Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 679 Bellatrix and Umbridge

After entering May, the weather gradually becomes clearer, and the sky is as clear and blue as forget-me-not flowers swaying in the wind. 【】

Not long ago, Hufflepuff played its second Quidditch match and won with an overwhelming advantage over Slytherin.

Slytherin seemed to want to replicate Ravenclaw's tactics and use their numerical advantage to trap Kyle, who had the Firebolt.

But the problem is that Slytherin has no courage. Kyle relied on the speed of the Firebolt to easily break through the encirclement of Montaigne and others. The slow Nimbus 2001 could not even see his broomstick.

The entire game turned into his personal show, and the screams in the stands almost never stopped.

Half an hour later, Cedric caught the Golden Snitch under Malfoy's nose, and the score was fixed at 360:10.

It can be said that this game also handed the victory to Hufflepuff. Their score was a lot ahead of the second place. As long as they scored a few goals in the third game, they could win the Quidditch Cup. .

This also made the Hufflepuffs extremely excited.

But Snape didn't seem so happy. He looked at Kyle who was surrounded by the crowd in the stands, his expression gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After the players fell back to the ground, he snorted and turned back to the castle.

However, after this game, the exam was getting closer. The excitement of the Hufflepuffs only lasted for one day, and they had to continue to dive into the heavy homework.

The third day after the Quidditch match, which happened to be the first weekend in May, the sixth grade students came to the auditorium as usual to learn about Apparition.

"As we said before, everyone is free to practice," said Techros.

But most students are not very interested. Recently, every time they learn to apparate, some people have separated their bodies, and some even left half of their bodies in place.

Although Professor McGonagall managed to put the opponent together in time, this terrifying scene inevitably caused some resistance in most people's hearts, causing the progress to become slower and slower.

But there are still people who are not affected.

Tycross clapped happily as Connor landed precisely in the wooden circle five feet away with a crisp pop.

"Very good, no mistakes for five consecutive weeks..." He smiled and said to Kangna: "No problem, I think you have completely learned how to apparate. You just need to wait for the exam in a month. There is no need to come again. "

"Thank you, Professor." Connor said happily.

With envious eyes, she ran to Kyle on the other side of the auditorium.

In fact, after the first Apparition course, Tycross ignored Kyle. At the same time, he fulfilled his promise and gave Kyle a large bag of heavy candies.

But Kyle divided them all, and everyone present got a piece, even the professor.

"I learned……"

"congratulations……"

The two said at the same time, and then left the auditorium together.

"What happened to those fire dragon claws?" Kyle asked.

"It's all been ground into powder, and it's enough for me to use until the end of the assessment." Kangna laughed happily, took out a box and handed it to Kyle, "By the way, this is for you."

"What's this?"

"I don't know, Professor Snape asked me to bring it to you." Connor said.

Kyle stretched out his hand and paused, "Well...it can't be anything like frog brains and mouse spleens."

"How is that possible!" Connor said angrily, "How could Professor Snape give you that kind of thing?"

"It's not impossible..." Kyle muttered quietly.

He had just defeated Slytherin in a crushing manner two days ago. It was hard to say whether that stingy Snape would hold a grudge.

"Huh?" Kangna narrowed her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Kyle coughed twice and quickly took the box.

He always felt that Kangna had just guessed his thoughts... It seemed that he needed to continue to learn more about Occlumency.

As Connor watched, Kyle found the courage to open the box.

Fortunately, there was nothing strange inside, but a pile of eggshells and a complete horn.

Kyle recognized it as a unicorn horn at a glance, with the golden spiral pattern that only unicorns have.

Kyle was a little surprised. This thing is not cheap... and there are those eggshells.

There are six in total, three of them are silver and sparkling, like handicrafts made of pure silver. Only the eggshells of birds and snakes are this silver.

The remaining three are orange with irregular red stripes on them.

"The eggshell of the ash snake?"

Kyle was even more surprised. This thing was not common, and its value was not much lower than that of a unicorn horn.

Let's put it this way, this box of things adds up to more than a hundred galleons.

Snape gave him something over a hundred galleons... It seemed a bit wrong no matter how you looked at it. Could it be that today was April Fool's Day?

No, it’s been a month since April Fool’s Day.

Kyle scratched his hair and said, "Kanna, these should be for you..."

"Of course not," Connor said, "Professor Snape asked me to leave it to you."

"ah?"

Kyle looked at the box in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he seemed to guess what Snape was thinking.

The total of these things is almost over a hundred galleons, and the fire dragon claw he got for Kangna, the market price is just over a hundred galleons.

This time it was right.

Tsk tsk...

After thinking of this, Kyle put the box away directly, "Thank you Professor Snape for me. By the way, did he say anything?"

"No..." Kangna glanced to the side.

In fact, when Snape gave her the box, he told her through gritted teeth to stay away from Kyle.

But she didn't say this, and before coming here, she took away a note that came with the box.

"It shouldn't be." Kyle shook his head and said nothing more, "Forget it, I'll accept these things. Remember to thank Professor Snape for me."

"Okay." Kangna nodded.

"And this, help me give it to Professor Snape." Kyle took out a crumpled object the size of a palm.

"What is this, snakeskin?" Kangna took it and asked.

"Almost, this is the slough of a basilisk." Kyle said with a smile, "Just say I gave it to him. Professor Snape should like it."

The next day, Kyle was going to fish at the Ministry of Magic as usual, but as soon as he walked out of the common room, he saw Snape standing like a ghost in the corridor outside. As soon as he saw Kyle, he couldn't help but turn him around. He pulled down to the side.

"The basilisk is indeed in your hands!" Snape said gloomily.

"Don't talk nonsense, Professor Snape." Kyle's expression remained unchanged, "Professor Dumbledore dealt with the basilisk. I didn't know."

"Then what do you say about this?" Snape took out the piece of snake slough.

"Oh, I picked this up." Kyle said, "You gave me such a precious thing, I have to get something back...if you don't like it, forget it."

With that said, Kyle was going to get the piece of snake slough.

Subconsciously, Snape retracted his hand, leaving Kyle with no chance.

"You..." Snape stared at Kyle, his expression constantly changing, "Do you still have this thing? Give it to me!"

"No more." Kyle blurted out: "But Professor Dumbledore entrusted the basilisk to the care of Mr. Scamander. You can go to him if you want."

Snape's face turned slightly blue.

If he knew where Newt Scamander was, would he still use it to find Kyle?

"How about this..." Kyle continued: "I can ask Mr. Scamander for you to see if he has any extra snake sloughs. What do you think? I think he should have some more. Master, I will ask Kangna to send it to you when the time comes."

"No need..." Snape said coldly, "You'd better stay away from her!"

After that, he left without looking back.

Kyle looked at his whistling cloak and spread his hands helplessly.

Really, isn't it just a Quidditch match? Although the score difference is a bit big, he also gave Slytherin a ball and didn't keep a clean sheet. As for holding a grudge to this day?

"How stingy." Kyle muttered.

Snape suddenly paused before he could go far. When he was about to turn around, he saw Harry and Ron running down the stairs quickly with brooms, almost bumping into him.

"What are you doing!" Snape asked with a dark face.

"We're going to the Quidditch pitch." Harry whispered, "We're going to train today..."

"You should apologize before answering my question." Snape said coldly, "Five points from Gryffindor."

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Harry said.

"Not polite," Snape drawled. "Five points from Gryffindor."

"Well, I'm sorry, Professor Snape," Harry said.

"Yes." Snape responded calmly, "In addition, chasing and fighting on the stairs is prohibited in the school. Another five points will be deducted from Gryffindor."

Harry clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to punch Snape in the face, and glared at him with gritted teeth.

But to Snape's dismay, Harry finally held back and didn't do anything outrageous.

However, after being deducted fifteen points from Gryffindor, Snape's mood suddenly improved a lot. He ignored Harry and Ron, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, and strode towards the underground classroom. .

"He must be deliberately looking for trouble because of the Quidditch match a few days ago."

After confirming that Snape had gone far, Ron immediately said: "I heard that Montague and the others were severely reprimanded, and Malfoy, Cedric caught the Golden Snitch under his nose, Snape Furious.”

After hearing what Ron said, Harry suddenly became less angry.

The game a few days ago can be said to be the most exciting he has ever seen. Slytherin was more than 300 points behind, and his cheers did not stop throughout the whole process.

In order to cheer for Hufflepuff, he even bought a flag, and his hands were sore from waving it.

In comparison, being deducted fifteen points doesn't seem to be a big deal. They are already in last place anyway, and it doesn't matter if they lose fifteen points.

"The only pity is that they scored a goal." Ron sighed: "It would be great if the Hufflepuff goalkeeper could be more upbeat. If they could save Montague's goal, they would not have a single point. ”

"Yes!" Harry nodded in agreement.

Slytherin scored zero points in the game, which makes me happy just thinking about it.

"We have to hurry up." Ron glanced at the time. "It's all Snape's fault. The training time has passed."

"You're right, if it were any later, Angelina would definitely kill us."

The two looked at each other and ran outside the castle at the same time.

After everyone left, Kyle walked out and followed the stairs to the fourth floor.

Although Umbridge has left the school, her office remains, and the fireplace there is open for an hour every weekend to allow students to visit the Ministry of Magic.

When Kyle arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Cedric was already waiting.

"Why are you so slow? We are already late." He said anxiously.

"I can't help it. I met Professor Snape on the way, which delayed me for a while." Kyle said calmly, "And our working hours are different from those of regular employees. We just need to arrive at the Ministry of Magic before nine o'clock."

"That's what I say, but it's better to go early."

They passed the fireplace and soon arrived at the Ministry of Magic.

It was still the same as usual, with wizards coming and going filling the hall.

And because recently, newspapers would report news about Death Eaters sabotaging every few days, which made everyone nervous, and even more people came to the Ministry of Magic.

"The latest news, Death Eaters have appeared in the south again." On the elevator, two witches were discussing the latest news in the newspaper.

"This time it's that crazy Bellatrix Lestrange. She seems to be looking for something."

"Yes, I heard that she happened to encounter the attackers who were chasing her, and the whole street was destroyed by bombs."

"It would be nice if the leader was an Auror... maybe we could catch her."

Kyle didn't pay attention at first, just thinking it was Umbridge making false news again.

But when the witch came down the elevator, Kyle accidentally saw the newspaper in her hand. What he didn't expect was that there was actually a picture of Bellatrix on it.

When the elevator stopped at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Cedric was about to speak when he saw Kyle running out first.

He quickly reminded: "Wait a minute, Kyle, you haven't arrived yet..."

"I know." Kyle ran all the way to Chris' office without looking back.

Chris was writing something. When he saw Kyle coming in, he asked in a joking tone: "What, does the minister have any new tasks for you to convey?"

"Dad, do you have the Daily Prophet here?" Kyle asked directly.

"Oh, there." Chris pointed to an unopened newspaper on the table, "It was just delivered a minute ago."

Kyle quickly opened it and read it.

Sure enough, there was a picture of Bellatrix on the front page of the newspaper. She used her wand to repel the attacker who blocked her way, laughed and turned into a black mist and left.

"The Striker discovered Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater who had escaped from prison before, in Hampshire, and escaped after a fierce battle.

"Deputy Minister Dolores Jane Umbridge, who is in charge of leading the team, is suspected of showing signs of being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse. She has been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries..."

Kyle didn't think the photo was fake, because it was difficult for ordinary people to imitate Bellatrix's madness.

More importantly, he also saw Dumbledore in the photo.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, he did appear in the corner of the photo in a burst of fire. It seemed that he was taken there by the phoenix.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Dumbledore's presence that Bellatrix ran away in a hurry.

"Dad, do you know what happened?" Kyle asked, "There should be news from the Order of the Phoenix."

Chris glanced at the newspaper and then closed the door with his wand.

"I do know something." He lowered his voice and said, "The principal is looking for someone, and it just so happens that the Death Eaters are also looking for him."

"who's that person?"

"Bob Ogden," Chris said after a moment of silence.

"That name again." Kyle frowned, "Who is he?"

This time Chris did not explain, just shook his head and said: "This is a matter of the Order of the Phoenix, Kyle, although Dumbledore said that we don't have to hide anything from you, you can't help much in this matter. "

Chris didn't want to say too much about Bob Ogden. Kyle thought about it for a while and didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked: "What's going on with the batter? Why don't they let the Aurors go."

"Well..." Chris suddenly laughed, but seemed to feel it was inappropriate and held it back.

"What a coincidence, didn't you give Fudge an idea?"

"Yes." Kyle nodded. He did not hide this from Chris, and several core members of the Order of the Phoenix knew about it.

"That's it." Chris said, "Yesterday we received news that someone illegally smuggled two civet cats in Hampshire, so Umbridge thought there was something to do here, so she went there early this morning .”
