Chapter 75 Kyle's Flower Garden
With Kyle's help, Hagrid finally delivered all the Christmas trees to the hall before the dinner.
When they arrived, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were already waiting in the hall.
"Hagrid, you're finally here, these are the last two... Oh, great levitation spell, Mr. Chopper, five points for Hufflepuff."
Professor Flitwick was still wondering why Hagrid could carry two Christmas trees so easily, but when he got closer, he found Kyle holding a wand next to him.
"If the final exam is a levitation spell... I can give you an "O" now."
Professor Flitwick winked at Kyle, then used the levitation spell to take over the two fir trees and put them in the right place.
Professor McGonagall wove the mistletoe into hanging flower ribbons to fill the last gap on the wall.
A few minutes later, a large number of students began to pour into the hall, and the dinner officially began.
At the table, Cedric looked at Kyle in surprise and said, "What, you said you won't go back for Christmas?"
"Yeah." Kyle nodded and said, "No way, there's no one at home, there's no point in going back, it's better to stay in Hogwarts."
Chris is responsible for sending the magical animals that were caught before back to their original habitats. Recently, he has been traveling around the world with Uncle Newt.
The Department of Mysteries seems to be out on the field. Diana sent him a letter a few days ago, saying that she might not be able to come back for Christmas, but the gifts will definitely be delivered on time.
Chris and Diana are not at home, so it's no fun for Kyle to go back. It's better to stay in Hogwarts, where he can at least do something.
For example, cultivate a relationship with Fluffy, or water the two ornamental plants he raises.
"Why don't you go to my house?" Cedric thought for a moment and said, "My father will definitely welcome you."
"Next time." Kyle shook his head and said, "I just agreed with Hagrid that I would help him take care of the animals during the holidays."
Cedric looked a little disappointed.
Kyle was just the opposite. To be honest, he didn't want to face Mr. Diggory, the child show-off, let alone stay with him for two weeks.
Even if he just thought about it, Kyle felt a headache. It was enough for Chris to bear this kind of treatment alone.
In order to divert Cedric's attention and make him forget about this topic, Kyle turned his head and looked at Connor on the side and asked, "What about you, are you going back during the holidays?"
Connor didn't say anything, just shook her head gently.
Seeing this, Kyle didn't ask any more questions.
...
After the dinner, this semester ended.
The next day, the little wizards took the train back to King's Cross Station.
Mikel and Ryan also went home, leaving Kyle alone in the dormitory. Even the once lively common room was much quieter at this time.
This feeling is not bad.
Kyle sat on a sofa near the stove, roasting a potato with skin, and some bread, mushrooms, and some thinly sliced beef next to it.
Although the house elves said they could help roast it directly when Kyle went to the kitchen to get these ingredients, he refused.
All he wanted was the process, and then eating.
Kyle took the roasting fork and waited for the potato to gradually turn black before taking it out.
After cooling, peel off the skin, and it was sweet and soft, and delicious.
But the heat may not be controlled well, and the inside is still raw.
Kyle scooped out the raw piece with a spoon and threw it to a mouse not far away.
"Kyle..." Connor glared at him fiercely, "Don't feed Pochi those weird things!"
"It's just potatoes, what's so weird about it?" Kyle waved his hand and said indifferently: "Besides, whose field mouse doesn't eat potatoes!"
As if deliberately going against him, the mouse named Pochi looked at the half-cooked potato, turned around and went somewhere else, without any intention of tasting it.
"Good guy, a mouse is still picky about food." Kyle was a little embarrassed and said to Connor seriously: "I think you should starve it for a few meals."
Connor ignored him and took Pochi out of the common room.
It's Christmas vacation now, and the administrator's cat won't be wandering around the corridor of the castle all the time, so she plans to take this opportunity to take her pet out for a walk and let it visit Hogwarts by the way.
It's been so long since I came here, I can't keep it in the dormitory all the time.
After Connor left, Kyle was the only one left in the lounge. He was a little bored, so he finished eating the food at hand and did not stay here any longer. Instead, he got up and went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
After three months of hard work by Kyle, in addition to the biting cabbage, there are also white fresh, rue, nightshade, mistletoe, hellebore... and a beautiful golden hydrangea.
There is nothing much to say about the first three, they are all common magical plants, and their seeds can be bought in Hogsmeade. Kyle asked someone to bring back a large bag.
As for the last one... it came from the Hufflepuff common room.
One night, Kyle couldn't help it, so he cut a small branch with a flower bud from the pot of lush golden hydrangea...
It was really a small one, about an inch long, and it would not have any impact on it.
Originally, I just planted it here with a try-and-see attitude, but I didn't expect it to be successful.
Although it looks small now, Kyle is already very satisfied. As long as it survives, it will grow up.
Kyle went straight to the middle.
The biting cabbage is growing well. In three months, they have grown from seeds to the size of a bludger. In the open mouth, the two rows of sharp teeth look very powerful. A bite is definitely enough.
Kyle loosened the soil for them and drove away the Billywig worm that had been hovering over his head.
"I'm busy now, go play by yourself."
A few days ago, he accidentally rescued the Billywig worm from Mrs. Loris's mouth, which was almost eaten as lunch.
At that time, the little guy still had a long cut on his body. It was probably caught by Mrs. Loris... Kyle simply brought it here and used white mulberry to help treat it.
Then... it refused to leave.
Fortunately, the little guy was obedient. After Kyle said that, it flew away obediently.
This place is very big, with many magical plants, and most importantly, there is no cat that jumps very high, it likes it very much...
After Kyle loosened the soil for the biting cabbage, he walked around the room again.
He still felt that this place was a bit empty. Although he still had a lot of white fresh and rue seeds in his hand, it always felt a bit wasteful if he only planted those ordinary magical plants in such a good place.
Kyle touched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the large open space on the left side of the room that he had left specially.
If he remembered correctly, the herb class should soon learn about the Devil's Snare.
