"Despicable means." Dawlish sneered disdainfully, waved the wand in his hand, and dragged them out of the tent.
"Thank you for your hard work, Arthur."
After they were dragged away, Dawlish smiled and said to Mr. Weasley, "You beat seven people on one. I never realized you were so good before... You should be an Auror."
"You misunderstood because..." Mr. Weasley was about to explain, but when he thought of those illegal biting cabbages, he immediately shut his mouth and said, "It's not just me. The children also helped a lot."
"Four against seven, and they were able to capture them intact, that's pretty impressive," Dawlish said. "If you ask me, you should really consider becoming an Auror. At least it's much better than the cramped office you're in now."
"It's really not my credit." Mr. Weasley wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't avoid biting the cabbage no matter what, and finally his face turned red.
"Okay, I understand. It seems that you really like your current job." Dawlish said with a smile: "But we have to go, Arthur. There is still a lot to do. See you at the ministry."
"Okay." Mr. Weasley nodded reluctantly.
After the Aurors left, Mr. Weasley wiped the sweat mixed with dirt on his face with his robe. He looked at Kyle, hesitated for a while, and said, "Those biting cabbages..."
"I got it from the school greenhouse," Kyle said, "for brewing potions."
"I have no doubt about that." Mr. Weasley shook his head, "But that is against the rules after all. If someone holds on to it, you might be in trouble."
"It's okay, Dad." Bill came over, patted his chest and said, "When the time comes, just say that I gave the biting kale to Kyle. As a curse breaker, especially in a dangerous place like the pyramid, it's totally okay to bring some magical plants for self-defense."
"No, just put it on me." Charlie also stood up.
"Kale is one of the favorite snacks of Chinese fireball dragons. I work in a fire dragon sanctuary in Romania, so it makes sense to carry some fire dragon snacks with me, right?"
"Thank you, but I don't think it's necessary." Kyle smiled and shook his head.
"The wounds caused by biting the cabbage are not difficult to treat. I have just used special potions and healing magic on them. Calculating the time, the wounds should be almost healed."
"That's good," said Mr. Weasley. "If that's the case, it would save a lot of trouble..."
Bill on the side raised his eyebrows inexplicably.
I didn't pay much attention to it before because I was nervous, but now I think about it...
He used the Disillusionment Spell to launch a sneak attack, and then used a potion to erase the wound caused by the bitten cabbage... Wow, Kyle's operation was flawless.
What on earth has he learned in school these years...
But Mr. Weasley didn't care so much. He looked at Kyle and was about to ask Harry and Ron where they were when another exclamation was heard outside.
"Oh, damn, isn't it over yet?"
Mr. Weasley ran out of the tent, but the next second, he was attracted by something flashing in the sky.
It was an enormous skeleton, with a giant python emerging from its mouth...
Mr. Weasley's eyes widened suddenly. He was very familiar with what this thing was, or at least any older wizard would know it.
"Merlin's beard..." Mr. Weasley also exclaimed and couldn't help but said: "Why is the Dark Mark appearing here? Haven't Malfoy already been caught?"
He had always believed that Lucius Malfoy was the mastermind behind the riot, but now it seemed that there were obviously others, and they were more rampant than Malfoy.
In the wizarding world, the Dark Mark cannot be released casually, especially after the fall of Voldemort. Once someone is caught committing suicide, the crime is no less serious than using the Unforgivable Curse.
Bill and Charlie, who were following behind, also saw the flashing Dark Mark in the sky.
"It looks like there are still some fish that have slipped through the net," said Charlie.
"Dad, should we go over and take a look?"
Mr. Weasley naturally wanted to go. After all, the Dark Mark hadn't appeared in more than ten years. Even he was curious and wanted to find out what was going on.
But before he could make a decision, a loud explosion was heard around him.
At some point, the restriction on Apparition in the camp was lifted, and the moment the Dark Mark was seen, nearly half of the Aurors and strikers immediately rushed over.
There are about fifty people.
"Forget it..." Mr. Weasley shook his head, "There are already enough people here. We won't be able to help much even if we go."

Chapter 469 What Fire Dragon? I don’t know
Mr. Weasley did not join in the fun at the Dark Mark, but returned to his original tent with the others.
Because it was on the edge of the camp, it was fortunately spared from the rioting crowd and the tents were intact.
Percy poked his head out of the tent nervously, and relaxed a lot when he saw that the person coming was Mr. Weasley.
He covered his arm with a bed sheet. Blood was oozing out of it. He looked seriously injured.
"Where did you go just now..." Mr. Weasley walked over quickly and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
"It's okay." Although Percy grimaced in pain, his expression was extremely excited. "I was injured in front of Mr. Crouch. He must have seen... my heroic performance against the dark wizard."
"Yes, yes..." Charlie glanced at him, "Maybe tomorrow he will promote you to Deputy Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the heroic Mr. Percy Weatherby."
He was a little angry, and his tone was inevitably a little aggressive.
They were besieged by Malfoy and his men before and almost died there... Fortunately, Kyle showed up in time, otherwise, no one knows what would happen to them now.
But what is certain is that even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will definitely be tortured by the Cruciatus Curse.
Even Kyle knew to be worried about Mr. Weasley's safety and came over to help, but what about Percy... He actually ran to Crouch to show how brave he was.
If the others weren't there, he would have wanted to give Percy a good beating.
Next to him, Bill's face also didn't look very good.
But Percy didn't know this and was still feeling smug.
"You're joking again. This is impossible." Percy didn't care that Charlie deliberately mispronounced his name, or that Fred and Percy had been calling him that these days, and he had long been used to it. "I just hope that Mr. Crouch can assign me some more meaningful work in the future... The current job is a bit too easy for me."
"Hehe..." Charlie sneered and didn't respond.
In order to calm himself down and avoid beating Percy up, he simply drank a sip of water and prepared to go out with Mr. Weasley to look for Harry, Ron and the others.
However, just as they reached the door, a group of people walked in from outside.
Cedric was walking in the front, followed by Qiu, Connor, Harry...Fred and George were at the end.
Not one less, all of them came back.
But their faces didn't look very good, they were pale and looked as if they were extremely frightened.
"Great, you're all okay." Mr. Weasley said happily, "I think you must have been scared, but now you're all right. Come in and have some water. We'll be home soon."
No one spoke, but everyone looked at Kyle who had just entered the tent.
They were indeed terrified, but it had nothing to do with the riot, but rather with Kyle's box.
At first, when everyone found that there was a small room in the box, they were all very surprised, and even their nervousness was alleviated a lot.
Until Ron opened the door out of curiosity... and then they saw a fire dragon that was almost dozens of feet tall.
The fire dragon was lying at the door. The moment the door opened, they could even clearly feel the scorching breath coming out of the fire dragon's nose.
As soon as I opened the door, I came face to face with the fire dragon... Who knows this feeling?
Anyway, Ron, who was closest to the fire dragon, was frightened and fainted on the spot.
Just like that, several people and the fire dragon stared at each other... It was unknown how long it had been, maybe a minute, or maybe half an hour, before Kanna mustered up the courage to walk over and close the door.
But despite this, they were still so frightened that they dared not move. They stood there trembling, not daring to breathe, for fear of alarming the big guy outside.
Even Fred and George, who were losing their temper and clamoring to go out, instantly shut up and became quiet.
The few of them stayed like this until Kyle came to call them out.
"Tell me that's not true, will you?" Cedric asked through gritted teeth as Mr. Weasley went to get some water.
"What?" Kyle didn't quite understand what he meant.
"That dragon!" Ron said leisurely beside him, his face red as if he had been hit.
"Oh, you mean Norbert." Kyle suddenly realized, "Yes, that's fake, there is no fire dragon in the box, you all saw it wrong!"
In an instant, everyone's expressions became uglier.
What he said was so fake... Don't think they didn't hear it. Kyle even called out the fire dragon's name just now.
And even if one person was wrong, could it be that they all were wrong... This was obviously impossible.
And that name, Norbert...
In the crowd, Hermione lowered her head and thought, she always felt like she had heard this name somewhere.
Oh, right……
She suddenly remembered that the Norwegian Ridgeback that Hagrid hatched in the first grade seemed to be called this name.
Kyle was also there at the time, and the dragon disappeared inexplicably later. No one knew where it went, and Hagrid wouldn't tell them when asked.
Could it be...
Hermione looked at the box again. Now she finally understood what solution Hagrid had mentioned.
"Believe me, you really saw it wrong."
On the other side, Kyle was still swearing, "How could I not know about my own box? If you don't believe me, I can take you there again. There really is nothing inside."
"What are you talking about..." At this time, Mr. Weasley came over with water and some bread and sausages?
"Dad, Kyle's..." Ron was about to say something, but he suddenly found that Kyle was looking at him with a very strange look.
For a moment, Ron's heart tightened, and then he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, and his mind became extremely clear.
"Nothing, Dad." Instinctively, he immediately changed the topic and said, "We were just scared. Those guys were so scary. They had disguised themselves as people from the Ministry of Magic and wanted to kill Harry..."
"What did you say?!" Mr. Weasley was terrified. He walked up to Harry, grabbed him, looked him over carefully, and only let go when he was sure that he was really okay.
Mr. Weasley patted his chest and asked with lingering fear: "Tell me, what happened before."
"This is what happened, Mr. Weasley..." Without waiting for Ron to speak, Cedric took the initiative to step forward and told him what had happened.
Maybe it was because Kyle deliberately chose to let them out of the tent just now. He didn't mention the box, but just said that they were hiding in a safe enough place.
While they were talking, Kanna stood nearby, staring at Kyle intently.
Kyle was a little scared by her stare, and shrugged, "Well, if you are interested, would you like to come and take a look at my box? I can be your tour guide.
