Chapter 723 The second undercover? (page 2)

By the time Kyle returned to Hogsmeade, the sky had darkened, and the shop windows on both sides of the street were illuminated with bright or dim lights, making them appear quiet and calm.

Kyle was not in a hurry to go back to school. When he arrived, he stopped by Three Broomsticks to buy some drinks that were not available in school.

A vat of butterbeer, a bottle of pumpkin soda, and two bottles of cherry soda, Conner's favorite.

After Kyle finished ordering, he waited nearby.

Although it was not a visiting day, there were still many people coming to the Three Broomsticks. The bar was so full that there was no room left.

Not far away, two wizards were drinking and complaining about their current situation.

It can be heard from the conversation that they have been afraid to go to the Leaky Cauldron recently, so they chose the Three Broomsticks, which is closer to Hogwarts.

Everyone seemed to generally agree that Voldemort and the Death Eaters did not dare to go near Dumbledore's presence.

But this is indeed the case. At least so far, Kyle has not heard of anyone missing or being killed by Death Eaters near Hogsmeade. It is understandable that they would choose to come here to drink and have fun.

"This is what you want..."

Soon, Ms. Rosmerta came back, and the eyes of most wizards in the bar followed her. From time to time, they would giggle and drink a full glass of wine in one gulp.

This is the second benefit of coming to the Three Broomsticks. Looking at the beautiful and charming boss Ms. Rosmerta is much better than facing the old and ugly hunchback Tom. You can even drink two more glasses of wine.

"Rosmerta, another pint of mead!" someone shouted, "hurry up!"

"Wait!" Ms. Rosmerta shouted impatiently, and then looked at Kyle.

"Here's what you want." She handed over several packed bottles. "I really hope the visit day at Hogwarts can come sooner, then I won't have to face these boring people."

"They are all guests..." Kyle said with a smile, "They are here to send Galleons."

"Ha, they are just a group of cowards who dare not face the Death Eaters and just want to escape." Ms. Rosmerta curled her lips and lowered her voice and said: "Such a big thing just happened in the Ministry of Magic. Those who have the ability Who among the wizards would come to drink at this time?"

"Of course, I'm not talking about you." Ms. Rosmerta added, "Dare to run out of Hogwarts at this time is also a kind of courage, although I personally do not advocate this behavior."

"You just said Ministry of Magic, what happened?" Kyle asked with a blink, not paying attention to the second half of her sentence.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

Ms. Rosmerta didn't seem to want to reveal too much to Kyle, "You will be glad that you have stayed in Hogwarts. It is probably the safest place now. With Dumbledore here, there are no Death Eaters." Dare to break in."

"Okay." Ms. Rosmerta raised her voice, "Go back quickly before it gets dark."

After saying that, she took out a bottle of mead and threw it to the group of wizards who were still noisy.

The wine bottle swayed through the air and was caught in the hand of a wizard.

"Hey, that's the drink I ordered!"

"I got it first, you can ask for it later..."

There was a loud quarrel in the bar, but by this time Kyle had already walked out of the bar and returned to the streets of Hogsmeade.

He walked along the path to the school, passed through the gate with a warthog carved on it, and then walked along the grounds beside the black lake to the front of Hogwarts Castle.

It was almost dinner time, and several playful junior wizards were hurriedly running towards the castle.

As usual, Filch stood at the door holding a strange-shaped instrument, checking every student passing by.

It was an instrument for checking dark magic items. If anyone was carrying something dangerous, the instrument would sound a piercing alarm.

"Where have you been and why are you back so late!" Filch asked evilly when it was Kyle's turn.

But he didn't stab Kyle with the instrument like he did with others, he just walked around him to check him normally.

In fact, not only Kyle, every seventh grade student can enjoy different treatment from him.

Filch is not stupid. He knows very well that these graduating seventh-grade students are different from others. They are not afraid of anything and have the lowest respect for school rules and professors. If they offend them, they may be beaten. Suddenly.

As for why Filch knew this, of course he had had similar experiences, more than once.

"Ah, I went to Hagrid's place," Kyle said calmly.

"Hagrid..." Filch let out a disdainful chuckle.

He looked down on Hagrid, thinking that he was just a stupid guy, but Hagrid was also called Filch, and they both disliked each other.

"Have you finished the examination?" Kyle urged: "I'm still going to have dinner."

Filch glanced at the instrument that showed no response. "Go in, but I will ask Hagrid later. If I find out that you lied... just wait to be imprisoned."

"As you wish." Kyle shrugged nonchalantly. He believed that Hagrid would definitely tell this lie for him, even if they had not communicated in advance.

Kyle first went back to the common room and found a notebook he had taken from the desk drawer.

Because I haven't turned it over for a long time, there is a layer of dust on the notebook, but this is easy to solve, a simple cleaning magic can be done.

When Kyle came to the auditorium, dinner had already started. The auditorium was full of people, and everyone was chatting separately, and no one noticed him.

Kyle glanced in the direction of the teachers' bench. As expected, Dumbledore was not there.

"Where have you been?" After Kyle came to his seat and sat down, Connor couldn't help but ask: "I heard Hermione say that you met Dumbledore's Phoenix."

"Did this spread so quickly?" Kyle ate a piece of jam pie. "I thought they would keep it a secret."

"Hermione only told me," Connor said. "She seemed to be curious about what Dumbledore wanted from you."

"Ms. Bones from the Department of Legal Enforcement was attacked by Death Eaters." Kyle lowered his voice and said, "Dumbledore needs to use the special petrification ability of the basilisk to stabilize her injuries."

"Bones..." Connor thought for a moment, "Does Susan know?"

"She probably doesn't know yet," Kyle said, "but she should know tomorrow."

Susan Bones, a sixth-year Hufflepuff witch, and Amelia Bones is her aunt.

On the train to start school, Slughorn also invited her, but she stayed in the corner and didn't say much.

Connor sighed, "First Hannah, and now even Susan... I really don't know if she will leave Hogwarts too."

Hannah was picked up by her family a few days ago and has not come back until now.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Kyle comforted him and took out the cherry soda he just bought, "Here's this for you."
