Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 825: Acquaintance, Percy returns

　　Silent people, a profession that sounds serious and conscientious just by the name. In Kyle's opinion, they should be meticulous and not talkative when they can do things.

For example, Diana was much more strict when she was in the Department of Mysteries than at home.

 But in front of him, Kyle always felt that she was laughing at him... It was as if he saw Fred and George being stupid, and instead of helping, he was gloating about their misfortune.

 He rubbed his forehead.

How should I put it, this silent person is a bit too lively and not as serious as she thought.

But Kyle didn’t care so much about whether it was serious or not. He took two steps forward and said, "I have something to ask for..."

"Can."

 Before he finished speaking, the silent man nodded.

 “What?” Kyle was stunned for a moment.

 “Aren’t you here to ask me to help deliver a message? To Diana.” The silent man said.

"You know?" Kyle asked doubtfully, "Did you hear our previous conversation?"

"No, and there is no need." The silent man shook his head, "Normally, you should be in Hogwarts at this time, but now you are in the Department of Mysteries. In addition to looking for Diana, there are also Any other purpose?”

"It seems...wait, how did you know I was at Hogwarts." Kyle blurted out, but immediately closed his mouth.

He pretended to be Dumbledore in school, and this must not be known to anyone else, so his visit to Hogwarts was also kept strictly confidential. Except for him and a few professors, it was impossible for anyone else to know. right.

He was confused just now, so he admitted it straight away.

Kyle shook his head, trying to wake himself up.

"Are you confused?" The Silent Man glanced at him, "Or do you think that Albus's use of the time turner can be hidden from the Department of Mysteries?

“That’s a hundred years, such a huge time span, even the fog in the Time Recall Hall is about to spread. If the Department of Mysteries doesn’t notice anything, it might as well just close the door.”

 “Um…” Kyle was speechless for a moment.

 He ​​almost forgot that the Department of Mysteries deals with ethereal things like time and space. As long as someone uses a time turner, they will definitely know about it.

"Godric's Hollow, the living room of Ms. Bathilda Bagshot's house, that's right." The Silent Man continued: "After you used the time turner, we immediately went there to investigate, although there were many people nearby at the time. Yes, but as long as you use the snack, you can infer that you are the only one involved in this matter.”

"Why." Kyle asked, "Why just me."

"Because of the phoenix." The silent man explained patiently, "The phoenix is ​​a very unique magical animal. Not everyone is close to it. Since you are carrying it, it is enough to explain everything. Are there any questions?"

 “So you’ve been following me since then?” he asked.

"Not really, tracking is too ugly." The silent man said, "After all, you are also Diana's family. We just paid close attention to your movements and found that you went to King's Cross on September 1st. The station sends someone to school...that Harry Potter.

“But you were not among the people who came back, so it can be inferred that you also took the train to Hogwarts.”

 “Can’t I just use Apparition to leave in advance?” Kyle said.

 Then he saw the silent man looking at him with a strange look.

 “Okay, I said something stupid.” Kyle was a little embarrassed.

The Department of Magical Transport can detect traces of Apparition. If the Department of Mysteries has been observing them, they must have been fully prepared in advance.

"It doesn't matter, it's understandable, and you don't have to worry about it." The silent man said with a smile... he should be laughing.

"I don't need to tell you what happened after that." She continued: "You went to Hogwarts, and then the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, appeared at the opening party."

“No need.” Kyle shook his head, “So, you also know the purpose of my coming to the Department of Mysteries this time, right?

“If you have been observing me, you must also know that I went to France and what I experienced there.”

"Well... I really don't know." The silent man emphasized: "I must repeat that we are not following you, we are just guessing based on your itinerary and what happened next. Diana knows you too well. This It’s not difficult for us.”

Diane?

Kyle twitched his lips.

If it were his mother, then all this would really make sense.

“And the Beauxbatons you went to, it’s difficult even for us to get in there, so naturally we don’t know what you went through there.”

"But..." She changed her tone, "According to Diana's guess, you came to the Department of Mysteries because you noticed that Albus Dumbledore was trapped in the past and wanted to rescue him."

"Yes." Kyle nodded and admitted, "I want to know what I should do."

"It's best not to do anything." The Silent Man said, "As long as you leave this matter to others, you will naturally not have troubles. I think Minerva McGonagall is good. She is capable and thoughtful. Totally bringing Albus Dumbledore back from the past."

"I know, but I have a feeling I'm going to do it," Kyle said.

"Is that so?" The silent man paused, "Then don't do anything, just let nature take its course."

"Do nothing." Kyle thought for a moment, "Is this what my mother meant?"

"The first thing is." The silent man said, "You should understand that she will definitely not agree to your use of the time turner. I can help you pass on the message, but the answers you get will most likely be the same."

"Thank you, no need." Kyle shook his head, turned around and was about to leave.

 But he soon stopped, turned around and asked, "Do we know each other?"

 “So we know each other,” the other party said.

"Who are you?"

This time the silent man didn't speak, he just reached out and opened the black door that suddenly appeared.

　　Until she walked in, she said lightly: "You will know, but not now."

 The door closed, merged with the wall, and disappeared in front of Kyle again.

 He tried shouting twice, but there was no response.

 “What a strange man.” Kyle muttered under his breath.

He walked up the elevator and returned to the bustling main hall again, thinking about what the silent man had just said, and trying to compare the image of the silent man with the acquaintances in his memory.

 But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't determine who the other party was. No one in his memory could match him.

Kyle thought this as he walked through the bustling main hall and came to the fireplace corridor.

 He should not have stayed on the ninth floor for more than an hour. It would be impossible for Chris to come back from the Hesidian Islands during this time.

 So Kyle didn’t go looking for him again, and directly used the fireplace to return to the Burrow.

 …

“Fred, George, please be quiet.”

“Charlie, please help me get a soft cushion. This chair is too hard.”

“Mum, you’ve already put two cushions in, why can’t you keep them at St. Mungo’s?”

“Yeah, maybe the big-headed boy can write a wonderful report on the softness and hardness of the hospital beds there.”

“Better than the report from the bottom of the crucible.”

 “You are delaying his future...”

 …

 There was a lot of noise and noise coming from the burrow.

　　When Kyle jumped out of the fireplace, everyone subconsciously looked over. "Sorry to disturb you...Oh, Percy, when did you come back." Kyle said in surprise, looking at the thin figure sitting in the middle.

Percy Weasley, when the Death Eaters attacked the Ministry of Magic, he was also affected and was sent to St. Mungo's because he suffered the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse.

 Didn’t expect to be discharged from the hospital so soon?

"Just now, my mother picked me up half an hour ago." Percy's voice was a little weak.

"Why don't you stay a few more days." Kyle walked over and found that Percy's face was almost still pale and his red hair was dull.

“I know the dean there, you can rest in peace.”

"There's no way to recuperate in a place like that." Percy shook his head. "There were too many people. Next to me was a man who was possessed by strange black magic. He thought he was a snake from time to time every day and crawled around the room. Last night he even broke away from the therapist, climbed on top of me and tried to swallow me."

Percy shuddered unconsciously when he thought of this.

Fred and George were laughing so hard next to them.

Fred laughed with tears in his eyes, "That guy started swallowing Percy's feet."

“I dare say he will never dare to eat randomly again.” George said, holding on to the table.

"Can you two be quiet?" Mrs. Weasley tried her best to keep a straight face, but she seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer.

"Anyway, we have to thank that man," she said. "Thanks to him, Percy woke up so quickly."

"I bet Percy wouldn't want to thank him," said Fred, raising an eyebrow.

Percy really didn’t want to either.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a person trying to eat his own legs. This incident would almost leave a lifelong psychological shadow on him... greater than the shadows of the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse combined.

It is precisely because of this that Percy hurriedly told Bill who was guarding the ward to ask Mrs. Weasley to take him home.

"If that's the case, how about I contact Dean Sacia and change Percy's ward?" Kyle said, "St. Mungo's is the professional in treating the Unforgivable Curse."

 “Thank you for your offer, Kyle, but no thanks.”

At this time, Mrs. Weasley also came over and placed a large plate of sweets on the table.

I had already asked the healers when I went to pick him up. They said that Percy had not been under the Unforgivable Curse for a long time and that he would be fine as soon as he woke up. After that, it would be better to recuperate at home rather than at St. Mungo's.

"Yes." Percy nodded, "I feel much more relaxed after coming back here."

 “Hey, who the **** are you!” Fred suddenly yelled, startling everyone.

 George also pointed his wand at Percy, "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to use the Imperius Curse to control Percy!"

 “You two…”

The frightened Mrs. Weasley rolled up her sleeves angrily and walked over to twist their ears.

Fred quickly dodged Mrs. Weasley's hand and said with a serious face: "Mom, you have all been deceived. Percy can't say 'The Burrow is very comfortable'."

“Yeah, he said at the time that he was very depressed here and he would never come back again!” George helped.

Mrs. Weasley stopped, her expression complicated.

Because Percy did say that Voldemort had not yet appeared in public at that time, and the Ministry of Magic was denying his return.

At that time, Percy insisted on siding with Fudge, even at the expense of falling out with his family. From then on, he never came back.

Even if Fudge changed his tune in the end and Voldemort made a high-profile appearance, he only apologized, but he still avoided other Weasleys, let alone returned home.

There was an eerie silence in the Burrow, and Kyle didn't know what to say to lighten the atmosphere.

And this is a Weasley family matter, and nothing he said seemed appropriate.

Kyle, who was a little embarrassed, wanted to do something to keep himself busy. He carefully picked up a Buttercup mint and slowly unwrapped it, trying not to make a sound.

As soon as he opened the package, a thick arm stretched out from beside him and quickly snatched the candy away.

 Charlie looked back at Kyle and threw the candy into his mouth.

 It can be seen that he is also a little embarrassed.

Although he is also a Weasley, he was still in Romania when Percy had a falling out with his family. After returning, others rarely mentioned Percy.

 He also didn't know what to say at this time.

"sorry."

I don't know how long it took before Percy finally said: "I don't know what was wrong with me at the time. It was probably my ridiculous pride. Even if I knew I was wrong, I didn't know how to face you and dad... So I I just thought that as long as I don't meet you, I can pretend that nothing happened...

"But I know I was wrong. I'm sorry. If possible... I want to come back and come back to this family. Is that okay?"

Percy looked at Mrs. Weasley nervously, clasping his hands together.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Weasley's eyes turned red instantly, and she hugged Percy hard, "You are a member of the family, you can come back anytime you want."

“That’s the end of it?” Fred curled his lips and said easily: “If you apologize, can all the bad things in the past be wiped out?”

"And you." Percy turned his head, and even though he was weak, he still stood up unsteadily. "I apologize for what I did before. You can take it out any way you want, as long as you can let me live back, even in the attic."

Percy then bent down, just like when he saw Barty Crouch at the Quidditch World Cup, so low that his glasses fell on the table.

"You...don't think we can forgive you if you say that." Fred, who was filled with indignation just now, was speechless. He looked at Percy and subconsciously looked away.

The same goes for George. The two of them seemed to have reacted, and their expressions were a little awkward.

"It's amazing, you can actually say such a thing?" George threw the wand aside.

The wand hit the chair and turned into a toy haddock with a pop.

"I really doubt you are Percy now." Fred said, "The Percy we know would never apologize to his brother."

“He would only say: Fred, George, can you be quiet? I can’t even read.”

 “And complain to my mother.”

"You can check it, no matter what method you use, I'm fine with it," Percy said.

"Don't say that, dear." Mrs. Weasley rubbed her eyes, "I believe in the healers at St. Mungo's. If they can bring you back, it proves that you are definitely fine."

 “That’s what we’ll do naturally.”

George grabbed a piece of candy, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth. "But there is no need for the attic. Mom will kill us if we let you live there."

The two of them didn't seem to adapt to this scene, or they didn't expect Percy's change to be so drastic, so they left in a hurry after saying "We're going back to the store."

 The door to the Burrow was opened and closed.

"I haven't been to your house yet." Charlie suddenly turned to look at Kyle and asked.

 “You haven’t been there since you graduated.” Kyle said.

 “Has it been so long? How is Tom?” said Charlie. "It's that cat nives you have at home."

“It’s pretty good, it’s gained a lot of weight, but dad insists that it’s because its hair has grown longer.”

"I quite like the catnives. They are very smart little guys and are much easier to deal with than the fire dragons. Can you take me to see them?"

"Of course it's no problem." Kyle stood up and left the Burrow with Charlie.
