When Kyle found Professor McGonagall, she had just seen Professor Marchbanks back to her room.
Besides dormitories, Hogwarts also had rooms for visiting guests.
In fact, people from the Wizarding Examinations Authority came every year and were already quite familiar with the place. They did not need a professor to show them around.
It was only because this was Professor McGonagall's first N.E.W.T. examination since taking over as headmistress that Professor Marchbanks had asked to speak with her for a while.
When she saw Kyle, she hurried over.
"I heard from the portraits that you were looking for me?"
"Ah, yes." Kyle nodded.
"What is it?" Professor McGonagall continued, apparently unaware of what had happened. The portrait that had delivered the message had not told her either.
"Someone rather unwelcome has come to Hogwarts," Kyle said.
"Who?" Professor McGonagall asked casually, not seeming overly concerned.

"Grindelwald," Kyle repeated. "He came to Hogwarts. He was in the Headmaster's Office—I just saw him off."
"That's impossible!" Professor McGonagall blurted out. "He has always been imprisoned in Nurmengard."
"You said exactly what Headmaster Dippet did." Kyle shrugged. "Then let me say it again: what has kept Grindelwald confined has always been a person, not some so-called Nurmengard Tower..."
Kyle then told her everything that had just happened.
From meeting the suddenly appearing Grindelwald at the castle gates, to the two of them going to the Headmaster's Office together, and the plan afterward—he hid nothing.
Professor McGonagall said nothing, listening the whole
