Chapter 715 Kanna Was Transferred to Another School
Harry had never experienced such a miserable lunch. For the whole afternoon, Slughorn spent half of his time talking about topics he thought were interesting, and the other half of his time was spent reminiscing about the past.
He told a lot of interesting stories about some famous wizards, and said that when they were at Hogwarts, they all joined an organization called the Slug Club.
And this famous club was founded by him, and the name was taken from the first half of his surname.
It was just a joke, but Slughorn thought it was very interesting and kept it.
This so-called lunch party ended only when it gradually darkened.
"I didn't even notice that they turned on the lights." Slughorn said in surprise, as if he had just realized that so much time had passed.
"Well, although it's hard to let you go, you must go back and change into your school robes... Kyle, Harry, you are welcome to come to me anytime, of course, the same goes for others."
Several Slytherin students stood up and dawdled to pack their things until Kyle, who was sitting at the door, left the box, and they followed him out.
"It's finally over." Neville said outside the box with a sense of relief.
"Yeah." A voice echoed from the side.
It was Belby. He looked back at the box, winked at Kyle and Harry, and whispered: "Secretly, I actually have a good relationship with my uncle."
"Then why did you say that just now." Harry asked in confusion.
"This is what my uncle taught me." Belby lowered his voice and said: "He doesn't like Professor Slughorn's style. After learning that he was going back to Hoghotz to teach, my uncle thought of the scene just now.
"So he specifically told me that as long as I pretended not to be familiar with him, I could easily get rid of those boring parties. The fact is exactly as he said, isn't it? "
"You are so lucky." Harry smacked his lips.
"Haha." Belby laughed triumphantly, "But this method doesn't work for you. I bet he will definitely come to you again."
"Stop talking." Harry sighed.
He had thought of this a long time ago, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Good luck to you." Belby waved his hand and turned to walk into a box next to him.
"Kyle." At this time, Harry asked, "I saw you seemed to be listening very seriously just now. How did you do it?"
"This." Kyle rubbed his forehead, "It's very simple. Remember the daydream spell? I was actually just sleeping just now."
"Daydream spell... Isn't that a product in Weasley's joke shop?" Harry recalled.
"That's not right. I remember that when I used the daydream spell, my expression would be dull and I would drool. "
Because this is a patented product of Weasley's Joke Shop and is placed in the most conspicuous position, Harry remembers it very clearly.
But Kyle didn't look like he was asleep just now.
"You don't know this." Kyle explained with a smile: "The original intention of inventing the Daydream Charm is actually the same as the quick-acting skipping candy. If it is so obvious, what is its use."
"But, I clearly remember..."
"That was added deliberately to confuse the professor who might go to the store." Kyle said with a smile.
Harry immediately showed a look of annoyance on his face. Why didn't Fred and George tell him about such an important thing!
"Well, we'd better go back quickly!" Kyle glanced at the sky outside, "The train should be here soon."
Several people quickened their pace and returned to the last carriage, and Harry followed.
As prefects, Hermione and Ron have to maintain order. He is also alone now, and it doesn't matter where he goes.
On the other side, in the Slytherin sixth grade carriage.
"How is it, Zabini. "Draco Malfoy asked, "What does Slughorn want to do?"
"He just wants to curry favor with people who are related to dignitaries." Zabini said contemptuously.
"Who are they?" Pansy asked on the side.
"McLaggen from Gryffindor." Zabini said.
"His uncle is a senior official in the Ministry of Magic..." Malfoy said nonchalantly.
"Belby from Ravenclaw."
"That's a fool." Pansy chuckled.
Zabini mentioned a few more names, but without exception, these people were ridiculed, especially when Neville was mentioned, Pansy even more unscrupulously mocked Slughorn's taste, thinking that he was old and confused, so he invited such a recognized fool.
"Oh, and that Potter, and Kyle from Hufflepuff." Zabini shrugged, "You didn't see how enthusiastic Slughorn was at the time. If you don't know, you would think he has a good relationship with Kyle. "
This time Malfoy didn't say anything, and even the mean Pansy kept her mouth shut.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. Pansy peeled a piece of chocolate and wanted to feed it to Malfoy, but he dodged it.
"Don't be angry, Draco." Pansy said, "That Slughorn must not know that you were on the train, so he didn't invite you."
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Zabini said, "I noticed that Slughorn didn't invite anyone who had a Death Eater at home... Mr. Malfoy was wanted by the Aurors two months ago."
"Why should I care about his opinion?" Malfoy laughed strangely, "I may not be in Hogwarts next year. What does it matter to me whether some old fool likes me or not?
"You never know what I am going to do. That is more important and exciting."
The whole box fell into silence again.
Zabini asked tentatively: "Are you referring to... him?"
Malfoy shrugged and did not comment.
But this answer was met with sarcasm from Zabini.
"Who do you think you are..." He said sarcastically: "You are only sixteen years old. Why do you work for him? Do you have the qualifications?"
"In fact, I do!" Malfoy said softly: "The Dark Lord never cares about age. He only cares about whether you have the ability and how to show your loyalty to him.
"Besides, some things have nothing to do with age. When I complete them, I will become the person he trusts most... because only I can do it."
Crabbe and Goyle stared at Malfoy blankly, their mouths wide open, and the sarcasm in Zabini's eyes gradually disappeared.
He didn't think Malfoy had the guts to lie about such a thing.
Could this be true? He had gained the Dark Lord's trust at the age of sixteen?
Perhaps because of jealousy, Zabini's expression gradually became distorted.
But Malfoy didn't notice these. Perhaps it was the first time he was looked down upon, or for some other reason, his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made up his mind.
...
The train gradually slowed down and finally stopped at Hogsmeade Station.
When the door opened, Kyle was the first to walk out.
"Kyle." Harry followed behind and asked, "I remember you are also a prefect, don't you need to maintain order?"
"Oh, I forgot." Kyle said without looking back, "But I'm down, so let's do it, they will definitely be fine."
After that, he walked quickly to the place where the carriages were parked.
Harry hesitated for a moment and didn't follow. He had agreed with Ron and Hermione before that he would wait for them here.
On the other side, Kyle didn't care whether Harry followed or not, and went straight to the long row of carriages.
Normally, a carriage would not start until it was full of four people, but Kyle managed to do this with just a piece of warthog leg meat.
A carriage left the main group and entered the castle along the path.
The Thestrals were very fast and arrived at the familiar oak door a few minutes later.
Kyle jumped off the carriage and climbed the stone steps into the castle.
"Why are you alone?" Professor McGonagall, who was waiting here, glanced behind Kyle... The next carriage was still at the school gate.
"I have something to do, so I came early." Kyle said. "Sorry, Professor McGonagall, I have to go to the common room first."
"Okay, go quickly." Professor McGonagall said, "Remember to attend the opening banquet later."
Kyle nodded.
He planned to go to the common room first to see if Connor had returned. If not, he would go to Snape to ask.
Kyle felt that Snape would probably not tell him... Maybe Dumbledore knew it too.
Passing through the entrance hall, Kyle came to the corridor leading to the kitchen.
But just as he took out his wand and was about to knock on the barrel, the door of the common room opened by itself.
Connor, wearing a school uniform, came out from inside.
"Kyle!" She said with some surprise: "I was just about to go to the hall. Are you back?"
"Ah, yes." Kyle put down his wand and couldn't help asking: "By the way, why didn't you take the train?"
Connor's face froze, and she walked silently towards the hall.
"Actually," she said after a moment of silence. "I almost couldn't go back to Hogwarts this year."
"Can't come back?" Kyle frowned, "Is this what Professor Snape meant?"
"Yeah." Connor nodded and said, "He took me to Norway when I just got off school to take the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association.
Everything was going well until we left Norway yesterday, but he took me directly to France and said that he had already agreed with Beauxbatons that I would go to school there this year."
There was a noise around, and they had already arrived at the hall.
"I never understood why I had to learn French." Connor continued, "I thought the person in charge of the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association was a French wizard, but I didn't expect it was because of this."
Kyle stood at the door and didn't go in.
He suddenly thought that maybe it would be good for Connor to go to school in Beauxbatons this year, at least it was safe enough there.
But why did she come back again?
Could it be Snape...it shouldn't be.
Since Snape has decided to leave Connor in France, he will never bring her back, otherwise why would he bother.
But if it wasn't Snape...
"You didn't go to see Ms. Maxime." He turned around and asked.
"I thought so too." Connor showed a sly smile: "Although I don't know why Professor Snape did this, I will definitely not stay in Beauxbatons.
"Coincidentally, I know you are familiar with the headmaster of Beauxbatons, so I thought, maybe I can ask her to help send me back. "
"Ms. Maxime agreed?" Kyle said in surprise.
"I didn't see her." Connor said. "I found Gabrielle, Fleur's sister. She told me that Ms. Maxim had not been in school for a long time, and another person had sent me back."
"Another person? Who?"
"I don't know him." Connor shook her head and said, "I met him next to the Magic Fountain in Beauxbatons...
"Did you know? There is a particularly beautiful magic fountain there. It is said to be carved out of a whole piece of crystal. It is not water, but a magic potion... sometimes it is a healing potion, sometimes it is a sobriety potion."
As she spoke, Kangna unconsciously changed the topic. She seemed to want to find out where so many potions came from and where they went after that.
But Kyle didn't care about this. Beauxbatons valued alchemy, and it was normal to have some weird magic items.
"Hmm, what next?" he asked.
"Then I met an old wizard. He seemed to know you and said there was a way to send me back to Hogwarts."
They heard a heavy knock on the door, and it seemed that a new student had arrived. At the urging of Professor McGonagall, Kyle and Connor quickly walked into the auditorium.
The door behind him slowly closed, and Kyle was also thinking about who the old wizard Connor was talking about.
In Beauxbatons, it was someone he knew, which was not much.
Apart from Ms. Maxim, there were only Fleur, Gabrielle, and Professor Locknir whom I met in Romania.
But none of them meet the conditions.
After the two of them came to sit down at the Hufflepuff table, Professor McGonagall also came in with the new students.
While they were being sorted, Kyle asked again: "Did you ask his name?"
"He didn't say." Kangna shook her head.
"Then how did you come back?"
"Apparition." Kangna said, "But the old wizard was really old. When I grabbed his arm, his arm broke without much force. I was shocked at the time."
Well, now Kyle knows who it is.
There are many older wizards in the magic world, but the only one who is so old that it breaks at the touch of a touch is Nicoléme, who has lived for more than six hundred years.
That makes sense.
Although Nico lives in Devon all year round, he occasionally goes to France for vacation to listen to operas and the like. Like a randomly refreshed NPC, many people have encountered him.
And Beauxbatons is Nico's alma mater, so it makes sense for him to go back and check it out... I just don't know how Nico met Connor.
Soon, the sorting was over, and all the freshmen came to their respective colleges. The originally empty golden plates were immediately filled with various kinds of food.
Kyle, who hadn't eaten much all day, didn't think about Nico anymore and picked a piece of grilled steak for himself.
"By the way, how was your assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association?"
"It went very smoothly." Kangna couldn't help but smile: "Although the process was a bit bumpy, some people thought that I was too young and should take the assessment again after two years, but Mr. Damocles didn't think so. He insisted on taking me He joined the list and personally supervised the process of brewing the potion."
"This is the first time I know that making a potion depends on your age. Could this increase the success rate of the potion?"
Kyle snorted disdainfully, "If he is not strong enough, no matter how old he is, Crucible will not give him face... By the way, do you still remember who are the people who want to disqualify you from the assessment?"
"What do you want to do?" Kangna glanced at him.
"Of course it's a surprise for them." Kyle took some French fries for himself. "This seems to be aimed at you, but actually it's also aimed at me... After all, all wizards in the UK know that the Ministry of Magic has I’m the youngest.”
"Don't come here, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Kangna gently kicked Kyle's calf from below. "Although they are a bit old-fashioned, they didn't object after I passed the assessment. You must not do anything unnecessary!"
"How is it possible? Who do you think I am?" Seeing Kang Na's unconcerned look, Kyle also changed the subject at the right time and said, "But why did you go to Norway to take the assessment?"
"Because Mr. Damocles is in Norway. It is said that he discovered a special herb there that can improve the wolfsbane potion." Kangna said.
Damocles was Belby's uncle whom he met on the train. He was also the inventor of Wolfsbane potion and a famous potion master. It was reasonable for him to be responsible for the assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists.
"So you passed?"
"Not sure yet." Kangna took a bite of the fried pork chop. "The results won't come out until after Christmas, but I think it's fine."
"Then it must have passed." Kyle said with a smile.
