Chapter 655: Harry's Dream
Since he couldn't visit Sirius, when Harry finished eating his cake, it seemed that he suddenly had nothing to do.
"What the hell is going on?" Taking advantage of this time, Kyle also asked the doubts in his heart.
From the time he was called to the headmaster's office until now, he had no idea what was going on, and he didn't have time to ask, so he just followed Dumbledore in a daze.
"I seem to ...... I had a dream. Harry said, looking hesitant, but whispered, "I was writing my Charms homework, but suddenly I fell asleep and had a very strange dream. ”
"In my dreams I seemed to be Voldemort...... Well, I know it's unbelievable, and it's normal for you to think I'm talking gibberish......"
"I believe it." Kyle said, glancing at the scar on Harry's forehead.
"Thank you......," said Harry, reassuringly, "Anyway, it was Voldemort who gave him an order to teach the 'tail' who followed him a lesson...... Then I...... Oh no, Voldemort killed a man with a Requirition Curse. ”
"Who is it?" Kyle asked, "Are you also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?" ”
"I don't know." Harry fiddled with the cup in his hand, "I don't know him, and I've never seen him. ”
Kyle frowned, "And then." ”
Then I was woken up by Ron, who said I had been talking in my dreams and thought I was having nightmares...... But my scar hurt all the time, like a fire burning.
"Hermione, uneasy, called Professor McGonagall, and I told her what I had seen in my dream, and she didn't think I was having a nightmare, and took me to the Headmaster's office."
Kyle suddenly said, "So, did you hear in your dream that they were going to attack Sirius?" ”
"No, I didn't hear the name." Harry shook his head, "It's Professor Dumbledore, and he used a special magic...... I don't know what the spell was, it was supposed to be used to deliver the message, and a few minutes later Mr. Weasley found Sirius. ”
At this, Harry shuddered and looked terrified.
He was glad that both Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore had chosen to take his word for it.
From what they heard in the Headmaster's office, Mr. Weasley and Moody were tormented by Sirius when he found him, and no one knew what would have happened if it had been a little later.
The thought that Sirius might die made Harry tremble as he felt his stomach being clutched by a large hand.
Looking at him, Kyle didn't ask anything more, but got up and left the tea room, ready to go to the store to buy Harry a cup of hot cocoa.
He just noticed that there was this in the store.
It's just that he had just left when he saw two familiar people appear in the direction of the stairs.
"Mr. Weasley...... Tonks. Kyle waved his hand, and the two immediately walked over to him.
"Kyle, is Harry with you?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"He's in there." Kyle gestured to the tearoom's box, "What's the matter?" ”
"That's good." Mr. Weasley said, "It's getting late, and I need to send them back to Hogwarts." ”
"What?"
Before Kyle could speak, Harry pushed open the door to the tearoom, "I'm not going back, Sirius is still here." ”
"Didn't you already visit him just now?" Mr. Weasley said, "Don't forget, you have class tomorrow, and I'm here."
"And just now, that house-elf named Kreacher also came."
"But......" Harry was about to say more, but he saw Mr. Weasley shake his head with a serious look on his face.
"That's what Sirius meant, I guess he doesn't want you to see how weak he is......"
"But I don't care." Harry exclaimed, "I don't care what he becomes. ”
"Anyway, you have to go back." Mr. Weasley said firmly.
Looking at Harry's stubborn look, he lowered his voice and said, "Think about the Ministry of Magic, you came to St. Mungo as soon as Sirius was injured, this is suspicious enough in itself, but fortunately, Professor Dumbledore found a reason to help you hide the past, but I don't feel like they are completely convinced."
"If you don't want to be cross-examined, you'd better go back to Hogwarts now."
Harry was still hesitant.
"Be patient, wait a few more days." Mr. Weasley's tone softened, "Come back at Christmas break, you'll be fine, you can stay as long as you want." ”
Harry didn't speak, only nodded silently after a few minutes.
"Very well, I knew you would make the right choice." Mr. Weasley smiled and said, "Then don't waste time, go back early and you can sleep a little longer." ”
"How are we going to get back?" Harry asked, "Is it still apparition?" ”
"That's right, that's the quickest way to do it." Mr. Weasley said, "But we have to go outside first, St. Mungo, like Hogwarts, apparitions are forbidden." ”
"Wait a minute...... Harry said, "but we're apparitions." ”
"I don't know, maybe Dumbledore has another way, but I definitely can't do it."
Mr. Weasley said, "Actually, Dumbledore originally wanted to send you back with him, but he had to deal with the people of the Ministry of Magic and couldn't leave anytime soon, so this task was given to us.
“…… Tonks, you're at the front, and if there's anyone from the Ministry of Magic, give us a heads-up. ”
Tonks didn't seem to be in a good mood, as evidenced by her orange, straw-like hair.
However, after hearing Mr. Weasley's words, she nodded and walked forward.
"Alright, keep up." Mr. Weasley waved his hand, and Kyle and Harry followed.
The people from the Ministry of Magic should have been there at Dumbledore's place at this time, and the few of them didn't stop at all, and went directly from the tea room on the sixth floor to the waiting room on the first floor, and then they came outside, in front of a department store with a sign that read "Closed for Renovation".
"No one now." Mr. Weasley looked left and right, "Hurry up, Tonks." ”
With that, he grabbed Harry's arm and disappeared into place.
Looking at this scene, Kyle subconsciously thought that when he was apparitioned by the phoenix, his stomach began to churn again for a while.
"Or I'll do it myself." Kyle looked at Tonks and said, "I'm actually apparition too." ”
"I know, but not to be on the safe side." Tonks shook his head, "It's illegal for underage wizards to use apparition, and if someone from the Ministry of Magic sees it, you're in trouble. ”
"But I'm in the sixth grade." Kyle still wanted to struggle, "It should be fine." ”
"Then you'll have to wait until after Christmas, when you've completed the illusion exam." Tonks grabbed Kyle's arm, "Get ready." ”
There was another crisp sound.
By the time Kyle opened his eyes again, he was already at the door of Jokowi's joke shop.
Because Hogwarts forbade apparitions, Tonks had no choice but to send him here, as did Harry and Mr. Weasley.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Hogsmeade was silent, with all the shops closed, and a layer of silver-white moonlight on the pointed roofs of the houses, which looked quiet and beautiful, a completely different scene from the daytime.
Several people walked on the same path to Hogholtz.
Tonks was very interested in Harry being able to dream of Voldemort, and when she was in St. Mungo, she had endured it for fear of someone eavesdropping, and now she finally found an opportunity.
"You don't have prophetic blood in your family." She asked curiously, "Or if there has ever been a famous prophet......
"Nope." Harry said, "And I don't think it's a prophecy. ”
"That's right." Tonks muttered, "After all, you don't see the future, but what is happening, and this is still different from prophecy...... It's strange, do you have any special talents? ”
There are always one or two lucky people in the wizarding world who are inherently different from other wizards, such as Tonks himself as a disguised Magus.
She is able to change her appearance at will, and the human transformation magic, which is extremely difficult for others, is as easy for her as eating and drinking.
She thought Harry was the same.
"I don't know." Harry said he didn't want to discuss the topic.
Because in the dream, he became Voldemort.
Harry felt sick now when he thought about that experience, and if it was a gift, he would rather not.
Fortunately, at this time, they also came to the school gate.
Mr. Weasley stopped and didn't go any further.
"Then you'll be safe." "We can't leave St Mungo's for too long, we need to go back as soon as possible and see you over the Christmas holidays," he said. ”
"Goodbye."
Once Kyle and Harry walked through the school gates, Mr. Weasley and Tonks apparitioned and left again.
The school was as quiet as Hogsmeade, and the two of them made their way through the grounds and up the stone steps to the oak doors of the castle.
The door was closed, but it wasn't a problem, and Kyle took out his wand and easily opened a crack.
"Come over here, Lady Loris......"
Filch's voice came from upstairs, and it was unusually harsh in the silence of the castle.
"Oops, it's Filch......" Harry looked up nervously, "will he find out we're not in the dorm anymore." ”
"Don't be nervous, Filch can't go to the dorm to check who's not in bed." Kyle said, "It's probably just a normal night round...... Did you bring an invisibility cloak? ”
"Nope." Harry shook his head.
He was taken directly from the bed to the principal's office, and even the robe on his body was grabbed indiscriminately before going out, how could he be wearing an invisibility cloak.
"What about the Illusion Spell, will you?" "It's the same effect. ”
"What spell?" Harry blinked.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Kyle said, "Well, you follow me, and I'll send you back to the Gryffindor common room." ”
"You're sending me back?" Harry suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I almost forgot, you have an invisibility cloak ...... too"
"No, I don't need that." Kyle laughed and said, "Just follow me, remember to keep a distance, but not too far, just like you did at St. Mungo." ”
"No, no." Harry shook his head quickly.
The Hufflepuff common room was so close to the foyer that Kyle could have gone back first, and there was no need to venture upstairs with him.
In this way, even if he is discovered, Filch will only be able to catch him alone.
But before Harry could say anything more, Kyle took the lead up the stairs.
Harry's heart immediately rose to his throat, and based on his experience with night trips, he was sure that Kyle would be spotted by Filch if he went upstairs so blatantly, and neither of them would be able to escape.
Harry tried to catch up and alert Kyle, but he was only halfway up the stairs when Kyle was already on the second floor.
At the same time, his worst fears also happened.
"Hah, got you!"
A dim oil lamp moved quickly from the other side of the hallway, and soon came to the staircase.
Harry only had to look up to see Filch's gloating face behind the oil lamp.
"It's me, Filch."
Just as Harry was hesitating what to do, he suddenly heard Kyle's calm voice, which felt like he was greeting Filch, and he couldn't hear the panic when he was caught on the night walk.
Kyle certainly doesn't panic, he's privileged.
"Is that you?"
After seeing Kyle's appearance clearly, Filch's face instantly became disappointed, "Why are you here?" ”
"Of course, just like you, come and look for anyone suspicious." Kyle said calmly, "This is a task given to us by Professor Umbridge, and the sooner it is done, the better." ”
Filch stopped talking for a moment, because he had to follow Kyle's command from that matter alone.
This has made Filch uncomfortable, so he has been avoiding direct contact with Kyle in recent times.
Now that Kyle has mentioned it again, Filch immediately wants to leave.
Also wanting to leave is Lady Loris.
From the moment he saw Kyle, he exploded, his body tensed, and his ears were bent back, making him look like he was facing a great enemy.
Soon, Filch noticed this as well.
"Lady Loris, what's wrong with you?"
He was answered by a high-pitched howl and the sound of claws rubbing against the floor.
Kyle probably guessed why Lady Loris was like this, and it had something to do with the basilisk.
Just an hour ago, when he had released the basilisk from the chest, he inevitably got the smell of the basilisk on his body.
It's a smell that wizards can't detect, but it's very sensitive to animals, and Lady Loris must have smelled it.
Of course, even if he knew what was going on, Kyle wouldn't have been able to tell Filch.
"I think Lady Loris must have discovered something, you can take him in the direction of the tower, and I'll leave it here."
"I don't need you to teach me how to do it." Filch's face became even more ugly, and he glared at Kyle for another minute before turning away with a cold face.
"Let's go, Lady Loris."
As the dim oil lamp faded away, Kyle waved his hand behind his back and continued to walk up.
At the corner of the staircase, Harry was stunned by the maneuver, and stood a little stunned.
How could he not have imagined that a crisis would be so lightly resolved by Kyle?
In a trance, he thought it was daylight, but the bright moonlight in the corridor reminded him that it was indeed curfew time.
It wasn't until the footsteps were getting farther and farther away that he suddenly came back to his senses and chased after him.
They went all the way to the eighth floor, in front of the portrait of the fat lady, and Filch never reappeared.
"How the hell did you do that?" Harry couldn't help but ask, "Filch didn't punish you." ”
"Because I have the privilege of coming and going as I like at any time in order to capture you DA, I can come and go as I please, including curfew." Kyle looked back and asked, "You know the password." ”
"Ah, yes." Harry said, "Fennel cereal. ”
"The taste of the fat lady is really ...... Well, unique. Kyle couldn't help but mutter.
"Thanks for the compliment, but I prefer marmalade cereal." The voice of the fat lady came from the portrait.
Harry was about to say something, but by this time, because he had received the password, the portrait of the fat lady had already opened, revealing the passage behind him.
"Harry, are you back?" The voices of Hermione and Ron could be heard in the hallway.
"It's me." Harry said.
"Alright, you can go back quickly." Kyle glanced at him, "If you ever have another dream like today, remember to tell Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall as soon as possible."
"Also, if Umbridge asks tomorrow, you'll say that the Headmaster told you that Sirius was sent to St. Mungo, and nothing else, especially your dream."
"I know." Harry said.
