As we enter March, the weather gradually warms up, and the ice above the Black Lake, which has lasted all winter, thawed last week.

In recent times, the giant squid has often poked its head and tentacles out of the bottom of the lake to enjoy a warm sunbathing on the surface.

And this also attracted many students to watch.

While many people who have read Hogwarts, A History of the School know that the Black Lagoon is home to giant squid, it is rarely seen in other houses except for Slytherin, where the common room is at the bottom of the lake, to see it in person.

For a while, everyone was very curious, especially the freshmen who had just entered the school, and they ran there as soon as they got out of class.

The Black Lagoon has inexplicably become the new Hogwarts check-in mecca.

But Kyle didn't join in the fun, he had already seen it once at the end of last year, and it was no different from a normal squid, just a little bigger.

And it's easy to get hungry after watching it for a long time, and you can't bring an iron plate, so it's not interesting to go again.

He might as well read two more books if he had the time.

After a few months of studying, he had almost learned the Traceless Stretching Spell by now.

Although I am not very proficient, and the room for change every time is not as big as I imagined, I have finally taken the most difficult first step, and I just need to practice more.

Kyle plans to completely remodel his chest by the fifth grade...... Not to mention the same as Newt's, but at least it has to be able to fit half of the Forbidden Forest.

In the past two years, he has gotten a lot of things, just the plants in the flower garden can fill the current chest, plus he has to divide the territory of the troll and the moon beast...... And new members who don't know when they will join in the future, if they are too small, they will not be enough.

Just do it......

After that, Kyle runs into the box almost whenever he has time.

Thanks to his overtime efforts, he finally completed the first expansion of the box on the third day of the Easter holiday.

The space inside is nearly twice as large as it was at the beginning.

Kyle looked at his results and nodded in satisfaction, he now felt like he was going from one room to another.

And the previous problems were solved at once.

For example, the range of movement of trolls is much larger.

There's also a new home for the Moon Idiot Beast, and it's time to start preparing...... It takes a lot of space to build a cave that they can live in, and they couldn't find a place before, but now they can.

The only problem is that after the expansion, the surroundings have become much more empty and seem a bit monotonous...... However, this is also easy to solve.

The next day, Kyle heads to the Forbidden Forest early in the morning.

He was going to take advantage of the holiday to find an opportunity to move two Yamanashi trees into the box.

Of course, it definitely won't work during the day, and it's easy to be caught by Hagrid, so he's going to step on it this time...... Set your goals first and wait until the evening.

A few minutes later, Kyle arrives in front of Hagrid's cabin, but strangely enough, the door is closed, and all the curtains are drawn tightly, even the top window is plastered with a daily prophet.

Kyle stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who!"

Hagrid's voice sounded nervous from inside.

Then the door was opened with a small crack.

"Whew...... It's Kyle, how did you get sometime to get over? ”

"There's something I want you to help with." Kyle said, "Can I go in?" ”

"Of course......" Hagrid leaned over to let Kyle in, then quickly turned around and closed the door.

It was like a sauna in the cottage, and the heat was suffocating, even though it was such a warm sunny day, and there was a roaring fire in the fireplace.

And in addition to Haiwai, there were three people in the room.

Harry, Ron, Hermione.

"Hello." Kyle said hello.

"Hello ......"

"Long time no see...... Kyle. ”

"Good morning."

The three of them stood in front of the fireplace and replied with some nervousness.

They were like a wall between Kyle and the fireplace, and their eyes were still wandering from side to side as they spoke, and anyone could tell there was something wrong with the fireplace.

Fortunately, at this time, Hagrid came.

He brought Kyle a cup of tea with a copper kettle and a stoat sandwich.

"You just said that you asked me for help?"

"Yes." Kyle looked away from the fireplace and said, "I'd like to go to the Forbidden Forest and find some Yamanashi branches, okay?" ”

"Or is it to make that amulet?" Hagrid asked.

Last year, Kyle's "Must Pass the Exam" became popular throughout Hogwarts, and he had heard of it.

Kyle nodded.

"There are two months left until the final exams, so we have to prepare in advance."

"It's easy." Hagrid smiled and said, "I'll send you tomorrow if you need as much as you need." ”

"Don't bother, I'll pick it myself."

"But......" Hagrid frowned, clearly not wanting Kyle to go to the Forbidden Forest.

"Don't worry, Hagrid, the Yamanashi tree is on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and it will definitely not be dangerous."

Kyle continued, "And I need to try to pick the right shapes of the branches, otherwise it will be a hassle to deal with later." ”

"This ...... All right! ”

Hagrid thought for a moment and added, "But you can only find it at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. ”

"No problem." Kyle originally thought the same thing, so naturally he wouldn't object.

Then Hagrid stood up and prepared to walk out.

"Hagrid, are you going with you?" Kyle asked.

"Of course, I can't let you go to the Forbidden Forest alone." Hagrid said, "Even if it's just the very edge. ”

"What about the dragon eggs." Kyle asked, "Are you comfortable leaving it in the care of Potter?" ”

"It's okay, dragon eggs aren't that fragile, just be careful not to let the fireplace ......"

"Wait......"

Before Hagrid could finish speaking, Hermione's surprised voice came from the side.

"Kyle, how do you know there's a dragon egg here, and you can't see it there."

Hearing her words, Hagrid was also stunned...... yes, how did Kyle know he had dragon eggs?

"You don't think you're okay if you block the fireplace?"

Kyle smiled and said, "I suggest you take a look at the latest edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it is clearly written in the chapter on fire dragons that dragon eggs emit a special sulfur smell in the flames, but it is not very obvious, and it is easy to ignore when mixed in the flames. ”

"If you don't believe me, you can also look back at the tooth, I guess it's going to pass out soon."

Kyle pointed to the side, and Hagrid's black hound was lying in the corner with its head hunched at this time, looking weak, and it looked like a dog that pounced on someone before.

"Oh, Yaya, what's wrong with you!"

Hagrid screamed, ran over, grabbed his teeth, and rushed out of the house.
