Chapter 706: The Memory Charm and the Lost Wand
Chapter 706: The Memory Charm and the Lost Wand
London.
St. Mungo's.
Cedric's injury wasn't severe. A young healer rushed into the ward, forcefully straightened his leg, and swiftly wrapped two rounds of bandages around it, all within a minute.
"There, drink a bottle of potion, and your bones will heal by tomorrow," the healer said, already hurrying out of the ward. Kyle had barely unwrapped the Chocolate Frog's packaging when the healer left.
"I told you it wasn't necessary to come to St. Mungo's," Cedric said with a hint of helplessness.
"It's better to be cautious," Mr. Diggory said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "From now on, let the Aurors handle the Dementor capture missions. You stay at the Ministry."
"Dad, I'm fine," Cedric insisted.
"No."
"Capturing Dementors is primarily the responsibility of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, not the Aurors."
"Then I'll go," Mr. Digory said firmly, his intention clear—he wouldn't allow Cedric to take such risks again.
When he had received Cedric's distress message earlier, he felt like the sky had fallen, nearly fainting on the spot.
"But..." Cedric wanted to say more.
"Listen to Mr. Digory," Kyle interrupted, "Dementors are becoming rarer, and we don't need to actively capture them anymore."
"Besides, didn't you want some time off? Now's a good time. How about three days, or even a week? You can focus on recovering during that time."
"Great!" Mr. Digory exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Kyle, and this time, it's also thanks to you that Sed... I mean, Cedric is safe."
"It's nothing. We were working together," Kyle said.
"No," Cedric shook his head, "Seven days is too long. The Ministry is already short-staffed. Three days is enough."
"That was before. Don't forget that the Dementor issue has been resolved," Kyle waved his hand, standing up, "It's settled then."
Without waiting for Cedric to say more, Kyle bid farewell to Mr. Digory and left St. Mungo's.
...
Upon returning to the Ministry of Magic, someone was already waiting for him.
"How are you? No injuries, I hope," Chris asked.
"None," Kyle replied.
"Good," Chris said, leading Kyle towards the Auror Office, "Come, I'll take you there."
As one of the targets of the Death Eater attack, Kyle had expected to visit the Auror Office.
After reaching the second floor, they left the lift and walked down a corridor lined with wanted posters.
"The Minister is taking this attack seriously. We must find and capture that escaped Death Eater at all costs!"
Before they even reached the door, Kyle heard Scrimgeour's roar.
"Also, everyone must stay vigilant. If the Death Eaters appear again, we must capture them... With so many Aurors, how can we be outdone by a child not yet seventeen?"
Just then, a knock sounded at the office door.
Chris pushed the door open and entered with Kyle.
The Auror Office was filled with even more wanted posters than the corridor, covering almost every inch of wall, desk, and cabinet, with piles of files and all sorts of peculiar magical items.
Kyle noticed a large mirror next to Scrimgeour, reflecting many people, but none of them were in the room.
Additionally, on the windowsill, there was a peeping mirror the size of a prophecy ball, quietly spinning.
"You're here, Chris," Scrimgeour's tone was much calmer.
"Did I interrupt?" Chris asked.
"No," Scrimgeour waved his hand, and the Aurors in the room departed.
"I assume this is your first time here," Scrimgeour turned to Kyle, "Just a simple description of the situation will do, it won't take too long... Oh, take a seat, I'm good friends with your father, make yourself comfortable."
"Okay," Kyle said, finding a sofa relatively free of files and sitting down.
"So..." Scrimgeour pulled out a piece of parchment, "How many Death Eaters were there?"
"Two," Kyle blurted out.
Scrimgeour nodded, making a mark on the parchment, "Do you know who they were? Names or any distinctive features will do."
"I don't know the captured one," Kyle said, "But the female witch who escaped should be a Carrow."
"Carrow, a witch?" Scrimgeour pondered, "That should be Alecto Carrow. She and her brother, Amycus Carrow, claimed to be under the Imperius Curse and escaped imprisonment seventeen years ago due to insufficient evidence."
"Such cases were common back then," Chris added, as if explaining to Kyle, "The Ministry was in chaos after the sudden fall of the Dark Lord, and it was difficult... no, impossible to imprison a large number of pure-bloods in Azkaban."

"I'm not blaming you, or I wouldn't have taken the initiative to cover for you." Chris waved his hand, "I just think you're too bold. What if Scrimgeour really inspects your wand?"
"He won't." Kyle said confidently, "Although I don't particularly like the job of Senior Assistant Minister, I have to admit that this identity is sometimes very convenient."
"And even if Scrimgeour doesn't care about this, it's fine to inspect it. My Memory Charm doesn't require a wand."
"A wandless Memory Charm?" Chris was a little surprised.
"Yes." Kyle said, "I'm just not very skilled, the process may be a bit rough."
Chris frowned.
The Memory Charm is an advanced spell, and the consequences can be severe if not performed skillfully. Usually, even Dumbledore wouldn't cast a wandless Memory Charm.
What, Death Eaters? Then it's fine!
After that, Kyle didn't go anywhere else and stayed in Chris's office for a long time. By the time he came out, it was already evening.
"I have 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 Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Molly said she prepared a grand birthday dinner for you and Harry, and your mother will be there too."
"Oh, right. Remember not to tell her about the Death Eater attack. She doesn't know yet."
"Are you sure she doesn't know?" Kyle asked.
Chris was a little hesitant, "Anyway, just act like she doesn't know."
"Okay." Kyle said, "But let's get this straight. If she asks why I kept it from her, I'll definitely shift the blame onto you."
Chris stared at him in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm scared too..." Kyle spread his hands.
Just then, the elevator door closed.
Since it wasn't yet time to get off work, there weren't many people using the elevator, and Kyle soon arrived in the main hall.
The wizards here were as numerous as ever.
"Kyle, when did you get back..." A passing old wizard greeted Kyle warmly.
"This afternoon, Professor Topham." Kyle said.
The other wizard was from the Wizard Examination Administration Bureau and had supervised Kyle's spells, astronomy, and magical history during his O.W.L.
"Oh, Kyle?" At this moment, another familiar person approached.
It was Lupin.
He had finally changed out of his faded and worn-out robe and put on a very decent navy blue one.
He quickly walked up to Kyle's side.
"Thanks, I heard it all from Sirius..." He seemed a bit excited, "I never thought that one day I would be able to work at the Ministry of Magic, and as an Auror."
"Don't be so polite, Professor Lupin." Kyle laughed. At this moment, he noticed that Lupin was leading someone who was wrapped up tightly, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, another bounty hunter." Lupin said calmly, "From Knockturn Alley, just now. He disguised himself with Polyjuice Potion and was carrying a few robes with Freezing Charms, wanting to exchange them for Galleons."
"According to the rules, I have to send him to the Holding Cells."
The Holding Cells were where the Dementors were kept, which was the temporary Azkaban built by the Ministry of Magic.
The captured Dark Wizards and those who came with fake goods to pass as real would be locked up there.
"How much fake goods did he take?" Kyle asked.
"Thirty." Lupin said.
"Three thousand Galleons..." Kyle glanced at the wizard, "That's quite an appetite."
"So he has to stay there for thirty days, together with the Dementors." Lupin said.
Upon hearing the word "Dementor," the originally calm wizard began to struggle.
"Let go, let go of me... I don't want to be locked up with Dementors."
"What you say doesn't count." Lupin waved his wand lightly, and a few ropes floated out to tie the other tightly.
"Please... " The other was still begging, "Just don't lock me up with Dementors, I'm willing to pay anything!"
"Unless you're willing to buy the fake goods in his hands." Lupin glanced at him, "One piece a day, the details are written very clearly, so I don't need to explain much, right?"
"But you didn't say there were Dementors there!" The other roared, but the people around seemed to be used to it, just glanced and went back to their business.
"Oh, the Dementors are also locked up there." Lupin said, "It's strange, quite a few people in Knockturn Alley know about this person, didn't anyone tell you?"
The person fell silent and then jumped and cursed, "Damn it, those bastards, scums, dirty fools..."
But Lupin didn't care about that much and pulled him away.
"Then Kyle, see you later."
"See you later." Kyle waved.
