Chapter 226: The Cunning Dumbledore

School Hospital.

After ordering the basilisk to fall back into its slumber, Kyle rushed here as fast as he could.

Harry was sleeping peacefully in one of the beds, while Dumbledore was talking to Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey looked a little upset.

"Last year was a Dark Wizard, this year is a Death Eater, so what will be our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor next year...... Mystery Man? ”

Madam Pomfrey squinted at Dumbledore, "If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised at all. ”

Dumbledore just laughed, without rebutting or justifying.

Whether it is Oron or Quirrell, he is looking for him, he does have a great responsibility, and this pot can't be shaken off.

Luckily, at this time, Kyle came in.

"Oh, you're just in time, Kyle, we just talked about you......"

Dumbledore quickly ended his conversation with Madam Pomfrey and walked towards Kyle, but a second later, he was squeezed aside by Madam Pomfrey.

"You should be at the hospital right away!" Madam Pomfrey looked at Kyle angrily.

At this point, she looks more of a villain than Voldemort.

Kyle glanced at Dumbledore pleadingly, asking him to help him out.

But their headmaster suddenly became interested in the potion bottle next to him, and kept looking at it with his head down, not looking at it at all.

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey didn't say anything more.

"Alright, stand still!" She pulled out her wand and shook it twice in front of Kyle.

The tip of the wand glowed softly white, and finally a cloud of something enveloped Kyle.

Madam Pomfrey stared at the "clouds" for a moment before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, no signs of black magic."

"You should be glad you ......," Madam Pomfrey said with a grimace, "that Harry Potter couldn't even utter a complete sentence when it was sent. ”

She pulls out a bottle of potion and herds Kyle to his hospital bed.

"Hmm...... Bobby, can I have a couple of words with him? Dumbledore whispered, "Just two sentences, it won't take too much time." ”

"Even if you say so, Headmaster." Madam Pomfrey frowned, "But this kid has just experienced a terrible fire...... He needs to rest now. ”

Dumbledore nodded, not insisting.

After drinking the potion, Kyle felt only a drowsy brain and soon fell asleep.

……

By the time he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Kyle is woken up.

He heard Madam Pomfrey roaring angrily, as if to drive Fred and George away?

"Good morning, Kyle."

Kyle opened his eyes and saw a smiling Dumbledore next to his hospital bed.

He always felt that this scene was a little familiar.

Oh yes, it was the same last year...... And the time is about the same.

"Good morning, Professor." Kyle sat up and asked, "How's Potter doing?" ”

"I'm glad you asked." Dumbledore said, "He's fine, I'm sure he'll wake up by noon...... Want to eat, there was tonkatsu in the kitchen this morning. ”

"No, I don't have much appetite." Kyle shook his head.

"That's a shame, today's tonkatsu tasted amazing."

Kyle thought Dumbledore would ask him why he was going to the box, but he didn't, and after a brief chat, Dumbledore just said calmly, "By the way, you remember to return Luwe to Hagrid in a moment, he was in a hurry last night."

It's weird...... Why did I think Quirrell hid it yesterday?

It wasn't until an hour later that I realized that he didn't have to do it if he just wanted to get through the trapdoor. And it's not easy to hide such a big three-headed dog. ”

"Unless, it's some kind of magical prop...... Like a box, or a bag or something. ”

"Uh......" Kyle was a little embarrassed.

In fact, the little elixir he drank lasted for about an hour.

"I'm sorry, Professor."

"It's okay, Kyle, I didn't mean to blame you, in fact, even if you hadn't taken Lowe away, Quirrell would have had another way to get through the trapdoor."

Kyle nodded, he had already guessed Dumbledore's purpose.

Subconsciously, Kyle glanced around.

It was just him, Dumbledore, and Harry sleeping in the room.

And he really missed seeing Madam Pomfrey when he didn't want to see him here...... What she looked like yesterday when she was rushing people.

Kyle began to shift the subject, from Quidditch to exams and finally to the House Cup......

Dumbledore was also very patient with him, and he looked like he was completely enjoying it.

But the time to come is always coming, and just as Kyle finished talking about the House Cup and was about to move on to the next topic, Dumbledore took the lead and said, "Speaking of the House Cup...... It occurred to me that Kyle, did you see a bright red stone yesterday? ”

"So what does the Academy Cup have to do with the Philosopher's Stone...... The topic turned too hard. Kyle sneered.

But in the face of Dumbledore's inquiry, he nodded and said, "See, Potter has been holding it, but then it fell into the fire." ”

"yes, that's what Harry said." Dumbledore said thoughtfully, "But what's interesting is that the Philosopher's Stone is a very magical stone, and even if it is fierce, it is difficult to burn it.

I went back to see it afterwards and there was no trace of it...... It's impossible. ”

"Have you looked for it?" Kyle whispered, "Maybe it's going to another room......"

"I looked very carefully." Dumbledore said with a grin, "Looks like you already know there's a Philosopher's Stone hidden there. ”

"Uh...... I heard it from Potter. ”

Kyle said, "During breakfast, he and Ron were discussing how to stop Professor Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone in the Forbidden Area. ”

Kyle wasn't lying when he said that, as he had heard the term "Philosopher's Stone" from Harry and Ron more than once.

Sometimes in the auditorium, sometimes in the hallway, they "conspired loudly" without noticing if anyone else was around.

It's just that most people don't care if they think they're talking nonsense.

"Looks like they've got a lot of news from Hagrid." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

He looked at Kyle again, "So you don't know where the Philosopher's Stone is?" ”

Kyle didn't speak.

"So it sees...... The Philosopher's Stone must have been taken by the Sniffer. ”

"I checked the image from the Mirror of Eris yesterday......" Dumbledore blinked, "maybe I could ask Newt, he should be able to recognize the sniff." ”
