Chapter 377: Mist Gem
Chapter 377 The Mist Gem
Because they were addicted to playing with dogs, by the time Kyle and Cedric arrived at the Three Broomsticks, everyone else had already arrived.
After the two of them sat down, Fred pushed two bottles of butterbeer in front of them and asked curiously: "How many things did you buy and why did you stay there for so long?"
"If it's a little later, we'll be ready to go find you two."
“We didn’t buy much,” Cedric said. “But when we came out, we found an interesting **** dog, which delayed us a bit.”
"Black dog..." George frowned and whispered: "Could it be, unknown?"
“It’s probably just a stray dog from outside that came here accidentally.” Cedric said, “It might also have been brought by a customer of the Pig’s Head Bar. DeVos’ shop is right next to the bar.”
"That should be it." Fred nodded and said, "There are everyone there. George and I last saw someone hiding a five-foot-long bone in his robe."
“We guess it’s from a troll…”
“That smell is really disgusting…”
Fred put down the cup in his hand, "We had always wanted to go in and have a look, but we gave up the idea temporarily after that time."
“Because of that troll bone?” Qiu asked.
“No, because we were kicked out by the bar owner.” George shrugged, “That old guy’s temper was too bad…”
A few people were chatting and drinking butterbeer.
When Kyle passed by DeVos' store again later, the black dog was gone, and it never appeared again until the end of the visit.
When the allotted time was up, everyone followed Professor McGonagall back to the castle.
Kyle didn’t even return to the common room and ran directly to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, followed by the others.
Cedric told about the mist gem before, and everyone was curious.
By chance, Kyle was also ready to test its effect, so they simply came along.
“I need a big room with a strong wind.”
Kyle walked back and forth three times in front of the corridor, and a door appeared.
They walked in and were immediately blown around by a strong wind.
Kanna was almost blown out, but luckily Kyle caught her in time.
"The wind here is too strong...you should make it clearer..." Fred shouted at the top of his lungs.
Only in this way can his voice be heard.
“It’s already here…that’s it…and it’s better if the wind is stronger…”
Kyle had no intention of moving forward, so he put his hand into his pocket, took out a mist gem and crushed it directly.
Those fragments began to disintegrate and turned into large tracts of thick fog in the air, filling the surrounding area.
In just a few seconds, several people were in a hazy white world.
The howling wind disappeared and seemed to be blocked by the thick fog.
Fred rubbed his eyes. He found that he could only see George, who was nearest, and a little bit of Cedric.
"It's worth twenty galleons..." George's voice came to my ears, "Kyle, where are you?"
“Here.” Kyle and Connor walked over, followed by Qiu and Cedric.
"It's amazing..." Cedric sighed: "The wind that almost blew me away was actually blocked by these fog..."
"You get what you pay for." Fred said with a smile: "This is twenty galleons... If a little wind can blow it away, then Kyle can go to Devis to return it."
“I’ll try again.” Kyle took out his wand.
“Sweep the whirlwind quickly!”
“Clear water is like a spring!”
“The flames are blazing!”
…
Kyle kept changing various magic spells, but the surrounding thick fog did not see any change. Even if it did, it would soon return to its original state, and the visibility would always remain less than one meter away.
George also tried a few spells and asked curiously: "Kyle, how big do you think this area is." "I don't know." Kyle shook his head: "The shopkeeper didn't say."
“How about we test it?” Fred said.
His idea was also agreed by everyone.
Without hesitation, since he was idle anyway, Kyle used his wand to conjure a long rope and tied it to the door handle. Then he and everyone else walked forward along the lines on the floor.
Half an hour later, they stopped in front of a wall.
“Is it the end?”
Kyle touched the wall and changed the direction.
But this time it was faster, and they stopped again in only ten minutes.
Kyle found with some embarrassment that he seemed to have underestimated the scope of the dense fog.
He just asked for a big room, but a room, no matter how big it is, has an end.
"I should have said something bigger, like a forest or something..." Kyle patted his head.
They had no choice but to start walking back along the rope.
“Now it is at least certain that the scope of the Mist Gem is indeed not small.”
Fred said, "Although we are walking very slowly, we can pass at least five Quidditch pitches in half an hour."
“Eight…” said Cedric, “I’m sure.”
George said with a smile: "What would happen if you threw one on the field during the Quidditch match?"
"That must be very interesting." Fred also smiled, "You can't see the people or the goal. They will find themselves in Hogsmeade as they fly."
“Maybe you can go to Honeydukes Candy Store and look for it, maybe you can find a raspberry-flavored Golden Snitch.”
“Kyle, you could really give it a try…”
After saying that, the two of them laughed even louder.
“I don’t know if Honeydukes has the Snitch, but I know I’ll lose twenty galleons.”
Kyle looked back at them and said, "And he might even be imprisoned by Professor McGonagall."
"makes sense…"
Fred sighed, "Confinement doesn't matter, but twenty Galleons is really too expensive."
He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the thick fog.
A few people returned to the door and waited for a while...A ray of breeze suddenly blew on them.
Then the wind got stronger and stronger, and the dense fog began to dissipate.
“It should be almost done.”
After their robes were blown up, Kyle opened the door and walked out.
“Exactly two hours.” Kangna looked at the time.
"Two hours, twenty galleons...this kind of prop is too luxurious." Fred smacked his lips.
“When I think about it now, I feel a little distressed.” George said, “Twenty galleons can buy ten boxes of rotten eggs, which can’t be used in a whole school year.”
“Ten boxes of rotten eggs in one school year?” Fred said exaggeratedly. “If we really use that many, I guarantee Filch will kill us.”
“Then it will take two academic years…”
“Wait!” At this time, Qiu seemed to suddenly think of something and asked: “What time is it now? Is the Halloween dinner already...”
“Oh, no!” Kangna finally realized and said quickly: “Ten past seven…the dinner started ten minutes ago!”
