Chapter 605: Finding Helpers
After getting Sirius's assurance, Harry and the other two were overjoyed and looked forward to the early start of school.
On the other hand, Kyle did not return to St. Catchpole Village. Whether it was homework or anything else, it was almost all in his box and he always carried it with him.
Even if there were a few books that he didn't take, he could ask the owl to send them back later, so he didn't need to go home at all.
The reason for leaving No. 12 Grimmauld Place in advance was for another reason.
After the Apparition was over, Kyle had already appeared in a lush forest.
On the pine tree on the left, a colorful stork was tilting its head and looking at him.
"Long time no see, Buddy." Kyle greeted familiarly, and the stork chirped in response.
At this time, a house elf dressed in a weird way suddenly appeared not far ahead.
He was wearing a vine-woven thing that looked like armor, and underneath was a pair of very long rubber boots.
After seeing Kyle's appearance, the original alertness on his face quickly turned into surprise.
"Oh, Mr. Kyle, is it really you?"
"It's me, Dobby." Kyle said, "How are you recently."
"Thanks to Mr. Kyle." The house elf said excitedly: "Dobby likes it here very much. It's really great to be able to work here!"
"That's good." Kyle smiled, "Is Newt at home?"
"Yes." Dobby nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Scamander is taking care of the newly born invisible beast... Oh, Dobby has to go back and help quickly."
As he said, he turned around and hurriedly ran deep into the forest.
Kyle followed him, and after turning a corner in front, a wooden house appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The door of the wooden house was open, and a white-haired witch was standing there.
"I just heard Dobby calling your name." Tina said with a smile, "Come in, I just baked some cookies."
Dobby couldn't help but curl his lips.
Even now, Dobby still couldn't accept Tina's request not to let him get close to the kitchen.
This is too much torture for a house elf... Fortunately, he still has more things to do.
As soon as he entered the house, Dobby couldn't wait to run into the innermost room.
Not long after, Newt came out.
"Hogwarts will start tomorrow."
At the same time, Tina just brought a plate of grapefruit cookies and placed it in front of Kyle, "I thought you wouldn't come here this year."
"A lot of things happened during this holiday." Kyle said.
He didn't hide it either, and told him everything about his encounter with Voldemort and the sudden interrogation by the Ministry of Magic.
The smile on Tina's face gradually disappeared, and she became more and more serious.
As an old Auror, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Kyle's approach. Facing the evil Death Eaters, he must do everything possible to protect himself.
Not to mention the Fiery Curse, even the Killing Curse is not a bad idea.
But Tina didn't expect the Death Eaters to go to the Ministry of Magic to complain. At least she had never encountered such a thing in her career.
"Luckily, there is Diana." She said with some relief.
"Yeah." Kyle nodded. If the spell didn't work before the flashback, it would not be so easy for him to pass this level.
Newt beside him also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Kyle had met Voldemort, but he was unaware of the subsequent interrogation.
"You don't have to worry." Tina glanced at Kyle and said, "If you meet Death Eaters again, you can still do this. Whether it's the Fiery Curse or something else, just use it. The most important thing is to save your life.
"As for whether you will be questioned by the Ministry of Magic later, don't worry. If they want to investigate, I can send you to Ilvermorny. The British Ministry of Magic can't control it. "
"Hey, you should believe Dumbledore. " Newt whispered, "He will definitely not watch Kyle being convicted. "
"It's better this way. "Tina said unhappily.
She knew that Newt trusted Dumbledore unconditionally, but that didn't mean Dumbledore could do everything.
Sometimes, you still have to be prepared for something else.
Newt naturally knew what Tina was thinking, so he didn't argue.
After eating the biscuits, Newt prepared to go back to the box. The cub of the invisible beast still needed some time to adapt to the environment. Although Dobby helped, he was still a little worried.
Kyle followed him.
"I heard Dumbledore mention that the man was resurrected."
After coming to the box, Newt took a blanket from the shelf and said, "I said I could help, but Dumbledore refused. He only asked me to write to a few friends and invite them to come to England."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, we can handle it. "Kyle said.
He agreed with Dumbledore's decision. Newt was indeed a very powerful helper, but he was almost a hundred years old and there was no need for him to be involved in this matter.
Another and most important point was that there were too many uncertainties about Newt... If it was Paris, it wouldn't matter, but this was Britain after all, his own territory. It would be better not to let him run around unless it was absolutely necessary.
The two of them passed through the woods and a lake and soon came to the nest of the invisible beast.
Dobby was squatting there, teasing the newly born invisible beast with a wooden stick tied with a rattan ball.
The fur on the little guy's body is close to a gray-brown color, and the invisibility effect is not very good. It flickers and looks like a little wizard who has just learned the transformation spell and is not yet proficient in using it.
Only when they grow older and turn silvery white can they hide themselves better, so now is the time when invisible beasts are most vulnerable.
Hearing the footsteps, Dobby immediately turned his head and greeted the two of them.
"Mr. Scamander, I feel that its invisibility effect is much better than before."
"That's right." Newt said with a smile, "Invisible beast cubs learn very quickly, and they can barely be discovered by natural enemies two days after they are born. Of course, it will take another month to completely turn silvery white. "
"Mr. Scamander, Dobby will definitely be able to take good care of it." Dobby patted his chest and said.
"I have no doubt about this." Newt said with a smile, "But you'd better not stay here all the time, as this will make them lose their due vigilance and make the adult invisible beasts feel uneasy.
"You'd better hide in a more secluded place, like... there." Newt pointed to a place with lush shrubs.
Although he didn't quite understand, Dobby still nodded, ran over quickly, and hid himself in the bushes, leaving only one big ear exposed.
After that, the two went to other places.
Kyle finally made the trip, so Newt naturally didn't miss this opportunity and took him to see many magical animals that were behaving strangely or having a temper tantrum.
Kyle also played a guest role as a magical animal psychologist again, helping to find out the reason.
It wasn't until dusk that they came out of the Moon Chi Beast's cave.
A moon-crazy beast was ostracized by the tribe because of non-standard dancing movements.
How about saying that Newt's box is magical? You can even see the Moon-Crazy Beast here, which is really a great experience.
Newt had been teaching each other how to dance all afternoon, and it didn't end until now.
"Want to go back for dinner?" Newt looked at the time and asked, "Or do you want to go somewhere else?"
"I'm not hungry just yet," Kyle said with a smile.
Newt nodded, seeming to understand something, "Tell me where you want to go.
"But I have to remind you, Dumbledore will not let some magical animals into the castle, such as the poison leopard."
Kyle's mouth that he just opened closed again instantly.
He did come to Newt for help this time. Diana was right. Sometimes, the Fire Curse was not the only option to deal with Death Eaters.
So he thought of another way...find help.
The poisonous leopard was one of his original goals, but before he could say anything, Newt directly refused.
"Now is not a special period." Kyle whispered: "And I am confident that I can restrain it."
"This..." Newt hesitated.
Just like Kyle said, Death Eaters have already taken action against him, and no one can guarantee whether there will be a second time.
And this time the Death Eaters used another trick... They complained to the Ministry of Magic. This time their trick didn't succeed, but what if it happened again? They couldn't really let Kyle run away to Ilvermorny to hide, right? .
"The Poison Leopard does not distinguish between friend and foe." Newt said softly: "Once it attacks, everyone around it will be affected, and it may accidentally injure one of its own."
"I'll keep an eye out," Kyle said.
Newt was silent, and after a long time he said, "Is there only the Poison Leopard?"
"Oh, there's another one." Kyle leaned over and whispered something.
After hearing this, Newt immediately widened his eyes, shook his head and said:
"No, I can lend you the poisonous leopard, but this one is definitely not allowed. It is too dangerous. Dumbledore will definitely not allow you to take it to the castle..."
"That was before, but things are different now."
Kyle said, “The castle itself is no longer safe, and it can even be said to be in an unprecedented crisis.
"Besides, it is a member of Hogwarts itself and has the responsibility to contribute to the protection of the school."
"Even if you say so." Newt still shook his head, "Well, I will write a letter to Dumbledore. If he agrees, then it will be no problem."
"No need." Kyle whispered, "And that's mine."
He didn't want Dumbledore to know about this, otherwise, he would most likely not agree.
"This is necessary," Newt said, "and you were wrong about one thing. It can only be handed over to you after you graduate."
"Okay." Kyle looked around, then changed the subject and said, "How about we go see the Poison Leopard first. The little guy must have grown up."
"Although I'm not an adult, I've definitely grown up a lot."
