The Dementor paused, as if he didn't expect Kyle to be able to communicate with him.
"We have orders...Sirius Black...These are orders."
"He's already gone. He's not here." Kyle said, "You can check if you don't believe me."
The Dementor took a long breath.
Then it took a step back, "Let go... let's go..."
"it is good……"
Kyle's mind moved, and the jellyfish loosened its tentacles.
A dozen Dementors floated over unsteadily. Their cloaks looked even more torn and their bodies looked smaller than before.
Without waiting for Kyle to say anything, they fled into the darkness and disappeared.
Kyle touched his nose. He just let the Patronus try to attack the Dementors, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
"We agreed not to tell on you," Kyle reminded.
"We...were hurt..." The Dementor's voice was still cold.
"You want to regret it?" Kyle frowned, "Don't forget that you were the first to break into the school and tried to attack students and professors. We were just trying to protect ourselves."
"There is... the smell of Sirius Black here... We have orders... to capture..."
"And where is Sirius?"
The Dementor fell silent, it took another breath, but still could not find the scent of Sirius Black.
"So you were wrong from the beginning," Kyle said with a smile.
"We have orders... to check..."
"Do you think Professor Dumbledore will believe it?" Kyle said with a smile, "By the way, you should know who Dumbledore is, a powerful wizard, stronger than any wizard you have ever seen."
It was visibly that the Dementor shook uncontrollably... It was obvious that it had seen Dumbledore and had dealt with him before.
It must be because of what happened on the Quidditch field last time. It is said that Dumbledore was furious when he came back and directly drove away all the Dementors around the school.
"Then go talk to the people in the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said deliberately: "You scared the students..."
He pointed at Harry, Ron, and Hermione who were still huddled together and trembling. "It's understandable that we injured a few Dementors in order to protect ourselves. Even the people from the Ministry of Magic can't say anything."
"But you are different... You broke into the school and tried to attack students and professors. Tsk tsk, Professor Dumbledore probably won't let you go so easily this time."
Kyle turned and walked away, muttering to himself as he walked: "That old wizard has a bad temper. If he gets angry, he will probably kill hundreds of Dementors to vent his anger..."
As he was speaking, the Dementors suddenly floated over from behind and blocked his way.
"Is there anything else you need?" Kyle asked.
The Dementor didn't say anything, he just stood in front of Kyle and prevented him from passing.
"Well then..." Kyle sighed, "If you promise me one thing, I'll pretend I didn't see you today."
"What's up……"
"Well, let me think about it." Kyle's eyes flickered. He originally just wanted the Dementors to leave and both sides pretended they didn't see each other.
But he suddenly thought of something...
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "There is a person named Bellatrix imprisoned in Azkaban. She has a key. I need to know where that key is."
"I can't do that..." said the Dementor. "It's not allowed... and we can't understand the key..."
"Forget it then?" Kyle sighed, "It seems that I can only tell Dumbledore..."
The Dementor floated in front of Kyle again, still without saying a word.
"That's all I ask," Kyle said.
"The guards will be changed tomorrow... I can... take you there..."
Kyle's mouth twitched. What a joke! He would never go to that kind of place. If he was discovered by the Ministry of Magic, he wouldn't have to come out.
But... changing the guard?
Kyle asked, "How often do you change guards?"
"Two days..."
"Does this mean that you will come back here in two days?"
The Dementor nodded, "There is no food here... we must return."
Kyle's eyes lit up, and after working for a while with his head down, he handed an envelope and a small bottle to the Dementor.
"Put the contents of the bottle in her food, wait for her to eat it, then open the envelope. Remember what she said, and tell me when you come back.
Don't play tricks, or I will not only tell Professor Dumbledore that you broke into the school, but I will also have someone complain to the Ministry of Magic that you deliberately let Sirius Black escape... and I guarantee that they will believe it. "
Kyle's tone exuded a strong sense of confidence.
When the time comes, let Sirius write a letter of complaint himself, saying that the Dementors have neglected their duties. How could the people in the Ministry of Magic not believe it?
As if sensing something, the Dementor's body trembled, and he stretched out his withered hands stiffly from under his robe and grabbed the envelope and the small bottle.

Chapter 436 Dumbledore's Surprise
The Dementor floated away, swaying, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Kyle turned around and found that everyone was looking at him in a very strange way.
"what happened?"
"Kyle, weren't you scared at all just now?" Harry exclaimed.
Because of the distance and the Patronus blocking the way, Harry did not hear the conversation just now. He just vaguely saw that Kyle seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Dementors.
But it was a Dementor. He would feel a chill all over his body just by getting close to it. Kyle actually dared to stand in front of it, and stayed there for so long...
"Why should we be afraid? This is Hogwarts," said Kyle.
"Is everything okay now?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.
"It's all right," said Kyle. "I told the Dementors that Sirius wasn't here, and they left."
Hermione nodded, breathing a sigh of relief.
First there was the werewolf, and then there were hundreds of Dementors. Now she felt her legs go weak and she just wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep.
But no, they had to go to Headmaster Dumbledore first.
Hermione turned to look at the werewolf entangled in the Devil's Snare, "How are we going to take it away? We can't just leave it here."
"Don't worry, we don't need to worry about this issue." Kyle turned his head and looked in the direction of the castle.
Perhaps the Dementors were making too much noise, and a large fiery red bird appeared in the air and was flying towards this side quickly.
It's Fox.
It folded its wings, landed on Kyle's shoulder, and tilted its head slightly, as if asking what happened.
"We have something to ask Professor Dumbledore." Kyle pointed at the werewolf wrapped like a dumpling and said softly, "Could you please take it over first?"
Fawkes nodded, flew over and grabbed the werewolf's head with his claws, then flew back to the castle again.
"Oh my god, was that a phoenix just now?"
As soon as Fawkes left, Hermione immediately covered her mouth and said in surprise: "I've seen it in a book. The phoenix above looks exactly like it."
"It's a phoenix," said Harry. "I saw it in the headmaster's office. I think its name was... Fawkes?"
"I'm more concerned about Professor Lupin..." Ron opened his mouth, "I don't know if you noticed that he was caught by the head and flew away. Is that really okay?"
"If they are in werewolf form, there will be no problem. Their bodies are much stronger than wizards." Kyle said, "Okay, let's go back quickly. Professor Dumbledore should be waiting."
Several people hurried towards the castle.
Sirius continued to remain in the form of a big dog and did not dare to change back.
The few people who returned to the castle did not meet Filch or the patrolling professors, and arrived at the eighth floor smoothly.
Perhaps he had been warned in advance, because when he saw them, the gargoyle stone beast in charge of guarding the gate jumped to the side, revealing the passage behind it.
Harry couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked in first. Sirius followed closely behind, but you could see that his hind legs were shaking constantly, which seemed to indicate that he was very nervous.
The oak door at the end of the stairs was also open, and Professor Dumbledore, wearing pink strawberry velvet pajamas, stood behind the desk.
"I think a lot of interesting things must have happened tonight, which caused so many of you to violate school rules collectively."
He smiled and asked, "Would you like some pumpkin juice before you tell these stories?"
"No thanks, professor." The three people walking in front all shook their heads.
Harry was in no mood, while Ron and Hermione shook their heads subconsciously because they were nervous.
"Can I have a lemonade?" Kyle said.
"Would you like some sugar?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
“No sugar at all.”
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, a glass of fresh lemonade appeared on the table next to him.
Kyle took it and took a sip. The sour taste sobered him up a lot.
Before Kyle finished his sip, Harry couldn't help but say, "Professor, Sirius Black was wrongly accused, and Peter Pettigrew was the real informer!"
"Oh!"
Professor Dumbledore looked at him in surprise.
"Although I thought tonight's story would be exciting, I didn't expect your first sentence to be beyond my expectations."
"So, how did you find out?" he asked. "As far as I know, Peter Pettigrew has been dead for twelve years and has been awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class."
"That's fake, it's still alive!" Harry held up the cage he was holding tightly, "This is Peter!"
"It turned into a rat and hid in my house for twelve years." Ron added from the side with a sullen face, as if Scabbers' true identity was an insult to his personality.
Dumbledore turned his blue eyes to Scabbers.
