Seriously, Kyle couldn't think of a better solution than this.
"Okay, Kyle, you go back to the common room quickly, we are here." Professor McGonagall stretched out her wand and poked Greyback hard. The other person fainted immediately, and then poked him again. Transformed into a ferret.
Professor McGonagall turned the spear into a cage for him and turned to leave.
"Wait, Professor." Kyle quickly chased after him. "What is going on here, Professor Dumbledore?"
"I don't know either." Professor McGonagall said, "Come back soon..."
"I can help." Kyle interrupted her helplessly and looked at the cage.
I don't know if it's because he hasn't graduated yet, but Professor McGonagall or other members of the Order of the Phoenix always treat him as a protected person.
After being reminded by Kyle, Professor McGonagall realized that Kyle had just killed Fenrir Greyback by himself, and according to Cedric, the whole battle was very easy.
"Okay..." After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall stopped chasing Kyle.
"The Death Eaters have invaded the castle." She said quickly: "At first when Sirius told me the news, I thought he was making a bad joke, until I received a message from Principal Armando.
"Those Death Eaters, how dare they do this!" Professor McGonagall's voice trembled with anger.
But then again, as Death Eaters, it seems normal for them to do this.
But that's not what Kyle cares about.
"Professor, the Death Eaters just came in like this?" Kyle asked: "Did Phineas Black tell you about the Vanishing Cabinet?"
"How do you know about the vanishing cabinet?" Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment.
"Because that's what I gave to Draco Malfoy," Kyle said.
But this sentence caused an uproar in Professor McGonagall's heart.
She stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kyle helped her in time.
"You mean to say that the person who cooperated with the Death Eaters to enter the school was Draco Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly raised, "And what do you mean by the vanishing cabinet you gave him?"
"It's hard to explain this clearly in one or two sentences." Kyle said, "In short, Dumbledore also knows about this. We had planned to use the disappearing cabinet to catch all the Death Eaters who had sneaked into Hogwarts."
"But now..." Kyle paused. He listened to the constant explosions around him, spread his hands and continued: "Things seem to have changed in ways we didn't expect."
He didn't expect that not only were the Death Eaters not wiped out in one fell swoop, they even invaded the school. How did Dumbledore arrange it? This was different from what he thought.
Although Professor McGonagall didn't quite understand what Kyle meant, since Dumbledore knew, it would be no problem.
"Principal Black did mention the Vanishing Cabinet," she said, "but he said it a bit late. After we sent the students back to their common rooms, the Death Eaters had already appeared in the school. There were no Extra time to stop them."
This made Kyle frown again.
This is the plan he has been thinking about for so long?
Even though he bought time for the students to return to the common room, Kyle still felt an indescribable feeling. After all, he had been going to the Death Eaters from the beginning.
With the combination of the disappearing cabinet and the basilisk, I believe no Death Eater can escape.
But now...
Forget it.
Kyle sighed, feeling that the changes in the Room of Requirement came at the wrong time. If he could have come out a day earlier...or even an hour, Death Eaters would not have been able to set foot on the castle floor.
"Where is Professor Dumbledore?" Kyle asked again.
"I don't know." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Maybe he hasn't come back yet, or maybe he is somewhere else. I haven't seen him yet."
While they were talking, another figure wearing a black hood suddenly appeared from the corner of the corridor in front of the two of them. He looked like a Death Eater.
Professor McGonagall raised her wand...
But Kyle was faster than her, and a bright red light flew past Professor McGonagall's ear and landed directly on him.
Before the Death Eater even realized what was going on, he flew backwards and hit the wall without moving.
"It seems that keeping you here is the right choice." Professor McGonagall's lips, which had been pursed, relaxed a little.
I have to admit that in terms of reaction ability alone, Kyle is more than a little better than wizards her age.
Kyle smiled and said nothing.
The two separated when they came to the corner. Professor McGonagall went to the corridor on the right, while Kyle went to the left.
As for Cedric, he had to stay where he was. This was the only way from the tower to the interior of the castle, and it had to be guarded.
Along the way, Kyle encountered two more Death Eaters, both of whom he easily eliminated, but this also proved that they were just here to make up the numbers, not core Death Eaters.
"Really, how many people have come in?" Kyle frowned, not bothering to continue searching, and directly took out the Marauder's Map.
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong."
Kyle tapped it with his magic wand, and the lines formed by ink immediately filled the originally blank parchment.
Just when Kyle was looking at the map intently, a Death Eater quietly touched behind him.
Kyle seemed not to notice and continued to look down at the parchment in his hand.
The face under the Death Eater mask showed a hint of madness, and he pointed the wand at Kyle.
He had seen Kyle's portrait and knew that this student was the person named by Voldemort to kill. As long as he killed him, he would make a huge contribution and become one of the core Death Eaters.
Because he was so excited, his heart beat faster and faster.
But at this moment, a sweet smell suddenly drifted over. The smell was very complex, as if someone had put a bloody lollipop from Honeydukes under his nose.
Strange, why are there bloody lollipops here? Did some greedy student throw them around? Really no quality!
The Death Eater only felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and the wand in his hand began to become very heavy. The next second, he fell to the ground with a plop and became motionless.
Kyle still didn't look back and just said calmly: "Remember to clean up and don't let the poisonous mist drift to other places."
A black, leopard-like creature slowly walked out from the shadows behind.
Hearing Kyle's words, the poisonous leopard snorted unhappily, but still raised its head. Its neck quickly bulged like an angry puffer fish.
Soon, the surrounding sweetness dissipated.
Kyle continued to look at the Marauder's Map in his hand. He had been careless just now and didn't expect that he still had such a good thing.
At this time, ink has covered the entire map, and the names of every Death Eater on it are clearly visible, and their locations are also clear.
With this, Kyle doesn't have to look aimlessly.
His eyes fell on the name closest to him, called Gat, but he soon looked somewhere else.
The nearby north tower is also the place with the most people besides the four common rooms.
Dumbledore, Harry, Malfoy, Snape, Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Dolphin Gibbon, and... Maurice Oren.
They are all old acquaintances.
Kyle looked at the last name and was slightly stunned.
"Long time no see, Professor Oren." He said softly.
It took so long that he almost forgot about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who taught him a lot in his first year, so did he finally become a Death Eater?
Kyle put away the map, took a deep breath, and walked quickly towards the tower.
There were no Death Eaters blocking his way, and he was soon under the tower.
The spiral staircase leading to the top is blocked by a thick earth wall, which must be man-made. Mr. Weasley and Bill, Charlie, were waving their wands rapidly.
"Shattered to pieces..."
"Shattered to pieces..."
But the effect was average. Those earthen walls were very strong. The three people's spells only created a small hole, which could not allow a person to get in.
Mr. Weasley noticed someone approaching behind him.
"Kyle, how did you..."
"Let's talk about old times later." Kyle waved his magic wand, and a golden-red flame slammed into the earth wall, as if red charcoal fire was thrown into the snow. Almost in the blink of an eye, the earth wall was destroyed. Burned through.
Kyle didn't stop and walked straight in. The three Weasleys who were left outside looked at each other.
"Is this... the Fire Curse?"
"Instant fire spell?"
Bill and Charlie looked at their father at the same time.
Mr. Weasley smacked his lips and nodded with some difficulty.
Although he didn't quite believe it was true, the flames in front of him that were beating and twisting as if they were alive were indeed fierce fires.
Moreover, it is a very profound fire spell that can instantly melt the earth wall obstacles arranged by the Death Eaters.
"Are we going to go in and help?" Charlie asked tentatively.
The earthen wall is gone, but the thing blocking the road now is even more terrifying.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but a part of the fierce fire was left around the earth wall. It looked like a huge fire ring. If you want to enter the tower, you must get through the fire ring.
Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stay here.
"Forget it," he said, "Dumbledore asked us to try to make some noise, but now things have completely exceeded expectations. Let's go deal with the other Death Eaters in the castle."
"But there are many Death Eaters in the tower, Kyle..."
"Hey, Charlie, you don't think Kyle is little Ron and still needs our protection?" Bill raised his eyebrows.
"Okay!" Charlie laughed dryly, "Although it's not very friendly to Ron, it's true."
Just as they were talking, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the middle with a whoosh, passed through the "ring of fire" in the blink of an eye, and disappeared on the spiral staircase behind.
"What happened just now?" Bill asked, rubbing his eyes.
"It seems like it's a leopard." Charlie was a little unsure. The speed was so fast that he couldn't see clearly.
"Why is there a leopard in Hogwarts!"
"How do I know? He might have escaped from the Forbidden Forest. Why don't you go in and have a look?"
"Hmm... I think Kyle and Professor Dumbledore should be able to handle a leopard, even if it is black."
……
On the other side, Kyle walked all the way to the top of the tower. After arriving here, the voices above could be heard clearly.
