Chapter 940 Chris's Proposal

Kyle sometimes had to wonder if the position of Minister of Magic had some kind of magical power.

He actually saw a little bit of Cornelius Fudge in Amelia Bones, the vigorous and action-oriented Minister.

Although only a little bit, she was indeed different from before.

But Kyle was still willing to help her.

After all, in the previous decisive battle, Amelia Bones did not hide behind to command, but always led the troops and fought at the forefront.

This is the quality that a qualified Minister of Magic should have. In comparison, her insignificant change in character is not so important.

So Kyle cooperated very well to complete this visit, trying to help Amelia regain some of her reputation...

Kyle didn't know if this would work... He was not Dumbledore, and he didn't have that much face.

But at least Kyle was sure of one thing. With his help, Amelia would not be driven out directly.

This buffer time was enough for her to do many things.

But what happened next had nothing to do with Kyle.

Only Dumbledore could change most people's views on the Minister of Magic with one sentence. He didn't have such a big face for the time being, so it was good enough to help buy some time.

After that, Kyle went to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures again, but he didn't find Chris. According to Cedric, he had been dealing with the problem of Dementors since noon.

"Dementors?" Kyle sat on the chair in the director's office and wondered, "Are those guys looking for trouble again? Haven't they learned their lesson yet?"

A few years ago, the Dementors were cleaned up once when they rebelled collectively. The number of Dementors killed by Kyle and Cedric was almost in the three digits.

Later, because Sirius Black offered a generous reward, there was even a period of heat for hunting Dementors.

In addition, Dumbledore and Newt seemed to have caused trouble for them, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of Dementors.

There may be less than 50 alive now, huddled pitifully in the old site of Azkaban.

Yes, the old site.

Since the Dementors rebelled and the Death Eaters escaped on a large scale, Azkaban has lost its original function.

After that, the Ministry of Magic did not dare to put prisoners there anymore, causing Azkaban to gradually become a decoration.

Kyle was also wondering, do those Dementors really have no memory at all?

"No, it's not what you think." Cedric shook his head and explained, "The remaining Dementors are very honest, but their number suddenly increased... from 39 to 239."

"What's going on?"

"I only know that the new Dementors suddenly appeared on the island of Azkaban."

Cedric said, "According to the director, Dementors are the collection and embodiment of all evil. As long as there are dark magic and dark wizards in the world, they cannot be completely eliminated."

"Then why is he still going there?"

"It should be to negotiate." Cedric lowered his voice and said, "I heard... just heard that the director suggested rebuilding Azkaban."

"Dad wants to rebuild Azkaban?" Kyle muttered softly, and soon figured out Chris's intention.

It's still because of the Dementors.

Since this creature cannot be eliminated, the best way is to circle them and fix them in a place away from other people.

Azkaban is the best choice.

First of all, it is remote enough that almost no one will go there. Secondly, while they are guarding the prisoners, they can also solve the food problem at the same time, so as not to cause riots due to food problems, killing two birds with one stone.

Well... Actually, this is the only way. Apart from rebuilding Azkaban, Kyle can't think of where to put so many Dementors.

Although you can kill one when it appears, there are too many uncertainties in that method, and Dementors don't appear one by one. Who knows that it is impossible to send dozens of wizards to stay in Azkaban Island permanently.

The Patronus Charm is a profound spell, and only some elite Aurors know this spell. It is not realistic to dispatch dozens of them to a deserted place at a time.

"Has the Ministry agreed?" Kyle asked.

"Not yet." Cedric said, "Many people are against the director's proposal. They think that Dementors are unreliable and propose to follow the example of the French wizard prison and use alchemical creations to guard prisoners."

"Are they crazy?" Kyle blinked, "Alchemical creations that can guard hundreds of dark wizards... Do they know how much that thing costs? Or are they finally willing to donate a large sum of gold to the Ministry of Magic?"

Kyle has never been to the French wizard prison, but he has heard of it.

It is said to be the most heavily guarded prison except Azkaban. All buildings, including walls and floors, are part of a huge alchemical product. It is said that Nicolas Flamel also wrote it.

It is not clear whether it is true or not, and Kyle has not asked, but it is certain that the French wizard prison has now achieved a curve overtaking and left Azkaban far behind.

In addition, that kind of huge alchemical product must not be cheap, and the cost required can almost be said to be an astronomical figure.

With the current financial situation of the British Ministry of Magic, it is impossible to spend so many galleons, or even lay a floor.

Thinking about it this way, rebuilding Azkaban seems to be the cheapest way.

"What is the minister's idea?" Kyle continued to ask, while getting up and walking outside the office.

He thought he might be able to help.

If you go to Amelia Bones now, she will always give you some face and listen patiently to what you have to say.

"Minister Bones probably wants to support the director." Cedric followed Kyle out of the office and said, "I'm just hesitant because of the previous large-scale prison break."

"The director went to Azkaban this time to solve this problem."

When Cedric said this, Kyle knew that he didn't need his help in this matter.

Minister Bones and Chris have the same idea. The only thing left is how to solve the problem of possible rebellion of dementors and convince others.

It's not difficult... after all, only rebuilding Azkaban doesn't require extra Galleons.

The two walked into the elevator and arrived at the splendid main hall.

"Do you want to go back to Hogwarts with me?" Kyle looked at Cedric next to him and asked, "Brothers Weasley and I have organized a very interesting recitation club, which you should be interested in."

"Huh?" Cedric was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to understand what Kyle meant.

Now that the war has just ended, the people at Hogwarts must not have recovered from the joy and sadness of victory. At this time, organize a recitation club...

Is it to praise those who died?

But... such a meaningful and positive activity is not something Fred and George can do... By the way, it doesn't go well with Kyle either.

Cedric knew his three best friends so well that he could turn his back to them without any reservation when in danger.

But when there is no danger, he will not dare to turn his back to them.

In other words, after the war, the three of them are probably the biggest danger to Hogwarts.

Cedric could not connect them with the choir no matter how hard he tried.

"Forget it, I'll stay in the ministry." Cedric shook his head and rejected Kyle's invitation.

Half of the staff were suddenly missing, and the remaining people were almost going crazy trying to ensure the normal operation of the magic world.

Including Cedric is no exception. Since his return, he has been divided into three jobs. In addition to his own tasks, he also has to keep an eye on some smugglers who want to fish in troubled waters. Occasionally, he has to guest star as a member of the reversal of incident team to eliminate certain people. A Muggle memory.

This time, he wanted to take a breather when sending Kyle out.

Cedric actually wanted to go to Hogwarts like Kyle and stay with friends, but no...someone had to do these jobs, otherwise the British wizarding world would be in chaos.

Of course, that doesn't mean it's any easier at Hogwarts, where you'll have to deal with the possible return of Lord Voldemort.

All I can say is that everyone performs his or her duties.

Seeing Cedric shaking his head, Kyle said nothing more and used the fireplace to return to Hogwarts.

In order to facilitate the families of the victims to come to Hogwarts as soon as possible, and to leave as soon as possible in case of danger, the school specially opened a floo network, which is located in the fireplace of Professor McGonagall's office.

However, because it had not been used for a long time, Kyle stirred up a lot of dust when he came out of it.

"It's you, Kyle." The person responsible for guarding here was Professor Flitwick. He waved his magic wand, and the surrounding area immediately became clean.

"How about it, the matter is finished?

"I heard that many people want to oust Bones because of the rebellion in the Ministry of Magic. This is probably why she asked you to go."

"Well, that's right." Kyle said, "But I choose to support her. As long as I publish some specific details of the war later and let everyone see that she has been fighting the Death Eaters, she should be able to restore some support. "

"The school can also help." Professor Flitwick said, "We have discussed it with Minerva. Bones is a good minister. At least she will not hold back until Voldemort is completely eliminated."

"That would allow Professor McGonagall and Minister Bones to meet more and discuss some things together." Kyle said:

"I remember that Professor Dumbledore did this at the time, and successfully helped Fudge, who was not favored by others, stabilize his position as minister."

"But Minerva is not Albus." Professor Flitwick sighed.

"But she's the Headmaster of Hogwarts," Kyle said with a smile.

"That's true."

At this time, a rustling sound came from the fireplace behind again.

Kyle knew someone was coming and left the office.

"Ah, look, this rotten, maggot-infested piece of cheese really looks like Voldemort's head."

As soon as Kyle walked out of the office, he heard a loud shouting from the corridor. It seemed that someone had dug out a piece of cheese that had been dropped in the corner for who knows how many years.

Then there was another person's voice, equally serious and full of energy.

"Don't say that about Voldemort. Voldemort's head doesn't look like cheese at all. I think Voldemort's head looks more like a house elf's butt."

Good guy, every sentence must contain "Voldemort"... Kyle immediately understood that the other party must be the person Fred and George were looking for.

But the things they said... putting Voldemort and house elves together, Fred knows how to curse.

Fortunately, they are in Hogwarts, otherwise it is hard to say whether Voldemort will come to kill them.

Kyle continued to walk forward and found that there were not only two such people.

It seemed that during his time at the Ministry of Magic, Fred and George found a group of like-minded partners.

Walking in the corridor of Hogwarts now, you can clearly hear the name of Voldemort coming from all corners, and none of them are good words.

Some of them are obviously Fred and George's style, and some are personal performances, but they are equally powerful.

I hope Voldemort can take the initiative to turn off the passive effect of the name magic, otherwise, Kyle even thinks he may be angry to death.

After all, some words make even a good-tempered person like him feel a little upset, not to mention the violent Voldemort.

Kyle returned to the first floor hall and found Connor here.

She was treating the injured with Madam Pomfrey.

Because there were so many injured people, even with Slughorn's help, the blood-replenishing and detoxification potions were not enough. Connor volunteered to help after knowing this.

She had brewed a lot of similar potions before, including healing and detoxification potions. Now she was so skilled that she could even control five cauldrons of different potions by herself, which made Slughorn stunned.

Because he could only control three cauldrons and, if there were more, they would have to be the same potion.

He didn't believe in evil and checked the quality of the potion again.

It was not the best, but it could get an O in the N.E.W.T exam, which fully met Madam Pomfrey's requirements... This was already very good.

And in this situation, efficiency is obviously higher than quality.

After seeing Kyle, Connor just waved her hand hurriedly and followed Madam Pomfrey to another place.

Kyle also saw Fred and George.

They were still sitting in the corner of the hall, trying to think of new sentences.

Not far away sat Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Because in this war, the 'savior' did not seem to play the role he should have, so Harry seemed a little deserted.

But Harry himself did not care about this, and even felt a little happy.

At this time, he was touching his forehead and talking to Ron excitedly, while Hermione was flipping through a thick book beside him, occasionally looking up at Harry with deep doubts on her face.

"You mean, there is a fragment of Voldemort's soul in your body?"

"The Dementors also sucked it out..."

"This is impossible!"

Hermione flipped through the book "Soul Spell, Expand Your Brain" in her hand, trying to find something that could explain all this.

Harry is a living person, how could he have a Horcrux?

And the Dementors, Hermione could not believe that such a creature would be so kind that it only sucked away Voldemort's soul fragments and let Harry's complete soul go.

This is not in line with common sense.

Just like a wizard who broke into the vault of Gringotts actually gave up those Galleons that were within his reach and chose a missing Nat instead.

That's a Dementor, how could it be so kind?

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.

As for what Harry said, that the Dementor didn't hurt him because it was controlled by Kell, Hermione didn't believe it even more.

She had never heard of anyone being able to control Dementors. Even the wizards who guarded Azkaban before could only communicate with them simply, not command them like commanding cruppies.

In fact, no wizard could command Dementors, and there had never been any similar records, except for this time when Voldemort attacked Hogwarts.

But this was not considered command, it was just that Voldemort freed the Dementors, and all their actions were just to absorb the good instinct.

Hermione closed the book in her hand and put it aside, and picked up another one.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"

She quickly turned to the page with the Dementors.

It has been clearly stated above. If you don't know the Patronus Charm when you encounter Dementors, don't hesitate to run away. There is no other way to deal with them.

Even the famous Mr. Newt Scamander can't do it, and others certainly can't do it.

And when it comes to Kyle, Hermione can't help but think of the time in the Screaming Cold Drink House when Kyle suddenly knocked her down with a Stunning Charm.

This made her even angrier.

"Swish... swish..." The sound of Hermione flipping the book became louder and louder, and the voices of Harry and Ron talking became quieter and quieter.

Kyle listened for a while in the back, but didn't disturb them, and just left the hall silently again.

…
