Chapter 779: No Sense of Fair Play
Kyle and the others caught the Death Eaters completely off guard. Perhaps the Death Eaters had assumed that Auror reinforcements wouldn’t arrive so quickly, so they hadn’t paid much attention to their backs from the start.
Taking advantage of their distraction, some shopkeepers quickly reacted, shifting from defense to offense and launching counterattacks against the Death Eaters.
In an instant, the tide of battle turned.
"Stupefy!" Kyle sent another Death Eater flying. Just as he was about to switch targets, he suddenly noticed a strange-colored smoke drifting toward him.
At the same time, an indescribable stench assaulted his nose, shooting straight to his brain. For a brief moment, it felt as if the entire world had become crystal clear.
"Ugh..."
Kyle gagged, barely managing to keep his dinner down. Abandoning the idea of continuing his fight, he quickly cast the Bubble-Head Charm on himself.
Only after taking two deep breaths did he finally start to feel better.
"Fred! George!" Kyle’s voice was muffled through the bubble, but his anger was unmistakable. "Can’t you use something a little more conventional?"
"This is conventional!" Fred blinked innocently through the fog. "As the owners of a joke shop, what’s wrong with using a few magical tricks in battle?"
"And it’s great advertising for our shop," George added with a grin, completely unaffected by the smell. "You know how bad business has been lately. We haven’t opened in ages."
