Chapter 124: two cakes
Chapter 124 Two cakes
At the end of July, the village of St. Catchpore welcomed a special guest.
Hagrid was discharged from the hospital. With the help of Newt and his therapist, he remembered everything that had happened before. At the same time, I also learned about the events in the Forbidden Forest at the end of the semester from other professors.
Hagrid couldn’t believe that Kyle’s two life-threatening encounters a month ago were actually related to him.
“It’s all my fault…this idiot!”
In the living room of Kyle's house, Hagrid covered his face with his hands and sobbed: "Is it because of me that you almost died in the Forbidden Forest? Or because of me, you met a werewolf in St. Mungo's again. I should be kicked out." Hogwarts, stay a Muggle for the rest of your life!"
Hagrid was trembling all over. Because of sadness and regret, the nearly four-meter-tall giant was crying like a child who had his lollipop taken away. Big tears seeped into his beard.
"Hagrid, calm down." Kyle handed him a tablecloth and comforted him: "Wipe your face, don't forget that you were also a victim in Oren's matter, and I also compared it with that note. The content on it is not written by you, is it?"
Kyle glanced at his sofa with some distress.
Carrying Hagrid was already a very heavy job for him, and with Hagrid's shaking... Kyle could clearly hear a heart-breaking creaking sound coming from the sofa, and it seemed that it was about to hit him at any time. A strike is possible.
"But you almost died!" Hagrid said with sobs, "It was me who told Oren Luwei what happened, so he had the chance to deceive you."
"He always has a way." Kyle said: "Don't forget that he is my Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He can always find a reason to take me to the Forbidden Forest."
"But you will definitely be prepared for other excuses!" Hagrid's shoulders were still shaking, "And St. Mungo's Nubuat was the werewolf I only met when you came to see me."
“It was an accident.” Kyle shook his head and said, “And luckily he was hit by me. Otherwise, how many innocent patients do you think would have died that day...or turned into werewolves?
We have successfully resolved a major crisis, Hagrid.
In addition, I should also thank you. Because of the werewolf incident, I will probably be awarded the Order of Merlin soon. Dean Sacia promised that she will be my nominee. "
"Running Gorgon, Sir Merlin..." Hagrid finally raised his head and looked at Kyle in shock and said: "You are probably the youngest medalist."
"Who knows." Kyle shrugged, "Eat a candy, it might make you feel better."
"Thank you, Kyle." Hagrid took the toffee from Kyle, wiped his nose with the back of his hand and said, "This reminds me that I also brought you a gift."
Kyle looked a little nervous and frowned: "It can't be a new flavor of ferret sandwich."
Hagrid finally managed to laugh, "If you like that, I can make it for you next time, but not today."
He took out a big box from behind and said, "I just realized that your birthday is tomorrow too.
Happy birthday to you in advance, Kyle. This is a cake I made myself. "
Kyle opened the box, and inside was a large chocolate cake sprinkled with frosting, with green sugar juice written on it: "Happy birthday to Harry?"
Hagrid wrote the word wrong, but that’s what it meant.
But that’s not the point.
Kyle squinted his eyes, his face full of confusion and confusion: "Is this... for me?"
When did he change his name? Do Chris and Diana know about it?
"Of course, you don't like it...Sorry, I got the wrong one."
Hagrid looked at the words on the cake, patted his forehead with enough force to knock over a cow, and took out a box from another inner pocket of his coat.
“This is for you.”
Same frosted chocolate cake, same typo, but the syrup on top is yellow, and also replaced with Kyle’s name.
“It was your birthday and little Harry’s, and I mixed up the two cakes.”
“Thank you Hagrid, I love it.”
Kyle cut a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth on the spot, and then... nothing more. A strong sweetness rises straight from the mouth to Tianling Gai, and it feels like taking a sip of concentrated syrup.
Sure enough, he shouldn’t eat any of the food Hagrid gave him!
Kyle gritted his teeth and swallowed the small bite of cake with difficulty.
"How is the taste."
“Awesome.” Kyle gave a thumbs up and said, “I’ve never had such a sweet cake.”
"As long as you like it." Hagrid said happily: "Don't you want to eat some more? There are still many."
“No, no, now is not the time.” Kyle shook his head repeatedly: “I’m going to share it with my friends tomorrow.
Such a delicious cake, it would be a pity if Fred and George missed it, and Cedric is coming back soon, so I plan to leave a piece for him too. "
“Yes, the best thing is to eat it with friends.” Hagrid smiled: “If you like it, you can come to me anytime after school starts.”
"Ahem... definitely, definitely." Kyle felt his throat tightening and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you have prepared a cake. Are you going to give it to Potter?"
"Yes, Dumbledore agreed that I would take him to Diagon Alley, but..." Hagrid frowned and said, "I was supposed to go tomorrow, but for some reason, the admission notice was never sent. It was in his hands. So Dumbledore asked me to go over and take a look in advance to avoid any accidents."
Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "That's really something wrong."
“Yes, so I will go to Surrey, London in the afternoon and deliver the letter to him in person.” Hagrid continued: “You know, Harry can’t miss the start of Hogwarts.”
“Don’t worry so much, it’s also the owl’s problem.” Kyle looked out the window, thought for a while and said: “Some Muggles don’t like birds, maybe they drove away the owls that sent the letters.
Let's do this, you give me the letter, I'll ask Raton to help deliver it, and you can just take him to Diagon Alley when the time comes. "
“Would it be too much trouble?”
Hagrid was a little hesitant, but he still wanted to hand the letter to Harry himself.
"It's not troublesome." Kyle waved his hand and said: "It is the tradition of Hogwarts for the owl to deliver the admission notice. It is very memorable, and every little wizard can only experience it once. Once you miss it, you will never have it again. It’s the second time.”
After hearing what Kyle said, Hagrid was suddenly stunned.
Yeah...how could he forget this.
"Okay." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then took out a light yellow envelope and handed it to Kyle. "Then I'll trouble you."
“It’s a small matter.” Kyle accepted the envelope.
After that, Hagrid stayed for a while and then prepared to leave.
Before he went out, Kyle suddenly asked: "By the way, Hagrid, what do you think of the toffee just now?"
"Well, I haven't eaten it yet." Hagrid said with a smile: "I'm going to give it to Harry to try. He must not have eaten the candy from the magical world."
…”
庍bar.
After Hagrid left, Kyle called Raton and handed him the admission notice. By the way, I took off the toffee that was secretly stuck next to the wax seal.
“Be careful, that family is not very friendly and may have weapons.”
