Chapter 589: The Ministry’s Warning Letter
Kyle didn't give much thought to the sudden appearance of the owl in front of him, nor to the letter clutched in its talons. Letters had been flooding in lately, and it would have been more surprising if he hadn't received one that day.
But for Mr. Weasley to rush back from work... could it be about the meeting Dumbledore had mentioned, as McPhail hinted?
Curiosity piqued, Kyle took the envelope and pulled out the letter, quickly scanning its contents. His expression shifted abruptly.
The letter wasn't from Dumbledore. It was from the Ministry of Magic, and its contents were nothing short of outrageous. For a moment, Kyle wondered if he had misread it.
Or perhaps the Ministry had lost its mind.
'What is it?" Fred and George, noticing Kyle's silence, leaned over to read the letter for themselves.
"We have been informed that you used a Charm in the Leaky Cauldron at 10:36 this morning.
This is a violation of the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act.
Please report to the Ministry of Magic on the morning of the 12th of August to explain the situation, or we will be forced to expel you.
Mafalda...'
"No way—did I read that right?" Fred exclaimed. "Or did I just misread it, and doesn't using a Charm in the Leaky Cauldron only earns a formal warning?"
