Chapter 491: Did Nico run away?
Chapter 491: Did Nico run away?
The next day, Fred and George blocked the door of the auditorium early in the morning, and they finally got their wish and came to Kyle's box again.
Cedric and Qiu also came together.
Compared to the silence yesterday when Kangna was the only one, this time the box was much more lively.
After Fred saw the vast space in the box, he immediately decided to have an adventure here.
Kyle did not refuse and watched as he and George ran happily into the forest until they disappeared completely.
"Is it really okay?" Cedric said with some worry: "They won't be in any danger."
"No!" Kyle waved his hand, "You have just seen the dangerous place, that is the open space."
After hearing Kyle's words, Qiu on the side once again thought of the large piece of biting cabbage he saw just now, and couldn't help but shudder.
Like Kang Na, she also blacklisted the empty space and secretly swore in her heart that she would never get closer to it no matter what.
However, Cedric was quite interested. I wonder if it was because the headmaster of Hufflepuff was a professor of Herbology. He was very interested in those magical plants and even planned to plant a Devil's Net himself to practice his skills.
By noon, the Weasley brothers also came back, but judging from their dejected looks, it was obvious that this adventure was completely different from what they had expected.
They did not find the fire dragon that they were longing for.
In fact, when they entered the box, Norbert did appear once, but after discovering that Kyle was accompanied by others, he turned around and flew away.
Fred and George only wanted to take the risk after seeing it disappear deep into the woods.
As a result, they wandered around for several hours without even seeing the shadow of the fire dragon.
Even when leaving the box, the two of them kept talking about this matter... After all, this is probably the only fire dragon they can come into contact with, and they don't have to worry about dangerous fire dragons.
It's a pity that Norbert didn't want to see them, and there was nothing Kyle could do about it.
…
But soon they no longer bothered with such trivial matters.
Because on Wednesday, Snape came back.
At breakfast that day, he opened the door and strode into the auditorium.
Looking at the familiar black cloak and cold eyes, many students couldn't help but sigh.
They thought they could finally get rid of Snape this school year. Some of them didn't even write their Potions homework during the holidays...including Fred and George.
However, the Slytherins seemed very happy. They stood up one after another and welcomed their dean with loud applause.
Kyle looked at Snape who walked next to Dumbledore.
He can appear in school, which proves that Regulus's problem should be solved. For Sirius, this is probably more joyful than him regaining his freedom.
But some people are not happy.
Throughout the morning, Mikel and Ryan were seizing every moment to make up for their Potions class homework. The first period of History of Magic was nothing. As long as they didn’t make too much noise in class, no one would care about anything they did.
But the second Transfiguration class was different. They were caught red-handed by Professor McGonagall. Not only was the Potions homework they just wrote confiscated, but even the Transfiguration homework was increased from five feet to eight feet. …The two of them almost cried on the spot.
"By the way..." After arranging their punishment, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle again, "The principal seems to have something to ask you. The password is Pepper Naughty."
"I understand, professor." Kyle nodded, not surprised. After walking out of the classroom, he separated from Kang Na and headed to the eighth floor alone.
The principal's office was quiet. The portraits on the wall were covered with thick velvet. Dumbledore was still sitting behind the desk, seemingly waiting for him.
"I think you should already know about Regulus. He is no longer the monster we saw at the beginning."
"I know." Kyle said, "I saw Professor Snape back in the morning."
"Yes..." Dumbledore said softly, "It took more than two months and it was more troublesome than I thought, but it was finally solved."
“Then what will happen to him... Regulus?” Kyle asked.
"I don't know either." Dumbledore shook his head. "Sirius means that he will arrange everything. At least until that person is completely eliminated, we don't need to do anything."
“Is that so?” Kyle said.
He knew that Dumbledore was talking about Voldemort. Although he didn't know why Sirius made such a decision, he didn't ask any more questions.
“You saved two innocent souls, Kyle.” Dumbledore stood up and said with a smile: “Helping Sirius regain his freedom and discovering the truth about Regulus, no matter what, is worthy of praise.
As an old wizard who once resisted Voldemort with everyone, I am very grateful for everything you have done for them. But as the principal, I can't give you extra points for things outside of school. "
“It’s okay, Professor.” Kyle shook his head.
After all, this happened during the holidays, and it has nothing directly to do with Hogwarts, so it is really not suitable for extra points.
"But..." Kyle thought for a while and suddenly said: "I hope you can grant me a request."
"Go ahead." Dumbledore said with a smile: "But I have to remind you, if you want to learn the spell I used before, you'd better change it. Don't forget that I promised to teach you. , and I have no intention of breaking my promise.”
"It's another request." Kyle said. "I hope you will let me deal with the item that Regulus replaced."
Kyle knew that Dumbledore's call to him this time was definitely not just because of the things he just mentioned, but probably because of the locket.
It was impossible for Dumbledore not to guess what it was. It was beyond expectation that he could endure it until now.
Sure enough, Dumbledore's expression became much more serious when he heard Kyle take the initiative to mention the locket.
After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Do you know what that is?"
"Of course I know, just like the diary." Kyle said, "But I have a solution."
Speaking of this, Kyle subconsciously thought of Nicoléme. It was originally promised that the crown would be returned to him in half a year, but it has been almost a year now and there is no news at all.
Kyle even wondered if he had run away with the crown.
But the problem is that he can’t ask.
Nicoléme’s manor was obviously protected by more than just the Loyalty Curse. Even though he had been there once, he still couldn’t remember the exact address.
So now he can only wait for Nicoléme to take the initiative to contact him.
