Chapter 740 Going to Number 12 Grimmauld Place
The Yeqi carriage passed through the large clouds, speeding all the way, and soon left the village buildings below far behind.
Probably because they were familiar with the journey, the return journey was much faster than when they came, and soon they left the area where Devon was located.
"Do you want to go back to Hogwarts now?" Kyle suddenly asked as he approached London.
"What do you mean?" Kangna looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going to go back?"
"I have something to go to Diagon Alley." Kyle said.
"Go now?" Kang Na frowned.
"Yes, now." Kyle paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something.
If we return to Hogwarts first, we still have a long way to go, and it will be too late to go to Diagon Alley by then.
And now it happens to be near London, so I can just stop by.
But Kyle was not very comfortable letting Kang Na ride the carriage back to school alone.
After all, in the magical world, Thestral carriages are rare and considered the most top-notch means of transportation. Kyle is worried that it will be noticed by the increasingly rampant Death Eaters.
"If you have nothing else to do..." Kyle thought for a while and said, "How about coming with me? We can go to London for lunch on the way."
"Okay, of course." Kangna said with a smile, without any hesitation.
"Then it's settled."
Kyle came outside the carriage and whispered a few words to Ye Qi.
The Thestral, which was flying towards Hogwarts, suddenly turned around and flew towards London with the carriage.
"Wait a minute..." Kangna thought of something, "There are a lot of people in London. What if Muggles see the carriage?"
"Don't worry." Kyle said: "This is another benefit of the Thestral carriage. Muggles can't see this special magical creature, just like they can't see dementors. As for the carriage, it's even simpler. ”
Kyle took out his wand and tapped on the carriage. The surrounding area of the carriage was immediately blocked by a layer of something.
"The hiding spell is a bit rough, but this is London, it's enough."
The carriage passed through the gray clouds over London and reached its destination in less than half an hour.
In a square that looks a bit dated.
"Be prepared." Kyle said to Kangna: "This place is also protected by the Loyalty Curse."
Connor nodded slightly nervously.
When the carriage stopped, before the two of them could jump off, a cold voice came from outside.
"Who's here? Come out and don't get your wand."
The voice sounded familiar.
"Don't be nervous Charlie, it's me." Kyle put his hand out of the car first to show that he was not holding a wand before leaning out.
"Kyle?" Charlie said in surprise: "Why are you here?" He ran over quickly, but did not put away his wand.
"I should have thought of it earlier. This carriage looks like it belongs to Hogwarts. They haven't changed it in decades."
"Then you point your wand at us," Kyle said.
"No way, it's your responsibility, no matter what, you have to confirm it." Charlie said with a smile, "Then there is another question, where are you going."
"Number 12 Grimmauld Place." Kyle said, "This should make sure that I am not someone else using Polyjuice Potion to disguise myself."
"The Death Eaters don't know this address." Charlie and Kyle hugged.
At this time, Kangna also walked out of the car.
Charlie was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Kyle teasingly without saying anything.
"We just happened to be passing by." Kyle seemed to have not seen his expression and said to himself: "Are Fred and George here?"
"Just came back half an hour ago." Charlie nodded, but immediately he hesitated a little, pulled Kyle aside and asked in a low voice.
"It's not that I want to spoil the fun, Kyle, but this is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix after all. Does Principal Dumbledore know if you brought this girl here?"
"I haven't had time to tell him yet," Kyle said, "but I can guarantee that Connor is on our side."
Dumbledore agreed to allow Connor to go to Nico's manor, which actually showed his attitude. Even if Connor had not yet joined the Order of the Phoenix, she was qualified to know about it because of Snape's relationship.
"Well, I have no doubt about this." Charlie agreed with Kyle after only a slight hesitation.
"Follow me." He waved to Kangna and took the initiative to walk to the front.
"Mom would be very happy if she knew you were coming."
Then, in Kangna's shocked eyes, a house expanded out of thin air, squeezing out the houses with numbers 11 and 13 on both sides.
"Let's go, hurry up." Charlie said. He took the lead up the stone steps, pushed open the door, and shouted inside:
"Mom, look who's coming!"
"Keep your voice down, Charlie!" Mrs. Weasley walked out of a room, "Aren't you supposed to be on guard outside? Why did you suddenly come back? It's still a while before lunch time."
"No, mom, it's Kyle." Charlie explained.
"Kyle?" Mrs. Weasley was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked behind Charlie.
"Oh, Kyle, honey, this is such a surprise."
She walked over quickly, glanced at Charlie first, and immediately gave Kyle a hug after getting a positive answer.
"Why are you here at this time?" She said, "I asked Dumbledore before, and he said you had other things to do during the holidays and couldn't come here."
"That's right, we happened to pass by London on our way back to Hogwarts, so we thought of coming to see you." Kyle said.
"We?" Mrs. Weasley then noticed that there was a girl following Kyle.
How to say... For a moment, she was more excited than seeing Kyle.
"This... I guess you must be Connor, Kyle often mentions you."
"Yes." Connor turned her head and looked at Kyle who seemed to be indifferent, and then looked at Mrs. Weasley again, "Connor Prince."
"Welcome, dear." Mrs. Weasley came forward and hugged her, "I'm so glad that there are new people here."
"New people?" Connor was a little confused.
To be honest, she still didn't understand what was going on, and didn't know where she was.
The Weasley family? It shouldn't be. She remembered that the Weasley family, Kyle, and Cedric all lived in St. Catchpole Village.
As if she saw her doubt, Mrs. Weasley asked, "Dear, didn't Kyle tell you where this is?"
Connor shook her head.
Mrs. Weasley immediately glared at Kyle with dissatisfaction, but when she was about to explain, two excited voices came from behind her.
"Connor..."
"Why are you here!"
Fred and George ran over one after another, almost knocking Ron who came out to check the situation.
"You know her too?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Mom, we have known each other for six years." Fred said quickly, "And not only us, but also Dad, Charlie and Bill."
He was talking about the last Quidditch World Cup. Connor was with them at that time, but Mrs. Weasley did not go at that time, so she had never seen her.
"She is the Connor we talked about before." George said, "She is also one of our best friends..."
"But her relationship with Kyle is obviously better."
At this point, the two suddenly squeezed their eyes and showed a tacitly obscene smile.
It was really disgusting, even Mrs. Weasley couldn't stand it, twisting their ears and pushing them back into the room.
"Sorry, dear, please forget those two unclean things just now." Mrs. Weasley turned around calmly, "Where were we just talking about, oh, the Order of the Phoenix."
"The Order of the Phoenix?" Connor blinked.
"Yes, this is an organization founded by Dumbledore to fight against the Death Eaters, and this is the headquarters."
Mrs. Weasley said, "Okay, don't stand at the door, come with me, I made beef stew at noon, just wait a little longer and you can eat it.
"Charlie, you still go outside, Bill will come to you to take over at lunch."
"Okay, Mom."
Charlie, who was about to go in, could only say angrily, and walked out of the house again, closing the door by the way.
"This way, dear. "Mrs. Weasley took Connor and Kyle to the kitchen.
At this time, Kyle suddenly noticed several heads sticking out from the direction of the stairs.
From top to bottom, they were Harry, Hermione, Ginny... As for Ron, he was next to him.
"Why are you still here?" Kyle asked in surprise, "Today is the last day of the holiday, don't you have to take the train to school?"
The Hogwarts Express set off early in the morning. Normally, they shouldn't still be here.
"Originally, it was used." Harry explained, "But Mr. Weasley said that Professor Dumbledore specially arranged a one-time Floo network connection, and we only need one second to get back to school."
"I see, that's quite convenient." Kyle said.
"Yeah." Harry nodded, "But Kyle, why are you here too, and at this time."
"Didn't I just say it? I just happened to pass by. "Kyle said.
However, his words could fool Mrs. Weasley and Harry, but not Fred and George.
While Mrs. Weasley brought Connor into the restaurant, the two of them took action at the same time and dragged Kyle into another room.
"Tell the truth..."
"What are you going to do!"
Fred and George surrounded Kyle on the left and right.
"Don't say it's on the way..."
"Such a poor excuse can't fool us!"
"I didn't think so." Kyle shrugged, "I came here because I want to go to Knockturn Alley. Do you remember what I told you in the letter before?"
"Knockturn Alley?" Fred thought for a while, "You mean, let us watch Draco Malfoy?"
"That's right." Kyle said, "How about it, did he go to Knockturn Alley during the holidays? "
The Weasley brothers' shop is not far from the entrance of Knockturn Alley. Even in the shop, you can see the entrance through the window glass.
So when he wrote to the Weasley brothers before, he mentioned this matter by the way.
"We don't know either." George shook his head and said, "You know, the Ministry of Magic is very busy now, and we don't have time to watch in the store all the time."
"But we have handed this task to the house elves in the store." Fred said, "The elves always have an extraordinary enthusiasm for their work, and handing it over to them is the right choice."
"That makes sense." Kyle patted the two on the shoulders, "Then why am I still telling you all this."
After that, Kyle was ready to leave the room.
"Hey, wait!"
Fred quickly blocked the door and explained:
"We originally wanted to ask clearly in the afternoon and then write to you."
"I didn't expect you to come back suddenly."
"At least we have helped a little, just tell us what the plan is."
The two stared at Kyle and refused to let him leave the room.
They were so curious why Kyle suddenly wanted to stare at Draco Malfoy.
"Tell me quickly, are you going to attack the Malfoy family?" Fred asked, "If so, please take us with you."
"We have been thinking about this day for a long time, really!" George said with hope.
The conflict between the Weasleys and the Malfoys is almost known to everyone in the magic world. Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy even had a fight at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. At that time, this matter was posted in the Daily Prophet for several days.
A few years ago, because the platform was inexplicably closed, Ron had to drive a flying car to school... At that time, Lucius kept holding on to this matter and lobbied everywhere, causing Mr. Weasley to almost lose his job.
Of course, in addition to these, there are many other things. The struggle between the two families has continued to this day and has never stopped.
Now there is finally an opportunity to add insult to injury, and they certainly don't want to miss it.
Kyle naturally knows what they are thinking.
"Sorry, you think too much." Kyle said, "This time it's just because of Draco Malfoy alone."
"It doesn't matter, it's okay to be alone." Fred said, "Just tell us."
"Yeah." George nodded repeatedly, "You will go back to school soon, and you have to prepare for the N.E.W.T. exam. At that time, you will definitely not have much time to take care of things outside the school.
"Maybe we can help you."
Kyle hesitated for a while, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah."
"I want to!"
Both of them almost had afterimages in their heads.
"Okay. "Kyle said, "In fact, I found that Draco Malfoy was making a plan to let the Death Eaters enter Hogwarts."
The room fell into silence.
A second later.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Fred curled his lips, "Why make up such a story to deceive us."
"Besides, even if you make up a story, you should pay a little attention, okay." George said disdainfully, "A Malfoy... can let the Death Eaters enter Hogwarts?
"Even if you tell Ron such a thing, he won't believe it."
The two looked at Kyle again, very disappointed with his perfunctory attitude.
But Kyle acted very calm.
"A Malfoy can't do it...what if I help him?"
"What do you help him with?" George was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Will it be to help him transport the Death Eaters to Hogwarts?"
"Yes." Kyle said, "Is there any problem?"
The first thing Fred and George thought of was that Kyle was replaced by someone using Polyjuice Potion.
But soon they remembered that Charlie was guarding the door, and he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.
In addition, Kyle's look and tone just now did not seem to be joking at all.
In this way, it is probably true...
The two immediately became excited, and excitedly approached Kyle, pressed him on a stool, one pinched his shoulders, and the other pounded his legs, showing how attentive they were.
"Quick, tell me in detail..."
"We have long disliked Hogwarts. It actually banned our prank products from entering the school."
"This is simply destroying our dreams."
"It completely denies us!"
"We are irreconcilable with this school rule!"
The two were so passionate, as if as long as Kyle spoke, they would lead the Death Eaters to attack the school without hesitation to overthrow Dumbledore and create a brand new Hogwarts.
"You are so brave... Does Mrs. Weasley know?" Kyle asked in a flat tone.
"Of course not."
"Otherwise, Mom will kill us..." Fred shrugged.
"Okay, tell us your plan quickly."
"It's not my plan, it's Malfoy's." Kyle didn't hide it anymore and said directly: "He plans to use the Vanishing Cabinet to create a new secret passage in Hogwarts."
"Vanishing Cabinet?" Fred touched his chin, "You mean the kind of Vanishing Cabinet that can connect two different places together."
"Besides this, is there anything else that can artificially create a secret passage to the outside of the school?"
"Impossible." George frowned and said, "Didn't the Vanishing Cabinet disappear a long time ago?
"I've read a book about alchemy before, and it said that since someone used the Vanishing Cabinet to sneak into the International Wizarding Confederation sixty years ago and killed an important witness, this thing has been destroyed. "
"That's right." Fred said, "And the alchemists who were able to make the Vanishing Cabinet at that time were forced to sign a magic contract, vowing not to make it in the future, let alone pass on the production method. "
"Even the Malfoy family doesn't have the energy to get this kind of thing. "
"That's true." Kyle said, "But by chance, there is a missing vanishing cabinet in Hogwarts."
"Did Malfoy find it?" Fred's expression became serious. "No, I have to tell my dad."
"Don't worry." This time it was Kyle's turn to stop him, "Malfoy didn't find it, I found it."
Fred and George stopped.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Kyle continued, "But I have given it to Malfoy."
