Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 167 Dialogue
Hermione's words silenced Kyle a little, but it was a very real problem.

Since Dumbledore was able to arrange a brave game for Harry last year, no one can guarantee that this old guy will not do it again.

Not wanting to deceive the girl with false comfort, Kyle finally just patted her on the shoulder.

She didn't say anything, but in her heart, she began to think about the magic equipment suitable for her.

Along the way, the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, so the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't until they entered the auditorium that the two said goodbye to each other and walked to their respective colleges.

Looking at the golden red on the long table, Kyle shook his head helplessly.

Colin only came to Slytherin's long table to eat once during the last conflict, and then he continued to lead his gang of little ghosts at Gryffindor.

And Miller, the little fat man, since he came to Slytherin's long table last time, he must report here for every meal.

The always proud little snakes accepted this sweet-talking and clever kid very smoothly, and even arranged a seat for him according to Slytherin's rules, a seat in the middle of a first-year little snake.

If he didn't know that this little fat man's family has been Gryffindor for three generations, Kyle would have thought that this guy came from a branch of Black.

Back then, Sirius resolutely defected from Slytherin, and sneaked into the Gryffindor camp without looking back.

But now, this little fat man completely disregarded the eyes of the lions as if they were going to eat him, and threw himself into the embrace of Slytherin without the slightest hesitation.

This kind of rebellion and stubbornness, if he is said to be a Black, no one will believe it.

Withdrawing his gaze from Miller, Kyle was having lunch while chatting with the little snakes.

Kyle could see that these guys were excited about the Chamber of Secrets, but because of his denial, they all refrained from mentioning it.

But Kyle thought about it, and took the initiative to bring up this topic. He didn't want these little snakes to lose their due vigilance because they were too optimistic.

Ding Ding Ding

Kyle knocked on the glass in hand, waited until the attention of the whole long table was on him, and slowly opened his mouth:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I noticed that you are very excited about the emergence of the Chamber of Secrets. But here, I have to make my own reminder."

"First, I want to reiterate that I did not open the secret chamber."

"Second, Slytherins, please maintain your due vigilance, and don't put yourself in danger because of those illusory legends."

After finishing speaking, Kyle nodded, got up and walked to the cellar, leaving behind a group of Slytherins with pensive faces.

These little snakes are smart guys, so although Kyle doesn't talk much, it's enough for them to understand what they mean.

They knew that since Kyle had denied the identity of the heir twice in a row, it was obvious that he must not have opened the secret chamber.

Because this proud guy would never bother to tell the same lie twice.

This fact made them ponder.If it wasn't Kyle, who would it be?
The suspicious little snakes began to look at each other and ponder.

Kyle's warning, of course, will not be aimless.That being the case, what does the danger in his mouth refer to?
Kyle could guess the complicated thoughts in his heart when he could guess the group of little snakes behind him.

However, in this situation, it is of course a good thing to think more, which is why he issued a reminder.

I came to the cellar at noon, of course not to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break.

After all, he always felt that the quality of sleep in the library and in class was the best.

After walking to the cellar, Kyle went straight to the professor's office.

Dong dong dong

He knocked on the door first, and then waited patiently for the professor's response under the impatient gaze of the relief.

Soon, some unkempt professors opened the door.

After saluting politely, Kyle quickly glanced at the embarrassment on the professor's body, and then made a test without the slightest concealment:
"Are you busy with the work Dumbledore entrusted to you?"

The professor glanced at him suspiciously, frowned, and did not answer him directly:
"If you want to pay attention to these things that have nothing to do with you, why not think about how to get rid of your identity as the heir to the secret room!"

The professor's words are cold and repulsive.

But Kyle bent his mouth, and there was a smile between his brows and eyes.

Because the translation of this sentence is what the professor really wants to say.

The meaning of the first half of the sentence is that Dumbledore's matter does not involve you, so there is no need to inquire about it.

And the second half of the sentence not only showed his trust in Kyle, but also told him that the heir's reputation is not a good thing, let him get rid of his suspicion as soon as possible.

It seems that this kind of awkwardness and beating around the bush has penetrated into the bones of the Slytherins.

Especially the professor.

Even if he cared about it, he could say it like irony.

Well, Kyle admits, all of the above is bullshit.

Although the professor's words did reveal the above information, his original intention was definitely to satirize Kyle.

Thinking of this, Kyle smiled helplessly.

I really don't know how the professor's hedgehog-like personality was cultivated.

According to Sirius.Even the professors who had just entered school that year already had a solid foundation in satirizing people.

This is also one of the reasons why James had a fight with the professor in the first place.

Because whenever he approached Lily for various reasons, he would be mocked by the professor to doubt life.

Even if that guy pulls on his three friends, he will still be defeated by the professor.

Let's put it this way, the battle between the professor and the foursome of the marauders may be won or lost, but there is no defeat in the scolding battle with them.

Even if the fight is lost, the professor can always gain the upper hand verbally, and the four guys are furious.

No, not without failure.

The professor lost once, and that time, he lost everything.

Thinking about this with some regret, Kyle shrugged and replied indifferently:
"The suspicion on me will not cause too much trouble."

"Of course a smart person can see that I didn't do it. As for what I can't see, what does it have to do with me?"

After hearing Kyle's answer, the always cold-faced professor nodded and did not speak.

Looking at the professor's appearance, Kyle suddenly thought that it had been five years, and he seemed to have never seen the professor's expression other than indifference, anger, and frustration.

Does this also prove the sadness in the professor's heart?

For some reason, when Kyle was alone with the professor, he couldn't help but think of these unpleasant things.

Solitude is a garden, but there is only one tree in it.

This sentence was said by Anidos.

And the professor in Kyle's eyes is simply the best explanation for this sentence.

Because he is the tree that has withered.

But life shouldn't be like this.

He also needs a little sunshine, freedom, and the fragrance of flowers.

It's a pity that Kyle can't give him these, or no one can give them except that woman.

Burying these thoughts deep in his heart, Kyle asked the purpose of coming today:
"Professor, can you tell me more about what happened yesterday?"

The professor didn't answer Kyle's question directly, but looked at him carefully: "Why, do you want to play a savior's adventure game?"

"Of course not," Kyle said with a helpless wry smile, "I don't have the energy to do those boring things, but I always have to find out what this guy has done, so as not to be disturbed by him."

The professor nodded and said slowly:
"The so-called heir to the Chamber of Secrets petrified the Weasley twins and hung them on the wall."

"In addition, we also found a petrified myrtle in the women's bathroom on the second floor."

"Myrtle?" Kyle raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Is that ghost that is always crying?"

The professor nodded.

With a little hesitation, Kyle recalled it carefully, and then spoke.

"If I remember correctly, Professor, Myrtle is the girl who was killed 50 years ago."

Seeing the professor nodded, Kyle was a little strange:
"Why did the heir attack her again? Could it be because she turned into a ghost, which made the heir think that the first attack was not thorough?"

If this is the case, isn't this heir a little too strict?

The professor didn't answer him.

Apparently, the professors didn't understand why Myrtle was attacked again.

Let go of your doubts for the time being.Kyle continued to ask:
"Has the school discovered anything now? At 7 o'clock in the evening, it is the time when the little animals are active. No one has noticed the heir's behavior?"

What the little animal said caused Kyle to be glared at by the professor, but he still heard the professor's answer:
"No one has noticed anything abnormal. But this also shows that this is a long-planned attack, and the heir has made full preparations."

Kyle nodded, and then said suddenly: "The potion is green?"

It's a pity that the professor would not be fooled by such a simple trick, so he just gave him a hard look, but there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

Instead of answering his question, he asked in a slow, low but dangerous tone: "Why do you think potions are green?"

Kyle smiled and stared at the professor with a pair of big eyes, his face was full of purity and innocence, but he didn't speak.

snort!
Seeing Kyle's shameless behavior, the professor snorted coldly and ignored him.

But in his heart, he understood what Kyle meant.

It seems that even if Dumbledore's potion is understood through research, it will definitely be useless.

No way, this brat has already made it ahead of him.

The professor kept thinking about whether to tell Dumbledore the news and Kyle's intentions.

After being silent for a while, the professor finally decided to keep this matter in his stomach.

Kyle could guess what the professor was thinking, but he was also curious, how would the professor choose?
Telling Dumbledore or not telling Dumbledore actually had no effect on him.

After all, Sirius is still locked in the lake, so that old guy will know these things sooner or later.

But no matter what the professor decides, it will let Kyle further explore his thoughts.
