Chapter 648: What a poisonous leopard, you must be dazzled
Chapter 648: What a poisonous leopard, you must be dazzled
To be honest, Lucius actually came with anger this time. He always thought that this was Hogwarts, and Kyle would restrain himself no matter what, and did not dare to do anything to him.
But in just a few minutes, his anger dissipated and turned into an inexplicable fear.
The special sweet smell he just smelled made him feel groggy, as if he hadn't slept all day.
He didn't know what it was, it might be some kind of special potion. After all, Kyle was also very good at potion science, and coupled with the collection of books in the Hogwarts library, he wanted to prepare some weird potions. Not difficult.
But what Lucius was sure of was that if he threw away the wand a little later, no one knew what would happen.
Especially here is the Forbidden Forest, where countless magical animals are hidden. If you faint here, it is definitely a very dangerous thing... such as the mysterious roar just now.
He suddenly remembered that the gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid was keen on taming all kinds of dangerous magical animals, and he had a good relationship with Kyle.
Perhaps he was the one who provided help just now.
“What on earth am I going to do?”
Lucius calmed down and asked bluntly: "You know, what happened during the holiday was not my intention, and I had no choice.
However, I can give you a large sum of galleons as compensation to repair the relationship between us. How about twenty thousand galleons, plus two shops in Diagon Alley. "
“It’s a really tempting offer.” Kyle smacked his lips, “But I can’t have it.”
"This is the highest price I can give." Lucius said, "There have been too many things happening recently, especially what happened at the Quidditch World Cup. I have already paid a large sum of money. "
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lucius, it's not that I don't like the money, I really can't ask for it." Kyle said, "Draco and I are friends, and if I want to target him, there's no need to wait until now.
"I just want to help Fred and George. They had a reason for attacking Draco. The punishment of suspension is a bit too severe."
“So, are you really just because of the two Weasley children?” Lucius asked suspiciously.
“Otherwise.” Kyle said calmly.
"Okay, I'll go find Dolores." Lucius breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right. It's normal for classmates to have some conflicts. And I've also heard that this time it was indeed Dolores. They were rude and should not be held fully responsible."
"That's it." Kyle smiled, "Look, it's very simple, isn't it?"
“Yes.” Lucius also smiled, but it was very forced. "Then I'll go find Dolores now..."
"There's no rush." Kyle waved his hand, "Professor Umbridge is checking Professor Hagrid's class status at the moment, and may not have time."
"That's it, then I'll wait for a while..." Lucius picked up the wand on the ground, "Go back to class quickly."
“It’s okay, I asked for leave, and this class is quite boring.”
Kyle had no intention of leaving. He glanced at Lucius and suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Malfoy, I wonder if you have heard that Professor Dumbledore wants to compete for the Minister of Magic. "
Lucius' hand shook and the wand he had just picked up fell to the ground again. He quickly grabbed the wand and said calmly:
“Really? I haven’t heard of it.”
“It’s okay, you know it now.” Kyle said with a smile, “Can you do me a little favor?”
“What?” Visibly, Lucius’s eyelids twitched.
“Help Professor Dumbledore…”
"This is impossible!" Before Kyle could finish speaking, Lucius couldn't help shouting.
This situation is what Voldemort wants to see most. If Dumbledore becomes the Minister of Magic, then he will no longer be able to hide it.
If I really helped this, I would probably be killed by Voldemort immediately.
This is not a small favor, it is costing his life.
"Fudge is the most suitable minister." Lucius said righteously: "Dumbledore is still more suitable to be the principal."
"Really? Is that what you think?" Kyle shook his head, "That's really a pity. I didn't expect you to forget the previous diary so quickly, tsk tsk..."
"What do you mean!" Lucius squeezed the wand, his voice trembling.
“Is it difficult to understand?”
Kyle said, "You probably haven't forgotten that that thing is a Horcrux, and I don't need to say more about how important the Horcrux is to the mysterious man.
“As a result, the diary has been destroyed because of you. Do you think the mysterious person will let you go?”
"What Horcrux, I don't understand what you are talking about." Lucius' eyes were a little wandering.
Even though he said this, judging from his trembling arms, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"Really?" Kyle spread his hands indifferently, "In that case, I can only wish you good luck, Mr. Malfoy." "It's a pity Draco." Kyle said quietly: "No. Do you know if the mysterious man will spare his life for the sake of your loyalty?"
Lucius still said nothing, but there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
He knew Voldemort, a true Dark Lord who had no emotions, both towards his enemies and his own people.
But Lucius had no choice, whether it was to linger on, or to hold on to unrealistic illusions... at least he was still useful now, and would not be killed by Voldemort immediately, and there was still a slight possibility of making up for it.
Although this possibility is not high...but it is still better than nothing.
"Oh, right."
As if he couldn't see Lucius's rejection, Kyle continued to talk to himself: "For Draco's sake, I still want to advise you not to get too close to Minister Fudge recently, otherwise Now that Professor Dumbledore has really become a minister, it’s time to cause trouble for you.”
Lucius raised his head suddenly and stared directly into Kyle's eyes, as if he wanted to get more information.
But he could see nothing.
At this time, a burst of noisy voices gradually came from the distance.
get out of class has ended.
The voices were getting closer and closer, and they could even see the silhouette of a person not far away slowly enlarging.
“I’m going to find Dolores…” Lucius said hoarsely.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Malfoy." Kyle said, reminding him again: "Remember what I just said, stay away from Minister Fudge recently."
Lucius did not answer, but turned and left the Forbidden Forest and walked towards the castle... Obviously, he wanted to wait for Umbridge in the castle instead of going directly to find her in the Forbidden Forest.
Kyle did not leave, but used the Disillusionment Curse on himself.
Soon, the students who had finished class left from the side without anyone noticing him.
After the last Umbridge and Hagrid had left, Kyle lifted the Disillusionment Curse and walked out from behind a tree.
He took out his box from the deformed lizard skin bag, put it in his hand and opened the lock.
A dark figure jumped out of the bushes nearby with a whoosh and got straight into the box.
After doing all this, Kyle closed the box again and put it into the leather bag.
“Oh my God!”
However, at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind.
Hagrid didn’t know why he left and came back again, and returned to the Forbidden Forest again. At this time, he was running towards this side very quickly.
But after running over, he suddenly froze.
“Kyle...why is it you?”
"Of course it's me, Hagrid," Kyle said. "Has anyone else come to the Forbidden Forest?"
"Ah, no." Hagrid shook his head, and then asked suspiciously: "Did you...see anything just now?"
“Is there anything I should see?” Kyle asked.
"I don't know if it's an illusion." Hagrid said hesitantly, "But I seemed to have seen a poisonous leopard just now. It's so beautiful."
"I think you must be dazzled." Kyle said with a smile, "How can there be a poisonous leopard in the Forbidden Forest? It is a very rare magical animal."
“Am I dazzled?” Hagrid scratched his hair, and then looked around again.
"Yes, I've been here all the time, but I haven't seen any poisonous leopards." Kyle said firmly: "You are probably angry with Umbridge."
"I think you're right." Hagrid, who didn't find anything, looked a little disappointed, "That Umbridge is really annoying, she's always picking on my mistakes, even if I haven't done anything... It's really not good Knowing why Professor Dumbledore kept her in school.
“By the way, have you found your things?”
“Found it,” Kyle said. “The Sniff I raised ran away just now. It took a lot of effort to find it. I’m sorry Hagrid.”
“It’s okay, Xiu Xiu is just like that, always mischievous.” Hagrid waved his hand, “And the Thestral is certainly not difficult for you, is it?”
