Chapter 189 Fishing for Sniff
And Hermione still remembered that in the first spell class, someone asked Professor Flitwick if he could change the color of the Illumination Spell and make the wand emit red light.
At that time, Professor Flitwick's answer was no, and he said that it had changed the nature of the spell. Even if it could be done, the spell would be completely different and could only be considered another kind of spell.
Hermione really found it hard to believe that Kyle could create a new spell in his second year.
She looked up in the direction of Hufflepuff, where Kyle was chatting and laughing with others.
"Is the gap between wizards really that big?" Hermione sighed a little frustrated.
The banquet started soon. Because she was thinking about it all the time, Hermione didn't even notice what she ate.
Once she almost put the candle hanging on the table into her mouth, but fortunately Harry found it early and stopped her in time.
...
After a sumptuous dinner, everyone packed their luggage early the next morning and prepared to take the train to King's Cross Station.
Mikel and Ryan also went back. Today, during the Christmas holiday, Kyle was still the only one left in the dormitory.
I was used to the noisy days every morning, and now it was suddenly quiet, which was quite uncomfortable.
Because there were few people, Kyle did not go to the auditorium for breakfast, but went to the kitchen to get some food and had a simple meal in the common room.
When Kanna came to the common room, Kyle was studying a stone.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Kanna leaned over and took a look with some curiosity.
At this time, Kyle was holding a magic wand and gesturing at a white pebble on the table in front of him.
Every time he waved his magic wand, some fragments would fall off the pebble.
"Are you carving a stone?" Kanna asked puzzledly.
"I guess so." Kyle stared at the pebble carefully and responded with his head turned back.
Kanna looked at it for a while, but still couldn't see what Kyle was carving.
One end is big while the other end is small, and there is no pattern. It looks like a piece of gravel picked up at random.
Kyle worked hard for a long time, and this is what he made?
Connor felt that she finally found something that Kyle was not good at.
She patted Kyle's shoulder comfortingly, and then left the common room with a smile.
Although she wanted to stay here to watch Kyle's embarrassing scene, unfortunately, she had to hurry up to finish her homework.
The amount of homework for the second grade was much more than last year, and the three days were still very tight.
On the other side, Kyle, who was concentrating on playing with the stone, did not notice that Connor had left.
He carefully polished off some of the excess parts based on his memory, and then picked it up with satisfaction and put it in the sun to look at it.
"Perfect, it's done!"
Kyle wiped off the stone dust on it, then picked up the wand and tapped it lightly.
In just a blink of an eye, the color of the pebble in his hand turned into a crystal clear red, flashing in the sun, looking like a ruby.
Kyle stood up from the sofa, rubbed his wrist and smiled: "How is it, beautiful... Well, where is she?"
At this time, he suddenly realized that Kanna was no longer in the lounge.
"Going to do homework so early?"
Kyle shook his head and went back to the dormitory to take out his suitcase.
Because when he came out of the box last time, Kyle did not deliberately lock the door inside. Just as he opened a crack, a furry black shadow suddenly jumped out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But Kyle was not panicked at all. He calmly took out the ruby and shook it, while counting silently in his mind.
"One... two..."
In less than two seconds, Kyle felt his arm sink.
A furry little thing was clinging to his arm, staring at the ruby.
That was the Niffler he brought from Newt. Because he was worried that it would cause a large-scale theft at Hogwarts, Kyle had locked it in the box during this period.
It happened to be the Christmas holiday now, and when there were few people in the castle, he could let it out to play for a while.
After a few months, the Sniff had grown several times bigger than before, and the fur on its body had completely turned black, looking almost like a moving Bludger.
However, this "Blurger" was polished.
Kyle used his other hand to pull the Sniff off his arm, but even so, it still stared at the ruby and waved its short legs in the air.
"You run pretty fast, no wonder Newt comes to see you every day."
Kyle scratched the Sniff's chin and smiled, "How is it, do you like it?"
The Sniff nodded repeatedly, pointed at the ruby, and looked at Kyle eagerly.
"You really have good taste, if you like it, take a look at it more."
After Kyle finished speaking, the Sniff in his hand was inexplicably quiet for a while, and then struggled more violently, and howled at the same time.
That voice was so aggrieved.
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I say I would give it to you?"
Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "You are young, but you are very smart. This thing is the Philosopher's Stone. I still need it. Just take a look at it."
...The stone that is transformed by magic is called the Philosopher's Stone. There is nothing wrong with that.
But Sniff didn't care about so much. It only knew that the stone was the brightest thing it had ever seen.
It reached into its pocket and quickly pulled out a handful of small objects.
A button, a piece of broken glass, a few shiny candy wrappers, a few Sickles, and a... gold Galleon.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find the Galleon I put in my pocket that day. It turns out you took it away." Kyle rubbed the little guy's head.
He did come here a few days ago, but he didn't notice when the little guy took the Galleon away.
He really didn't feel anything at all.
And that button... He asked the house elves to make clothes for the trolls, and they used this type of button.
How did this little guy button it off?
Sniff struggled for a moment, and handed them all to Kyle with a distressed look on his face.
Kyle smiled and said, "Are you going to exchange with me?"
Sniff nodded.
"Sorry, I refuse. My things are very precious. Even if all of these are added together, it won't work."
Sniff struggled again and screamed in dissatisfaction.
But Kyle just shook his head firmly and threw it away.
A moment later, it ran over and jumped on Kyle's arm again.
Kyle threw it again, and it came again...
In the end, Kyle even tied a rope to the stone and played the game of fishing for sniffles in the dormitory.
Needless to say, this is much more interesting than fishing.
