"What did Connor give you?"

"Hurry up and open it and take a look."

As soon as Dumbledore left, Fred and George gathered around Kyle, teasingly looking at him.

Kyle didn't twist either, and opened the box directly.

Inside is a robe, but the style is completely different from the common style in England, and it is relatively more ornate, similar to the dress robe.

The brown fabric has a special light color pattern, like a pattern, but if you look closely, you will see that it is due to the fact that the fabric itself has two colors.

The ends are brown and the middle is light gray, and when they are braided together in a specific way, they create this unique pattern.

"I've seen a scarf in Hogsmeade before, and it's made of similar material." Fred said thoughtfully.

George thought for a moment, "I remember the shopkeeper saying it was...... Lake, Lake is something, in short, it's the neck hair of a rare magical animal. ”

"Lecrota." Kyle said.

"Yes, that's the name." Fred nodded repeatedly.

Lecrota is a large magical creature that looks a lot like an elk and is characterized by an incredibly large mouth.

When its mouth is fully open, it can even swallow a cow with ease...... Of course, it is a herbivore in its own right and has a gentle temperament.

This fantastic creature itself is not uncommon, it is just that it is relatively rare in the UK.

"Anyway, where the hell did Connor go?" "We wrote her a lot of letters, but we didn't get a single reply," George asked. ”

"Kyle, you know what?"

"All I know is that Snape took her to the Extraordinary Pharmacists Guild." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I don't know exactly where, after all, I haven't received a reply."

"But, I guess it's Nordic."

The reason for this is that Lecrota likes to stay in cold places, such as the wizards in Denmark or Norway, who like the robes and cloaks made of Lecrota's wool, which are much warmer than wool.

"Well, I really hope she'll succeed." Fred said heartily.

"Okay, don't talk about this, won't you know when the school starts?" George said, "Kyle, put it on." ”

"It's August......" Kyle looked at him incredulously, "you're letting me wear this?" ”

"Try it, but you don't wear it all the time." Fred said.

"Tsk, okay." Seeing the excitement on the faces of the two of them, Kyle sighed and could only take out his robe and put it on his body.

Not to mention, the size is not too big or small, and it fits so well that it's almost custom-made.

"Strange," Kyle straightened out the folds in his clothes, "why don't you feel hot?" ”

"Of course it's not hot...... Fred shuddered, rubbing his arms and shivering, "It's the sudden coldness around you......"

George also tightened his thin clothes, "What's the matter, is it already winter?" ”

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a frightened scream from upstairs.

"Oops!" Kyle suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran upstairs.

Really, how could he forget such an important thing!

In a hurry, Kyle apparitioned directly to Harry's room on the third floor and pushed the door open.

Really......

In the room, a Dementor was floating in the air blankly, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione huddled together, huddled in a corner and shivering.

The Dementor turned his head and immediately floated over after noticing Kyle.

"Be careful, don't come in!" Hermione screamed as she reminded, "There's a Dementor here...... Blame? ”

In the next second, her voice stopped abruptly.

Because Hermione watched Kyle open a chest, and the Dementors obediently jumped in, the whole thing went as smoothly as it should.

But it's a Dementor...... Not a pet owl.

Hermione was a little confused.

"I'm sorry," Kyle said with some embarrassment, "I used this box to keep Dementors on the spot, but I forgot about it after a lot of things." ”

"No, it's okay......" Harry shuddered and stood up.

In fact, after Lupin's teaching, he was basically not so afraid of Dementors anymore, mainly because what happened just now was too sudden.

He happily opened the box to put something inside, only to open the lock when a Dementor came out of his face, and he could even clearly see the skeleton-like face under the cloak.

Who is not afraid of this, Harry did not faint on the spot, which is already commendable for courage.

"But Kyle, why do you have a Dementor with you!" He asked with a wistful sigh.

"I caught it." Kyle explained, "I was going to leave it to the Ministry of Magic, but like I said, I forgot. ”

"What's going on!"

At this time, the adults who heard the movement also came.

"I just heard someone screaming." Sirius was the first to run in, taking a closer look at the room and asking, "Are you all alright?" ”

"Ah, it's fine." Harry glanced at Kyle, then pretended to be calm, "We just accidentally opened a joke paraphernalia, and Ron was scared. ”

"yes, that's right, that's it." Ron said.

"Jokes?" Sirius looked around suspiciously, "Strange, why is it so cold, it feels like a dementor......"

"I guess it must be something like a snowflake tree."

Before Sirius could finish speaking, Dumbledore walked in from outside, and said in a very nostalgic tone, "That was the most popular thing more than a decade ago, and it only took a few seconds to make a tree full of snow. ”

"Professor Dumbledore?" Harry stood up and glanced to the side with some dismay.

But Dumbledore didn't seem to see his little move, and just said to himself, "But I must warn you, Mr. Weasley, Professor McGonagall would not approve of anyone bringing such a thing into the school." ”

"Ah, is it?" Although Fred didn't know what was happening, he still subconsciously said: "Then we won't sell." ”

"That's right." George chimed in, saying, "We definitely won't have this kind of thing in our store anymore." ”

"That's great." Dumbledore smiled, "Sirius, I'd kind of like to warm up with a whiskey if I could." ”

"No problem, Professor Dumbledore." Sirius nodded, "I remember there were still a few bottles of aged fire whiskey in the underground cellar. ”

The adults left the room one after another.

Harry patted his chest, "Did you say Professor Dumbledore found out?" ”

"Definitely found it." Hermione was sure, "Nothing can fool Dumbledore. ”

"Then why didn't he expose us?" Ron wondered.

"I guess I don't want to cause panic, and don't forget, Sirius still has a shadow on the Dementors." Kyle said, "Anyway, thank you for helping me cover up." ”

"It's okay, we're friends." Harry said indifferently, subconsciously glancing at the box on the ground, "There can't be anything else in there." ”

"Don't worry, it's definitely gone." Kyle said, "Of course, if you have concerns, I can help you get another one." ”

"No, no, no." Harry waved his hand, "As long as I don't have it, I kind of like this box."

"But Kyle, you think it's better for you to tell everyone, I mean, with a Dementor, can you sleep at night?"

Harry felt that if he had been in the same room with the Dementors, he would not have been able to sleep, not even through a box.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Kyle said, "It's just one night anyway, I'll hand it over to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow." ”

"Okay then." Seeing that Kyle had already made up his mind, Harry didn't say anything more.

"You're beautiful in this robe." Hermione stared at Kyle's clothes, "Where did you buy this, Lady Morkin's robes store?" But when I went there the other day, I didn't seem to see a similar style. ”

"Oh, it's a gift from Connor from abroad." Kyle explained, taking off his robes by the way.

After the dementor disappeared, the coldness was gone, and Lecrota's fur did its job, and in just a few minutes, he was sweating profusely.

"No wonder." Hermione glanced at the robe again.

Harry asks Kyle to stay and play wizarding chess for a while, but Kyle refuses.

He had more important things to do, and he wasn't prepared to waste any more time.

Harry invited Fred and George again, but they also refused, and Dumbledore's words provided them with a good inspiration.

Something that even Dumbledore remembered was sure to be very popular, and they decided to make a replica of something like a snowflake tree overnight.

……

Sirius's room for Kyle was also on the third floor, next door to Harry, to be exact, just two steps away.

Back in his room, Kyle carefully closed the door before he sat down at the table and excitedly took out the parchment papers he had been carrying in his pocket.

Anything related to the famous wizard Merlin, no matter how many wizards it is, can't be calm, even if Kyle has met the Hogwarts Big Four before and had face-to-face communication with Rowena Ravenclaw.

While the Big Four were all great magicians, none of them would say "Gryffindor's beard" when they were excited.

In a way, the name Merlin has become a symbol that no one can replace.

When he was at the table before, Kyle only glanced at it and put it away, but when he took it out, he found that there were five pieces of parchment.

However, there was nothing on the top parchment except for the line of words he had seen before, and it was supposed to be protective, protecting the real content from being seen by others.

The same goes for the parchment at the bottom

After all, Diana had warned him when she gave him these things, and if a second person saw it, the content on it would disappear in an instant.

Kyle took the blank parchment and looked at the letter from Merlin.

Of course, it was certainly not the original letter in his hand, after all, even the parchment was new, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the kind that was rubbed with magic, but it didn't matter.

Kyle only had one look at it and was sure it was Merlin's handwritten letter.

Because the real content on the parchment is all ancient runi, and it is the most cumbersome original runi without any simplification.

It's a bit uncomfortable, whether it's taught by Riddle, or taught by Babling, or the content in the textbooks, it's all in the Rune language, which was simplified by Rowena Ravenclaw in the Middle Ages.

Although Merlin was also a medieval wizard, he was at least 500 years ahead of the Big Four when Hogwarts was founded.

This most primitive Runivan is basically two things compared to those that Kyle has learned, and it is not a little more complicated, and Kyle looked at it for a while, and felt that his temples were suddenly jumping, and he had a headache.

It's not completely incomprehensible, but it's hard to read, and at least half of a paragraph he doesn't recognize, and it's the kind he can't guess.

Originally, Kyle was thinking of jitting down the content and studying it slowly when he had time.

But soon he found out...... I can't remember it myself.

The words seemed to have wings, and as soon as he finished reading them, the next second they flew away from his mind.

Kyle grabbed a new piece of parchment and tried to copy the contents...... The same goes for it.

When he finally finished copying, he looked back and realized that he had all copied them wrong, and none of the two parchments were the same.

Kyle was sure that this was definitely not his fault, it was copied against each other, and no matter how complicated it was, it couldn't be a word wrong.

The only explanation is that there is something wrong with these parchments, which are supposed to have some kind of magic on them, prohibiting all forms of copying and recording.

Kyle had no choice but to put his things back away and go downstairs to find Sirius.

……

"Runi translation?" Sirius looked at Kyle quizzically, "What do you want that kind of thing for?" ”

"I got something, but I couldn't read it." Kyle explained.

He didn't know if it was in the Black family's private library, but he had to try it for now.

As one of the oldest pure-blood families, there should be.

"Primordial Runiwen?" Dumbledore, who was drinking on the side, glanced thoughtfully at Kyle and whispered, "Looks like you've received a great birthday present." ”

The people here are trustworthy, and Kyle has no intention of hiding it.

"Yes......"

He just opened his mouth, but found that he could not speak.

"Don't worry, everything in the Department of Mysteries is like this, there are always some strange restrictions."

Dumbledore seemed to have long been surprised, and said calmly: "Actually, I am the same, sometimes I know something, but I can't say anything. But don't worry, it won't last long. ”

Hearing his words, Kyle nodded, and didn't try to say anything more.

At this time, Sirius also reacted and said, "The Black family should have a lot of books related to ancient runes, but I don't know if there are any things you want.

"Well, I'll ask Kreacher to bring all the books, and you can look for them yourself."

"Don't be that troublesome." Dumbledore stood up and said, "If it's the oldest rune translation, I've got one, so wait a minute." ”

With that, Dumbledore vanished.

It wasn't until five minutes later that he reappeared in the dining room and handed Kyle an old book in his hand.

"I've been thinking about what gift to give you, and now I don't have to think about it."

Kyle reached out and took it.

The book is really old, probably because it is often looked through, and even the paper inside has faded.

But that's exactly what Kyle needs, and it's a comparison of the original rune and the simplified rune.

"Thank you, Professor." Kyle said.

"You're welcome." Dumbledore said, "Go back, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a time limit for what you got to go." ”

Kyle nodded, and then apparitioned back to the third floor.

With the comparison, looking at what is on the parchment is less complicated.

Although you have to check the translation every other word, it is enough.

And more importantly, Kyle discovers that it's a teaching letter, and that Merlin is teaching someone to use the Iron Armor Charm...... The letter is called armor defense, I don't know if it's a translation problem, but the effect should be the same.

[Combine 'Steadfastness' with 'Guardian' and combine it with 'City Wall' to form a magic circle at the tip of the staff......]

['Earth' is the key ......]

"That's not right." Kyle shook his head and muttered quietly, "This isn't supposed to mean earth, it's 'continuous growth'." ”

There are many different meanings of the same rune, and this is especially true if it has not been simplified, so even if there is a translation, it is not so easy to read.

Kyle can only list all the possible scenarios, and then change them bit by bit according to the meaning of the context.

I have to say, it's a time-consuming job, but Kyle enjoys it.
