Chapter 556: Nicol Lemay's Letter
Diana was once an Auror?
To be honest, this was a bit of a surprise to Kyle, and he subconsciously thought that Professor Moody had misremembered, but when he thought about it, it seemed likely.
Kyle remembers that when he first received his acceptance letter, he went shopping in Diagon Alley, and the shabby cauldron bar, which had been bustling, fell silent the moment Diana pushed the door open.
It's just that the identity of the mysterious affairs department is silent, which is obviously not enough to do this, after all, this identity is kept secret, and few people know.
"Auror ......"
Kyle muttered something to himself, then turned back to the classroom door, and walked with Connor towards the stairs.
For the next two weeks, Kyle continued to study with Dumbledore in the Headmaster's office every Saturday, much to the envy of anyone who knew about it.
Because Easter is approaching, it is also the last long holiday before the end of the school year.
5th grade. L. exams also seem to be on the horizon, with more and more assignments and more demanding professors.
They now use more parchment every day than they did in the past week.
Kyle was an exception, as to learn from Professor Dumbledore, he only needed to write Potions and History of Magic assignments.
Needless to say, Potions class, even Dumbledore couldn't get Snape to dismiss Kyle's homework, as for the history of magic...... It was useless for Dumbledore to say it.
Even so, Kyle saved a lot of time, and according to Mikel, Professor McGonagall now had to ask them to write a roll of parchment homework every day, and every time he went to Hogsmeade, he had to buy a stack of parchment and two bottles of ink to spare.
The day before the Easter holidays, which happened to be a Saturday, if anyone was outside the castle, the windows of the headmaster's office would be seen flashing a golden-red light.
The Headmaster's room has also completely changed, the room has been expanded countless times, and Dumbledore has moved an entire lake about the size of the Black Lagoon into his office.
On the surface of the lake, there were flames burning that had not yet been extinguished, and the temperature in the room was frighteningly high, like a stove, and the former principals were all huddled in a picture frame with winter in the background, as if this would cool them down...... Although they don't feel the change in temperature at all.
Fawkes was delighted, squinting at the perch and snorting in comfort.
"Yes, even I can't fault anything." Dumbledore said as he looked at Kyle, who was sitting in his chair, gasping for air.
He waved his wand, and in an instant, the lake vanished, and the principal's office returned to its original state.
"Have a drink, you'll love it."
A cup of hot cocoa appears on the table next to it, and Kyle picks it up and takes a big sip.
"As I said, Kyle." Dumbledore also picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip, "You've mastered this spell completely, you don't need to continue learning......
"By next Saturday, you won't have to come to me anymore and you can do what you like."
"Okay." Kyle nodded, calming down a little of his excitement before taking out the booklet Dumbledore had given him at the beginning and said, "Professor, can you give this to me?" ”
"If you like it, of course it's fine." Dumbledore smiled and said, "To be honest, when these things were published, few people read them...... Most people are not very interested in ancient runes. ”
"But there are still some people who like it, don't they?" Kyle said.
"That's right." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to tell you. ”
"What?" Kyle puts the booklet back in his pocket.
"It's about the Easter holidays." Dumbledore opened the drawer and pulled out a red shard of stone.
"This can't be Nicol's portkey......" Kyle blurted out.
The main thing is that Kyle is too familiar, and he has a piece on him, but it's blue. This was given to him by Nicol Lemet a few years ago, saying that he would be able to return to the library of his old Parisian mansion if necessary.
It's just that Kyle hasn't used it until now, and he doesn't know exactly when Nicol was talking about it.
"Looks like you remember, but I don't need to explain it anymore." Dumbledore nodded, "That's right, it's the portkey.
"Yesterday Nicol wrote to me saying that you might need this...... Oh, here it comes. ”
As he spoke, a brown owl appeared just outside the window.
Dumbledore opened the window to let it in.
The owl walked straight up to Kyle, placed a letter in his hand, and then shook his whole body, turning into a feather and disappearing.
"Don't be weird." Dumbledore duly explained, "This is what Ni could have made out of owl feathers...... In order to prevent others from finding his address through the owl. ”
Kyle nodded in understanding.
He then opened the letter.
"I take back what I said to you before, you may need to come here, and some lady seems to want to talk to you......"
The letter is not long, and there is no signature on it, except for a crown-like image drawn at the end.
"Looks like you've got something new to deal with." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Need help?" I've been pretty idle lately. ”
"Thanks, Professor, but not for now." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "It's something I asked Tony to help fix, and something seems to have gone wrong." ”
"It's strange that something Nicol has taken over can still go wrong...... Oh, I think I get it. ”
Dumbledore suddenly said: "I was still wondering what you were going to do with that locket box, whether you would destroy it directly with the basilisk's fangs, but I didn't expect it to be handed over to Nicol, this is indeed a good idea."
"I remember Nicol studying Horcruxes for a long time, and no one knows more about this than he does."
"yes, that's what I thought, too." Kyle said.
Dumbledore guessed right, but only half right, Nicol was looking for him because of the Horcrux, which was right, but not the locket.
Nicol had already said that he was busy firing on the Philosopher's Stone and the Time Turner and had no time to deal with anything else, so the locket should not have been touched by this time.
And it is not difficult to see from the tiara at the end of the letter that he is referring to the Ravenclaw tiara.
Of course, Dumbledore didn't know this.
"Professor, when is this portkey?" Kyle asked.
"Anytime." Dumbledore said, "All you have to do is take it and say Nicolame's name."
"But I suggest you'd better go tomorrow, nine a.m. is when the train leaves school.
"Don't forget that you are still a warrior, and your every move is watched, and if you leave the school early, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the guests."
"Okay, then tomorrow." Kyle said.
He didn't want to leave right away.
Nicol's letter was so sudden, that he had a lot of things he didn't understand and needed to think about it.
There was a lady who wanted to talk to him about who this person was...... Kyle doesn't think it's going to be Nicol's wife anyway.
Combined with the Ravenclaw tiara...... Kyle couldn't help but think of a possibility.
While this may sound ridiculous, there seems to be no other answer.
