Chapter 131: Ron’s Wand
Chris and Diana had been called to the Ministry unexpectedly, so Kyle ended up having lunch at the Weasley residence. Mrs. Weasley, who hadn't seen him for over two weeks, was delighted to have him over and insisted on piling his plate high with seven or eight sausages and filling his bowl three times with rice. By the end of the meal, Kyle was too full to move.
"Fancy helping us de-gnome the garden?" Fred asked enthusiastically. "We're official Quidditch Beaters now, so we can definitely beat you at it."
"Maybe next time," Kyle replied, shaking his head as he pulled a yellow envelope from his pocket. "I've got to head to Diagon Alley to pick up supplies for the new semester."
"Oh, that's right—you haven't gotten your school things yet!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, bustling over from the kitchen. "Just a moment, dear. We'll come along with you."
"No need, Mrs. Weasley," Kyle said with a smile. "Most of the second-year supplies are the same as the first year's. I only need a few things like parchment and ink, so I'll be back quickly."
Mrs. Weasley hesitated, glancing at him with slight concern.
"It's fine, Mum," Fred reassured her. "We'll go with him."
"Yes, Mum," George added. "We'll make sure he's all set."
"All right, then," Mrs. Weasley relented. But she shot the twins a warning look. "Come straight back once you're done, and don't go wandering into any shady places with Kyle."
