Chapter 760: Battle in the Castle, the Confident Death Eaters

"Oh my god, Fenrir Greyback!"

Professor McGonagall came over and saw the werewolf nailed to the wall and struggling.

"Did you do this?"

"No, it was Kyle." Cedric said quickly, "He saved me."

"Well done, you solved a big problem for the wizarding world." Professor McGonagall's tense face finally showed a little smile. She hurried over because she heard that Greyback was here.

Greyback is probably the most frightening and disgusting werewolf, because he likes to bite children the most, so that they have to grow up in a dark and lonely environment, and grow up with hatred for normal wizards.

For most wizards, even facing a werewolf in childhood is an extremely dangerous thing. Even if the child's parents can accept it, other wizards will not accept a werewolf child.

In this way, when those werewolf children grow up, they will spontaneously join him to fight against the wizards who once hated and rejected him.

Greyback believed that as long as there were enough werewolves, they would be able to conquer all wizards one day, and he had been working hard for this goal.

Including Remus Lupin, who was bitten by him when he was a child.

According to the normal trajectory, Lupin would be locked up in a small place, maybe an attic or a basement, unable to go out, without friends, unable to go to school, and would grow up slowly in loneliness.

But fortunately, he met Dumbledore, a professor who was confident enough in himself and willing to accept a werewolf child.

Later, he met James Potter and Sirius Black.

Regardless of their personalities, at least in Lupin's case, they did their best and successfully pulled a werewolf child out of the abyss.

Unfortunately, not all bitten children are as lucky as Lupin.

"Professor McGonagall, what should we do with him?" Kyle asked.

"Hand him over to the Ministry of Magic." Professor McGonagall wanted to say this, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly changed her mind.

"There is a hidden village in Cornwall, where children who were bitten by Greyback and other werewolves, and their families, live.

"Some of them happened to be my former students. I will find time to write to them."

Kel blinked, as if he had just met Professor McGonagall for the first time.

Is this the real headmaster of Gryffindor?

To be honest, Kyle couldn't think of a better solution than this.

"Okay, Kyle, go back to the common room. We are here." Professor McGonagall stretched out her wand and poked Greyback hard. The other party fainted immediately. Then he poked him again and turned into a ferret.

Professor McGonagall turned the spear into a cage for him and turned to leave.

"Wait, Professor." Kyle hurriedly chased after him. "What happened here, Professor Dumbledore?"

"I don't know either." Professor McGonagall said, "Go back..."

"I can help. "Kyle interrupted her helplessly and looked at the cage.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't graduated yet, whether it's Professor McGonagall or other members of the Order of the Phoenix, they always habitually treat him as a protected object.

After being reminded by Kyle, Professor McGonagall realized that Kyle had just solved Fenrir Greyback by himself, and from what Cedric said, the whole battle process was very easy.

"Okay..." After a little thought, Professor McGonagall stopped chasing Kyle.

"The Death Eaters attacked the castle." She said quickly: "When Sirius told me the news at first, I thought he was playing a very bad joke until I received a message from Principal Armando.

"How dare those Death Eaters do this!" Professor McGonagall was so angry that her voice trembled.

But then again, as Death Eaters, it seems normal for them to do this.

But this is not the problem that Kyle cares about.

"Professor, did the Death Eaters just come in like this?" Kyle asked, "Didn't Phineas Black tell you about the Vanishing Cabinet?"

"How do you know about the Vanishing Cabinet?" Professor McGonagall was stunned.

"Because I gave it to Draco Malfoy." Kyle said.

But this sentence caused a huge uproar in Professor McGonagall's heart.

She staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kyle helped her up in time.

"You mean, the person who cooperated with the Death Eaters to enter the school was Draco Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall raised her voice suddenly, "And what about the Vanishing Cabinet you gave him?"

"It's hard to explain this in one or two sentences." Kyle said, "Anyway, Dumbledore also knew about this. We planned to use the Vanishing Cabinet to catch all the Death Eaters who sneaked into Hogwarts."

"But now..." Kyle paused, he listened to the explosions coming from all around, spread his hands and continued: "Things seem to have changed beyond our expectations."

He didn't expect that the Death Eaters were not only not caught in one swoop, but even broke into the school. How did Dumbledore arrange it? This is different from what he thought.

Although Professor McGonagall didn't quite understand what Kyle meant, since Dumbledore knew, there was no problem.

"Principal Black did mention the Vanishing Cabinet," she said, "but he said it a little late. After we sent all the students back to their respective common rooms, the Death Eaters had already appeared in the school, and there was no extra time to stop them."

This made Kyle frown again.

He had been thinking about the plan for so long, and this was it?

Even though he bought time for the students to return to the common room, Kyle still felt an indescribable feeling, after all, he had been going for the Death Eaters from the beginning.

The combination of the Vanishing Cabinet and the Basilisk, I believe no Death Eater can escape.

But now...

Forget it.

Kyle sighed, thinking that the changes in the Room of Requirement came at a very bad time. If he could come out a day earlier... or even an hour earlier, the Death Eaters would not be able to set foot on the floor of the castle.

"Where is Professor Dumbledore?" Kyle asked again.

"I don't know." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Maybe he hasn't come back yet, or maybe he's somewhere else. I haven't seen him yet."

As they were talking, a figure wearing a black hood suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor in front of the two of them. He looked like a Death Eater.

Professor McGonagall raised her wand...

But Kyle was faster than her. A bright red light flew past Professor McGonagall's ear and landed directly on him.

The Death Eater didn't even react to what was going on. He flew backwards and hit the wall without moving.

"It seems that leaving you here is the right choice." Professor McGonagall's lips, which had been pursed, relaxed a little.

I have to admit that in terms of reaction ability, Kyle is more than a little better than wizards of her age.

Kyle smiled and said nothing.

The two separated after they came to the corner. Professor McGonagall went to the corridor on the right, and Kyle went to the left.

As for Cedric, he had to stay where he was. This was the only way from the tower to the inside of the castle, and someone had to guard it.

Kyle encountered two more Death Eaters along the way, and he easily dealt with them, but this also proved that they were just here to make up the numbers, not core Death Eaters.

"Really, how many people came in?" Kyle frowned, and was too lazy to continue looking, so he took out the Marauder's Map.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."

Kyle tapped it with his magic wand, and the lines formed by the ink immediately covered the originally blank parchment.

Just as Kyle was concentrating on looking at the map, a Death Eater quietly touched behind him.

Kyle seemed to be unaware and continued to look down at the parchment in his hand.

The face of the Death Eater under the mask showed a touch of madness, and he pointed the wand at Kyle.

He had seen Kyle's portrait and knew that this student was the person Voldemort wanted to kill. As long as he killed him, he would be able to make a great contribution and become one of the most core Death Eaters.

Because he was too excited, his heart beat faster and faster.

But at this moment, a sweet smell suddenly floated over. The smell was very complex, as if someone had put a bloody lollipop from Honeydukes under his nose.

Strange, how could there be a bloody lollipop here? Was it thrown away by a greedy student? What a lack of quality!

The Death Eater felt his head getting more and more dizzy, and the wand in his hand began to become very heavy. The next second, he fell to the ground with a plop and did not move.

Kyle still did not look back, but said lightly: "Remember to clean it up, don't let the poisonous fog drift to other places."

A black, leopard-like creature slowly walked out of the shadow behind him.

Hearing Kyle's words, the leopard snorted a little unhappily, but still raised its head. Its neck was like an angry pufferfish, and it quickly swelled up.

Soon, the sweet smell around dissipated.

Kyle continued to look at the Marauder's Map in his hand. He was careless just now and didn't remember that he had such a good thing.

At this time, the ink has covered the entire map, and the names of every Death Eater on it are clearly visible, and their locations are all clear.

With this, Kyle doesn't have to look for it aimlessly.

His eyes fell on the name of Garth, who was closest to him, but soon he saw another place.

The nearby north tower, which is also the place with the most people besides the four common rooms.

Dumbledore, Harry, Malfoy, Snape, Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Dolphin Gibbon, and... Maurice Oren.

They are all old acquaintances.

Kyle looked at the last name and was slightly stunned.

"Long time no see, Professor Oren." He said softly.

It's been too long, he almost forgot this professor who taught him a lot of Defense Against the Dark Arts in his first year, so has he finally become a Death Eater?

Kyle put away the map, took a deep breath, and walked quickly towards the tower.

There were no Death Eaters blocking the way, and he soon arrived at the bottom of the tower.

The spiral staircase leading up was blocked by a thick earthen wall, probably man-made. Mr. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie were waving their wands quickly.

"Break into pieces..."

"Break into pieces..."

But the effect was average. The earthen walls were very strong. The three people's spells only blew out a small pit, which could not allow a person to get in.

Mr. Weasley noticed that someone was coming behind him.

"Kyle, what are you doing..."

"Let's talk about old times later." Kyle waved his magic wand, and a golden-red flame slammed into the earth wall, as if red charcoal fire was thrown into the snow. Almost in the blink of an eye, the earth wall was destroyed. Burned through.

Kyle didn't stop and walked straight in. The three Weasleys who were left outside looked at each other.

"Is this... the Fire Curse?"

"Instant fire spell?"

Bill and Charlie looked at their father at the same time.

Mr. Weasley smacked his lips and nodded with some difficulty.

Although he didn't quite believe it was true, the flames in front of him that were beating and twisting as if they were alive were indeed fierce fires.

Moreover, it is a very profound fire spell that can instantly melt the earth wall obstacles arranged by the Death Eaters.

"Are we going to go in and help?" Charlie asked tentatively.

The earthen wall is gone, but the thing blocking the road now is even more terrifying.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but a part of the fierce fire was left around the earth wall. It looked like a huge fire ring. If you want to enter the tower, you must get through the fire ring.

Mr. Weasley hesitated, but finally chose to stay here.

"Forget it," he said, "Dumbledore asked us to try to make some noise, but now things have completely exceeded expectations. Let's go deal with the other Death Eaters in the castle."

"But there are many Death Eaters in the tower, Kyle..."

"Hey, Charlie, you don't think Kyle is little Ron and still needs our protection?" Bill raised his eyebrows.

"Okay!" Charlie laughed dryly, "Although it's not very friendly to Ron, it's true."

Just as they were talking, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the middle with a whoosh, passed through the "ring of fire" in the blink of an eye, and disappeared on the spiral staircase behind.

"What happened just now?" Bill asked, rubbing his eyes.

"It seems like it's a leopard." Charlie was a little unsure. The speed was so fast that he couldn't see clearly.

"Why is there a leopard in Hogwarts!"

"How do I know? He might have escaped from the Forbidden Forest. Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"Hmm... I think Kyle and Professor Dumbledore should be able to handle a leopard, even if it is black."

…

On the other side, Kyle walked all the way to the top of the tower. After arriving here, the voices above could be heard clearly.

"Dumbledore was backed into a corner and lost his wand. Well done. Draco, you're even better than we thought." A gruff voice said.

"Now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore is alone. He is surrounded by us. Kill him quickly, Draco." Another person urged.

Surrounding Dumbledore?

Kyle almost laughed. He quickened his pace again, eager to see how stupid a person could be to tell such a cold joke.

If numbers could make up for the difference in strength, Voldemort would have been beaten long ago.

"Good evening, Gibbon." It was Dumbledore's voice, his tone was very calm, as if he was inviting that person to an afternoon tea party.

"If you're in a hurry, why don't you do it yourself? I'm here. There's no need to embarrass a child."

"No, we have an order, Draco must take action." A dull voice said, "Okay, Draco, act quickly, think about Lucius and Sissy, they are waiting to listen to your wishes What’s the news?”

The threat in this last sentence is self-evident.

"Look at you, Dumbledore, you can't even hold the wand steady." It was that rough voice again, "I really don't understand why the Dark Lord cares about you so much."

"Oh, I'm exhausted and slow to react." Dumbledore's voice was filled with helplessness, "I'm over a hundred years old and I'm no longer useful, but one day... you will end up like this too. Yoshimoto of Abutadachi...if you are lucky..."

"What do you mean by this? What do you mean by this?" The Death Eater's voice became sharp, "Hurry up, Draco, kill him!"

"Relax, don't be anxious, give the young people some encouragement." A lazy voice said: "By the way, have any of you seen Fenrir?"

"He might have gone crazy in school, that brainless beast." There was a hint of disgust in the voice of another Death Eater.

"Fenrir Greyback?" Dumbledore's voice was a little more solemn.

"Yes, a werewolf, and a werewolf who likes to bite children." It was still the same lazy voice, "Would you like to guess how many students will become werewolves after tonight?"

"What a shame, Oren, the moon isn't particularly full tonight."

"Sorry, I forgot." Oren said, "But Dumbledore, Greyback is far more cruel than you think. He doesn't care if tonight is a full moon night."

"It doesn't matter, I trust the professors at school...just like I once trusted you."

"It's such an honor," Oren said.

"Okay, stop reminiscing!" a woman said shrilly, "Do it quickly, Draco, or get out of the way!"

Kyle didn't hear Malfoy speak, and he also noticed that no one mentioned Harry.

He remembered that Harry's name was clearly on the Marauder's Map just now. As the savior and Voldemort's nemesis, the Death Eaters had no reason to ignore him.

But it doesn't matter,

At this time, Kyle had already reached the top of the tower and pushed open the half-closed door in front of him.

Dumbledore was leaning against a wall, and opposite him was Draco Malfoy, who was shaking non-stop. The wand fell on the floor not far from the two of them.

Dumbledore was disarmed by someone else?

Kyle's mouth twitched, and he really felt that Dumbledore's acting was a bit fake. He had not been injured yet, so how could he be disarmed by a student... But these people still believed it.

At the same time, the movement of pushing the door quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they looked over subconsciously.

When he saw that the person coming was Kyle, Dumbledore suddenly opened his eyes wide, a little unbelievable.

At the same time... I don't know if it was an illusion, Kyle also saw three parts of regret and seven parts of panic in his expression.

On the other side, the Death Eaters were so happy that they almost shouted out.

"It's you!" The witch in the crowd had a deep hatred in her eyes, "We were just thinking about how to find you, but you came uninvited."

"Yes, I'm here." Kyle said, "Then what?"

"Give him to me, I will kill him with my own hands! No, I will torture him severely with the Cruciatus Curse!"

"No, you should give him to me." Antonin Dolohov said.

Both of them glared at each other, neither of them was willing to give in.

...
