Chapter 123: Two Cakes
At the end of July, the village of San Cachpol welcomed a special guest.
Hagrid was discharged from the hospital, and with the help of Newt and the therapist, he remembered everything that had happened before. At the same time, I also learned about the changes in the forbidden forest at the end of the semester from other professors.
Hagrid couldn't believe that Kyle's two life-threatening encounters a month ago had something to do with him.
"Both...... Blame me...... This one...... A sucker! ”
In the living room of Kyle's house, Hagrid covered his face with his hands and sobbed, "Did I cause you to almost die in the Forbidden Forest, or did it be because of me, you met a werewolf in St. Mungo's again, and I should be kicked out of Hogwarts and be a Muggle for the rest of my life!" ”
Hagrid shuddered from grief and remorse, and the nearly four-meter-tall giant was crying like a child who had been robbed of a lollipop, and large tears seeped into his beard.
"Hagrid, calm down." Kyle handed him a tablecloth and comforted, "Wipe your face, don't forget that you were also a victim in Oren's case, and I also compared, the content of that note was not written by you, was it?" ”
Kyle glanced at his couch with some distress.
It was already a heavy job for him to hold Hagrid, and Hagrid was shaking...... Kyle could clearly hear a tooth-aching creak coming from the couch, as if he could strike at any moment.
"But you almost died!" Hagrid sobbed and said, "I told Oron Lowe about it, and he had a chance to trick you." ”
"He's got a way." Kyle said, "Don't forget that he's my Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and he can always find a reason to take me to the Forbidden Forest." ”
"However, you will definitely be on guard against other excuses!" Hagrid's shoulders were still shaking, "And St. Mungo's must be the werewolf you only met when you came to see me. ”
"It was an accident." Kyle shook his head and said, "And it's a good thing I was bumped into, otherwise, how many innocent patients do you think would have died that day...... Or, turn into a werewolf.
We managed to defuse a major crisis, Hagrid.
Also, I should thank you, for I will probably soon be awarded the Order of the Order of Merlin because of the Werewolf Thing, and Dean Sathya has promised that she will be my nominee. ”
"Galloping Gorgon, ...... of the Merlins" Hagrid finally looked up and looked at Kyle in shock, "You're probably the youngest medalist." ”
"Who knows." Kyle shrugged, "Eat a piece of candy, it might put you in a better mood." ”
"Thank you, Kyle." Hagrid took the toffee from Kyle, wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and said, "This reminds me that I also brought you a gift." ”
Kyle looked a little nervous and frowned, "It's not going to be a new flavor of stoat sandwiches." ”
Hagrid finally forced out laughing, "If you like that, I can do it for you next time, but not today." ”
He took out a big box from his back and said, "I just found out that you also have a birthday tomorrow."
Happy birthday to you in advance, Kyle, it's my own cake. ”
Kyle opens the box, revealing a large chocolate cake sprinkled with frosting, with green syrup written on it, "Happy birthday to Harry?" ”
Hagrid made a mistake, but I guess that's what it meant.
But that's not the point.
Kyle squinted, his face full of confusion and confusion, "This is ...... For me? ”
When did he change his name, did Chris and Diana know about it?
"Of course, you don't like it...... Sorry, I took the wrong one. ”
Hagrid looked at the words on the cake, patted him on the head with enough force to knock down a cow, and pulled out a box from the other inner pocket of his coat.
"This is for you."
Same icing chocolate cake, same typo, but the syrup on it is yellow, and Kyle's name has been replaced.
"You and little Harry have a birthday, and I confused the two cakes."
"Thank you Hagrid, I love it."
Kyle cuts a small piece of cake on the spot and puts it in his mouth, then ...... There is no then.
A rich sweet smell rushed from the mouth to the Tianling Gai, and it felt like taking a sip of concentrated syrup.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have eaten any of Hagrid's food!
Kyle gritted his teeth and swallowed the small bite of cake with difficulty.
"How does it taste?"
"Great." Kyle gave a thumbs up and said, "I've never had such a sweet cake." ”
"If you like it." Hagrid said happily, "Don't you eat any more, there are still a lot of them." ”
"No, no, it's not the time yet." Kyle shook his head repeatedly, "I'm going to wait until tomorrow to share it with my friends."
It would be a shame for Fred and George to miss such a delicious cake, and Cedric is coming back soon, so I'm going to keep a piece for him too. ”
"Yes, good stuff is to eat with friends." Hagrid smiled, "If you like, you can come to me anytime after school starts." ”
"Ahem...... Definitely, definitely. Kyle only felt a tightness in his throat, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you prepared a cake, are you going to give it to Potter?" ”
"That's right, Dumbledore agreed to me taking him to Diagon Alley, but ......" Hagrid frowned, "I was supposed to go back tomorrow, but I don't know what's going on, the admission letter never got to him." So Dumbledore told me to go over and see it in advance, so that nothing could happen. ”
Kyle raised an eyebrow and said, "That's really wrong. ”
"yes, so I'll go to Surrey, London, in the afternoon, and deliver the letter to him myself." Hagrid continued, "You know, Harry can't miss the start of Hogwarts. ”
"Don't worry so much, it's also an owl's problem." Kyle looked out the window, thought for a moment, and said, "Some Muggles don't like birds, maybe they drove the owl away from the messenger."
In this case, you give me the letter, and I'll ask Raton to help deliver it, and you can just take him to Diagon Alley when the time comes. ”
"Won't it be too much trouble."
Hagrid hesitated, but he still wanted to hand over the letter to Harry.
"It's not troublesome." Kyle waved his hand and said, "It is a Hogwarts tradition for owls to send admission letters, it is very memorable, and each young wizard can only go through it once, and once you miss it, there will be no second time." ”
After listening to Kyle's words, Hagrid was suddenly stunned.
Oh, yes...... How did he forget this.
"Okay." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then took out a pale yellow envelope and handed it to Kyle. "Then I'm bothering you."
"It's a small thing." Kyle accepts the envelope.
Hagrid stayed a little longer and was ready to leave.
Before he could head out the door, Kyle suddenly asked, "By the way, Hagrid, what do you think of that piece of toffee just now?" ”
"Well, I haven't eaten it yet." Hagrid smiled and said, "I'm going to give Harry a taste, he must not have eaten the candy of the wizarding world yet." ”
“………”
Let's do it.
After Hagrid leaves, Kyle calls Raton and gives him his acceptance letter. By the way, I deducted the toffee that I had sneaked into next to the wax seal.
"Be careful, the family isn't very friendly, and there may be weapons."
