This time Snape's sudden visit was a reminder to Kyle. He didn't know who Dumbledore had met before leaving, or what they talked about.

Snape might come to him today, and Slughorn might come to him tomorrow for another matter, but he couldn't guarantee that he could fool him every time.

In other words, this unknown situation is the biggest test.

Kyle's way of dealing with it is also very simple...run away.

After Snape left the headmaster's office, he asked the headmaster's portrait to help call Professor McGonagall, who had just finished class, and mentioned the matter to her.

"You mean, Severus came to see you? And said something you didn't know at all?" Professor McGonagall frowned and looked a little surprised.

"He just left a short time ago," Kyle said. "To be honest, I've never been this nervous before, even when I was taking a NEWT."

"Dumbledore really rarely mentioned Severus to us, and I can't help you with that." Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "Strange, why didn't he mention this in the letter?"

"That's the crux of the matter." Kyle sighed, "I don't know how many times this kind of situation will happen. If it happens too often, it will definitely be exposed."

"So what do you think?"

"I can't stay here any longer." Kyle took a deep breath, "As long as they can't find Dumbledore, they naturally won't have a chance to expose me."

"No." Professor McGonagall shook her head without hesitation and rejected Kyle's proposal.

"I don't think it has any effect, Professor," said Kyle. "Wasn't Professor Dumbledore always away from school before? I'm sure everyone is used to it.

"Besides, I've already shown up at the opening party, so it shouldn't matter if I leave school temporarily."

Professor McGonagall hesitated and did not refuse immediately as she had done before.

But after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No."

"Why?"

"Because you can't disappear forever." Professor McGonagall said, "The You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters have been active this year. You need to show up at school more often."

"I can just come back when the time comes." Kyle said, "Didn't Professor Dumbledore do the same thing before?"

"Then how do you get in and out of the school?" Professor McGonagall said, "The students have already started school. If you want to come to school, you can only go through Hogsmeade. There are all kinds of people there. Even if you use the invisibility cloak, you can't guarantee that you can hide from everyone.

"A student who has already graduated and returns to Hogwarts will inevitably arouse other people's suspicion. We should try our best to avoid any situation that may expose us, unless you use Dumbledore's identity every time."

"That's easy, as long as we don't go to Hogsmeade." Kyle laughed.

The problem that Professor McGonagall was worried about was not a problem for him at all.

"Not going to Hogsmeade? Then how can you ..."

Before Professor McGonagall could finish her words, she saw Fawkes, who had been perched on a branch, fly over and land on Kyle's shoulder.

"Fawkes?" Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then she realized something, "No wonder Dumbledore asked you to pretend to be him."

She had never seen Fawkes so close to anyone other than Dumbledore... This was also a recognized fact in the wizarding world.

Almost all wizards know that Dumbledore has a phoenix by his side. In a sense, this is also a symbol of his identity. As long as you see an old man with a phoenix, there is no doubt that it must be Dumbledore.

This is something that no one else can imitate, even if you drink the polyjuice potion.

Before this, she had never understood why Dumbledore was so confident in letting Kyle impersonate him. Now she finally understood.

With Fox's cooperation, Kyle didn't even need to use Polyjuice Potion. Even the most common human transformation could easily make people believe his identity.

"I'm fine." Professor McGonagall nodded immediately. She glanced at Kyle and said, "While the Polyjuice Potion is still effective, please show up again and then you can leave.

"Next time... maybe Halloween. After all, Dumbledore always needs to be present when there is an important party at school."

"I see." Kyle nodded.

He then changed into a less formal silver-gray robe and followed Professor McGonagall out of the headmaster's office.

"What do I need to do?" Kyle asked.

"You don't need to do anything. Just proceed as usual." Professor McGonagall, "Think about what Dumbledore would do when he was in school. Don't do anything deliberate."

"I can't think of it. He hasn't appeared in school in recent years. Every time I saw him, it was in the principal's office."

"Then think further back. You must have seen him when you were in first grade."

As they talked, they walked through the area where the gargoyles were, and when they passed the Gryffindor common room, they ran into a group of students who were preparing to go to lunch.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore..." Seamus Finnigan, who was walking in the front, said excitedly, "Headmaster, is what you said before true?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's Quidditch. If we win the championship, can we really get 200 extra points?" Seamus rubbed his hands. "And how is the gold medal selected? Is it nominated by the team? Or does everyone vote together?"

"First of all, you will definitely get 200 points, provided you can win the championship." Kyle said with a smile, "As for the second question, you will know when the time comes."

"Couldn't you have told us in advance?"

"We have to keep some mystery." Kyle blinked. "Okay, let's go have lunch quickly. We have black pepper fried pork chops today."

"Okay then..." Although Seamus was not very satisfied with the answer, he still left out of respect for the headmaster.

"I want to know, too. How is this standard determined?" After they left, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle. "At first I thought it depended on the number of points scored, but when I think about it, if that's the only thing, the Seeker's advantage is too great, and it's unfair to the other team members."

"Then let's do as Seamus said and vote," Kyle said casually.

"But in this case, students with good popularity will have an advantage." Professor McGonagall said, "and there are too many uncertainties in voting. It is very likely that students will not make much contribution to the competition but get a lot of votes.

"This is the first gold Quidditch medal at Hogwarts, and it may very well be the last. I think it's better to just look at the strength and not consider any other factors."

“I thought so too,” Kyle said.

"What do you think?"

"My idea?" Kyle continued walking forward. "I don't have any idea."

Professor McGonagall paused, "Didn't you think about anything when you made this suggestion?"

"No." Kyle nodded as a matter of course. "Didn't I tell you yesterday? I just thought of this idea on a whim. How could I have thought through everything in such a short time?"

"What should we do next?" Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly rose a lot. "Two hundred points is fine, but when the competition is over, what standards should we use to award the gold medals?"

"This is none of my business." Kyle spread his hands. "I'm just filling in for the class. I can just fool around for a while. You can't expect me to fill in for the whole school year.

"Dumbledore will surely be back by then, so let him worry about this."

Professor McGonagall felt her temple throbbing.

She had always thought that what Kyle said yesterday was just talk, but she didn't expect it to be true. He really made that decision without considering anything.

And Dumbledore was the same, he disappeared without a word and left all the school affairs to her.

I thought Kyle would be able to help a little, but he went even further and ended up doing more harm than good...

Why are these two people behaving like this?

Professor McGonagall couldn't help rubbing her forehead. She had to do the work of three people with one salary. Not to mention a professor, even a ghost shouldn't be exploited like this.

Looking at Kyle in front of her, her years of being a professor almost failed to suppress the anger in her heart.

She wants to hit someone.

More importantly, Kyle's identity is different from Dumbledore's, so it is easier to beat him.

This has nothing to do with strength.

Because Kyle is her student, and Kyle's parents are also her students, even if he is beaten, Kyle will not fight back.

This is just like Professor Marchbank scolding Dumbledore. Even if he is the headmaster and the greatest white wizard in the wizarding world, he can only stand there and be handed a cup of tea.

This is a rare opportunity, do you want to...

"Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore..."

A voice suddenly came from behind her, bringing her back to her senses.

"Miss Granger," said Professor McGonagall, "what are you doing here?"

"Getting ready for lunch," Hermione said. "I'm sorry, Professor, but I was wondering what you thought of that question I asked you earlier."

"I have no objection, you can give me the paper at any time." Professor McGonagall said, "But Miss Granger, I must remind you that Transfiguration Today has its own criteria for judging the quality of papers, and my opinion can only serve as a reference.

"And their cycle is very long. You can only get the Most Promising Newcomer Award when you are a student, but you are already in the seventh grade."

"It's okay, I just want to give it a try." Hermione said, "As long as I can pass, I will be satisfied. If I can't win the Most Promising Newcomer Award... Although it's a bit regrettable, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, the knowledge I accumulated last year is not enough."

"It's just a possibility, but not certain," said Professor McGonagall. "School has just started, so if everything goes well, there will be no problem."

"Hmm... Miss Granger, are you going to submit an article to Transfiguration Today?" Kyle asked from the side.

"Yes, Headmaster," said Hermione. "Everyone says it's the most authoritative Transfiguration magazine. I think I'll give it a try."

"The fact that you have this idea already makes you better than most students. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be helpful to you in the future."

"I thought so," said Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, come with me," she said to Hermione. "I have a few books here that may be helpful to you."

After saying that, she turned around and took Hermione to her office, saying to Kyle, "Pay attention to the time."

Kyle responded.

He knew that Professor McGonagall meant for him to pay attention to the timing of the Polyjuice Potion and not change back directly in public, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Kyle would never forget this.

After Professor McGonagall took Hermione away, he walked towards the hall alone.

Since I have to show up, I must find a place with many people. It is lunch time now, and there is no place with more people than the auditorium.

He didn't meet any students along the way until he reached the second floor, when he was blocked by someone.

It can't be said that she was blocked. She was probably squatting at the corner of the stairs, which happened to be the direction leading to the auditorium.

"Ms. Lovegood," Kyle said in the same tone as he would greet other students. "What are you looking at?"

"Hook glass."

"Where is it?" Kyle looked directly in front of her. There were only floor tiles and a group of small bugs attracted by the cookie crumbs.

"They were scared away. They were here just now." Luna stood up, the bottle stopper pendant on her ear swinging.

"Hello, Kyle." She greeted, "Why are you back to Hogwarts again?"

"You... must have seen it wrong. I am the principal." Kyle said.

"Really? Congratulations." Luna said happily.

"I...well, how did you figure that out?"

"Because I know you, is that strange?" Luna said with a smile.

She was still wearing the same strange accessories and fancy glasses as before.

Kyle had to admit that there were always some inexplicable people or things in the wizarding world, such as Tonks, the natural Metamorphmagus, and Luna.

Is she a natural Legilimency? No, not really.

Although his brain-blocking technique was not perfect, it was a small achievement. Even Dumbledore and Voldemort should not be able to see through his thoughts.

Cat-Cat is also a natural Legilimency, but its abilities are still suppressed by Occlumency.

As for Luna, she recognized her identity at a glance and without any doubt. This is not something that can be achieved by Legilimency.

After thinking about it, Kyle could only temporarily attribute it to an extraordinary intuition.

To put it simply... whoever I think you should be, then you must be that person. She doesn't believe what she sees with her own eyes, but only believes the first thought that comes to her mind.

This ability is even more unreasonable than a natural Legilimency because it is not affected by any external factors, no matter how well disguised it is.

…

"Kyle, how does it feel to be a principal?" Luna asked curiously, "Compared to being a student."

"It's just so-so, not that great, not as comfortable as a student." Kyle said, "But Luna, can you do me a favor?"

"Okay." Luna said without any hesitation, and even agreed without asking what the favor was.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Kyle said, "Look, you saw me at school, can you please not tell anyone else?"

"Why should I tell anyone?" Luna asked, looking up, as if Kyle had asked a stupid question.

"Hmm..." Kyle was speechless for a moment. He felt that he could not keep up with Luna's thoughts.

"Okay, I promised. Kyle didn't come to Hogwarts." Luna said calmly, "Well, goodbye, Headmaster Dumbledore... But I have to say, you don't look as good as before."

Luna continued to shake the bottle cork in her ear and skipped away from the second floor.

Kyle stood there and watched her run to the first floor, turn into the auditorium and disappear.

Magic is like this, it always brings people all kinds of unexpected surprises or shocks.

Kyle estimated that even if Tonks turned into someone who looked nothing like her, Luna would still be able to see through her.

Kyle felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, this person is Luna...of course, only Luna.

Although this extraordinary intuition is irrational and not based on magic, it would have no such effect if it happened to another person.

For example, when Hermione doubts something, the first thing she thinks of is not to believe it, but to think about whether it is logical. If the facts she sees are contrary to her intuition, she will subconsciously deny her intuition.

Take the case of impersonating Dumbledore.

The first time Luna saw herself, she was convinced that she was fake. Even though everyone and the facts told her that the person in front of her was Dumbledore, she didn't believe it.

If it were Hermione, Professor McGonagall would be able to clear him of suspicion with just one sentence.
