Chapter 398: The Favored Music Classroom
Christmas dinner was very sumptuous, probably to let Kyle feel the festive atmosphere. The house elf Tata made a table full of delicious food.
"You're welcome, kid, just go ahead and eat." Nico's wife, Perenelle, said with a smile.
As for herself, she only ate a piece of ham, a small plate of pea shoots and half a piece of pudding, and then put down the tableware.
Nico didn't come to eat at all. Since he got the crown, he locked himself in the previous room and didn't come out all afternoon.
Fortunately, Kyle had the box with him and Norbert was there, so he didn’t have to worry about the food on the table going to waste.
After the dinner, Kyle stayed at Nicoléme’s manor.
The manor is very big, but you can always find interesting things here and you will never feel bored at all.
Kyle prefers to lie on a sofa that can change shape freely, taking apart simple alchemy items and putting them back together.
Or you can lie on a sofa that can be freely changed in shape and enjoy operas and concerts from the last century.
Like the old house in Paris, there is also a room-sized "pensieve" here, which is specially used by Nico to enjoy operas.
But he has been busy with other things recently. Perenel prefers to take care of the flowers and plants in the manor, so this place is cheaper for Kyle.
…
Just like that, the fulfilling and enjoyable vacation seemed to have passed in an instant.
Two weeks later, Kyle came here as usual, ready to enjoy the grand opera performances of 1791 one last time.
But as soon as he reached the door, Tata suddenly walked over from the side.
“Sir, Principal Dumbledore is here,” Tata said.
"Professor Dumbledore..." Kyle asked, "He should be here to see Nico."
“Tata doesn’t know.” The elf shook his head, “But the master hasn’t come out yet. Sir, do you want to take a look?”
“That’s okay, let’s go and have a look.”
When Kyle followed Tata to the foyer, Dumbledore was chatting happily with Perenelle.
“Yes, I knit them all myself, including the sweaters and gloves.”
“Great workmanship,” said Perenelle with a smile.
“I almost want to retire.” Dumbledore said with a smile: “Opening a sock shop in Hogsmeade seems like a good idea.”
“I’m afraid some people won’t agree.”
“Not now…but I will retire eventually.”
At this time, Dumbledore also saw Kyle walking with Tata, and immediately asked with a smile: "How are you doing here?"
“It was great,” Kyle said. “Nico left those operas and concerts that I couldn’t get enough of. I wanted to take that room with me.”
"It seems that you have discovered the biggest treasure here." Dumbledore blinked and whispered: "And you are not the only one who has this idea. I have wanted to add a music classroom to Hogwarts from a long time ago. ”
“I support you, Professor!” Kyle laughed.
The two were blatantly discussing how to dig out the room. Perenel next to them just looked at them with a smile and said nothing.
Only Tata looked a little nervous, afraid that they would really dig that room away.
“It seems that I will prepare a lock in the future...”
Just as the two were discussing how to transport the room back to Hogwarts, a door not far away suddenly opened, and Nico staggered out of it, looking like he might fall down at any time. .
However, he seemed to be in good spirits, and said half-jokingly: "Those operas and concerts are the most important things to me, and I can't let you guys steal them."
Then he looked at Kyle again. "I have prepared the ingredients for the potion, but it will take a long time to cook, probably about half a year. I will write to you then."
"Potion?" Dumbledore looked at Kyle and asked curiously: "Are you here to ask Nico to help you brew the elixir?"
As far as he knew, only the Fuling Elixir only took half a year.
“No, it’s another magic potion.” Nico said.
For some unknown reason, he did not mention Ravenclaw's diadem and Horcruxes, but vaguely said that he wanted to help Kyle repair an ancient magical item.
Dumbledore didn't suspect anything. He had guessed before that Kyle's visit to Nico was most likely related to alchemy. There was nothing surprising about it.
Moreover, there is another thing on his mind now.
“That’s it.” Dumbledore nodded and said casually:
“I just wanted to say that if you need Felixir, you can definitely ask Professor Snape. I don’t think he will refuse.”
Looking for Snape?
Elixir of Fortune?
Kyle shrugged, not quite agreeing with Dumbledore's words.
Let's put it this way, if he dares to open this mouth, the best result is probably to be kicked out...or to listen to a strange taunt first, and then be kicked out.
Moreover, even if Snape agreed for the first time and actually gave him a bottle of Felixir, Kyle would not dare to use it.
Who knows if there is something else mixed in it.
Kyle is quite aware of this.
At this time, Tata brought black tea. Dumbledore looked at Nico several times and hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but ask.
“Nico, about that matter…”
“I knew you were going to ask this.” Nico turned around and walked towards the room again, “Follow me, I just found a new direction a few days ago.”
Dumbledore quickly stood up and followed him, but when he passed Kyle, he paused briefly, turned around and said:
“I suggest you leave now. You should be able to finish opening the gifts piled up in the dormitory before the dinner begins.
“Or you can go to another opera, but remember not to be late. We’ll see you at the banquet.”
After saying that, he hurriedly followed Nico into the room.
Kyle slapped his forehead in confusion,
No wonder he always felt that something was missing. Now he finally remembered that he hadn’t received a Christmas gift yet.
Various protective magics have been cast around Nicoléme's manor, including not only the Fidelity Charm, but also some ancient magics that Kyle couldn't name.
Under this kind of protection, it would be impossible for an ordinary owl to find his location.
When he thought about the gifts in the dormitory, Kyle couldn't sit still.
…
Just like when we came here, we will also take a Yeqi carriage on our way back.
Under Tata's care, the three Thestrals were in good condition and soon took off carrying the carriage.
Kyle stuck his head out of the window and waved.
After the carriage flew a certain distance, the manor disappeared and turned into an open space with only stones.
In addition, the three Thestrals seemed to have lost their way for a moment and wandered around for a while before finally finding their way back to Hogwarts.
