Chapter 352 Respecting the Aesthetics of Every Wizard

After leaving Flourish and Blotts, Kyle bought some other things before going to the Magical Creatures store to find Harry and his group.

Hermione had been saying she wanted to buy an owl, but in the end she bought a fat ginger cat named Crookshanks.

To be honest, this cat was really ugly. Its face looked like someone stepped on it while it was sleeping. It was flat and flat.

In addition, its hair was very long, so when you look at it from the side, you can hardly see any outline of its facial features. It is basically flat.

Perhaps it is because wizards have different aesthetics. In the eyes of others, it may be a cardboard box with hair, but Hermione likes it very much and thinks it is prettier than any cat.

Okay, everyone has their own preferences...

In line with the principle of respecting everyone's different aesthetics, Kyle did not raise any objections, but just nodded in agreement.

The same was true for Harry next to him.

As for Ron, he was not in the mood.

The clerk here didn't have any good solution for his rat. After finding out that Ron didn't plan to change a new pet, he perfunctorily recommended him a rat tonic.

"Do you think this thing is useful?"

On the way back, Ron held his rat in one hand and the bottle of potion in the other, wondering: "I feel it is far worse than the tonic Kyle gave me before."

"Forget the feeling." Kyle said: "To put it bluntly, this thing is sugar water with some red amaranth juice. I can mix a bucket of it in minutes. By the way, how much did you pay for it?"

"It's expensive..." Ron said with a bitter face, "Two Sickles!"

"Your money is really easy to make." Kyle shrugged, "This thing can make a profit even if it is sold for two Knuts."

Ron's face became uglier.

Unfortunately, when he was in the store, he fed Banban a mouthful of potion, so it was definitely impossible to return it.

He looked at the listless Scabbers and asked, "Can I buy tonic from you later?"

"Of course, anytime, and it doesn't cost money."

Kyle noticed that when Ron held Scabbers in his hands, the cat named Crookshanks just looked at the mouse lazily, then turned his persimmon face to the side and continued to wag his tail, looking completely uninterested.

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, they found Mr. Weasley sitting at the bar reading the Daily Prophet.

"Harry, Kyle!" He looked up and said with a smile, "You are all here, how have you been these days?"

"Very good, thank you." Harry said.

"Excellent." Kyle sat next to him.

"I heard from Charlie that you helped a lot." Mr. Weasley looked Kyle up and down, "Luckily you are not injured. Molly has been complaining that they shouldn't let a child like you participate in such a dangerous thing."

"It's not as dangerous as you think."

Kyle smiled and said, "Besides, Mr. Scamander and my father are here. When the dragon approaches, I just need to stand behind them."

"That's true."

"Wait, dangerous? Dragon?" Ron frowned, "What are you talking about, Kyle encountered a dragon in Romania?"

Hermione and Harry were also very curious.

"More than one..." Mr. Weasley roughly told what he knew.

Anyway, the matter over there is over, and there is no need to keep it secret.

The melee of dozens of dragons...magical animal masters from various countries...and the last poacher...

These experiences made them stunned.

Hermione thought her trip to France was exciting enough, but compared with Kyle, it immediately became much more dull, even boring.

"More than a dozen magical beast masters..." She sighed, "It would be nice if I could go to Romania too."

"No." Mr. Weasley put down the Daily Prophet in his hand and shook his head, saying, "At that time, tourists were prohibited from entering the protected area. Even if we went, it would be useless. At most, we could just walk around the nearby gathering place."

"Speaking of gathering places... I brought you gifts." Kyle opened the leather bag and took out the things he had prepared in advance.

The one for Mr. Weasley was a dragonwood cane.

Last year at Flourish and Blotts, Mr. Weasley almost suffered from the lack of melee weapons, so Kyle picked this one on purpose.

This kind of wood is strong and heavy. When fighting, you can use it to smash the opponent's head directly, and the damage is not much worse than the Stunning Spell.

"This is great."

Mr. Weasley held the cane and waved it from time to time. He obviously liked it very much.

The ones for Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all dragon badges.

The material is dragon scales, with the appearance of a fire dragon carved on it, and it can move. It is one of the most representative souvenirs.

After thanking them, they immediately put them on their robes.

At this moment, Harry suddenly noticed the photo of Sirius Black on the newspaper staring at him.

"Hasn't he been caught yet?"

"No." Mr. Weasley put down his cane and his face became serious. "The Ministry has transferred all of us from our normal posts and tried our best to catch him, but there has been no progress so far."

"If we catch him, will there be a bonus?" Ron asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, Ron." Mr. Weasley looked very nervous. "Black can't be caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard. Don't do anything stupid."

At this moment, Mrs. Weasley walked into the bar carrying a large bag, followed by Fred and George, Percy, who had just become the Head Boy, and Ginny, the youngest child of the Weasley family.

"Hi Kyle!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

As soon as Fred and George came in, they went straight to Kyle, shook his hand, and said, "It's wonderful to see you, old man."

"It's wonderful."

Percy frowned.

"That's enough of you two," said Mrs. Weasley, "Stop trying to imitate Percy."

She stepped forward and hugged Kyle happily.

"Honey, it's so good to see you."

"Me too, Mrs. Weasley," Kyle said.

"So, here's our gift!" At this time, both hands reached out at the same time.

"What gift?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

"Stop pretending." Fred showed a confident expression, "I noticed it right from the moment I walked in. Dad's cane."

"And Ron's badge." George said, "They didn't have these things on them just now."

Kyle smiled and took out the gifts prepared for them, as well as for Mrs. Weasley, Percy and Ginny.

But when it was given to Percy, he acted a little too solemnly, and pretended to shake Kyle's hand, "Thank you so much, I feel very honored."

The tone and demeanor were almost exactly the same as the Romanian Ministry of Magic official who gave them the door key.

Fred and George were imitating him and making all kinds of funny expressions.

Mrs. Weasley gave them a disapproving scolding.

…

That night, instead of returning to the Burrow, the Weasley family decided to spend the night at the Leaky Cauldron.

Mr. Weasley originally wanted Kyle to live here, but Kyle thought about it and refused.

"I met Chris before I came here," said Mr. Weasley, "and he agreed to your staying here for one night."

"But I haven't packed my things yet," Kyle said. "I haven't brought many of the things I need, including books and homework."

Of course, it’s not like Kyle didn’t bring his homework. His luggage has been in the box since two years ago.

He just didn't want to be watched.

Kyle had discovered just now that there was someone in the corner who kept looking at them from time to time.

There was a man at the bar who read the newspaper for half an hour without turning a page.

There was also the old witch drinking mead. Just a few minutes ago, the same position, the same mead, but sitting there was a middle-aged witch.

If his guess was correct, these people should be Aurors who came to protect Harry.

Including Mr. Weasley, but he has another task... to send Harry to King's Cross Station in a more reasonable way tomorrow.

Kyle didn't want to be stared at by so many Aurors. The feeling was really awkward just thinking about it.

Because books and homework were mentioned, Mrs. Weasley stopped insisting, but she did not agree with Kyle going back by himself and insisted on waiting until Chris came over.

Just wait all day.

Chris didn't come back from the Ministry of Magic until they had finished dinner.

"What a pity, Arthur, I wanted to have a drink with you." Chris pulled Kyle and said, "There are too many reports to write, and the ministry is anxious to..."

"I understand." Mr. Weasley winked cryptically, "And I can't drink right now."

"Yes, that's true..."

Chris sighed, "See you at the Ministry tomorrow then."

After saying that, he took Kyle and left the Leaky Cauldron.
