Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 79 Dumbledore Arrives
Harry remained silent and did not speak. Mrs. Figg looked nervous, excited, and relieved.

"Come in, Harry."

"You are better than I thought. I thought you would find me after you enrolled, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Mrs. Figg's voice was tired, but she had a relaxed smile on her face.

"When Dumbledore found me and told me that he needed someone, a... Squib, he asked me to take care of you and protect you in the Muggle world,

He told me at the time that he only needed to take care of you for three years, and then he would arrange for someone else to take over. "

"It's clearly agreed to be three years, three years after three years, three years after three years, almost 12 years, Harry."

Mrs. Figg's voice was almost a sigh, but it still reached Harry's ears clearly.

This made Harry who walked in the door dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. The original question was spun around his mouth again and again, but he couldn't say it.

After closing the door and ignoring Harry's embarrassment, Mrs. Figg naturally brought him a plate of delicious cookies.

"Try it, Harry, this is the taste you have always liked. In fact, it's good if you find out. I can take care of you more easily, and I don't have to work so hard to hide it anymore."

"I'm still worrying these days, how can I hide myself after you know more and more about the magic world."

Mrs. Figg was in a good mood, and Harry felt as if he had never seen her smile so happily.

The meeting with Mrs. Figg went surprisingly well, somewhat beyond Harry's expectations.

Originally, on the way here, he had already imagined a big drama about young wits fighting the watcher Granny Fei, but he didn't expect it to be all in vain.

This made Harry somewhat at a loss for what to say, but thinking about the urgent situation outside, Harry had to interrupt her excitement.

Swallowing, he said dryly, "Mrs. Figg, can you contact Professor Dumbledore now?"

Mrs. Figg was taken aback by Harry's question, and after seeing Harry's nervous look just now, and the wand he had been holding tightly, his expression suddenly became serious:
"What's the matter, Harry, what's the matter?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and quickly closed the curtain, and hid behind the curtain and looked out secretly. Seeing Harry's surprised expression, he explained:

"Dumbledore told me that the magic world is not peaceful now, let me observe whether your surroundings are safe at any time."

Harry's expression was a bit strange, he was not quite able to adapt to Mrs. Figg's change: "Yes, there seems to be someone watching me around..."

Fortunately, Mrs. Figg didn't pay attention to his attitude, she just thought it was the nervousness of young people when they faced danger.

In fact, the old lady's psychology is not as relaxed as her face, after all, she is just a squib.

If she really faced the dark wizard, she would have no power to resist.

"found it!"

Mrs. Figg groped on the kitchen mantel for a while, and took out an old box.

The top of the box was filthy, and Harry would never have wanted to touch him if he hadn't known in advance what was hidden inside.

"This is Floo powder," the old woman explained. "We're going to try our luck. If Professor Dumbledore is in the office, then we can contact him directly."

After speaking, he reached out and took out a handful of shiny powder from the broken box, walked to the stove and sprinkled the powder on the flames.

With a loud bang, the flames turned emerald green and burned higher and higher, gradually rising higher than Mrs. Figg.

Then Harry saw a horrifying scene, which almost made him cry out: Mrs. Figg stuck her head into the fiercely burning flames!
Fortunately, right after that, Harry heard her shout angrily: "Professor Dumbledore, are you here? You need to come here. There is something wrong here!"

After speaking, Mrs. Figg stood up, and Harry was relieved that there was no burn mark on her head.

As if sensing Mrs. Fig's anxious mood, her three kittens all meowed and surrounded her, following her feet.

He looked at Harry with big eyes, as if he was blaming him for bringing danger to his master.

This thought made Harry a little ashamed. Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed the one who brought Mrs. Figg into danger.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't keep them waiting too long. With a bang, Dumbledore appeared in the living room, and Harry recognized it as Apparition.

He heard from Hermione that as long as the wizard has been to a place and the wizard has enough magic power, he can teleport there.

This made Harry's heart ache, and Professor Dumbledore really knew about it.

But he knew that now was not the time to talk about this, endured the sadness in his heart, and quickly explained the current situation to Dumbledore:

"Professor, when I called Hermione today, I found that all my letters were intercepted, whether they were sent by me or sent to me, they disappeared."

"Senior Kyle happened to be at Hermione's house at the time. He judged that I was in danger and might be targeted by a dark wizard, so he asked me to ask Mrs. Figg for help."

After Harry finished speaking in a hurry, he thought that Professor Dumbledore would immediately use some magic he had never seen before to locate the hidden dark wizard.

But Dumbledore's reaction was very calm, and he didn't immediately deal with the abnormality Harry said, but thought naturally:

"Kyle? What a smart kid."

Harry couldn't tell whether it was praising Kyle for recognizing danger around him, or referring to Kyle's guess of Mrs. Figg's existence.

This made him dare not interrupt easily, and could only stand aside at a loss.

Fortunately, Harry's embarrassment did not last long, and Dumbledore quickly recovered and continued to ask:
"Harry, what else did Kyle tell you?"

"What else?" Harry scratched his head, looking uneasy: "Senior Kyle also told me that I was in danger, and I could use magic quickly, so that I could attract the people from the Ministry of Magic, and...and...and told me not to panic, and put on my wand, and...then there seemed to be nothing else...Is there any problem, Professor Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore looked very strange at this time, his eyes under the glasses seemed a little hollow, as if he was thinking or remembering something.

Harry was also puzzled by the expression on his face, which he had never seen from a kind professor.

Sometimes it is serious and cold, and sometimes it is gratified and relieved. It is extremely complicated.

It made Harry feel like he was telling Dumbledore not that there were Dark wizards around, but that Voldemort was dead, but that the Earth was about to explode.

The complex expression on Dumbledore's face didn't stay for long, and he quickly adjusted, asking Harry in an ethereal voice:

"Kyle is such a smart kid!"

"Harry, have you ever thought that you can summon the staff of the Ministry of Magic just by using a few spells in the room.

But why did Kyle still send you to Mrs. Figg just to thwart my plan? "

Dumbledore's words made Harry change color a little. In fact, Harry thought of Kyle's purpose when Mrs. Figg confessed.

But then, Dumbledore's next question made him doubt his IQ:

"Kyle clearly knows that doing this will arouse my dissatisfaction, so why does he still do this, and what is his purpose?"

Meanwhile, Hermione asked the same question:

"Senior Kyle, why did you have to ask Harry to find that Mrs. Figg?
If you directly exposed Principal Dumbledore's arrangement in this way, won't it attract his hostility? "
