Chapter 743 Hagrid’s request (page 12)
After the opening party, Dumbledore came back to give Harry a weekly memory lesson.
But after Kyle received the news from the portrait and went to find him, he had already finished the course and left the school again. Only Harry was left in the office, who had just finished reading a memory and had not yet fully recovered.
"Kyle, are you also here to see Professor Dumbledore?" Harry said: "He just received a message from the fireplace, saying that the Dark Mark appeared somewhere, and then he hurried over."
"Ah, it doesn't matter." Kyle said, "I don't have anything important to do with him anyway. Let's talk about it when I have time."
After running in vain twice in a row, Kyle was not so concerned at first. Anyway, he had the time turner in his hands, and Dumbledore would naturally come to him if needed.
After that, the two left the principal's office at the same time.
When he came to the corridor outside, Harry turned to look at Kyle next to him, and the corners of his mouth moved, "Kyle, you..."
But when he said this, he suddenly shut his mouth again.
"What's wrong?" Kyle asked confused.
"No, it's nothing." Harry shook his head.
Because Dumbledore had something to do and left early after reading his memories, Harry had accumulated a lot of doubts and he needed to find someone to talk to and share...
Kyle is indeed a good choice. He is smart, knows a lot, and is even personally involved in several secret plans.
But it is precisely for this reason that it is difficult for Harry to treat him as a peer. He would rather discuss this with Ron or Hermione.
"That's right..." In order not to arouse Kyle's suspicion, Harry quickly said: "I just want to ask you, is it easy to learn Apparition? We can learn this magic on Saturday.
"Originally Sirius said he would teach us, but he left school not long after school started, and he hasn't found any time yet."
"It's not difficult." Kyle glanced at him and said, "And there is a little trick to this magic. If you can be revealed once with a follower before learning, it will be much easier after that."
"If you put it that way, Professor Dumbledore actually took me once to...well, follow me to reveal myself."
Harry said, "It was the night I went to see Professor Slughorn, but it was an uncomfortable experience. I felt like a stuffed toy stuffed into a washing machine."
"This is normal. You'll get better as you get used to it." Kyle said. "Besides, if you have experienced something more exciting, you will definitely feel that there is nothing wrong with being a stuffed toy."
"More exciting?" Harry asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, doesn't everyone's Apparition differ?"
"It's not a human, it's a phoenix." Kyle glanced behind him with lingering fear.
He dared to say that everyone who was carried by the phoenix could easily master this magic when learning to apparate.
It’s just that not many people have this opportunity.
Harry had never had this experience either, so it was difficult for him to understand what Kyle meant.
The topic seemed to have stagnated at this point. Fortunately, they had already arrived near the Gryffindor common room.
Harry glanced at the huge portrait of the Fat Lady and breathed a sigh of relief.
"See you tomorrow, Kyle."
"See you tomorrow."
After Harry left, Kyle also went downstairs from the other direction.
……
The day after the holidays, there was a heavy snowfall at Hogwarts, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the grounds overnight, almost five inches thick.
A group of first-year wizards had to walk hard through the snow because they had to take herbal medicine classes in the greenhouse.
And the same goes for students who go to Care of Magical Creatures classes.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid looked absent-minded. He got a batch of moon-crazed beasts from the empty pumpkin patch.
The other party's unique appearance quickly captured the hearts of the students, and they gathered around him one after another.
"I can't believe it," Connor whispered, "that Hagrid would show Moonstruck in his seventh grade class instead of some other creature with fangs and claws."
"Yeah." Kyle nodded in agreement.
It's no secret at Hogwarts that Hagrid likes less friendly-looking creatures.
It's okay for students under fifth grade. Because of their age, Hagrid can only find magical animals below XXX level when teaching them. But it's different for students in sixth and seventh grade.
The scope of the NEWT exam is very large, and there are not so many restrictions on the course content. They have recently turned the Care of Magical Creatures course into a "Comprehensive Collection of Ferocious Magical Creatures."
Last time it was the scorpion-tailed monkey... Last time it was the Megalodon... To be honest, even Kyle was curious about where Hagrid found these. At the same time, he had to sigh that there are so many species in the Forbidden Forest. ah.
Now that Hagrid had suddenly acquired such a harmless thing as the Moon Crazy Beast, Kyle was not used to it for a while.
"He couldn't have been controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse, right?" Ryan on the side whispered, obviously thinking about them.
"Although I think so too, it's probably not the case." Kyle said, "If you want to control Hagrid, this is only possible if the Imperius Curse is released by the mysterious man himself."
"Then why did he suddenly become so strange?"
"I don't know... maybe it's more convenient to prepare the Moon Chi Beast." Kyle said.
They walked through the thick snow to the pumpkin patch. As they got closer, he noticed that Hagrid looked absent-minded and not as enthusiastic as he had been in class before.
After seeing everyone arrived, he simply said a few words, gave each person a cabbage, and asked the students to try to feed the Moon Chime Beast.
However, no one felt dissatisfied. On the contrary, everyone was very happy, especially the girls. From the first moment they saw the Moon Chi Beast, they wanted to do this.
Hagrid's unusual behavior actually improved his favorability among students.
"Kyle, do you have time now?" Just when Kyle was about to get the cabbage in the basket, Hagrid suddenly came over and said in a low voice.
"You're the professor of this class, Hagrid." Kyle shrugged, "If you think I have time, that's fine."
"That's right..." Hagrid took Kyle further away and said in a low voice, "Do you still have the spider tonic you gave me before?"
"What?" Kyle didn't realize what Hagrid said for a moment, and it wasn't until he repeated it again that he finally remembered.
He had indeed brewed a spider tonic before, and even bought a large bottle of Acromantula venom from Hagrid's pit... well.
"I was totally lost," Kyle said. "But that stuff isn't too complicated. I can always get a few more bottles if you need it."
"That's great." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, "Just... can you hurry up, Aragog is too old, I should have come to you earlier.
"Oh, by the way, I can pay the reward, and the venom you need, I can give it to you in the afternoon."
