Chapter 101: memory and letter
Chapter 101 Memory and Letters
There was no one in the dark common room, and it seemed that Connor and Cedric's confinement was not over yet.
Kyle didn't turn on the light, just sitting quietly on a sofa thinking about something.
There were too many things that happened tonight, and he needed to sort them out.
First of all, Kyle was sure that the person they saw during the night tour was Hagrid, and it could not have been someone else pretending to be him.
Even if someone could use Polyjuice Potion to imitate it, then the Fang who was with him at that time could not be an Animagus.
Polyjuice Potion doesn't work on animals after all.
But if Hagrid was himself at that time, then why would he say that he had never been to the Forbidden Forest at that time.
And Dumbledore’s words.
Memory, forgetting spell?
Or maybe... the venom of the Winged Demon.
Kyle took out a small piece of wood with corrosion marks from his pocket, put it in his hand and rubbed it gently.
This was something he secretly cut from the tree trunk before when Hagrid wasn't paying attention.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the wooden block also glowed with a light blue fluorescence.
The color is indeed right, but Kyle remembered that the venom of the Winged Demon is not corrosive. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door to the lounge was opened again, and two figures walked in one after the other.
“Kyle, you are indeed here.”
Cedric lowered his voice and said, "Filch left just now and came back angrily. He must have gone to find you."
Kyle put away the block of wood and nodded: "I did see him when I came back."
“What did you do to make him so angry?” Cedric asked curiously.
"It's not me, it's Hagrid." Kyle shook his finger and said, "He was ruined by Hagrid."
"No wonder Filch is so angry. I remember he and Hagrid were always at odds with each other."
Cedric continued: "By the way, what is your confinement? Before, I thought we would definitely be able to come back before you.
Fred told me that five people cleaning the trophy room together had never happened before and it was so relaxing.
But Filch felt the same way, so he made us wipe it three times before agreeing to end the confinement. "
"I'm about the same." Kyle said: "I was taken to the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid and I went there to find something."
“Go to the Forbidden Forest, or at night?” Cedric was stunned.
He had thought about countless possibilities before, such as copying books, cleaning the classroom, wiping armor, etc., but he never thought that Kyle's confinement would actually involve going to the Forbidden Forest.
This is not the same, it is obviously too different!
Speaking of which, were they really imprisoned for the same thing?
Even though they had been to the Forbidden Forest once at night, it was only in the outermost area, and there was no danger even at night.
However, when looking for something with Hagrid, no matter how hard you think about it, you can’t just take a walk outside.
“Are you not hurt?” Kangna asked nervously.
"Of course not. If I was injured, I should be in the infirmary now." Kyle smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I also saw centaurs in the Forbidden Forest..."
Kyle told about what he saw in the Forbidden Forest, Cedric and Connor were stunned for a while.
Their expressions have gradually changed from worry to envy.
They also wanted to see the depths of the Forbidden Forest... The sky gradually became brighter, and the three of them stopped talking after feeling sleepy.
After returning to the dormitory, Kyle lay on the bed unable to sleep, so he took out the parchment and quill and wrote a letter in the moonlight.
Then he packed the letter, wrote the address and put it in front of Raton.
“It’s going to be a tough trip for you.” Kyle whispered: “Send this letter to Newt tomorrow morning. If he hasn’t come back yet, put the letter on the biggest tree at the door.
There is a Bowtruckle there, which will help keep the letters. "
Kyle still decided to find Newt, just in case the venom of the crocodile is indeed corrosive. After all, it is a magical creature, and it is not unusual for it to mutate.
I just don’t know if he’s back at this time...
It’s best to come back, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one.
Dumbledore already knew about this, so he didn’t need to worry about the rest.
Laton opened one eye and put his paw on the envelope.
After receiving the reply, Kyle lay down on the bed again, and this time he fell asleep quickly.
…
After that, neither Dumbledore nor Hagrid looked for him again, and Kyle was happy to have some time to rest. He suppressed his curiosity and began to concentrate on preparing for the final exam.
As exam week approaches, the castle seems to have changed overnight. Little wizards can be seen walking and practicing their wand movements everywhere.
This time in Hogwarts Castle is also the most dangerous time of the year, because there are always little wizards who subconsciously utter spells when waving their wands.
And there are quite a few such people. Kyle just walked from the lounge to the auditorium and already saw two unlucky guys accidentally injured by the curse.
Fortunately, the ones among them are only the levitating spell and the repairing spell, so you don't need to go to the school hospital.
Kyle carefully avoided the assassins hidden in the crowd and arrived at the auditorium without any danger.
The professors also knew about it.
There is no way. In almost every class, two or three little wizards are absent because they are sent to the school hospital. It is difficult for them not to know even if they want to.
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall strictly prohibited the young wizards from practicing wand movements in the corridor.
“What have you been doing?”
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said, "If you want to practice from now on, just find an empty classroom. If I see anyone unable to control their wand again, then he will be imprisoned for a week."
Compared to Professor McGonagall, Snape's approach was more direct. He told everyone that if anyone was absent from Potions class because of this incident, I'm sorry. All drug results will be immediately invalidated.
It’s just so unreasonable.
In addition, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Kyle always felt that Snape glanced at him when he said this.
With the professors' explicit prohibition, less than half a day passed, and all those castle assassins quickly disappeared.
By the time dinner was served, Hogwarts had once again returned to its previous calm and peaceful state, as if nothing had happened.
At the dinner table, Kyle cut the steak on the plate absentmindedly.
He was not worried that Snape would sneak up on him, but that he was worried about Rodon.
Five days have passed since the letter was sent, and Raton has not returned yet.
Five days, from Dorset to Hogwarts, even if you take the train, you can make several round trips.
