Chapter 970 Examination(1/2)
When Kyle found Professor McGonagall, she had just sent Professor Marchiban back to the room.
In addition to dormitories, Hogwarts also provides rooms for guests to live in.
In fact, people from the Wizarding Examination Authority come here once a year and are already familiar with it, so they don't need a professor to lead them there.
It's just that this is Professor McGonagall's first N.E.W.T exam after taking over as principal, so Class March chatted with her for a while.
After seeing Kyle, she walked over quickly.
"I heard the portrait said, are you looking for me?"
"Ah, yes." Kyle nodded.
"What's the matter?" Professor McGonagall continued to ask, as if she didn't know what happened, and the portrait that reported the message didn't tell her either.
"A not-so-popular guy came to Hogwarts," Kyle said.
"Who is it?" Professor McGonagall asked casually, but didn't pay too much attention.
This is Hogwarts, and they have no one to fear except Voldemort.
And now Voldemort is dead...
"It's Grindelwald." Kyle said.
Professor McGonagall stumbled and took two steps back uncontrollably.
Kyle transformed a chair behind Professor McGonagall in time to prevent her from falling.
Professor McGonagall sat in a chair, her face gradually turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Who...were you talking about just now?"
"Grindelwald." Kyle repeated again, "He came to Hogwarts. He is in the principal's office. I just sent him away."
"This is impossible!" Professor McGonagall blurted out: "He has been imprisoned in Nurmengard."
"What you said is exactly the same as Principal Dippet." Kyle shrugged, "Then let me say it again, it is always someone who can imprison Grindelwald, not the so-called Nurmengard Tower...
"
Then, Kyle told what happened just now.
Including meeting Grindelwald who suddenly appeared at the gate of the castle, and then the two went to the principal's office together, as well as the subsequent plan, there was no hiding anything.
Professor McGonagall didn't speak and kept listening.
"Oh, by the way, I still have photos here." Kyle patted his pocket, "I can make it later. Although Grindelwald looks a lot older, those of you who have seen him
People should still be able to recognize it.”
Hearing what Kyle said, Professor McGonagall twisted a handkerchief hard.
As a wizard who has personally experienced that era, Professor McGonagall knows better than anyone how terrifying Grindelwald is.
In terms of the influence brought by his name alone, Voldemort is far behind him and is not on the same level at all.
The only good thing is that Grindelwald doesn't seem to want to start a war with Hogwarts.
And according to Kyle, he and Grindelwald also reached some kind of deal.
"This news is too incredible. I need to calm down." Professor McGonagall stood up and said.
"Of course, I understand." Kyle said, "Professor Dumbledore's portrait also knows the whole process. You can go to him. He should be waiting for you in the principal's office now."
Professor McGonagall left in a hurry.
Kyle also returned to his cabin.
The first thing he did was to take out the negatives, develop the photos, and soak them in developing solution.
The whole process was effortless and every step was very smooth. It had obviously been done many times.
In a short time, a stack of moving personal photo albums of Grindelwald were completed.
According to their previous agreement, Kyle made a new photo album and pasted the photos of Dumbledore and Grindelwald on them one after another.
Dumbledore's photo was kindly provided by Kyle. Although it is not a collector's item, it can still be an exclusive one.
But when he turned to the last page, Kyle suddenly hesitated.
There were only two photos left in his hand.
In one of them, Dumbledore was showing off the woolen gloves and socks he knitted. Kyle remembered that this was the first time Dumbledore learned to knit gloves at Christmas a few years ago.
During lunch on Christmas Day, he showed off his results to other professors, and was photographed and recorded by a Ravenclaw who stayed at school.
Kyle later bought the photo for ten Sickles.
This photo corresponds to the scene of Grindelwald throwing the wool gloves out of the window with a look of disgust.
Kyle felt that these two photos were perfect as the finale of the album, but he was also worried that Grindelwald would become angry when he saw them.
After all, this action was taken at his suggestion. With Grindelwald's unreasonable character, he would definitely come to trouble him after knowing the truth.
With Kyle's current strength...well, it's not that he can't beat him, I just don't think it's necessary.
It's better for wizards to be harmonious with each other rather than waving their wands when they meet.
But...if Grindelwald couldn't see this set of photos, wouldn't his feelings be conveyed?
Kyle sat there, confused.
It wasn't until late at night that he finally made a decision.
As if it was to take care of Grindelwald, a centenarian, in order not to irritate him, Kyle reluctantly put away the photo of Dumbledore on the table and replaced it with another one, Dumbledore and the giant horn.
Photo of sheep.
Bighorn sheep, wool, woolen gloves... I hope Grindelwald can understand this hint.
He is so smart, he can definitely understand.
Kyle closed the photo album and went to sleep.
The pressure brought by Grindelwald caused him to fall asleep quickly after relaxing.
But he didn't know that the lights in the Hogwarts principal's office were on all night.
The next day is the day when seventh grade students officially start their N.E.W.T. exams.
As the principal of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall no longer needed to supervise student exams, but she still appeared in the auditorium on time.
Her complexion looked very good. From a distance, she looked exactly the same as usual. Only when she got closer could she see the fatigue in her eyes.
After breakfast, the students went to the examination room one after another.
In a deserted corridor on the second floor, Professor McGonagall also returned the photo album in her hand to Kyle.
"That's right, it's Grindelwald..." Her voice was hoarse.
Although that man had grown older, she could never admit his mistake. Grindelwald, who almost made the entire European wizarding world surrender, was really back.
"Professor, I think we don't need to be nervous...at least now."
Kyle thought for a while and said: "Grindelwald is back, but he is no longer the Grindelwald who wants to rule the magical world."
"You said the same thing as Albus, he said the same thing yesterday." Professor McGonagall glanced at Kyle.
"But he is indeed Grindelwald. We cannot remain indifferent just because of a guess."
"It can't be regarded as a guess..." Kyle thought for a while and said: "Yesterday I was discussing with him about the Horcrux. At that time, I deliberately mentioned Nurmengard, hoping that he would help there.
"Grindelwald agreed without thinking. This means that he did not intend to leave Nurmengard. After all, I did not mention a specific time at the time. He can only help at any time if he is always there.
"But if he still wants to conquer the magical world, will he still live in Nurmengard?"
Kyle said without noticing that Professor McGonagall's expression kept changing.
She felt that what Kyle said made sense.
Grindelwald's character makes him never act without aim. Since he agreed to Kyle, it means that he will definitely appear in Nurmengard.
However, Grindelwald has been imprisoned in Nurmengard for nearly seventy years, and this place reminds him of his failure all the time. If Grindelwald wants to make a comeback, he will definitely not stay there, he will only stay far away.
Far away.
But then it doesn't make sense.
There is only one possibility: Grindelwald gave up, and naturally he didn't care anymore.
Professor McGonagall thought a lot, and at the same time she couldn't help but look at Kyle.
One thing is that she did not just know what Kyle and Grindelwald said, but she had heard it from Dumbledore yesterday, more than once.
But neither she nor Dumbledore nor any of the other principals thought that Kyle just mentioned Nurmengard in his plan. Did it mean so much?
Oh, maybe Dumbledore himself should be able to hear what he said here, but it's a pity that there is only one portrait of him in the principal's office.
"Professor McGonagall...Professor McGonagall?"
Kyle's voice woke her up, and she realized that she had been distracted just now.
"What's wrong?"
To be continued...
