But Kyle saw a hint of vigilance in his eyes, especially when facing himself and Cedric.
"Kyle, run!"
At this time, Ginny, the Weasley family's little sister, suddenly ran over. She looked at Kyle and said hurriedly, "Did you get into trouble at school? Mommy is very angry all the way. You'd better run quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
"Thank you for your reminder, Ginny." Kyle rubbed the little girl's head and said faintly, "But it's too late now."
Just as Ginny called out his name, Mrs. Weasley came over angrily.
"Brother, you're on your own."
"We will always remember you."
Fred and George jumped to the side without any loyalty, with expressions that looked like they were waiting to see something interesting happen.
"You actually followed a dark wizard into the Forbidden Forest!" Mrs. Weasley came to Kyle and said angrily, "Do you know how dangerous this is?"
Behind her, followed Diana with a serious look on her face.
Kyle bowed his head decisively and said, "I was wrong, and I promise I won't do it again next time!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out the transcript he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
"No matter what you come up with, don't think you can get away with it this time. You actually did something so dangerous, you..."
Mrs. Weasley could find no more reproach to offer after glancing at the report card.
Full marks...full marks...
He got full marks in almost all subjects, and the only one left was only deducted one point. Even Bill had never achieved such a result back then.
"Merlin..." Mrs. Weasley wiped her hands on her clothes and carefully took the report card.
"Kyle, you will definitely become the president of the student union!" Mrs. Weasley said with a look of relief.
Then she raised her head, looked at the Weasley brothers next to her and said, "Where are your transcripts? Show them to me."
Fred and George's smiles froze on their faces, and they wanted to make excuses by saying that their report cards were lost.
But they knew that if they did so, Mrs. Weasley would definitely write a letter to Hogwarts, but if they took it out now...it would be difficult for them to guarantee that they could leave King's Cross Station alive.
Seeing that the two of them had been standing there motionless, Mrs. Weasley's eyes began to become stern.
"Mom, our report cards are in the box." Fred said quickly, "It's not convenient here, let's get them to you when we get home."
"We still have newspapers in our box. What if a Muggle accidentally sees them?"
Mrs. Weasley looked at the people coming and going around her, thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she didn't insist.
"Then let's go home now."
At this time, Kyle also walked up to Diana.
Diana's expression was serious, but she didn't blame him like Mrs. Weasley did.
She looked at Kyle's fingers and asked, "How many times did you use it?"
Kyle knew she was asking about the number of times he had Apparated, so he raised his hand and said, "Once."
The ring originally had three crescents adorning it, but now one is missing.
Diana's expression eased a lot. If it was only used once, it meant that the situation was not that bad.
Kyle asked apprehensively, "Can this be made up?"
He remembered that Diana had said in a previous letter that if he didn't want to take the train, he could use Apparition to go directly home.
If they are luxurious enough to use it as a means of transportation, I guess it should be reusable.
Just as he thought.
Diana nodded and said, "Sure, but it's a bit troublesome and will take a week."
Kyle breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention a week, a month would be fine. He didn't need it now anyway.
……
Just like when they came, Mr. Weasley drove the car with the traceless expansion spell and took everyone back to St. Catchpole Village.
On the way, the smiles on Fred and George's faces disappeared, as if this car was not taking them home, but to the execution ground.
After returning to the Burrow, Percy took out his report card immediately. As expected, he was top of the fourth grade.
Mrs. Weasley hugged him happily. If she hadn't seen Kyle's grades, she would probably be happier now.
Then she looked at Fred and George...
Kyle stood by with his arms folded, looking forward to what was going to happen next, but at this moment, Diana pulled him away.
On the way home, two screams were suddenly heard. The sound was loud and clear, and echoed over the village of St. Catchpole for a long time.

Chapter 114 Special Letter
In the room, Chris was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to Mr. Weasley.
On the way back, Mr. Weasley noticed the depressed expressions on Fred and George's faces.
Because of his understanding of Molly and the twins, he didn't even go home after returning to the Burrow. He ran here directly after getting off the car.
As long as he was not at the Burrow, there would be no one to speak for the twins when they were beaten.
Molly has been very nervous these days because of the incident of a dark wizard in Hogwarts. She has not been eating or sleeping well every day. He feels sorry for her.
Now that everything is finally over, it would be nice to let her spank the child to relax. Anyway, the twins have given her a ready-made excuse, so why not use it?
"Oh, dear." After seeing Kyle, Mr. Weasley smiled and said, "I haven't had time to ask you how you are doing at school before."
"It's great," Kyle said. "The professors are easy to get along with, and the classmates are very kind. It's exactly the campus life I dreamed of."
"That's good." Mr. Weasley took a sip of whiskey. "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you are already in the second year... Oh, and Ron, he will go to school this year too."
"Isn't it good?" Chris said with a smile, "This will make it easier for you and Molly."
"Yes, that's right." Mr. Weasley took another sip of wine. "But if you really want to relax, you have to wait another year. Ginny is no less troublesome than her brothers."
Then he started talking about some of Ginny's dark history and how she had fought with Ron at home.
Kyle was not interested in what happened next, so he took his luggage to the room upstairs. When he came down, Mr. Weasley was just about to leave.
"Are you really not going to eat together? Molly has prepared a lot."
"Next time, Arthur." Chris refused, "Today is the day we meet again after a long absence, and Charlie has already graduated, you probably have a lot to say to him.
Well, I'll come and have a drink with you later. This time I brought back some authentic Giggle from North America."
"That's great." Mr. Weasley's eyes lit up and said, "I've wanted to try that for a long time."
Mr. Weasley, like Chris, likes to have a drink when he has nothing to do, but they have one thing in common, which is that they never drink too much. They always take a sip and stop, trying to keep themselves sober at all times.
Unless something particularly happy happened, such as the day Ginny was born, Mr. Weasley would get drunk and talk to every passerby about his experience in love with Mrs. Weasley.
This incident later became the darkest part of his history that he most wanted to forget.
Shortly after Mr. Weasley left, a series of tinkling sounds were heard in the kitchen.
The chicken legs lined up to coat themselves with egg liquid and bread crumbs, and the knife floated in the air, cutting the cabbage into even-sized strips.
The pancake next to it was trying hard to stuff the filling into its stomach, then it crawled into the oven unsteadily, even applying the oil on it itself.
Diana never liked using magic to heat food directly. She always felt that something was missing from the food made in that way.
Soon, a sumptuous dinner was ready.
Coincidentally, Chris and Diana completed their tasks almost at the same time a few days ago, allowing them to get together today to celebrate Kyle's end of the school year.
The three of them ate and chatted at the table, but most of the time, Kyle was telling them what happened in school.
This is also what Chris and Diana care about most.
Kyle thought about his experiences this school year and picked out some of the more interesting ones.
For example, his magical "Forbidden Spells Wizard" roommate, how exciting the school Quidditch games were, and how he and his friends sold maps and trinkets.
As for the Room of Requirement and sneaking into the Restricted Section in the middle of the night, forget about it. The Weasley brothers had just finished screaming, and Kyle didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
Chris and Diana listened quietly while Kyle spoke, but soon their expressions changed.
"Wait..." Chris raised his eyebrows and couldn't help interrupting Kyle and asked, "You sold those mountain pear branches for 700 Galleons?"
"That's just the raw materials." Kyle said seriously, "From picking... ahem, selecting the right branches to finally making the finished product, it took the six of us half a year. It wasn't easy.
Seven hundred Galleons, but it's just a reward for your hard work."
"Really..." Chris looked at him suspiciously. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Moreover, six little wizards earned 700 Galleons in half a year... This was incredible enough.
He didn't have this ability when he was in school.
If Chris was just suspicious, then Diana was sure that Kyle was not telling the truth.
In her opinion, Kyle would never waste half a year for a hundred Galleons. There is too much water in it. Half a month is about right.
"Oh, Dad." Kyle seemed to suddenly think of something and reminded him, "I don't know if Fred and George have told their family about their earnings of Galleons. Don't let it slip when you go to have a drink with Mr. Weasley later."
Kyle really had forgotten, and it had nothing to do with their gloating attitude at the station before.
Chris took a sip of his butterbeer and slurred his response.
After dinner, Chris helped to clear the table and then went to find Mr. Weasley with an exquisite bottle of wine.
Kyle went back to his room.
Although I haven't been back for half a year, the room was very clean and there was no bad smell. I guess it had been cleaned in advance.
His box was still on the floor. Kyle packed it up briefly, took out a stack of parchment and put it on the desk.
Before going to bed, he had one more thing to do, which was what he promised Connor on the train.
He has received 150 Galleons for helping others get rid of disasters. If he doesn't do a good job, others will give him a bad review.
Kyle took out a quill and ink, and soon the room was filled with the sound of writing.
