"Didn't expect you to come back all of a sudden."
"Come on, tell us. After all, we did help a bit, didn't we? What's the plan?"
The two of them stared at Kael, refusing to let him leave the room.
They were too curious about why Kael suddenly wanted to keep an eye on that Draco Malfoy.
"Come on, tell me, are you planning to take action against the Malfoy family?" Fred asked, "If that's the case, make sure to include us."
"We've been dreaming about this day for a long time, really!" George said hopefully.
The conflict between the Weasley and Malfoy families in the Magic Realm was practically common knowledge. Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy even had a fight in Flourish and Blotts, and that incident stayed in the Daily Prophet for several days.
And a few years ago, because the platform was inexplicably closed, Ron had to drive a flying car to school... Back then, Lucius wouldn't let go of the matter and lobbied everywhere, almost causing Mr. Weasley to lose his job.
Of course, there were many other incidents too, and the struggle between the two families had been ongoing, never ceasing.
Now, there was finally a chance to kick them while they're down, and of course, they didn't want to miss it.
Kael naturally knew what they were thinking.
"Sorry, you're overthinking it," Kael said. "This time, it's just because of Draco Malfoy."
"That's fine. Even if it's just one person," Fred said, "just tell us about it."
"Yeah," George nodded repeatedly, "You're about to go back to school and prepare for the N.E.W.T. exams. You won't have much time to deal with things outside the school."
"Maybe we can help you."
Kael hesitated for a moment, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes, yes."
"Definitely!"
Their heads were nodding so quickly they almost left afterimages.
"Alright then," Kael said. "In fact, I've discovered that Draco Malfoy is planning a scheme to get the Death Eaters into Hogwarts."
The room instantly fell silent.
A second later.
"If you don't want to say, fine." Fred pouted, "But why make up a story to trick us?"
"Even if you're making up a story, at least put some thought into it," George said disdainfully. "A single Malfoy... can get the Death Eaters into Hogwarts?
"Even if you told Ron that, he wouldn't believe it."
The two looked at Kael again, feeling disappointed with his perfunctory attitude.
But Kael remained calm.
"A single Malfoy can't do it... but what if I help him?"
"Help him with what?" George paused, testing the waters, "You wouldn't be helping him smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts, would you?"
"Exactly," Kael said, "Is there a problem with that?"
Fred and George's first thought was that Kael had been swapped with a Polyjuice Potion.
But they quickly remembered that Charlie was guarding the door, and he would never make such a rookie mistake.
Moreover, Kael's demeanor and tone just now did not seem like he was joking.
With that in mind, it was likely true...
The two immediately became excited, eagerly crowding around Kael, pinning him to a chair, one massaging his shoulders, the other his legs, eager to please.
"Quick, tell us in detail..."
"We've long been displeased with Hogwarts for banning our prank products from entering the school."
"It's simply crushing our dreams."
"Completely denying us!"
"We're at irreconcilable odds with those school regulations!"
They were so impassioned, as if Kael just needed to say the word, and they would lead the Death Eaters to storm the school and overthrow Dumbledore to create a brand-new Hogwarts.
"You guys are so brave...Does Mrs. Weasley know?" Kael asked in a calm tone.
"Of course not."
"Otherwise, Mum would kill us..." Fred shrugged.
"Alright, quickly tell us your plan."
"It's not my plan; it's Malfoy's," Kael didn't hide it any longer and said directly, "He's planning to use a Vanishing Cabinet to create a new secret passage into Hogwarts."
"Vanishing Cabinet?" Fred rubbed his chin, "You mean the kind that connects two different places?"
"Besides that, is there anything else that could artificially create a passageway leading outside the school?"
"Impossible," George frowned. "Weren't all the Vanishing Cabinets destroyed long ago?
"I read in an Alchemy book that ever since an incident sixty years ago where someone used a Vanishing Cabinet to infiltrate the International Confederation of Wizards and kill an important witness, all of them were destroyed."
"That's right," Fred said. "And all the Alchemists capable of making Vanishing Cabinets were forced to sign a Magic Contract, swearing never to make another or pass on the method."
"Even for the Malfoy Family, getting such a thing is beyond their power."
"That's true," Kael said, "but coincidentally, there happens to be one overlooked Vanishing Cabinet at Hogwarts."
"Malfoy found it?" Fred's expression turned serious. "No way, I have to tell Dad."
"Don't be hasty." This time it was Kael's turn to stop him, "Malfoy didn't find it; I did."
Fred and George stopped in their tracks.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Kael continued, "However, I've already given it to Malfoy."
