Chapter 108: Bored and Teasing Children
Chapter 108: Bored and Teasing Children
The Aurors had been searching through the pile of leaves for a long time, but in the end, they only found half a shoe sole with a tooth mark on it.
He had been kicking the Snapdragons with his feet, and his shoe was probably bitten at that time. Then, when he ran away, it just happened to fall beside him.
Of course, it was also possible that he had left it there on purpose.
Auror Had stood there, his face dark as if water could drip from it, and he had already anticipated what he would face next.
Not capturing the suspect was already a dereliction of duty, and with Oren's previous words, he was undoubtedly set up to take the fall.
The Ministry of Magic would definitely push all the blame for not capturing the suspect onto him, especially that pink toad...
To appease certain people's anger, demotion would be the lightest punishment.
Had roared at the Aurors to search for Oren's traces nearby, and the Centaurs wanted to stop him, but he forced them back with his wand.
"That's an important criminal of the Ministry of Magic. If any of you dare to stop the search, you'll all be treated as co-conspirators!"
Under his threat, the Centaurs were furious but dared not speak.
But none of this mattered to Kyle anymore.
Professor McGonagall arrived.
Her face was extremely unpleasant, and Kyle had never seen her so angry. Her lips were pale, tightly pursed into a straight line.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor actually wanted to kill a student? Professor McGonagall had never imagined that such a terrible thing would happen at Hogwarts.
When Dumbledore hired Oren, did he leave his brain on the perch where the fox lived? Professor McGonagall quickly scanned the surroundings and then walked quickly to Kyle's side and asked, "Are you okay, Kyle? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine, Professor," Kyle said. "Thanks to the Centaurs and the Aurors, Oren didn't have time to do anything before they drove him away."
The surrounding Aurors were first stunned, and then they couldn't hide their joy.
With Kyle's lighthearted words, the outcome of the incident changed from previous mishandling and releasing the suspect to successfully rescuing a student from the dangerous hands of a Dark Wizard.
As a result, not only were they blameless, but they also...
Well, they were blameless, and that was all that mattered.
The Aurors came over one after another, like concerned neighbors, asking about Kyle's physical condition and if he felt uncomfortable anywhere.
Had was the most enthusiastic, and after confirming that Kyle was fine, he also assured that the Ministry of Magic would take full responsibility for the impact and losses caused by this incident and provide corresponding compensation.
When he said this, he naturally winked at Kyle.
Kyle understood instantly, but his expression remained calm on the surface.
It seemed that his flower garden could be slightly expanded next year.
Unlike the Aurors, Professor McGonagall obviously didn't believe Kyle's words. The entire area of the Forbidden Forest was almost turned into ruins, with traces of magic everywhere, and fallen trees were visible everywhere. This chaotic scene didn't seem like nothing had happened at all.
However, Professor McGonagall didn't say anything. She only cared about Kyle's safety.
At this time, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also arrived.
Looking at the surrounding scene, Professor Flitwick clenched his chest tightly, and Professor Sprout's eyes turned red as if she was about to cry.
After that, Professor McGonagall drove away the eager Aurors and prepared to take him back to the castle.
"By the way, Professor McGonagall,"
Before leaving, Kyle pointed in a direction and said, "There's a witch in that tree. She's an illegal Animagus who has been disguising herself as Conna's pet and hiding by her side."
Professor McGonagall suddenly froze, "An Animagus?"
"Yes," Kyle continued, "And after her identity was exposed, she attacked me. Most of the curses around here were cast by her."
"Merlin..."
The sheer amount of information was overwhelming for Professor McGonagall at the moment.
She hadn't even figured out the matter with Olren yet, and now there was an illegal Animagus to deal with. Why were there so many strange occurrences at Hogwarts this year!
But now that she knew, Professor McGonagall naturally wouldn't let it go. She took Kyle, along with two other professors, to the tree.
By this time, the witch had already fainted, and the two Aurors had just pulled her out of the pit.
Looking at her pitiful state, Professor Flitwick gasped.
"Child, was this your doing?"
"I didn't mean to," Kyle said, lowering his head. "I just didn't expect her to be so weak."
Then, Kyle briefly recounted the previous events.
He deliberately skipped the very beginning and went straight to the release of the first Softening Charm. After that, there was nothing to hide, so he just told the truth.
The more Professor Flitwick listened, the brighter his eyes became. He looked at Kyle as if he were seeing a rising star in the Dueling Club.
However, due to the occasion, he couldn't show too much excitement. He just patted Kyle's arm.
The error-free version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
He had already started considering whether to restart the Dueling Club.
Professor McGonagall, on the other hand, wasn't thinking as much. She just wanted to get Kyle and the witch back to the castle as soon as possible.
An Animagus hiding among the students—this matter had to be thoroughly investigated. She didn't trust the Ministry of Magic to handle it.
Professor McGonagall found Had and said, "This witch is related to our students. I need to take her away."
Had furrowed his brows. He actually didn't want to let her go. After all, this witch was their only catch. If Professor McGonagall took her away, he would only have half a shoe sole to report.
But the problem was that all three Heads of Hogwarts were present, so he couldn't refuse. Not to mention what had just happened.
Had hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to Professor McGonagall's request.
"Only half a day, Professor McGonagall," Had reminded her. "Early tomorrow morning, we will come to Hogwarts to take her back to the Ministry of Magic."
Professor McGonagall nodded and took the witch away with her wand.
...
Many people were gathered at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, stretching their necks and staring intently in the direction of the forest.
"Look, Professor McGonagall is coming out!" someone suddenly shouted.
Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Conna rushed out from the crowd and quickly ran to Kyle's side.
"You, are you okay?"
Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly having just cried.
"Ah, I'm fine," Kyle said with a wooden expression. "Although I've turned into a ghost now, I feel pretty good."
"Huh?"
Conna pouted, and tears immediately flowed from her eyes.
"Nonsense!"
Professor McGonagall tapped Kyle and wiped the little girl's tears, sighing in exasperation. "Look carefully, does he look like a ghost?"
...
Thanks to the 500-coin reward from the Lecherous God! (Very loud)
