The corner of Chris's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at Kyle, but in the end he said nothing.
Afterwards, Amos Diggory used the portkey to take Kyle and the injured Cedric out of here and back to the Ministry of Magic.
After they left, Scrimgeour came to a charred tree and touched the trunk.
"Chris, come here and take a look. Isn't this dragon fire?"
"Ah, no." Chris also touched the tree trunk, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The sulfur smell of dragon flame will be stronger, and the adhesion will be stronger. What appears here... should be It’s just a special magical flame.”
"That's good." Scrimgeour breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is a fire dragon among the Death Eaters, it will be really troublesome."
"Yeah," Chris agreed.
"But your son is really outstanding." Scrimgeour said with a smile: "Faced with two Death Eaters, he fought off one and captured the other alive. He is simply a born Auror. He is really useful in a place like the minister's office." It’s a bit of a waste of talent.”
"Ahem..." Chris smiled, but soon returned to normal, coughed twice and said: "I have to remind you, Rufus, you must never say this in the ministry."
"Of course I won't," Scrimgeour said, "but you should really persuade Kyle to let him be an Auror. He is suitable for this."
"I will." Chris said with a smile, "But the final choice depends on Kyle's opinion."

Chapter 706 The Forgetting Curse and the Lost Wand
London.
St. Mungo's.
Cedric's injury was not serious. A young therapist hurriedly walked into the ward, held down his leg and violently broke it, and then quickly wrapped two circles of bandages with his hands and feet.
"Okay, then drink a bottle of magic potion and the bones will grow back tomorrow."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the ward. At this time, Kyle had just unpacked the chocolate frog. The whole process did not even take more than a minute.
"I told you, there's no need to come to St. Mungo's." Cedric said helplessly.
"It's better to be cautious." Mr. Diggory said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "From now on, the task of hunting down dementors should be left to Aurors. You can stay at the Ministry of Magic."
"Dad, I'm fine," Cedric said. "The reason why I got injured this time was just because of my inexperience."
"No."
"Capturing dementors is primarily the responsibility of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, not the Aurors."
"Then I'll go." Mr. Diggory insisted. His meaning was simply that Cedric would not be allowed to take any more risks.
When he received Cedric's distress message before, he felt like the sky was falling and he almost fainted in the office.
"But..." Cedric wanted to say something else.
"Just listen to Mr. Diggory." Kyle interrupted, "There are fewer and fewer dementors now, and we don't need to deliberately capture them anymore."
"And didn't you want to take a vacation before? Now it's just right. It won't be three days. How about a week. During this period, you can rest in peace and recover."
"Great!" Mr. Diggory said happily, "Thank you so much, Kyle, and it's also thanks to you that I saved Ced this time..."
"It's okay, after all, we are acting together." Kyle said.
"No." Cedric shook his head, "Seven days is too long. The ministry is already short of people, so three days is better."
"That was before. Don't forget that the Dementor problem has been solved now." Kyle waved his hand, stood up and said, "That's it."
Then, without waiting for Cedric to say anything else, Kyle said hello to Mr. Diggory and left St. Mungo's.
……
When he returned to the Ministry of Magic, someone was already waiting for him.
"How's it going? You're not hurt?" Chris asked.
"No," Kyle said.
"That's good." Chris took Kyle into the elevator, "Come on, I'll take you to the Auror office."
As the target of this Death Eater attack, Kyle would definitely have to go to the Auror office. He had already thought of this.
After reaching the second floor, the two left the elevator and walked along a corridor covered with wanted portraits.
"The minister takes this attack very seriously. No matter what, we must find and capture the escaped Death Eater!"
Before he even reached the door, Kyle heard Scrimgeour growling.
"In addition, tell everyone that they must be vigilant. If the Death Eaters appear again, they must be caught... With so many Aurors, aren't we as good as Kyle, a child under seventeen years old?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door in the office.
Then Chris opened the door and walked in with Kyle.
There were more portraits in the Auror's office than in the corridor outside, almost covering the entire wall. There were piles of files and information on the tables and cabinets, and other places were occupied by all kinds of weird magical items.
Kyle noticed that there was a huge mirror next to Scrimgeour, with many people reflected in it, but none of them in the room.
In addition, there is a looking glass the size of a Bludger on the windowsill, spinning calmly.
"You're here, Chris." Scrimgeour's tone was much calmer.
"How's it going? I didn't bother you." Chris asked.
"No," said Scrimgeour, and with a wave of his hand the Aurors left the room.
"I think this is your first time here." Scrimgeour looked at Kyle, "Just briefly describe the situation at that time, it won't take too long... Oh, sit down quickly, I You and your father are very good friends, so just be casual."
"Okay." Kyle said, sitting down on a sofa that didn't have so many documents.
"So..." Scrimgeour took out a piece of parchment, "How many Death Eaters are there in total this time."
"Two," Kyle blurted out.
Scrimgeour nodded and made a mark on the parchment. "Do you know who they are? Names or characteristics are all fine."
"The one who was captured doesn't know." Kyle said, "But the witch who escaped should be named Carlo."
"Caro... a witch?" Scrimgeour thought for a moment, "It should be Alecto Carrow. She and Amycus Carrow were suspected of being Death Eaters seventeen years ago, but At the time, they insisted that they were under the Imperius Curse, and due to lack of evidence, they escaped trial."
"This was not uncommon at the time," Chris said, seeming to be explaining something to Kyle.
"The mysterious man fell suddenly, and the Ministry of Magic was in chaos at the time. It was difficult... and impossible to imprison a large number of pure-blood wizards in Azkaban. That's why these fish slipped through the net."
"Yes...but not anymore," Scrimgeour said.
"What happened after that and how did you defeat them."
Of course Kyle couldn't tell the truth, but he had already thought of his words.
There is no need to hide the topic of procrastination. He just replaced the fire dragon with the magic taught by Dumbledore.
Scrimgeour also had no doubts about this.
All wizards knew that Dumbledore valued Kyle very much, and it was completely normal to teach him two-hand magic, such as the fire magic that shocked everyone in the Triwizard Tournament.
However, the flame magic will leave a straight channel on the ground, which is inconsistent with the traces left on the scene. It must be another kind of magic.
After Kyle finished speaking, Scrimgeour looked at the contents on the parchment and asked some more detailed questions, but Kyle answered them perfectly.
"Sorry." Half an hour later, Scrimgeour looked at three sheets of parchment, looked up at Kyle and said, "Because the Death Eater lost a memory, we can only ask you what happened. ”
When he said this, his eyes flickered slightly.
"The Death Eater should have done it himself." Kyle said calmly: "When I was chasing him, I saw him using the Oblivion Curse on himself. You will know as long as you find his wand."
"We've been looking," said Scrimgeour.
Chris frowned, "Rufus, are you suspecting that Kyle hid the wand?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to accept the wand test." Kyle took out his wand.
"No, don't get me wrong." Scrimgeour said with a smile, "Those Death Eaters want to kill Kyle, and he has absolutely no reason to do so, right?
"I guess the Death Eaters must be trying to hide something... We have encountered this situation many times before. Dark wizards will use the Oblivion Curse on themselves before being caught, or destroy their wands, trying to cover themselves up. committed crimes and escaped justice."
"In this case, wouldn't the Ministry of Magic have nothing to do with them?" Kyle asked.
For the Ministry of Magic, testing wands can directly determine whether the other party has used illegal spells, and is an important process in the trial.
"It's just a little more troublesome. The things they have done will not disappear with the wand." Scrimgeour said, "Also, they can't use the forgetting spell on everyone. We can always find new evidence."
"Wait a minute..." Chris suddenly thought of something and said, "If the Death Eaters used the Oblivion Curse on themselves, wouldn't we be able to know where the Death Eaters' base camp is through him?"
"I shouldn't have told you this." Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment, but finally whispered: "Luckily, he has a lot of memories of this in his head, and it cannot be completely cleared away by a forgetting spell."
"Then you found it?"
"Found it. We used some special means and learned from the other party that he had been in an alley in Wiltshire with five other Death Eaters."
"Do you need my help?" Chris said seriously.
"Thank you, Chris." Scrimgeour sighed, "But when I rushed over with all the Aurors half an hour ago, the Death Eaters were no longer there.
"Apparently they also knew about the arrest of their companions and fled ahead of time."
"That's a shame." Chris shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, we can always catch them."
"Bang bang bang!"
Following a knock on the door, several Aurors hurriedly walked in.
Chris stood up, "Rufus, if nothing happens..."
"Ah, I've asked all the questions, so please go ahead." Scrimgeour said, "And Kyle, if you want, you can come to work in the Auror office at any time."
"Okay." Kyle nodded.
The two then left the room and took the elevator back to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
……
"It's really dangerous."
After closing the office door, Chris turned his head and glanced at Kyle, "When you took out the wand, my heart skipped a beat.
"If I guess correctly, you used the forgetting spell, right?"
