As Kyle left the tearoom and returned to the second floor, he heard an angry roar coming from Sirius' hospital room.

"If you guys don't shut up, I'll hang you upside down from the ceiling of the hallway!"

The three were then kicked out of the room by Mr. Weasley.

Ron stood in the hallway, looked at the locked door and muttered, "Really, we just talked a few words without disturbing him......"

"But we've already bothered him." Hermione said fairly, "Wake him up twice, Sirius should kick us out......"

"But we can't be blamed." Ron pouted, "The room is so big, it's useless for us to keep our voices down." ”

"Alright, it's a big deal, we'll come back tomorrow." Harry said, "It's a holiday anyway, so you can come over at any time...... What about Mr. Weasley. ”

"I don't know, I should go outside to find Bill, he's going back with us."

As they spoke, Kyle had already gone downstairs.

Unable to explain how he had come from Hogwarts, he didn't choose to go down the hallway to greet the three of them, but went straight back to the waiting room on the first floor and left St. Mungo's down the aisle.

Outside, Mr. Weasley was talking to Bill.

"Let me drive when I get back, how about ......" he stared at Sirius' new car, his eyes full of eagerness.

Naturally, Bill would not refuse, and directly handed him the car keys.

Mr. Weasley took the key, and when he looked up, he saw Kyle coming out of the department store window.

"You're done talking to Dean Sathya?" He asked.

"Well, we're done."

Speaking of this, Kyle only felt his chest twitch for a moment...... Seven thousand Galleons, the time for a cup of tea is gone, and it would be false to say that you don't feel distressed.

But Mr. Weasley didn't know what was going on, he pointed to the car, "Come on first, I'll call Harry and them now, and we'll go back together." ”

"No, Mr. Weasley." Kyle shook his head and pulled a teapot out of his pocket. "I just asked Dean Sathya to help make a portkey that leads directly to Hogsmeade."

"Hogsmeade?"

"Well, I signed the list of students to stay at the school, so technically, I sneaked out this time......" Kyle glanced at the time and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Weasley, there's still a minute left before the portkey takes effect, and I have to hurry." ”

"Ah, okay." Mr. Weasley said he opened the car door, "Do you want to come into the car?" It's safe enough here. ”

Kyle wanted to go to the phone booth, but when Mr. Weasley said that, he didn't refuse and got straight into the car.

……

By the time Kyle returned to Hogwarts, it was already seven o'clock, just in time for dinner to begin.

This year, there were not many people who chose to stay on campus, only about 30, so the auditorium was also changed, leaving only a table in the middle, and all the students and professors who stayed on campus sat down to eat.

Thankfully, Kyle doesn't see Umbridge on the table, and he is supposed to have left the school as well.

That's good news, and if she's here, Kyle won't be able to eat it.

Dumbledore was also absent, and Professor Flitwick led them in singing Christmas carols and pulling off a ribbon firecracker as customary.

The streamers were full of knick-knacks, such as hats of various shapes, and wizard chess, so Professor Flitwick made a leather cowboy hat and happily put it on.

Kyle also opens a hat full of sequins, but he doesn't bring it himself, but prepares it as a Christmas gift for Sniff.

This shiny thing is simply priceless in the eyes of Sniff.

Soon, the table was full of delicacies.

Connor spread a layer of marmalade on the toast and whispered, "How's Professor Blake?" ”

"The runi snake venom on his body has been cleaned up." Kyle said, "I think in a few days, he should be out of the hospital." ”

"That's good."

"By the way, when did Umbridge leave school?"

"It should have been in the morning, or maybe it was last night." Connor thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen her all day today. ”

"I shouldn't be able to see her for the next two weeks." Kyle smiled.

"yes." Connor smiled, "I have to say, this is the best Christmas present." ”

Although there were few people on campus, dinner was no more deserted than usual, and during dessert, Professor McGonagall conjured twenty dancing snowmen, making the auditorium look like a Christmas ball.

After dinner, the snowmen were transformed into ice sculptures, frozen in all directions of the auditorium.

Everyone applauded and returned to their common room amid laughter.

The next day was Christmas.

Kyle wakes up that morning to find that gifts are almost half the house.

Because of the late wake-up, Kyle was busy until noon before he finally finished opening all the presents.

Most of them were books and sweets, every year, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been to Duke Honey's candy.

Connor was given chocolate, which looked like it was homemade, and Kyle plucked up the courage to taste a piece and found that it tasted good.

And there seemed to be some kind of magic potion in it, and after eating it, the sleepiness when he first woke up disappeared in an instant, and the person became much more energetic.

It's a bit like a sobering potion, but the taste is different, it's a nice vanilla smell.

In addition to that, Mrs. Weasley gave her a Christmas jumper, which was gray and comfortable to wear.

Hagrid gave him a fur wallet with fangs, and the attached note said it was a burglar-proof wallet and that Gareon would be safe inside.

What he said was not wrong, the only problem was that this wallet didn't recognize anyone, and even if Kyle wanted to take out the money, he wouldn't be able to put it inside.

Professor Snape sent a bottle of air.

Dumbledore's gift was a woollen scarf.

In addition, Dean Sasya also sent Christmas gifts...... A bottle of Elixir.

After seeing the bright golden bottle, Kyle suddenly lost interest in the gift that followed.

"I knew that this should be saved for the end before it was dismantled." Kyle muttered.

After opening all the presents, Kyle walks out of the dorm room and goes to the auditorium with Connor.

The ice sculptures were still there, and they had a robe of ornate gowns, also magically transformed, that looked like Professor Flitwick's handiwork.

After eating Christmas lunch, Connor was ready to go to the library, and according to the previous plan, she would read at least three books related to potions this Christmas holiday.

Kyle leaves the castle alone and makes his way to Hagrid's cabin.

I don't know if it's because of Umbridge or something else, Hagrid has been in a bad mood lately.

When Kyle arrived, he was sitting next to a pumpkin patch cooking a pot of gooey stuff with an empty bucket next to him, presumably preparing food for some kind of magical animal.

"Merry Christmas Hagrid, what is this?" Kyle greeted him and asked with a frown.

Hagrid seemed to be thinking about something, startled by Kyle's voice.

"Merry Christmas, Kyle." He looked up and said, "Just some meat, offal, and couscous wheat cake stewed in a thick soup." His tone sounded a little weak, "Hmm...... For Louwe, it loves this. ”

"Oh, that's right." Kyle nodded, no matter how strange the food was, as long as it was related to the three-headed dog, it would instantly become reasonable.

That magical animal is really not a picky eater, and it never cares how it looks.

Kyle changed a chair for himself, sat down next to Hagrid and asked, "What's going on with you?" ”

"What?" Hagrid asked, "I'm fine." ”

"Then why were you ten minutes late for the last lesson, you've never been late before, and ......" Kyle glanced at Hagrid's face, "and how did your injuries come about?" ”

Hagrid's eyes were swollen again, and there was a large, noticeable black blue around him, as if he had been smashed by a Bludger.

"No, nothing." Hagrid hurriedly lowered his head and tried to cover his eyes with his hands, "I just...... Accidentally bumped into a tree. ”

"Then you're really accurate." Kyle laughs and doesn't expose his flawed lies.

"Okay...... Actually, it's because of that obnoxious Umbridge. Hagrid hesitated and said:

"She told me that she would check my class again after the holidays, and if she wasn't satisfied, she would give me a notice to stay at school."

Hagrid's tone grew smoother, and he angrily grabbed a handful of wood and poured it into the fire, and the pot of unidentified objects immediately bubbled.

But how can she be satisfied...... I mean she always finds an excuse to give my class a low grade, no matter what I do, it's useless, even if I speak normally, she will remember me as intimidating the students.

"It's ridiculous, she obviously did it on purpose, just because I said I would always support Dumbledore!"

"Of course, that's what she came to Hogwarts for." Kyle said.

Hagrid sighed, a little reluctant to talk about the topic.

"Why didn't you go back on vacation?" He changed the subject, "I thought you would go to Sirius's house for Christmas, just like Harry." ”

"I'm going to do one thing......," Kyle said, "but it's going to be in school, and it's in Umbridge's absence, and I need your help." ”

"No problem." Hagrid didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "Just say it, what do you need me to do." ”

"Don't worry." Kyle waved his hand, "Before I do that, I want to ask you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's the owl in the school, is there anything unusual lately?" "Like getting hurt, or losing a letter, or whatever. ”

"How do you know?" Hagrid said angrily, "Although the letter has not been lost, there are owls injured, and there are more than one.

"I don't know which bastard did it, but if I catch the guy who attacked the courier, I'm going to teach him a good lesson."

"Great." Kyle said subconsciously.

"What, you're wrong." Hagrid frowned and said with a serious expression, "It's not a good thing that these owls have been attacked, and it's likely that someone is trying to steal the letters they sent. ”

"Then let him see it, don't catch it, just throw it to him." Kyle smiled and said, "I have a plan that might get Umbridge out of Hogwarts." ”

Hagrid didn't bother to cover his eyes anymore and immediately looked over.

"Tell me what I can do."

"It's easy, go to the Owl Post Office and send a letter to Hogwarts from there."

"What did you say?" Thinking that he had misheard, Hagrid asked, "You asked me to go to the Owl Post Office and send a letter to Hogwarts?" ”

"That's right." "Not only that, but you also have to tell the owl to make a big circle when sending the letter, creating the illusion that it is coming from different directions." ”

Hagrid was even more confused, he couldn't figure out what Kyle was doing this.

But Kyle didn't explain, just took out a thick pile of parchment and handed it over, saying, "This is the letter you want to send, and the recipient can write your name." ”

Hagrid took the parchment and couldn't help but glance down.

Oddly enough, while these were all given to him by Kyle, the handwriting was different for each letter.

Hagrid looked at the first letter, which was scrawled.

"I'd love to accept your invitation, Albus, how about we see each other at the old place, and then we can talk in detail about the incident you mentioned earlier."

"This is a letter to Dumbledore?" Hagrid thought.

But isn't Kyle in school? He wanted to discuss something with Dumbledore, wouldn't it be good to go straight to the Headmaster's office? Why write a letter in one more go.

Hagrid looked at the second letter again.

The words on it are much neater, completely different from the first one, as if it was written by another person.

"Professor Dumbledore, I have forwarded your message to my uncle, and he has expressed his full support.

"In addition, my friends and I are of the same opinion, and we are really looking forward to this Christmas holiday coming soon."

Did Dumbledore make any new decisions? How he didn't know. Also, when did Kyle have another uncle...... I didn't hear that Chris has a brother.

Hagrid continued to scroll down, and the handwriting changed again.

"You should have done this a long time ago, Albus, and we'll see you on the twentieth."

Did the twentieth make any action?

The more Hagrid looked at it, the more dazed he became, and he felt all kinds of doubts rush into his head.

He now felt as if he had fallen under the Oblivion Charm, remembering nothing.

"Don't look at Hagrid, I made it up." Kyle patted Hale's arm and said, "And it's not for you." ”

Hagrid looked up, inexplicably relieved.

"You wrote to Professor Dumbledore?"

"Not really." Kyle shook his head, "It's for someone who wants to peek at the letter."

"Hagrid, remember not to choose an owl that is too dutiful when you send a letter, it is better to choose the kind that throws the letter and runs away when you encounter danger."

"It's not easy." "Owls don't fail their duties," said Hagrid, "at least I've never seen what you're talking about." ”

After realizing that he couldn't guess Kyle's thoughts, Hagrid didn't bother to think about it...... Whatever Kyle says, he just does.

"It's okay, just ask, what if there is." Kyle said.

The two discussed some more details, mainly Kyle telling Hagrid what to do, until there was a faint smell of mushy coming from the cauldron next to him, and Hagrid hurriedly extinguished the fire with earth.

"Kyle, I've got to get Glöpp lunch now, we'll talk about that in the afternoon." Hagrid glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, "I promise to be back as soon as possible." ”

"Glopp?" Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you just say that this was for Love?" ”

Hagrid slammed his mouth shut and looked at Kyle in panic.

"Yes, it's Lowe." He stumbled, "Glop...... It's the new name I gave to the head in the middle of it. ”

"Oh, that's right." Kyle said nonchalantly, "I thought Grope was the name of a giant." ”

"When, of course not......" Hagrid was even more weak-hearted, his hand unconsciously clutching his coat, "How can there be giants in the Forbidden Forest, right?" ”

"You're right." Kyle smiled and said, "Then you can go quickly, that's all for me."

"Oh yes, and most importantly, when you send letters, remember to choose encrypted mailing, so that the post office can add a little anti-Muggle magic to the letters, the kind that can only be opened with spells.

Kyle took a handful of Galleons from his pocket and handed it to Hagrid, "That's the cost of postage. ”

Hagrid was upset at once.

"What are you doing here?" He said dissatisfiedly, "Take it back quickly, it's just to help send the letter, will I still take your money?" ”

Kyle wanted to say something, but Hagrid's face was getting ugly and ugly.

"Okay then." Kyle, who could see that he was starting to get angry, shrugged his shoulders and put Garon back in his pocket.

"That's right." Hagrid smiled and said, "I'll go to the owl post office in the afternoon, don't worry." ”

"There's no need to rush." Kyle said, "It's best to send two or three a day, not too many." ”

"No problem." Hagrid readily agreed.
