Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 232 Back to School
All Black's eyes were on Kyle, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

No one wants to be the center of attention in the crowd.

It's just that most ordinary people can only stand silently on the edge of the crowd, watching those high-spirited figures, wantonly exuding their own demeanor.

Kyle is certainly not an ordinary person, and he will not be content with being ordinary.

After five years, he finally saw the hope of becoming a rule maker.

But that didn't make him complacent.

On the contrary, the more this time, the more he will warn himself, to be cautious, to be steady, to make a decision before making a move.

The purpose of his going to the basement today was to discuss future plans with the Blacks.

Now he has completely trusted the portraits and regarded them as his think tank.

One person counts short, two counts long, and such a group of old foxes standing behind him made Kyle a lot easier when making arrangements.

Like Malfoy, Kyle and the portraits also discussed late into the night.

The focus of the discussion is how to integrate other forces.

Including the Malfoy family, including the neutral family, and even the forces behind Dumbledore.

In addition, I discussed the two Horcruxes in the school.

In the eyes of the current Blacks, Horcruxes have become a rare and precious treasure.

Moreover, Voldemort only made seven treasures of this kind, but one of them was Harry Potter.

This made the Blacks have to pay attention to any Horcrux, unwilling to give up any chance to get it.

After all, looking at the entire magic world, there may only be these seven Horcruxes.

Even if it can't be made into a house-elf, Kyle can turn it into a powerful Yin corpse and let him order.

Ever since they found out that there might be a Horcrux in the school, the Portrait Gate has been planning how to snatch the Horcrux from Dumbledore's hands like chicken blood.

But as Horcruxes got bigger and bigger, especially after revealing the secret of Horcruxes to Dumbledore, this goal seemed to be getting further and further away.

But compared to getting the position of principal, the effort is worth it.

The discussion went on until 12 o'clock before Kyle stretched out and came out of the basement.

It wasn't time for the little witch to rest, so Kyle thought about it, and instead of going back to the bedroom directly, he was going to check the little girl's homework.

Dong dong dong

As usual, Hermione was so absorbed that she didn't notice Kyle's arrival.

This forced him to knock on the table, waking up the little girl who was engrossed in the book.

There was a thick pile of reference materials on the table, and a lot of parchment was scattered in a mess.

"What are you researching?"

Kyle asked while looking at the parchments curiously.

The little girl who was woken up heard Kyle's question and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"The current state of the magic world is not very good. I want to study some protective measures for the old house and my family."

Hermione's subject piqued Kyle's interest.

No one doesn't want to have more protective measures, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite Hermione and motioned her to continue talking.

"Senior, I discovered that the Muggle Repelling Curse is really a very magical magic. The Broken Ax Bar has a history of hundreds of years, but thanks to the Muggle Repelling Curse, it has never been discovered by Muggles."

"So I wonder if we can refer to the Muggle Repelling Curse and develop a Wizard Repelling Curse? This spell may be just icing on the cake for the old house. But for wizards with family members in the Muggle world, it is definitely what they need most."

"After all, for them, compared with the magic circles that protect against magic and physical attacks, this kind of magic that can make Muggles ignored by wizards is what they need more."

When the little witch spoke, her eyes were shining.

For a researcher, it is indeed a very happy thing to be able to find a research direction that interests him.

In particular, this research has extremely strong application value, so it's no wonder Hermione is so excited.

After hearing the little girl's explanation, Kyle became more interested.

Although the Loyalty Curse can completely hide a place, the secrets that a person can keep are limited, which means that this spell cannot be widely used.

If the wizard expelling spell can really be researched, it will make up for the flaws of this spell.

While listening to Hermione talking about his research ideas, Kyle flipped through her research notes.

How should I put it, after all, this is the first time the little girl has designed her own magic.

It can be seen that there are not many research ideas yet, and it is still at the stage of analyzing the Muggle expulsion spell.

Of course Kyle would not deny Hermione's behavior because of this.

While encouraging her thoughts, he quickly listed a list of books for her:
"Hermione, I have listed some books for you, which may contain the knowledge you need to use."

Kyle's action made Hermione very happy, and while the little girl nodded quickly, she quickly took the catalog:
"Senior, I'm worried that I don't know where to start, so I'll read these books first and try to extract useful things."

Kyle nodded, but instead of continuing to study with the little girl, he said:
"It's not early today, you should rest early, research is not something that can be done overnight, you have to learn to allocate your time reasonably."

Although Kyle specifically instructed him, Kreacher told him to pay attention to Hermione's diet, which must be balanced and nutritious.

But the little girl's complexion is still not very good.

After all, she was only 12 years old.

With such high-intensity study and research every day, Kyle was afraid that it would affect her physical development.

But Hermione didn't have as much as he thought.

I just feel that I finally got some pointers. Of course, I have to study it immediately, at least arrange the reading order of these books, and then go to rest.

"Senior, you should rest first, I want to study before going to bed, I'm not sleepy yet."

Kyle looked at the big dark circles on the girl's face, slightly dry hair, and that tired face. There was really no way to associate her image with not being sleepy.

So regardless of whether the girl is willing or not, I picked it up for her:

"I've told you several times that we should combine work and rest, and relax in a moderate manner. You have been listening to the wind, pretending not to hear it, right? Hurry up and go to sleep in a down-to-earth manner."

After finishing speaking, seeing the little girl just stuck out her tongue, but she didn't show any sign of repentance, she could only shake her head helplessly.

You don't even need this girl to tell you. After today, she will definitely continue to study like this, and she will definitely not choose to go back to the room to rest if she is not too sleepy to keep her eyes open.

After thinking about it, Kyle decided to break the boat for him:

"Kreacher, come here."

"Young master, what are your orders?"

As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Kreacher appeared beside them with a snap.

Even though it was late at night, the old guy's face was still full of energy, without any signs of fatigue.

Kyle was not surprised by his state, after all, he was a house elf, a magical creature.

"From now on, every night at 12 o'clock, you will come to the library to remind Hermione to go to rest. If she is disobedient, you can tell me and I will clean her up."

Kreacher's big eyes glanced at Hermione, and then he agreed solemnly.

"Obey, young master, I will remember to come and supervise Miss Granger every day!"

The exchange between Kyle and the two almost made Hermione despair.

As Kyle guessed, the girl wasn't going to listen to him at all.

I thought it would be over if I deal with it today, and I can continue my study plan tomorrow.

After all, she knew that Kyle was also very busy, and it was impossible to stare at her every day.

But he forgot that there is also a creature called a house-elf.

"No, senior! I don't have enough time to study now. Look, I'm still in good condition, enough to cope with the current study arrangement!"

After finishing speaking, the little girl looked at Kreacher with a flattering smile:

"Kreacher, you've worked very hard during the day, just take a good rest at night, don't worry about me, when the time comes, I will obediently go to sleep!"

Unfortunately, neither Kyle nor Kreacher paid any attention to her.

The little girl kept begging Kyle along the way, but until she was thrown back to her bedroom, she couldn't let Kyle let go. She could only hide in her room, scolded the dictator a few words angrily, and then prepared to wash in a dejected manner.

It's just that although she has been cursing the dictator and machismo over and over again, the corners of her mouth can't help but rise up.

There was nothing to say all night, until 8 o'clock in the morning, Kyle woke up from his sleep.

After getting up and tidying up, Kyle went straight to the restaurant.

To his surprise, Professor Snape was sitting at the dining table at this time, eating his own breakfast in a leisurely manner.

"Good morning, Professor Snape."

Kyle greeted the professor gracefully, and then sat in his seat.

The professor nodded to him in reply.

As soon as Kyle sat down, Hermione came down the stairs with a sigh of relief:
"Good morning, Professor Snape, good morning, senior."

Because of the different work and rest schedules, it is rare for the few people to have breakfast together in the old house.

So seeing the two people appearing at the dining table at the same time, the little girl was obviously surprised, but she quickly greeted them politely.

It is worth mentioning that after such a long time, the girl was finally able to get along with the professor peacefully.

Just when Kyle was about to make fun of her, the always taciturn professor took the initiative to speak:

"The [-]-eyed giant spider in the school has been completely cleaned up. You should be prepared. If there is no accident, you will officially return to school next Monday."

The little girl's expression was very calm.

If she had been able to return to Hogwarts in the past, she would have been delighted.

But now in the old house, there are also countless knowledge waiting for her to learn, which makes her look forward to Hogwarts much lower.

But thinking of seeing her good friend soon, Hermione still had a happy smile on her face.

The little girl was thinking about the reunion with her friend, and even planned the arrangement after the meeting.

She wants to check their study progress and make a review plan for them. After all, there are too many messy things this semester, and the little girl is very worried that her friends will not be able to keep up.

Unlike Hermione, who was worried like an old mother, Kyle was completely thinking about his own business.

After discussing with the portraits, he agreed that Dumbledore, that old fox, would set the time to deal with Horcruxes after school started.

After the students return to school, that old guy will definitely start an investigation on the crown immediately, forcing the Horcrux to be exposed.

Only by finding out the Horcrux in full view of the public can their planting plan be implemented smoothly, otherwise it will be difficult for them to convince the public.

So it is destined that a Horcrux will be exposed, and there is a high probability that it will be obtained by Dumbledore.

Of course Kyle would not be content to stand aside and watch the show.

When Dumbledore focused all his attention on the crown, it was suitable for Kyle to start his own actions.

No matter how wise and resourceful his old Deng is, he would never have imagined that there are actually two Horcruxes gathered in the school now.

Now that the diadem is doomed to be irretrievable, the diary must not fall into Dumbledore's hands again.

The day when Lao Dengtou shot at Guan Guan, that is when Kyle shot at the diary.

For a while, the dining table fell silent, and the three of them began to think about their own thoughts.

After breakfast, several people split up to do their own business.

The professor leaves early and returns late every day, and he is rarely seen.

Kyle was busy renovating the old house, and Hermione was busy studying her own magic. Soon, it was time to return to school.

On Monday morning, Kyle sat empty-handed in the lobby waiting for Hermione.

The little girl didn't keep her waiting for too long, and quickly walked down the stairs with only his small satchel on her back.

"Is everything packed?"

"It's packed, except for the notebook that needs to be carried with me, there are only a few unfinished books that need to be brought back to school. After all, I can come back every day, so I won't bring too many things to school."

As Hermione said, unlike other students' boarding houses, she and Kyle now treated Hogwarts like a day school.

Going back and forth between the school and the old house every day, there is absolutely no need to bring too many things back.

Hermione was full of energy at this moment.

After several days of deliberate adjustments, his complexion is much better than before, and it is finally not that sallow look.

"Senior, let's go. It's a pity that the school doesn't allow us to go there by ourselves, otherwise we can just apparate there, so we don't have to take the Hogwarts Express, and we'll waste another whole day!"

The girl had been nagging for two days since she knew she had to take the Hogwarts Express back to school.

Now that she has found her own research direction, Hermione can't wait to devote every minute to studying, no wonder she hates the school's decision so much.

For Hermione's reaction, Kyle could only smile helplessly.

There was no delay, they were ready to see each other, and they stretched out their sleeves to Kreacher at the same time.

After a while of spinning, it has already appeared at King's Cross Station.
