Chapter 124 Two Cakes
At the end of July, St. Catchpole Village welcomed a special guest.
Hagrid was discharged from the hospital. With the help of Newt and the therapist, he remembered everything that had happened before. At the same time, he also learned from other professors about the changes in the Forbidden Forest at the end of the semester.
Hagrid couldn't believe that Kyle's life was in danger twice a month ago, and it was all related to him.
"It's all...blame me...this...idiot!"
In the living room of Kyle's house, Hagrid covered his face with his hands and sobbed, "Is it because of me that you almost died in the Forbidden Forest, or because of me, you met a werewolf in St. Mungo's again, I should be kicked out of Hogwarts and be a Muggle for life!"
Hagrid was trembling all over. Because of sadness and regret, this nearly four-meter-tall giant cried like a child whose lollipop was robbed, and big tears seeped into his beard.
"Hagrid, calm down." Kyle handed him a tablecloth and comforted him, "Wipe your face. Don't forget that you are also a victim in Oren's case. I have also compared it. The content on the note was not written by you, right?"
Kyle looked at his sofa with some heartache.
It was already a heavy job for it to hold Hagrid, and with Hagrid's shaking... Kyle could clearly hear a tooth-grinding creaking sound coming from the sofa, as if it might go on strike at any time.
"But you almost died!" Hagrid sobbed and said, "I told Oren about Lu Wei, so he had the opportunity to trick you.
"He always has a way." Kyle said, "Don't forget that he is my Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and he can always find a reason to take me to the Forbidden Forest."
"But you will definitely be prepared for other excuses!" Hagrid's shoulders were still shaking, "And St. Mungo's, you must have met the werewolf when you came to see me."
"It was an accident. "Kyle shook his head and said, "And it's a good thing I ran into him, otherwise, how many innocent patients do you think would have died that day... or turned into werewolves.
We successfully resolved a major crisis, Hagrid.
In addition, I should also thank you, because of the werewolf incident, I will probably be able to receive the Order of Merlin soon. Dean Sassia promised that she would be my nominee. "
"The Galloping Gorgon, the Order of Merlin..." Hagrid finally raised his head and looked at Kyle in shock and said, "You are probably the youngest medal recipient."
"Who knows." Kyle shrugged, "Eat a candy, it may make you feel better."
"Thank you, Kyle." Hagrid took the toffee handed by Kyle, wiped his nose with the back of his hand and said, "That reminds me, I also brought you a gift."
Kyle looked a little nervous and frowned, "It won't be a new flavor of ferret sandwich. "
Hagrid finally managed a smile, "If that's what you like, I can make it for you next time, but not today.
He took out a big box from his back and said, "I just found out that your birthday is tomorrow too.
Happy birthday in advance, Kyle, this is a cake I made myself."
Kyle opened the box, and inside was a large chocolate cake sprinkled with icing sugar, with green syrup written on it: "Happy birthday, Harry?"
Hagrid wrote the wrong word, but I think it should be the meaning.
But this is not the point.
Kyle squinted, his face full of confusion and puzzlement: "This is... for me?"
When did he change his name? Do Chris and Diana know about this?
"Of course, you don't like it... Sorry, I took the wrong one."
Hagrid looked at the words on the cake, patted his forehead with enough force to push down a cow, and took out a box from another inner pocket of his coat.
"This is for you."
The same frosted chocolate cake, the same typo, but the syrup on it is yellow, and it has also been replaced with Kyle's name.
"You and little Harry have the same birthday, and I mixed up the two cakes."
"Thank you, Hagrid. I like it very much."
Kyle cut a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth, and then... nothing happened.
A strong sweet taste rushed straight from his mouth to the top of his head, and it felt like drinking a mouthful of concentrated syrup.
Sure enough, he shouldn't eat any food given by Hagrid!
Kyle gritted his teeth and swallowed the small piece of cake with difficulty.
"How does it taste?"
"Excellent." Kyle gave a thumbs up and said, "I've never eaten such a sweet cake."
"As long as you like it." Hagrid said happily, "Why don't you eat some more? There's still a lot."
"No, no, it's not time yet." Kyle shook his head repeatedly, "I plan to share it with my friends tomorrow.
It would be a pity for Fred and George to miss such a delicious cake. And Cedric will be back soon, so I plan to save a piece for him too."
"Yes, good things should be eaten with friends." Hagrid smiled and said, "If you like, you can come to me anytime after school starts."
"Ahem...sure, sure." Kyle felt his throat tighten and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you prepared a cake, are you going to give it to Potter?"
"Yes, Dumbledore agreed that I would take him to Diagon Alley, but..." Hagrid frowned and said, "I was supposed to go tomorrow, but for some reason, the admission notice never came. It was delivered to him, so Dumbledore asked me to go over there in advance to avoid any accidents."
Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "That's really something wrong."
"Yes, so I will go to Surrey, London in the afternoon and hand-deliver the letter to him." Hagrid continued: "You know, Harry can't miss the start of Hogwarts."
"Don't worry so much, it's also the owl's problem." Kyle looked out the window, thought for a while and said: "Some Muggles don't like birds, maybe they drove away the owls that sent the letters.
Let's do this, you give me the letter, I'll ask Raton to help deliver it, and you can just take him to Diagon Alley when the time comes. "
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"
Hagrid hesitated, but he still wanted to hand the letter to Harry himself.
"It's not troublesome." Kyle waved his hand and said: "It is the tradition of Hogwarts for the owl to deliver the admission notice. It is very memorable, and every little wizard can only experience it once. Once you miss it, you will never have it again. It’s the second time.”
After hearing what Kyle said, Hagrid was suddenly stunned.
Yes...how could he forget this.
"Okay." After Hagrid hesitated for a moment, he took out a light yellow envelope and handed it to Kyle. "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's a small matter." Kyle accepted the envelope.
Hagrid stayed for a while and then prepared to leave.
Before he went out, Kyle suddenly asked: "By the way, Hagrid, what do you think of the toffee just now?"
"Well, I haven't eaten it yet." Hagrid said with a smile: "I'm going to give it to Harry to try. He must not have eaten candies from the magical world."
“…”
Just do it.
After Hagrid left, Kyle called Raton and handed him the admission notice. By the way, I took off the toffee that was secretly stuck next to the wax seal.
"Be careful, that family is not very friendly and may have weapons."
