Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 813 Reunion after a long absence

As the country where Beauxbatons is located, the three major magic schools in Europe, and the hometown of the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, France is also very famous in the magic world.

Although its popularity and reputation are not as loud as those in the UK, there is only one thing... The French Minister of Magic can proudly say at the diplomatic conference that their country has not had a notorious dark wizard in recent centuries. Its reputation is countless times better than that of the UK.

 Seventy years ago, Grindelwald suddenly came here and held a mobilization meeting, which broke the centuries-old peace in France.

 But it was only that one time. After Grindelwald, there has always been peace here, which also made French wizards seem more leisurely than the British.

 Paris, in the middle of Furstenberg Square, is a building with a special shape. From the outside, it looks like an arrow pointing to the left, that is, a vertical triangle.

 Its unique shape has attracted the attention of many people, and it is considered a nearby attraction. However, most people don't know that this building is even more famous in the wizarding world.

 Because this is the famous French Ministry of Magic, and it is also the destination of Kyle's trip.

Although the drunk Muggle did not answer Kyle's words, the answer actually appeared in his mind when he heard the question.

So Kyle didn’t need to answer. Maobao could see clearly, including the specific location here and the city’s route map.

 Luckily, the place where Kyle was at that time was not far from Furstenberg Square, only a few streets away, and it only took half an hour to walk there.

 At eight o'clock, Kyle looked at the huge glass door in front of him, straightened his clothes and walked over calmly.

 He didn't pay attention to the security guard or the open door, but came to a fountain in front of the building.

There are two statues here. Kyle thought for a while and chose the Pegasus statue on the left. When he walked over, the wings of the Pegasus lifted up, revealing a passage.

 As soon as you step in, you will see another scene in front of you.

The bustling streets and high-rise buildings disappeared and turned into strange-shaped buildings. The clothes of passers-by also changed from suits, long skirts, fashionable shirts, to the unique robes of wizards.

ˆ French “Diagon Alley”.

Of course, this place is definitely not called Diagon Alley, but the meaning is the same. They are all shopping streets that only wizards can enter.

“Fortunately, I made the right choice.” Kyle breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered Fleur saying that there were two entrances open here, one of which was here, and the other led to the Ministry of Magic. If he accidentally went to the wrong place, he might have to explain to the Aurors why he was there. Appeared here.

 Fortunately, his memory is not bad.

Kyle continued to walk forward, looking curiously at the shops on the French side.

To the left of the entrance is a large candy store, at least five times larger than Honeydukes. It is filled with all kinds of candies, all in styles Kyle has never seen before, of which chocolate accounts for more than half.

 It should be because Beauxbatons has also started school and there are not many people in the store.

Opposite the candy store... it should be a stationery store. Although Kyle couldn't understand the French signs written in special cursive characters, he knew the quills and parchment and didn't need to recognize the signs.

Further ahead are the broomstick shop, pet shop, bookstore, souvenir shop, junk shop, and the most conspicuous Gringotts Wizarding Bank built of white marble in the middle of the street.

 The types of shops here are similar to those in Diagon Alley, but the styles are completely different.

Diagon Alley continues the traditional style that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Those buildings were all left over from the last century...or even earlier. They will not look out of place no matter what era they are placed in.

 The French side is obviously much newer. Many buildings can be seen at a glance as being the product of recent years.

There is even a security door on the door of the Broomstick Shop...it's the kind of metal security door.

Kyle found it hard to believe that this thing could withstand the lock-picking spell.

 He continued walking forward, passing Gringotts and a noisy bar, and stopped almost at the end of the street.

 “Prince’s Potion Shop.”

Kyle glanced at the decent French signboard and nodded, "This should be the right place."

But what Kyle didn't understand was that all the surrounding shops were open for business, but the door here was closed, and there weren't even any products on display in the window.

Is it possible that Kangna is not here?

Kyle was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the sign again.

Prince...that's right, there can't be a Prince in France.

With the intention of giving it a try, he walked up and knocked on the door.

 There was no response inside.

 He knocked a few more times, with the same result.

 “No way, really not here?”

Kyle was a little confused. Both the address and the name of the store given by Fleur matched, so how could there be no one there?

Or is it that Kangna didn’t open a store in France when she came to France, but went to other places?

Just when Kyle was hesitating whether to give Fleur this letter or not, there was finally movement in the store.

 “Sorry, we’re closed today.”

The moment he heard the sound, Kyle felt relieved.

Although she spoke French, Kyle still recognized that it was Connor who spoke.

“Ministry of Magic inspection, please open the door and cooperate.” Kyle cleared his throat and said.

There was a rush of footsteps in the store, but soon there was no movement again.

Until a few minutes later, with a creak, the door was opened.

 Kanna seemed to have just woken up, and her hair could be seen to have been arranged hastily, but her face was full of surprise.

 “Kyle!” There was a bit of disbelief in her voice, but her whole body had already subconsciously pounced on him.

Kyle hurriedly opened his arms to catch her, and when they reunited after a long absence, the two hugged each other at the door of the store.

At this moment, neither of them cared about the eyes of passers-by, they just hugged each other, and no one wanted to let go. Then Kyle felt that his mouth touched a piece of sweet cream pudding.

 I don’t know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe an hour, or more.

"Hey, it's almost done." Another person's voice came from the store, "Although I can understand your mood, can you come into the house first so that you don't feel tired from standing all the time?"

Even though Fleur was a half-Veela, at this moment, Kyle felt that her voice must have been cursed by a witch, it was too harsh...even though she was also a witch herself.

“Aren’t the French quite romantic?” Kyle looked at Fleur leaning against the shelf and said dissatisfiedly, “Why are you so busy?”

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Fleur exploded all of a sudden and said angrily: "Can you please consider me? I left my boyfriend alone and came all the way to be with Kangna, and you actually Call me troublesome?"

The more Fleur thought about it, the angrier she became. When she and Bill separated, they were in a passionate relationship, and they even decided to get married.

As a result, this **** Kyle not only didn’t thank him for leaving his fiancé to help him take care of his girlfriend, but also said such unscrupulous words.

She seemed to be about to transform. She picked up a bottle of magic potion and was about to fight Kyle. Fortunately, Kangna stopped her.

Kanna also recovered from the surprise of seeing Kyle at the beginning.

"Calm down, calm down, don't be the same as him." She comforted Fleur, who was about to explode, and at the same time glared at Kyle angrily.

"Okay, I apologize." Kyle quickly raised his hands to express surrender... just do as the Romans do.

"To express my apology." He took out the gift he had prepared, "This is for you."

"What is this?" Fleur's mood stabilized a little, and she picked up the bottle on the table, "Why does it look so much like shampoo."

"Absolutely." Kyle said, "Newt has studied Veela. This magical creature is particularly prone to hair loss in autumn. I thought that since you are half Veela, you may also lose hair, so I used ginger. Roots, mandrake and mandrake juices were used to create this hair care..."

Before Kyle could finish speaking, a bottle flew over and hit his ear, hitting the wall behind him. Kangna didn't even stop him.

 Maybe she didn’t intend to stop him.

　　Can make Fu Rong, who has always rejected people thousands of miles away, become so angry, it would not hurt to hit him, but it would be a pity for her bottle of vitality potion.

Kanna sighed and closed the store door again.

By the time the room became quiet again, it was already twenty minutes later. Fleur sat there panting, glaring at Kyle fiercely. But what’s interesting is that the things Kyle brought are missing from the table.

“Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to France at this time?”

“Wait a minute!” At this point, Kangna reacted suddenly, “Why did you suddenly come here? It’s from England…”

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing going on over there. The mysterious man and his Death Eaters don’t know what they are doing. Few people have seen them recently.”

"Besides, Hogwarts has started school as normal, so I just wanted to come over and see you." Kyle said, he waved his hand, and the broken things on the ground quickly returned to their original shape and flew to where they were. position.

 This is a wizard's shopping street, and all the people coming and going are wizards, so there is no problem using magic here.

“Speaking of which, how did you know it was me outside?” he asked casually.

After Kangna opened the door just now, she rushed over without any hesitation. She obviously knew in advance that the person outside was Kyle.

"Of course I know." Connor said with a smile, "If you are a French wizard, you won't be able to speak such bad French."

“My French is really that bad?” Kyle scratched his hair. He felt that his pronunciation was quite standard.

 “My sister was better than you when she was ten months old.” Fleur sneered.

"Okay." Kyle sighed, "I should have been a translator. This trip would be really inconvenient."

“How did you get here, Portkey?” Connor poured Kyle a glass of cherry soda, a popular drink in France that is equivalent to pumpkin soda in the UK.

"No, I didn't use the portkey." Kyle explained: "Fox brought me here so that I could avoid the Ministry of Magic's sight."

"Fox..." Connor blinked, "Professor Dumbledore's phoenix?"

“Well, I have to say, it’s really convenient.” Kyle rubbed his forehead, “It’s just that the process is a bit unfriendly.”

Even though Fleur was sitting next to him, Kyle had no intention of hiding it from her.

 Fu Rong’s character is still worthy of trust.

And it can be foreseen that Fleur and Bill will definitely get married in the end. By then, she will naturally become a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and there is no need to hide it.

 It’s just that Furong is not very interested in the topic of Phoenix. She is focused on another thing.

"I'm curious... how did you find this place with such poor French." She looked at Kyle, "The French Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to Furstenberg Square. There are Aurors everywhere, and suddenly there is a wizard. , it’s impossible for them not to notice it.”

"Really?" Kyle blinked, "Then I'm really lucky. The place I appeared is three streets away. It's not far from here, but it's not that close either."

“Then how did you get here? It’s impossible to ask for directions.”

"Of course I asked for directions." Kyle said seriously: "I asked a Muggle, he was very enthusiastic, and he understood everything I said."

"Yeah?"

Fleur expressed doubts about Kyle's statement, but since Kyle came here and the Aurors didn't come to the door, it meant that he really didn't use magic.

"But...it shouldn't be. Is Muggle language so tolerant?" Fleur muttered in a low voice, "No, you must have found a Muggle who can speak English."

 Facing her groundless speculation, Kyle simply chose to ignore it.

“By the way, it’s almost noon, why aren’t you opening the door yet?” He changed the subject: “Are you really selling potions?”

"certainly…"

"Of course it is, otherwise what else can we do." Kangna said before Fleur could speak: "I just don't want to open the door so early.

"Anyway, this store is not for making money. It must be as comfortable as possible. Under normal circumstances, we don't open until noon."

"Why is the window empty?" Kyle asked, pointing behind him.

“Of course they’re all sold out,” said Connor. “The Beauxbatons semester just started a few days ago, and those French students almost bought up all the stock in the store.

“In order to replenish the goods as soon as possible, I don’t even plan to open today.”

To increase the credibility of her words, she stood up and opened a door inside.

Kyle looked around and saw that there were all potions placed there. They were full of potions, covering the whole room, leaving only a small open space at the door for easy entry and exit.

 Seeing this, Kyle believed what Kang Na said.

  After all, so many potions cannot be faked, and Kangna really runs a shop with her heart, so he can feel relieved.

 Then they changed another topic, but then it was mainly Connor and Kyle talking.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, the two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about.

"I'm telling you, France is very interesting. Did you see those alchemy shops when you came here?" At some point, Kangna had already held Kyle's hand.

 “I saw it, there are three.” Kyle nodded.

“That’s not all.” Kangna said, “They don’t seem to pay much attention to potions here. They prefer alchemy.”

 “Then can your potion be sold?”

“It’s just because it’s so small that it’s popular.” Kangna said, “After all, the role of potions cannot be replaced by alchemy. Even if you don’t take it seriously, there is still a need.”

"makes sense."

 “How’s it going in the UK?”

"It's not bad," Kyle said. "The Death Eaters were quite active when Hogwarts first went on vacation, but there hasn't been much action recently. Oh, and Lupine and Nymphadora got married."

 “Really? When!”

 “Early August.”

 “It’s a pity that I can’t attend.”

"It's okay, and it was quite dangerous that day. Bellatrix came with Death Eaters to ruin the wedding."

 …

The two of them just chatted without anyone noticing. At first, Fleur could still sit and listen, but as time went by, she felt more and more that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

 It was as if I had become an invisible and transparent person.

She, Fleur, a half-Veela, was always the brightest one in the crowd wherever she went. She never thought that one day she would be ignored.

 As a result, she encountered it today.

There seemed to be a magical aura around those two people, which could automatically block everything around them. She tried to interrupt several times, but was ignored.

"I said, can you respect me?" Fleur said loudly, and this time she finally got a response.

 “What’s wrong?” Kyle raised his head.

“I just wanted to ask, how is Bill doing?”

"When you wrote the letter, you wished you could kill three owls in one day. You need to ask me how he is?" Kyle said unhurriedly: "Also, do you think that if something happens to Bill, I will not follow him for such a long time?" Did you mention it?”

Fleur took a deep breath. Her good etiquette kept her smiling, but no one knew what she was thinking.

 “You go on...I’ll go out for a walk.”

Fleur stood up, slammed the door and left angrily.

 She really couldn't stay in this place for a minute.

 …
