Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 126 Hermione and Little Red Hair
After ordering Kreacher to send the four silent scientists and the sleeping Penny back to the room, he smiled and gestured to the Blacks around him. Under their complicated eyes, Kyle walked to the last floor of the basement.

The last floor is still empty, without any decoration, there is no line of sight from anyone here, and no one can see him.

"call……"

When he got here, Kielce took a deep breath and sighed in his heart:
"I haven't fooled anyone for a few years, and my skills have declined."

As a self-made entrepreneur in his previous life, Kyle is very good at fooling around.

Fooling his subordinates, clients, and investors, this is his housekeeping skill.

I didn't expect that after traveling to the magic world and staying in the library for a few years, my skill has dropped so much.

Sure enough, the fist never leaves the hand, the flicker never leaves the mouth, the ancients never deceived me.

Relaxed, Kyle stared at the magic circle on the ground for a long time, and finally bent down and continued to portray.

Designing a magic circle can be fascinating.

Seeing a complex magic circle being designed by myself, the sense of accomplishment is indescribably wonderful.

The successful operation of the magic circle is even more exciting.

In particular, most of Kyle's magic circles were designed by himself.

Whenever a magic circle is successfully lit, Kyle's mood is as happy as eating an ice cream in summer.

But the middle process is really torture!

Bow down and draw on the ground stroke by stroke, and each stroke must be infused with its own magic power.

The whole process was a double torture of body and spirit.

Kyle, who was having fun while suffering, could only try to imagine the old house after renovation, and then devoted himself to this hard work.

I ate dinner in the middle, and spent the rest of the time in the basement.

It wasn't until Kreacher reminded Kyle that it was time to rest that he realized that it was past one o'clock.

He stood up straight with his waist supported, and moved his bones.

After working for hours on end, my muscles felt stiff.

Kreacher stood aside with a look of admiration.

Even after several hours, the old guy has not calmed down, and is still immersed in the pie that Kyle just drew.

Speechlessly glanced at the old guy, and ordered him to keep an eye on the scientists, Kyle directly Apparated to the vicinity of the Screaming Shack.

After carefully confirming that there was no one around, he quickly dodged and walked in.

It's a pity that the big black dog is not here again, and I don't know if he hid out to avoid Kyle, or what happened.

Smacking his lips regretfully, Kyle walked towards the castle.

At this time, the lights in the castle have been turned off, and a curfew has begun.

The corridor was very quiet, and there was only one light source far away, which seemed a bit gloomy.

The flickering flames sprinkled on those armors, dragging a long shadow behind them.

Looking at the armor, Kyle swallowed greedily.

There is one of these armors every twenty meters, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, which looks like an exquisite handicraft.

Some young wizards even swear that these are antiques that have existed since the establishment of Hogwarts, and they are priceless.

But of course Kyle can see that this is not some bluffing handicraft.

These are all genuine alchemy puppets, with excellent materials and superb refining techniques.

If these puppets really existed from the very beginning of the school, as those little wizards said.

Then Kyle can only say enviously that the four founders are really rich!
While thinking about these puppets, he walked cautiously towards the cellar.

As soon as the school year started, the school ramped up its patrols.

The number of professors patrolling every day has been increased, and the ghosts are also arranged in groups of two and two, constantly patrolling at night.

Even the portraits were warned to be on the alert at all times for anything suspicious.

This made Kyle act and had to act lightly.

The little wizards in the night tour will not cause the vigilance of the ghosts and portraits, and even watching the children in the night tour fighting wits with the professor has become a source of happiness for these guys.

But Kyle is different. After using the Disillusionment Charm, once he makes any suspicious noises, he will instantly attract the attention of the portraits, and then the portraits will quickly call for the professor and the ghost.

As far as Kyle knew, more than one little wizard who used the disillusionment spell to travel at night had been arrested this year. It is said that this made Filch very happy.

Cleaning the hallway, cleaning the toilets, Filch arranged them clearly.

However, being caught by the professor certainly cannot stop the enthusiasm of the little animals, especially the little lions.

Kyle has already seen more than one nocturnal lion cub, running lightly in the corridor.

The Weasley brothers came with their buddy Lee Jordan, looking around, and ran towards Badger's lounge.

Colin, a first grader, dragged another lion cub, who was also a first grader, wandering around the castle tremblingly.

But from time to time, I will press the shutter of the camera in my hand.

To be honest, the appearance of this little guy is really a bit arrogant.

In addition, there is a wandering little ghost farther away from Kyle.

Looking at the pattern on the school uniform, it is also a little lion.

With the hood on his head, he also walked lightly, flashing past the corner.

Because of the distance and the dim lighting, Kyle didn't even know whether the little lion was male or female.

But there is always a weird feeling in my heart, it seems that this little guy is a little uncoordinated, did he go along?
Shaking his head, Kyle stopped thinking about it.

She walked smoothly all the way back to the cellar, and the scene after opening the door surprised her a little.

There were still people in the lounge after midnight.

Two little girls, Daphne and Pansy, are quietly playing wizard chess.

Looking at the watch on the wall, the silver snake head has already pointed to two o'clock.

The opening of the cellar door awakened the two little snakes.

But the two girls just glanced at it indifferently, and continued to focus on the chess game.

There is no difference at all why the door was opened and no one came in.

On the surface, Slytherins never meddle in other people's business and know how to control their curiosity.

But this is only on the surface.

Little snakes are extremely sensitive to every abnormality around them, and are very good at collecting and analyzing information.

In Slytherin, if you want to do something that is not in line with the rules, you must always pay attention to your behavior.

Otherwise, these little snakes can analyze what you have done in minutes.

Of course, this refers to the elite of Slytherin.

The big guys on the Quidditch team, as well as Crabbe and Goyle next to Malfoy, were not included.

Glancing at the two girls who behaved a little weirdly, Kyle went straight back to the dormitory without canceling the disillusionment spell.

The girls were obviously waiting for someone, or making sure of something.

Kyle even had some doubts that the two girls were after him.

This is the trouble in Slytherin, you never know how many eyes in the dark, watching you carefully.

Especially people like Kyle, who are always being watched.

Kyle, who returned to the dormitory, simply washed up and collapsed on the bed.

For the next few days, Kyle's behavior was extremely regular.

During the day when there are classes, I go to class, and when there are no classes, I spend time in the library.

After dinner, I went directly back to the old house to paint the magic circle. I was busy until midnight, and then I went back to my bedroom to sleep.

One-half of the magic circle has been drawn, and it is estimated that the work can be completely finished after being so busy until the weekend.

It is worth mentioning that I haven't seen the big black dog these days.

And Daphne and Pansy played chess until the early morning for two consecutive days.

Calmly watching the door of the lounge was opened, and then no one came in.

This made Kyle even more sure that the two girls were waiting for him, and they sent a message to Kyle brightly:
"We found you."

This made Kyle a little curious about their purpose.

A few days of regular life was broken on Wednesday, which was the tutoring time that Kyle told Hermione that day.

Although the little witch didn't give him an answer, Kyle was confident that Hermione would definitely come.

Sure enough, after eating dinner and walking to the classroom, he saw the little witch was already waiting here.

Seeing Kyle walk in, Hermione's face flashed a wave, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Good evening, Hermione."

Kyle greeted happily: "It's a pleasure to meet you here. You really have an unparalleled love for knowledge."

Hermione just sat there quietly without speaking, but her eyes were a little sad.

Seeing the appearance of the little witch, Kyle knew something.

It seems that a certain little red hair really gave another assist as rumored.

Kyle's appreciation and invitation to Hermione has never been hidden.

This has drawn some criticism in Slytherin.

But because Kyle was on top, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction in person.

A group of little snakes all pretended that there was no such thing, but kept guessing Kyle's intentions in their hearts.

Even Malfoy, who had always despised Hermione's origin, no longer used the word Mudblood to refer to the little witch.

Not so with Gryffindor.

The lions who advocate freedom and justice are not suppressed by anyone.

When Kyle sent out the invitation for the first time, rumors had already spread behind his back that Hermione was going to betray Gryffindor.

But after all, Hermione didn't agree to it at that time, so no one said anything in front of Hermione, they just swarmed to persuade Hermione not to go to the appointment.

He kept repeating the evil of Slytherin in front of her, and the righteous Gryffindor should not be with them.

But this instead aroused Hermione's dissatisfaction.

Because in the past few months, she felt more and more that the name Gryffindor did not represent justice, and not all Slytherins were evil.

It is nothing more than a collision between two interest groups with different positions.

The meeting between Hermione and Kyle last time was also not secretive.

Many little lions witnessed the whole process, and she followed Kyle into the classroom.

This caused an uproar in Gryffindor.

Some sensible lion cubs did not attack her, but kept persuading her to stay away from Kyle.

The remaining simple-minded lion cubs began to attack her repeatedly in public, accusing her of being a traitor in collusion with Slytherin.

Especially the little red-haired one who broke his wand.

But this didn't scare the little girl, on the contrary, it completely aroused Hermione's fighting spirit.

As far as Kyle knew, Hermione had completely broken with Little Red, and announced her decision loudly in front of the lion cubs in the lounge.

According to the news from the little badgers.

That day, Hermione was reading a book in the lounge, and Ron Weasley, who had returned from going out, walked over directly after seeing Hermione, and made his old-fashioned argument again:
Slytherins are evil, they are worshipers of Voldemort, they are the reservists of Death Eaters, Hermione should stay away from them!

Hermione had heard this set of arguments countless times, so before he finished speaking, she closed her book heavily, and impatiently squeezed the little red-haired who was still chattering away, and sarcastically said something.

This kind of behavior seemed to make Weasley feel that he had been swept away. He blushed on the spot when he heard that, and then became completely angry from embarrassment.

This guy had no gentlemanly demeanor, and roared loudly at a lady.

At that time, the entire lounge was shocked by him, and everyone stopped talking, which made his roar echo throughout the lounge.

"Hermione Granger! You are working with evil, this is blatant betrayal!"

"Do you think good grades are great? Do you think you are the only one who sees the truth? You were blinded by that evil Slytherin!"

"Sooner or later, you will regret it, and then you can't wait to escape from that Kyle Shafik! I have seen through his evil face!"

This guy seemed to enjoy the feeling of being watched by the whole lounge, the more he talked, the more excited he became, the more he said the more outrageous, dancing and spitting.

Harry behind him couldn't hold back no matter what, he could only keep begging Hermione to leave quickly, hoping to end this farce.

But the little witch has never been a person who can be blamed.

The footsteps that were heading towards the lounge stopped amidst the roar.

After listening to all of Xiao Hongmao's speeches with sarcasm, he looked at Xiao Hongmao contemptuously, and gave his own reply:
"Ron Weasley, no one can interfere in other people's choices so brazenly."

"Whether Kyle Shafik is evil or not, I can judge for myself."

"No academy can be defined so arbitrarily."

"Madame Pomfrey in the hospital wing was born in Slaterin. Do you want to say that Madam Pomfrey is also evil?"

"Sirius is from Gryffindor, so according to your remarks, isn't Sirius also righteous?!"

Speaking of this, the little witch's words were not only directed at the little red hair, but also roared at all the lion cubs who attacked her:

"You say Kyle is evil, please show me the evidence and tell me what evil he did."

"If not, please shut up, you have no right to interfere with my choice, I can tell right from wrong!"

In the end, only contempt remained in the eyes looking at Xiao Hongmao:

"Especially you, Ron Weasley, you make me sick! I don't know what else is left of you but your prejudices!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

The helpless Harry, the angry little red hair and his supporters were left behind, as well as the rest of the little lion cubs who were thoughtful or had complex eyes.
