Chapter 612: the truth
Chapter 612 The truth
“How could they say that about Sirius.”
After lunch time, Kyle was passing by the stairs when he suddenly heard Harry shouting angrily at Professor McGonagall.
“Deliberately harming students, suspected of being a Death Eater? How is this possible? He is a phoenix..."
"Potter!" Professor McGonagall snapped, interrupting his next words, "This is a decision made by the Ministry of Magic, and we must cooperate."
"But..." Harry also knew that he said the wrong thing, but he was too anxious.
It was really hard for him to accept that Sirius was taken away inexplicably and got involved with the Death Eaters.
“But Professor, hasn’t he been acquitted?”
Professor McGonagall moved her mouth, and after a moment of silence, she said: "I can only tell you that things are not what you think... In short, Principal Dumbledore will solve this matter. You just need to prepare well and finish this year." Just take the O.W.L. exam.”
Harry wanted to ask more questions, but Professor McGonagall simply left.
When Harry didn't get an answer, he slammed the stair railing, while Ron and Hermione looked at him worriedly.
Kyle's expression changed. It seemed that there was something hidden about Sirius being taken away...
Driven by curiosity, he decided to ask Dumbledore.
So that afternoon, after the last section of History of Magic ended, Kyle came to the eighth floor, in front of the gargoyle stone beast.
“Mao Mao Ya Mint Candy…”
“Pepper naughty boy…”
“Treacle cherries!”
On the third try, the statue finally moved, stood up and jumped to the side, revealing a passage behind it.
The password for the principal's office is not difficult to guess. All you need to do is read the product list of Honeydukes. Usually they are some of the best-selling products or new products.
When Kyle pushed open the oak door at the back of the passage and walked into the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was sitting behind the desk writing a letter.
After hearing the noise, he looked up and said, "I thought you would come to me at noon."
Dumbledore put down the quill in his hand, "Is it about Sirius?"
“So be it,” Kyle said. He came to Fox and rubbed the feathers on his neck.
"What happened? It can't be because a student was injured in his dueling class."
"There is a reason for this." Dumbledore said. "Some parents wrote to me last year, accusing him of being a little extreme in his teaching methods."
"But it's more of another reason..." Dumbledore paused before continuing: "I received news that Peter Pettigrew was dead, and someone saw a **** dog near Azkaban at that time. ."
“Peter Pettigrew is dead?” Kyle said in disbelief, “Could it be false news?”
"No." Dumbledore shook his head, "I have confirmed it, that is indeed Peter."
"when."
‘A week ago,’ said Dumbledore.
“That can’t be Sirius.” Kyle said firmly: “School had already started and he was at school all the time.
Although he was indeed the one who most wanted to kill Peter Pettigrew, he wouldn't risk it with Harry around. "
"I thought so too, but the Ministry of Magic didn't believe it. They insisted that I was helping Sirius hide it."
Dumbledore folded the parchment in his hand twice and put it into an envelope.
"What about the Death Eaters?" Kyle continued to ask: "I heard that the reason why Sirius was taken away was related to the Death Eaters."
"I don't know about that. Maybe it was something Peter Pettigrew said before that caused him to misunderstand." Dumbledore said.
He put the written letter on the table. Fox bumped Kyle with his head, then grabbed the letter and flew out of the window. Kyle was a little surprised. In the wizarding world, there were not many people who could let Dumbledore use Fawkes to send messages.
Is it for Nico? he thought to himself.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." At this time, Dumbledore suddenly said: "Although what you did in the auditorium was very satisfying, I have to remind you that this new Umbridge The professor is not as generous as other professors.
"Professor McGonagall also has the same idea as me. She thinks you'd better pay more attention and don't get caught."
"It doesn't matter, I have a way to deal with her."
Kyle didn't seem to care much about Dumbledore's reminder.
"But speaking of this..." He glanced at Dumbledore, "Professor, you must have remembered what we discussed in the Pig's Head pub before."
“Yes...I haven’t forgotten.”
Dumbledore's fingers trembled, and his tone became a little helpless, "In fact, I have met with Amelia recently, as well as Barty, Arthur, your father Chris, and two days ago. Doug had a drink at the Leaky Cauldron.”
“Then there’s no need to worry,” Kyle said.
Just as he was about to go back to the auditorium for dinner, he suddenly thought of another thing and turned around and asked:
“Professor, can you tell me your plan?”
“What?” Dumbledore didn’t seem to understand.
"You were expelled from the Wizengamot to confuse Fudge and You-Know-Who's plan." Kyle said, "I noticed that the number of people voting was much different.
“Of course, if it’s inconvenient, forget it.”
"this…"
"There are some things that you may not know very well..." Dumbledore suddenly became hesitant, and his tone also revealed some inexplicable embarrassment.
“Whether it is the Wizengamot or the International Federation of Wizards meetings, it is impossible for everyone to be present.
“For example, a potion master will not leave the room no matter what when he is brewing certain precious potions, and the same is true for certain magic experiments.”
“So you were really fired?”
"Ahem, you can't say that." Dumbledore fiddled with the silverware on the table. "There are still advantages...those positions take up a lot of my time. After these burdens are relieved, I can concentrate on them. The most important thing at hand.”
"Okay, I understand." Kyle turned around and opened the oak door, "Well, goodbye, Professor."
“Next week’s password is Lemon Olaf, so you won’t have to guess next time.” Dumbledore said. “Good luck to you.”
“Same to you, Professor.”
After leaving the principal's office, Kyle went directly to the auditorium.
At this time, dinner was about to begin, and the auditorium was full of people.
Kanna left a seat for him. After Kyle sat down, he happened to hear Cedric discussing with Mikel about recruitment for the team.
Last year the team was short of a position, and this year two more people graduated, so they have to recruit a total of three people.
A keeper, a chaser, and a batsman.
“The time is nine o’clock on Saturday morning.” Cedric said, “Because there are more new people joining this time, I hope you can all come and see if the new people can cooperate better with everyone.”
"I have no problem." Mikel said, "It would be better to have a senior hitter. The second-year rookie is too young and not powerful enough."
Kyle shrugged nonchalantly. He doesn't have much request for his next teammates, as long as they don't hold them back.
"It will be no problem." Cedric said expectantly, "I really hope the Quidditch game can start soon. We have Kyle's Firebolt this year. Even if there are more newcomers, other colleges will not be ours. opponent."
