Chapter 772 Changes in Diagon Alley

　　When Kyle and Newt left the Black Forest, it was already very dark.

The two of them stood under the long-lost moonlight, and Newt still complained with a distressed expression that Kyle should not have destroyed such a large forest.

“This is the only way I can think of to deter werewolves.” Kyle explained tirelessly: “Only by showing absolute strength can they give up some of their unrealistic fantasies.

"Didn't Professor Dumbledore also say that? Hatred should not continue any longer. If werewolves appear on the battlefield this time, this idea will never be realized."

"I know everything you said, but..." Newt sighed.

Of course he knew that this was the best option. He didn't have to kill all the werewolves, but it could also scare them away from getting involved in the war. It could be said to be the best of both worlds, but he just felt it was a pity.

How many bowtruckles can be supported in such a large forest...

“Forget it, it’s not Li Huo anyway. With the unique topography of the Black Forest, he should be able to recover quickly.” Newt comforted himself in his heart.

And soon he thought of another thing. After Kyle used the expansion spell, the plants that had grown several times larger must also need more nutrients. The thicker roots were like a water pump, which could All surrounding nutrients are drained away.

Even if there is no fire spell, the plants around that area will probably gradually wither.

 …

"So I won't go out of my way to do anything like Remus Lupin, because it may take several years, or even ten years, and I don't want to waste my time on it. But I also don't mind doing whatever I can to Help him a little bit."

 “Hmm…what do you think?” Newt asked after pondering for a moment.

"You should know that this is difficult." Newt said, "Wizards' prejudice against werewolves has been around for a long time and has even become an instinct. This cannot be changed by a war, even if the werewolves stand unswervingly against us. Neither does this side.

The two of them walked forward for a while, and no one seemed to be in a hurry to go back.

Visibly, Tom's expression changed from surprise to disappointment, and he sat back behind the counter dejectedly.

Tom, the bar owner, was cleaning glasses boredly behind the counter. When he saw someone coming in, he quickly stood up.

 “Then you really want to help them?” Newt continued to ask.

Not to mention that just a week ago, there were often reports of werewolves attacking wizards in newspapers. People had already assumed that werewolves had joined the Death Eaters. It didn't make much sense to switch sides at this time.

 A few minutes later, London.

 The two of them came to a hillside outside the black forest.

“I didn’t think so.” Kyle looked back in the direction of the black forest, and vaguely, he seemed to be able to see the glowing eyes in the forest.

"Not very good." Kyle said, "According to what Cat Leopard told me, that werewolf is the most like Fenrir Greyback. He enjoys biting people and will have some fun even if it's not a full moon night, so Only then would he be placed in the more important Knockturn Alley by the Death Eaters, instead of being thrown around like trash in the Black Forest waiting for orders.

"So..." Newt looked at Kyle, "You deliberately lied to those werewolves in order to stabilize them?"

"Of course not." Kyle said: "If you just want to deal with the werewolf threat, wouldn't it be faster to kill them directly? Under the circumstances, killing them is easier than drinking water, so why bother."

 “What’s his personality like?”

"Don't you know?" Tom raised his head, looked at Kyle in confusion, and then explained: "Yesterday, the Dark Mark appeared over Dagonils' shop in Diagon Alley. Including her, a total of three shop assistants were Killed."

“This is only what Yeorman knows, and he has been in the Black Forest for a long time, and there may be more that he doesn’t know.”

"If possible, I actually don't mind helping out a little bit," Kyle said. "Remus has proven that even a werewolf can become a righteous wizard when he grows up in a normal environment. Since If he can do it, there’s no reason why other werewolves can’t do it... all they lack is a guidance process.”

 “Are you really going to help Mr. Lupin push for the werewolf bill?” Newt suddenly asked.

"Oh, Kyle..." Tom said happily without recognizing Newt, "You must have graduated. Do you want something to drink? How about Butterbeer, or do you prefer Firewhiskey?"

Kyle and Newt pushed open the door and walked in.

 Hate that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years cannot be said to be just reconciliation. There must be a long process.

Because it was already very late, there was no one on the street, and almost all the shops were closed. Only a dilapidated sign in the middle of the street was still flashing on and off, as if there was a bad connection. .

“What’s happening here? Why is there no one there?” Kyle asked curiously.

"No one wants to have their children in the same classroom with a werewolf. If I guess correctly, Dumbledore must have deliberately concealed his werewolf identity when he admitted Mr. Lupin to school."

“Next time, Tom, we have other things to do,” Kyle said.

The news of Voldemort's resurgence has not just been out for a day or two. Even when the commotion was at its worst, people didn't even dare to come to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "At least that's what I think now."

Whether this is the case or not, at least Newt feels a lot more comfortable.

 “Smart,” Newt said.

To be honest, he had never seen the Leaky Cauldron so deserted. There was no one inside.

"Really?" Newt said meaningfully, "Is that what you think?"

“That’s right.” Kyle nodded. "That's why I say there's only a one percent chance of the Werewolf Act passing."

"After all, the person who wants the majority to agree to this Werewolf Bill is not Lupin, nor me, nor the Minister of Magic, but the werewolves themselves who can play a key role. Everything they do directly affects the majority of the people. Human decision-making is too variable.

 Dagonils?

Kyle thought about it and found that he had no memory of the name at all, but that was normal. There were so many shops in Diagon Alley, and he couldn't possibly know every boss.

“Then it’s up to you.” Newt said with a smile, as if he just regarded himself as a pendant, completely forgetting that he had brought Kyle to the dark forest.

With a crisp crackling sound, two figures appeared one after another on a certain street.

“It’s okay anyway, let’s go and take a look.” Kyle thought for a while and said, “If possible, I can also help Lupine with a little help.”

“So far, he has bitten five people in just one month, three wizards and two Muggles.

 “What to do with the werewolf in Knockturn Alley?” Kyle asked.

 The most important thing now is the news that Tom said...The Death Eaters have targeted Diagon Alley and killed the owner of a shop.

 “Is there anything special about Dagonils?” Kyle continued to ask.

"It's nothing special." Tom continued to wipe the cup and said without raising his head, "Just an ordinary wizard. If I must say it, her business in the modified Muggle items shop is pretty good, and there are many Muggles. The little wizard comes often."

 “Why did the Death Eaters kill her.”

"I don't know, and they never need a reason." Tom raised his head again, "If you have nothing to do, just go back."

"I will," Kyle said, and he and Newt walked toward the backyard.

 The two entered Diagon Alley through the entrance.

This place is as deserted as the Leaky Cauldron. There is no one on the long street. The doors of the shops on both sides are locked, and some have thick curtains drawn, so no light can be seen.

But in this case, one store seemed out of place with the surroundings. Not only did it not close, but all the lights were turned on. The colorful light **** were spinning rapidly at the door. From a distance, it looked like a grand event was being held. party.

Kyle knew which store this was without even looking at the sign.

Other than Fred and George’s Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes, there is no other shop as rebellious as this in Diagon Alley.

There was not a single customer in the shop. When Kyle pushed the door open and walked in, the bell hanging on the door made a clear and sweet sound.

"welcome?"

 “Oh, Fred, look who’s here!” George poked his head out from upstairs. said in surprise.

 A moment later, Fred also ran over.

"Kyle, and Mr. Scamander." He walked over excitedly, "Are you done with your work?" "There's still a little bit left." Kyle said, "We are going to Knockturn Alley and happened to pass by here. "

 “Our pleasure,” Fred said seriously.

 “What’s going on now?” Kyle asked.

"Before that." Fred's face became more serious and he took out his wand, "Please prove to me that you are real and not an impostor who used Polyjuice Potion."

"Well..." Kyle thought for a moment, "When you were seven years old, you tried to trick Ron into signing an Unbreakable Vow. As a result, Mr. Weasley hung you up and whipped you for three hours. And when you were nine years old, you went to Perth The lunch that Xi brought to the train was filled with half a can..."

"stop!"

 “Shut up, stop talking.”

 “We know you’re real!”

The two people stepped forward quickly and stopped Kyle from continuing.

 This is already very illustrative. After all, the Death Eaters don't know what they did more than ten years ago.

"Can you say it now? What happened." Kyle asked again.

"As you can see," said Fred, "the Death Eaters wanted to regain their former glory and make everyone afraid of them, so they chose to attack Diagon Alley."

“They did it.” George brought Newt a cup of hot cocoa. “Since yesterday afternoon, we haven’t sold any of Nat’s products.”

 “Where’s mine?” Kyle said dissatisfiedly as he watched his movements.

 “What’s yours?”

 “Hot cocoa.”

"What hot cocoa? That's what you're talking about." George said calmly, "This is a treat only for first-time guests. If you say... ten sips of cocoa, thank you."

 “Ten Sickles?” Kyle raised an eyebrow, “Three Broomsticks is only eight Sickles.”

“Then you can go ahead.” Fred made a farewell gesture.

“It’s really dark here.” Kyle curled his lips, but still took out a gold coin and said, “Change.”

“Thank you.” George happily accepted the galleons, “If you add nine siko, you can get a beef pie, how about it, it’s a good deal.”

"Okay." Kyle also felt a little hungry at this time.

Soon, the pie was brought, and even Newt had a piece, and no money was taken.

Kyle took a bite, and it tasted exactly like the one Mrs. Weasley often made. Obviously, these two guys were in the business of being a free thrower.

 But Fred and George didn't care about this, and didn't care what Kyle thought at all. They happily put the Galleons into the cash box.

 “It’s great, we finally opened today.”

While Kyle and Newt were eating pie, Fred walked over and closed the door of the shop, and placed an exquisite looking glass on the shelf next to it.

“This is our new product. If someone around you is malicious towards you, the looking glass will vibrate.” George explained: “So what are you going to do next?”

“Go to Knockturn Alley.” Kyle finished the pie and took another sip of hot cocoa. “Remember what I said before? There is a werewolf there, and we need to solve this problem.”

"Werewolf?" Fred frowned, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Yes," Kyle said. "Give me another piece of pie. I'm not full."

 “Can’t help.” George shrugged.

"We just brought two bags for late night snacks." Fred said, "If you are not in a hurry, go to Grimmauld Place first. Mum will be very happy."

"Forget it, let's wait until this matter is resolved." Kyle waved his hand, "Is there any action on the Order of the Phoenix side?"

"Yes, move Harry." Fred lowered his voice, "We plan to take Harry out of Little Whinging tomorrow."

"How to connect?" Kyle asked: "It's best not to use the Floo Network. Death Eaters have attacked the Ministry of Magic's Transportation Department before, and I'm worried they may have done something."

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen,” George said. “We plan to use Apparition.”

“Speaking of which, you’ll have to watch out for Piers Thicknesse at the Ministry of Magic.”

"Thickness..." Kyle thought for a moment, "The acting director of the Legal Enforcement Department?"

 “That’s right, it’s him.”

“Two days ago, Thicknesse wanted to make disembodiment illegal, saying it was to protect Harry and prevent the mysterious person from catching him.”

"But we all know You-Know-Who doesn't abide by the laws of the Ministry of Magic."

 “He just wanted to stop Harry from leaving.”

Kyle nodded. Indeed, the regulations of the Ministry of Magic cannot control the mysterious people and Death Eaters.

“Wait a minute, you just said “want”, what do you mean?”

"Because he failed." Fred said with a smile, "Ms. Amelia Bones, who was attacked by Death Eaters before, woke up and insisted on returning to the Ministry of Magic from St. Mungo's."

“As the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, she directly rejected the proposal.”

"That's good." Kyle said, "But don't be careless. The Death Eaters will definitely not give up just like this."

"Of course we know this." George said, "Now Kingsley is protecting Amelia Bones to prevent her from being attacked by Death Eaters again. As long as she is okay, the Ministry of Magic will not make any bias in favor of Death Eaters." decision."

“Well, if you have any questions, I can help.” Kyle put his box on the table.

“Actually, I think it’s okay to use this to take Harry away. We can use Polyjuice Potion to disguise ourselves as door-to-door salesmen, and then pack Harry away as quickly as possible.

In this way, even if the Death Eaters were keeping an eye on him, it would be difficult to see any clues. "

"This is indeed a good idea." Fred touched his chin, "We will discuss it with Dad when we go back."

“But Kyle, we are about to transfer Harry. Are you sure you can make it back in time?” George asked.

 “I’ll try my best,” Kyle said.

 In fact, he was not sure when he would be able to deal with the werewolf in Knockturn Alley. If he was quick, for example, if he met the target as soon as he entered, it might take less than ten minutes to deal with it.

 But if the other party is good at hiding, it is normal for it to take several days to find him in a place like Knockturn Alley where there is a mixture of good and bad.

“Then let’s keep this as a backup plan for now,” Fred said.

 He and George put on their coats, walked out of the store with Kyle, and locked the door.

Kyle subconsciously looked up and glanced at the huge, sparkling sign and the colorful light **** that were still spinning in circles.

 “Don’t worry about them.”

 “Diagon Alley always needs a bit of life.”

The two said with a smile.
