Chapter 902 Christmas, a special gift

The next day, Sunday, Hogwarts had been immersed in a joyful atmosphere since the morning.

The Quidditch match has begun, and it's the fateful battle between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

Especially for the little lions, they have been eager to get rid of the shadow brought by Hufflepuff on the court a few months ago.

In this atmosphere, the one hundred and fifty points lost somehow don't seem that important anymore.

Anyway, their score has long been at the bottom, and more than the Academy Cup, they want to get back the Quidditch Cup that has been wandering for seven years.

Since Harry joined the team, Gryffindor has been invincible on the court. Only when they met Hufflepuff, their dream of winning the championship was shattered on the spot, and this was seven times in a row.

The first time they thought it was because Hufflepuff's morale was too high, the second time they said the new seeker wasn't familiar with the pitch, and the third time it was raining... But seven times in a row, it was hard for them to find a justifiable excuse. .

This time, they must take back everything they lost...

Um?

etc.

"The man sitting on the teacher's bench looks familiar." A third-grade little lion approached his friend's ear and asked, "That's the one sitting next to Professor Hagrid."

His friend subconsciously raised his head and suddenly felt bad.

"Kyle, didn't he graduate?!"

Because Kyle had only graduated less than a year ago, many people in the school knew him and remembered him.

For a moment, everyone once again recalled the fear of being controlled by Kyle with the Quaffle.

There is a saying that has been circulating on the Hogwarts grounds... If your opponent is Hufflepuff, then pray that the Seeker can catch the Golden Snitch within twenty minutes. This is the only way to defeat them. Way.

Because Kyle can always score 150 points within twenty minutes, if the game cannot be ended within this time, the score gap will only get wider and wider, and it will be useless even if he catches the Golden Snitch.

It can be said that Kyle raised the status of Chaser and let everyone know that the most important thing to win in Quidditch is not just catching the damn golden egg with wings.

He didn't come back specifically to prevent Gryffindor from winning the championship...

The little lion trembled all over, what a big hatred this is, and he has to come back!

"Hey, did you read the notice on the bulletin board?"

At this time, someone ran in furiously. "We're getting a new professor!"

"What, Snape was finally captured by the Aurors?"

"Maybe he was killed by a warthog."

When it comes to the new professor, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Defense Against the Dark Arts. After all, Professor Nian Pao has been there for more than fifty years. No matter how outrageous things happen, they will not find it strange.

"Snape?" The man was stunned for a moment before continuing: "No, it's Professor Babling."

"Professor Babbling, who is this?"

"Professor of ancient runes," someone answered.

"Oh...what are runes again?"

"One of the elective courses for third grade students."

"Is there still this class?"

"Please, get your ass out of your face and take another look at that damn schedule. Then you'll find out if there's an ancient runes class."

"Hey, that's not the point!" Someone interrupted their quarrel.

"The point is, the new professor who replaces Babuling is also named Kyle. Could it be the one we know?"

"It must be." A faint voice came over,

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because he's already here." The man pointed to Kyle, who was talking to Hagrid at the teacher's desk.

But he was relieved in his heart.

Hello Professor, Professor, I can't participate in the Quidditch match...

More and more people came to the auditorium to eat, and they also saw the announcement posted outside the door and Kyle on the teacher's bench.

There was a lot of discussion in the auditorium. Everyone felt that it was very novel for a graduate to become a professor.

There are also a few acquaintances among them.

"It's really you, Kyle!" Ginny stood aside and looked at Kyle with wide eyes, "Why have you never told me, and mom too, that you didn't write to me about such a big thing? A letter!"

"Actually, you knew it earlier than she did." Kyle said with a smile: "How does it feel? Are you surprised or not? Are you looking forward to it?"

"It's a bit of a surprise. But I didn't choose the ancient runes course, so I'm just looking forward to it..." Ginny spread her hands, her meaning self-evident.

If I don’t take your class, of course I have no expectations.

Kyle immediately retracted the smile on his face, "You are just like your brother, uneducated and incompetent."

These words made Ginny very angry.

She can get at least five O's in her grades. To compare her with Ron, whose highest score is only an E, is simply insulting!

Kyle is really going too far!

Ginny walked away angrily, but Kyle felt much better. He slowly took a sip of pumpkin juice and left the auditorium with Hagrid.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Quidditch match started.

Almost all the students went to the stadium, and the deafening cheers were heard one after another, which could be heard clearly even in the Forbidden Forest.

Kyle didn't go to the game, and neither did Hagrid.

Although he wanted to cheer Harry on, Christmas was coming soon, and he needed to prepare the decorations for the auditorium and the twelve essential Christmas trees before the dinner.

This is the job of a gamekeeper. Even though he has become a professor, Hagrid has never slacked off.

So after breakfast, he reluctantly said goodbye to the dragon in the garden and went to the Forbidden Forest.

Near noon, perfect Christmas trees were placed at the door of the cabin, and decorative plants such as holly and mistletoe were placed next to them, all carefully selected by Hagrid.

When the dinner comes, they will appear on the walls and ceiling of the hall, receiving the surprised exclamations of the little wizards.

But all this has nothing to do with Kyle. He does not plan to spend Christmas in Hogwarts. That afternoon, he and Fox appeared on the streets of the French Magic Commercial Street.

Just kidding, Christmas should be spent with important people. What's the point of being with those silly students in Hogwarts.

More importantly, their winning streak is gone.

I just graduated, and Hufflepuff lost to Gryffindor on the court, and they were speed-passed in ten minutes... It's really infuriating to think about it.

Hang a gold coin in front of the flying broom, and the sniff is better than them.

The Christmas atmosphere in France is also strong, and all kinds of decorations are hung in front of almost every store.

A huge Christmas tree is placed in the middle of the street. It is really big and looks like a second iron tower. It is a magical product at first glance. After all, normal trees can't grow that high.

Kyle found Kanna's shop with ease.

Strange, why is the door closed again?

Kyle knocked on the door in confusion.

Squeak...

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Fleur opened her arms excitedly, ready to hug.

Kyle was a little surprised by Fleur's enthusiasm, but also a little tangled.

As a friend, he shouldn't avoid this hug, but Kanna is also here, so it's not a good idea to do so.

Kyle was in a dilemma, standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

But the next second, he didn't need to worry about it.

"You're finally here... Damn, why is it you."

Fleur stopped on the spot with a sudden brake.

The excitement and excitement on her face also turned into disgust in an instant.

Kyle didn't understand how people could change their faces so quickly.

"What are you talking about? Is France yours? Why can't I come!"

"Didn't you just come?!"

Fleur looked at Kyle with disdain and said, "If you are so reluctant, why don't you just let Connor go back to England?"

A lot of things happened during this period, repairing the time converter, returning to 1899 to find Dumbledore, saving Ariana, breaking the conspiracy of the Death Eaters in Cornwall, and going to the Hesperides to confront Voldemort with Fiendfyre.

But these are things outside of time, and only a few people know.

For Fleur, who is in the normal timeline, Kyle did run back not long after leaving France.

It's really annoying!

"What do you care about me?" Kyle said unhappily, but he couldn't figure out why Fleur was so angry today, as if she had taken gunpowder.

Are you feeling unwell?

"Where's Kanna?" Kyle looked around and asked.

"She's brewing potions in the basement. You'd better not disturb her." Fleur was much calmer at this moment, and she pulled open the curtains to make the room brighter.

"Why don't you open the door?" Kyle asked, "I didn't open the door last time I came, but tomorrow is Christmas, the best time for business."

"Of course it's because..." Fleur paused, "Because we received a large order from Beauxbatons, and Christmas is coming, time is a bit tight, so we just closed the door."

"But why are you here again, is everything fine in the UK?" Fleur squinted her eyes when she said this, and I don't know what she was thinking.

"It's still the same, fighting openly and secretly, and people are panicking, but it's finally much better than before." Kyle said.

This is true. Voldemort has indeed been much quieter since the Hesperidian Islands. Apart from Oren breaking into the Gringotts vault, there is no news of Death Eaters doing anything else.

Of course, it is also possible that they did it, but the Aurors and Dumbledore did not find it.

"Isn't it Christmas that is coming soon? I have time to come here..." Kyle glanced at the entrance of the basement, "When will Connor come out?"

"I don't know." Fleur said, "Normally it's at night, sometimes it's later."

"Then you are quite busy." Kyle glanced at her.

"That's right." Fleur raised her eyebrows.

...

Kyle waited until the evening before Connor came out of the basement rubbing her eyes.

After seeing Kyle, she was stunned at first, and then she rushed over happily.

Unfortunately, when Kyle opened his arms and was ready to welcome the long-lost hug, he was pushed aside by Fleur.

Connor hugged her, Fleur turned her head and gave Kyle a bad smile.

No wonder she was ostracized in Beauxbatons, she really deserved it!

Kyle gritted his teeth, he really didn't know why Fleur was crazy today, she was against him everywhere, he didn't provoke her.

And not only that, Kyle took Kanna to a Christmas dinner, Fleur also followed her shamelessly, without any awareness of being a light bulb.

At night, Kyle wanted to stay in the store, but Fleur pushed him out.

Kanna wanted to say something, but she pulled her back.

"I can't sleep on the street!" Kyle argued outside, but what he got in response was silence and a key thrown out of the window.

"Number 97, south of the commercial street, find it yourself!" Fleur's voice came from inside.

There was no choice but to take the key and follow the address Fleur gave him, and found... a villa!

The French Magic Commercial Street is different from Diagon Alley. It is more like Hogsmeade. In addition to shops, there are also wizards' residential areas, but Kyle has never been there.

And he didn't expect the residential area here to be so luxurious.

Unlike the architectural style of Hogsmeade in the last century, number 97 is a three-story villa with spotless white marble. If the area is a little bigger, it would be a manor.

Opening the door with the key, it is full of rich French decoration style, highlighting a luxury.

Is Fleur so rich?

But speaking of it, Delacour seems to be quite famous in France. If you think about it carefully, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be loved by a veela.

Kyle was lying in a villa of several hundred square meters, sighing quietly.

If possible, he would rather live in a small potion shop.

It doesn't matter if there is no room, it's warm enough.

But the problem is that Fleur seems to be possessed by Snape suddenly, and she is so guarded against him...

Wait.

Kyle sat up suddenly.

Could Fleur really be Snape pretending to be a polyjuice potion?

It's not impossible, after all, her behavior today is too strange, like a different person, and it's close to Christmas, and the professors of Hogwarts will also be on holiday.

If Snape doesn't have classes to attend in the afternoon, he can come to France before him.

Did he guess that he would come to see Connor early?

Kyle looked out the window and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

I should think too much.

Although the Polyjuice Potion can change a person's appearance, it cannot change their bloodline. For example, if someone drinks the Polyjuice Potion containing Hagrid's hair, their appearance may change, but their height will not, because height is a characteristic of giant bloodline and does not belong to the category of Polyjuice Potion.

And when he saw Fleur just now, he still had the urge to stuff her into the box.

This means that she still has the bloodline of a veela, and it is impossible for Snape to pretend.

But this is even more strange... Why on earth?

Kyle thought about it all night, but he had no clue.

...

Until the next morning, he came to the shopping street again.

At this time, there was already a person standing in front of the potion shop, a familiar person wearing a strange square cardboard suit and a red ribbon on his head.

Bill Weasley.

This guy seemed to have dressed himself up as a gift.

How shameless.

Kyle pouted.

But Fleur seemed to be quite fond of this, and the two were hugging each other and chewing as if no one was around.

"***!"

Kyle moved his mouth and took out the camera expressionlessly.

“Crack!”
