Chapter 698: Plotting and Strategizing, the Choice of a Hero
Back when he was in the Giant tribe, life had been harsh. They all lived in tents, and every night was a struggle. Either the thunderous snores of the Giants woke them up, or the sounds of fighting and roaring kept him from sleeping at all.
Now that he was back in St. Catchpole Village, Kyle went straight to his room without even stopping for dinner. He slept until noon, then emerged briefly to grab something quick to eat.
But instead of staying home for the rest of the day, Kyle headed straight to the Ministry of Magic.
When he arrived at the lobby, Chris was just returning from outside.
"Why are you here at this time?" Chris asked as they waited for the elevator. "Don't you need more rest?"
"No, I'm fine. I rested all morning," Kyle replied, shaking his head. "How are the Dementors?"
"It's a problem," Chris sighed. "The Ministry has sent everyone who can cast a Patronus Charm, but it's still not enough."
"But honestly, it's thanks to you for convincing Cedric to work here. He's been a huge help these past few days."
Just then, the elevator arrived, and the two stepped in together. In the distance, someone was running toward them, waving frantically to get them to hold the doors.
Neither Kyle nor Chris made a move to help. The elevator doors closed swiftly.
"How are things with the Giants?" Chris asked quietly as the elevator began to ascend.
