Chapter 734 Death Eater Processor
"I have fulfilled your request. Where are the things? Have you brought them?"
On the eighth floor of Hogwarts, a hoarse and deep voice came from a remote empty classroom, like the whisper of a ghost, which made people shudder.
"Don't worry, it's yours." Kyle took out a suitcase directly from the deformed lizard skin bag, placed it on the table, opened it, turned around and pushed it forward.
"Two hundred enhanced crackling and exploding balloons, no more than one."
Zuko's Joke Shop was closed, and Kyle had bought them from Weasley's Wise Shop, and Fred and George had hidden them in a hollowed-out book, escaping Filch's inspection.
Originally, Kyle had a better way, such as just getting a small box with a traceless stretching charm, but the Weasley brothers disagreed. They felt that it was too boring and not exciting enough.
Looking at the box in front of him, Peeves immediately flew over excitedly and clicked on it.
The number is indeed quite large, even thirty more. But he didn't show much happiness. Instead, he frowned and said:
"No, there are a hundred dung eggs as promised, why aren't they here?"
"Don't worry, the feces eggs are not as easy to transport in as balloons. It will take a few more days." Kyle explained: "And this time they have made some improvements to some of them."
"Improvement..." Peeves' eyes lit up, "It has become bigger?"
"No." Kyle shook his head. "They put some real stuff in it."
Peeves' expression instantly became strange, with a hint of undisguised disgust and heartfelt admiration in his eyes.
These two contrasting emotions fit together perfectly.
Although Peeves is a ghost, he doesn't know everything.
‘Fung Egg’ is just a name, that special taste is just prepared with various herbs.
Add the real thing into it... The students at Hogwarts will go crazy. With this devilish thought, you are the real Dark Lord.
Peeves silently gave a thumbs up, and then asked doubtfully: "Boy Kyle... No, Mr. Kyle, do you have any grudge against Hogwarts?"
"Of course not." Kyle said, "Don't get me wrong, I was just about to explain that those specially made dung eggs are not included in the quantity we agreed on, but are extra."
"Gift? What do you mean?" Peeves didn't understand.
"It's hard to say now." Kyle thought for a moment, "Anyway, just put them away when the time comes. When the time comes to use them, you will naturally understand."
Peeves scratched his hair irritably. To be honest, he didn't like Kyle's behavior of not speaking clearly. If it were another person, he would definitely ask the truth and throw ten more words on the other person's head. A few balloons of vinegar.
But now... Peeves held back out of respect for his peers.
He put away the box of balloons and asked curiously: "I really don't understand why you put that cabinet on the second floor and asked me to lure the little Slytherin there.
"Just for a cabinet, wouldn't it be enough to just give it to him?"
"If I gave it directly, he wouldn't want it." Kyle said, "What, they took it away."
"Of course, nothing is impossible if I personally take action." Peeves said, "They moved the cabinet away directly, and they laughed so happily that I could hear it upstairs."
"That's good." Kyle nodded and was about to leave the room.
"Wait a minute..." Peeves asked from behind: "You haven't told me why you did this."
"You'll know it then." Kyle waved his hand without any intention of stopping.
Peeves was so angry that he scratched his head in mid-air, but there was nothing he could do about Kyle.
Kyle is his largest weapons supplier, especially now that Zuko has closed down, and the little wizard has fewer and fewer prank products. At the Halloween party, he even threw away all the inventory.
Now the only one who can get a lot of balloons is Kyle, so he can't be offended easily.
Peeves angrily grabbed a handful of balloons from the box, opened the door and flew downstairs.
He had to guard the door of the Hufflepuff common room. Only when the little wizard typed the wrong password could he take the opportunity to fill the balloon with vinegar.
However, Hufflepuff's password is really not difficult. Generally, if you type it twice, you won't make any mistakes again.
So in order to speed up the progress, Peeves usually deliberately makes some noise to distract the little wizards when they are knocking out the password.
For first-year students, this trick works every time.
…
On the other side, Kyle, who left the classroom, did not go back to the dormitory. Instead, he circled around the eighth floor and came to the door of the principal's office.
"Sour popping candy." Kyle said, and the gargoyle jumped aside, revealing a moving spiral staircase behind him.
Kyle walked up to the oak door with familiarity. He knocked on the door, but there was no response from me.
It looks like Dumbledore should have gone out again.
However, Kyle did not leave because of this. Instead, he took out his wand and pointed it at the brass knocker on the door.
"Separate left and right!"
The door knocker turned into two fire dragons, each flying towards one side.
Then Kyle opened the door and walked in as skillfully as if he had returned to his own home.
As expected, Dumbledore isn't here.
The portraits on the wall opened their eyes when they heard the movement.
"It's you again..." Phineas was the first to speak: "This is the principal's office, how could you, a student, just barge in like this!"
"Correction, Principal Black." Kyle said, "I didn't break in, I opened the door and walked in, just like opening the door with a key."
"Even if you say so, you can't... Ouch!" Phineas suddenly flew out of his frame and landed on the grass next door.
"He must have something to see Dumbledore, don't cause trouble!" Principal Dippet said as he kicked Phineas away.
But Kyle doubted whether he did it on purpose, just because he wanted to kick the opponent.
"That's right," Kyle nodded and said, "Then do you know where Professor Dumbledore is?"
"Well, I don't know." Principal Dippet said.
"Ha, of course you don't know that, you bastard." Phineas swooped in front of Dippet, raised his arms and prepared to avenge the kick just now.
But Dippet had already guessed that he would do this, and turned around to grapple with him, not caring that Kyle was still watching.
Maybe it's because this isn't the first time, and the other principals also look like they're not surprised.
"So, do you have something important to do with Dumbledore?" A gray-haired witch came to the frame closest to Kyle and asked, using her body to block the two principals who were pulling each other's hair.
"It's not particularly important," Kyle said, "It's just that I thought of the ways Voldemort might attack Hogwarts. I'll talk about it next time."
The headmistress was silent for a moment.
"Just wait a moment..."
She turned around and walked to Dippet and Phineas, who were anxious about the battle, took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her fist.
The next scene was blocked by a knight, and only a clanking sound could be heard.
But two minutes later, Kyle saw Phineas again, and there was a clear fist mark on his face.
"Well, actually Dumbledore is at No. 12 Grimmauld Place." Phineas said, "I have already gone to inform him, and he should be back soon..."
…
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a small sound coming from around him.
Dumbledore came back, with crumbs still hanging from his beard that he hadn't had time to wipe off.
"Mrs. Weasley was so enthusiastic...she insisted I try those freshly baked buns, but they tasted really good."
Dumbledore sat behind the table and asked, "I heard Phineas say that you have something important to ask me?"
"So be it." Kyle said, "I probably know how Draco Malfoy wants to help Voldemort enter Hogwarts."
"What?" Dumbledore was startled for a moment, then coughed lightly, "This is a very serious accusation. If there is no evidence..."
"Okay, then get rid of the name." Kyle shrugged indifferently, not paying attention to Dumbledore's thoughts, and said directly:
"It's the vanishing cabinet."
"Vanishing cabinet?" Dumbledore pushed up his glasses. As a master of alchemy, he naturally knew the function of the display cabinet.
That thing is like a materialized phantom. There are two of them. As long as you enter one of the cabinets and close the door, you can come out of the other cabinet.
Although it was fixed, unlike Apparition, the Vanishing Cabinet was not affected by any restrictions. He had used it many times when he was young, and it was particularly convenient.
The only drawback is that this thing is very rare, even more precious than the Mirror of Erised. Among all the alchemists now, only Nicoléme is probably the one who can make it.
"You mean that Voldemort got two precious vanishing cabinets and brought one of them to the school?" Dumbledore's expression gradually became serious.
"It's not Voldemort, it's Mal...well, it's another person." Kyle said, "And there's no need to get it here, it's already in the school."
"You mean... the disappearing cabinet that was broken by Peeves?" Dumbledore quickly thought of something and frowned:
"But there is only one cabinet. I also tried to enter the disappearing cabinet, but there was no response. Maybe the other cabinet no longer exists."
Of course Dumbledore knew that there was a vanishing cabinet in the school, but two of these things needed to be used together, and one was useless at all.
"It might just be broken." Kyle said, "It's difficult to make a disappearing cabinet, but it's much easier to just repair it, and even I can do it.
"I repaired the cabinet that Peeves broke before."
Dumbledore's eye twitched.
He had deliberately ignored it before.
As an alchemist, Dumbledore would definitely not be willing to destroy such a precious magic item even if he knew there were hidden dangers. Peeves was indirectly doing a favor by throwing it.
But he didn't expect that this thing would be discovered by Kyle and even repaired.
Kyle didn't notice the change in Dumbledore's expression and continued: "I noticed someone was looking for something, so I tentatively put the disappearing cabinet there. I didn't expect that he really took it away, and it was like Looking very happy."
"Forget it, just tell me your name." Dumbledore rubbed his forehead, "When did you discover Draco Malfoy? Not many people should know about it."
"It was just after I went to Hogsmeade last time." Kyle said, "It's just that Professor Snape insisted on protecting him. Connor thought he might have some plan, so I didn't care about it anymore."
"Mr. Malfoy got that dark magic necklace to deal with you." Dumbledore's blue eyes stared at Kyle unblinkingly, "Just because Miss Prince begged for mercy, you let him go? "
"Isn't this reason enough?" Kyle spread his hands, "Connor trusts Professor Snape, just like I trust Connor, and I don't want to embarrass her.
"Besides, didn't Malfoy give up his plan voluntarily later? It can be regarded as a return to his lost ways. I have no reason to persist anymore."
Dumbledore suddenly smiled, and smiled happily, as if Voldemort's plan suddenly became less important.
He waved his hand, and immediately there was a teapot, an exquisite silver tea can, and two cups on the table.
"Would you like something to drink? You can talk about other things slowly."
"If possible." Kyle thought for a moment, "Can you have a glass of Phoenix Tears' special blend of Elixir Golden Mead? I've always wanted to taste what it tastes like."
Dumbledore's hand paused for a moment, then as if he didn't hear anything, he picked up the tea can and carefully pinched a few tea leaves from it.
"Try this, it's no worse than the golden mead of the Three Broomsticks." He put the tea leaves into the cup and poured hot water on it. "This was given to me by an old friend when I was a hundred years old. , I have always been reluctant to drink.
"In my opinion, this is the greatest gift I have ever received, more precious than the Felixir."
Kyle took a sip of it doubtfully. It tasted really good, much better than the black tea he had drunk in the principal's office before.
But what's good about it may be due to his experience, he can't drink it.
Kyle moved his fingers to let the tea cool down quickly and drank it in one gulp.
This set of actions made Dumbledore's lips twitch.
What a waste... He shouldn't have given Kyle such a good thing.
Dumbledore tried to calm down and asked, "Tell me what you think."
"It's very simple." Kyle poured some more water into the teacup. "Malfoy took the vanishing cabinet away because he found another one and was sure he could fix it.
"At that time, Death Eaters will be able to enter Hogwarts from other places through the two cabinets."
"Then what are we going to do?" Dumbledore asked: "I guess you have other ideas. Otherwise, there is no need for you to give him the cabinet that was finally repaired."
"I have an immature suggestion..." Kyle picked up the tea can on the table. Just when he was about to take a closer look, Dumbledore snatched it back quickly.
"If you have something to say, say it directly and don't touch it."
"Okay." Kyle didn't care, "That's what I thought. Instead of asking him to think of other ways, it's better to just give him a ready answer.
"Although the disappearing cabinet is convenient, it has a big limitation. If Death Eaters choose to enter the school this way, they will definitely come out of the cabinet.
"At that time, we only need to put the basilisk right in front of the cabinet. We don't need to do anything else, and we will be able to catch all the Death Eaters."
The principals in the portrait looked at Kyle one after another...
Put the basilisk in front of the disappearing cabinet? They can already picture it.
The Death Eater ambitiously opened the Vanishing Cabinet and was about to start a fight, when he saw a pair of yellow eyes.
This was simply a large-scale Death Eater processor. They simply couldn't imagine it. This was said in an understatement by a teenage wizard.
But Dumbledore didn't seem to react at all, and even thought about it carefully for a while.
"Inappropriate." He shook his head, "The target of the basilisk is too big. If there is only one Death Eater, this method is okay, but when there are too many, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will pass the news back.
"And many of the Death Eaters are afraid of Voldemort and have to work for him. Some of them are even controlled by the Imperius Curse. We cannot use basilisks to deal with them."
"Then find a few people to guard it." Kyle continued: "The disappearing cabinet is so big. Only one person can come out at a time. As long as you cooperate well, it will not be difficult to subdue them immediately."
"This is a good idea." Dumbledore nodded, "But I think it would be good to set up some magic traps in advance. At least it can save some manpower and don't have to guard them all the time."
