Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 874: People's Reactions, Encounter in Diagon Alley

As a former Auror and a legendary Auror, Alastor Moody was not an indecisive person. After making the decision, he immediately walked forward, pulled a hair from Lanis's head and threw it into the Polyjuice Potion, and drank it all after the color of the potion changed.

The effect was immediate, his face began to distort, and the evil eye was pushed out by a real eye like a pinball.

In just a few seconds, he completely turned into Lannis.

"How does it feel?" Kyle asked curiously.

"It's a bit strange." Moody frowned.

Without the all-round and penetrating vision of the magic eye, he always felt weird and insecure.

But these can be overcome as long as you get used to them slowly.

"No, I'm asking about the taste," Kyle said. "Everyone's Polyjuice Potion tastes different. I'm quite curious."

"Not very good." Although Moody didn't understand Kyle's train of thought, he still said truthfully: "It has a salty and fishy smell, a bit like salmon that has been left out for a long time."

"Then Professor, you have to try to get used to the stronger taste." Kyle couldn't help laughing, "After all, you'll have to drink this stuff often in the future."

"I'm not picky about taste," Moody said, "but how am I going to give you the information? Here?"

"No, you don't need to do anything." Kyle shook his head.

Moody's opponents are not just those wandering wizards, they may also include Voldemort. The more he does, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.

"Before the day you completely betray us, you just need to pretend to be the real Babollainis. As for when to act and how to convince those wandering wizards to betray us... Professor, you should have more experience than me."

"Of course." Moody thought for a moment and nodded.

He also had to admit that if he was the one delivering the message, the Order of the Phoenix might gain a certain advantage in the short term, but once they were discovered, the loss would outweigh the gain.

"That's good." Kyle said, "I will deliver the finished Polyjuice Potion here on time, or the ingredients are also fine. Professor, tell me which one you need."

"No, I don't need anything." Moody said, "Because this will also increase the possibility of being exposed. There are many wandering wizards who smuggle banned herbs. I will find a way to make the Polyjuice Potion myself."

"Are you sure?" Kyle hesitated. "How about I put some here? If you encounter an emergency, you can come here to get it."

"Ha..." Moody glanced at him, feeling that he was being looked down upon. "When I was an Auror, your father wasn't even born yet. Instead of worrying about me here, you should think more about your own safety."

As he spoke, he quickly closed Lanis's clothes, took out something like a water bag, and put the other person in it.

Because the key ingredients of the Polyjuice Potion need to be replenished at all times, Lanis is still of great use and must be kept alive.

If he dies, the hair will be useless.

"Well, you decide." Kyle shrugged.

He originally wanted to remind Moody to use Legilimency to get familiar with Lannis, but now it seems that there is no need. As a veteran Auror, Moody knows better than anyone what to do at this time.

At this time, the cat-leopard that had left earlier came back and leaned next to Kyle, whimpering softly.

"The audience is almost here." Kyle smiled. "Are you ready, Professor? You are about to enter."

"I can't wait any longer." Moody took a deep breath.

Then, Kyle waved his wand, and a wizard on the ground immediately turned into Moody.

"My Transfiguration spell isn't the best. It might be able to fool you for a short period of time, but it's best not to delay it for too long."

"I've already told you, you don't need to teach me how to do it." Moody said unhappily, and quickly stuffed the magic eye in his hand into the eye socket of his other self.

"Do you need me to prepare a funeral for you?" Kyle asked as he watched his smooth movements.

"The grander, the better." Moody's mouth twitched. "I have to say, this feels really strange."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Kyle said, "If you suddenly disappear, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Death Eaters. When the performance begins, we naturally have to avoid any possibility of being exposed.

"Oh, and remember to claim reimbursement later. After all, a grand funeral costs a lot of Galleons."

When Moody looked up again, Kyle had disappeared.

At the same time, Barty Crouch Jr. and other Death Eaters, who heard the noise, appeared nearby, trailing black smoke.

"Lenis, you..."

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

……

Kyle stood on a tree at the edge of the woods, looked at a dazzling fire suddenly appearing in the distance, sighed softly, and left the woods without looking back.

Although it was an idea he came up with at the last minute, he believed Moody would be fine.

Even Barty Crouch Jr. could hide himself perfectly next to Dumbledore, so there was no reason why Moody couldn't hide from Voldemort.

It's a pity about the 30,000 Galleons.

Kyle pounded his leg in frustration.

Everything just happened too fast. Kyle was worried about Moody's safety and had no time to pick up the scattered Galleons. He just chased after him.

That's 30,000 Galleons. After the box exploded, it was like a Galleon rain, and the whole road was dyed golden. Kyle had even prepared the sack, but in the end, he got nothing in order to save Moody.

Well...that's not the case.

Kyle reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold Galleon. The coin flew directly into his pocket without him having to pick it up.

That's fine, at least it's not a wasted trip.

Kyle glanced back at the woods once more, then Apparated away.

……

"What did you say, Alastor...dead?"

Ministry of Magic, Department for the Regulation and Control of Muggle Artifacts.

Mr. Weasley's legs went weak and he knocked over the documents on the table with a thud and fell to the ground. Lupin, who happened to be there, looked pale and clutched his chest tightly. Tonks covered her face with a handkerchief and cried silently.

"boom!"

The office door was slammed open from the outside, and Kingsley and Sirius stumbled in, almost falling to the ground, but they didn't care at all and stared at Kyle.

"What did you just say...Mad-Eye died?"

They had just wanted to find Mr. Weasley for something, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard this shocking news.

"I got there quite late." Kyle's face was heavy. "The battle was over when I arrived at the forest. I found this in a deep pit left by a blasting spell..."

Kyle pursed his lips tightly and pulled out a broken black buckle belt.

"This is..." Kingsley's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Mad-Eye's strap for holding his magic eye in place." Lupin finished the second half of his sentence for him.

They were so familiar with this thing that they could almost recognize it as Alastor's at first glance.

"Impossible!" Kingsley took two steps back. "Mad-Eye is the most powerful Auror. How could he be killed by a group of wandering wizards? I don't believe it!"

As an Auror himself, he is one of the people who knows Alastor Moody's strength best.

"I don't believe it either, but..."

Kyle pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything else.

"It's okay, he must have run away." Lupin forced an extremely ugly smile, "We all know... Mad-Eye knows a lot of tricks to protect himself. He, he must be trying to deceive those Death Eaters in this way."

"Yes." Mr. Weasley also said at the right time: "You didn't see him being killed with your own eyes, did you?"

Kyle glanced away, deliberately avoiding Mr. Weasley's eyes, but this action, which was tantamount to trying to cover up something, made the atmosphere in the office even heavier.

"I don't believe it!" Kingsley turned and walked out, "I want to go to Cornwall!"

"Don't be impulsive, Kingsley." Lupin quickly grabbed his arm, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"But I can't convince myself to keep waiting here."

"Then let's go together, everyone." Sirius walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.

He looked at Kingsley and said seriously, "Let's go together, now."

"Sirius, how come even you..." Lupin was almost going crazy.

Who knows if there are any of Voldemort's people in Cornwall, or even Voldemort himself? If the Order of the Phoenix rashly goes there at this time, wouldn't it be walking into a trap?

But no one listened to his advice, and several people immediately walked out of the office.

There was no other choice, so Lupin could only chase after them, hoping to stop them. "Wait, Sirius, we have to investigate first. If we rush in rashly, we will only fall into their trap..."

The men walked further and further away, but Kyle did not move. Instead, he helped up Mr. Weasley who was still sitting on the ground.

"How is this possible? Alastor is a legendary Auror. Even the You-Know-Who couldn't kill him..." He muttered to himself, as if all the strength had been drained from him.

Kyle tried to help him back to the Burrow, but Mr. Weasley shook his head.

"Don't tell them yet, at least not until the truth is confirmed."

Kyle nodded silently and took him to number twelve Grimmauld Place.

Ever since Mrs. Weasley returned to the Burrow, this place has been empty for a while.

But today, everyone is back. Lupin finally managed to stop Sirius and Kingsley, who were already getting angry, and forcibly pulled them back from the entrance of the Ministry of Magic.

Still, those people in the Ministry of Magic were perhaps unwilling to believe this fact. The reason given by Mr. Weasley was that if Alastor was still alive, spreading false news would affect everyone's morale.

No one objected to this.

"We have to make sure whether Mad-Eye really met with an accident." Lupin said, looking at Kyle, "Of course, I don't mean to disbelieve it, but it all happened too suddenly..."

"I understand." Kyle nodded, "But the wandering wizard named Babollainis has already reached a cooperation with the Death Eaters. It may be dangerous to go there now.

"If more people go, it is likely to cause a bigger conflict and even attract a mysterious person."

"It's okay, leave this task to me." Tonks stepped forward, "I'll go investigate the situation. I will definitely not be discovered."

"I'll go with you," Lupin said immediately.

"Are you a Metamorphmagus?" Tonks glared at him. "Or, can you guarantee that you won't be discovered when you sneak in?"

"No, I can't."

"Then don't make trouble." Tonks pushed Lupin away without saying anything. "Everyone knows that I am the most suitable person to find out the news."

"Then I'll go and help." Lupin said, "Don't look at me like that, this is very necessary. If you give a signal, I can rush to support you as soon as possible."

"And I'm coming too," said Sirius.

It seemed that this was the best solution at the moment, and no one objected.

That afternoon, the three of them headed for Cornwall.

Mr. Weasley looked at the backs of several people. After calming down, he always felt that something was wrong.

He vaguely remembered that Kyle had said that he was just delivering a message, so why did he go to Cornwall, and by chance, he witnessed the scene of Alastor being killed.

Where's Dumbledore? Isn't he here?

Although Mr. Weasley found it strange, he did not think much about it. He just wanted to wait for Tonks and the others to come back, so that he could tell them that Kyle had made a mistake and Alastor was not killed.

Because everyone had other things to do, the people from Number 12 Grimmauld Place didn't stay together for too long and left soon.

Kyle looked at the empty foyer, thought for a moment, and decided to go to Cornwall again.

His original intention was to confirm the news of Moody's 'death' as ​​soon as possible. The sooner the news was spread, the safer he would be.

But he didn't expect that Mr. Weasley and the others didn't completely believe what he said and insisted on confirming it.

But it's not surprising that they would have such an idea. With Alastor Moody's strength, it would not be so easy to kill him if he hadn't encountered Voldemort head-on, let alone like now, when no news has been leaked.

Forget it, just do it a few days later. Besides, if Sirius and the others go and make a fuss, it can also increase its credibility. He believes that Moody can handle everything.

But just in case, it would be better for him to go with them. Even if he is caught, he can make up for it depending on the situation.

But before that, he needed to do some shopping.

This incident once again proved the effectiveness of the polyjuice decoction, and he had to replenish the stock as soon as possible.

Although the sale of this potion was banned by the Ministry of Magic some time ago, ban does not mean it does not exist.

After Kyle doubled the price, the potion shop owner, who had previously vowed to abide by the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, turned around and took out three bottles, about a pint of medicine.

Of course, Kyle did not forget to change his appearance to prevent his boss from running to the Ministry of Magic to report him the next second.

It is still necessary to take precautionary measures.

After walking out of the store, Kyle turned around and looked at the sign behind him.

"A big cauldron of potion."

Wait a little longer, until time gets back on track, then go find Fred and George. It seems they have the power to seal off illegal stores.

Maybe I can get back the extra Galleons I paid... I think I can.

Kyle shook his head and stopped thinking about it, preparing to set off immediately to the forest to find Sirius and his friends.

But when he passed by Gringotts, two people caught his attention.

Although one of them was wearing a hood, the few strands of platinum hair that showed through clearly revealed his identity.

Lucius Malfoy?

Kyle frowned. Wasn't he in Cornwall with Barty Crouch Jr.?

If he remembered correctly, he was the one who threw the box before.

But how did Lucius end up in Diagon Alley? Was the matter in Cornwall over?

The more Kyle thought about it, the more strange it seemed, so he followed subconsciously.

"Only members of the Malfoy family are allowed to go to the family vault. There's no point in you following them. Just wait here." At the door of Gringotts, Malfoy turned and said to another Death Eater.

"Hurry up." The other party raised his head and said sinisterly: "This is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself. I hope you will not disappoint the Dark Lord."

"You don't need to remind me." Lucius said coldly and walked into Gringotts without looking back.

The Dark Lord?

Atoning for one's sins?

Kyle lowered his head, pretending to be a passerby going to withdraw money, and followed him into Gringotts.

The purpose of Lucius coming here... needless to say, is to withdraw money, and the amount should not be small.

Cornwall County just threw out 30,000 Galleons, which is not a small sum of money even for the Malfoy family.

It’s only been a short time, here you come again?

Could it be that Voldemort wants to squeeze the Malfoy family dry?

But it seems that Malfoy only has this one use, a mobile wallet... Otherwise, the act of losing the diary would be enough for Voldemort to kill him ten times.

This is really...it's your own fault.

Kyle walked into Gringotts, but did not attract much attention, after all, there was a big customer, Malfoy, in front of him.

Kyle touched his robe, looked as if he had forgotten his keys, and turned around and walked out naturally.

Just at the moment he walked out of the door, with the door blocking his view, his body quickly changed. His robe turned into a black hood, and his hair quickly grew longer and changed from black to platinum.
