Chapter 760: Battle in the Castle, Confident Death Eaters



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

"You guys did this?"

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

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

Greyback is probably the most feared and hated werewolf because he loves to bite children, forcing them to grow up in a dark and lonely environment and grow up with hatred for normal wizards.

For most wizards, even facing a werewolf as a child 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 in fighting 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 worked hard towards this goal.

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

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

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

Later he met James Potter and Sirius Black.

Regardless of their personalities, at least when it came to Lupin, they did their best and successfully pulled a werewolf child out of the abyss.

Unfortunately, not all children who have been bitten 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 secluded village in Cornwall, inhabited by children who have been bitten by Greyback and other werewolves, and their families.

"As it happens, some of them were my former students. I will find time to write to them."

Kyle blinked, as if it was the first day he met Professor McGonagall.

Is this the real Head of Gryffindor? To be honest, Kyle couldn't think of a better solution than this.

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

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

"Wait, Professor." Kyle hurriedly chased after him. "What on earth is going on here, Professor Dumbledore?"

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

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

Maybe it's because he hasn't graduated yet, but Professor McGonagall and other members of the Order of the Phoenix always treat him as someone to be protected.

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

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

"The Death Eaters have stormed the castle," she said quickly. "When Sirius first told me the news, I thought he was playing a bad joke until I received a message from Headmaster Armando.

"Those Death Eaters, how dare they do this!" Professor McGonagall's voice trembled with anger.

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

But that wasn't what Kyle cared about.

"Professor, did the Death Eaters just get in like that?" 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 that's what I gave to Draco Malfoy," Kyle said.

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

She stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but luckily Kyle helped her up in time.

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

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

"But now..." Kyle paused. He listened to the explosions coming from all around him, spread his hands and continued, "Things seem to have changed in ways we didn't expect."

He didn't expect that not only were the Death Eaters not wiped out, but they even broke into the school. What exactly did Dumbledore arrange? This was different from what he thought.

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

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

This made Kyle frown again.

This is the plan he had been thinking about for so long?

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

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

But now...

never mind.

Kyle sighed, feeling that the changes in the Room of Requirement came at a terrible time. If he had come out a day earlier... or even an hour earlier, the Death Eaters would never have been 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 them. It was obvious that he was a Death Eater from his attire.

Professor McGonagall raised her wand...

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

The Death Eater didn't even react to what was happening before he was thrown backwards and hit the wall, motionless.

"It seems that keeping 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 alone, Kyle is much better than other wizards of her age.

Kyle smiled but said nothing.

The two separated after they reached the corner, Professor McGonagall went to the right corridor 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 interior of the castle, and someone had to guard it.

Along the way, Kyle encountered two more Death Eaters, both of whom were easily dealt with by him. However, this also proved that they were just there to make up the numbers, rather than core Death Eaters.

"Really? How many people came in?" Kyle frowned and was too lazy to continue looking, so he took out the live map.

"I solemnly swear I am 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 approached behind him.

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

There was a hint of madness on the Death Eater's face under the mask, and he pointed his wand at Kyle.

He had seen Kyle's portrait and knew that this student was the one Voldemort wanted to kill. If he killed him, he would make a huge 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 wafted over, the smell was very complex, as if someone put a bloody lollipop from Honeydukes under his nose.

It's strange, how come there is a bloody lollipop here? Did some greedy student just throw it there? What a lack of manners!

The Death Eater felt his head becoming increasingly dizzy, and the wand in his hand began to become extremely heavy. The next second, he fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

Kyle still didn't look back, but just said calmly: "Remember to clean it up and don't let the poisonous fog drift to other places."

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

Hearing Kyle's words, the Nangdu leopard snorted somewhat unhappily, but still raised its head. Its neck quickly swelled up like an angry pufferfish.

Soon, the sweetness around me dissipated.

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

At this time, the ink has covered the entire map, and the name of every Death Eater is clearly visible, and their locations are also clear.

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

The nearby north tower is also the most crowded place besides the four common rooms.

Dumbledore, Harry, Malfoy, Snape, Alecto Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Thorfinn 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 has been so long that he almost forgot about the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who taught him a lot 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 his 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 rapidly.

"Shattered to pieces..."

"Shattered to pieces..."

But the effect was average. The earth walls were very solid, and the spells cast by the three people only blasted out a small hole that was not enough for a person to get in.

Mr. Weasley noticed someone coming up behind him.

"Kyle, why are you..."

"Let's talk about the past later." Kyle waved his wand, and a golden-red flame slammed into the earth wall, as if throwing red charcoal into the snow. In the blink of an eye, the earth wall was burned through.

Kyle didn't stop and walked in, leaving the three Weasleys outside looking at each other.

"Is this... the Fiery Curse?"

"Instantaneous Fiery Curse?"

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 before him that kept jumping and twisting as if they had life were undoubtedly the fierce fire.

Moreover, it took a very advanced Fiery Charm to instantly melt the earth wall obstacles set up by the Death Eaters.

"Should we go in and help?" Charlie asked tentatively.

The earth wall is gone, but what is 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, which looked like a huge circle of fire. If you want to enter the tower, you have to get through the circle of fire.

Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to stay here.

"Forget it," he said. "Dumbledore asked us to make as much noise as possible, but now things have completely gone beyond our expectations. Let's go and 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 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 rushed through the middle with a whoosh, passed through the "ring of fire" in the blink of an eye, and disappeared on the spiral staircase at the back.

"What just passed by?" Bill asked, rubbing his eyes.

"It looks like a leopard." Charlie was a little uncertain. It was moving too fast and he couldn't see clearly.

"How can there be a leopard in Hogwarts!"

"How should I know? Maybe he ran away from the Forbidden Forest. Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"Well... I think Kell and Professor Dumbledore should be able to handle a leopard, even if it is black in color."

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

"Dumbledore has been backed into a corner and his wand has fallen. Well done, Draco, you've been better than we thought," said a gruff voice.

"Now is a good opportunity. Dumbledore is isolated and helpless. He is surrounded by us. Kill him quickly, Draco." another person urged.

Surround Dumbledore?

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

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

"Good evening, Gibberne." It was Dumbledore's voice, his tone 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 orders, Draco must take action." A dull voice said, "Okay, Draco, act quickly, think about Lucius and Cissy, they are waiting to hear good news from you."

The threat in this last sentence is self-evident.

"Look at you, Dumbledore. You can't even hold your wand steady." The gruff voice came again. "I don't understand why the Dark Lord cares so much about you."

"Alas, I am exhausted and my reactions are slow." Dumbledore's voice was somewhat helpless. "I am over a hundred years old and I am old and useless, but one day... you will end up like this, Gibberne... if you are lucky..."

"What do you mean? What do you mean?" 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, has anyone seen Fenrir?"

"He might have gone crazy in school, that brainless beast." Another Death Eater said with a hint of disgust in his voice.

"Fenrir Greyback?" Dumbledore's voice became more serious.

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

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

"I'm sorry, I forgot," Oren said, "but Dumbledore, Greyback is far more cruel than you think. He doesn't care if it's a full moon tonight."

"It's okay. I trust the professors at school... just like I once believed in you."

“It’s an honor,” Oren said.

"Okay, stop reminiscing!" a woman said shrilly. "Hurry up, Draco, or get out of the way!"

Kyle hadn't heard Malfoy speak, and likewise he noticed that no one mentioned Harry.

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

But it doesn't matter.

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

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

Dumbledore was disarmed by someone else?

The corner of Kyle's mouth twitched. He really felt that Dumbledore's acting was a bit fake. He was not injured at all, so how could he be disarmed by a student...but these people believed it.

At the same time, the sound of the door being pushed open quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked over.

When Dumbledore saw that the person coming was Kyle, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

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

The Death Eaters on the other side were so happy that they almost shouted out loud.

"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 we didn't expect you to come here uninvited."

"Yeah, I'm here," Kyle said, "and then?"

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

"No, you must give him to me," said Antonin Dolokhov.

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