Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 683: Kyle and Dumbledore hurt each other

Chapter 683 Kyle and Dumbledore hurt each other

Dumbledore was very happy, especially when he saw Kyle's helpless look, he almost laughed out loud.

The cautious headmaster of Hogwarts has not forgotten the overwhelming number of owls flying over before, as well as the words in the letter teasing him about wanting to be the Minister of Magic.

He has been thinking about how to let Kyle try that feeling, because he can see that Kyle also doesn't like the tedious work in the Ministry of Magic.

However, Fudge later publicly announced in the newspaper that the mysterious man had returned, which was an unexpected surprise for Dumbledore.

He knew very well that all this was due to Kyle. After all, with Fudge's character, unless the mysterious man really appeared and gave him a wand, there was no way he would admit it.

Because of this, he had originally given up the idea of ​​coming back for revenge, but he didn't expect that Fudge would bring him a surprise that afternoon.

After seeing the Ministry of Magic's exceptional employment form, Dumbledore almost subconsciously signed his name on it, agreeing that Kyle would work in the Ministry of Magic as a student.

As he said to Chris, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there was no reason to turn it down.

 As for Kyle's own opinion, that doesn't matter.

 Dumbledore glanced at Kyle's silent expression again... I have to say, this feeling was really good. He kind of wanted to eat a piece of custard flan.

However, when he saw Kyle about to leave, Dumbledore still called out to him.

"Is there anything else? Professor." Kyle asked expressionlessly: "I have to go back and write a report."

"Are you getting into work so soon?" Dumbledore asked: "Can you tell me what it is about? Maybe I can help."

"Oh, it's very simple..." Kyle said calmly, "It's a report about cutting the salary and benefits of the Hogwarts principal. I have always believed that even the principal cannot leave the school for two months without reason."

"That's a good suggestion," Dumbledore said with a smile, as if what Kyle said had nothing to do with him.

"But there is one thing I must explain. I did not leave school without any reason. On the contrary, I wanted to do something very important this time."

Dumbledore waved his wand, and a golden ring set with precious stones appeared on the table in front of him.

 Seeing the ring, Kyle's eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh, it seems you recognize what it is." Dumbledore looked into Kyle's eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Yes, a Horcrux." Kyle said calmly: "I have seen it many times, so this one also belongs to Voldemort?"

Dumbledore did not answer immediately. He continued to look into Kyle's eyes, and after a moment he said softly: "I think there is no other person in the wizarding world who would make a Horcrux for him except him."

 “Yeah, maybe.” Kyle nodded.

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you." Dumbledore stretched out his arm, revealing the scabbed blood marks on it.

 “Are you hurt?” Kyle asked.

"This is the penalty for breaking the contract." Dumbledore said. "For some reason, I couldn't resist the temptation of this Horcrux and had the idea of ​​using it.

“Fortunately, we have made this magic contract before. If I really touch this ring, my life may be in danger.

 “It’s really shameful. I always thought I could resist temptation... You saved my life.”

"this is nothing."

Kyle shook his head and said, "Voldemort's arrogance makes him always choose those extremely precious magic props as the carrier of Horcruxes. These things may be a symbol of honor in his eyes, but in the eyes of others, , may be an irresistible treasure.

“In fact, even Nico almost couldn’t help but wear the Ravenclaw Diadem when he saw it. Professor, it’s completely normal for you to have this idea.”

"Wait, did you just say Ravenclaw's diadem?" Dumbledore blinked and looked at Kyle with an incredulous look, "So when did you find another Horcrux?"

 “Ahem…”

Kyle also realized that he had let something slip, and quickly made up for it: "Actually, I wanted to say that Slytherin's locket... diadem has been lost for nearly a thousand years, how could I possibly find it."

But Dumbledore obviously wouldn’t believe this lame excuse...

"Sometimes what is said subconsciously is the most true." He said in a complicated tone: "When did it happen?"

  "Well... not long ago." Kyle whispered: "Only a year ago."

"A year ago?" Dumbledore felt like he was punched in the chest.

Ravenclaw's diadem, this legendary magical item, is a priceless treasure that all alchemists want to see in their dreams, and he is certainly no exception.

As a result, Kyle found it but didn't tell him.

Furthermore, Nico also knew what he meant just now, but he didn’t tell him either.

 Two people colluded with each other and kept it secret from him for a whole year? Is the nearly hundred years of friendship between him and Nico so worthless?

Dumbledore recalled Nico's uninformed look when they met yesterday. He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but ask:

 “Where is the crown?”

"I don't know." Kyle said truthfully: "After I came back from Nico's house last Christmas, Ravenclaw took it to reminisce with Ms. Gray. I don't know where they are now. They may be in the castle. Somewhere in the corner."

"Ravenclaw?" Dumbledore's eyelids twitched as he seemed to think of some possibility, "Could you be talking about..."

"Yes, it's Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four giants of Hogwarts." Kyle said, "Part of her consciousness is attached to the crown. Nico and I have communicated with her, and we have gained Quite abundant.”

With a bang, Dumbledore pressed his hand on the table. For a moment, his blue eyes stopped being bright and became dull.

“Professor, are you okay?” Kyle asked with concern.

"It's okay." Dumbledore said stiffly, but quickly recovered.

Although it was a pity to miss the face-to-face interaction with Rowena Ravenclaw, since the diadem was still in school, it proved that he still had a chance.

In addition, through this incident, Dumbledore also solved a certain doubt in his heart.

Perhaps Kyle wanted to use a magical contract to bind himself out of caution. Dumbledore even felt that everyone who knew the existence of Horcruxes and tried to find them should use this method to bind themselves.

A diadem with a sense of Rowena Ravenclaw...Dumbledore couldn't think of anyone who could resist this temptation.

 But the only thing he couldn't figure out was how could Voldemort make such a precious thing into a Horcrux...unless he didn't know that there was consciousness in the diadem.

Dumbledore didn’t think Kyle was lying to him, because Nico was also involved, and he would know the truth just by asking.

While Dumbledore was thinking, Kyle had already approached the table and looked at the ring carefully.

Honestly, it looks like a cheap Muggle craft, the kind you'd buy five for a pound.

The only attractive gemstone has a small crack on it, as if someone had thrown it on the ground and broken it.

"Professor..." Kyle asked in a low voice: "You couldn't have broken it with Gryffindor's sword in order to destroy the Horcrux."

"Of course not." Dumbledore shook his head, "Although Gryffindor's sword is sharp, it cannot destroy the Horcrux. In fact, this crack exists in the Resurrection Stone itself.

I think it was when Cadmus Peverell realized that the stone could not truly resurrect people that he smashed it in anger. "

Dumbledore seemed to want to win back the victory. He told the origin of the ring in a very calm tone, and then waited to see Kyle scream in surprise, just like Snape did before.

 “Oh, Voldemort is such a loser!”

Kyle did scream in surprise, but that was all. "I think you should have read The Tales of Beedle the Bard." Dumbledore asked: "Aren't you surprised to see the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows?"

“Surprising.” Kyle said, “But I have seen another one before and studied it for a while. To put it bluntly, this thing is just a clever alchemy tool.

“Whether it’s the Philosopher’s Stone, a time turner that can go back thousands of years, or Ravenclaw’s diadem, none of them are inferior to it.”

"Have you seen it?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and subconsciously touched the pocket of his robe with his fingers.

 “Harry’s invisibility cloak.”

Kyle said directly: "When I had nothing to do, I looked through the book "Born Noble: Wizarding Genealogy" at Sirius's house. It recorded that the descendants of Peverell include the Gaunt family and the Potter family."

“Then why do you think this Potter family is Harry?” Dumbledore asked with interest.

"Because I remember Harry once said that his invisibility cloak was the one his father used when he was at school."

Kyle said, "The things that Mr. Potter used must be twenty years old, but the best invisibility cloak currently on the market can only be used for ten years. This is also the limit of the fur of the invisible beast." .

"I think Harry's invisibility cloak that can be used for so long is probably the one belonging to Ignotus Peverell among the three brothers."

"It's amazing..." Dumbledore clapped his hands, "I don't think even Harry himself realizes this."

"If he had read the wizard family tree, he should be able to know it." Kyle said, "But the book has been in his hands for two months, and he has not turned a page, and finally planned to throw it away as trash ."

"This is indeed Harry's greatest flaw," said Dumbledore.

"This Horcrux has not been destroyed yet." Kyle raised his head and said, "I suggest you give it to Nico. He can perfectly solve the problem of Horcruxes and has rich experience."

"Actually, I just came back from Devon." Dumbledore said, "But there is some kind of curse magic on this Horcrux. If it is not resolved first, Nico's approach will be useless.

"He suggested that I destroy the Horcrux by force, but I suddenly realized that I seemed to be missing a weapon...I heard that the basilisk venom you provided to St. Mungo's was a thousand galleons per pint."

"That's right." Kyle said, and then he found a small bottle filled with basilisk venom. "If you need it, I can give you a very good discount, how about five hundred galleons."

"But..." Dumbledore looked at the bottle, which was not much bigger than his thumb, raised his eyebrows and said, "There doesn't seem to be a pint here..."

Kyle said calmly: "So I gave you a discount."

"Okay, that makes sense." Dumbledore smiled and simply took out a bag and placed it on the table.

Kyle also handed over the bottle and asked casually: "Professor, how are you going to solve the curse problem in the future? Since Voldemort put it on the Horcrux, it should be very dangerous.

"More importantly, if the Horcrux is destroyed, the contract seems to be useless."

"You are right." Dumbledore nodded, "This contract only works on Horcruxes."

"Professor, I think it's better for me to keep this thing." Kyle glanced at Dumbledore's arm, "At least I won't think of touching it."

"I know what you mean, Kyle, but this is absolutely not okay," Dumbledore said softly, firmly.

"Okay." Seeing Dumbledore say this, Kyle stopped mentioning the matter of keeping the ring and prepared to leave.

Just when he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "I think you can find a Death Eater and throw the ring on him, so that the curse can be lifted.

"Or dementors. Didn't sixty of them defect to Voldemort before? Let's treat them as waste."

Dumbledore, who was thinking about something, suddenly lit up... Yes, how could he forget about those dementors.

It might be inappropriate to throw the ring at a Death Eater, but Dementors don't have to worry about it.

Those creatures are the sum total of all evil, and they are another form of curse in themselves.

More importantly, Dumbledore had found the location of the dementors some time ago, on a small island in the south.

 He had planned to deal with those dementors after the school holidays, and he happened to be on his way.

When Dumbledore raised his head again, Kyle had already left the principal's office, leaving only Fawkes still sleeping on the branch in front of him.

 Subconsciously, Dumbledore thought of Ravenclaw's diadem again, and inevitably felt another heartache.

 Instinct told him that Kyle deliberately let the news slip in order to retaliate against him for signing the employment form.

If this is the case, then Kyle succeeded, because he is indeed feeling very uncomfortable right now.

When he thought that Ravenclaw was in this castle, but he couldn't see him, Dumbledore was so depressed that he didn't even want to eat the cockroaches.

 And not just him, even the portraits on the wall were talking about it.

 Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the greatest wizards, possesses supreme wisdom and creativity. Even today, thousands of years later, no one can surpass it.

Even if he can speak a word to her, it is an immeasurable wealth for a wizard.

Hence, the principals stopped pretending to be asleep and disappeared into their respective frames in the blink of an eye.

 Then a very interesting scene happened in the castle.

 Some people noticed that there were suddenly some faces they had never seen on the school picture frames.

The first person to discover it was Gryffindor, because the fat lady in charge of their common room didn't listen to their commands at all, but talked excitedly to a curly-haired witch.

 “Hey, pumpkin soda!” Seamus shouted the command for the third time, his tone already a little impatient.

But the fat lady still had no intention of opening the door, and what was even more outrageous was that when he wanted to shout again, he was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

The Fat Lady seemed very excited. Her screams had never been so harsh. Seamus subconsciously covered his ears.

 Then he watched helplessly as the Fat Lady disappeared into the frame with a swish of dexterity that was not in line with her usual.

In the corridor, five or six Gryffindor students looked at each other, wondering how they were going to get in now that the Fat Lady was gone.

"Please, don't do this..." Neville shouted desperately, "I've been waiting outside for an hour!"

It's a pity that the fat lady didn't know which frame she was in, and she couldn't hear his voice at all.

 Fortunately at this time, the common room was suddenly opened from the inside.

Harry seemed to be in a hurry and ran out in a hurry, followed by Ron and Hermione.

"Oh, thank God, you guys..." Neville just wanted to say thanks when the three of them disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"They are always like this, mysterious and don't know what they are doing." Seamo said with surprise. He grabbed the door that was about to close with quick eyes and hands. "Okay, let's go in. I hope the Fat Lady can come soon." When I get back, I don’t want to be stuck in the common room for the next few days.”

 After saying that, he took the lead and got into the back passage.

Upon seeing this, Neville quickly followed.
