Chapter 604: Harry's decision
Chapter 604 Harry’s decision
At night in Hogsmeade, a burst of piercing laughter came from the Hog's Head Bar, and the sound was full of schadenfreude.
Then, Dumbledore walked out of the bar with a confused look on his face, as if he had drank expired butterbeer.
“Kyle, does it have to be this way?”
He looked at Kyle next to him and said after careful consideration: "In fact, Voldemort needs time to recuperate, so we don't have to be so anxious to solve the Ministry of Magic's problems.
“I believe that you can make a more suitable plan during this period.”
"Thank you for your compliment, Professor." Kyle said calmly: "Yes, I have a backup method now."
“Tell me about it.” Dumbledore’s eyes lit up.
“How about the dementors suddenly rioted and raided the Ministry of Magic.” Kyle said seriously: “Then one or two happened to break into the minister’s office and had a cordial exchange with Mr. Minister.
“In this way, it not only solves the problem that holds some people back, but also makes everyone pay attention to dementors. It kills two birds with one stone.”
Dumbledore turned his head and was silent for a long time before saying with a complex expression: "Dementors will not riot, at least not now."
"I didn't say they would definitely riot." Kyle shrugged and said, "I just provided a possibility."
Dumbledore stopped talking and just walked forward. When he arrived at the entrance of Zuko's joke shop, he finally spoke again. His voice sounded a little dry, "Creating an illusion, right? I know...but I didn't Having done something similar, I can’t guarantee that Fudge can believe it…”
"It's okay, Professor." Kyle smiled: "It's not difficult. You just need to occasionally contact a few department directors, such as Ms. Amelia Bones of the Legal Enforcement Department, or Barty Crow Mr. Qi is fine...
With Fudge’s character, he will definitely not remain indifferent. "
Dumbledore opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he shook his head silently.
He regretted it a little. If he had known that he should have let go and killed Voldemort again no matter the cost when he was on the top of the mountain.
The two of them walked forward for a while, and Kyle, who was thinking about something, suddenly felt his arm being grabbed.
Then in a whirlwind of excitement, he was brought into the foyer of No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
Mrs. Weasley was startled by the sudden appearance of the two men and almost threw the plate in her hand to the ground.
But she quickly reacted.
Being able to apparate from the outside into a house protected by the Fidelity Charm, no one else except Dumbledore could do it.
Of course, Fred and George are not counted. They were all in the house when they disapparated and did not go outside.
"you…"
Before she finished speaking, there was another crisp sound.
After sending Kyle back, Dumbledore didn't even stay for a second before leaving again.
"What's wrong with Dumbledore?" Mrs. Weasley asked doubtfully, "I think he looks a little ugly."
“He must be hungry,” Kyle said. “After all, he hasn’t eaten much all day.”
"Oh, Merlin's beard, have you been busy all day?" Mrs. Weasley quickly pulled Kyle to the kitchen and muttered: "Dumbledore is serious, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving."
"Maybe he has other things to do." Kyle said casually.
"Then we need to eat too." Mrs. Weasley said, "Just wait for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
Kyle nodded.
To be honest, he was a little hungry too.
Although the Pig's Head Bar provided a reasonably clean lunch, the taste was really not that good. The potatoes were not cooked and were still hard inside.
There were not many people in the kitchen at this time, but after a few minutes, everyone came in one after another.
"Kyle...when did you come back?" Ron couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been today?"
“Hogsmeade,” said Kyle.
“What are you doing there?” Ron wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Mr. Weasley.
"Okay, Ron." He came from behind, "Dumbledore must have told him not to tell anyone, so don't ask so many questions."
“Okay,” muttered Ron.
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Weasley brought a whole roast chicken and fried fish.
But there were not many people here for dinner today, only Tonks and Moody. Tonks looked listless, and her hair turned as yellow as straw.
Due to her Auror duties these past few days, she hadn't slept for two days. Plus, it was her turn to keep vigil today, so her mood naturally wasn't much better.
Lupine also noticed this, thought for a moment and said, "Tonks, you can go and rest after dinner. I can take your place today."
"Really?" Tonks' hair quickly turned bright red, but soon she thought of something again, "But you were the one keeping vigil yesterday. Is it okay for two days in a row?" "I'm fine." Lupine said, "I can rest for a while during the day anyway."
"Sorry to trouble you." Tonks yawned widely, "I've been really exhausted these days."
“It doesn’t matter,” Lupine said.
…
In the next few days, Kyle stayed in the library as usual.
Until the day before school starts.
“Are you going back?”
In the kitchen, Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but ask: "Dumbledore has something to do with you again?"
Others also looked over subconsciously.
"No." Kyle shook his head, "I haven't seen him recently."
"How about staying one more day?" said Mrs. Weasley. "Sirius will be able to take you both to King's Cross station tomorrow morning."
"No." Kyle said, "I came here from the Ministry of Magic. I still have my vacation homework and books at home. School starts tomorrow and I have to go back and bring these with me."
Hearing what Kyle said, Mrs. Weasley understood that if it was homework and textbooks, they should really be taken back to school.
So after breakfast, Mrs. Weasley took Kyle to a street in front of Grimmauld Place.
Mr. Weasley is already waiting here in his car.
“Come up, I’ll take you back to the village.” He said.
"No, Mr. Weasley," Kyle said, "I can go back by myself."
"That's not possible. The distance between Grimmauld Place and St. Catchpole Village is not very close." Mrs. Weasley on the side shook her head, "And this is a special period. None of us know where the Death Eaters are hiding. Somewhere, what if you get attacked on the way.”
"They don't have this chance." Kyle opened the car door with a smile, got in, and said, "By the way, remember to keep it a secret for me."
With a crisp sound, Kyle took advantage of the cover of the car and disappeared in an instant.
This scene happened to be seen by other people in the room,
For safety reasons, Mrs. Weasley didn't let everyone out, so they could only look outside through the windows.
As luck would have it, from their position, they could just see what was going on inside the car.
"Apparition?" Ron couldn't help but said: "Kyle just started sixth grade this year, does he know how to do this now?"
"Only you think he won't," Hermione said bluntly.
Harry also nodded beside him, "I dare say he must have known this magic a long time ago."
"At least a year ago." Sirius added: "Last year at this time, I saw him using it, and he was very skilled."
"Last year," Ron said, "when he was in fifth grade..."
"Yes, he was able to use Apparition skillfully when he was as old as you." Sirius said.
Perhaps he felt that saying this was a bit of a shock to the three Harrys, so he quickly added: "Of course, among your peers, you are good enough."
“No wonder Professor Dumbledore only took him to Hogsmeade.” Harry whispered.
Then he turned his head and asked: "Sirius, can you teach us how to Apparate?"
Ron and Hermione also looked over, their eyes full of hope.
“Is it possible? We also want to learn.”
“It’s very dangerous when you learn to Apparate.” Sirius said, “According to the regulations, you are not allowed to learn Apparition before the sixth grade.”
“Please.” Harry looked at him with burning eyes.
"Don't look at me like that..." Sirius hesitated for a moment, then was defeated, "Oh, okay, I'll just agree, but remember, don't tell anyone, especially Remus."
“We promise!” the three said in unison.
“When are you going to teach us?” Harry then asked.
"It's too late now." Sirius thought for a while, "Let's wait until school starts. How about the weekend, or during the Christmas vacation."
"no problem."
