Chapter 588: A warning letter from the Ministry of Magic
Looking at the owl that suddenly appeared in front of him, and the letter on the owl's talon, Kyle didn't pay much attention to it.
I've been getting a lot of letters lately, and it's strange if I don't get them one day.
But it's worth the run back from Mr. Weasley's way to work...... Could it be that MacPhail said that Dumbledore's meeting?
Kyle took the envelope, pulled out the letter, and looked at it curiously.
Then his face changed.
The letter was not Dumbledore's, but the Ministry of Magic, and was so outrageous that Kyle even thought he had read it wrong.
Either that, or the people from the Ministry of Magic are crazy.
"What is this?"
Seeing that Kyle had not spoken, Fred and George approached curiously, looking at the letter and reading it.
"We've been told that you used a spell at 10:36 this morning at the Cauldron Bar.
This behavior violates the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act, please go to the Ministry of Magic on the morning of August 12 to explain the situation, otherwise we have the right to expel you.
Mafalda ......"
"No, am I mistaken?"
Fred couldn't help but exclaim, "Or am I mistaken, and I have to be warned for using a spell in the Leaky Cauldron?" ”
"Are they crazy?" George couldn't accept it, either, "Or is there a Muggle hidden in the Leaky Cauldron?" ”
They remembered very well that the so-called Laws of Restraint, although they did not allow underage wizards to use magic outside of school, had a precondition that there were Muggles next to them when using magic.
If you don't meet this condition, basically no one will care, let alone in the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
The people who can appear there are basically wizards, and even Muggles are parents of students, and everyone knows that wizards exist, so how can they violate the Law of Restraint.
"Watch your words, George." Percy stepped forward and pretended to straighten his collar.
"In any case, underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, it's a rule, it doesn't matter where it is."
Percy ...... How about moving the room to the garden, I feel like you and the goblin will get along very well. ”
George glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Next to the Leaky Cauldron is Diagon Alley, so many wizards are gathered together, why should the Ministry of Magic say that Kyle uses magic and not others." ”
"That's because...... The Ministry of Magic must have its own way. Percy stumbled, "Anyway, Minister Fudge can't be mistaken, and Kyle must be punished for what he did......"
"Shut up, you big-headed boy!" Fred said angrily, "Do you dare to say that you didn't use magic when you were at home?" ”
"I don't have ......"
Before Percy could finish his sentence, George let out a sneer.
"I think you used the Flying Charm to find the glasses we hidden."
"Fix the envelope with a paste charm and don't let us see it."
"And the Repair Charm......"
"Illumination Spell ......"
"Expulsion ......"
Names popped up from Fred and George's mouths, and Ron and Ginny occasionally made up for the occasional jam.
And every time they said one, Percy's face would become ugly, and at last he could only shut his mouth and go back to the room without saying a word.
"The annoying guy is finally gone." "Since he's been promoted, he's become more and more obnoxious." ”
Then he looked at Mr. Weasley again, "Daddy, what the hell is going on?" ”
"yes." George said, "Why Kyle is being warned about using magic in the Cauldron Bar. ”
"I don't know." Mr. Weasley shook his head, "That's what Mafalda told me, she said that someone insisted that Kyle had used a spell outside of school and had her send a warning letter. ”
"Who is it?"
"She didn't say it."
Mr. Weasley's finger tapped on the table, and he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "There's one more thing. ”
"What?"
"Kyle is not the only one going to the Ministry of Magic this time, but Harry."
"Harry? He's using magic in Diagon Alley too? ”
"It's not Diagon Alley, it's Little Huijin." Mr. Weasley said, "And in front of three Muggles, using magic." ”
Ron and Ginny stood up at the same time.
"No, I'm going to ask him." Ron said anxiously, then turned and ran upstairs.
"It's more troublesome." Mr. Weasley sighed, "This isn't the first time Harry has used magic in front of Muggles, so Kyle just asked, but he's going to be judged." ”
"Trial?" Ginny's face turned pale, "Harry, is he going to be expelled?" ”
"No, it won't!" Mr. Weasley shook his head firmly, "They can't fire Harry, and Dumbledore won't agree to that. ”
"Sorry kids, I might have something to get out of, oh, and Kyle......"
Mr. Weasley's tone softened a bit, "Don't worry, like I said, they're not sure if it's you or the other people in Diagon Alley using the spell, so you'll be fine, just go through the motions." ”
With that, Mr. Weasley left the Burrow in a hurry.
Soon Ginny returns to the room, leaving only Kyle in the living room, along with Fred and George.
"You...... Really used a spell? Fred asked tentatively,
Kyle nodded.
He admits that he did use an earbud to prevent someone from eavesdropping on Rita Skeeter's revelations, but the question is, how does the Ministry of Magic know.
Could it be that someone saw it?
But even if you see it, you don't have to make such a fuss, when did the people in the Ministry of Magic become so dedicated.
Kyle thinks there's definitely something wrong with that.
Rita Skeeter snitched?
"No, it shouldn't be." Kyle immediately dismissed the idea.
It's not that she believes in Rita Skeeter's character, but she doesn't dare, whether it's the identity of Animagus or Fudge's secret, it's not a few simple words that can clear up the relationship.
Even if it's for her own sakee, Rita Skeeter can't snitch.
Could it be because of Voldemort...... Did Fudge know he was on Dumbledore's side as well?
It's a bit likely, he wrote a lot of letters during the holidays, and he never hid them, so it's normal for Fudge to know.
But just talking about it and coming to trouble him, isn't Fudge a little too stingy.
Kyle tossed the letter aside.
"It's okay, Kyle." Fred comforted beside him: "There are a lot of wizards in Diagon Alley, as long as you don't admit it, they definitely don't know that you used magic." ”
"yes." George chimed in, "And the Leaky Cauldron Bar is full of wizards, even if you use magic, you won't violate the Binding Law, they can't do anything to you." ”
"yes, I know." Kyle nodded.
Even so, he was indeed disgusted by this method, including Harry's situation, which probably had nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic.
Mr. Weasley said that he had used magic in front of three Muggles, presumably the Dursleys.
They should have looked into it, and knew that the Dursleys hated Harry, and not only would they not be able to testify about him, but they might have put the pot on Harry's head.
Even if Harry protected them.
"Really...... The forbidden forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Kyle muttered quietly.
