Chapter 719 Snape’s Scar (page 12)
As expected, after the last Potions class on Friday, the bottle of Felixir ended up in Kangna's pocket.
Her Polyjuice Potion was so perfect that even Slughorn couldn't fault it.
Although Kyle's was similar, the potion in his cauldron was darker than Kangna's.
This is because he put in the African tree snake skin a little late, and it had no effect on the potion itself. If there was no Kangna, the first place would definitely be his.
But to be honest, neither Kyle nor Connor were particularly interested in the elixir rewarded by Slughorn.
Both of them have blessed elixirs, and they also have channels to get them.
Needless to say about Connor, as long as she asked, Snape would definitely not mind getting her a few bottles.
As for Kyle, he already has a good relationship with Dean Sathya of St. Mungo's. Coupled with the basilisk materials he sent before, it is naturally not difficult to get some blessing elixir.
So this reward is naturally not that attractive to them. It doesn't matter if they can get the best or not.
And more importantly, since the last time he wore the Ravenclaw diadem, Kyle had stayed away from such things as elixirs.
The feeling of being able to control everything is really intoxicating. Kyle is afraid that he will not be able to resist the temptation...
If not necessary, this is fine for now.
……
On the first weekend of the new school year, it suddenly started to rain with mist and drizzle, and it was freezing. However, this day was also the day for the Quidditch team to select new players, and there were many people on the field.
In addition to those who really want to join the team, most of them come to watch the fun. If possible, maybe they can spy on the enemy's situation for their own college team and kill two birds with one stone.
Since it was Gryffindor time in the morning, Kyle did not go to the pitch. Instead, he and Connor walked across the field to Hagrid's hut.
He has been in a bad mood these past two days, always keeping a straight face, and he has not even gone to the auditorium to eat recently.
It happened to be the weekend and Kyle wanted to come see what was going on.
When they arrived near the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid was absentmindedly watering the pumpkin patch at the door.
Inside are pumpkins about the size of a wheel. When Halloween comes, they will appear in every corner of the castle as decorations.
But Hagrid seemed to be thinking about other things. All the bucket of water in his hand was poured on the same pumpkin, and it formed a small puddle on the ground.
"Hagrid, if you don't be serious, we will have to go out and buy pumpkins for Halloween."
Kyle shouted, and Hagrid came back to his senses.
"Oh, it's Kyle, and Kangna." He greeted with a bucket: "Hello."
"Hello." Kyle walked up to him and asked directly: "What's wrong with you recently?"
"I'm fine..." Hagrid's eyes wandered and he took two steps forward, preparing to water the other pumpkins.
"Come on, don't you know that you are very bad at lying?" Kyle said, "Besides, if you didn't have anything on your mind, why would you come out to water the pumpkins on a rainy day?"
rain?
Hagrid then noticed that his hair was completely wet.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier." He quickly put down the bucket and tried to scoop up the puddles with his hands.
"Does anyone else need to tell you about the rain?" Kyle couldn't help but muttered.
However, seeing Hagrid's busy appearance, he still took out his wand and helped clean up the excess water in the pumpkin patch.
Although he felt that this was also unnecessary, since Hagrid must have his reasons for doing this, he just wanted to help.
……
"Tell me what's going on."
When they returned to the cabin, Kyle asked again: "What's wrong with you recently?"
"I don't know..." Hagrid said softly: "Maybe Dumbledore made a mistake in choosing me as Care of Magical Creatures professor."
"Why do you think so?" Kangna asked.
"Because only five people chose my improvement class this year." Hagrid said as if he was very determined.
"How many, five?" Kangna was a little surprised. This meant that only one person from each college chose Hagrid's class, and the number of people was a bit too small.
After all, even the divination class has more than a dozen people.
"Hagrid, are you setting the bar too high?"
"If 'A' is considered high." Hagrid sighed.
Kyle stopped talking. A just passed, and it was also the minimum standard for improving the class. There was really no way to lower it any further.
"Among these five people, are there Harry and the others?" Kyle asked tentatively.
"Harry, Hermione, and Ron, all three of them chose my class." Hagrid seemed to be somewhat comforted, but he couldn't laugh.
This meant that aside from these three friendship votes, only two people chose his class. Thinking of this, Hagrid felt even more sad.
"Dumbledore must have made a mistake in making me a professor!" His voice was trembling.
"Well... you can't say that..." Kyle said hesitantly.
He didn't know how to comfort Hagrid, even now this result was due to his help.
If it hadn't been for his insistence that Hagrid give up moving the Blast-Ended Skrewt into the classroom, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be these five people. After all, that thing is really unpleasant.
Kyle turned his head and motioned to Kangna for help with his eyes, but Kangna spread his hands and silently looked away.
"Well, um... don't be discouraged, Hagrid." Kyle said bravely: "I think it's just because most people don't know about magical animals."
"But when Professor Kettleburn was here, many people chose his advanced class."
Hagrid took out a dirty handkerchief and wiped his eyes, "Thank you Kyle, thank you for still coming to comfort me at this time, but no, I understand."
"No." Kyle shook his head. Another thing suddenly occurred to him. "Hagrid, do you know what's different about this year?"
"Different? What do you mean?" Hagrid was a little confused.
"Mysterious Man." Kyle said, "This year the Ministry of Magic announced the comeback of Mysterious Man. Therefore, when choosing courses, most students will subconsciously prefer subjects that can improve their strength, so they will ignore the Care of Magical Creatures course. ."
"Is that so?" Hagrid raised his head.
Thank God, there was finally no cry in his voice. Kyle was really not good at comforting a half-giant.
"Of course." Kyle said seriously: "Think about it, many people chose you last year. How could it be that you lack the ability?"
"But..." Hagrid was still a little confused, "Obviously magical animals are very useful. Dumbledore used Lu Wei to guard the Sorcerer's Stone. How could he not be able to help them?"
"Because you can't bring a three-headed dog to class." Kyle said, "Just think about what they learn, Bowtruckles, fairies, Nifflers, and even better, unicorns and fire Lizard, they can't expect to ride a unicorn to deal with Death Eaters."
