Chapter 340 A Transaction Between Adults

Chris took a week off, but the next day he found he had nothing to do.

The entry requirements for Apparition are not too difficult, and coupled with Kyle's unexpected learning speed, he has already taught all the content that needs to be taught in just one afternoon.

There is no need to say the rest that has not been said...

And after Kyle gradually adapted to the discomfort caused by Apparition, Chris found that he could not even keep his identity as the only "therapist".

Kyle didn't separate once for two whole days. Correspondingly, the white essence in his bottle was not missing at all.

If this continues, won't these three galleons be wasted?

In the spirit of thrift and no waste, on the third day, Chris made it more difficult for Kyle. Not only did he set the target location farther away, but he also shortened the interval between each apparation.

Sometimes before Kyle could even take a breath, he had to perform a new disapparation.

And he couldn't refute the reasons Chris gave.

"Apparition is a magic spell that requires a lot of practice, especially high-frequency repetitive practice, which will definitely make you twice the result with half the effort!"

Kyle felt that what Chris said was wrong, but it seemed to make sense...

There is no other way, he can only disappear and reappear again and again... and the frequency is getting faster and faster.

The hillside of Saint Cachipol Village seemed to be setting off firecrackers, crackling and popping.

Wait until the fifth day...

On a small hill in the north, Luna was watering the hydrangeas outside the house, and from time to time she would suddenly get into the flowers...

"What are you looking for?" asked Mr. Lovegood.

"Jumping flies!" Luna said, "I just saw them, right on the petals."

"Oh, then you have to look more carefully..."

"Snapped!"

Before Mr. Lovegood finished speaking, a burst of firecracker-like explosions broke the warm scene of the father and daughter.

Just suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

This was nothing, after all, this was not Kyle's first time here.

But what was horrifying was that Kyle in front of him was missing half of his arm, looked tired, and his clothes were in tatters.

"Someone is after this kid..." Mr. Lovegood thought subconsciously.

In broad daylight, in the village of St. Catchpore, chasing and killing a student who has not yet graduated... How arrogant!

This is not twelve years ago!

But before he could draw his wand...

"Snapped!"

There was another bang and here came Chris.

He skillfully pressed half of his arm on Kyle's wound, and then quickly applied a circle of white essence on it.

"Chris, what are you..." Mr. Lovegood asked confused.

"Oh, Xenophilius, why are you at home..." Chris hesitated: "No, I mean, didn't you take Luna to Northumberland?"

"The curved-horned snorkel there has left." Luna said, raising her head.

"Yes, we just came back an hour ago."

Mr. Lovegood nodded, and then asked thoughtfully: "Are you... teaching Kyle to apparate?

I remember he is only fourteen years old this year..."

After the initial shock, he has now basically come to his senses.

The familiar explosion sound just now, as well as the arm that was broken and reattached, clearly showed a split state.

This can only be Apparition.

"Actually, we just...just...well, okay, that's true. Can you keep it a secret for us, Xenophilius..."

Chris sighed and whispered: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't prepared a gift for the Romanian Ministry of Magic. What do you think of an unconventional magazine?

"For example..."Daily Prophet"?"

"No, that one is too formal." Chris shook his head, "I think 'The Quibbler' is good."

"Ahem..." Mr. Lovegood suddenly cleared his throat and turned his head to the side, "Luna, I think there must be a group of fairies and elves hidden in our garden. They all made me hallucinate."

Luna blinked, "Dad, fairies and elves don't cause hallucinations."

"Perhaps something has changed in one of them..."

While they were talking, Chris took Kyle and quickly left the hill.

Since he had been practicing for five hours, and because he had just been discovered, Chris simply ended today's special training.

It was getting dark.

After returning home, Kyle moved his newly reattached arm and asked, "Is it really okay to bring "The Quibbler" as a gift to people in Romania?"

What can I say about this magazine? The content in it is really... well, let's just say it's ahead of its time.

Because they can't understand it, people tend to think it's a rubbish magazine that talks nonsense... Most of its audience is also concentrated in the Psychiatric, Magical and Injury Department of St. Mungo's.

Using this magazine as a gift...doesn't the Romanian Ministry of Magic really think this is a provocation?

"Well, it doesn't matter." Chris waved his hand and said, "Most of them can't understand it anyway, and some of the opinions in that magazine should be quite interesting to people from other countries."

By the sixth day, Kyle's arm was completely fine, but his practice of apparation was also forced to end.

The main reason was that Diana came back and happened to witness the whole process of their training.

Diana excused herself to go to Diagon Alley to buy some things, and left with Chris' arm in hand with a smile on her face.

And then... nothing happened.

Anyway, she came back alone in the end, and told Kyle that Chris decided to stay in the Ministry for a few days because of his busy work, and would not go home for dinner recently.

As for why Chris asked for leave and went back to the Ministry... Kyle looked at Diana who was still angry and did not dare to ask.

...

July ended quickly.

On his birthday, Kyle received a lot of gifts, among which Fred and George gave him something similar to a glass spinning top.

There were also two notes below.

"Happy birthday, Kyle.

This is a pocket peephole. If there are suspicious people around, it will rotate and light up. We have tested it and it works very well."

"The only drawback is that it is not very effective. Yesterday, a beetle crawled into Bill's soup, and it kept lighting up... Obviously, the beetle crawled into the soup by itself.

Oh, by the way, Percy became the Head Boy. We are all happy for him and are going to give him a new badge."

Kyle curled his lips. He didn't believe a word of what the Weasley brothers said.

How stupid must the beetle be to crawl into the soup by itself? The two of them definitely helped 98%... And Percy's Head Boy badge is probably going to be in trouble.

Kyle put the pocket peephole aside and picked up Hagrid's gift again.

As expected, it was a book.

"Monster Book of Monsters"

Kyle had just taken it out when the book suddenly stood up, like some kind of weird crab, crawling sideways on the floor quickly.

This is also the most special thing about this book, because of some special magic, it looks like it's alive.

But the solution is also very simple, touch the spine of the book, or...

"Relax and release!"

A spell cast by Kyle.

The monster book immediately stopped moving, lying softly on the floor, like a cushion of very bad taste.

Kyle walked over, wrapped a rope around the spine of the book, and then picked up Hagrid's card.

"Dear Kyle:

Happy birthday!

You will use this book next semester. I won't say much here. We'll talk about it when we meet. You will never guess what happened. I still feel like I'm dreaming.

I wish you all the best.

Hagrid"

Kyle raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hagrid, who didn't speak, was really tight-lipped.

He gave him a book and said he would use it next semester. Apparently, after Professor Kettleburn retired, Hagrid took over his class and was about to become the new professor of Care of Magical Creatures.

Hagrid was cleared of his grievances last semester, and he was finally able to do work other than gamekeeper.

From this letter, it can be seen that Hagrid was really happy.

Kyle was also happy for him.

After thinking for a moment, Kyle found a piece of parchment and wrote him a reply.

"Dear Hagrid:

Thank you for your gift, I like it very much, I can't wait for school to start, but it's a pity that there is still a month.

I can only follow Mr. Scamander to the dragon sanctuary in Romania for a while... There is a big event happening there recently, and the dragons will fight each other until the strongest dragon is selected to become their new leader.

Kyle.

PS: I heard there are dozens of dragons there."
