Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 84 The Mind Beneath the Sunshine Appearance

Dong dong dong

"Harry, open the door for me."

Harry, who was fidgeting on the sofa waiting for the news, quickly ran over and opened the door.

The originally expectant eyes became dim when they saw Kingsley's helpless face.

"The action failed, Professor." After entering the door, Kingsley reported listlessly without waiting for Dumbledore to ask:
"Sirius attacked the wizard maintaining the magic circle in the rear, and then Apparated away."

"You said he attacked the wizard who maintained the magic circle?"

"Yes, professor, those wizards are at the end, and that's the safest place, so I didn't arrange anyone to guard them."

"But it's not right, Kingsley, why did he attack that wizard when he could have just run away?"

Kingsley was stunned by Dumbledore's question.

"No, he still has accomplices! His accomplices can only escape after cracking the magic circle."

Kingsley reacted quickly, and turned around to notify the other Aurors.

"Calm down, Kingsley, even if there is an accomplice, they will run away by now.

I have another idea, tell your colleagues to check that the attacked wizard's wand is still there. "

Dumbledore's words made Kingsley a little depressed, but he still notified the Aurors who stayed behind with the Patronus Charm.

Soon, the Patronus Charm brought back the news Dumbledore wanted: "The wand is missing, Kingsley."

Kingsley and Harry who heard the news all looked at Dumbledore: "Professor, what does this mean?"

Dumbledore thought for a while, then said slowly: "This at least shows that Voldemort and Sirius haven't met yet, and they just happened to choose Harry as their target."

"It seems that Voldemort got the support of a certain nobleman, and then arranged for elves to perform magical rituals."

"And Sirius, still alone, couldn't even find a second-hand wand."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two of them to think about what this meant, they continued, "Okay, Kingsley, there should be no danger here for Harry. You take the Aurors to check again. If there are no other clues, just close the team and leave a team around to protect Harry."

"And Harry, try to stay at your aunt's house during the holidays and don't go out." He said, and gave Harry a meaningful look: "Love is a powerful magic, and your mother left a magic on you that Voldemort could not decipher by virtue of her love for you.

As long as you regard your aunt as a relative, Voldemort can't do anything to you directly! "

You should be thankful that Voldemort didn't have time to hit you in the first year, so he didn't know what your mother did.

In the future, Lily's love for you will be your powerful trump card against him! "

"Okay, Kingsley, go do your work. I'm going back to school too, and I have too much work to deal with."

"See you at the beginning of term, Harry."

After speaking, ignoring Harry's questioning face, he disapparated and left the room.

After Kingsley said goodbye to Harry, he walked out of the room, leaving a confused Harry alone at Mrs. Figg's house.

"Mother……"

Harry murmured, thinking of that gentle face he had seen in the album Hagrid had given him.

He knew many things and wanted to find out the truth, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to do anything, he could only wait passively, acting like a little fool.

-------------------

The farce of Privet Drive is over, but here at Islington Five and Ten Five, Kyle hasn't picked up his mood yet.

Hermione sat on the sofa with a naughty face, pretending to watch TV, and glanced at Kyle from time to time.

I fully interpret what it means to cooperate with your performance and I turn a blind eye.

Kyle sat on the sofa with a helpless face, and the little witch made such a fuss, completely interrupting his train of thought.

The right turn that was originally a sure thing, but now I don't know how to speak.

After a long time, the little witch spoke first: "Senior Kyle, this is why you came to my house today~"

Kyle was taken aback by Hermione's words, then shook his head and smiled wryly, it was he who underestimated the little girl.

But Kyle didn't take it seriously, the smarter Hermione was, the more he proved that his choice was correct.

"Hermione, when did you find out?" Kyle asked curiously.

"When you said that the purpose of coming to my house was to comfort me, so that I would not be angry with Harry and the others, I knew you were lying. If you want to comfort me, you can do it at school or on the train. Why do you have to come to my house?"

The little witch's tone was unhurried, but with a hint of ridicule.

Kyle's image in front of her has always been strong and wise, and Hermione was very happy to be able to win back in front of him this time.

Kyle, who knew where he was showing his feet, was very helpless, so he could only get straight to the point and say:

"Okay, I still underestimated you, and now you have exposed it all, can you tell me, do you want to learn something else from me?"

Hermione, who was so relaxed, was not distracted by Kyle, although she did not dislike Kyle, and believed that Kyle did not intend to use any conspiracy on her.

But the current situation is chaotic, which makes her have to be extremely careful about every decision she makes.

"Senior Kyle, let's talk about what you want to do. You are very powerful, and no one can understand what you want to do. This makes many people a little afraid of you."

"What am I going to do? Hermione, no matter what people say, what do you think my goal is?"

Kyle's question made Hermione a little silent, no longer relaxed and mischievous just now.

Although in school, Hermione was always strong, with a strong look, even if she was rejected by everyone, she never gave up.

But she is just an 11-year-old girl after all.

The secrets of the magic world make her uneasy,

The complexity hidden under Dumbledore's amiable appearance made her at a loss,

The collision between the two camps of Slytherin and Gryffindor terrified her even more.

Now that Voldemort has made a comeback, the wizarding world seems to be shrouded in the shadow of war again, and she, who is in the center of the vortex, has become less safe.

What Kyle said seemed like an ordinary request, but Hermione couldn't see what was hidden behind it.

She didn't know exactly what Kyle's position was, supporting Voldemort?Or those Slytherin neutrals?

Even the conversation between Kyle and Dumbledore today made Hermione vaguely feel that the two seemed to have some tacit understanding that she didn't understand.

In the end, Hermione didn't say anything, just kept silent.

Looking at the little witch's expression, Kyle understood Hermione's concerns: "Hermione, don't think too much, I can only tell you that Voldemort and I are not on the same path."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "It's not the same as Dumbledore..."

"And you don't need to think about it. After all, the moment you stood by Harry's side, you were already on Dumbledore's battleship. As long as you don't intend to abandon Harry, you can't avoid it."

These words were so cruel that the little witch's face turned pale.

"My invitation is just a simple invitation to study. I am still too weak to represent any power."

"As for the future, who knows what will happen?"

After speaking, Kyle looked at Hermione quietly, waiting for her answer.
