Shhh... shhh... shhh...
One by one, red and white TNT blocks were placed in every nook and cranny of the Castle, until the entire Castle was packed full.
Finally, he stood far from the Castle, pulled out a bow enchanted with Flame and shot an arrow towards the Castle's main gate.
Along with a series of crackling sounds, the click of a camera shutter could be heard from not far away.
...
The next day....
Kayson sat in the Great Hall, eating breakfast and reading about the massacre in the newspaper, along with his un-retouched headshot from Godel Manor...
For the first time, he felt that he had misjudged the intelligence of Lord Voldemort... no, of the Death Eaters as a group.
Who said they were stupid? Aren't they quite clever?
Oh, he was the one who said they were stupid before.
"So whose idea was this... they've even learned to play a series of interconnected schemes," he asked Professor Snape beside him, still eating.
"Barty Crouch Jr.," Professor Snape replied dryly.
"Why don't the two of you wait until after breakfast to have a proper chat in my office?" Headmaster Dumbledore sighed, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"OKOK." Kayson nodded, quickening his eating pace. Soon, the three of them left the Professors' table and headed towards the Headmasters office.
After entering the Headmasters office, Headmaster Dumbledore sat in his office chair and began, "This matter will not have any impact on you. The Godel family has already been identified by the Ministry of Magic as Death Eaters. Their deaths are welcomed by everyone, including the Ministry of Magic, Tom, and even me."
"As for Mr. Godel, a seventh-year, we have confirmed that he has officially become a Death Eater and has used Crucio and Killing Curse to brutally murder twelve Muggles in Muggle society. You don't need to feel any qualms about this matter."
"Oh, in fact, the Dark Lord's true intention is to sow discord between Kayson and Hogwarts, after all, the Little Wizards will only see that you appeared at their classmate's home, and his home has become a ruin."
"Also, some people within the Ministry of Magic who are loyal to the Dark Lord will try to trip you up... for example... coming to arrest you and make you leave Hogwarts." As Professor Snape finished speaking, they heard a knocking sound on the stone gargoyle.
"I guess it's Umbridge," Kayson said, sitting on the sofa.
"I guess so too." Headmaster Dumbledore's mind stirred, and the stone gargoyle blocking the staircase downstairs slowly moved aside. Soon, Umbridge, dragging her plump body, walked up, panting.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, Dean Snape... Oh, and... Kaisen Heath, please come with me, Kaisen Heath. Believe me, you wouldn't want large numbers of Aurors to come to Hogwarts and forcibly take you away," Umbridge said coyly.
"So? Why take me away?" Kayson raised an eyebrow and asked, "I remember the Godel couple were Death Eaters."
"But killing Death Eaters is not Hogwarts' responsibility; that is the Aurors' right. Now the Ministry of Magic needs to assess your... mental state."
"I remember that is Hogwarts' responsibility, Ms. Umbridge," Headmaster Dumbledore interjected.
"Hogwarts is responsible for its faculty and Little Wizards, but currently, the Ministry of Magic is summoning a citizen of the magical community in England, Kaisen Heath. Is there a problem?"
"...Of course not." Headmaster Dumbledore's expression darkened for a moment, then he turned and said.
"That's best. Please come with me, Mr. Heath." Umbridge, like a proud peacock, pulled out a pair of handcuffs from her hand.
"What is this for?" Professor Snape frowned, "As far as I know, a mental evaluation doesn't require magical handcuffs."
"No choice, who made your Professor Kayson so powerful? Without this, I wouldn't dare escort him," Umbridge said with a smile.
"What's the use of this?" Kayson asked.
"Oh... let me think. I will set a time, for example, one hour. When you wear it and then unlock it, you will experience one hour of magical weakness and mental weakness, as well as a certain amount of sedation, making you unable to get angry or feel motivated to do anything. This is a necessary defense, after all, I don't want to become the second Godel," Umbridge explained.
"What if I don't unlock it?" Kayson continued to ask.
"It will still be the same. Unlocking it will only retain the effect for one hour, that's all."
"You can refuse," Professor Snape said in a deep voice.
"Then please let the Aurors come. No matter how unwilling Scrimgeour is, a Minister is a Minister! It's just a matter of efficiency," Umbridge said with a smile.
"Dumbledore," Professor Snape murmured softly.
"No, not yet," Headmaster Dumbledore shook his head.
Meanwhile, Kayson looked at the handcuffs in Umbridge's hand with some curiosity.
"Why don't we give it a try?" he said with a smile.
"I knew you were a good Professor who truly cared for Hogwarts." Umbridge smiled, set the timer on the bracelet, and then put it on Kayson.
The next moment, Kayson felt a strange sensation throughout his body, like a sage's moment. One second he was full of blazing fire, the next he was transcendent and holy, with no interest in anything.
"How does it feel?" Professor Snape asked.
"I want to sleep," Kayson said, yawning.
"Mhm." Headmaster Dumbledore nodded, patted Professor Snape's shoulder, "Let's go to the Ministry of Magic ahead of time. Don't worry, Kayson, we'll be waiting for you there."
"It's fine." Kayson jiggled the magical handcuffs on his wrist, crossing his arms in front of his stomach and saying casually.
As Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape were sent to the Ministry of Magic by the Phoenix Fawkes, Umbridge took out another limiter and placed it on Kayson's back.
"What is this?"
"To control your mechanical arm." Umbridge said, opening the Headmasters office window and pulling out a handbell, which she casually shook. A team of Thestral carriages flew out of the void and stopped by the window.
"So they left a bit too early. Are you planning to kill me on the way?" Kayson leaned back in the chair as Umbridge forcefully pulled him up, saying with a calm expression.
