Chapter 437: The Escaped Dementor
Kyle's words caused the entire principal's office to fall silent for an instant.
Dumbledore had seen a lot of big scenes, but now he suddenly found himself at a loss for what to say.
The same goes for the portraits on the walls.
In the portrait, a thin wizard looks at Kyle without saying a word, the expression on his face constantly changing.
He also has a portrait of him at the Ministry of Magic, and often goes there to take a look at it and ask about the latest situation in the wizarding world.
Therefore, he still knows a little about Connelly Fudge...... But no matter what he thought, he couldn't connect the man who was keen on drilling power and expanding his network with what Kyle had just said.
As for Phineas, it's more straightforward.
"Albus......" he said to Dumbledore in front of Kyle, "Check it out, I think this kid must have fallen under someone's Imperius curse." ”
Phineas also knew Fudge, and in his own words...... "Millifit was bad enough, he was even better." ”
Milifer was the Minister of Magic one hundred and fifty years ago, and she passed many unnecessary bills during her tenure...... For example, the angle of the wizard's hat and so on.
At that time, wizards had to spend twenty minutes every time they went out to check if there was anything wrong with their clothes.
But after seeing Fudge, Phineas suddenly felt that Millife was not bad, at least she passed a lot of very practical bills every year.
As for Fudge, he has been in office for a few years, and the only thing he can say a few words about is last year's Muggle Protection Act.
"Phineas ...... I don't think anyone in school can use the Imperius Curse on a student. Dumbledore said calmly.
"Then how did he start talking nonsense?" Phineas said.
"I can get someone to check it out for him." Another witch spoke.
Dalyse Devante, the headmaster of Hogwarts 200 years ago and a famous healer, is still in St. Mungo's Hospital for the Wounded and Magical.
Dumbledore shook his head, ignoring their words, instead looking at Kyle with interest.
"I knew you always had something to surprise me...... Mind telling me what you think? ”
"If the Minister of Magic was someone else, like Barty Crouch, then Sirius would not be easy to overturn, but only Fudge...... It's a lot easier.
"But before that......"
He looked at Sirius, "Do you know of any people who have been identified as Death Eaters, but haven't been caught yet?" ”
Sirius shook his head blankly.
Most of the people he knew had been neighbors with him for twelve years, and the rest had all been whitewashed...... As for whether there were any fish that slipped through the net, he didn't have time to investigate.
"I have some news on this." Dumbledore said suddenly, "There are two Death Eaters who have changed their identities and have been operating in the shadows, but they are not important people. ”
"That's enough." Kyle said, "As long as you can be sure it's a Death Eater." ”
"Why are you asking this?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Give a gift." Kyle rightly said, "People are doing you such a big favor, you have to bring something." ”
Dumbledore thought for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"I knew you always had a surprise for me!" He said again.
……
By the next day, Dumbledore had left the school, and Sirius was gone.
Harry came several times to inquire about the situation, but he didn't see anyone, so he couldn't even eat.
But Kyle eats quite well, and even eats more.
Harry asked, but he just shook his head, saying that he didn't know where Sirius and Dumbledore had gone.
Kyle really doesn't know.
He wanted to follow, but Dumbledore wouldn't take him.
But that's fine......
Two more days have passed, and they have not returned.
Kyle woke up early that day, and after breakfast, he went to Hogsmeade through the statue of the hunchbacked witch on the fourth floor, under the pretext that something was wrong.
Today was the agreed day, and he was going to the Dementors to get something.
Hogsmeade was peaceful.
Kyle searched for a long time before finally spotting a familiar black robe between Hogsmeade and the school......
It was a Dementor, but not sure if it was that night, after all, it seemed to him that all Dementors were the same.
Kyle was about to ask, but just as he approached the Dementor, the other man flew away like a cat with its tail stepped on.
Kyle was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after it, there was such a dementor nearby, and he couldn't let it run.
Although the Dementor can fly, it can't seem to get out of this area, and is quickly overtaken by Kyle......
Kyle was a little strange, the Dementor was smaller than he had seen before, and his robes were a little more torn, and even his hooded cloak was about to turn into a jacket.
"What are you running ......," Kyle said, "I'll ask you something......
The Dementor didn't speak, just tightened the few torn robes that were left on his body.
"Where's your leader......" Kyle thought for a moment, then added, "Not from the Ministry of Magic." ”
The Dementor held out his hand and pointed in the direction of the castle, his arm looking unusually ugly in the sunlight because of the missing sleeve, black and white, as if it had been sunburned.
"Is it over there at the castle?" Kyle asked again.
The Dementor nodded.
After receiving the answer, Kyle immediately walked in the direction of the castle, but before leaving, he threw a dark blue cloth to the Dementor and asked him to mend his sleeve as a thank you for helping to show him the way.
This is what Kyle prepared for the Quidditch World Cup memorabilia, but it is not black, so he can only make do with dark blue.
But the Dementors probably wouldn't mind this little thing.
……
Hogsmeade wasn't far from the castle, and within minutes, Kyle was already seeing the castle gates.
There were two Dementors guarding there.
But this time there was no need to ask, as soon as Kyle was noticed, one of the Dementors immediately floated over.
"You should have seen it, Dumbledore didn't bother you...... So she said something. Kyle asked straight to the point.
The Dementors were also very simple, "Ancient Mansion Underground Storage Room...... Portrait...... Behind the third wall tile ......"
"Where's the old mansion?"
"I don't know...... She didn't say ......"
"Okay." Kyle nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "What about the things I gave you earlier?" ”
The Dementor reached out and pulled out an envelope and an empty vial.
In exchange, Kyle gives him a few chocolates.
"These are all things that make people happy, I guess it's my payment for buying news, you can bring these back to her...... Maybe you can all add a meal. Kyle said with a smile.
The Dementor didn't understand, but he understood the refreshment...... So I put the chocolates away.
After doing all this, Kyle walked through the school gates.
However, he did not go straight back to the castle, but found a remote place and lit the envelope with his wand.
In the process, a murmuring voice came from the envelope.
"Gringotts...... Vault ......"
Kyle then pulls out the empty bottle.
"Divided!"
The bottle exploded, turning into a pile of splinters and mixing with the ashes of the envelope.
"Clear water is like a spring!"
"Clean up!"
After two spells in a row, the ground instantly became as clean as new, leaving no trace.
