Chapter 778 Supporting Diagon Alley

That night, on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's, the Curses and Damage Department was overcrowded, and even the corridors were crowded with wizards who had been sent there.

Because he was sent early, Percy was lucky enough to be assigned a bed, which was in the second ward on the left side of the corridor.

When Kyle and Cedric arrived, Mrs. Weasley was standing there anxiously, constantly looking at the closed door, as if she could see through the solid wooden door if she looked at it enough times. Same.

Mr. Weasley was comforting her.

"Don't worry Molly, she'll be fine." He put one arm around Mrs. Weasley's shoulder and held it tightly with the other.

However, it can be seen from the way he looks at the door from time to time that his heart is not peaceful either.

Bill and Charlie were also there. Among the Weasley family, only the younger ones, Ginny and Ron, did not appear here. It must be that Mrs. Weasley did not want them to leave the safe house and did not bring them with her.

As for Fred and George who came just now... they were not far away, like two baboons stepping on a soldering iron, covering their ears with both hands, dancing a dance they couldn't understand... …Well, maybe it’s not dancing.

"Mrs. Weasley, how is Percy?" Kyle walked over and asked.

"I don't know." Mrs. Weasley choked, her face still stained with tears, and she looked like she had just cried.

"The therapist has been in there for a long time but hasn't come out..."

While talking, the door suddenly clicked open from inside, and a middle-aged witch with a tired look walked out.

"The situation is not bad." She seemed to be worried about something, and quickly said without waiting for Mrs. Weasley to ask: "Occlumency prevented him from being too seriously injured by the Imperius Curse. Fortunately, he was able to withstand the Cruciatus Curse. It didn't last long and it didn't hurt his soul. Now we just need to wait for him to wake up."

"Then when will he wake up..." Mrs. Weasley wanted to ask more about the specific situation, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the therapist had already pushed them away and walked in the other direction.

"Please give way, there are still many people waiting... If you are fine, please leave quickly. There are already enough people here."

Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped aside to make way for the therapist.

"Thank you..." the therapist said. She walked to a wizard lying in the corridor, lowered her head and used her wand to check his condition. "It's the Cruciatus Curse again. It's been a really rough day. I hope they can get the herb soon." Come here, those in stock have already bottomed out..."

"There are too many of us, please leave quickly." Mr. Weasley whispered.

"You guys go back, I have to guard Percy." Mrs. Weasley said choked with tears.

"I don't think this is a good idea." Mr. Weasley said, "As you heard just now, Percy's injury is not serious, so we only need to keep one person...Bill."

Before Mrs. Weasley could speak, he shouted to the back: "How about you stay here? If anything happens, remember to tell us through the summons coin as soon as possible."

"No problem, Dad, leave it to me!" Bill said.

While talking, two more people were sent over.

While making way for the other party, Mrs. Weasley was also pushed out of the corridor by everyone and came to where the stairs were.

Because she was in the middle, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to. She could only be surrounded and walked downstairs together.

When they came to the second floor, they once again passed by an injured person who was brought here. Kyle subconsciously turned his head and took a look.

Although it was just a quick glance, he still recognized that the person lying on the stretcher was not an employee of the Ministry of Magic, but an employee of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, whom he had met several times before when he went to buy books.

Could it be that the Death Eaters attacked Diagon Alley after leaving the Ministry of Magic?

Although I haven't received the news yet, it seems that this is the current situation. At the same time, it also makes sense why there are so many people in St. Mungo's.

Kyle just turned around and looked.

The Flourish and Blott Bookstore clerk was also sent to the fifth floor.

"Unknown black magic damage, similar to the separation spell, which area should be placed." The person in charge of carrying the stretcher shouted loudly as he trudged through the crowded corridor.

"Go to the room on the left at the end of the corridor." The therapist on the fifth floor shouted without looking back: "Put him next to Ollivander, the dean is there!"

The two stretcher-bearers immediately ran forward, and Bill, who stayed in place, pressed himself as close to the wall as possible to create a wide enough passage.

At this time, Mr. Weasley and others who had left before had also arrived on the street outside St. Mungo's.

Because of the time, there was no one on this street, only the dim yellow light flashing on and off from the street lamp next to it.

Looking at the mannequin behind them and the sobbing Mrs. Weasley, no one spoke.

After a period of heart-wrenching silence, Mr. Weasley stepped forward and hugged her shoulders. He turned to Kyle as if to change the subject and said, "Happy birthday, Kyle."

"And Harry, too. Although I've known for a long time that you two have the same birthday, I still find it magical at this time every year."

"Huh?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was already early in the morning, and it belonged to the 30th.

"Me too." He said with a smile, "But it's a wonderful feeling to have a friend who has the same birthday as me."

"What's the point? George and I also have the same birthday." Fred curled his lips and said, "It's been like this for so many years, and we don't think there's anything weird about it."

"Yes." George nodded: "Sometimes I always hope that our birthdays can be a few days apart, so that we can enjoy one more birthday dinner every year!"

Listening to his words, everyone around them couldn't help laughing. Even Mrs. Weasley stopped sobbing and couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed their ears.

The two immediately begged for mercy, and their funny looks once again made everyone laugh.

"Okay, let's go back quickly." Mr. Weasley took this opportunity to say: "The Death Eaters are still wreaking havoc everywhere. Sirius and the others alone are not enough."

"I know..." Mrs. Weasley said with a gloomy look, "I just... feel a little uncomfortable... Was I too harsh on Percy before..."

"I think it can be a little more strict!" Fred, who had just released his ears, couldn't help expressing his opinion, but when Mrs. Weasley looked over, he immediately ran away.

"Don't worry, Molly, didn't the therapist just say that Percy was fine?" Mr. Weasley stepped forward to comfort her.

"Yes, Mom." George also said from the side: "This is all thanks to Mr. Fudge. His timely appearance attracted most of the firepower."

There was another moment of silence, but this time everyone looked a little strange.

"That's enough for you, don't say such things again..." Mr. Weasley tried to keep a straight face. "No matter what Fudge is like, he was killed to fight against the mysterious people. We should respect him."

"OK……"

"we know……"

The two responded lazily.

However, due to their interruption, the originally sad atmosphere instantly faded a lot.

Everyone also noticed Cedric who had been following Kyle without speaking.

"Oh, Cedric..." Mrs. Weasley walked over quickly and hugged him tightly, "Sorry kid, we were so panicked before that we never had time to thank you for sending Percy to St. Mungo's in time. "

"It's nothing, Mrs. Weasley, I just did what I had to do," Cedric said.

"What a good boy, but no matter what, we have to thank you." Mrs. Weasley hugged him again.

But then, she got into trouble.

Because everyone must go back to Grimmauld Place, but Cedric...

As if aware of her thoughts, Kyle stepped forward in time and said: "It doesn't matter, just before we came here, Professor Dumbledore had invited him to join the Order of the Phoenix and gave him the address of Grimmauld Place. "

"Really?" Mrs. Weasley's eyes lit up and she asked immediately.

"If it was the address...it disappeared, but I remember it was..."

"That's enough, kid, don't talk here." Mrs. Weasley grabbed Cedric's arm and interrupted his next words, "Follow me, I think you will show up."

"Of course, I have also obtained the certificate for Apparition."

"very good……"

After saying that, Mrs. Weasley took him away.

Seeing this, others followed suit.

But just as Kyle was about to apparate, a big hand suddenly grabbed him from behind.

Kyle couldn't help but look back and burst into laughter.

Charlie was looking at him with a sheepish expression.

"You should really take the time to learn this magic." Kyle said with a smile.

"I want to, but it's really difficult." Charlie sighed.

His strong stature was a huge advantage when training dragons, but it also made it difficult for him to learn to apparate.

If the distance is short, it can barely work, but once the distance is too long, it will definitely break up.

Charlie was also helpless at this point.

"Okay, hold on tight."

Afterwards, Kyle took Charlie back to Grimmauld Place.

By the time they arrived, Cedric had just given the exact address and pointed out the location of No. 12.

Now there is no need to doubt anymore.

Mr. Weasley took him into the house, and when he opened the door, they saw Hermione holding her wand.

Harry, Ron and Ginny also ran over quickly from other places after hearing the noise.

"Don't be nervous Hermione, it's us." Mr. Weasley said softly: "You can relax a little bit. As long as Dumbledore is fine, it is impossible for Death Eaters to find here."

"Where were you just now?" Ron asked eagerly.

"It's nothing, just something." Mr. Weasley said a little unnaturally. He also didn't want to tell Ron about Percy's injury, lest they make some irrational decisions.

Judging from previous experience, this kind of worry is still necessary.

"What is it that deserves all of you to go out together?" Ron asked again without giving up.

"Of course it's a matter for the Ministry of Magic." Fred came up from behind, stretched out his hand and pushed him aside, "Get out of the way."

George followed him, "These are what we should do. The little devils who haven't graduated yet should go back and do their homework as soon as possible."

Ron was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything. Because if Fred and George didn't want to tell him, they wouldn't.

If they get tired of being asked, maybe they will throw two slime bombs into his room while he is sleeping. Ron is very experienced in this.

"Let me introduce you to a new friend... Well, maybe you already know each other." Mr. Weasley turned sideways and pushed the somewhat restrained Cedric forward.

"Cedric Diggory, just graduated from Hogwarts not long ago, I think you should all be familiar with him."

Several people nodded in unison.

Cedric, Quidditch captain, male student union president, and they had participated in DA activities together before, so of course they knew each other.

More importantly, Harry once regarded him as his biggest rival in love... However, Cedric himself didn't know about this.

"So, have you joined the Order of the Phoenix?" Harry asked.

"Order of the Phoenix?" Cedric subconsciously looked at Kyle.

To be honest, he just heard this name not long ago, and it was only a name, and he didn't know the specific situation at all.

"It's like this..." Mrs. Weasley stepped forward and pulled Cedric to explain the situation of the Order of the Phoenix to him. Hermione and others also helped to talk.

On the other side, Kyle, Mr. Weasley, Fred and George had left the room again and came to the square outside.

"It seems that we have the same idea." Mr. Weasley said, "You should have recognized it just now. The person who was sent to St. Mungo's was a clerk from Flourish and Blotts Books in Diagon Alley."

"Of course, he often patronizes our store." Fred said, "Those damn Death Eaters have caused us to lose a big customer."

The few people didn't say much, and Apparated again to the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

As soon as they appeared, they saw the huge Dark Mark floating in the air.

The bar was in a mess, with broken bottles and tilted tables everywhere.

"Where's old Tom?" Fred glanced around and frowned, "Could he be..."

"Probably not." Mr. Weasley shook his head immediately and said, "Tom is a very smart man. I guess he may have noticed something wrong in advance and hid himself."

"Maybe..." George said.

Several people walked through the bar full of debris to the backyard.

They guessed correctly. The entrance to Diagon Alley was open. There were flames inside, explosions could be heard everywhere, and the shrill laughter of the Death Eaters could be heard everywhere.

The shop owners united together and were struggling to resist the attack of the Death Eaters.

Kyle even saw the people in the Quidditch boutique holding the precious Firebolt and swinging it like a bat at the spell shot by the Death Eaters.

The next second, the spell was knocked aside.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, as the top-level broom, the Firebolt has a strong protective spell on the wooden handle to ensure that the player is not disturbed when flying, and it can naturally be used to resist most evil spells.

It's just that few people would do this, and even Kyle saw it for the first time.

"Damn it, hasn't the Ministry of Magic's support arrived yet?" Someone shouted while maintaining the protective spell.

But the answer he got was indeed the merciless ridicule of the Death Eaters.

"Don't waste your energy."

"The Ministry of Magic is busy with its own affairs now, how can it care about you."

"That's right, just let us..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly hit by a spell and fell to the ground and fainted.

The Death Eaters turned around and saw more spells flying from behind them.

"Dizzy!"

"Dizzy!"

Because there were other people, Kyle did not use large-scale magic and his box, but only used basic spells and transfiguration to deal with it, but it was still very effective.

Almost everyone he targeted was hit by the spell without any surprise and lost the ability to resist.

There are also Fred and George. They are a little weaker than Kyle, but they have a lot of magical props. They will throw some round things around while using spells.

Some will spread a green mist after the explosion, and some will spray sticky, glue-like things, which are surprisingly effective among Death Eaters.

Even Mr. Weasley has the same strength as Aurors.

In addition, the incident happened suddenly. Although there are only four of them, they have the momentum of more than 20 people and have the upper hand in a short time.

…
