Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 973
Just as Kyle thought, Amelia Bones really didn’t trust others to help keep the Horcrux.
And they moved very quickly. The letter had already arrived at Hogwarts before the holidays were over.
Still in the principal’s office, Kyle read the letter in his hand and returned it to Professor McGonagall.
“What do you think?”
“That’s quite polite,” Kyle said.
The letter was sent to Professor McGonagall, and the content was like two old friends chatting. Although Horcruxes were mentioned, there were only a few sentences, and it was at the end of the letter, asking McGonagall in a very casual tone. Does Professor Greg need help from the Ministry of Magic to keep those things?
Of course, both Professor McGonagall and Kyle understand that this is the focus of this letter, and other greetings and greetings can be omitted.
“Well, you know what they think for a few days, and I will reject her request on behalf of Hogwarts,” Professor McGonagall said.
It will definitely be rejected.
He already knew that the locket, crown and gold cup were all in Kyle’s hands, and that those things were intact, and there was no way Kyle could give them to the Ministry of Magic.
The Resurrection Stone Ring disappeared with Dumbledore’s death.
And the rune snake also disappeared completely after the war. It should have completely turned into ashes.
The only diary that could be sent out had already been taken out at the last hearing. They couldn’t take out anything now, so of course they had to refuse.
Professor McGonagall brought a piece of parchment and asked for a reply.
“Why should we refuse? As a righteous wizard, we must cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Magic and hand over the Horcrux to them.”
Professor McGonagall almost poked a hole in the parchment with her hand.
“No!” she blurted out.
“Huh?” Kyle was a little surprised that Professor McGonagall would object.
“What I mean is that the golden cup, crown, and locket are all things left by the Big Four. Even if they were once Horcruxes, they should be placed in Hogwarts, especially Ravenclaw’s crown.”
Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle and said seriously: “It would be terrible if this thing fell into the hands of someone with evil intentions, and the Ministry of Magic – to be honest, they have let people down many times.” “
What Professor McGonagall meant was simply that she didn’t trust the Ministry of Magic.
This is not surprising, look at what they have done.
First of all, Fudge insisted on refusing to believe the news that Voldemort had returned. In order to maintain his position, he would not hesitate to break with Dumbledore and cover up the truth.
And that Umbridge, such a cruel, vain, arrogant and unprofessional person, could actually become the Deputy Minister.
This is something that Professor McGonagall simply cannot imagine, let alone what would happen if such a person comes into contact with Ravenclaw’s diadem.
Although things improved a lot after Amelia Bones came to power and many people who were idle were eliminated, there was also a mutiny that shocked the whole of Britain.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic is really not trustworthy. If the crown is handed over to them, the Ministry of Magic may be stolen the next day.
Or you might not have to wait until the next day at all.
Professor McGonagall patiently tried to persuade Kyle, “What’s more, we can’t find the Resurrection Stone ring, but they definitely won’t believe it. It will only cause greater conflicts. It’s better to reject this request from the beginning.”
“Who says there isn’t? We do.” Kyle casually took out a diamond-shaped stone and placed it on the table.
Professor McGonagall’s eyes widened.
“Resurrection stone?”
“You can say that.” Kyle nodded, “I have whatever you want.”
He threw the second and third stones on the table.
Professor McGonagall reacted immediately.
“Is this fake?”
“Who says it’s fake? It’s real!” Kyle put away the extra stones, “This is the real thing.
,
“But the Resurrection Stone is not an ordinary stone.” Professor McGonagall shook her head, feeling that there were too many loopholes in Kyle’s approach.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” He casually took out a five-inch long tooth and stabbed it hard on the stone.
The diamond-shaped stone was broken into two halves directly in the middle, and bursts of white smoke were emitted.
“It’s no problem now.”
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
On the other hand, Phineas on the wall made a series of smacking sounds of unknown meaning.
But Kyle ignored him and continued to take out things.
golden cup,
crown,
locket,
The Sword of Gryffindor…-Oh, this is not it, this is what Kyle made for fun.
He threw the sword aside.
At this time, Professor McGonagall also picked up the nearest crown and put it in front of her eyes, looking at it carefully.
No need to ask, these must be fake, but they are also very real. She looked at them for a long time without seeing any flaws.
“How was it?” Kyle asked.
Professor McGonagall nodded, “It’s very similar, really very similar.”
Let’s put it this way, except for the special abilities of the real thing, these things are almost identical in other aspects, and even she can’t fault them.
“Of course, I made it according to the real thing, every detail is perfect.”
Then came the most critical step. Kyle picked up the locket in front of him.
Because this was the principal’s office of Hogwarts, Kyle didn’t want to be too arrogant and used Li Fire directly in front of Professor McGonagall and all the principals.
So he simply took out the Gubler fairy fire he got from Sirius.
This thing is also a magical flame, and the traces it leaves are similar to those of Lihuo. Plus, the thing Kyle specially prepared is even more like it.
Under the burning of the flames, the locket soon underwent obvious changes, and there were even cracks on the surface that glowed with black light.
There were even faint bursts of screams coming from those cracks, as if they were coming from far away.
Professor McGonagall just looked at it with a puzzled expression.
She had never seen what it was like when a real Horcrux was destroyed, but she felt that this should be it. The Horcrux was damaged,
The soul fragment roared unwillingly.
But isn’t this fake? Why could she hear the roar and what was going on with the cracks on it? Seemingly guessing what Professor McGonagall was thinking, Kyle took out a bottle and placed it on the table.
“I stumbled upon this while I was making these.”
Professor McGonagall looked over.
There was a gray powder in the bottle, and the temperature was very low. Even across the bottle, a layer of white frost quickly formed on the table.
“What is this?” Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully. She felt that she was a well-informed wizard, but she had no idea what it was, and she had no impression of this feature at all.
“This is what’s left after you kill the dementors.”
“Kill what?”
“Dementors.” Kyle explained, “When the rebellion just broke out in Azkaban, Cedric and I worked together to clean up the dementors for a period of time. After they were killed, they would leave behind this Something, and a cloak.”
Professor McGonagall was relieved immediately. No wonder she didn’t know, and probably not many people knew.
“What’s the use of this thing?”
“I don’t know yet,” Kyle said, “But I also found that it is very suitable for making dark magic items, so I changed my thinking and made three dark magic items.”
“Then the cry I just heard was——.——”
“Howling Spell.” Kyle said, “If someone opens this locket, they will hear a scream similar to that of mandrake. It is also a kind of magic targeting the soul.”
Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle, then at the crown in his hand, and subconsciously threw it back on the table.
“That’s a delirious crown, just don’t put it on your head.”
Kyle put down the deformed and twisted locket, picked up the crown and placed it above the fairy fire.
Soon, the bright crown was covered with a thick layer of rust, and the huge sapphire became dull.
It was custom-made by Kyle and looks exactly as it did when it was first found.
What stands out is rigor.
Professor McGonagall watched until Kyle destroyed the three items with his own hands.
“Give these to the Ministry of Magic.” Kyle pushed everything to Professor McGonagall.
“But——————What if they find out that this is a fake?” Professor McGonagall was still a little worried.
“I’m quite confident in my alchemy skills.”
Kyle smiled, “If this were the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in France, I would definitely think of another way.
“Because alchemy is popular in France, and there are alchemy masters like Professor Victor, he must be able to tell that what I make is a fake.
“But this is Britain and most people can’t even make a simple waterproof and moisture-proof badge.”
“What you said is really outrageous!” Phineas couldn’t help interrupting the two of them.
“What?” Kyle turned around and looked, “Am I wrong?”
“Just because you are right is too much.” Phineas muttered, and simply continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
Professor McGonagall didn’t hesitate long before she put away the things in front of her.
At least this is a solution. Anyway, the things left by the Big Four cannot be handed over to the Ministry of Magic for safekeeping.
“Only the runes are left, what are you going to do?” Professor McGonagall casually put the things on the shelf at the back, “I suggest doing nothing. What do you think?
“After all, when you killed the rune snake, many people were at the scene. Although they didn’t see it with their own eyes,
But he also learned the truth from Voldemort. Both Bones and Auror should be very clear about this. “
“That’s what I thought too,” Kyle said.
Among these Horcruxes, the Rune Snake was the least important one. Kyle left without even looking at it.
If the Ministry of Magic insists, maybe some traces of it can be found in Sirius’s Screaming Cold Drink Shop.
“Okay then, leave the rest to me.” After making the decision, Professor McGonagall picked up the quill and
I quickly wrote a reply and came to the window.
An owl flew over, grabbed the envelope and left.
I have to say that the Ministry of Magic is really concerned about Horcruxes.
Only half a day after the letter was sent, Amelia Bones, the minister, appeared at Hogwarts with Kingsley, the new head of the Auror Office.
When the students of Hogwarts were having dinner, they just walked in from outside and kept walking towards the teacher’s desk at the front.
“Amelia————.” Professor McGonagall stood up in surprise.
She was really surprised.
Judging from the time, the Ministry of Magic should have come here immediately after receiving the reply from the owl.
Isn’t this efficiency a bit too high? Doesn’t it mean that the Ministry of Magic is very busy recently?
However, Professor McGonagall did not show it, and enthusiastically introduced Amelia Bones and Kingsley to the students who were eating.
“Don’t be like that, Minerva.” Bones pushed the glasses on her nose, “I just wanted to come to the Three Broomsticks to relax, and I received your reply to me.”
“Really? What a coincidence.” Professor McGonagall said with a smile, her voice a little stiff.
It can be seen that she is still a little uncomfortable with this way of speaking.
Dumbledore is very sophisticated in this regard. He is very sincere every time he meets Fudge. If you don’t know, you would think they are old friends for many years.
Bones came to the Three Broomsticks, and what about Kingsley Shacklebolt? Did he follow him by the way because he wanted to have a drink?
This reason is a bit far-fetched.
And from entering the hall until now, Kingsley has never dared to look into Professor McGonagall’s eyes, and he can feel his embarrassment from a distance.
But Kyle didn’t think anything of this.
Although he was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it had been cancelled by Dumbledore.
And it was normal for the Aurors to want to keep Voldemort’s Horcruxes. If Kyle was the head of the Auror Office, he would definitely come.
Unfortunately, he was not the head of the Auror Office, and it was impossible for him to hand over the things to the Ministry of Magic for safekeeping.
“Miller.”
“Amelia, how about having dinner together.” Professor McGonagall enthusiastically invited the two to the teacher’s seat, and interrupted what Bones wanted to say.
“Of course, no problem.” Bones nodded, “Speaking of which, I really miss the dinner at Hogwarts. I remember that the last time I had school toast was thirty years ago.”
“It was thirty-five years ago. At that time, I had just come to Hogwarts not long ago, and I still remember it clearly.”
“Yes, you are right.”
When the two sat down, Professor McGonagall turned her head intentionally or unintentionally and gave Kyle a look.
Kyle also suddenly realized something, and he quickly finished the toast on the plate, stood up slowly, and left the hall naturally with several students.
After arriving at the entrance hall, he hurried to the headmaster’s office on the eighth floor.
Kyle looked at the shelf behind the desk at first glance.
As he guessed, the things he gave Professor McGonagall were still there.
Such an important Horcrux was casually placed outside like garbage—if Bones saw it,
she would definitely be suspicious.
Probably Professor McGonagall didn’t expect her to come so soon, so she didn’t put it away in time.
Fortunately, she reacted.
Kyle looked around the headmaster’s office and his eyes stopped on the tattered Sorting Hat.
He suddenly thought that since the Sorting Hat could hide a Gryffindor sword, it should not mind putting a few more things in it.
Anyway, they were all left by the Big Four.
As for whether it was real or fake…..that didn’t matter.
As long as it could reflect the importance of Horcruxes, it would be fine.
