Chapter 112 The Mouse and the Witch
It seemed that all of a sudden, their wardrobes were empty, and the sounds of little wizards playing could no longer be heard in the dormitory.
But unlike the beginning of the semester, there were some pictures on the walls of the dormitory that had not been taken away. The Quidditch players on them were just like usual, constantly repeating the pitching action, and then cheering and celebrating. They seemed to know that the master here would be back soon.
The notice was sent to each student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays.
Because Hagrid was still in St. Mungo's, Professor McGonagall was temporarily responsible for leading them to board the fleet across the lake.
On the Hogwarts Express, Kyle rejected the invitation of the Weasley brothers and did not go to the box with them to discuss the future path (how to earn Galleons next semester) and the development direction of the magic world (how to sell their products outside Hogwarts).
The huge sum of 100 Galleons has made the Weasley brothers a little crazy. In the last few days of the semester, they did not even look for clues to the Marauder's Map password, and have been studying how to make more money.
I hope they can come up with some good ideas.
Kyle walked along the train and pushed open a compartment door at the end.
There was only one person inside.
Connor curled up in the seat, staring blankly at the neat wheat field outside the window.
Kyle sat opposite her naturally, "Are you still sad about Pochi?"
...
"Her name is not Pochi.
After a long silence, Connor spoke softly: "Her name is Ratley, she is my great aunt."
...
Connor seemed to want to talk to someone, and she said a lot.
The countryside outside the window became greener and neater. As the train passed through Muggle towns, Kyle gradually understood what happened.
This is a very old story.
Eleven years ago, Connor's father accidentally said Voldemort's name after drinking and was killed by the Death Eaters who came.
Fortunately, Connor and her mother were not at home at that time, so they escaped.
Then not long before the start of school last year, Connor's mother also died in an accident. Since then, Kanna was the only one left in the Prince family.
Although the surname Prince is not as famous as the Holy 28 families, it is also a pure blood with a long history. This incident naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Pochi... Ratri appeared at this time.
But when she came, she found that Kanna's family's previous property had long been divided up by other pure bloods.
So she set her sights on the vault of Gringotts and wanted to use her Animagus to steal the key.
As long as she got the key, she would find a way to get rid of Kanna. She could use the identity of Prince's distant relative to take the things inside.
Later, she really found it, but pure-blood families all have some treasures hidden in the bottom of the box, and the box containing the key to the Prince family vault is like this, which requires direct blood to open.
But the problem is that she doesn't know the Imperius Curse, and she doesn't dare to find someone to cooperate.
Just when she was worried about what to do, the devastated Connor fell in love with the mouse that "always accompanied her at home" and brought it to Hogwarts as a pet.
What happened next Needless to say, she began to try every possible way to steal Connor's money, hoping that she would leave Hogwarts as soon as possible and take the key to the Gringotts vault.
Her action was originally very successful. If nothing unexpected happened, Connor would go home to get the money during the Christmas holiday, but she didn't expect Kyle to come out halfway and forcibly extend Connor's life.
According to Connor, after being injected with truth serum, Ratley kept cursing the "meddling boy".
Kyle touched his chin and thought for a moment: "In this case, I saved your life?"
"That's true." Connor nodded.
After saying what she had been hiding in her heart, she felt much better.
"Then you have to thank me."
Kyle smiled and said: "And after you lost the rat, I lost a large order of tonics."
"Then I will continue to buy. "
Kanna took out a deformed lizard skin bag and put it on the table, "It's still the same as before, one bottle per month, until these are used up."
The bag was filled with gold Galleons.
In addition to the original 100 Galleons, the ones that were stolen before were also in it, adding up to about 150.
"What about your rat?"
"I can go to Diagon Alley to buy another one."
"Are you sure...you still want to keep rats?" Kyle looked at her suspiciously.
"What do you care about me!" Kanna seemed to think of the scene in the Forbidden Forest, and her expression suddenly became a little ugly, "Do you want it or not? If you say so, I won't buy it!"
"Yes, only a fool would not want the Galleons that are delivered to the door!"
Kyle quickly put the bag on the table into his pocket.
"By the way, like Bo...that rat, are there many people coveting your family's vault? "
Kanna turned her head away and said nothing.
Kyle knew the answer from her expression.
Come to think of it, the magic world is so small, and for every pure-blood family, there must be a lot of distant relatives who are not related at all.
Kanna was unhappy after the exam, probably because she didn't want to go back and face these people.
"Well, I won't give you the tonic." Kyle tapped the table with his fingers and said thoughtfully: "But since you are taking money to help others get rid of disasters, how about I help you solve these troubles."
"What do you mean." Kanna tilted her head, not quite understanding.
"It means that this matter is left to me." Kyle said calmly: "I promise that no one will bother you again during the summer vacation."
"Really..." Kanna looked at Kyle suspiciously, obviously not believing it.
"In fact, you don't have to comfort me, I can handle them."
"Just wait and see, I will definitely not let you down."
Kyle did not explain, and took out a lot of snacks and put them on the table.
He was a little hungry.
There was nothing else to find on the train. If you didn't bring food in advance, you could only eat some snacks to fill your stomach.
At this time, Cedric and Qiu suddenly opened the door of the compartment.
"Kanna, I've been looking for you."
Qiu sat next to Kanna and asked with concern: "How are you, are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Kanna smiled back.
In fact, they had been here before, but they just didn't come in.
"Kyle, what are your plans for the summer vacation?"
Cedric opened a pack of chocolate frogs and said, "My dad is going to take me to France, we can go together."
France?
Kyle thought about it, this is a good place, and he is also curious about Beauxbatons School of Magic.
It's just a little too far.
After thinking about it carefully, Kyle shook his head: "Next time Cedric, I have other plans for the summer vacation."
"That's a pity." Cedric said a little disappointedly: "I will bring you a gift."
