Kyle walked through the foyer with Professor Sprout, up the marble staircase, and down a hallway.

Professor Sprout's office wasn't huge, but it was filled with the smell of earth, a warm fire in the fireplace, lush vines crawling on the walls, and magical plants everywhere that looked exactly like the greenhouse outside the castle.

Near the window, there is a small desk.

Professor Sprout walked over to the desk and gestured to a brown box placed on it.

"Two days before school started, I received this package from the Law Enforcement Division of the Ministry of Magic, along with a letter saying that it was to compensate for the loss of the Forbidden Forest."

At this point, Professor Sprout's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"But as I recall, Minerva doesn't seem to be asking the Ministry of Magic for any damages, so these things should be for you."

"Ahem, yes Professor."

Kyle said with some embarrassment, "I did write to the Ministry of Magic, but that was what the strikers requested.

They seemed to have barely survived Oren by knowing that I had used some valuable magical items in the Forbidden Forest, so they generously decided to compensate me with something. ”

"Yes." Professor Sprout smiled and said:

"But the letter also says that they will soon send someone to build a new greenhouse for Hogwarts, is that what you asked for?"

"Uh...... This one isn't. ”

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I just mentioned in the letter that too much black magic has been cast in the Forbidden Forest, and many precious magical plants and centuries-old trees have been destroyed.

They probably want to compensate the school in this way. ”

Professor Sprout's expression was even more strange, her face flushed a little, and she subconsciously glanced out the window.

She knew all too well what plants were in the Forbidden Forest.

Most of the rare and precious plants had long since been moved to the greenhouse, and the rest were at most some white fresh, or common varieties such as bubble pods.

As for those so-called centennial trees...... Truth be told, after the striker left, it took her and Felius only five minutes to restore the destroyed Forbidden Forest to its original state.

After all, the Corrosion Spell is not some kind of advanced black magic, and a ten thousand spells can be easily solved in the end.

Professor Sprout cleared his throat and said righteously, "Yes, those plants are a pity, and it's rare for the Ministry of Magic to think of this, and know that a new greenhouse will be built to protect them." ”

She looked pleased, and said in a brisk tone, "Well, you can count their compensation here and see if there's anything missing."

But remember to hurry, I think the sorting ceremony should be about to begin. ”

With that, Professor Sprout left the office and closed the door by the way.

After she leaves, Kyle comes to the table and opens the box.

There weren't many things in it, half of them were neatly arranged galleons, about fifty of them, and the word "broom" was written next to them.

While in the Forbidden Forest, Kyle did throw a broomstick, and later in the battle, it was smashed in half by a fallen tree and completely scrapped.

It is estimated that the people from the Ministry of Magic couldn't find such an old model, so they simply discounted it.

Kyle sets Garon aside.

The broom is the property of the school, and these Garons naturally have nothing to do with him, and the rest is the point.

After the Galleons were removed, there were only five tightly sealed glass bottles left in the box.

It's full of seeds

- Seeds of the Wonder Plant.

Their names are also written on the bottle.

"Brussels sprouts"

"Mandrake"

"Lone Grass"

"Poison Tentacles"

"Poison Fang Geranium"

Kyle picks up the bottles and carefully packs them into his shapeshifting lizard skin bag.

He was a little glad in his heart.

To make things more reasonable, he reported them with the "loss of plants" reason, which is why the Ministry of Magic would send things to Hogwarts.

After all, almost all of them are classified as "extremely dangerous" plant species, especially the biting kale and poisonous tentacles, which are prohibited from being traded, and the Ministry of Magic prohibits private cultivation and sale.

Before that, Kyle actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, to put it bluntly, he was betting on whether the professor who received the package would open it and take a look.

If opened, the seeds will only be able to appear in the newly built greenhouse.

Luckily, Kyle was lucky.

Professor Sprout didn't care much about anything other than the plants in the greenhouse.

After putting the bottles away, Kyle breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He was now truly grateful to the Ministry of Magic for keeping it so tightly packaged.

It's exciting to think about getting these seeds from under the nose of a master planter.

After leaving Professor Sprout's office, Kyle descended the stairs and returned to the auditorium.

The new students had arrived, and the auditorium had become a sea of pointed black hats, and every long house table was filled with students.

In front of the guest of honour sat the worn, old Sorting Hat, which had something else on it compared to last year.

There is a red and blue piece wrapped around the tip of the hat, I don't know if it is a tea towel or a turban, and there is a small pair of sunglasses on the brim.

When Kyle arrives at the auditorium, he just in time for it to sing.

The Sorting Hat looked excited, writhing on the triangular bench, and it was in a tone that was completely different from the traditional music of the wizarding world.

“……

Hogwarts is really a school, and the magic taught here is all amazing.

Gryffindor has a brave heart, a bold spirit, and is not afraid of hardships and dangers.

Hufflepuff is a man of integrity, not afraid of hard work, and a student of tenacity and honesty.

Ravenclaws are clever and clever people who search for secrets and the meaning of magic in books.

Maybe they will enter Slytherin, they are calm and careful, and they will not be polite to anyone in order to achieve their goal of glory.

Come, take me, don't be afraid.

Last but not least, my name is the Sorting Hat.

Where do you get it...... Don't make a fuss. ”

After the Sorting Hat was finished, the whole auditorium instantly boiled, and the young wizards applauded thunderously, as if they were about to tear down the ceiling.

Kyle turned to the other side and walked towards the Hufflepuff table.

Cedric reserved a seat for him, right between him and Mikel.

"Kyle, if only you had come early." Cedric said with some regret, "The Sorting Hat's tune is completely different from what it was in previous years. ”

"Well, I just heard that." Kyle said with a smile.

Looks like the Sorting Hat should have received the Christmas present he gave him last year.

It's just that he didn't expect Hogwarts to be able to play those tapes.
