Chapter 269 Different Treatments

The door to the underground classroom opened and closed, leaving only Professor McGonagall and her two useless students in the room.

Her chest heaved violently as she stared at them like an angry hawk.

Finally, it was Ron who broke the silence.

"Professor, was that...a phoenix?"

"Yes, it's a phoenix!" Professor McGonagall didn't seem to want to say anything more, just nodded and took it off.

"You'd better go to the school hospital, Weasley, your eye is swollen."

"Nothing." Ron quickly covered his eyes, "Professor, just now Principal Dumbledore said that the sorting is over?"

"Yes, just now..."

"Then where is my sister?" Ron asked nervously.

"Also in Gryffindor."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's answer, Ron said happily: "Oh, great."

Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, the results were pretty good.

But when it came to Gryffindor, Harry seemed to suddenly think of something, and said quickly: "Professor, school hadn't started yet when we got in the car, so we shouldn't deduct points from Gryffindor, right?"

Professor McGonagall gave him a stern look, but Harry noticed that her lips were no longer pursed so tightly.

…

...It turns out that Harry's words are still useful.

Professor McGonagall did not deduct points from Gryffindor.

Although they were in confinement and had to eat in the underground classroom, it was much better than Harry expected.

Because he had to go back to the banquet, Professor McGonagall quickly left.

After the door was closed again, Ron blew a long whistle softly.

"How lucky..." He grabbed a sandwich sent by Professor McGonagall, "It's just a solitary confinement. This is much better than being expelled, and there are no points deducted."

"I think so too." Harry also grabbed a piece.

"By the way, how is your wand?"

"That's not my wand," Ron mumbled with his mouth full of chicken and ham.

He took out a haddock made of rubber from his pocket and said, "This is a trick wand made by Fred and George. They probably wanted to mess with me, so they used it to replace my wand."

"Thankfully they did," Harry said with a smile.

"Yeah... when it hit the tree, it almost turned over." Ron put the haddock back into his pocket with some luck.

"However, you have to be more careful in the future."

Harry took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "I really wish I could go to the party..."

"Professor McGonagall doesn't want us to show off," Ron said wisely. "We don't want others to think that driving a flying car to school is a glorious thing.

"But Kyle can go to the banquet..."

"It's different. He was brought to school by the Phoenix. Of course he deserves to show off." Ron shrugged. "If it were me, I could brag about it for a whole year... The same goes for anyone."

"Are phoenixes rare?" Harry asked.

"It should be said that they are very rare, much rarer than the fire dragon." Ron picked up the second sandwich. "Many people will never see them in their lifetime. I only saw them once on the Quidditch pitch. I still remember them. Is that the game that was suspended?”

Harry nodded...

Of course he remembered, and he was impressed.

While the two were discussing the Phoenix, Kyle was also brought to the auditorium by Dumbledore.

As soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to walk towards the Hufflepuff table.

Snape's face was uglier than Hagrid's rag on the way, and he felt uncomfortable being stared at.

The banquet had already started when Kyle arrived, but after seeing him, everyone stopped what they were doing, and then suddenly it became lively again.

It was just mixed in with some humming whispers.

But Kyle didn't care about this and went straight to the Hufflepuff table.

Cedric held a seat for him.

As soon as Kyle sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Did you, like Potter, drive here in that flying car?"

"What kind of flying car?" Kyle said absently: "If possible, I really hope it is."

"That's no joke." Kangna frowned and said, "The car hit the whomping willow outside the castle. It is said that they were almost flattened."

There have never been secrets in Hogwarts, but just by being divided into different houses, everyone knew about Harry and Ron's deeds.

"It's the same..." Kyle muttered softly, "Whether it's the Whomping Willow or being used as a Bludger... it's the same."

"What Bludger..." Cedric scratched his hair, not understanding what Kyle meant.

"Since you weren't in that car...how did you get here? Fred and George said you weren't home the first day of school."

"It's Fawkes." Kyle explained: "It's Dumbledore's Phoenix. It brought me back to Hogwarts from Dorset."

Then, Kyle briefly talked about what he encountered at Newt's place, which made the people around him stunned.

Good guy, the phoenix suddenly visited, the poison leopard gave birth, and the phoenix disapparated back to school... Kyle's experience in the past two days was simply more exciting than they had in the past two years.

"Phoenix..." Cedric sighed: "That must be great..."

Mikel and Ryan beside him nodded in agreement. They also wanted to get close to the legendary magical creature.

"Believe me, you will never like that feeling." Kyle waved his hand and said seriously.

He was still uncomfortable. Facing a table of delicious food, he had no appetite. He just ate some pie and asked for a double lemonade.

However, the lemonade made by the elves was sour enough, but not bitter... the effect was slightly worse.

Seeing him like this, Cedric did not mention the phoenix again, but took out a piece of parchment and said:

"We have received the letter you sent during the holiday. This is a new map we made on the train according to the method you gave."

There was some excitement in his voice, "It is much more troublesome than directly copying last year, but it is very popular... Fifty freshmen have already asked us to book.

However, those custom maps with higher prices need you to make them. After all, we have no experience in this area."

"How much do you need?" Kyle asked.

"Twenty-five." Cedric said with a smile, "This year, many more people bought this kind of map, and they all chose us."

Another batch of new Galleons came into the account, and Kyle's mood finally improved a little.

He turned his head to look at the guest of honor seat and found that Professor McGonagall had returned and was talking to Gilderoy Lockhart, who was dressed in fancy clothes.

But her expression was very serious, and her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't seem very happy.
