Chapter 761 The lighted tower
The appearance of Kyle broke the original situation of the tower.
So an interesting scene appeared. On one side of the tower were a trembling Malfoy and a frail-looking Dumbledore.
On the other side, in order to compete for Kyle's ownership, two Death Eaters had a heated argument and almost started fighting on the spot.
But Kyle ignored them and just looked at the familiar figure in the crowd.
"Long time no see, Professor Oren." Kyle extended his hand to say hello, looking like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Yes." Oren said calmly: "Long time no see, it's rare that you still remember me."
“So, aren’t you going to try for it?” Kyle asked with a smile.
"What?"
Oren was stunned for a moment at first, and then quickly understood what he meant, and subconsciously looked at Alecto and Antonin, who were having a quarrel.
“No, I’m new here and don’t have much say.” He shrugged, “Just leave it to them.
“Armor for protection!”
The poisonous leopard stepped forward, wanting to mend a claw out of habit.
Dumbledore was paralyzed. The space in the tower was limited, and such a large-scale fire was simply an indiscriminate attack.
Due to the limited space, the giant only had one head and two arms. Under its neck was a fierce fire that surged like ocean waves.
But luckier than the Death Eater named Gibbon, she was not dead yet. The iron armor curse just saved her life.
“Protect everyone!”
Antonin, who had previously threatened to kill Kyle, also ran away. At the last moment, he pointed his wand at Alecto next to him, used her body to escape the first wave of fire, and then cruelly cut himself off. His right leg was entangled by Li Huo and he jumped out of the window.
As for the Death Eaters…
Because Hogwarts Castle itself has a certain degree of magic, the main body of the tower did not suffer much damage, but the color became a lot darker.
“Kyle, you...”
Alecto and Antonin quickly reached an agreement... They decided to go together. As for who can kill Kyle, it all depends on his ability.
The temperature in the tower began to soar, and there was a constant crackling sound.
“After all, the Dark Lord only ordered Draco to kill Dumbledore. As for you, he didn’t have a clear order. It’s the same for anyone, as long as the task can be completed.”
“Of course, I have no reason to lie to you, right?” After saying that, Oren walked to the window and sat down, pretending to be watching a show.
An invisible force pulled Malfoy to Dumbledore's side. As for Li Huo, who was following behind him, he was blocked five inches in front of the three of them.
With a blink of a blink of an eye — oren didn't know if Oren deliberately chose that window seat. He was the fastest runner among them. Even Kyle didn't react.
The Death Eater closest to the door was directly punched by the fire giant's fist, and then a black shadow flashed across his neck before he turned into ashes.
Snape and Oren reacted the fastest, breaking open the window and escaping as soon as Li Huo came in.
And his indifferent look also aroused dissatisfaction among the Death Eaters around him.
…
Fortunately, Kyle had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he took out the box in time and shoved it in.
In the tower, Harry and Malfoy were protected by Dumbledore and were naturally unscathed.
The frightened screams of Death Eaters could be heard all around.
After what seemed like seconds, maybe minutes, the flames went out.
"Yeah?"
This is what Kyle explained before. In order not to leave a blood debt, it is most appropriate to give the final blow to the magical beast... This is also the reason why the Poison Leopard killed Gibbon with fierce fire just now.
Tsk, Kyle curled his lips, feeling a little disappointed.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand, caught the flying wand, and pointed it at Malfoy from a distance.
An arm made of flames slammed through the oak door. Appeared in front of everyone.
Then the head, the body... In just a few seconds, a giant made of flames appeared behind Kyle.
The windows of the tower exploded, and fierce fire poured out along the windows. From a distance, it seemed as if someone had inserted a huge burning torch at the highest point of Hogwarts, lighting up the dark night sky.
It lowered its body and the poison sac on its neck swelled again.
“Gibbon, **** it!”
Malfoy, who had escaped unscathed, finally couldn't hold on anymore when he looked at the fierce fire in front of him. His face was covered with tears and snot, and then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
But just as the two stretched out their wands, the door behind Kyle was suddenly blown open.
This scene made the Poison Leopard slightly stunned, and then it moved its nose, as if it smelled something, and locked its eyes on Dumbledore in front of it.
The surrounding Li Huo, as if consciously, automatically bypassed the Poison Leopard who was finishing the last attack.
Alecto, who had been stabbed in the back by his teammates, was lying motionless on the ground with only half a breath left.
At the moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He appeared in the corner at an incredible speed, reached out and grabbed Harry, who was hidden in the invisibility cloak.
But others were not as lucky as him and were able to get Dumbledore's protection.
But before it could walk past, Alecto disappeared.
Good guy, show your teeth at Dumbledore and risk your life?
He is just a poisonous leopard. It is precious and he does not want to leave it here.
"I never knew that you actually brought such a dangerous creature." Dumbledore looked at Kyle, "The Poison Leopard... In a sense, it is more dangerous than the ten Death Eaters put together. "
"I know, but isn't this a special situation?" Kyle said with a guilty conscience.
He will graduate soon, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble at this time. What if he is expelled like Newt and becomes an undergraduate.
It doesn’t sound good to say it out loud, it’s too embarrassing.
Dumbledore didn't speak, just looked at Kyle quietly.
But this situation did not last long.
"Professor, you locked the door to the Room of Requirement, right?" Kyle asked, but his tone was very sure.
The situation has changed again, and this time it is Dumbledore's turn to feel guilty.
"how do you know."
"You guessed it," Kyle said. "After all, Rowena Ravenclaw wouldn't do such unnecessary things."
Dumbledore fell silent again.
"Professor, she seems to be out of breath." At this moment, Harry suddenly said: "Is it really okay?"
"I will explain." Dumbledore looked at Kyle and said, "But now we'd better finish the matter at hand."
Similarly, Kyle thought the same way. He glanced at Alecto behind Dumbledore.
There should be five elite Death Eaters coming this time, two of them escaped, and the rest all stayed in Hogwarts.
Kyle was actually not satisfied with this result, but only a little. After all, he didn't expect to use a fire spell to get rid of them all.
They can be considered elite Death Eaters after all. If it were that simple, then Voldemort's taste in selecting people would be a bit too poor.
Other than them, the remaining Death Eaters still in the castle were just cannon fodder who were brought in to make up the numbers and attract the professor's attention, so they were nothing to worry about.
At this time, Snape came back. He entered the tower through the empty window, looked at Kyle and the surrounding dark walls, his eyes became very complicated.
“Do you have to use the Fire Curse?” He said solemnly: “This is black magic.”
"But it's also the most appropriate." Kyle shrugged, "I'm facing four enemies...well, maybe six?"
Kyle whispered, glancing at Snape and Malfoy, who had fainted not far away.
Snape's expression changed, and just when he was about to say something, he heard Kyle continue: "Anyway, in this case, I can't be foolish enough to duel with them. I only have one chance, and I must take advantage of them to underestimate the enemy and be careless. Time to turn the situation around.
“In such a narrow space, and disembodiment cannot be used, is there anything more suitable than the Fire Spell?”
“What if the fire gets out of control?” Snape said gloomily. Even he was almost affected just now. If Dumbledore had reacted slower, Harry and Malfoy would have been doomed. They would never be able to escape.
"I believe Professor Dumbledore." Kyle said calmly: "Although he looked weak and helpless just now, and even his wand was disarmed, he will definitely not be indifferent when it comes to the safety of his students."
Dumbledore's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he couldn't refute.
He originally had his own plan, but he never expected that Kyle would actually run out of the Room of Requirement at this time.
With the addition of Kyle, the situation immediately changed, and the results he expected completely changed.
While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps coming from around them.
Mr. Weasley heard the noise and hurried over. Looking at the dark tower, he was stunned.
“It’s lawless, it’s so lawless, these Death Eaters, they actually dare to use the Fire Curse in the school!” Mr. Weasley blurted out.
But Bill next to him didn't think so. He looked at Kyle, who was unharmed, and Alecto, who was lying on the ground with no idea of his life or death. He coughed lightly and touched Mr. Weasley with his arm.
Mr. Weasley also reacted at this time. He thought that when he was downstairs just now, it was Kyle who used the fire spell to burn through the earthen wall blocking the road.
Should it be...
“Ahem…” Mr. Weasley immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"How are you, Professor Dumbledore." He changed the subject and said, "Are you okay?"
“It’s okay,” Dumbledore said softly. "Severus, could you please take Alecto and Mr. Malfoy to the school hospital?
"Remember to be careful and don't let the Death Eaters rescue them. We still have many things to ask."
"I know." Snape said. He grabbed Malfoy and Alecto from the ground and strode downstairs. He didn't stop when he passed Kyle.
Kyle didn’t stop them and allowed them to disappear up the spiral staircase.
"Let's go back too." Dumbledore said, "Arthur, please go pick up the people from the Ministry of Magic. I think their people will be here soon."
“Okay, Professor Dumbledore,” said Mr. Weasley.
After that, several people also left the tower one after another.
Harry walked at the back. He looked at Kyle in the crowd with a bit of fear in his eyes.
Although he had already experienced a similar scene once, compared to the time in the Triwizard Tournament, the fire released by Kyle this time was darker.
He suddenly felt a little dazed. An enemy that even Dumbledore found difficult to deal with was solved like this?
Seemingly sensing his doubts, Dumbledore said softly: "This is a wrong demonstration, Harry. Very few people would choose to use the Fire Curse in such a narrow place, and the Death Eaters probably wouldn't have thought of it either. "
“I know,” said Harry.
Not only did he know it, he had seen the consequences.
When he was in the first grade, where the Magic Stone was stored on the fourth floor, Quirrell finally used the Fire Spell, trying to pull everyone to death together, but he was the first to suffer.
The uncontrollable fierce fire devoured him first.
Oh, Kyle was there at the time.
But what was different from that time was that the fierce fire released by Kyle seemed to have its own consciousness. He just noticed that the flames could not get close to one foot around Kyle, and the area where he was was also the cleanest.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Bill, who was walking at the front, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought, everything that happened just now was done by Kyle.
Several people left the tower.
The dimly lit corridor was full of dust, and many people were waiting here.
Professor McGonagall, Sirius, Lupin…
Several Death Eaters were **** tightly and randomly thrown into an empty classroom nearby whose door was blown open. Charlie was watching them from the side.
“Albus…”
"How's it going, Dumbledore..."
When they saw Dumbledore coming out of the tower, they immediately surrounded him.
"It's nothing, it's all solved." Dumbledore's voice was dry. His eyes glanced at Kyle and then quickly returned to Professor McGonagall.
“How’s it going at school?”
“It’s all settled,” said Professor McGonagall.
“There are six Death Eaters in total, and they are all here.”
“In addition, we also found the disappearing cabinet hidden in the utility room. Pomona has entangled it with a devil’s net and it will never be opened from the inside.”
"That's good," Dumbledore said. "Where are the students?"
"Everything is fine," said Professor McGonagall. "Most of the students are in the common room, watched by the professors. They are safe. Except..."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Kyle and Harry, and the meaning was self-evident.
"It doesn't matter." Dumbledore said, "Please go and call the students to the auditorium now. I have something to announce."
“Okay.” Professor McGonagall said and left in a hurry.
Dumbledore also brought others to the foyer.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, a huge figure hurried over.
“Thank God, Headmaster Dumbledore, you are here.”
“Hagrid, what’s the matter?” Dumbledore asked.
"Oren, I saw him." Hagrid roared: "That traitor, he was in the school just now. I wanted to catch him, but the cunning guy slipped away. He also captured a people…"
"It's not a capture, it's a rescue." Dumbledore's voice became a little tired, "It's Antonin Dolohov, who is also a Death Eater."
“What, Death Eaters?” Hagrid was stunned.
No wonder, when he went after Oren just now, that man would cast a spell on him.
“Did you catch him?” Kyle asked.
"No." Hagrid shook his head, "He ran too fast."
“Yeah, he’s really good at escaping.” Kyle sighed.
A few years ago, Oren ran away surrounded by a group of beaters and was not caught for so long.
After a few minutes, students began to come.
At the same time, people from the Ministry of Magic also arrived. Under the leadership of Mr. Weasley, Fudge and Scrimgeour hurried into the castle gate. When they saw Dumbledore, they came over immediately.
"Hagrid." Harry sneaked over and asked, "Who is the Oren you are talking about?"
“A hateful betrayer and a dark wizard.” Hagrid gritted his teeth and said, “He was also the school’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, just one year before you came to school.”
“What?” Harry’s eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the nonexistent Death Eater had such an identity.
The year before he entered school, wasn't it when Kyle was in first grade? No wonder he knew each other.
“What did this man do?” Harry asked curiously.
Speaking of this, Hagrid became even more angry.
“He tried to steal the unicorn cubs from the Forbidden Forest, and he tried to kill Kyle.”
Speaking of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years, Oren is the one Hagrid hates the most, even Umbridge ranks behind him.
Because no matter what she did, Umbridge would never want to kill a student.
Harry was listening nearby, and looked back at Kyle from time to time. He did not expect that so many things happened at Hogwarts before he entered the school.
This Oren is simply another Quirrell.
I have to say that Dumbledore’s choice of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was really bad.
