigilance against him dropped by 40%.
As long as Voldemort pays more sincerity to Lumi, Lumi will definitely treat him as a real teacher.
But this teacher has to enjoy Lumi's Cruciatus Curse service every week.
And he is also very vigilant. He understands that Lumi is still vigilant about him, so he cannot be too careful with Lumi.
What's more, he is not such a person.
The days that followed were always repetitive and boring.
Except during Halloween, Lumi heard about the three Harrys fighting giant monsters in the dormitory.
But it just added a little spice to his ordinary life.
It was Christmas time when Merlin took off his silk stockings and put on wool socks.
Lumi received gifts from McGonagall and Sprout.
They are a sweet gift package and a herbal encyclopedia.
On Christmas Day, Lumi chose to go back to check out the store and boarded the Hogwarts Express.
Dang Dang Dang!
The knock on the door made Lumi look sideways.
"Mind if I sit here?"
It's Hermione.
"I think there are still empty compartments on the car. If you look patiently, you will definitely find them."
Out of dissatisfaction with Harry and Harry, Lumi also took Hermione with him.
After all, they always appear together, right?
"Lumi!"
Hermione shouted, "I think we need to talk."
"That's not necessary, Miss Granger."
But these words did not make Hermione flinch. Instead, she sat directly opposite Lumi and closed the door.
"We have to talk, about Harry."
Hearing the name, Lumi had a look of disgust on his face.
He stood up and picked up the small bag, then stood up and opened the door.
Hermione used a locking spell and successfully locked the door, preventing Lumi from leaving.
"You know, even losing a door is not a problem for me."
"Why can't we have a nice chat?"
When Hermione saw Lumi rejecting her again and again, her emotions broke out and she yelled out: "Obviously you were still good friends when we were in the car."
"Oh, I have never regarded them as friends, including you."
Lumi's words broke Hermione's guard a little.
But Hermione still didn't want to see Lumi and Harry having such a quarrel.
"Harry told me what happened that day."
Hermione organized her words and continued: "I think you are right. It was indeed Malfoy who Ron laughed at first. But Malfoy is indeed not a good person. He took away Neville's memory ball and made a date with Harry. There was a fight, but he broke the appointment, which almost caused us to..."
Hermione almost blurted out and quickly covered her mouth.
Fortunately, Lumi didn't care what they encountered next.
"Indeed, Malfoy is very naughty and even has many bad ideas."
Lumi nodded in agreement.
"But that's not why I want to reconcile with Harry."
"The fundamental reason why I don't get along with them is that they restrict my social interactions."
"Once I get back together with them, they will think I'm a traitor to their friendship any time I associate with someone they don't like."
"The most ridiculous thing is Weasley. He also reprimanded me for not being friends with Malfoy. It's so ridiculous!"
"Whoever I make friends with is my freedom, and no one is qualified to make me compromise on this issue."
After saying this, Lumi took a drink of water.
Taking advantage of this moment, Hermione hurriedly said: "Is it okay to be friends with me?"
The question surprised Lumi.
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that your Weasley friends will tell you what to do?"
"You are right, you are free to be friends with whom you want, so I want to be friends with you."
After saying this, Hermione looked at Lumi with burning eyes.
"I reject!"
Lumi didn't think twice and directly rejected her friend application.
Just kidding, suddenly bursting into the room, talking a lot without thinking, and finally wanting to be friends with yourself?
Position yourself well! The leo classmate with a vigilance level of 70%.
Seeing this, Hermione stopped asking for trouble, opened the door lock and left the car in frustration.
Lumi went home and checked the water flow in the store. After making sure there was no problem, he rested at home for two days.
After enough rest, it’s time to get down to business.
Voldemort taught Lumi how to cast the Invisible Extension Spell on the package, and now the space of his small box is equivalent to that of a warehouse.
I bought enough ingredients, put them in the box using magic, and also brought some kitchen utensils with me.
As for the Invisible Extension Spell, the opposite spell actually shrinks things.
The most interesting thing is that this magic will not be invalidated by a counter-spell if it is applied to an object.
The extension spell can make the internal space of an object larger, while the counter-spell can make the outside of an object smaller.
Lumi's box was cast by Voldemort, so Lumi didn't have to worry too much.
But Lumi really wanted to try this magic. He ordered a batch of super large packages from the Muggle world, and then under Voldemort's care, cast the invisible extension spell on these packages.
The result is that Lumi has many palm-sized bags on her body, and the space inside is very large, which is completely enough for Lumi to use.
The Christmas holiday was coming to an end, so Lumi returned to Diagon Alley and checked the store's running records. After confirming that the other party had pocketed some Galleons, Lumi did not pursue any further questions and put all the Galleons from Gringotts into the package.
The best thing about the Traceless Extension Spell is now revealed.
No matter what is installed inside, the weight of the items it holds will be greatly reduced, so that it is not particularly heavy and is super convenient to carry.
Step aboard the Hogwarts Express once again.
The trip was very quiet and no one wanted to come into contact with the withdrawn boy.
Including Hufflepuff classmates.
During this year, Lumi spent all his spare time in the library learning spells. Apart from learning magic with Voldemort, he did not have any social time.
This resulted in that apart from his roommates, only the Draco trio would greet him.
After returning to Hogwarts, Lumi's life was dull and boring.
"I have to admire your talent, Lumi."
"I have nothing more to teach you."
Voldemort patted Lumi on the shoulder happily.
The exams are over and the students have more than a week to play.
Lumi, on the other hand, took advantage of this time to come here every day to learn from Voldemort.
"But, Professor, there is another magic in the book."
Lumi pointed to the magic spell with only one name on the last page - the Death Curse.
Seeing this spell, Voldemort felt a little palpitated.
He knew very well what Lumi would do if he learned this magic.
As long as it is an offensive magic, he will use it on himself first.
There is no doubt that those magical follow-up feelings are great.
But the magic in the first half second was indeed successful.
Voldemort has never seen what the counter-curse of the Death Curse looks like.
But he knew the effect of the Death Curse all too well.
Even if the effect is only half a second, the life-killing curse will kill anyone who touches it.
As a master of Legilimency, Voldemort knew very well that Lumi was still wary of him.
Therefore, he removed the magic of Occlumency from his office entirely.
Afraid that one day he would see that he was already very trustworthy in Lumi's heart, so while he was relieved, he sent a life-killing curse to him.
