Chapter 239: luxury way to travel
Chapter 239 Luxurious Ways of Travel
After realizing that Fred and George were just joking, Kyle handed over Laton to the two of them.
But Laton was still a little worried, flying in the air and watching them warily.
“Hey, we were really just joking.” Fred said awkwardly.
But Laton acted as if he didn’t hear it.
"Who asked you to say that in front of the owl?" Kyle said: "But it has already promised to deliver things to you."
“What does it need to eat every day, owl nuts?” George asked.
Errol did not need to eat owl food and nuts. If necessary, they would go to Diagon Alley to buy some.
"There is no need to feed it, it will find food by itself." Kyle said: "Just feed it some water every time you come back after delivering the things."
"I think it's better to buy some..." Fred smiled bitterly: "Just think of it as an apology."
“You can, too.” Kyle smiled.
In front of the owl, he told him to let it follow another owl. No wonder Raton was so wary of them.
Let alone Laton, even Errol would have to ignore them for a few days.
…
“By the way, when will you come back.”
Fred glanced at the attic of Kyle's house with some nostalgia.
“This week, our mother has discovered us twice while making quick-acting candies... It was a disaster.”
"I can't say for sure." Kyle thought for a while and said, "Maybe it will only be a day or two. I am just a guest this time, so it shouldn't be too long."
“That’s good, we still have a lot of new ideas we want to try...”
“At home, my mother will never allow it.”
…
After seeing off Fred and George, Kyle was ready to go back and continue having breakfast.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an extra person in the living room.
And he knew this person.
“Professor Dumbledore?”
Kyle subconsciously asked: "When did you come here!"
“Just now, you were chatting with Mr. Weasley.”
Dumbledore said with a smile: "Chris originally wanted to call you, but I think it's better to let you finish. After all, what we have to do is not in a hurry."
"Sorry, Professor, I didn't pay attention." Kyle walked in, "So, you're here to pick me up this time?"
“I would really like to take over this job, but due to some other trivial matters, I can’t leave here yet.”
Kyle nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
He knew that Dumbledore was definitely not here to chat, and he just wanted to wait in peace.
Kyle sat next to him and said half-jokingly: "Isn't it because of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
“I have to say, you are really smart.”
Dumbledore sighed, "It's so difficult to find a suitable professor. I have to spend a lot of time on it every year.
I have visited some old friends these days, but almost all of them are not at home, and the remaining few do not open the door to me.
To be honest, this feeling is really terrible. "
“This is only temporary, Albus.”
Chris smiled and said: "It won't be like this when you go again in September. Would you like a cup of black tea?"
He poured Dumbledore a cup of tea, and Kyle handed over the jar with sugar cubes next to him.
After drinking tea, Dumbledore's tone became noticeably lighter. "However, these days are not completely fruitless. Duge recommended a person to me, and the other person seems to be very interested in this position."
“Oh?” Kyle raised his eyebrows.
“It will definitely not be a dark wizard this time, I promise.” Dumbledore emphasized. “He is very famous in the wizarding world, and like you, he is a recipient of the Order of Merlin.”
"I don't doubt your vision." Kyle pretended to be serious: "So, we already have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
"Not yet." Dumbledore thought for a while, "The number of new teaching materials requested by the other party is quite large, and the price is quite high. I have been hesitating to see if anyone else is willing to take the job."
“What if not…”
“Then it can only be him.”
Dumbledore finished drinking the black tea and glanced out the window.
“Oh, it’s almost time.” He said with a smile: “You may have to stay there for a long time this time. Are everything ready?”
“Of course, Professor.” Kyle patted his deformed lizard skin bag.
He gave Newt's box to Dumbledore when he left school, and now it only contains an ordinary item of about the same size.
It has also been cast with a traceless stretching charm. Although it is not big, it is enough to carry luggage.
“So Fox sent me there?” Kyle asked.
"This is also a way." Dumbledore shook his head, "But I think you may not like the way the Phoenix travels. To be honest, it is a bit too rude for wizards, and even I can't get used to it."
“We have better options.”
As he spoke, Dumbledore took out a bright red stone fragment and placed it on the table.
"Magic stone?"
"It's a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone, Kyle." Dumbledore explained: "The Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed and it no longer has any magical functions.
However, we found another use for it...portkeys. "
“It’s amazing. Portkeys made from magic stone fragments are quite stable and are the best choice for long-distance travel.”
Kyle’s eyelids twitched.
Using fragments of the magic stone to make a door key...what's the difference between using gold coins to make a door key?
Alas, it is indeed a big man who has lived for more than 600 years, just luxury.
Dumbledore glanced out the window again.
"Are you ready, Kyle...you should know how to use the portkey."
Kyle nodded and reached out to pick up the pieces of the magic stone on the table.
A cold feeling spread from the palm of my hand.
“Oh, and this.”
At this time, Dumbledore suddenly thought of something and stuffed an envelope into Kyle's pocket.
“I’ll open it after I get to France…”
Kyle only heard this sentence, and didn’t know anything else after that.
He only felt someone pushed him hard from behind, and then his feet lifted off the ground and flew up.
In just a blink of an eye, Kyle disappeared into the living room. He flew forward like a gust of wind, unable to see anything clearly in front of his eyes.
This is the first time Kyle has used a portkey. Unlike disembodiment, the portkey is more like pulling him forward at an incredible speed.
However, compared to the feeling of being stuffed into a drum washing machine through Apparition, this method is much more friendly.
Although it is still not very comfortable, at least there is no lingering dizziness, and it is still within the acceptable range.
Just like this, I don’t know how long it took, but Kyle suddenly felt his body become lighter, and then fell heavily to the ground.
