"Hermione, did you think Kyle had a grudge against Harry?"

In front of a door near the utility room in the basement, Ron asked with a sigh of relief as he listened to the screams coming from inside.

He had always been curious about how Harry had learned Occlumency, and it was rare that Ron would not miss this opportunity, and he had just finished breakfast and came running with Hermione.

As a result, everyone else was numb.

What kind of special training is this...... Isn't this pure and beaten?

Harry was kicked to the left and then to the right by a six-legged magical animal, looking like a humanoid Bludger, not to mention how miserable.

And next to him, Hermione nodded appretently.

She had been hesitant not to train with Harry.

The Weasley Joke Store didn't need help in recent times, and my parents had gotten used to living in Diagon Alley, and sometimes they couldn't find anyone to visit them.

Anyway, it was nothing, she wondered if she could take advantage of this month to learn a spell, after all, everyone else said that Occlumency was very important, even if she didn't need to worry about being invaded by Voldemort, but it didn't hurt to learn it.

But now that Harry had happened to her, she suddenly hesitated.

It was hard for Hermione to imagine herself being whipped back and forth by a cat and leopard, and she still felt that it was better to follow the rules in comparison...... It's going to be a lot slower, but it's better to be safe.

"Ahh

Harry's screams were heard again in the room, and after two minutes of holding on, he was still seen through by the cat-leopard, and a thick tail was firmly pumped into his thigh.

Outside the door, Ron and Hermione, who saw this scene, gasped at the same time, even if they just looked at it, they felt pain.

Hermione was a little overwhelmed.

"Forget it, let's go." She said.

"Okay." Ron nodded decisively.

He knew now why Sirius hadn't been here all along.

As long as he can't see it, he won't feel distressed, and Harry will be able to master Occlumency more quickly.

Otherwise, adults are smart.

The two silently closed the door...... Well, it's much better now.

When they got back upstairs, Mrs. Weasley happened to be passing by the living room with a basket of clothes.

"So you're ...... here," she said, "Arthur has just delivered the letter, and I guess it's yours. L. Grades. ”

"Are the results out?" Hermione jumped to her feet and sped to Mrs. Weasley's side.

"Here, here you go." Mrs. Weasley pulled three envelopes out of the basket.

Hermione quickly found the one with her name written on it, tore open the envelope, and unfolded the parchment inside.

Then her expression turned disappointed.

"Didn't you do well in the exam?" Ron leaned over curiously to take a look.

The series of "O's" on the parchment made him a little dizzy to look at.

"Nine 'excellent' and one 'good'...... It's Defence Against the Dark Arts. Ron looked at her half amused, half annoyed, "You're still disappointed, aren't you?" ”

"But Kyle was all good in the first place." Hermione said.

"Can't you just find a normal person to use as a reference?" Ron raised his voice, not understanding Hermione's self-inflicted behavior.

"Seriously, if I can get an 'excellent,' even if it's just one, I can jump with joy."

Ron opened his envelope.

Unsurprisingly, there isn't a single 'excellent', but thankfully, there are seven 'A's on the parchment.

"Not bad." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile as she rubbed Ron's hair. L. passed the seven gates, and it was a lot better than I thought. ”

Truth be told, this result is a big improvement over Ron's previous results.

By now, Mrs. Weasley no longer had the luxury of expecting Ron to get any 'O's, as long as she maintained her grades and got seven certificates after graduation.

"And Harry's." Ron looked at the last envelope in his hand and asked, "Shall we send it to him?" ”

"Do you want to go?" Hermione asked rhetorically.

Ron shook his head decisively. But it wasn't that he felt sorry for Harry, but mainly because he was afraid that the magical beast was addicted to it, and he even beat up himself for delivering the letter.

"Why don't you wait for Harry to come back in the evening and let him tear it down himself?"

"Okay!"

The two quickly came to an agreement, and Ron sent Harry's report card to his room.

"By the way, what about Kyle?" Hermione looked left and right, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Kyle all morning.

"I'm going to the Ministry of Magic with Arthur in the morning." Mrs. Weasley said.

"He's already gone to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, I tried to persuade Kyle to give him two more days off, but he insisted that it wasn't necessary." Mrs. Weasley said, "Is there anything you are looking for him?" ”

"I don't understand some magic questions, I want to ask him." Hermione said.

"Then you'll have to wait until the evening." Mrs. Weasley said, "He'll come back here for dinner, and he'll stay here for the rest of his holidays." ”

"That's right." Hermione said, "Mrs. Weasley, I'll do the laundry too." ”

"No need to wash them, a simple magic will do the trick, I'm just going to hang them out to dry. This house is good anywhere, but it doesn't get much sunlight. ”

It was quickly evening, and Mrs. Weasley prepared a large pot of beef stew and served it to the table at the end of the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione also brought a heavy book of magic texts, ready to ask Kyle a few questions after eating.

But she sat at the table and waited for more than an hour, and even Harry in the basement staggered up, and Kyle still didn't come back.

And not just Kyle, but also Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Sirius, and the rest of the Weasleys, didn't come back.

"Oh, I think they must have something to do overtime." Mrs. Weasley looked at the time for the seventh time, and she barely pulled out a smile and said, "Let's eat first, and we won't wait for them." ”

She took out her wand and waved it, and the beef stew, which had already been cold, quickly became steaming.

She then took a spoon and poured the beef stew into everyone's bowl.

But it was evident that Mrs. Weasley was a little absent-minded, and spilled the broth several times.

"It must be fine." Hermione whispered, "It must be too busy at work, mystery man...... Surely he wouldn't dare attack the Ministry of Magic, would he? ”

"You're right." Mrs. Weasley smiled, "Eat quickly, and get some rest early." ”

"Mommy......" Ron was about to say something, but Hermione shook her head at him slightly.

For the rest of the day, no one spoke, and everyone hastily finished a dinner.

The children went upstairs, while Mrs. Weasley sat in the drawing-room, glancing in the direction of the door from time to time.

"Strange, why haven't they come back yet." Around the corner of the stairs, Ginny and Ron poked their heads out and glanced at the door where nothing was moving.

"I don't know, maybe it's the Ministry of Magic's action......" Hermione glanced at the two of them worriedly, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Weasley, they'll be fine, even if the mystery man ......"

Hermione's words stopped abruptly, and she said vaguely, "If there is something big, someone will definitely come to deliver the news, don't forget, this is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Anyway, let's go back to our room first."

"I'm not going back." Ginny stubbornly crouched in place, "I'm going to wait here." ”

"Me too." Ron said.

Although Hermione had a point, most of the Weasleys were outside, so how could they go back to their rooms and sleep in this situation.

The two of them hid around the corner of the stairs, and Harry did the same, even if he had been tortured by cats and leopards all day, but he still wanted to wait for Sirius here.

Hermione didn't say anything more, and waited quietly with them.

Little by little, it was late at night.

……

Meanwhile, Diagon Alley.

The streets were deserted, the doors of the shops on either side were closed, and deafening explosions and roars were heard around them.

"Avada suo!"

A requisition spell flew over and blew the sign of Ella's owl shop to pieces.

A middle-aged wizard, under the cover of two Aurors, moved from the main street to a small alley. Behind them, however, was a group of Death Eaters wearing black cloaks and masks.

"Hand over the people!" The Death Eater at the head said in a hoarse voice.

"Don't even think about it!" Tonks waved his wand and sent a red light into the sky.

"There it is!" Someone shouted not far away.

"Kill her!" The Death Eater roared.

But before they could raise their wands, more Aurors appeared, and they rode broomsticks and came rushing from all directions.

"Except for your weapons!"

"Faint!"

In order to avoid the spell flying from all directions, the Death Eaters gave up the idea of killing Tonks and instead turned their wands at the Aurors in the sky, causing chaos in the streets.

And the middle-aged wizard who had just run into Tumbledown Alley was not really safe, and in the shadows, several pairs of eyes were staring at him, and getting closer and closer.

The man nervously took out his wand, and was just about to leave the place when he heard a voice coming from behind.

"I suggest you don't go any further inside, Mr. Fosco, the depths of Tumble Alley aren't much safer than the outside."

"Who's there!"

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and pointed his wand at the incoming man.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Fusco." Kyle walked over and said calmly, "It's me." ”

"Proof!" Florin Fosco still didn't let his guard down, "Prove that you're not pretending to be a polyjuice potion." ”

"Voldemort is a fool without a nose." Kyle said.

Hearing Voldemort's name, Florin Fosco shuddered subconsciously, but he finally put down his wand.

Now he was sure that the person in front of him was real, after all, the Death Eaters didn't dare to say that about Voldemort.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I understand." Kyle walks over to Fosco.

Bill, Charlie, Fred and George scattered around and drove the ill-intentioned people back.

"Go home and sleep." Fred looked at the men hiding in the shadows, and there was a threat in his tone. "Otherwise, after tomorrow, I'll come to Tumbledown Alley every hour to inspect it, and then I'll make sure you won't be able to sell a single thing."

There was a whistling sound and whispered cursing all around, but Fred and George didn't care.

Gradually, the sound died down, and the alley became quiet again.

"I didn't expect it to be solved so easily." George said with a smile.

"They're not afraid of you," Bill said, glancing at him, "but the Aurors and Death Eaters out there." ”

"I know." George shrugged, "But there are no Aurors here, just us. ”

"Kyle." Charlie walked over, "How did you know the Death Eaters were going to attack Diagon Alley." ”

"Not me." Kyle shook his head and whispered.

Actually, it was thanks to Mr. Granger.

Coincidentally, everyone knows that the rooms in the Leaky Cauldron are poorly soundproofed, so most wizards will add soundproofing magic to their rooms after staying here in order not to be disturbed, but Mr. Granger will not do this.

He overheard a few Death Eaters discussing the plan of action in the hallway.

Although there is not much content, the words "wait for the evening to act" and "want to live" still make him care a lot.

Kyle was going to Gringotts today for something, and he happened to meet Mr. Granger who was about to write a letter to Hermione at the door of the Owl Post Office.

However, in order to protect Mr. Granger's safety, Kyle did not mention this to anyone, only saying that he had received an anonymous message.

"Anyway, thanks to your message." Charlie listened to the explosion not far away, and said with trepidation: "Who would have thought that the Death Eaters would attack Diagon Alley, what are they for?" ”

"That's for Mr. Fausco." Kyle turned to look at the middle-aged wizard.

"I don't know." Florin Fosco shook his head, "They didn't say anything as soon as they came up, they just blew up my door, and if it wasn't for the Aurors arriving in time, I might have been captured by them." ”

"That's weird." Fred frowned, "It can't be that the mysterious person wants to eat ice cream." ”

Beyond this explanation, he couldn't figure out why the Death Eaters would attack the owner of an ice cream parlor.

But the mystery man likes to eat ice cream? That picture was too beautiful to imagine.

"I guess they might want to find Mr. Ollivander as well." "When that Auror was taking me on the run, I stumbled upon a couple of Death Eaters going to the wand shop. ”

"Ollivander isn't in the store." Fred frowned, "In fact, his shop has been closed for a long time. ”

"It's normal." "Mr. Ollivander had to find the materials to make the wand, which was a time-consuming task, and he would come back two weeks before school started.

"But fortunately he left, and he escaped."

"It's hard to say." Kyle shook his head.

Perhaps Ollivander would have been better off in Diagon Alley today, as he had received the news in advance, and the Aurors were more certain that they could save him.

But if he's found by the Death Eaters outside, then there's really nothing they can do.

"Boom!" There was another explosion.

A Death Eater rushed into Tumbledown Alley, her mask falling off, revealing a hideous, crazy face.

Antonin Dolokhov, the Death Eater who had been caught in the Department of Mysteries, actually ran out again.

It is estimated that when the Dementors rebelled en masse before, Voldemort rescued him.

"It's you again, go die, dig your heart and cut your bones!"

The enemy was very red when he saw him, and when he saw Kyle, he didn't say a word, and directly threw out a heart-piercing curse.

However, his intentions were so obvious that Kyle easily dodged them.

"Don't get so excited." Kyle hid behind a barrel, "Don't you want to know why you failed today?" ”

"Why!" Antonin Dolokhov said coldly: "Say it, maybe I can be merciful and make your death a little more happy." ”

"Of course someone told us about it." Kyle said, "Otherwise, why do you think the Aurors would know about your plans?" ”

"You're lying to me!" Antonin Dolokhov narrowed his eyes.

He's bad, but he's not stupid, and the smell of intrigue in Kyle's words is about to hit his face.

"I'm just kind." Kyle said with a bit of smugness in his tone, "You can't run away today anyway, I'm just kind and want you to die a little bit clearer...... But since you don't want to hear it, forget it. ”

"Tell me my name." Antonin Dolokhov said in a deep voice: "Who dares to betray the great Dark Lord. ”

"Aren't you smart, just guess for yourself." Kyle smiled, "Maybe that person is right next to you, and you've been neighbors together for more than a decade." ”

"Tell me the name!"

"Where he ......" At this time, several Aurors also rushed into Diagon Alley, and at the same time raised their wands and aimed them at Antonin Dolokhov.

"Faint!"

"Full body bondage!"

"It's all petrified!"

……

"Damn Aurors!"

Antonin Dolokhov waved his wand and blocked all the spells that flew in.

It's tempting to catch Kyle and get the traitor's name out of his mouth, but it's too late.

In the face of so many Aurors, Antonin Dolokhov knew very well that if he continued to stay here, he would definitely be caught.

"You wait, one day I'll catch you!"

After letting go of a harsh word, he ran into the depths of Tumbledown Alley without looking back, and several Aurors immediately followed.

"Are you alright, Kyle?" Lupin also ran over from outside and asked.

One of his arms seemed to be injured and hung limply, but Lupin didn't care.

"We're fine." Kyle shook his head and said, "How's it going out there." ”

"Most of the Death Eaters are contained, and it's only a matter of time before they are caught." Lupin said, "What about Dolokhov? ”

"Ran away." Kyle glanced at his arm, "But there are already a few Aurors chasing after you, and even if you go, you won't be able to help." ”

"This ...... All right. Lupin hesitated, but in the end chose to stay where he was and did not chase after him.
