Chapter 80: The little mouth is smeared with honey
Chapter 80 The little mouth is covered with honey
Facing the threat of two sophomores, the weak Kyle could only verbally sign a series of unequal treaties in order to avoid being bullied on campus.
“Mark your words, Kyle.”
Fred reminded: "You need to provide technical support for our Weasley joke products."
“And space.” George added: “You have to provide us with a safe place to store them during the holidays and make sure they don’t get discovered by Mum.”
"Of course, I'm happy to." Kyle smiled and said: "I will help you study those products. In addition, don't worry about the location... How about my room? If I put it there, Mrs. Weasley will definitely not find it. ."
"very good."
Fred and George nodded with satisfaction and let Kyle go.
"If you dare to deceive us..." Before leaving, Fred warned in a sinister manner: "The consequences will be serious!"
After saying that, the two of them stretched out a thumb at the same time and made a gesture on their necks.
After Kyle waited for them to leave, he walked to the Hufflepuff table leisurely like no one else.
“How was your vacation?”
"Not bad." Kyle glanced at Cedric and said, "I don't have to get up early or do homework. I just read books, plant grass, and pet small animals every day. This is simply the life I dream of."
Cedric looked a little envious;
"If I had known it, I wouldn't have gone back." He sighed: "Originally, my father said he would take me to France this holiday, but he was too busy and worked overtime almost all the time. He didn't have enough time at home every day. Five hours, no time at all.”
Cedric’s words surprised Kyle a little.
That shouldn’t be the case. Aren’t those smuggled magical animals already sent back by Chris and Newt? Why is Mr. Diggory still so busy?
And he hasn't heard of anything special happening recently, everything is calm.
Even the quarrel between Mr. Weasley and Lucius at the Ministry of Magic made the front page of the Daily Prophet.
If it were normal times, it would be great if such a trivial thing could occupy a corner.
It can be seen that there is really nothing to report in the magic world recently, and it feels like the years are quiet.
In this case, unless there is some special emergency, such as a magical animal hurting someone, Mr. Diggory will have at least five days of leave.
But if this happens, there is no way that there will be no movement at all in the Daily Prophet.
Cedric seemed to have noticed Kyle's doubts. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then whispered: "It's because of the Winged Demon... My father has been looking for traces of it."
"The Winged Demon..." Kyle frowned, and also lowered his voice: "Didn't that thing leave here already?"
“No, the Ministry of Magic is lying.”
Cedric said: “My dad had been drinking a bit on Christmas Day and seemed to think I was a colleague of his, so I took the opportunity to ask him a lot of questions.
He said that the Ministry of Magic had found no trace of the crocodile. "
Kyle shook his head and said, "But that's not what Newt said."
He might not believe it if it were anyone else, but Newt would never lie, especially when it came to matters related to magical animals.
Unless the safety of the wizarding world is at stake, let alone Fudge, not even Dumbledore... Well, this is really not necessarily the case. However, given Dumbledore’s character, there is a high probability that he would not say this to Newt just for the sake of a crocodile.
Unless Fudge is his biological son.
“I’ve asked this too,” Cedric said. “My dad said that Mr. Scamander’s original words were, “We didn’t find the Winged Devil. It’s probably hiding.”
But the photo provided to the Daily Prophet by the Ministry of Magic only contained the first half of the sentence, and they removed the second half. "
"Huh?" Kyle raised his eyebrows: "In order not to cause panic?"
"Yes, in order not to cause panic." Cedric spread his hands and said: "They even found a reason to send out Mr. Chris and Mr. Scamander, who had always been opposed to this."
Kyle touched his chin, and his previous doubts were cleared.
No wonder he always felt that something was wrong with Chris on this business trip. It turned out that this was the problem.
It’s just transporting some magical animals, so how could it be necessary for Chris and Newt to go together.
Let's just say Poison Sac Leopard and Australian Opal Eye. These two uncles are too dangerous and ordinary people can't handle them.
But what about those other magical animals?
It was a simple task that could be accomplished by just finding someone in an inaccessible remote mountain forest or sending two strikers, but it also fell on Chris and Newt.
Think about it, a Deputy Director of the Ministry of Magic, a Master of Magical Creatures who is well-known in the wizarding world. The two traveled thousands of kilometers together just to send an ordinary Bowtruckle back to its original place?
It’s just outrageous.
Under normal circumstances, let alone an ordinary Bowtruckle, even the Bowtruckle raised by Grindelwald would not be able to receive this treatment.
Kyle thought for a while and asked: "Then has your father found the curling-winged demon?"
“No.” Cedric shook his head and said, “My dad and the others have been searching for more than a month, but there is no clue at all.
But Minister Fudge keeps urging him, and even lost his temper two days ago, this ***"
Cedric is still very well-educated. When talking about keywords, he only speaks without making a sound, which fully demonstrates the qualities of a good little wizard.
But his mouth movements were very clear, and Kyle could see that he praised the other person's family tree in a very sweet language.
After smearing the honey on his lips, Cedric felt inexplicably better. He glanced in the direction of the teacher's chair and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Have you noticed that Professor Snape seems to be very angry today. "
"Have it?"
Kyle picked up a chicken leg and said without raising his head: "Maybe it's your imagination. He won't be angry one day."
"That's true, but..." Cedric glanced in the direction of the teacher's chair again and said, "I still think he is a little different today."
Snape on the stage looked as if he had drunk the wrong potion, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. Those sinister eyes kept scanning back and forth across the four dining tables.
As if he sensed that someone was looking at him, Snape suddenly looked towards Hufflepuff. Cedric was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
Beside him, Kyle was still eating the chicken drumsticks in his hand unhurriedly, and from time to time he would say a few words to Mikel, who was sitting on the other side of him.
