Chapter 59: Principal room
Chapter 59 Principal’s Office
Kyle and Connor returned to the castle not long after.
After they left, Hagrid sat in the wooden house and kept thinking until evening. Finally, he decided to follow Kyle's suggestion and send Lu Wei to the Forbidden Forest, and he would send him tonight.
Although I feel very sad to give up, there is nothing I can do about it. First of all, doing this can make Lu Wei feel better.
Lu Wei is happy, so is he.
Moreover, he has also thought about it. Kyle is right, the wind outside is indeed very tense now.
Earlier, Professor Oren of Defense Against the Dark Arts had complained to him when he came to the Forbidden Forest to look for teaching materials. After today's Daily Prophet was published, the Ministry of Magic almost took the matter to show that they attached great importance to it. All the strikers were sent to search for those magical animals whose origins could not be found.
As a result, he couldn't even buy textbooks for class, so he had to come to the Forbidden Forest to catch them himself.
Hagrid remembered that when Professor Oren said this, he almost exploded with anger, and yelled that Fudge was a fool in the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid only thought it was funny at the time, but now that he thought about it, he regretted not swearing a few words.
Because he bought Lu Wei in a bar, and there were a lot of people around at that time.
Although those people don’t know exactly what they bought, if one of them is unlucky enough to be caught by a striker, they will definitely insist that he bought a magical animal in order to escape guilt.
For those people, if they guess correctly they will get meritorious service, and if they guess wrong they will not lose anything. Why not do it.
So for Lu Wei's safety and to avoid causing trouble to Dumbledore, he could only send Lu Wei away.
Those thugs are not going to search the Forbidden Forest.
Of course, if they wanted to, Hagrid would definitely not stop them.
This is not necessary.
There are even werewolves and manticores in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, so there is nothing strange about a three-headed dog.
On the other side, Kyle, who returned to the castle, was sitting in the corner of the common room, picking through the pile of guardian branches.
"I wanted to ask just now." Kangna looked at Kyle's movements and asked curiously: "What are you doing picking up these dead branches? There are obviously a lot of them in the kitchen. You can get them anytime you want."
“It’s different, this is a guardian branch.” Kyle explained: “The guardian tree is a magical sorbus tree that can protect people who touch its trunk from attacks by dark creatures.”
Kanna blinked. Of course she knew this, but did it have anything to do with Kyle picking up branches?
Twigs, trunk... these are completely different things.
“I...forget it, you will know later.”
Kyle picked out a straight wooden stick and put it aside, and asked casually: "By the way, how do you know there are branches in the kitchen? Have you ever eaten there?"
The kitchen is so close, Kyle must have been there before, but every time he walked near the door, he was surrounded by the group of house elves.
The stove is located farther inside. If you want to see the whole thing clearly, you can only sit on the long tables.
With the enthusiasm of those house elves, if you don't eat there, you basically can't get there.
Because when you get halfway there, they can hang a whole cow on you.
“I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense...”
For some reason, Kangna's face suddenly turned red and she hesitated, "I, I was just curious and went to the kitchen to have a look!"
“That’s it.”
Kyle didn’t pay attention and was still picking out the protective branches. When he finally sorted them out, he realized that Kangna had returned to the dormitory at some point. And since he was the only one left in the common room, Kyle remembered that tomorrow was the weekend, so he simply packed up and returned to the dormitory.
He was not going to stay up late.
For Hufflepuff, tomorrow's weekend is a big day, because the Quidditch match starts, and the first game is them against Slytherin.
the next day.
In order to cheer for their college team, the little badgers got up before eight o'clock. After breakfast, they put on their neat school uniforms and carried the support flags they had made before, and headed to the Quidditch pitch on time. .
Kyle was originally one of them, but after eating breakfast, a fat ghost suddenly floated in front of him.
“Hello Kyle, I hope I didn’t disturb your breakfast.”
"Hello, Friar." Kyle responded politely: "Would you like to watch Quidditch together? The possibility of Hufflepuff winning the championship this year is very high."
"No, actually I prefer Gobstone." The fat monk said with some regret: "It's a pity that Hogwarts canceled this competition decades ago."
"I'm sorry, monk." Kyle said quickly: "I hope I didn't mess up your mood today."
“Of course not, child.” The fat monk said with a smile: “The best thing about becoming a ghost is that there is nothing worse than this, you don’t have to worry about it at all.
But you may have to go to the game a little later. If Dumbledore wants to see you, he will be in the principal's office on the eighth floor. The password is Butter Peanut Candy. "
Dumbledore is looking for himself?
This made Kyle a little surprised. He asked curiously: "Friar, do you know what the principal wants to see me for?"
"That's not clear." The fat monk shook his head and said, "I'm just helping to spread the word."
“Okay, I’ll go right away, see you monk.”
After Kyle said goodbye to the fat monk, he went straight to the eighth floor.
The principal is definitely going to find him. I just hope he won't delay watching the Quidditch match.
Although he had never been to the principal's office before, Kyle quickly found the ugly stone beast with his familiarity with the map.
“Buttery peanut candy.” Kyle read out the password.
Then the stone beast jumped to the side, and the wall behind it cracked in half, revealing a spiral staircase behind it.
The stairs move upward slowly, like an escalator.
Kyle stood up and followed the stairs to an oak door with a griffon-shaped door knocker on it.
Kyle knocked on a door with some anxiety. The door knocker seemed to come alive, flapping its wings and slowly opening the door.
It can only be said that it is indeed the principal's office. This method of opening the door is much better than knocking on a wooden barrel.
Kyle walked into the principal's office and looked around curiously.
The spacious circular room was filled with all kinds of funny little noises, and there were many strange silverware placed on the table, which were spinning and emitting small puffs of smoke.
Kyle didn't know what these things were for, but they were definitely not humidifiers.
There is a stone basin with strange symbols placed near the wall, and next to it, there is a huge mirror.
The mirror is very majestic, reaching to the ceiling, with a shiny golden frame, and two claw-shaped feet supporting it at the bottom.
