Frost resistant, rolling in the snow?

Listening to Kyle's description, Harry always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

Just as he was about to ask, there was another knock on the door.

It wasn't Dumbledore this time.

"Hagrid, how are you, there's a lot of talk about you in the castle right now...... Oh, I noticed you boiled water, can you bring me a hot cup of tea? ”

Seeing someone coming, Harry shouted happily, "Professor Black, why are you here?" ”

"I've said it many times, you don't have to call me that outside of the castle, Harry."

Sirius walked into the room, "Of course, because I read the newspaper, I wanted to ask Professor Dumbledore first, but he didn't know where he went, I didn't find it." ”

Hagrid's room was already small, but now that five people were crammed in, it was even smaller.

Harry and Ron squeezed to the left, making room for Sirius.

Ten minutes later, however...... Connor also appears at the door of the hut, along with Cedric and Cho, as well as the Weasley brothers.

This time, the hut was completely overwhelmed, and they had to stand outside.

Connor saw Kyle in the room for the first time, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No wonder we can't find you, it turns out that you have already arrived early." ”

"No, I've just arrived." Kyle explained, "I went to Diagon Alley with Professor Blake, and you weren't up yet. ”

"Diagon Alley?"

"Well, go to Gringotts to get something, it's an appointment for the holidays, and I just have time today."

Connor nodded, and didn't ask any more, after all, the main purpose of her visit was to see Hagrid.

Hagrid choked up again at the sight of the large crowd gathered at the door of his hut, but not because he was sad.

Hagrid had thought that everyone would avoid him after knowing his identity, but he didn't expect so many people to come to visit him.

"Thank you, thank you for daring to come to my ......" Two round tears flowed from Hagrid's eyes and slowly seeped into his beard.

"Hagrid, what are you talking about?" Fred grinned and said, "Our Conservation Magical Creature Professor is a half-blood giant, what could be cooler than that?" ”

"A pure-blood giant?" George raised an eyebrow.

"There's no way to disagree."

The two clapped their hands in tacit understanding.

"Look, Hagrid, no one here cares who you are." Kyle said.

"But Dumbledore ......"

"I'm sure the principal won't fire you either." Kyle patted his arm.

A few of them didn't stay here for long.

The main reason was that it was too cold outside, and so many people could not all enter the house, so it didn't take long for Hagrid to say that he wanted to be alone and drive them all back to the castle.

Harry didn't want to leave, but Hagrid was resolute and pushed them out of the house without saying a word.

However, as he was leaving, Kyle suddenly saw a beetle crawl out of the open door.

"yes, let's go back."

After exiting the hut, Kyle walked up to Connor and said, intentionally or not, "It's a good thing the newspaper only talked about the half-blood giant, and didn't find out about it, otherwise things would have only gotten more troublesome." ”

"Which thing?" Connor asked, confused.

"Have you forgotten?" Kyle looked left and right, "It's not safe here, let's go back to the castle." ”

Connor felt a little confused, but followed Kyle towards the castle.

It wasn't until the two of them came to the foyer that she said tentatively: "It shouldn't be Lu Wei you're talking about, but how long has it been, it shouldn't be possible to be discovered." ”

"yes, you're right, no one will be able to find out about Lowe."

Kyle said, pulling out a round-mouthed bottle turned into a multi-flavored bean and slamming it on his shoulder.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a clanging sound in the bottle.

"It's ...... Beetle? ”

"It's a beetle, but it's not a beetle."

Kyle gagged the bottle and shook it in his hand, and there was another crashing sound from the bottle.

"Am I right? Ms. Rita Skeeter. ”

"Rita......" Connor was startled, "you mean, this beetle is the Rita Skeeter?" ”

"It's just a suspicion now, but it's just a test, a simple little test...... Follow me. ”

Kyle walks into an empty classroom with no one occupied, sets the bottle aside, and opens his shape-shifting lizard skin pouch and pulls out a portable camera and a little guy who looks like a plant shoot.

Connor stood nearby, watching curiously as Kyle opened the bottle and took out the beetle inside and handed it to the Tree Guard.

Although it prefers turtles, it will not refuse an extra small snack, and it will open its mouth to send beetles to its mouth.

However, in the next second, the beetle suddenly began to writhe, and its entire body became larger and larger.

This scene is all too familiar to Connor, the process of transforming from Animagus back to a wizard.

Soon, there was a woman with curly hair and hornglasses in the empty classroom.

Frightened, it looked at its own hand, then at the sudden extra person, and screamed and drilled into Kyle's pocket.

Meanwhile......

"Click!"

Kyle also presses the camera's shutter.

"It's wonderful, the famous Lady Rita Skeeter is actually an illegal Animagus." Kyle looked up and said with a smile, "It seems that the front page of the Daily Prophet will be determined in advance tomorrow." ”

"Damn, give it to me!" Rita Skeeter goes crazy and pounces on Kyle to grab the camera.

But in the next second, she flew back upside down at a faster speed, knocking over several tables.

"It's not right to grab something, Ms. Skeeter." Kyle shook his wand in his hand.

Before Rita Skeeter could stand up, the tables and chairs around her had turned into ropes, binding her so tightly that she looked like a chrysalis from her feet to her neck.

And her wand, which was also kicked to the side by a table leg.

"Another illegal Animagus." Connor said with a look of disgust, "No wonder you know so many wizards' secrets, after all, no one would guard against a beetle." ”

"It's okay, she always has to pay for the mistakes she makes." Kyle laughed and said, "Illegal Animagus, that alone is enough to send her to the Dementors." ”

"Give it to me!" Rita Skeeter yelled again.

She never thought that the method that had always been tried and tested would actually be planted in the hands of a student.

As you can imagine, when the photograph of her Animagus was released, she was completely finished.

Those people...... If the officials of the Ministry of Magic had known that her Animagus was a beetle, and had used it to find out the news, she would have been completely finished, and she might even be killed silently.

So no matter what, she had to snatch the camera, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't beat Kyle, and it would definitely not work by force.

"I know a lot of secrets, Fudge and Dolores Umbridge's, and Ludo Bagman's." Rita Skeeter said in a hoarse voice, "I can trade these for as long as you give me the camera." ”

"Why should I know this, feel too idle, and give myself some trouble?" Kyle spread his hands and said, "So I'll ...... anyway."

"Then you say!" Rita Skeeter began to get anxious, "What the hell can I do so that you can give it to me, I can write reports, write many reports complimenting you!" ”

"I think you must have misunderstood, I didn't mean that, and I don't need you to say nice things for me in the newspaper." Kyle frowned slightly, "And we Hogwarts students never threaten others to do things for themselves, which is against the school rules." ”

Connor pursed her lips and twisted her head to the side.

One thing to say, there is really no such thing in the school rules, this is already the category of wizarding law.

"But ......"

Kyle continued, "I'm in a good mood right now, so I've decided to wait until the next issue of The Prophet comes out before considering whether or not to send the photos out.

"If I'm in a good mood by then, I probably won't send it...... It's all possible. ”

"Then I'm ......"

Rita Skeeter wants to say anything more, but is interrupted by Kyle.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's just a matter of how I'm feeling, so good luck with you......"

With a wave of his wand, Kyle untied Rita Skeeter's rope and pulled Connor out of the empty classroom.
