Chapter 611: The Truth
"How could they say that about Sirius."
After lunchtime, Kyle was passing by the stairs when he heard Harry angrily shouting at Professor McGonagall.
"Deliberately harming students, suspected Death Eaters? How is this possible, he is a phoenix ......"
"Potter!" Professor McGonagall snapped, interrupting his next words, "This is a decision made by the Ministry of Magic, and we must cooperate. ”
"But......" Harry knew he had said the wrong thing, but he was in too much of a hurry.
Sirius was inexplicably taken away, and he was involved with the Death Eaters, which was really hard for him to accept.
"But Professor, hasn't he been acquitted?"
The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched, and after a moment of silence, she said, "All I can tell you is that things are not what you think...... Anyway, this matter will be solved by Headmaster Dumbledore, you just need to prepare well and complete this year's . L. Exam is on the line. ”
Harry wanted to ask something more, but Professor McGonagall left.
Unanswered, Harry slammed the staircase railing, while Ron and Hermione looked at him worriedly.
Kyle's expression changed, and it seemed that there was something hidden about Sirius being taken away......
Driven by curiosity, he decided to ask Dumbledore about it.
So that afternoon, after the last section of the history of magic, Kyle went to the eighth floor, in front of the dripping mouth stone beast.
"Maomaoya Mint ......"
"Pepper Boy......"
"Syrup cherries!"
After the third attempt, the statue finally moved, got up and jumped to the side, revealing a passage behind it.
The password of the principal's office is not difficult to guess, as long as you read the list of goods of Duke Honey, it is usually some relatively best-selling products, or new products.
When Kyle pushed open the oak door at the back of the passage and entered the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk writing letters.
When he heard the commotion, he glanced up, "I thought you would come looking for me at noon." ”
Dumbledore put down the quill in his hand, "Is it about Sirius?" ”
"Sort of." Kyle said as he walked over to Fawkes and rubbed the feathers around its neck.
"What the hell happened, it can't be because a student was injured in his dueling class."
"There's a reason for that." Dumbledore said, "Some parents wrote to me last year accusing him of being a little radical in his teaching methods. ”
"But it's more for another reason......" Dumbledore paused before continuing, "I received word that Peter Pettigrew had died, and that someone had seen a large black dog near Azkaban. ”
"Peter Pettigrew is dead?" Kyle said incredulously, "Could it be fake news?" ”
"Nope." Dumbledore shook his head, "I've confirmed that it was Peter. ”
"When."
"A week ago." Dumbledore said.
"It couldn't be Sirius." Kyle was convinced, "It was already school, and he was always in school.
While he was indeed the one who wanted to kill Peter Pettigrew the most, with Harry in his presence, he wouldn't risk it. ”
"I thought so too, but the Ministry of Magic didn't believe it, and they insisted that I was helping Sirius hide it."
Dumbledore folded the parchment in his hand twice and put it in an envelope.
"And what about the Death Eaters?" Kyle continued, "I've heard that Sirius's reason for being taken away was also related to the Death Eaters. ”
"I don't know, maybe Peter Pettigrew said something before, which caused him to misunderstand." Dumbledore said.
He placed the letter on the table, and Fox pushed his head against Kyle, then grabbed the letter and flew out of the window.
Kyle was a little surprised that there weren't many people in the wizarding world who could get Dumbledore to send letters on Fox.
Is it for Nicol? He thought to himself.
"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly spoke, "Although you are very happy in the Great Hall, I have to remind you that this new Professor Umbridge is not as generous as the other professors.
"Professor McGonagall shares my thoughts, and she thinks you'd better be careful not to get caught."
"It's okay, I have a way to deal with her."
Kyle didn't seem to pay much attention to Dumbledore's reminders.
"But speaking of which......" he glanced at Dumbledore, "Professor, what we discussed at Hoghead's Bar...... You probably haven't forgotten it. ”
"Yes...... I haven't forgotten. ”
Dumbledore's fingers twitched, and his tone became a little helpless, "Actually, I've met with Amelia recently, along with Barty, Arthur, your dad Chris, and had a drink with Dug at the Leaky Cauldron two days ago. ”
"Then there's no need to worry." Kyle said.
Just as he was about to go back to the auditorium for dinner, he suddenly thought of another thing, and turned back and asked:
"Professor, can you tell me about your plans?"
"What?" Dumbledore didn't seem to understand.
"It's your plan to get fired from the Wizengamot and confuse Fudge and the Mystery." Kyle said, "I've noticed that the number of voters is much worse.
"Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it."
"This ......"
"There are some things you may not know very well......" Dumbledore suddenly became distracted, and his tone was a little inexplicably embarrassed.
"Neither the Wizengamot nor the International Confederation of Wizards meetings can get everybody there.
"For example, a potions master, when he brews certain precious potions, he will never leave the room under any circumstances, and the same is true for certain magic experiments."
"So you're really fired?"
"Ahem, you can't say that." Dumbledore fiddled with the silverware on the table, "There are still benefits...... Those positions take up a lot of my time, and after I am relieved of these burdens, I can concentrate on the most important things in front of me. ”
"Okay, I see." Kyle turned and opened the oak door, "Goodbye Professor, then." ”
"Next week's password is Lemon Snow Treasure, you don't need to guess if you come again." Dumbledore said, "Good luck. ”
"So do you, Professor."
After leaving the principal's office, Kyle heads straight to the auditorium.
Dinner was about to begin, and the auditorium was packed.
Connor gave him a spot, and when Kyle sat down, he heard Cedric talking to Mikel about recruiting for the team.
Last year there was one spot missing in the team, and this year two more people graduated, so they have to recruit a total of three.
A goalkeeper, a chaser, and a batsman.
"It's nine o'clock on Saturday morning." "Because there are more newcomers joining this time, I hope you can all come and see if the newcomers can work better with you." ”
"I'm fine." "It's better to have a senior hitter, because the second-year players are too young and don't have enough power. ”
Kyle shrugged indifferently. He doesn't have much to ask of his teammates for the rest of him, as long as he doesn't hold back.
"It must be fine." Cedric said expectantly, "I wish the Quidditch match could start soon, we have Kyle's Firebolt this year, and even if there are more newcomers, the other houses will not be our opponents." ”
