Come to think of it, Kyle's performance of just bumping into the cabinet was incredibly perfect.
Thinking of what had just happened, Harry finally couldn't help it, and like Ginny, he covered his mouth and ran upstairs.
"Don't worry about it. They have been like this all along." Sirius took a deep breath and said, "We were sent by the Phoenix to... the Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade. A few minutes ago... we were just sent back by the owner there... the man you just saw."
"Oh." Kyle nodded, "Are the others still there? Why don't you come back soon?"
"Because we have no choice, we can't even stand... let alone apparate back." Sirius clutched the bottle of firewhiskey and took another swig.
"Later, the owner of the Pig Head Bar recognized Fox and gave him the address. Only then did we know that he was one of our own."
Mrs. Weasley continued: "For safety reasons, we asked him to help bring some people back."
"Sirius and I were the first group, Harry and Ginny were just sent back, and then you arrived too."
After hearing what she said, Kyle finally understood.
Just as the place he was most subconsciously familiar with was the village of St. Catchpole, the place Fox considered safe was not the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, but the Hog's Head pub where the other "Dumbledore" was.
"How is everyone doing?" Kyle asked.
"For now...it's okay." Mrs. Weasley thought for a moment and said, "Promise me Kyle, if it's not absolutely necessary, never let the Phoenix take us away again. If the Death Eaters chase us by then, I’m afraid we can’t even resist.”
"Okay." Kyle nodded.
Of course he knew what would happen if he was apparated by the Phoenix, but the situation was urgent and this was the best way. Otherwise, with the number of Death Eaters, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.
And where Fox felt safe, Death Eaters would certainly not be able to find it for a while.
"Then I'll go get them back now." Kyle walked out of the house again.
He originally wanted Sirius to accompany him, as the two of them would definitely have to go faster, but seeing the way he drank firewhiskey one sip after another, he gave up the idea.
Forget it, if he uses Apparition in this state, there will probably be problems, which will be even more troublesome.
Without wasting any more time, Kyle apparated directly to Hogsmeade.
Because of the time, all the shops here are closed, only the windows of the Pig Head Bar are still shining brightly.
Kyle pushed the door open and walked in, but he didn't see anyone else. He only saw an old witch lying in the corner, as if she was asleep.
Aberforth, who had just left, was standing behind the counter, wiping an equally dirty cup with a dirty rag.
No wonder others say that it is best to prepare your own tableware when you come to the Pig Head Bar. There is nothing wrong with this.
At the same time, Aberforth also saw Kyle. The vigilance in his eyes quickly turned into disgust, and he pointed to the side with his chin.
"They're upstairs."
"Thank you." Kyle immediately ran upstairs, and sure enough he saw Fred and George above. They were standing at the top of the stairs holding on to the wall, and they should be on guard.
Lupine and Hermione were taking care of the unconscious Tonks, while the others were inside.
As for Nymphadora Tonks, if Kyle guessed correctly, she should be the old witch sleeping down there.
After seeing Kyle, Fred and George had complicated looks.
"Prove your identity." Fred said, "What was the first thing we sold at Hogwarts."
"Map," Kyle said.
"No problem." Fred nodded to everyone and relaxed.
"I have a question." George walked next to Kyle, "I heard from Sirius that you asked the Phoenix to take us away?"
"It's not me, it's Dumbledore." Kyle said without changing his face: "That's his phoenix."
"is it?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"It's nothing." George took a deep breath and shook his head, "This is really not a pleasant trip, even though it saved us."
"Ah, it's normal." Kyle said calmly, "You will get used to it after you come here a few times."
"Farewell, I'd rather face the Death Eaters." Fred said, holding his stomach.
"Let's talk about this later. We have to get out of here quickly." Kyle said, "Get ready, I'll call Tonks."
When he returned downstairs, the old witch lying on the table also stood up. Her face had changed back to that of Tonks, but her hair was still messy.
Kyle motioned for her to go upstairs, then turned to look at Aberforth.
"Thank you."
"No need," Aberforth said, "Just pay me. You have delayed my business for one night. Including the cost of the door key, the total is one hundred galleons."
As he spoke, he threw the dirty glass in his hand over. There was a layer of bright blue light on the glass, which was obviously a newly made door key.
"Or you don't need this, and you only need to pay fifty galleons."
"No, one hundred galleons is no problem." Kyle said, "But I'm a little curious, why didn't you send them back with the portkey just now?"
"Better to die than both." Aberforth raised his eyelids, "Hurry up, you only have three minutes."
"Ah...ok!" Kyle walked over, took out a heavy bag and put it on the counter.
Aberforth opened it and took a look, "There's more, there are at least two hundred galleons here."
"Anything more will be considered a small favor from me." Kyle smiled, "But can you do me a little favor?"
"A small favor of a hundred galleons?" Aberforth sneered, "Tell me about it."
"That's it...can you, as Brother Dumbledore, promise to give Fox to me." Kyle whispered: "If it is possible, I will pay you another thousand Galleons."
Aberforth raised his eyebrows and pushed the bag to Kyle again without hesitation.
"Don't refuse in a hurry, two thousand... no, five thousand galleons, or ten thousand can be negotiated."
"Don't waste your efforts. It only listens to that person. It's useless what I say." Aberforth said.
"That's it..." Kyle thought for a while and pushed the bag back again, "It doesn't matter, just leave it to a friend."
"No need, I don't dare to accept it." Aberforth glanced at Kyle warily, waved his hand and threw the bag into his pocket, "You are just like that person, you are not a good person, hurry up and get out of here." .
"Portkey, by the way, is in three minutes."
"Okay..." Kyle took the cup and was about to go upstairs, but immediately turned back.
"In this case, bring me ten bottles of firewhiskey and ten bottles of brandy. I think they should need these things."
"Not for sale."
"I will pay five times more money and charge it to Dumbledore's account." Kyle said casually: "I will pay you when he comes back."
This time Aberforth didn't even hesitate and quickly packed what Kyle needed in just ten seconds.

Chapter 793 Dumbledore’s new nickname
Soon, Kyle returned to the room upstairs carrying twenty bottles of spirits.
"What is this?" Fred looked at the big package in Kyle's hand and asked doubtfully.
"Good stuff. You should feel better if you drink it later." Kyle said.
After hearing this, Fred felt his stomach begin to churn again.
"If we have to go back now, can I be the last one in line?"
"I really don't want to Apparate again anytime soon."
"Don't worry, we'll use the door key this time." Kyle took out the dirty glass.
Under his arrangement, everyone formed a circle to ensure that everyone could touch the cup with one finger.
As for the unconscious Tonks, they stayed here, and Nymphadora Tonks was responsible for sending them to the school hospital at Hogwarts for treatment.
Having just been attacked by Death Eaters, they did not dare to go to St. Mungo's with two wounded people, so the closer Hogwarts campus hospital became the best choice.
Members of the Order of the Phoenix had done this before when they were injured, and Madam Pomfrey had become accustomed to occasionally working overtime during holidays.
"My dear, it's enough for me to be alone here. You must go back with them." Tonks glanced at Lupine, kissed his cheek, and then turned to look at the others.
"Hurry up, George." She warned. At this time, a dazzling blue light appeared on the cup, and George hurriedly pressed his index finger on it.
As if there was an invisible hook behind the stomach that suddenly hooked forward, everyone's feet left the dirty floor and disappeared on the second floor of the Pig's Head Bar.
Kyle felt like the world was spinning for a while, and his fingers were tightly glued to the door key, but compared with the phoenix's disembodiment, this level could only be regarded as a merry-go-round in an amusement park.
A few seconds later, everyone's feet landed heavily on the ground, but no one fell down. Everyone landed smoothly.
Grimmauld Place number twelve has arrived.
Mrs. Weasley ran over excitedly and hugged Fred and George.
Chris also came, looking nervous. It wasn't until Kyle looked over that his expression became more relaxed.
Next to him were Mr. Weasley, Alastor, Kingsley and a man wearing a hood and cloak, who must have received the message.
There are many wizards living in Godric's Hollow. If such a big thing happened there, someone would definitely tell the Ministry of Magic.
But Kyle didn't look at them, but turned his attention to the person whose appearance he couldn't see clearly.
To be honest, this man was dressed like a Death Eater. The only difference was that there were some symbols made of gold thread on the black cloak.
When Kyle went to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation, this style of clothing was the work clothes of the Department of Mysteries. His mother Diana was wearing this kind of robe at that time.
But Kyle was sure that the person in front of him was definitely not Diana. Although he couldn't see her face, her height and body shape didn't match.
"This is the Unspoken Man." Chris seemed to see Kyle's confusion and took the initiative to explain: "Your mother is very worried about you, but for some reason, she can't leave the Department of Mysteries. Only her colleague, the Unspoken Man who is currently the only one who can contact the outside world, can come out to check on the situation."
"If that's the case..." Kyle nodded, and when he was about to say something, when he turned around, the silent man disappeared.
No sound was made, and no one knew how the other party disappeared, as if what they just saw was just a shadow.
"No need to make a fuss, they are always like this, mysterious." Chris said.
"What on earth is the Department of Mysteries busy with?" Kyle couldn't help but ask, "Can't you even come out?"
"I don't know." Chris shook his head and lowered his voice: "But I heard, just heard, that there are several doors in the Department of Mysteries. Whenever a major event occurs outside, such as a war, those doors will change. Very unstable."
"So what's in there?"
"I don't know." Chris blurted out: "No one knows except the silent man.
