In Charms class, Professor Flitwick spent ten minutes repeating a few key points of the spells, after which everyone began to practice.

Soon the classroom resounded with the sound of chanting incantations, mixed with noisy discussions, and it was very lively.

Most people just waved their wands a few times while chatting, and Professor Flitwick didn't bother with it, just going over to correct it when someone made a mistake.

But halfway through the lesson, a milky white head suddenly came out of the wall from the outside.

"Sorry, Filius, for interrupting your lesson." Hufflepuff's Ghost Fat Friar said, "But the Headmaster has something to do with Kyle, can you let him go to the Headmaster's office now?" ”

The classroom fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Kyle curiously.

"Ravenclaw mentioned it when he first took me there." Kyle explained, "I asked her how long the memory would last, and she didn't say, just told me to stay in it and give me out when the memory faded." ”

"As far as I know, he also cried in the school bathroom because of guilt and insecurity, and he had no choice."

Amelia Bones of the Law Enforcement Division was also attacked, and although she managed to defeat the sneak attacker, she also paid a heavy price, lying in St. Mungo for two months before being reluctantly discharged.

"It also depends on the situation, this time it should be Antonin Dolokhov who led the team, even he fled in a hurry, what reason does Voldemort have to embarrass Malfoy, who is not yet an adult.

Professor Flitwick, who was correcting Ryan's gesture, immediately said, "Go ahead, these simple spells won't bother you, will they?" ”

"Really?"

Dumbledore fell silent again, and only after about a minute did he speak:

"I don't want to lie to you, yes, Mr. Malfoy was rescued, and he is now out of school.

If the minister escapes, the impact will be huge, so it is right to be cautious.

To be honest, Fudge's biggest role was to make the wizards of the wizarding world accept the news in the early days of Voldemort's comeback, and Fudge, who can speak well, has always been handy in this kind of thing.

"Nope." Kyle shook his head.

But he seems to have suddenly changed his mind and doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Let's start with the Room of Requirement...... That's right, as you might think, I blocked the exit and put a plate in it that connected to the kitchen. ”

Kyle nodded, and was hesitating where to start when Dumbledore spoke first.

"No, no, no." Dumbledore shook his head, "As much as I would love to embark on a new adventure, Malfoy can't kill me, and even if he uses the Requisition Charm, it will make me lose a few beards or hairs at most." ”

Fudge was probably scared, so many Ministry of Magic staff had been killed, and he had been attacked many times, he must have wanted to find someone more reliable than the Aurors to protect him.

"He's not going to hold us back." Kyle was a little worried.

In addition to the malice in the heart, the life-requiring spell is also directly related to magic.

With that, there was an extra cup of hot black tea on the table, to which Dumbledore added a whole plate of sugar cubes as usual.

"Here's how it was done." Kyle said, "It's the first time I've ever known that a Room of Request can be closed on its own initiative. ”

"Understandable." Dumbledore said calmly, "Until then, Fudge seems to have always believed that Voldemort would not dare to attack the staff of the Ministry of Magic. ”

Wishful thinking?

Kyle frowned, not understanding what Dumbledore was saying.

It's no wonder that the entire Room of Requirement relies on the magic of Hogwarts Castle...... If the whole of Hogwarts were a painting, Dumbledore's approach would be equivalent to using a knife to snap the door.

As he said this, Kyle stared at Dumbledore without blinking.

In addition to making it easier to command operations, the decision to suspend the change of ministers in wartime also serves the purpose of preventing a minister from deserting from the battlefield...... Although this situation has basically never happened in history, what if.

"Fudge agreed?"

"I've only been there once." Dumbledore said, "You were listening intently, so I did all of this. ”

The door to the headmaster's office was open, and he didn't need to say a password, and walked straight inside.

"In the wee hours of this morning, was Malfoy rescued?" Kyle said directly.

"Hah, how is that possible." Kyle pursed his lips and laughed at Fudge's naïve thoughts.

"Here you are, sit down." Dumbledore gestured to a chair in front of him.

"Monk, is there anything the Headmaster is looking for me?" He asked, looking at the ghost next to him.

"He'll just settle the account on me."

"Where did you hear that?"

Kyle glanced up as well, and it was already 10:50.

He did read it, and knew that the Death Eaters had recently begun to frequently target the Ministry of Magic, as if to establish authority and spread fear, and so far, more than a dozen Ministry of Magic staff had been killed by them, including two deputy directors.

"Wait, Professor." He interrupted Dumbledore and asked with a strange expression, "Do you think I don't want to let him go?" ”

But no matter how much he thought about it, he could never say it, especially from the mouth of him, the Minister of Magic.

"Cornelius did mean that, and he invited me to be the Ministry's special advisor to the Death Eaters." Dumbledore said, "But when he spoke to me, he always said, consciously or unconsciously, that he was the hope of the wizarding world, and that the way to defeat Voldemort was to see who could get more support." ”

"But it's more dangerous to go back to Voldemort, isn't it?"

"I hope so." Kyle said.

"Of course, Malfoy didn't point his wand at me, so why should I hold him?" Kyle said.

Dumbledore's hand holding the black tea paused slightly and smiled bitterly.

"There are no secrets at Hogwarts." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and recounted what he had heard and speculated.

"Ahem......" Dumbledore coughed dryly, although he didn't say anything, but Kyle could see that this was what he meant, and he was saying good things for Malfoy.

"And one more, Professor."

"The headmaster can change the way the magic on that wall is distributed to move the magic on that wall to another place, and without the magic, the door will naturally not appear."

It's just a Death Eater sneak attack, although the location is at Hogwarts, but after all, it's not a war that Voldemort personally participated in, and there are only a dozen people who come, including cannon fodder, does this kind of thing really need to be discussed overnight?

"He wanted me to close Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, his tone undisguised with disappointment.

After listening to Kyle's explanation, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, apparently hearing about it for the first time.

"He's lucky, if he stays at the school, he'll definitely be brought back to the Ministry of Magic, and if it's confirmed that he has something to do with the Death Eaters who attacked Hogwarts, he's probably not going to come back."

"Fudge didn't think about it at all." Dumbledore said, "He insisted that the school was no longer safe and that it was a mistake to bring so many people together."

"Okay."

"What did you do to him?" Kyle asked.

"Are you sure you don't have to sleep for a while?" Kyle looked at the tiredness on Dumbledore's face, "I'm not that anxious. ”

Dumbledore was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Kyle to ask this.

"Shut down Hogwarts?" Kyle was also stunned, "What about those junior students, let them go out and face the Death Eaters alone?" ”

But the problem now is that Dumbledore definitely wants to stay in school, and it is impossible to leave the students alone and become some kind of combat advisor.

"Are you sure it's a Death Eater?" Kyle looked at his calm face, "Not Professor Snape?" ”

As the minister of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge naturally became the focus of attention, and there were three reported attacks alone, but fortunately, the Aurors arrived in time every time, which resolved the crisis.

At this, Dumbledore suddenly sighed, and looked even more tired.

Kyle froze.

Hearing this, Dumbledore seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"And what's your plan?" Kyle asked, "Or maybe the plan is to throw all the wands away." ”

"Because Rowena Ravenclaw's memories are over." Kyle said, "The Room of Requirement was built from her memories, and when they were over, they naturally disappeared. ”

This is a kind of rule of the room itself, and it has nothing to do with whether there is a door or not.

"Ah, that's okay." Kyle waved his hand.

Although it was a bit unorthodox for Dumbledore to do this, when he thought about it, he didn't seem to have much to lose. Even because he couldn't get out, he took several extra classes before Ravenclaw's memory ended.

"Ah, yes, he was rescued." Dumbledore said, "It's all to blame that I was so engrossed in talking to Fudge that I didn't expect the Death Eaters to return to Hogwarts." ”

It is basically impossible for a sixteen-year-old student who has not yet graduated to kill an old wizard who is more than a hundred years old with a requisition charm.

"What is Fudge's purpose here?" Kyle took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "He seems to be too worried about Hogwarts. ”

In contrast, Amelia Bones, who declared war on the Death Eaters in the newspapers even after being attacked and wounded, was clearly more suitable for the position of minister.

"Would you like some black tea?"

Kyle nodded, got up and left the classroom, into the hallway outside.

This time Dumbledore didn't answer Kyle, just shook his head in silence.

"What I didn't expect was that you came out at this time."

"I don't know." The fat friar shook his head and said, "I met Albus in the foyer, when he was sending the people from the Ministry of Magic away, and he didn't say anything, but asked me to call you over." ”

"Is this still the case?"

"He's scared." Kyle said.

"But Kyle, I must say that he was forced to do this or kill Lucius and Narcissa.

Dumbledore's voice was calm.

Kyle makes it all the way to the eighth floor.

Of course, only the Require Charm.

"It doesn't matter." He looked up at the row of portraits above the bookshelves behind him and whispered, "By now, all the facts have shown that my plan was wrong, and that it was just a selfish decision on my part. And only I wishfully think that I can do it. ”

"So that you can't be part of last night's events." Dumbledore whispered, "About ten days ago, Phineas told me that Malfoy had moved the Vanishing Locker out of the common room, and I knew their plan was about to begin.

"Of course not, Severus is the one in charge of guarding Malfoy, and he's injured."

"Of course not." Without hesitation, Dumbledore said, "The school will only be closed, and it will definitely not be closed." ”

Because under the premise that there is no demand, the Room of Requirement does not theoretically exist, and after the room is disbanded, Kyle, a superfluous person, is naturally kicked out.

"Thank you." Kyle said.

"Of course, no problem."

And when Voldemort came from the shadows to the front of the stage, his role was minimal.

And Dumbledore is the best candidate, as long as he is by Dumbledore's side, he is absolutely safe.

Kyle nodded.

"But we all know that he really just wants to keep himself, and I think you've probably read the recent Daily Prophet."

That way, Kyle wouldn't be useful even if he had the key.

"You're welcome." After the fat friar finished speaking, he crossed the ground like a dive and disappeared.

"Don't worry." Dumbledore waved his hand and said calmly, "The current Ministry of Magic is no longer his word, and even if it is for his own safety, he will not make any irrational decisions. ”

"It's a little privilege for the headmaster." Dumbledore said, "Coincidentally, I found a primitive Hogwarts map in the library, which showed the location of the Room of Requirement and how to use it.

"Then ask quickly." Dumbledore said, "But I'm not sure I can answer in much detail, you know, this meeting is important, I can't be late." ”

Like Connor said, he seemed to have not slept all night, with a deep exhaustion on his face.

Kyle still believes this statement.

But Kyle never thought that Fudge would actually have the idea of suspending the school...... It's not impossible to think about it, after all, everyone wants Dumbledore to protect it, and Kyle himself is no exception.

"I happened to have a plan in mind, but I soon found out that it had a serious loophole, which was that if you were there, it wouldn't be able to do it. While I was pondering what to do, I found the map. ”

The Ministry of Magic had left, and Dumbledore sat behind his desk, portraits of the headmasters snoring in frames.

"I think he wants to fight for it again." Dumbledore said, "Fudge is not a person who will change his mind easily, but the school is my bottom line, and it will not be closed no matter what." ”

"You must have a lot of questions to ask." He picked up the black tea and took a sip, "Just now, I have some time now, and I should be able to answer some of your questions." ”

After that, he hurriedly put down the black tea in his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk about it today, I really need to go to the meeting, you can go back to class quickly." ”

"Anyway." Dumbledore said, "It was my fault to lock you up in the Room of Requirement, and I sincerely hope that you will accept my apology." ”

"Fudge doesn't want you to protect him?" Kyle asked.

"yes, who's to say it isn't." Dumbledore seemed a little weak-hearted, and tilted his head slightly away from looking into Kyle's eyes.

"Speaking of which, I have a question." Dumbledore looked up, "How did you get out?" I've seen it before, and there's still no magic in that place. ”

"No need." Dumbledore said, "I'm going to go to Grimmauld Place in half an hour, and I'll rest there when the time comes." ”

Dumbledore seemed to have been scalded by the black tea, and his hand shook and spilled a lot.

"Okay, but I might have to come a little." Dumbledore said, "It's really not a pleasure to stay up all night when you're old. ”

Kyle listened to him, feeling more and more strange.

"yes, that's probably because I'm thinking too much." Kyle said, "But he's very popular, and there are Death Eaters who are willing to turn back to Hogwarts, which is dangerous to them, in order to save him."

"When." Kyle wondered, "I don't have any impressions. ”

"Everything goes well after that, you're stuck and can't leave. But I didn't expect Malfoy to hesitate again, he didn't summon his fellow Death Eaters in the first place, but waited until yesterday to start the action.

For example, Nicolame, he can be said to be the wizard who is least afraid of the Require Charm, and has accumulated more than 600 years of magical power, I am afraid that even Voldemort will not be able to kill him with the Require Charm.

"I'm really just curious." Kyle explained, "I never thought about what to do to him, and I didn't have to. ”

Just as Dumbledore stumbled upon a map of Hogwarts, Kyle's departure from the Room of Requirement was just as coincidental.

Don't dare to attack the Ministry of Magic? No kidding, if there is a fight, Voldemort's first target is the Ministry of Magic, and Cornelius Fudge Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

"Can you tell me why?" Kyle couldn't help but be a little curious, "It's all about trying to trap me in a room where you need me?" I don't think there's any point in doing that. ”

Dumbledore glanced up at the time, "Do you have any questions?" If not, I'll probably be going to Grimmauld Place, there's an important meeting at eleven o'clock, which we agreed yesterday. ”

"Plan?" Kyle frowned, "Don't tell me that letting Malfoy kill you is your plan." ”

"What a coincidence, it looks like I'm doing it too much."

Selfish?

After that, without waiting for Kyle to speak, he disappeared into the office.

Kyle glanced at the time, and it was a full three minutes before eleven o'clock, and Dumbledore's apparition to Grimmauld Twelve probably wouldn't take even three seconds.
