Chapter 874 Everyone’s reaction, encounter in Diagon Alley

As a former Auror and a legendary Auror, Alastor Moody was not an indecisive person. After making his decision, he immediately stepped forward, pulled out a hair from Lenis' head and threw it into the polyjuice potion. , wait for the color of the potion to change and drink it all in one gulp.

The effect was immediate, his face began to become distorted, and the magic eye was pushed out by a real eye like a pinball.

In just a few seconds, he completely transformed into Lenis.

"How do you feel?" Kyle asked curiously.

"I'm not used to it." Moody frowned.

Without the all-round and blind-angle penetrating vision of the Magic Eye, he always felt strange and insecure.

But as long as you get used to it, you can overcome it.

"No, I'm asking about the taste." Kyle said, "Everyone's polyjuice potion tastes different, and I'm quite curious."

"Not very good." Although Moody didn't understand Kyle's brain circuit, he still said truthfully: "It smells salty, a bit like salmon that has been out for a long time."

"Then Professor, you have to try to get used to the stronger taste." Kyle couldn't help laughing: "After all, you will have to drink this stuff often in the future."

"I've never been picky when it comes to taste," Moody said, "but how am I going to give you the information, or here?"

"No, you don't need to do anything." Kyle said, shaking his head.

Moody's opponents are not only those wandering wizards, but may also include Voldemort. The more he does, the more likely he is to make mistakes.

"Before the day when you completely betray the enemy, all you have to do is regard yourself as the real Babollainis. As for when to act, and how to convince those wandering wizards to betray the enemy together... Professor, you should be more experienced than me."

"Of course." Moody nodded after thinking for a moment.

He also had to admit that if he had conveyed the information, the Order of the Phoenix might gain a certain advantage in a short period of time, but once it was discovered, the gains would outweigh the losses.

"That's good." Kyle said, "I will deliver the finished polyjuice potion here on time, or the materials, and teach you which one you need."

"No, I don't need anything." Moody said, "Because this will also increase the possibility of exposure. There are many wandering wizards who smuggle banned herbs. I will find a way to prepare the polyjuice potion myself."

"Are you sure?" Kyle hesitated, "How about I put some away. If you encounter an emergency, you can come here to get it."

"Ha..." Moody glanced at him, feeling that he was being underestimated. "Your father wasn't even born when I was an Auror. Instead of worrying about me here, you should think more about your own safety."

As he spoke, he quickly closed Lenis's clothes, took out something like a water bag, and put the other person in it.

Because the key ingredients for Polyjuice Potion must be replenished at any time, Lenis is of great use and must be kept alive.

If he died, the hair would be useless.

"Okay, you have the final say." Kyle shrugged.

He originally wanted to remind Moody to use Legilimency to familiarize himself with Lenis, but now it seems that there is no need for this. As a veteran Auror, Moody knows better than anyone what to do at this time.

At this time, Cat Leopard, who had left before, returned and leaned next to Kyle and whimpered softly.

"The audience is almost here." Kyle smiled slightly, "Are you ready, Professor, you are about to enter."

"I can't wait for a long time." Moody took a deep breath.

Then, Kyle waved his wand, and a wizard on the ground immediately transformed into Moody.

"My transformation spell is not the most clever. I may be able to trick him in a short time, but it's best not to delay it for too long."

"I told you, you don't need to teach me how to do it." Moody said angrily, and quickly inserted the magic eye in his hand into the eye socket of his other self.

"Do you need me to prepare a funeral for you?" Kyle asked while watching his smooth movements.

"The grander, the better." Moody's mouth twitched, "I have to say, this feeling is really strange."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Kyle said, "If you disappear suddenly, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Death Eaters. When the show starts, we must naturally avoid any possibility of being involved in gangs.

"Oh, by the way, remember to reimburse yourself later. After all, hosting a grand funeral requires a lot of galleons."

When Moody looked up again, Kyle had disappeared.

At the same time, Barty Crouch Jr. and a group of Death Eaters, who heard the commotion, also appeared nearby, trailing black smoke.

"Lennis, you..."

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

…

Kyle stood on a tree at the edge of the woods, watching a dazzling fire suddenly appear in the distance, sighed softly, and left the woods without looking back.

Although it was a temporary idea, he believed that Moody would be fine.

Even Barty Crouch Jr. could hide himself perfectly from Dumbledore, so there's no reason why Moody couldn't hide it from Voldemort.

It's just a pity that 30,000 Galleons.

Kyle thumped his leg in frustration.

Everything happened so fast. Kyle was worried about Moody's safety and had no time to pick up the Galleons scattered on the ground, so he chased after him.

That was 30,000 Galleons. After the box exploded, it was like a Galleons rain. The whole road was dyed gold. Kyle's sacks were ready. But in order to save Moody, nothing was done. Fish for it.

Hmm...can't say that.

Kyle reached into his pocket and took out a gold galleon. The gold coin flew directly into his pocket without picking it up.

That's okay, at least it's not a wasted trip.

Kyle glanced back at the woods again before apparating away.

…

"What did you say, Alastor...is dead?"

Ministry of Magic, Department for the Regulation and Control of Muggle Items.

Mr. Weasley's legs went weak and he knocked over the documents on the table with a plop. He also fell to the ground. Next to him, Lupine, who happened to be here, was pale and clutching his chest. Tonks was holding a handkerchief. He covered his face and cried silently.

"Bang!"

The door to the office was violently knocked open from the outside. Kingsley and Sirius staggered in and almost fell to the ground, but they didn't care at all and stared directly at Kyle.

"What did you just say...that Mad-Eye died?"

They had just wanted to see Mr. Weasley for something, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the shocking news.

"I arrived late." Kyle's face was heavy. "By the time I got to the forest, the battle was over. I found this in a deep pit left by a blasting spell..."

Kyle pursed his lips tightly and took out a broken black buckle.

"This is..." Kingsley's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Mad-Eye's buckle that holds the Magic Eye in place." Lupine finished the second half of the sentence for him.

They were so familiar with this thing that they recognized it as Alastor's almost immediately.

"Impossible!" Kingsley took two steps back. "Mad-Eye is the most powerful Auror. How could he be killed by a group of wandering wizards? I don't believe it!"

As an Auror as well, he was one of the people who knew the strength of Alastor Moody best.

"I don't believe it either, but..."

Kyle pursed his lips tightly and did not continue speaking.

"It's okay, he must have run away." Lu Ping forced an extremely ugly smile, "We all know... Mad-Eye knows a lot of little tricks to protect himself. He, he must want to use this method to deceive Over those Death Eaters."

"Yes." Mr. Weasley also said at the right time: "You didn't see him being killed, right?"

Kyle glanced over his head, deliberately avoiding Mr. Weasley's eyes, but this move, which was tantamount to concealment, made the atmosphere in the office even heavier.

"I don't believe it!" Kingsley turned around and walked out, "I want to go to Cornwall!"

"Don't be impulsive, Kingsley." Lupine quickly grabbed his arm, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"But I can't convince myself to continue waiting here." "Then let's go together, everyone." Sirius walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.

He looked at Kingsley and said seriously: "Let's go together now."

"Sirius, how come you..." Lupine was almost going crazy with anxiety.

Who knows if there are any Voldemort people in Cornwall, or even Voldemort himself? If the Order of the Phoenix rushes over at this time, isn't it a trap for himself?

But no one listened to his suggestion, and several people immediately walked out of the office.

Lupine had no choice but to chase them out, hoping to stop them, "Wait a minute, Sirius, we have to investigate first. If we rush in rashly, we will only fall into their trap..."

The few people walked further and further away, but Kyle did not move, but helped Mr. Weasley who was still sitting on the ground.

"How is this possible? Alastor is a legendary Auror. Even the mysterious man couldn't kill him..." He muttered to himself, as if all his strength had been drained.

Kyle tried to help him back to the Burrow, but Mr. Weasley shook his head.

"Don't tell them yet, at least until the truth is established."

Kyle nodded silently and took him to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Since Mrs. Weasley returned to the Burrow, the place has been temporarily empty.

But today, everyone is back again. Lupine finally succeeded in stopping Sirius and Kingsley who were already on top, and forcibly dragged them back from the entrance of the Magic Department.

Those in the Ministry of Magic may still be unwilling to believe this fact. The reason given by Mr. Weasley is that if Alastor is still alive, spreading false news will affect everyone's morale.

No one objected to this.

"We have to confirm whether Mad-Eye really encountered an accident." Lupine said, he looked at Kyle, "Of course, I don't mean not to believe it, it's just that everything was too sudden..."

"I understand." Kyle nodded, "But the wandering wizard named Barbolenis has reached cooperation with the Death Eaters, and it may be very dangerous if he goes there now.

"If more people go, it is likely to cause greater conflicts and even attract mysterious people."

"It doesn't matter, leave this task to me." Tonks stood up, "I will go explore the situation and I will never be discovered."

"I'm with you." Lupine said immediately.

"Are you a Metamorphmagus?" Tonks glared at him, "Or, can you guarantee that you won't be discovered when you sneak in?"

"No, we can't."

"Then don't cause trouble." Tonks pushed Lupin away without any explanation, "Everyone knows that it is best for me to inquire about information."

"Then I'll go help with the response." Lu Ping said, "Don't look at me like that. This is very necessary. If you send the signal, I can rush to support as soon as possible."

"And I'll go too," Sirius said.

It seems that this is the best way now, and no one objects to it.

That afternoon, the three headed to Cornwall.

Mr. Weasley looked at the backs of several people. After calming down, he always felt that something was wrong.

He vaguely remembered that didn't Kyle say he was just passing on a message? Why did he go to Cornwall and, by coincidence, witness the murder of Alastor.

Where's Dumbledore? Isn't he here?

Although Mr. Weasley felt strange, he didn't think much about it. He just wanted to wait for Tonks and the others to come back. It would be best to tell them that Kyle was wrong and Alastor was not killed.

Because they each had other things to do, the people at No. 12 Grimmauld Place did not stay together for too long and left quickly.

Kyle looked at the empty foyer, thought for a while, and decided to visit Cornwall again.

What he originally wanted to do was to confirm the news of Moody's death as soon as possible. The sooner the news was spread, the safer he would be.

But they didn't expect that Mr. Weasley and the others didn't completely believe what he said and insisted on confirming it.

But it's not surprising that they would have this idea. With Alastor Moody's strength, if he hadn't met Voldemort head-on, it wouldn't have been that easy to kill him, let alone like now, without any news coming out. .

Forget it, just a few days later, and if Sirius and the others went to make trouble, it would also increase their credibility. He believed that Moody could handle it all.

But just in case, it would be better for him to go with him. Even if he is in trouble, he can make up for it according to the situation.

But before that, he needed to buy something.

This incident once again proved the effectiveness of Polyjuice Potion, and he had to replenish it as soon as possible.

Although the sale of this kind of potion was banned by the Ministry of Magic some time ago, the ban does not mean that it is not available.

After Kyle doubled the price, the owner of the potion shop, who had previously vowed to abide by the Ministry of Magic's regulations, turned around and took out three bottles, about a pint.

Of course, Kyle didn't forget to change his appearance. The boss of the province rushed to the Ministry of Magic to report him in the next second.

It is still necessary to take preventive measures before they happen.

After walking out of the store, Kyle turned to look at the sign behind him.

"A big pot of potion."

Wait a little longer, and when time gets back on track, go find Fred and George. They seem to have the authority to seal down illegal stores.

Maybe I can get back the extra Galleons I spent... I guess.

Kyle shook his head, no longer thinking about this, and was ready to set off immediately to find Sirius and the others in the woods.

But when passing by Gringotts, two people caught his eye.

Although one of them was wearing a hood, the few strands of platinum-blonde hair exposed clearly showed his identity.

Lucius Malfoy?

Kyle frowned, wasn't he following Barty Crouch Jr. in Cornwall?

If he remembered correctly, he was the one who threw the box before.

But why did Lucius appear in Diagon Alley? Things over in Cornwall are over?

The more Kyle thought about it, the weirder it became, and he followed it subconsciously.

"The family treasury only allows members of the Malfoy family to enter. There is no point in following you. Just wait here." At the door of Gringotts, Malfoy turned to another Death Eater and said.

"Hurry up." The other party raised his head and said sadly: "This is a good opportunity for you to atone for your sins. I hope you will not disappoint the Dark Lord."

"No need for you to remind me." Lucius said coldly and walked into Gringotts without looking back.

The Dark Lord?

Atoning for one's sins?

Kyle lowered his head, pretending to be a passerby going to get money, and followed him into Gringotts.

The purpose of Lucius coming here... Needless to say, it must be to withdraw money, and the amount should not be small.

Cornwall just threw out 30,000 galleons, which should not be a small amount even for the Malfoy family.

How long has it been, come again?

Could it be that Voldemort wanted to drain the Malfoy family dry?

But Malfoy seems to have only this use, the mobile wallet... Otherwise, just losing the diary at him would be enough to be killed by Voldemort ten times.

This is really... self-inflicted.

Kyle walked into Gringotts, but he didn't attract much attention. After all, there was Malfoy, a big customer in front of him.

Kyle touched his robe and looked as if he had forgotten his key, then turned around and walked out naturally.

Just the moment he walked out of the door, with the door blocking his view, his body quickly changed. His robe turned into a black hood, and his hair quickly grew longer, turning from black to platinum blonde.
