Chapter 752: Taking the professor to see the world (page 12)
"What? You said you wanted to take leave?"
In the office, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle and thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.
"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "About a month or two. During this period, I hope to be able to control my own time."
"Um..." Professor McGonagall frowned and did not answer immediately, but asked: "Does Professor Sprout know that you want to ask for leave?"
"I know." Kyle said, "I went to Professor Sprout first, and she agreed, but she could only agree that I would not go to the herbal medicine class.
"And she also told me that if you want to take a long leave of absence, you must get the principal's signature."
"Indeed," said Professor McGonagall.
"But Professor Dumbledore has been away from school recently." Kyle shrugged, "So I can only come here."
Because Dumbledore was too busy, Professor McGonagall, who was the vice-principal, was responsible for most things in the school. It was no problem to just sign something.
"I can agree to your request." Professor McGonagall looked at the application form that Kyle handed over. After hesitating for a moment, he signed his name on it and said at the same time:
"But I must remind you that you can't leave the school even if you don't go to class. You need a parent's application to leave the school, and the students themselves cannot make the decision. This is non-negotiable, no matter how excellent your grades are."
"Of course, I understand." Kyle said, "I'm in the castle and not going anywhere."
Seeing that Kyle agreed, Professor McGonagall returned the application to Kyle and asked casually.
"Can you tell me why?"
"Ah, I may have to take an important make-up class during this period. Time is a bit tight, so I have to give up the main class."
"What did you say?" Professor McGonagall raised her head suddenly.
She originally thought that Kyle wanted to stay in the library until graduation. After all, this situation was not uncommon at Hogwarts.
After many students with excellent grades reach the second half of the seventh grade, it doesn't matter whether they go to class or not. Going to the library to review by yourself is also a good option.
"Who wants to give you extra lessons?" Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously: "Professor Dumbledore?"
In her opinion, only the principal can give Kyle extra lessons.
"No, it's Rowena Ravenclaw."
Kyle said something in a very calm tone that almost made Professor McGonagall jump.
In her excitement, she even broke the quill in her hand.
"You said...who?"
"Rowena Ravenclaw." Kyle said again: "Professor Dumbledore must have mentioned that Ravenclaw's diadem is in the castle, and it also carries part of her memory."
Professor McGonagall nodded stiffly.
Dumbledore did say that the professors almost turned the castle upside down in order to find the crown, but they never found it.
Because of this incident, differences arose among several professors. Some believed Dumbledore's words, while others thought he was old and confused.
Although Professor McGonagall did not express her position clearly, she was more inclined towards the latter... at least until she saw the crown.
"I met her yesterday." Kyle continued, "I did a small thing for Ms. Ravenclaw, and she arranged this make-up lesson to thank me."
Professor McGonagall took a few deep breaths.
At a certain moment, she thought Kyle was under an advanced confusion spell.
A person who lived a thousand years ago not only came back to life, but also had to teach people... It must be impossible for any normal person to say such ridiculous things.
But the person in front of her was Kyle, and she was a little shaken again.
Because in the story told by Dumbledore, it was Kyle who brought the Ravenclaw Diadem back to Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Kyle said.
Kyle was not prepared to hide the fact that Ravenclaw had opened a "cram school" in the Room of Requirement from others, especially the professors at Hogwarts.
Everyone has the same goal, and even Ravenclaw himself doesn't mind. Why should he hide it? It's not necessary.
Of course, it’s only for professors, not students.
The main reason is that there are too many people, and the content of the supplementary classes is still mainly based on runes. In the entire school, there are probably not even fifty people who have taken the ancient runes class.
And among these fifty people, almost all of them could barely translate runes. Even if they went there, it would be useless. At most, they would just visit Hogwarts a thousand years ago.
Moreover, Ravenclaw also said that the duration of the "cram school" is limited, and Kyle does not want to waste time on people visiting it.
Seeing that Professor McGonagall was still a little skeptical, Kyle said bluntly, "If you don't believe it, I can take you to the place where you take extra classes."
"Well."
Professor McGonagall stood up immediately, but before she could walk out, she heard Kyle continue:
"But not now..."
"why?"
"Because the key is not on me, I can't get in now." Kyle spread his hands, "If you don't mind, professor, how about after dinner."
There was no other way, so Professor McGonagall had no choice but to agree.
After Kyle left the office, Professor McGonagall looked at the homework in front of her and couldn't concentrate. Finally, she simply pushed them aside, stood up and walked towards the principal's office.
Although he knew that Dumbledore was unlikely to come back, Professor McGonagall still wanted to try his luck.
Mainly, this thing was so incredible that it was difficult for her to accept it in a short period of time.
Rowena Ravenclaw from a thousand years ago returned to Hogwarts through her diadem and took the initiative to help a student with her classes.
Every piece of information Kyle reveals challenges her sixty years of knowledge and is a great test of her sanity.
Professor McGonagall desperately wanted to hear another person's opinion, and Dumbledore was the best person... maybe he knew something.
But unfortunately, there was no one in the principal's office. Dumbledore was still out fighting Voldemort at the moment.
Professor McGonagall subconsciously wanted to write him a letter, but after hesitating, she put away the unfolded parchment.
Professor McGonagall knew very well how dangerous it was to deal with Voldemort, and she did not want to disturb Dumbledore over something that had not been confirmed.
Isn't it just dinner? She can wait.
Professor McGonagall did not return to her office after leaving the principal's office. She must not be in the mood to correct homework now, so she could only spend time somewhere else.
Professor McGonagall thought for a while and walked straight towards the greenhouse on the outside field.
……
In this way, the time quickly came to the afternoon.
Around three o'clock, a door suddenly appeared in a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle.
This strange situation startled a passing third-year Gryffindor and subconsciously ran away.
