Chapter 73 The first snow at Hogwarts
Over the next period of time, Kyle became more and more interested in night outings, a healthful activity. In recent weeks, he had gone out every night, more frequently than Fred and George.
This may also be related to the recent experiences of the twins.
The pile of Yue Chi beast excrement they had brought back so hard before was unexpectedly thrown into their hands.
No one wants it in Little Wizard.
The related stores in Diagon Alley don't accept it.
But the twins were unwilling to let it go, and in the end they didn't know which of their connections was wrong. They actually ran to the greenhouse and wanted to sell the goods to Professor Sprout at a low price.
As expected, their night outing was discovered, and the consequences were very serious.
Professor Sprout just glanced at it and knew where the things in their hands came from.
With such a large number, they could only come from the Forbidden Forest.
Of course, Professor Sprout also knew the time to collect the Moon Chi Beast feces.
It's just a night trip to the Forbidden Forest, but you actually dare to show off in front of the professor?
Even the gentle Professor Prout couldn't stand this kind of provocative behavior and took them directly to Professor McGonagall's office.
Although the twins tried to explain that they picked it up near Hagrid's pumpkin patch, no one believed them.
Because Hagrid had been busy with other things at that time and had not taken care of the pumpkin patch for a long time.
Professor McGonagall was disappointed and angry, and ordered them to clean the bathroom for a week.
Filch even wanted to move his office next to Gryffindor Tower and watch them all the time.
But this way, it was more convenient for Kyle.
After Mikel and Ryan fell into a deep sleep, Kyle quietly climbed out of the bed and tiptoed out of the common room.
After putting on the silver-green scarf as usual, Kyle took out his wand and tapped his forehead lightly.
"Apparition."
A cold feeling quickly spread from the top of his head, as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him.
Immediately afterwards, Kyle's body appeared with the same color lines as the wall behind him.
Illusion spell.
Kyle has been studying this spell since he came back from the Forbidden Forest last time.
Although the invisibility cloak is convenient and easy to use, it also has many disadvantages. If you are not careful or walk too fast, your feet may be exposed.
In comparison, the Illusion Body Curse is more useful.
This spell is a bit troublesome. It took him three days to get started, and the color of his body is not smooth enough when changing with the environment.
Fortunately, Hogwarts Castle is dark at night, so this small flaw has no impact.
After everything was ready, Kyle came to the library door on the second floor with ease.
This was his latest night out spot.
He likes to read books, but some books are not suitable for reading during the day. They must be read secretly alone when it is dark.
The library door was closed, and a large brass lock hung between the two doors.
Kyle took out the master key and unlocked the brass lock with a slight twist. Then he carefully pushed open a gap and squeezed sideways into the library.
The library at night was dark and eerie.
"Flashes of light."
Kyle held up his wand and walked through the rows of bookshelves until he reached the back half of the library before stopping in front of a sign.
On the sign, the words "Restricted Book Zone" look very tempting.
Kyle carefully stepped over the rope that separated the books from the rest of the collection, and using the light from his wand, read the titles.
In order to prevent discovery or any accidents, Kyle is also very particular when choosing books.
Any covers with pictures (including but not limited to portraits, magical animals, various symbols...) are not allowed.
I don’t want anything with nothing on the cover.
Don’t want the thick and big ones.
Don't use anything with strange marks.
Don’t use it if it looks too old... This is mainly because I’m afraid it will be damaged when turning over the book, and it will be troublesome if it cannot be restored.
Kyle walked through the restricted book area for a while, and when he reached the sixth row of bookshelves, he pulled out a black book with gold-gilded calligraphy.
The book was very thin, and the squiggles on the cover had peeled off a lot. Kyle could only barely make out the meaning of the last two words.
"Explore..."
That's it.
After choosing the book, Kyle sat directly on the floor just like he did the previous few times he came here, opened it and started reading slowly.
Compared with ordinary books, the contents in the forbidden book area are generally much more obscure. When he encounters something that he cannot understand or understand, Kyle will use the shorthand quill he carries with him to copy down the contents.
Although this method is much more troublesome than using the copy spell directly, it is safer than using it.
Who knows if there are any weird restrictions in these books. To be conservative, it is better not to cast magic spells on them.
…
By the time Kyle left the library, it was already two hours later.
On the way back, Kyle unexpectedly met Peeves, but with the protection of the Illusion Curse, the other party did not notice him.
The next morning, Kyle, who originally planned to sleep until 8:50, was pulled out of bed by his two roommates at 7:30.
"Wake up, Kyle, wake up!"
Not paying attention to Kyle's reaction at all, the two of them pulled him up from the bed without any explanation, and then each of them dragged him by one arm to the window.
"Look, it's snowing!"
Mikel opened the window without any precaution, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit Kyle directly on the face.
"hiss……"
Kyle shivered and lost all sleep in an instant.
Kyle rubbed his face, feeling that this scene looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Let's go out and have a look!" Mikel said excitedly: "This is the first snow in Hogwarts."
Kyle shook his head in denial.
What's so good about snow? It's better to take a nap while you have this time. He slept very late yesterday, and today is not the weekend. What if he gets sleepy during class.
But Mikel and Ryan don't think so.
They kept urging Kyle to wash up and change clothes as if he didn't want to leave.
"This is the first snow we have experienced since arriving at Hogwarts, it is very meaningful!"
Mikel said: "Sleeping now is too wasteful. There will be plenty of time to catch up on sleep in the History of Magic class later."
"Yes, today's first lesson is History of Magic."
Thinking of this, Kyle stopped insisting, changed his clothes and walked out of the dormitory with them.
In just one night, the snow on the ground reached more than a foot thick.
When they came to the open space outside Hogwarts Castle, there were already many people here.
Kyle also saw Fred and George, who were making snow lions in the clearing with a few Gryffindors...?
Well, in theory, what they piled up should be lions, but they are a bit ugly and look a lot like a Philobor caterpillar doing yoga.
