"Otherwise," Kyle said, "do you think Bones is going to let me keep getting paid for nothing?"
"Of course, for various reasons, I didn't really resign. She kept my position and office, and I could always go back if I wanted."
"But..." Before the two of them spoke, Kyle continued: "This period of time is definitely impossible. I need to hide from the mysterious person, so I can only stay here."
"Really?" George looked at Kyle suspiciously.
If that was the case, there was really no need for him to do this for the Ministry of Magic.
"How about you stay and see if I will go to work tomorrow."
The two didn't speak, they just gathered together to whisper and discuss something.
After a few minutes, Fred raised his head and said, "If we go to help Cedric, will you lend us the gold cup?"
"Don't say that, it makes it seem like I have some purpose." Kyle said, "I just want him to be able to eat at any time, so as not to be like Hermione, who almost fainted from hunger outside."
"Of course, if you must go, that's fine. If he has time to rest, he won't need the gold cup. It doesn't matter if he lends it to you then."
"Okay, let's go to the Ministry of Magic." George stepped forward and said, "Lend us the gold cup."
"Don't force it." Kyle said with a smile, "School is about to start, and your business is probably very busy. Cedric, I'll think of another way."
With that said, he made a gesture to put away the golden cup.
"Not forcing it, not forcing it at all." Fred immediately smiled, "Oh, we were all joking with you before."
"Yes, since Cedric is in trouble, how could we, friends, not help?"
"Actually, even if you don't tell us, we are going to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow."
"But don't you like the work of the Ministry of Magic?" Kyle asked.
"Even if we don't like it anymore, for the sake of our friends... we can overcome it." George said with a forced smile.
"Then over there in Diagon Alley..."
"Maybe you don't know yet, but this time the school will use owl mail to buy things needed for the start of the school year. Then they can go directly to Hogwarts, and there is no need to make an extra trip to Diagon Alley.
"Children from Muggle families who are enrolled in school will also be transferred to Gringotts by their professors to exchange for Galleons."
"I don't think the professors will put our store name on the admission notice."
"So we can't participate in the excitement before school starts."
"How is that possible?" Kyle frowned.
"It's true." George explained: "Ron has been notified."
"And this is not the first time this has happened."
"I heard Bill say that Hogwarts did this before the mysterious man fell. The purpose was to prevent Death Eaters from attacking the new students frantically."
"In addition, there will be more than three professors escorting the train."
"If that's the case..." Kyle handed them the gold cup, "then there is really no need to open your shop."
As the store that appears most frequently on the banned list of school regulations, it is certainly impossible for professors to purchase their items.
"It's so hurtful for you to say that."
"Although it's true."
The two of them wiped their hands and took the golden cup handed over by Kyle very solemnly.
But the next second, they showed another face.
"Hahaha, finally got it!"
"I didn't expect it, it's too late for you to regret it now!"
"What, you want to regret it?" Kyle looked at them meaningfully.
"It's not a matter of regret. Since we agreed, we will definitely help Cedric." George said, "But if we find out that you are lying to us, there is no guarantee when the gold cup will be returned to you."
"It doesn't matter, it's up to you." Kyle said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.
As if they were afraid that Kyle would regret it, the two couldn't wait to leave after receiving the gold cup.
After the door closed again, Kyle also had a smile on his lips.
In any case, the two strong men were finally fooled.
As for the problem of the golden cup... he really wasn't worried. It was too simple. Not to mention it was a piece of cake, and it was easy to grasp.
Let's put it this way, even if he wants the gold cup back tomorrow, as long as he goes to complain to Mrs. Weasley, they will have to spit it out.
But they themselves never realized this.

Chapter 800 Ron is affected
"Kyle, if we believe you again in the future, it will be a swallow-tailed dog...
"It's the Pherobian Caterpillar!"
"It's a Philobub caterpillar that was stepped on by a swallow-tailed dog!"
At the dinner table, Fred and George looked at Kyle with eyes that were almost on fire.
They regretted why they believed what Kyle said.
Last night, Kyle used the Hufflepuff Gold Cup as a bargaining chip to trick them into rejoining the Ministry of Magic. They couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
After all, it was something left by the Big Four at Hogwarts, and no one who liked alchemy could refuse it.
Although they also dislike working in the Ministry of Magic, because Kyle said that the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is different from the Muggle Mediation Committee. There are many people there and it will not be particularly busy.
So they gritted their teeth and decided to lower their bottom line a little.
But what people didn't expect was that after they arrived at the Ministry of Magic, they discovered that things were completely different from what Kyle said.
There are indeed many people in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, but there are also many departments. Beasts, aliens, ghosts, goblins, centaurs, werewolves, house elves... It can be said that as long as they are not human, they are all managed here. There are almost a dozen large and small offices in total.
If divided in this way, each office can only be assigned two or three people, no different from Hermione.
They even came back half an hour later than Hermione today.
If it weren't for the sake of the gold cup, they would all want to hang Kyle from the roof.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Weasley walked out of the kitchen carrying freshly baked bread and asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle said, "It's just that I found a new job for them. The task is to deal with the trouble left by some Death Eaters."
"Is it dangerous?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Not at all." Kyle shook his head and said, "It's very safe. You don't have to face Death Eaters, and you don't have to stay in eye-catching places like the Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley. You just need to walk around and interact with small animals every day. Just deal with it.”
"It is not good?"
"But they didn't seem to like it," Kyle said with a shrug.
"What else are you dissatisfied with?" Mrs. Weasley turned to look at Fred and George and couldn't help raising her voice. "It's time for you to share some responsibilities instead of thinking about those magic tricks all day long..."
"Mom, we didn't."
"It's not what Kyle said!"
The two wanted to explain, but for a moment they didn't know what to say?
Yes, they really don't have to stay at the Ministry of Magic all the time, because they don't have this time at all. They have to run out to go to work and can't come back until evening.
As for another question...whose 'little animal' has three heads and seven legs? Is it a small animal? That's a monster!
Seeing that they had been mumbling for a long time without saying anything complete, Mrs. Weasley became even more angry.
"Hermione knows that now is the time when we need help. Why aren't you willing? Don't be lazy. If I know that you gave up halfway, I will definitely twist your ears off."
Mrs. Weasley angrily scolded Fred and George. The two of them did not dare to speak anymore. They just sat there with their heads lowered. From time to time, they raised their eyelids and glared at Kyle fiercely, threatening with their eyes. he.
But does Kyle care? He couldn't care less.
Anyway, the Weasley brothers are not basilisks. Their eyes can't kill you, so just look at them if you want.
"Oh, by the way Kyle..." Suddenly, Mrs. Weasley turned her gaze again, "If there is no danger, can you ask Ron to help too? As an adult wizard, he cannot continue So lazy.
"Everyone is busy today, and he actually played wizard chess all day long."
At the dinner table, Ron, who was eating late-night snacks and watching the excitement, was suddenly stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Mrs. Weasley suddenly involved him.
"Ah, of course, no problem."
Before he could react, Kyle immediately smiled and said: "Let me think about it... Well, Ron is a bit young, so just run away. How about giving him a job in the office?" , right in my dad’s office.
"Of course, if he wants to go to Mr. Weasley, that's fine, but it's a bit troublesome. You know, I've already resigned, and my words are not as effective as before."
"It doesn't matter, Chris's office is very good, and I don't want him to be with Arthur, lest Arthur help him be lazy." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, "But are you sure he is fine? After all, Ron has done it before Never worked at the Ministry of Magic."
"It doesn't matter, he can definitely do it." Kyle waved his hand. "The work is very easy. I just sort out the documents and copy some information. I can get started quickly."
"That's great," said Mrs. Weasley.
Ron next to him realized that after just one meal, his subsequent vacation had been arranged?
Thinking of Hermione's sluggish appearance in the past two days, and Fred George's complaint just now, Ron could say that he was unwilling to do so.
He didn't want to go to the Ministry of Magic, he just wanted to stay at home, chat with Harry and play wizard chess to pass the time.
"Mom, I'm not going to the Ministry of Magic." Ron said immediately: "I still have to accompany Harry. He is too lonely alone."
"He is not alone." Mrs. Weasley said without looking back: "And there are Ginny and Kyle at home."
Ron's expression froze and he turned to look at Harry.
But Harry just lowered his head and gnawed on the bread, and did not receive his request for help.
However, from Kyle's point of view, Harry's appearance was somewhat concealed. He didn't seem to be very opposed to this decision, or that he didn't necessarily need Ron to accompany him.
Kyle was certain that the reason was not him, because he and Harry really had nothing to talk about...unless he wanted to learn Occlumency again.
"I, I still have to do my homework." Without the support of his friends, Ron thought of another excuse, "By the way, I haven't finished my homework yet. If I go to the Ministry of Magic, I won't have time to do it. "
"It's been such a long time since the holiday, and you haven't done your homework yet?" Mrs. Weasley looked at Ron in disbelief, "Then why are you still playing with wizard chess today?"
"I...I'm going to write it tomorrow." Ron hesitated, "I will definitely write it tomorrow."
