Chapter 735 Right-hand Assistant Fox (page 12)
For Dumbledore, the news brought by Kyle was a big surprise.
Death Eaters hiding in the shadows were scary, but not when they were exposed to the light.
The Vanishing Cabinet can help the Death Eaters avoid the castle's magical defenses. If they don't know it in advance, the Death Eaters can indeed use this method to take the initiative and catch them by surprise.
But now they know that the immovable disappearing cabinet has become the Death Eaters' biggest flaw.
Dumbledore was very confident that he could catch all the Death Eaters who used this method to enter Hogwarts.
What he was thinking about now was how to remove Draco Malfoy from this matter, so as to prevent their family from being angered by Voldemort.
"How can one person leave two portraits in the principal's office?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
That position was just right enough to be seen by the portraits on the wall.
As a result, various invitations would be sent out every now and then.
After glancing over it, he pointed to the Slytherin common room.
But the same could not be said for Harry and Hermione. Every time Slughorn ended his dinner meeting, he was stuck at the curfew time, and they had no time to take a detour to the kitchen.
Just as Kyle thought, Dumbledore didn't come to ask for his tea jar, and of course, Kyle never saw him in Hogwarts.
Naturally, he would not make such a stupid mistake.
If you want to use the Vanishing Cabinet to ambush Death Eaters, you must know where it is.
In addition to Malfoy, Kyle also has to deal with another person...Slughorn.
But there is no time to think about this now, he must make amends as soon as possible...
"I think so..." Dumbledore looked at Kyle with a teasing expression, and a gossipy look on his face, "There are only a few boring adults like us at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. You'd rather stay at school, right?"
After all, if the Death Eaters really wanted to attack Hogwarts, there would definitely be a lot of people coming. If all these people were killed, Voldemort would definitely be furious.
"Oh, is it so late?" He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, "I think you must be hungry too. I heard that the kitchen made fried pork chops tonight, or you want to go to Grimmauld with me? You can also go to Plaza No. 12, Molly will definitely welcome you."
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "It's a very simple trick, just use magic words to change the target from a wizard to an item, but it's very useful."
Dumbledore shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
"Besides, Kyle, I think you misunderstood me." Dumbledore continued: "I'm not asking you to look at Malfoy all the time, I'm just asking you to pay more attention and don't let some dark magic items enter Hogg." Watts.
"Thank you, Fox. I'll treat you to some mandrakes later. You can choose whatever you want!"
"Of course." Kyle said, "I've prepared it in advance."
"Here, try this."
At most, he can only play a supporting role.
Seeing Kyle agree, Dumbledore nodded.
Subconsciously, Dumbledore turned his head and looked over...
Perhaps as Dumbledore said in the principal's office, he has a lot to do.
"Kyle, the most critical question now is...do you know where he will hide the disappearing cabinet?" he asked.
"I'm very busy, Professor." Kyle said, "I am in seventh grade now, and I will take the NEWT exam in half a year. In order to find a good job after graduation, I must get enough certificates. , otherwise you should find someone else to handle this matter."
"They will keep an eye on it for me." Dumbledore said with a smile. "I have a lot of things to do recently, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to bring the map with me. And at certain special times, if it suddenly makes a sound to remind me, it will It’s a nuisance.”
He should have thought a long time ago, how could Mag appear outside the window of the principal's office riding a broom in the middle of the night? This was definitely an excuse used by Kyle to divert his attention.
Although Kyle tried his best to find other excuses, he still couldn't stop Slughorn from holding dinner parties five times a week. In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and attend a few times.
Then according to the process, everyone made a sound of exclamation together, like this every time.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Dumbledore said, "I may have to leave Hogwarts for a while. Could you please pay more attention to Draco Malfoy?"
If Fred and George had been there, they would have known at a glance that the footprints and names were unique to the Marauder's Map.
"Isn't it? It's right here." On the map, a footprint made of ink was extremely conspicuous, with the name "Vanishing Cabinet" written on it.
"But he is not the best candidate." Dumbledore shook his head, "Harry has a somewhat impulsive personality, and it is inevitable that he will be a little negligent when facing some special things."
By then the Malfoys who came up with this idea would be doomed.
But why would he fall for such a poor excuse?
It could be seen that the vanishing cabinet was still in the Slytherin common room. Perhaps he was not ready yet, or perhaps the other vanishing cabinet had not been repaired yet, but in any case, Malfoy did not seem ready to act immediately.
……
In the portrait, Phineas is still being beaten, but the sound cannot be heard...
The walk from the eighth floor to the auditorium is not a short one. Dumbledore could definitely catch up with Kyle if he wanted to.
As if for just a moment, there was only a lonely old man left in the principal's office, and the sound of something breaking.
He could not care about Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, but he could not ignore Draco. No matter what, Draco Malfoy was a student at Hogwarts.
But he didn't do that, and he didn't even chase him out of the principal's office. Otherwise, he would have snatched the jar back long ago.
Kyle has also been observing Draco Malfoy consciously or unconsciously recently.
"Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand?" Principal Dippet glanced sideways at Phineas, "Who is this kid talking about? You have no idea at all?"
Kyle made a rough estimate and found that a jar as big as this would require about 10,000 Silver Sickles to be repeatedly smelted and purified. It would be worth a lot of money.
Fawkes chirped happily, fluttering his wings and followed out without even looking at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was keenly aware of the change in Kyle's eyes, and immediately became nervous, reaching out to put away the tea can.
"Oh?" Dumbledore took a look at the map and immediately understood what was going on. "Is this name tracking magic?"
But this is good, they can have more time to prepare.
"Professor, do you need to add a reminder spell?" Kyle thought for a while and said: "As long as the position of the disappearing cabinet changes, an alarm or something like that will sound, so you don't have to keep watching."
But it is his responsibility as the principal to protect the students, not Kyle's... And whether this can be done is still a matter of debate.
