Chapter 604: Find a Helper
After receiving Sirius's assurance, the three Harry were overjoyed and looked forward to starting school sooner.
Kyle, on the other hand, did not return to the village of San Cachpol. Whether it's homework or whatever, it's almost in his box, and he always carries it with him.
Even if he didn't pick up a few books, he would be able to get the owl to send them back later, so he didn't need to go home at all.
The reason why I left 12 Grimmauld Place early was for another reason.
By the time the apparition was over, Kyle had already appeared in a lush forest.
In the pine tree on the left, a colorful wicked bird is tilting its head to look at him.
"Long time no see, Buddy." Kyle said hello familiarly, and the Wicked Lady Bird chirped in response.
At this moment, a house-elf dressed in nondescript clothes suddenly appeared not far ahead.
He wore a piece of rattan that looked like armor, and underneath it were a pair of long rubber boots.
After seeing Kyle's appearance, the original wariness on his face quickly turned to surprise.
"Oh, Mr. Kyle, is it really you?"
"It's me, Dobby." Kyle said, "How's you doing?" ”
"Thanks to Mr. Kyle." The house-elf excitedly said, "Dobby loves it here, it's great to work here!" ”
"That's good." Kyle smiled, "Is Newt at home?" ”
"Yes." Dobby nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Scamander is taking care of the newborn Invisible Beast...... Oh, Dobby gotta hurry back and help. ”
With that, he turned and hurried into the depths of the forest.
Kyle followed, and after a turn in front of him, a wooden house appeared in front of him out of thin air.
The door to the hut was open, and a gray-haired witch was standing.
"I just heard Dobby calling your name." Tina smiled and said, "Come on in, I just baked some cookies." ”
Dobby couldn't help but pout.
Even now, Dobby can't accept Tina's request to keep him from the kitchen.
It's too torturous for a house-elf...... The good thing is that he has more to do.
As soon as he walked into the room, Dobby couldn't wait to run into the innermost room.
It didn't take long for Newt to emerge from inside.
"Hogwarts will start tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Tina just brought a plate of grapefruit cookies and placed them in front of Kyle, "I thought you weren't going to be here this year." ”
"A lot has happened this holiday season." Kyle said.
He didn't hide it, and told everything about his encounter with Voldemort and his sudden interrogation by the Ministry of Magic.
The smile on Tina's face faded and became more serious.
As an old Auror, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Kyle's approach, and she would definitely do everything possible to protect herself in the face of the Death Eaters who did all kinds of evil.
Not to mention the Fierce Fire Curse, even if it is a Death Curse.
But the Death Eaters would go to the Ministry of Magic to complain, which Tina didn't expect, at least never in her career.
"Good thing there is Diana." She said with some rejoicing.
"yes." Kyle nodded, if it weren't for the flashback spell not working, he wouldn't have had it that easy.
Newt next to him was also relieved, he knew that Kyle had met Voldemort, but he was unaware of the subsequent interrogation.
"You don't have to be scrupulous." Tina glanced at Kyle and said, "If you encounter a Death Eater again, you can still do it, whether it's a fire spell or something, even if you use it, saving your life is the most important thing."
"As for whether you will be questioned by the Ministry of Magic in the future, you don't have to worry, if they want to pursue it, I can send you to Ilvermorny, the British Ministry of Magic can't control it."
"Hey, you should trust Dumbledore." Newt muttered, "He's not going to watch Kyle get convicted." ”
"It's better to be like this." Tina said angrily.
She knew that Newt trusted Dumbledore unconditionally, but that didn't mean Dumbledore could do everything.
Sometimes, you still have to make other preparations.
Newt naturally knew Tina's thoughts, so he didn't argue.
After eating the cookies, Newt was ready to go back to the box, the cubs of the invisible beast still needed a little time to get used to the environment, and although Dobi helped, he was still a little uneasy.
Kyle followed.
"I heard Dumbledore mention that the man came back to life."
After getting to the box, Newt took a blanket from the shelf and said, "I said I could help, but Dumbledore refused, and he only asked me to write to a few friends and invite them to come to England." ”
"Ah, it's okay, we can handle it." Kyle said.
He was very sympathetic to Dumbledore's decision, Newt was indeed a very powerful helper, but he was almost a hundred years old, and there was no need to get involved in this matter again.
And most importantly, Newt's uncertainties are too great...... It doesn't matter if it's Paris, but this is Britain after all, and its own territory, it's better not to let him run around until it is absolutely necessary.
The two of them made their way through the woods and a lake, and soon came to the lair of the Invisible Beast.
Dobby was crouching there, teasing the newborn invisible beast with a wooden stick tied to a rattan ball.
The fur on the little guy's body is close to a gray-brown color, and the invisible effect is not very good, flashing and flashing, it looks like a little wizard who has just learned the illusion charm and is not yet proficient in using it.
Only when they grow up a little bit and their bodies become silvery white can they hide themselves better, so now is also the time when the invisible beasts are most vulnerable.
Hearing the footsteps, Dobby immediately turned his head and greeted the two.
"Mr. Scamander, I feel that its invisibility effect is much better than before."
"That's right." Newt said with a smile, "Invisible beast cubs learn very quickly, and they can barely be detected by natural predators after two days of birth, and of course, it will take a month to completely turn silver white." ”
"Mr. Scamander, Dobby will be able to take care of it." Dobby said, patting his chest.
"I have no doubt about that." Newt laughed, "But you'd better not stay here all the time, as it will make them lose their vigilance and upset the adult invisible beasts."
"You'd better hide in a more secluded place, like ...... There. Newt pointed to a place with lush bushes.
Although he didn't understand much, Dobby nodded anyway and ran over quickly, hiding himself in the bushes, leaving only one big ear exposed.
After that, the two went somewhere else.
Kyle finally made a trip, and Newt naturally didn't let go of this opportunity, taking him to meet a lot of magical animals that behaved abnormally or were throwing tantrums.
Kyle also makes another cameo appearance as a Magical Beast psychiatrist to help find out why.
It wasn't until late afternoon that they came out of the moon beast's cave.
A moon idiot was ostracized by the tribe because of its non-standard dancing moves.
If you don't want to say that Newt's chest is magical, you can even meet the moon idiot beast that can't dance, and it's really insightful.
All afternoon, Newt taught each other to dance, and it wasn't over until now.
"Do you want to go back to dinner?" Newt looked at the time and asked, "Or do you want to go somewhere else?" ”
"I'm not hungry yet." Kyle said with a smile.
Newt nodded, as if he understood something, "Say, where do you want to go."
"But I have to warn you, Dumbledore won't let some magical creatures into the castle, such as the Cyst Panther."
Kyle's newly opened mouth closed again in an instant.
He did come to Newt for help this time, and Diana was right, sometimes the Fire Curse wasn't the only option to deal with Death Eaters.
So he thought of another way...... Find a helper.
The Poison Leopard was one of his original purposes, but before he could speak, Newt directly refused.
"It's not a special time." Kyle whispered, "And I'm confident I can restrain it." ”
"It's ......," Newt hesitated.
As Kyle said, the Death Eaters had already done it to him, and no one could guarantee that there would be a second time.
And this time the Death Eaters used a different trick...... Complain to the Ministry of Magic, their ruse didn't work out this time, but what if they do it again, they can't really let Kyle run to Ilvermorny to hide.
"The poisonous leopard is not the enemy of me." Newt whispered, "Once it attacks, everyone around it will be affected, and it is likely that it will accidentally injure its own people." ”
"I'll take notice." Kyle said.
Newt was silent for a long time before he said, "Is there only a sac leopard?" ”
"Oh, there's another one." Kyle leaned over and whispered something.
After hearing this, Newt's eyes immediately widened, and he shook his head again and again:
"No, I can lend you the poison leopard, but this one is absolutely not good, it is too dangerous, Dumbledore will definitely not agree to you taking it to the castle......"
"That was before, and it's different now."
Kyle said, "The castle itself is no longer safe, and it is even in an unprecedented crisis.
"Besides, it's a member of Hogwarts and has a responsibility to help protect the school."
"Even if you say so." Newt shook his head anyway, "Well, I'll write a letter to Dumbledore, and if he agrees, that's fine." ”
"No need." Kyle whispered, "And it was mine." ”
He didn't want Dumbledore to know about it, or he wouldn't agree to it nine times out of ten.
"It's necessary." "And one thing you're wrong about is that it's only in your hands when you're a graduate that it's in your hands." ”
"Okay." Kyle looked left and right, and changed the subject, "Why don't we go and see how about the cyst leopard first, the little guy should have grown up." ”
"Although I am not an adult, I have indeed grown up a lot."
