Chapter 690 King's Cross Station, Nervous Aurors

Because of what Dumbledore said at the end of the dinner, the next day, when everyone took the Hogwarts Express home, there was no laughter and joy as in the past, but a bit more heaviness.

But there are exceptions.

"Help us see which clothes are suitable for us?"

On the train, Fred and George held two jackets of different colors and gestured on their bodies.

"We bought them in Hogsmeade..."

"We plan to wear them when the Weasley Joke Shop opens..."

"To support the scene..."

"They are all the highest-grade dragon skins, which cost us a lot of money!"

Fred felt a little distressed when he spoke. It can be seen that these two sets of clothes are really expensive.

"Black..." Kyle looked up. "Black is more solemn."

"But we think green is good." George hesitated, "We run a joke prop shop, it seems that we don't need to be solemn, black seems to be more suitable for attending banquets and talking about big business...

"You even considered this kind of thing?" Qiu raised his eyebrows and said incredulously.

Their store hasn't even opened yet, but they're already thinking about attending the banquet and discussing business?

"It's only a matter of time." Fred said confidently, "Maybe we can acquire Zonko and open another branch in Hogsmeade."

"Then I wish you success."

Cedric pulled the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and then pretended that nothing had happened, "But I also think black is more suitable, you should be able to use it."

"Is that so?"

Fred and George didn't quite understand, but since both of them said so, they simply changed into the jacket.

After all, it's an expensive thing, and the effect is better than the school uniform robe. After Fred and George put it on, the whole person looks different.

It's quite a feeling of... well, office elite.

"Kyle, what are you laughing at?" George frowned and glanced at Fred across from him.

The clothes fit well, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Thinking of something happy." Kyle tried not to look so gloating.

"I think you should also ask Mr. Weasley for his opinion. Maybe he can give you a more pertinent answer."

"Ask Dad?" Fred thought for a moment and shook his head gently. "Forget it. He often works in the Ministry of Magic and can't visit Diagon Alley twice a year. How can he know what to wear to open a joke shop?"

"But he knows what to wear in the Ministry of Magic." Kyle said.

"Haha, yes, just do the opposite of him."

Fred and George thought it was just a joke made by Kyle, and they didn't care much and put on another jacket.

Cedric, who knew the truth, could only pinch his thigh hard to stop himself from laughing.

Suddenly, a clanging sound came from outside the door, interrupting their conversation.

"Oh, what are those little brats doing!" Fred said pretentiously.

At this time, Cedric had already pushed open the door of the box and went out.

Although he had graduated, he was still the male student union president of Hogwarts before the train arrived at King's Cross Station, and he also had to maintain order on the train.

"It's okay!" George didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly patted Kyle on the shoulder.

"When the next school starts, you will be the only male student union president."

"Ah?" Kyle blinked, and then he remembered that when he became a senior minister's assistant, he also had the title of male student union president.

But he never managed anything at all, and the school didn't remove Cedric's position, so he almost forgot about it.

"I really hope Cedric can postpone graduation for a year." Kyle rubbed his forehead and said from the bottom of his heart.

In the past two years, his tasks as a class leader were directly pushed to Cedric, not to mention the more things to do as the male student union president.

If he had known earlier, he would not let Cedric work in the Ministry of Magic.

"Hehe..." Fred laughed gloatingly beside him, "Sure, if Cedric gets all "T"s in his N.E.W.T., maybe he can delay his graduation for a year."

George also laughed and said, "But even little Ron can't get such a score."

"Maybe, he can..."

The two looked at each other and then laughed out loud.

Kyle didn't bother to pay attention to them and left the box.

The place where the riot happened was easy to find, it was the place with the most people.

Not far from them, a group of people were gathered.

When Kyle walked over, he happened to see Justin Finch-Fletchley and Susan Bones explaining something to Cedric.

"They started it first..." Justin said excitedly, "I heard it all when I was in the box. They wanted to make trouble for Harry. As members of the DA, we can't just pretend we didn't hear it."

"That's right." Hannah also said angrily, "They are so mean. They said they would knock Harry unconscious and throw him on the luggage rack."

Kyle walked over and subconsciously raised his head and looked at the luggage rack.

There were five things stuffed into school uniforms, struggling and squirming, looking like five giant slugs.

"Well...we just took their advice as a reference." Susan said with a wandering look in her eyes and turned her face away.

Kyle remembered that she seemed to have said a long time ago that she wanted to teach a few people in Slytherin a lesson.

"Who are they?"

"Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle..." Mikel said immediately.

"And Pansy and Millicent." Susan added.

Well, the truth is out, even the people are the same.

When Voldemort was first announced to have returned, they were the most proud and laughed the loudest.

It was precisely because of this behavior that Mikel and Susan were so angry that they even discussed whether to cover their heads and beat them up.

Kyle raised his head again and took a look at the people who were wrapped tightly... In this situation, they have fulfilled their promise.

On the other side, Ron and Harry, who came to check the situation, laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"I dare say that Lucius must have been there at the Ministry of Magic that day."

When Kyle returned to the box, Harry and the others followed him in. He swore, "I saw it. The same platinum-blond hair as Malfoy."

"Malfoy must want to take revenge on you...that coward because of this." Ron said.

"I wanted him to come to me." Kyle said, "but he didn't come."

"Unless Malfoy is crazy." Harry couldn't help laughing and subconsciously glanced at the luggage rack in Kyle's box, but didn't see the familiar suitcase.

Thinking about it, Kyle would definitely not put such a dangerous thing aside.

"By the way, what happened that day?" Ron asked curiously, "Why do I feel that Malfoy and his people are avoiding Kyle these days?"

When Kyle rushed over that day, he and Hermione had fainted and didn't see anything. When they woke up again, they were already in the school hospital.

"Nothing..." Harry glanced at Kyle secretly, "It's just that the headmaster and Kyle arrived in time and saved us."

It's not that he wanted to hide it from Ron and Hermione, it's mainly because Kyle didn't let him tell, and if Ron knew that he had been with the dragon and the three-headed dog for so long when he was unconscious, he might faint again.

"Is that so." Ron nodded and said, "It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't catch Malfoy, otherwise we could have sent him to Azkaban."

"It's useless." Hermione shook her head, "Dementors are no longer reliable, and a large part of them have surrendered to the mysterious man."

"Even if they are locked up for a few days, it's okay." Ron said, at this time, he suddenly noticed the new clothes on Fred and George.

"Wait, what is this made of?"

"The highest-grade dragon skin." Fred raised his eyebrows and said, gently pulling the zipper.

The scale-like pattern glittered in the sun, and Ron was envious again.

Because there were a few more people, the return journey was more lively.

Kyle noticed that when Harry was playing wizard chess with Cedric, he would always glance at Qiu intentionally or unintentionally, but he would look away every time after a second.

It can be seen that he did not seem to give up completely.

Kyle touched his chin with interest, hesitating whether to remind Cedric that someone wanted to steal his girlfriend.

But Kyle quickly gave up the idea.

Although it was unfair to say this to Harry, he really couldn't think of any way Harry could be better than Cedric.

Maybe the identity of the savior counts, but Qiu obviously doesn't value this.

On the other side, Hermione found Connor with a thick book "Advanced Potion Making" and a bottle, and asked some questions about potions.

Connor just glanced at her and pointed out her problem.

"You put too few sunflower petals, and the cooking time was not enough, one minute less."

"But the book says that three sunflowers are enough." Hermione asked in confusion: "I counted them, it's correct."

"Oh, there is one step missing in the book." This time, Connor didn't even look at the book, and said directly: "You should crush the petals first, so that the juice inside can be integrated into the potion faster. If you don't crush them, adding one more petal can also have the same effect."

Hermione glanced at the book again, frowned and didn't speak.

"Are you exaggerating too much?" Ron couldn't help but said: "It's vacation now, do you still need to read books?"

"Why not." Hermione said unhappily, "Even Headmaster Dumbledore said that we need more knowledge to protect ourselves.

During the holidays, there is no way to use magic, potions are the only choice, prepare more healing medicine, it will definitely be useful."

"I don't think my mother will agree that I will play with the crucible at home." Ron muttered softly.

"No, you're wrong." Fred came over and said, "If you have this idea, Mom will be very happy."

"She will even tear down the kitchen to make enough space for you to put the cauldron." George said.

Ron muttered a few words, and seemed to have found some excuses, but no one heard what he said.

Harry beside him also lowered his head, pretending to think about what to do next.

If there is a course in Hogwarts that they dislike the most... Umbridge's Defense Against the Dark Arts is the first, and the other is Snape's Potions class.

And he has to go back to Privet Drive to live for a while during this holiday.

Although Harry didn't understand, Dumbledore and Sirius said so, and he had no choice.

He had to live in Privet Drive for a month before he could move to No. 12 Grimmauld Place. I believe his aunt and uncle would not want to see things like cauldrons and potions at home.

I don’t know how long it took, but the train finally started to slow down.

Kyle and the others changed out of their wizard robes in advance, and after the train came to a stop puffing out smoke, they dragged their boxes off the train as usual.

There was a long queue at the platform exit, and only two or three people were allowed to pass at a time. It took more than ten minutes for them to finally arrive outside the platform.

This time more people came to pick them up than last year.

Chris and Diana were here, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Moody, Tonks, Lupin, Sirius, and Auror Kingsley who came back early last night.

Of course, these latter people were probably here to pick up Harry, and had nothing to do with him... Well, they might also be to be wary of another person.

Newt Scamander.

For some unknown reason, he came too and was standing there looking at Kyle with a smile.

"Oh, honey." Diana stepped forward and hugged Kyle, "How was school."

"It's pretty good," Kyle said. He noticed that there were more Aurors and Strikers around King's Cross Station, all of them staring at Newt nervously, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Why are you here?" Kyle looked at Newt and asked curiously.

"I went to help Dumbledore solve some trouble..." Newt said with a smile: "I happened to pass by here when I came back, so I stopped by."

"Yes, those guards?" Kyle asked.

Newt smiled and nodded.

Behind Kyle, Hermione, who was talking to Mr. Granger, kept staring at Newt and suddenly lowered her voice and shouted: "I remember, he is Mr. Newt Scamander! Oh my god, I can't believe it. I can actually meet this legendary master of magical animals."

"Scamander?" Mr. Granger asked doubtfully, "Is he famous?"

"He is a household name in the wizarding world." Hermione said excitedly. She opened her suitcase and rummaged around for something inside: "I want to go to him and get an autograph... I have my copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I remember it. Put it in the box...ah, I found it."

When Hermione walked over with the book, Newt happily signed his name on it.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Weasley was hugging Fred and George tightly, looking very happy.

Moody, Lupine and Sirius were explaining something to Vernon Dursley with serious faces.

Dursley's face turned red with anger, and just when he was about to get angry, he saw Moody take off his hat, revealing the trickling magic eye.

Vernon Dursley was so frightened that he jumped back and hit a luggage cart hard, his anger immediately gone.

"Don't be confused, we will understand." Lupine said pleasantly, "At the same time, if you don't let Harry use the link..."

"It's the phone," Harry whispered.

"Yes, that's what it means..." Lupine nodded, "If we can't contact Harry, you can just wait and walk around without food."

Whether it was because of the fear of these people or the bottle cap-sized piece of gold in his hand, Vernon finally agreed with a gruff grunt.

"Okay, it's not safe here, let's go back quickly." Mr. Weasley said.

"Where are you going?" Chris asked.

"The Square," Mr. Weasley said vaguely, "aren't you?"

"No, we have to go home first." Chris shook his head.

"Need to see you off?" Mr. Weasley said, "We have three cars this time."

"No, let's apparate back."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Mr. Weasley and Sirius left with a few children.

Kyle looked around, preparing to say goodbye to Kangna, but strangely, he didn't find Kangna.

"Didn't she come out of the platform?" Kyle asked doubtfully.

"It's out." Qiu said, "I was with her."

"What about her?"

Just when Kyle was confused, Diana seemed to suddenly see a familiar person, waved her hand and shouted: "Hey, Severus, is that you?"

Following her gaze, Kyle also saw a man wearing a black cloak with greasy hair. Who else could it be if it weren't Snape, and Connor was also beside him.

But Snape acted as if he didn't hear Diana's voice and even walked faster.

Kangna turned around and spread her hands helplessly towards Kyle.
