Chapter 75: Kyle's Garden
Chapter 75 Kyle’s Garden
With Kyle's help, Hagrid finally delivered all the Christmas trees to the Great Hall before the dinner.
By the time they arrived, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were already waiting in the auditorium.
“Hagrid, you’re finally here, these are the last two...oh, great levitation spell, Mr. Chopper, plus five points for Hufflepuff.”
Professor Flitwick was originally wondering why Hagrid could resist two Christmas trees so easily, but when he got closer, he found Kyle holding a wand next to him.
“If final exams were a levitating spell...I’d give you an “O” right now.”
Professor Flitwick winked at Kyle, then also used the floating spell to take over the two fir trees and put them in the appropriate position.
Professor McGonagall wove the mistletoe into hanging ribbons, filling the last gap on the wall.
A few minutes later, a large number of students began to pour into the auditorium, and the dinner officially began.
At the dinner table, Cedric looked at Kyle in surprise and said, "What, you said you won't go back for Christmas?"
"Yeah." Kyle nodded and said, "There's no way, there's no one at home, and there's no point in going back. It's better to stay at Hogwarts."
Chris is responsible for returning the magical animals he captured previously to their original habitats. Recently, he has been traveling around the world with Uncle Newt.
The Department of Mysteries seems to have gone on field duty as well. Diana sent him a letter a few days ago, saying that she might not be able to come back for Christmas, but the gifts would definitely be delivered on time.
Chris and Diana are both not at home, so it would be pointless for Kyle to go back. He might as well stay at Hogwarts, where he can at least have something to do.
For example, cultivating a relationship with Lu Wei, or watering the two ornamental plants he raised.
“How about you go to my house.” Cedric thought for a moment and said, “My dad will definitely welcome you.”
“Next time.” Kyle shook his head and said, “I just agreed with Hagrid that I would help him take care of the animals during the holidays.”
Cedric looked a little disappointed.
Kyle is just the opposite. To be honest, he doesn't want to face Mr. Diggory, a baby showman, let alone spend two weeks with him.
Even just thinking about it, Kyle felt a headache. It was enough for Chris to bear this kind of treatment alone.
In order to divert Cedric's attention and make him forget about this topic, Kyle turned to look at Connor and asked: "What about you, are you going back for the holidays?"
Kanna didn't speak, just shook her head slightly.
When Kyle saw this, he didn’t ask any more questions.
…
After the dinner, the semester came to an end.
The next day, the little wizards took the train back to King's Cross Station.
Mikel and Ryan also went home, leaving Kyle alone in the dormitory. Even the originally bustling common room was much deserted at this time.
This feeling is also good.
Kyle was sitting on a sofa near the stove, roasting a potato with the skin on, along with some flatbread, mushrooms, and some thinly sliced beef.
Although when Kyle went to the kitchen to get these ingredients, the house elves offered to help bake them directly, he refused.
All he wants is the process, followed by eating.
Kyle held the roasting fork and waited for the potatoes to turn black before taking them out.
Peel off the skin after cooling, and it will be sweet, soft and glutinous in one bite. It is delicious.
It means that the heat may not have been controlled well, and the innermost part is still raw. Kyle dug out the raw piece with a spoon and threw it to a mouse not far away.
"Kyle..." Connor glared at him fiercely, "Don't give Porky those weird things!"
"It's just potatoes, what's weird about it?" Kyle waved his hand and said indifferently: "Besides, who's field mouse doesn't eat potatoes!"
As if he was deliberately trying to antagonize him, the mouse named Pochi took one look at the piece of raw potato, turned around and went somewhere else, without any intention of tasting it.
"Good guy, a mouse is still picky about food." Kyle was a little embarrassed and said to Kangna seriously: "I think you should starve it a few times."
Kanna ignored him and took Pochi out of the common room.
It's the Christmas holiday, and the caretaker's cat won't be wandering around the castle corridors all the time, so she plans to take this opportunity to go out and walk her pet, and let it visit Hogwarts by the way.
Having been here for so long, we can't keep it locked in the dormitory forever.
After Kangna left, Kyle was the only one left in the lounge. He was a little bored and after finishing what he had on hand, he didn't stay here anymore. Instead, he got up and went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
After three months of Kyle's hard work, in addition to biting cabbage, there are also white fresh flowers, rue, belladonna, mistletoe, hellebore... and a beautiful golden hydrangea.
There is nothing much to say about the first three. They are all common magical plants. Their seeds can be bought in Hogsmeade. Kyle directly asked someone to bring a large bag back.
As for the last one...it comes from the Hufflepuff common room.
One night, Kyle couldn't help it anymore, so he cut a twig with buds from the lush pot of golden hydrangea...
It's a really small one, about an inch long, and it won't have any impact on it.
Originally, I just planted it here with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect that it actually succeeded.
Although he looks very young now, Kyle is already very satisfied. As long as he survives, he will eventually grow up.
Kyle went straight to the middle position.
The biting cabbage is growing very well. In three months, they have grown from seeds to the size of bludgers. The two rows of sharp teeth in the open mouth look very powerful. A bite is definitely enough. .
Kyle loosened the soil for them and shooed away the Billywig bug that had been lingering above his head.
“I’m not free now, go and play by yourself.”
A few days ago, he accidentally rescued the Billywig bug from Mrs. Norris's mouth that was almost served as lunch.
At that time, there was still a long **** on the little guy's body. It must have been caught by Mrs. Lorris...Kyle simply brought it here and treated it with the help of white blood.
Then...it just wouldn't leave.
Fortunately, the little guy was quite obedient. After Kyle said this, he flew away obediently.
This place is very big, with many magical plants. Most importantly, there is no cat that jumps very high. It likes...
After Kyle finished loosening the soil for the biting cabbage, he walked around the room again.
He still felt that this place was a bit empty. Although he still had a lot of seeds of cinnamon and rue in his hand, it would be a bit of a waste if he only planted ordinary magic plants in such a good place.
Kyle touched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the large open space on the left side of the room that he had specially set aside.
If he remembered correctly, the Devil's Net should be learned in the herbal medicine class soon.
