After they walked for a while, Mr. Weasley couldn't help but ask, "Kyle, shouldn't you still be in Hogwarts? How come you are here?"
"Well, Fred and George noticed that Harry was skipping school while riding the Thestral. They told me and I went to find Professor Dumbledore... he brought me here."
"Have we been discovered?" Harry turned around and asked in surprise.
"Is there any problem with this? Most people just can't see the Thestral, but it's not like they can't see the person riding on it?"
Kyle said, "And if you wait a little longer, Dumbledore will go and tell you that Sirius is safe."
Harry lowered his head in shame.
Sirius, who was walking at the front, seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Lupine. He shook his head and signaled Sirius not to say anything.
Harry was indeed too impulsive this time.
Rushing into the Ministry of Magic without any preparation left everyone passive and had to jump into the Death Eaters' trap.
Fortunately, Kyle arrived in time and everyone was safe.
But what if Kyle hadn't come... More than twenty Death Eaters were more than they could handle. At that time, it was only a matter of time before their entire army was annihilated.
Lupine felt scared even thinking about it now.
So this kind of thing must not happen a second time.
"I'm sorry." Harry lowered his head and said sincerely, "I will never do that next time."
"You'd better remember what you said today." Lupine said without looking back.
"Okay, Remus." Seeing the scene being a little stiff, Mr. Weasley came out to smooth things over at the right time: "Sirius is Harry's only relative after all, and it is also the family relationship that he has longed for for more than ten years... This is A trap carefully prepared for him by the cunning mysterious man.
"The mysterious man's tricks are hard to detect. Sometimes even we will fall for it, let alone the inexperienced Harry."
Lupine sighed.
This is the truth, but some things still have to be said.
"Oh, by the way." Mr. Weasley changed the subject: "Kyle, you said Dumbledore brought you here?"
"Well, the Phoenix took us directly from Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said.
"Merlin, what was Dumbledore thinking about bringing students to such a dangerous place..." At this point, Mr. Weasley paused and subconsciously glanced at the box in Kyle's hand.
Well, strictly speaking, Kyle should be much more dangerous than the Death Eaters now.
He didn't dwell on the issue anymore and asked instead: "What about Dumbledore? Why didn't he come with you just now?"
"Yes..." At this time, Sirius, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but complain: "If he had been here just now, Bellatrix would never have been able to escape. That crazy woman is too dangerous."
Mr. Weasley nodded too.
If Dumbledore was here, he would be able to reveal Malfoy's true identity himself... He had seen it just now. The platinum-blond hair that could not be covered by the mask or hood, it was obvious that the other person was Malfoy.
"Well," Kyle said calmly, "Professor Dumbledore should still be fighting Voldemort outside the Department of Mysteries right now."
In unison, everyone stopped.
"What did you say?" Sirius almost screamed: "The mysterious man is also in the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes, I happened to bump into him when I came here." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore and Voldemort, us and the Death Eaters, it's fair, right?"
Harry felt even more guilty, but no one paid attention to him at this time. No one said anything, and they continued to walk forward after a while.
Only this time, everyone's faces were much more serious.
The return journey went smoothly, and they did not encounter any Death Eaters blocking their way. It seemed that they had run away and did not choose to stay in the Department of Mysteries.
Lupine had a good memory and soon led everyone back to the black rotunda at the outermost part. As long as they left here, they would reach the corridor leading to the elevator.
But Lupine and Sirius stopped at the same time.
If it is true as Kyle said, outside this room is the battlefield between Dumbledore and Voldemort, is it really okay for them to go out now? Will it distract Dumbledore...
But before they could think any more, a door on the right suddenly opened, and the corridor leading to the elevator appeared.
Everyone was startled, but soon they found that the corridor was empty, neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort was missing.
Sirius, Lupine and Kingsley walked out cautiously and suddenly gasped.
This corridor seemed to have been bombarded countless times with blasting spells. The walls on both sides were almost shattered, the ground was covered with fallen stones, and there was a big hole in the ceiling.
This time, they completely believed Kyle's words.
Fortunately, the lift was not damaged and Mr. Weasley stepped forward to give it a try.
"It can still be used." He turned around and said, being the first to walk in.
Then, Harry, Kyle, Sirius, and Lupine also entered the elevator.
Kingsley decided to stay here. These captured Death Eaters needed to be supervised, or was it safer here?
The adults unanimously decided to send Kyle and Harry out of the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. Sirius hit the button in the main hall hard, "Hurry up, damn, can this thing be faster!"
The elevator rattled upwards and stopped at the main hall amid Sirius' urging.
But when they came out, they saw Dumbledore and Voldemort confronting each other at first sight.
"Oh, no!" Sirius said angrily: "Why are they here? If I had known earlier, I should have let them stay in the Department of Mysteries with Kingsley."
Kyle looked over from behind Lupin.
At this time, the battle seemed to have entered the intermission period.
Dumbledore and Voldemort stood on their own sides. The originally magnificent main hall was also damaged and became a mess. Even the statue on the magic fountain in the middle was smashed.
Not far from them lay half of the centaur statue, and further away was a pointed ear and the head of the wizard.
The Death Eaters who had escaped before were now kneeling in front of Voldemort.
"Bella, you messed up again, didn't you?" Voldemort stared at Dumbledore with his cold red eyes, "After months of preparation...my Death Eaters have once again let me down. …”
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Bellatrix cried, slowly crawling to Voldemort's feet, "Please, don't punish me..."
"Stop talking, Bella." Voldemort still didn't take his eyes away from Dumbledore, "This is the third time you've let me down, and you know what? Someone came back earlier than you.
"Although he is cowardly, he brought me some interesting news... You seem to be deliberately attacking Harry Potter who is holding the Prophecy Ball.
"And the one named Kyle is very affectionate to you... Even the three beasts deliberately didn't attack you."
"No, that's not the case!" Bellatrix roared, with a look of horror on her face, "Master, you know that I am your most loyal slave, past and present."
"I used to believe this, but now, what you have done makes me have to doubt..."
Voldemort's voice was so frightening that Bellatrix was so frightened that she fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
"No, Master, I don't..."
While they were talking, Dumbledore watched quietly from the side without any intention of interrupting them.
Almost everyone in the wizarding world knows that Bellatrix is the craziest Death Eater. Now she is actually suspected by Voldemort. This is really interesting.
And I don't know if it was an illusion, but Dumbledore always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar... It wasn't until he heard Kyle's name that he suddenly realized it.
Kyle, it's okay.
But he couldn't understand that this kind of alienation plot was too obvious. Even if Voldemort was suspicious by nature, he shouldn't have believed it so quickly.
Or are they acting for themselves?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 687 After the battle
I have to say, it was really interesting to watch the feud between Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but unfortunately the scene didn't last too long.
Voldemort also noticed the people coming out of the elevator. His eyes passed through Dumbledore and fell on Kyle and Harry.
"It's you two again..." He said in a cold tone, "It's you every time, annoying me again and again, too many times, for too long. Avada Kedavra!"
After all, it was Voldemort, and the Death Curse was as thick as a poisonous snake swimming in mid-air. Kyle even suspected that even if Norbert, the Norwegian Spinyback Dragon, was hit, he might die directly.
However, he didn't feel panic and didn't even hide.
The next second, a big flashing red hand suddenly stretched out from the wall next to them, blocking the two of them.
The killing curse bounced off the big hand.
"Tom, don't forget that I am your opponent." Dumbledore said calmly.
"Of course I won't forget it." Voldemort seemed to have expected that his spell would not work, so he didn't pay too much attention.
But this time the death curse also ignited the battle again.
The water in the magic fountain instantly condensed into swords and flew towards Dumbledore. The sword hit the half-remaining statue and immediately punched a hole in it.
But Dumbledore simply raised his wand, and there seemed to be an invisible shield in front of him, blocking all attacks.
Then he directed the surrounding water droplets and sent them back to Voldemort in the same way, and the power seemed to be even greater than before.
Voldemort had to conjure a shining silver shield out of thin air to resist. The silver shield surrounded him, and the water droplets hitting it made a low trembling sound like a gong.
Kyle's eyes lit up. He wanted to learn this...
Although Dumbledore's magic is also good, he still prefers this kind of substantial silver shield.
"Professor Lupin, do you know what magic this is?" Kyle asked in a low voice.
"Huh?" Lupine obviously didn't expect that under such circumstances, Kyle would be in the mood to care about the curse... but he still subconsciously glanced in the direction of Voldemort.
"Sorry, I don't know." Lu Ping shook his head, "It looks like the Iron Armor Curse, but it is more advanced than the ordinary Iron Armor Curse. It should be added with ancient magic words."
"Okay." Kyle said. He couldn't help but take out his wand, first used the Iron Armor Charm, and then shook his wrist slightly.
Golden magic runes floated out from the tip of the staff, and then these magic runes formed into a larger symbol.
Kyle slowly moved his wand, trying to incorporate the symbols into the Iron Armor Charm.
But at this moment, a red light suddenly flew over from the right.
The iron armor curse that was fused with the symbols flew the red light away, but it itself collapsed due to the external force.
"Who?"
Sirius immediately took out his wand and stood in front of Harry, with Lupine protecting Kyle behind him.
But the only remaining Death Eaters were still with Voldemort, so it was obviously not their fault.
