Chapter 509: Professor Locknear
Chapter 509 Professor Locknear
It was a gift from Sirius, could it be... Kyle seemed to have thought of something and immediately opened the package.
Sure enough, just as he guessed, there was a beautifully crafted broom inside.
Firebolt.
On the day Sirius was acquitted, he wanted to buy it and give it to Kyle, but Kyle refused at the time because there was no Quidditch match this year.
Unexpectedly, he bought it a few months later.
"Firebolt, who gave this to you as a warrior gift?" Cedric shouted excitedly: "We also have a Firebolt, now...oh, no, there will be no Quidditch match this year."
Cedric seemed a little lost, but quickly picked himself up again.
No matter what, it is always good to have a Firebolt. They can definitely use it again next year. Then he will want to see if Gryffindor... especially Fred and George can continue to be arrogant.
Mikel was also very excited. He looked at the Firebolt carefully, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.
"What a shame..." he muttered under his breath: "It would have been nice to have brought a broom to the Triwizard Tournament."
…
Soon, everyone knew that Kyle had received a Firebolt.
But because they were all thinking about the Triwizard Tournament tomorrow, and Harry also received a Firebolt last year, the novelty had worn off, so this incident did not cause much of a sensation.
Kyle took another look at the note written by Sirius and didn't say anything. He just put the Firebolt back in the dormitory and went to class.
However, what he didn't expect was that today's surprise was not just a Firebolt.
The last class in the morning was the Care of Magical Creatures class. Hagrid got a large group of fire crabs from nowhere. These creatures carrying gems on their backs quickly attracted everyone's interest.
While everyone was busy feeding lettuce to the fire crabs, Hagrid quietly came to Kyle's side.
He leaned down and pretended to observe the lettuce leaves on the ground, and said in a very low voice: "Come to my hut at midnight today to find me. Remember not to be discovered by others."
Then Hagrid straightened up and said loudly: "Very good, Kyle, you have completely mastered the technique of feeding fire crabs." He blinked his collar and left.
“Why did Hagrid ask you to find him?” Connor asked.
"You probably want to show me something." Kyle said, "We can come together at night...if you don't want to sleep."
“But is that okay?” Conna said. “What if someone finds out.”
"Don't worry." Kyle said with a smile: "At this time, the invisibility cloak will come in handy. I know the Disguise Charm, and I can hide myself well without that thing."
Kanna’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
So that afternoon, Kyle handed the invisibility cloak to Connor. At midnight, Kyle used the Disillusionment Spell to quietly leave the dormitory, passed through the barrel door of the common room, and came to the corridor outside.
He waited outside for a while. After about a few minutes, the barrel door next to him was opened a small crack again.
“Kanna?” Kyle asked tentatively in a low voice.
"it's me."
Suddenly a head appeared in mid-air. Kangna said nervously: "How about it, you weren't discovered."
"No." Kyle said, "They made up for their homework until early in the morning yesterday, and went to bed at eleven o'clock today."
"Me too."
Afterwards, Kangna put on the invisibility cloak again, and the two walked through the castle as planned.
It was dark outside, and they walked along the field towards the light from Hagrid's hut.
However, they are not the only ones who will come here tonight. The door of the hut is ajar, and Kyle can clearly hear the laughter and conversations coming from far away.
“Oops, someone is here.” Kangna said nervously, “What should we do?”
“Let’s wait and see.” Kyle said, and the two took a few steps forward.
At this moment, Yaya's roar suddenly came from the hut.
The talking stopped and Hagrid walked out the door.
Then another person came out and asked doubtfully: "Is anyone here?"
"No, there is none." Hagrid looked around and said in a loud voice: "I think it must be the cat nives. Yaya likes to play with the cat nives in the Forbidden Forest."
“Mao Lizi, oh, it’s so interesting here. I like the Forbidden Forest.” The man raised his head and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp. "I have to go Hagrid, nice to meet you, see you tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, Locknir." Hagrid stopped him, "I'll take you to see something good, you've never seen it before."
"What?"
“You will know in a moment.” Hagrid said mysteriously, “But we still have to call Ms. Maxim, I promised her.”
The two of them walked towards Beauxbatons' carriage again. Along the way, Hagrid kept looking back frequently, as if to confirm something.
It wasn't until he felt his arm being hit by a stone that he felt relieved and sped up to the carriage.
Not far behind the two of them, Kyle threw the remaining stones back to the ground and explained to Connor: "That person is Professor Locknear of Beauxbatons. We have met before."
Kyle was talking about the time he went to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania. Locknir, like Newt, was an expert invited by the Sanctuary.
At that time, Kyle also made a lot of money from him using those badly damaged fire dragon scales.
“Are there other professors from Beauxbatons here?” Connor asked doubtfully, “I thought it was only Ms. Maxim.”
"He must have just arrived." Kyle said, "After all, if he had been there from the beginning, he would have appeared in the auditorium, but none of us had seen him before today."
While talking, Ms. Maxim also came out. Just as Locknir was about to step forward, Hagrid had already extended a hand in advance and helped her down the golden steps.
Then the three of them walked around the paddock where the rune horse was and walked into the Forbidden Forest.
Kyle and Connor were not far behind them, and their conversations could be heard occasionally.
“Hagrid, Locknir, where are you taking me?”
“I don’t know, Headmaster,” said Locknir. “I was just about to go back to bed... To be honest, it’s much colder here than Beauxbatons.”
"If you go back now, you will definitely regret it." Hagrid said in a rough voice, with a hint of undisguised excitement, "You will like it, it is worth seeing, believe me, but... remember to keep it secret and don't tell anyone. Anyone say, okay? You're not supposed to know."
“Of course I won’t say it,” said Ms. Maxim.
“That’s right.”
The three of them continued to walk forward. After about half an hour, they had walked far around the Forbidden Forest. Looking back, neither Hagrid's hut nor the castle was gone.
We walked for another ten minutes.
“Did you hear anything?”
Several men were shouting loudly in front, and Kangna tilted her head to hear what they said clearly.
Then a deafening shrill roar.
The three people in front immediately quickened their pace.
Kyle and Connor just trotted along and didn’t stop until they passed through a bush in front.
There was an open space in front of them, and Kangna couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
“Oh my God!”
Fortunately, there were shouts everywhere, and no one noticed that there were two people hiding here.
Kanna quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "That's the fire dragon!"
Kyle nodded, he had seen it.
Two ferocious-looking adult fire dragons were locked in an enclosure made of thick wooden boards, roaring and snorting.
And there were not only fire dragons, but also a dozen strong dragon keepers. They desperately pulled on the chains on the fire dragons, trying to subdue them.
"Maybe the first task of the Triwizard Tournament is to deal with these fire dragons." Kangna said with some worry.
“Honestly, I don’t know.” Kyle frowned.
Although he had guessed before that the one Hagrid wanted to take them to see was the fire dragon, he couldn't figure out... why there were only two fire dragons here.
Yes, there are only two fire dragons in front of me...a Swedish Brachynosaurus and a Hungarian tree peak. Apart from that, there are not even any extra dragon eggs.
But there are three warriors in the Triwizard Tournament. How to divide the two dragons?
