Chapter 760: The battle in the castle, the confident Death Eaters
Chapter 760 The battle in the castle, the self-confident Death Eaters
“Oh my God, Fenrir Greyback!”
Professor McGonagall walked over and saw the werewolf nailed to the wall and struggling.
“You did this?”
"No, it's Kyle." Cedric said quickly, "He also saved me."
"Well done, you have solved a big problem for the wizarding world." Professor McGonagall's tense face finally showed a smile. She came in a hurry just because she heard that Greyback was here.
Greyback is probably the most feared and disgusted werewolf, because he likes to bite children, so that they have to grow up in a dark and lonely environment, growing up with hatred for normal wizards.
For most wizards, even facing a werewolf as a child is an extremely dangerous thing. Even if the child's parents can accept it, other wizards will not accept a werewolf child.
In this way, when those werewolf children grow up, they will spontaneously fight with him against the wizards who once hated and rejected him.
Greyback believes that as long as there are enough werewolves, they will be able to conquer all wizards one day, and he has been working hard towards this goal.
Including Remus Lupin, who was bitten by him when he was a child.
“Give him to the Ministry of Magic.” Professor McGonagall originally wanted to say this, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly changed her mind.
The combination of the disappearing cabinet and the basilisk, I believe no Death Eater can escape.
"Those Death Eaters, how dare they do this!" Professor McGonagall's voice trembled with anger.
I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t graduated yet, but Professor McGonagall and other members of the Order of the Phoenix always treat him as someone to be protected.
"But now..." Kyle paused. He listened to the constant explosions around him, spread his hands and continued: "Things seem to have changed in ways we didn't expect."
“Because I gave it to Draco Malfoy,” Kyle said.
“How do you know about the Vanishing Cabinet?” Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment.
“Okay…” After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall stopped chasing Kyle.
Kyle blinked, as if it was the first day he met Professor McGonagall.
According to the normal trajectory, Lu Ping would be locked up in a small place, maybe an attic or a basement, unable to go out, have no friends, and not be able to go to school, so he would grow up slowly in loneliness.
Kyle sighed, feeling that the changes in the Room of Requirement came at the wrong time. If he could have come out a day earlier... or even an hour, Death Eaters would not have been able to set foot on the castle floor.
But fortunately, he met Dumbledore, a professor who was confident enough in himself and was willing to accept the werewolf child.
“The Death Eaters have invaded the castle.” She said quickly: “At first when Sirius told me the news, I thought he was making a bad joke, until I received a message from Principal Armando.
Professor McGonagall finally realized after being reminded by Kyle that Kyle had just killed Fenrir Greyback by himself, and according to Cedric, the whole battle was very easy.
She staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kyle helped her in time.
Even though he bought time for the students to return to the common room, Kyle still felt an indescribable feeling. After all, he had been going to the Death Eaters from the beginning.
But these words caused an uproar in Professor McGonagall's heart.
This is the plan he has been thinking about for so long?
Unfortunately, not all children who have been bitten are as lucky as Lupin.
But then again, as Death Eaters, it seems to be normal for them to do this.
Professor McGonagall turned the spear into a cage and turned to leave.
After that, he met James Potter and Sirius Black.
“Professor, the Death Eaters just came in like this?” Kyle asked: “Did Phineas Black tell you about the Vanishing Cabinet?”
But this is not what Kyle cares about.
Is this the real Head of Gryffindor?
Honestly, Kyle can't think of a better solution than this.
“Professor McGonagall, what should we do with him?” Kyle asked.
“It just so happens that some of them are my former students. I will find time to write to them.”
But now…
He didn't expect that not only were the Death Eaters not wiped out, but they even invaded the school. How did Dumbledore arrange it? This was different from what he thought.
“You mean to say that the person who cooperated with the Death Eaters to enter the school was Draco Malfoy?” Professor McGonagall’s voice suddenly raised, “And what do you mean by the vanishing cabinet you gave him?”
"I don't know either." Professor McGonagall said, "Come back soon..."
"Okay, Kyle, you go back to the common room quickly, we are here." Professor McGonagall stretched out her wand and poked Greyback hard. The other person fainted immediately, and then poked him again. Transformed into a ferret.
"It's hard to explain this clearly in one or two sentences." Kyle said, "In short, Dumbledore also knows about this. We had previously planned to use the disappearing cabinet to catch all the Death Eaters who had sneaked into Hogwarts."
“There is a secluded village in Cornwall that is home to children and their families who have been bitten by Greyback and other werewolves.
“Wait, Professor.” Kyle quickly chased after him. "What is going on here, Professor Dumbledore?"
Professor McGonagall didn't quite understand what Kyle meant, but since Dumbledore knew, it would be no problem.
never mind.
"I can help." Kyle interrupted her helplessly and looked at the cage.
This made Kyle frown again.
"Principal Black did mention the Vanishing Cabinet," she said, "but he said it a bit late. After we sent the students back to their common rooms, the Death Eaters had already appeared in the school. There were no Extra time to stop them."
No matter what their personalities are, at least when it comes to Lupine, they did their best and successfully pulled a werewolf child out of the abyss.
“Where is Professor Dumbledore?” Kyle asked again.
"I don't know." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Maybe he hasn't come back yet, or maybe he is somewhere else. I haven't seen him yet."
As he was talking, a figure wearing a black hood suddenly appeared from the corner of the corridor in front of the two of them. He looked like a Death Eater.
Professor McGonagall raised her wand…
But Kyle was faster than her, and a bright red light flew past Professor McGonagall's ear and landed directly on him.
The Death Eater didn't even realize what was going on. He flew backwards and hit the wall without moving.
"It seems that leaving you behind is the right choice." Professor McGonagall's pursed lips relaxed slightly.
I have to admit that in terms of reaction ability, Kyle is more than a little better than wizards of her age.
Kyle smiled and said nothing.
The two separated after they came to the corner. Professor McGonagall went to the corridor on the right, while Kyle went to the left.
As for Cedric, he had to stay where he was. This was the only way from the tower to the interior of the castle, and it had to be guarded.
Along the way, Kyle encountered two more Death Eaters, both of whom he easily eliminated, but this also proved that they were just here to make up the numbers, not core Death Eaters.
"Really, how many people have come in?" Kyle frowned and didn't bother to continue searching, so he took out the Marauder's Map.
“I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong.”
Kyle tapped it with his magic wand, and the lines formed by ink immediately filled the originally blank parchment.
Just when Kyle was looking at the map intently, a Death Eater quietly touched behind him.
Kyle seemed not to notice and continued to look down at the parchment in his hand.
The face under the Death Eater mask showed a trace of madness, and he pointed the wand at Kyle.
He had seen Kyle's portrait and knew that this student was the person Voldemort named to kill. As long as he killed him, he would make a huge contribution and become one of the core Death Eaters.
Because he was so excited, his heart beat faster and faster.
But at this moment, a sweet smell suddenly wafted over. The smell was very complex, as if someone had put a **** lollipop from Honeydukes under his nose.
Strange, why are there **** lollipops here? Did some greedy student throw them around? Really no quality!
The Death Eater felt his head getting more and more dizzy, and the wand in his hand began to become very heavy. The next second, he fell to the ground with a plop and became motionless.
Kyle still didn't look back, and just said calmly: "Remember to clean up and don't let the poisonous mist drift to other places."
A black, leopard-like creature slowly walked out from the shadows behind him.
Hearing Kyle's words, the Poison Leopard snorted unhappily, but still raised its head. Its neck quickly bulged up like an angry puffer fish.
Soon, the surrounding sweetness dissipated.
Kyle continued to look at the Marauder's Map in his hand. He had been careless just now and didn't expect that he still had such a good thing.
At this time, ink has covered the entire map, and the names of every Death Eater on it are clearly visible, and their locations are also clear.
With this, Kyle no longer has to look for it aimlessly. His eyes fell on the one closest to him, a name named Gat, but soon he saw another place.
The nearby north tower is also the place with the most people besides the four public rooms.
Dumbledore, Harry, Malfoy, Snape, Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Dolphin Gibbon, and...Maurice Oren.
They are all old acquaintances.
Kyle looked at the last name and was slightly stunned.
“Long time no see, Professor Oren.” He said softly.
It has been so long that he has almost forgotten the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who taught him a lot in first grade, so has he finally become a Death Eater?
Kyle put away the map, took a deep breath, and walked quickly towards the tower.
There were no Death Eaters blocking his way, and he soon arrived at the foot of the tower.
The spiral staircase leading to the top is blocked by a thick earth wall, which must be man-made. Mr. Weasley and Bill, Charlie, were waving their wands rapidly.
“Shattered to pieces…”
“Shattered to pieces…”
But the effect was average. Those earthen walls were very strong, and the three people's spells only made a small hole, which could not allow a person to get in.
Mr. Weasley noticed someone approaching behind him.
"Kyle, how did you..."
"Let's talk about old times later." Kyle waved his magic wand, and a golden-red flame slammed into the earth wall, as if red charcoal fire was thrown into the snow. Almost in the blink of an eye, the earth wall was destroyed. Burned through.
Kyle didn’t stop and walked in directly. The three Weasleys who were left outside looked at each other.
“This is... the Fire Curse?”
“Instant fire spell?”
Bill and Charlie looked at their father at the same time.
Mr. Weasley smacked his lips and nodded with some difficulty.
Even though he didn't quite believe it was true, the flames in front of him that were beating and twisting as if they were alive were indeed fierce.
Moreover, it is a very profound fire spell that can instantly melt the earth wall obstacles set up by the Death Eaters.
“Are we going to go in and help?” Charlie asked tentatively.
The earthen wall is gone, but the thing blocking the road now is even more terrifying.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but a part of the fierce fire was left around the earth wall. It looked like a huge fire ring. If you want to enter the tower, you must get through the fire ring.
Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stay here.
"Forget it," he said, "Dumbledore asked us to try to make some noise, but now things have completely exceeded expectations. Let's go deal with the other Death Eaters in the castle."
“But there are many Death Eaters in the tower, Kelta…”
“Hey, Charlie, you don’t think Kyle is little Ron and still needs our protection?” Bill raised his eyebrows.
"Okay!" Charlie laughed dryly, "Although it's not very friendly to Ron, it's true."
Just as they were talking, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the middle with a whoosh, passed through the "ring of fire" in the blink of an eye, and disappeared on the spiral staircase behind.
“What happened just now?” Bill asked, rubbing his eyes.
“It seems like it’s a leopard.” Charlie was a little unsure. The speed was so fast that he couldn’t see clearly.
“Why is there a leopard in Hogwarts!”
"How do I know? He may have escaped from the Forbidden Forest. Why don't you go in and have a look?"
"Hmm... I think Kyle and Professor Dumbledore should be able to handle a leopard, even if it is black."
…
On the other side, Kyle walked all the way to the top of the tower. After arriving here, the voices above could be heard clearly.
"Dumbledore was backed into a corner and lost his wand. Well done, Draco, you're even better than we thought," said a gruff voice.
"Now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore is alone. He is surrounded by us. Kill him quickly, Draco." another person urged.
Siege Dumbledore?
Kyle almost laughed. He quickened his pace again, eager to see how stupid a person could be to tell such a cold joke.
If the number of people could make up for the difference in strength, Voldemort would have been beaten long ago.
"Good evening, Gibbon." It was Dumbledore's voice, his tone was very calm, as if he was inviting that person to an afternoon tea party.
"If you're in a hurry, why don't you do it yourself, I'm here, there's no need to embarrass a child."
"No, we have an order, Draco must take action." A dull voice said, "Okay, Draco, act quickly, think about Lucius and Sissy, they are waiting to listen to your wishes What’s the news?”
The threat in this last sentence is self-evident.
"Look at you, Dumbledore. You can't even hold your wand steady." It was the gruff voice again, "I really don't understand why the Dark Lord cares about you so much."
"Oh, I'm exhausted and slow to react." Dumbledore said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "I'm over a hundred years old and I'm no longer useful, but one day... you will end up like this too. Yoshimoto of the fields...if you're lucky..."
"What do you mean by this? What do you mean by this?" The Death Eater's voice became sharp, "Hurry up, Draco, kill him!"
"Relax, don't be anxious, give the young people some encouragement." A lazy voice said: "By the way, have any of you seen Fenrir?"
"He might have gone crazy in school, that brainless beast." There was a hint of disgust in the voice of another Death Eater.
“Fenrir Greyback?” Dumbledore’s voice was a little more solemn.
"Yes, a werewolf, and a werewolf who likes to bite children." It was still the same lazy voice, "Would you like to guess how many students will become werewolves after tonight?"
“It’s a pity, Oren, that the moon is not particularly round tonight.”
"I'm sorry, I forgot," Oren said, "but Dumbledore, Greyback is far more cruel than you think, and he doesn't care if tonight is a full moon night."
"It doesn't matter, I trust the professors at school... just like I once trusted you."
“It’s an honor,” Oren said.
"Okay, stop reminiscing!" a woman said shrilly, "Do it quickly, Draco, or get out of the way!"
Kyle didn't hear Malfoy speak, and he also noticed that no one mentioned Harry.
He remembered that Harry's name was clearly on the Marauder's Map just now. As the savior and Voldemort's nemesis, the Death Eaters had no reason to ignore him.
But it doesn’t matter,
By this time, Kyle had reached the top of the tower and opened the ajar door in front of him.
Dumbledore was leaning against a wall. Opposite him was Draco Malfoy, who was shaking non-stop. The wand with its segments fell on the floor not far from the two of them.
Dumbledore was disarmed by others?
The corner of Kyle's mouth twitched, and he really felt that Dumbledore's acting was a bit fake. He was not injured now, how could he be disarmed by a student... But these people still believed him.
At the same time, the sound of pushing the door quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked over.
When he saw that the person coming was Kyle, Dumbledore's eyes suddenly opened wide in disbelief.
At the same time...I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kyle could see three parts of annoyance and seven parts of panic in his expression.
The Death Eaters on the other side almost screamed with joy.
"It's you!" The witch in the crowd's eyes flashed with bitter hatred, "We were just thinking about how to find you, but we didn't expect you to come uninvited."
“Yes, I’m here.” Kyle said, “What then?”
“Leave him to me and I will kill him with my own hands! No, I will torture him severely with the Cruciatus Curse!”
“No, he should be handed over to me,” said Antonin Dolokhov.
Both of them glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
