Chapter 942 Disappearance

"Hey, Kyle, where's Mad-Eye?" Hagrid came over with two bottles, first glanced into Kyle's wooden house, 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, many people want to go home after the war." Hagrid's voice became much deeper.

"The same goes for Graup. I saw him sitting there in a daze this morning, but he can't go back. Mom won't welcome him... and of course, she won't welcome me either."

"Mad-Eye should go back...although I originally wanted to have a drink with him to celebrate his resurrection...but he should go back."

Hagrid kept mumbling something, and the two bottles of wine he brought were not wasted... After he was sure that Kyle didn't want to drink, he poured them all into his mouth.

"Hagrid, you..." Kyle looked at him but hesitated to speak.

"I'm fine." Hagrid shook his head, "Giants only like children who are tall enough. I've long been used to it, but Graup still needs some time."

"Let's not talk about it anymore." He stuffed the two empty wine bottles into the pockets of his coat. "So Mad-Eye is really alive and I didn't dream, right?"

"He wasn't dead in the first place." Kyle said, "But he will have other tasks after that. 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 think of something and suddenly stood there motionless.

Mad-Eye is not dead, could Professor Dumbledore be... Oh, what was I thinking, this is impossible, no one has found Mad-Eye, but Dumbledore is indeed real.

He carried him there himself... Hagrid's expression became lonely again. He wanted to drink, but he only took out two empty bottles.

"Hagrid, Hagrid..."

Kyle called twice more, but didn't get any response. It wasn't 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, shall we?" Kyle invited.

"Go ahead, I want to accompany Grawp." Hagrid shook his head and refused.

There was no way, Kyle could only go to the castle alone.

Compared with yesterday, the castle today suddenly seemed much emptyer.

Most people have left, less than a hundred students are still here, and not even one long table is full during 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 restart classes."

"As you know, it's still some time before the end of the school year."

George's voice came from the other side of Kyle, "If we reopen school at this time, we should still be able to catch up with these two important exams, the fifth grade O.W.L. and the seventh grade N.E.W.T."

"I think they will be very disappointed when they hear the news." Kyle couldn't help but said.

"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 canceled because of something as trivial as Voldemort's attack on Hogwarts."

"That's a shame."

"Hogwarts can't do this."

"This is irresponsible to all students."

Seeing the two of them singing along, filled with indignation, Kyle almost believed it.

That is to say, they have graduated, otherwise they would never be able to say such things.

"Hey, we're not gloating about our misfortune." Looking at Kyle's speechless look, George immediately explained: "We are here to strengthen the chorus."

"Chorus?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking of the Toad Chorus at Hogwarts.

"It's the idea you proposed." Fred said, "We gave it a more detailed name, called the first pioneer team of wizards from all over the world to unite to denounce Voldemort."

"This name is too long." Kyle smacked his lips, "Are you serious?"

"We also thought the name was a bit long," Fred said.

"So we gave it another abbreviation...the chorus." George picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and banged it lightly 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 a surprise.

"We take this activity very seriously."

"That's right."

"But later we discovered that although there were many people in the castle, very few agreed with our ideas..."

"Those adults will just think we are fooling around..."

"So until now, we have only developed more than 80 members, which is too small..."

"But we also discovered that it is not difficult to solve this problem..."

"As long as Hogwarts reopens..."

"We will have hundreds of alternate players by then."

Kyle also understood it at this point.

Or because his idea was novel in the past and not everyone could accept it.

Fred and George could do it because they were informal and didn't have much respect for Voldemort.

But for those adult wizards, they had experienced the war more than ten years ago, and the fear of Voldemort in their hearts could not be easily dissipated in a day or two.

Maybe they could try changing the name in a crowded place, but it would be hard to say anything too outrageous.

This is an instinct.

Fred and George only discovered this recently, so they set their sights on 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 parents who came in a hurry, and there were not even a hundred left.

"All of these people have been contacted."

"The quantity is still too small."

"But if we want to develop new members, we have to wait until school starts."

The two sighed and looked sad.

In their plan, eighty people were simply not enough. If they wanted to greet Voldemort continuously throughout the day, at least two hundred people would have to participate.

To be honest, if you just want to gather this number of people, it is not difficult. They have countless ways to quickly expand their team in a short period of time.

But they didn't do that, or in other words, they added the most important restriction to themselves... When saying those things about Voldemort, I had to be at Hogwarts.

This is also to maximize the safety of those people.

After all, Voldemort is not a generous enough person. Even if he is defeated and escapes, his terrifying strength is still there.

Once he becomes angry, basically no one can escape his pursuit...unless everyone stays together at Hogwarts, where Voldemort will never dare to come back again.

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.

"By the way, Kyle, I just remembered that you are also a professor." George suddenly slammed the table and said, "Go and ask if Hogwarts can reopen."

"That's right, why did I forget this." Fred also responded: "And this is what you suggested. We can't be the only ones busy. You can do nothing."

"It's your turn to make some contribution." Before Kyle even had time to put down the tableware in his hand, the two of them pushed him out of the dining table.

Kyle originally wanted to go back and finish lunch before talking, but looking at the ghostly looks in Fred and George's eyes, he gave up the idea and instead sighed and walked in the direction of the professor.

Because the school year had not officially started yet, Professor McGonagall and others were not at the previous teachers' seats, but were all sitting at the front of the Gryffindor table.

When Kyle walked over, they happened to be discussing whether to start school, and no one noticed him.

"No, this is too dangerous," Sprout clearly objected. "No one can guarantee whether Voldemort will come back again. If this is the case, we will have no time to organize another student evacuation."

"Pomona, your worries are completely unnecessary." Professor Flitwick opposite her had completely opposite opinions.

"I don't think Voldemort will come back. He should know very well that after losing the Death Eaters, it is simply impossible for him to face the encirclement of all professors at the same time.

If he were smarter, he wouldn't be able to come back. "

"I agree with Filius." Astronomy Professor Sinistra whispered: "And as far as I know, the Aurors have been looking for the traitor Voldemort and Sev...Snape.

"If they really dare to return to Hogwarts, they will be trapped in a trap."

While they were discussing, Professor McGonagall remained silent.

Although she attaches great importance to those exams, she is more concerned about the safety of students, and it is difficult to make a decision at the moment.

But after listening to what Flitwick and Professor Sinistra said, she seemed a little convinced.

Because she also didn't think Voldemort would come back to Hogwarts to cause trouble after all his Death Eaters were wiped out.

Perhaps a single professor would definitely not be Voldemort's opponent, but if all the professors went up together, the only one who would be able to escape would be Voldemort.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall felt that even if Voldemort really wanted revenge, the first thing to do would be 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 away students again before Voldemort comes back.

"Okay, let's vote." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat, interrupting the discussion of everyone present.

“Hands up if you agree with reopening schools.”

Including Professors Flitwick and Sinistra, several hands immediately rose up, almost half of them.

Kyle also raised his hand, and he was at the very edge, but I didn’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 were raised, but obviously there were far fewer than before.

Because there were people who didn't raise their hands twice, like Sybill Trelawney and Slughorn.

"Then the result is already obvious." Professor McGonagall said, "Filius, please inform the students later that Hogwarts will officially start tomorrow."

"No problem." Professor Flitwick didn't even eat lunch, jumped off his seat and walked out of the auditorium, but soon he turned back.

"Minerva, are we starting 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, Disapparate or take the Knight Bus.

"Remember to tell them how to summon the Knight Bus. Although the comfort is a little worse, it is very fast. It doesn't take long even from the farthest place in the UK. It is very convenient."

"No problem." Professor Flitwick hurriedly left, heading towards the owl shed.

The simplest and most unpretentious way of communication in Hogwarts...sending letters.

"Pomona."

Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Sprout again, "Please go look around the castle again. I'm worried that there are traces of black magic left by the Death Eaters here. They must be cleaned up before the students go to class."

"I understand." Although Professor Sprout objected to starting school now, but with most professors agreeing, she had no choice but to say anything and also stood up and walked out of the auditorium.

There were several other professors with her.

After all, checking black magic is a very tedious task, and one person is definitely not able to do it.

Under the arrangement of Professor McGonagall, everyone quickly got their tasks.

"Professor McGonagall, what about me?" In the corner, Kyle pointed to himself and asked.

"You don't need to do anything..." Professor McGonagall paused.

Her initial thought was to prepare Kyle to face Voldemort again at any time, just like yesterday.

But after hesitating for a moment, she changed her words and said, "You can decide for yourself. You can help Filius or Pomona, but you must rest well before talking."

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, I'm totally fine." Kyle said.

He then returned to Fred and George and gave them the good news that Hogwarts was about to reopen.

Although he had hardly any help in this matter, Fred and George didn't know it.

They only knew that the matter was settled as soon as Kyle went to the teacher's chair, and they admired Kyle for a while.

"It's nothing, it's all a trivial matter." Kyle said calmly: "It's just that you should pay more attention when the time comes. Your current script is not suitable for those first and second grade wizards."

"Of course we know this."

"Don't worry, we won't take those little things away."

The two said it with certainty, but how much credibility there was in it was uncertain.

It must be quite high, after all, most of the products in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes have age restrictions.

And if they teach the younger wizards badly, Professor McGonagall will be the first to let them go.

Fred and George wouldn't do such a dangerous thing.

After a brief lunch, Kyle was ready to go find Professor Sprout.

Professor Flitwick has nothing to offer. The school owls have been specially trained, and their flying ability and endurance are much stronger than ordinary postmen.

There are hundreds of students who need to deliver letters, but for them it is just a few more flights.

As for letters, you can also use the copy spell. Professor Flitwick could do it alone and didn't need help.

Leaving the auditorium, Kyle walked toward the stairs.

But at this moment, Fox, who had been quiet since the end of 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 gone far.

Although they had already known that Phoenix was by Kyle's side during the previous battle, they also cooperated with him in fighting and used special phantom transformation to avoid two life-killing curses in a row.

But now that they saw this scene up close, they still felt a little incredible.

Because everyone knows that Professor Dumbledore raised a phoenix, and now it appears on Kyle's shoulder... Is this considered Dumbledore's choice?

In some people's minds, a picture of new and old wizards handing over to each other instantly appeared, and Phoenix Fox was the token.

Unlike the professor, the students' thoughts were much simpler. They simply thought the phoenix was beautiful. Fred also took out his camera and prepared to take a photo to be printed on their upcoming promotional page.

He has already chosen their names, so they will call them Boy and Phoenix, which should attract a lot of people to them.

"Bang!"

A cloud of purple smoke rose, and Fred frowned slightly as he looked at the photo in his hand.

There was a bright fire on top and nothing else.

When he pressed the shutter, Kyle was surrounded by fire and disappeared.
