Chapter 550 Mr. Diggory Gets Promoted

"Kyle, what are you reading?"

During breakfast, Cedric saw Kyle always staring at a book, and couldn't help asking: "You have been reading this for many days."

It is not unusual for Kyle to read while eating, but it is a bit strange to read only one book for so many consecutive days.

This thing only has a few pages, does it take so long to read... Kyle even stopped playing wizard chess these days. No matter where he saw him, he always held the book in his hand.

"What did you say just now?" Kyle raised his head and asked.

"I said, what are you reading?" Cedric repeated again.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore gave it to me." Kyle rubbed his forehead, and without hiding anything, he pushed the booklet on the table to Cedric and said, "I thought I could learn it in a few days, but this thing is much more difficult than I thought. It will probably take a week."

"It's just a few pieces of parchment, but it takes so long to learn. Is there any complicated spell written on it?"

Cedric curiously leaned over to take a look, and then he stopped talking.

There were only a few words on the parchment, and the rest were all complicated magic runes and symbols that were dazzling.

"Are you learning ancient runes from Professor Dumbledore?" Connor asked on the side.

"You could say that." Kyle hurriedly stuffed a few slices of fried eggs and ham into his mouth, and took a big sip of pumpkin juice before continuing: "What he taught me is a bit complicated, and I must learn this first."

"Is this still the simplest?" Cedric smacked his lips, frowned and looked at the parchment again, "This is the "Extension" symbol, and there is also "Superposition" and "Light". Do you want to make some high-end magic items?"

"No, it's a spell." Kyle said, "The spell invented by Professor Dumbledore is powerful, but extremely difficult to master."

"Oh, I see." Cedric clapped his hands suddenly, "You must be preparing for the third project, what a good move..."

Cedric suddenly closed his mouth and glanced at Furong not far away with some embarrassment.

"I know what you're thinking." Fleur calmly put some fresh leaves on the plate. "You don't need to be so surprised, and you don't need to feel that the secret has been revealed, because before the third project, all warriors are the same.

"In fact, Ms. Maxime has also been teaching me some spells recently that would never appear in textbooks under normal circumstances."

"You learned it too?" Cedric blurted out, "Then why have you never mentioned it."

When he said this, Cedric knew that he had asked a very stupid question.

Fleur is a warrior representing Beauxbatons, so of course she would not take the initiative to reveal her secret weapon to them.

As expected, Fleur turned her head and looked at Cedric with a strange look, as if she was looking at a running sea cucumber.

Cedric blushed and quickly explained, "I'm sorry you misunderstood. What I meant was, why don't you always hold a book like Kyle does?"

"That's because we have another way to learn. "Fleur said, "The way outside the textbook, and Krum is the same. Do you think there is any difference between him in the castle recently and before?"

"Krum..." Cedric thought for a while and shook his head: "It seems not."

He didn't pay much attention to Krum. He only saw him a few times when eating in the auditorium. In his memory, Krum behaved no different from usual... He still ate without saying a word and then left.

"But I saw several times that the headmaster of Durmstrang taught him a strange wand gesture on the deck of the ship, and he would definitely not let you know about these."

Fleur said, "Krum would rather let you... or let Kyle believe that he had nothing prepared.

After all, Kyle's score advantage is too big. Only by hiding more means and trump cards can he have a chance to win the championship in the final project.

"Of course, I am the same. Ms. Maxim will definitely not agree with me telling you these."

"In that case, why do you still say so much." Kyle asked curiously.

"That's because you brought up the topic first."

Fleur glanced at the parchment on the table, then quickly looked away, "It's only fair this way, isn't it?"

Kyle smiled and said nothing.

Just at this time, the owls delivering letters also arrived.

They rushed into the hall, and letters and packages fell into everyone's hands like raindrops.

Kyle first raised his head and took a look at the "Wizard Weekly" received by others. After confirming that the grinning man on the cover was not himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the "Daily Prophet" in front of him.

Although the second event of the Triwizard Tournament has been over for a long time, it still occupies the front page of the newspaper. People seem to have endless topics to talk about what happened under the lake.

The content of the front page this time is the Kelpie. I don't know if it's because Kyle jumped out of the water on it and won the highest score in one fell swoop, this magical animal, which was not so popular at first, quickly became popular in a short period of time.

Although it is forbidden to keep such dangerous magical animals, people always find ways to evade the Ministry of Magic's inspection.

At the bottom of the newspaper is the Ministry of Magic's advice.

"Amos Diggory, Director of the Beast Office at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, believes that people now want to keep kelpies because of impulse. He thinks this is a very stupid behavior. Kelpies are wild and difficult to tame, and are not suitable for keeping. Once you can't stand it and decide to abandon it, it will bear a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate...

"We have dealt with five troubles caused by kelpies this week. I really hope there won't be a sixth time."

"Oh, my dad got a promotion." Cedric also saw the content of the newspaper and said with a smile: "He mentioned this to me last week. I always thought he was joking.

But this will make him more busy. I don't know if he can accompany me to Austria during the holidays this year... We agreed on Christmas."

"Austria?" Kyle asked curiously.

"Yes." Cedric said, "Wasn't the last International Confederation of Wizards held there? I'm a little curious and want to take a look.

"My dad also agreed and said he would take me there during this year's vacation."

"That's probably unlikely." Kyle spread his hands and said.

The Beast Office is the busiest place in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It has a total of six small departments, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day.

When Chris was in this position, he only had one day off every two weeks on average.

"That's a pity." Cedric said, but his expression did not change much.

It's good to travel to Austria, but Mr. Diggory's promotion is also exciting.

Kyle continued to read the newspaper, and on the second page, he suddenly saw a familiar name.
