Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 214 Is the heir Ron?
Kyle knew that the professor's thoughts were all on the acromantula, so he didn't waste his time in a self-defeating manner, so he watched him leave the old house.

Now that something has happened in the school, it is inevitable to suspend classes for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Kyle decided to devote all his energy to the renovation of the old house.

At least he had to wait until the old house became his initial help before thinking about other things.

The core of old house renovation must be the energy storage room.

This is not only about the strength of the old mansion's defensive magic circle, but also about other important things.

So Kyle went straight down, into the penultimate basement.

The current energy storage room is completely different from the one he just finished shaping.

Not only has the alchemy equipment returned to its place, but even the core magic circle has been drawn out nine out of ten.

These magic circles can be said to be the most confidential things in the renovation of the entire old house.

In order to keep it secret, Kyle can only do it himself, instead of leaving it to the team members to describe.

The energy-storage magic circle is more complicated than the magic circle designed by Kyle on the lowest level, so it took him more time.

Fortunately, inspired by Dumbledore, Kyle improved the Patronus Charm again.

The current Patronus has hands and feet, and because of its abundant soul energy and sufficient wisdom, it has become an existence that is almost a double.

Since the day the silver kobold took shape, Kyle had stuffed it into the energy storage room, helping him to draw the magic circle day and night.

It was also since then that the progress of energy storage transformation has increased suddenly.

Taking advantage of the time today, Kyle decided to finish drawing the core magic circle with the silver kobold.

When these core things are described, the werewolves who made the magic bricks can be called up to complete the remaining components of energy storage together.

If all goes well, it may only take two days for the energy storage room to be completely remodeled.

The characterization of the magic circle is still as painful as before.

For the most core magic circle, Kyle didn't even let Mr. Weiqing make a mold, but chose to directly describe it.

After all, the more people who know, the more risk of leakage.

The consequence of not having a mold is that the difficulty of describing the entire magic circle is greatly increased.

I saw Kyle and the silver kobold lying on the ground on the left and right, carefully portraying their respective parts.

As mentioned above, studying the magic circle is beautiful, happy, and full of sense of accomplishment.

But it is definitely painful to describe the magic circle.

Although Kyle and the kobolds are of different races, the pain of the two is common.

While thinking about who I am, where I am, and why I made the magic circle so difficult, while weeping bitterly, I described it stroke by stroke.

When Kreacher came to announce dinner, Kyle seemed to experience the happiness of hearing the school bell again.

Almost without hesitation, he abandoned the silver kobold and rushed out of the energy storage room.

The bitter kobold was left alone, continuing to work conscientiously in the energy storage room.

After walking to the restaurant, Kyle slumped on the chair all of a sudden, not wanting to move.

The high workload in the afternoon really made him a little exhausted.

Taking advantage of the time of eating, just relax your mind and move your limbs.

Kreacher also knew that Kyle was working very hard today, so he specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.

After resting for 10 minutes, Kyle lazily picked up the knife and fork, and asked Kreacher while eating:
"Have the Professor and Hermione been home this afternoon?"

Kreacher, who was standing aside, opened his eyes wide, and while serving Kyle, he replied:
"Master, Miss Granger and Professor Snape haven't come back this afternoon."

"But Miss Granger called Kreacher once."

Hearing this, Kyle looked up curiously:

"Where did he call you, what's the matter?"

"Miss Granger called me from Hogsmeade on purpose."

While talking, Kreacher brought the mushroom soup to Kyle:
"She asked Kreacher to tell the young master that the operation was successful. In addition, Miss Granger said that she would look up some information in the school library and would come back later at night."

Kyle nodded noncommittally.

While dipping the bread into the soup casually, he was thinking about Hermione.

The action the little girl mentioned was successful, obviously referring to the time travel.

It seems that the rescue wizards have successfully found the little lions and dug them out of the spider's stomach.

The girl had said before she left that she was going to ask about Hagrid.

Now soaking in the library to look up information, it is obviously related to Hagrid.

Speaking of it, whoever can be friends with this girl is definitely a happy thing.

Just look at the treatment Hagrid enjoys.

Not only took the risk to go back to the past and erase his biggest mistake.

Now, at the risk of losing his hair, he stays up all night in the library to help him look up information.

No need to guess, this girl must be looking for some favorable information to help Hagrid reduce his sentence.

This kind of behavior of being loyal to friendship and being anxious for justice is one of the biggest shining points of this girl.

So of course Kyle would not stop her, but continued to enjoy dinner with a smile on his face.

Who doesn't want their friends or subordinates to have such good morals of justice and loyalty?
Kyle, who was originally exhausted, wanted to relax completely during dinner. He didn't think about anything, but just enjoyed the food to his heart's content.

But Hermione's news made him think about the current situation involuntarily.

Based on the news from the professor and Hermione, it is not difficult to see that the battle in the castle is almost over.

Afterwards, there was only a thorough search of the castle, the capture of the acromantula that escaped the blockade, and the confrontation at the political level.

I believe that this time, both the Ministry of Magic and the forces of Slytherin will jump out and attack the Gryffindor family.

After all, the whole thing could almost be said to have been caused by Gryffindor alone.

The acromantula was raised by Hagrid, and it was absolutely to blame.

The breeding history of acromantia runs through the tenure of the two headmasters of Hogwarts.

But these two headmasters are all from Gryffindor.

Don't dare to say too much, a charge of negligence will never escape.

The only excuse the Gryffindors could find was the heir.

After all, from the root cause, it was the heir who stirred up all this.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but smile.

The Horcrux pretending to be the heir this time probably came from that kid Draco.

He would not know what it was that was brought into the school, only that it was a dangerous dark magic item.

Under such a premise, how would he deal with this thing?

Of course it was Gryffindor who he hated.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help straightening his body, and continued to make his own guesses.

The reason why that brat Draco did this was nothing more than hoping that the black magic item would go berserk and teach the person who got this item a profound lesson.

Thinking along this line of thought, who would Draco give the Horcrux to?

Of course it's Weasley, and most likely it's Ron Weasley.

This was definitely his worst enemy at school, and Harry could only come in second.

Thinking of this, Kyle suddenly became excited.

This idea appeared in his mind for the first time, but he knew that this possibility was extremely high.

For more than half of the semester before, Kyle has not given up on finding clues to the Horcrux, but unfortunately, he has not gained anything.

But as the saying goes, if you plant flowers deliberately, the flowers will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will make shade.

Originally, it was just a random thought in his spare time, but he unexpectedly found a new direction.

Even having no intention of tasting the sumptuous meal in front of him, Kyle casually chewed the steak in his mouth, and continued to think along this line of thought in his mind.

He had never targeted Ron with suspicion before.

Because although this guy is impulsive and brainless, he is definitely a crazy admirer of Dumbledore.

In Kyle's mind, he has been completely brainwashed by Dumbledore.

Once this kind of black magic item is found, of course, he will obediently obey Dumbledore's words and hand it over to the old lion as soon as possible.

But when today's idea appeared, Kyle suddenly realized that he had taken it for granted.

The kid was right in listening to Dumbledore, but don't underestimate his recklessness and stupidity, as well as his curiosity that belongs to a lion.

Adding these characteristics together, as long as he has enough conditions, he will definitely be able to cause a catastrophe that will shatter the sky.

Just like the opening of the chamber of secrets this time.

Thinking of this, Kyle suddenly remembered some abnormal behaviors of Ron.

Especially these few times with him.

He actually learned to endure, instead of continuing to provoke Kyle mindlessly.

This is actually his biggest anomaly.

Think about it before, even if Kyle broke his wand twice, this guy can still abuse Kyle without fear.

Although it is really brainless to do so, you have to admire his courage.

But look at his behavior the last two months.

Suddenly learned to endure, and suddenly became the leader of the anti-Kyle and anti-Hermione gang.

Forbearance can be understood as being scared by Kyle.

But being the leader of a gang is not something a guy like Ron can do.

Does he know how to unite the group?Does he know how to lead members in action?Of course he didn't know.

But looking at it now, he was doing well in Gryffindor, which was obviously not normal.

Someone was clearly teaching him what to do.

Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Kyle's eyes.

It would be so much fun if the heir was really Ron.

The Chamber of Secrets incident and the Acromantus attack completely turned into civil strife in Gryffindor.

Gryffindor is behind the Chamber of Secrets.

Gryffindor was also attacked in the Chamber of Secrets incident.

Hagrid is Gryffindor who raises the giant spider.

It was Gryffindor who indulged Hagrid.

It was Gryffindor who was finally attacked by the acromantula.

Thinking of this, Kyle's expression became strange.

If we say that the theme of the last school year was the adventure of the savior.

So if his speculation is correct, wouldn't the theme of this year be Gryffindor Brawl?

Thinking of this, Kyle even overturned the plan made at noon.

Why spend all the time on renovating the old house, what remodeling the energy storage room in two days, Kyle said that this is not a problem, this can be pushed back.

What could be more important than watching a Gryffindor farce right now?

And Kyle doesn't mean to give up his plan completely.

Don't you see the silver kobold, isn't he still working hard?
Thinking of this, Kyle finished the rest of the dinner in two bites, and then Apparated to Old Hogsmeade.

First came to the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace of the three broomsticks, then passed through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic, and finally arrived at Hogwarts.

After coming out of the fireplace in the castle auditorium, he released the Iron Armor Charm for himself first, then Kyle held his wand tightly and walked carefully to the library.

No one knew where the acromantula was hiding in the castle, and he didn't want to be caught unexpectedly.

At this time the library is still brightly lit.

Even with all this happening, the house-elves were still doing their job, lighting every candlestick in the castle.

But looking around, there was only the little witch sitting in the entire library.

Even Mrs. Pince didn't know where she went.

Dong dong dong

The little witch was so engrossed that she didn't even realize that suddenly there was someone beside her.

As a last resort, Kyle tapped on the table with his fingers, only to wake her up suddenly.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Out of habit, when the little girl spoke, she lowered her voice as much as possible.

It wasn't until I finished speaking that I realized that this is an extraordinary period, and there is no one in the library.

The little girl smiled embarrassedly.But he kept his head up and looked at Kyle suspiciously.

But then, the little girl seemed to think of something, and she spoke nonchalantly:

"Senior, are you here to take me back to the old house?"

"Don't worry about mine, I still carry the puppet you borrowed from me, there will be no danger."

After finishing speaking, the girl took the initiative to look away and stopped looking at Kyle.

After hearing what the little girl said, Kyle twitched the corners of his mouth with some toothache.

If the little girl didn't say anything, he really forgot that there was such a thing as taking her back to the old house.

But Kyle is not a straight man of steel, so of course he won't tell the little girl the truth, but instead goes along with the flow:
"The school is still not safe. You pick out all the books you want to read, leave a note for Mrs. Pince, and then take them back to the old house to read."

Hearing what Kyle said, the little girl showed a bright smile.

He didn't worry about whether it was legal or not, but stood up obediently and went to choose the books to bring back to the old house.

Kyle shrugged behind the little girl, didn't take this matter to heart, but turned his gaze to the restricted area.

On weekdays, Mrs. Pince kept a close eye on the restricted area so that no one could sneak in.

Even at night, this is the focus of professors patrolling.

But now, there is no one left to guard here.

Seeing the busy figure of the little girl, Kyle hesitated for a moment, and didn't go straight into the restricted area.

But I have already made up my mind, after sending the little girl back, I will come back here to stay overnight, and see as much as I can.

After all, the opportunity to browse banned books at will is absolutely once in a lifetime.

As for Ron's matter, the big deal is to ask Hermione for verification tomorrow during the day, and I don't mind wasting this little time.
