It wasn't until half an hour later that Hermione finally stopped, took out a bottle of pumpkin soda she had prepared in advance and took a sip.
Kyle thought about what he just said...Hermione said a lot, but not much was useful.
For example, regarding the situation of the House Elves and the Muggle Conciliation Committee, her reasons are indeed very good, but they are all imagined by her.
In fact, Hermione had never actually been to these two departments, and she didn't know that the staff in these two places were almost crazy... especially the Muggle Mediation Committee.
Nowadays, wizards will inevitably interact with Muggles in their daily lives. Even the village of St. Catchpole is a village where Muggles and wizards live together.
In this case, as time goes by, there will be some intersections and even conflicts between the two parties.
Although these problems can be solved with magic, such as the Forgetfulness Spell or the Confusion Spell, not everyone will choose this method.
Because according to the latest "Wizard Law", wizards are not allowed to harm Muggles. Once they fail to master the spell well and cause harm to Muggles, the smiters will immediately come to the door and punish the wizard to a certain extent.
Of course, under normal circumstances, one would not be imprisoned in Azkaban, but punishment is definitely inevitable. According to Kyle's understanding, it is usually a fine, ranging from thirty to one hundred galleons, depending on the situation.
The Forgetting Curse and the Confusion Curse are advanced spells, so usually, wizards who do not do very well in school or are not very confident in themselves will choose to report these conflicts to the Ministry of Magic, and professionals will deal with these conflicts.
This is the task of the Muggle Issues Mediation Committee, and the people in this department are absolutely professional. There are two employees, one with thirty years of experience, and the other with fifty years, a proper veteran employee.
The main reason is that no one wants to go to this department. Even if they have lowered the conditions to the lowest level, no one will consider it.
In addition to the small salary, what's more important is that it has a lot to do. The two employees spend most of their time traveling between villages and towns every day, solving trivial matters between wizards and Muggles.
If we were to choose the most tired department in the Ministry of Magic, they would definitely be in the top three, if not number one.
So what Hermione said... things that were useless and didn't work, it was just because she didn't see it.
And based on the current situation, even if there is something unreasonable in these departments, the Ministry of Magic will not waste time solving it.
The most important thing for them now is definitely to solve the problem of Death Eaters. Everything else will have to wait until the situation calms down.
But Hermione also had very good suggestions, such as communications in the Ministry of Magic... the traditional paper airplane method is indeed a bit backward and very slow.
Kyle thought about it for a while, and it might not be practical to install a telephone, but it is still possible to use magic props like communication coins, or it is not impossible to modify the telephone and replace the telephone line with magic words in an alchemical way.
At that time, you can discuss it with Fred and George to see if they can make it.
Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of noise mixed with screaming suddenly came from the distance, and the music stopped abruptly.
"What, is the dance over?" Harry turned around subconsciously.
However, when he saw clearly what was happening on the other side of the dance floor, he froze on the spot.
The Tonks couple, who had just left not long ago, were lying on the ground dying, and behind them were a group of figures wearing cloaks and masks.
Death Eaters! Harry would never forget this outfit.
"Damn, how did they find this place!" Ron shouted in horror.
"The Red Loyalty Curse has a limited range. It's possible that we exceeded it but didn't find it."
Cedric still retained a trace of calmness, "And there are also Mr. and Mrs. Tonks. If the Death Eaters have been following them, they can also find their approximate location."
"Then what should we do?" Ron turned to look at Harry, "They must be coming for you, let's run!"
He grabbed Harry's arm and wanted to take him away from here, but unexpectedly, Harry stood still as if under a binding spell.
At this moment, a flash of light flashed above their heads, which was the Death Eater's curse.
"What are you waiting for, Harry!" Ron shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, or it will be too late."
"Don't panic," Cedric said. "They can't find us yet."
"No, it will be soon." Kyle said as he stood up, and Fox on his shoulder opened his eyes.
"Can they break through the protection of the Chidan Loyalty Curse?"
"It has nothing to do with this." Kyle frowned.
"My dear niece, we are here to attend your wedding, why don't you come out to greet us." A sharp voice came from among the Death Eaters. "Come out quickly, don't keep the guests waiting."
She took off the mask on her face, revealing a familiar, crazy face, somewhat similar to Mrs. Tonks on the ground, but completely different.
Seeing that there was no movement around, she suddenly smiled, turned her wrist slightly, and pointed the wand at the Tonks and his wife on the ground.
"Since you are unwilling to come and greet us, then Crucio..."
"stop!"
With a sharp shout, Tonks took the initiative to walk out of the range of the Loyalty Curse and came to the Death Eaters, with Lupine following closely beside her.
"Hoho, Nymphadora Tonks, my dear niece." Bellatrix glanced at them coldly, "I thought that my sister marrying a mudblood would be enough to humiliate us. I didn’t expect that her daughter would be even more shameless and actually choose a werewolf..."
"This has nothing to do with you, Bellatrix." Tonks said with a straight face, "You are not welcome here, leave now!"
"You drove me away? Hahaha..." Bellatrix suddenly laughed nervously, "...did you hear...she asked me to leave...hahaha...cut out the bones!"
A beam of light shot out from the wand and fell on Mr. Tonks. He immediately curled up into a ball and trembled.
"stop!"
"Collapse!"
"All petrified!"
Tonks and Lupine immediately fought back, forcing Bellatrix to remove her wand, but this also angered the Death Eaters who followed. They also pulled out their wands, and the battle began instantly.
The invited bands had never expected something like this to happen. They dropped everything in their hands and fled in all directions, then Disapparated once they were out of the range of the protective magic.
Everyone else except them rushed towards the Death Eaters.
Sirius was the first to rush out and used the Iron Armor Curse to help Lupine and Tonks block the first wave of spell attacks.
Mrs. Weasley also joined the fight after pushing Ginny into the house in a panic.
"We're going to help too," Harry said, running over without looking back.
"Wait!" Hermione stopped him. "They must be looking for you, we have to get out of here first."
"I can't do it!" Harry's eyes turned red, "I can't persuade myself to leave, especially here."
Hermione subconsciously glanced at the house not far away. She understood what Harry meant, but her reason told her that she couldn't let Harry do whatever he wanted.
"No, you have to leave with me." She grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him in the other direction.
Disapparation cannot be used within the protection range of the Red Loyalty Curse, and one must go out first.
Ron on the side hesitated for a moment before decisively siding with Hermione.
"Let me go!" Harry struggled. "Dumbledore is here too. Why are we running? Let me go."
It must be said that Harry's voice was very timely. As soon as he finished speaking, the force on his arm instantly became much weaker.
"Yes, Dumbledore is here too." Ron blurted out. He glanced around, "But where is the other guy? Why haven't he come out yet? I obviously saw him just now."

Chapter 790 The Battle in Godric's Hollow
Where is Dumbledore... Except for Ron, everyone else also had this question. They clearly remembered that they had seen Dumbledore and talked to him. Why did he suddenly disappear now?
But except for Kyle, I'm afraid no one can give them an answer to this question.
The moment the Death Eaters appeared, Kyle immediately became nervous. He ignored Harry and Hermione who were arguing, and didn't even look at them. He just searched among the Death Eaters seriously. With.
After a moment, Kyle felt slightly relieved.
Fortunately, they all wore masks... This was the standard equipment of Death Eaters. Since they were Death Eaters, it meant that the most troublesome person was not here.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
By the time Kyle came back to his senses, the battle had completely begun. The light of the magic spell was shining in all directions. Under such a dense attack, the surrounding protective magic only lasted for a while before being completely destroyed.
Everyone was exposed to the Death Eaters. The sky seemed to be covered by a thick black fog. They dropped from the sky and appeared around everyone with their advantage in numbers.
Harry's side had the most people.
Hermione was interrupted just as she was about to take him away. Various spells came from all directions, making it difficult for her to concentrate on using Apparition.
In desperation, Hermione made a quick decision and pushed Harry away. At the same time, she threw herself in the opposite direction, narrowly avoiding the incoming curse.
But Ron on the side was a step slower and was hit on the shoulder by a magic spell.
Ron clutched his shoulders and screamed. A large amount of blood poured out from the wound, and even his robe was soaked.
"Ron, Ron! How are you!" Hermione asked in a trembling voice, but her voice was soon drowned out by a louder explosion.
She wanted to go to Ron, but her way was blocked by Death Eaters falling from the sky.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry shouted, waving his wand.
Although he successfully knocked away a Death Eater's weapon, facing so many enemies, this advantage was obviously of little use.
"Kyle!" Cedric shouted: "You go and save Harry, I have to help Lupine and Tonks, they won't last long!"
"No, you stay here!" Kyle appeared in front of Ron in an instant, waved his wand, and a silver shield helped him block all the spells in front of him.
At the same time, the ground rose high, like a wave, carrying Harry and Hermione not far away from the Death Eaters.
In just an instant, the crisis for the three of them was temporarily lifted.
"Go to Cedric." Kyle glanced at the embarrassed three people, then turned back and shouted: "I leave this place to you, protect yourself!"
After saying that, Kyle disappeared again.
"Using apparation in battle?!" Hermione was startled when she came back to her senses, "This is too dangerous!"
"Compared with these, I think it's better for us to think about ourselves." Cedric came to a few people and said solemnly: "You don't need to worry about Kyle at all. He has already mastered this in fifth grade. Cursed... armor protection!"
Cedric used the Iron Armor Curse to block a magic spell flying from the side, and responded with a stun spell to the opponent.
Harry and Hermione also started their own counterattacks, and the three of them formed a circle to protect the injured Ron.
At the same time, Kyle had also appeared in the center of the battlefield, where Lupine and Tonks were.
Facing the attacks of Bellatrix and seven or eight Death Eaters, the two of them could only hold on. If it weren't for Sirius's timely help, they might not be able to survive even one encounter.
"Clear water is like an arrow!"
A spring of water spurted out from the tip of Kyle's wand. The water spray continued to twist in mid-air, changing into the shape of arrows, and flew quickly towards the place where the Death Eaters were the densest.
Screams suddenly came from the crowd, and there was a brief gap in the originally intensive magic attacks.
