Chapter 736 Christmas Chapter Invitation (Page 12)

After entering December, the weather became colder and colder. One morning, people suddenly discovered that a thick layer of ice had formed on the Black Lake.

Snowflakes were flying outside the window, making a crackling sound on the window.

Christmas is coming in a blink of an eye.

As usual, Hagrid brought twelve tall Christmas trees on his own to decorate the auditorium. The railings of the stairs and corridors were also decorated with holly, and the entire castle was filled with a festive atmosphere.

"This can't go on like this!"

In the herbal medicine class, Kyle used his wand to direct a glove to jump up and down on the table, and said depressedly: "I have to think of a new excuse to get rid of Slughorn. He is the dinner party and I am." I don’t want to go even a day.”

"Is it really as boring as you said?" Kangna asked curiously: "Judging from the last dance, it shouldn't be so."

"There were a lot of people at that time, so we could avoid him and go away, but there were only seven or eight people at the dinner party, so we had to sit there."

Kyle sighed, "Let's put it this way, some people really like it, such as Slytherin's Daphne Greengrass, Millicent Burst, and Gryffindor's Cormac McLagen... they just I love my status as a member of the Slug Club and wish I had a dinner party every day.

"But for me... I would rather be detained by a professor for half a day."

"Then you go find Professor Snape." Connor suggested again: "It just so happens that you can say that you are in solitary confinement with me."

"Well... although I don't like it, it won't go to this point." Kyle declined: "I'll think of other ways."

Again, for him, Snape's confinement and Slughorn's dinner party were both similar, and it was difficult to evaluate which one was better.

He'd better think of another way.

The easiest thing would definitely be to find the principal. As long as Dumbledore thought about it, he would definitely be able to find the most suitable reason.

But the problem is that it's too late for him to hide from Dumbledore now. How could he send him to his door by himself...

If the principal can't do it, the professor can actually do it.

Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall... discuss it with them, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a reason to confine yourself for a day or something.

But the problem is that this method can be done once or twice. If the number of times is too many, Kyle will be embarrassed to keep looking for them.

But what else can be done?

I really don't know who is so quick to talk. Why did Duan Duan tell him that the floo network between the school and the Ministry of Magic has been cancelled.

……

Kyle stroked his wand and suddenly shook his head after a moment... Forget it, I don't want to anymore.

The most important thing now is to find an excuse to get rid of the Christmas dance in the evening, and we can talk about other things later.

After class, Kyle returned to the castle as soon as he left the greenhouse, planning to go to Professor McGonagall to see if she could give him a solitary confinement this afternoon.

But as soon as he ran up the stairs, he saw a familiar person standing in the foyer.

Wearing a purple robe, a long silver beard, and a phoenix standing on his shoulders... Dumbledore seemed to be waiting for him.

Kyle didn't stop at all, turned around decisively, and ran out of the castle.

But the next second, Dumbledore appeared in front of him again, with a calm expression, as if he had never moved.

Connor on the side was startled. She looked at Dumbledore's position just now and seemed to be confused as to how he disappeared and then appeared in another place in an instant.

"No doubt, it's Apparition." Kyle explained in a low voice: "Remember? Tycross said before that the principal can temporarily lift the restrictions in the castle so that we can practice Apparition in school."

"Any time?" Kangna asked: "Shouldn't the magic covering the entire castle be complicated?"

"It's not as complicated as you think, Miss Prince." Dumbledore, who heard the two talking, came over and explained patiently: "These restrictions are not separate magic, but come from the castle itself. The principal has some special The only requirement is that you must be in the castle."

Kangna nodded in realization.

Then Dumbledore turned to look at Kyle, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

"It seems you don't want to see me."

He said in a calm tone, as if he had never known Kyle before, and there was even a slight grinding sound in his voice.

"How could it be, Principal Dumbledore..." Kyle's eyes wandered, and his steps moved towards the door of the auditorium intentionally or unintentionally, "Well... do you have anything to do with me?"

There were many people in the auditorium, so although I wasn't sure if it would be useful, it could give Kyle a sense of security.

Dumbledore stared at him for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not looking for you, it's Nico."

"Nico?"

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Nico invites you to spend Christmas at his manor this year. If you are willing...it will be the same as last time. You all know the specific process, so I won't repeat it."

Dumbledore seemed to really not want to see Kyle, so he spoke sparingly. After speaking, he didn't even stay for a second, and was ready to leave immediately.

"Wait, professor." Kyle hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Can I take someone with me?"

"Okay." Dumbledore continued walking forward without looking back.

So simple?

Now, Kyle became curious.

He jogged to catch up again, "Professor, why don't you ask me who I plan to take?"

"No need." Dumbledore walked into the auditorium. "People with malicious intentions cannot see the gate of the manor, and they cannot enter even if someone is carrying them."

"Oh, by the way." At this time, his steps paused, "Last time you..."

"I suddenly remembered that I forgot something in the greenhouse. See you later, Professor." Kyle said quickly.

When Dumbledore turned around and looked over, he had already run out of the auditorium and into the foyer, his speed no worse than Apparating.

……

In the foyer, Kangna looked at Kyle who was running back with a smile, and asked: "So, you decided to go to Nicoléme's manor this Christmas vacation?"

"Yeah, it's just in time. Finally, we don't have to go to any Christmas dance." Kyle nodded, and then said: "Let's go back to the common room first. It's not safe in the auditorium now. Come back later."

With Dumbledore around, the Great Hall was probably the safest place now, if only for everyone else, of course.

However, Kangna did not expose Kyle, but walked forward together.

When she came to the corridor where the kitchen was, her expression was a little tangled, as if she was waiting for Kyle to say something, but Kyle just didn't mention it.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Who are you going to go with?"

"What and who."

"We're going this Christmas." Connor whispered, "Didn't you ask Principal Dumbledore if you could take someone with you?"

"This." Kyle said, "Cedric..."
