By the time Kyle found Snape, he was fiddling with an old stone basin on his desk.

A circle of magic inscriptions was carved on the surface of the stone basin, and the light blue light inside flowed like a fish.

Meditation basin?

While Kyle was wondering why this thing was here, he saw Snape quickly cover the meditation basin with a flannel cloth and ask coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to come." Kyle said, "He asked me to be your assistant to help Harry learn Occlumency. ”

"Pretty proud, right?" Snape said in a long voice, "Sixteen-year-old master of Occlumency, what a great achievement, isn't it."

"So you can't wait to tell everybody that it's a kind of bragging rights? It's stupid. ”

"You're right, Professor Snape." Kyle nodded approvingly, "I don't think it's a good decision, but Headmaster Dumbledore is going to let me come anyway, and I don't dare say it." ”

"Or teach you to be straightforward and dare to tell the truth." Kyle gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, Professor, I'll get your message across to the Headmaster." ”

"The headmaster asked you to come?" Snape was stunned for a moment, he thought it was Kyle who wanted to help.

"yes."

"I'll ask him now." Snape stood up, "If you dare to lie, I don't mind giving you a two-week confinement. ”

"I wish I was lying, too." Kyle said indifferently.

Snape had barely taken two steps when he suddenly noticed Kyle's gaze glancing towards the table, which made him stop again and point in the direction of the door.

"Get out! If Dumbledore tells me there is no such thing, you will be given notice of confinement before curfew. ”

"Okay." Kyle said, leaving Snape's office somewhat disappointed.

Knowing that Snape was so guarded, he should have restrained his curiosity just now.

……

Kyle didn't receive a lockdown notice that night, but he also didn't get time to make up for Harry's lessons.

But Kyle wasn't in a hurry at all, and Snape kept it to himself, so he had an excuse to be lazy in the open.

……

The next day, the holiday began.

Early in the morning, everyone took the boxes they had packed in advance and rode to Hogsmeade Station in a carriage.

Kyle is also going to visit Sirius in London, and although he signed the list of students to stay in school the other day and can't get on the train, it's not a problem.

He went to the Headmaster's Office, but Dumbledore was still in the school and didn't leave.

A few minutes later, Kyle was found in his living room at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

"Who is it...... Oh Kyle, dear. Mrs. Weasley came out of a room and asked in surprise, "Today's train is coming so soon?" ”

"No, Mrs. Weasley, I used the portkey given to Head Dumbledore." Kyle said, pulling out a woolen glove.

"I was going to go straight to St. Mungo, but the headmaster insisted that I come here first."

"He's right." Mrs. Weasley stepped forward and hugged Kyle, "You should be on the train now, not St. Mungo, and it would be a problem to let the Ministry of Magic see it...... Come on, have you had breakfast? I made beef patties. ”

"Oh, I've already eaten it."

Having said that, Mrs. Weasley brought a large plate of steaming pies.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Kyle asked.

"I ate it." Mrs. Weasley said.

"What about the others?"

"No one else, just me." Mrs. Weasley takes Kyle to the kitchen and brings another jug full of pumpkin juice.

"Everyone has been busy lately, Arthur has to protect and look after Sirius at St. Mungo, Lupin hasn't been back for a long time, and everyone else has work. Chris and Alastor had been here last night, but neither of them had spent the night. ”

"Wait...... Who came yesterday? Kyle asked, looking up.

"You heard it right, it's your dad." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, "He officially joined the Order of the Phoenix a month ago, and Dumbledore invited him, and he was the first to discover Sirius and drive out the Death Eaters who tried to break into the Ministry of Magic. ”

Kyle wasn't particularly surprised that Chris was able to join the Order of the Phoenix, as it seemed to him that it was a matter of time.

He cared more about Mrs. Weasley's second half of the sentence...... A Death Eater trying to break into the Ministry of Magic.

So the Death Eaters were going to the Ministry of Magic that day?

Mrs. Weasley also sensed that she had slipped her mouth and immediately changed the subject.

"Eat it while the pie isn't cold yet." With that, she hurried out of the kitchen.

Kyle picked out the smallest pie and ate it as he pondered what Mrs. Weasley had just said.

It seems that the Death Eaters had intended to go to the Ministry of Magic that night, but found Sirius and the wizard named Stoic who was following them on the way.

Then they followed Voldemort's orders and tried to get rid of Sirius...... Wait, was Voldemort there at the time?

Kyle frowned, then shook his head.

It is unlikely that Voldemort will appear at this time, and Harry also says that he killed a person at the time, but neither Mr. Weasley nor anyone else mentioned the news.

"This proves that Voldemort was somewhere else at the time, and that he should have given orders to the Death Eaters through the Dark Mark mark."

But why did they go to the Ministry of Magic?

Kyle immediately thought of the Department of Mysteries.

That's probably the only place in the entire Ministry of Magic that would interest Voldemort.

Thinking of this, Kyle inexplicably became nervous, because Diana was in the Department of Mysteries.

Thankfully, they didn't break in this time.

Kyle had no appetite and pushed the beef patty aside, then took out the parchment and quill and wrote a letter to Diana.

By the time he was done, Mrs. Weasley had just returned.

"Kyle, do you want to send a letter?" She looked at the envelope in Kyle's hand and asked, "But I don't seem to see your owl." ”

"I didn't bring it with me when I came back this time." Kyle said.

"Then it's troublesome...... Mrs. Weasley, placing a basket of Christmas ribbons aside, "there are no owls here, and if you don't have one, you'll have to wait until the kids come back from vacation."

"However, if you're in a hurry, I can go to the post office in Diagon Alley to send you a letter."

"It's okay Mrs. Weasley, I'm not in a hurry." Kyle said.

In fact, he had no intention of sending letters with an owl.

Since Voldemort's resurrection, Diana has been given an urgent mission, and under normal circumstances, the owl would not be able to deliver the letter to the Department of Mysteries.

"That's good." Mrs. Weasley nodded, and went on to get the other Christmas decorations.

After she leaves, Kyle opens his box and jumps inside, waking Fawkes up while he is napping.

Although Kyle tricked Fox into ...... Well, the reason for borrowing it was to guard the basilisk, but since it came here, it has been sleeping most of the time, and it doesn't bother to look at the basilisk, so it can be said that it has done the ultimate in fishing.

But this is normal, after all, every time Kyle went to the principal's office before, Fawkes also slept on the perch, and it looked no different from now, it was just a change of environment.

Shaken awake, Fawkes poked his head out of his wings.

"I'm sorry, but can you help me get this letter to the Department of Mysteries?" Kyle asked, holding the letter.

Then he took out another handful of cloak grass, "This is the reward, give you an extra meal." ”

Fawkes' sparkling eyes stared at Kyle, and he nodded after a moment.

But instead of eating the cloak grass, it turned its head in the direction of the woods and chirped softly.

"You said you wanted to eat mandrake?" Kyle didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement, "No problem, I'll pick you the biggest pot when you come back." ”

Now, Fawkes wasn't sleepy anymore, flapped his wings and flew to Kyle's shoulder, taking the envelope in his hand.

"Better leave it to my mom and call Diana ......" Kyle continued, "If you can find her, I'll add two more Brussels sprouts to you."

Fawkes rubbed his head against Kyle's neck and disappeared in a burst of firelight.

"It's so convenient." Kyle smacked his lips, a pang of envy in his heart.

The role of the phoenix is really too great, not only tears can heal wounds, but also have a unique phantom shapeshift, whether it is to send a letter, alert, or run away, it is very convenient.

What's more, it can also resist the life-requiring spell for its master with its immortal characteristics at critical moments, and it is simply an all-round magical beast.

Let's take a look at our own fire dragon......

Kyle glanced at Noble, who was scaring the Moon Beast not far away, and pursed his lips in disgust.

It's so stupid, it's really no harm if there is no comparison......

Needless to sense something, Noble let go of the Moon Idiot in his claws, looked up at Kyle, and snorted happily.

Two small flames erupted, igniting the tail of a moon beast.

Taken aback, Noble quickly swallowed the hapless moon beast into his mouth, and did not spit it out until the fire was extinguished.

"Okay......" Kyle smacked his lips,

It's a little stupid, but there is nothing too big wrong with other aspects, which is good.

Kyle waited a little longer, and after about five minutes, Fawkes returned, bringing a brooch with him.

The dragon scale brooch, a souvenir they bought on their last trip to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary, was also given by Chris to Diana.

"Did you really find her?" Kyle asked subconsciously.

But he soon realized that he had done too much, and if he hadn't found anyone, where had the brooch come from.

Kyle immediately made good on his promise, picked a pot of the best-growing mandrake for Fawkes, dug up two more brussels sprouts, and placed them in front of Fawkes along with the previous cloak grass.

"Eat, it's not enough, there's still ......" Kyle touched the feathers around Fawkes' neck, and reluctantly left the box.

He would have liked to stay a little longer, but now that his suitcase was still on the kitchen stool, Mrs. Weasley could come back at any time, and it would be troublesome if he was discovered.

So it's better to go back as soon as possible.

……

Luckily, when Kyle came out of the box, Mrs. Weasley was still busy setting up the Christmas decorations outside.

Kyle leaves the kitchen after putting the boxes away, helping her hang the Parasite and Holly on the walls and ceiling.

By noon, it was still just him and Mrs. Weasley.

It wasn't until half past five in the afternoon that anyone returned.

To Kyle's surprise, it turns out to be Bill and Charlie.

"Mom...... It's time to pick them up at the station, do you know where you put your car keys? Bill shouted as soon as he entered.

Then he saw Kyle standing in the foyer, and was slightly stunned.

"Kyle, when are you coming back?"

"I'm the only one, I didn't take the train." Kyle explained briefly and asked, "What about you guys, when did you come back?" ”

"Just a week ago." Bill said, "Dad thought the Death Eaters were going to make a move soon, so Charlie and I both took long leave. ”

At this time, Mrs. Weasley hurried over and handed Bill a bunch of keys.

"Honey, you can drive."

"Of course, Mom," said Bill, taking the keys, "I almost bought one when I was a spell solver, and it's sometimes so much more convenient than a broom and a flying carpet."

"Kyle, I'm going to King's Cross now, do you want to come along?"

"Nope." Kyle shook his head, "I'm going to take a trip to St. Mungo." ”

"That's right." Charlie also walked over, "I'm going to pick up my father's class at six o'clock, we can be together, you shouldn't be able to use apparition in the open right now." ”

"Nope." Kyle sighed, "So I'm going to take the subway, and by the time I get to St. Mungo, the train should have arrived." ”

"Don't bother, I'll take you." Charlie said.

It can save time on the subway, and Kyle naturally has no reason to refuse.

……

So at six o'clock, the two showed up on time at a phone booth near St. Mungo.

"This is a place for wizards to apparition, like the fireplace of Floo Net." Charlie explained.

It was the first time Kyle had heard of such a place in St. Mungo, and he couldn't help but look left and right.

He felt that it was an ordinary phone booth, and the space was very small.

"It doesn't seem like it's a big place, what if there were a lot of wizards coming together."

"There's a Traceless Stretching Charm." "The more people there are, the bigger it gets, so there's no need to worry, no matter how many people you stand, it won't feel crowded." ”

He pushed open the door and walked out, and not far from the left was the department store with a sign that read "Closed for Renovation".

When Kyle came out, he saw a tall woman looking behind him curiously.

"Strange, when did there be an extra phone booth here?" She muttered to herself and walked over to see what was going on.

But just as the woman's hand was about to touch the phone booth, it suddenly stopped, and then she seemed to think of something important, and ran quickly forward.

"Keep up, Kyle." Charlie stood in front of the shop window and said to the dummy inside, "Hello, we're coming to visit Sirius Black." ”

The dummy nodded slightly.

Charlie went straight through the glass and vanished, and Kyle quickly followed.

St. Mungo's waiting room was still as crowded as before, with rows of witches and witches sitting on rickety wooden chairs, some looking normal and some of all sorts of strange shapes.

However, Kyle and Charlie did not stay here, and after entering St. Mungo, they went directly to the second floor, where Sirius was located.

"I'm fine, can't you let me go home?"

As soon as he reached the door, Kyle heard Sirius's voice coming from inside, "Arthur, Harry is on vacation, and I want to spend Christmas with him at home, not at St. Mungo." ”

"I understand what you mean, but the therapist said that the runic snake venom on your body has just been cleaned up, and you will need to observe for a few days."

Charlie pushed the door open, interrupting the conversation between the two.

The ward was small and dark, except for a small window on the wall opposite the door.

There were three people inside, and Sirius's hospital bed was at the outermost, closest to the door.

He looked up as they walked in, and when he saw who it was, he laughed happily.

"It's been a long time since I saw Kyle, you guys are on vacation?" Then, he glanced out the door, somewhat nervously.

"Don't look at it, just the two of us." Kyle said, "Harry may not be here for a while. ”

"Ah, it's not." Sirius said, "I don't really want Harry to come and visit me. ”

"I understand."

Mr. Weasley and Charlie go outside, and Kyle pulls out the gifts he had prepared...... A big bag of chocolates, all flavors.

Sirius's eyes began to light up at the sight of chocolate, and he couldn't wait to take apart a chocolate frog and throw it into his mouth.

Since his acquittal, he has developed the habit of eating chocolate every day, or every wizard who comes out of Azkaban.

"Arthur won't let me eat these, saying it's not good for wound recovery." He said vaguely, "I don't really care, these minor injuries are nothing compared to the Dementors." ”

"You still have to be careful." Kyle laughed and said, "At least the sooner you recover, the sooner you'll be discharged." ”

"Well, you're right." Sirius smacked his lips, but finally resisted the idea of eating another piece.

"I've heard Hogwarts has a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor......" Sirius didn't pay any attention to the other two patients here, and exclaimed, "That Fudge's echoworm, disgusting toad, she didn't embarrass you." ”

"It's impossible not to be embarrassed." Kyle shrugged, "I'm sure if Harry were asked to write a list of the most hated professors, Snape would have to be behind her." ”

In just half a semester, he surpassed Snape. That's telling.

"That damn toad." Sirius thumped the hospital bed angrily, "If she dares to hurt Harry, I won't let her go!" ”

"Don't get excited." Kyle glanced at the other two people in the room, "I have a solution to this." ”

"Don't mess around." Sirius frowned, "That person is terrible, but she represents the Ministry of Magic after all, and it will be a problem if you do something to her." ”

"Don't worry, I know." Kyle smiled and said, "And I should be telling you that." ”

"Ha, you're right." Sirius couldn't help but laugh too.

The two talked for a while, and Mr. Weasley and Charlie came in.

"Dean Sathya, why are you here?" Mr. Weasley said, pushing the door open.

Kyle and Sirius looked over as well.

"I heard Dumbledore say you're probably coming to St. Mungo at this time." She said, "How about a cup of tea, I just have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Ah, of course no problem." Kyle said. He turned to Sirius, "I'll come back to see you later." ”

After the two left, Sirius blinked a little dazedly, "Arthur, Kyle still knows St. Mungo's Dean?" ”

"Hmm...... Kyle defeated a werewolf here during his first year break, earning him the Order of the Order of Sir Merlin. Mr. Weasley said, "I think that's how they met." ”

"But that was years ago." Sirius said, "Is it worth the trip that Dean Sassya made the trip to invite Kyle to tea?"

"Didn't healer Hebercrates say that the Dean of St. Mungo's was busy, and that woman ......?"

Sirius pointed to the bed in the middle, "The Flint family, she donated five hundred Galleons before she was discharged from the hospital, and she just met each other." ”

"yes, just a few words." Mr. Weasley nodded.

In fact, he was a little surprised by Kyle's relationships, but he didn't care too much, just because of Dumbledore.

After all, the last time they came, it was the dean who brought them over.

"By the way, Sirius." Mr. Weasley said, "I have to go back to work tomorrow, there are so many things piled up, and then Charlie will take care of you here in my place." ”

"No, let him go back too, it's the busiest time." Sirius shook his head and said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me here. ”

"It's better to be cautious." Mr. Weasley said.
