Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 393 A person’s return journey

Hagrid’s voice was loud, and Kyle noticed that Professor McGonagall glanced around nervously, as if he didn’t want other students to hear what happened more than ten years ago.

 Especially where they were, Professor McGonagall paused for the longest time.

Kyle immediately pretended to be nonchalant and ate the barbecue pie.

 “Hagrid, please! Lower your voice,” said Professor McGonagall.

 But her reminder did not have much effect.

Even if Hagrid deliberately lowered his voice, he could still hear it clearly.

"He also asked me to hand Harry over to him, that scumbag... Fortunately, I refused, because I had Dumbledore's order and had to take Harry to his aunt and uncle's house..."

 “Hagrid!”

 Professor McGonagall glanced this way again, with a hint of irritation in her voice.

 “Kyle, let’s go find Autumn and Cedric.”

At this time, Kangna suddenly said, "They should have finished talking, and I also want to go to Mrs. Puddifu's Teahouse to buy something."

“It seems we want to get together.” Kyle stood up and was about to take out the money when Kangna had already placed two Galleons on the table.

"you…"

Kyle was about to say something, but was pulled out of the bar by Kangna without any explanation.

 Only when we were on the road, Kangna said with a smile: "You invited me to drink coffee before, but this time I will treat you."

"No…"

Kyle thought about it for a while and said: "Actually, what I mean is that I gave you too much money. Those things are one galleons and five siekos. Why did you give me two galleons?"

"Huh?" Kang Na was a little dazed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

 “You have to give me a chance too.” Kyle spread his hands.

Just when Kang Na was hesitating whether to go back again, Cedric and Qiu happened to run over from not far away.

 “Hey, where did you go just now?”

 After seeing Kyle and Kangna, Qiu immediately asked dissatisfiedly.

They were just talking about whether they wanted to explore the Shrieking Shack, but when they turned around, they found that there were only two cups of undrinkable coffee left on the table, but the two people who came with them were missing.

“I went to almost all the stores, but I couldn’t find you,” Cedric said.

"Here we are, the Three Broomsticks," Kyle said. "I guess you haven't been here."

Cedric was stunned for a moment, he had never been here before.

 “But didn’t you just drink coffee?”

"It's too sweet." Kyle shrugged, "Butterbeer is more to our liking."

Cedric pursed his lips, as if that was indeed the case... It was strange that he didn't notice that the coffee was so sweet just now.

Being interrupted like this, Kangna was too embarrassed to ask for the remaining change, and followed them forward with a distressed look on her face.

 Several people later found Fred and George in Zuko and went to the Shrieking Shack together.

 Going there for adventure was planned a long time ago.

 But when they actually arrived, they found that this place was not as interesting as the legend said.

When they opened the big lock on the door, they discovered that it was just a room that had not been occupied for a long time.

The wallpaper was peeling off, a thick layer of dust fell on the ground, and the furniture was all broken, as if someone had smashed it.

“Legends are indeed unreliable.”

Fred kicked away a broken stool in disappointment, "Those residents must have wanted to attract more tourists, so they made up the legend of howling here at night."

"In my opinion, this is just an empty room that no one has lived in for a long time." George reached out and touched the table. "Look at the ashes. It's obvious that no one has been here for many years."

 “Could it be a ghost?” Qiu asked.

"Hogwarts is the place with the most ghosts. Have you ever seen them howl?" Fred said, "And ghosts can't damage these homes."

 He picked up a broken stool leg from the ground and knocked it twice on the ground.

“I guess someone must be deliberately causing damage here to make those strange noises.”

They had been looking forward to it for several days, but they didn't expect it to be so disappointing in the end. The mediocre Screaming Shack also made them lose the intention to continue shopping.

 After leaving here, they returned directly to the castle.

Kyle walked at the back and hung the lock on the door again.

 It was still very early and the castle was quiet.

Filch stood in the hall, staring at them... to be precise, at Fred and George.

 When they came out of Zuko, their pockets were bulging, and they obviously contained a lot of good things.

Filch came over.

 “Wait a minute, I want to check...”

Before he could finish speaking, Fred and George suddenly sped up, darted past and disappeared into the hall.

“Stop!” Filch shouted angrily, “Stop!”

With Filch's roar, the quiet castle immediately became lively.

 …

 When it was time to have dinner, everyone got together and started discussing vacation plans.

"What did you say?!" Cedric looked at Kyle and said in disbelief: "You won't be spending Christmas at Hogwarts this year?"

 In the past three years, Kyle had always stayed in school for Christmas, and Cedric originally thought it would be the same this year.

To this end, he wrote a letter to his father for a month, and wrote his name on the list of students staying in school two days ago.

 Originally, he wanted to give Kyle a surprise, but unexpectedly, this guy actually came home this year!

 It was intentional!

"Yeah." Kyle naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I can't spend Christmas here forever."

"I…"

Cedric was about to speak when Qiu sneaked over beside him and suddenly said,

 “What a pity, I thought I would have someone to keep me company.”

 “You’re not going back this year?” Kyle asked.

"Yes." Qiu nodded, "My father wrote to me two days ago and said that they would be going out for a while during Christmas, so I would have to stay at school."

"That's right." Kyle nodded, then looked at Cedric, "What did you want to say just now?"

 “Oh, nothing.”

 Cedric calmly took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Besides, I also chose to stay in school this year and can't go back with you."

"You are also staying in school?" Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Digory agreed? Or was it your decision just now?"

“I signed the stay list two days ago,” Cedric said.

“Me too.” Kangna smiled and said to Qiu, “We can go to the library to do homework together during the holidays.”

Kyle suddenly discovered that the situation during the holidays this year seemed to be completely reversed. Except for himself, everyone else seemed to have chosen to stay in school, including Fred and George.

They are working on a new quick-acting candy that will easily be discovered by Mrs. Weasley if they go home.
