Chapter 237: Nicoléme's invitation
Chapter 237 Nicoléme’s Invitation
The Hogwarts Express passed through wheat fields and villages. In the box, Kyle put away his invisibility cloak. Next to him, Fred and George were playing wizard chess.
Different from the previous fun, both of them looked serious.
A few days ago, in order to prove that they were also capable of passing the giant chessboard array arranged by Professor McGonagall, they went to find Ron and wanted to compete with him in wizard chess.
As a result, the two of them were completely defeated, so much so that they almost doubted their lives.
Fred and George couldn't accept the fact that they lost to Ron, and immediately decided to regain their position during the holiday, and they were practicing at the moment.
However, Kyle felt that they were unlikely to succeed. After all, their talents were all focused on pranks and inventions, and their level of wizard chess could only be described as passable.
“What are your plans for the holidays?” At this time, Cedric suddenly asked.
“My father promised to take me to France.”
Qiu was the first to say, "After you said it last year, I've always wanted to go there and see it."
Cedric raised his eyebrows, "I guess you want to go see Beauxbatons..."
Qiu didn't refute, and nodded simply.
She has read in books that the architecture and overall style of Beauxbatons is the most beautiful among the three major magic schools in Europe. In particular, they have an astronomy tower made entirely of crystal.
Qiu heard that the crystal astronomical tower can not only retain and simulate the trajectory of the planets, but also change its own color according to the observed stars.
Fantastic.
Kyle beside him opened his mouth hesitantly.
He remembered that Beauxbatons seemed to be hidden.
Just like the Loyalty Charm, if you are not a student and have not been invited, you will not be able to see it even if you search the entire Pyrenees Mountains.
However, thinking that Cedric had already visited Beauxbatons once last year and saw Beauxbatons with his own eyes, Kyle said nothing more.
“I’m going to watch the game.” Cedric continued: “The fateful battle between the Vratsa Eagles and the Chadli Cannons… My dad also agreed to take me.
At the end of this month, do you want to go together? "
“I might still be in Paris at that time.” Qiu said with a smile.
Kanna also shook her head, "I might also go to the game, but it's not Quidditch, but the potions competition held every three years in Asia."
At this time, Fred, who was playing chess, suddenly looked up and asked: "Is it Professor Snape... who is taking you there?"
Snape and Connor were related, and they already knew that Snape had bought a house near her home. Connor told them personally.
How should I put it? Although it was a bit unexpected, it was not much of a surprise.
After all, Connor is the only non-Slytherin student who can earn points from Snape...
They have thought about this possibility for a long time, but they just couldn't believe it.
As for Connor’s previous worries that Fred and George would alienate her, that didn’t happen either.
They just hate Snape, and it has nothing to do with Connor.
And in the wizarding world, there are many people who are related. Strictly speaking, Weasley and Malfoy are also somewhat related, but this does not affect their father and Lucius Malfoy who fight every day.
"Yes..." Kang Na nodded slightly: "He thinks I should watch more of these games."
“Okay…” Cedric nodded.
Fred and George then also declined Cedric's invitation. They had to study more Weasley joke products during the holidays and couldn't go anywhere.
As for Kyle, after hearing the name of the Chadli Artillery Team, he curled his lips in disdain.
Cedric had no intention of inviting Kyle at all, but just asked him about his holiday plans. "I don't know... I might have to go out for a while." Kyle thought for a while.
When he was in the principal's office that day, McPhail said that Nicolas Flamel wanted to come with him this time, but his current physical condition really did not allow him to make a long journey, so he gave up.
However, he wrote a letter to Kyle, and McPhail helped bring it over.
In addition to some words of congratulations and blessings, the letter also invited Kyle to his home and said that if Kyle was willing, someone would pick him up in a week.
Kyle naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, so he immediately wrote a reply letter and Fox helped send it over.
Nicholas Flamel's address is strictly confidential and has been cast under the Fidelity Charm. Only Dumbledore's Phoenix can find it.
To this end, Kyle bribed Fox with a bag full of rue leaves and five pieces of precious cloak grass, and then he agreed to help deliver the letter.
If nothing else happens, he should also go to France in a week.
"Oh... you are all busy." George sighed, suddenly reaching out and overturning the chess piece in front of him, "This will make Fred and I very unsociable."
Fred, who was holding the "Queen" in his hand and preparing to give George the final blow, raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to win!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." George smiled: "I'm just too disappointed... everyone has abandoned us, do you understand this feeling?"
Fred curled his lips expressionlessly.
He knew very well what George was thinking in his heart. This guy just wanted to cheat because he thought the same thing.
"It doesn't matter..." Fred said with a smile: "The chess pieces can return to their original positions by themselves, and we will continue."
"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play chess now." George turned his head and said: "And those chess pieces are not honest. Who knows whether they will choose a favorable position for themselves."
“Ho!” Fred laughed strangely.
This reason is great, why didn't he think of it before? Sure enough, no matter how shameless, he still can't compare to George.
…
As the train was about to arrive at King's Cross Station, Fred seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "If I write you a letter, can you receive it?"
"It should be possible." Cedric thought for a moment and said, "The post office has a long-distance mail delivery service, but the price is much more expensive."
"I'll forget it." Kyle spread his hands and said, "The owl may not be able to find my address. If you want to write me a letter, you can put the envelope into my house... I will read it when I come back."
“Ha, who wants to write to you?” Fred laughed.
George also said with disgust: "Yeah, we won't waste galleons on you."
The two of them were at loggerheads over a game of chess just now, but now they suddenly reconciled.
"Oh, I remember..." Kyle looked at them and said lightly: "Cedric, should someone carry the trophy and fly around Hogwarts?"
Cedric suppressed a smile: "Yes, we have to tap dance."
“Tsk tsk, tap dancing on the broomstick... This is really cool. I will definitely take pictures when the time comes.”
Fred and George immediately fell silent.
This is indeed what they once said... But they didn't expect at the time that Kyle would actually receive the Order of Merlin in his second grade.
It’s too late to regret now.
…
Amidst the laughter of several people, the train gradually slowed down and finally stopped at platform 9...
