Chapter 989: Mrs. Longbottom
Kyle almost forgot that Neville was also at Hogwarts,
Having a passion for herbal medicine, he applied to become a teaching assistant in the herbal medicine class after graduation, and Professor Sprout agreed.
After all, Neville did have a high talent for herbal medicine, and was especially patient when caring for those fragile plants.
As there were more and more plants in the school greenhouse, she became busier and busier. Sometimes she would run to another greenhouse during class.
Having one more person to help would also make her feel much more relaxed. Neville happened to apply, so she agreed.
The salary of a teaching assistant is not high, and she can afford it herself even if the school disagrees.
Of course, the principal and school directors must have agreed.
There is already an assistant coach anyway, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more.
And Hogwarts also welcomes outstanding students to stay and work in the school--well, except Tom Riddle.
When Kyle found Neville in the Third Greenhouse, he was collecting spores from the toadstool caps.
This is a tedious job because it's hard to get the jumpsuit to stay there quietly.
But Neville seemed to be enjoying it. His hands and body were swaying to the rhythm of jumping on the mushroom hat, and he was humming a song.
"Conjure a Table of Food" by the Weird Sisters is a song with a brisk rhythm.
It can be seen that he enjoys doing this from the bottom of his heart, rather than treating it as a task to be completed.
"Neville——." Kyle knocked on the greenhouse door.
“I’m—Oh, Kyle, why do you have time to come here.
Neville raised his head with a look of surprise on his face, "Are you here to see Professor Sprout? She should be grading homework in the castle office right now."
"No, Neville, I'm here to find you."
"Looking for me?" Neville was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that someone would come to the greenhouse specifically to look for him.
Since staying at Hogwarts, his companions have always been belladonna, clover and fang geranium, and few people came to see him.
But he also enjoys it and rarely goes to others.
"Do you have time?" Kyle asked, "I want to talk to you about something, it's very important."
"Of course, no problem." Neville came to his senses and hurriedly wiped his dirty hands on his body, but in doing so, his clothes became dirty again.
"Sorry, can you wait for a moment? I want to change clothes."
"I know it's offensive, but Neville, you should remember that you are a wizard."
Kyle took out his wand and waved it slightly.
"Clean up!"
All the dust on Neville's body and hands disappeared, and his whole body became much cleaner instantly.
"Thank you." Neville couldn't help but said, "You know, my memory has never been very good."
Neville, who was extremely reliable and brave during the war, seemed to have turned into the forgetful '
Fool".
"Where are we going?"
"How about the Three Broomsticks, I'm kind of craving Butterbeer.'
"Yes, yes." Neville nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "But can we come back soon? I still have a lot of work to do."
"This depends on your choice." Kyle said casually.
The two came to Three Broomsticks and ordered two drinks.
"You can talk now." Neville took a sip of butterbeer. "Don't be embarrassed. If you need my help in any way, just ask. I will definitely help you."
"No, it's about your parents." Kyle said.
Neville's hand holding the cup stopped mid-air.
"I have a way to bring them back to consciousness." Kyle continued.
"Bang!"
Neville stood up abruptly, spilling half of the butterbeer in his hand because of too much force.
But Neville didn't care about that at all right now.
He just looked at Kyle like this, his whole body trembling slightly.
"You--you can make--them." "Don't get excited, Neville, just listen to me first." "Kyle waved his hand.
The chair that had been kicked out fell back to the position behind Neville, but he did not sit on it.
It wasn't that Neville didn't want to sit, it was just that he couldn't move.
I don't know what happened, but his legs seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't do any other movement except standing.
Kyle didn't show off and told the whole thing from beginning to end.
"..·That's it"
Half an hour later, Kyle took a sip of butterbeer and said, "This method was just completed by me, and it also involved Horcruxes - of course, I will change its name later so that the Ministry of Magic can There will be no objection.
"Of course, you are definitely qualified to know the truth, and I will not hide it. As for whether you agree or not, it depends on your decision - you and your grandma."
Neville looked at Kyle.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
In fact, Neville wanted to agree, because this was probably the only way to bring his parents back to their senses.
But when the words of agreement came to his lips, he couldn't say them out. He was hesitating.
He was not hesitant because this method had never been done before.
Neville trusts Kyle. Ever since Kyle defeated Voldemort at Hogwarts, this trust has reached its peak.
It makes no sense, but this is what Neville really thinks.
Kyle said that if there was a way to wake up his parents, then there would be no problem - not to mention Professor Sasia's involvement.
Neville hesitated because of the Horcrux.
Although Neville had never lived with his parents, he was very familiar with them, a familiarity that came from family affection.
Therefore, he knew very well that his parents, as Aurors, had their own persistence.
They would rather never wake up than use the evil black magic of Horcruxes.
And his grandmother was the same.
So Neville hesitated, he couldn't make this decision.
I don't know how long it took, Kyle had finished the second glass of butterbeer, Neville was still standing there, his face pale, his hands tightly holding the glass.
"I suggest you discuss it with your grandmother." Kyle said.
This sentence seemed to wake up Neville, his eyes gradually regained their spirit, and he drank the remaining butterbeer in the quilt in one gulp, trying to calm himself down in this way.
I don't know if it's a psychological principle, although the butterbeer has almost no degree, Neville really feels a lot better.
"I will - no, I'll go now."
"By the way." Kyle stopped him, "Remember to tell Mrs. Longbottom that the reason why the Horcrux is called black magic is that it needs to kill people to split their souls.
"But Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom's souls are already broken - I hope you don't mind if I say this,
I mean, they don't need this step.
"And this Horcrux is reconstructed by me, and it is completely different from the previous one. Strictly speaking, it should be called a Horcrux spell, which is a kind of spell."
"I, I know." Neville nodded stiffly, then turned and left.
At this time, a person stood up at the table next to him.
"Are you sure he remembered it?" Fred walked to Kyle and sat down.
"You know, his memory has never been very good." George said.
They entered the Three Broomsticks with Kyle and Neville.
After all, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes is located at the entrance of Hogsmeade Village. Kyle and Neville just arrived in Hogsmeade, and Fred, who was counting the goods at the door, noticed them.
Kyle, Neville...
In just a blink of an eye, they guessed what the two were doing here and followed them immediately.
It was just that Neville, who was in shock, did not notice them.
"A bad memory does not mean that you can't remember anything." Kyle glanced out the window, "I dare say he won't forget a word."
"Maybe." Fred shrugged and didn't comment.
Then Kyle left, and Fred, who stayed at the end, helped pay the bill.
When Neville ran out, he also took the cup of butterbeer away, which required extra payment. Back at Hogwarts, Kyle first found Professor Sprout and asked for leave for Neville.
Professor Sprout didn't ask why, and after confirming that she didn't need her help, she agreed.
"Do you think old lady Longbottom will agree?"
After dinner, Connor and Kyle walked side by side in the corridor of the castle, and asked softly at the same time.
"Yes." Kyle said.
"Are you so sure that they will trust you?" Connor turned her head and glanced at him.
"It's not trusting me, it's trusting Professor Sassia." Kyle said, "Didn't you notice? When Neville and I went to the Three Broomsticks, Professor Sassia also left Hogwarts."
"She said she was going to get something."
"If I'm not mistaken, she should have gone to St. Mungo's."
"Why."
"Because she wants to find the solution to the Cruciatus Curse." Kyle said.
"Then aren't you?" Connor stopped and looked at Kyle.
Kyle didn't answer, but hesitated for a long time.
"To be honest, I don't know?"
"Huh?"
"Don't look at me like that, I really don't know." Kyle said, "I first had this idea when I saw the Longbottom couple who were tortured crazy by the Cruciatus Curse at St. Mungo's.
"They are all Aurors, and they were tortured crazy in the battle with the Death Eaters. I want to try to save them.
"So strictly speaking, the original intention of my research on the Horcrux spell was to see if the Longbottoms were a little stingy compared to Professor Sassia."
"Of course not." Connor said without hesitation, she gently pulled Kyle's hand, "Because you succeeded" - only you succeeded. "
"It's not that easy." Kyle looked out the window, "It's just that I didn't expect this spell to be so difficult, and I didn't succeed until I graduated - but it's not too late."
When saying this, Kyle suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw a familiar double-decker bus parked in front of the Hogwarts gate, a bit like a dirt bus.
Then, a person ran down from the car.
Although Kyle didn't see who the person was because the distance was too far, he immediately turned around and walked down the stairs.
"Come on, I think they should have made a decision."
"So fast? "Kanna was a little surprised, but she followed closely behind.
When the two came to the hallway, a short witch just came in from outside.
She was an old witch with a unique personality, wearing an old-fashioned green dress and a tall hat with a vulture specimen on it.
Kyle was a little suspicious about how the thing was fixed. She ran so fast and it didn't fall off. Was it a permanent sticking spell?
Now didn't seem to be the time to think about such things.
When the old witch saw Kyle, she also stopped.
"Grandma——"
Neville came running from behind.
"Kyle, why are you here - Oh, I mean -. We are going to find you, my grandma wants to ask you -
"I've heard everything." Mrs. Longbottom came over and looked at Kyle seriously, "Then, Frank and Alice will trouble you."
"Do you agree?"
"Yes." Mrs. Longbottom nodded.
"I think Neville mentioned the Horcrux thing."
"Yes, I know."
Mrs. Longbottom said, "But as a stranger, you are willing to spend a lot of time studying Horcruxes in order to save them. It would be too shameless for us to continue to worry about whether Horcruxes belong to dark magic!"
"Neville, come here and say thank you." Mrs. Longbottom roared suddenly, almost startling Kyle.
Neville came out from behind like a quail, "Thanks, Kyle."
"And!" Mrs. Longbottom glared at him.
"I'm sorry, I should have said thank you in the afternoon."
"Um, you're welcome." Kyle said, "Besides, Neville and I are friends, we can't be called strangers."
He also didn't expect that Mrs. Longbottom would be so resolute. The problem that Neville had been struggling with for a long time was solved instantly by her.
"You don't have to mind." She stepped forward and said, "You are here to save Frank and Alice. If they can't accept the Horcrux, just let them knock themselves out again. They are two irresponsible cowards."
Kyle wanted to say that he actually didn't mind.
In addition, the Longbottoms haven't woken up yet, so it's a little early to scold them now.
It's just that Mrs. Longbottom spoke too fast. Before Kyle could speak, she had already cursed several times.
Kyle thought for a while and chose to shut up.
After all, she was scolding her own family members, so presumably they wouldn't mind, so let's leave it at that.
Mrs. Longbottom is really decisive, just like she took the Knight Bus to Hogwarts as soon as she made a decision.
Although it was still night, after getting Kyle’s answer, she went back as soon as possible——”·
Still a Knight Bus.
There was no way, she couldn't disapparate, and she didn't have a portkey, so the Knight Bus was already the fastest way.
The two agreed to meet at St. Mungo's tomorrow morning.
The reason why she chose tomorrow was because Sasia still needed to use magic potion to stabilize their souls.
The new potion she invented using basilisk blood was for the soul, and it was just in time to use it.
And there is no rush in this matter. Although the Longbottoms are not conscious, they are still in good health.
In order not to delay Kyle's class, Mrs. Longbottom originally wanted to wait until next weekend, but Kyle had no class tomorrow, so it was the same.
Taking advantage of this time, Kyle went to the principal's office again.
There is no need to hide this matter from Principal McGonagall, and besides, he still needs to take leave.
