I don’t know how Myrtle described it, but the professors came very quickly and looked very anxious.

In order to save time in opening the door, Snape even took out his wand from a distance...The door that Kyle had just repaired was shattered again in the blink of an eye.

This time the damage was more thorough, nothing was left, countless wood fragments flew into the bathroom and landed on the water pipes, making a clanging sound.

The next second, Snape rushed in. His face turned pale as he looked at Malfoy, who was tangled like a silkworm cocoon in the water pipe.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Snape roared at Kyle, "Using magic to attack classmates in school... No matter what the reason, this is an extremely excessive behavior..."

As he spoke, Professor McGonagall ran over.

She was also very angry, but much calmer than Snape. She only took a glance at the situation in the bathroom and roughly understood what was going on.

"Severus..." Professor McGonagall tried to remind Snape, but got no response.

"This behavior has seriously violated school rules. I can expel you now!" Snape stared at Kyle, as if he was the culprit of all this.

"Professor, you are wrong."

At this time, Hermione also reacted.

Although Snape looked horrible, she still stepped forward and said, "It was Harry and Malfoy who were fighting. Kyle and I came here after we heard the noise... In fact, it was Kyle who separated them."

Snape seemed not to have expected Hermione to say that. His expression froze and he was stunned on the spot.

"Not you?" He looked at Kyle puzzledly.

"Of course not." Kyle shrugged, "Harry and I are friends, why should I beat him up?"

Yes, Snape then noticed that there was another Harry Potter entangled in the water pipe.

The main reason was that the scene just now was too scary, with the mess on the ground, Malfoy who was locked up and unable to move, and Kyle holding a wand.

Snape subconsciously thought that Kyle couldn't wait and was ready to take action against Malfoy.

Although Dumbledore had assured Kyle that he would not cause trouble for Malfoy, Snape did not completely believe it and was always worried that this day would come.

He was afraid that Malfoy would be killed by Kyle directly, and in a desperate situation, this scene just happened.

Now that the truth was out, he was still somewhat embarrassed.

But after seeing Kyle's half-smile, Snape immediately frowned again.

"Why don't you explain? Do you think it's fun to fool the professor?"

"I haven't thought about it that way." Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that you didn't give me a chance to explain, Professor... You blew up the door as soon as you arrived. It was such a big commotion that I thought you were here to capture the Death Eaters, so I didn't dare to say anything."

Snape's face turned from blue to red, and then turned blue again. He felt that Kyle was laughing at him.

"Severus, he is right, you are indeed too impatient." Professor McGonagall stepped forward and stood between the two of them.

Since she came here, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with Kyle.

There were too many traces, traces of magic everywhere.

To put it bluntly, if Kyle really wanted to attack Malfoy and Harry, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

After being interrupted by Professor McGonagall, Snape didn't know what to say. He just raised his head and looked around for something.

He was looking for Myrtle.

He wouldn't have been so anxious if the ghost hadn't been shouting all over the castle, "Murder! Murder in the bathroom!"

But Myrtle also realized this and had already hidden in the sewer.

"They need to go to the school hospital," said Professor McGonagall. "As for their punishment... Headmaster Dumbledore will be back tonight, so let him make the decision then."

Snape had no objection to his decision, and he took out his wand to put Malfoy down.

But then an embarrassing scene happened. He couldn't open the water pipe on Malfoy.

The spell seemed to have completely lost its effect and fell lightly on the water pipes, just like a breeze and dissipated with a snap.

Malfoy was still tied up.

Snape tried two other different spells, but they also had no effect.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Professor, can't you solve it?" Kyle pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Do you need help?"

"Shut up!" Snape said, the sound coming out from between his teeth.

He dared to guarantee with his more than ten years of professional career that Kyle must have done it on purpose.

But he had no choice. It was a shame for a professor to be unable to lift the curse on his students, no matter what the reason.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall, who was ready to put Harry down, encountered the same situation.

However, after discovering that the Stop Instant Spell was useless, she quickly thought of another situation and used her wand to tap Harry's body back and forth for a while.

This time the pipe came loose quickly.

Harry fell to the ground, then staggered to his feet, clutching his arm.

"That's very good. It seems you have learned very well." Professor McGonagall said, with a hint of joy in her tone that Harry didn't understand.

But she quickly put on a stern face again, "Come with me, Potter, we'll talk about your problem later... Hurry up, Severus, what are you still hesitating about."

Snape didn't answer, just frowned.

Just as he was hesitating whether to cut open those sturdy water pipes, Professor McGonagall walked to the door and waved her wand again.

Malfoy fell down too.

No need to worry about it now.

Snape glared at Kyle fiercely, then helped Malfoy out.

As he passed Kyle, Malfoy shuddered all over and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

When he was entangled by those water pipes just now, he really felt scared. The feeling that his life and death depended on other people's thoughts made him almost go crazy.

Even now that he was put down, his legs were still weak and he could only move with Snape's support.

But Kyle didn't care at all.

Since he had promised Dumbledore, he would not cause trouble for Malfoy in school. This time it was purely a coincidence, and the purpose was to prevent him and Harry from continuing to fight.

In the situation just now, if he hadn't acted in time, Harry and Malfoy would have been carried to the school hospital.

The only thing that Kyle found hard to accept was that he helped so much but didn't even get any extra points for the academy.

Kyle walked out of the bathroom somewhat disappointed and prepared to go back to the common room.

"You two come here too!" Professor McGonagall's voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Kyle had no choice but to turn around and follow.

…

As one of the frequent visitors to the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey was no longer surprised by Harry's arrival.

She examined both men's bodies expertly.

"How are they?" Professor McGonagall asked. "They are not hurt."

"No problem, just a minor bruise," said Madam Pomfrey.

The two men had mostly scratches on their bodies. Harry's legs were a little stiff, a sign of the Leg-Locking Curse. Malfoy also had bruises on his back. Kyle guessed that he was hit by a Repulsive Curse and then hit the wall.

Madam Pomfrey brought out a can of distilled essence and motioned for the two to apply it to the injured areas.

During this period, Professor McGonagall also learned the whole story from Hermione, and knew that Harry and Malfoy had been fighting before Kyle left.

But she was not going to care, just like she said just now... leave everything to Dumbledore.

"Professor..." Hermione glanced at Professor McGonagall, "Can I just take care of Harry here?"

"If Madam Pomfrey has no objection, then yes." Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "But you'd better keep an eye on Potter and don't let him run around. I think the headmaster will have a lot of questions to ask him when he comes back."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall left the school hospital.

Snape glanced at them and left as well, but he put a curtain around Malfoy's bed to separate the two sides, and looked at Kyle at the same time.

"You should return to the castle."

"But Professor, I also want to be here to take care of Harry." Kyle said. He was very curious about why Harry fought with Malfoy, and he also knew that Harry would definitely tell Hermione.

"No need. The school hospital needs quiet. Miss Granger is enough alone." Snape insisted, making it clear that he didn't want Kyle to stay here.

After leaving the school hospital, the two walked side by side on the way back to the castle.

"Professor, you don't need to be so nervous." Kyle suddenly said, "No matter what, I can't do anything to Malfoy in the school hospital."

Snape didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace. Then he turned around and disappeared down the stairs leading to the dungeon classroom.

…

At the same time, in the school hospital, after the professors returned to the castle, Malfoy took advantage of Madam Pomfrey's inattention and walked out directly.

"Where are you going!" Hermione stopped in front of him vigilantly.

"Professor McGonagall just said that you have to wait here for Headmaster Dumbledore to return."

"Shut up, you dirty bastard..."

Before he could finish, Harry next to him took out his wand again.

Malfoy seemed to have thought of something, and shut his mouth angrily without saying the rest of the words. He just pushed Hermione aside impatiently and said, "No one said you have to stay in a place like this. Get out of the way!"

Having said that, he left without looking back.

Not far away, Madam Pomfrey heard the noise and came over, but did not stop it.

Because Professor McGonagall only told them not to run around, but she didn't say they had to stay in the school hospital, and there was no need for him to be hospitalized for those minor skin injuries.

Seeing that Madam Pomfrey had no objection, Harry jumped out of the bed and walked towards the door.

"Harry, you can't, Professor McGonagall said..."

"Come on, Hermione, who knows when Professor Dumbledore will be back? I can't wait here all afternoon," said Harry.

Hermione was a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. Finally, she stomped her feet and followed.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Malfoy must have a secret." Harry looked around and made sure that no one was around before he whispered, "I saw him sneaking up on the seventh floor."

"So you followed?"

"Of course," Harry blurted out, "I've got to find out what he's doing."

"You haven't given up yet?" Hermione said impatiently, "I've already said that he can't do anything in school."

"That's not necessarily the case, what if Snape helps him?" Harry said, "Professors always have more power than students, don't they? "And you saw this time that Snape had no intention of punishing him at all."

"That's because Professor McGonagall gave the decision to Headmaster Dumbledore." Hermione glanced at him and was too lazy to say anything more.

"So you found out something and started a fight. You even used the Crushing Curse. Do you know how serious this is? You might really be expelled."

"Malfoy was the first to attack me," said Harry. "I saw him crying in the bathroom, and then he attacked me without any explanation. I was just trying to protect myself."

"Wait, what did you say Malfoy was doing in the bathroom?" Hermione asked confusedly, thinking she had heard wrongly.

"He was crying," said Harry. "I also find it a little unbelievable, but it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Myrtle was comforting him.

"Malfoy also said at the time that no one could help him... and that someone wanted to kill him."

"Who wants to kill Malfoy?"

"I don't know." Harry shook his head. "I just heard this, and then Malfoy found me through the mirror. You probably don't know that Malfoy wanted to use the Cruciatus Curse on me at that time."

"That's impossible!" Hermione said loudly, "That's an Unforgivable Curse. If it's used on other wizards, the consequences will be much more serious than violating school rules."

"I know, but he did it." Harry recalled the scene at that time, "If I hadn't interrupted his spell with the Repulsive Spell in time, he would have been hit.

"But now that I think about it, I should have let him finish the spell. Like you said, if he had used the Unforgivable Curse, even Snape would not have been able to save him."

To Harry, enduring the Cruciatus Curse once in exchange for Malfoy's expulsion was a good deal.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hermione scolded, "That's the Unforgivable Curse. Just look at Katie Bell. She was only hit by the Imperius Curse once and spent several months in St. Mungo's for treatment."

"Don't be so nervous, Hermione, I was just joking." Harry said quickly.

Seeing that Hermione was still unyielding, he could only change the subject and said, "By the way, where did you meet Kyle?"

This trick really works.

"He was wandering around the castle on the sixth floor," Hermione said. "You should be thankful that Kyle was not far from the seventh floor, so he could rush over to separate you and Malfoy in the first place, otherwise you would never have been able to leave the hospital wing standing.

"The blasting curse and the crushing curse, what on earth were you thinking, were you going to kill each other?"

Hermione started to scold Harry again, saying that he shouldn't be so impulsive and should have gone to the professor first.

This time Harry did not refute. He was actually a little glad because he knew very well that he could not avoid Malfoy's blasting curse at that time.

At this point, Harry couldn't help but think of the scene where Kyle turned their spell into ravens with a wave of his hand.

He had never heard of such magical magic.

"Hermione, do you know what spell Kyle used?"

Hermione, who was chattering non-stop, suddenly became quiet. Harry didn't know if it was an illusion, but he noticed that she seemed a little embarrassed.

"I, I don't know," Hermione stammered.

In fact, at that time, she couldn't bear to see Harry's blood splattered on the spot, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and didn't see what magic Kyle used at all.

But she didn't want Harry to know this, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "It should be some magic that Kyle found in the library.

"He hasn't been to class for more than a month. He must have been reading in the library. It's not surprising that he learned some strange magic."

"And do you know which book it is?" demanded Harry.

He was too curious. He could dissolve the opponent's spell with a wave of his hand. This kind of magic was even more elegant than the Disarming Spell. There was no reason for Harry not to be tempted.

He even thought about it. Once he learned the magic, he would play a good trick on Malfoy the next time he met him.

"If you want to learn, go to the library and look for it yourself. Don't ask me everything!" Hermione said angrily, "Besides, what you should be thinking about now is not the spell, but how to face Headmaster Dumbledore and prevent him from expelling you!"

"I told you, Malfoy was the first to start. I can't just stand there and let him hit me."

Facing Hermione who suddenly got angry again, although Harry couldn't understand it, he could only spread his hands and said, "If Professor Dumbledore fires me because I want to protect myself, then I can't do anything about it."
