Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 711 Kyle’s decision

When the outside gradually became quiet, Kyle and the others took Mr. Fusco away from Knockturn Alley, which had no light at all.

 All the Death Eaters have been captured, twenty-five in total, which is a lot of people.

 It can be seen that they came to Diagon Alley for some big move this time. In addition to kidnapping a few shopkeepers, they may also want to make a big move.

 But no matter what their plan was, it was doomed to fail now.

Scrimgeour was counting the number of Auror casualties, while Sirius and Mr. Weasley and other members of the Order of the Phoenix who came to help were counting the number of Death Eaters and their corresponding wands.

"This is a great victory!" Fred said with a smile, "Thanks to your information, Kyle, the mysterious man must be very angry this time."

“I told you that the information was not provided by me, but by a righteous wizard who did not want to be named.” Kyle said seriously.

He is becoming more and more valuable to Voldemort. What if one day the other party becomes angry and comes to deal with him personally... So for the sake of your own safety, I might as well waive some of the credit if possible.

Kyle came to the door of Florin's Cold Drink Shop and asked: "Mr. Fusco, do you know why the Death Eaters want to arrest you?"

“Well, see you tomorrow,” Mr. Weasley said, waving his hand. “Come here, kids, we’re getting ready to go home.”

 On the other side, members of the Order of the Phoenix were also gathered around.

 “Here we come, daddy.”

The most famous thing about Ollivander is his knowledge of wands.

 “Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”

 After working with everyone to restore Diagon Alley to its original state, they were ready to return to the Ministry of Magic.

"That's what I want to know too." Fusco also didn't understand how he, an ice cream seller, could become the target of the Death Eaters. It couldn't be that they were interested in his secret recipe for making ice cream.

“I would like to think that Fudge is still waiting to report.” Kyle sighed, “Such a big thing happened, and it was the first major victory for the Ministry of Magic. He must not be able to wait to announce the news.

“Kyle, it’s too late now, why don’t you go back first.” Chris said.

Several elevators were full, and Kyle and Chris had to wait for the next one.

"Of course, this is what it should be." Lupine said, "Sirius, you should go back quickly. I think Harry must be waiting for you."

Even if it is, is that thing worth more than twenty Death Eaters snatching? Isn’t it too exaggerated?

Mr. Fusco shook his head and sighed with a speechless expression.

Although it is late at night, the main hall is still brightly lit and many people are here.

Sirius couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Harry... Some people were worried that he felt pretty good, feeling like he was back when he just graduated.

There are more than twenty Death Eaters. This is their biggest gain since Voldemort's comeback. It can be said to be a complete victory.

For a moment, Fusco seemed to have thought of something. He stretched out his hand and wanted to call Kyle, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't shout and just returned to the store with a serious expression.

As long as he told it in advance, no Death Eaters were required to take action. He would take the initiative to contribute the secret recipe, and any flavor would be fine.

Kyle naturally didn’t know anything about what happened behind him.

With more than twenty Death Eaters captured, the Aurors are destined to work overtime. Kyle also needs to compile a detailed report as soon as possible... This is also his job as a senior assistant to the minister.

 “I wish Mum had left us some supper, I’m so hungry,” said Fred.

Mr. Fusco stood at the door of the store, looking at the wand in Kyle's hand in a daze. Subconsciously, he suddenly thought of Ollivander, who was regarded as another target by the Death Eaters.

“So this report must be handed in tomorrow morning before the Daily Prophet goes to press.”

"How about... you write it for me." Kyle glanced at Chris, "You have written so many reports before, and this one is not bad."

“That’s up to you,” Sirius said. “Don’t let them get away again.”

 “No, I’m in Diagon Alley.”

After being attacked for no reason, Mr. Fusco seemed to lose his temper and said angrily: "Let the Death Eaters come if they want. No matter what they want, I can't let them get their wish!"

"Okay, Mr. Fusco." Kyle continued: "If you think of anything, remember to tell us as soon as possible. In addition, in order to prevent Death Eaters from attacking again, you'd better find a safe place during this period. place.

"I believe you are determined, Mr. Fusco, but you still have to be vigilant," Kyle said, and then he turned and left.

 “There must be,” said Mr. Weasley.

Kyle took out his wand and extinguished the nearest fire that was still burning. The bricks and stones scattered on the ground slowly floated up and fell back to their original positions.

There is still a lot of aftermath work to do. More than 20 Death Eaters were arrested at one time. The commotion caused was not small. The entire street suffered varying degrees of damage.

Kyle also saw it. He did not know and did not lie.

"Leave the rest to you, we won't be involved." Mr. Weasley said to Lupin: "I haven't had time to inform Molly before, I think she must be very anxious now."

Everyone separated in the Leaky Cauldron. Kyle and the Aurors used the dedicated floo network to return to the Ministry of Magic.

 The Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, Amelia Bones, was the first to come over and headed to the courtroom with the Aurors.

Fred and George ran over first, followed by Bill and Charlie.

 After seeing the Death Eaters brought back by the Aurors, a burst of irrepressible cheers suddenly erupted in the main hall.

 “But now it’s time for midnight snack.”

 Of course, if you have a better place to go, that’s fine. "

I suggest you stay in Diagon Alley. The Ministry of Magic will send additional manpower here after today. It is relatively safe.

"Ah, I seem to have lost something." Chris suddenly slapped his forehead, "It must have fallen on the road. You go up first, I have to look for it."

 After saying that, he lowered his head and walked quickly to the other side of the main hall.

Kyle twitched the corner of his mouth and felt speechless for a while... If he didn't want to write a report, he just said it. He also said that he had lost something. This crude excuse was not at all new.

Just as I was thinking about it, the elevator came.

Kyle walked in.

 Since there was no one else, he quickly came to the first floor.

 Fudge is not here, he should have gone to the courtroom as well.

Kyle returned to his office, sat at the table and wrote a report.

 …

 Because there were so many Death Eaters and Aurors involved, it was already early in the morning by the time Kyle finished writing.

 He threw away the quill in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

No wonder his father doesn’t want to write a report so much. This thing is really torturous.

 You have to think of something.

 Shorthand quill?

　　No, the traces of that thing are too heavy, and the disadvantages are also obvious. It is okay for copying things, but it is too forced to write reports and it is easy to be seen.

Have to find a way to improve it. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is still worth it to save a lot of time in writing reports.

Thinking of this, Kyle cheered up, took a thick stack of reports, and prepared to send them to the minister's office next door.

While in the corridor, he happened to meet Fudge coming out of the elevator. "Oh, Kyle, I was just going to find you." Fudge looked very happy and said excitedly: "A great victory, a great victory. More than twenty Death Eaters were captured. The wizarding world has not been like this for a long time. Exciting news.

“Haha, those guys who didn’t take it seriously before were all dumbfounded when they saw the Death Eaters in the trial room.”

"Yeah," Kyle said. "It's a good thing the Auror Office didn't listen to them."

"Thanks to the news you sent, I can't wait to know how everyone will react when they see tomorrow's newspaper." Fudge continued: "But before that, I need your help to sort out the detailed process. After all, tomorrow It will be all over the front page."

 “I’ve already written it.” Kyle handed over the pile of reports in his hand.

"Well done, Kyle, I knew it was right to leave it to you." Fudge said happily, "Don't worry, you will definitely see your name in the most conspicuous place in the newspaper tomorrow."

"No, Minister." Kyle shook his head, "This matter is the work of the Auror Office. It is the Aurors who capture the Death Eaters and protect everyone. I only participated in the aftermath, nothing else. Do."

"There is no need to belittle yourself." Fudge shook his head, "If it weren't for the news you sent, they would have succeeded. Of course you have the credit."

"No." Kyle still shook his head, "I just received an anonymous letter."

 “Anonymous letter…” Fudge frowned. "Where is the letter?"

"I destroyed it automatically after reading it," Kyle said. "I think protective magic should have been applied in advance to prevent it from falling into the hands of Death Eaters later."

"Are you so cautious?" Fudge was even more confused. "But who would tell us such important news? Could it be a Death Eater?"

“I think so too, after all, only Death Eaters can know the mysterious man’s plan.”

“There are so many Death Eaters, who is this person?”

"I don't know about that." Kyle thought for a while, "But the letter mentioned Professor Umbridge, and the person who wrote the letter also said that he knew that even if she was tortured twice by the Cruciatus Curse, she would still persist in resisting. It was the actions of the Death Eaters that made him determined to betray the mysterious man.

“So I think this credit should belong to Professor Umbridge.”

"Have you decided? This is a great opportunity to improve your reputation." Fudge said softly: "You obviously don't have to tell me this. After all, only you have read the letter. If you don't tell, no one will know this."

"Of course, Minister, I've decided," Kyle said.

Fudge nodded and glanced at Kyle with some sigh, "If Dolores knew about it, she would be proud of having taught you."

"This is what I should do." Kyle said with a smile: "Minister, if there is nothing else, can I get off work first?"

"Oh, is it so late? I didn't even notice." Fudge suddenly said: "I originally wanted you to go and observe the trial, but if you insist, of course it's no problem... The ministry needs to send a car to take you back. ?"

"No, as long as the ministry allows me to use Apparition once," Kyle said, "I missed the Apparition exam and have to wait until next year."

"I remembered, you were still capturing dementors at that time." Fudge said nonchalantly: "Okay, feel free to use it, I agree.

“In addition, the Apparition test is also exempted, just think of it as this reward.”

 “But Minister, is this appropriate?”

“Don’t worry, we all know that that kind of exam won’t trouble you at all, right?”

 …

 After Fudge returned to the office with the report, Kyle also took the elevator and came to the foyer where Ministry of Magic staff disapparated.

By the time Kyle arrived at Grimmauld Place, a faint light could already be seen in the sky.

At this time, Kyle thought everyone had gone to bed, but when he opened the door, he realized that the lights were still on in the room.

“It’s okay, Dad, it’s Kyle who’s back.”

Bill poked his head out from a room and said, "Come here and have something to eat, or Fred and George will eat it all in a while."

“Hey, Bill, it’s not as exaggerated as you said. Charlie obviously ate more!”

Hearing that there was food, Kyle walked over quickly.

 The lighted place is the kitchen. Except for Sirius, everyone who has returned before is here. There are several bottles of wine, a few pieces of bread, a plate of cornflakes, and a plate of corned beef on the dining table.

“How are you? Did you get any useful information?” Mr. Weasley pushed the bread in front of Kyle.

"I don't know." Kyle said, "I have been writing reports and have not gone to the interrogation room. However, I don't think the Aurors can ask for useful information."

 “Why?” Charlie didn’t understand.

"Do you know any of the Death Eaters who were caught?" Kyle asked.

 Charlie thought for a moment and shook his head.

 He had seen them before, but they were all new faces and he didn’t recognize anyone.

"That's the reason." Kyle took a piece of bread, "Everyone who came to Diagon Alley this time, except for Antonin Dolohov, should be here to make up the numbers and sabotage them, but they don't necessarily know. What important news."

 “It’s a pity that Dolohov ran away,” Mr. Weasley said regretfully.

　　The Auror who had gone after him lost track of Dolohov deep in Knockturn Alley and came back empty-handed.

"No way, he knows Knockturn Alley better than we do." Charlie said, "Kyle, would you like some brandy?"

Kyle had already celebrated his seventeenth birthday, so he could naturally drink. However, after taking a look at the corn flakes and corned beef on the table, he hesitated.

 He would rather eat something than drink.

Just at this moment, the house elf Kreacher came over and asked earnestly: "Master Kyle, do you want some midnight snack?"

Kyle glanced at the few corned beef and corn chips left on the table, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then just have some sandwiches, please."

"It's Kreacher's pleasure!" screamed the elf, who looked excited and ran into the kitchen happily.

“Oh, keep your voice down.” Fred reminded from the side: “Mom was worried all night and finally fell asleep. I hope I didn’t wake her up just now.”

"Sorry," Kyle said, "I forgot that house elves can be agitated sometimes."

“It’s none of your business,” George said, “but I don’t understand why the elf wasn’t so attentive when we got back.”

“Yeah, he didn’t even want to find a cup for us.”

 The two complained about the different treatment of the house elves, but Mr. Weasley did not find it strange.

He had already learned about Regulus from Sirius. As a house elf of the Black family, Kreacher would naturally be particularly affectionate towards Kyle, which was not surprising.

While waiting, Kyle suddenly thought of something and asked: "Mr. Weasley, do you know why the Death Eaters wanted to capture Fosco?"

“I don’t know, maybe I arrested the wrong person.” Mr. Weasley thought for a moment and said, “Maybe I offended them somehow.

"Or the name of the mysterious man." Bill said.

Other than this reason, they couldn't think of any other reason why the Death Eaters would go to such trouble to arrest an ice cream shop owner.

They chatted for a while, and soon Kreacher came back. In addition to the sandwich Kyle asked for, he also made fried potatoes, grilled sausages, and a whole roasted chicken.

Seeing this, Fred and George felt even more unbalanced. They decided to turn their grief and anger into appetite, grabbed the grilled sausage in front of them and stuffed it into their mouths.

Kreacher looked at them from the side with a gloomy expression, but the two of them paid no attention to it. Even Fred raised his eyebrows at him proudly, and then picked up the second sausage.

“I finally understand why Kreacher doesn’t want to see you.” Kyle said with a smile.
