Chapter 337: Golden Galleon Award
"Oh...... Is Mr. Scamander ready to take you to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary? ”
Chris looked at the letter that the owl had just delivered, and the anticipatory Kyle in front of him, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Do you agree with me going?" Kyle asked.
"There's no reason for us to stop if you want." Chris smiled, "Actually, I received an invitation as well. ”
He retrieved a letter from the cabinet in the living room.
"I knew ......," Kyle said subconsciously.
On the way back, he wondered if Chris would have received an invitation as well.
As a student of Scamander and the deputy director of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control at the Ministry of Magic, Chris is still a little well-known in Magical Beasts circles.
Especially after the incident two years ago, he and Newt worked together to send those smuggled magical beasts back to their original places, which made him even more famous.
It's no surprise that this time I'll be invited.
"So, am I with you?"
"No, it's still with Mr. Scamander, I might be a little later."
Chris shook his head, "Fudge seems to take this matter very seriously, and he wants me to go to Romania on behalf of the Ministry of Magic."
So I had to leave the ministry and complete a series of tedious handovers with the Romanian Ministry of Magic before I could go to the reserve. ”
"You can tell it's really Fudge's style."
Diana walked over to Chris and sat down, "He probably thinks this will increase his prestige." ”
"Perhaps." Chris took the hot chocolate she handed and said nonchalantly, "Although he may not be happy to say that, the name of Mr. Barty Crouch in a foreign Ministry of Magic is usually more useful." ”
Diana pours Kyle another cup of hot chocolate.
"I'm not against going to Romania for a long time." "But some necessary preparations are still indispensable...... You can use your ring a few more times. ”
"Twice." Kyle raised his hand.
During last year's vacation, he used a transfiguration to avoid the overzealous Noble.
"Give it to me." Diana said, "It's better to be on the safe side, just in case." ”
"Okay." Kyle nodded, then handed the ring to Diana.
"Can I apparition in the reserve?"
"Yes." Chris explains, "The dragon sanctuary in Romania is so large that it's almost impossible to ban apparition altogether. ”
And there is no need for this, dragon breeders have special methods that can monitor the magic reaction within range, they only need to focus on those dragon eggs and young dragons......
As for the adult fire dragons, few people generally dared to attack them, let alone steal them silently. ”
Kyle thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
For such a long time, the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary has never lost a fire dragon, even the Australian Albumen Eye two years ago was obtained by Oron's gang from other places.
And he also heard that the selection of those dragon breeders is very strict, except that they don't need a certificate, and other aspects are almost the same as choosing an Auror.
I don't know if it's true.
After drinking the hot chocolate in the cup, Kyle went back to his room upstairs.
He didn't know how long he would be in Romania this time, and he had to finish those assignments and his dissertation for Transfiguration Today within a month.
The homework was okay, Kyle only took a few days to write it, which was very easy, but the professional paper was different.
Professor McGonagall gave him two months not without reason.
This kind of academic paper requires careful logic, and every time he puts forward a point of view, he needs to use a large number of theoretical foundations to verify its feasibility from many aspects.
After that, he had to conduct several experiments, document the complete process in detail, study and analyze the final results.
……
Although the Most Promising Newcomer Award was given to Hogwarts students, which was much more lenient, Kyle still bought a dozen books on Transfiguration and spent nearly two weeks finally writing his thesis.
By the time Kyle stepped outside again, July was almost over.
At the same time, something big happened in the Weasley house next door.
"Kyle, come and see this!"
"Haha! I dare you believe it! ”
Fred and George rushed over and threw a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of Kyle.
"Congratulations to Arthur Weasley, who won the annual Golden Galleon ......Award for the Daily Prophet"
There's also a photo below of Mr. Weasley standing with Barnabas Gufe, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, both smiling happily.
"How many Galleons...... Kyle asked.
"Seven hundred." Fred danced excitedly, "In previous years, it was five hundred, but they felt that there were too few people, so they increased the prize money. ”
"We've been involved before." "But I've only won a quiz prize." ”
"A total of twelve Sico......"
"The last time I quized on the new Minister of Magic, I returned them all back......"
It can be seen that Fred and George are really happy, and it is the first time that they have been happy like this after Dobby, the house-elf elf, is taken away by Kyle.
Or rather, everyone in the Weasleys is happy.
When Kyle followed them to the Burrow, he even saw Percy, who would have been in his room at normal times, and wouldn't be there talking to Ginny.
"Oh, I almost forgot about business......" Fred patted his head back at the Burrow.
"Kyle, Mommy is going to use this money to visit Bill, so you can go with us."
"yes, dear." Mrs. Weasley also walked over, "Seven hundred Galleons, this trip is going to be great." ”
"I'm a little impatient...... "Ginny scowled her face, "you say, will Bill take us to the pyramids?" ”
"Of course it will ......"
Everyone was chattering and discussing.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle sighed, "I'm going to the Dragon Sanctuary in Romania with Mr. Scamander in August, and I probably won't be able to travel with you." ”
"Romania?" Ginny was surprised and asked, "Are you going to visit Charlie?" ”
Their older brother, Charlie Weasley, went to Romania to study dragons after graduating.
"But let's just say so." Kyle laughed, "I'm going to let him be my guide." ”
"Mom, why don't we go to Romania too." George suddenly said, "I've never seen a fire dragon before." ”
His statement was also agreed by everyone.
They can go anywhere, because whether it is a fire dragon or a pyramid, they are curious.
"If you want to see the dragon, we can go back next year, but let's go see Bill this year as planned."
At this time, Mr. Weasley came down from the upper floor, "There is a big event going to happen in Romania recently, the dragon sanctuary is no longer open to the public, and even if we go, we won't see Charlie." ”
"But why can Kyle ......"
"Oh?" Mr. Weasley was not surprised, and naturally asked, "Are you going with your father, or Mr. Scamander." ”
"Mr. Scamander." Kyle said with a smile.
"I think so...... Those people will definitely invite him. ”
Fred was even more curious, and he looked at Kyle and Mr. Weasley with dissatisfaction.
"Please, can someone explain this to us? Why can't we meet Charlie when Kyle can meet him......"
"Also, what's the big deal in Romania that we really can't change our itinerary?"
