Chapter 575: Two Death Eaters
Chapter 575: Two Death Eaters
Harry's nerves had been taut until this moment, as he finally had a chance to reflect on what had just transpired.
He recalled being escorted here by Filch... no, it was a Death Eater who had consumed Polyjuice Potion.
The Death Eater was named Bartemius Crouch Jr., the same name as Percy's boss at the Quidditch World Cup.
This Bartemius had used his own blood to revive Voldemort.
Then Kyle arrived, and the Death Eaters attempted to kill him, but Kyle repelled them with a Fire Dragon.
Yes, Kyle had driven away a group of Death Eaters and even killed one of them on the spot. At that moment, Kyle had thought he was still asleep in his dormitory bed, believing everything he saw was just a dream.
However, the relentless pain in his leg constantly reminded him that this was all too real.
And then there was the sudden fog... after that, his memories became hazy.
The main reason was the mysterious disappearance of his glasses.
Harry had heard Dumbledore's voice, but due to his blurred vision, he thought it was just a hallucination.
Now, hearing Kyle's words, it seemed that Dumbledore had indeed arrived.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Harry asked.
He felt his mind was in disarray, unsure why Kyle had appeared here. Wasn't Kyle supposed to be participating in the Triwizard Tournament?
And since Kyle's arrival, it seemed like in the blink of an eye, he had suddenly appeared.
"How should I put it..." Kyle glanced at the increasingly frequent flashes in the sky and thought for a moment, "Weren't you taken away by Filch on the pretext of being a hostage in the maze?"
"He's Bartemius Crouch?" Harry quickly interjected, "Not the Mr. Crouch from the Ministry, but another one with the same name."
"Oh, Bartemius Crouch Jr.... You mean Mr. Crouch's son."
"What?" Harry asked in surprise, thinking he might have misheard.
However, this time, Kyle didn't explain further. Instead, he continued, "But the proposal to increase hostages was rejected before dinner.
"Coincidentally? Hermione and Ron came to the Champions' Lounge to look for you because they were worried, and that's when we found out you were taken away."
"And the Triwizard Cup was replaced with a key by Kakaroff, and I was brought here when I touched it."
"What about Professor Dumbledore..."
"I have a special method to summon his phoenix." Kyle said.
He looked up again.
At this moment, the flickering lights in the sky seemed to change faster, and occasionally, a loud rumbling sound could be heard.
"Okay, Harry."
Kyle didn't let him continue asking. "Let's go back first. There will be plenty of time for your questions when we return to the school."
"But Professor Dumbledore..."
"You're not thinking of helping him, are you?" Kyle looked at him in surprise, "Helping Professor Dumbledore against Voldemort?"
Harry silently closed his mouth.
Although he couldn't see Kyle's expression now, he could sense the questioning tone in Kyle's voice, realizing that he had asked a rather foolish question.
"Then how do we get back..." Harry continued, "Did you bring your broom?"
"Yes, but there's no need for it. Just grab my arm." Kyle nodded and said.
He extended his hand.
Then Harry grabbed the air in front of him.
"..."
"Okay, it was my oversight."
Kyle extended his arm slightly, and Harry grabbed his sleeve.
But just as he was about to Apparate away, Kyle suddenly looked towards the nearby bushes.
"Who's there, come out!" He raised his wand-wielding hand first.
Harry also took out his wand from his pocket, pointing it in the opposite direction of Kyle.
“A true champion of Hogwarts indeed.”
A Death Eater emerged from the bushes, dressed in their signature attire.
"You can't just leave like this," a muffled voice said from behind the mask, "or I won't be able to report back to my master."
"That's easy," Kyle said, slightly twirling his wand.
"Expelliarmus!"
The Death Eater seemed to sense something and immediately rolled and crawled away to the side.
The next second, the bush behind him was neatly cut in half.
Cold sweat trickled down Lucius' forehead from behind his mask. He had only intended to find an excuse to distance himself from Dumbledore on the hilltop, and he didn't want to be held accountable by Voldemort later. That's why he had sought out Kyle and Harry.
He knew Kyle could cast the Incendio spell, but how to put it, in such a wide-open space, the effects of Incendio wouldn't be as terrifying.
But he hadn't expected... Kyle to cast not just Incendio, if that strike had hit his body, the effect wouldn't be much different from the Avada Kedavra curse.
Now it seems that this fifteen-year-old student is equally unsafe.
The correct version is in Book 69! 6 = 9 + Book _ The first release of this novel.
Lucius was a bit tempted to run.
He was just here to observe, and there was no need to risk his life.
But just as he hesitated, a row of sharp stone spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, and Lucius, who was completely unprepared, was pierced through the palm of his foot.
"Ah!" He cried out in pain, trying to pull his foot out.
The next second, a wand was pressed against his head.
"Expelliarmus..."
"I surrender!" Lucius shouted, "I surrender... You can't kill me, you're Dumbledore's student, he would never let you kill me!"
"Hmm... that's true." Kyle nodded and lowered the wand in his hand.
Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was thinking about how to survive, he heard Kyle muttering to himself.
"If... I mean, if a lost 5X magical creature passed by here, like an eight-eyed spider, and you happened to be immobile, and you got hit by its venom, wouldn't that be more reasonable?"
Lucius' heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again.
Although he was certain there were no eight-eyed spiders here, he could sense that the other party didn't seem to be just talking.
There were no eight-eyed spiders, but their venom might still be a threat, and this substance could be carried around, as he had plenty of it at home.
"This is where Muggles live, there are no magical creatures!" he shouted, "You will definitely be discovered for doing this, the Ministry can investigate..."
"Avada Kedavra..." A faint voice came from not far away.
Kyle's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly pulled Harry back and retreated.
The next second, a green light flashed past him.
Reflexively, Kyle threw a Disarming Charm in the direction of the Avada Kedavra curse.
But the spell only severed a yew tree, and there seemed to be no one there.
However, this was impossible, if there was no one, what about the Avada Kedavra curse just now.
Without any hesitation, a wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking Kyle's side, and at the same time, he grabbed Harry.
The sudden appearance of the Death Eater wasn't important, whether he lived or died, Kyle didn't care, what mattered most now was the person hiding in the shadows.
The attack was an Avada Kedavra curse, and before that, Kyle didn't even know there was someone there.
Was it aimed at Harry? Or himself...
But no matter who it was, they couldn't continue here.
"Hold on to me," Kyle shouted.
Harry instinctively grabbed Kyle's arm.
"Snap!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the two instantly disappeared from their original spot.
