Chapter 532 Listen, Is This Human Language?

"Animagus... no wonder she can write so many exclusive articles."

On the way back, Kangna couldn't help but said: "After all, beetles are so common, and they won't arouse others' suspicion. She must have eavesdropped on many people's secrets with this."

"That's for sure." Kyle nodded.

Rita Skeeter acted so nervous just now, probably because she knew too much...

In other words, if the news that she can turn into a beetle spreads, many people who have done bad things will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Such as the names she just mentioned.

Ludo Bagmankel could guess that it was probably related to Jin Gallon.

During the Quidditch World Cup, Mr. Weasley placed a galleon bet on Ireland to win. As a result, he has not paid the prize money to this day.

But Mr. Weasley didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't ask Bagman for it. According to him, he just paid for the ticket.

But as for the other two names she mentioned...the story between Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, Kyle didn't know.

Think about it carefully, a Minister of Magic and a Senior Deputy Minister, the secrets between them must be very explosive.

To be honest, Kyle is quite curious. If he has the chance, he can make some insinuations and learn a lot.

Of course, the premise is that Hagrid’s matter needs to be resolved first…

"By the way, Kyle, how did you know that Rita Skeeter was the beetle..." Connor asked curiously when they came to the kitchen corridor.

"It's very simple..." Kyle pointed to his robe, "Because I often come into contact with Norbert, the smell of fire dragons will inevitably remain on my clothes, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible for those insects to stop on me. of...unless it's an animagus.

"Also, if you look closely, you will find that the patterns on that beetle are very similar to Rita Skeeter's hairstyle."

"I know this." Connor said, "Professor McGonagall mentioned that the animals transformed by Animagus will always retain some of the characteristics of wizards, just like the cat she transformed into, there are frames around the eyes. Texture.”

"That's it." Kyle nodded, "But generally, few people will notice this. The smaller the animal, the more so. And even if they notice it, it will be difficult to contact the corresponding person..."

When they returned to the Hufflepuff common room, there were already many people there. Everyone was sitting on soft armchairs, chatting and playing wizard chess. The common room was noisy.

Kyle has never experienced such a lively Christmas holiday, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Where were you just now?" Cedric came over. "I was just discussing with Qiu what we should do to get Hagrid back on his feet. Do you have any ideas?"

"Maybe it's not necessary." Kyle and Kang Na looked at each other, smiled and explained to him what had just happened.

Cedric also acted surprised after hearing that Rita Skeeter was an animagus.

"I see. Fortunately you found her." Cedric said, and then he frowned slightly, "But the question is, are you sure that Rita Skeeter will put a good word for Hagrid in the newspaper?"

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but when he said this, Cedric looked around subconsciously, as if to determine if there were any bugs here.

"I believe she will." Kyle shook the camera in his hand.

After all, he had already hinted that only if he was in a good mood would he help hide the photo that recorded the entire process of her transformation.

Whether his mood is good or bad will all depend on the report about Hagrid in the next issue of the Daily Prophet.

Kyle believed that Rita Skeeter was a smart person and would understand what he meant. Otherwise, she would not have been able to act like a normal person for so long after reporting so many infuriating reports.

"Great, you are all here." At this time, Fleur and her sister Gabrielle also came over.

After getting Professor Sprout's permission to move here, Fleur suddenly found that this place was even better than she imagined.

She moved here just because of Kangna at first, but unexpectedly she made many new friends here...sincere friends.

Later, Gabrielle also came, and gradually, unless necessary, they rarely returned to Beauxbatons' carriage.

It was the same this time. Just after Christmas, they couldn't wait to come back.

"Kyle, how are you doing with your research on those stones?" Fleur sat on a chair and asked, "The second project is about to begin. Have you found the secrets in the stones?"

Hearing this, Cedric and Qiu also looked over.

"No." Kyle shrugged, "Believe it or not, I haven't touched those rocks since the end of the first project. They are probably still thrown in a corner now. "

"What did you say?" Fleur was a little surprised.

If it were anyone else, such as Klum, she would definitely not believe this statement and would just think that the other party did not want to reveal the information.

But Kyle...to be honest, she didn't seem to have seen Kyle take out the stone. In his free time, he usually played wizard chess with Cedric or his two roommates.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Kyle said, "It's still two months before the second project starts. Do we need to be in such a hurry?"

"It was Ms. Maxime." Fleur hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to hide it. She said openly: "She told me that you may have known the clues of the stone, and said that you left school with a professor to prepare for the competition."

"She should be talking about Professor Black." Kyle thought for a while and explained: "We left school because we had some private matters to attend to, which had nothing to do with the competition."

"I believe it." Fleur said, "It's just that Ms. Maxime insisted that I ask, so I came.

"But Kyle, are you really not going to study those stones? Now we have time, we can do it together."

"Yes, we can help." Connor said beside him, and Cedric nodded immediately.

"Ah, I can't, you guys study it." Kyle said, "I think it's better to increase the difficulty appropriately, otherwise if the competition is too simple, it will be meaningless... Cedric, do you want to play a game of wizard chess? "

As soon as the voice fell, the whole common room suddenly became quiet.

The people who were chatting stopped talking, the people who were playing chess held the chess pieces and forgot to put them on the chessboard, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Kyle with an unbelievable look.

Especially Furong.

She rubbed her ears, as if she didn't hear clearly, and asked word by word: "You said... the game is simple?"

"Yeah." Kyle, who was placing the chess pieces, said casually: "It's quite simple, don't you think?"

"I'm sorry, I don't think so. "Fleur said through gritted teeth.

It's hard to describe her expression right now... In short, it's very ugly. If half-blooded veela could also transform, she might grow a pointed beak and feathers in the next second.

She was almost driven crazy by the bludgers in the second level. In the end, she had to drain all her magic power and smash most of the bludgers to barely pass the level.

Not to mention the fire dragon in the third level... The Hungarian tree peak whipped her tail, breaking her arm on the spot, and her carefully maintained hair was burned by the dragon flames by nearly a third.

If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have died. He was the first warrior who didn't finish the game.

What about Kyle... This dangerous game is easy?

Is this human language?

Furong panted heavily, and finally suppressed the urge to curse. Then she stood up without saying a word and turned away.

Although she knew that Kyle passed the level easily and almost got full marks, it was a bit too irritating to say that the game was easy so directly...

Furong secretly swore in her heart that if she came to Kyle to discuss the stone again, she would be a leprechaun, and the ugliest one.

...

"What's wrong with her?" Looking at the back of Furong as she left, Kyle asked in confusion.

"Well... I think..." Cedric stammered, "Sometimes you can say it a little more tactfully. After all, she took a lot of effort to pass those three levels."

"Oh... Sorry, I forgot." Kyle patted his forehead, "Do you think it's too late for me to apologize now?"

"I think it's better not to go. "Cedric smacked his lips, "She probably won't listen to anything you say, and she might even beat you up."

"That's true." Kyle scratched his hair.

...
