Chapter 588: Weasleys Stand United Against the Outside World
"Well, happy cooperation."
In the Leaky Cauldron, Kyle said to Rita Skeeter who was getting up and preparing to leave.
"I just felt a little tired from writing, so I came to have a butterbeer. There was no cooperation."
Rita Skeeter closed her handbag and corrected: "And we just happened to sit at the same table and chatted about the Triwizard Tournament for a while. I didn't say anything else, and I won't admit it."
"Ah, that's right," Kyle said with a smile.
Rita Skeeter then walked towards the door of the bar. The moment she turned around, a relieved expression suddenly appeared on her face.
Now that the Animagus photo was in hand, she finally didn't have to worry anymore.
The only thing to consider was that Kyle would not keep his promise and not tell anyone about it.
But Rita Skeeter thought it shouldn't happen, after all, she had just paid the reward, and the extra information was.
If it were normal, fifty Galleons would not buy that name and all the evidence that Deputy Minister Umbridge had taken credit.
She believed that Kyle also understood this.
Thinking of this, Rita Skeeter suddenly became excited again.
She began to look forward to what Kyle would do... or what Dumbledore was going to do.
She didn't think that Kyle wanted to find out Fudge's secrets because of his curiosity... From what he said just now, it is not difficult to see that Kyle is also on Dumbledore's side, and he is unwavering?
They will definitely do something unexpected later.
But what will it be...
A Hogwarts headmaster, the strongest white wizard, and a Minister of Magic, the struggle between them must be very exciting.
As long as she thought about it, Rita Skeeter felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat. She wanted to know too much, but she couldn't do anything.
Kyle already knew that she was an Animagus, so it was impossible for him to turn into a beetle to get the news. She could only wait.
Rita Skeeter walked to the door, and just when she was about to push the door, Kyle's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Wait a moment."
Her hand stopped where it was.
"If you want to know more news, you have to pay more." Rita Skeeter turned around and said.
"No, I just want to ask." Kyle said, "If there is definite evidence that proves that the person is really back, will you report it?"
"...Why is it this again?" Rita Skeeter obviously didn't want to discuss this topic, so she said perfunctorily: "Well, if this is true, then someone is finished... Of course I can't miss such a big event that can be recorded in the history of magic."
After that, Rita Skeeter didn't give Kyle a chance to speak again, and directly pushed the door and walked out of the Leaky Cauldron.
After she left, Kyle also drank the last sip of butter beer and borrowed the fireplace in the bar to return to the Burrow.
"Fred, George, can you be quiet!"
Kyle just walked out of the fireplace and heard Percy's dissatisfied roar, "I was so noisy that I couldn't write the report. This is a serious matter, and the department takes it very seriously!"
"Percy, what we are doing is also a serious matter."
"We need to test the stability of the product, but they have paid for it!"
"But you..."
"Are you sure our minister will read what you write..."
"I guess it will end up in the trash can..."
"And then be dumped..."
"Because no one cares whether the shape of the herb pot is standard, as long as they grow well enough!"
Fred and George said in unison. Mrs. Weasley was not at home today, and they would not indulge Percy, and they directly fought back.
As for whether Percy would complain at night... He would definitely, but the two did not care, after all, they had long been used to it.
When Kyle came to the living room, he happened to see a big bird with colorful feathers flapping its wings frantically.
"Kyle, when did you come back?"
At this time, Fred just came down from upstairs.
"Just now." Kyle said, he looked at the bird that was going crazy, "What is this..."
"Maybe it was Ron." George also came down. "I guess he must have stolen the cookies we put on the plate."
After that, there was a bang, and white smoke came out of the bird, and then it turned into Ron's appearance.
"You..." He gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth did you put on the plate."
"The improved canary biscuits." Fred said with a smile, "It can turn the person who eats it into a canary."
"It looks pretty good now."
"You did it on purpose!" Ron looked at them angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense." Fred said with a smile, "We just forgot to take it back."
"Didn't you try to see if it could fly just now?" George asked, "I think it should be possible."
"Can that thing really fly just now?" Ron was stunned for a moment. He was just scared just now and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Even Kyle was a little surprised.
He remembered that this canary biscuit was a product made by Fred and George a long time ago, but at that time it could only change its appearance, and it couldn't fly even if its wings were cramped.
Ron seemed to have thought of something and didn't care about being angry anymore, "Do you still have that kind of biscuit? I can try it again."
"Of course." Fred blinked, "Twelve Sickles a piece..."
"Count the piece you just ate..."
"Just give us two Galleons."
Ron thought he had heard wrong, and couldn't help asking: "You still charge me? And why is it two Galleons?"
"Oh, sorry, we counted wrong." George said quickly, "It should be three Galleons!"
Ron immediately quit, and the three of them quarreled and made a mess in the living room.
Then Percy came down and started to scold them, which made the three people who were still arguing immediately stand aside.
As for Kyle, he was sitting next to Ginny watching the show.
This three-on-one situation is rare even in the Weasley family, and it was the first time Kyle saw them unite so quickly.
"Percy doesn't believe in Principal Dumbledore."
Seemingly seeing Kyle's doubts, Ginny explained beside him: "He chose to stand on the side of the Ministry of Magic, thinking that what Principal Dumbledore said before the holiday was crazy, and that we should draw a clear line with him... He even had a big fight with his mother a few days ago."
"So that's it..." Kyle nodded. Now he finally understood why the three of them could immediately call a truce.
To some extent, this can be regarded as a united front against the outside world.
"Would you like some candy?" Kyle grabbed a handful of candy and pushed it in front of Ginny, "Don't worry, it's not Fred and George's skipping candy."
"Thank you." Ginny picked a piece of toffee and put it in her mouth.
At this time, the pointer of the magic wall clock on the wall suddenly jumped.
Kyle subconsciously looked up and saw Mr. Weasley. The pointer representing him just jumped from "work" to "home".
The next second, there was a bang at the door and Weasley walked in from outside.
Fred didn't continue to mock Percy. He looked at Mr. Weasley and then looked out the window.
"Dad? Did the Ministry of Magic get off work so early today?"
"Oh, no, I came back early." Mr. Weasley shook his head and turned to look at Kyle. "Did you get the letter?"
"Letter? What letter?"
Before Kyle finished speaking, an owl flew in from outside.
