Chapter 353 Nymphadora Tonks
Since Sirius Black escaped from prison, everyone has become busy, including Diana.
She is not at home today, and there is no one in the house.
As soon as Chris came back, he went straight to the study and continued to write the report. Judging from his appearance, he will probably stay up all night today.
A "tree fork" swayed and climbed onto Kyle's shoulder...
"Long time no see, Groot."
"And you Tom... Wait, why do I feel that you are fatter than a month ago."
Catkin Tom originally wanted to come to greet him, but after hearing this, he turned around and left, leaving Kyle with a high tail.
Kyle didn't care. After greeting the two animal members of the family, he went back to the room upstairs, opened the box, and poured some things inside on the table.
This is also one of the reasons why he didn't want to live in the Leaky Cauldron.
Aurors have too many different abilities, just like Mad-Eye Moody, who has a magic eye that can see through everything.
Although he had retired long ago, no one knew if other Aurors had similar abilities.
Just in case, after discovering that they were in the Leaky Cauldron, Kyle had turned his box to Muggle mode, which was too inconvenient.
How good it was now, at least he didn't have to worry about someone suddenly breaking into his room and forcibly searching his box.
Newt had encountered this situation when he was young. Although he was in another country at that time, he still had to be on guard.
After all, there was a dragon in his box. If this thing was discovered, he might have to be treated the same as Sirius Black.
Kyle walked to the table and sat down, pouring all the dragon blood he harvested in Romania into the small bottles he bought from Diagon Alley.
The previous bottles were too big, so this was more convenient to use. There were other materials, herbs, and souvenirs, and Kyle sorted them out separately before putting them back in the box.
Because there were too many things, and Bowtruckle and Niffler were always messing around, it was already late at night when Kyle finished cleaning up.
A month after leaving home, Kyle just lay down on the familiar bed, and the hazy sleepiness came over him.
The next morning, Chris, with a messy hair, sent him to King's Cross Station.
"Are you going to wait for the Weasleys here?"
In front of platform 9, Chris rubbed his eyes and said, "I think we should be faster than them."
"In fact, Mr. Chris, they entered the platform five minutes ago."
A laughing voice came from behind them.
They both turned back at the same time and found a strange witch standing behind them.
"You are..." Chris frowned.
"Oh, I almost forgot." The witch shook her head quickly.
Her face began to become younger rapidly, and her hair changed from chestnut to a very light blue.
"I should have thought of it earlier." Chris rubbed his forehead, "Long time no see, Tonks."
"Not long." Nymphadora Tonks said with a smile, "We just met last night, but you didn't recognize me."
Last night, the old witch sitting there drinking mead was her.
"It's not easy to recognize a Metamorphmagus in a crowd." Chris smiled and patted Kyle on the shoulder, "This is my son, Kyle.
Kyle, this is Nymphadora Tonks, the youngest Auror in the Ministry of Magic."
After hearing Chris's words, Tonks' hair quickly turned into a bubble gum pink and white.
But strangely, no one noticed this as the pedestrians around came and went.
"We know each other." She said, "I watched little Kyle being sorted when I was in the seventh year."
Kyle nodded.
He had indeed seen Tonks, but he was not familiar with her.
Although they were both in Hufflepuff, Tonks had become an apprentice Auror in the seventh year and was rarely in school.
Kyle had only seen her once during the sorting, that's all.
"I almost forgot that you are only six years older than Kyle." Chris rubbed his head.
Seeing his tired face, Tonks asked curiously, "How many reports did you write yesterday?"
"Eight." Chris sighed, "I started writing at noon yesterday and finished half an hour ago."
"I just went to Romania. Is it necessary to write so many?"
"I don't know why. Anyway, since last year, there have been more and more reports to write."
"We are the same." Tonks' hair turned gray again. "I never thought that after becoming an Auror, I would have to deal with reports every day... I spend more time in the office than on missions."
Tonks complained a few more times until a tall wizard came over, then she shut up and pretended nothing happened.
"Kingsley!" Chris greeted.
This is the man who read the newspaper in the Leaky Cauldron yesterday.
But Kyle did not participate in their subsequent conversation.
At this time, the train was about to leave. When Kingsley came over, he had passed through the wall and entered Station 9.
The Hogwarts Express was still parked in the old place, spewing smoke, and the platform was crowded with people who came to send their children.
Fred and George appeared on Kyle's left and right.
"Why are you here so late? The train is about to leave." Fred said.
"We thought you were going to take a flying car to Hogwarts." George put his arm around his shoulders.
"We just met someone we knew outside and wasted a little time." Kyle said, "Nymphadora Tonks, you should know her."
"Of course, the Metamorphmagus."
"She was a celebrity a few years ago, very famous."
"But I remember he is already an Auror..." Fred thought for a moment and said, "I guess she came to King's Cross Station because of Sirius Black."
"Afraid that he would be mixed in with the parents of the students?"
"This is the only explanation that makes sense."
"Do they think Black will go to Hogwarts?"
At this time, a loud whistle sounded, and Fred and George stopped discussing Tonks and walked quickly towards the train with Kyle.
The guards on the platform were closing the doors one by one, and the three of them sped up and finally got on the train before him.
"You must go see Percy."
In the hallway, Fred showed a wicked smile: "We modified his badge,"
"He hasn't noticed yet that the words on the badge have turned into an enormous head."
