Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 723 The second undercover?

By the time Kyle returned to Hogsmeade, the sky had darkened, and the shop windows on both sides of the street were illuminated with bright or dim lights, making them appear quiet and calm.

Kyle was not in a hurry to go back to school. When he arrived, he stopped by Three Broomsticks to buy some drinks that were not available in school.

A vat of butterbeer, a bottle of pumpkin soda, and two bottles of cherry soda, Conner's favorite.

After Kyle finished ordering, he waited nearby.

Although it was not a visiting day, there were still many people coming to the Three Broomsticks. The bar was so full that there was no room left.

Not far away, two wizards were drinking and complaining about their current situation.

It can be heard from the conversation that they have been afraid to go to the Leaky Cauldron recently, so they chose the Three Broomsticks, which is closer to Hogwarts.

Everyone seemed to generally agree that Voldemort and the Death Eaters did not dare to go near Dumbledore's presence.

But this is indeed the case. At least so far, Kyle has not heard of anyone missing or being killed by Death Eaters near Hogsmeade. It is understandable that they would choose to come here to drink and have fun.

"This is what you want..."

Soon, Ms. Rosmerta came back, and the eyes of most wizards in the bar followed her. From time to time, they would giggle and drink a full glass of wine in one gulp.

This is the second benefit of coming to the Three Broomsticks. Looking at the beautiful and charming boss Ms. Rosmerta is much better than facing the old and ugly hunchback Tom. You can even drink two more glasses of wine.

"Rosmerta, another pint of mead!" someone shouted, "hurry up!"

"Wait!" Ms. Rosmerta shouted impatiently, and then looked at Kyle.

"Here's what you want." She handed over several packed bottles. "I really hope the visit day at Hogwarts can come sooner, then I won't have to face these boring people."

"They are all guests..." Kyle said with a smile, "They are here to send galleons."

"Ha, they are just a group of cowards who dare not face the Death Eaters and just want to escape." Ms. Rosmerta curled her lips and lowered her voice and said: "Such a big thing just happened in the Ministry of Magic. Those who have the ability Who among the wizards would come to drink at this time?"

"Of course, I'm not talking about you." Ms. Rosmerta added, "Dare to run out of Hogwarts at this time is also a kind of courage, although I personally do not advocate this behavior."

"You just said Ministry of Magic, what happened?" Kyle asked with a blink, not paying attention to the second half of her sentence.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

Ms. Rosmerta didn't seem to want to reveal too much to Kyle, "You will be glad that you have stayed in Hogwarts. It is probably the safest place now. With Dumbledore here, there are no Death Eaters." Dare to break in."

"Okay." Ms. Rosmerta raised her voice, "Go back quickly before it gets dark."

After saying that, she took out a bottle of mead and threw it to the group of wizards who were still noisy.

The wine bottle swayed through the air and was caught in the hand of a wizard.

"Hey, that's the drink I ordered!"

"I got it first, you can ask for it later..."

There was a loud quarrel in the bar, but by this time Kyle had already walked out of the bar and returned to the streets of Hogsmeade.

He walked along the path to the school, passed through the gate with a warthog carved on it, and then walked along the grounds beside the black lake to the front of Hogwarts Castle.

It was almost dinner time, and several playful junior wizards were hurriedly running towards the castle.

As usual, Filch stood at the door holding a strange-shaped instrument, checking every student passing by.

It was an instrument for checking dark magic items. If anyone was carrying something dangerous, the instrument would sound a piercing alarm.

"Where have you been and why are you back so late!" Filch asked evilly when it was Kyle's turn.

But he didn't stab Kyle with the instrument like he did with others, he just walked around him to check him normally.

In fact, not only Kyle, every seventh grade student can enjoy different treatment from him.

Filch is not stupid. He knows very well that these graduating seventh-grade students are different from others. They are not afraid of anything and have the lowest respect for school rules and professors. If they offend them, they may be beaten. Suddenly.

As for why Filch knew this, of course he had had similar experiences, more than once.

"Ah, I went to Hagrid's place," Kyle said calmly.

"Hagrid..." Filch let out a disdainful chuckle.

He looked down on Hagrid, thinking that he was just a stupid guy, but Hagrid was also called Filch, and they both disliked each other.

"Have you finished the examination?" Kyle urged: "I'm still going to have dinner."

Filch glanced at the instrument that showed no response. "Go in, but I will ask Hagrid later. If I find out that you lied... just wait to be imprisoned."

"As you wish." Kyle shrugged nonchalantly. He believed that Hagrid would definitely tell this lie for him, even if they had not communicated in advance.

Kyle first went back to the common room and found a notebook he had taken from the desk drawer.

Because I haven't turned it over for a long time, there is a layer of dust on the notebook, but this is easy to solve, a simple cleaning magic can be done.

When Kyle came to the auditorium, dinner had already started. The auditorium was full of people, and everyone was chatting separately, and no one noticed him.

Kyle glanced in the direction of the teachers' bench. As expected, Dumbledore was not there.

"Where have you been?" After Kyle came to his seat and sat down, Connor couldn't help but ask: "I heard Hermione say that you met Dumbledore's Phoenix."

"Did this spread so quickly?" Kyle ate a piece of jam pie. "I thought they would keep it a secret."

"Hermione only told me," Connor said. "She seemed to be curious about what Dumbledore wanted from you."

"Ms. Bones from the Department of Legal Enforcement was attacked by Death Eaters." Kyle lowered his voice and said, "Dumbledore needs to use the basilisk's special petrification ability to stabilize her injuries."

"Bones..." Connor thought for a moment, "Does Susan know?"

"She probably doesn't know yet," Kyle said, "but she should know tomorrow."

Susan Bones, a sixth-year Hufflepuff witch, and Amelia Bones is her aunt.

On the train to start school, Slughorn also invited her, but she stayed in the corner and didn't say much.

Connor sighed, "First Hannah, and now even Susan... I really don't know if she will leave Hogwarts too."

Hannah was picked up by her family a few days ago and has not come back until now.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Kyle comforted him and took out the cherry soda he just bought, "Here's this for you."

"You went to the Three Broomsticks?"

"Well, I just happened to pass by when I came back."

Half an hour later, dinner was over and everyone began to return to their common rooms.

Kyle found Harry and Hermione at the door of the Great Hall who were about to go upstairs.

"You're back so soon?" Harry looked surprised to see Kyle here. Both he and Hermione felt that something big must have happened to the Order of the Phoenix, and Kyle wouldn't be able to come back until at least tomorrow.

"I'll be back when I'm done." Kyle didn't explain much, just took out the notebook and handed it over.

"Is this the Potions notes you're talking about?"

"Yeah." Kyle said, "You can take a look if you're okay. I think it's still very useful."

Harry opened the notes curiously, and Hermione couldn't help but move closer.

"Look, this is the water of life and death. This is what we learned in the first lesson." Harry looked at the content in the notes and whispered: "It's so detailed... I wish I could tell you this earlier."

"Wait Harry, there's something wrong with this notebook." Hermione suddenly grabbed Harry's hand that was about to turn the page.

"Look here..." she pointed to one of the lines, "Use the side of a silver knife to squeeze the sleepy beans to get the juice... I remember it should be sliced."

"Yes, really?" Harry blinked blankly.

To be honest, he couldn't remember whether the book said slicing or squeezing, but since Hermione said it, it must be okay, after all, she almost memorized the entire book.

This is also Hermione's basic operation. Every time school starts, she has to memorize a new textbook. Harry and Ron are used to it.

"And here..." Hermione pointed to several other places again.

"The textbook says that you must stir counterclockwise, but here it says to stir counterclockwise seven times and then stir clockwise."

"Grass roots should be cut into evenly sized pieces, not strips, and do not need to be roasted in advance..."

Hermione frowned, and the more she looked at it, the more she realized that this note was completely wrong, and even completely different from what was in the book.

It's as if someone just fell asleep in class and wrote a half-hearted job one minute before get out of class ended.

If Kyle hadn't brought the note, she wouldn't have even looked at it a second time.

"As I said before." Kyle waved his hand, "The content here is different from what is in the book, so you don't have to worry about it.

"And it can also be guaranteed that there will be no problem at all if you follow the steps in the notes, and it will even be easier and more convenient."

"But that's not what the book says," Hermione insisted.

"The last revision of "Advanced Potion Making" was thirty years ago." Kyle glanced at Hermione, "You can't expect everyone to follow the steps thirty years ago without No matter how innovative it is, this is impossible.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Professor Slughorn. I can guarantee that he will not follow the steps in the book when brewing the potion."

"Yes, Hermione." Harry whispered: "Remember, last class you pointed out two mistakes made by Professor Slughorn in his lecture, but as a potion master, how could he even stir the potions?" Can you remember the number of times correctly?"

"But he gave me extra points," Hermione said. "You know, a full ten points."

"Ah, that's right." Harry thought for a moment and then said after careful consideration, "Do you think it's possible? He just...well, he's rewarding you for previewing your homework in advance."

But Hermione just turned her head and glared at Harry, and he immediately stopped talking. After all, he still relied on Hermione to hand in his homework on time, so naturally he didn't dare to offend her.

But Kyle didn't have this worry.

"Hermione, I believe the content in the book is correct, but it is just a reference."

"Memorizing what's in the book may help you get an 'O' in the exam, but if you want to get closer, you have to have your own understanding."

Hermione said nothing.

"Look here, regarding the grassroots treatment method... Kangna discovered it." Kyle pointed to another section of the note.

"The advantage of this is that it saves ten minutes of time, because the grass roots can react with the agent more easily after roasting, and they are also more stable, thus reducing the possibility of errors... At least my roommate Mikel, after learning this After the little trick, I didn’t make any mistakes in this step.

"At the same time, this discovery also gave her a lot of points in the assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists."

Hermione lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Kyle also knew that her personality had been like this for more than ten years, and it couldn't be changed by just saying a few words, so he didn't explain too much.

"Okay, I've lent you the notes. As for whether you want to refer to them or not, it's up to you to decide."

After saying that, Kyle turned around and left.

Harry glanced at Hermione secretly, and then quietly put the note into his pocket. His instinct told him that this thing must be useful.

Anyway, he can't operate the content in the book well. Now that there are other methods, why not give it a try.

On the other side, Kyle, who returned to the common room, quickly forgot about the matter. The reason why he gave the notes to Harry was just a matter of convenience. He already knew those things anyway, so there was no point in keeping them.

In the common room, Susan Bones was sitting in an armchair, crying silently, presumably after receiving a letter from home.

However, it could be seen from the fact that she was still in the common room that the Bones family did not seem to have any intention of picking her up.

But think about it, Amelia Bones was almost killed under the protection of so many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, let alone other places.

And the only thing safer than the Ministry of Magic is Hogwarts.

Not to mention Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are also famous in the wizarding world. No matter how many Death Eaters come, they can protect the safety of students.

Now I don’t know how many people are desperately trying to get into Hogwarts. This can be seen from the lively Hogsmeade village. Moreover, this is only temporary, and more people will definitely flow in in the future. Come.

It won’t be long, probably after the Daily Prophet reported the news about Amelia Bones.

By then, those students who had dropped out and returned home should also come back, if their parents are not idiots.

Of course, those who choose to go to other countries to escape the limelight are not included. For example, Midgen, who is in sixth grade, her father dropped out of school a few days ago. She was picked up in the afternoon, and the whole family moved to France in the evening.

She's probably in Beauxbatons now.

Having said that, this is also a good choice, at least it can ensure the safety of the whole family.

But most people don't want to leave.

At this time, next to Susan, Kangna and several other girls were comforting her.

Kyle looked at them, and when he was hesitating to say something, he suddenly thought of Amelia and what Dumbledore said at that time,

He said that he rushed over after receiving news that the Death Eaters were targeting the Ministry of Magic.

Kyle didn't pay attention at the time, but now think about it, who conveyed the news to him...

The only undercover agent Kyle knew about the Order of the Phoenix on the Death Eaters side was Snape.

But Snape had been attending school recently and had no idea about the plans of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and it was impossible for Voldemort to write to him specifically.

If you look at it this way, it can only be a second undercover agent.

And that person must have a certain weight to know in advance such an important plan for the Ministry of Magic.

But who?

...Malfoy?

It's possible, but unlikely.

Even if Malfoy, who was good at protecting himself wisely, had the idea of ​​betraying Voldemort, it would be impossible for him to take any practical action, let alone secretly pass on the news to Dumbledore.

They will only choose to regroup when the situation becomes clear.

But if not Malfoy, who else could it be?

Kyle thought carefully about the names of Death Eaters, but none of them met the criteria.

It couldn't possibly be the message delivered by Bellatrix... Kyle glanced at the common room and his eyes fell on an armchair.

If it was Bella's message, he would dip the armchair in marmalade and eat it.
