Chapter 768 Peacock Cedric
Before the Hogwarts Express departed, Connor and Fleur left the school in the Thestrals.
The Thestrals flew higher and higher, Connor leaned out of the carriage and waved to Kyle. When passing a tower, she saw Snape standing there.
But in just a blink of an eye, the other party disappeared again, as if he had never appeared.
"What's wrong?" Fleur found that Connor had been staring at the castle, and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing." Connor shook her head, wondering if she had seen it wrong just now.
The Thestrals were very fast. Less than a minute later, the carriage turned into a blurry black dot and disappeared.
On the field, Kyle put down his hand, turned around and asked, "How are you going to go back? Take the train? It should be in time to go there now."
"Although it's nice to relive the feeling of school, I still choose to Apparate." Bill shrugged and said, "The train is really too slow. Since graduation, I really can't stand wasting half a day to rush."
"I'll wait for you at Grimmauld Place." He patted Kyle with a smile, "To celebrate your graduation, Mom prepared a very sumptuous dinner. I can't wait."
After that, he strode out of the school gate.
Kyle was in hesitation.
To be honest, he also wanted to Apparate back directly, which was convenient and simple, but when he thought that he didn't have to go to school next year, Kyle felt that there was no need to rush...
Forget it, just relax.
After struggling for a moment, Kyle still walked towards Hogsmeade Station and boarded the train in time at 8:59.
A minute later, all the doors of the carriages were closed, and with a loud whistle, the train slowly drove out of the station.
Because they arrived late, the carriages were basically full of people.
Qiu sat with several Ravenclaw girls and exchanged some small items with each other.
Kyle didn't bother her, and went straight to the spacious prefect's carriage, found a seat by the window and sat down, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.
Because there were not many familiar people, the whole journey seemed very boring. It was not until noon that Kyle heard a familiar noise.
"Ron, you should know that the prefect's duties also include maintaining order in the carriage, but how did you do it? You actually let those junior students run around in the carriage."
"I didn't let them, they were just chasing the dining car, you were too strict."
The familiar trio walked into the prefect's box, and Harry remained silent beside him.
He was a Quidditch captain who enjoyed the treatment of a prefect, but he didn't have the rights of a prefect. Even if he wanted to manage it, no one would listen to him.
But if you think about it from another angle, it's quite comfortable, and you don't have to waste time fighting with those troublesome students.
"Oh, Kyle, you're here too."
As soon as he came in, Harry noticed Kyle sitting by the window, so the three of them sat down naturally.
"What are you doing here." Harry said, "There are a lot of people looking for you outside."
"Looking for me?" Kyle asked in confusion.
"Well, they are all seventh-year students. I guess they want to exchange some souvenirs with you."
"Fortunately I didn't go out." Kyle said half-jokingly, "I don't have so many things to give to others."
Harry laughed twice, and he could probably guess that Kyle was here to hide away.
Just like when he first entered school, he was also so popular, but he didn't like this feeling. Most of the time he would rather be alone... or with Hermione and Ron.
"Where's Connor?" Hermione looked around.
"She had other things to do and didn't take this train." Kyle said.
He did not reveal the fact that Connor went to France, not because he did not trust Hermione. If there was anyone who would not join Voldemort, Hermione, who had a close relationship with Harry, was definitely one of them. She had even been to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
Mainly, there was no need for this. Besides, they did not really care about Connor's whereabouts. They were just curious and asked casually.
Sure enough, after hearing what Kyle said, Hermione nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The three chatted for a while. Most of the time, Hermione accused Ron of not fulfilling his duties as a prefect, and Harry acted as a transparent person next to him.
As if he felt a little embarrassed, he got up and left for a while. When he came back, he had a lot of snacks in his hands.
Harry piled them on the table.
"We just bought cauldron cakes and chocolates." He looked at Kyle and said, "You can eat them too. These are all we have on the train."
Ron was already hungry, and he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chocolate frog and stuff it into his mouth.
Hermione also took some cauldron cakes.
Seeing that Kyle hadn't made any move, Hermione thought he was embarrassed, so she simply handed over the cake in her hand.
"You're welcome, just eat it."
"No, you misunderstood." Kyle shook his head, "Actually, I brought lunch."
"You brought lunch?" Harry and Ron stopped what they were doing at the same time, thinking they had heard it wrong.
If they remembered correctly, this train departed from Hogwarts, so why did Kyle bring lunch...
But the next second, the two got the answer.
Kyle opened the box and skillfully took out several bulging brown paper bags from it.
Kyle opened the paper bag, and inside was a whole roasted chicken, fried pork chops, fragrant wheat cakes, baked potatoes, and even black pepper, orange jam and other condiments, which filled up the other half of the table.
Harry instantly felt that the chocolate in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
"Did you take this... from the kitchen?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded, "After all, you just said that there is no proper lunch on the train, so I went to the kitchen before leaving.
"You should know that our Hufflepuff common room is very close to the kitchen, so it is not difficult to get these."
"Yes, yes." Harry said.
He looked at the sumptuous lunch in front of Kyle, and then at the pile of snacks in front of him, and his throat trembled uncontrollably.
"Let's eat together." Kyle said, "The elves are too enthusiastic. I clearly asked for one person, but they sent so much. One person must not be able to finish it."
"Can I?" Harry said.
"Of course. "
Kyle waved his wand, and the food that had been cold became steaming hot again.
The heating spell is a little magic invented by Kyle. It is especially useful when going to bed in winter.
"Thank you."
Harry decisively threw the chocolate in his hand back... There are fried pork chops, who wants to eat these!
"Kyle, what kind of job are you going to do after graduation?" Harry imitated Kyle, put the fried pork chop into the wheat cake, sprinkled some black pepper, and took a big bite directly after finishing.
I don't know if it's an illusion, it's obviously the same thing, but it's particularly delicious when eaten together, and the taste is unique. He couldn't help but took another bite.
"Is there any need to say this? Kyle will definitely work at the Ministry of Magic." Hermione on the side glanced at Harry, a little dissatisfied with his rude eating, but seeing Kyle doing the same thing, she didn't say anything.
"Don't forget that Kyle is a senior ministerial assistant. He must go back to the Ministry of Magic, right?"
"Well... not necessarily. "Kyle thought for a moment. "In fact, at this point, the Ministry's decision-making is basically linked to the Death Eaters, which is to capture them.
"So what the Ministry of Magic lacks most now is Aurors and strikers, not an assistant who gives advice to the Minister."
"Then will you become an Auror?" Harry said, "I also want to be an Auror. Maybe we will become colleagues next year."
"I didn't expect it either. Let's see when the time comes." Kyle shrugged, "Anyway, Fudge will definitely not let me go to the Auror's office.
"If possible, I actually want to open a store in Diagon Alley. At least there won't be so many troubles. "
It seemed that they didn't expect Kyle to say that. Harry and Hermione all showed an incredible expression, but Ron didn't feel too surprised.
Kyle had been selling maps and other things with Fred and George when he was in school. It was not surprising that he wanted to open a store after graduation.
Besides, everyone was just chatting on the train, and others soon joined the topic.
Hermione said she wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic, preferably the Law Enforcement Department.
Harry wanted to be an Auror, just like he said during the career guidance.
Ron wanted to go to the Ministry of Magic for a while, and then he wanted to be a professional Quidditch goalkeeper. He was wavering.
...
Although Kyle brought There were a lot of things, but there were also a lot of people. The four of them barely ate half full, but it was enough to have some snacks in the middle.
After lunch, Hermione forced Ron to patrol the aisle. After hesitating for a moment, Harry followed them and left to the ordinary carriage.
The train continued to run, and villages quickly retreated outside the window.
Finally, the train slowed down and entered the familiar platform 9 after turning a corner.
The students walked out of the carriage one by one, walked through the wall and came to King's Cross Station.
"Here, Qiu, I'm here..."
In the station, a disgusting idiot was jumping up and down, waving to attract someone's attention. From a distance, he looked like a peacock in heat.
"Ced!"
Qiu, who had just got off the train, naturally noticed the movement on the platform. She threw down her luggage and ran over quickly, and suddenly threw herself into the other's arms.
The two hugged each other on the platform as if no one was around.
"Bah... so shameless. "Kyle was so upset that he spat viciously after being forced to eat dog food.
"Tsk tsk, your expression is too ugly." A teasing voice came from behind.
"Good friends meet after a long time, shouldn't we offer sincere blessings?"
Fred and George appeared on Kyle's left and right.
"So where are your blessings?" Kyle said without turning his head.
"Weasley Super Magic Glue." Fred's voice rose slightly, "Our new product can even be used to stick wands."
"Just now, we took advantage of Cedric's head and looked around and smeared it on the peacock's clothes." George said, "Don't they like hugs? I don't think they will mind hugging all the time."
"What a bad behavior." Kyle said with a face full of shame, and he also noticed that Fred was quietly putting a white bottle into his pocket.
From his actions, it seems that he wanted to smear it on Kyle, but for some reason he gave up.
"Same here." Fred said calmly.
George raised his eyebrows, "Yes, everyone is the same."
The three smiled at each other.
"Congratulations." Fred patted Kyle on the shoulder, "From today on, you have finally escaped from the cage and no longer have to be troubled by homework and exams."
"You can get up at any time every day..."
"You can drink as much as you want..."
"You can go to Hogsmeade every day..."
"Do whatever you want!"
The two laughed and described to Kyle the beauty after graduation.
However, Kyle only regarded this as a cold joke. If it was really so comfortable, then what was the matter with the dark circles on their faces.
It's obvious that they haven't had a good rest for a long time, probably because of the problem of the Order of the Phoenix.
The three chatted for a while, and at this time, Cedric finally found something wrong. His and Qiu's clothes were stuck together, and they were very strong. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get rid of them.
"Damn it, Fred, George, what did you do?"
Or they are friends for many years. Cedric didn't even need evidence. He called out the culprit's name accurately.
"It's just a little trick to help you improve your relationship." Fred laughed.
George raised a thumbs up, "This is what friends should do. Don't thank us."
Cedric was almost mad. Seeing more and more eyes focusing on him, including Qiu's parents, he felt a burning sensation on his face.
"Hurry up." Cedric glared at the Weasley brothers and almost squeezed out a word from his teeth, "Get rid of it."
"Sorry." Fred blinked innocently, "New product, currently can only be pasted, not removed!"
"Do you think I will believe it?" Cedric didn't buy his words at all, "As far as I know, Weasleys' Magic Wheezes has never had a one-way semi-finished product."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir!" George laughed, "But this is not officially on sale yet, so it doesn't count... Ouch!"
Before he finished speaking, a big hand fell accurately on his ear.
Fred on the other side couldn't escape either.
"Qiu is a girl, hurry up and take out the things." Mrs. Weasley said viciously, one in each hand.
"Let go, mom... let go... we'll give it to him."
Fred jumped up and took out a blue bottle and threw it over.
After Cedric caught it, he poured the powder inside on the stuck part of the clothes, and he and Qiu separated immediately.
"Hurry up, apologize." Mrs. Weasley dragged Fred and George to Qiu's parents.
"Sorry!"
"I'm so sorry!"
"Ah, it's okay." Qiu's parents generously forgave the two.
In fact, they knew Cedric a long time ago and were very satisfied with him.
They even agreed to meet with Diggory and his wife after the threat of Voldemort and the Death Eaters was gone.
"But..." Qiu's father looked at Fred and said, "Can you sell me a bottle of that glue just now? Our windows have been loose recently, and they creak when the wind is strong."
"Of course, no problem!" Fred quickly took out the bottle of magic glue from his pocket.
"It's for you, free of charge."
"If you need anything else, you can go to Weasley's Magic Wheezes in Diagon Alley, everything is 50% off."
"This is really a good discount." Qiu's mother said with a smile.
Then they took Qiu away.
Mrs. Weasley was still scolding Fred and George.
At this time, Hermione, Harry and Ron finally came out of the wall.
She immediately left the twins behind and went forward to hug them one by one.
Kyle also noticed that when Harry appeared, several passers-by who were originally doing nothing immediately became nervous, and their hands unconsciously reached into their pockets.
Looking at Mr. Weasley's calm face, they should be from the Ministry of Magic.
"Okay, hurry up and catch up." Mrs. Weasley led a few people to the outside of the station, "It's not safe outside now, we'd better go back quickly."
"Where's Sirius." Harry looked around, but did not see the person he wanted to see the most.
"He's waiting for you outside." Mr. Weasley said, "Remember? The Ministry of Magic has issued a wanted order for Sirius among Muggles before, and there are many people in the station. In order not to cause any trouble, it's better for him to stay outside."
Harry was relieved to hear Mr. Weasley say this.
Fortunately, it was just this reason.
