Kyle couldn't help but sigh that Dumbledore was really good to Snape and even considered his future situation.

At Hogwarts, although most people did not know the full process of Voldemort's escape, the few people who were closest to him at the time, such as Professor McGonagall and Amelia Bones, knew what happened.

I also know that it was Snape who rescued Voldemort.

If the Ministry of Magic had acted quickly enough, his name would probably have appeared on the door of a shop in Diagon Alley by now, and he would be wanted by the entire wizarding world.

Snape might not have cared about this wanted warrant before. At that time, he only wanted to kill Voldemort and didn't care about anything else.

Moreover, as a Potions master like him, he would definitely have no shortage of Polyjuice Potion. If he didn't want to, he would not be discovered even if he lived next to the Aurors.

But now it's different, Snape has to consider Connor's feelings.

In a way, he was the same as Sirius.

Sirius Black went from being indifferent to voluntarily confessing his guilt and being imprisoned in Azkaban to trying desperately to overturn the charges after escaping from prison just to be able to live with Harry.

Snape was facing the same situation, and he was even more troublesome than Sirius was.

Because no one knew that Sirius was Harry's godfather at that time, even if the truth was not revealed in the end, Harry could still live secretly in Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

But everyone knows that Connor is Snape's relative. In this case, she may be monitored by Aurors and may also receive strange looks from others.

Of course, if that was the case, Kyle would definitely not sit idly by, but that was not what Snape wanted.

Dumbledore made this arrangement so that Snape could return to the sunlight.

Although Kyle had never seen the contents of the bottle of memory, he guessed that it should be the scene seventeen years ago when Snape begged Dumbledore to protect Lily Evans.

Or maybe it was Snape trying to protect Harry after Voldemort's fall.

If Dumbledore wanted to use these to clear Snape's name, he might have done some artistic processing, selectively deleting some of the content to make the content in the memory brighter.

Dumbledore often does this kind of thing, just like he wanted to jump out a few days ago to attract other people's attention for Kyle.

According to Dumbledore's logic, he didn't care about his reputation anyway, so he just made the best use of things. At least it could make those who were not dead yet live more comfortably.

It's just very Dumbledore.

"How long are you going to talk about this!" Grindelwald's impatient voice came from the side.

"Don't you want me to reunite with Nurmengard? Come and beg me quickly, and maybe I can consider it."

"Oh..." Kyle felt a sharp pain in his teeth and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously.

For a moment he doubted whether the man before him was actually Grindelwald. Such terrible remarks would not even appear in Lockhart's book... but it might appear in the letters of his crazy admirers.

But before Kyle could express his opinion, he saw Grindelwald's cold eyes.

"Very good, very good..." Kyle shrank his neck and wisely did not say a word.

Grindelwald then withdrew his gaze.

A few minutes later, he and Dumbledore left the trunk without even saying hello or asking for the owner's opinion, just as they had entered.

But Kyle didn't have any objection and walked out with them.

He almost forgot before, there is something he must confirm.

There is still a forest outside the box, but I don’t know where it is exactly.

When Kyle came out, Grindelwald and Dumbledore were gone, which made him feel relieved.

The pressure Grindelwald put on him just now was too great. It was a completely different feeling from when he faced Voldemort.

This may have something to do with personality.

Kyle knew very well that Voldemort would definitely not get along with him in a friendly manner, so when he met him, he naturally thought of what would happen next and made preparations in advance.

There is definitely some tension, just not much.

But he didn't know Grindelwald, nor did he know his attitude.

Although Grindelwald's attitude was relatively friendly when he was in the box, and he did not have any obviously aggressive behavior, and even if he was occasionally angry, he only made some verbal noises, giving Dumbledore enough face, but Kyle did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, he was making people sweat just by standing there and doing nothing.

It's more comfortable like this now.

Kyle looked around and soon found the cat-leopard in a tree.

The poor leopard had fainted by now, with its six legs, head and tail all entangled in a circle of glue-like substance, unable to move.

But it's still alive.

Grindelwald was still honest. He only trapped the panther and did not kill it.

He had just lost a serpent monster. If the cat-leopard was also killed, he would probably not be able to sleep for several days.

Kyle hurried over and tried to get the "glue" off the cat leopard.

But he tried the cleansing spell and the dispelling spell, but to no avail.

"That is medieval binding magic. Ordinary spells are useless against it." Snape's voice came from behind.

He also came out and looked at Kyle with some complex expressions, "If you need me, I can..."

"All curses come to an end!"

But before he could finish his words, he saw Kyle insert the orange glowing magic wand into the ground.

A cluster of golden flames emerged from the center of the wand and covered the cat-leopard.

The cat-leopard was not harmed at all, not even its softest fur was burnt, but the thing that bound it gradually melted in the golden flames.

In just a few seconds, the cat-leopard turned over and jumped down from the tree, rubbing its big head on Kyle's arm and making a purring sound.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Kyle comforted him, "That man is Grindelwald. The only one who can successfully escape from him is probably the Phoenix."

Kyle scratched the leopard's chin again, then suddenly realized something and turned to look behind him.

"Teacher Snape... Sir, what did you just say?"

"No, I said nothing." Snape took a deep breath.

He almost forgot that Kyle would also be able to end all curses and didn't need his help at all.

"Okay," Kyle said.

The two just looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Kyle didn't know what Snape was thinking, but he really didn't know what to say. He couldn't just say congratulations.

It is possible to say that. After all, Voldemort is dead, and Snape has accomplished what he had always wanted to do and avenged Lily. Although he did not kill her personally, he was still involved.

But...during this process, Snape was almost deceived by Oren, and now saying congratulations seems ironic no matter how you listen to it.

Besides, Snape is probably still wanted now, so let's wait until he returns to Hogwarts and settle the matter first.

Speaking of being wanted... I just don't know what the bounty on Snape is.

Kyle thought subconsciously.

Sirius' bounty was 10,000 Galleons before, because he was the first dangerous fugitive to escape from Azkaban, which was the highest bounty ever issued by the Ministry of Magic.

This time, Snape directly rescued Voldemort, which was even more dangerous than jailbreaking, and the bounty would definitely not be lower than Sirius's.

Kyle looked at Snape thoughtfully.

Perhaps, they could cooperate, take the bounty first, and then prove their innocence, without wasting time on either.

Although Snape may not be short of Galleons, who would complain about having too many gold coins in his pocket? Ten thousand Galleons would be five thousand if divided between two people, and he hardly needs to do anything, which is equivalent to picking up Galleons for free.

However, when Kyle thought about the current financial situation of the Ministry of Magic, he changed his mind.

Forget it. The current Ministry of Magic may not even be able to come up with a thousand Galleons, let alone ten thousand... The little money left is used to hold funerals for the sacrificed Aurors and Striker, pay pensions, or maintain some operations.

Kyle didn't care. As long as he could get the Galleons, he would be willing to wait for a year or two.

But Snape may not be willing to wait a year or two before revealing the truth to the public.

“What a pity.”

Seeing Kyle suddenly start sighing as if he had lost a Galleon, Snape always felt that something was wrong.

He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Mr. Snape...if you don't mind me calling you that." Kyle was the first to break the silence and said, "You were expelled from Hogwarts before I came here."

"Really...?" Snape said, his expression a little gloomy.

He always thought that he didn't care about identities like Hogwarts professor or Slytherin Headmaster.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

When Snape heard that he was fired, he still felt dazed.

"Of course, this is only temporary." Kyle continued, "After Professor McGonagall finishes reading the memory... maybe she will withdraw the expulsion notice... then you will still be a professor..."

I don't know why, but Kyle always feels awkward or strange when he speaks.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there had always been a lot of sniping and fighting between him and Snape, and they had never spoken so calmly...

No wonder it feels strange.

Kyle rubbed his arms, opened the box and let the cat in, while trying to make his tone sound normal.

"I'm going back to Hogwarts."

"Now?" Snape frowned. "Dumbledore is still here. Are you going back just like that?"

"What else?" Kyle spread his hands, "Could Professor Dumbledore die again?"

This may sound a bit rude, but it is also true. Although Dumbledore is not dead yet, he is not alive either.

How could he be hit by magic when he couldn't even hold the wand?

"Besides," Kyle continued, "if you are only worried about Professor Dumbledore, believe me, there is no need to worry. He is safer now than ever before.

"Instead of worrying about him, you should think about how to get into the headmaster's office and get Dumbledore's memories."

Kyle closed the box and yelled, "Fox!"

The fiery red phoenix flew quickly from a distance and landed skillfully on Kyle's shoulder.

"Look, even Fawkes knows that there is no need to protect Dumbledore at this time." Kyle looked at the silent Snape, "Want to come together? I can let Fawkes take you along the way, but you have to take out at least three herbs as tickets later."

"ticket?"

"This is necessary. After all, not everyone is qualified to be Apparated by the Phoenix. This is a privilege only for Professor Dumbledore."

"No, thanks." Snape shook his head and rejected Kyle's suggestion.

It’s not that he was reluctant to part with the three herbs, he just didn’t want to have any further contact with Kyle.

To be honest, the thing that was most abundant in his private storage room was herbs, common, rare, banned...whatever he wanted, he had.

Thinking of this, Snape suddenly felt a little dazed, and didn't know whether his private storage room was still there.

It should have been moved away. After all, he has become a Death Eater, so the school will naturally not keep his things anymore.

"I think it's better for us to go together." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Now is the time when Hogwarts is on the most strict alert. Almost everyone, including Peeves, has a bottle of Apparition Potion. It's difficult for you to get to the headmaster's office, but I can help you."

"I don't think you can get me past Minerva's inspection." Snape shook his head.

He knew his colleague, the serious Professor McGonagall, and she would never let any suspicious person enter Hogwarts.

Even if Kyle could find a reason to lure her away, there were still Filius and Pomona.

"Take you to the principal's office? I don't think I need to do that." Kyle blinked and said, "It's just taking a bottle of memory. There's no rule that it will only work if you go and get it in person. Why can't I go to the principal's office?"

“…”

Snape suddenly stopped talking.

Yes, his purpose was just to hand over the memory containing the truth to Minerva, not to break into the principal's office, so he could indeed let Kyle do it.

Although he didn't want to do this...

In Snape's mind, as long as there was any other way to accomplish the task, no matter how troublesome it was, he didn't want to ask Kyle for help.

"Kanna is waiting for you too." Kyle continued, "She has always believed in you. Even if it's just because of an unproven idea, she is willing to give you something that can save her life.

"Now that the truth is out, you should explain to her what happened."

"good……"

This time Snape didn't hesitate and walked to Kyle's side. "I'll go back with you, but I have only one request."

"you say."

"I would never grab your arm."

“…”

Kyle took a deep breath and blurted out, "You don't need to remind me of this, and I won't let you catch me."

The thought of Snape grabbing his arm made Kyle feel more willing to fight Voldemort again.

"That's good." Snape walked to Kyle and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just relax and stand still, that's it," said Kyle.

"But I must remind you that this process may not be as comfortable as you imagined, but it's all normal, don't get too excited."

"I will, you don't need to worry." Snape said lightly.

Isn't it just Apparition?

It's not like he hasn't used it before, does he need a special reminder? Kyle looked at Snape's indifferent expression, then at Fawkes, his mouth corners gradually raised, then quickly lowered, pretending nothing had happened, and raised his head and said, "Fawkes, please take the two of us back to Hogwarts."

The phoenix spread its wings and grasped Snape's shoulders, while extending its tail towards Kyle.

Kyle reached out and grabbed it.

The next second, the two disappeared into the forest.

…

When they appeared again, they were already on the grounds beside the Black Lake at Hogwarts.

Kyle specifically assigned this place to Fox to ensure...

"Ugh..." An uncontrollable vomiting sound came from the side.

That was it... to ensure Snape didn't soil the castle grounds.

Kyle rubbed his temple. From the forest of Austria to Hogwarts, it spanned thousands of miles. Such a long distance was a bit uncomfortable even for Kyle who had experienced it once, let alone Snape who was carried away by the Phoenix for the first time.

The Phoenix will punish equally anyone who underestimates Apparition.

He was now lying on the ground, trying hard to stand up, but unlike his thoughts, his limbs seemed to have just been installed and each had its own thoughts.

This also made it impossible for Snape to stand up in a short period of time. He could only lie there and stretch his head towards the Black Lake with difficulty.

“Crack!”
