Chapter 338: Golden Gallon Award
Chapter 338 Golden Galleons Award
“Oh… Mr. Scamander is going to take you to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary?”
Chris looked at the letter just delivered by the owl and the expectant Kyle in front of him, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
“Do you agree with me going?” Kyle asked.
"If you want to, we have no reason to stop it." Chris smiled, "In fact, I also received an invitation."
He found a letter from the cabinet in the living room.
“I knew it…” Kyle said subconsciously.
On the way back, he wondered if Chris had also received an invitation.
As a student of Scamander and the deputy director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic, Chris is relatively well-known in the magical animal circle.
Especially after the incident two years ago, when he and Newt returned the smuggled magical animals to their original places, they gained a lot of reputation.
It’s not surprising to be invited this time.
“So, am I with you?”
“No, with Mr. Scamander, I may be a little later.”
Chris shook his head, "Fudge seems to take this matter very seriously. He wants me to go to Romania on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.
So I had to start from the ministry and complete a series of cumbersome handovers with the Romanian Ministry of Magic before I could go to the protected area. "
“You can tell it’s Fudge’s style.”
Dianna walked over to Chris and sat down, "He probably thinks doing this can improve his prestige."
"Maybe." Chris took the hot chocolate from her and said nonchalantly: "Although he may not be happy to say this, Mr. Barty Crouch's name is usually more useful in the Ministry of Magic abroad. Some."
Dianna poured Kyle another cup of hot chocolate.
“I’m not opposed to you going to Romania to learn more,” she said, “but you still have to make some necessary preparations... How many times can your ring be used?”
“Twice.” Kyle raised his hand.
During the holidays last year, he used Apparition to avoid the over-enthusiastic Norbert.
“Give it to me,” said Diana. “It’s better to be safe just in case.”
“Okay.” Kyle nodded and then handed the ring to Diana.
“Is it possible to apparate in a protected area?”
"Yes." Chris explained: "The Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary is very large, and it is almost impossible to completely prohibit disembodiment."
And there is no need for this. Dragon keepers have special methods that can detect the magical reactions within the range. They only need to focus on the dragon eggs and young dragons...
As for adult fire dragons, few people dare to take a chance on them, let alone steal them silently. "
Kyle thought about it and found that this was indeed the case.
For such a long time, the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary has never lost a fire dragon. Even the Australian opal eye two years ago was obtained by Oren's group from other places.
Furthermore, he also heard that the selection of dragon breeders is very strict. Except that no certificate is required, other aspects are almost the same as selecting an Auror.
I don’t know if it’s true.
After finishing the hot chocolate in the cup, Kyle went back to the room upstairs.
He didn't know how long he would stay in Romania this time. He had to finish the assignments and the paper for "Transfiguration Today" within a month.
The assignment was okay, Kyle finished it in just a few days, which was very easy, but the professional paper was different.
There was a reason why Professor McGonagall gave him two months.
This kind of academic paper requires careful logic. Every time he puts forward a point of view, he needs to use a large amount of theoretical basis to verify its feasibility from many aspects.
After that, he will conduct many experiments, record the complete process in detail, and study and analyze the final results.
…
Although the Most Promising Newcomer Award is for students at Hogwarts, and these aspects are much more relaxed, Kyle still bought more than a dozen books on transfiguration, and it took him nearly two weeks to finally Finished writing the paper.
July was almost over when Kyle stepped outside again. At the same time, something big happened at the Weasley house next door.
“Kyle, come and take a look at this!”
“Haha! I dare say you won’t believe it!”
Fred and George ran over in a hurry and shoved a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of Kyle.
“Congratulations to Arthur Weasley, for winning the annual Daily Prophet’s Golden Galleons…”
There is also a photo below. Mr. Weasley and Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, are standing together. Both of them are smiling happily.
“How many Galleons…” Kyle asked.
“Seven hundred.” Fred danced excitedly. “In previous years, it was five hundred, but they felt there were too few people, so they increased the bonus.”
“We have participated before,” George said, “but we have only won the guessing prize.”
“There are twelve sikos in total…”
“The last time I tried to guess the new Minister of Magic, I gave them all back...”
It can be seen that Fred and George are really happy. This is the first time they are so happy after the house elf Dobby was taken away by Kyle.
In other words, everyone in the Weasley family is happy.
When Kyle followed them to the Burrow, he even saw Percy. Normally, he would be in his room at this time instead of chatting with Ginny here.
“Oh, I almost forgot about the real thing…” Fred patted his head when he returned to the Burrow.
“Kyle, mom is going to use this money to visit Bill. You can come with us.”
"Yes, dear." Mrs. Weasley also came over, "Seven hundred galleons, this trip will be great."
"I can't wait..." Ginny held her face in her hands, "Do you think Bill will take us to see the pyramids?"
"of course…"
Everyone was chattering and discussing.
“Sorry, Mrs. Weasley.” Kyle sighed, “I am going to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania with Mr. Scamander in August, so I may not be able to travel with you.”
“Romania?” Ginny asked in surprise: “Are you going to visit Charlie?”
Their older brother Charlie Weasley went to Romania to study fire dragons after graduation.
"You can put it that way." Kyle smiled: "I'm also going to let him be my guide."
“Mom, why don’t we go to Romania?” George suddenly said, “I’ve never seen a fire dragon before.”
His statement was also agreed by everyone.
It doesn’t matter where they go, because whether it’s the fire dragon or the pyramid, they are curious about it.
"If you want to see the fire dragon, we can go again next year, but this year we will go to see Bill as planned."
At this time, Mr. Weasley came down from upstairs, "A big event is going to happen in Romania recently. The Fire Dragon Sanctuary is no longer open to the public. Even if we go there, we won't be able to see Charlie."
“But why can Kyle…”
"Oh?" Mr. Weasley was not surprised and asked naturally: "Are you going with your father or Mr. Scamander?"
“Mr. Scamander,” Kyle said with a smile.
“I think so...those people will definitely invite him.”
Fred was even more curious, and he looked at Kyle and Mr. Weasley dissatisfied.
"Please, can someone explain to us? Why Kyle can see Charlie but we can't..."
“Also, what’s the big deal in Romania? Can’t we really change the itinerary?”
