Chapter 509 Professor Lockneil
It was a gift from Sirius, could it be... Kyle seemed to have thought of something and immediately opened the package.
Sure enough, just as he guessed, there was a beautifully crafted broom inside.
Firebolt.
On the day Sirius was acquitted, he wanted to buy it and give it to Kyle, but Kyle refused at the time because there was no Quidditch match this year.
Unexpectedly, he bought it a few months later.
"Firebolt, who gave this to you as a warrior gift?" Cedric shouted excitedly: "We also have a Firebolt. Now...oh, no, there will be no Quidditch match this year."
Cedric seemed a little lost, but quickly regained his composure.
No matter what, it was always good to have a Firebolt. They could use it again next year. Then he would like to see if Gryffindor...especially Fred and George could continue to be arrogant. .
Mikel was also very excited. He looked at the Firebolt carefully, as if he was admiring a rare treasure.
"What a pity..." he murmured quietly: "It would be nice if we could bring brooms to the Triwizard Tournament."
…
Soon, everyone knew that Kyle had received a Firebolt.
But because they were all thinking about tomorrow's Triwizard Tournament, and Harry also received a Firebolt last year, the novelty had worn off, so this incident did not cause much of a sensation.
Kyle took another look at the note written by Sirius and didn't say anything. He just put the Firebolt back in the dormitory and went to class.
However, what he didn't expect was that today's surprise was not just a Firebolt.
The last class in the morning was the Care of Magical Creatures class. Hagrid got a large group of fire crabs from nowhere. These creatures carrying gems on their backs quickly attracted everyone's interest.
While everyone was busy feeding lettuce to the fire crabs, Hagrid quietly came to Kyle's side.
He leaned down and pretended to observe the lettuce leaves on the ground, and said in a very low voice: "Come to my hut at midnight today to find me. Remember not to be discovered by others."
Then Hagrid straightened up and said loudly: "Very good, Kyle, you have completely mastered the technique of feeding fire crabs." He winked and left.
"Why did Hagrid ask you to find him?" Connor asked.
"You probably want to show me something." Kyle said, "We can come together at night...if you don't want to sleep."
"But is that okay?" said Connor. "What if someone finds out."
"Don't worry." Kyle said with a smile: "At this time, the invisibility cloak will come in handy. I know the Disguise Charm, and I can hide myself well without that thing."
Kangna's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
So that afternoon, Kyle handed the invisibility cloak to Connor. At midnight, Kyle used the Disillusionment Spell to quietly leave the dormitory, then passed through the wooden barrel door of the common room and came to the corridor outside.
He waited outside for a while. After about a few minutes, the barrel door next to him was opened a small crack again.
"Kanna?" Kyle whispered tentatively.
"it's me."
Suddenly a head appeared in mid-air. Kangna said nervously: "How about it, you weren't discovered."
"No." Kyle said, "They made up for homework until early in the morning yesterday, and went to bed at 11 o'clock today."
"Me too."
Afterwards, Connor put on the invisibility cloak again, and the two walked through the castle as planned.
It was dark outside and they walked down the field towards the light coming from Hagrid's hut.
However, they were not the only ones who would come here tonight. The door of the cabin was ajar, and Kyle could clearly hear the laughter and conversations coming from far away.
"Oops, someone is here." Kangna said nervously, "What should we do?"
"Let's wait and see." Kyle said, and the two took a few steps forward.
At this time, Yaya's roar suddenly came from the hut.
The talking stopped and Hagrid walked out.
Then another person came out, and he asked doubtfully: "Is anyone here?"
"No, there isn't." Hagrid looked around and said in a deliberately loud voice: "I think it should be the cat nives. Yaya likes to play with the cats in the Forbidden Forest."
"Mao Lizi, oh, it's so interesting here. I like the Forbidden Forest." The man raised his head and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.
"I have to go Hagrid, nice to meet you, see you tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, Locknir." Hagrid stopped him, "I'll take you to see something good, you've never seen it before."
"What?"
"You will know in a moment." Hagrid said mysteriously, "But we still have to call Ms. Maxim, I promised her."
The two of them walked towards Beauxbatons' carriage. Along the way, Hagrid kept looking back frequently, as if to confirm something.
It wasn't until he felt his arm being hit by a stone that he felt relieved and sped up to the carriage.
Not far behind the two of them, Kyle threw the remaining stones in his hand back to the ground and explained to Connor: "That person is Professor Locknear of Beauxbatons. We have met before."
Kyle was talking about the time he went to the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary. Locknir, like Newt, was an expert invited by the Sanctuary.
At that time, Kyle also made a lot of money from him using those badly damaged fire dragon scales.
"Are there other professors from Beauxbatons?" Connor asked in confusion, "I thought only Madam Maxime was here."
"He should have just arrived," Kyle said, "After all, if he had been here from the beginning, he would have shown up in the auditorium, but none of us had seen him before today."
As he spoke, Madam Maxime also came out. Just as Locknir was about to step forward, Hagrid had already extended a hand and helped her down the golden steps.
Then the three of them walked around the paddock where the Rune Horse was and walked into the Forbidden Forest.
Kyle and Connor followed them not far behind, and occasionally they could hear their conversation.
"Hagrid, Lockneil, where are you taking me?"
"I don't know, Headmaster." Lockneil said, "I was just about to go back to bed... To be honest, it's much colder here than Beauxbatons."
"If you go back now, you will definitely regret it." Hagrid said in a hoarse voice, with an undisguised excitement, "You will like it, it's worth seeing, believe me, but... remember to keep it secret, don't tell anyone, okay? You shouldn't know."
"Of course not." Ms. Maxime said.
"That's right."
The three continued to walk forward. After about half an hour, they had walked a long way around the Forbidden Forest. Looking back, neither Hagrid's hut nor the castle were gone.
Then they walked for another ten minutes.
"Did you hear any movement?"
Several men shouted loudly in front, and Connor tilted her head to try to hear what they said clearly.
Then there was a deafening and sharp roar.
The three people in front immediately quickened their pace.
Kyle and Connor followed them at a trot, and stopped only after they passed through a bush in front of them.
There was an open space in front of them, and Connor couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Oh my God!"
Fortunately, there were shouts everywhere, and no one noticed that there were two people hiding here.
Connor quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "That's a fire dragon!"
Kyle nodded, he had seen it.
Two fierce-looking adult fire dragons were locked in an enclosure made of thick wooden boards, roaring and snorting.
And there were not only fire dragons, but also a dozen strong dragon keepers, who desperately pulled the chains on the fire dragons, trying to subdue them.
"Could it be that the first event of the Triwizard Tournament is to deal with these fire dragons?" Connor said with some concern.
"To be honest, I don't know." Kyle frowned.
Although he had guessed before that Hagrid was going to take them to see the fire dragons, he couldn't figure out... why there were only two fire dragons here.
Yes, there are only two dragons in front of us... a Swedish short-nosed dragon and a Hungarian tree-peak, and there are no extra dragon eggs.
But there are three warriors in the Triwizard Tournament, how to divide the two dragons?
