Chapter 580: Directional Magic in the Department of Mysteries
Chapter 580: Directional Magic in the Department of Mysteries
Kyle thought as he followed Professor McGonagall and others through the silent hall, and soon they arrived at the campus hospital.
Filch was placed on the innermost bed, and Mrs. Norris immediately jumped on it. Viktor Krum was lying next to him.
"Professor, why is Krum here too?" Harry asked curiously. He didn't watch the game and didn't know what happened at that time.
“He hit the three-headed dog.” Professor McGonagall said softly: “If he hadn’t sent a red signal to the sky in time, he might have been more than just comatose.
“I’ve said it before, it’s enough to have Acromantula and Manticore in the maze. There’s no need to bring in a three-headed dog.”
At this time, Madam Pomfrey, who had just walked over, twitched the corners of her mouth a few times. Every time Professor McGonagall said the name of a magical animal just now, it was irritating her nerves.
Although Madam Pomfrey also knows that this is the Triwizard Tournament and there are naturally many dangers, this does not mean that she can accept it calmly.
In fact, she has never stopped complaining about Dumbledore since the beginning of the first project.
"I really hope we won't do this kind of activity next time...at least not in Hogwarts." Madam Pomfrey came over and muttered in a low voice: "Those dangerous things should not appear in school at all."
“That’s right.”
Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement, "But don't worry, the Triwizard Tournament is only held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. The next time it is Hogwarts' turn, it will be fifteen years from now. Something happened...
"If they hadn't canceled the competition." Professor McGonagall added at the end.
The Triwizard Cup was turned into a portkey and took the Warriors out of the competition venue. With such a big thing happening, and Voldemort's comeback...it's hard to say whether this event will be canceled again.
But Kyle is not interested in this. Anyway, he has already won the championship once, and it doesn't matter whether he cancels it or not.
The same goes for Harry next to him. He is already in fourth grade this year, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the next competition.
"this is for you."
Madam Pomfrey walked up to Harry and handed him a purple potion.
“You need to drink it all,” she said. “This medicine will give you a good, comfortable sleep.”
Harry took the bottle and took a few sips.
The potion worked very well, and he immediately fell into a drowsy state. He groped his way to the nearest bed, lay down on it, and fell asleep.
“Then, this is true.”
Madam Pomfrey took out another identical bottle and turned to look at Kyle.
“Thank you.” Kyle put the bottle into his pocket, preparing to drink it later when he returned to the dormitory.
Madam Pomfrey looked Kyle up and down again and saw that he looked okay, so she said nothing more.
At this time, the door of the school hospital was pushed open again, and Chris and Diana walked in from the outside one after another.
"Go quickly," said Professor McGonagall. "I think they have a lot to say to you, but this is obviously not a good place to chat."
Kyle nodded, turned and left the school hospital.
The three of them walked all the way to the courtyard outside.
"What happened?" Chris asked impatiently: "Why did you suddenly disappear when you encountered the Triwizard Cup? I remember that this was not in the rules of the game."
"It's Karkaroff. He exchanged the trophy for a portkey." Kyle said.
Then he roughly told what happened on the top of the mountain.
After hearing the news of Voldemort's resurrection, Chris' whole body trembled violently.
“Is this true?” he couldn't help but ask.
“Professor Dumbledore also saw it, and he is now talking to Minister Fudge about it.” Kyle said.
Unexpectedly, the two quickly accepted the news.
"No wonder Karkaroff would take the initiative to put the trophy into the maze." Chris said softly: "It turns out he was making this idea."
"How are you?" Diana grabbed Kyle and examined him carefully.
"I'm fine, Mom." Kyle said, "I used the phoenix feather. Professor Dumbledore came, and he pushed Harry and me out of the battlefield immediately."
“And I also have this...” He opened his hand, revealing a ring.
Diana breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Voldemort's name just now, she actually forgot about it.
The magic on this ring allows Kyle to apparate at any time. It can be said that as long as he does not go to a special place like Hogwarts, he can escape immediately. "I don't even know that the trophy has been changed. What are you referees doing?" Diana pointed the finger at Chris, "And Dumbledore actually allowed Death Eaters to take people away under his nose... He When did your vigilance become so low?"
Chris knew he was in the wrong and had no excuse.
If he had known in advance that this would happen, he would definitely not have let Karkarov touch the trophy, but the problem was that no one thought of it.
So when facing his wife's anger, he could only lower his head without saying a word.
Kyle didn’t speak either.
Instinct told him that if he spoke for Chris at this time, he would definitely be taught a lesson. It was better to remain silent until Diana's anger fell on him.
Fortunately, a few minutes later, an owl suddenly passed through the dark night sky and landed in front of Diana.
Unlike other owls, its eyes are blue and there are no letters on its talons.
After seeing Diana, its mouth opened and closed as if it was saying something.
But the strange thing is that Kyle didn't hear any sound at all.
"This is the mission owl of the Department of Mysteries." Chris lowered his voice and explained: "Only the Silent can hear their voices."
Kyle nodded.
At this time, the owl also closed its mouth and flew back into the night sky.
Diana looked a little irritated.
“I have to go back, and we’ll discuss your questions later.” Diana glared at Chris first, and then looked at Kyle.
“And you too, I don’t care what you have discovered before or what you think, but before the holiday, you’d better stay in the castle and don’t go anywhere, otherwise...”
Dianna squinted her eyes, and Kyle felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot instantly. He nodded quickly and said:
“Don’t worry, I’m at school and not going anywhere.”
"Very good." Diana said, her eyes became much gentler, "It's different now, so be careful..."
She stepped forward and kissed Kyle's forehead gently.
However, just when Kyle was about to say something more, he found that Diana's expression changed again.
“Tell me the truth!” she said seriously, “did you kill a Death Eater when you were on that top of the mountain?”
this…
Kyle's heart skipped a beat.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he never told anyone about this matter, including Harry, who had specifically warned him when he first came back.
And Harry also knew the seriousness of this matter, so whether he was facing Dumbledore or Sirius, he selectively ignored this and only said that Kyle used fire to drive away the Death Eaters.
But how did Diana know... Even her tone just now was not of suspicion, but of certainty.
“Come on, don’t you?” Diana asked again.
"Yes..." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Kyle could only whisper: "But it's not my fault, he ran too fast. Besides, I was just protecting myself, and the Aurors probably wouldn't trouble me..."
"If they are really Death Eaters, then it doesn't matter." Diana waved her hand, interrupting Kyle.
She frowned and thought for a moment, and seemed to get angrier as she thought about it. She glared at Chris fiercely again, gritted her teeth and said, "Look at the good things you have done!"
"I..." Chris opened his mouth, and finally sighed quietly.
To be honest, this was something he didn’t expect, and he also didn’t want Kyle to be exposed to this kind of thing prematurely.
Even if they had to go through the war more than ten years ago again and face Voldemort and Death Eaters, it would not be Kyle, a student who had not graduated.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Diana glanced at the time. "I have to go. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave Hogwarts before the holiday."
She warned Kyle again, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Kyle was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "The school's restrictions on Apparition have been lifted?"
"No, this is not apparation." Chris shook his head, "but a special directional magic that can allow the Silent Man to return to the Department of Mysteries instantly, but there are many restrictions. He can only do so when he receives the mission Owl can be used.”
