Chapter 686: After the Battle

I have to say that it was really interesting to watch the nest between Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but unfortunately this scene did not last long.

Voldemort also spotted the crowd coming out of the elevator, and his gaze passed through Dumbledore to Kyle and Harry.

"It's you two again...... "it's you all the time, annoying me three times and twice, too many times, too long." Avada suo! ”

Voldemort, the Curse was as thick as a viper swimming in mid-air. Kyle even suspects that even if Norwegian spiny dragon Noble is hit, he may die directly.

But he didn't panic, and he didn't even hide.

In the next second, a big hand shining red suddenly stretched out from the wall next to him, blocking the two of them.

The Requisition Curse bounced off the big hand.

"Tom, don't forget that I'm your opponent." Dumbledore said lightly.

"Of course I won't forget." Voldemort also seemed to anticipate that his spell would not work, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, this time, the Requisition Spell also ignited the battle again.

The water in the magic fountain instantly condensed into a sharp sword and flew towards Dumbledore, which slammed into the half-remaining statue and instantly pierced it through a hole.

But Dumbledore simply raised his wand, and there seemed to be an invisible shield in front of him, blocking all attacks.

He then directed the surrounding droplets back to Voldemort in the same way, and seemed to be even more powerful than before.

Voldemort had to conjure up a shiny silver shield out of thin air to fend off, and the silver shield surrounded him, and the water beads hit it with a low, gong-like trill.

Kyle's eyes lit up, he wanted to learn this......

Although Dumbledore's magic was not bad, he still preferred this kind of materialized silver shield.

"Professor Lupin, do you know what magic this is?" Kyle asked quietly.

"Huh?" Lupin obviously didn't expect Kyle to be in the mood to care about any spell in this situation...... Still, he subconsciously glanced in Voldemort's direction.

"Sorry, I don't know." Lupin shook his head, "It looks like an Iron Armor Spell, but it's more advanced than the ordinary Iron Armor Spell, and it should be an ancient magic script." ”

"Okay." Kyle said, and he couldn't help but pull out his wand, first with the Iron Armor Charm, and then with a slight flick of his wrist.

Golden glyphs floated out of the tip of the staff, and then they formed a larger symbol.

Kyle moves his wand slowly, trying to incorporate the symbols into the Iron Charm.

But at this moment, a red light suddenly flew from the right.

The iron armor spell fused with the symbols flew the red light bullet out, but it itself was directly shattered due to external forces.

"Who?"

Sirius immediately pulled out his wand and stood in front of Harry, and Lupin protected Kyle behind him.

But the only Death Eaters left were still on Voldemort's side, and it was clearly not their doing.

Kyle also raised his head, only to find that the battle in the main hall had entered the white heat, all kinds of magic spells were shuttling back and forth like a shower, and the one who had broken his iron armor spell just now was a large-scale magic of Voldemort.

Kyle glanced at the wall next to him that had been hit by the red light, and a large crater had been blown out of it.

Lupin also noticed this, and he was a little annoyed that he had been distracted, but at the same time he was a little surprised by Kyle's talent.

There are not many people who can block Voldemort's spell with the Iron Armor Charm, and more importantly, Kyle is only sixteen years old this year......

On the other side of the battlefield, Voldemort's breathing had begun to become rapid, and Dumbledore, who was older, still looked at ease.

If this continues, victory will only be a matter of time.

Voldemort spat out a breath of flame, transforming into a massive serpent that rushed towards Dumbledore, as if trying to swallow it in his stomach.

Dumbledore reached out and gripped the serpent's teeth with precision, and the serpent turned into a long rope of flames, trapping Voldemort firmly.

A puff of black smoke rose from Voldemort's body, and he couldn't help but let out a roar.

"Master!" Bellatrix screamed, wanting to come forward and help.

But at this time, Voldemort violently broke free from the rope, turned into seven black mist, and flew in all directions.

Although Dumbledore used his spell to shatter most of the black mist in time, there was still a cloud of fish that slipped through the net and came straight for the people in the elevator.

"Be careful, get out of there!" For the first time, fear appeared in Dumbledore's voice.

But it was too late.

The Black Mist easily bypassed Lupin and Sirius, and then passed through Kyle's Iron Charm, enveloping him.

Kyle felt nothing but a buzzing in his head, as if something was screaming in his ears and trying to burrow into his brain.

But in the next second, the roar suddenly disappeared, and the black mist also left Kyle's body and rushed towards Harry next to him.

Then, Harry suddenly fell to the ground clutching the scar on his forehead, letting out a piercing scream.

Harry's eyes turned red.

"Didn't you want to kill me? Dumbledore? ”

Harry opened his mouth, made Voldemort's voice, and looked at everyone laughing.

"Whoever it is, come on, kill this boy!"

Dumbledore's face sank, and Sirius' wand-holding hand trembled at Harry, as if he had suddenly forgotten how to use magic, and he couldn't use any spells.

"You come out for me!" Sirius roared.

Voldemort turned a deaf ear and still laughed wildly, but then he suddenly saw a pair of eyes...... A pair of deep purple, amethyst-like eyes.

For a moment, the red in Harry's eyes seemed to fade somewhat.

Dumbledore seized the opportunity and waved his wand vigorously.

It was as if an invisible fist had smashed into Harry's body, smashing the black mist out of his body.

"Damn brute!" Voldemort's roar echoed through the foyer, just in time to be heard by a few people coming out of the fireplace.

The fireplace on one wall suddenly lit up, and a flood of witches and wizards poured out.

At the same time, Voldemort, turned into a black mist, flew to the few remaining Death Eaters, wrapped around them, smashed windows, and escaped from the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"He was right here." A red-robed wizard shouted, "I saw him, absolutely." ”

"I know, Williamson, we all heard him." Fudge stepped out from behind, rubbing his forehead incessantly.

"Sorry Dumbledore, we're late." He stepped forward and said, "Are you all alright......?"

"You've come just in time, Connelly." Dumbledore checked Harry for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and said, "You guys came just in time, he's scared." ”

"Good job, but you can't show your face right now, come in." While everyone's attention was on the fleeing Voldemort, Kyle hid in the elevator and touched the cat-leopard, then opened his box.

The cat-leopard immediately jumped in.

Kyle walked out again.

"Lawlessness, how dare you come to the Ministry of Magic to spread wildness, it's just lawless......" Fudge wiped his forehead again as he looked at the messy main hall and the shattered magic fountain.

"Is there anything we can do for you? Albus. He said, "No matter what the requirements are." ”

"I think you can go to the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore said, "There are a lot of Death Eaters out there who don't have time to escape, and Kingsley is watching." ”

"Oh yes......" Dumbledore continued, "they seem to have been stimulated by the Department of Mysteries, and they are always talking gibberish. ”

"This couldn't be more normal...... Fudge finally calmed down when he heard that there was something to do, and said with a smile, "No one has ever known what secrets are in the Department of Mysteries."

"I knew of a stupid thief who broke into the Department of Mysteries, and the next day he went crazy.

"Oh, I almost forgot, now isn't the time to talk about that, Delix, Williamson, you guys go downstairs and have a look at the Department of Mysteries. Albus, you ......"

"I want to go back to school first." Dumbledore pointed to the unconscious Harry on the ground, "When Harry wakes up, we'll talk about what happened." ”

"It should." Fudge seems to have just noticed a person lying on the ground, and that person is also the Savior Harry Potter......

"Why is he here? Oh, Merlin, do you need my help contacting St. Mungo? ”

"Thank you, Connelly." Dumbledore shook his head, "Harry just fainted, he doesn't need to go to St. Mungo, Madam Pomfrey can cure him completely, but I need your permission for me to use a portkey." ”

"No problem at all." Fudge breathed a sigh of relief.

Dumbledore picked up a golden stone, and looked like it was supposed to be a centaur leg.

He took out his wand and whispered, "Mentos." ”

The long stone shone with a blue light, trembling in his hands, and then calmed down after a few seconds.

"Alright." He shoved the stone into Harry's hand and said, "Anyone who wants to go to Hogwarts, put their hands on it." ”

Kyle was the first to reach out, followed by Sirius, Lupin, and Mr. Weasley.

"Ready." Dumbledore whispered, "One ...... Two...... Three! ”

The mess of the main hall of the Ministry of Magic vanished, and so did Fudge, flying forward in a vortex of colors and sounds.

……

After everyone returned to Hogwarts, Sirius immediately ran to the school hospital with Harry in his arms.

The others followed.

The school hospital soon became busy, with Harry lying on the bed closest to the door, next to Ron, Hermione, Tonks, and Moody.

"What the hell is going on...... Madam Pomfrey was frightened, rummaging through the shelves for potions, "Oh my God, they actually have traces of being tortured by the Heart-Piercing Curse, this can't be the Imperius Curse......"

As she spoke, she glanced back at Dumbledore, seemingly casually.

Mr. Weasley sat next to Ron and asked anxiously, "How is he?" ”

"Fortunately, it won't be long, so it shouldn't be fine." Madam Pomfrey approached with a bottle of potion, "But I suggest you take him to St. Mungo's for another check-out, and honestly, I'm not really good at dealing with the Mind Dash Charm...... This is a tranquilizer, and drinking it will make him feel better. ”

"Thank you." Mr. Weasley took the bottle and used his wand to put the potion inside into Ron's mouth.

Soon, Ron's frowning brow relaxed a lot, and he began to snore.

Lupin fed Moody some medicine in the same way.

After everyone had finished their treatment, Dumbledore looked at Madam Pomfrey, "Thank you Bobby, but can we talk alone for a while?" ”

Madam Pomfrey didn't look very happy, but Dumbledore was the Headmaster after all, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "It's better to hurry, the patient needs to rest...... And so are you. ”

"We will." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"What the hell happened to Harry?" As soon as Madam Pomfrey left, Sirius couldn't wait to ask, "He's okay, is he?" ”

"Sirius, of course." Dumbledore said, "He's just a little stimulated, and he should be able to wake up soon." ”

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Harry, who was lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes, and he looked around and found that he was no longer in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"Where is this......" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hogwarts' school hospital." Sirius said.

No wonder it's so familiar...... Harry felt a tingling sensation on his forehead, and when he turned his head, he saw Ron and Hermione next door, as well as the two Aurors further away.

"How are they?" He couldn't care about the burning pain in the scar anymore, and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, everyone is fine." Sirius said reassuringly.

"That's good." Harry covered his scar again, "What just happened?" ”

"That's what I want to ask." Sirius said.

"I guess that's another form of the Imperius Curse, more evil than the original Unforgivable Curse." Dumbledore whispered: If you give Voldemort enough time, he can fight with your body. ”

Harry remembered that he was like he was being entangled in a red-eyed monster, unable to move, but the monster was able to control his body.

"Thanks to you, you helped buy time...... Dumbledore said, turning to look at Kyle.

"It's a cat-leopard, and it has nothing to do with me." Kyle said.

"I just wanted to ask." Dumbledore's tone rose slightly, "When did you have another cat and leopard in your box, I don't seem to remember such a creature in the Forbidden Forest." ”

"I borrowed it from Newt." Kyle said truthfully, "To help Harry learn Occlumency." ”

"Yes." Harry said, shuddering, it wasn't a pleasant memory.

"I see." Dumbledore nodded.

"Wait......" Sirius looked at them, a little dazed in his eyes, "what does this have to do with cats and leopards." ”

"Don't you ever read?" Lupin gave him a disgusted look.

Harry felt a little familiar, oh yes, Hermione had looked at him and Ron with the same look when she was reviewing their homework before the end of the school year.

"Do you think I've had a chance to read before?" Sirius stalked his neck and said confidently.

Lupin sighed helplessly and explained, "The cat and leopard are very special magical creatures that can run faster than most broomsticks.

"And their eyes, blue eyes that can see through the heart, are born Dementors, and I think that's why you let them teach Harry Occlumency."

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "That's how I learned this magic, and although the process was hard, it worked. ”

Harry shuddered again.

Kyle was so humble, it wasn't "hard", and honestly, he still had nightmares, and when he closed his eyes, a six-legged monster chased after him.

"I'm afraid that only you, who are close to Mr. Scamander, can learn Occlumency in such a luxurious way."

Lupin sighed enviously: "Cats and leopards are extremely rare creatures, if they were replaced by other people, I am afraid it would be difficult to see them for the rest of their lives." ”

Kyle shook his head and didn't speak.

Sirius was even more puzzled.

"But what does this have to do with what just happened? Could it be that the mysterious man is afraid of being seen by the cat and leopard in his heart? ”

"Don't worry." Lupin continued, "In addition to the Celestial Mind, the cat-leopard has another ability to hypnotize its prey when its eyes turn purple. ”

"That's it." Dumbledore said, "The cat-leopard's hypnotic abilities have temporarily made Tom lose control of Harry's consciousness, and I am afraid he could not have imagined that he would suffer such a big loss on a magical animal." ”

Dumbledore wanted to laugh a little, but felt out of place.

"But Kyle is all right." Harry said in a tangled voice, "I'm sorry Kyle, I didn't mean anything else, but I did see the black mist spin around you first. ”

"Because of Occlumency." Dumbledore's tone became much more serious, "Voldemort was in an extremely weak state at the time, and he couldn't get into Kyle's brain at all...... But I guess even if he's in good shape, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. ”

"But I'm also going to have Occlumency." Harry said subconsciously.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the school hospital changed, even Hermione, who had just woken up, covered her face and shook her head.

"I have a question, Harry." Dumbledore asked calmly, "Have you actively studied Occlumency since Christmas?" ”

"No, no." Harry blushed and stumbled.

Not to mention active learning, he even returned all the books on Occlumency back to the library.

"That's the answer." Dumbledore looked at him, "As far as I know, Kyle's study of Occlumency lasted for three full years, and it was never interrupted. ”

Harry's face turned even redder, and he couldn't speak with his head down.

It's no wonder that Voldemort would return to nothing with Kyle, but he didn't even have the ability to resist.

"I'd suggest you do the same, Harry." Dumbledore said.

"I will." Harry nodded.

Dumbledore was right, he needed to learn more about Occlumency, so that what happened today would not happen again.

If anyone is hurt by this today, I am afraid that he will never be able to forgive himself.

"Alright, that's all for today." Dumbledore stood up and said.

"But Professor, I still have a lot of questions that I don't understand......"

Harry wanted to ask something, but Dumbledore shook his head, "Don't worry, you can ask tomorrow as well, if we disturb your rest again, I'm afraid Madam Pomfrey will come to chase people." ”

"But you're the Headmaster......" Harry said.

"No, the headmaster's words don't work that well here." Dumbledore said with a smile and turned to leave the school hospital.

"Rest well."

Sirius and Mr. Weasley, though they preferred to stay here, hesitated for a moment before following suit.
