"Oh, Mom, what is this?" George's scalp was numb now that he saw the parchment.
"Your store's inventory," said Mrs. Weasley.
Because Fred and George were about to enter the Ministry of Magic, she seemed to be less resistant to the joke shop they opened than before.
"Kyle added a lot of things to you, and right at the end, he said that if you insist on not going to the Ministry of Magic, let me cross them out.
"Now it seems that this is not necessary."
The two took the parchment and looked at it.
Hogwarts map
Warm up badge
Automatic ink quill pen
……
There are about a dozen kinds, all of which are gadgets developed by Kyle at Hogwarts, and they are all very popular.
"Did he give these to us?" George's eyes widened.
"Give Kyle a share." Mrs. Weasley said seriously, "We can't take other people's things for free."
"Okay, I'll just say it casually..."
"Don't worry, Mom, we won't."
Fred and George looked at the parchment, and the anger in their hearts subsided a little bit unconsciously...
This is the real good thing. I have to say that the gadgets developed by Kyle are very popular and can make their store famous faster.
Take the map for example... The automatic pathfinding map, except that it cannot display everyone's name, is already comparable to the Marauder's Map in other aspects.
They believe that any new student who walks into the store will not miss this kind of good stuff.
But even so, they couldn't just forgive Kyle. The most they could do was punch him... less punches.
"Mom." Fred took a vicious bite of the pie, "We forgot something at home. Can we go back to St. Catchpole Village tomorrow?"
"Yes, it's a very important thing." George also narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, you can, but as soon as possible." Mrs. Weasley nodded, "Don't forget that you have to go to the Ministry of Magic in the morning. You always have to leave a good impression on others when you go to work for the first time. If you are late, you will not alright."
"Ah, we'll be quick." Fred took another bite of the pie, as if the pie in his hand was someone.

Chapter 692 Giant Crisis
Early the next morning, Fred and George didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and angrily fought back to the village of St. Catchpole.
But they didn't get to see Kyle as they wished.
"What, he went out?"
"Yes, just ten minutes ago." Chris said. "Mr. Scamander thought it was time for Kyle to go out and experience things for a long time, so he took him out during this vacation."
He opened the door and let the two of them in, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet."
"No need, we..."
Before Fred could ask, he smelled a very special aroma, which seemed to be grilled steak, but also had an indescribable fragrance, like morning dew or freshly picked fruit.
The two of them walked into the house unconsciously as if their noses were grabbed by something.
Chris smiled and waved his magic wand, and two steaming, fragrant steaks floated out of the kitchen and landed on the empty plates on the dining table.
"The hind legs of the giant horn are also the favorite food of the black dragons in the Heshidry Islands."
Chris smiled and said: "This kind of creature does not exist in the UK. Mr. Scamander brought it here specially. Try it and see how it goes."
"Then you're welcome." Fred and George sat on the table and couldn't help but cut a piece of steak into their mouths.
It is indeed delicious, not to mention the Heshidri Black Dragon, they also like it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, half the steak disappeared.
"What are we doing here..." Fred always felt that he should ask something, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back together with the steak.
Forget it, never mind, let’s eat first...
……
At the same time, Kyle had followed Newt to an inaccessible place, surrounded by mountains, and they were on the top of one of the mountains.
"In the south of Romania..." Newt pointed in the direction directly opposite them. "Going straight ahead from here is Bulgaria. I have walked this road several times and remember it clearly."
Kyle glanced at him and said slowly: "So this must not be an officially marked road, right?"
"At least the door key we used was obtained through formal channels."
Newt casually put a brooch into his pocket and said with some sigh: "This is really good. I went through a lot of effort to get certain door keys. I even received fake ones. I spent a lot of Galleons, but the destination was somewhere else."
Kyle knew that he was talking about his experience of sending magical animals around the world decades ago, so he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened to the person who sold you the fake goods? Didn't you go find him?"
"Of course I looked for it, but couldn't find it," Newt said. "That's normal. After all, it's illegal to resell door keys. They never stay in the same place for too long.
"But I heard that that person seemed to have done something and suddenly one day became a hero in their country."
Kyle tried to keep a straight face... Selling fake goods and becoming a national hero is rare even in the wizarding world... But if it is a portkey and it happens to Newt, it doesn't seem so puzzling. .
After all, he saved his country from a disaster... It's just the title of a hero, which is not excessive.
"Then how did you know?" Kyle continued to ask: "Did he write to you?"
"No, I heard about it from other people who resold door keys, and he seemed to have returned the galleons to me... I dare say the owl that sent the galleons had been flying for at least a month when it found me. He has become so thin that he is just skin and bones, what a pitiful little guy.”
Newt didn't seem to want to discuss too much about his experiences in his youth. He looked around, as if he was looking for someone...
"It's strange. Dumbledore said that the person responsible for picking us up is nearby. He also said that we can recognize her at a glance... Where is she?"
"It seems that you are the ones I'm waiting for." At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Newt first turned around, then raised his head to see the other person's full view.
Madam Maxime of Beauxbatons... The person's height of nearly ten feet is simply too recognizable.
"Oh, it's such an amazing illusion spell."
"Although I really want to accept your compliment, what I used was actually an illusion spell, and the real me is actually in another place."
Ms. Maxim smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is no one in the entire magic world who is better at the Disembodiment Spell than you. If I use this magic, I will definitely be discovered."
Newt smiled but said nothing.
At this time, Kyle also noticed something like a mirror hidden under Ms. Maxim's feet, but because it was hidden in the pile of leaves, they didn't notice it just now.
A moment later, with a slight explosion, the real Ms. Maxim arrived. She stretched out her hand and said:
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Scamander. Your works have always been Beauxbatons' most important textbooks."
"It's my pleasure." Newt also extended his hand.
"And you Kyle, glad we meet again."
"Me too, Ms. Maxim," Kyle said with a smile.
"I heard that you have done many great things this year, and you were even specially hired by the British Ministry of Magic?"
"It's just a little fight, no big deal," Kyle said.
"You are too modest..." Madam Maxime shook her head. "Under normal circumstances, the French Ministry of Magic would not employ a sixth-year student. I believe it is the same in your country."
"I really regret not knocking you out and taking you away." She said half-jokingly, "But your status is different now. If you do this again, it will become an international dispute."
Kyle twitched his lips and quickly changed the subject: "What are we here to do?"
"Oh, you don't know?" Ms. Maxim looked at Newt with interest, "Didn't you tell him?"
"I forgot." Newt patted his head, "Well, it's not too late to say it now. We came out this time mainly because of the giant."
"Giant?" Kyle suddenly understood. No wonder the person responsible for meeting them was Ms. Maxim, but he didn't know why Hagrid didn't come.
"Tell me about the current situation," Newt said.
"It's a little tricky." Ms. Maxim's voice became much deeper. "I've been paying attention to their movements recently. Their Gogo Googoma has completely turned to the side of the Death Eaters. Recently, he is leading the migration of the tribe. , from a direction perspective, the destination is the UK.”
"Already started taking action?" Newt frowned, "Why so fast."
"Because of the Death Eaters." Ms. Maxim said, "A black-robed wizard went to Gao Gaoma's cave yesterday, and they began to move at night."
"They must be stopped." Newt said solemnly: "Otherwise, the Muggle villages along the way will suffer."
"One has already been destroyed." Ms. Maxim shook her head and sighed: "Hagrid and I just moved away the Muggles, and dozens of giants trampled the village."
After hearing this, Newt didn't waste any more time and immediately prepared to rush over.
But Ms. Maxim told him not to be too anxious.
"We have already seen it. There is no second village on their path in a short period of time, and Hagrid is also watching. If anything happens, he will contact me as soon as possible."
"No, you are wrong." Newt said seriously: "Giants are cruel in nature. They will take the initiative to find and approach places with life activities instead of following the shortest path."
Ms. Maxim did not doubt the authenticity of Newt's words. If there was anyone who knew giants better than her, then the person in front of her must be one, so she immediately quickened her pace.
"Come with me, they are not far away..."
On the way, Newt looked at Kyle, who was still very confused, and asked, "Are you wondering why you were asked to come?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded.
It stands to reason that if Newt wanted to find help, his father Chris would definitely be the first choice, as they had done before.
"That's because Chris is too conspicuous." Newt said. "If he suddenly disappears from the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters will probably guess that we are going to take action against the giants, and they may send more people over, including others. The same goes for members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"But you are different. Your target is relatively not that big. Even if you leave for a while, it will not attract the attention of the Death Eaters."
...Is it just that I am inconspicuous?
Kyle curled his lips. Although it was true, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Who do you look down on...
