Chapter 351: Respect every wizard's aesthetic
After coming out of the Blotted bookstore, Kyle buys a few other things before going to the Fantastic Beasts store to find Harry and his party.
Hermione had always said she wanted to buy an owl, but ended up buying a fat ginger cat named Crookshan.
To tell the truth, this cat is really ugly, its face is flat and flat as if it has been stepped on while sleeping.
In addition, its hair is still very long, so when viewed from the side, it is almost impossible to see the outline of any facial features, and it is flat at all.
Maybe it's because of the different aesthetics between wizards, and it may seem like a hairy cardboard box to others, but Hermione loves it, and thinks it's prettier than any cat.
Okay, turnip greens have their own love......
In line with the principle of respecting each different aesthetic, Kyle did not raise any objections, but only nodded in agreement.
The same goes for Harry next to him.
As for Ron, he wasn't in the mood.
The clerk here didn't have a good solution for his mouse, and after finding out that Ron didn't plan to change to a new pet, he perfunctorily recommended a rat tonic.
"Do you think this thing works?"
On the way back, Ron held his rat in one hand and the bottle of potion in the other, and wondered, "I feel like it's far worse than the tonic Kyle gave me before." ”
"I took the feeling." Kyle said, "To put it bluntly, it's just a little red amaranth juice in sugar water, and I can make a big bucket in minutes." By the way, how much did you spend on it. ”
"It's expensive......," Ron said with a bitter face, "two whole sicos!" ”
"You've got a lot of money." Kyle shrugged, "This thing can be sold for two nats." ”
Ron's face was even more ugly.
It's a pity that when he was in the store, he fed Madara a mouthful of potion, and it was definitely impossible to return it.
He looked at the wilting spots and asked, "Can I buy tonic medicine from you in the future?" ”
"Of course, at any time, and no money is required."
Kyle noticed that the cat named Crookshank just glanced lazily at the mouse as Ron held Spotted in his hand, and then the persimmon face skimmed aside and continued to flick its tail in a completely uninterested manner.
When the group returned to the Leaky Cauldron, they found Mr. Weasley sitting at the bar reading the Daily Prophet.
"Harry, Kyle!" He looked up and said with a smile: "You are all here, how are you doing these days?" ”
"Good, thank you." Harry said.
"It's great." Kyle sat down next to him.
"I heard Charlie, you helped a lot." Mr. Weasley looked Kyle up and down, "Good thing you're not hurt, Molly keeps complaining that they shouldn't have involved one of your children in such a dangerous thing." ”
"It's not as dangerous as it seems."
Kyle laughed, "And with Mr. Scamander and my dad around, I just have to stand behind the dragon when they get close." ”
"That's right."
"Wait, danger? Dragon? Ron frowned, "What the hell are you talking about, Kyle met the fire dragon in Romania?" ”
Hermione and Harry were also curious.
"More than one......," Mr. Weasley said roughly what he knew.
Anyway, the matter over there is over, and there is no need to continue to keep it secret.
A scuffle of dozens of fire dragons...... Fantastic Beasts masters from all over the world...... And the last poacher......
These experiences made them stunned.
Hermione thought that her trip to France was exciting enough, but compared to Kyle, it immediately became a lot more dull, even boring.
"A dozen Fantastic Beasts masters......" she lamented, "it would be nice if I went to Romania too." ”
"Nope." Mr. Weasley put down the Daily Prophet in his hand and shook his head, "At that time, the reserve was closed to tourists, and even if you went, it was useless, at most you just walked around the nearby gathering place. ”
"Speaking of gathering places...... I brought you gifts. Kyle opened his pouch and pulled out what he had prepared.
For Mr. Weasley was a dragonwood cane.
Last year at the Blotted bookstore, Mr. Weasley almost suffered from the lack of melee weapons, so Kyle chose this one out of purpose.
This kind of wood is strong and heavy, and it can be used directly to smash the opponent's head during a fight, and the damage is not much worse than the stun charm.
"That's awesome."
Mr. Weasley held his cane and waved it twice from time to time, clearly fond.
For Harry, Ron, and Hermione, it's all Fire Dragon Badges.
The material is dragon scales, which are carved in the shape of a fire dragon and move, making it one of the most representative souvenirs.
After thanking them, they immediately put them on their robes.
At that moment, Harry suddenly noticed a picture of Sirius Black in the newspaper glaring at him.
"Hasn't he been caught yet?"
"Nope." Mr. Weasley lowered his cane, his face becoming serious, "The ministry has removed us from our normal positions and tried their best to arrest him, but so far nothing has happened. ”
"If we catch him, is there a bonus?" Ron asked.
"Stop talking nonsense, Ron." Mr. Weasley looked nervous, "There's no way Blake was caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard, don't do anything stupid." ”
Just then, Mrs. Weasley, carrying a large bag, walked into the bar, followed by Fred and George, as well as Percy, who had just become the president of the boys' student council, and Ginny, the youngest child of the Weasley family.
"Hi Kyle!"
"Long time no see!"
Fred and George went straight to Kyle as soon as they came in, holding his hand and shaking it non-stop, "It's wonderful to see you, old man. ”
"It's wonderful."
Percy frowned.
"Enough for you two." Mrs. Weasley said, "Don't learn from Percy anymore. ”
She stepped forward and happily hugged Kyle.
"It's really nice to see you, my dear."
"Me too, Mrs. Weasley." Kyle said.
"So, what about our gifts!" At this time, both hands reached out at the same time.
"What gift?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.
"Don't pretend." Fred had a confident expression, "I found it from the moment I entered the door, Daddy's cane." ”
"And Ron's badge." George said, "They didn't have any of that on them just now. ”
Kyle smiled and pulled out the gifts for them, as well as for Mrs. Weasley, Percy, and Ginny.
It's just that when it was given to Percy, he was a little too solemn, and shook Kyle's hand pretendedly, "Thank you so much, I'm very honored." ”
The tone, the demeanor, was almost identical to the Romanian Ministry of Magic official who gave them the key.
Fred and George were on the side, following his example, making all sorts of funny faces.
Mrs. Weasley scolded them disapphedly.
……
That night, instead of returning to the Burrow, the Weasleys decided to spend the night at the Leaky Cauldron.
Mr. Weasley wanted Kyle to live here as well, but Kyle thought about it and refused.
"I saw Chris before I came." Mr. Weasley said, "He also agreed to let you stay here for one night." ”
"But I haven't packed my things yet." Kyle said, "I didn't bring a lot of things that I needed, including books and homework. ”
Kyle, of course, is not without homework, and his luggage has been in a suitcase since two years ago.
He just didn't want to be watched.
Kyle had noticed from just now that there was a guy in the corner who was always looking at them from time to time.
There was a guy at the bar who had been reading a newspaper for half an hour and hadn't turned the page.
And the old witch who drank mead, just a few minutes ago, in the same position, the same mead, but sitting was a middle-aged witch.
If he guessed correctly, these were all Aurors who had come to protect Harry.
Including Mr. Weasley, but he has a different mission...... In a more reasonable way, send Harry to King's Cross station tomorrow.
Kyle didn't want to be stared at by so many Aurors, it was awkward to think about.
Mrs. Weasley doesn't insist because of the mention of books and homework, but she doesn't agree with Kyle going back on her own, insisting on waiting for Chris to come over.
Wait all day.
It wasn't until they had dinner that Chris returned from the Ministry of Magic.
"It's a pity, Arthur, I wanted to have a drink with you." Chris pulled Kyle and said, "There are too many reports to write, and the ministry is in a hurry to ......"
"I understand." Mr. Weasley winked vaguely, "And I can't drink right now." ”
"Yes, that's ...... true"
Chris sighed, "I'll see you tomorrow." ”
With that, he leaves the Leaky Cauldron with Kyle.
