Strange Experience

Filch's office was near the Entrance Hall on the first floor, a location that was right below an empty classroom in the left corridor of the library.

Kyle went up to the second floor and ran down the corridor toward it.

But as he passed the library entrance, he suddenly felt a moment of disorientation.

In a daze, he suddenly remembered what Voldemort had said to him in the underground classroom last year.

That is, the part about the creation process of Horcrux...

Previously, Kyle hadn't dared to investigate Voldemort's actions because he didn't know if Voldemort had any ulterior motives, but now he had a sudden realization.

What were originally profound and obscure things suddenly became simple, as if he had been studying them for decades, and could easily understand why they were done this way and what the principle behind each step was.

"This feeling is amazing," Kyle thought.

Even Ravenclaw's Diadem is nothing special.

The knowledge in my mind gradually arranged and combined to form a parchment full of pictures and words.

"Regarding the creation process of Horcrux..."

Every picture above is very clear, and every paragraph is very detailed. Just one glance... even just one glance, and he can master the Horcrux...

But at that moment...

"Bang!"

It looked like something had been slammed hard onto the ground.

With a loud bang, Kyle was jolted awake. The knowledge he had just acquired vanished instantly, leaving no trace.

No matter how much Kyle tried to recall, it was useless; it was as if time had suddenly reversed, and those memories had never existed.

Then... a water-filled balloon hit him on the head.

The balloon burst, and a large glob of cold water poured directly over Kyle's head.

He instinctively shuddered, instantly becoming much more alert.

"What are you daydreaming about, Kyle, you little brat?"

Peeves flew past him. "Run! Filch, you big idiot, is coming soon!"

After saying that, he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Then Filch ran up too.

He glanced at Kyle, who was soaking wet and dripping from his hair, and quickly noticed the broken balloon fragments on the ground...

"Did Peeves do this?"

Kyle nodded.

"Which way did he run?"

Kyle pointed casually...

In fact, Filch didn't even need to ask him; Peeves was still throwing balloons at the surrounding portraits as he left, and there were water stains everywhere he went.

Filch was furious. He ignored Kyle and angrily chased after him...

"Peeves! I'm going to catch you today and kick you out of the castle!"

Kyle watched him leave, then turned to look at the library door, a sense of doubt creeping into his mind.

What exactly happened in that state? Was it a coincidence? Or was it some kind of special circumstance?

Also, is it possible for this situation to occur again...? If so, what are the triggering conditions?

It couldn't have been just passing by the library... Kyle frowned and took a few steps back.

A few minutes later, when Harry left Filch's office and went upstairs, he saw this strange scene.

Kyle seemed to have suddenly gotten lost in front of the library, pacing back and forth... sometimes walking normally, sometimes running, or running and jumping...

Well, it's pretty strange, and it's also somewhat creepy.

"Kyle," Harry called out instinctively, "What are you doing?"

"Forehead..."

Kyle suddenly stopped, then turned around and said, "Oh, I was waiting for you, and also to get some exercise."

"Exercise?"

"Yes," Kyle said calmly. "It's normal that you, as Seeker, don't know about the special training methods used by Chaser."

By the way, how are you? Did Filch give you any trouble?

Harry suddenly became quite excited when this was mentioned.

"No, he just let me go!"

Escaping Filch's office without punishment is probably a new record.

"Then you should thank Sir Popington," Kyle said with a smile.

As they were talking, Nearly Headless Nick, also emerged from a classroom. Behind him, a gold and black cabinet lay on the ground.

"I persuaded Peeves to smash it on the roof of Filch's office," he said.

"It was you!" Harry said gratefully. "Oh, just in time! I didn't even get put in solitary confinement. Thank you, Nick!"

Kyle noticed the cabinet too.

He walked into the classroom and carefully examined the golden patterns on it.

"What's wrong, Kyle?" Harry caught up and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this cabinet?"

"This is a Vanishing Cabinet," Kyle said softly, looking at the golden Ancient Runes on it.

"Vanishing Cabinet?"

"Hmm, a precious alchemical item."

"But it didn't disappear." Harry blinked. "It's right here..."

"You've misunderstood," Kyle explained. "The Vanishing Cabinet means that the things placed inside will appear in another cabinet, as if they've disappeared into thin air."

Harry looked at the cabinet, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"I feel like I've seen it somewhere before... Oh, right, it's in that Dark Magic item shop in Knockturn Alley, there's a cabinet there that looks exactly like it."

Harry suddenly shut his mouth and glanced cautiously to the side.

Nearly Headless Nick, floated to the side, seemingly suddenly becoming very interested in the walls.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You remember, I messed up when I was using the fireplace and ended up in a shop in Knockturn Alley by accident, where I ran into Malfoy and his father?"

"Borgin -Bock?"

"Yes, that's the name," Harry said. "I hid in that closet to avoid being found... But I didn't disappear, Kyle, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Did you close the cabinet door?" Kyle asked.

"It's off," Harry said after a moment's thought.

He left a crack at first, but later Malfoy tried to touch something and was stopped by his father, which caused him to bump into the cabinet door, closing the crack.

"Then there's something wrong with the cabinet."

Kyle shook his head and said, "This one, or the one in the Borgin -Bock shop, one of them is definitely broken."

I saw the Vanishing Cabinet when I was in Paris, I can't be mistaken."

"Oh, it's this."

Nearly Headless Nick, floated over from the side. "The storage room is full of damaged items."

This cabinet has been here for a long time, probably fifty years ago, when Dumbledore put it here.

He had just received the Order of Merlin, First Class, and the castle was bustling with excitement.
