Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 781 The stolen wand
The next morning, while still sleeping, Kyle was woken up by a burst of noisy discussion.

He opened his eyes, listened carefully, and found that there was no panic in the voice. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room with a yawn.

The sound came from downstairs, and you knew it was Harry and Ron.

"A new minister was elected in just one night."

At the dinner table, Ron looked at the latest "Daily Prophet" delivered this morning and said: "This is probably the fastest move the Ministry of Magic has ever taken."

"How can this kind of thing be so slow?" Hermione glanced at him angrily, "Is it possible that the Ministry of Magic will hold another voting event? How much time will be wasted? What if we encounter Death Eaters again during this period? What to do about the attack.”

"I know, I'm just saying it." Ron muttered, "But do any of you know who this new minister is?
"Amelia Bones... I remember Hufflepuff also had a Bones. What was her name?"

"Susan Bones," Harry and Hermione said almost simultaneously.

"How do you know so clearly?" Ron glanced at them doubtfully.

"Because of Slughorn." Harry explained: "When school started last year, he invited Susan Bones to have lunch with him in the carriage."

"It's incredible." Ron couldn't help but said: "That house elf has never been so friendly to us."

"No, no, you misunderstood." Hermione guessed what Kyle was thinking, and shook her head repeatedly: "It's not the Order of the Phoenix, it's someone else, but I don't know who it is, and they didn't tell them before they set off."

"The Ministry of Magic has elected a new Minister." Ron waved the newspaper in his hand.

"How do you know?" Ron was a little surprised...Kyle obviously hadn't read the newspaper.

"Yeah, Slughorn must be extremely regretful." As if he thought of something, Harry couldn't help laughing.

He had asked Sirius countless times about the retrial that day, and naturally knew about Amelia Bones's attitude and her help to Sirius.

"Who knows..." Kyle said.

"Is that Amelia Bones?" Kyle asked.

Hermione opened her mouth but said nothing.

"But it doesn't matter whether Susan will go or not." Hermione also laughed, "I remember that Susan didn't like to attend those dinner parties. Coupled with what happened before, Professor Slughorn may have made a miscalculation. "

Because this is all true. Kreacher didn't just call her a Mudblood behind her back. Even if he did it in front of her sometimes, he would not care. He said all kinds of unpleasant things, unless it was when Sirius or Kyle were around. , he would be a little more restrained.

"Another person?" Kyle frowned and said, "Could it be that there is someone in the Order of the Phoenix..."

Because of this incident, Harry instinctively had a crush on Amelia Bones and supported her unconditionally as the new minister.

"Does even Professor Dumbledore think so?" Ron smacked his lips, "No wonder she was able to take over Fudge's position so quickly. I mean, as long as Dumbledore supports it, others will definitely not object. Yes, isn’t it?”

"Are you three the only ones here? Where are the others?"

While several people were talking, Kyle happened to come down from upstairs and yawned greatly.

"I don't think so." Ron shook his head, "Your attitude towards him is good enough, but hasn't he ever been polite to you?
I even heard him calling you mud from behind... In short, you must know what I want to say. "

"Is it because of Percy?" Kyle asked, and took the cup of black tea handed over by the house elf Kreacher.

"Sorry." Hermione turned around and said, "Did we talk too loudly and disturb you?"

Harry curled his lips, not hiding his disdain for Slughorn.

"Thank you."

"That's how he is. He likes to make friends with students from powerful families, but once they lose their power, his attitude will immediately become cold."

"Maybe you're right." Ron shrugged and didn't argue. "So what kind of person is this new minister? Compared with Fudge."

So even if Hermione wanted to refute Ron, she couldn't find a suitable reason. She could only move her eyes to Kyle, pretending that she didn't hear anything, and changed the topic at the same time:
"Not all because of Percy...mostly because of the other guy."

"I also saw her at the dinner party after school." Hermione said, "But I only saw her twice, and she didn't go there again after that."

"It's okay." Kyle waved his hand and said, "It's almost noon, just in time for lunch... What are you talking about?"

"I think that was the time when Ms. Bones was attacked by Death Eaters and had to be sent to St. Mungo's.

"And Mrs. Weasley, she's gone to St. Mungo's."

"Well, in this regard, she is much better than Fudge." Ron shrugged, "Everyone knows Fudge's indecisive character, right?"

"Haha!" Ron suddenly laughed, "I guess Slughorn must be regretting it now. Not only did Ms. Bones recover, but she also became the Minister of Magic."

"I guess he'll be eager to invite Susan to his dinner party again when school starts."

But that didn't stop him from slowly becoming the power-obsessed minister that people know today.

Kyle nodded. After knowing that he was not from the Order of the Phoenix, he didn't care.

Position can change a person. Take Fudge for example. When he served in the Disaster Division, he also did very well and had many outstanding achievements.

"I don't know about the position of minister." Kyle thought for a moment and said: "But when she served as the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, she was always known for her fairness and resoluteness. As long as she can do something today, she will never delay it. till tomorrow."

"Because I saw Professor Dumbledore looking for her last night." Kyle said casually: "And in the Ministry of Magic, she is the only most suitable candidate."

"That's because you weren't nice to him," Hermione said.

"I think it's more because of Ms. Bones herself." Harry said: "If she is not capable, Professor Dumbledore will not support her."

"Master Kyle, please take your time, lunch will be ready later." After saying that, Kreacher bowed and left.

After chatting for a while, Kyle looked up and took a look at his surroundings.

"Sirius and Mr. Weasley went to the Ministry of Magic." Harry said, "Because there were a lot of things to deal with, he was temporarily brought in to help.

Half an hour later, Fred and George also yawned and walked downstairs. Like Kyle, they had just woken up after being busy until dawn yesterday.

"Really, they were chattering non-stop early in the morning." Fred rubbed his eyes and said, "Now I kind of understand how my mother felt during the holidays."

"She must really want us to start school soon," George said.

"It's really noisy."

"Sorry." Harry said sheepishly.

"No, it's none of your business Harry, and Hermione," said Fred. "We're talking about Ron, he's the loudest."

"If you really have nothing to do, how about you go and finish your homework." George looked at Ron, "I bet three Galleons that your homework will still be empty."

"I'll add three galleons, too," Fred said.

Ron's face immediately turned red. He really wanted to slap the homework on Fred and George's faces and ask them to hand over the six Galleons. After all, this was already a huge sum of money to him. But no, he really didn't write it.

After all, the holiday is only half over. Who would do homework so early?

Seeing Ron's embarrassed expression with a bit of annoyance, Fred and George sneered at the same time. They knew Ron too well, just like when Ron was suddenly punished, he would always think of them immediately.

This is a useless tacit understanding that only belongs to brothers.

Since the adults were away, lunch was provided by Kreacher, a luxurious single meal that was enough for six people.

After lunch, the few of them had some free time.

Fred and George went back to Diagon Alley to tidy up their shop, while Kyle went to St. Catchpole Village.

This place is protected by the Loyalty Charm, and owls cannot find it here, so letters and packages addressed to him are usually sent to the village of St. Catchpol.

Today is his birthday, and there are surprisingly many gifts and letters. But this time, he also received a lot of things that he didn't get on previous birthdays...invitations for various jobs.

For example, the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary included a letter in a complete set of fire dragon model gifts, asking if he was interested in becoming a dragon breeder.

There were also two Quidditch teams, the Chudley Cannons and the Falmouth Falcons, who also sent him trial invitations as Chasers.

Kyle just glanced at it and threw aside the invitation from the Chadli Cannons. A team that was at the bottom of the field. He was crazy to go there.

As for the remaining Falmouth Falcons, Kyle was a little surprised when he looked at the familiar signature on the invitation letter.

Cullen Harris, Hufflepuff's prefect when he entered school, was also the Quidditch captain and the best Chaser ever.

Kyle knew that he had become a Quidditch Chaser after graduation, but he couldn't remember which team it was for. Unexpectedly, he ended up becoming a member of the Falmouth Falcons.

To be honest, Kyle doesn't know this team very well, but it is definitely better than the Chadli Cannons.

Because he received a lot of things, it was already afternoon by the time Kyle finished packing and returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the living room full of people.

It was obviously still early for the Ministry of Magic to get off work, but Sirius, Mr. Weasley and Tonks were all sitting there, and Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Charlie had also returned from St. Mungo's.

Even Mundungus and Dedalo were there. It could be said that except for a few people who really couldn't come, all the other members of the Order of the Phoenix were here.

"You're finally back." Fred ran over quickly and whispered beside Kyle.

"Something delayed me." Kyle asked, "What's going on here? Is there any action?"

"I don't know." Fred shook his head, "But Dumbledore came, and then everyone else came back within half an hour."

"They held a meeting and didn't let us participate." George's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, "I don't understand why some things are still hidden from us even though we have become official members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"And I don't know what magic Dumbledore used, and our props can't be used."

What George was talking about was an eavesdropping device, a gadget specially used for eavesdropping. They used this device to eavesdrop on many meetings before they graduated.

But this time Dumbledore obviously thought of this and took a precaution against them in advance.

While he was talking, many people had already stood up from their seats and left with heavy faces.

At this time, Kyle also saw Dumbledore who had just come out of the room, and the other party also saw Kyle.

"I was just wondering where you were." He said softly: "If you haven't come back after an hour, I may have to ask Mr. Weasley to find you."

"I went back and sorted the package," Kyle said.

"That's understandable." Dumbledore smiled, "Today is your birthday. Of course, you have to take a good look at the gifts you received. How about it? Do you like what I gave you?"

"Very good, but..." Kyle's tone was a little strange, "I don't know about other people, but I personally rarely wear short-sleeves made directly from wool in the summer."

Yes, Dumbledore's gift was a woolen short-sleeved shirt. To be honest, when Kyle got this gift, he was a little confused for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know when to wear it. .

First of all, he definitely couldn't wear thick woolen short-sleeved clothes in summer, it would be too hot. As for winter... he usually wore long-sleeved clothes in winter.

"It doesn't matter, you can always wear it." Dumbledore said, "If you have time now, I have something to tell you, and we should be just in time for dinner."

"Of course, no problem." Kyle nodded and followed Dumbledore into the room.

Fred and George originally wanted to follow, but as soon as they reached the door, the door was slammed shut.

"Again..." Fred said through gritted teeth, "Why can even Kyle do it?"

"He's one year younger than us." George complained loudly, and Harry and others also supported him, but no one answered them.

Everyone who had just arrived got up and left one after another, and the place soon returned to calm.

At the same time, Kyle walked into the room. As soon as he sat down, he heard Dumbledore say in a very calm tone: "I guess you must be curious about what happened yesterday."

"Yes." Kyle nodded, subconsciously looking at Dumbledore's arm hanging weakly by his side. "You are hurt?"

"It's a small injury, don't worry about it." Dumbledore said lightly: "A special curse magic can strip away the wizard's perception of part of the body. Tom has always been very talented in this weird ability."

"Can it be recovered?" Kyle asked, which was also his biggest concern.

Dumbledore is the strongest member of the Order of the Phoenix, or the entire British wizarding world. If something goes wrong with him, who will deal with Voldemort? It can't be Harry, the savior.

Anyway, no matter how Kyle looked at it, he didn't think he could defeat Voldemort, nor did he think it was possible. Judging from Harry's usual performance, it was unknown whether he could defeat Bellatrix.

His favorite thing to use is the disarming curse, but the disarming curse versus the killing curse seems to Kyle to be a fantasy, and has even subverted common sense.

Rather than putting his hope in the name of "Savior", Kyle might as well go to France to find Kangna as soon as possible. At least it would be safer there.

If that doesn't work, you can also go to Nicoléme's old house. Voldemort will definitely not be found there.

"It's okay, Sacia is brewing the potion for me, but it may take a little longer." At this point, Dumbledore suddenly laughed, "It's all thanks to you."

"Me?" Kyle asked doubtfully, "What does it have to do with me."

"To be precise, it's the basilisk venom you sent."

Dumbledore explained: "Among the antidotes used by Sacia, basilisk venom is the most important material. This kind of thing has a very magical effect on injuries caused by black magic. In some specific cases, it is better than Phoenix’s tears still work.”

"That's good." Kyle said, relieved to hear that Dumbledore was okay.

"So what happened yesterday?" Kyle asked curiously.

"Tom set a trap..." Dumbledore said softly: "My wand was taken away."
