Chapter 762 The rescued Death Eater (page 12)
Even though it was very late now, at the professor's request, everyone left the common room and went to the auditorium.
Everyone gathered together and chattered about what had just happened.
Although each of them stayed in the common room according to the professor's request and did not see what happened in the castle with their own eyes, they were aware of the movements.
For example, Ravenclaw, who was relatively close to the tower, could clearly hear explosions and roars.
In addition, Gryffindor also saw the bright firelight outside through the window, as well as the Dark Mark floating above the castle.
Now, these messages are spreading among everyone at an incredible speed.
In addition, there are always a few well-informed people among the students, so in less than twenty minutes, the news of the Death Eaters' attack on Hogwarts spread throughout the entire auditorium.
Unprecedented panic enveloped everyone's heart,
Everyone thought that Hogwarts was the safest place before, but they never thought that one day Death Eaters would appear in this castle.
The only good thing is that no one was attacked this time. Only one Gryffindor accidentally fell down while going downstairs, and everyone else was safe.
"Everything I said is true," the man said. "The Death Eaters came in the early morning. The principal must have fallen asleep at that time, so he didn't know."
"But what I want to say is that all the Death Eaters have been driven away, and please rest assured that as long as I am still in school, this kind of thing will never happen again."
……
"Who told you that Death Eaters came to the castle? They went to the school hospital."
The next day, the common room, which was a mess last night, had been cleaned up by the house elves.
"Really? How is it possible?" The witch opposite him looked unbelieving. "Principal Dumbledore and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were here last night. How dare the Death Eaters come back."
Everyone is here.
Many people had already stood up, but they heard Dumbledore suddenly say: "Here, I would like to add one hundred points to Hufflepuff in recognition of Kyle's heroic performance in the Death Eater attack just now... …He saved my life, by the way.”
The auditorium was quiet, with no objection at all.
"Do you think this is possible?" Kyle said calmly, "If a few Death Eaters can kill Dumbledore, then Voldemort, who has been hiding from him and dare not come out, doesn't matter. He might as well change his name to Puff Rong. Yes, or Bowtruckle will do."
In an instant, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Kyle.
"Please be quiet," Dumbledore shouted, barely able to cover the voices of so many people.
Professor McGonagall next to her subconsciously straightened her body. She originally thought that this decision would arouse the dissatisfaction of many people, but unexpectedly, everyone seemed to accept it and willingly.
The only problem was that Kyle had to explain again and again that he didn't save Dumbledore and that it was all a joke on the part of the Headmaster, but not many people believed it.
"I'm sure some of you already know what I'm going to say...yes, just an hour ago, Death Eaters broke into this castle."
Kyle originally thought that Dumbledore would ask him to go to the principal's office, but he did not receive any message until the banquet was over.
In any case, it is a good thing that Hufflepuff has one hundred more points. At least this year's Academy Cup will definitely be won.
"school clinic?"
Kyle simply didn't wait any longer. After a brief wash, he climbed into bed and went to sleep.
Under Dumbledore's comfort, the auditorium gradually became quiet and turned into a heart-wrenching silence.
"That's right." The man said, "I just came back from there, and even the principal went there. Can it be a lie?"
This strange banquet didn't end until early in the morning. There were still classes tomorrow. Some lower-grade students couldn't bear it any longer and returned to the dormitory first. After that, others also left one after another.
Dumbledore stopped talking to Fudge and strode to the teacher's desk, looking seriously at everyone in the audience.
"Have you heard? The Death Eaters came back last night." A senior student said mysteriously.
"But I need to emphasize that the current situation is very tense. In order to ensure everyone's safety, the curfew time will be moved forward by two hours. After dinner, you are no longer allowed to move around at will."
Since the classes in the Room of Requirement were over, Kyle's leave note could no longer be used. He waited in the common room for a while, and then went to the auditorium with Connor to have breakfast.
"It's still wrong." The witch shook her head and said, "I heard that the professors had been patrolling the castle last night. It's impossible that no one noticed it."
Along the way, he could always hear people discussing what happened last night, until he entered the auditorium.
At this time, the Hufflepuffs had already begun to celebrate that they had won the House Cup ahead of schedule.
I have to say that Kyle's words were very convincing, and Connor immediately reacted... Yes, that was Dumbledore.
After another five minutes, Neville limped into the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table.
It's hard to imagine that people who were worried a second ago became excited again just because of a college cup.
In addition, being woken up in the middle of the night will inevitably make you feel a little hungry, so some people spontaneously ran to the kitchen next door.
"Who knows." Kyle said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's a bad taste that only old wizards have."
Although Kyle didn't really agree with their behavior of popping champagne at halftime, it was rare for everyone to be in the mood, so he didn't say anything.
Immediately there was a buzz of discussion below.
After a while, various cakes, biscuits, steaks, roast chicken, pudding drinks and other food were piled on the table.
"Okay, a warm and comfortable bed is waiting for you. I know your top priority is to have a good rest and prepare for class tomorrow, so... Oh, I'm sorry, I have to wait a little longer."
"Did you save Principal Dumbledore?" Connor asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me just now?"
In order not to be entangled by other people, under the gaze of countless eyes, Kyle pulled Kangna through the crowd, left the auditorium first, and returned to the common room.
"But if that's the case, why did the principal say that just now?"
"Headmaster Dumbledore?"
"Otherwise, will the school have a second principal?"
"But……"
"Stop it, if you still don't believe it. You can take a look at Professor Snape during class. He was injured by a Death Eater."
Soon, the two walked away, but their conversation caught Kyle's attention.
Death Eaters go and come back?
To be honest, Kyle didn't believe it.
There were only two Death Eaters who escaped yesterday. How Oren and Kyle were doing was hard to say, but Antonin Dolohov would definitely not dare to come back.
He is missing a leg, and coming back at this time is no different from voluntarily committing suicide.
