Chapter 826: A New Goal, Grindelwald
Percy’s return brought warmth and liveliness back to The Burrow. Mrs. Weasley, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders, was in noticeably better spirits than before.
That very day, she prepared a lavish dinner and warmly invited Kyle to join them.
Chris was still away on the Hebrides Islands.
Which wasn’t surprising—anything involving dragons was never simple. And with even Newt involved, it was clearly not something that could be handled in just a day or two.
Chances were, Chris would be stationed there for a while. Kyle had considered offering to help—if only to pass the time—but without an invitation, showing up unannounced would almost certainly be considered trespassing.
Dragon sanctuaries, after all, were full of eggs and hatchlings. To prevent theft, unfamiliar wizards were generally barred from entering.
That was certainly the case at the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary.
Especially now, with the Hebridean Black Dragons acting up, tension on the Hebrides Islands would be high. Showing up out of nowhere might lead to unnecessary conflict, and no one wanted injuries—on either side.
So after some deliberation, Kyle decided to drop the idea.
Besides, Chris had a point—between him and Newt, they had things covered. Kyle wouldn’t be of much help anyway. Better to stay home, rest up, and prepare for what was coming.
...
At 7 p.m. sharp, Kyle arrived at The Burrow. Mr. Weasley was there too, having managed to leave work on time for once.
