"I really shouldn't have agreed to Fudge to come to Hogwarts to be some Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in the first place!"

The next morning, when everyone in the hospital woke up, Tonks was lying on the hospital bed, looking at his tightly bandaged body, and his bowels were blue.

"I knew there was going to be a ...... like this," she said with no affection, "just look at Alasto, he's been out of office for a year, and he's not completely out of the curse." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Moody, who was next to her, said in a deep voice, "As an Auror, getting hurt is inevitable, and what does it have to do with the curse of Defence Against the Dark Arts. ”

"Then why is Kingsley all right......" Tonks said with a pout.

"Because he's strong enough." "Whether it's Kingsley or Remus or Sirius, they're at their prime, and they have the energy and reflexes to deal with the Death Eaters," Moody said. ”

"And so do you." Moody's tone suddenly became much more serious, "You're too lazy to play to your strengths, and as a natural disguised Magus, it's the stupidest thing to do to go head-to-head with your enemies...... Why don't you turn yourself into a Death Eater?

"Also, what about your vigilance, I remember when you first joined the Aurors, I reminded you countless times that you must always be ready to release the Iron Armor Charm when you are fighting......"

The ward seemed to turn into a classroom, and Moody unceremoniously pointed out all the mistakes Tonks had made before, giving Tonks a flush of cheeks.

"The Death Eaters all wore black hoods and masks...... "she quibbled," she quibbled, "and our clothes are different, even if we look different." ”

"Ah, is it?" Moody said coldly, "It looks like I'm going to go and find Minerva, she didn't teach you how to deform your clothes in class." ”

"I testify that this is what I learned in third grade." Kyle, who came to see them, said with a smile.

To add to his persuasiveness, he also took out his wand and tapped it lightly on his clothes. The original school uniform robe was immediately transformed into a pure black cloak of the same style as the Death Eaters.

"Tsk." Moody said in a calm tone, "Looks like I'm wrong for Minerva......"

At this time, Tonks had already turned his head and began to pretend to be asleep, deaf to the words of the two.

She wanted to thank Kyle for saving her life just now, but now it's settled.

For a moment, everyone in the ward burst into laughter.

Lupin, who had just come in, listened to the laughter in the ward and asked curiously, "Did I miss something?" ”

"That's right." Ron hurriedly spoke, "Professor Tonks just now......"

"It's an assistant, that's important." Tonks didn't care about pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and said loudly: "Also, if you dare to tell me what you just said, I will assign you ten times the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, which I can still do." ”

Ron immediately shut up.

"And the guys......" she glanced at Kyle and Hermione with a menacing look again.

Kyle spread his hands indifferently, wisely not provoking her again.

However, Lupin didn't seem to particularly want to know the answer, he put the candy he bought from Hogsmeade on the table, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are recovering well, I was still discussing with Sirius whether to send you to St. Mungo." ”

"Don't." Tonks shook his head, "I hate the smell of St. Mungo, it's good here, at least it doesn't smell like it's mixed with all kinds of potions." ”

"Okay then." "If Madam Pomfrey is okay, it's fine." ”

"I don't want to go to St. Mungo." Ron said.

"I told Sirius about this, but it doesn't count." Lupin shook his head, "Where you're going, it's up to Arthur and Molly to decide, oh, they're on their way, they should be there soon." ”

"Oh, I'm going to be scolded!" Ron screamed and covered his head with the covers.

"Hermione......" Lupin continued, "did you really decide not to tell your parents? ”

"Don't." Hermione hurriedly said: "They are all Muggles, they don't know anything about the wizarding world, and even if they do, it's just to add to their troubles, and I'm almost well, so there's really no need to tell them." ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Lupin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Hermione was indeed the least injured of all, and she would have been discharged from the hospital today, but Madam Pomfrey insisted that she stay a few more days.

"I still want to thank you for saving us, Kyle." At this time, Moody suddenly said: "If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid none of us would have been able to escape." ”

"It's nothing." Kyle shook his head.

"You really shouldn't be an assistant minister." Moody's said with some regret, "The Auror office is your best choice, and you'll shine there." ”

Seriously, Kyle doesn't want to be either an assistant minister or an Auror, but isn't there no way around it?

So without waiting for Moody to continue, Kyle took the initiative to change the subject, looked at Lupin and asked, "What about Harry?" Didn't come back with you? ”

"Nope." Lupin filled Tonks' empty cup with water, "He said he had something to ask the Headmaster, he had left before you came, and didn't go to Hogsmeade with me. ”

"That's right."

Kyle wasn't surprised that Harry went to find Dumbledore, but was a little surprised that Madam Pomfrey had let him go, but it could have been Dumbledore's intention.

Harry had been drilled into his head by Voldemort, so it was an enhanced version of the Imperius Curse, and Madam Pomfrey would not have let him go anyway if it hadn't been for the Headmaster's mouth.

Soon, Mrs. Weasley's voice could be heard outside.

"You're his brother, why would you let him go to such a dangerous place?"

Then came the voices of Fred and George.

"Mom, how can we see it, he is running on a Thestrals......"

"yes, we can't just fly out and get him back......"

"Or break his leg early!"

……

Kyle glanced back at Ron, who was already shivering, curled up in bed feebly.

"You'd better just admit your mistake." Kyle kindly reminded: "Don't say how much you helped, and don't make any excuses, just apologize, and say less if you can say less." ”

"Huh? Why. Ron was stunned for a moment, he was thinking about whether to exaggerate his role a little more.

After all, they also stopped Voldemort's plot this time, isn't this what the Order of the Phoenix is doing?

"Because you can think of anything that Mr. Weasley should have said a long time ago, and it won't be useful for you to say it again."

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

Mrs. Weasley hurried in, looking as if she had just cried, and rushed to Ron's side as soon as she entered, holding him in her arms.

"Good thing you're okay." Mrs. Weasley checked Ron's condition until she was sure that Ron was in good shape, and then she suddenly straightened up and said:

"How dare you deal with the Death Eaters...... Yesterday the magic clock showed that you and your dad were in danger, and I almost fainted. ”

Ron was about to say that he wasn't alone, but when he thought of Kyle's words, he hurriedly swallowed it back and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I won't be next time." ”

Mrs. Weasley was about to cry again. He hugged Ron again.

Mr. Weasley behind him blinked in surprise, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, and you......" After letting go of Ron, Mrs. Weasley turned around and gave Kyle a hug.

"You saved both of them, thank you."

"It's ......nothing," Kyle shook his head, "and Mrs. Weasley, I've heard this thank you countless times since yesterday, why can't you say it all at once." ”

"It's because we didn't see you at the same time." Mrs. Weasley said, hugging Kyle again, then looking around.

"What about Harry, didn't Arthur say he was hurt too?"

"Harry should be in the Headmaster's office." Lupin said, "He seems to have a question for Dumbledore." ”

……

At the same time, in the principal's office.

Harry looked away from the blue figure above the meditation basin.

There was silence throughout the headmaster's room, including the portraits on the walls, and no one said a word.

Professor Dumbledore...... I don't know how long it took before Harry whispered, "Is this the full prophecy?" ”

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded.

"I don't understand...... What does that mean? Harry thought again to what the blue figure had said.

"The man who has the ability to defeat the Dark Lord has approached...... At the end of July, he was born in a family that had resisted him three times...... The Dark Lord will label him as his rival......"

"It means," said Dumbledore, "that the only person who could hope of defeating Voldemort was born at the end of July nearly sixteen years ago......"

Harry felt something squeeze against him, and his breathing became difficult.

"That man is...... I? ”

A ridiculous idea popped up at him, but he quickly shook his head again...... How could it be, how could he be Voldemort's fierce rival.

Dumbledore took a deep breath.

"If you only read the first sentence, it might not be you." Dumbledore whispered, "There were two boys born at the end of July that year, one was you and the other was Neville Longbottom, and it was even more coincidental that both of you had parents in the Order of the Phoenix, and both of you had escaped death from Voldemort three times. ”

"But, since Neville also fits, why is my name written on the prophecy ball?" Harry frowned.

"That's the most crucial part of prophecy." Dumbledore said slowly, "Remember the second part of the prophecy...... Voldemort himself would label him a fierce enemy. In other words, it was he who chose you, not Neville. ”

"But Professor, is there something wrong?" Harry still couldn't understand, "I'm no match for Voldemort at all, he can even ...... easily Manipulate me. ”

"Maybe it's not that easy." Dumbledore waved his wand, and the figure on the meditation basin turned into a silver light again.

"You have a power that Voldemort doesn't have, and it's because of that power that prompted you to go to the Department of Mysteries last night to save Sirius.

"I've thought about it, even if I don't make a move, you can get rid of Voldemort's control with your own heart."

Can he get out of Voldemort's grip on his own? Seriously, Harry didn't quite believe he could do it himself.

But speaking of which, he quickly remembered something else.

"Wait, Professor." Harry said, "I think Kyle was born at the end of July, so could he be the one he said he was in the prophecy...... After all, the prophecy only spoke of the month of birth. ”

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I've had that idea before, but I'm afraid it's not. ”

"Why?"

"Or because of the second prophecy." Dumbledore looked at Harry, the scar on his forehead to be exact.

"Voldemort will mark his enemies with his own hands, which is the most central part of the prophecy, and when he left you with this scar, he actually chose an opponent for himself."

"And more importantly, Neville and Kyle are both pure-blood wizards, and only you are half-blood like Voldemort...... Oh yes, because your mother, Lily Evans, came from a Muggle family, so you're not technically a true pureblood. ”

"I know that." Harry said that he didn't want to be a pure-blood wizard because of some people in Slytherin.

"But what does this have to do with whether I'm half-blooded or not?"

"Because Voldemort is also a half-blood." Dumbledore said, "Although he always believed that only pure-bloods were true wizards, his father was indeed a Muggle, and I believe you know that."

"Maybe it's because of the same identity that he sees himself in you."

"Me and Voldemort, the same?" Harry only felt colder, even stiffer.

"It's just that he thinks so." Dumbledore said, "We all know that you and Voldemort are nothing but the same. ”

No way, it's absolutely impossible!

Harry didn't listen to what Dumbledore had to say, but frantically denied it in his mind and tried to find more favorable evidence.

"By the way, the prophecy ......" he suddenly thought of something, and said loudly: "When the prophecy ball was broken before, we heard a sentence, but the content is completely different from what we heard just now, you must be mistaken. ”

"Oh?" For the first time, Dumbledore looked surprised.

"What do you hear?"

Harry pondered, "It seems that at the moment when the winner is decided, a new person will appear......

"It was so chaotic that there were screams everywhere and I didn't hear the rest of it, but you can ask Kyle and Mr. Weasley, they're also nearby."

Dumbledore didn't speak, just stared at the meditation basin, seemingly completely lost in thought.

"Professor." Harry asked cautiously, "You must be mistaken, right, there is no such thing in what we just heard." ”

"Harry, it's weird, there's actually a saying." Dumbledore waved the golem again, and the figure that had disappeared before reappeared on the meditation basin.

"The man who has the ability to defeat the Dark Lord has approached ......"

It was still the same thing, and Harry was about to say something when he saw Dumbledore shake his head.

"Wait, keep listening, be quiet."

Harry could only keep his mouth shut and wait.

After a few moments, he saw the figure open its mouth again, but only a bee-like buzzing sound.

"What did she say?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Dumbledore said. "Because that's what I've heard, this part of the prophecy is hidden."

"Prophecy can be hidden."

"Absolutely." Dumbledore came to the window and muttered, "I wondered at the time, but then I figured it out.

"This prophecy is like a black lake, I saw it in winter, so I can only see part of it, and as for what is in the lake, I can only know when the ice melts in the spring."

"Is it time?" Harry asked, uncertain.

"That's right." Dumbledore said, "This prophecy will not be complete until the time comes."

"Don't you really remember what was said in the end?"

Harry struggled to remember for a moment, "I'm sorry Professor...... It was really confusing. ”

"It's okay." Dumbledore shook his head, "Perhaps we are not destined to hear the full prophecy. ”

There was silence in the headmaster's room again.

But unlike the others, Harry noticed that the people in the portrait were no longer pretending to be asleep, but were huddled together and whispering, as if they were equally interested in the so-called prophecy.

After a long time, Harry heard a noise coming from somewhere outside the Headmaster's room, presumably someone was about to go to the Great Hall for lunch.

Realizing this, Harry suddenly felt a little hungry.

Because he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't eat in the morning, and now he only feels dizzy and dizzy, and his legs are a little weak.

"Oh, has it been so long?" Dumbledore turned around and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, you can go to the Great Hall to eat, there are pork cutlets and custard tarts at noon today, I personally like it." But don't eat too much, and don't forget that you'll be competing in the afternoon. ”

"Race?"

"Quidditch matches." Dumbledore said, "Have you forgotten? It's the final between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff this afternoon, and it's up to you to win the Quidditch Cup. ”

"Oh!" Harry exclaimed.

He remembered that the competition was supposed to take place in early June, but then for unknown reasons, it was changed to after the exams.

"Goodbye Professor." Harry was about to run outside, but just as he was about to leave the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back and asked, "Professor, can Ron be discharged early?" He's the goalkeeper for our Gryffindor. ”

"You have to ask Madam Pomfrey about this." Dumbledore said, "But I think there's a good chance she'll not agree, so you'd better choose a new goalkeeper."

Moreover, Weasley had been tortured by the Mind Curse, and even if he was discharged from the hospital, he probably wouldn't be able to recover to his best state in a short period of time. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry had already rushed out of the headmaster's office.

At this time, he didn't care about any predictions, and only hoped that a new goalkeeper would be selected in the two hours before the game started.
