Chapter 594: The Sudden Interrogation
By the time Kyle was finished at the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry had opened for business. However, Diana wasn't in a hurry to let Chris take Kyle away just yet.
"Give me your wand," she said.
Kyle, a little puzzled, pulled his wand from his pocket and handed it over.
Diana held the wand in her hand, pressing her index finger against its tip. A few red sparks fizzed out.
Kyle had no idea what she'd done, but the frown on her face was hard to miss. Chris, standing nearby, instinctively edged back a little.
Finally, Diana seemed unable to hold back her frustration any longer. She raised her hand and tapped Kyle lightly on the head.
"Don't use the Fiendfyre Curse so often," she said sternly. "That spell is incredibly difficult to control, and if you're discovered, the consequences won't be much lighter than for using the Unforgivable Curses."
Although the tap didn't hurt, Kyle winced and covered his head defensively. "They're Death Eaters," he argued. "If I don't use the Fiendfyre Curse, they will."
"That may be true," Diana admitted, "but as long as they haven't been completely exposed, their official identity isn't that of a Death Eater. However, the fact that you used Fiendfyre is clear and can be easily discovered."
"Prior Incantato," Kyle muttered under his breath, realizing that this interrogation might not be as straightforward as he'd initially thought.
"Good, I see you understand now," Diana said, returning his wand to him. She handed it back with a meaningful look and added, "Take your suitcase with you—and stay vigilant."
