Fred was so excited that he almost jumped up. He even suspected that Kyle's head was stepped on by the Moon Beast.

"How could you...oh, wait a minute." He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something. "You are not planning to ambush the Death Eaters in the castle."

“As expected, my friend is smart enough.” Kyle grinned, “Yes, that’s what I thought.

"Think about it, the ambitious Death Eaters followed Malfoy's advice, climbed through the Vanishing Cabinet and came to Hogwarts, but when they looked up, they saw seven or eight professors holding wands waiting for them..."

"That scene must be exciting!" Fred's face had already turned red at some point, and he was extremely excited.

"Great, this plan is simply great!" George also panted, as if he had already seen the scene of Death Eaters lining up to offer warmth.

Excited, they immediately gathered together and began to discuss how to set traps in Hogwarts.

Tie the Vanishing Cabinet to a flying broom and send it high into the sky...

Put the vanishing cabinet into the sewer pipe...

Dig a swamp the size of a Quidditch pitch in front of the Vanishing Cabinet.

…

The two of them came up with bad ideas like a fountain, one after another.

Kyle sat nearby, writing down all their ideas with a shorthand quill.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Fred and George gradually calmed down.

"That's not right." George paused abruptly, then turned around and asked, "Kyle, two Vanishing Cabinets are needed to be useful, right? You just said you found one, but what about the other one? Is it also in Hogwarts?"

"There's only one Hogwarts," said Kyle.

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing their enthusiasm.

But after calming down, they immediately remembered another thing Kyle had just said.

"The other Vanishing Cabinet, it won't be in Knockturn Alley."

There was no reason for Kyle to ask them to pay attention to the situation between Knockturn Alley and Malfoy. Putting the two things together, the truth was obvious.

Another Vanishing Cabinet was in Knockturn Alley, and Malfoy knew that he had to go there if he wanted to complete his plan.

So that's it... Now everything makes sense.

"Let's go to Diagon Alley now!" Fred stood up and was about to walk out.

"Don't worry." Kyle waved his hand, signaling them to be patient.

"It doesn't matter when we go, it doesn't matter if we go earlier or later, I just want to confirm it this time."

"Confirm what?"

"Of course, it's whether the cabinet is still there." Kyle said, "It's unlikely that Malfoy would run around with the cabinet. If it's still there, we only need to keep an eye on Knockturn Alley to know the exact time of their action."

"What if Malfoy took the cabinet away?" Fred asked. "That's not difficult. A box with a traceless extension charm can do it."

"That would be a bit troublesome, but we need to ask everyone to be prepared at all times," Kyle said.

"Dad, do they know about this?"

"He should know." Kyle thought for a moment, "I have already discussed this with Professor Dumbledore. There is no reason for him not to tell other members of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Dad and the others must know!" George said suddenly, "Remember, when they were discussing things last time, Alastor suddenly mentioned the 'passage', and Tonks and Sirius were almost living in Hogsmeade."

"They know everything, but they just don't tell us!" George was getting angrier and angrier. "They always treat us like children like Ginny."

"Yeah, we've all graduated, but we still don't get enough trust." Fred was also very indignant. "Bill and Charlie can participate in the meeting, but we can't. We can only eavesdrop from outside!"

"Don't say that." Kyle quickly comforted him: "This is also for your safety."

"But we want to help too." Fred took a deep breath, "Kyle, do you know why we haven't resigned yet?"

"Thinking working at the Ministry would be interesting?" said Kyle.

“That was the case for the first two months,” Fred said, “but then it got boring.”

"Every day I have to do the same repetitive tasks, write reports, and waste time tracking down small vendors..."

"And that little salary can be earned in two days in the store..."

"The reason we didn't quit our jobs was because we wanted to help Dad share some of the burden."

"And by the way, let mom see that we can actually help."

"But she never seemed to notice any of this."

Looking at the two people who were gradually losing hope, Kyle didn't know how to comfort them for a moment, and could only whisper: "Are you thinking too much?"

"What's the meaning?"

"That is, do you want to take over Charlie's job and be responsible for the security of number 12 Grimmauld Place?"

"No." Fred and George shook their heads at the same time. It would be better to just cast a Killing Curse on them than to let them stay in the same place for a whole day.

"Or to Hogsmeade?"

The two shook their heads again. Isn't this the same thing? It's just that Hogsmeade is a little bigger.

"That's it." Kyle said, "Since you don't want to do anything, why are you complaining so much? Mrs. Weasley has taken good care of you."

Fred and George looked at each other in bewilderment. The aggrieved and dissatisfied atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and it was even a little awkward.

"How about I go talk to her and ask you to replace Tonks and Sirius." Kyle suggested, "Or I can go talk to Dumbledore directly."

“Forget it, forget it…”

“No need…”

"We were just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"

…

Ten minutes later, Ron knocked on the door and told them to go to lunch.

"What are you talking about in there?" Ron asked, looking at the three people suspiciously.

"nothing."

"It's none of your business," said Fred. "Don't mind your own business."

"You should think about how to take care of that girl."

"What's your name... Lavender?"

"What a shame, your eyesight is so bad at such a young age, but you actually think you are...handsome?"

"You peeked at my letter!" Ron's face turned red.

"Don't get me wrong, we don't have this habit." George said seriously, "You said your beliefs when you were talking in your sleep, and the sound was particularly loud."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Harry."

"You didn't memorize that letter, did you?"

Then they began to recite with great emotion.

"Luo-Luo, why is this holiday so long..."

"Ro-Ro..."

Fred and George seemed to have some talent. As soon as they opened their mouths, Kyle felt a chill all over his body.

And Ron, his face flushed, shouted, "That's enough, both of you, shut up!"

He threw whatever he had at hand at the two of them recklessly, a candy, an all-purpose tool, two Sickles... all from Ron's pocket.

But Fred just lazily waved his wand and turned them all into paper airplanes.

Oh, except Xiko, he and George each got one, just right.

"That's all my pocket money!" Ron shouted in annoyance?

"You threw it yourself."

"We thought you didn't want it anymore."

"It's all your fault!" Ron said angrily. "Just wait until I turn seventeen..."

"I believe you will use magic that no one has thought of yet to subdue us." Fred waved his hand and said, "Let's go, George, Kyle."

They squeezed past Ron and made their way to the dining room.

Lunch was beef stew and mashed potatoes, and Mrs. Weasley kept adding more food to Connor's plate, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be full.

"You can go back to school with Harry and the others this afternoon at five o'clock." Mrs. Weasley said after lunch, "Before that you can chat or play in the house for a while."

"No." Kyle shook his head and said, "We need to do some shopping in Diagon Alley."

"Diagon Alley?" Mrs. Weasley frowned. "But everyone else is busy now. I can't let you go there alone. It's too dangerous..."

"It's okay, let's go." Fred immediately stood up and said, "We just so happen to have something to do at the store, so we can take them there."

"You guys?" Mrs. Weasley was still a little worried, but there seemed to be no more suitable candidate now.

"Well, how are you going to go, Apparate?"

"I met Mr. Malfoy just ten days ago." Kreacher said at the door of Weasley's Joke Shop.

"Are you sure it's him?" Kyle asked.

"Kreacher saw it clearly, Master Kell," said the elf. "That was Mr. Malfoy."

"That's right."

Several people came outside the store.

"Malfoy really knew that the other Vanishing Cabinet was right here," said Fred.

"I need to go to Knockturn Alley and double-check if the stuff is still there," Kyle said.

"No, that's too dangerous." George frowned and said, "Mom asked us to protect you, so we have to go with you."

"What do you mean by protection? You are just interested in it yourself." Kyle directly exposed their excuses.

"Also, have you ever seen anyone go shopping in groups in a dark magic store? I won't be in any danger if I go alone."

Kyle glanced at Connor who was still in the store, then changed his clothes into a large hooded cloak, and despite Fred and George's attempts to stop him, he flashed to the entrance of Knockturn Alley.

…

Diagon Alley is much quieter now, let alone here. The streets are empty. The stalls selling poisons and various strange objects that were everywhere before have all disappeared. They must have moved to other places.

After all, in these dangerous and suspicious times, no one would risk being spotted by the Aurors by coming here to buy any dark magic products.

Only not far from the entrance, there sat a ragged man who was also wearing a hood, making it difficult to see his appearance.

When Kyle walked over, he vaguely smelled a faint smell of blood, and his intuition told him that this person was dangerous.

It would be a mistake to turn back at this time, as that would be like admitting guilt. Kyle could only pretend to be calm and continue walking forward, holding his wand tightly in his sleeve.

When passing by that person, he raised his head, revealing a pair of strange brown eyes, accompanied by a slight sound of swallowing saliva.

But fortunately, he didn't seem to be causing any trouble. He just took a look and lowered his head again.

However, Kyle did not let his guard down. He continued to hold the wand and walked forward vigilantly until he came to the door of the largest store in the middle of the street.

Borgin and Burke's dark magic shop, there was no customer here either. The owner, Borgin, was sitting behind the counter, dozing off out of boredom.

Kyle adjusted the hood on his head, making sure it covered his face before walking in.

The bell on the door rang, waking the man behind the counter.

"Welcome, guest," said Borgin, his voice unenthusiastic.

Kyle said nothing as he made his way through a cupboard filled with skulls and old bottles, kicking aside a box that was blocking his path.

"I must warn you, sir," said Borgin coldly, "that there are consequences for tampering with things here."

"The price?" Kyle sneered as well, and said in a hoarse voice, "You're not referring to the scare box just now... the transformation curse, a child's trick."

"Oh?" Borgin's voice finally had something different in it. "Forgive me for being so intrusive, sir. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Kyle said nothing more, just walked around the store, finally stopping at a dry hand.

"How much is this?"

"Two thousand Galleons," said Borgin.

"Tsk, the Hand of Glory isn't worth that price." Kyle said calmly, "I'd better look somewhere else."

"With all due respect, you can't buy it anywhere else."

Bo Jin still sat calmly behind the counter, but his tone of voice became much faster. "You should know the current situation. Few people dare to sell such good things. I took a big risk, so I have to raise the price appropriately."

Kyle paused for a moment, as if in agreement, and continued to wander around the store, looking at the items on the shelves with disdain.

"The boiling blood curse only works on Muggles, rubbish."

"Corrosive poison... the worst of the worst..."

"Look at this, a discarded item from a hundred years ago... Is this some kind of junk purchasing station?"

Bogin's face became more and more ugly, but he couldn't find a reason to get angry, because the man in front of him did not say anything wrong, but his tone was too annoying.

"My dear guest, if you are here to cause trouble, I..."

"Oh, this one is pretty good." At this time, Kyle stopped and pointed to a corner next to the counter and asked, "How much is that?"

"The Cursed Tapestry..." Borgin said coldly. "You can take it away for only one hundred and fifty Galleons."

"No, no, no, I don't want that kind of stuff." Kyle shook his head. "I'm talking about what's under the tapestry."

It was a cabinet, completely covered with tapestries, with only a corner exposed, as if it had been deliberately hidden.

"What?" Borgin narrowed his eyes.

But at this moment, Kyle moved his fingers, and the tapestry flew to the side, revealing what was underneath.

It was indeed the Vanishing Cabinet, and both the shape and the patterns on the cabinet were exactly the same as the one in Hogwarts.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see such a good thing." Kyle said, "How much is it? I want it."

"Five thousand Galleons." Borkin Lion said loudly.

If you have two vanishing cabinets, this price is reasonable, but if you only have one, it's a bit high.

Bogin originally wanted the person in front of him to give up, but he never expected... things seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

"I want it." Without even a second thought, Kyle took out a box, opened it and put it on the counter.

This was prepared in advance by Kyle and the Weasley brothers, and it was filled with gold Galleons.

It was like adding an oil lamp to the store.

Bogin was instantly immersed in the fascinating golden light, and the original vigilance in his heart disappeared almost instantly.

It wasn't until Kyle walked up and opened the Vanishing Cabinet on his own that he finally came to his senses.

"Wait a moment, my friend." Borgin forced his eyes away from the Galleons. "You can't take it."

"What's wrong?" Kyle knocked on the cabinet, as if checking something. "Is the amount of money I gave not enough?"

"Of course not." Borgin couldn't help but look at Garen again, his throat rolling.

"That's it." Kyle said, "It's mine now, why can't I take it with me.

"It's just too big. It's a little inconvenient to hold." After saying that, Kyle took out his wand and pointed it at the Vanishing Cabinet.

"Oh, wait!" Borgin leaped in front of Kyle.

It's amazing that he has such agility.

"What do you mean?" Kyle's voice was a little unhappy. "You don't want to pay more at the last minute, do you?"

"Of course not, my guest, Borgin and Burke's has the best reputation in Knockturn Alley. It's this Vanishing Cabinet. It, it's broken."

"Bad?"

"Yes." Borgin slapped the cabinet vigorously. "Well, how about we wait until I have fixed it and then the customer can come back to get it?"

“How long will it take?”

"Half a year... No, three months. Three months will be enough."

"It takes too long..." Kyle shook his head, "Forget it, I can fix it myself."

After that, Kyle reached out his hand again.

"No, sir," said Borgin again. "We can't sell broken things. That's the rule."

"Really not selling it?" Kyle snapped the box of Galleons shut.

To be honest, for a moment, Bojin was tempted. That was 5,000 Galleons, which could be said to be the largest order in the past ten years.

But when he thought that this cabinet was related to someone's plan, he calmed down.

"Not for sale!" Bogin said firmly. "Of course, to compensate you for the time you spent waiting, I'm willing to give you a great discount. You only need to pay three thousand Galleons. How about that?"

Bo Jin had his calculations made very clear. Compared to offending that person, the person in front of him was not a big deal.

No matter what, he had to get the money first. As for three months later... if the cabinet was stolen by Death Eaters, it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, once the Galleons entered Borgin and Burke's, they were never returned.

With a discount of 2,000 Galleons, he didn't believe that anyone would not be tempted.

"Only three thousand Galleons? That's too cheap." Kyle said softly, "But..."

"Cheap goods are not good, I don't want it."

Before Borgin could even react, Kyle had already picked up the box and walked out of the store.

By the time he came to his senses and chased after him, Kyle had already disappeared on the street, and there was no trace of him left.
