Kayson gripped Nios's heart and crushed it, splattering blood across Barty Crouch Jr.'s face, instantly waking him up.
He quickly grabbed the door key and activated it.
The next moment, the Alchemy mechanical arm struck the spot where he had just been standing, blasting a large hole.
"Like a rat, he can really run," Kayson pouted, looking at Nios, who was impaled on his arm.
"Hmm, this time it's a real person..."
When Kayson returned to Hogwarts, Snape was leading several Little Wizardss in skinning and dismembering a giant dragon.
These were all precious Potion and Alchemy materials.
As for why Snape was so happily digging into property that should have belonged to the Dragon Reserve...
You know, I, Snape, had an unhappy family since childhood.
It fell on the ground; I thought no one wanted it.
I don't care; you go tell Dumbledore.
We are all trying hard to resist Lord Voldemort.
Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall slowly controlled Hogwarts to return to its original foundation pit, and finally, she was directly teleported back to an empty bed in the Medical Wing by the necklace.
The Professors and the other two Principals went to the Medical Wing to visit the great hero who had defeated the hundred-meter-tall giant dragon.
When Kayson arrived, Professor McGonagall was gnawing on a roasted chicken.
"Uh, it looks like things are actually much better than I expected, aren't they?" Kayson said.
"Yes, I thought I'd be unconscious, but I'm just a little tired," Professor McGonagall shrugged.
"That's true, but aren't you uncomfortable eating roasted chicken at a time like this?" Kayson asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about that; Severus just delivered a batch of digestive Potions during the day," Madam Pomfrey explained.
"Uh-huh, then this matter has been perfectly resolved.
Now the only annoying thing is that I have to be the substitute Transfiguration teacher for a while," Dumbledore said with a bitter face.
"By the way... wasn't he already dead once?
Why did he die again?"
It was then that everyone noticed Kayson still had a person impaled on his arm.
"The last one was flesh Alchemy, but this one should be a real person, but unfortunately, he's completely dead.
See if you can still extract any memories or something," Kayson said.
"It's very difficult; his soul has already departed," Dumbledore shook his head.
"I see, what a pity," Kayson sighed.
The next moment, Nios's body suddenly burst into raging flames, burning him to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Then he left the Medical Wing, but he didn't return to his office; instead, he walked towards the Headmaster's office.
Hmm...
Clearly, there was already someone in the Headmaster's office.
"I just went to see Professor McGonagall.
Why didn't you go?" Kayson asked.
"She doesn't like me anyway.
Why would I go see her sour face?" Grindelwald shrugged.
"You could have seen her awkwardness eating roasted chicken; maybe you could even have mocked her," Kayson found a seat and sat down, looking at Grindelwald: "How was dancing with Dumbledore?"
"What can I say, so many years as Principal have made him clumsy.
I think he should exercise more," Grindelwald shook his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that," Dumbledore walked in at some point: "Perhaps I could also choose to swim in the Black Lake?
What do you think?"
"I'm afraid you'll be eaten by that giant squid," Grindelwald raised an eyebrow and said.
"So what, Kayson, is there something?" Dumbledore turned to look at Kayson.
"That giant dragon monster was formed by two Death Eaters fusing three-headed giant dragons.
One of the Death Eaters was Nios, whom I've killed.
The other Death Eater's appearance wasn't clear, but his skill was quite good," Kayson said.
"Hmm... do you and Severus have any guesses?" Dumbledore continued to ask.
"A guess... Barty Crouch.
Because no one showed signs of having drunk Polyjuice Potion tonight, and the only outsider who wasn't present was him, Barty Crouch.
And as soon as he left, the Death Eaters came again."
"Although I know there are a whole bunch of Death Eaters, it's indeed quite a coincidence," Kayson explained.
"In that case, it's not bad," Dumbledore raised an eyebrow: "We have already locked onto the target, and the next step is to keep an eye on him.
The only pity is... old Crouch, he is considered a very good official in the Ministry of Magic, but it's a shame he ended up like this."
"What's a pity?" Kayson asked.
"Everything is a pity, whether he was corrupted and brainwashed by Lord Voldemort, or if he was controlled, killed, and turned into Polyjuice Potion; it's all a pity.
But honestly, I think the possibility of corruption and brainwashing is small.
His son died because of Lord Voldemort, so he is unlikely to defect to Lord Voldemort," Dumbledore explained.
"Then it would be Polyjuice Potion?
In that case, he should still be alive, right?" Kayson asked.
"...Uh-huh."
"Then go find him and rescue him!" Kayson said.
Grindelwald shrugged somewhat helplessly at this: "You still don't understand Dumbledore's stony heart.
If he had to choose, he would probably let Barty Crouch be tormented until he couldn't bear it anymore, or until everything settled down, before he would act, because that way he could maximize Barty Crouch's gratitude."
"Uh... you really are human," Kayson glanced at Dumbledore, seeing that the latter had no intention of explaining, and said somewhat helplessly: "Are you still a person?"
"Just as I said, if one nail is removed, another will be driven in.
Since there is already one victim, then let this victim protect other innocent people for us," Dumbledore said.
"I don't understand; this is clearly Hogwarts' responsibility, yet you push this responsibility onto an innocent person," Kayson shook his head.
"But you and I, if we ask ourselves, can we do it?" Dumbledore said.
"..." Kayson fell silent.
A smile appeared on Dumbledore's lips.
He walked over and patted Kayson's shoulder: "A pure heart is a good thing, but ideals always have to yield to reality, don't they?"
"I think it's us, who aren't strong enough, who yield to reality," Kayson clicked his tongue and said.
