Chapter 487: The Game of Portraits
By the time Kyle returned to Hogwarts, it was already evening.
Sirius's loser bought a bunch of things from Diagon Alley for him to bring back, one for him and one for Harry.
Probably finally able to appear in the sun, Kyle always felt that he was a bit of a revenge consumer.
Who's a good guy can buy more than 2,000 Galleons in Diagon Alley.
And that solid gold cauldron...... Is that really a potion for it? I have to feel distressed for a long time if I break a little skin.
But there is no way, Sirius just wants to buy it, don't do it...... It's a scumbag.
Just like when they left, they also apparition back, in the principal's office.
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Kyle returned, he heard a burst of excited laughter, but the laughter was so ugly that it was like a goose pinched by someone's neck.
"Ahaha...... Dumbledore, I've heard that old woman say it. ”
On the wall, a portrait of Phineas Black triumphantly says, "My great-grandson was acquitted, right...... Ha ha...... I knew that there was absolutely no way there would be a traitor to the Black family.
It's getting worse and worse for those idiots at the Ministry of Magic to not even see this obvious means of framing...... But this minister is not bad, at least he can distinguish between right and wrong. ”
There was no one in the portrait around him, everyone was far away, looking at him with a look like they were retarded.
"Shut up, Phineas." A bearded wizard couldn't help but say, "It's okay for you to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself, how you scolded that Sirius Black in the first place, you won't forget it, do you want us to help you recall." ”
"Yes......" A witch sneered: "You scolded so vigorously at the time, and now you still talk about others, you are really shameless." ”
"No way, you must have heard it wrong." Phineas stiffened his neck and said, "I've said it many times, how could I doubt the people of the Black family!" ”
"Ho-ho......" everyone let out a sneer in unison.
At this moment, a tall, thin black-haired witch crept up behind Phineas, carrying a round shield that she had snatched from nowhere.
While Phineas was speaking, she raised her hand directly and smashed a shield on his head.
"Who did you just call the old woman?"
Phineas was stunned, sat on the ground, and didn't recover for a long time.
Seeing this, the others also rushed up one after another, punching and kicking him.
There's no particular reason for it, it's just pure muscle memory, and beating Phineas when you're idle, it's almost becoming the most popular game for portraits.
Suddenly there was a sound of fists hitting the flesh in the headmaster's room, and the screams of someone crying wolf.
"Professor, your life must be exciting." Kyle couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah, yes? Wonderful indeed. Dumbledore took a piece of flannel from the table and walked over to the liveliest portrait. But sometimes they're just too noisy.
By the way, aren't you still going to Harry? Go ahead, I remember the common room password was gibberish. ”
"Okay." Kyle nodded and opened the door next to him, "So, goodbye Professor, and ...... Fox"
The Headmaster's Office is not far from Gryffindor's common room, just keep going down the hallway and turn a corner at the end.
"Password!" The fat lady asked dutifully.
"Nonsense." Kyle said.
But the fat lady did not open the door, but looked at him suspiciously.
"You're not a Gryffindor student, I've never met you."
It seems that after the expulsion of Sir Cadogan last school year, she has become a lot more vigilant.
"I guess you must have picked up a note with a password written on it somewhere, and you thought it was interesting."
"Yes, I'm a Hufflepuff." Kyle said, "But the password was told to me by the Headmaster, and I just came out of the Headmaster's office and have something to look for Harry Potter." ”
"Headmaster?" The fat lady was still a little skeptical, but her tone finally loosened a little.
"Don't do anything that violates the school rules." "Otherwise, you'll never want to go through this door again," she reminded. ”
"Don't worry." Kyle laughs and says, "I've never had a record of breaking school rules.
"By the way, the other headmasters are playing games with Principal Black right now, so it should be too late for you to go over now."
The fat lady's eyes lit up.
"Kid, I take back what I just said, you must be a good little wizard."
With that, she disappears from the portrait and opens the door for Kyle.
Kyle walked down the back passageway.
It's the weekend and there are quite a few people in the common room.
Kyle takes a look, and soon finds the familiar trio at a table in the corner.
Hermione was doing her homework, while Ron and Harry were playing wizarding chess and discussing how to make themselves a year older.
"I think age-enhancing agents are a good choice." Ron took a bite of Harry's pawn and said, "Fred told me he would make this potion, and a bottle would be just enough to increase the age by a year."
It's just that the price is a bit expensive, it costs ten Galleons. ”
"Ten Galleons?" Harry said, "That's not cheap. ”
"But I'm their brother after all." Ron said proudly, "If I want to buy it, it will only cost five Galleons, they say that this is the cost price of the material, and I don't have to make a single nat."
But that's the right thing to say...... Checkmate! ”
Ron commanded the knight to King Harry's flank before continuing:
"If only there was any way to make some money, I don't even have five Galleons right now."
"I can buy two copies." Harry moved his king a square, "Will...... But don't want presents for Christmas. ”
"Reasonable." Ron laughed and said, "Or if I wait until I win the championship, I'll have the money back for you, and that's a thousand Galleons." ”
"yes." Harry said, "I wish we could both be warriors." ”
"It's impossible...... Hermione looked up, "the book says that there can only be one warrior per house, and that's always been the case...... Oh Kyle, how did you end up here. ”
"That's enough, Hermione." Ron put down the chess pieces in his hand, "I know Kyle is very good, and his grades have always been the first in his grade, but that doesn't mean that he will definitely become a warrior, I still have a chance." ”
"You're mistaken." Harry quickly patted him, and at the same time put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up and said to the oncoming Kyle:
"Welcome to Gryffindor's common room, are you here to find Fred and George?
"But they've been in the foyer on the first floor since lunch, and haven't come back, you can look for them there."
