Chapter 53: Hagrid's letter
Chapter 53 Hagrid’s letter
Selling the map was undoubtedly a very successful act. The little wizards got convenience, the professors were in a good mood because no one was late anymore, and Kyle and others also made a small fortune. It can be said that everyone was happy.
If anyone was unhappy, it was probably Filch.
After Fred and George had enough money, the corridors would often smell like **** and eggs.
Filch was driven mad. He wanted to follow the twins all day just to catch them.
But Fred and George always found a way to get away from him.
Qiu and Kangna also got to know Kyle a lot because of this incident, especially Kangna. She no longer avoids Kyle in class.
Possibly because she is used to it, her social anxiety is no longer as serious as before. At least after getting the professor's extra points, she can calmly say thank you like others.
Hogwarts' first-year class schedule is still very relaxed. Under normal circumstances, there are only three classes a day.
But if you count homework, it’s a different story.
Little wizards must spend all their spare time in the library just to finish the assignments that are several feet long.
And the font size must not be too big, because the last smart guy who did this not only had five points deducted by Professor McGonagall, but also had his homework doubled, which caused him to have black circles under his eyes for a long time.
In the end, Professor McGonagall was afraid that he would be stuck in the classroom one day, so he canceled the punishment.
But since then no one has dared to play such a clever trick again.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Hums that may seem like a nightmare to others, seem to Kyle to be nothing short of easy.
It's just a paper, he has experience in this matter, and there is no plagiarism check for freshmen, so he can't write how he wants to.
Borrow some from several related books, add some dispensable sentences yourself, and then make a summary.
In less than twenty minutes, a perfect assignment was produced, and the professor even praised him for his rich reading.
With the exception of a certain Potions Professor who wishes to remain anonymous.
I don’t know why, but Kyle always felt that Snape was becoming more and more displeased with him, and would find reasons to deduct two points from him from time to time.
But Kyle had no choice but to avoid Snape as much as possible, and every time he deducted points, he bought a bottle of Potter's Quick Shampoo, planning to give it to him anonymously when he had enough. .
On Halloween, Kyle sat in the library and read as usual, until the dinner was about to start, when he came to Mrs. Pince holding the unfinished copy of "The Great Duel Master".
“How many days do you want to borrow this time?” Mrs. Pince asked without raising her head.
"one day."
"Um."
Since Kyle would come to borrow books every two days, Mrs. Pince had a good impression of him. She just simply wrote down his name and time and that was it.
Since today is Halloween, the auditorium was decorated with colorful decorations earlier.
Pumpkins carved into various shapes floated above the auditorium, directly filling the Halloween atmosphere.
A thousand bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling, and even a large cloud of bats hovered above the dining table.
Since it was not yet dinner time, the entire auditorium was noisy. Almost half of the people in the auditorium were gathered around the Gryffindor table.
Fred and George each donned a pumpkin head and imitated the signature moves of the Headless Hunters Club, which made everyone laugh.
The professors on the stage did not stop him, because they also watched with great interest. Dumbledore even happily took out the candy and wanted to exchange it with other professors.
It’s a pity that no one paid attention to him.
Even Professor Sprout, who has the best temper, declined the pile of cockroaches he offered.
"You went to the library again?" When Kyle sat at the Hufflepuff dining table, Cedric poked his head over and asked: "Duel books... What are you looking at this for?"
“Charms homework.”
Kyle handed the book in his hand to Cedric and said: "I have to add back the points I deducted in Potions class. The practical application of basic spells is what Professor Flitwick likes to see the most."
Cedric also knew that Kyle was being wildly targeted by Snape recently. He looked at him sympathetically and said, "Did you gain anything?"
“Don’t mention it.”
Kyle sighed: "Obviously, no wizard would use a lock-picking spell during a duel."
Cedric pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing on the spot. He had thought that Kyle's last lesson was a levitating spell, but it turned out to be a lock-picking spell.
Let alone duel masters, even first-year freshmen would not use lock-picking spells when fighting.
Thinking of this, his mouth tightened.
Kyle glanced at Cedric suspiciously, and his instinct told him that the other person must be thinking of something rude. But before he could say anything, an owl happened to land next to him.
It stretched out its paw and placed a piece of paper on the dinner plate in front of Kyle.
“For me?”
Kyle opened the note curiously. The handwriting on it was very sloppy and messy, but luckily it was still legible.
Dear Kelchouba.
I have collected some moon-crazy beast fertilizer. If you have time, can you come over on Friday (I remember you have no class that afternoon).
Hagrid.
After reading the contents of the note, Kyle was obviously stunned. He never expected that Hagrid would take the initiative to invite him to the cabin.
Seeing Kyle holding the note in a daze, Cedric, who had finished laughing secretly, asked curiously: "Who gave you the letter?"
“Hagrid,” Kyle said.
Cedric thought for a while and asked, "Is that the key keeper at the edge of the Forbidden Forest?"
“Yeah, that’s right,” Kyle replied.
“Why is he looking for you? You have known each other before?”
“The letter said that we collected some fertilizer from the Moon-Crazy Beast.” Kyle explained: “I planted two ornamental plants before and went to see him once.”
“Then can you take me with you when you go?” Cedric said, “I’m quite curious about it.”
“You can go if you want to, what’s the point.”
Kyle took out the quill he carried with him and wrote on the back of the note: "Okay, I will go there with my friends tomorrow afternoon."
He fed the owl some more nuts and let it fly back.
After that, the dinner party just started.
Because it’s Halloween, the food is much richer than usual. In addition to a whole fragrant roast beef leg, there are also pumpkin pie and caramel apples.
Various candies are also indispensable. Kyle glanced at it and was glad that there were no piles of cockroaches. It seemed that the principal's unique hobby had not spread to the kitchen.
