Chapter 399 Snape's Gift

In the afternoon, Kyle finally returned to Hogwarts.

The Thestrals did not return to the starting point, but landed near Hagrid's hut.

"I was just wondering when you would be back."

Hagrid came over and patted the Thestrals' wings, "How do you feel?"

"It can completely replace the train as a means of transportation for school and holidays." Kyle said with a smile.

"The school director will not agree." Hagrid said with some regret, "Raising Thestrals is a huge expense, much more expensive than trains."

"That's true." Kyle nodded.

The Hogwarts Express is not as fast and comfortable as the Thestrals, but it is economical and can be moved out when needed to send all students at once.

The school director is definitely not going to change, Kyle just said it casually.

Before returning to the castle, he gave Hagrid a small bottle of dragon blood as the fare for the Thestrals.

Although the bottle was sealed, the Thestrals' keen sense of smell still smelled the dragon's blood and immediately became agitated.

Hagrid tried to control them, but the effect was not obvious, and he was soon surrounded by three Thestrals.

But at this time, Kyle had returned to the castle.

There was only one person in the Hufflepuff common room, who was frantically making up homework.

"Long time no see, Winsty." Kyle greeted.

After hearing the movement, Winsty looked up and said in surprise: "Is the train arriving so soon this year?"

"Oh, no, I didn't come by train." Kyle said, "Where are Connor and Cedric."

"Connor is in the library." She said, "I don't know about Cedric, he went out early in the morning, maybe with a few people from Gryffindor."

"Thank you, I see."

"You're welcome." Winsty said and continued to lower her head.

The price of two weeks of crazy fun during the holiday is that she now has homework for five courses to do, and she doesn't know if she can finish it today.

Kyle looked at her sympathetically and turned to walk into the dormitory.

The small room was filled with various gifts. Kyle picked some that interested him and opened them.

This year, Professor Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley gave the same gifts, both sweaters.

Mrs. Weasley gave a reddish-brown one, while Professor Dumbledore's was light yellow with brown stripes, and the style was also more novel, obviously he had studied it specially.

It seems that he really wants to open a store in Hogsmeade.

As for other gifts, they are basically various books, candies and the like.

Halfway through opening the box, Kyle heard a knock on the door.

Then Connor opened the door and walked in.

"I heard from Winsty that you are back."

"Yeah." Kyle said, "Because I didn't take the train, I came back early.

"Do you need help?" Connor asked, looking at the gifts around.

"Of course, you came just in time." Kyle made room.

"Where did you go on vacation? "

Connor found a place to sit down, unpacking the packages, and asked curiously: "Cedric said that the letters we wrote to you were finally sent to your dormitory, but you were obviously not in the dormitory."

"I'm at Nicolas Flamel's house." Kyle explained, "The owl couldn't find my location."

"Are you in Paris?" Connor asked.

She remembered that Kyle had been there once during the previous vacation and stayed there for a month.

"It's not that far, this time it's in Devon." Kyle said.

...

With Connor joining in, the gifts were almost unpacked soon.

Connor picked up the last box. There was no signature on it, but she recognized it at a glance. It was Snape's handwriting.

She opened the box with some curiosity...

Inside was a bare old feather pen and a small bottle.

Connor looked up and took advantage of Kyle's inattention to throw the broken feather pen under the bed calmly.

"Kyle, Professor Snape gave you a bottle of joy potion. "

"What?" Kyle raised his head in surprise.

Snape actually gave him a potion? This is quite strange.

He had thought that Snape would give him a broken feather pen... just right to match the moldy parchment last year.

"Look." Connor handed over the potion bottle.

The bottle is not big, and the potion inside is a beautiful peacock blue color. When placed under the sun, you can see some bubble-like things.

"Is it really a joy potion?" Kyle whispered.

It must be said that the characteristics can match, but he still can't believe it in his heart.

It shouldn't be, could it be that Snape drank the potion brewed by Mikel?

"Of course it's true."

Connor said happily, "When I gave Professor Snape the Christmas gift, he said he wanted to give you a surprise."

"Christmas gift?" Kyle asked, "What did you give him."

"A set of potion grinding tools. "Connor said, "And the very sweet coffee in Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop."

Kyle's heart tightened.

"So you bought the coffee that time, didn't you want to give it to Professor Dumbledore?"

"No." Connor said as a matter of course, "Didn't you say before that the headmaster and Professor Snape recommended that very sweet pudding?

I thought he should like that kind of sweet thing too."

"Does he like it?" Kyle asked.

"You should like it." Kangna thought for a moment and said, "He came to ask me where I bought it the next day."

"you said so?"

"I told him," said Connor. "I told him that we drank this at Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse in Hogsmeade."

…

Kyle took a deep breath and silently put away the bottle of "joy potion".

No need to think about it, this thing is definitely fake, and it is definitely impossible for him to drink it anyway.

Kyle still wants to live until graduation.

And recently, he had to avoid Snape, and he also had to prepare more bezoar for detoxification.

This thing is sold in Hogsmeade, and the price is not expensive. Kyle is going to stock up on it for a hundred yuan.

Be prepared.

Not long after opening the gifts, the sky got dark.

The other students also came back, walking into the common room talking and laughing with the excitement of the holidays.

The opening party was as sumptuous as ever.

Dumbledore, wearing a purple robe, walked briskly into the auditorium.

"Kyle, have you noticed that the principal seems very happy?" Cedric asked softly, holding a piece of baked potato.

Not just him, almost everyone could see that the principal looked much happier than usual.

"Maybe I received some good news."

Kyle glanced up.

Dumbledore seemed to have said something witty to Professor McGonagall next to him, making her laugh non-stop.
