Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 687 After the battle

I have to say that it was really interesting to watch the quarrel between Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but unfortunately the scene did not last too long.

Voldemort also noticed the people coming out of the elevator. His eyes passed through Dumbledore and fell on Kyle and Harry.

"It's you two again..." he said in a cold tone, "It's you every time, annoying me again and again, too many times, for too long. Avada Kedavra!"

It was Voldemort after all, and the Death Curse was as thick as a poisonous snake swimming in mid-air. Kyle even suspected that even if Norbert, the Norwegian Spinyback Dragon, was hit, he might die directly.

But he didn't feel panic, and he didn't even hide.

 The next second, a big flashing red hand suddenly stretched out from the wall next to them, blocking the two of them.

 The death curse bounced off the big hand.

"Tom, don't forget that I am your opponent." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Of course I won't forget it." Voldemort seemed to have expected that his spell would not work, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But this time the death curse also ignited the battle again.

The water in the magic fountain instantly condensed into sharp swords and flew towards Dumbledore. The sword hit the half-remaining statue and immediately punched a hole in it.

But Dumbledore simply raised his wand, and there seemed to be an invisible shield in front of him, blocking all attacks.

Then he directed the surrounding water droplets and sent them back to Voldemort in the same way, and the power seemed to be even greater than before.

Voldemort had to conjure a shining silver shield out of thin air to resist. The silver shield surrounded him, and the water droplets hitting it made a low trembling sound like a gong.

Kyle's eyes lit up, he wanted to learn this...

Although Dumbledore's magic is also good, he still prefers this kind of substantial silver shield.

"Professor Lupine, do you know what magic this is?" Kyle asked softly.

"Huh?" Lupine obviously didn't expect that under such circumstances, Kyle would be in the mood to care about magic...but he still subconsciously glanced in the direction of Voldemort.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Lu Ping shook his head, "It looks like the Iron Armor Curse, but it is more advanced than the ordinary Iron Armor Curse. It should be added with ancient magic script."

"Okay." Kyle said. He couldn't help but take out his wand, first used the Iron Armor Charm, and then shook his wrist slightly.

 Golden magic words floated out from the tip of the staff, and then these magic words formed a larger symbol.

Kyle moved the wand slowly, trying to integrate the symbols into the iron armor spell.

 But at this moment, a red light suddenly flew over from the right.

The iron armor curse that was fused with the icons bounced the red light away, but it itself also shattered due to the external force.

"who?"

Sirius immediately took out his wand and stood in front of Harry, with Lupine protecting Kyle behind him.

 But the only remaining Death Eaters are still on Voldemort's side, so it's obviously not their fault.

Kyle also raised his head, only to realize that the battle in the main hall had entered a fever pitch, with various spells flying back and forth like a shower. The one that broke his armor spell just now was a large-scale magic from Voldemort.

Kyle glanced at the wall next to him that was hit by the red light. A big crater had been blown out of it.

Lupine also noticed this. He was a little annoyed that he had been distracted just now, but at the same time he was also a little surprised by Kyle's talent.

There are not many people who can use the Iron Armor Curse to block Voldemort's curse. What's more important is that Kyle is only sixteen years old...

On the other side of the battlefield, Voldemort's breathing had begun to become rapid. In contrast to the older Dumbledore, he still looked at ease.

 At this rate, victory is just a matter of time.

Voldemort breathed out a mouthful of fire, transformed into a huge snake and rushed towards Dumbledore, seeming to want to swallow it into his belly.

Dumbledore stretched out his hand and accurately grasped the snake's teeth. The snake turned into a long flaming rope, trapping Voldemort tightly.

 A burst of black smoke billowed out from Voldemort's body, and he couldn't help but let out a roar.

 “Master!” Bellatrix screamed, wanting to step forward to help.

 But at this moment, Voldemort suddenly broke free from the rope and turned into seven streams of black mist, flying around.

Although Dumbledore used magic to blast away most of the black fog in time, there was still a group of fish that slipped through the net and headed straight for the people in the elevator.

"Be careful, get out of there!" Dumbledore's voice showed fear for the first time.

 But it was too late.

The black mist easily bypassed Lupine and Sirius, and passed through Kyle's iron armor spell, wrapping him up.

Kyle felt his head buzzing, as if something was roaring in his ears, trying to get into his brain.

 But the next second, the roar suddenly disappeared, and the black mist also left Kyle's body and rushed towards Harry next to him.

 Then, Harry suddenly fell to the ground, covering the scar on his forehead, and let out a piercing scream.

 Harry's eyes turned red.

　　"Don't you want to kill me? Dumbledore?"

Harry opened his mouth, made Voldemort's voice, laughed and looked at everyone.

 “Whoever it is, come on, kill this boy!”

Dumbledore's face was as dark as water, and Sirius' hand holding the wand was pointing tremblingly at Harry. He seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to use magic and couldn't use any spells.

 “Get out here!” Sirius roared.

Voldemort turned a deaf ear and continued to laugh wildly, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes...a pair of deep purple eyes, like amethyst.

 For a moment, the redness in Harry's eyes seemed to fade a little.

Dumbledore seized the opportunity and waved the wand vigorously.

It was as if an invisible fist hit Harry, knocking the black mist directly out of his body.

"Damn beast!" Voldemort's roar echoed in the hall, and was just heard by a few people coming out of the fireplace.

 The fireplace on one wall suddenly lit up, and many wizards and witches poured out.

At the same time, Voldemort, who turned into black mist, flew to the few remaining Death Eaters, wrapped them up, smashed the windows, and escaped from the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

“He was here just now.” A wizard in red robes shouted: “I saw him, it’s absolutely true.”

"I know, Williamson, we all heard his voice." Fudge came out from behind, wiping his forehead.

"Sorry Dumbledore, we're late." He stepped forward and said, "Are you all okay..."

"You came just in time, Cornelius." Dumbledore checked Harry first, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and said, "You came just in time, he was scared."

"Good job, but you can't show your face now, come in." While everyone's attention was on the escaping Voldemort, Kyle hid in the elevator and touched the cat and leopard, and then opened his box .

 Mao Leopard jumped in immediately.

Kyle then walked out again.

"You are so lawless. You dare to come to the Ministry of Magic to act wild. It is simply lawless..." Fudge looked at the messy main hall and the broken magic fountain, and wiped his forehead again.

"Is there anything we can do for you? Albus," he said. "Anything you ask for."

"I think you can go to the Department of Mysteries and have a look." Dumbledore said. "There are many Death Eaters there who have no time to escape. Kingsley is watching."

"Oh, by the way..." Dumbledore continued: "They seem to have been stimulated in the Department of Mysteries, and they are always talking nonsense."

"This is perfectly normal..." After hearing that there was something to do, Fudge finally calmed down a lot and said with a smile: "No one knows what secrets there are in the Department of Mysteries.

“I know a stupid thief who broke into the Department of Mysteries and went crazy the next day.

"Oh, I almost forgot, now is not the time to talk about this. Delis, Williamson, you go downstairs and have a look at the Department of Mysteries. Albus, you..."

"I want to go back to school first." Dumbledore pointed to Harry who was unconscious on the ground. "How about we discuss what happened just now after Harry wakes up."

“It should be.” Fudge seemed to have just noticed that there was another person lying on the ground, and this person was the savior Harry Potter...

"Why is he here? Oh, Merlin, do you need my help in contacting St. Mungo's?"

"Thank you, Cornelius." Dumbledore shook his head, "Harry just fainted and does not need to go to St. Mungo's. Madam Pomfrey can completely cure him, but I need your permission to use a portkey. "

 “No problem at all.” Fudge breathed a sigh of relief.

Dumbledore randomly picked up a golden stone. Judging from the shape, it should be a centaur's leg.

He took out his wand and whispered: "Mentos." Blue light shone from the long stone, trembling in his hand, and then calmed down again after a few seconds.

"Okay." He put the stone into Harry's hand and said, "Whoever wants to go to Hogwarts, just put your hand on it."

Kyle was the first to hold out his hand, followed by Sirius, Lupine and Mr. Weasley.

 “Get ready,” Dumbledore said softly, “One…two…three!”

The messy main hall of the Ministry of Magic disappeared, and so did Fudge, and they flew forward in a whirlpool of color and sound.

 …

 After everyone returned to Hogwarts, Sirius immediately ran to the school hospital with Harry in his arms.

 Others also followed.

The campus hospital soon became busy. Harry was lying on the bed closest to the door, next to him were Ron, Hermione, Tonks and Moody.

"What happened..." Madam Pomfrey was so frightened that she quickly rummaged for potions on the shelf, "Oh my god, they actually have traces of being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse. This can't be the Imperius Curse." Bar…"

As she spoke, she glanced back at Dumbledore seemingly inadvertently.

Mr. Weasley sat next to Ron and asked anxiously: "How is he?"

"Fortunately, it didn't take long, and he should be fine." Madam Pomfrey came over with a bottle of potion, "But I still suggest that you go to St. Mungo's to check him again. To be honest, I actually He's not very good at dealing with the Cruciatus Curse... This is a tranquilizing potion, drinking it will make him feel better."

"Thank you." Mr. Weasley took the bottle and put the potion inside Ron's mouth with his wand.

Soon, Ron's frown relaxed a lot, and he gradually began to snore.

 Lupine also gave Moody some medicine in the same way.

After everyone had finished the treatment, Dumbledore looked at Madam Pomfrey and said, "Thank you Poppy, but can we talk alone for a while?"

Madam Pomfrey didn't look very happy, but Dumbledore was the headmaster after all. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said: "It's best to hurry up, the patient needs to rest...and so do you."

 “We will,” said Dumbledore, smiling.

"What's wrong with Harry?" Sirius asked impatiently as soon as Madam Pomfrey left, "He's fine, right?"

"Of course, Sirius," said Dumbledore, "He just suffered a little stimulation and should wake up soon."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Harry, who was lying on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and found that he was no longer in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

 “Where is this…” he asked hoarsely.

 “The hospital at Hogwarts,” said Sirius.

No wonder it's so familiar... Harry felt a sting on his forehead. Turning his head, he happened to see Ron and Hermione next door, as well as two Aurors further away.

"How are they?" He asked anxiously, ignoring the burning pain in the scar.

 “Don’t worry, everyone is fine.” Sirius reassured him.

"That's good." Harry covered his scar again, "What happened just now?"

 “This is what I want to ask too.” Sirius said.

"I guess that's another form of the Imperius Curse, more evil than the original Unforgivable Curse." Dumbledore said softly: If you give Voldemort enough time, he can fight through your body. "

At this time, Harry also remembered. He remembered that he was like being tightly entangled by a red-eyed monster, unable to move, but the monster could control his body movements.

"Thank you for helping me buy time..." Dumbledore turned to look at Kyle and said.

“It’s Cat Leopard, it has nothing to do with me.” Kyle said.

"I wanted to ask just now." Dumbledore's tone rose slightly, "When did you have a cat and leopard in your box? I don't seem to remember that there is such a creature in the Forbidden Forest."

"I borrowed this from Newt." Kyle said truthfully: "To help Harry learn Occlumency."

"Yes," Harry said, and he couldn't help but shudder. It was not a pleasant memory.

 “That’s it.” Dumbledore nodded.

"Wait a minute..." Sirius looked at them with a blank look in his eyes, "What does this have to do with Cat Leopard."

"Don't you ever read books?" Lu Ping gave him a disgusted look.

 Harry felt a little familiar. Oh, by the way, Hermione had looked at them with the same look when she was helping him and Ron review their homework before the end of the school year.

"Do you think I had a chance to read a book before?" Sirius said confidently, frowning.

 Lupine sighed helplessly and explained: "The cat leopard is a very special magical animal, and it can run even faster than most flying broomsticks.

“And their eyes. Blue eyes can see through the heart. They are born masters of Legilimency. I think it is for this reason that you let it teach Harry Occlumency.”

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "That's how I learned this magic. Although the process is difficult, it is very effective."

 Harry shivered again.

Kyle is so humble, it's not "harder". To be honest, he still has nightmares. Whenever he closes his eyes, a six-legged monster chases him.

“I’m afraid only you who are close to Mr. Scamander can learn Occlumency in this luxurious way.”

Lu Ping sighed with envy: "The cat and leopard are extremely rare creatures. If it were any other person, it would be difficult to see it in their lifetime."

Kyle shook his head and said nothing.

 Sirius was even more confused.

"But what does this have to do with what happened just now? Is it because the mysterious man is afraid that Cat Leopard will see the secret in his heart?"

"Don't worry." Lupine continued, "In addition to Legilimency, Cat Leopard has another ability. When its eyes turn purple, it can hypnotize its prey."

"That's it." Dumbledore said, "The hypnotic ability of Cat Leopard made Tom temporarily lose control of Harry's consciousness. I'm afraid he never imagined that he would suffer such a big loss with a magical animal."

Dumbledore wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

"But why is Kyle okay?" Harry said tangledly: "I'm sorry Kyle, I didn't mean anything else, but I did see the black mist spinning around you first."

"Because of Occlumency." Dumbledore's tone became much more serious. "Voldemort was in an extremely weak state at that time, and he couldn't enter Kyle's brain at all... But I guess even if he was in good condition, he probably wouldn't be able to do it. ."

“But I can also do Occlumency.” Harry said subconsciously.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the school hospital changed. Even Hermione, who had just woken up, covered her face and shook her head.

"I have a question, Harry." Dumbledore asked calmly: "Have you taken the initiative to learn Occlumency since Christmas?"

"No, no." Harry blushed and said hesitantly.

 Let alone active learning, he even returned the books on Occlumency to the library.

"That's the answer." Dumbledore looked at him. "As far as I know, Kyle's study of Occlumency lasted for three full years and has never been interrupted."

 Harry's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and was speechless.

 No wonder Voldemort returned in vain from Kyle, but he didn't even have the ability to resist.

"I suggest you do the same in the future, Harry," said Dumbledore.

 “I will.” Harry nodded.

Dumbledore is right, he needs to learn more about Occlumency to prevent what happened today from happening again.

 If anyone is hurt by this today, I am afraid he will never be able to forgive himself.

"Okay, that's it for today." Dumbledore stood up and said.

“But Professor, I still have many questions that I don’t understand…”

Harry wanted to ask something else, but Dumbledore shook his head, "Don't worry, you can ask the same question tomorrow. If we disturb your rest again, I'm afraid Madam Pomfrey will come to chase them away."

 “But you’re the headmaster...” Harry said.

“No, the principal’s words don’t work that well here.” Dumbledore said with a smile, turned and left the school hospital.

"have a good rest."

Sirius and Mr. Weasley, although they preferred to stay here, followed after hesitating for a moment.
