Chapter 685: Voldemort's suspicions

No one thought that the prophecy ball would be so fragile, it just fell down a step and was directly shattered.

Harry too, he had always thought it was sturdy, otherwise he wouldn't have put it in his pocket.

He sat on the ground, staring blankly at where the prophecy ball shattered.

A milky white figure with eyes that seemed to have been magnified many times rose into the air.

Harry always felt a little familiar, how could those trademark bulging eyes look so much like Professor Trelawney in Divination class...... If you add another pair of glasses, it's almost identical.

Then the figure spoke, and made a voice that seemed to murmur,

"At the moment when the winner is decided, there will be a new ......"

The voice of the figure was too quiet, and Harry only heard it, and the rest of the words were drowned out by the sounds of crashes, shouts, and screams around him.

At the same time, he was dragged to another place by a man.

"Get out of the way......" Harry heard Sirius' anxious voice.

It didn't take long for him to know why.

Two consecutive spells of different colors landed where he had been sitting, and if Sirius hadn't been dragged away in time, he might have been finished.

"Thank you." Harry quickly stood up.

"Don't be in a daze." Sirius stared at Bellatrix in the distance with a serious face, and reminded him without looking back.

Bellatrix also saw the crystal ball shattered.

"No!" She screamed, casting a spell on Harry like crazy.

Voldemort demanded that the crystal ball be brought back intact, but now everything was messed up, which was unacceptable to Bellatrix, who now only wanted to kill Harry...... Maybe this will make up for it.

Bellatrix, who was frantically casting a spell, did not notice that a ball of dragon flame had appeared above her head.

A Death Eater next to her quickly grabbed her, dragged her to the nearest door without saying a word, and escaped the room.

Before the door was shut, Bellatrix's heart-rending screams could be heard, "I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him...... Master, I did my best, don't punish me! ”

And their act of escaping also caused a series of chain reactions.

The Death Eaters lost the courage to continue fighting, and dispersed, all of them who had strength or luck fled the room as soon as possible, and the rest were blocked by Sirius and Luping who reacted.

……

"Haha, I'm so lucky to have caught the jackpot."

Sirius approached with a Death Eater in his hand.

It was Antonin Dolokhov, who had just tormented Moody, and this was really a jackpot.

Sirius seemed to have used a full-body restraint spell, and he was now stiff, his eyes glaring at everyone viciously.

But no one in the room cared.

"I think we should keep him and leave it to him when Alastor wakes up." Lupin said.

He also carried a tall Death Eater in his hand.

"It's McNeil." Kingsley said, "A member of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, I should have thought he was joining the Death Eaters." ”

At this point, the battle was basically over.

The remaining Death Eaters, realizing that they were no longer able to escape, almost scrambled to throw away their wands and surrender.

Two minutes later, Lowe staggered back to Kyle, and fell to the ground with a thud, shaking off a large cloud of dust and rubble.

While the Three-Headed Dog can ignore most spells, it can't stand it if multiple wizards cast spells at the same time.

There were a dozen Death Eaters here, and Mr. Weasley and Lupin couldn't afford to see that many of them.

Lu Wei's body was scorched all over his body, and there was a long and narrow wound on the far left of his head, and the blood that flowed out fell to the ground drop by drop.

"Good work, Lou Wei." Kyle touched its chin, and the other two heads immediately came over when they saw this, and the three heads almost started a fight.

Noble also fell back to the ground, presumably because of his ability to fly, and with his ranged attack capabilities, he was in a better position than Lowe, and it seemed to be a bit unfinished.

"It's amazing...... Lupin tilted his head and couldn't help but say, "I never thought that I would be able to see a three-headed dog and a fire dragon in the Ministry of Magic."

"And what I can't understand is that they are so ...... Docile. ”

Subconsciously, Lupin wanted to step forward and smooth the blackened fur on the three-headed dog, but as soon as his hand reached out, a huge head turned around and roared at him.

Lupin immediately retracted his hand in a scornful manner, and he decided to retract what he had just said, this big guy is not docile at all...... At least for anyone other than Kyle.

Others also gathered around.

Harry found the cat-leopard in the crowd, walked over and bowed sincerely, "Thank you......"

The first time Bellatrix used the Killing Curse on him, it was the cat-leopard who kicked him before he dodged it...... The touch Harry was all too familiar.

The cat and leopard nodded slightly, which was considered a response.

Then Harry turned his head to look at the three-headed dog and the fire dragon, which he always thought was a familiar combination.

"This ...... It can't be Hagrid's Luwei. Harry asked tentatively.

The Three-Headed Dog is not an ordinary magical animal, and so far, he has only seen it once in his first grade.

It was raised by Hagrid, and was later used by the Headmaster to guard the Philosopher's Stone...... However, in his impression, the three-headed dog at that time was much smaller than the one in front of him.

"That's right, it's Lowe." Kyle said, "Just in case, I happened to go to the Forbidden Forest some time ago and borrowed it. ”

Kyle pats Lowe on the chin again, then opens the box.

"Okay, go back, I'll prepare a big meal for you tomorrow."

Lu Wei immediately began to drool, and Noble, who was next to him, glanced at it with disgust, and was the first to burrow back into the box.

It's too cramped here, it's uncomfortable to stay in, or is it more spacious in the box.

Kingsley stared at Kyle's box without blinking, and when the two big guys were inside, he suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Mr. Newt Scamander?" ”

"He's my Fantastic Beasts teacher." Kyle said.

"Good relationship?" Kingsley asked.

"Well, it's not bad." Kyle nodded.

Kingsley smacked his lips, no wonder he always felt that this box was inexplicably familiar, and it seemed that there was one more person on the Auror's list of focus in the future.

It's not that he doesn't trust Kyle, even Dumbledore trusts each other unconditionally, and he is naturally no exception.

But the problem is that this kind of thing has nothing to do with trust...... Let's put it this way, even Dumbledore himself, the Aurors couldn't have let him run around with a fiery dragon.

Not to mention that Kyle had more than just dragons in that chest. Whether it's a cat, leopard or a three-headed dog, it's an extremely dangerous 5X-level magical animal, and any one that runs out of it can cause a huge panic.

He can now help conceal it, and he is already gambling on his future career.

"Oh, don't get me wrong." Kyle cleared his throat and said, "I borrowed these all, the three-headed dog is from the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, and the cat and leopard belong to Newt, and I will return it when the time comes." ”

"Oh......" Kingsley replied with a blank face.

"Alright, let's get out of here." Mr. Weasley said, glancing around, "What about the wounded people." ”

"It's here too." Kyle patted the box, "Don't worry, it's safe." ”

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and showed a very complicated expression.

The corners of Mr. Weasley's mouth twitched, believing Kyle's words.

In a way, it was really safe in that box...... If you can accept being a neighbor with a fire dragon three-headed dog.

"What about these Death Eaters." Kyle asked, "Why don't you put it in a box as well?" ”

"Well, there's no need, leave it to me." Kingsley said hurriedly.

As if fearing that the Death Eaters would eventually turn into snacks, he quickly conjured a long rope to tie up all the Death Eaters who had their wands confiscated.

Then he waved his wand again, and easily dragged the Death Eaters forward.

Kyle didn't say anything more.

The group reached the nearest door, and Sirius and Lupin walked in front with their wands in hand, carefully pushing open the door.

Thankfully, the Death Eaters who had escaped earlier didn't wait outside.

However, the crowd did not take it lightly, Sirius and Lupin were still at the forefront of the way, and Kyle let the cats and leopards join them.

After a few people walked for a while, Mr. Weasley couldn't help but ask, "Kyle, aren't you supposed to be still at Hogwarts?" How did it end up here. ”

"Oh, Fred and George noticed that Harry was skipping school on Thestrals, they told me, and I went to Professor Dumbledore...... He brought me here. ”

"We've been discovered?" Harry asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with that, most people just can't see the Thestrals, and not the people who ride on them?"

Kyle said, "And if you're willing to wait a little longer, Dumbledore will tell you that Sirius is safe." ”

Harry looked down in shame.

Sirius, who was at the front, seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Lupin, who shook his head and motioned for Sirius not to say anything.

Harry was too impulsive this time.

Rushing into the Ministry of Magic without any preparation, leaving everyone passive and having to jump into the trap of the Death Eaters.

Luckily Kyle arrived just in time, and everyone was safe.

But what if Kyle doesn't come...... There were more than twenty Death Eaters, which they could not deal with, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

Lupin was terrified when he thought about it now.

So this must not happen a second time.

"I'm sorry." Harry lowered his head and said sincerely, "I will never do this next time." ”

"You'd better remember today's words." Lupin didn't reply.

"Alright, Remus." Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Mr. Weasley came out at the right time and said, "Sirius is Harry's only relative after all, and it is also the family affection he has longed for for more than ten years...... This is a trap carefully prepared for him by the cunning mystery man.

"The tricks of the mysterious people are so unguarded that sometimes even we are fooled, let alone the inexperienced Harry."

Lupin sighed.

The truth is this, but there are some things that must be said.

"Oh, yes." Mr. Weasley changed the subject, "Kyle, you just said Dumbledore brought you here?" ”

"Well, Phoenix took us from Hogwarts directly to the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said.

"Merlin, what the hell did Dumbledore think about bringing students to such a dangerous place......" At this point, Mr. Weasley paused, and subconsciously glanced at the box in Kyle's hand.

Well, strictly speaking, Kyle should be much more dangerous than the Death Eaters right now.

He didn't dwell on the question anymore, and instead asked, "What about Dumbledore, why didn't he come with you just now?" ”

"Yes......" At this time, Sirius, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but complain: "If he had been there just now, Bellatrix would definitely not have been able to escape, that crazy woman is too dangerous." ”

Mr. Weasley nodded.

If Dumbledore had been there, he would have been able to reveal Malfoy's true identity himself...... He had seen it all just now, the platinum-blonde hair that the mask and hood couldn't hide, and it was obvious that the other party was Malfoy.

"That's it." Kyle said calmly, "Professor Dumbledore should still be outside the Department of Mysteries at this time, fighting Voldemort." ”

All of them stopped.

"What did you say?" Sirius almost screamed, "The mystery man is also in the Ministry of Magic?" ”

"yes, I happened to run into him when I came." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore and Voldemort, we and the Death Eaters, fair, aren't we?" ”

Harry felt even more guilty, but no one cared about him, and no one spoke, and after a few moments continued on his way.

Only this time, everyone's faces were a lot more serious.

The return trip was smooth, they didn't encounter the Death Eaters who stood in their way, it seemed that they had already run away and did not choose to stay in the Department of Mysteries.

Lupin remembered it well, and soon led the group back to the outermost black rotunda, where the corridor leading to the elevator was the only way out of the room.

But Lupin and Sirius stopped in unison.

If it's really like Kyle said, Dumbledore and Voldemort are on the battlefield outside this room, is it really okay for them to go out now? Will it distract Dumbledore......

But before they could think any further, a door on the right suddenly opened, revealing the hallway leading to the elevator.

Everyone was startled, but soon they realized that the hallway was empty, neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort was gone.

Sirius, Lupin, and Kingsley cautiously walked out, gasping for air.

The corridor looked as if it had been bombarded with a blasting spell countless times, the walls on either side were about to be shattered, the floor was covered with fallen stones, and there was a large hole in the ceiling.

Now, they completely believed Kyle's words.

Luckily, the elevator wasn't damaged, and Mr. Weasley stepped forward to give it a try.

"It still works." He looked back and was the first to walk in.

Then, Harry and Kyle, Sirius, and Lupin also walked into the elevator.

Kingsley decided to stay here, the captured Death Eaters needed to be guarded, or it was safer here.

The adults unanimously decided to send Kyle and Harry out of the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, and Sirius slammed the button in the main hall, "Hurry up, damn it, can this thing be faster!" ”

The elevator creaked up, stopping in the main hall at Sirius' urging.

But when they came out, the first thing they saw was Dumbledore and Voldemort facing each other.

"Oh no!" Sirius said in annoyance, "Why are they here, I should have let them stay with Kingsley in the Department of Mysteries." ”

Kyle peeked behind Lupin.

At this point, the battle seems to have entered the intermission.

Dumbledore and Voldemort each stood aside, and the original golden main hall was also destroyed, and even the statue on the magic fountain in the center was destroyed.

Not far from them lay half of the statue of the centaurs, and a little further away was a pointy ear and the wizard's head.

The Death Eaters, who had escaped earlier, were kneeling in front of Voldemort at this time.

"Bella, you've messed things up again, haven't you?" Voldemort stared at Dumbledore with those cold red eyes, "A few months of preparation...... My Death Eaters have let me down again......"

"Master, I'm sorry, I don't know......" Bellatrix cried and slowly crawled to Voldemort's feet, "Please, don't punish me......"

"Say no more, Bella." Voldemort's eyes still didn't take his eyes off Dumbledore, "This is the third time you've let me down, and you know what?" Someone came back a little earlier than you.

"He was cowardly, but he had some interesting news for me...... You seem to be deliberately attacking Harry Potter with the Prophecy Orb.

"And that guy named Kyle is very close to you...... Even the three brutes deliberately didn't attack you much. ”

"No, it's not like that!" Bellatrix roared, his face full of horror, "Master, you know, I am your most loyal servant, and I was, and still is. ”

"I used to believe in that, but now, what you're doing makes me have to doubt ......"

Voldemort's voice was terrifying, and Bellatrix was so frightened that she fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

"No, master, I don't have ......"

As they spoke, Dumbledore watched quietly and did not interrupt them.

Almost everyone in the wizarding world knows that Bellatrix is the craziest Death Eater, and it's funny that she's now suspected by Voldemort.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Dumbledore always felt that the scene in front of him was a bit familiar...... It wasn't until he heard Kyle's name that it dawned on him.

Kyle, that's fine.

But he couldn't understand that this kind of discord was too obvious, even if Voldemort was suspicious by nature, he shouldn't have believed it so quickly.

Or are they acting for themselves?
