Chapter 352 Respect the aesthetics of every wizard

After coming out of Flourish and Blotts, Kyle bought some other things before going to the Fantastic Beasts store to find Harry and his friends.

Hermione had always said she wanted to buy an owl, but in the end she bought a fat ginger cat named Crookshanks.

To be honest, this cat is really ugly. Its face is as flat as if someone stepped on it while sleeping.

In addition, its fur is very long, so when you look at it from the side, you can hardly see the outline of any facial features, it is basically flat.

Maybe wizards have different aesthetics. In the eyes of others, it may be a cardboard box with fur, but Hermione likes it very much and thinks it is more beautiful than any cat.

Okay, everyone has their own preferences for radishes and vegetables...

In line with the principle of respecting every different aesthetic, Kyle did not raise any objections and just nodded in agreement.

The same goes for Harry next to him.

As for Ron, he was in no mood.

The store clerk here didn't have a good solution for his mouse. After finding out that Ron didn't plan to get a new pet, he perfunctorily recommended a mouse strengthening drug to him.

"Do you think this is useful?"

On the way back, Ron held his mouse in one hand and the bottle of potion in the other, wondering: "I feel it is far worse than the tonic Kyle gave me before."

"Get rid of the feeling." Kyle said: "To put it bluntly, this thing is sugar water with some red amaranth juice added. I can make a big bucket of it in minutes. By the way, how much did you pay for it."

"It's very expensive..." Ron said with a grimace, "Two whole Sickles!"

"You're really making money." Kyle shrugged, "You can still make money even if you sell this thing for two knuts."

Ron's face turned even darker.

Unfortunately, when he was in the store, he gave Banban a sip of potion, so returning it would definitely be impossible.

He looked at the wilting Banban and asked, "Can I buy tonics from you in the future?"

"Of course, you can do it anytime, and it doesn't cost any money."

Kyle noticed that when Ron held Scabbers in his hand, the cat named Crookshanks just glanced lazily at the mouse, then turned its persimmon face to the side and continued to flick its tail. , looking completely uninterested.

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, they found Mr. Weasley sitting at the bar reading the Daily Prophet.

"Harry, Kyle!" He looked up and said with a smile, "You are all here. How have you been these days?"

"Very well, thank you," Harry said.

"Great." Kyle sat next to him.

"I heard from Charlie that you helped a lot." Mr. Weasley looked at Kyle up and down. "Fortunately, you were not injured. Molly kept complaining that they shouldn't let a child like you participate in such dangerous things. among."

"Actually, it's not as dangerous as imagined."

Kyle smiled and said: "And Mr. Scamander and my father are here. When the fire dragon approaches, I just need to stand behind them."

"makes sense."

"Wait, danger? Fire dragon?" Ron frowned, "What on earth are you talking about, Kyle met a fire dragon in Romania?"

Hermione and Harry were also curious.

"There's more than one..." Mr. Weasley roughly told what he knew.

Anyway, the matter over there is over, and there is no need to keep it secret any longer.

A melee of dozens of fire dragons...magical animal masters from all over the world...and the last poacher...

These experiences made them stunned for a while.

Hermione originally thought that her trip to France was exciting enough, but when compared with Kyle, it immediately became much duller, even boring.

"More than a dozen masters of magical beasts..." she sighed: "It would be great if I also went to Romania."

"No." Mr. Weasley put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand and shook his head: "At that time, tourists were prohibited from entering the reserve. Even if they went there, it would be useless. The most they could do was wander around the nearby gathering place. .”

"Speaking of the gathering place...I brought you gifts." Kyle opened the leather bag and took out the things he had prepared in advance.

A dragonwood cane for Mr. Weasley.

Last year at Flourish and Blotts, Mr. Weasley almost suffered from the lack of melee weapons, so Kyle picked this one out.

This kind of wood is strong and thick, and can be used to hit the opponent's head directly during a fight. The damage is not much worse than a stun spell.

"This is awesome."

Mr. Weasley held his cane and waved it from time to time, obviously enjoying it.

The ones given to Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all fire dragon badges.

The material is dragon scales, which are engraved with the appearance of a fire dragon and can move. It is considered one of the most representative souvenirs.

After a few people thanked them, they immediately put them on their robes.

At this moment, Harry suddenly noticed the picture of Sirius Black staring at him in the newspaper.

"He hasn't been caught yet?"

"No." Mr. Weasley put down his cane and his face became serious. "The Ministry has transferred us all from our normal posts and is going all out to capture him, but so far there has been no progress."

"Is there any reward if we catch him?" Ron asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ron." Mr. Weasley looked very nervous, "There is no way Black will be caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard. Don't do anything stupid."

At this moment, Mrs. Weasley walked into the bar carrying a large bag, followed by Fred and George, Percy, who had just become the Head Boy, and Ginny, the youngest child of the Weasley family.

"Hi Kyle!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

As soon as Fred and George came in, they went straight to Kyle, shook his hand, and said, "It's wonderful to see you, old man."

"It's wonderful."

Percy frowned.

"That's enough of you two," said Mrs. Weasley, "Stop trying to imitate Percy."

She stepped forward and hugged Kyle happily.

"Honey, it's so good to see you."

"Me too, Mrs. Weasley," Kyle said.

"So, here's our gift!" At this time, both hands reached out at the same time.

"What gift?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

"Stop pretending." Fred showed a confident expression, "I noticed it right after I walked in. Dad's cane."

"And Ron's badge." George said, "They didn't have these things on them just now."

Kyle smiled and took out the gifts prepared for them, as well as for Mrs. Weasley, Percy and Ginny.

But when it was given to Percy, he acted a little too solemnly, and pretended to shake Kyle's hand, "Thank you so much, I feel very honored."

The tone and demeanor were almost exactly the same as the Romanian Ministry of Magic official who gave them the door key.

Fred and George were imitating him and making all kinds of funny expressions.

Mrs. Weasley scolded them disapprovingly.

…

That night, instead of returning to the Burrow, the Weasley family decided to spend the night at the Leaky Cauldron.

Mr. Weasley originally wanted Kyle to live here, but Kyle thought about it and refused.

"I met Chris before I came here," said Mr. Weasley, "and he agreed to your staying here for one night."

"But I haven't packed my things yet," Kyle said. "I haven't brought many of the things I need with me, including books and homework."

Of course it’s not like Kyle didn’t bring his homework with him. His luggage has been in the box since two years ago.

He just didn't want to be watched.

Kyle had discovered just now that there was someone in the corner who kept looking at them from time to time.

There was a man at the bar who read the newspaper for half an hour without turning a page.

There is also the old witch drinking mead. Just a few minutes ago, the same position, the same mead, but sitting there was a middle-aged witch.

If his guess was correct, these people should be Aurors who came to protect Harry.

Including Mr. Weasley, but he has another task... to send Harry to King's Cross Station in a more reasonable way tomorrow.

Kyle didn't want to be stared at by so many Aurors. It felt really awkward to think about it.

Because books and homework were mentioned, Mrs. Weasley stopped insisting, but she did not agree with Kyle going back by himself and insisted on waiting until Chris came over.

Just wait all day.

Chris didn't come back from the Ministry of Magic until they had finished dinner.

"What a pity, Arthur, I wanted to have a drink with you." Chris pulled Kyle and said, "There are too many reports to write, and the ministry is anxious to..."

"I understand." Mr. Weasley winked cryptically, "And I can't drink right now."

"Yes, that's true..."

Chris sighed, "See you at the Ministry tomorrow then."

After saying that, he took Kyle and left the Leaky Cauldron.
