Chapter 952 Two Silly Boys

“What was that sound just now——·Tell me what was that sound——··

After finally regaining consciousness, Snape stood up with difficulty, holding his left hand on a tree next to him, staring at Kyle unblinkingly---to be precise, staring at him hiding behind. of something.

"There is no sound, you must have heard it wrong." Kyle looked calm.

"I will never hear you wrong." Snape also believed in his own judgment.

Although he couldn't stand up just now, when the sound sounded, his body's instinct made him turn around subconsciously.

It was this moment that allowed him to see what Kyle was holding behind his back.

"Maybe it was an owl passing by." Kyle's expression remained unchanged, "You know,

There are always a lot of letters sent to Hogwarts, but now is a special period. People who stay in the castle and people outside want to know about each other's situation. In this case, there are even more owls. "

"Then take your hand out—" Snape originally wanted to grab it directly, but he hadn't fully recovered yet. As soon as he removed his arm from the tree, his body was about to fall to the side uncontrollably. .

But even so, Snape still stared at Kyle.

He thought of the photos Kyle had given Grindelwald when he was in the box.

Although Snape had never seen the content in the photos, he remembered the series. The sound he heard just now was very similar to the sound of a camera shutter.

"Why don't you believe it?" Kyle said helplessly, and at the same time stretched out his hand behind his back and waved it in front of Snape.

"Look, there's nothing there."

Snape looked at Kyle suspiciously, then knelt and walked around behind him, standing there with a frown.

There really is nothing, not thrown on the ground, not hidden in the robe——-"·

And he could see clearly that Kyle's hand had never touched the deformed lizard skin bag, which meant that he had no chance to put the things away.

Did he hallucinate just now, or did he hear the sound of an owl?

Snape was also a little unsure.

The main reason is that the phantom movement of the Phoenix is ​​a bit too exciting, and his head is still buzzing.

It seems normal if you hear sounds that don't exist.

"What were you hiding from just now?" Snape said suddenly, as if he wanted to catch Kyle off guard.

"Ah?" Kyle blinked, as if he didn't understand at all, "What did you say?"

Snape stared at Kyle again, "Nothing, we should go back to the castle."

"Oh, inexplicable." Kyle said, turning and walking towards the castle.

Snape watched behind him for a while, and after making sure that he had no intention of turning back or hesitating, he followed him unsteadily.

"Maybe he heard it wrong." Snape thought to himself.

But if he could speed up a bit, he could see the joy on Kyle's face.

Fortunately, he didn't lock the box completely before, so that Xiu Xiu could take the camera away in time.

After all, he was an ace undercover agent who had been able to hide beside Voldemort for so many years. His reflexes were so quick that he could still notice the movements around him even after vomiting like that.

If Snape found out that he had taken a picture of him—well, it seemed like it wouldn't matter if he found out.

Kyle suddenly thought that in Snape's current state, even if he discovered his movements, there seemed to be no way to snatch the camera away.

The only trouble is that he might go to Kang Na for help.

To be honest, if Connor came to help Snape get that photo back, Kyle would really be reluctant to part with it.

The main reason is that the photo is so exciting and rare. It shows the always stern Snape twisting and crawling on the ground, and vomiting at the black lake...

When he goes back and develops it with developing solution, the resulting dynamic photo will definitely rank in the top three of his personal collection, second only to the "barn certificate" that cannot be reproduced.

Fortunately, he didn’t notice——·——·

Kyle unconsciously increased his speed and stopped at the entrance of Hogwarts Castle.

After Snape finally followed him with a deep kick and a shallow kick, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kyle.

"Leave it to me from here."

Kyle said, "Connor should be helping Madam Pomfrey in the school hospital right now. You should be able to find her there."

Snape looked at Kyle deeply, said nothing, and turned away.

"Remember to change your appearance." Although Snape was very rude, Kyle still kindly reminded: "If you go to the school hospital like this, you will most likely be kicked out by Madam Pomfrey and trigger the school's defense alarm.

"You don't want to be beaten up by Professor McGonagall in front of Connor, do you?

"Shut up, you don't need to remind me what to do." Snape said without looking back.

Watching Snape walking further and further away, Kyle shrugged.

In fact, he didn't want to remind Snape, he just didn't want to make another trip to the Ministry of Magic's temporary prison to fish for people. It was said that the environment in that place was worse than Azkaban.

At least where there are Dementors, you never have to worry about temperature issues, nor do you have to worry about things like food spoiling.

Food in Azkaban never expires - in every sense of the word.

I don’t know how things are going with restarting Azkaban.

Kyle stayed there for a while, until Snape completely disappeared into the courtyard at the corner of the castle, and then walked up the stairs.

There seemed to be fewer people in the castle than before he was taken away, and there were only a few former Gryffindor team members left in the auditorium reminiscing about old times.

Oliver Wood was talking to Harry, and Fred was laughing with Angelina Jensen.

As for why Kyle knew he was Fred and not George - it's not obvious, George never asked Angelina to dance.

"Harry, look, it's Kyle!"

Sharp-eyed Hermione was the first to spot Kyle at the door of the auditorium, and then ran over quickly.

‘Thank God——you disappeared suddenly before, and the professors were all anxious. "

"We've been looking for you, but couldn't find you either in school or in Hogsmeade."

"Oh, by the way, your father seemed to be here too, but after hearing that you were taken away by the phoenix, he went back again."

Hermione spoke very quickly, talking to herself like she was pouring beans.

Although many places sounded a bit vague, Kyle had a rough idea of ​​what happened during this period.

"It's okay, you don't need to be too nervous." Kyle said, "Fox just had a little temper. I was about to go to Professor McGonagall to explain. You continue."

"Oh, Kyle, I'm so glad you're okay."

Oliver Wood ran over excitedly and pushed Hermione aside.

He looked at Kyle, rubbed his hands and asked, "Are you interested in coming to Puddlemere United? We need an excellent chaser like you right now."

"Puddlemere United?"

"I'm the goalkeeper of this team now - officially." Oliver Wood said.

"Congratulations," Kyle said with a smile.

Oliver Wood is only in his early twenties. Being able to become an official player at this age is already a great achievement.

After all, not everyone named Victor Krum can compete in international competitions as soon as they reach adulthood.

"But forget about joining Puddlemere United, I don't want to play professional Quidditch just yet."

"That's a pity." Oliver Wood sighed, they really lacked a good enough chaser now.

"Why don't you ask Angelina?"

'I asked and it was Holyhead Harpies she wanted to join. "

"Then there's nothing we can do." Kyle spread his hands.

After chatting for a few more words, Kyle was ready to go to the principal's office, but he just took two steps when he suddenly felt someone grabbing his robe.

"Hermione?"

Kyle glanced behind him, "Is there anything else you can do?"

"No, no." Hermione pursed her lips, looking a little nervous.

"Yes, there is a problem"

“We have always been curious—no, it’s not that we are curious, but everyone is spreading the word—

"That's right, we heard that too——"

Harry and Ron next to her seemed more nervous than her. The three of them suddenly became shy and hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Kyle became a little impatient and couldn't help but urge: "If you haven't thought about it well, let's talk about it later."

Seeing Kyle turn around again, Hermione suddenly gritted her teeth.

"We just want to ask you if Professor Dumbledore is still alive——

Kyle paused.

To be honest, he was a little nervous.

Hermione suddenly asked such a question, which made him wonder if someone had pushed away Dumbledore's grave.

But Kyle soon regained his composure.

"Why do you think Professor Dumbledore is still alive?" He asked calmly: "You should have been present the day he was killed."

'I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's not impossible. "

"Why?"

"Because of the Phoenix." Hermione said, and took out a thick book, "I have read "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", in which the Phoenix only obeys Dumbledore's orders."

"So, you suspect that Professor Dumbledore asked Fox to take me away?" Kyle raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

But what's interesting is that Hermione actually guessed the truth correctly. In a sense, her observation skills are really keen and her ideas are very bold.

After all, most people would not immediately think that Dumbledore is still alive after seeing the phoenix. This can be seen by looking at Harry and Ron next to them.

Hermione should have told them her guess in advance, but they didn't believe it, so they hesitated and refused to say it.

Perhaps to them, this is like asking Snape why he can't fry eggs in the pot, which is as baffling as it is.

Hermione probably felt that way at first, but she asked anyway.

Trust your own judgment? Or just plain stubborn...

"Not really." Kyle said after a moment of silence.

"But Phoenix——"

'I think you've made a mistake. "Kyle waved his finger.

The "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that Hermione was holding opened automatically and stopped on the page with the phoenix.

"I suggest you read the above carefully again." Kyle waved his hand again and drew a horizontal line under two of the lines.

"What it says here is that the Phoenix will appear when Dumbledore is in need --- note, it's Dumbledore, not Albus Dumbledore. There is an essential difference between the two. .

,,

Hermione looked at the content above, her expression gradually becoming blank.

"The owner of the Pig's Head Bar." Kyle continued: "His name is Aberforth Dumbledore..."

"Dumbledore——..——"

"Yes, that's what you think - he is Professor Dumbledore's younger brother."

"So that's it." Ron suddenly realized, "He must be the one who asked the Phoenix to take you away.'

He turned his head and looked at Hermione triumphantly, "I have already said, how could Professor Dumbledore be alive? We have obviously seen his ghost in Hogsmeade."

Although Harry next to him didn't speak, it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he meant the same thing.

"Sorry." Hermione's face turned red, "I misunderstood."

"It's okay. Not many people know that the owner of the Pig Head Bar is also Dumbledore. It's understandable that you would think so."

"Besides, your words are actually correct." Kyle said softly: "As long as you can remember Professor Dumbledore, he will not die."

"Yes." Hermione reluctantly twitched her lips. Now she just felt embarrassed, especially when facing Ron and Harry.

Really, when she saw the phoenix, she suddenly thought that Dumbledore was still alive.

Kyle didn't explain anything about this, but just looked at Harry and Ron with disgust, who didn't care at all, as if nothing had happened.

Well, okay, it’s pretty good————

This time, no one stopped him. Kyle left the auditorium and followed the stairs to the principal's office door on the eighth floor. When the gargoyle saw Kyle approaching from a distance, he stood up and jumped to the side.

"Is Professor McGonagall in there?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, she is."

"No password required?"

"There were too many people coming to see the principal, so it was canceled at the last minute."

"All right---.-"

Kyle smacked his lips.

For a moment just now, he thought he was the only one who didn't need the password, but he didn't expect that he didn't need it at all.

But it’s understandable if you think about it. Many people will be coming to Hogwarts recently, and even the gargoyles find it troublesome. It would indeed be more convenient to cancel the password for the principal’s office.

I just don’t know if there is anyone else inside at the moment... Kyle walked up the spiral staircase at the back.

As luck would have it, the previous visitor was about to leave when Kyle pushed open the oak door.

It was a middle-aged wizard whom Kyle didn't recognize. He had a big belly and a little hair loss. From a distance, he looked like Professor Slughorn.

"Kyle, I heard from the portrait that you are back."

At this time, Professor McGonagall came over from behind the table. "You disappeared out of thin air at Hogwarts. I don't know how to explain it to Chris - but he seemed to think you were not in danger, so he just took a look and went back to work."

There was worry and a little bit of complaint in Professor McGonagall's voice.

Of course, this is not directed at Kyle, but at Chris.

Although she was caught off guard when Kyle disappeared and didn't know how to face Chris and Diana, Chris' attitude was also casual and he didn't care whether Kyle would be in danger.

"This may be because Chris knows that Dumbledore is not dead." Kyle thought to himself.

"Where did the Phoenix take you?" Professor McGonagall asked with concern.

"In a forest---maybe it's a place where Dumbledore often goes." Kyle said. He originally wanted to tell Professor McGonagall about Grindelwald leaving Nurmengard, but after thinking about it, he still didn't. explain.

Let's wait for news from Dumbledore first, maybe Grindelwald will suddenly go back to the tower later.

There’s no need to make everyone nervous by saying it now.

After hearing Kyle's explanation, Professor McGonagall felt strange, but didn't think much about it.

The main thing is that Kyle can come back safe and sound, which already adds a lot of credibility.

In addition, she didn't know much about the phoenix, she only knew that it had a close relationship with Dumbledore - maybe this was a unique habit of the phoenix.

"It's good that you're fine." Professor McGonagall said, "By the way, if you plan to stay at Hogwarts, it's best for Chris to write a letter."

"I will," Kyle said. "But Professor McGonagall, I have another thing to do here this time."

"What's up?"

"It's about Snape."

Upon hearing that name, Professor McGonagall raised her head and pursed her lips tightly.

'Do you know where that coward is?'

It could be heard that Professor McGonagall's anger level was a bit high, which made Kyle give up the idea of ​​explaining it first.

He walked directly to a cabinet where the Pensieve was placed - well, it used to be.

Kyle found an exquisite tower-shaped round table nearby, took off the top finger-sized glass bottle, and then reluctantly took out the pensieve from the box and poured the memories inside into it.

"Kyle, what are you doing?" Professor McGonagall asked, "That's Albus's memory."

"Yes." Kyle nodded, "This is the memory between Professor Dumbledore and Snape.

"I don't know what to say, but I think you should take a look."
