"No, you go to the Ministry of Magic." Mrs. Weasley said firmly, as if she had made up her mind.
"Don't make excuses. I know very well that you won't remember that you still have homework until school starts. If that's the case, then do something more meaningful.
"It's only three days before school starts. It should be enough for you to make up for your homework."
"But……"
"Ok, deal!"
Before Ron could say anything else, Mrs. Weasley said directly: "Tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Magic with us. Fred, George, you watch him."
"Okay, Mom!"
"no problem."
"Leave it to us!"
Fred and George, who were still looking grim at first, suddenly became cheerful and smiling.
Although the tedious work makes people unhappy, it would be fun if their younger brother also participated.
After a day's work, they knew very well how busy the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures was, and the more things they had to do, the tidying up of the office would only become more tedious, and Ron's subsequent holidays would definitely be fulfilling.
When they thought of this, they couldn't help but smile with relief.
This is all for Ron's good.
……
After the late-night snack, Kyle, who was very self-aware, stood up before Mrs. Weasley left the restaurant and quickly returned to the room upstairs.
Then he took out his wand and cast the earthquake-proofing charm and the sound-proofing charm on the door in sequence. Then he nodded with satisfaction and sat down at the table.
Now that Fred and George have other jobs, they probably don't have time to research communication items suitable for Aurors, so this matter still has to fall on him.
Fortunately, this is not a big deal.
What Fred said before was right. There is no such thing as safe in the wizarding world. Traitors, Legilimency, Polyjuice Potion...all of these can make confidentiality measures a joke.
So we still have to work hard on concealment. As long as we know the direction, the rest will be much easier.
Kyle took out a button and began to carve magic words on it.
At the same time, there were several people outside who kept beating on his door with increasing force.
The oak door banged loudly, as if someone was playing crackle cards in the corridor, but the room was so quiet that there was no movement at all.
"No."
Fred rubbed his sore palms, "That bastard must have used magic on the door. It's useless for us to do this."
"What should we do, just forget it?" George said reluctantly.
Then he took out his wand and pointed it at the door lock.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
There was no movement.
Of course, this was to be expected. Since Kyle could expect them to come back and knock on the door and used magic to block the sound in advance, how could he not think of the unlocking spell.
"Forget it? How is that possible!" Fred knocked on the door again and said viciously: "He's lucky this time, but this place is so big. He can't always hide from us. One day we can catch him. his."
"That's right." George nodded.
"Then what should we do now?" Ron asked from the side.
He saw Fred and George coming, so he followed them. After all, in a sense, it was Kyle's credit for him being asked to go to the Ministry of Magic.
"What else can we do? Go back to bed!" Fred said angrily, "I have to get up early to go to work at the Ministry of Magic tomorrow."
"I advise you to get up early so that you have time to have breakfast."
"If you omit this step, you will regret it."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards their rooms, leaving only a very bleak figure behind.
"What do they mean?" Ron asked with a trembling voice.
To be honest, he had already regretted it from the beginning. He shouldn't have gone for a late-night snack. If he hadn't appeared in the restaurant, maybe Mrs. Weasley wouldn't have thought of him at all, and she wouldn't have let him go to the Ministry of Magic. .
"I don't know either," said Harry, who came with him.
"Why didn't you help me just now?" Ron complained: "If you insisted on letting me stay with you, maybe mother wouldn't let me go to the Ministry of Magic."
"I didn't pay attention." Harry's eyes flickered, "And to be honest, I'm not that fragile and I have to be alone.
"Besides, I actually want to make a change with you. I'm willing to do something. Even if I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't let me stay here all the time."
"No one will agree." At this time, Hermione also came up from downstairs and said seriously: "Your safety is more important than anything else now."
"I know, but I always think people are a little too nervous."
"No, this is necessary." Hermione said, and then she looked at Ron again.
"What Harry just said is right. He doesn't need anyone to accompany him. Besides, you can't stay in Hogwarts forever."
"Of course I know," Ron muttered, "That's why I want to relax for another year."
"Ha." Hermione laughed and didn't argue with him anymore, "What they said just now is right. You'd better sleep well. If you miss breakfast tomorrow, you will definitely regret it."
Hermione then yawned and returned to her room.
"Why do they all say that?" Ron sighed, "But I'm not sleepy at all now."
After the two of them left, the corridor fell into silence again.
But Kyle didn't know what was happening outside. The magic he arranged in advance worked very well, and no sound from outside came in at all.
As for Fred and George's plan to catch Kyle later, they failed.
They leave early and come back late every day, and the timing is so good that Kyle can successfully avoid them as long as he returns to the room before ten o'clock.
Until mid-August they saw each other only at breakfast.
On the 25th, Kyle went to the Ministry of Magic again, but this time he did not choose to let Fox take him there. Instead, he left No. 12 Grimmauld Place with several people from the Weasley family. He came outside for the first time in half a month.
This was an experiment, he couldn't stay here forever hiding from Voldemort, he would always have to get out.
The streets were very lively, with Muggles walking around talking and laughing, and there was no sign of any tension.
Mr. Weasley was driving a car down the road.
"I would say it would be better for you to stay for a while longer." He said nervously, "At least until Hogwarts starts."
"It doesn't matter. If the mysterious man is determined to deal with me, it will be the same at any time." Kyle said.
There were only two of them here. Fred and the others originally wanted to go together. This is how they usually go to the Ministry of Magic.
But for safety's sake, Mr. Weasley insisted that they go to work with Lupine and Tonks.
"I heard that there has been no news about Death Eaters recently?" Kyle asked.
"It can't be said that there are none, it's just that there are fewer, not as frequent as before." Mr. Weasley said, "It must be after Godric's Hollow that they were also hit hard and had to recuperate."
"Maybe it's just the mysterious man who needs training." Kyle whispered: "He doesn't care about the life and death of the Death Eaters."
"But there are too few people under his command, and it is inconvenient for him to do many things." The car turned a corner at the intersection, "But this is also a good thing. Hogwarts will start school soon. After sending the students to school, we You can deal with them more attentively.”
"You're right."
The car sped along and arrived at the Ministry of Magic earlier than usual.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and they did not encounter any Death Eaters.
"Don't take it lightly, the next step is the most troublesome." Mr. Weasley led Kyle into the hall of the Ministry of Magic. "Although I don't know who it is, there must be Death Eater traitors in the Ministry of Magic, and there are so many of them." No less."
"I know."
When the two came to the magic fountain, Kyle also noticed that more and more eyes began to focus on him.
But this doesn't mean anything. He also worked here before. It's completely normal for everyone to meet acquaintances, take a look and say hello or something.
And just by looking at him, Kyle couldn't tell who had other thoughts.
"Where are you going?" Mr. Weasley asked as the two entered the lift.
"First floor." Kyle took out a box, "I promised Minister Bones half a month ago, and I finally did it today."
"I know, it's a communication item used by Aurors, right." Mr. Weasley said, "The kind of communication parchment you provided is already popular in the Ministry.
"I have to say, it's really convenient. At least you don't have to worry about a paper airplane suddenly getting stuck in your hair when riding the elevator."
"The parchment is just a prototype." Kyle said with a smile, "Actually, I'm going to improve it and make it look like a phone."
"That's great!"
Mr. Weasley's eyes seemed to turn into lights, bright and dazzling, "If you need help, just come to me."

Chapter 801: Inventing something in the magic world
Ministry of Magic, first floor, Minister's office.
Kyle knocked on the door and Bones' voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Compared to when Fudge was there, the minister's office had become much simpler. The gorgeous and exquisitely crafted mountain pear wood desk was gone, replaced by a very ordinary table.
The material and shape are the same as those used in other offices, the only difference is that it is much larger.
There is no way around this. If the desk is small, it may not be able to accommodate all those piles of documents and materials.
Hearing the footsteps, Bones subconsciously raised his head.
"Kyle? I didn't expect it to be you," she said. "Why, are you ready to get back to work?"
"It may take a while." Kyle said, "This is why I came here."
As he spoke, he placed a button, a galleon, and a Sickle on the table.
"what is this?"
