Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 935 Neville was a big help

Dumbledore finally left Hogsmeade and went to Nurmengard to search for Voldemort.

Although Dumbledore had a clear attitude when they first met and acted as if he knew everything, Kyle could tell that he should still be hiding something this time.

Such as the Elder Wand.

Of course, this may also be because Kyle forgot to ask.

In short, the Elder Wand held by Voldemort could not have cracked for no reason. There must be some reasons that Kyle did not know.

And even Aberforth knew that Dumbledore's things were not that easy to snatch. There might be one... or even many traps in it.

The most likely possibility is that the Elder Wand changed its owner midway.

Someone took ownership of the Elder Wand from Dumbledore, but not the Elder Wand.

In this way, even if Voldemort tried his best to **** the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's hand, he would not be its true master, and naturally he would not be able to exert its full strength.

But this raises two more doubts.

The first is how Dumbledore knew that Voldemort wanted to attack him.

According to the description in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", only by defeating or killing the previous owner of the Elder Wand can one fully master this most powerful wand.

The master of the Elder Wand is undoubtedly Dumbledore, and it is almost impossible for other wizards to defeat him.

Unless he knew Voldemort's plan in advance and voluntarily gave up ownership of the Elder Wand before he took action.

This is not difficult. Even the most powerful wand is just a wand, without wisdom or thought... As long as Dumbledore deliberately casts a disarming spell and throws the wand, the 'defeated' condition can be triggered.

This just happened to lead to the second doubt, who was the person who 'defeated' Dumbledore.

Kyle turned back into the secret passage and thought about it.

He first thought of himself... In the previous battle, Voldemort's wand had been damaged in various ways. It broke apart with a slightly more powerful spell, and even broke into two halves later. It seemed that this was indeed possible.

But Kyle soon thought that when Voldemort and Aberforth fought before, the Elder Wand was also very uncooperative, which made him hesitate.

Although he did defeat Dumbledore once in 1899, Kyle was not sure how to calculate that time.

If according to normal time, when he used the time turner, Voldemort had already snatched away the Elder Wand, and it would be useless to defeat Dumbledore.

But according to the time at that time, it seems that the owner of the Elder Wand was not Dumbledore.

Kyle thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter, so he simply jumped over.

If not him, the most likely candidates would be Draco Malfoy or Harry.

I remember when Malfoy first put the Death Eaters into Hogwarts, the two of them had a confrontation with Dumbledore in the tower for a while.

Although Kyle rushed over quickly, he didn't know what happened in the tower before.

If he had known earlier, he should have let Harry and Voldemort confront each other head-on, which would have saved him from guessing here.

Kyle thought to himself, but didn't pay too much attention.

It didn't matter who the owner of the Elder Wand was, as long as it wasn't Voldemort.

He walked out of the secret passage, and it was completely light outside.

Not far away, Harry was shaking two sleeping bags vigorously, trying to shake Ron and Hermione awake.

Kyle didn't bother him or ask him why he didn't use the coma spell, but turned around and walked in the other direction.

A few minutes later, he came to the bombed wooden bridge south of the school.

After Dumbledore's reminder, Kyle felt that he needed to come here again, not only to see if he could recover the biting cabbage, but also to clear out all clues pointing to him.

only…

Kyle looked at the clean ground and was a little confused for a moment. If he hadn't seen the traces of the wooden bridge being blown up, he would have thought he was going the wrong way.

This place seemed to have been cleaned in advance. The open space leading to the castle was clean, not even dust...hundreds of biting cabbage and Death Eaters all disappeared. Kyle looked around, not even a leaf None can be found.

Only a few professors and students are here, busy repairing the wooden bridge that has been blown up.

"Oh, Kyle, are you here to help too?" Sinister, the astronomy class professor, poked his head out of the crowd and asked.

Kyle noticed that there was a bandage wrapped around her arm. When Kyle walked over, he could clearly smell the smell of bone spirit and healing potion on the bandage.

The combination of these two potions... Her arm must have been broken and then reattached by Madam Pomfrey.

I have to say that the technique is a bit rough, and the bandages look messy...but at this time, the entire castle is full of wounded, so it would be good to be able to pick them up.

"Ah, yes, I'm here to help." Kyle stepped forward and waved his wand.

Pieces of planks flew over crookedly and were stacked on top of the half-finished wooden bridge.

"Professor Sinistra, I'm so glad you're safe..." Kyle pretended to be casual and asked, "When did you come?"

"Just now, about ten minutes ago." Professor Sinistra said.

"But is that okay with you?" Kyle glanced at the bandage on his arm, "I think it's better to go back to the castle and take a rest."

However, Sinista didn't care. "If this minor injury requires rest, then we might as well just stay in the castle."

"Okay." Kyle said, "This place looks really clean. Did you clean it up so quickly?"

"Cleaning? Not really."

Professor Sinistra shook his head, "It was like this when we arrived. Maybe Filius and the others came here in advance. We just need to repair the bridge..."

When he said this, Sinistra suddenly became irritable.

"Those **** Death Eaters are known to cause destruction. I don't understand why they want to blow up the wooden bridge and the astronomy tower. Could it be that this shows how powerful they are?

"What a bunch of uneducated barbaric wizards, idiots who are worse than caterpillars..."

Sinista cursed and recited the crimes of the Death Eaters, and Kyle pursed his lips and said nothing.

Not sure about the astronomy tower, but the bridge was blown up by students.

The whole process was probably Neville's seduction, Ginny's command, Seamus' action, and it had nothing to do with the Death Eaters... If anything, they should be on the victim's side.

However, since Professor Sinistra didn't know, Kyle had no intention of correcting her trivial mistake.

Kyle took control of the board and glanced down.

He now somewhat suspected that those Death Eaters were thrown under the cliff... After all, this was the easiest and fastest way to clean up the battlefield.

But I don’t know if it was because it was relatively cold in the early morning. There was only a thick white mist between the towering cliffs on both sides, and the bottom of the cliff could not be seen at all.

So Kyle wasn't sure if those biting cabbage and Death Eaters were down there.

"Kyle...Kyle..."

Professor Sinistra's voice brought Kyle back to his senses, and he quickly looked up at him.

"Sorry, I just remembered that you should take a rest now instead of coming here to help."

Professor Sinistra said in a small voice: "The pressure of fighting the mysterious man face to face must be very high. Go and rest quickly. Just leave this place to us."

Kyle didn't understand what this meant at first. It wasn't until he looked up and saw the row of crooked wooden boards in front of him that had completely deviated from the normal direction that he suddenly waved his wand.

Maybe he was so absorbed in his thoughts just now that he forgot to look in the direction.

"I'm sorry, Professor."

The wooden board fell off automatically and returned to its original position.

"You don't need to say that at all." Sinistra shook his head seriously, "What you are facing is someone who can't even name... Well, okay, Vol, Voldemort... I really hope I can get used to this name as soon as possible.

"What you are facing is Voldemort, who is not at the same level as our opponent. Go and rest quickly, and we will do the rest." Under Professor Sinistra's push, Kyle left here half-pushed.

He actually wanted to take a look under the cliff, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary. Going under the cliff at this time would only arouse suspicion out of thin air, so it would be better to do nothing.

Although I don’t know who is helping to clean up here, it is a good thing for him.

Kyle returned to the castle as if nothing had happened.

The sun was rising over Hogwarts, and the shattered ceiling of the auditorium was still trying to maintain its function. Two equally real rays of sunlight shone in from the outside, and the auditorium was filled with life and light.

Here people mourn their victims and celebrate their victories, with emotions of sadness and joy intertwined.

When Kyle walked in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone saw that he drove away Voldemort, and subconsciously regarded Kyle as the biggest hero, savior, and guide in this war. Everyone wanted to get close to him and express their gratitude to him.

Kyle was surrounded by the crowd and could not move. He could only stand here to accept people's thanks and comfort the families of those who died.

Normally this job belongs to Dumbledore, but now it seems that it has become him.

Professor McGonagall and other professors all stood nearby and seemed to acquiesce to this situation.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Kyle only felt that his lips were getting dryer and drier, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Kyle was sitting on a stool, and Neville came over and sat next to him, but his expression didn't look good, and there was no joy after victory at all.

"What's wrong?" Kyle asked subconsciously.

"My, my grandma is here." Neville suddenly became more nervous and even stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Mrs. Longbottom?" Kyle glanced at him, "This is a decisive battle between us and the Death Eaters. In addition to Mrs. Longbottom, the parents of other students will definitely come after receiving the news. It's okay."

"I know..." Neville clenched his fists nervously, "But I didn't help at all this time. My grandma will be very disappointed."

"Are you kidding, Neville." Kyle raised his eyebrows, "It's not that you didn't help with anything, on the contrary, you did a lot. I dare say everyone here can prove it to Mrs. Longbottom, You are a well-deserved hero."

"Really?" Neville's eyes lit up.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Ginny or Seamus. They must have the same opinion as me."

After hearing what Kyle said, Neville finally felt a lot more confident, but he still stayed here and did not leave, and he still looked very nervous.

.

"Is there anything else?" Kyle asked again.

"Sorry Kyle, I may have messed up something." Neville's eyes wandered. "I lost your biting kale."

"It doesn't matter..." Kyle was stunned for a moment, "Wait, did you just say biting cabbage?"

"Yes, yes!" Neville took a deep breath and said solemnly: "It was the biting cabbage you left to stop the Death Eaters. I lost it... But don't worry, I will definitely compensate you. your."

"There's no rush." ​​Kyle waved his hand, "Tell me first what's going on. Did you clear the open space behind the castle?"

"Probably... sort of." Neville nodded, and after recalling for a while, he said: "At that time, Voldemort had just escaped, and I accidentally saw the Minister of Magic heading towards the bridge while checking for fish that had slipped through the net.

"At that time, it suddenly occurred to me that wizards are prohibited from large-scale planting of biting cabbage, so I wanted to go over in advance and hide them."

When he said this, Neville's face suddenly turned pale, as if he thought of some bad picture, his throat kept rolling, and he looked like he might spit it out at any time.

But as early as last night, he had already vomited the contents of his stomach, so naturally nothing could be vomited out at this time.

"Because... time is tight, I want to collect those biting cabbage quickly." Neville took a few breaths and continued: "It's just that I messed up and put the slide spell in the wrong direction... Wait for my reaction When we came over, all the biting cabbage fell into the cliff."

Unknowingly, Kyle had sat up straight and felt a sense of disbelief when he looked at Neville.

He really didn't expect that the truth was like this.

It wasn't Dumbledore who was helping him, nor was it Diana or Chris, but Neville had erased all traces by mistake.

He was no stranger to the Slide Curse, a prank curse passed down by word of mouth among students.

The function is to turn the stairs into a slippery **** for Mrs. Norris to stand on when she goes up and down the stairs.

It’s just that this prank is so old-fashioned and has been used so many times that basically no one will fall for it.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Neville couldn't help but hit his head. "I will always mess up everything, even if it's just the simplest spell."

"Don't be like that Neville." Kyle stopped him hastily, "You did a good job."

"You don't need to comfort me, Kyle." Neville was a little moved, "I know I can't do anything well. I will definitely compensate for biting cabbage..."

"No Neville, please don't say that. I swear on Dumbledore's character that I am definitely not trying to comfort you."

Kyle patted Neville on the shoulder and said seriously: "I'm serious, you did really well."

“You must know that biting cabbage is not a docile plant, and it is almost impossible to collect them in a short time.

"As you said, the Ministry of Magic prohibits large-scale cultivation of biting cabbage. If it is discovered, it will be a big trouble. There is nothing wrong with your approach."

"Really?" Neville asked in confusion.

"Of course." Kyle said, "You did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you did me a big favor."

The more Kyle talked, the happier he became. Finally, he found a flower pot directly from the box and forced it to Neville.

There are plants he bought back in 1899. They are of no great use, but they are beautiful and rare. Now they are almost impossible to find.

Kyle remembered that Neville loved magical plants, and herbal medicine was the only class where he could get high marks. It was a perfect gift to use this as a gift.

Neville was completely confused. By the time he came to his senses and wanted to return the flower pot, Kyle had already left the auditorium.

Mainly because Neville reminded him that more and more students and parents would come to Hogwarts in the future. If he continued to stay here, sooner or later he would be surrounded by crowds again.

Once is enough.

Kyle later found the Weasleys, who were all in a corridor on the second floor, where Fleur was having a heated argument with Bill.

"You don't want to marry me... just because you're missing an ear?" Fleur's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly across a corridor.

"Bill, why do you think I decided to marry you because you have two ears?"

"Pfft..." Fred, who was drinking water next to him, spat it out. Then he hurriedly turned his head and covered his mouth, but he happened to see Kyle walking over.

"Oh, our heroes are here, and they are finally willing to let you go?"

"No, I sneaked out." Kyle said, "What happened here."

"As you can see." George turned his head and said: "Bill lost one ear, and he began to dislike Fleur with two ears..."

"Huh?" Kyle looked at George, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Are you sure Bill dislikes Fleur?"

"Of course, those are the ears that were knocked off by Death Eaters. This is an honor..." George said confidently.

Then he lowered his head again. This man exuded a sense of malaise from the inside out, and murmured to himself: "It's not fair. Fred and I are twins. The next person who loses his ears should be I'm right, how could it be Bill...it's not fair."

There was actually a kind of undisguised jealousy in George's words... What was even more incredible was that Fred was still looking at him complacently.

It seems that losing an ear is really a happy thing.

This... I also met Merlin.

But how to say it.

If it were anyone else, Kyle might have thought they were crazy, but if it were Fred and George... let's just say it's normal.
