"Hey, that's mine," Fred said disapprovingly.
"Don't be so stingy, just buy it again." Kyle said nonchalantly.
"Wait a minute, what did you mean when you said there were no more Dementors?" Hermione asked confused.
"We are going to solve this problem these days." Kyle took another sip of butterbeer. "To be honest, you were right to move to Diagon Alley. The number of Dementors around Hertfordshire is really great. Not too little.
"But it's gone now. You can move back home at any time."
what?
Hermione was a little confused, because she was really not sure whether this was good news or not.
Technically speaking, yes, it meant she no longer had to worry about dementors threatening her parents.
But the problem is that she just spent fifty galleons two days ago to open a room here for a month.
If I move out now, will the money be refunded?
Hermione turned to look at the owner of the bar, and her intuition told her that she would not be able to retreat.
That was fifty galleons, enough for her to stay at Hogwarts until she graduated.
"Thank you, thank you..." Hermione said stiffly, covering her chest.
For the first time, she felt that the Ministry of Magic actually didn't need to move so fast.
But soon, Hermione adjusted her mood.
Just because the Dementors in Hertfordshire have been dealt with, it doesn't mean that there are no Dementors anymore. What if they come from somewhere else again.
It's safer to be in Diagon Alley, just think of it as spending money to let your parents know more about the magical world.
After the initial nervousness, they were indeed happy during this time.
Her mother loved the clothes in Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, and her father was obsessed with potions and a toothpaste said to contain fire-ash snake eggs.
The stuff was horribly expensive, but he still gritted his teeth and bought a tube.
If they were asked to go back now, they might not be happy.

Chapter 702 Gubulai Immortal Fire
After a simple night's rest, Kyle and Cedric began their search for dementors again. In other words, this was their main mission for a long time.
Although Fudge felt that this kind of thing could be done by more professional Aurors, he did not object at Kyle's insistence.
As for Kyle's idea of letting more wizards participate in hunting dementors by offering bounties, it was rejected.
Of course Fudge also wanted to solve the Dementor problem as soon as possible. Even when he last met with the Muggle Prime Minister, the other party also mentioned this matter emphatically.
Kyle's method certainly works, but it requires a lot of money.
After the mysterious man made a comeback, he received requests for galleons almost every day, and he really had no extra money.
This is why he agreed to let Kyle deal with those dementors. In this case, even one more person would be good.
……
On the other side, after leaving the Ministry of Magic, Kyle did not rush to find the dementors, but went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place first.
"Kyle? My dear, why are you here?" Mrs. Weasley opened the door and said happily: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want some sandwiches?"
"I'll take two," Kyle said with a smile.
"More is fine." Mrs. Weasley took Kyle to the kitchen and brought him a large plate of corned beef sandwiches.
"Where are Fred and George?" Kyle asked as he ate his sandwich.
"Didn't come back yesterday." Mrs. Weasley said. "There are too many people in the shop. They have to keep making those anti-dementor necklaces... What about you, why are you free to come here today? Are you on vacation?"
"Of course not." Kyle picked up the second sandwich and said, "I came here to see if Professor Dumbledore is here."
"Dumbledore?" Mrs. Weasley said, "He hasn't been here since he sent Harry here."
"That's it..." Kyle was a little disappointed.
"What do you want from Dumbledore?"
"I wanted to ask him if he had any Gublerian fire," Kyle said as he stuffed a second corned beef sandwich into his mouth and drank another glass of pumpkin juice.
After learning that Dumbledore was not here, Kyle was ready to leave.
But at this time, Sirius and Lupine happened to walk in from outside.
They were so lethargic that they looked as if they hadn't slept in days.
"Those werewolves are so dangerous..." Sirius complained, "Remus, I don't think they can stand on our side. Don't waste your energy."
"No, there is still something to gain." Lupine said, "At least we have won over twenty werewolves."
"That's because other werewolves look down on them," Sirius said.
The werewolves who were friends with Lupine were either thin or old werewolves with few teeth left. They had no fighting ability at all and were just a waste of time.
But Lupine didn't think so.
"This is just the beginning..." He said patiently, "And I've recently been in contact with a werewolf group hiding in Diagon Alley. They have been suppressed because they are unwilling to join Fenrir Greyback. I think this is a good opportunity."
"I don't dare to trust other werewolves like I trust you." Sirius muttered.
But he also knew that he couldn't convince Lupine, so he simply said nothing more and turned to look at Kyle, who had just finished his sandwich.
"Long time no see, Kyle." Sirius greeted, "I seemed to have heard you say just now that you were looking for some Kubu fire. What is it?"
"It's the Gubulai fairy fire." Lupine corrected: "A magical flame that will never go out. It is a top-level alchemy item and is very rare... Kyle, what do you want this for?"
"In order to deal with the dementors." Kyle said truthfully: "In addition to the patron saint, magical flames are also their nemesis, but it is too tiring to keep using the fire spell."
Hearing the Fire Curse, Mrs. Weasley shivered and couldn't help but said: "Kyle, you are not an adult yet. You should not use that kind of dangerous black magic."
"I know." Kyle said, "That's why I wanted to find Professor Dumbledore and ask him if he still had the Gubler Fire."
"As far as I know, there should be some." Lupine thought for a moment, "One of the gifts Hagrid brought to the giants was the Gubler Fairy Fire. Such a top-notch alchemical creation, even Dumbledore's Lido won’t have the second one either.”
"What? Gave it to the giant?" Kyle's whole body felt bad.
He vaguely remembered that when he was chatting with Hagrid some time ago, he did say that before visiting the giant tribe, Dumbledore gave him something as a gift, but Kyle didn't know what it was, and Hagrid didn't say anything. .
He never expected that it was the Gubulai Immortal Fire.
Kyle only felt distressed.
What a waste. If you give such a good thing to the giants, will they use it?
Kyle sighed, stood up and prepared to leave.
Just like Lupine said, even Dumbledore couldn't have a second good thing like this.
"Wait a minute..." Sirius suddenly said, "Although I don't know if that thing is the Gublerite fairy fire you are looking for, but if it is a magical flame that will never go out, I know where to find it."
"You know?" Kyle looked at him in surprise.
"Come with me." Sirius turned around and walked out of the house without explaining. "Hurry up, go early and come back early, I'm really sleepy..."
Kyle quickly followed.
……
Five minutes later, the two arrived at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Diagon Alley.
"I need to go to the Black family's vault." Sirius said, taking out a key and handing it over.
The goblin sitting behind the counter took the key, checked it carefully, and said with a smile:
"Welcome, Mr. Black."
"Stop talking so much." Sirius waved his hand impatiently, "If there's no problem, just take us there quickly."
"As you wish..."
Another goblin came over and led them to the familiar passage.
"You'd better be mentally prepared, Kyle, this is not going to be a pleasant trip." Sirius reluctantly got into the trolley, "I really don't understand why Gringotts can't be entered with just a key. It’s the underground vault.”
"The key alone is not safe enough," said the goblin who had brought them here.
After Kyle also sat on it, the cart took them all the way, passing through the area where the real waterfall and the fire dragon were, and then walked forward for a long distance.
There were fewer and fewer vault doors on both sides, and the light was getting darker and darker. I don't know how long it took, but just when Sirius was about to vomit, the trolley finally stopped.
At this time, all they could see was a vault door.
The goblin jumped off the cart first and opened the vault with a key and a series of tedious operations.
The moment the vault door was opened, the dim passage seemed to be dyed golden.
Kyle couldn't even count how many gold galleons, gems of various colors, ornate armor and swords were piled inside, all thrown on the ground like garbage.
Sirius walked in and kicked a gem-encrusted mirror to the side without a care. His eyes bypassed the mountains of galleons and finally landed on the top of the vault, a torch used as a lighting tool.
The flame is not big, but it is very stable...
Kyle recognized it at a glance. This was the Gublai Immortal Fire he was looking for.
He had guessed since arriving in Diagon Alley that this thing was in the Black family's vault?
The Gubler Fairy Fire is a very special magical flame that will not go out whether it is in water, on a snowy mountaintop, or in a completely sealed vault. It is most suitable for ancient pure-blood families like Black. Show your status.
"How is it? Is it what you are looking for?" Sirius asked.
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "It is indeed the Gubulai Fairy Fire."
"Take it away..." Sirius waved his wand, ready to take it off.
Because the torch seemed to have a permanent sticking spell and could not be moved, he even prepared to blow up the wall of the vault, not caring about the subsequent safety issues.
Of course, Gringotts's treasury cannot be destroyed by just a random spell.
In the end, the goblin who was accompanying him couldn't stand it anymore. He snapped his fingers with a dark face and took the initiative to help Sirius take off the torch.
"I'll give it back to you after I've dealt with the Dementors," Kyle said.
"Are you kidding me!" Sirius immediately became unhappy, "I never get back the things I gave away, let alone you doing it to deal with dementors...
