Chapter 621: Then I’ll Have to Use the Memory Charm Again
Fudge had barely exited when Kanna entered The Three Broomsticks, carrying two bags of sweets.
"So the person you were meeting this time was the Minister of Magic?" she asked, her tone incredulous.
"Yes," Kyle replied with a grin. "Fudge came to talk me out of school. Apparently, he wants me to become the next Minister of Magic right now."
At first, Kanna's heart sank in alarm, but as Kyle continued, she realized he was teasing. Her worry turned to irritation as she threw a bag of mixed beans at him. "Then just go ahead, Mr. Youngest Minister," she said sarcastically.
Kyle caught the bag with a laugh. "No, I actually turned him down. Being the Minister of Magic sounds incredibly dull. It's more work than being a fifth-year student, and not even a little fun."
"As if you'd ever actually become Minister," Kanna retorted, rolling her eyes.
"Alright, fine, I couldn't," Kyle conceded with a shrug. "But Professor Dumbledore could."
"What?" Kanna blinked, startled. "Professor Dumbledore is running for Minister of Magic?"
"Not really," Kyle clarified. "But we needed to make Fudge feel a bit threatened, didn't we? Just enough to keep him from constantly trying to undermine us."
