Chapter 107: Apparition
As Kyle had planned, after learning of Hagrid's attack, he'd gone to the Room of Requirement to retrieve the two Chomping Cabbages, storing them in his modified Mokeskin pouch. This pouch—an upgrade of the one Newt had gifted him—allowed him to carry both Magical Creatures and plants, albeit in limited quantities.
He'd originally intended to use the cabbages to ambush the witch, but they'd ended up coming in handy against Oren instead, a satisfying turn of events.
Meanwhile, Oren was in a grim struggle on the ground, rolling around to avoid both the Chomping Cabbages gnawing at his legs and Kyle's relentless stream of Disarming and Stunning Charms.
"Enough!" Oren spat, deflecting yet another Disarming Charm. He took a swift bite from one of the cabbages and finally managed to cast his own spell.
"Incendio!"
Scarlet flames erupted from his wand, blackening the cabbages until they fell still. Breathing heavily, Oren straightened, his expression steely.
"I admit it—I underestimated you." Oren raised his wand, and the surrounding fallen leaves transformed into sharp, whirling blades that hurtled toward Kyle.
"Confringo!" Kyle aimed his wand at the ground, setting off an explosion that cloaked the area in dust.
"Blinding me? Not a bad strategy," Oren sneered, eyes narrowing as he unleashed the leaf-blades into the smoke. "But where can you hide?"
The blades rained down over the area, scattering through the dust. Oren smirked, satisfied.
"Stupefy!"
