Chapter 711 Kyle's Decision

When it gradually quieted down outside, Kyle and his men took Mr. Fosco and left Knockturn Alley, which was dark.

All the Death Eaters had been caught, a total of 25, a large number.

It was obvious that they had come to Diagon Alley this time for some big move, in addition to kidnapping a few shopkeepers, they might also want to make a big move.

But no matter what they were planning, they were doomed to fail now.

Scrimgeour was counting the casualties of the Aurors, while Sirius and Mr. Weasley and other members of the Order of the Phoenix who came to help were counting the number of Death Eaters and their corresponding wands.

"This is really a great victory!" Fred said with a smile, "Thanks to your intelligence, Kyle, the You-Know-Who must be furious this time."

"I've said that it wasn't me who provided the information, but a righteous wizard who didn't want to reveal his name." Kyle said seriously.

He was becoming more and more valuable to Voldemort. What if the other party got angry and came to deal with him personally one day... So for the sake of his own safety, he should avoid some credits.

Kyle came to the door of Florin's Ice Cream Shop and asked, "Mr. Fusco, do you know why the Death Eaters want to arrest you?"

"That's what I want to know, too." Fusco also didn't understand. How could he, an ice cream seller, become the target of the Death Eaters? It couldn't be that they were interested in his secret recipe for making ice cream.

Even if it was, was that thing worth more than 20 Death Eaters fighting for it? Isn't it too exaggerated?

As long as he told them in advance, the Death Eaters didn't need to do anything. He would have taken the initiative to contribute the secret recipe, any flavor would be fine.

Mr. Fusco shook his head and sighed speechlessly.

Kyle also saw that he really didn't know and didn't lie.

"Okay, Mr. Fusco." Kyle continued, "If you think of anything, remember to tell us as soon as possible. In addition, in order to prevent the Death Eaters from attacking again, you'd better find a safe enough place during this period.

I suggest you stay in Diagon Alley. The Ministry of Magic will send more people here after today, which is relatively safe.

Of course, if you have a better place to go, that's fine."

"No, I'm in Diagon Alley."

After being attacked for no reason, Mr. Fusco seemed to be angry and said angrily: "Let the Death Eaters come if they want. No matter what they want, I can't let them get what they want!"

"I believe you have the determination, Mr. Fusco, but you still have to be vigilant." Kyle said, and then he turned and left.

There is still a lot of work to do after the aftermath. The arrest of more than 20 Death Eaters at one time was not a small commotion, and the whole street was damaged to varying degrees.

Kyle took out his wand and extinguished the nearest burning flame. The bricks and stones scattered on the ground slowly floated up and fell back to their original positions.

Mr. Fusco stood at the door of the store, staring at the wand in Kyle's hand in a daze. Subconsciously, he suddenly thought of Ollivander, who was regarded as another target by the Death Eaters.

And Ollivander's most famous thing is his knowledge of wands.

In an instant, Fusco seemed to think of something. He stretched out his hand and wanted to call Kyle, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't shout, but returned to the store with a serious expression.

Kyle naturally didn't know what happened behind him.

After restoring Diagon Alley to its original state with everyone, they prepared to return to the Ministry of Magic.

After catching more than 20 Death Eaters, the Aurors were destined to work overtime, and Kyle also needed to compile a detailed report as soon as possible... This is also his job as a senior assistant to the minister.

On the other side, the members of the Order of the Phoenix also gathered together.

"Leave the rest to you, we won't get involved." Mr. Weasley said to Lupin, "I didn't have time to inform Molly before, I think she must be very anxious now."

"Of course, this is what I should do." Lupin said, "Sirius, you should go back soon, I think Harry must be waiting for you too."

When he thought of Harry, Sirius couldn't help laughing... It felt good to have someone worry about me, it felt like I was back to the time when I just graduated.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Sirius said, "Don't let them run away again."

"Don't worry, they won't."

"Then, see you tomorrow." Mr. Weasley said, he waved his hand, "Come here quickly, kids, we're ready to go home."

"Here, Dad."

Fred and George ran over first, followed by Bill and Charlie.

"I really hope Mom left us dinner, I'm starving." Fred said.

"But it should be midnight snack now."

"Of course there will be." Mr. Weasley said.

Everyone separated in the Leaky Cauldron, and Kyle and the Aurors used the dedicated Floo network to return to the Ministry of Magic.

Although it was late at night, the main hall was still brightly lit and many people were there.

After seeing the Death Eaters brought back by the Aurors, the main hall suddenly erupted in cheers that could not be suppressed.

More than 20 Death Eaters, this was the biggest harvest they had since Voldemort's comeback, and it could be said that they had won a great victory.

The Director of the Department of Law Enforcement, Amelia Bones, was the first to come over and went to the courtroom with the Aurors.

Several lifts were full, so Kyle and Chris had to wait for the next one.

"Kyle, it's too late now, why don't you go back first." Chris said.

"I think Fudge is still waiting for the report." Kyle sighed, "Such a big thing happened, and it was the first big victory for the Ministry of Magic. He must not be able to wait to get the news out.

"So this report must be handed in tomorrow morning before the Daily Prophet goes to press."

"How about... you write it for me." Kyle glanced at Chris, "You have written so many reports before, and this one is not bad."

"Ah, I seem to have lost something." Chris suddenly slapped his forehead, "It must have fallen on the road. You go up first, I have to look for it."

After saying that, he lowered his head and walked quickly towards the other side of the main hall.

Kyle twitched his lips and felt speechless for a while... If you don't want to write a report, just say so. He also said that he lost something. This crude excuse is not at all new.

Just as I was thinking about it, the elevator came.

Kyle walked inside.

Since there was no one else, he quickly came to the first floor.

Fudge is not here and should have gone to the courtroom.

Kyle returned to his office, sat at his desk and wrote a report.

…

Because there were so many Death Eaters and Aurors involved, it was already early in the morning by the time Kyle finished writing.

He threw away the quill in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

No wonder his father didn't want to write a report so much. This thing was really torturous.

You have to think of something.

Shorthand quill?

No, that thing has too many traces, and its disadvantages are also obvious. It's okay for copying things, but it's too forced to write reports, and it's easy to see.

I have to find a way to improve it. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is still worth it to save a lot of time in writing reports.

Thinking of this, Kyle cheered up, took a thick stack of reports, and prepared to send them to the minister's office next door.

While in the corridor, he happened to meet Fudge coming out of the elevator.

"Oh, Kyle, I was just going to find you." Fudge looked very happy and said excitedly: "A great victory, a great victory. More than twenty Death Eaters were captured. The wizarding world has not been like this for a long time. Exciting news.

"Haha, those guys who didn't take it seriously before were all dumbfounded when they saw the Death Eaters in the trial room."

"Yeah," Kyle said. "It's a good thing the Auror Office didn't listen to them."

"Thanks to the news you sent, I can't wait to know how everyone will react when they see tomorrow's newspaper." Fudge continued: "But before that, I need your help to sort out the detailed process. After all, tomorrow It will be all over the front page."

"I've already written it." Kyle handed over the pile of reports in his hand.

"Good job, Kyle, I knew it was right to leave it to you." Fudge said happily, "Don't worry, you will definitely see your name in the most conspicuous place in the newspaper tomorrow."

"No, Minister." Kyle shook his head, "This matter is the work of the Auror Office. It is the Aurors who capture the Death Eaters and protect everyone. I only participated in the aftermath, nothing else. Do."

"No need to belittle yourself." Fudge shook his head, "If it weren't for the news you sent, they would have succeeded. Of course you have the credit."

"No." Kyle still shook his head, "I just received an anonymous letter."

"Anonymous letter..." Fudge frowned. "Where is the letter?"

"I destroyed it automatically after reading it," Kyle said. "I think it must have been protected by magic in advance to prevent it from falling into the hands of Death Eaters later."

"Are you so cautious?" Fudge became even more confused, "But who would tell us such important news? Is it a Death Eater?"

"I think so too. After all, only Death Eaters can know the mysterious man's plan."

"But there are so many Death Eaters, who is this person?"

"I don't know about that." Kyle thought for a while, "But the letter mentioned Professor Umbridge, and the person who wrote the letter also said that he knew that she would persist in resisting even if she was tortured twice by the Cruciatus Curse. It was the actions of the Death Eaters that made him determined to betray the mysterious man.

"So I think this credit should belong to Professor Umbridge."

"Have you decided? This is a great opportunity to improve your reputation." Fudge said softly: "You obviously don't have to tell me this. After all, only you have read the letter. If you don't tell, no one will know this."

"Of course, Minister, I've decided." Kyle said.

Fudge nodded and glanced at Kyle with some sigh, "If Dolores knew about it, she would be proud of having taught you."

"This is what I should do." Kyle said with a smile: "Minister, if there is nothing else, can I get off work first?"

"Oh, is it so late? I didn't even notice." Fudge suddenly said: "I originally wanted you to attend the trial together, but if you insist, of course it's no problem... The ministry needs to send a car to take you there. Go back?"

"No, as long as the ministry allows me to use Apparition once," Kyle said, "I missed the Apparition exam and can only wait until next year."

"I remembered, you were still capturing dementors at that time." Fudge said nonchalantly: "Okay, feel free to use it, I agree.

"In addition, the Apparition test is also waived, just consider it as this reward."

"But Minister, is this appropriate?"

"Don't worry, we all know that that kind of exam won't trouble you at all, right?"

…

After Fudge returned to the office with the report, Kyle also took the elevator and came to the foyer where Ministry of Magic staff disapparated.

By the time Kyle arrived at Grimmauld Place, a faint light could already be seen in the sky.

At this time, Kyle thought everyone had gone to bed, but when he opened the door, he realized that the lights were still on in the room.

"It's okay, Dad, it's Kyle who's back."

Bill poked his head out of a room, "Come here and have something to eat, or Fred and George will eat them all in a while."

"Hey, Bill, it's not as exaggerated as you said. Charlie obviously ate more!"

When he heard that there was food, Kyle walked over quickly.

The lighted place was the kitchen. Except for Sirius, everyone else who had returned before was here. There were several bottles of wine, a few pieces of bread, a plate of cornflakes, and a plate of corned beef on the dining table.

"How are you? Did you get any useful information?" Mr. Weasley pushed the bread in front of Kyle.

"I don't know." Kyle said, "I have been writing reports and have not gone to the interrogation room. However, I don't think the Aurors can ask for useful information."

"Why?" Charlie didn't understand.

"Do you know any of the Death Eaters who were caught?" Kyle asked.

After thinking for a moment, Charlie shook his head.

He had seen them before. They were all new faces and he didn't recognize anyone.

"That's the reason." Kyle took a piece of bread. "Except for Antonin Dolohov, everyone who came to Diagon Alley this time should be here to make up the numbers and sabotage them, but they don't necessarily know. What important news."

"It's a pity that Dolohov ran away," Mr. Weasley said regretfully.

The Auror who had gone after him lost track of Dolohov deep in Knockturn Alley and came back empty-handed.

"No way, he knows Knockturn Alley better than we do." Charlie said, "Kyle, would you like some brandy?"

Kyle had already celebrated his seventeenth birthday, so naturally he could drink, but after taking a look at the cornflakes and corned beef on the table, he hesitated.

He would rather eat something than drink.

Just at this time, the house elf Kreacher came over and asked earnestly: "Master Kyle, would you like some midnight snacks?"

Kyle glanced at the few corned beef and corn chips left on the table, hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then just have some sandwiches, please."

"It's Kreacher's pleasure!" screamed the elf, who looked excited and ran into the kitchen happily.

"Oh, keep your voice down." Fred reminded from the side: "Mom was worried all night and finally fell asleep. I hope I didn't wake her up just now."

"Sorry," Kyle said, "I forgot that house elves can get a little excited sometimes."

"It's none of your business," George said, "but I don't understand why the elf wasn't so attentive when we came back."

"Yeah, he didn't even want to find a cup for us."

The two complained about the different treatment of the house elves, but Mr. Weasley didn't find it strange.

He had already learned about Regulus from Sirius. As a house elf of the Black family, Kreacher would naturally be particularly affectionate towards Kyle, which was not surprising.

While waiting, Kyle suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Weasley, do you know why the Death Eaters wanted to capture Fusco?"

"I don't know, maybe I arrested the wrong person." Mr. Weasley thought for a while and said, "Maybe he offended them somehow.

"Or said the name of the mysterious man." Bill said.

Now apart from this reason, they couldn't think of any other reason why the Death Eaters would go to such trouble to capture an ice cream shop owner.

The few of them chatted for a while, and soon Kreacher came back. In addition to the sandwich Kyle asked for, he also made fried potatoes, grilled sausages, and a whole roasted chicken.

Seeing this, Fred and George felt even more unbalanced. They decided to turn their grief and anger into appetite, grabbed the grilled sausage in front of them and stuffed it into their mouths.

Kreacher looked at them from the side with a gloomy face, but the two of them didn't care. Even Fred raised his eyebrows at him proudly, and then picked up the second sausage.

"I finally know why Kreacher doesn't want to see you." Kyle said with a smile.
