To be honest, Lucius actually came here with anger this time. He always thought that this was Hogwarts, and no matter what Kyle did, he would restrain himself and would not dare to do anything to him.
But in these few short minutes, his anger dissipated and turned into an inexplicable fear.
The special sweet smell he smelled just now made him feel drowsy, as if he hadn't slept all day.
He didn't know what it was, maybe some special potion. After all, Kyle was also very good at potions, and with the books in the Hogwarts library, it was not difficult to prepare some strange potions.
But Lucius was certain that if he had thrown away his wand a little later, no one knew what would have happened.
Especially since this is the forbidden forest, which hides countless magical animals. If you faint here, it would definitely be a very dangerous thing...such as the mysterious growl just now.
He suddenly remembered that the gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid was keen on taming various dangerous magical animals, and he had a good relationship with Kyle.
Maybe it was he who provided the help just now.
"What on earth am I going to do?"
Lucius calmed himself down and asked directly, “You know, what happened during the holiday was not my intention, and I had no choice.
But I can give you a large sum of Galleons as compensation to repair our relationship, how about 20,000 Galleons, plus two shops in Diagon Alley."
"That's a very tempting offer." Kyle smacked his lips, "But I can't accept it."
"That's the highest price I can offer," said Lucius. "A lot has happened recently, especially at the Quidditch World Cup. I've already paid a lot of money."
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Lucius, I don't think the money is too little, I just can't accept it." Kyle said, "Draco and I are friends, if I want to target him, there is no need to wait until now.
"I just want to help Fred and George. They had their reasons for attacking Draco. The punishment of suspension is a bit too severe."
"So, you really are just after the two Weasley kids?" Lucius asked suspiciously.
"What else?" Kyle said calmly.
"Okay, I'll go find Dolores." Lucius breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right. It's normal for classmates to have some conflicts. And I've also heard that it was Draco who was rude first this time. They shouldn't bear all the responsibility."
"That's it." Kyle smiled. "See, it's simple, isn't it?"
"Yes." Lucius also smiled, but it was very forced. "Then I will go find Dolores now..."
"No hurry." Kyle waved his hand. "Professor Umbridge is checking on Professor Hagrid's class right now. She may not have time."
"Is that so? I'll wait for a moment..." Lucius picked up the wand on the ground, "You should go back to class."
"It's okay. I've asked for leave, and this class is pretty boring."
Kyle had no intention of leaving. He glanced at Lucius and suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Malfoy, I wonder if you have heard that Professor Dumbledore wants to compete for the position of Minister of Magic."
Lucius's hand trembled, and the wand he had just picked up fell to the ground again. He quickly picked up the wand and said calmly, "Really? I haven't heard of it."
"It's okay, you know now." Kyle said with a smile, "Can you do me a little favor?"
"What?" Lucius' eyelids twitched visibly.
"Help Professor Dumbledore..."
"This is impossible!" Lucius couldn't help but shout before Kyle finished speaking.
This is the situation that Voldemort wants to see most. If Dumbledore becomes the Minister of Magic, he will have no chance of hiding any longer.
If I really helped, I would probably be killed by Voldemort immediately.
This is not just a small favor, this is a matter of life and death.
"Fudge is the most suitable minister." Lucius said righteously, "Dumbledore is more suitable to be the headmaster."
"Really? Do you think so?" Kyle shook his head. "That's a pity. I didn't expect you to forget the diary so quickly. Tsk tsk..."
"What do you mean!" Lucius held his wand, his voice trembling slightly.
“Is it difficult to understand?”
Kyle said, "You probably haven't forgotten that it's a Horcrux, and I don't need to tell you how important the Horcrux is to the You-Know-Who.
"Now the diary has been destroyed because of you. Do you think the mysterious man will let you go?"
"What Horcrux? I don't understand what you are saying." Lucius' eyes were a little vague.
Having said that, judging from his shaking arms, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
"Really?" Kyle spread his hands indifferently. "In that case, I can only wish you good luck, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius still didn't speak, but there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
He knew Voldemort, a true, emotionless Dark Lord, whether towards his enemies or his own people.
But Lucius had no choice. He could be said to be lingering on or harboring unrealistic fantasies... At least he was still useful now and would not be killed by Voldemort immediately. There was still a possibility that he could make amends.
Although the possibility is not great...it is better than nothing.
"Oh, yes."
Kyle pretended not to notice Lucius's refusal and continued to speak to himself, "For Draco's sake, I still want to advise you not to get too close to Minister Fudge recently. Otherwise, if Professor Dumbledore really becomes the minister, he will cause trouble for you."
Lucius raised his head sharply and stared straight into Kyle's eyes, as if trying to get more information.
But he could see nothing.
At this time, a noisy voice gradually came from the distance.

get out of class is over.
The voices were getting closer and closer, and they could even see a figure not far away slowly getting bigger.
"I'm going to find Dolores..." Lucius said hoarsely.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Malfoy." Kyle said, and reminded again: "Remember what I just said, stay away from Minister Fudge recently."
Lucius did not answer, but turned and left the Forbidden Forest and walked towards the castle... Obviously, he wanted to wait for Umbridge in the castle instead of going directly to the Forbidden Forest to find her.
Kyle did not leave, but cast an Disillusionment Spell on himself.
Soon, the students who were finishing their classes left and no one noticed him.
Only after Umbridge and Hagrid had left did Kyle lift the Disillusionment Curse and walk out from behind a tree.
He took out his box from the deformed lizard skin bag, held it in his hand and unlocked it.
A dark figure whooshed out from the bushes nearby and went straight into the box.
After doing all this, Kyle closed the box again and put it into the leather bag.
"Oh my god!"
However, at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind.
For some reason, Hagrid came back and returned to the Forbidden Forest again. Now he was running towards this side quickly.
But after running over, he was suddenly stunned.
"Kyle...why is it you?"
"Of course it's me, Hagrid," said Kyle. "Is there anyone else in the Forest?"
"Ah, no." Hagrid shook his head, and then asked suspiciously: "Did you...see anything just now?"
"Is there anything I should see?" Kyle asked.
"I don't know if it's an illusion," Hagrid said hesitantly, "but I think I saw a Nundu leopard just now. It's so beautiful."
"I think you must be dazzled." Kyle said with a smile, "How could there be a Nundu leopard in the Forbidden Forest? It is a very rare magical animal."
"Am I dazzled?" Hagrid scratched his hair and looked around again.
"Yes, I've been here the whole time, but I didn't see any Nundu leopards." Kyle said firmly, "You must be mad at Umbridge."
"I think you're right." Hagrid looked a little disappointed when he found nothing. "That Umbridge is really annoying. She always finds fault with me, even if I haven't done anything... I don't know why Professor Dumbledore let her stay in school.
"By the way, did you find your stuff?"
"Found it." Kyle said, "My Niffler ran away just now. I finally found it with great difficulty. Sorry, Hagrid."
"That's all right, Nifflers are like that, always up to no good." Hagrid waved his hand. "And the Thestrals won't be difficult for you, will they?"
