"I didn't mean it, I really forgot." Harry quickly explained: "You know, something even more unbelievable happened that day. If Alastor hadn't mentioned this just now, I might have thought I can’t get up.”
What Harry was talking about was the scene where Kyle rushed into the tower and directly washed the ground with fire. At that time, he was protected by Dumbledore and saw with his own eyes that the entire tower was filled with raging fire. It was like the end of the world. The horrific sight made him forget everything else.
It was also because of this incident that when Kingsley said that Kyle had killed seventy Death Eaters by himself, he had no doubts at all and almost subconsciously believed it.
After hearing his explanation, Ron nodded and reluctantly believed it.
"Hey, Malfoy...it's just as I guessed." Moody snorted, "But he probably won't go to Hogwarts this year."
"That's great." Harry couldn't help but laugh.
Hogwarts without Malfoy...it was like a dream.
"If you ask me to say, Dumbledore is too kind." Hagrid said gruffly, "The Malfoys are all evil, but Dumbledore still thinks that he is deceived. He is just like that Lucius." , is evil at heart.”
"Don't say that, Hagrid." Mr. Weasley waved his hand, "Dumbledore must have his own considerations. We just need to trust him."
Hagrid didn't say anything. He took a bottle of brandy, uncorked it and drank it in one gulp.
"In short..." Moody continued: "Although last year's culprit has left the school, none of us can guarantee whether there is still such a person among the students, and whether the target will be changed to Harry this year.
"For safety reasons, it is best for someone to stay in Hogsmeade for a long time after Hogwarts starts school.
"Protecting Harry is one thing, and at the same time, it can provide quick support when special situations arise."
"No problem, I agree."
"I agree……"
"So much the better."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although Harry really didn't want everyone to do extra things for him, he also knew that what he said didn't count and he could only sit there and listen silently.
Moody glanced around the crowd and said, "Mundungus, you go..."
"Alastor," Sirius said suddenly, interrupting him.
"Leave this to me."
"You?" Moody frowned and hesitated.
Of course he believed that Sirius would be able to get things done, but the problem was that ability was only secondary. What they needed was concealment.
Whether it was to protect Harry or anything else, once he was discovered, the effect would be greatly reduced... because no Death Eater would be stupid enough to attack Harry in front of the protection personnel.
When it comes to hiding oneself, besides Nymphadora Tonks, Mundungus is more suitable.
"It's best to change to someone else," Moody said, "Your face is so recognizable that almost all Death Eaters recognize you and know that you are Harry's godfather.
"On the surface, Dumbledore and the professors are enough for protection. There is no need to add more people."
"I can drink Polyjuice Potion," said Sirius. "And more importantly, I have property in Hogsmeade and can stay there legitimately."
"industry?"
"The Shrieking Shack," Sirius said with a smile, "Remus and I bought it and it's ours now."
"No, it's you and Kyle." Lupine corrected: "I don't have that much money. Kyle lent me the money. I need to pay it back first."
As soon as he mentioned this, Sirius's face turned not so good. He still couldn't figure out why Lupine would rather pay interest and borrow money from Kyle, who had not graduated yet, rather than talk to him. What's going on? He could obviously give it to Lu Ping.
Chris also reacted greatly.
He knew that Kyle had made some money in the past few years, but he didn't know how much, and he never asked.
Why did he already have his own industry just after graduation?
Or in Hogsmeade?
As far as he knew, the prices there were not cheap.
As the only wizard-only village in the UK, Hogsmeade has always had a reputation, so even the price of the Shrieking Shack, which has been abandoned for a long time, cannot be lower than three thousand galleons.
Even if Sirius's half is removed, fifteen hundred galleons is his salary for most of the year. Can Kyle and the others earn so much from the small businesses they do in school?
Oh, by the way, the Triwizard Tournament.
Chris suddenly remembered that the prize for winning the Triwizard Tournament seemed to be a thousand galleons, which made it much more reasonable.

Chapter 795 Fox’s Perch
The discussion lasted until late at night.
Originally, the best candidate to go to Hogsmeade was Nymphadora Tonks. As a disguise magus, she could easily fool everyone's eyes and hide herself perfectly.
Mundungus is also good. He often does gray business. He is proficient in various disguise methods and can hide himself well.
But under Sirius's insistence, everyone finally agreed that he would carry out the task of protecting Harry.
But the only requirement is that he must ensure that he always drinks polyjuice potion and always maintains a different appearance in front of outsiders.
Sirius agreed.
It wasn't difficult. There was a Muggle village ten miles away from Hogsmeade. Then he would just have to wait until night passed and find a Muggle with thick hair.
Harry was also very happy about this decision.
Compared to the other two people, he obviously still prefers to be with his godfather. Although they usually have to pretend not to know each other, it is always good to be close.
After that, those people who had rushed back from the Ministry of Magic stood up and prepared to leave.
Mainly because Kingsley received the news from Scrimgeour through Auror's special means. Godric's Hollow was short of manpower and they needed to rush there overnight.
Others need to help, too.
Kyle wanted to take this opportunity to go back to St. Catchpol Village. Calculating the time, it seemed that he had not gone back to live for a long time, and when he passed by the door of his house just now, he quite missed the old dog. Cat nives.
But as soon as Kyle followed Chris to the door, before he could get out, he was pushed back.
"You've been living here lately, too." Chris turned his head and said.
"Why?" Kyle didn't understand. "I have to go to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow. It should be more convenient to go home."
"This is safer than St. Catchpol Village." Chris glanced at him.
Others didn't know what was going on, but he knew exactly what was in Kyle's box.
Fire dragons, poisonous leopards, cat leopards, basilisks, three-headed dogs... Even among the 5X level magical animals, these are considered the most troublesome ones.
Even every time he thought about Kyle running around with that dangerous box, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of heart palpitations.
In terms of quantity, Kyle's box is definitely not as good as Newt's, but in terms of quality and risk factor, both are equally deadly.
So Chris knew very well that as long as they were used properly, those magical animals were enough to help him deal with a large number of Death Eaters in a short time.
Not to mention anything else, just the basilisk is enough.
The basilisk is an artificially created species. Strictly speaking, it is not a magical animal. Instead, it is one of the most popular creations of black magic thousands of years ago. And the purpose for which it was originally created was to kill.
The eyes of the basilisk are two embodied killing curses. There is no need to recite a spell or wave a wand, just look at each other, simple and crude.
Coupled with scales comparable to the skin of a fire dragon, the basilisk can ignore most magical attacks and run rampant on the battlefield.
In front of this kind of creature, unless they are powerful wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort, it will be useless no matter how many people come.
Of course, he didn't say this out loud. Even though he also trusted others, he still chose to keep it secret.
"Did you let it out?" Chris asked quietly while Kingsley and Moody were talking.
"Yes." Kyle naturally knew what Chris was talking about, and he didn't hide it and admitted it directly.
"That's the reason." Chris shook his head and said:
“I don’t know what you have done, but one thing is certain, your actions have angered the mysterious man. Under this circumstance, Saint Catchpole Village is no longer so safe.
"In order to prevent him from taking revenge on you, it is safer to live here."
"Yes, you can live here." Mrs. Weasley also came over and said.
She didn't understand what Chris meant, but she understood the last sentence. When it comes to safety, there is no place like here.
As the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore didn't know how many protective spells he had added here. The Fidelity Charm was just the most basic one, as well as anti-tracking spells, indestructible spells, fixed door keys, etc. She knew of seven types alone. .
It can be said that even if Voldemort now knows the location of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and comes here in person, it will take him a long time to break through the protection here.
To some extent, the security here is even better than Hogwarts without Dumbledore.
Of course she wanted Kyle to live here.
"Then... okay." Kyle glanced at Chris, who had a calm expression, "Then I'll stay here."
"Yeah." Chris nodded, "Also, don't go to the Ministry of Magic for the time being. Hide here for a while first. I'll help you with Amelia's side."
"Okay." Kyle nodded again.
It seems that Chris should have been thinking about this just now.
Although Kyle didn't really want to stay in the house all the time, he used the basilisk to kill dozens of Death Eaters. This kind of casualties was rare even in wartime.
Kingsley and the others had to go back to work overtime in the middle of the night for this reason.
So Kyle thought that in order not to irritate Chris' nerves, it would be better for him to do so.
Seeing Kyle agree, Chris breathed a long sigh of relief and glared at Kyle angrily.
In fact, he didn't want Kyle to develop that kind of bloodthirsty habit. Thinking about it carefully, every Death Eater who met Kyle in the past few years almost always left a few lives behind.
It started out because of the Triwizard Tournament, when Kyle used the Fire Curse to kill a Death Eater for the first time, and then killed two more when he and Cedric were cleaning out Dementors.
There are also the Death Eaters in the Hogwarts Tower some time ago, the werewolves in the Black Forest, and all the way to Godric's Hollow... It can be said that when the Death Eaters encountered Dumbledore, their survival rate was higher than that of the werewolves who met Dumbledore. Kyle wants to be taller.
Chris is worried that if this continues, Kyle will be eroded by the negative emotions caused by the killing and eventually become a dark wizard like Voldemort.
But he couldn't say anything.
Because even though he had killed so many Death Eaters, Kyle's magic was still spotless. This situation also made his previous idea untenable.
This made Chris a little embarrassed. He looked at Kyle, shook his head helplessly, and then followed Kingsley and the others out of the square.
In the house, Ron was having a small celebration with the Weasley brothers, and they had finished setting off the remaining ribbons and crackers from the wedding in the dining room.
