Chapter 687 After the Battle

It must be said that it was really interesting to see Voldemort and the Death Eaters fighting against each other, but unfortunately the scene did not last too long.

Voldemort also noticed the people coming out of the elevator. His eyes passed through Dumbledore and fell on Kyle and Harry.

"It's you two again..." He said in a cold tone, "It's you who have annoyed me again and again, too many times, and for too long. Avada Kedavra!"

After all, it was Voldemort, and the Kedavra was so thick that it was like a poisonous snake swimming in the air. Kyle even suspected that even if Norbert, the Norwegian Spinosaurus, was hit, he might die directly.

But he didn't feel panicked, and didn't even hide.

The next second, a big hand with a red glow suddenly stretched out from the wall next to him and blocked the two of them.

The Kedavra bounced off the big hand.

"Tom, don't forget that I am your opponent." Dumbledore said lightly.

"Of course I won't forget." Voldemort seemed to have expected that his spell would not work, so he didn't care too much.

However, this time, the killing curse also ignited the battle again.

The water in the magic fountain instantly condensed into sharp swords and flew towards Dumbledore. The sharp swords hit the half-remaining statue and immediately pierced it.

But Dumbledore simply raised his wand, and there seemed to be an invisible shield in front of him, blocking all attacks.

Then he directed the surrounding water droplets and sent them back to Voldemort in the same way, and the power seemed to be even greater than before.

Voldemort had to conjure up a shining silver shield out of thin air to resist. The silver shield surrounded him, and the water droplets hit it and made a low tremolo like a gong.

Kyle's eyes lit up, he wanted to learn this...

Although Dumbledore's magic was also good, he still preferred this materialized silver shield.

"Professor Lupin, do you know what magic this is?" Kyle asked in a low voice.

"Ah?" Lupin obviously didn't expect that in this situation, Kyle would actually be in the mood to care about any spells... But he still subconsciously looked in the direction of Voldemort.

"Sorry, I don't know." Lupin shook his head, "It looks like the Shield Charm, but it is more advanced than the ordinary Shield Charm. It should be added with ancient magic runes."

"Okay." Kyle said, he couldn't help but take out his wand, first used the Shield Charm, and then gently shook his wrist.

One by one, golden magic runes floated out from the tip of the wand, and then these magic runes formed a larger symbol.

Kyle slowly moved the wand and tried to integrate the symbol into the Shield Charm.

But at this moment, a red light suddenly flew over from the right.

The Shield Charm that merged with the symbol bounced the red light away, but it itself was directly shattered due to external force.

"Who?"

Sirius immediately took out his wand and stood in front of Harry, and Lupin also protected Kyle behind him.

But the remaining Death Eaters were still on Voldemort's side, and it was obviously not their trick.

Kyle also raised his head, and then he found that the battle in the main hall had entered a white-hot stage, and various spells were flying back and forth like a rainstorm. What just broke his Shield Charm was a large-scale magic of Voldemort.

Kyle glanced at the wall next to him that was hit by the red light, and a big hole had been blown out on it.

Lupin also noticed this, and he was a little annoyed that he was distracted just now, but at the same time he was also a little surprised at Kyle's talent.

There are not many people who can use the Shield Charm to block Voldemort's spell, and more importantly, Kyle is only sixteen years old this year...

On the other side of the battlefield, Voldemort's breathing has begun to become rapid, while Dumbledore, who is older, still looks at ease.

If this continues, victory is only a matter of time.

Voldemort spits out a mouthful of fire, transforms into a huge snake and rushes towards Dumbledore, as if he wants to swallow it into his stomach.

Dumbledore reached out and grabbed the giant snake's teeth accurately, and the giant snake turned into a long rope of fire, trapping Voldemort tightly.

Voldemort's body burst into black smoke, and he couldn't help but let out a roar.

"Master!" Bellatrix screamed, wanting to go forward to help.

But at this time, Voldemort suddenly broke free from the rope, turned into seven black mists, and flew around.

Although Dumbledore used a spell to shatter most of the black mist in time, there was still a group of fish that escaped and rushed straight to the people in the elevator.

"Be careful, get out of there!" Dumbledore's voice showed fear for the first time.

But it was too late.

The black mist easily bypassed Lupin and Sirius, and then passed through Kyle's armor spell and wrapped him up.

Kyle only felt a buzzing in his head, as if something was roaring in his ears, trying to get into his brain.

But the next second, the roar suddenly disappeared, and the black mist also left Kyle's body and rushed towards Harry next to him.

Then, Harry suddenly fell to the ground, holding the scar on his forehead, and let out a sharp scream.

Harry's eyes turned red.

"Don't you want to kill me, Dumbledore?"

Harry opened his mouth, made the voice of Voldemort, and laughed at everyone.

"Whoever it is, come and kill this boy!"

Dumbledore's face was as dark as water, and Sirius's hand holding the wand pointed at Harry tremblingly. He seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to use magic, and he couldn't use any spells.

"Come out!" Sirius roared.

Voldemort turned a deaf ear and continued to laugh wildly, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes... a pair of deep purple eyes, like amethyst.

For a moment, the redness in Harry's eyes seemed to fade away.

Dumbledore seized the opportunity and waved his wand vigorously.

It was like an invisible fist hit Harry, knocking the black mist directly out of his body.

"Damn beast!" Voldemort's roar echoed in the hall and was heard by several people coming out of the fireplace.

The fireplace on one wall suddenly lit up, and many wizards and witches poured out.

At the same time, Voldemort, who turned into black mist, flew to the few remaining Death Eaters, wrapped them up, smashed the windows, and escaped from the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"He was here just now." A wizard in red robes shouted loudly: "I saw him, absolutely right."

"I know, Williamson, we all heard his voice." Fudge came out from behind, wiping his forehead.

"Sorry Dumbledore, we're late." He stepped forward and said, "Are you all okay..."

"You came just in time, Cornelius." Dumbledore first checked Harry, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and said, "You guys came just in time, he was scared."

"Good job, but you can't show your face now, come in." While everyone's attention was on the escaping Voldemort, Kyle hid in the elevator and touched the cat and leopard, and then opened his box .

Cat Leopard jumped in immediately.

Kyle then walked out again.

"It's lawless. You dare to come to the Ministry of Magic to act wild. It's simply lawless..." Fudge looked at the messy main hall and the broken magic fountain, and wiped his forehead again.

"Is there anything we can do for you, Albus," he said, "Any request."

"I think you can go to the Department of Mysteries and have a look." Dumbledore said. "There are many Death Eaters there who have no time to escape. Kingsley is watching."

"Oh, by the way..." Dumbledore continued: "They seem to have been stimulated in the Department of Mysteries, and they are always talking nonsense."

"This is perfectly normal..." After hearing that there was something to do, Fudge finally calmed down a lot and said with a smile: "No one has ever known what secrets there are in the Department of Mysteries.

“I know a stupid burglar who broke into the Department of Mysteries and went crazy the next day.

"Oh, I almost forgot, now is not the time to talk about this. Delis, Williamson, you go downstairs and have a look at the Department of Mysteries. Albus, you..."

"I want to go back to school first." Dumbledore pointed to Harry who was unconscious on the ground. "How about we discuss what happened just now after Harry wakes up."

"It should be." Fudge seemed to have just noticed that there was another person lying on the ground, and this person was the savior Harry Potter...

"Why is he here? Oh, Merlin, do you need my help in contacting St. Mungo's?"

"Thank you, Cornelius." Dumbledore shook his head, "Harry just fainted and does not need to go to St. Mungo's. Madam Pomfrey can completely cure him, but I need your permission to use a portkey. "

"No problem at all." Fudge breathed a sigh of relief.

Dumbledore randomly picked up a golden stone. Judging from the shape, it should be a centaur's leg.

He took out his wand and whispered, "Mentos."

Blue light shone from the long stone, trembling in his hand, then calmed down again after a few seconds.

"Okay." He put the stone into Harry's hand and said, "If anyone wants to go to Hogwarts, just put your hand on it."

Kyle was the first to hold out his hand, followed by Sirius, Lupine and Mr. Weasley.

"Get ready," Dumbledore said softly, "One...two...three!"

The messy main hall of the Ministry of Magic disappeared, and Fudge disappeared as well, and they flew forward in a whirlpool of colors and sounds.

…

After everyone returned to Hogwarts, Sirius immediately ran to the school hospital with Harry in his arms.

Others followed.

The school hospital soon became busy. Harry was lying on the bed closest to the door, next to him were Ron, Hermione, Tonks and Moody.

"What happened..." Madam Pomfrey was so frightened that she quickly rummaged for potions on the shelf, "Oh my god, there are signs of being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse on their bodies. This can't be soul-stealing." Curse..."

As she spoke, she glanced back at Dumbledore seemingly inadvertently.

Mr. Weasley sat next to Ron and asked anxiously: "How is he?"

"Fortunately, it didn't take long, so he should be fine." Madam Pomfrey came over with a bottle of potion, "But I still suggest you go to St. Mungo's to check him out again. To be honest, I actually He's not very good at dealing with the Cruciatus Curse... This is a tranquilizing potion, drinking it will make him feel better."

"Thank you." Mr. Weasley took the bottle and put the potion inside Ron's mouth with his wand.

Soon, Ron's frown relaxed a lot, and he gradually began to snore.

Lupine gave Moody some medicine in the same way.

After everyone had finished the treatment, Dumbledore looked at Madam Pomfrey and said, "Thank you Poppy, but can we talk alone for a while?"

Madam Pomfrey didn't look very happy, but Dumbledore was the headmaster after all. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "It's better to hurry up. The patient needs to rest... and you too."

"We will." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"What happened to Harry?" As soon as Madam Pomfrey left, Sirius couldn't wait to ask, "He's fine, right?"

"Of course, Sirius." Dumbledore said, "He was just a little stimulated and should wake up soon."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Harry, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and found that he was no longer in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"Where is this..." he asked hoarsely.

"Hogwarts Hospital." Sirius said.

No wonder it's so familiar... Harry only felt a tingling pain on his forehead. When he turned his head, he just saw Ron and Hermione next door, and two Aurors farther away.

"How are they?" He asked anxiously, not caring about the burning pain in his scar.

"Don't worry, everyone is fine." Sirius comforted him.

"That's good." Harry covered his scar again, "What happened just now?"

"That's what I want to ask." Sirius said.

"I guess it's another form of the Imperius Curse, more evil than the original Unforgivable Curse." Dumbledore said softly: If Voldemort is given enough time, he can fight through your body. "

At this time, Harry also remembered that he was like being tightly entangled by a red-eyed monster and couldn't move, but the monster could control his body to move.

"Thank you for helping to buy time..." Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Kyle and said.

"It's a cat panther, it has nothing to do with me." Kyle said.

"I wanted to ask just now." Dumbledore's tone rose slightly, "When did you add another cat panther in your box? I don't seem to remember that there is such a creature in the Forbidden Forest. "

"I borrowed it from Newt." Kyle said truthfully, "to help Harry learn the brain block."

"Yes." Harry said, he couldn't help shuddering, that was not a pleasant memory.

"I see." Dumbledore nodded.

"Wait..." Sirius looked at them, his eyes a little confused, "What does this have to do with cats and panthers."

"Don't you ever read a book?" Lupin looked at him with disdain.

Harry felt a little familiar, oh yes, Hermione looked at them with the same eyes when she helped him and Ron review their homework before the end of the school year.

"Do you think I had the opportunity to read a book before?" Sirius said with his neck stiff.

Lupin sighed helplessly and explained: "Cat panthers are a very special magical animal, and their running speed is even faster than most flying brooms.

"And their eyes. Blue eyes can see through people's hearts. They are natural Legilimency masters. I think that's why you let it teach Harry how to occlumency."

"Yes." Kyle nodded. "That's how I learned this magic. Although the process is hard, it works."

Harry shuddered again.

Kyle was too modest. It wasn't "hard". To be honest, he still had nightmares. As soon as he closed his eyes, a monster with six legs chased him and beat him.

"I'm afraid only you who are close to Mr. Scamander can learn occlumency in this luxurious way."

Lupin sighed enviously: "The cat-leopard is an extremely rare creature. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see it in their lifetime."

Kyle shook his head and said nothing.

Sirius was even more confused.

"But what does this have to do with what happened just now? Is the You-Know-Who afraid that the panther will see his secrets?"

"Don't worry." Lupin continued, "In addition to Legilimency, the panther has another ability. When its eyes turn purple, it can hypnotize its prey."

"That's it." Dumbledore said, "The panther's hypnotic ability made Tom temporarily lose control of Harry's consciousness. I'm afraid he didn't expect that he would suffer such a big loss on a magical animal."

Dumbledore wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

"But why is Kyle okay?" Harry said tangledly: "Sorry Kyle, I don't mean anything else, but I did see that the black fog circled around you first."

"Because of the brain block." Dumbledore's tone became much more serious, "Voldemort was in an extremely weak state at the time, and he couldn't enter Kyle's brain at all... But I guess even if he was in good condition, I'm afraid he couldn't do it."

"But I also know the brain block." Harry said subconsciously.

At this point, everyone in the hospital ward had a different look in their eyes. Even Hermione, who had just woken up, covered her face and shook her head.

"I have a question, Harry." Dumbledore asked calmly, "Have you taken the initiative to learn Occlumency since Christmas?"

"No, no." Harry blushed and stammered.

Not to mention taking the initiative to learn, he even returned all the books on Occlumency to the library.

"That's the answer." Dumbledore looked at him, "As far as I know, Kyle's study of Occlumency lasted for three full years, and he never stopped."

Harry's face turned redder and he lowered his head and was speechless.

No wonder Voldemort returned in vain from Kyle, but he didn't even have the ability to resist.

"I suggest you do the same in the future, Harry," said Dumbledore.

"I will." Harry nodded.

Dumbledore was right, he needed to learn more about Occlumency to prevent what happened today from happening again.

If anyone is hurt by this today, I'm afraid they will never be able to forgive themselves.

"Okay, that's it for today." Dumbledore stood up and said.

"But Professor, I still have many questions I don't understand..."

Harry wanted to ask something else, but Dumbledore shook his head, "Don't worry, you can ask the same questions tomorrow. If we disturb your rest again, I'm afraid Madam Pomfrey will come to chase them away."

"But you are the headmaster..." Harry said.

"No, the principal's words don't work that well here." Dumbledore said with a smile, turned and left the school hospital.

"have a good rest."

Although Sirius and Mr. Weasley preferred to stay here, they hesitated for a moment and followed.
