Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the side and lay on the ground groaning.
Then, as if a switch was triggered, a group of people suddenly swarmed in from all directions, punching and kicking him as if they had rehearsed countless times in advance.
"Don't get me wrong, kid." The kicking wizard straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Our past principals are actually quite normal. Phineas is just an exception. His IQ does not represent everyone. "
"The most unpopular principal, I understand." Kyle said with a smile.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "You can rest assured that we can't reveal everything that happened here. In fact, Fox's reaction is enough to explain everything. Phoenix will not get close to people with dark hearts."
"It doesn't matter, of course I know."
Kyle said, "But I have a question. Can the portraits here be destroyed so easily? I always thought that even using the Fire Curse wouldn't work."
"It's okay if you can destroy the entire castle." The man said.
"So the Phoenix can do it easily?"
"Phoenix won't do either, unless it's the current principal."
"Then why was Principal Black so worried just now?"
"Obviously, that idiot forgot...Okay, you go about your business, I'll go do some exercise."
After saying that, he joined the battlefield and kicked Phineas right in the face.
"Ugh... damn, you haven't washed your feet in hundreds of years."
"Stop talking nonsense, have you ever seen a painting of people washing their feet?"
The principal's office instantly became lively, and Phineas's screams could be heard everywhere.
"Oh, it's so lively."
Kyle turned around and saw Dumbledore walking in from the outside.
"What happened to them?"
"Said he wanted to do some exercise," Kyle said.
"What about Phineas?"
"Well... I guess he is the organizer of this event."
"Then he is really generous." Dumbledore said, "How is it? Is there any result?"
"At least sixty dementors have rebelled." Kyle said, "There may be more. What are you going to do, Professor."
"When such a dangerous creature is unchecked, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible." Dumbledore said expressionlessly. He waved and Fawkes immediately flew over.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's just a few words, it's nothing." Kyle glanced at the Dementor who had been shivering since Dumbledore came in, "Then Professor, how to deal with it..."
"Of course let the striker take it back to the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said meaningfully: "They should not appear outside Azkaban."
"Yes, I think so too." Kyle muttered quietly.

Chapter 672 Dumbledore’s counterattack, Kyle’s new job
After relaying the information he asked from the dementors, Kyle was about to leave the principal's office. As for how Dumbledore would handle this matter, he didn't care.
After all, he didn't know the location of the sixty Dementors, and no one would tell him, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.
But just as he opened the door and was about to go out, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Wait a moment."
"Is there anything else? Principal." Kyle asked.
Dumbledore had a strange expression and opened his mouth hesitantly, but finally shook his head, "No, not really... I just wanted to say that I might go out for a while starting tomorrow.
"Oh, I'll take Fox too."
At this point, Dumbledore was suddenly stunned. In fact, he didn't understand why he added this sentence... Maybe he was worried that Kyle would find another reason to borrow the phoenix, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse it first.
However, Dumbledore did not pause for too long, and quickly continued: "If you need to find me in any emergency, go to the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. I know you can sneak there."
"Just to deal with the dementors?" Kyle asked curiously.
There were only more than sixty Dementors in total, so no matter how you thought about it, Dumbledore wouldn't waste too much time.
And ever since the news of Voldemort's resurgence was made public, people in the castle have been panicking. Thanks to Dumbledore's presence, things have slowly calmed down.
If he leaves school now, especially if he disappears for a long time, it will more or less have some bad effects on the school.
"It's not entirely because of the dementors." Dumbledore said. "I also need to meet someone. A piece of his memory may provide us with crucial clues?"
"Who?" Kyle asked casually, not expecting an answer.
But unexpectedly, Dumbledore had no intention of hiding it, and immediately said: "Bob Ogden."
Kyle thought for a while, and after realizing that he didn't recognize him, he didn't care. He just thought he was a hidden member of the Order of the Phoenix.
After all, there were so many people in the Order of the Phoenix that Kyle couldn't possibly remember everyone. Just like Stoji, even if he was standing here right now, Kyle might not be able to recognize each other.
"Then I wish you all the best, Professor."
"Same for you."
After coming out of the principal's office, Kyle walked towards the common room. As he walked through the hall, he suddenly noticed a large group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board.
Strange, what kind of announcement is there at this time...
Out of curiosity, Kyle subconsciously walked over.
"Oh, Kyle..." someone said hello.
For a moment, the entire foyer immediately became quiet, and everyone looked over.
This was the first time Kyle had experienced this situation. He didn't react for a while, so he stood there and asked, "What happened to you today?"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one said anything. Finally, a Hufflepuff said hesitantly: "Um... I think you should watch it yourself..."
As her words fell, the students standing between Kyle and the bulletin board moved to both sides to make way.
Kyle didn't hesitate and walked over quickly.
A brand new notice was posted on the bulletin board:
[Ministry of Magic Award Announcement]
When he saw this title, Kyle was quite happy. The Ministry of Magic announced a reward to the whole school. This was a very revealing thing. I don’t know who was so lucky...
Then he saw his name.
But that's not the point. The point is the following paragraph.
"Kyle Chopper, a sixth-year Hufflepuff student, submitted his employment application to the Ministry of Magic some time ago.
Although he himself has not reached the age of office, in view of his many important clues in the resurrection of the mysterious man and his bravery to save Harry Potter from the siege of Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic and Hogg Watts jointly decided to award him special admission.
“As of today, I officially assume the position of Senior Assistant to the Minister of Magic (Internship) and President of the Hogwarts Student Union.
"Another: During this special period, the Ministry of Magic will work closely with Hogwarts to welcome every outstanding student who intends to work. Regardless of whether their age meets the standards, we will seriously consider it."
[Signed: Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister for Magic
Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore]
After reading all the contents of the announcement, Kyle felt like the veins on his forehead were pulsing.
What happened? When did he submit his employment application to the Ministry of Magic...
Kyle just wanted Dumbledore to be the minister, but he never thought about going to work in the Ministry of Magic... In this case, his mission has been completed.
And what does Dumbledore's signature mean? Couldn't he see that the Ministry of Magic was poaching Hogwarts?
No!
Kyle did not hesitate and immediately turned around and ran back to the eighth floor, arriving in front of the gargoyle stone head.
"Fluffy Tooth Mints!" Kyle said the password.
But what was surprising was that the stone beast didn't react at all.
Kyle shouted again, with the same result.
Apparently, Dumbledore had changed the password during his absence.
Kyle read the names of other candies and almost memorized the Honeydukes shopping list, but the stone beast seemed to be welded to the ground, motionless.
Kyle stood there, and he had a hunch that not only the password might have been changed, but even Dumbledore might have left the school by now.
With Fox here, it wouldn't be too convenient for him to go out.
Thinking of this, Kyle quickly walked to another corridor and stopped at the door of Professor McGonagall's office.
He knocked on the door.
"Kyle?" Professor McGonagall opened the door and asked curiously, "What do you want here?"
"That's it..." Kyle said quickly: "I have something important to ask Professor Dumbledore, but the password in the principal's office seems to have been changed."
"Ah, that's right..." Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly.
Because just a minute ago, Dumbledore was standing in Kyle's position and told her solemnly that he could not tell Kyle the password to the principal's office under any circumstances.
"Can you tell me the new password?"
"What a coincidence." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, and the muscles on her cheeks jumped, trying not to laugh. "The principal has something very important to do, and he left the school a minute ago. ”
"Run away?" Kyle took a few deep breaths.
"Come in first." Professor McGonagall opened the door and waited for Kyle to walk in before continuing to ask: "Do you have anything to do with the principal?"
"As for that inauguration announcement in the foyer," Kyle said, "I had absolutely no information before today."
"Oh, so that's it." Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "The principal specifically explained that this is what he should do, so there is no need to thank him..."
"Thank you?" Kyle couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Yes." Professor McGonagall said, "He said that the assistant minister is a good job and the salary is very good. He is very happy to see students sitting in that position before they graduate and provide some trivial help. .
"Oh, he also asked me to tell you that you must keep your heart and contribute more to the magic world."
