MTL - Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 706: The Forgetting Curse and the Lost Wand

 London.

 Saint Mungo's.

Cedric's injury was not serious. A young therapist hurriedly walked into the ward, held down his leg and gave it a sharp break, then quickly wrapped two circles of bandages with his hands and feet.

“Okay, drink another bottle of magic potion, and the bones will grow back tomorrow.”

 After saying that, he hurriedly left the ward. At this time, Kyle had just unpacked the chocolate frog, and the whole process did not even take more than a minute.

"I told you, there is no need to come to St. Mungo's." Cedric said helplessly.

"It's better to be cautious." Mr. Digory said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "From now on, the task of hunting down dementors should be left to the Aurors. You can stay at the Ministry of Magic."

“Dad, I’m fine,” Cedric said. “The reason why I got hurt this time was just because of my inexperience.”

"no."

“The capture of Dementors is primarily the responsibility of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, not the Aurors.”

"Then I'll go," insisted Mr. Diggory. His meaning was simply that Cedric would not be allowed to take any more risks.

When he received Cedric's distress message before, he felt like the sky was falling and he almost fainted in the office.

 “But…” Cedric wanted to say something else.

"Just listen to Mr. Diggory." Kyle interrupted, "There are fewer and fewer dementors now, and we don't need to deliberately capture them anymore."

"And didn't you want to take a vacation before? Now it's just right. It won't be three days. How about a week. During this period, you can rest peacefully and recuperate."

"That's great!" Mr. Diggory said happily. "Thank you so much, Kyle, and thank you for saving Ced this time..."

“It’s okay, after all, we are acting together.” Kyle said.

"No." Cedric shook his head, "Seven days is too long. The ministry is already short of people, so three days is better."

"That was before. Don't forget that the Dementor problem has been solved now." Kyle waved his hand, stood up and said, "That's it."

Then Kyle said hello to Mr. Diggory and left St. Mungo's without waiting for Cedric to say anything else.

 …

 When he returned to the Ministry of Magic, someone was already waiting for him.

 “How are you? You’re not injured?” Chris asked.

 “No,” Kyle said.

"That's good." Chris took Kyle into the elevator, "Come on, I'll take you to the Auror office."

As the target of this Death Eater attack, Kyle would definitely have to go to the Auror office, which he had already thought of.

After reaching the second floor, the two left the elevator and walked along a corridor covered with wanted portraits.

“The minister takes this attack very seriously. No matter what, we must find and capture the escaped Death Eater!”

Even before he reached the door, Kyle heard Scrimgeour's roar.

“In addition, tell everyone that they must be vigilant. If the Death Eaters appear again, they must be caught... With so many Aurors, aren’t we as good as Kyle, a child under seventeen years old?”

 At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the office.

Then Chris opened the door and walked in with Kyle.

There are more portraits in the Auror's office than in the corridor outside, almost covering the entire wall. There are piles of documents and information on the tables and cabinets, and other places are occupied by all kinds of weird magical items.

Kyle noticed that there was a huge mirror next to Scrimgeour, in which many people were reflected, but none of them were in the room.

In addition, there is a looking glass as big as a bludger on the windowsill, spinning calmly.

 “There you are, Chris.” Scrimgeour’s tone became much calmer.

“How are you doing? I didn’t bother you.” Chris asked.

"No," said Scrimgeour, and with a wave of his hand the Aurors left the room.

"I think this is your first time here." Scrimgeour looked at Kyle, "Just briefly describe the situation at that time. It won't take too long... Oh, sit down quickly, me and Your father is a very good friend, just be casual."

"Okay." Kyle said, sitting down on a sofa that didn't have so many documents.

"So..." Scrimgeour took out a piece of parchment, "How many Death Eaters are there in total this time."

 “Two,” Kyle blurted out.

Scrimgeour nodded and made a mark on the parchment. "Do you know who they are? Their names or characteristics are all fine."

"The one who was captured doesn't know." Kyle said, "But the witch who escaped should be named Carlo."

"Caro... a witch?" Scrimgeour thought for a moment, "It should be Alecto Carrow. She and Amycus Carrow were suspected of being Death Eaters seventeen years ago, but at that time They insisted that they were under the Imperius Curse and because of lack of evidence, they escaped justice."

"This was not uncommon at the time." Chris said, seeming to be explaining something to Kyle.

"The mysterious man fell suddenly, and the Ministry of Magic was in chaos at the time. It was difficult... and impossible to imprison a large number of pure-blood wizards in Azkaban, so these fish slipped through the net."

 “Yes…but not anymore,” said Scrimgeour.

 “What happened after that and how did you defeat them.”

Of course Kyle couldn't tell the truth, but he had already thought of his words.

There is no need to hide the topic of procrastination. He just replaced the fire dragon with the magic taught by Dumbledore.

Scrimgeour also had no doubts about this.

All wizards knew that Dumbledore valued Kyle very much, and it was quite normal to teach him two-hand magic, such as the fire magic that shocked everyone in the Triwizard Tournament.

However, the flame magic will leave a straight channel on the ground, which is inconsistent with the traces left on the scene. It must be another kind of magic.

 After Kyle finished speaking, Scrimgeour looked at the contents on the parchment and asked some more detailed questions, but Kyle answered them perfectly.

"Sorry." Half an hour later, Scrimgeour looked at three sheets of parchment, looked up at Kyle and said, "Because the Death Eater lost a memory, we can only ask you what happened. ”

　　While saying this, his eyes flickered slightly.

"The Death Eater should have done it himself." Kyle said calmly: "When I was chasing him, I saw him using the Oblivion Curse on himself. As long as you find his wand, you will know."

 “We’ve been looking,” said Scrimgeour.

Chris frowned and said, "Rufus, are you suspecting that Kyle hid the wand?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to take the wand test." Kyle took out his wand.

“No, don’t get me wrong.” Scrimgeour said with a smile, “Those Death Eaters want to kill Kyle, and he has absolutely no reason to do so, right?

"I guess the Death Eaters must be trying to hide something... We have encountered this situation many times before. Dark wizards will use the Oblivion Curse on themselves before being caught, or destroy their wands, trying to cover up their crimes. committed crimes and thus escaped justice.”

"In this case, wouldn't the Ministry of Magic have nothing to do with them?" Kyle asked.

For the Ministry of Magic, wand testing can directly determine whether the other party has used illegal spells, and is an important process in the trial.

"It's just a little more troublesome. What they did won't disappear with the wand." Scrimgeour said, "Also, they can't use the Oblivion Charm on everyone. We can always find new evidence."

"Wait a minute..." Chris suddenly thought of something and said: "If the Death Eaters used the Oblivion Curse on themselves, wouldn't we be able to know where the Death Eaters' base camp is through him?"

“I shouldn’t have told you this.” Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment, but finally whispered: “Luckily, he has a lot of memories of this in his head, and it cannot be completely cleared away by a forgetting spell.”

 “Then you found it?”

"Found it, we used some special means and learned from the other party that he had been in an alley in Wiltshire with five other Death Eaters."

 “Do you need my help?” Chris said seriously.

"Thank you, Chris." Scrimgeour sighed, "But half an hour ago, when I rushed over with all the Aurors, the Death Eaters were no longer there. "Obviously they also knew about the arrest of their companions. , ran away early. "

 “That’s a shame.” Chris shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter, we can always catch them.”

 “Bang bang bang!”

With a knock on the door, several Aurors hurriedly walked in.

Chris stood up and said, "Rufus, if nothing happens..."

"Ah, I've asked all the questions, so please go ahead." Scrimgeour said, "And Kyle, if you want, you can come and work in the Auror office at any time."

 “Okay.” Kyle nodded and said.

 The two then left the room and took the elevator back to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

 …

 “It’s really dangerous.”

After closing the office door, Chris turned his head and glanced at Kyle, "When you took out the wand, my heart skipped a beat.

"If I guess correctly, you used the forgetting spell, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

“Do you look down on me too much, do you think I can’t even recognize Dragon Fire?” Chris raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe." Kyle smiled, "There's nothing we can do about it. We must find some help in that situation."

"I didn't mean to blame you," said Chris, "and I've covered it up for you. I told Scrimgeour that the trace on the scene was a magical flame."

 “Has he believed it?”

 “I guess I believe it.” Chris said. "Different types of fire dragons have different flames. The main hunting method of the Norwegian Spinosaurus is its powerful body, so their flames are slightly weaker than other fire dragons.

“Skrimgeour has never seen the flames of the Norwegian Spinosaurus, so he has no doubts.”

"Thank you." Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't help it. Although with the speed of the Firebolt, it is definitely no problem for me to run, but Cedric is still here, I can't leave him there. "

"I don't mean to blame you, otherwise I wouldn't take the initiative to help you cover it up." Chris waved his hand, "I just think you are too bold. What if Scrimgeour really checks your wand."

“He won’t.” Kyle said confidently: “Although I don’t like the job of senior ministerial assistant very much, I have to admit that this status is sometimes very convenient.

"Besides, even if Scrimgeour doesn't care about it, it doesn't matter if it must be checked. I don't use a wand for the Oblivion Charm."

 “Casting the Oblivion Curse without a wand?” Chris was a little surprised.

"Yes." Kyle said, "I'm just not very skilled, and the process may be a little rough."

Chris frowned.

The Oblivion Curse is an advanced magic spell. If you are not proficient in it, the consequences will be very serious, so under normal circumstances, even Dumbledore will not cast the Oblivion Curse without a wand.

 What, Death Eaters? That’s okay!

Kyle didn’t go anywhere else after that and stayed in Chris’s office for a long time. By the time he came out, it was already evening.

"There's a lot of work piled up today. I might not go home for a while." Chris sent Kyle to the elevator door. "You can go directly to No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Molly heard that you are back and specially There's a big birthday dinner for you and Harry, and your mother will be there too.

“Oh, by the way, remember not to tell her that you were attacked by Death Eaters, she doesn’t know about this yet.”

 “Are you sure she doesn’t know?” Kyle asked.

Chris was a little speechless, "No matter what, just pretend that she doesn't know."

"Okay." Kyle said, "But first, if she asks why I hid it, I will definitely put the blame on you."

Chris stared at Kyle in disbelief with his eyes widened.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid too..." Kyle spread his hands.

 Just at this time, the elevator door also closed.

 Because it was not yet time to get off work, there were not many people using the elevator. Soon Kyle came to the main hall.

 There are still as many wizards here as ever.

"Little Kyle, when did you come back..." An old wizard passing by saw Kyle and greeted him warmly.

 “This afternoon, Professor Tofty,” Kyle said,

The other person is from the Wizarding Examination Authority, who was responsible for supervising his spells, astronomy and history of magic when he was in O.W.L.

 “Oh, Kyle?” At this time, another acquaintance came over.

　　is Lupin.

 He finally changed out of the faded robe with many patches and put on a very decent navy blue robe.

 He walked quickly to Kyle's side.

"Thank you, I heard it from Sirius..." He looked a little excited, "I never thought that one day I would be able to work in the Ministry of Magic and be an Auror."

"You don't have to be so polite, Professor Lupin." Kyle said with a smile. At this time, he noticed that Lupine was also bringing a man who wrapped himself tightly, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?" What?"

"Oh, another pretender to claim the bounty." Lu Ping said calmly, "from Knockturn Alley. Just now, he disguised himself with polyjuice potion and took a few pieces of tattered robes with a freezing spell on them to try to claim the bounty. Long.

“According to the regulations, I have to send him to the holding cell.”

 The holding room is where the dementors are, which is the temporary Azkaban set up by the Ministry of Magic.

Those captured dark wizards and those who use fake goods to pass off their weapons will be locked up inside.

 “How many fakes did he take?” Kyle asked.

 “Thirty items,” said Lu Ping.

"Three thousand Galleons..." Kyle glanced at the wizard, "That's enough for an appetite."

"So he must stay there for thirty days, with the dementors," Lupine said.

 Hearing the dementors, the originally calm wizard suddenly started to struggle.

"Let go, let me go...I won't go, I don't want to be locked up with the dementors."

"You said it doesn't count." Lupine waved his wand lightly, and several ropes floated out, tying the other party tightly.

"Please..." the other party was still begging for mercy, "As long as you don't lock me up with the dementors, I'm willing to pay any price!"

"Unless you are willing to buy the fakes in your hands." Lu Ping glanced at him and said, "One piece a day. The specific situation has been clearly stated, so I don't need to explain more."

"But you didn't say there were Dementors there!" the other party roared, but the people around him seemed to be used to it. They just glanced at it and continued busy with their own things.

"Oh, the dementors were also captured and imprisoned there." Lupine said, "It's strange. There are many people in Knockturn Alley who know about this person, but no one told you?"

The man fell silent, then jumped to his feet and cursed angrily: "Damn it, those bastards, scum, dirty fools..."

But Lupine didn't care about that and dragged him away.

 “Well, Kyle, we’ll see you later.”

 “See you later.” Kyle waved.
