Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 233 The Second Attack

After entering Station Nine and Three Quarters, the two of Kyle did not choose to continue to act together, but went to their respective friends.

Hermione first went to say hello to Harry, and then went to Neville because she didn't want to share the same carriage with Ron.

Although the kid Neville looked stupid, he knew clearly in his heart who was his own and who was the enemy.

In the last semester, Hermione helped him with his homework and helped him out when he was being bullied, so this little fat man has turned Hermione into his friend category.

Kyle would never interfere with Hermione's social life, so he didn't pay attention to who the girl went to first, but walked directly to the school manager's box at the front of the express.

"Senior, do you want to sit with us?"

It was Draco who sent the invitation.

Kyle thought that there was no clear goal anyway, so he simply sat in Malfoy's box.

In addition to Draco, Pansy and Zabini were also in the box, besides Goyle and Crabbe.

When the two chubby guys saw Kyle walking in, they stood up and gave up their seats very actively.

"Senior, Draco, let's talk, let's find a place to eat."

Draco, the kid, waved his hand lazily:
"Go ahead, think about coming back and changing clothes for a while."

Speaking of it, although outsiders think that Gower and Crabbe are just Draco's little followers.

And sometimes Draco's attitude towards the two of them was indeed too arrogant.

But Kyle could see that Draco, a tsundere brat, really regarded the two fat guys as friends.

Don't mention the trivial matter of telling them to go back to the box before getting out of the car just now.

At the end of last semester, Kyle witnessed Draco urging the two brats to review.

Every time he was reviewing, Draco, who always paid attention to his own image, would be furious with those two little fat guys.

But on the second day, this brat would still impatiently pull the two little fat guys to review.

If it weren't for Draco, maybe those two guys would definitely be one of the few repeaters in Slytherin.

After Kyle sat down, the atmosphere in the box became stiff.

Obviously several people will not continue the previous topic, so Kel simply took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"Zabini, how have you been these few days, have you returned to France?"

Zabini has short hair, very clean and neat.

However, coupled with this kid's unruly face, he appeared to be so fierce, but this was just the appearance.

As far as Kyle knows, Zabini is extraordinarily careful and gentle with his friends.

At least as far as Draco and Pansy were concerned, it was the brat who was taking care of the other two.

Hearing Kyle's question, Zabini first smiled gently, and then replied:
"I went back to France on the day of the holiday. My mother has always lived alone. I just took this opportunity to go back and stay with her for a few days. Senior, how did you spend these few days?"

This question made Kyle laugh secretly in his heart.

The brat Zabini is not a simple guy either.

Obviously, he didn't know where he heard about Kyle's extraordinary life experience, so he deliberately used these words to test it out.

Although his face was calm, his eyes couldn't help but look at Kyle furtively, obviously looking forward to Kyle's answer.

Not only Zabini, but also Panxi who was on the side blinked his big eyes and looked at him excitedly.

But according to Kyle's understanding, this girl didn't want to find out about Kyle, she was just gossip.

Of the three, only Draco looked a little unnatural.

Obviously his father had told him about Kyle's background, but he didn't know if he had told him about the diary.

Looking at the anticipation on the faces of several people, Kyle didn't hold back.

Unlike in the past, now he is fully prepared and it is time to step up to the front:

"It seems that you two little ghosts are very curious. Since you want to know so much, why don't you go to the old house with me at night to have a look."

"Can I visit your old home? It would be fantastic!"

"Thank you, senior!"

The two little guys cheered out at the same time, with joyful expressions on their faces.

But soon, they realized something was wrong:

"Why do you say the two of us are curious?"

Zabini and Pansy looked at each other, and then they all looked at Draco in surprise:
"You already know the origin of the senior?!"

The expressions of the two little devils are very interesting, especially Pan Xi, who pouted angrily, and his face was full of unhappiness.

"Of course I didn't know about it a long time ago." Malfoy, the brat, was a little red-faced, and he seemed a little guilty, but he stuck his neck and refused to bow his head even if he took a step.

But fortunately, the other two are his friends, so Draco hesitated for a moment, and then explained bluntly:

"I only recently found out about the senior's family, and this is the senior's private matter, so of course I can't announce it casually!"

"Hmph, then you are also an uninteresting guy!"

For Drake's explanation, Zabini just smiled in relief, and didn't continue to say anything. It was also from Slytherin, and he understood Drake's choice very well.

Panxi could also understand the reason for doing this, so although she was not very happy, she just murmured coquettishly and chose to pass by gently.

Kyle looked very satisfied as he watched the interaction of the three little guys.

All three of them had good natures, and were very intelligent.

You only need to give them enough experience, maybe within ten years, they can become his right-hand man.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can get the allegiance of these little devils.

Time passed quickly amidst the fights of several people, and before they knew it, the sun had already set below the horizon, which meant that they were not far from Hogwarts.

At this time, the radio had already sounded in the train, reminding the students to change their school uniforms.

Without waiting too long, as the speed slowed down a little bit, the Hogwarts Express had already entered the school platform.

Because they were not freshmen, all the students were arranged to fly to the castle in a carriage this time.

From a distance, I saw Mag standing at the gate.

Although she has become the principal, she is still used to welcoming the students.

Accompanying her were still the two Ministry of Magic dementors.

It seemed that the Ministry of Magic had made up their minds. As long as Sirius was not caught, these dementors would never be recalled by them.

After all, in addition to guarding the students, these guys are also the eyes of the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic regularly arranges wizards who are proficient in the language of dementors to come to the school to listen to their reports.

With Fudge's character, of course, he would not easily withdraw these nails that he had finally inserted into Hogwarts.

In order to welcome the return of the students, the school specially prepared a grand dinner, which is usually only done at the beginning of the term and the end of the term.

The unusual dinner was accompanied by an unusual atmosphere in the whole school.

Not all students have chosen to return to school on time.

Some of the small animals were kept at home by their parents, and they wanted to wait and see for a while to confirm that the school was really safe before they sent their children back.

Some parents even chose to transfer schools for their children decisively.

Some of these parents made extreme choices impulsively, and they lost confidence in the school.

Another part is to really understand the current situation of the magic circle.

The turmoil has come again, and obviously Hogwarts, where Dumbledore is, is the center of the turmoil, so they choose to keep the children away from this place of right and wrong.

Ravenclaw was quite normal, and the long table seemed very quiet.

As usual, the clever little eagle chose to sit on the sidelines.

The long Hufflepuff table was filled with unease, and the little badgers were obviously still in a state of panic.

The little ones knew little, thought little, and had been terrified by the previous attack.

But now that they can go back to school, it shows their loyalty to Hogwarts.

The Slytherin table was the calmest.

This peace is not only because the little snakes want to maintain their image, but also because they blindly believe that their heirs will not attack them.

The long table in Gryffindor is the most abnormal.

Whether it's a banquet or an ordinary lunch or dinner, their long table should be the most noisy and noisy.

But today, the little lions sitting here are too quiet, because they are completely out of playful mood.

And not just because of previous attacks.

It was because when they sat down, they were surprised to find that many familiar classmates did not return to school on time as they had guessed.

Among the students who disappeared were the lion cub who was attacked before, students from the Muggle world, and even several generations of Gryffindors.

Such a situation made the already demoralized Gryffindor even worse.

Because there are more lion cubs who choose not to go back to school than the Hufflepuffs they have always looked down upon.

However, this depression did not last long, because a commotion suddenly began to spread on the long table in Gryffindor.

The source of the commotion came from Harry and Hermione, and the red-haired Weasleys.

When Kyle looked over, these guys were anxiously asking the students around them something, and the expressions on their faces became more and more excited.

At the beginning, they paid attention to their own volume, trying to keep their voices down as much as possible so as not to affect others.

But soon, their anxiety made them forget to control their voices, and as the discussions on the long table of the lions became louder, their voices became higher and higher.

The commotion didn't stop at the Gryffindor table, but soon spread to Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and finally until the Slytherins on the other side knew what was going on.

Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley, the two lion cubs are gone!
The professor on the rostrum soon learned of the news, so before the dinner started, Professor McGonagall announced the end of the dinner with a dark face:
"Sounds loud!"

"All students, please come down safely!"

"Everyone, all be quiet!"

After using her loud voice, Professor McGonagall emphasized it two or three times before finally stopping the commotion in the auditorium, but unfortunately, she couldn't stop the panic of the students.

Fear was visible on the faces of the students. The disappearance of the two students suddenly reminded them of the fear of the acromant attack and the fear of the heir's attack. At this time, these negative emotions burst out all at once.

Originally, they still believed in the school, so they obeyed the school's arrangement and returned here.

But what happened now has completely shaken them.

It seemed that the eyes of the professors were full of doubts.

They didn't know if these professors on the rostrum could really guarantee their own safety, and there were even some students who sobbed softly.

Fear and crying are contagious.

Mag, who was standing in front, saw the students becoming more and more vulnerable. In order to prevent these students from completely collapsing, she quickly began to appease them:

"Students, don't be afraid. Please trust the professors in the school. We have the ability to guarantee the safety of the students. We will bring Ginny and Ron back to you safely, and I assure you that this time we will thoroughly find out who is behind the scenes!"

In the end, Mag's tone had become tough and murderous.

Although her usual image is also very rigid and severe, the students have never felt that she is as scary as she is now.

But Mag's murderous look unexpectedly calmed the hearts of the students, and finally made them calm down a bit.

Seeing that the students' mood had improved, McGonagall and Dumbledore made eye contact, and then stood aside, letting Dumbledore take charge of the overall situation.

"Severus, Felius, and Minerva, let's investigate the secret room first to see if the students will be there."

"Aurora, please go to the Ministry of Magic immediately to seek Auror's support. I need a lot of people to search the school."

"The rest of the professors, please stay where you are to ensure the safety of the students. If there is anything unusual, please notify me immediately."

Having said that, Dumbledore paused with an ugly face, and then continued:

"Pomona, after the Ministry of Magic's support arrives, please organize the students to evacuate here. I'm afraid we will have to close the school again."

Dumbledore's words made the faces of several other professors turn ashen, but no one refuted his arrangement.

Originally, they thought that after the last attack, the heir would definitely hide and try to cover up his whereabouts to ensure his safety.

But unexpectedly, he would attack again frantically. Such a choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

After arranging the evacuation of the students, Dumbledore looked at the students.

I saw that he barely controlled his expression, not to let the look on his face look too angry, and forced himself to comfort the little animals:

"Students, please stay where you are quietly. There are enough professors left to ensure your safety. Just like what Professor McGonagall said, please believe that the professors at the school can guarantee your safety, and we will definitely bring back Ron and Ginny smoothly."
