Kyle reached the second floor and ran down the corridor toward it.
But just as he passed the library entrance, he suddenly became dazed.
Vaguely, he suddenly recalled what Voldemort had said to him in the dungeon last year.
That is the part about the creation process of Horcruxes...
Before, Kyle didn't dare to study it rashly because he didn't know whether Voldemort had any ulterior motives, but now he felt as if he had suddenly become enlightened.
Those originally mysterious and difficult things suddenly became simple, as if he had studied them for decades. He could easily understand why he should do something and what the principle of that step was.
"This feeling is amazing," Kyle thought.
Even the Ravenclaw diadem is no more than this.
The knowledge in my mind gradually arranged and combined into a parchment full of pictures and words.
"Regarding the process of making Horcruxes..."
Every picture above is very clear, and every paragraph is very detailed. Just by looking at it... even just at a glance, he can understand the Horcrux...
But that's it.
"boom!"
It seemed as if something had been smashed hard onto the ground.
With a loud bang, Kyle was suddenly awakened. The knowledge he had just acquired in his head disappeared instantly, leaving no impression at all.
No matter how Kyle tried to recall, it was useless, as if time had suddenly gone back and they had never appeared.
Then... a balloon filled with water hit him on the head.
The balloon exploded, and a large amount of cold water poured directly onto Kyle's head.
He shuddered subconsciously, and instantly became much more awake.
"What are you daydreaming about, little brat Kyle?"
Peeves flew past him, "Run, that fool Filch is coming soon."
After saying that, he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Then Filch ran up.
He glanced at Kyle, who was soaking wet with water dripping from his hair, and soon noticed the balloon fragments on the ground...
"Peeves did that?"
Kyle nodded.
"Which direction did he run to!"
Kyle pointed casually...
In fact, Filch didn't even need to ask him, because when Peeves left, he kept throwing balloons at the portraits around him, and there were water stains everywhere he passed.
Filch was so angry that he ignored Kyle and chased after him angrily...
"Peeves! I must catch you today and drive you out of the castle!"
Kyle watched him leave, then turned to look at the library door, feeling confused.
What happened just now? Was it a coincidence or some special situation?
Also, can this situation happen again...if so, what are the triggering conditions.
It can't be that they passed by the library... Kyle frowned and took a few steps back.
A few minutes later, when Harry left Filch's office and went upstairs, he saw this strange scene.
Kyle seemed to be suddenly lost at the entrance of the library, going back and forth... Sometimes he walked normally, sometimes he ran, or he ran and jumped...
How should I put it? It's quite strange, and also a bit scary.
"Kyle." Harry shouted subconsciously, "What are you doing?"
"Forehead……"
Kyle suddenly stopped, then turned around and said, "Oh, I'm waiting for you and I'm going to exercise at the same time."
"Exercise?"
"Yes." Kyle said calmly, "It's normal that you don't know about the special training methods of Chasers since you are a Seeker.
By the way, how are you, did Filch give you any trouble?"
Speaking of this, Harry suddenly became a lot more excited.
"No, he just let me go!"
Escaping from Filch's office without being punished was probably the latest record.
"Then you have to thank Lord Porpington," Kyle said with a smile.
As he was speaking, Almost Headless Nick also flashed out from a classroom. Behind him, a gold and black cabinet fell to the ground.
"I persuaded Peeves to smash it on top of Filch's office," he said.
"It's you!" said Harry gratefully. "Ah, just in time. I didn't even get detention. Thank you, Nick!"
Kyle noticed the cabinet, too.
He walked into the classroom and looked closely at the golden lines on it.
"What's wrong with you, Kyle?" Harry followed and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this cabinet?"
"This is a vanishing cabinet." Kyle looked at the golden magic words on it and said in a low voice.
"The Vanishing Cabinet?"
"Well, a precious alchemical item."
"But it's not gone." Harry blinked. "It's right here..."
"You misunderstood." Kyle explained: "The meaning of the Vanishing Cabinet is that the things placed in it will appear in another cabinet, as if they disappeared out of thin air."
Harry looked at the cabinet and it looked more and more familiar.
"I think I've seen the same one somewhere... Oh, yes, it was in the Dark Magic Items shop in Knockturn Alley. There was a cabinet exactly like it."
Harry suddenly shut his mouth and glanced cautiously to the side.
Nearly Headless Nick floated to the side, suddenly seeming to take great interest in the walls.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Do you remember that I made a mistake when using the fireplace and ended up in a shop in Knockturn Alley by mistake, where I met Malfoy and his father."
"Borgin and Burkes?"
"Yes, that's the name." Harry said, "I hid in that cupboard at the time, so they didn't find me... But I didn't disappear, Kyle, you must have made a mistake."
"Did you close the door?" Kyle asked.
"Shut it off." Harry thought for a moment.
At first he left a gap, but then Malfoy tried to touch something and was stopped by his father, and he bumped into the cabinet door, so the gap was closed.
"Then there's something wrong with the cabinet."
Kyle shook his head. "One of these, or the one from Borgin and Burke's, is bound to be broken.
I saw the Vanishing Cabinet when I was in Paris, I can't mistake it."
"Oh, this is it."
Nearly Headless Nick floated over, “The utility room is filled with damaged items.
This cabinet has been here for a long time, probably about fifty years ago, when Dumbledore put it here.
At that time, he had just received the Order of Merlin, First Class, and the castle was bustling with activity. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 293 There is a story here
The Vanishing Cabinet was brought by Dumbledore, and Kyle didn't find it surprising, but the time point more than 50 years ago was more interesting.
As we all know, Professor Dumbledore was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, because he defeated Grindelwald in 1945. In the same year, Grindelwald was also imprisoned in the Nurmengard Tower.
Dumbledore threw away the Vanishing Cabinet at that time...tsk, there is a story behind this.
Of course, Kyle didn't dare to say much when it came to gossip about the principal.
After all, Harry's mouth is as good as Hagrid's. If he lets something slip one day, it will be a lot of fun.
"So, you mean, this cabinet was broken before?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, Peeves used to hide in this cupboard to avoid Filch for a while," said Nick. "If it was good, Peeves would have appeared there long ago."
"That's it..."
Kyle nodded. He did find a few cracks in the Vanishing Cabinet. Moreover, those marks were very old and could not have been caused by a recent fall.
"What are you going to do with this Vanishing Cabinet?"
"Just leave it here," said Nearly Headless Nick nonchalantly. "No one comes to this classroom. Peeves will probably take it later."
Kyle nodded thoughtfully.
Then they left the classroom, and Harry noticed that Nearly Headless Nick was still holding the transparent reply letter in his hand.
Maybe she wanted to repay him for saving her life just now...
"Regarding the matter of the Headless Hunters, I wish I could do something for you."
"No thanks." Nick put the letter back into his shirt. "I decided to form my own hunting team. One day, they will regret shutting me out."
Speaking of this, the curious image of Nick shaking his head appeared in Harry's mind again.
He quickly patted his face, forcing himself to forget those "dirty things", and then laughed dryly:
"Then... I wish you success."
"Thank you, but I have a request."
"What..." Harry asked.
