Chapter 673: A Visit to the Ministry of Magic
Thanks to the Ministry of Magic—and perhaps Dumbledore—news of Kyle becoming the Senior Assistant to the Minister for Magic spread like wildfire throughout the wizarding world. The announcement resulted in an influx of letters from all corners.
Some were from people Kyle knew, such as McPhail, who had a knack for stirring up trouble. He sent a set of Senior Prefect robes as a gift, accompanied by a letter that read:
"You can't wear your school uniform to those important occasions."
Kyle had a feeling McPhail was gloating more than anything else, though there was no solid evidence—just a hunch.
Most of the letters came from unfamiliar senders, though judging by their contents, many seemed to hail from the Ministry of Magic.
"Oh, Cuthbert Mockridge," Cedric said, pointing at one of the letters. "My father mentioned him to me. He's the head of the Goblin Liaison Office."
"And Gilbert Wimple from the Committee on Experimental Charms—we met him during our trip to France."
Cedric sifted through the towering pile of letters, scanning for names he recognized.
After a while, his hand paused abruptly.
"Hufflepuff Common Room, second armchair on the left, for Cedric Diggory."
"A letter for me?" Cedric stared at it in surprise, then reasoned that in the chaos of deliveries, one of his letters must have accidentally ended up in Kyle's pile.
