After asking several times but still getting no response, Kyle had no choice but to put the diary back into the box.
Is it dead already? That's boring, he has something more exciting to tell... er, I haven't told you yet.
The psychological endurance is really poor.
Kyle put the box and the ink bottle back under the bed, then sorted the parchments on the table.
After a careful inspection, Kyle found two more errors, all of which were details that could be overlooked if one was not careful.
One of them might be a coincidence, but three in a row are problematic...obviously intentional.
Riddle is indeed not an honest child. It's only been a few days and he's already thinking about causing trouble.
Kyle shook his head and looked through the other contents on the parchment while comparing them with the "Collection of Magical Symbols".
…
"Kyle, where have you been all day?"
It was getting dark. Kyle had just arrived at the Great Hall after leaving the Room of Requirement when Fred and George ran over and pulled him to sit down at the Gryffindor table.
"I'm reading." Kyle said, "What's wrong?"
"Reading... all day?" Fred was a little incredulous.
"Besides, you didn't even have lunch!" George said, "We waited for you in the auditorium for two hours at noon."
"I was so engrossed in watching it that I forgot about it," Kyle explained calmly.
"What do you want from me?"
"No wonder you got full marks..." Fred muttered quietly, but did not ask any further questions.
He pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet.
"I know why Lucius Malfoy was so angry, look at this!"
Looking at the familiar photo of a speeding car on the front page of the Daily Prophet, Kyle was slightly stunned.
"What are you doing with newspapers from a few days ago?"
"This is today's newspaper, but it uses the same photo."
George pointed to the striking headline above the photo: "The conspiracy at King's Cross Station. The savior's life hangs on a thread."
Still an article by Rita Skeeter.
But unlike the last time where the whole article condemned Mr. Weasley, in this article, he suddenly turned into a positive character who was meticulous and planned before doing anything.
It’s just a short sentence…but this is Rita Skeeter’s article, so it’s rare to have so many compliments.
Beyond that, the rest of the content isn’t so friendly.
"We understand that on the first day of school at Hogwarts, the entrance to Platform 9 was suddenly closed ahead of schedule, preventing two students from entering the platform.
An insider revealed that one of the two students was actually Harry Potter who defeated the mysterious man..."
The article describes the scene in great detail, as if she were there.
"It would take a very advanced Confusion Charm to close the platform in advance, which even the Aurors may not be able to do easily...
But according to a student's parent, he seemed to have seen a man in a black robe at King's Cross Station... and that dress was very similar to that of the infamous Death Eaters.
The person in charge of guarding the platform at the Ministry of Magic also said that when the entrance was closed, he was clearing the memory of a Muggle family... Because they were attracted by the cry of an owl, they accidentally saw a wizard enter the platform. "
…
Kyle turned to Fred and George and asked, "Were you seen by the Muggles?"
The Weasleys were the only wizards to enter the platform before the entrance was sealed.
"No...right?" George wasn't sure.
"But we didn't hear any owls when we were at King's Cross."
Kyle nodded and continued reading.
And that person may be hiding among the parents sending their children to school..."
"We got a letter from home this morning."
There was a hint of amusement in Fred's voice, "Dad's investigation is over."
"This is all thanks to you, Kyle." George walked up and patted him on the shoulder.
Kyle shook his head.
In fact, even without him, Dumbledore would not sit idly by and watch Mr. Weasley lose his job, it's just that it wouldn't happen so quickly.
"It seems that Lucius Malfoy should have received the news in advance and knew that Mr. Weasley was fine."
Kyle laughed and said, "No wonder he said yesterday that "Weasley" would not always be so lucky, instead of "you"..."
"That's it."
Fred couldn't help laughing and said, "And that's not all. Look at this!"
He turned the page of the newspaper and saw another paragraph on the back.
"The member of the Ministry of Magic guarding the platform said that he saw a total of six wizards at King's Cross Station, including Lucius Malfoy..."
When Kyle saw the name, he immediately understood what Fred and George meant.
Lucius was already a suspected Death Eater. Given Fudge's character, he might have investigated him after knowing this.
"Rita Skeeter...that's amazing."
Fred smacked his lips and said, "We prepared three letters in total, but only sent one."
"The remaining two letters have been thrown away." George spread his hands and said, "She wrote much more details than we did."
"It may be that someone else has written to her as well."
At this time, Harry said thoughtfully: "Look here... Only people in the school know that I hit the Whomping Willow, but she also knows it."
"Yes, we thought so too." George smiled.
Although the development of the matter was a little beyond their expectations, as long as Mr. Weasley could successfully pass the investigation, it didn't matter who wrote the letter.
…
In the wizarding world, any topic related to the You-Know-Who or the Death Eaters would immediately become a hot topic.
Although a whole day had passed, people in the hall would still steal glances at Harry from time to time during dinner.
In the guest of honor seat, Lockhart was also talking about this matter with other professors, saying that he was not at the station at that time, otherwise he would have caught the Death Eater.
As for Harry... he didn't care about the looks of these people.
The main reason is that after so much time, he has long been used to it... This is still good, it was even more exaggerated when he first entered school last year.
And he had something else on his mind.
To be honest, after reading today's Daily Prophet, even Harry himself began to doubt whether this was true.
It's all such a coincidence.
He couldn't help but think again of the house-elf named Dobby who had stolen his letters during the holidays and caused him to be warned by the Ministry of Magic.
The other party also didn't want him to return to Hogwarts.
Why on earth did it do this? Was it related to the incident on the platform? Was it related to Voldemort... or the Death Eaters?
Harry was puzzled.
