Chapter 921: Battle of Hogwarts

When Fred and George found Kyle in the hallway, he was busy looking for the junior students.

No one knew who had leaked the news, but the students knew about the rumor that Voldemort was coming to Hogwarts before they evacuated the school.

So, some students with a strong sense of justice decided to stay and live and die with Hogwarts.

They tried their best to slip out of the evacuation team and hide in every corner of the school. The professors were busy sending most people away and had no time to find them one by one.

So the task of finding them out fell on Kyle, the most idle person in the whole school.

When Fred and George came over, he was followed by three little guys with their heads down.

"It's fine if the fifth and sixth graders want to stay, but why are you second graders joining in the fun?" Kyle said with a dark face: "You are not even as tall as the Death Eaters' legs. What can you do if you stay..."

"Poke their butts with your wands..." A childish voice said softly: "My wand is made of iron birch, which is very hard."

"You have ambitions." Kyle gave a thumbs up, "but you still can't stay."

"Why!"

"Because I am a professor, I have the final say!" Kyle kicked them one by one to Professor Sinistra who was waiting at the gate of the castle.

The astronomy professor will take them to Hogsmeade later.

Although the Knight Bus has left, Professor McGonagall has also prepared another way to leave here.

The older ones will be apparitioned and taken away directly by the shopkeepers in Hogsmeade, while the younger ones will ride the Cornflower Broomstick.

The process may not be so comfortable, but the Knight Bus is not much better, it's all the same.

"Hey, Kyle!" Fred greeted him, but before he could say anything else, he was pulled over by Kyle with shining eyes.

Finding someone in Hogwarts... This is a job tailor-made for Fred and George. They know where to hide people.

This is indeed the case. With the addition of Fred and George, Kyle's work efficiency has increased several times, and he quickly found the few people left in the castle.

Ginny was among them. She was also not yet an adult. Fred and George wanted to let her go, but unfortunately, Mrs. Weasley happened to come over.

"You are not old enough!" She frowned at Ginny and said, "I don't allow it."

"Why can Ron!" Ginny shouted unwillingly.

"He is an adult, but you are not, so you must go home!" Mrs. Weasley said, grabbing her arm.

Ginny struggled to free herself from her mother's hand.

"No, I'm from Dumbledore's Army..."

"...That's just a gang of teenagers!"

"That's also a gang of teenagers preparing to compete with You-Know-Who." Fred tried to say a few good words for his sister, "Others don't have the courage to do that."

"Shut up, she's only sixteen!" Mrs. Weasley turned her head angrily, "She's still too young, what are you two thinking... You actually teamed up to hide it from me!"

"Oh, Mom, it's none of my business." George decisively betrayed Fred and bought himself a moment of peace.

Kyle didn't even look at them, and squeezed past Mrs. Weasley without looking away.

"Oh, I almost forgot that Professor McGonagall seemed to have something to do with me."

"I'll go with you!" George hurriedly followed.

At this time, of course, whoever can survive is the best.

Brotherhood? That's not important.

...

The two went back downstairs again. Just now, there seemed to be a lot more people here.

The enchanted ceiling of the hall was dark, flickering with faint starlight. There were many people with messy hair and travel cloaks sitting at the four long tables below.

They all seemed to be graduates who had hurried back after receiving the news. Some were expecting, some were nervous, but those who were willing to come back to Hogwarts at this time had made great determination.

Professor Sinistra went back and forth, almost becoming the busiest person among all the people present.

"Kyle, what should we do next?" George asked eagerly, mainly because he wanted to find a reason to leave the castle now, so as not to be retaliated by Fred later.

"We..."

"It seems that I am not late." A voice interrupted Kyle.

Two beautiful witches were standing side by side at the door of the hall.

"Kanna?" Kyle blinked, thinking that he had seen it wrong, "Why are you..."

"Is it strange to see me?" Kanna and Fleur came over and asked.

"To be honest, a little bit." Kyle said.

He had guessed this situation. Connor's character meant that she would not stand idly by and watch Voldemort's affairs. She would definitely come back.

However, their battle this time was almost improvised. Before this, everyone thought that Voldemort was still looking for the whereabouts of the Ravenclaw crown, and no one thought that he would come to Hogwarts.

If Fred and George had not spread the news as soon as possible, few people would come at this time.

However, Connor and Fleur were in France. Even if they received the news, this time seemed to be not enough.

"We came back a long time ago." Fleur said, "After Dumbledore's funeral"

"What?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "Why don't I know."

"Because you have been in Hogwarts all the time." Fleur said.

"Connor believes that after Dumbledore's death, Britain will definitely not continue to be peaceful?

"Sure enough, she guessed right. It's only been a short time, and the dark wizard is about to attack Hogwarts."

Kyle looked at Connor.

But she looked a little absent-minded, looking away, as if looking for someone.

"Kyle, have you seen Uncle Severus?"

"No." Kyle said, "I was busy evacuating the students, and I didn't see Professor Snape... Well, he might have gone to Hogsmeade and used Apparition to send the students away."

"Okay." Connor nodded, without any doubt, and soon joined the team of graduates.

...

At the same time, Harry, who was still on the eighth floor, asked the same question.

"Snape, he was driven away!" Ron said with joy, "Professor McGonagall found the Dark Mark on his arm, and he also revealed his cards and admitted that he was a Death Eater. The two fought a big battle, and finally he broke through the window and ran away."

"Ha, I knew he was a Death Eater!" Harry said, "It seems that my decision was right."

"That's right." Ron smacked his lips, "You don't know what Snape did after becoming the headmaster. He wanted Death Eaters to teach us, and even wanted to lock all the students in the common room."

"Fortunately, Professor McGonagall discovered his identity in time." Hermione couldn't help but say.

"It's a pity that he still ran away." Harry sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Ron said, "Death Eaters are always good at running away."

"That's right..."

"I know you are preparing to resist!"

Harry's words were drowned out by another voice that resounded throughout the castle. The voice was high-pitched and cold, and it was hard to tell where it came from, as if every brick and stone in the castle was talking.

"Your efforts are useless. I don't want to kill you or bleed wizards."

Everyone fell silent.

Some people in the hall turned pale, and everyone was under great pressure.

Although everyone had made the decision to resist Voldemort, fear still occupied their minds in an instant after hearing his voice.

"Hand over the crown, and I will keep all of you safe...Hand over the crown!"

Voldemort's voice had become a little hysterical at the end, and he had obviously lost his patience.

Then...

"Buzz..."

It seemed that something vibrated, and the entire ceiling was illuminated.

That was the impregnable spell that the professors had arranged in advance, which took effect and blocked a spell that was rushing towards him.

Kyle quickly left the hall and came to the outside of the castle.

Through the illuminated sky, Kyle found that Hogwarts was full of Death Eaters. They all wore the same black cloaks, like a huge dark cloud covering the sky.

No wonder he came so late, it seemed that he should have called someone.

However, the professors seemed to have received the news in advance and were not surprised.

The first spell did not work, but it seemed to be just a signal. The next second, thousands of spells fell like raindrops.

Lights of various colors kept flashing in the sky, and the area around Hogwarts was as bright as day.

Professor McGonagall stood in the front and made a battle plan in an orderly manner. She, Flitwick and Sprout led the battle team to three commanding heights respectively... Ravenclaw Tower, Gryffindor Tower, and Astronomy Tower.

Those three places have a wide view and are more suitable for casting spells.

"Lupin, Arthur, you take some people to the venue... We also need someone to check the entrances to the various passages in the school. The Aurors checked it last time, and I suspect the Death Eaters also know it."

"It sounds like our job." George said with a smile, "I have to find Fred quickly. See you later, Kyle."

He turned and ran, and Fred just came down the stairs.

The two quickly called up a few familiar Gryffindors and scattered them in various corners of the school.

Everyone got their respective tasks, except Kyle... He was forgotten again.

But it's okay this way.

Kyle sat on the side and watched with his flying broom as if nothing had happened.

At this time, a beetle suddenly fell on a stone in front of Kyle and turned into a witch.

"What on earth did you do!"

"Why did the mysterious man and the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts in a big way!"

Rita Skeeter was almost crazy. He just wanted to find Kyle to fulfill his promise... the exclusive report he promised.

As a result, he was fine when he came, but he couldn't go back!

Now Hogwarts is almost surrounded by Death Eaters, which surround Hogwarts in the middle. Not even a beetle can escape.

"This has nothing to do with me." Kyle shrugged, "You can see that we are just passively defending."

"You..." Rita Skeeter suddenly thought of what Kyle said before.

So that's all true?

That crown can really attract Voldemort... Otherwise, why didn't Voldemort show up all this time, but after she used special channels to send out the report about the crown, he came directly to Hogwarts.

Another thing, Kyle didn't change his appearance when he was in the tavern before, so she specially attached a high-definition photo, and this was also Kyle's request, including the photo was provided by him.

Why did it need to be kept secret when they were in Diagon Alley for the first time, but not now? There must be some connection between them that she doesn't know.

Rita Skeeter stared at Kyle, wanting an explanation.

But Kyle just spread his hands, obviously not ready to satisfy Rita Skeeter's curiosity.

In fact, the photo was his hint to Voldemort, and the purpose was to let him know who took the crown.

Kyle felt that his name still had some weight in Voldemort's eyes. He had caused trouble for him before, and he was also a person who stood on the side of Dumbledore.

Voldemort would be nervous if such a person held a Horcrux, and he would subconsciously think of other Horcruxes and determine their situation.

Voldemort knew Dumbledore too well. He knew very well that when Dumbledore knew the secret of the Horcrux, he would definitely track it down until they were all destroyed.

In this case, the exposed crown was not important. He had to determine the situation of other Horcruxes first.

When he ran around and found that all the Horcruxes were destroyed, he would naturally come to Kyle.

After all, a Horcrux is equivalent to a life... The diary, the crown, the golden cup, the locket, and the resurrection stone are all gone, which means he was killed five times.

As for who killed him... Voldemort's first thought was naturally Dumbledore, but Dumbledore was already dead, so his hatred naturally shifted to Kyle.

Harry only killed him once and was hated for more than ten years, not to mention Kyle who killed him five times. Can Voldemort bear this breath?

If he could, he would not be called Voldemort, so he came with the intention of revenge for himself... and a certain fantasy.

It is not difficult to see from what he shouted just now that he seems to still hope that the soul fragment in the crown is fine.

But Voldemort didn't think about it. The crown has become so new, how could it possibly preserve his dirty soul.

Kyle couldn't help laughing, which made Rita Skeeter even angrier.

"Isn't this just right?" Kyle said with a smile: "The final battle with the Death Eaters, is there any news more explosive than this?"

"You are the only reporter on the scene, don't you understand what this means?"

Kyle's voice was light and fluttering, as if it had some kind of magic, and Rita Skeeter began to tremble all over.

The final battle with the Death Eaters...

Yes, there is no news more explosive than this, not even if Dumbledore suddenly resurrected.

She got rich!

Rita Skeeter's breathing began to speed up.

Getting rich does not refer to those useless Galleons, but the honor brought by publishing this news. No matter who wins or loses, her name will be a household name.

"Even if this matter is dangerous, it's worth it..." Rita Skeeter clenched her fists.

But she soon calmed down, because there was still one important thing missing. Without that thing, everything she thought just now was in vain.

"Well, this is for you." Kyle took out a brand new camera and handed it over. "I guess you don't have this, right?"

"How do you know?" Rita Skeeter's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Indeed, what she lacked was a camera. Without photos, no matter what she said, it would be a little lacking, and people would not believe it.

"Oh, how did you get this!" Rita Skeeter was already somewhat incomparable, holding the camera tightly with her hands painted with red nails.

"This is my collection, French goods, very valuable." Kyle glanced at her and reminded her: "Be careful, don't break it for me."

"Don't worry, it will definitely not break!" Rita Skeeter said. She secretly decided in her heart that she would not let this thing be destroyed by the Death Eaters later, even if she was a meat shield to resist the spell.

"Also, I want half of the proceeds from this report." Kyle continued.

"...Okay..." Rita Skeeter agreed after thinking for a moment, "But there is one thing, the proceeds can be divided equally, but my signature must be the first."

"That's no problem." Kyle nodded.

What he wanted was Galleons, so he and Rita Skeeter both got what they wanted.

Soon, Rita Skeeter turned into a beetle again and disappeared into the night.

Kyle did not ask her where she was going, nor did he invite her to join Hogwarts to get the protection of the professors and the Order of the Phoenix.

Rita Skeeter was experienced in hiding herself.

"Boom boom boom!"

Another burst of brilliant "fireworks" exploded overhead, another wave of attacks from the Death Eaters.

This time, the professors' pre-arranged Solid Assurance Spell finally couldn't withstand it and was blown to pieces by the spell.

With Voldemort's order, the Death Eaters swarmed in like a tide.

Voldemort also moved, with a clear goal, and went straight to Kyle who was sitting by the Black Lake.

He had just seen Kyle, and the other party's behavior of sitting there motionless was simply provoking his nerves.

"Your opponent is me!"

At the critical moment, an old wizard with a white beard stood in front of Kyle.

"You're finally here, Mr. Dumbledore... Wait, why is it you?"

"What's your problem?" Aberforth's face was gloomy. He squinted at Kyle, "How about I leave and let you deal with Voldemort by yourself?"

"No, I'm kidding."

Having said that, Kyle still looked him up and down, looking for the possibility of a Transfiguration Spell.

Impossible, it was agreed before that he would be responsible for attracting Voldemort, and Dumbledore would be responsible for solving the problem later.

Why did they change people at this time? Aberforth... Can he do it? Don't die in Voldemort's hands.

"Don't look at it. It's either the Transfiguration Spell or me." Aberforth swung his whip vigorously, and a red-glowing whip whipped away Voldemort's killing curse.

The neat action made Kyle feel relieved.

"That bastard has other things to do, let me save your life."

"Other things..." Kyle didn't understand, "It's already this time, what is more important than killing Voldemort?"

"How do I know." Aberforth's face was also not very good, "I asked, but the bastard didn't say anything, just said... If that thing is not resolved, Voldemort will never be eliminated."

...
