Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 942 Disappearance
"Hey, Kyle, where's Mad-Eye?" Hagrid walked over with two bottles, first glanced into Kyle's cabin, and then looked at the open space around him.
"I don't know where he is." Kyle shook his head, "But he said before that he wanted to go home."
"Go home...Oh, yes, a lot of people want to go home after the war." Hagrid's voice became much deeper.
"It's the same with Grawp. I saw him sitting there in a daze this morning, but he can't go back. Mother won't welcome him... Of course, she won't welcome me either."
"Mad-Eye should go back... Although I wanted to have a drink with him to celebrate his resurrection... but he should go back."
Hagrid kept muttering something, and the two bottles of wine he brought were not wasted... After making sure Kyle didn't want to drink, he poured them all into his own mouth.
"Hagrid, you..." Kyle looked at him, hesitant to speak.
"I'm fine." Hagrid shook his head. "Giants only like children who are tall enough. I've gotten used to it. It's just that Grawp will need some time."
"Let's not talk about that." He stuffed the two empty bottles into his jacket pocket. "So Mad-Eye is really alive. I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"He wasn't dead in the first place." Kyle said, "But he has other missions later, so you must not... tell anyone."
"I understand. It needs to be kept secret, right? Don't worry." Hagrid patted his chest.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood there motionless.
Mad-Eye is not dead, so could it be that Professor Dumbledore is also... Oh, what am I thinking about? This is impossible. No one has found Mad-Eye, but Dumbledore is indeed real.
Or he carried it over personally...Hagrid's expression became lonely again. He wanted to drink, but only took out two empty bottles.
"Hagrid, Hagrid..."
Kyle called out twice more, but got no response. It was not until the third time that Hagrid slowly looked over.
"Sorry Kyle, I didn't hear that."
"It's okay." Kyle didn't know what Hagrid was thinking just now. He just thought he was still thinking about his giant brother.
"I'm going to the castle for lunch, would you like to join me?" Kyle invited.
"You go ahead, I want to go with Grawp." Hagrid shook his head and refused.
There was no choice but Kyle went to the castle alone.
Compared to yesterday, the castle suddenly seemed much emptier today.
Most people had already left, with less than a hundred students remaining, and not even one long table was full at lunch.
"Someone will be here soon." Fred stuffed a piece of fried pork chop into his mouth and said vaguely, "This morning... I heard the professors discussing... whether to reopen the class."
"As you know, there is still some time before the end of the school year."
George's voice came from the other side of Kyle, "If school reopens now, we should be able to catch up with the two important exams, OWL for fifth grade and NEWT for seventh grade."
"I think they will be very disappointed when they hear the news." Kyle couldn't help but say.
"I firmly support Professor McGonagall's decision this time." Fred finally swallowed the fried pork chop in his mouth.
"The exam is the most important experience in a wizard's career. How can it be cancelled because of something as trivial as Voldemort's attack on Hogwarts?"
“That’s a shame.”
"You can't do that at Hogwarts."
“This is irresponsible to all students.”
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune and expressing their indignation, Kyle almost believed it.
That means they have already graduated, otherwise they would never say such things.
"Hey, we're not gloating over other people's misfortunes." Seeing Kyle's speechless expression, George immediately explained, "We're trying to strengthen the choir."
"Chorus?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the Toad Choir at Hogwarts.
"That's the idea you proposed," said Fred. "We gave it a more detailed name, calling it the first group of wizards from all over the world to unite and denounce Voldemort."
"That's too long a name." Kyle smacked his lips. "Are you serious?"
“We also thought the name was a bit long,” said Fred.
"So we gave it another abbreviation... the Chorus." George picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and clinked it with Fred.
"Okay." Kyle smacked his lips, gradually accepting this outrageous, but in a sense normal name.
As for Fred and George... no matter what decision they make, it won't be surprising.
“We take this activity very seriously.”
"Yes."
"But later we found that although there were many people in the castle, few of them agreed with our ideas..."
"Those adults will just think we are fooling around..."
"So far, we have only developed more than 80 members. The number is too small..."
"But we also found that it is not difficult to solve this problem..."
"As long as Hogwarts reopens..."
"We will have several hundred reserve players by then."
Kyle understood by now.
Or maybe it was because his ideas were novel and not everyone could accept them.
Fred and George could because they were not bound by rules and did not have much fear of Voldemort.
But for those adult wizards, who had experienced the war more than a decade ago, the fear of Voldemort in their hearts could not be easily dispelled in a day or two.
Maybe they could try to change the way they address others in crowded places, but it would be difficult for them to come up with anything too extreme.
This is an instinct.
Fred and George had only recently discovered this, so they turned their attention to those students who had not experienced the First Wizarding War.
But there were only a few people who came to Hogwarts to help, and after the war, some of them were picked up by their parents who rushed over, so there were less than a hundred people left.
“All of these people have been contacted.”
“The number is still too small.”
"But if we want to recruit new members, we have to wait until school starts."
The two sighed and looked worried.
According to their plan, eighty people were not enough. If they wanted to greet Voldemort continuously throughout the day, at least two hundred people would be needed.
To be honest, if they just want to get this number of people together, it is not difficult. They have countless ways to expand their team rapidly in a short period of time.
But they did not do so, or rather, they added the most important restriction to themselves... When making those remarks against Voldemort, the person must be in Hogwarts.
This is also to protect the safety of those people to the greatest extent.
After all, Voldemort is not a magnanimous person. Even if he was defeated and escaped, his terrifying power remains.
Once he gets angry, basically no one can escape his pursuit... unless everyone stays together in Hogwarts, where Voldemort will definitely not dare to return.
It is because of this that the number has been unable to increase. After all, there are only so many people in the school, and those who can join have basically joined.
"Oh, Kyle, I just remembered that you are also a professor." George suddenly slammed the table and said, "Go and ask if Hogwarts can reopen."
"Right, how could I have forgotten this." Fred also reacted: "And this was your suggestion. We can't be the only ones busy while you do nothing."
"It's time for you to make a contribution."
Before Kyle even had time to put down the cutlery in his hand, they pushed him off the dining table.
Kyle originally wanted to go back and finish lunch before talking about it, but seeing the gloomy eyes of Fred and George, he gave up the idea, sighed, and walked towards the direction of the professor.
Because the school had not officially started yet, Professor McGonagall and others did not sit in the previous teacher's seats. Instead, they all sat at the front of the Gryffindor table.
When Kyle walked over, they were discussing whether to start school, and no one noticed him.
"No, this is too dangerous," Sprout clearly objected, "No one can guarantee that Voldemort will not come back. If this is the case, we will not have time to organize another student evacuation."
"Pomona, your worries are completely unnecessary." Professor Flitwick on the opposite side had a completely opposite opinion from her.
“I don’t think Voldemort will come back. He should be very clear that after losing his Death Eaters, it is impossible for him to face the combined siege of all the professors at the same time.
If he had been smarter, he wouldn't have come back."
"I agree with Filius," Astronomy Professor Sinistra said in a low voice, "and from what I know, the Aurors have also been looking for Voldemort and Severus...Snape, the traitor.
"If they really dare to return to Hogwarts, it would be nothing less than walking into a trap."
During their discussion, Professor McGonagall remained silent.
Although she attached great importance to those exams, she was more concerned about the safety of the students and it was difficult for her to make a decision at the moment.
But after listening to what Professor Flitwick and Professor Sinistra said, she seemed a little convinced.
Because she also didn't think that Voldemort would come to Hogwarts to cause trouble after all his Death Eaters were captured.
Perhaps a single professor is no match for Voldemort, but if all the professors attack together, the one who will flee will be Voldemort.
So Professor McGonagall felt that even if Voldemort really wanted revenge, the first thing he should do was to rescue the captured Death Eaters instead of coming to Hogwarts alone.
Therefore, as long as they pay more attention to the situation at the Ministry of Magic, they should be able to send the students away again before Voldemort makes a comeback.
"Well, let's vote." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and interrupted the discussion.
"Please raise your hands if you agree to reopen schools."
Several hands went up immediately, almost half of the total, including Flitwick and Professor Sinistra's.
Kyle also raised his hand, he was at the very edge, but I don’t know if he was counted.
"Very good." Professor McGonagall put down her hand and spoke again: "Those who disagree with the start of school raise their hands."
A few more hands went up, but it was obviously much fewer than before.
Because some people didn't raise their hands twice, such as Sybill Trelawney and Slughorn.
"Then the result is obvious." Professor McGonagall said, "Filius, please go and inform the students that Hogwarts will officially open tomorrow."
"No problem." Professor Flitwick didn't even eat lunch, jumped off his chair and walked out of the auditorium, but he soon turned back.
"Minerva, are we going to launch the Hogwarts Express?"
"No." Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and shook her head, "The train takes too long, let them go directly to Hogsmeade, Apparate or take the Knight Bus.
"Remember to tell them how to summon the Knight Bus. Although it's a little less comfortable, it's very fast. Even if they come from the farthest part of the UK, it won't take long. It's very convenient."
"No problem," Professor Flitwick hurried away, heading in the direction of the Owlery.
The simplest and most unpretentious form of communication at Hogwarts is… sending letters.
"Pomona."
Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Sprout again, "Please check around the castle again. I'm worried that there are still traces of dark magic left by the Death Eaters. They must be cleaned up before the students start class."
"I understand." Although Professor Sprout was against starting school now, she couldn't say anything else since most professors agreed, so she stood up and walked out of the auditorium.
There were several other professors with her.
After all, checking for black magic is a very tedious task, and one person certainly cannot do it.
Under Professor McGonagall's arrangement, everyone quickly got their own tasks.
"Professor McGonagall, what about me?" Kyle asked, pointing at himself in the corner.
"You don't need to do anything..." Professor McGonagall paused.
Her original idea was actually to make Kyle ready to face Voldemort again at any time, just like yesterday.
But after hesitating for a moment, she changed her tone and said, "You can decide for yourself whether to help Filius or Pomona, but you must get enough rest first."
"Don't worry Professor McGonagall, I'm totally fine." Kyle said.
He then returned to Fred and George and told them the good news that Hogwarts would soon reopen.
Although he had played almost no role in the matter, Fred and George didn't know that.
They only knew that the matter was settled as soon as Kyle went to the teacher's seat, and they were full of admiration for Kyle for a moment.
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter." Kyle said calmly, "But you have to be more careful when the time comes. Your current script is not suitable for those first and second grade wizards."
"We are certainly aware of this."
"Don't worry, we won't corrupt those little things."
The two men made a promise, but it was uncertain how credible it was.
It should be quite high, after all, most products in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes have age restrictions.
And if they teach the younger wizards bad things, Professor McGonagall will be the first one to not let them go.
Fred and George would never do anything dangerous like that.
After a simple lunch, Kyle prepared to go find Professor Sprout.
Professor Flitwick couldn't help much. The school's owls were specially trained, and their flying ability and endurance were much better than those of ordinary postmen.
There are almost hundreds of students who need to deliver letters, but for them it is just a matter of flying a few more times.
As for the letter, it could also be done with the Copying Charm. Professor Flitwick could do it alone, without any help.
Leaving the auditorium, Kyle headed towards the stairs.
But at this moment, Fox, who had been very quiet since the war, suddenly flew out of the box and landed directly on Kyle's shoulder.
The appearance of the Phoenix immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the professors who had not yet left.
Although they already knew that Phoenix was beside Kyle during the previous battle, and cooperated with him to fight, using special Apparition to dodge the Killing Curse twice in a row.
But now seeing this scene up close, they still find it a little unbelievable.
Because everyone knows that Professor Dumbledore has a phoenix, and now it appears on Kyle's shoulder... Is this Dumbledore's choice?
Some people instantly had a picture in their minds of the handover between the old and new wizards, and the Phoenix Fawkes was the token of their love.
Unlike the professor, the students' ideas were much simpler. They simply thought the Phoenix was beautiful. Fred even took out a camera and prepared to take a photo to print on their upcoming promotional leaflet.
He has already chosen a name, the Boy and the Phoenix, which should attract a lot of people to them.
"boom!"
A cloud of purple smoke rose up, and Fred looked at the photo in his hand, frowning slightly.
There was a bright fire above and nothing else.
When he pressed the shutter, Kyle was surrounded by flames and disappeared.
