Chapter 799 Fishing Plan

 “Let’s be honest, what do you mean?”

Fred and George looked at Kyle warily, while unconsciously stepping back and leaning against the door.

 They know Kyle too well... As long as he shows this expression, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Feeling the touch of the doorknob behind them, the two of them felt a little relieved. This place was good, it was right at the door. If they found something wrong, they could open the door and run away at any time.

  “That’s right.”

Kyle considered his words for a moment, "The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures has been in some trouble recently. When I saw Cedric today, he had lost a lot of weight. He couldn't even walk steadily, not to mention he was wobbly. How haggard.

“He really needs help. As friends, you won’t ignore him.”

"What about you?" Fred immediately noticed something was wrong and asked: "You and Cedric are also friends, why don't you go and help him."

“To be honest, I really want to help.” Kyle sighed and spread his hands. “If the mysterious man didn’t trouble me, I would have stayed at the Ministry of Magic today.”

 “Sounds a bit fake.”

 “It doesn’t seem real.”

Fred and George said at the same time.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Weasley if I spent a day in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.”

Kyle pointed to the door, "If I lie, you can come to me again. I will accept any punishment, even if I am allowed to work in your store."

 “Are you serious?”

 “Of course.” Kyle said confidently. "Don't worry, I really just want to help Cedric. He is too busy. As friends, we should all help him out of circumstances, right?"

"The rest is easy to say, but let's go back to the Ministry of Magic... let's forget it," said Fred.

"That's right." George nodded, "No matter what you say, we will never go back to the Ministry of Magic."

 “Especially at this time…”

“Just look at Hermione, we don’t want to be back in the middle of the night every day.”

 “Don’t refuse in a hurry.”

Kyle took out a golden cup filled with mead and placed it on the table. "Hermione is busy because there are few people in the place where she goes. The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is the second largest department in the Ministry of Magic. Even if it is usually a little busy, It’s not an exaggeration at all, it’s really just an unexpected situation this time.”

 Fred and George originally wanted to leave without listening to anything Kyle said, but the strong smell of mead filling the room made them stop.

Although they don’t like drinking that much, the mead that Kyle brought out tastes so good that people will never forget it after drinking it once.

 They are no exception.

The two looked at each other and seemed to have some kind of communication. Then they walked over cautiously and spoke first.

“No matter what you say, we’re not going to the Ministry of Magic.”

 “No matter how good the reason is, it’s useless.”

"Ah, it doesn't matter." Kyle said with a smile, "I just mentioned it in passing. If you don't want to go, I won't go."

“By the way, do you have any ideas about communication items?”

Just as he said, Kyle really didn't mention the Ministry of Magic anymore and turned to another topic, "I must remind you that efficiency comes second. The most important thing for Bones is not to leak secrets."

While talking, Kyle brought two more ordinary cups and poured the mead in the gold cup into them. "She won't pay for something that can be used if the enemy takes it away."

Seeing that Kyle didn't mention the Ministry of Magic again, the two of them relaxed a little.

“This is simple, just set a password.” Fred picked up the mead and took a sip, “Just like the Marauder’s Map, you can only use it by saying the correct password.”

“Or set a number code,” George said. “Like a Muggle phone, I remember you need to press a number before you can use the phone.”

"How do you know?" Kyle asked curiously. If he remembered correctly, the two of them should have never been in contact with Muggles.

“Didn’t Dad just say that? He got a phone call.”

"And we've used it before, Ron used it to contact Harry."

“It’s just that the person who answered the phone was not Harry, and before he had even said a few words, there was no sound.”

“His aunt and uncle must have done it. That family is really rude.” George put down the cup in his hand and said with a slight dissatisfaction.

Every time they went to find Harry, they had been blocked by those two people. Naturally, they would not feel happy when they thought about it now.

"Passwords and passwords..." Kyle thought for a while, "Is that the only way?"

“It can be more complicated,” Fred said. “For example, setting a spell that only certain people can use.”

"But in this case, the cost will increase significantly." George said, "After all, none of the restricting spells are simple, and it is even more difficult to use them on magic items. Even if we start from If we start researching now, it will take half a year at the earliest.”

 “And that’s just one,” said Fred.

"That won't work, it will take too long." Kyle shook his head. "There are so many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic. Even if there is one for every one hundred people, it will take a year."

"Then there's no other way." Fred raised his head and drank up the mead in the cup. "Actually, there is no truly reliable thing in the magic world. Even the most complicated password can be solved with Legilimency. Limitations Magic also has corresponding solutions.

“So if you ask me, it’s better to work on the communication items themselves.”

 “What does this mean?” Kyle poured him another glass of mead.

"Just make communication items into the most common shapes, such as buttons, ropes, etc., and everyone will wear them. In this way, even if Death Eaters see them, they will only think that they are normal small items and will not know anything about them. Think more.

“It’s like the one used by DA before. Who would have thought that a galleung would be our communication tool.”

While he was speaking, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the gold cup that Kyle used to pour wine.

 It’s not because of its precious material.

Although tableware made of gold is rare, it is not unheard of. For example, the place where they live now has a complete set of gold tableware, including cups, candlesticks, plates, bowls, knives and forks.

They were all left by the Black family, but Sirius just put them in the storage room and never took them out at all.

 What interests him is the cup itself.

That thing doesn't look big at all, how can it hold so much wine? It's been two rounds of pouring, but the wine inside is not missing at all.

 At first he thought it was a refilling curse, but the strange thing was that Kyle had not recited any spells, and he did not feel any traces of magic on the cup.

 As the owner of a magic waffle shop, Fred believed in his own vision. The thing was just a normal cup...at least that's what it looked like from the outside.

"you this…"

 “Then do what you think.”

He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Kyle.

“Make one first, the one with the password, then send it to the Ministry of Magic for Bones to see.”

"If she's satisfied, that's fine. If she's not satisfied... we'll change it later. Anyway, there aren't many people in Diagon Alley right now, so you guys are just idle."

“Idleness means idleness, we are very busy, okay?”

"Ah, yes, yes, I made a mistake. You are all busy people. You can earn a thousand Galleons a day." Kyle waved his hand towards the door, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, just leave. I still want to sleep."

 After saying that, he stood up and prepared to see off the guests.

This was originally a good thing for Fred and George. As long as they left smoothly, they no longer needed to worry about what holes Kyle would dig for them.

But Fred couldn’t help but be curious.

"Wait a minute." He looked towards the table, "That cup of yours..."

“Oh, you’re talking about that.” Kyle said nonchalantly: “It’s nothing special, it’s just Hufflepuff’s golden cup. Don’t you Gryffindors also have a sword?”

"What did you say?"

 “This is Hufflepuff’s golden cup?!”

At this time, Fred and George didn’t want to leave even more. No matter which one of the things left behind by the four giants, it was a treasure that the alchemist could not refuse.

 Although they are not alchemists in a strict sense, they are pretty much the same. They all deal with magic items.

In fact, the two of them knew that this thing was in Kyle's hands, and Kyle never hid it from them. They also knew about the Horcrux.

But I know it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

 The two of them bypassed Kyle and rushed directly towards the table.

"Hufflepuff's golden cup..." Fred's eyes were frighteningly bright, "Didn't you say it's at Nicoléme's?"

"It was before." Kyle said, "But after solving the problem of the Horcrux, he gave it back to me."

"When did it happen?" George raised his head angrily, "You never told us!"

“Last Christmas,” Kyle said, “you weren’t at Hogwarts at that time, how can I tell you.”

"This is not a reason, you can write a letter!" Fred said angrily, "I don't care, as your punishment for deceiving your friends, we have to keep this gold cup for you for a while."

“This is not possible.” Kyle shook his finger, and the gold cup that was originally on the table immediately flew into his hand.

"I'm going to lend it to Cedric for a while. If you want it, please queue up first."

"how long?"

“Who knows, maybe a week, maybe a month.” Kyle said thoughtfully, “Let’s see when he can finish his work.”

 “This is too long.”

“It’s okay not to know, but now that we know, how could we wait so long.”

 “I won’t be able to sleep at night…”

 “Why should you lend it to him first…”

“That’s right, we’ve known each other since we were three years old, but he just came later!”

The two of them said indignantly, with even a bit of grievance in their voices.

"Don't speak in this tone, it's so scary." Kyle felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but rub his arms, "Besides, there was a reason why I lent it to him first."

 “What’s the reason?” Fred blurted out, but his eyes kept staring at the gold cup in Kyle’s hand.

“He hasn’t been busy lately, and sometimes he doesn’t even bother to eat.” Kyle said softly: “It just so happens that the golden cup can store food and allow him to take a hot bite.”

Hearing this, Fred and George suddenly woke up, and their eyes moved from the golden cup to Kyle.

 “So that’s what you had in mind.”

“Don’t try to trick us into going to the Ministry of Magic.”

 …

"What do you mean by this? What do you mean by lying?" Kyle raised his eyebrows. "You're just kidding. I've already resigned. Whether you go to the Ministry of Magic or not has nothing to do with me."

 “What, you resigned?”

"Otherwise," Kyle said, "do you think Bones is going to let me keep getting paid for nothing?"

"Of course, for various reasons, I didn't really resign. He retained my position and office. If I want, I can go back at any time."

"But..." Before the two of them spoke, Kyle continued: "This period of time is definitely impossible. I need to hide from the mysterious person, so I can only stay here."

 “Really?” George looked at Kyle doubtfully.

If this is the case, there is really no need for him to do this for the Ministry of Magic.

 “How about you stay and see if I will go to work tomorrow.”

 The two of them did not speak, they just gathered together to whisper and discuss something.

 A few minutes later, Fred raised his head and said, "If we go to help Cedric, will you lend us the gold cup?"

"Don't say that, it makes it seem like I have some purpose." Kyle said, "I just want him to be able to eat at any time, so as not to be like Hermione, who almost fainted from hunger outside."

"Of course, if you must go, that's fine. If he has time to rest, he won't need the gold cup. It doesn't matter if he lends it to you at that time."

"Well, let's go to the Ministry of Magic." George stepped forward and said, "Lend us the gold cup."

"Don't force it." Kyle said with a smile, "School is about to start, and your business is probably very busy. Cedric, I'll think of another way."

 As he said that, he made a gesture to put the gold cup away.

“Not forcing it, not forcing it at all.” Fred immediately smiled, “Oh, we were all joking with you before.”

“Yes, since Cedric is in trouble, how can we, who are friends, not help him?”

“Actually, even if you didn’t say it, we would be going to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow.”

“But don’t you like the work of the Ministry of Magic?” Kyle asked.

“Even if we don’t like it, we can overcome it for the sake of our friends.” George said with a forced smile.

 “That side of Diagon Alley…”

“Perhaps you don’t know yet, but this time the school will use owl mail to purchase things needed for the start of the school year. Then they can go directly to Hogwarts, and there is no need to make an extra trip to Diagon Alley.

“Children from Muggle families attending school will also be transferred to Gringotts by their professors to exchange for Galleons.”

“I don’t think the professors will put our store name on the admission notice.”

“So we can’t participate in the excitement before school starts.”

"How is that possible?" Kyle frowned.

"It's true." George explained: "Ron has been notified."

 “And this is not the first time this has happened.”

"I heard Bill say that Hogwarts did this before the mysterious man fell. The purpose was to prevent Death Eaters from attacking the new students frantically."

“In addition, there will be more than three professors escorting the train.”

"If that's the case..." Kyle handed them the gold cup, "then there is really no need to open your shop."

As the store that appears most often on the banned list of school regulations, it is certainly impossible for professors to purchase their things.

 “It’s too hurtful for you to say that.”

 “Although this is true.”

The two of them wiped their hands and took the golden cup handed over by Kyle very solemnly.

 But the next second, they showed another face.

 “Hahaha, finally got it!”

 “I didn’t expect it, it’s too late for you to regret it now!”

 “What, you want to go back on your word?” Kyle looked at them meaningfully.

"We don't regret it. Since we agreed, we will definitely help Cedric." George said, "But if we find out that you are lying to us, there is no guarantee when the gold cup will be returned to you."

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you." Kyle said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.

As if they were afraid that Kyle would regret it, the two of them couldn't wait to leave after receiving the gold cup.

 After the door was closed again, Kyle also had a smile on his lips.

 In any case, we finally fooled the two strong men.

As for the issue of the golden cup...he really wasn't worried. It was too simple. Not to mention it was a piece of cake and it was easy to grasp.

Let’s put it this way, even if he wants the gold cup back tomorrow, as long as he goes to complain to Mrs. Weasley, they will have to spit it out.

 But they themselves never realized this.
