"You are too underestimated Albus." Dean Sacia smiled.
"No, I'm serious." Kyle said, "In short, believe me, it's impossible for Professor Dumbledore to become a minister, no matter how many people support him.
"If you openly support him, you will soon have a quarrel with the Ministry of Magic. This is not a good thing for you or St. Mungo's."
Seeing that Kyle didn't look like he was joking, Dean Sasia gradually put away his smile and became serious.
If it is true as Kyle said, then she should really consider whether to publicly support Dumbledore. After all, Fudge is not a generous person.
"How about this..." Kyle said, "Fox will send you a letter next. At that time, you just need to accept it in front of other people, and then write a reply to Professor Dumbledore to show your kindness. Just divide the ambiguity."
"Ah?" Sacia blinked, a little confused as to what Kyle meant.
Didn't he just say that Dumbledore would never become minister? But why go to all the trouble and create an ambiguous illusion.
She felt like she couldn't keep up with the ideas of today's young wizards.
But since Kyle said so, she would just do it. It was just a letter and it would not have any impact on St. Mungo's.

Chapter 660 Hagrid’s doubts, will Dumbledore take any action?
When Kyle left the tea room and returned to the second floor, he heard an angry roar coming from the ward where Sirius was.
"If you guys don't shut up, I'll hang you upside down from the ceiling in the corridor!"
Then, the three people were kicked out of the room by Mr. Weasley.
Ron stood in the corridor, looked at the closed door and muttered in a low voice: "Really, we just said a few words and didn't disturb him..."
"But we have disturbed him." Hermione said something fair. "We woke him up twice. Sirius should have kicked us out..."
"But you can't blame us." Ron curled his lips, "The room is so big, it's useless no matter how much we lower our voices."
"Okay, at worst we'll come back tomorrow." Harry said, "It's holiday anyway, you can come over anytime... Where's Mr. Weasley?"
"I don't know. I should go look for Bill outside. He wants to go back with us."
While they were talking, Kyle had also gone downstairs.
Because he was too lazy to explain again how he came from Hogwarts, he did not choose to go to the corridor to greet the three of them. Instead, he returned directly to the waiting room on the first floor and left St. Mungo's along the passage.
Outside, Mr. Weasley was talking to Bill.
"How about you let me drive when you go back?" He stared at Sirius's new car with eagerness in his eyes.
Naturally, Bill would not refuse and handed him the car keys directly.
Mr. Weasley took the key and looked up just in time to see Kyle walking out of the department store window.
"Have you finished talking to Dean Sasia?" he asked.
"Well, we're done talking."
Speaking of this, Kyle only felt a twitch in his chest... Seven thousand Galleons, the time for a cup of tea is gone. If you say you don't feel bad, you'd be lying.
However, Mr. Weasley didn't know what was going on. He pointed to the car and said, "Come up first. I'll call Harry and the others now, and then we'll go back together."
"No, Mr. Weasley." Kyle shook his head and took out a teapot from his pocket. "I just asked Dean Sacia to help make a door key that can lead directly to Hogsmeade."
"Hogsmeade?"
"Well, I signed the detention list, so strictly speaking, I sneaked out this time..." Kyle glanced at the time and said quickly: "Sorry, Mr. Weasley, the door key is not effective yet. One minute left, I have to hurry up."
"Ah, okay." Mr. Weasley said, opening the car door. "Want to come into the car? It's safe enough here."
Kyle originally wanted to go to the phone booth, but after hearing what Mr. Weasley said, he didn't refuse and got directly into the car.
……
By the time Kyle returned to Hogwarts, it was already seven o'clock, which was just the time for dinner to start.
There were not many people who chose to stay on campus this year, only about thirty, so the layout of the auditorium was changed, leaving only one table in the middle. All the students who stayed on campus, as well as professors, all sat together to eat.
Fortunately, Kyle did not see Umbridge on the table, and she must have left school.
This is really good news. If she were there, Kyle might not be able to eat it.
Dumbledore was also absent, so Professor Flitwick led them in singing Christmas carols and set off a ribbon firecracker as usual.
The ribbons and firecrackers were filled with gadgets, such as hats of various shapes and wizard chess. Professor Flitwick bought a leather cowboy hat and happily put it on.
Kyle also wore a hat full of sequins, but he didn't bring it himself, but planned to give it to Sniff as a Christmas gift.
This kind of shiny thing is simply priceless to Xiu Xiu.
Soon, the table was filled with delicious food.
Connor spread a layer of marmalade on toast and whispered, "How is Professor Black?"
"The rune venom has been removed from his body," Kyle said. "I think he should be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
"That's good."
"By the way, when did Umbridge leave school."
"It should be in the morning, or maybe last night." Kangna thought for a while and said, "I didn't see her all day today."
"You shouldn't be able to see her in the next two weeks." Kyle smiled.
"Yes." Kangna also smiled, "I have to say, this is simply the best Christmas gift."
Although there were very few people staying on campus, the dinner was no less deserted than usual. During dessert, Professor McGonagall conjured twenty dancing snowmen, making the auditorium look like a Christmas ball. It's novelty.
After the dinner, these snowmen turned into ice sculptures, frozen in all directions of the auditorium.
Everyone clapped and returned to their common rooms amid laughter.
The next day is Christmas.
When Kyle woke up this morning, he found that almost half of the house was filled with gifts.
Because he got up late, Kyle was busy until noon and finally opened all the gifts.
Most of them were books and candies, like this every year. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he went to Honeydukes Candy Store to spend money.
Kangna sent chocolate, which looked like it was homemade. Kyle mustered up the courage to taste a piece and found that it tasted pretty good.
And there seemed to be some kind of magic potion in it. After taking it, the sleepiness he felt when he first got up disappeared in an instant, and he became much more energetic.
It's a bit similar to the sobering potion, but the taste is different. It has a nice vanilla smell.
In addition, Mrs. Weasley gave me a Christmas jumper, which was gray and very comfortable.
Hagrid gave him a fur wallet with fangs. The note attached said that it was an anti-theft wallet and that Galleons would be safe inside.
What he said was not wrong. The only problem was that the wallet didn't recognize anyone. Even if Kyle wanted to take out the money, he couldn't. One of his things was in it and he couldn't get it out.
Professor Snape sent a bottle of air.
Dumbledore's gift was a woolen scarf.
In addition, Dean Sasia also sent a Christmas gift...a bottle of elixir of happiness.
After seeing the bright golden bottle, Kyle suddenly lost interest in the gifts that followed.
"I should have saved this for last," Kyle muttered.
After opening all the gifts, Kyle walked out of the dormitory and went to the auditorium with Kangna.
The ice sculptures are still there, and they also have gorgeous dress robes on them, which are also transformed by magic. They look like the masterpieces of Professor Flitwick.
After having Christmas lunch, Kangna was ready to go to the library. According to her previous plan, she would read at least three books related to potions during this Christmas holiday.
Kyle left the castle alone and came to Hagrid's hut.
I don't know if it's because of Umbridge or some other reason, but Hagrid has been in a bad mood recently.
When Kyle arrived, he was sitting next to the pumpkin patch, cooking a pot of sticky stuff. There was an empty bucket next to him, presumably preparing food for some kind of magical creature.
"Merry Christmas Hagrid, what is this?" Kyle greeted him and asked with a frown.
Hagrid seemed to be thinking about something and was startled by Kyle's voice.
"Merry Christmas, Kyle." He raised his head and said, "It's just some meat, offal, and a thick soup stewed with semolina cakes." His tone sounded a little guilty, "Well... prepared for Lu Wei, it Like this."
"Oh, that's right." Kyle nodded. No matter how strange the food was, it would instantly become reasonable as long as it was related to the three-headed dog.
That kind of magical animal is really not picky about food and never cares about how it looks.
Kyle changed a chair for himself, sat next to Hagrid and asked, "What's wrong with you recently?"
"What?" Hagrid asked, "I'm fine."
"Then why were you ten minutes late for your last class? You have never been late before, and..." Kyle glanced at Hagrid's face, "How did you get injured?"
Hagrid's eye was swollen again, and there was a large, obvious bruise around it, as if it had been hit by a Bludger.
"No, it's nothing." Hagrid quickly lowered his head and tried to cover his eyes with his hands, "I just... accidentally hit a tree."
"Then you hit it really well." Kyle said with a smile, without exposing his flawless lie.
"Well...actually it's because of that annoying Umbridge." Hagrid said hesitantly:
"She told me that she would check my class status again after the holiday. If she was still not satisfied, she would give me a notice of detention."
Hagrid's tone gradually became smoother. He angrily grabbed a handful of wood and added it to the fire. The pot of unknown objects immediately started to bubble.
"But how can she be satisfied...I mean she can always find excuses to give my classes low marks. No matter what I do, it's useless. Even if I speak normally, she will remember that I am intimidating the students." .
"It's really ridiculous. She obviously did it on purpose, just because I said I would always support Dumbledore!"
"Of course, that's what she came to Hogwarts to do," Kyle said.
Hagrid sighed, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.
"Why didn't you go back during the holidays?" He changed the subject: "I thought you would go to Sirius's house to spend Christmas like Harry did."
"I'm going to do something..." Kyle said, "but it must be in school and without Umbridge. I need your help."
"No problem." Hagrid blurted out without thinking, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
"Don't worry yet." Kyle waved his hand, "Before that, I want to ask you something."
