Chapter 492 Contract Magic
The headmaster's office was so quiet that Dumbledore looked at Kyle and held back his words several times.
At first, he thought Kyle was planning to use the basilisk to destroy the locket, so he didn't say anything and agreed to leave the thing with Kyle.
But he wrote and asked Newt that Kyle had never seen the basilisk even once during the holidays... and based on what Kyle just said, it seemed that the thing was still intact.
Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table and finally said: "You really gave me a big problem.
So, can you promise me that you won't be affected by it? "
"I can, Professor." Kyle said confidently: "In fact, Slytherin's locket is an extremely special existence. As long as you don't open it, it doesn't matter even if you hang it around your neck."
Although he had known it for a long time, the corners of Dumbledore's mouth still twitched a few times when he heard the name of Slytherin's Locket.
The original diary was also a Horcrux, but Kyle gave it to him as he was told. Not only did he show no nostalgia for it, he also stuffed it into Lucius Malfoy like he was throwing away garbage.
As a result, after changing it to a locket, he wouldn't even let him take a look at it.
Dumbledore knew exactly what was causing this.
But then again, he was also very curious about Slytherin's locket, a treasure as famous as Gryffindor's sword.
But after all, Kyle got it first, and even Sirius didn't say anything, so he was too embarrassed to ask for it.
"I can promise you." Dumbledore said softly: "But you must promise me to destroy it as soon as possible.
And I must remind you, don't do stupid things. Even the most precious treasure will lose its original light after being eroded by black magic. It is not worth risking your life. "
"I promise." Kyle smiled.
Before solving Voldemort's soul fragment, he really had no intention of using the locket. There is no doubt that it, like the original diadem, had been locked in the box.
But at this moment, Kyle seemed to think of something. He glanced at Dumbledore and continued:
"Professor, I think we can make a contract magic."
"What?" Dumbledore didn't understand what this meant.
"It's the kind of restraint magic." Kyle explained: "For example, if I have the idea of using a Horcrux, I will be directly blocked... I think you should know this kind of magic."
"Ah, I do know a few such spells..." Dumbledore said: "But there is no need, Kyle. I trust you completely, just like I trust myself."
"No, I just think this is safer." Kyle insisted: "And it is an added insurance for myself. If I am bewitched by a Horcrux, maybe it can save my life."
Bewitched by a Horcrux?
Dumbledore thought about it and felt that what Kyle said seemed to make sense. After all, Horcruxes were too mysterious, and even he didn't know much about them. It would be nice to add an extra layer of insurance.
"If you insist... well, have your wand ready."
Kyle took out his wand and straightened his arm as Dumbledore asked.
Then Dumbledore stood in front of Kyle and did the same thing, pressing the tips of the two wands together.
"Wait a moment, Professor." Kyle said suddenly.
"Any questions? If you don't want to continue, it's still too late." Dumbledore thought Kyle regretted it, so he took the initiative to disconnect the wands.
"No, Professor." Kyle said, "I just think that since it is contract magic, it is only fair that both people abide by it, right?"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this was what Kyle wanted to say, but he quickly came to his senses.
"Well, I completely agree with you."
"Then you..."
<divclass="contentadv">"No problem, the two-way contract spell also works on me."
Although Kyle's behavior today was a bit strange, Dumbledore didn't pay much attention.
After all, it was impossible for him to want to use any Horcrux, so he quickly agreed...
It doesn't matter anyway, just treat it as playing with the kids.
"Be ready, don't resist."
When their wands touched each other again, Dumbledore whispered a long spell, seemingly formulating the contents of the spell.
It was very long, and it took about 2 minutes to end. When Dumbledore finished reading, a golden thread emerged from where the two wands met.
The silk thread fluttered into two halves, and spread along the two wands to their wrists, connecting end to end, like a delicate bracelet.
The next second, Kyle felt a sudden burning pain in his wrist, but it disappeared instantly.
When he looked over again, there was already a circle of symbols composed of golden magic patterns.
The magic pattern was very small, and before Kyle could see what it meant, it disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Kyle tried to move his wrist, but there was no discomfort at all.
"Okay." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't have any impact on you, and you can come to me to lift this restraint at any time."
"Can't I solve it on my own?" Kyle asked: "It will end with all the curses."
"No." Dumbledore explained, "Contract magic is different from the spells we usually use. Whether it is used or lifted, the person related to the magic must be present at the same time."
Kyle nodded and looked at his wrist again.
"So you may think I'm a bit verbose." Dumbledore put away his wand, "But I still want to advise you to destroy it quickly.
"I myself have some achievements in alchemy. Maybe I can help repair the damaged Slytherin locket... Of course, the premise is not to use the Fire Curse."
"I'll do it as soon as possible."
Kyle didn't say the specific time, because it depends on when Nicoléme's letter arrives...if he doesn't run away with the crown.
At this moment, Kyle suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecue, and at some point, a sumptuous lunch suddenly appeared on the table behind Dumbledore.
"Oh, I actually have my favorite honey steak today..." Dumbledore said happily, "Do you need to ask the kitchen elf to prepare one for you? Or would you rather have lunch with your friends? Bar."
"No, professor, I'll just go to the auditorium." Kyle turned around in a hurry, opened the door and ran out.
Dumbledore sat down at the table and thought of Slytherin's locket again...
When he thought that this was something left by Salazar Slytherin, he felt itchy in his heart. This was also the instinctive reaction of an alchemy enthusiast.
No, we still have to find a way to deceive that thing... borrow it for a few days to study, but what excuse should we use? Kyle is not easy to fool...
Dumbledore looked at the honey steak in front of him in a daze.
How about... exchange it for Fox's feathers?
A certain phoenix that was napping on a branch suddenly woke up, fluffed its feathers, and looked around suspiciously.
……
