Chapter 503: Don’t understand, but respect
Chapter 503 Don’t understand, but respect
As Kyle left the room and returned to the common room, the sudden noise that filled his ears almost made him fall over on his back.
There was no need for Kyle to walk by himself, a dozen pairs of hands just dragged him in... Otherwise, there would probably be more if the space at the door was limited.
“Pah, pah, pah…”
Perhaps dozens of garland ribbons exploded in the common room, and everyone in Hufflepuff was screaming and cheering.
“Welcome to the warriors of Hogwarts!” Someone took the lead in shouting.
It was Fred and George who somehow got in and were excitedly preparing to open the second garland ribbon.
"It's really yours." Cedric squeezed through the crowd, "Professor Sprout came just now. She was dancing happily. This is the first time I have seen her so excited."
“We’ve got something to eat...just waiting for you.” Fred said, “Seriously, it’s so convenient to have the kitchen right next to you.”
"And butterbeer..." George said. "It only took the house elf in the kitchen five minutes to buy it from Hogsmeade. There are three large barrels."
Then, Kyle was pulled by a group of people to the table that was put together.
It was filled with all kinds of delicacies, almost as sumptuous as the banquet. There were also three butterbeer barrels about the same height as him placed next to the table, which was almost enough for everyone to drink all night.
Kyle wanted to say that he had eaten a lot at the banquet and was not hungry at all now, but no one listened to him.
Everyone surrounded him, butterbeer was constantly being pushed into his hand, and everyone wanted to know what the first event of the Triwizard Tournament would be.
“I don’t know either,” Kyle said. “They didn’t say anything. The only thing I know is that the game will start on November 30th.”
But there were too many people around, and there was always something he didn't hear. Kyle could only explain it over and over again... This was the first time he discovered that Hufflepuff's common room could actually accommodate so many people.
Two hours later, Fred and George put their hands on each other's shoulders and staggered away. Kyle finally got away from everyone and hurried back to the dormitory.
He really couldn’t drink anymore.
…
I don’t know how late they celebrated. When Kyle woke up on Sunday morning, there were only a few people in the common room.
The table and floor that were in a mess before have been cleaned up, leaving no cookie crumbs.
“You’re awake, do you want something to eat?” Kangna opened a tray on the table, which contained several slices of bread, sliced ham and a jug of pumpkin juice.
“Breakfast time is over. I just brought this from the kitchen.”
“Thank you,” Kyle said.
He stuffed the bread and ham into his mouth, leaving only the pumpkin juice untouched... This thing looked so much like butterbeer that he felt sick to his stomach just by looking at it.
“Do you want to go for a walk?” Worried about being surrounded by people again, Kyle decided to hide outside after breakfast.
“Okay,” said Connor.
The two passed through the barrel door and followed the foyer to the grounds outside the castle.
Durmstrang's big ship was parked in the Black Lake. As the waves swayed, Kyle doubted whether they could have a good rest at night.
“Where are you going?” Connor asked.
"How about going to Hagrid's place." Kyle thought for a moment, "It seems like we haven't been to his hut for a long time."
"good idea."
The two of them walked slowly along the grass toward the Forbidden Forest.
As they approached Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Connor suddenly asked, "Do you smell anything?"
"It seems like wine..." Kyle said. He looked around and quickly determined the source of the alcohol smell. Not far from the hut, there was a temporary enclosure, and Hagrid was moving large wooden barrels into it.
At this moment, Hagrid just turned around and saw Kyle and Connor walking over.
“Finally here.” He said pretending to be angry: “I thought you little guys had forgotten where I live.”
"Of course not, we are just too busy." Kyle said, "As you know, fifth grade is an O.W.L. year, and there are too many homeworks to finish."
“It’s really rare. I didn’t expect you to complain about having too much homework.” Hagrid said with a smile: “By the way, congratulations on becoming a warrior, I knew it must be you.”
“Thank you,” Kyle said, “What are you doing.”
“Prepare breakfast for these horses.” Hagrid pointed to the elephant-like rune horses in the paddock. “They only drink single malt whiskey. I got up early in the morning and went to Hogsmeade to buy it.
But it's all worth it... They're beautiful, aren't they. "
"Yeah..." Kyle leaned against the fence, staring unblinkingly at the rune horse inside.
Hagrid is right, these big guys are indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately they are from Beauxbatons, and there are not many of them...
Kyle shook his head and stopped reading.
At this time, Hagrid also moved the last barrel in. He opened the seal, and a strong smell of wine immediately wafted out.
"That's enough." Hagrid clapped his hands and walked out of the paddock. "This whiskey is enough for them to drink for a whole day."
“Do they only drink whiskey?” Connor asked.
"Of course not." Hagrid said, "They will still eat the grass here, and at night, I will also bring some fresh rue leaves... That's what Ms. Maxim said."
Inexplicably, Hagrid suddenly laughed.
“What’s wrong with you?” Connor asked. She always felt that Hagrid was acting strange today.
Especially because he seemed to have applied a large amount of something like lubricant to his hair, which made it look shiny. As for the effect...it was hard to describe, and Kangna decided not to comment.
"No, it's nothing." Hagrid said with a flustered face, "Do you want to drink some tea? Come over here quickly."
After saying that, he took two quick steps and took Kyle and Kangna back to the cabin not far away.
This place is much the same as when we came here before, with a huge wooden bed, a quilt made of rags, and the same huge wooden table and wooden chairs placed in front of the fire.
Hagrid started to make tea, but Kyle noticed a piece of clothing hanging on the wall. It was Hagrid's best...and ugliest one, a fluffy brown coat.
Next to it is a yellow and orange patterned tie.
This magical combination has never been seen by Kyle anywhere else.
Kanna also noticed that the two looked at each other in the same way, and neither of them expressed any opinions in a tacit understanding.
In fact, they have said that when Hagrid became a professor for the first time last year, he wore this suit. Kyle persuaded him more than once to go to Hogsmeade to change into a new suit. The boss lady has a very good taste and can always match the style that suits everyone.
But after all this time, Hagrid still likes this set the most, and he will turn it out whenever there is an important day.
How should I put it? Although I don’t understand it, just respect it.
Besides, these are not for them to see.
It is not easy for Hagrid, who is more than three meters tall, to meet someone who is about the same height and weight as him. It just so happens that Ms. Maxime of Beauxbatons is one of them. She is even half a head taller than Hagrid.
As people of the same type, perhaps they have something in common in their aesthetics, so they think this combination looks good... It is not impossible.
