Chapter 743: Hagrid’s Request
After the Start-of-Term Feast, Dumbledore returned for Harry’s weekly memory lesson.
By the time Kyle arrived after receiving news from the portrait, the lesson had already ended, and Dumbledore had left the school again. Harry, still dazed from recalling something, remained in the office, lost in thought.
"Kyle, are you here to see Professor Dumbledore too?" Harry asked. "He just got a message through the fireplace about the Dark Mark appearing somewhere, and then he rushed off."
"Ah, that’s fine," Kyle replied. "I didn’t have anything urgent to ask him anyway. I’ll just wait until another time."
After making two fruitless trips, Kyle was far less eager than before. With the Time-Turner in his possession, he figured that if Dumbledore needed him, he would come to him instead.
The two left the Headmaster’s office together.
As they walked down the corridor, Harry glanced at Kyle and hesitated, his mouth twitching slightly. "Kyle, you..."
But he suddenly stopped himself.
"What?" Kyle asked, puzzled.
"No, it’s nothing," Harry shook his head.
Since Dumbledore had left abruptly due to the emergency, Harry was left with lingering questions, and he needed someone to talk to. Kyle would have been a good choice—he was intelligent, well-informed, and had even been involved in several secret plans.
