Then a very interesting scene appeared. On one side of the tower was the trembling Malfoy and the frail-looking Dumbledore.
On the other side, two Death Eaters quarreled fiercely over the ownership of Kyle and almost fought on the spot.
But Kyle ignored them and just looked at the familiar figure in the crowd.
"Long time no see, Professor Oren." Kyle stretched out his hand and greeted him, 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, you're not going to give it a try?" Kyle asked with a smile.
"What?"
Oren was stunned at first, but then he quickly understood what he meant and subconsciously looked at Alecto and Antonin who were arguing fiercely.
"No, I'm new here and don't have much say." He shrugged, "Just leave it to them.
"After all, the Dark Lord only ordered Draco to kill Dumbledore. As for you, he did not give any clear orders. It doesn't matter who comes, as long as they can complete the task."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you, right?" As he said that, Oren walked to the window sill and sat down, pretending to be there to watch the show.
…
Tsk, Kyle curled his lips, feeling a little disappointed.
His indifferent look also caused dissatisfaction among the Death Eaters around him.
Alecto and Antonin quickly reached an agreement... They decided to attack together, and who could kill Kyle depended on their own ability.
But just as the two men stretched out their wands, the door behind Kyle suddenly exploded.
An arm made of fire suddenly smashed through the oak door and appeared in front of everyone.
Then came the head, the body... In just a few seconds, a giant made of flames appeared behind Kyle.
Due to limited space, the giant only has one head and two arms, and under its neck is a fierce fire that is surging like waves.
The temperature in the tower began to soar, and there was a constant crackling sound.
"Kyle, you..."
Even Dumbledore was paralyzed. The space in the tower was limited, and such a large-scale Fiendfyre was an indiscriminate attack.
He didn't care about anything else at the moment. He appeared in the corner at an incredible speed, stretched out his hand, and pulled out Harry who was hiding in the invisibility cloak.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand, caught the flying wand, and pointed it at Malfoy from a distance.
An invisible force pulled Malfoy to Dumbledore's side, while Fiendfyre, who followed closely behind him, was blocked five inches in front of the three of them.
Malfoy, who had escaped the disaster, looked at the raging Fiendfyre in front of him and finally couldn't hold it anymore. Tears and snot covered his face, and then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
But others were not as lucky as him and could get Dumbledore's protection.
The Death Eater closest to the door was hit by the giant's fist, and then a black shadow flashed and scratched his neck before he turned into ash.
The fierce fire around them seemed to have consciousness and automatically avoided the Nangdu Leopard who was trying to finish off the enemy.
"Gibbon, damn it!"
"Protect everyone!"
"Armor protects you!"
The Death Eaters screamed in terror all around.
The windows of the tower exploded, and flames rushed out through the windows. From a distance, it looked as if someone had inserted a huge burning torch at the highest point of Hogwarts, illuminating the dark night sky.
After what seemed like seconds, or maybe minutes, the flames died out.
Because Hogwarts Castle itself has a certain degree of magic, the main body of the tower was not severely damaged, but the color became much darker.
In the tower, Harry and Malfoy were naturally unharmed under Dumbledore's protection.
As for the Death Eaters...
Snape and Oren reacted the fastest, breaking open the window and escaping as soon as the Fiendfyre rushed in.
I don’t know if Oren chose the window seat on purpose. He ran the fastest among all the people. Even Kyle didn’t have time to react. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Antonin, who had threatened to kill Kyle before, also ran away. At the last moment, he pointed his wand at Alecto next to him and used her body to avoid the first wave of fierce fire. Then he ruthlessly cut off his right leg that was entangled by the fierce fire and jumped out of the window forcefully.
Alecto, who was backstabbed by his teammates, was now lying motionless on the ground, with only half his breath left.
But she was luckier than the Death Eater named Gibberne, she was not dead yet, and the Shield Charm just now saved her life.
The Nangdu leopard walked forward and habitually wanted to give it another claw.
This was what Kyle had instructed before. In order to avoid leaving a blood debt, it was most appropriate to let the magical beast deal the final blow... This was also the reason why the Nangdu Leopard killed Gibberne in the face of Fiendfyre just now.
But before it could get there, Alecto disappeared.
This scene made the Nangdu leopard slightly stunned, and then its nose moved, as if it smelled something, and locked its eyes on Dumbledore in front of it.
It lowered its body, and the poison sac on its neck swelled up again.
Fortunately, Kyle was quick-witted and took out the box in time and stuffed it in.
Good man, baring your teeth at Dumbledore, are you trying to kill yourself?
He only has this one Nangdu leopard, it is very precious and he doesn't want to leave it here.
"I never knew you brought such a dangerous creature with you." Dumbledore looked at Kyle. "The Nundul... In a sense, it is more dangerous than ten Death Eaters combined."
"I know, but this is a special case." Kyle said with some guilt.
He was about to graduate, and he didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. What if he was expelled like Newt and became a dropout?
It's so embarrassing to say it out loud.
Dumbledore said nothing, just looked at Kyle quietly.
But this situation did not last long.
"Professor, you locked the door of the Room of Requirement, right?" Kyle asked, but his tone was very certain.
The situation changed again, and this time it was Dumbledore's turn to feel guilty.
"How do you know?"
"I guessed it." Kyle said, "After all, Rowena Ravenclaw wouldn't do such a thing."
Dumbledore fell silent again.
"Professor, she seems to be almost out of breath." At this time, 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."
Kyle thought the same thing and glanced at Alecto behind Dumbledore.
There were probably five elite Death Eaters who came this time, two of whom escaped, and the rest all stayed in Hogwarts.
Kyle was not actually very satisfied with the result, but only a little. After all, he did not expect to get rid of them all with just a Fierce Fire Curse.
After all, he is an elite Death Eater. If it is really that simple, then Voldemort's vision in selecting people is too poor.
Apart from them, the remaining Death Eaters in the castle were just cannon fodder who were brought in to make up the numbers and attract the professor's attention. They were not a concern.
At this time, Snape came back. He entered the tower from the empty window and looked at Kyle and the dark walls around him with a complicated expression.
"Do you really have to use the Fiery Curse?" He said in a deep voice, "This is dark magic."
"But it's the most appropriate one." Kyle shrugged. "I'm facing four enemies... well, maybe six?"
Kyle whispered, glancing at Snape and the unconscious Malfoy not far away.
Snape's face changed, and just as he was about to say something, Kyle continued, "In short, under this situation, I can't be stupid enough to duel with them. I only have one chance, and I must turn the situation around while they underestimate me.
"In such a narrow space, and since we can't use Apparition, is there anything more suitable than the Fiery Curse?"
"What if Fiendfyre gets out of control!" Snape said gloomily.
"I believe in Professor Dumbledore," Kyle said calmly, "Although he looked weak and helpless just now, and even his wand was disarmed, he will definitely not remain indifferent when it comes to the safety of his students."
Dumbledore showed some embarrassment on his face again, but he couldn't refute it.
He had his own plan, but he never expected that Kyle would run out of the Room of Requirement at this time.
With Kyle's joining, the situation changed immediately, and the results he expected were completely different.
Just as the two were talking, footsteps were heard around them.
Mr. Weasley, who heard the noise, hurried over and was stunned when he saw the dark tower.
"It's lawless, so lawless, this group of Death Eaters, they actually dare to use the Fiery Fire Curse in 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, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. He coughed lightly and touched Mr. Weasley with his arm.
Mr. Weasley also reacted at this time. He remembered that it was Kyle who used the Fiery Fire Curse to burn through the earth wall blocking the way downstairs just now.

Could it be that...
"Ahem..." Mr. Weasley immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
"How are you, Professor Dumbledore?" He changed the subject, "Are you all right?"
"It's all right." Dumbledore said softly. "Severus, could you please take Alecto and Mr. Malfoy to the hospital ward? "Remember to keep a close eye on them and don't let the Death Eaters rescue them. We still have a lot to ask."
"I know." Snape said, he grabbed Malfoy and Alecto from the ground and strode downstairs, without stopping when passing Kyle.
Kyle didn't try to stop them, and let them disappear down the spiral staircase.
"Let's go back too." Dumbledore said, "Arthur, please go pick up the people from the Ministry of Magic. I think they will be here soon."
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore," said Mr. Weasley.
After that, several people left the tower one after another.
Harry was walking at the back. He looked at Kyle in the crowd with a bit of fear in his eyes.
Although he had experienced a similar scene once, the color of the Fiendfyre released by Kyle this time was darker than that in the Triwizard Tournament.
He suddenly felt dazed. How could an enemy that even Dumbledore had a hard time dealing with be solved just like that? Dumbledore seemed to see his confusion and said softly, "This is a wrong demonstration, Harry. Few people would choose to use the Fiery Blaze in such a narrow place. The Death Eaters probably didn't expect this either."
"I know," said Harry.
Not only did he know, he had also seen the consequences of doing so.
In the first grade, on the fourth floor where the Philosopher's Stone was stored, Quirrell finally used the Fiendish Fire Curse, wanting to drag everyone to death with him, but he was the first to suffer.
The uncontrollable fierce fire devoured him first.
Oh, and Kyle was there too.
But the difference 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 within a foot of Kyle, and the area where he was was also the cleanest.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Bill, who was walking in front, twitched his mouth.
Just as he thought, everything that happened just now was done by Kyle.
Several people left the tower.
The corridor, illuminated by dim lights, was full of dust and many people were waiting here.
Professor McGonagall, Sirius, Lupin...
Several Death Eaters were tied up tightly and thrown randomly into an empty classroom next door with the door blown off. Charlie was watching them.
"Albus..."
"What's going on, Dumbledore..."
Seeing Dumbledore coming out of the tower, they immediately surrounded him.
"Nothing, it's all resolved." Dumbledore's voice was a little dry. He glanced at Kyle and quickly looked back at Professor McGonagall.
"How's school going?"
"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 Vanishing Cabinet hidden in the utility room. Pomona had wrapped it with a Devil's Snare, so it can't be opened from the inside."
"That's good," said Dumbledore. "What about the students?"
"Everything is fine," said Professor McGonagall. "Most of the students are in the common room, under the supervision of the professors, and they are safe. Except for ..."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Kyle and Harry, her meaning was self-evident.
"It's alright," said Dumbledore. "Please go and call the students to the Great Hall now. I have something to announce."
"Good," said Professor McGonagall, and hurried away.
Dumbledore also came to the hall with others.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, a huge figure ran over in a hurry.
"Thank goodness you are here, Headmaster Dumbledore."
"Hagrid, what's going on?" 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 and he also took someone away..."
"He was not captured, but rescued." Dumbledore's voice became a little tired. "It was Antonin Dolohov, also a Death Eater."
"What, Death Eaters?" Hagrid suddenly realized.
No wonder that man cast a spell on him when he was chasing Oren just now.
"Did you catch him?" Kyle asked.
"No." Hagrid shook his head. "He ran too fast."
"Yeah, he's really good at running away." Kyle sighed.
A few years ago, Oren ran away surrounded by a group of hitters, and he was not caught for so long.
After a few minutes, students started to arrive.
At the same time, people from the Ministry of Magic also arrived. Led by Mr. Weasley, Fudge and Scrimgeour hurried into the castle gate. When they saw Dumbledore, they immediately came over.
"Hagrid." Harry walked over stealthily and asked, "Who is this Oren you're talking about?"
"A hateful traitor and a dark wizard." Hagrid gritted his teeth and said, "He used to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the school, just one year before you came to the school."
"What?" Harry's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the Death Eater who had no sense of existence had such an identity.
The year before he entered school was Kyle's freshman year, no wonder they knew each other.
"What did this man do?" Harry asked curiously.
Speaking of this, Hagrid became even angrier.
"He tried to steal the unicorn kits from the Forbidden Forest, and he wanted to kill Kyle."
Speaking of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years, the one Hagrid hated the most was Oren, even Umbridge had to rank behind him.
Because no matter what, Umbridge never intended to kill a student.
Harry was listening nearby, looking back at Kyle from time to time. He had not expected that so many things had happened in Hogwarts before he enrolled.
This Oren is simply another Quirrell.
I have to say that Dumbledore's taste in selecting professors for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course was really poor.
