Chapter 843: Get Out of My House
In the abandoned barn, Dumbledore—now missing parts of his memory—and Kyle, who had decided to stay behind, reached a preliminary agreement to work together.
They had decided to give it a try and see if they could save Ariana.
"We still have a bit of time," Dumbledore said. "We can talk over what to do."
"No rush." Kyle pushed open the barn door and stepped outside.
His sudden action startled Dumbledore. "Get back here—what are you doing?"
Having studied Time-Turners, Dumbledore’s first instinct after returning to the past was to hide. He didn’t want any contact with people outside his intended targets and aimed to keep his presence as low-profile as possible.
That was also why he’d prioritized securing the barn... It was an ideal hiding spot, and he didn’t want any unexpected changes to derail his plans.
He didn’t want Kyle exposing himself either.
Dumbledore tried to pull Kyle back, but he was too weak. After using magic so frequently earlier, his legs gave out the moment he stood, and he collapsed back into the chair.
"To get something to eat, of course."
Kyle turned around and said matter-of-factly, "I’ve been working all night—I’m starving. Even if we’re trying to save someone, we should eat first, right? Come on, Professor. The food around here’s nothing special, but it’ll at least fill us up."
"I’ll stay here," Dumbledore shook his head. "I don’t want to be recognized—it could interfere with what we need to do. Just go and come back quickly."
