Chapter 596: Challenging the Ministry of Magic
Lucius and Karkaroff were deeply worried.
Setting Kyle up and getting him expelled from Hogwarts was the first task Voldemort had assigned them after his resurrection. They had believed it was foolproof and accepted the mission without hesitation.
To ensure success, Lucius had invested heavily, pouring gold into Fudge's coffers to concoct an absurd pretext to summon Kyle to the Ministry. They had hoped to catch him off guard and secure an easy victory.
But everything was going wrong.
How could there be no record of the Fiendfyre Curse in Kyle's wand? It didn't make sense. Was it a mistake? Or perhaps the Fiendfyre Curse would appear later in the inspection.
They couldn't allow the investigation to end prematurely, so they insisted on continuing.
Kyle seemed unbothered by their desperation, making no move to stop them.

Karkaroff's face grew increasingly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Continue! Continue!" he shouted, his voice strained.
At this point, Kyle pressed his wand to his forehead, instantly terminating the effect of Prior Incantato.
