Chapter 340 A transaction between adults
Chris took a week off work, but the next day he realized he didn't seem to have much to do.
The entry requirements for Apparition are not too difficult, coupled with Kyle's unexpected learning speed, he has already taught all the content that should be taught in just one afternoon.
There is no need to say what is left unsaid...
And after Kyle gradually adapted to the discomfort caused by apparition, Chris found that he could not even keep his only "therapist" status.
For two whole days, Kyle didn't separate his body again. Correspondingly, the white essence in his bottle was not missing at all.
If this continues, won't the three Galleons be wasted?
In the spirit of thrift and no waste, on the third day, Chris made it more difficult for Kyle, not only setting the target location farther away, but also shortening the interval between each apparation.
Sometimes Kyle has to disapparate again before he has time to catch his breath.
And he couldn't refute the reason given by Chris.
"Apparition is a spell that requires a lot of practice, especially high-frequency repetitive practice, which will definitely make your efficiency double the result with half the effort!"
Kyle felt that what Chris said was wrong, but it seemed to make sense...
There is no way, he can only disappear and reappear again and again...and the frequency is getting faster and faster.
It was as if firecrackers were being set off on the hillside of the village of St. Catchpole, "crackling" non-stop.
Wait until the fifth day...
On a small hill in the north, Luna is watering the hydrangeas outside the house, and occasionally slips into the flowers...
"What are you looking for?" asked Mr. Lovegood.
"Jumplings!" said Luna, "I saw them just now, on the petals."
"Oh, then you have to be more careful..."
"Snapped!"
Before Mr. Lovegood finished speaking, a burst of firecracker-like explosions broke the warm scene of the father and daughter.
Just like that, he suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
This is nothing, after all, this is not the first time Kyle has come here.
But what was horrifying was that Kyle in front of him was missing half an arm, his face was tired, and his clothes were still in tatters.
"Someone is hunting for this child..." Mr. Lovegood subconsciously thought.
In broad daylight, in San Catchpole Village, chasing and killing a student who has not yet graduated...too arrogant!
This is not 12 years ago!
But before he could draw his wand...
"Snapped!"
There was another bang, and Chris came too.
He skillfully pressed half of his arm on Kyle's wound, and then quickly smeared a circle of white fresh essence on it.
"Chris, what are you..." Mr. Lovegood asked in a daze.
"Oh, Xenophilius, why are you at home..." Chris stammered, "No, I mean, didn't you take Luna to Northumberland?"
"The horned snorkel over there has already left." Luna said with her head raised.
"Yes, we just got back an hour ago."
Mr. Lovegood nodded, and then asked thoughtfully: "Are you... teaching Kyle to Apparate?
I remember he was only 14 years old this year..."
After the initial scare, he has basically reacted now.
The familiar explosion sound just now, as well as the broken and reattached arm, clearly appeared to be separated.
It could only be Apparation.
"Actually, we're just...just...well, well, that's true, can you keep it a secret for us, Xenophilius..."
Chris sighed, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't prepared gifts for the Romanian Ministry of Magic yet. What do you think of an unconventional magazine?"
"Like... the Daily Prophet?"
"No, that's too formal." Chris shook his head, "I think The Quibbler would be good."
"Ahem..." Mr. Lovegood suddenly cleared his throat and turned his head to the side. "Luna, I think there must be a group of fairies hiding in our garden. They all make me hallucinate."
Luna blinked, "Dad, fairies and elves don't make people hallucinate."
"Perhaps something has changed in one of them..."
While they were talking, Chris quickly left the hill with Kyle.
Because he had already practiced for five hours, and because he had just been discovered, Chris simply ended today's special training.
It was getting dark.
After returning home, Kyle moved his newly connected arm and asked, "Is it really okay to bring "The Quibbler" as a gift to people in Romania?"
What should I say about this magazine, the content in it is really... well, let’s say it’s ahead of the curve.
Because they couldn't read it, people would think it was a nonsense garbage magazine... Most of its audience were also concentrated in St. Mungo's Department of Psychiatric, Magical, and Injury Diseases.
Using this kind of magazine as a gift... Wouldn't the Romanian Ministry of Magic find this a provocation?
"That's okay." Chris waved his hand and said, "Most of them don't understand anyway, and some of the views in that magazine should be quite interesting to people from other countries."
By the sixth day, Kyle's arm was completely fine, but his apparition practice was also forced to stop.
The main thing is that Diana came back and happened to witness the whole process of their training.
Diana left with an excuse to go shopping in Diagon Alley, holding Chris's arm with a smile on her face.
And then... no more.
Anyway, she came back alone in the end, and told Kyle that Chris decided to live in the ministry for a few days because of his busy work, and he would not go home for dinner recently.
As for why Chris returned to the ministry after asking for leave... Kyle looked at Diana, who was still angry, and didn't dare to ask.
……
July is coming to an end soon.
On his birthday, Kyle received a lot of presents, among them Fred and George gave him something like a glass top.
There are two more notes below.
"Happy birthday, Kyle.
It's a pocket looking glass that spins and lights up if anyone suspicious is around.We've tested it and it works great. "
"The only downside is that it's not very bright. Yesterday a beetle crawled into Bill's soup, and it kept lighting up... obviously the beetle crawled into the soup by itself.
Oh, and Percy is head of the Boys, and we're all happy for him and ready to give him a new badge. "
Kyle pouted, not believing a word of what the Weasley brothers said.
What a stupid beetle it is to climb into the soup by itself, the two of them definitely helped 90.00% of the eight... and Percy's student body president badge, I guess it's bad luck.
Kyle put the pocket looking glass aside and picked up Hagrid's present again.
Unsurprisingly, it was a book.
The Book of Monsters
As soon as Kyle took it out, the book suddenly stood up, like some kind of weird crab, crawling sideways on the floor quickly.
This is also the most special part of this book, because of some special magic, it looks like it is alive.
But the solution is also very simple, stroke the spine, or...
"Lishen Jinxie!"
A spell that Kyle threw over.
Immediately, the monster book stopped moving, and lay flat on the floor softly, like a poor-taste cushion.
Kyle walked over and wrapped the rope around the spine of the book before picking up Hagrid's card.
"Dear Kyle:
Life is good!
You will use this book next semester. I won’t say much here. We will talk about it when we meet. You will never imagine what happened. I still feel like I’m dreaming.
Wish you all the best.
Hagrid"
Kyle raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hagrid, who was silent, had a strict tone.
He gave him a book and said he would use it next semester. Obviously, after Professor Kettleburn retired, Hagrid took over his class and was about to become the new professor of protection of magical creatures.
What happened last semester made Hagrid clean up his grievances, and he was finally able to do work other than gamekeeper.
It can be seen from this letter that Hagrid is really happy.
Kyle was also happy for him.
After thinking for a moment, Kyle found a piece of parchment and wrote him a reply.
"Dear Hagrid:
Thank you for the gift, I love it, I can't wait for school to start, unfortunately there is still a month left.
I can only follow Mr. Scamander to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania for a while... a big event will happen there recently, and the fire dragons will fight each other until the most powerful dragon is selected to become their new leader By.
Kyle.
Also: I heard that there are dozens of fire dragons there. "
Chris took a week off work, but the next day he realized he didn't seem to have much to do.
