Chapter 690 King's Cross Station, Nervous Aurors



But there are exceptions.

"Help us see which clothes are suitable for us to wear?"

On the train, Fred and George held two jackets of different colors and gestured with them.

"We bought it in Hogsmeade...

"I'm planning on wearing it to the opening of Weasley's Joke Shop..."

"It's used to support the occasion..."

"They are all top-grade fire dragon skins. They cost us a lot of money!"

Fred sounded a little distressed when he spoke, and it was obvious that these two sets of clothes were really expensive.

"Black, right..." Kyle looked up. "Black is more solemn."

"But we think green is good." George hesitated. "We run a joke prop store, so we don't need to be solemn. Black seems more suitable for banquets and big business talks...

"You've even considered this kind of thing?" Qiu raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief.

Their store hasn't even opened yet, but they're already considering attending the banquet and discussing business? "It's only a matter of time," Fred said confidently, "Maybe we can even acquire Zonko and open another branch in Hogsmeade."

"Then I wish you success."

Cedric pulled the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and then pretended nothing happened, "But, I also think black is more suitable, I think you can use it."

"is that so?"

Fred and George didn't quite understand, but since both of them said so, they simply put on the jacket.

After all, it is an expensive item, and the effect is better than the school robes. After Fred and George put them on, they looked completely different.

It feels like... well, office elite.

"Kyle, what are you laughing at?" George frowned and glanced at Fred opposite him.

The clothes fit well, there's nothing wrong with them.

"I thought of something happy." Kyle tried not to look so gloating.

"I think you should also ask Mr. Weasley for his opinion. Perhaps he can give you a more pertinent answer."

"Ask Dad?" Fred thought for a moment and shook his head gently. "Forget it. He often works in the Ministry of Magic and can't visit Diagon Alley more than twice a year. How can he know what to wear when running a joke shop?"

"But he knows what to wear to the Ministry," said Kyle.

"Haha, yeah, just do the opposite of what he does."

Fred and George thought it was just a mildly amusing remark from Kyle and didn't take it seriously, so they put on another jacket.

Cedric, who knew the truth, could only pinch his thigh hard to prevent himself from laughing.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound outside the door, interrupting their conversation.

"Oh, what are those little brats doing!" Fred said in a pretentious tone.

At this time, Cedric had already opened the door of the box and walked out.

Although he had graduated, he was still the Head Boy of the Hogwarts Student Union and was also responsible for maintaining order on the train before the train arrived at King's Cross Station.

"It's okay!" George suddenly patted Kyle's shoulder, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"When school starts next time, you will be the only male student union president."

"Ah?" Kyle blinked, and then he remembered that when he became the senior assistant minister, he also had the title of president of the male student union.

But he never cared about anything, and the school didn't remove Cedric from his position, so he almost forgot about it.

"I really hope Cedric can postpone his graduation for a year." Kyle rubbed his forehead and said from the bottom of his heart.

In the past two years, his duties as prefect were directly pushed onto Cedric, not to mention the more busy male student union president.

If he had known this, he would not have allowed Cedric to work at the Ministry of Magic.

"Hehe..." Fred laughed gloatingly beside him, "Sure, if Cedric's NEWT scores are all "T", maybe he can delay his graduation for a year."

George also smiled and said, "But even little Ron can't get this kind of score."

"Perhaps, he can..."

The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Kyle didn't bother to pay attention to them and left the box.

It's easy to find where the riots are happening; that's where there are the most people.

Not far from them, there was a group of people gathered.

When Kyle walked over, he saw Justin Finch-Fletchley and Susan Bones explaining something to Cedric.

"They were the first to start..." Justin said excitedly, "I heard it all when I was in the box. They wanted to cause trouble for Harry. As members of the DA, we can't just pretend we didn't hear it."

"That's right." Hannah also said angrily, "They are so mean. They even said they would knock Harry unconscious and throw him on the luggage rack."

Kyle walked over and subconsciously raised his head and looked at the luggage rack.

There were five things crammed into school robes, wriggling and struggling, looking like five giant slugs.

"Well... we just took their suggestions into consideration." Susan said with a wandering look in her eyes.

Kyle remembered that she seemed to have said a long time ago that she wanted to teach a few Slytherins a lesson.

"Who are they?"

"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle..." Mikkel said immediately.

"And Pansy and Millicent," Susan added.

Well, the truth is out, even people are the same.

When it was first announced that Voldemort had returned, they were the ones who looked the most smug and laughed the loudest.

It was precisely because of this behavior that made Mikel and Susan so angry that they even discussed whether to cover their heads and beat them up.

Kyle raised his head again and took a look at the people who were wrapped tightly... In this situation, it can be considered that they have fulfilled their promise.

On the other side, Ron and Harry, who came over to check the situation, were laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"I bet Lucius was there that day at the Ministry."

When Kyle returned to the box, Harry and the others followed him in. He said confidently, "I saw it. It was the same platinum blond hair as Malfoy."

"That must be why Malfoy wants to take revenge on you...that coward," said Ron.

"I wanted him to come to me," Kyle said, "but he didn't come."

"Unless Malfoy is crazy." Harry couldn't help laughing and subconsciously glanced at the luggage rack in Kyle's box, but did not see the familiar suitcase.

Come to think of it, Kyle definitely wouldn't just leave such a dangerous thing aside.

"By the way, what happened that day?" Ron asked curiously, "Why do I feel like Malfoy and his people are avoiding Kyle these days?"

When Kyle rushed over that day, he and Hermione had already fainted and didn't see anything. When they woke up again, they were already in the school hospital.

"Nothing..." Harry glanced at Kyle secretly, "It's just that the headmaster and Kyle arrived in time and saved us."

It wasn't that he wanted to hide it from Ron and Hermione, it was mainly because Kyle didn't let him tell. And if Ron knew that he had been with the dragon and the three-headed dog for so long while he was unconscious, he would probably faint again.

"I see." Ron nodded and said, "It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't catch Malfoy, otherwise we could have sent him to Azkaban."

"It's useless." Hermione shook her head. "Dementors are no longer reliable. A large number of them have joined the You-Know-Who."

"Even if it's just for a few days," said Ron, and then he suddenly noticed Fred and George's new clothes.

"The highest quality dragon leather." Fred raised his eyebrows and gently pulled the zipper.

The scaly patterns sparkled in the sun, and Ron was envious.

Because there were a few more people, the return journey was even more lively.

Kyle noticed that when Harry was playing wizard chess with Cedric, he would always steal glances at Qiu intentionally or unintentionally, but he would always look away after a second.

It can be seen that he hasn't completely given up.

Kyle rubbed his chin with interest, wondering whether he should remind Cedric that someone was trying to poach him.

But Kyle quickly dismissed the idea.

Although it was unfair to Harry to say this, he really couldn't think of any way in which Harry was better than Cedric.

Perhaps the identity of a savior counts as one, but Qiu obviously doesn't value this.

On the other side, Hermione found Connor with a thick book "Advanced Potion Making" and a bottle, and asked some questions about potions.

Kanna only took a glance and pointed out her problem.

"You put too few sunflower petals in, and the cooking time was not enough, one minute less."

"But the book says that only three sunflowers are enough." Hermione asked doubtfully, "I counted them, and they are correct."

"Oh, there's a step missing from the book." This time Kanna didn't even look at the book, and said directly: "You should crush the petals first, so that the juice inside can be integrated into the potion faster. If you don't crush them, putting one more petal can also have the same effect."

Hermione glanced at the book again, frowning and saying nothing.

"Are you guys exaggerating?" Ron couldn't help but say, "It's vacation time now, do you still need to read?"

"Why not?" Hermione said angrily, "Even Headmaster Dumbledore said that we need more knowledge to protect ourselves.

During the holidays, you can't use magic, so potions are your only option. Prepare some healing potions, they will definitely come in handy."

"I don't think Mum would approve of me fiddling with a cauldron at home," Ron muttered.

"No, you're wrong." Fred came over and said, "If you have this idea, Mom will be very happy."

"She'll even tear up the kitchen to give you enough room for your cauldron," said George.

Ron mumbled something, as if he was making another excuse, but no one could hear what he said.

Harry next to him also lowered his head, pretending to think about what to do next.

If there was one subject at Hogwarts that they disliked the most... Umbridge's Defense Against the Dark Arts was the first, followed by Snape's Potions.

And he had to go back to Privet Drive to live for a while during this holiday.

Although Harry didn't understand, he had no choice since Dumbledore and Sirius said so.

He had to live in Privet Drive for a full month before he could move to Number 12 Grimmauld Place, and he believed that his aunt and uncle would definitely not want to see things like cauldrons and potions in their house.

I don't know how long it was before the train finally began to slow down.

Kyle and his companions changed out of their wizard robes in advance, and after the train came to a stop with smoke, they got off the train dragging their suitcases as usual.

There was a long queue at the platform exit, and only two or three people were allowed to pass at a time. After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived outside the platform.

There were more people coming to pick them up this time than last year.

Chris and Diana were both there, as well as the Weasleys, Moody who had returned early last night, Tonks, Lupin, Sirius, and Auror Kingsley.

Of course, these people behind were probably here to pick up Harry and had nothing to do with him... Well, they might also be here to guard against another person.

Newt Scamander.

For some reason, he had come too and was standing there looking at Kyle with a smile.

"Oh, honey." Diana went forward and hugged Kyle. "How was school?"

"That's fine," Kyle said. He noticed that there were more Aurors and strikers around King's Cross Station, all of them staring at Newt nervously, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Why are you here?" Kyle looked at Newt and asked curiously.

"I went to help Dumbledore solve some problems..." Newt said with a smile, "I happened to pass by here on my way back, so I stopped by."

"Yes, those guards?" Kyle asked.

Newt smiled and nodded.

Behind Kyle, Hermione, who was talking to Mr. Granger, had been staring at Newt, and suddenly lowered her voice and shouted, "I remember, he is Mr. Newt Scamander! Oh my God, I can't believe that I can meet this legendary master of magical animals."

"Scamander?" Mr. Granger asked doubtfully. "Is he famous?"

"He's a household name in the wizarding world." Hermione said excitedly. She opened her box and searched for something inside. "I want to ask him for an autograph... Where's my copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? I remember putting it in the box... Ah, I found it."

When Hermione walked over with the book, Newt happily signed his name on it.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Weasley was hugging Fred and George tightly, looking very happy.

Moody, Lupin and Sirius were explaining something to Vernon Dursley with serious faces.

Dursley's face turned red with anger. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw Moody take off his hat, revealing his spinning magic eye.

Vernon Dursley jumped back in shock, bumping hard into a luggage trolley, his temper instantly gone.

"Don't be confused. We will understand," said Lupin kindly. "In the meantime, if you don't let Harry use the intercom..."

"It's the phone," Harry whispered.

"Yeah, that's what I mean..." Lupin nodded, "If we can't contact Harry, you'll be in big trouble."

Not sure if it was because of the fear of these people or because of the bottle cap-sized piece of gold in his hand, Vernon finally snorted roughly and agreed.

"Well, it's not safe here, let's go back quickly." said Mr. Weasley.

"Where are you going?" Chris asked.

"The Square," said Mr. Weasley vaguely. "Aren't you?"

"No, we have to go home first." Chris shook his head.

"Do you need a ride?" Mr. Weasley said, "We have three cars this time."

"No, we'll Apparate back."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow." Mr. Weasley and Sirius left with the children.

Kyle looked around, ready to say goodbye to Kanna, but strangely, he didn't find Kanna.

"Didn't she come out of the platform?" Kyle asked puzzledly.

"She came out." Qiu said, "I was with her."

"What about her?"

Just when Kyle was puzzled, Diana seemed to see an acquaintance suddenly, waved and shouted: "Hey, Severus, is that you?"

Following her gaze, Kyle also saw a man wearing a black cloak and with greasy hair. Who else could it be but Snape? And Connor was next to him.

But Snape acted as if he didn't hear Diana's voice, and even walked faster.

Kanna turned around and spread her hands helplessly towards Kyle.
