Chapter 579 Karkaroff's Strange Behavior

Kyle's words suddenly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the principal's office. Even Dumbledore, who had always been serious, couldn't help but laugh.

But I have to say, the idea is really tempting.

"Alastor, Kyle is only in fifth grade this year." Dumbledore said, "Let's wait until he graduates to talk about this."

"Maybe you are right, Dumbledore." Professor Moody glanced at Kyle and took the initiative to change the subject: "Do I need to tell Fudge about this? He shouldn't have left yet."

"Of course." Dumbledore said: "Voldemort's comeback is related to the safety of the entire magical world. Just a few of us can't do much."

"Severus." He turned to Snape, "Please go to the grounds, find our Minister, and bring him to this office. We need to have a chat."

Snape nodded silently and quickly left the room.

"Professor," Kyle said suddenly, "I don't think Fudge wants to hear this news.

"Moreover, if there is no definite evidence that can show Voldemort's identity, your conversation will definitely end on bad terms."

"Maybe you are right. No one wants to hear about Voldemort's comeback. I have no doubt about it."

Dumbledore said calmly, "But as I said just now, there is nothing we can do against Voldemort."

"Dumbledore, have you caught any Death Eaters?" Professor Moody asked.

"It's a pity." Dumbledore shook his head, "They ran very fast, and I couldn't be distracted at the time."

Everyone's mood became heavy again.

Well, there is no evidence now, just a word... Kyle can already think of the scene where Fudge and Dumbledore parted ways.

As for using the Pensieve to restore Dumbledore's memory...this is indeed a good method, but Fudge won't look at it.

Even if Dumbledore forced him to see it, he would find various reasons to believe that it was just a false memory.

No one spoke.

Fox flew down from his perch and landed on Kyle's lap.

Kyle touched the golden-red feathers on its body.

I have to say that the phoenix is ​​really a magical animal. It was precisely because of the tail feather that Fox gave him at Christmas that Kyle had the confidence to touch the Triwizard Cup when he was in the maze.

Without Dumbledore, he might have been able to escape from the top of the mountain, but he would have definitely been in a much more embarrassing situation than he was now.

"Okay, Fudge will be here soon." Dumbledore suddenly glanced at Kyle and Harry and said, "I think you don't want to participate in the next conversation, right?"

"Goodbye, Professor." Kyle stood up first and walked towards the door.

Fox rubbed his hand and returned to the perch.

"Goodbye, Professor." Harry seemed to have just come to his senses and said the same.

"Goodbye... Oh, by the way, remember to go find Madam Pomfrey." Dumbledore reminded: "It will be good for you to go to her and get a bottle of Dreamless Sleeping Potion."

"OK."

…

Several people left the office one after another.

When Kyle stepped through the door behind the gargoyle, he happened to see Snape leading Fudge this way happily.

"Kyle, kid, Dumbledore must be so happy that he can't sleep." He said with a smile, "I specially brought a bottle of Ogden Aged Fire Whiskey. You can come too. I think you are already mature at your age. It’s time to drink this drink appropriately.”

"Thanks, Minister," Kyle said, "but I'm too tired now and just want to go back and have a good sleep."

"Yes, that's right, you really should take a good rest." Fudge nodded, "Okay then, I'll let Albus leave a drink for you, if he doesn't drink it secretly..."

Fudge smiled and walked past several people.

But Kyle felt like he wasn't in the mood for whiskey any time soon.

After leaving the principal's office, Kyle did not go back to the common room immediately, but planned to accompany Harry to the school hospital to get the Dreamless Sleeping Potion.

Dumbledore was right, Harry really needed this now after seeing Voldemort resurrected with his own blood.

When the two arrived near the foyer on the first floor, they happened to run into Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey.

There was a stretcher floating next to them, with an unconscious Filch lying on it.

"Professor," Kyle walked over, "What's wrong with him?"

"He was hit by a coma spell and was thrown into a box in the office." Professor McGonagall said, "But fortunately, his life is not in danger."

At this time, Madam Pomfrey had already left in a hurry with a stretcher, and Professor McGonagall quickly followed. She needed to wait for Filch to wake up and ask some questions.

Harry followed them.

Kyle took a look at Filch's office. The furnishings inside had become much messier. A cabinet was leaning against the wall, and the contents on it were scattered all over the floor.

"Ouch..."

At this time, a cat suddenly staggered out from under the table and howled at Kyle.

Judging from the way Mrs. Norris was limping, she wasn't immune to Barty Crouch Jr.'s attack.

But yes, if you want to attack Filch, you will definitely have to avoid Mrs. Norris...

etc.

Kyle suddenly thought of something.

During Christmas, Karkaroff and Filch had an inexplicable conflict. He wanted to lock up Mrs. Norris and prevent her from appearing in school...

Did they think of using Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be Filch?

This does make sense. After all, Mrs. Norris has some cat-kneazle blood. Even if she used Polyjuice Potion, she could recognize whether the "Filch" in front of her was real or not.

Moreover, the cat and the man were always together. It was the only trouble for pretending to be Filch. Could it be that Karkaroff was preparing for Barty Crouch Jr.'s action at that time?

That's not right... Kyle shook his head.

The difference between wizards and Squibs is huge. It's not just a matter of changing a face. Even if the students don't care about this, there is Professor Moody. He can't fail to find it.

Kyle shook his head. Maybe he thought too much. It was just a personal grudge between Karkaroff and Filch at that time.

Or maybe they were about to start, but unexpectedly discovered that Filch was a dud, so they gave up their original plan and chose to start the fight against Harry just before the game, when all the professors left the castle.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mrs. Norris in the room jumped straight past Kyle and limped to catch up with Filch in front of him.

Kyle walked at the back, thinking about something.

Now think about it, there are too many strange things about Voldemort's resurrection this time.

He was sure that before Harry was caught, everyone in the school was real, including the referee, and no one had used Polyjuice Potion. He had confirmed this several times with the Marauder's Map.

But why did Barty Crouch Jr. appear at the most appropriate time and capture Harry under Filch's identity?

And how did the Triwizard Cup get replaced with a portkey? Only the referee could access it, so Karkaroff could only help him.

And this has been confirmed.

But shouldn't Karkaroff run away as soon as he heard the news of Voldemort's resurrection? After all, he sold out so many people to save himself.

If there is anyone who is most reluctant to see Voldemort resurrected, Karkaroff is definitely one of them. How could he try his best to help Barty Crouch Jr.? This is unreasonable.
