00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:19making clips. Let's go listen. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 226, Voldemort,
00:27treasure chest of dark secrets the small room was in utter chaos, marked everywhere with scorch marks
00:32from fiendfire. Even the mirror of Ereste hadn't been spared, its golden frame had melted, its
00:39surface now gray and cracked. Quirrell was gone. When he had touched Harry, his body had begun to
00:46blacken rapidly, like a statue melting away, until he was reduced to nothing but ashes.
00:52Voldemort, too, had transformed into a ghostly apparition, fleeing the room the instant Quirrell
00:57died. Now, only Harry, Kyle, and Dumbledore, who had just arrived, remained in the room.
01:05As Dumbledore entered the room, he frowned slightly, casting a thoughtful look in Kyle's direction.
01:11But after a brief pause, he turned away, a gentle smile crossing his face.
01:16If I'm not mistaken, you were about to use finite incantidum just now.
01:22It seems Professor Flitik was right, you've mastered that spell, which is no small achievement.
01:28I just happened to read about it in the library over the holidays, Kyle replied, helping Harry
01:33up from where he had collapsed on the ground. I can't say I'm able to pull it off every time,
01:39but I'm glad you're here. No need to be so modest, Kyle.
01:43Dumbledore winked. Have I ever mentioned that you are one of the finest young wizards I've
01:49encountered? You never cease to amaze me. You're too kind, Kyle said, a bit embarrassed.
01:57If you hadn't refined the charm, I'd never have had the chance to learn it.
02:01You're the true master here. Dumbledore chuckled, now, now, you're making me blush.
02:07It was more a happy accident than anything else, and not solely my work.
02:13While they exchanged pleasantries, Harry, still lying on the ground, suddenly extended
02:18a trembling arm. He felt like there might still be hope for him, but the lingering effects
02:23of Quirrell's curse left him in searing pain, unable to form complete words. If he could,
02:29he would have made it abundantly clear that he desperately wanted to go to the hospital wing.
02:33Oh, Harry. I'm so sorry, Dumbledore said quickly, moving to help him up and guiding him toward
02:40the hospital wing. Kyle accompanied them. As they returned to the castle, Dumbledore suddenly
02:47stopped, turning to look at Kyle. Fiendfire is a very dangerous form of dark magic, he said,
02:54and its effects go beyond mere burning. If you have no urgent matters, I suggest you stop by
03:00the hospital wing for a checkup as well. Yes, Professor, Kyle nodded. But before that,
03:07could I go back to the dormitory? Cedric and the others must be worried sick.
03:12I understand, Dumbledore replied, but don't delay. With that, he led Harry away. Kyle, however,
03:21didn't return to the dormitory. Instead, he made his way to the second floor, heading toward
03:27Myrtle's bathroom. After facing Voldemort, a thought had struck him. The Basilisk.
03:34Kyle had always believed that only someone with Slytherin blood could control the Basilisk,
03:39but now he realized he'd been mistaken. If Riddle had controlled the Basilisk through a bloodline 50
03:45years ago, what about 50 years from now? Newt had once told him that all artificially bred
03:50creatures shared a unique trait. To control these dangerous creatures effectively and prevent them
03:56from turning against their creators, a specific will would be imposed on them from the start.
04:01This process often left their minds muddled, the more powerful the creature, the stronger the
04:06confusion. The Basilisk was no exception. It would be impossible for it to remember a wizard's face and
04:13voice for long. Not to mention, the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets had been asleep for 50 years,
04:20enough to reset its memory entirely. If it would forget even after a short five-day sleep,
04:27there was no way it could remember Tom Riddle's commands after half a century. Besides, Riddle didn't
04:32even have a physical form anymore, so how could he control the Basilisk now? But if it responded to a
04:39soul, why not Harry's? As the last Horcrux, Harry also carried a fragment of Voldemort's soul,
04:45making him similar to Riddle in a sense. There was no reason it couldn't work. Kyle felt as though
04:52he had uncovered the key to the problem. He was eager to confirm his theory, especially while the
04:58effects of the Felix Felicis were still in play. It had guided him here for a reason. Arriving at the
05:05bathroom, Kyle quickly removed the quill wedged between the door and the frame, then stepped
05:10inside. Myrtle wasn't here, and the room was silent. Kyle opened the entrance to the Chamber of
05:17Secrets with ease, mounted his broom, and descended. The passageway was as dark and damp as ever, but this
05:23time, Kyle felt none of the nervousness that had gripped him during his first visit. He flew swiftly down
05:29the corridor, reaching the stone wall and entering the chamber. Kyle looked up at the Slytherin statue
05:36and thought it seemed subtly different from before, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly how. It felt
05:41almost, more lifelike. But that didn't seem possible, the statue had stood here for over a thousand years.
05:50Why would it suddenly change? He squinted at the statue's eyes, trying to study them more closely,
05:56but a thought of Dumbledore waiting in the hospital wing broke his concentration.
06:01If he lingered here too long, Dumbledore might come to his dormitory looking for him,
06:05which could cause complications. Forget it, I'll figure it out later, Kyle murmured,
06:11snapping back to reality. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, then opened his suitcase.
06:17Inside were the remaining dozen roosters, which he placed at the entrance, feeding each a potion to
06:23strengthen them. Once everything was in place, Kyle turned his gaze back to the statue's face and let
06:29out a hissing sound. This was the critical phrase in Parseltongue he'd learned long ago,
06:34speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four. The giant stone face of Slytherin shifted,
06:41its mouth began to open wider and wider, forming a vast, dark cavern. From somewhere deep within the
06:48statue, a slithering creature began to stir and move upwards. Stop. Kyle commanded, closing his eyes
06:56tightly and clutching his suitcase. This was the moment of truth. If the basilisk ignored his command
07:03and continued to emerge, he would have to open the suitcase immediately. A dozen roosters weren't much,
07:10but their combined crowing would still pose a deadly threat to the basilisk. Kyle's heart raced,
07:15he had never felt so tense. It felt both like an instant and an eternity, but soon Kyle realized
07:22that the faint sound of slithering within the statue had ceased. The basilisk really wasn't moving.
07:29A cold, rasping voice echoed from the statue. Obey your command, master. It worked. Kyle patted his
07:38chest in excitement. His earlier guess was correct, the basilisk was merely a magical creature,
07:44it couldn't distinguish Slytherin's bloodline or soul. What truly controlled it, was that phrase in
07:51parcel tongue to open the statue. That phrase must have been recorded in some special way,
07:56perhaps at Hogwarts or somewhere else, but Kyle was certain only a true heir of Slytherin could find it.
08:03The method for creating a horcrux, now the basilisk. Voldemort truly was a treasure chest,
08:09of dark secrets. That extra effort of calling him, professor, had definitely been worth it.
08:16Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 227, the cunning Dumbledore Kyle arrived at the hospital wing
08:22as quickly as he could after commanding the basilisk back to sleep. Harry was lying peacefully asleep in
08:28one of the beds, while Dumbledore stood nearby, speaking with Madame Pomfrey, who looked distinctly
08:34displeased. Last year it was a dark wizard, and this year it's the Death Eaters, she said, casting a
08:40sidelong look at Dumbledore. So, what will our defense against the dark arts professor be next year?
08:47Dark Lord himself. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that were the case. Dumbledore merely smiled,
08:55offering no rebuttal or defense. Whether it was Orin or Quirrell, he was indeed responsible for
09:01their appointments, and he bore much of the responsibility. Just then, Kyle stepped into the
09:07room. Oh, just in time, Kyle. We were just talking about you. Dumbledore said, quickly ending his
09:15conversation with Madame Pomfrey as he moved toward Kyle, only to be promptly nudged aside by her.
09:21You need to be checked in immediately, she said, glaring at Kyle, her expression so severe that she
09:27seemed more intimidating than Voldemort himself. Kyle shot a pleading look at Dumbledore, hoping he
09:33might intervene, but the headmaster had suddenly developed a deep fascination with a potion bottle
09:38on the table and seemed oblivious to Kyle's silent appeal. Madame Pomfrey didn't dwell on her irritation,
09:45though. All right, stand still. She waved her wand twice in front of Kyle, and a soft white light
09:52glowed at its tip, eventually forming a cloud-like mist that wrapped around him. She studied the
09:58glowing mist intently before finally relaxing a little. Very well. No trace of dark magic.
10:06You should be grateful. She said with firm resolve. When Harry Potter was brought in,
10:12he couldn't even get a full sentence out. She handed Kyle a bottle of potion,
10:17then guided him to one of the sickbeds. Um. Poppy, might I have a quick word with him?
10:25Dumbledore asked gently. Just a couple of sentences. It won't take long.
10:32Madame Pomfrey frowned but nodded. If you say so, headmaster. But the boys just had an encounter
10:39with Fiendfire, he needs his rest. Dumbledore inclined his head, acknowledging her concern without
10:45pressing further. After drinking the potion, Kyle felt a deep heaviness settle over him,
10:51and before long, he drifted into a deep, restorative sleep. When Kyle woke up, it was
10:57already the next morning. The noise in the hospital wing had stirred him. He could hear Madame Pomfrey
11:04angrily scolding, likely shooing Fred and George out. Good morning, Kyle, a familiar voice greeted him.
11:11Opening his eyes, Kyle saw Dumbledore standing beside his bed, smiling warmly. The scene felt
11:19oddly familiar, just like last year, and around the same time, too. Good morning, Professor,
11:26Kyle replied, sitting up. How's Potter? I'm glad you asked, Dumbledore said. He's out of danger and
11:34should be awake by lunchtime. Would you like something to eat? The kitchen is serving pork cutlets this
11:40morning. No, I'm not really hungry, Kyle said, shaking his head. That's a shame, because they're
11:48especially delicious today, Dumbledore replied with a hint of a smile. Kyle half expected Dumbledore to
11:55ask why he had gone into the restricted area, but he didn't. After a casual conversation, Dumbledore
12:01finally remarked, oh, by the way, remember to return fluffy to Hagrid later. He was quite worried last
12:08night. Funny, at first, I thought Quirrell was the one who hid him. It took me an hour to realize that
12:16if Quirrell only wanted to pass the trapdoor, he wouldn't have needed to hide fluffy in the first
12:21place. Besides, hiding a creature as large as a three-headed dog isn't exactly easy. Unless, of course,
12:29there's a magical item involved, like a suitcase or a bag of sorts. Air. Kyle felt a little embarrassed,
12:37realizing his actions had left a trail. In fact, the bit of Felix Felici's he'd used only worked for
12:43about an hour. Sorry, Professor. It's quite all right, Kyle. I'm not blaming you. Honestly, even if
12:53you hadn't taken fluffy with you, Quirrell would have found some other way to get through. Kyle nodded.
12:59He had already guessed Dumbledore's intentions. Subconsciously, he glanced around the room.
13:07It was just him, Dumbledore, and Harry, who was snoring loudly. The one person he truly wanted to
13:13avoid at the moment, Madame Pomfrey, wasn't there, no doubt busy shooing away more students outside.
13:20He decided to shift the conversation to lighter topics, steering it from Quidditch to exams,
13:25and finally to the house cup. Dumbledore listened patiently, seemingly happy to indulge him in small
13:32talk. But, eventually, Dumbledore brought up the inevitable. As soon as Kyle finished talking about
13:38the house cup and was preparing to change the subject again, Dumbledore said, speaking of the
13:43house cup, it reminds me, Kyle, did you by any chance see a bright red stone yesterday?
13:49Well, there goes that topic, Kyle thought, muttering under his breath, not the easiest subject to
13:55dodge. But when Dumbledore asked, he nodded and said, yes, Potter was holding it, but it fell into
14:02the Fiendfire. Yes, that's what Harry told me, Dumbledore replied, his expression thoughtful.
14:09But it's quite peculiar. The Philosopher's Stone is an exceptionally magical artifact,
14:15even Fiendfire can't destroy it. I went back later, but there wasn't a single trace of it left.
14:22Quite impossible, really. Did you check carefully? Kyle murmured, maybe it rolled into another room.
14:30I checked thoroughly, Dumbledore said, smiling. It seems you already knew the Philosopher's Stone was
14:37there. Well. Potter mentioned it, Kyle said, shrugging slightly. During breakfast,
14:44he and Ron were always talking about how to stop Professor Snape from stealing the Philosopher's
14:49Stone from the restricted area. This wasn't entirely a lie, Kyle had indeed heard Harry and Ron
14:55discussing the Philosopher's Stone on several occasions, whether in the Great Hall or in the
15:00corridors, conspiring loudly enough that it was impossible not to overhear. Most people thought
15:06they were just spouting nonsense and didn't pay attention. Sounds like they learned quite a bit from
15:11Hagrid. Dumbledore chuckled, shaking his head. He looked at Kyle again. So, you don't know where
15:18the Philosopher's Stone is either. Kyle remained silent. In that case, it must have been taken by
15:26that Niffler, Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye. I reviewed the images from the Mirror of
15:31Erist yesterday. He winked. Perhaps I'll pay Newt a visit, he should recognize that Niffler.
15:39Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 228, a reward for the Niffler Kyle since things were slipping out of his
15:46control. Professor. He said with a nervous laugh, I don't remember the Mirror of Erist having a replay
15:53function. Isn't it like any other Mirror? That's true for most versions of the Mirror of Erist,
15:59Dumbledore replied, but I've made a small adjustment. Are you familiar with the pensive?
16:06Kyle nodded. It's an alchemical device that lets you view memories.
16:11Indeed, Dumbledore said, sounding pleased. I attempted to connect the Mirror of Erist to a
16:17pensive, so that whatever appears in the Mirror could be preserved as a memory in the pensive.
16:23To be honest, it was far more complicated than I anticipated, but I succeeded in the end.
16:28So you can see everything that happened in the Mirror. Kyle asked, his throat feeling suddenly
16:34dry. Perfectly. Dumbledore replied, a glint of mischief in his eyes as he seemed to savor Kyle's
16:42reaction. It's unusual for a Niffler to be in the castle, and even more unusual that it managed to
16:48solve a supposedly foolproof barrier. Dumbledore then stood up, preparing to leave. Well, I won't
16:55disturb you while you rest. The Niffler can't have gone far, so I should pay Newt a visit to see if
17:01he recognizes it. Wait, Professor. Kyle blurted, stopping him. Yes. Is there something else?
17:11Well, if it's a Niffler, it just so happens that I have one, Kyle said, reaching into his pocket and
17:17pulling out a palm-sized Niffler. Dumbledore turned back, looking a little surprised.
17:22So the Niffler was yours all along. Kyle forced a polite smile, choosing to ignore Dumbledore's
17:30teasing tone. If the headmaster really hadn't known, he would have gone straight to Hagrid or
17:35Professor Kettleburn rather than seeking out Newt. This wasn't about identification, it was clearly a
17:41playful, if pointed, hint. Actually, I just remembered, Professor, Kyle explained. I let him out to play with
17:50me for a while earlier, and he must have wandered over to the mirror during that time. The Niffler
17:55looked up at Kyle with wide, blank eyes, and seemed to catch on. It quickly moved its little paws
18:02protectively over its pouch, but it was too late. Under Kyle's deft hands, a large pile of shiny
18:08objects soon spilled out, Christmas ornaments with sequins, metal clasps, a handful of galleons,
18:15sickles, sickles, and, finally, a bright red gemstone. So it was here all along, Kyle said,
18:22feigning surprise. Sorry, Professor, I had no idea. That's quite all right, as long as it's been found,
18:30Dumbledore replied, retrieving the Philosopher's Stone. At that moment, the Niffler let out a mournful
18:37wail, wriggling and clawing at the air in protest. I see I've taken something it values.
18:44Dumbledore murmured thoughtfully. With a subtle twist of his fingers, he conjured several glittering
18:49gems in various colors, each roughly the size of the Philosopher's Stone, and held them out in his
18:54palm. How about I trade you these? Dumbledore held out his hand to the Niffler with a smile.
19:02As a reward for passing my test, you may have them. As soon as he opened his hand, the Niffler stopped
19:08his fussing. The Niffler's eyes widened at the gems, though tears of frustration still glistened at the
19:14corners. With a sorrowful cry, he reached for them, but Kyle lifted him up just in time.
19:21Professor, he says he doesn't want those, Kyle said solemnly. Dumbledore paused.
19:27He doesn't. Emichem. Kyle nodded seriously. You see, I can understand what the Niffler is saying.
19:37He's asking for a real reward. The Niffler stared at him in disbelief, then began squirming even harder,
19:44letting out increasingly desperate cries. But Kyle ignored him, even covering its eyes.
19:50Dumbledore's expression grew curious. And what reward does he have in mind?
19:56Well, he feels his home is a bit cramped and would like you to expand it a little,
20:01Kyle explained, holding up the leather suitcase next to him. He was thinking,
20:06maybe as large as the Forbidden Forest during your summer break.
20:10Dumbledore, who likely already knew that Kyle owned a suitcase like Niff's,
20:14seemed to piece things together. His expression turned even more amused as he looked between Kyle,
20:20who was keeping a straight face, and the Niffler, who had gone limp in resignation.
20:25Kyle, did he really say that? Dumbledore asked, clearly holding back a laugh.
20:32Yes. Kyle said firmly. I'll vouch for Potter's grades as proof.
20:38By now, the magical creature had completely given up, hanging limp in Kyle's grasp, defeated.
20:45Well, all right, since I promised him, Dumbledore mused.
20:50But the size of the Forbidden Forest, that might be a bit ambitious. After all, I still need to find
20:56a new defense against the dark arts professor during the break, so I won't have that much time.
21:01How about half the size of the Forbidden Forest?
21:05That should be enough for it, don't you think?
21:07No problem at all, professor, Kyle replied, smiling. I thank you on behalf of the Niffler.
21:15Oh, Potter. When did you wake up?
21:19Harry, who had been lying on the bed across from them, was now sitting up, staring at Kyle and
21:24Dumbledore in bewilderment. I thought I heard someone talking about grades, and it woke me up,
21:30Harry said, rubbing his face in confusion. How long have I been asleep? I can't believe the exam
21:37results are out already. Don't worry, you've only slept for one day, and the exam results aren't out
21:44yet, Dumbledore reassured him, coming over to his bed. If you recover quickly enough, you might even
21:50be able to make it to the Quidditch match tomorrow. Oh, thank goodness. Harry breathed a sigh of relief,
21:58then suddenly remembered. Sir. The philosopher's stone, it fell into the flames. We have to,
22:06no need to worry, my boy. What you're saying is already outdated, Dumbledore said calmly,
22:12pulling out the bright red stone and holding it in front of Harry. The philosopher's stone is
22:17perfectly safe, you see. Phew, Harry exhaled, visibly relieved. I'm so glad I didn't destroy
22:25the philosopher's stone. There's no need to be so nervous. Even if you had destroyed it,
22:32it wouldn't have mattered much, as we never intended to keep it here permanently. Pardon?
22:38Harry asked, baffled. But, your friend Nicholas. Oh, so you know Nicholas.
22:45Dumbledore's eyes sparkled with genuine delight. In truth, he was quite pleased. Unlike Kyle,
22:53Harry's responses were far more straightforward and didn't tend to involve unexpected surprises.
22:59This was precisely the kind of conversation Dumbledore enjoyed.
23:03Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 229, The Mysterious Gift from the Weasley Twins
23:09Harry had many questions, but Dumbledore answered each one with patience. Before long, Kyle located
23:16Madame Pomfrey and requested to be discharged. Although a bit reluctant, she agreed after another
23:22examination, confirming Kyle truly had no lingering issues. As he left the hospital wing, Kyle glanced at
23:29the still soulless Niffler, smiled, and took a handful of glittering gem shards from his
23:34smokescreen pouch. He scattered them across the courtyard, watching as they sparkled in the
23:40sunlight. These were the fire crab gems he had collected. After learning a clemency in Newt's
23:46suitcase, he'd ventured into a fire crab lair to gather plenty of these smaller gem shards to make
23:52his map appear more valuable. Though the shards were smaller than the gems Dumbledore had,
23:57Kyle had amassed quite a lot. When scattered, they glittered like stars on a dark night.
24:03The moment Kyle released the gems, the Niffler, with its eyes fully restored, sprang into action,
24:09eagerly gathering every shard from the ground. Kyle sat beside him, resting his chin in his hands,
24:16and glanced up in the direction of the hospital wing. Kyle wasn't surprised that he hadn't managed
24:21to steal the Philosopher's Stone. In fact, he had anticipated this outcome. After all, the stone was
24:29the one thing that could allow Voldemort to regain a body, and Dumbledore would never let it slip from
24:34his control. What did surprise Kyle was Dumbledore's willingness to help him expand his suitcase.
24:41Honestly, he hadn't expected much, he'd thought Dumbledore would dismiss the idea.
24:47Instead, after only a brief hesitation, Dumbledore had agreed. It was an unexpected windfall.
24:53This meant Kyle no longer needed to attempt the suitcase expansion himself, which saved him a lot
24:59of time. He had originally planned to use his vacation to enlarge the suitcase's interior a bit
25:05more, an endeavor that required releasing the undetectable extension charm for two months in a
25:10row, a task he found unbearably tedious. Soon, the Niffler finished collecting every gem and scurried
25:16back to Kyle's side. A true treasure hunter, the Niffler hadn't missed a single gem,
25:22and in the process, had even found two copper nuts hidden in the most unlikely spots.
25:28Still, he seemed a bit dissatisfied until Kyle handed him a leaf transfigured into the likeness
25:33of the philosopher's stone. The little creature's face lit up immediately. In a way, Niffler's were
25:40easy to please. When Kyle returned to the castle, he happened upon Fred and George, who were about to
25:47leave and each holding a large, beautifully wrapped box. Kyle. Fred looked a bit surprised.
25:54We were just about to go see you. How come you're better so soon? George wondered.
26:01I was never really sick, Kyle replied. The visit to the hospital wing was just a formality.
26:07It was Potter who had the real problem. Oh. I'm sorry, George murmured, looking down at the box he
26:15was holding. We got you a present. It's fine, Fred said. Go on, open it and see if you like it.
26:24Sorry. Did he actually just say that? Kyle gave them an expressionless look and made no move to accept
26:32the box from Fred. This wasn't his first encounter with the twins, and he could tell from the mischievous
26:38glint in their eyes that whatever was in that box was unlikely to be a genuine gift.
26:43How did you know I was in the hospital wing? Kyle asked, changing the subject.
26:49Actually, it wasn't just us. Fred, realizing they couldn't easily fool Kyle, took the box back,
26:56deciding they'd give it to Harry later instead. It's all over Hogwarts, George explained.
27:02Quirrell tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but a few brave young wizards caught him and managed
27:08to stop him after getting past loads of obstacles. Kyle, you borrowed the Marauder's Map just so you
27:14could go down to the underground chamber, didn't you? Fred mused. A three-headed dog. A moving
27:21wizard chessboard. Death Eaters. Fiend Fire. By Merlin Socks. This adventure's richer than
27:30everything we've done over the past ten years combined. You really should have asked us.
27:37George said with a touch of regret. Even our little brother Ron got involved, but we were left out.
27:44Next time, for sure, next time, Kyle said, waving his hand dismissively.
27:50Fred and George couldn't help feeling Kyle was merely humoring them. So it's settled.
27:55You'll definitely include us next time, George reminded him. Otherwise, you're getting the
28:01same Christmas present every year, a quill. And it'll be the cheapest one we can find,
28:07Fred added. That's just mean, Kyle laughed, shaking his head.
28:13Fred and George quickly headed off, they still wanted to find Harry and give him their carefully
28:18prepared present. Once they were gone, Kyle was soon surrounded by another group of people who had
28:23also heard about what had happened in the underground chamber and were eager for details.
28:28Kyle finally managed to slip away from the crowd of curious students, but when he reached the entrance
28:33to the Hufflepuff common room, he realized someone else was waiting for him.
28:37I knew you'd be heading back to the dorms, Hermione said.
28:41So I thought I'd wait here in advance.
28:44There were too many people back there, and we couldn't get through, Ron muttered.
28:48Hermione shot him a glare.
28:52All right, what do you want to know?
28:54Kyle asked, sounding resigned.
28:57But make it quick.
28:59I really don't want to keep repeating myself.
29:02How's Harry?
29:04How did you get past the barriers?
29:07The two asked simultaneously.
29:10Potter's fine, Kyle answered, looking at Hermione.
29:13When I left, he was talking to Dumbledore.
29:16You can go see him if you like, but Madame Pomfrey may not be too happy about it.
29:22As for the obstacles.
29:24Kyle turned to Ron.
29:26With the right approach, they're not too hard to get through.
29:30For instance, about the winged keys, you could use a bowtruckle or a master key to open the
29:35door directly, without having to catch any keys.
29:39Oh.
29:40Ron moaned, looking disappointed.
29:42They had been so proud of their efforts to find the right key, and here Kyle was, telling
29:48him it hadn't even been necessary.
29:50And about the enchanted chessboard.
29:53Ron began, but Hermione cut him off.
29:57Don't ask, Ron.
29:59Of course Kyle would have no trouble with those tests, she said, a bit impatiently.
30:03We have to hurry to the hospital wing to see Harry, or else Madame Pomfrey might not let
30:09us in if there are too many people.
30:12Yes, you're right.
30:13I almost forgot.
30:16After thanking Kyle, the two of them quickly hurried off toward the hospital wing.
30:21Channel Dream Novel
30:22Chapter 230, Kyle's career Hermione was right.
30:26By the time she and Ron reached the hospital wing, it was packed with students who had come
30:32to see H.
30:34Harry
30:34His friends, members of the Quidditch team, and those simply curious were all crowded around.
30:41And, of course, there were a few who came to gloat, such as a certain first-year Slytherin
30:46who would rather remain unnamed.
30:48Everyone had some excuse for Madame Pomfrey to let them in.
30:52Please, Madame Pomfrey, just let me in.
30:55The Quidditch match is tomorrow, and I really need to see Harry.
31:00It's important, Oliver would plead it from the front of the line.
31:04If anyone was desperate to see Harry, it was Oliver.
31:08Gryffindor was more than 500 points behind Hufflepuff, but until the last match, there was
31:13still a sliver of hope.
31:15Miracles did happen, after all.
31:18But without Harry, their key seeker, they had no chance.
31:22They might even end up in last place, setting a record for Gryffindor's lowest score in
31:27a decade.
31:29The thought alone made would shiver.
31:31If they lost, Professor McGonagall would probably have him hanging from the Astronomy Tower.
31:37So, despite Madame Pomfrey's refusals, would clung to his request, refusing to budge.
31:43Nearby, Dumbledore, who had just exited the hospital wing, watched the scene with a faint
31:49smile.
31:52It seems that Harry is quite popular, with so many people concerned about him.
31:55Standing beside him was another figure, Snape.
31:59Surprisingly, he refrained from his usual snide remarks, instead gazing at Dumbledore with a
32:04troubled look.
32:06Is this your plan, he muttered.
32:09Letting Potter face the Dark Lord alone.
32:12He could die.
32:13Trust me, Severus.
32:15Dumbledore replied gravely, Harry will have to face Voldemort one day.
32:21It is unavoidable.
32:23He must learn to overcome his fear.
32:25Ha, making a child the savior.
32:28Snape scoffed, though it was unclear if he meant Harry or Dumbledore himself.
32:33He's just as mediocre as his father, arrogant, rule-breaking, showing off at every chance,
32:39drawing attention to himself.
32:41Honestly, I see no chance of him defeating the Dark Lord.
32:46You see what you want to see, Severus.
32:49Without looking back, Dumbledore turned and began walking toward the castle.
32:54Other professors find him humble, friendly, and not without talent.
32:58Personally, I find him quite likable.
33:01Not without talent.
33:04Snape's expression turned incredulous, as though he'd just heard the Ministry of Magic was
33:08giving away Felix Felicis for free.
33:11If Dumbledore had made that remark about Kyle, Snape wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
33:17Although he disliked Kyle, Snape couldn't deny that the boy was rather clever.
33:22After all, even Snape himself hadn't been able to brew the perfect draft of living death
33:27in his second year.
33:28But Harry Potter.
33:30The boy could barely manage the simplest of potions without mistakes, and this was supposed
33:35to be talent.
33:37As Snape thought of Kyle, he suddenly asked, almost to himself, so, you really don't know
33:42what happened in the underground classroom that night?
33:45Of course, Severus.
33:48I have no reason to lie to you, Dumbledore replied, shaking his head.
33:53Hogwarts is vast, and not even I can see everything.
33:56What about the mirror?
33:58He has never looked into the mirror of Eriste, not even once.
34:02Dumbledore's eyes grew distant.
34:06In this, he is more clear-sighted than any of us.
34:09Snape was silent for a long moment before he spoke again.
34:13And you weren't worried that Quirrell might get his hands on the Philosopher's Stone?
34:18I assumed you would be watching him closely.
34:21Since the day I brought the stone here, I have been concerned, Dumbledore admitted, looking
34:26up.
34:26But even so, Severus, there are always exceptions.
34:31As he spoke, the two of them reached the restricted area.
34:35Fluffy had already been removed, leaving the entrance room empty and quiet.
34:40They passed through the trapdoor and descended to the room below.
34:44Neither Dumbledore nor Snape needed broomsticks, the descent was as effortless for them as walking
34:49down a flight of stairs.
34:50After landing, Snape's expression shifted, and he bent down to pick up a leaf from the
34:56floor.
34:57Chomping cabbage.
34:59If I remember correctly, Pomona placed Devil's Snare here.
35:03Perhaps someone thought Devil's Snare was too easy and decided to add a bit of a challenge,
35:08Dumbledore chuckled.
35:10I don't think it was Quirrell, Snape muttered, thoughtfully rubbing the leaf between his fingers.
35:16Casually cultivating dangerous plants and leaving them around the school.
35:19If Quirrell hadn't arrived early, Potter and his friends wouldn't have needed the hospital
35:25wing at all.
35:26Such reckless disregard for safety.
35:29Aren't you concerned he might become the next Dark Lord?
35:33Snape didn't specify who he was, but Dumbledore understood.
35:38You're mistaken, Dumbledore replied, shaking his head.
35:42Harry and the others came down on their broomsticks.
35:45Even without Quirrell's early arrival, they would have been unharmed.
35:50And as for Kyle, he cannot, and will not, become the next Dark Lord.
35:55He has a warm family and close friends to confide in.
35:58He's passionate about learning magic, but he's not driven by a need for power.
36:03And yes, he even has a career he genuinely enjoys, which makes him fundamentally different
36:09from Voldemort.
36:10Career.
36:11You can't possibly mean those useless amulets and shoddy maps.
36:16Snape suddenly grimaced, feeling an oncoming headache.
36:20If that was Kyle's idea of a career, then Slytherin's had certainly been his main customers.
36:26Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
36:29But the students seem to like them, don't they?
36:32Fine, Snape grumbled.
36:34Even if you're right, what about a clemency?
36:37If there's no ulterior motive, why would he need to master a clemency in his second year?
36:43You know as well as I, Severus, that we cannot use legilimency on students.
36:49Dumbledore's tone grew firm.
36:51It was merely a test, Snape scoffed.
36:54One he performed so boldly, without a hint of subtlety.
36:58But you must understand, Severus, having secrets is not unforgivable.
37:04Your prejudice against Kyle, however, might be.
37:08Snape's frown deepened, but he held his silence.
37:12Ah, yes, Dumbledore added with a sigh as if remembering something.
37:16Due to the Fiendfire incident, I couldn't keep what happened in the dungeon from the families
37:21of Kyle and Harry.
37:22They should be arriving soon.
37:24Do you recall, Diana visited the school once last year because of Orin?
37:30Despite all these years, she's still, as spirited as ever.
37:34Snape's face darkened visibly.
37:37When?
37:38She should arrive shortly, Dumbledore mused.
37:42Though it may be Chris who comes instead.
37:45Very well, Snape said, turning sharply and heading out of the room without another word.
37:50Are you going to greet her?
37:53No.
37:53What do I care if she arrives or not?
37:57Snape replied, not bothering to look back.
38:00I just suddenly remembered I forgot to pick up a batch of potion ingredients I ordered in
38:05Hogsmeade.
