Hearing that Cedric was fine, Fred immediately laughed out loud, but he soon realized that this was in the Ministry of Magic, and there were many people busy coming and going around, which was a bit inappropriate, so he shut up again.

However, Mr. Diggory didn't know what they were thinking, and asked curiously: "By the way, Weasley boys, didn't you two resign? Why are you here?"

"Ah, we heard that this place was attacked, so we came here to help," said George.

"That's right." Fred nodded.

For some reason, they didn't mention Cedric again, just saying they were there to help.

"I see. You are such a warm-hearted bunch of kids." Mr. Diggory nodded with a smile. "But if you ask me, you are really lucky."

"Yeah, that's right." Fred said with a smile, "If we hadn't resigned, we might have been sent to St. Mungo's by now."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty... maybe it will be worse." Mr. Diggory shook his head, his face became much more serious, "I heard that after the Death Eaters came out of the Minister's office, they went to the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department.

"I guess it's because Arthur has gone against the Death Eaters time and time again, and they want to take revenge."

"Yeah, Dad has indeed been fighting against the Death Eaters." Fred said with a grin, not seeming to care at all.

As members of the Order of the Phoenix, it was normal for them to be deliberately targeted by the Death Eaters. There was nothing strange about it. Otherwise, they would not have moved their entire family from the Burrow to Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

"How's old Perkins?"

"Not very good." Mr. Diggory shook his head heavily. "As far as I know, he met Death Eaters in the elevator and was tortured with the Cruciatus Curse. But fortunately, he survived."

"Yeah." George sighed, "I remember he always wanted to retire early... This time he should be able to do so."

Several people continued to walk upstairs.

After learning that Cedric was fine, they were no longer so anxious and began to help the injured people on different floors, while also asking what had happened here.

Judging from everyone's description, the Death Eaters did not leave immediately after killing Fudge. Instead, they relied on their numbers to find out all those who opposed them one by one.

Later, Amelia Bones, Scrimgeour and others arrived in time with Aurors and strikers, and the two sides fought a fierce battle here.

As for the outcome of this battle... Although the Aurors successfully drove away the Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic lost from the very beginning, and lost completely.

At this time, there were still quite a few Ministry of Magic staff members affected upstairs. Most of them were old employees engaged in clerical work. Because they had not participated in a battle for a long time, they were directly stunned when they encountered such an emergency.

Some people didn't even take out their wands before being knocked down by the Death Eaters.

As soon as Kyle turned a corner, he saw a wizard lying unconscious in the ruins.

He remembered this person. He had been checking visitors' wands in the hall before. He just didn't know why he appeared here. Maybe something happened, or maybe he escaped here in the chaos.

Kyle waved his wand and turned a broken door into a stretcher, then turned some rocks into little people with legs.

The stone man threw the man onto the stretcher somewhat roughly and ran downstairs carrying him.

"Hey, that's a great trick." Fred said nearby, and followed suit to help other wounded people.

But while he was busy, he always felt like he had forgotten something, and the same was true for George next to him.

They subconsciously think that they should go somewhere or do something, but they can't tell where to go.

However, the two did not care and continued to devote themselves to the rescue work.

Since I can't remember it, it must not be important.

During this period, they also met Amelia Bones, the director of the Law Enforcement Department, who was leading a team of strikers and directing the follow-up work in an orderly manner.

She also expressed her gratitude to people like Fred and George who had resigned but came forward to help.

"Mad, take a few people to the third floor. The Muggle Mediation Committee office has been almost completely demolished."

"There's also the sixth floor. Barty is injured. He can't restart the Floo Network by himself before dawn."

"Scrimgeour, please guard the entrances with the Aurors to prevent the Death Eaters from returning."

She arranged the work quickly and efficiently, and every order was executed quickly. No one objected. Even Scrimgeour led the Aurors to the hall without saying a word.

"It looks like she will be the next Minister of Magic."

After Amelia Bones left, Fred suddenly whispered, "I remember Dad said that the head of the Auror Office cannot be commanded by a director alone."

"I think so," Kyle nodded.

During her time as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, Amelia Bones always came across as fair, rigorous, and had never made any mistakes, and almost everyone spoke highly of her.

Including when Sirius was retried, Amelia was the first person to argue for his innocence.

And last time when Kyle came to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation, the other party also argued with Fudge, and after the results came out, he offered to help Kyle contact the Wizengamot.

So Kyle always had a good impression of her.

And more importantly, Amelia Bones always stood against Voldemort, and this never changed even when she was almost killed by the Death Eaters.

Capable, responsible and with a firm stance... Such a person is indeed the most suitable to be the new Minister of Magic.

"What a shame." George suddenly sighed, "I thought you would become Minister of Magic."

"Who, me?" Kyle pointed at himself.

"What else?" Fred said with a smile, "It can't be me. Of course, I have no objection, but I'm afraid others will disagree."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be the first one to object," said George.

"What are you thinking about?" Kyle curled his lips and calmly reassembled a broken window and put it back to its original position. "Let's put it this way, unless everyone is crazy, they will let a wizard who just graduated from Hogwarts be the Minister of Magic in wartime.

"If someone really proposed this idea, even Dumbledore would be suspected of being under the Imperius Curse of the You-Know-Who."

"That's why I say it's a pity." George whispered, "If you succeed as the 18-year-old Minister of Magic, you will become a legend."

"It could also be a joke." Kyle glanced at him, "Besides, I just graduated and don't want to move into another bigger and busier 'castle' so soon."

"Is this why you haven't been working?" Fred couldn't help laughing. "I have to remind you that Ms. Bones just said that she would deduct half a month's salary from you."

"It's okay, that makes sense." Kyle also laughed.

He had not been to the Ministry of Magic since entering the seventh grade, but he had received the same salary as a knut every month. It could be said that he had not done any work but had received 1,800 Galleons for nothing.

The result was that when they met Amelia Bones just now, Fred and George were both thanked by each other, but he was the only one who was reprimanded for being absent from work for a long time and had half a month's salary deducted.

But Kyle felt that Amelia Bones wanted him to come back to work at the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible.

He hadn't come to work at the Ministry of Magic for more than a year, but he was only deducted seventy-five Galleons. This punishment didn't seem serious at all, but more like a reminder.

However, Kyle has not yet decided whether to return here... Mainly because working in the Ministry of Magic is too restrictive, and it is more comfortable to be with the Order of the Phoenix. After all, we are all dealing with Death Eaters, so isn't it the same wherever we are? There is no difference.

…

After some time had passed, the cleanup work of the Ministry of Magic was basically finished, and Cedric finally came back. He was dirty and looked exhausted, but he was in high spirits.

"Yeah, I think so too," Cedric said, "But why are you still here?"

"Your words are too hurtful." Fred glared at him dissatisfiedly: "We have been worried about you all the time."

"That's right." George also echoed, "We heard that the Ministry of Magic was attacked and rushed over to make sure you were safe. Now you want to chase us away?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Cedric shook his head quickly. "I just met Mr. Weasley at St. Mungo's, so I thought you should have gone there too."

"Dad? What's wrong with him?" Fred was startled and asked immediately.

"Mr. Weasley is fine." Cedric said, "I'm talking about Percy. He was previously controlled by the Death Eaters with the Imperius Curse, and then he was hit by the Cruciatus Curse during the battle. He was one of the first people sent to St. Mungo's.

"So compared to me, I think you should want to visit your brother more, right?"

Fred and George immediately fell silent, staring at each other with their mouths open.

They now realized what they had forgotten... they had forgotten that Percy also worked at the Ministry, on the same floor as the Minister's office.

"Um...Fred." George turned his head stiffly, "If we say we're helping the Ministry, will Mum forgive us?"

"I think...she would be merciful enough to leave us each an ear." Fred swallowed and said with difficulty.

"Then what are you waiting for!"

“Damn it!”

Then they no longer cared about their friendship, pushed Cedric who was blocking their way, and ran outside quickly.

"So... they forgot about Percy, right?" Cedric asked softly.

"I think so," Kyle said.

Not only Fred and George, but he also forgot about Percy just now.

Originally, this wasn't a big deal. Ever since Percy graduated, his presence had become weaker and weaker, and sometimes Kyle would subconsciously forget that there was such a person in the Weasley family.

But the key issue now is that Percy was injured, and from Cedric's tone, it seemed quite serious.

No wonder they had seen Sirius, Tonks, and Kingsley, but not Mr. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie... It went without saying that they must have all gone to inquire about Percy's situation as soon as possible and then rushed to St. Mungo's.

But Fred and George never realized this from beginning to end.

If Mrs. Weasley knew they had abandoned their own brother, she would twist their ears off and even add two more beds to St. Mungo's.

"Bless them... I hope they are okay." Kyle said sincerely.

Cedric beside him also nodded with a serious expression.

They were just worried about their safety, so sending them blessings at this time can be considered a courtesy.

Hopefully, Mrs. Weasley will show mercy and allow them to see each other alive... well, I hope so.

"Where are you going next?" Cedric asked.

"I think we'll go to St. Mungo's," Kyle said.

Although his relationship with Percy was not particularly good, it was still pretty good. In addition, with the relationship with the Weasley family, he had to go visit him no matter what.

"What about you, are you still helping here?"

"No, I might go somewhere else," Cedric said.

"where?"

"It seems to be some square, but I can't remember." Cedric took out a note, "Oh, right, number twelve Grimmauld Place."

Kyle looked at him and the note in his hand in surprise.

"Who gave this to you?"

"Professor Dumbledore." Cedric said casually, "Why, didn't you see him?"

"No." Kyle shook his head. "Where did you meet him?"

"It's at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. After we chatted for a few minutes, he gave me this and told me to go there if I have time..." As he was talking, Cedric suddenly stretched out his hand, "Look, isn't he right there?"

Kyle raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw Dumbledore standing with Amelia Bones and talking to him seriously.

But... he didn't look very well, his face was haggard, and his right hand seemed to be injured, hanging limply.

Kyle frowned. It seemed that Voldemort's appearance in Austria was not intended to lure Dumbledore away. He was really there.

After all, apart from Voldemort, Kyle couldn't think of anyone else who could hurt Dumbledore.

Oh, there's one more, the one trapped in the tower at Nurmengard, but he's unlikely.

As if he noticed Kyle's gaze, Dumbledore also looked over, but instead of saying anything, he went somewhere else with Amelia Bones.

But Kyle didn't think too much about it. He just thought they were on business... The fact that the address of Number 12 Grimmauld Place was written on the note was enough to prove that Dumbledore couldn't be someone else's impersonation.

"Wait, why are the words on it gone?"

At this moment, Cedric suddenly exclaimed, and the note that was originally written on it had turned into a blank piece of paper without knowing when.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, just remember the location." Kyle smiled and patted his shoulder.

"It looks like you know." Cedric looked at Kyle and asked with some confusion. "So what exactly is that place?"

"I can't say too much." Kyle thought for a moment, "Remember the DA you held at Hogwarts before?"

"Of course." Cedric nodded. "Does it matter?"

At that time, he worked very hard to teach other students and spent almost all of his spare time on it. It was the most memorable experience besides the Quidditch match, and of course he could not forget it.

"To put it simply, it is equivalent to a more formal DA, but it has another name, the Order of the Phoenix."

"Order of the Phoenix?"

"Don't be so loud." Kyle lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, you should come with me to St. Mungo's. Someone will naturally take you there when the time comes."

"But I just came back from St. Mungo's." Cedric looked a little hesitant. He felt that more manpower was needed here, otherwise he would not have rushed back in such a hurry.

"There are so many people here, we don't need you." Kyle pushed him, "Also, if you want to go to the place on the note, you have to come with me. Almost everyone there is in St. Mungo's now."

"Well... okay then." Cedric sighed helplessly.
