Chapter Seventy-Three: The First Snow at Hogwarts
Over time, Kyle has become more and more interested in night tours as a wholesome activity, and in recent weeks he has been running out every night more often than Fred and George.
This may also have something to do with what happened to the twins recently.
The pile of moon idiot beast feces they had worked so hard to bring back before smashed into their hands without accident.
No one in the Little Wizard wants it.
Diagon Alley is not available for related shops.
But the twins were unwilling to leave it at that, and in the end, they didn't know which of their tendons was wrong, so they went to the greenhouse and wanted to sell the goods to Professor Sprout at a low price.
Not surprisingly, their night trip was discovered, and the consequences were very serious.
Professor Sprout only glanced at it, and knew where the things in their hands came from.
There are so many of them, they could only come from the Forbidden Forest.
And the time to collect the feces of the moon idiot beast, Professor Sprout is naturally very clear.
It's just a matter of going to the Forbidden Forest at night, and you dare to run to show off in front of the professor?
This kind of provocative behavior of Chiguoguo couldn't stand even the mild-mannered Professor Sprout, and carried them directly to Professor McGonagall's office.
Although the twins try to explain that they picked it up near Hagrid's pumpkin patch, no one believes them.
Because Hagrid had been busy with other things at that time, and hadn't taken care of the pumpkin patch for a long time.
Frustrated and angry, Professor McGonagall scolded them for cleaning the bathroom for a week.
Filch was even more eager to move his office next to the Gryffindor Tower, and watch them all the time.
But in this way, it is convenient for Kyle.
After Mikel and Ryan fell into a deep sleep, Kyle snuck out of bed and tiptoed out of the common room.
After putting on the silver-green scarf as usual, Kyle took out his wand and tapped it on his forehead.
"Phantom Phantom."
A cold sensation quickly spread from the top of my head, as if I had been poured a basin of ice water.
Immediately afterward, Kyle's body appeared in the same color as the wall behind him.
Illusion Charm.
Kyle has been studying the spell since his last return from the Forbidden Forest.
Although the invisibility cloak is convenient and easy to use, it also has many drawbacks, and if you don't pay attention or walk fast, you may expose your feet.
In comparison, the Transfiguration Charm is better to use.
It's just that this spell is a bit troublesome, it took him three days to get started, and his body color is not smooth enough when it changes with the environment.
Fortunately, Hogwarts Castle was pitch black at night, and this small imperfection didn't make a difference.
When everything was ready, Kyle made his way to the library on the second floor.
This is where he recently went on a night out.
He likes to read, but some books are not suitable for reading during the day, and must be read secretly by himself while it is dark.
The library door was closed, and a large brass lock hung between the two doors.
Kyle pulled out the master key and slid the brass lock with a single twist, then he carefully pushed open a crack and squeezed sideways into the library.
At night, the library was dark and eerie.
"Fluorescent flickering."
Kyle walked through the rows of bookshelves with his wand in his hand until he reached the back half of the library before stopping at a sign.
On the signage, the words "forbidden book area" look very tempting.
Kyle carefully stepped over the rope separating the books from the rest of the collection, using the light on his wand to read the titles.
In order to prevent being discovered or accidents, Kyle is also very particular about choosing books.
Any cover with pictures (including, but not limited to, portraits, fantastic beasts, symbols of all kinds...... Don't.
Don't cover anything without it.
Don't be thick and big.
Don't have strange traces.
Don't look too old to look ...... This is mainly for fear of breaking the book when turning the book, and it will be troublesome if it can't be recovered.
Kyle walked through the forbidden area for a few moments, until he reached the sixth row of shelves, and pulled out a black book with gilded lettering from it.
The book is thin, and the floral fonts on the cover are peeling off a lot, and Kyle can barely make out the meaning of the last two words.
"Exploring ......"
That's it.
After choosing the book, Kyle sat down on the floor, just like he had done the first few times he came, and opened it and read it slowly.
Compared to the regular book collection, the content of the forbidden area is generally much more obscure, and when he encounters something that he does not understand or understand, Kyle will use the shorthand quill pen he carries with him to transcribe the content.
This method is much more cumbersome than using the Copy Charm directly, but it is safe.
Who knows if there are any outlandish prohibitions in these books, so it's better not to cast spells on them just to keep it safe.
……
By the time Kyle left the library, it was already two hours later.
On the way back, Kyle unexpectedly encounters Peeves, but with the protection of the Illusion Charm, the other party does not notice him.
The next morning, Kyle, who had planned to sleep until 8:50 and wake up, was dragged out of bed by his two roommates at half-past seven.
"Wake up, Kyle, wake up!"
Ignoring Kyle's reaction, the two pulled him out of bed without saying a word, and then one dragged him by the window with one of his arms.
"Look, it's snowing!"
Mikel opened the window, unguarded, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes slapped directly on Kyle's face.
"Hiss......"
Kyle shuddered, and instantly fell asleep.
Kyle rubbed his face, feeling a little familiar with this scene, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Let's go out and have a look!" Mikel excited, "This is the first snow at Hogwarts. ”
Kyle shook his head in decline.
What's so nice about the snow, it's better to have this time to sleep again, he slept late yesterday, and today is not the weekend, what if he gets sleepy during class.
But Mikel and Ryan don't think so.
They kept urging Kyle to wash up and change his clothes, as if we wouldn't leave if you didn't go.
"This was the first snow we've experienced since we arrived at Hogwarts, and it makes a lot of sense!"
Mikel said, "It's a waste of sleep right now, and there's time to catch up on sleep in the history of magic class for a while." ”
"yes, the first lesson of the day is the history of magic."
Thinking of this, Kyle stopped insisting and walked out of the dormitory with them after changing his clothes.
In just one night, the snow on the ground reached more than a foot thick.
When they arrived at the open space outside Hogwarts Castle, there were already quite a few people here.
Kyle also sees Fred and George, who are building snow lions in a clearing with a couple of Gryffindors......?
Well, theoretically, they should have piled up lions, but they looked a little ugly, and they looked a lot like a phelober caterpillar practicing yoga.
