Chapter 686: Voldemort’s Suspicion

No one thought that the prophecy ball would be so fragile. It just fell down a step and was smashed to pieces.

Including Harry, he always thought that thing was quite strong, otherwise he wouldn't just put it in his pocket.

 He sat on the ground and stared blankly at the place where the prophecy ball shattered.

 A milky-white figure with eyes that seemed to have been magnified many times rose into the air.

  Harry always felt a bit familiar. Those iconic bulging eyes looked so much like Professor Trelawney in the Divination class... If he added a pair of glasses, he would be almost exactly the same.

 Then, the figure spoke, making a sound like a murmur,

 “At the moment when victory or defeat is decided, there will be a new…”

The voice of the figure was so quiet that Harry only heard this part, and the rest of the words were drowned by the crashes, shouts and screams around him.

 At the same time, he was also dragged to another place by someone.

 "Get out of the way..." Harry heard Sirius' anxious voice.

 Soon he knew why.

Two consecutive spells of different colors fell on the place where he was sitting. If he hadn't been dragged away by Sirius in time, he might have been finished.

 “Thank you.” Harry stood up quickly.

"Don't be dazed." Sirius stared at Bellatrix in the distance with a serious face and reminded him without looking back.

Bellatrix also saw the crystal ball being smashed.

 “No!” she screamed, casting spells on Harry like crazy.

Voldemort asked to take the crystal ball back intact, but now everything has been messed up, which Bellatrix cannot accept. Now she just wants to kill Harry... Maybe this can make up for it.

Bellatrix, who was frantically releasing spells, didn't notice that a ball of dragon flame had appeared above her head.

A Death Eater next to her quickly grabbed her and dragged her to the nearest door without any explanation, and fled the room.

Before the door was closed, everyone could still hear Bellatrix's heart-rending roar, "I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him...Master, I tried my best, don't punish me!"

 And their behavior of escaping also caused a series of chain reactions.

The Death Eaters instantly lost the courage to continue fighting and dispersed in a crowd. All those who had strength or luck fled the room immediately. The remaining ones were blocked by Sirius, Lupine and others who had reacted. .

 …

 “Haha, I’m so lucky, I caught the big prize.”

 Sirius came over carrying a Death Eater.

It's Antonin Dolokhov who just tortured Moody. This is really a grand prize.

 Sirius seemed to have used a full-body binding spell. He was now stiff and staring at everyone fiercely.

But no one present cared.

"I think we should keep him until Alastor wakes up," Lupine said.

 He was also carrying a tall Death Eater in his hand.

"It's MacNeil," said Kingsley. "A member of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. I should have expected him to join the Death Eaters."

 At this time, the battle was basically over.

 After realizing that they could no longer escape, the remaining Death Eaters almost threw away their wands and surrendered.

Two minutes later, Lu Wei staggered back to Kyle and flopped down on the ground, shaking off a large amount of dust and gravel.

Although the three-headed dog can ignore most spells, it cannot stand it if multiple wizards cast spells at the same time.

There were more than a dozen Death Eaters here just now, and Mr. Weasley and Lupin couldn't stand so many people.

There were burnt marks all over Lu Wei’s body, and there was a long and narrow wound on the far left side of his head. The blood dripped out and fell to the ground drop by drop.

“Thank you, Lu Wei.” Kyle touched its chin. Seeing this, the other two heads immediately came over. The three heads refused to let anyone go and almost started fighting.

Norbert also fell back to the ground. Probably because it can fly and has long-range attack capabilities, its situation is better than Lu Wei's, and it seems to have some unfinished business.

"It's really amazing..." Lupine raised his head and couldn't help but said: "I never expected that I could actually see a three-headed dog and a fire dragon in the Ministry of Magic.

"And what's even more incomprehensible to me is that they can be so... docile."

Subconsciously, Lupine wanted to step forward and smooth the charred fur on the three-headed dog, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, a huge head turned around and roared at him.

Lupine immediately retracted his hand and decided to take back what he just said. This big guy is not docile at all...at least not to people other than Kyle.

Other people also gathered around.

Harry found Cat Leopard in the crowd, walked over and bowed sincerely: "Thank you..."

The first time Bellatrix used the Killing Curse on him, Cat Leopard kicked him to avoid it... That kind of touch was all too familiar to Harry.

 Mao Leopard nodded slightly as a response.

 Then Harry turned to look at the three-headed dog and the fire dragon. He always felt that this combination looked familiar.

"This...could it be Fluffy raised by Hagrid?" Harry asked tentatively.

The three-headed dog is not a common magical animal. So far, he has only seen it once when he was in first grade.

It was raised by Hagrid, and was later used by the principal to guard the Philosopher's Stone... But in his impression, the three-headed dog at that time was much smaller than the one in front of him.

"Yes, it's Lu Wei." Kyle said, "Just in case, I just went to the Forbidden Forest and borrowed it some time ago."

Kyle patted Lu Wei's chin again and then opened the box.

“Okay, go back and I’ll prepare a big meal for you tomorrow.”

Lu Wei immediately began to drool. Norbert next to him glanced at it with disgust and was the first to get back into the box.

It's too narrow here and it's very uncomfortable to stay in. It's more spacious in the box.

Kingsley stared at Kyle's box without blinking. After the two big guys got in, he suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Mr. Newt Scamander?"

“He was my first teacher in magical animals,” Kyle said.

 “Good relationship?” asked Kingsley.

 “Well, not bad.” Kyle nodded.

Kingsley smacked his lips. No wonder he always felt that this box felt inexplicably familiar. It seemed that there was another person on the list of Aurors to focus on in the future.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Kyle, even Dumbledore trusts him unconditionally, and he is no exception.

 But the problem is that this kind of thing has nothing to do with trust... Let's put it this way, even Dumbledore himself, the Aurors cannot trust him to run around with a fire dragon.

Not to mention that Kyle’s box contains more than just fire dragons. Whether it is a cat, leopard or three-headed dog, they are extremely dangerous 5X-level magical animals. If any one of them comes out, it may cause huge panic.

 He can help conceal it now, and he is already betting on his future career.

"Oh, don't get me wrong." Kyle cleared his throat and said, "I borrowed these. The three-headed dog comes from the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and the cat and leopard belong to Newt. I will return them when the time comes. "

 “Oh…” Kingsley responded expressionlessly.

"Okay, let's get out of here quickly." Mr. Weasley said, looking around, "Where are the injured people."

"Here too." Kyle patted the box, "Don't worry, it's safe."

 Everyone turned their heads in unison, showing a very complicated expression.

Mr. Weasley moved his mouth, as if he believed what Kyle said.

 To a certain extent, it is indeed safe in that box...if you can accept being a neighbor with a three-headed fire dragon dog.

"What to do with these Death Eaters?" Kyle asked, "How about putting them in boxes too, that would be easier."

 “Well, there’s no need, leave it to me.” Kingsley said hurriedly.

As if he was worried that these Death Eaters would eventually become snacks, he quickly conjured a long rope and tied together all the Death Eaters whose wands had been confiscated.

 Then he waved his wand again and easily dragged the Death Eaters forward.

Kyle didn't say anything after seeing this. Several people came to the nearest door. Sirius and Lupine walked in front with their wands and opened the door carefully.

 Fortunately, the Death Eaters who escaped before were not waiting outside.

However, everyone did not take it lightly. Sirius and Lupine were still at the front to explore the way, and Kyle also asked Cat Leopard to join them.

After they walked for a while, Mr. Weasley couldn't help but ask: "Kyle, shouldn't you still be at Hogwarts? Why are you here?"

“Well, Fred and George noticed Harry skipping school riding the Thestral, and they told me, and I went to find Professor Dumbledore... who brought me here.”

 “We’ve been discovered?” Harry turned around and asked in surprise.

“Is there any problem with this? Most people just can’t see the Thestral, but it’s not like they can’t see the person riding on it.”

Kyle said, "And if you wait a little longer, Dumbledore will go and tell you that Sirius is safe."

 Harry lowered his head in shame.

Sirius, who was walking at the front, seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Lupine. He shook his head and signaled Sirius not to say anything.

Harry was indeed too impulsive this time.

 He rushed into the Ministry of Magic without any preparation, which made everyone passive and had to jump into the Death Eater's trap.

 Luckily, Kyle arrived in time and everyone was safe.

But what if Kyle hadn't come... More than twenty Death Eaters were not something they could handle. At that time, it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated.

Lu Ping feels scared when he thinks about it now.

 So this kind of thing must not happen a second time.

"I'm sorry." Harry lowered his head and said sincerely, "I will never do that next time."

 “You’d better remember what you said today.” Lupine said without looking back.

"Okay, Remus." Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Mr. Weasley came out to smooth things over at the right time: "Sirius is Harry's only relative after all, and it is also the family relationship that he has longed for for more than ten years... This is cunning. The mysterious man carefully prepared a trap for him.

“The mysterious man’s tricks are hard to guard against. Sometimes even we will be fooled, let alone the inexperienced Harry.”

Lupine sighed.

The truth is this, but some things still have to be said.

"Oh, right." Mr. Weasley changed the subject but said: "Kyle, did you just say that Dumbledore brought you here?"

“Well, the Phoenix took us directly from Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic.” Kyle said.

"Merlin, what did Dumbledore think of bringing students to such a dangerous place..." At this point, Mr. Weasley paused and subconsciously glanced at the box in Kyle's hand.

Well, strictly speaking, Kyle should be much more dangerous than the Death Eaters now.

He did not dwell on the issue any longer and instead asked: "What about Dumbledore? Why didn't he come with you just now?"

"Yeah..." At this time, Sirius, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but complain: "If he had been here just now, Bellatrix would never have been able to escape. That crazy woman is too dangerous."

Mr. Weasley nodded as well.

If Dumbledore was here, he would be able to reveal Malfoy's true identity himself... He had seen it just now. The platinum blond hair that could not be covered by the mask or hood, it was obviously Malfoy.

"This." Kyle said calmly: "Professor Dumbledore should be still outside the Department of Mysteries, fighting Voldemort at the moment."

 In unison, everyone stopped.

"What did you say?" Sirius almost screamed: "You-Know-Who is also at the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, I happened to bump into him when I came here." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore and Voldemort, us and the Death Eaters, it's fair, isn't it?"

Harry felt even more guilty, but no one paid attention to him at this time. No one said anything, and they continued to move forward after a while.

 Only this time, everyone’s faces were much more serious.

 The return journey went smoothly. They did not encounter any Death Eaters blocking the way. It seemed that they had already run away and did not choose to stay in the Department of Mysteries.

 Lupine has a good memory and soon led everyone back to the black rotunda at the outermost part. As long as they left here, they would reach the corridor leading to the elevator.

 But Lupine and Sirius stopped at the same time.

If it is true as Kyle said, outside this room is the battlefield between Dumbledore and Voldemort, is it really okay for them to go out now? Will it distract Dumbledore...

Before they could think any further, a door on the right suddenly opened, and the corridor leading to the elevator appeared.

Everyone was startled, but soon they found that the corridor was empty, and neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort was missing.

Sirius, Lupine and Kingsley walked out cautiously and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

This corridor seemed to have been bombarded countless times with blasting spells. The walls on both sides were almost shattered, the ground was covered with fallen stones, and there was a big hole in the ceiling.

This time, they completely believed what Kyle said.

 Fortunately, the elevator was not damaged, and Mr. Weasley stepped forward to give it a try.

 “It can still be used.” He turned around and said, being the first to walk in.

 Then, Harry, Kyle, Sirius, and Lupine also entered the elevator.

 Kingsley decided to stay here. These captured Death Eaters needed to be supervised, or it would be safer here.

The adults unanimously decided to send Kyle and Harry out of the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. Sirius hit the button in the main hall hard, "Hurry, damn, can this thing be faster!"

The elevator rattled upwards and stopped at the main hall amid Sirius's urging.

 But when they came out, they saw Dumbledore and Voldemort confronting each other at first sight.

“Oh, no!” Sirius said angrily: “Why are they here? If I had known, I should have let them stay in the Department of Mysteries with Kingsley.”

Kyle looked over from behind Lupin.

 At this time, the battle seems to have entered the intermission period.

Dumbledore and Voldemort stood on each side. The originally magnificent main hall was also damaged and became a mess. Even the statue on the magic fountain in the middle was smashed.

Not far away from them lay half of the centaur statue, and further away was a pointed ear and the head of the wizard.

 The Death Eaters who had escaped before were now kneeling in front of Voldemort.

"Bella, you messed up again, didn't you?" Voldemort stared at Dumbledore with his cold red eyes, "After months of preparation...my Death Eaters have let me down again... "

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Bellatrix cried, slowly crawling to Voldemort's feet, "Please, don't punish me..."

"Stop talking, Bella." Voldemort still didn't take his eyes away from Dumbledore, "This is the third time you've let me down, and you know what? Someone came back earlier than you.

“Although he is cowardly, he brought me some interesting news... You seem to be deliberately attacking Harry Potter who is holding the Prophecy Ball.

"And the one named Kyle is very affectionate to you...even the three beasts deliberately didn't attack you."

"No, that's not the case!" Bellatrix roared, with a look of horror on her face. "Master, you know that I am your most loyal slave, past and present."

“I used to believe this, but now, what you have done makes me doubt it...”

Voldemort's voice was so frightening that Bellatrix was so frightened that she fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

 “No, Master, I don’t have…”

While they were talking, Dumbledore watched quietly from the side without any intention of interrupting them.

Almost everyone in the wizarding world knows that Bellatrix is ​​the craziest Death Eater. Now she is actually suspected by Voldemort. This is really interesting.

And I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Dumbledore always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar... It wasn’t until he heard Kyle’s name that he suddenly realized it.

Kyle, it’s okay.

But he couldn't understand that this kind of alienation plot was too obvious. Even if Voldemort was suspicious by nature, he shouldn't have believed it so quickly.

 Or, are they acting for themselves?
