Chapter 825 Familiar People, Percy Returns

The Silent People, a profession that should be serious and earnest just by hearing the name. In Kyle's opinion, they should be the kind of people who are meticulous and would rather do things than talk.

For example, Diana was much more strict when she was in the Department of Mysteries than at home.

But looking at the girl in front of him, Kyle always felt that she was laughing at him... It was as if he saw Fred and George doing something stupid and not only did he not help, but he was gloating over their misfortune.

He rubbed his forehead.

How should I put it? This silent person is a little too lively and not as serious as I imagined.

But Kyle didn't care about whether it was serious or not. He took two steps forward and said, "I have something to ask..."

"can."

Before he finished speaking, the Silent Man nodded.

"What?" Kyle was stunned.

"Didn't you come here to ask me to help pass a message? To Diana." said the Silent Man.

"You know?" Kyle asked doubtfully, "Did you hear our previous conversation?"

"No, and there is no need." The Silent Man shook his head. "Normally, you should be in Hogwarts at this time, but now you are in the Department of Mysteries. Do you have any other purpose besides looking for Diana?"

"It seems so... Wait, how do you know I'm in Hogwarts?" Kyle blurted out, but immediately shut his mouth.

He pretended to be Dumbledore in school, and this must not be known to anyone else, so the fact that he had been to Hogwarts was kept strictly confidential. Except for him and a few professors, no one else could know about it.

He was confused just now, so he admitted it without hesitation.

Kyle shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

"Confused?" The Unspeakable glanced at him, "Or do you think that Albus's use of the Time-Turner could be hidden from the Department of Mysteries?

"That's a hundred years, such a huge time span. Even the fog in the Time Reversal Hall is about to spread out. If the Department of Mysteries doesn't notice anything, they might as well just close it down."

"Uh..." Kyle was speechless for a moment.

He almost forgot that the Department of Mysteries deals with such intangible things as time and space. As long as someone uses the time converter, they will definitely know.

"Godric's Hollow, the living room of Ms. Bathilda Bagshot's home, right?" The Silent Man continued, "After you used the Time Turner, we immediately went there to investigate. Although there were many people nearby at the time, as long as we pay attention, we can infer that only you were involved in this matter."

"Why." Kyle asked, "Why only me?"

"Because of the phoenix." The Silent Man explained patiently, "The phoenix is ​​a very unique and magical animal. Not everyone can get close to it. The fact that you brought it with you is enough to explain everything. Any other questions?"

"So you guys have been following me ever since?" he asked.

"Not really. Tracking is too ugly." The Silent Man said, "After all, you are Diana's family. We just paid close attention to your movements and found that you went to King's Cross Station to send someone to school on September 1st...that Harry Potter.

"But you were not among those who came back. From this, we can infer that you also took the train to Hogwarts."

"Couldn't I have Apparated away earlier?" Kyle said.

Then he saw the Silent Man looking at him with a strange look.

"Okay, I said something stupid." Kyle was a little embarrassed.

The Department of Magical Transportation would be able to detect traces of Apparition, and if the Department of Mysteries had been observing them, they would definitely have made full preparations in advance.

"It's okay, I understand, you don't have to care about it." The Silent Man said with a smile...or should I say, a smile.

"I don't need to tell you what happened next." She continued: "You went to Hogwarts, and then the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, showed up at the opening banquet."

"No need." Kyle shook his head, "So, you also know why I came to the Department of Mysteries this time, right?

"If you've been watching me, you know about my trip to France and what I went through there."

"Well... I really don't know." The Silent Man emphasized: "I must repeat, we did not follow you. We only made guesses based on your itinerary and what happened afterwards. Diana knows you too well, so this is not difficult for us."

Diana?

Kyle twitched his lips.

If it was his mother, then it all would make sense.

"Besides, the Beauxbatons you went to is difficult for even us to enter, so we naturally don't know what you experienced there."

"But..." She changed the subject, "According to Diana's guess, you came to the Department of Mysteries because you noticed that Albus Dumbledore was trapped in the past and wanted to rescue him."

"Yes." Kyle nodded and admitted, "I want to know what I should do."

"It's best not to do anything." The Unspeakable said, "Just leave this matter to someone else, and you won't have any trouble. I think Minerva McGonagall is a good choice. She is capable and thoughtful. She can definitely bring Albus Dumbledore back from the past."

"I know, but I have a feeling it's going to be me who does it," Kyle said.

"Is that so?" The Silent Man paused, "Then don't do anything either, just let nature take its course."

"Do nothing." Kyle thought for a moment, "Is this what my mother meant?"

"The first one is," said the Silent Man, "You should understand that she will definitely not agree to your use of the Time Turner. I can help you pass the message, but the answer I get will most likely be the same."

"Thank you, but no thanks." Kyle shook his head, turned around and prepared to leave.

But soon he stopped, turned around and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"I guess we know each other." the other person said.

"who are you?"

This time the Silent Man did not speak, but just reached out and opened the black door that suddenly appeared.

It wasn't until she walked in that he said lightly, "You'll know, but not now."

The door closed, then merged with the wall and disappeared from Kyle's sight again.

He tried shouting twice, but there was no response.

"What a strange man," Kyle muttered.

He walked up the elevator and returned to the bustling main hall. All the while, he was thinking about what the Silent Man had just said, and trying to compare the Silent Man's image with the familiar people in his memory one by one.

But he thought about it for a long time and still couldn't be sure who the other person was. None of the people in his memory matched.

Kyle thought so as he walked through the busy main hall and came to the fireplace corridor.

He should not have stayed on the ninth floor for more than an hour, and it was impossible for Chris to return from the Hebrides Islands during this time.

So Kyle didn't look for him anymore and went straight back to the Burrow using the fireplace.

……

"Fred, George, please be quiet."

"Charlie, could you please get me a cushion? This chair is too hard."

"Mum, you've already put two cushions in place, why can't you just let him stay at St. Mungo's."

"Yeah, maybe Big Head Boy can write an excellent report on the hardness of the beds there."

"More exciting than the report at the bottom of the crucible."

"You are delaying his future..."

……

There were many voices coming from the burrow, and it was noisy.

When Kyle jumped out of the fireplace, everyone looked over subconsciously.

"Sorry to bother you...Oh, Percy, when did you come back?" Kyle said in surprise, looking at the thin figure sitting in the middle.

Percy Weasley was also affected when the Death Eaters attacked the Ministry of Magic, and was sent to St. Mungo's because he suffered the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse.

I didn't expect to be discharged from the hospital so soon?

"Just now, my mother picked me up half an hour ago." Percy's voice was a little weak.

"Why don't you stay a few more days." Kyle walked over and found that Percy's face was still almost pale and his red hair was dull.

"I know the dean there. You can rest in peace."

"It's impossible to recuperate in a place like that." Percy shook his head. "There are too many people. Next to me is a man who has been bewitched by a strange dark magic. Every day he thinks he is a snake and crawls around the room. Last night he even broke free from the healer's restraints and crawled on top of me, trying to swallow me."

Percy shuddered unconsciously at the thought.

Fred and George beside them were laughing so hard that they fell backwards.

Fred laughed until tears came out of his eyes. "The guy started swallowing Percy from his feet."

"I bet he won't dare to eat anything carelessly again." George said, holding onto the table.

"Would you two please be quiet!" Mrs. Weasley tried to keep a straight face, but she seemed to be unable to hold it back any longer.

"Anyway, we have to thank that man," she said. "It's thanks to him that Percy woke up so quickly."

"I bet Percy wouldn't want to thank him," said Fred, raising an eyebrow.

Percy really didn't want to.

When he opened his eyes, he saw someone trying to swallow his leg. This incident would almost become a psychological trauma for his whole life...even greater than the trauma of the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse combined.

It was for this reason that Percy hurriedly told Bill, who was guarding the ward, to ask Mrs. Weasley to take him home.

"If that's the case, why don't I contact Dean Sassia and ask her to change Percy's ward." Kyle said, "St. Mungo's is the professional place to treat the Unforgivable Curse."

"Thanks for your offer, Kyle, but that's really not necessary."

At this time, Mrs. Weasley also came over and put a large plate of candy on the table.

I asked the healers when I went to pick him up just now. They said that Percy didn't suffer the Unforgivable Curse for long, and he would be fine as long as he woke up. It would be better for him to recuperate at home instead of in St. Mungo's.

"Yeah." Percy nodded as well, "I feel much more relaxed now that I'm back here."

"Hey, who are you!" Fred suddenly shouted, scaring everyone.

George also pointed his wand at Percy, "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to control Percy with the Imperius Curse!"

"You two..."

Frightened, Mrs. Weasley rolled up her sleeves angrily, walked over and started to twist the two men's ears.

Fred quickly dodged Mrs. Weasley's hand and said seriously, "Mom, you are all deceived. Percy can't say 'The Burrow is very comfortable'."

"Yeah, he said at the time that he was depressed here and he would never come back!" George echoed.

Mrs. Weasley paused, her expression complicated.

Because Percy did say that at that time, Voldemort had not yet made a public appearance, and the Ministry of Magic was denying the claims of his return.

At that time, Percy insisted on standing on Fudge's side, even at the cost of breaking up with his family, and since then, he has never come back.

Even though Fudge changed his tone in the end and Voldemort made a high-profile appearance, he only apologized, but he still avoided the other Weasleys, let alone returned home.

The Burrow fell into an eerie silence, and Kyle didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.

Besides, this was a Weasley family matter, and it seemed like nothing he could say would be appropriate.

Kyle felt a little embarrassed and wanted to do something to keep himself busy. He carefully picked up a Momo Tooth mint candy and slowly opened the package, trying not to make any noise.

As soon as he opened the package, a strong arm reached out from the side and quickly snatched the candy away.

Charlie looked back at Kyle and popped the candy into his mouth.

It can be seen that he is also a little embarrassed.

Although he was also a Weasley, Percy was in Romania when he had a falling out with his family. After he came back, others rarely mentioned Percy.

He also didn't know what to say at this time.

"sorry."

After an unknown amount of time, Percy finally spoke: "I don't know what happened to me at that time. Maybe it was my ridiculous self-esteem. Even though I knew I was wrong, I didn't know how to face you and Dad... So I thought that as long as I didn't meet you, I could pretend that nothing had happened...

"But I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, if I can... I want to come back, back to this family, is that okay?"

Percy looked at Mrs. Weasley nervously, wringing his hands together.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Weasley's eyes instantly turned red and she hugged Percy tightly. "You are a member of the family. You can come back whenever you want."

"Is that all?" Fred curled his lips and said easily, "Just apologize and all the bad things that happened before can be written off?"

"And you guys." Percy turned his head, and even though he was weak, he still stood up shakily. "I apologize for what I did before, and you can vent your anger however you want, as long as you can let me live back, even in the attic."

Then Percy bent down, just like when he saw Barty Crouch at the Quidditch World Cup, so low that his glasses fell onto the table.

"You... don't think we can forgive you just because you said that." Fred, who was indignant just now, was speechless all of a sudden. He looked at Percy, and then subconsciously looked away.

The same goes for George. Both of them seemed to have not yet reacted and their expressions were a little embarrassed.

"It's amazing that you can say such things?" George threw the wand in his hand aside.

The wand hit the chair and poofed into a haddock toy.

"I really doubt now if you are Percy," said Fred. "The Percy we know would never apologize to his brother."

"He would just say: Fred, George, can you be quiet? I can't read."

"And complain to mom."

"You can check it any way you want, I have no problem with that," Percy said.

"Don't say that, dear." Mrs. Weasley rubbed her eyes. "I trust the healers at St. Mungo's. If they can get you back, it means you're definitely fine."

"We will do that, of course."

George grabbed a candy, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth. "But there's no need for the attic. Mom will kill us if we let you live there."

The two seemed not to be used to this kind of scene, or they did not expect Percy's transformation to be so drastic. After saying "We're going back to the store", they hurried away.

The door of the Burrow was opened and then closed.

"I don't think I've been to your house yet." Charlie suddenly turned to look at Kyle and asked.

“You haven’t been there since you graduated,” Kyle said.

"Has it been that long? How's Tom?" Charlie said. "That Kneazle you keep."

"It's fine. It's gained a lot of weight, but Dad insists that it's just that its fur has grown longer."

"I quite like the Kneazle. It's a very smart little creature and much easier to deal with than a fire dragon. Can you take me to see it?"

"Of course no problem." Kyle stood up and left the Burrow with Charlie.
