After hearing Dumbledore's words, Kyle was quite surprised.

Only students who have made significant contributions to Hogwarts will receive the Special Contribution to the School Award, which is also the highest personal honor for young wizards during their school years.

Fifty years ago, a famous Noseless Wizard, the creator of the Defence Against the Dark Arts curse, Mr. Tom the Soul Splitter, won the award in his fifth year.

Kyle is only in first grade, though, four years before him.

In that respect alone, Kyle could have pointed at the other person's nose...... Maxilla, very frankly say the last sentence, you are too inferior.

As for what happens after that, that's another story.

"Thank you for your review, Headmaster." Kyle smiled.

He was not thankful for the special contribution award, but for Dumbledore's words.

In particular, the word "noble spirit" in it......

Or that Lao Deng can be the principal, and he can see his inner qualities at a glance.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it.

"You deserve it, and you deserve it." Dumbledore blinked, "It's rare for someone to have the courage to face two adult wizards alone in their first year, let alone defeat one."

The school directors unanimously agreed that it was the best decision I had made this year to present the Special Contribution Award to Ling. ”

They're probably afraid of trouble, Kyle said to himself, he doesn't think the school board thinks so much.

Unlike Dumbledore, who was preoccupied with school, they were more concerned about their own interests.

If Kyle did die in the Forbidden Forest, it wouldn't be long before the entire wizarding world knew that Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts professor would kill the student.

At that time, even if Hogwarts is not closed, there will be a lot of trouble, and the school board naturally does not want this to happen.

Luckily, Kyle is fine.

They probably wanted to use this special contribution award to send Chris and Diana away.

Kyle didn't bother to care what they thought, at least he was happy with the result.

"Headmaster, there's another thing."

"Just ask."

"Hagrid, I noticed he wasn't in the house."

"In fact, Hagrid was the first person to be attacked yesterday." Dumbledore said, "Oron tricked him into drinking the undiluted Winged Demon venom, and then hid Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest after he fell unconscious. ”

"Then Hagrid ...... now"

"Don't worry Kyle, Hagrid's body is better than that of ordinary wizards, and his life is not in danger."

Dumbledore reassured, "And I also got a way to get rid of the Winged Demon Venom from Newt, and soon he can return from St. Mungo." ”

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, he had almost forgotten that Hagrid was a half-giant with high blood and defense.

And the venom of the curled demon is a bit special, compared to spilling it on the body, it is not so serious to drink.

"Headmaster, I have one last question."

"Tell me about it."

"That witch ......," Kyle said, "why is she hiding next to Connor?" ”

"Ah, I've been wondering when you're going to ask about it."

Dumbledore said, "It's a pity Kyle, because this matter involves the Prince family, I can't tell you too much, I can only tell you that the witch really has bad intentions, and that her purpose is a key." ”

"Keys?"

"That's right, the key to the Gringotts vault." Dumbledore said quietly, "Her status is very special, as long as she can get the key to the vault, she can take all the inheritance left by the Connor family in the open." ”

Kyle frowned, the word legacy made him think of something instantly.

He looked at Dumbledore, but received no response.

Dumbledore didn't seem to be planning to continue the conversation, he put the box of Bibi Beans next to his bed, and said with a smile, "Okay, enough questions, I suggest you start enjoying the candies." I also noticed a mint-smelling cockroach pile inside...... This is a limited edition candy. ”

"If you like it, I can pass it on to you." Kyle said sincerely.

This is not adulterated at all, he really wants to send those cockroaches out of the pile.

Dumbledore refused, though.

He stood up and said, "Finally, I have to ask your forgiveness for me, because of something, I was not at the castle yesterday, so I did not show up in time for your most dangerous time, which is a dereliction of my duty as a headmaster. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to care."

……

Kyle didn't stay in the hospital for long, and Madam Pomfrey agreed to his request to be discharged shortly after Dumbledore left.

Thanks to his usual popularity, Kyle was surrounded by a crowd of people as soon as he returned to the Hufflepuff common room, and he had to respond to their concerns one by one.

An hour later, it was the same familiar abandoned classroom.

"Kyle, I heard you killed an adult wizard?!"

As soon as they met, Fred couldn't wait to ask, "Is this true!" ”

"Don't try to deny it." "As the strikers left the Forbidden Forest, someone overheard their conversation. The witch who was brought back by Professor McGonagall was beaten like that by you. ”

“……”

Is the sense of secrecy of the hitter so poor, why not let the Aurors come to such an important mission!

Kyle rubbed his forehead, but luckily he didn't want to hide it

"It's just luck, the other party's strength is too weak." Kyle said, "I guess she definitely didn't go to school at Hogwarts. ”

"Please, that's an adult wizard who can use dark magic, don't you say it so easily, okay?"

Cedric joked, "It's going to look like we're useless." ”

"Okay." Kyle said, "I actually went through nine deaths, so I waited hard for rescue and survived the dark wizard. ”

George nodded solemnly, "That sounds much more comfortable." ”

"But I didn't realize that Professor Oren was also a dark wizard."

Cedric lamented: "And his class was also very interesting, much better than last year." ”

"Attention, Cedric." Fred reminded, "Oron isn't a professor anymore, he almost killed Kyle." ”

"Sorry, I'm just used to it." Cedric hurriedly apologized.

"No one thought of it." Cho on the side said, "Even Davis can't believe it's true, he thinks it's Oron who someone else is impersonating with a polyjuice potion."

By the way, Davis is the same boy who wanted to complain about Oron before, and he almost got into a fight with you Gryffindor. ”

"I know him." Fred sighed, "He's right, we all misread that person." ”

Speaking of Oren, the few people were silent a lot, and even Fred and George, who were usually the most joyful, became quiet.

They had liked Oron before, and they had hoped that he would break the curse and stay at Hogwarts next year.

But now everything has changed, and Oron is actually a dark wizard!

They'll probably never meet a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who gives class a humorous lesson and doesn't check his homework.

For a while, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and none of the five spoke.

That's right, there were only five people here this time, and the one who was the least one was Connor.

Pochi ...... Or maybe the witch's affair hit her hard, she had been locking herself in her dorm room for the past few days, and only came out to take a look when Kyle was discharged from the hospital and returned to the common room.

But the others didn't know this, and Cedric thought Connor was scared, so he kept hiding in the dormitory.
