MTL - Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard-Chapter 735 right hand fox

Chapter 735 Right-hand man Fox

 For Dumbledore, the news brought by Kyle was quite a surprise.

Death Eaters are scary when they're hiding in the dark, but it's different when they're exposed to the sun.

The Vanishing Cabinet can help Death Eaters avoid the castle's magical defenses. If they don't know it in advance, Death Eaters can indeed use this method to take the initiative and catch them by surprise.

 But now they know that the immovable disappearing cabinet has become the Death Eaters' biggest flaw.

Dumbledore was very confident that he could catch all the Death Eaters who used this method to enter Hogwarts.

What he is thinking about now is how to remove Draco Malfoy from this matter, so as to prevent their family from being angered by Voldemort.

After all, if the Death Eaters really want to attack Hogwarts, there will definitely be a lot of people coming. If all these people are killed, Voldemort will definitely be furious.

 At that time, the Malfoy family who proposed this method will be finished.

 Dumbledore wanted to save their lives.

"What do you mean?" Phineas immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "It's so rude, how could you say that to Dippet!"

Hogwarts is very big, and there are secret rooms and places like the Room of Requirement that few people know about. Even if Dumbledore is the principal, there is no guarantee that he will know all the secrets of Hogwarts.

 He returned the original map to Kyle and kept a copy for himself.

"Isn't it? It's right here." On the map, a footprint made of ink was extremely conspicuous, with the name "Vanishing Cabinet" written on it.

If Malfoy finds a similar room, they may not be able to find it right away, and no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless.

As the principal, he has the responsibility to protect every student, even if the other party deliberately wants to kill him.

"Of course." Kyle said, "I've prepared it in advance."

"Indeed." Kyle nodded, "Anyway, a certain principal is idle. It's good to find something for him to do and avoid being beaten every day..."

"They will keep an eye on it for me." Dumbledore said with a smile. "I have a lot of things to do recently, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to bring the map with me. And at certain special times, if it suddenly makes a sound to remind me, it will It’s a nuisance.”

After all, there are many people in the common room. In addition to what happened in the past few years, there were also a few more portraits at the entrance to the common room of each college.

Two witches rushed into his portrait one after another. Without saying a word, they punched and kicked Phineas.

"Oh?" Dumbledore took a look at the map and immediately understood what was going on. "Is this name tracking magic?"

Dumbledore shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

Dumbledore seemed to have been used to all this for a long time. He waved his wand skillfully, and the screams suddenly stopped.

"What did you say?"

 If you want to use the Vanishing Cabinet to ambush Death Eaters, you must know where it is.

This is indeed the case. This effect was created by Kyle based on the Marauder's Map... The only difference is that this map is not as dense as the Marauder's Map. There is only this one name on it, and its movement can be said to be clear at a glance.

That position is just within sight of the portraits on the wall.

 But it is his responsibility as the principal to protect the students, not Kyle's... And whether this can be done is still a matter of debate.

 Because there is no need.

“Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand?” Principal Dippet glanced sideways at Phineas. “Who is this child talking about? You have no idea at all?”

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "It's a very simple trick, just use magic words to change the target from a wizard to an item, but it's very useful."

He may not care about Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, but he cannot ignore Draco. No matter what, Draco Malfoy is a student of Hogwarts.

 After glancing at it, he pointed to the Slytherin common room.

From their looks, they seemed to be the same person, but one was middle-aged and the other was much younger, but Kyle had never seen her before.

"No need to bother." Dumbledore said. With a wave of his hand, the map on the table immediately floated to a shelf behind him.

While speaking, Kyle looked at the map again.

"No, no, you misunderstood, Principal Black, that's not what I meant." Kyle said without raising his head, not even bothering to explain.

"Kyle, the most critical question now is...do you know where he will hide the disappearing cabinet?" he asked.

But Dumbledore did not tell Kyle this idea. It was not that he did not believe Kyle. He was very sure that if he opened his mouth, Kyle would most likely not refuse.

If Fred and George were there, they would be able to tell at a glance that this kind of footprints and names are unique marks on the Marauder's Map.

 He would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.

　　It can be seen that the vanishing cabinet is still in the Slytherin common room. Perhaps he is not ready yet, or perhaps the other vanishing cabinet has not been repaired yet, but in any case, Malfoy does not seem ready to act immediately.

　　While talking, Kyle took out a map of Hogwarts and spread it out on the table.

“When I put the disappearing cabinet back, I made a small change on it and added a special magic text.”

Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it, and the map immediately became two copies. With the support of Dumbledore's powerful magic, both the map and the magic attached to it were preserved.

But this is good, they will have more time to prepare.

Before Kyle could think about it, bursts of screams echoed through the principal's office.

"Who else could it be but you?" Phineas said. "It can't be Spohr, but she is really quite free..."

No matter what, it was impossible for Malfoy to use the common room as an entry point. He would definitely choose a more hidden place.

"Professor, do you need to add a reminder spell?" Kyle thought for a while and said: "As long as the position of the disappearing cabinet changes, an alarm or something like that can be set off, so you don't have to keep watching."

 In the portrait, Phineas is still being beaten, but the sound cannot be heard...

“Those two people are both Phylida Spurs, just portraits of her at different times.” Dumbledore explained.

“How can one person leave two portraits in the principal’s office?” Kyle asked doubtfully.

 “Theoretically it’s possible.”

"Okay, let's get down to business." Dumbledore said, "I may have to leave Hogwarts for a while. Could you please pay more attention to Draco Malfoy?"

"I'm very busy, Professor." Kyle said, "I am in seventh grade now, and I will take the N.E.W.T. exam in half a year. In order to find a good job after graduation, I must get enough certificates. , otherwise you should find someone else to do this."

Kyle said, "I think Professor Snape is good. He is the Dean of Slytherin. He has plenty of time. He can also observe Malfoy or Harry."

"Harry?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "I remember that their relationship was not very harmonious."

"That's why it's appropriate." Kyle said, "As old rivals for six consecutive years, no one knows each other better than them. If there is anything wrong with Draco Malfoy, Harry will definitely be able to detect it immediately. Arrived."

"But he is not the best candidate." Dumbledore shook his head, "Harry's character is somewhat impulsive, and it is inevitable that he will be a little negligent when facing some special things."

"Besides, Kyle, I think you misunderstood me." Dumbledore continued: "I'm not asking you to look at Malfoy all the time, I'm just asking you to pay more attention and don't let some dark magic items enter Hogg." Watts.

“You know, Katie Bell is still at St. Mungo’s and we can’t send a second student there.”

 “Okay, I’ll try my best,” Kyle said.

If that's all, it's not too troublesome.

The school is different from Hogsmeade. It is not that easy to bring dark magic items in. Moreover, even if Dumbledore leaves the school, the professors are still there. Whether it is Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick, they all have experience. Rich wizards, it is not easy to cause trouble under their noses, and Malfoy is not that stupid.

 At best, he can only play a supporting role. Seeing Kyle agree, Dumbledore nodded.

"Oh, is it so late?" He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, "I think you must be hungry too. I heard that the kitchen made fried pork chops tonight, or you want to go to Grimmauld with me? You can also go to Plaza No. 12, Molly will definitely welcome you."

"Forget it, I'd better go to the auditorium." Kyle stood up and said.

"I think so..." Dumbledore looked at Kyle with a teasing expression, and a gossipy look on his face, "There are only a few boring adults like us in No. 12 Grimmauld Place now, you I would definitely rather stay in school, right?"

Kyle didn't answer, he just stood up and glanced at the silver tea can on the table intentionally or unintentionally.

Dumbledore was keenly aware of the change in Kyle's eyes, and immediately became nervous, reaching out to put away the tea can.

At this time, Kyle suddenly looked at the window behind him in surprise, "Professor McGonagall? What are you doing outside the window on a broomstick, oh...be careful!"

 Subconsciously, Dumbledore turned his head and looked over...

 Then he seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing across his cheeks, blowing a few beards.

It’s really strange, why is there still wind even though the window sill is closed?

Before he had time to think about it, Dumbledore felt a thump in his heart. With his strong self-control, he suppressed his instinct and turned his head back.

Then he saw that the silver tea can on the table was already in Kyle's hand.

 He should have thought a long time ago, how could Mag appear outside the window of the principal's office riding a broom in the middle of the night? This was definitely an excuse used by Kyle to divert his attention.

 But why would he fall for such a poor excuse?

Dumbledore was very upset.

 But there is no time to think about this now, he must make amends as soon as possible...

Dumbledore had many thoughts on his mind... but Kyle didn't give him the chance at all.

As if he had rehearsed it countless times, after getting the tea can, Kyle immediately ran to the door without looking back, and the whole sequence of actions was smooth and smooth.

When Dumbledore stood up, Kyle had already reached the door, and was only one step away from opening the door.

Dumbledore once again placed his hope on Fawkes, hoping that he could stop Kyle.

And Fox also noticed the change in Dumbledore's eyes. He flew down from the perch and came to Kyle... and opened the door for him with his wings.

“Thank you, Fox, I’ll treat you to some mandrakes later, you can choose whatever you want!”

Kyle's voice echoed in the passage outside the principal's office.

Fox chirped happily, and followed out with fluttering wings without even looking at Dumbledore.

 As if for just a moment, there was only a lonely old man left in the principal's office, and the sound of something breaking.

 …

 “Here, try this.”

 In the auditorium, Kyle handed a cup of black tea with milk and sugar cubes to Kangna.

Kanna took a sip and her eyes immediately lit up.

"How about it?"

 “Delicious!” Kangna nodded repeatedly and took another big sip.

"It tastes good for sure. This is the principal's treasure." Kyle shook a silver tea can in his hand.

This jar is also a good magic item. Its function is similar to the box that Nico gave him before, and the material is also very precious. It is the same as the Gryffindor Sword, which is the secret sterling silver unique to elves.

Kyle made a rough estimate and found that a jar as big as this would require about 10,000 Silver Sickles to be repeatedly smelted and purified. It would be worth a lot of money.

“This is what the principal gave you?” Kangna took another sip and marveled at how Kyle could always get some good things from the principal.

"No, he wouldn't give it up." Kyle shook his head and said calmly: "I snatched this."

"What? Robbed it?" Kangna choked, her hand holding the cup paused, and she looked at Kyle in disbelief.

“Yeah, I stole it.” Kyle said, “But don’t worry, it’ll be fine. I helped him solve a big problem, so he has to show it.

　　“And this is what he acquiesces to.”

 What Kyle said is not unreasonable.

 The walk from the eighth floor to the auditorium is not a short one. Dumbledore could definitely catch up with Kyle if he wanted to.

 But he didn't do that, and he didn't even chase him out of the principal's office. Otherwise, he would have snatched the jar back long ago.

 …

　　After receiving Kyle’s assurance, Kangna felt more at ease, but looking at the cup in her hand, she was still a little unbelievable.

Kyle should be the first one who dares to blatantly steal Principal Dumbledore's things and show them off... Connor thought to herself.

 …

 The time soon entered December, and before I knew it, snowflakes started to fall outside.

As Kyle thought, Dumbledore didn't come to ask for his tea jar back. Of course, Kyle didn't see him in Hogwarts either.

Perhaps as Dumbledore said in the Headmaster's Office, he has a lot to do.

Kyle has been observing Draco Malfoy consciously or unconsciously recently.

 But his behavior was no different from usual. Apart from going to class every day, he would make trouble for Harry, as if he only had a fight with Harry before the day was considered complete.

In addition to Malfoy, Kyle also has to deal with another person...Slughorn.

  He didn’t know where he got the news. He knew that the Ministry of Magic had canceled the floo network with Hogwarts. Now, the reason Kyle used to refuse to attend the dinner party was no longer valid.

As a result, various invitations would be sent over every now and then.

Although Kyle had tried his best to find other excuses, he still couldn't stop Slughorn from holding dinner parties five times a week. In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and attend a few times.

It was said to be a dinner party, but in fact it was just a few people sitting around Slughorn, listening to him talk about who among the students he taught in the past had achieved what achievements, and who had given him what gifts.

 Then following the procedure, everyone made a sound of exclamation together, like this every time.

 In contrast, dinner has become the least important part. Kyle went there several times and always went straight to the kitchen as soon as he came back.

 There’s nothing I can do about it, there’s really nothing to eat there.

 He was pretty good, after all, the Hufflepuff common room was close to the kitchen, so he could come there anytime he wanted to eat.

But the same cannot be said for Harry and Hermione. Every time Slughorn ends a dinner meeting, he is stuck in the curfew time, and they have no time to take a detour to the kitchen.

 Fortunately, there was Ron who could pack something for them from the auditorium and just bake it in the fireplace when they got back. Although the taste was a bit worse, it was still better than nothing.

 …
