Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

The process of persuading the civet cat was very easy. Kyle just asked a question and guaranteed that there would be dried meat to eat every day. Shaqir jumped onto his shoulder without looking back. The whole process was smooth and there was no pause at all.

Lockneil's mouth twitched as he watched from behind.

Although he had already agreed, he still felt a little nervous after seeing the scene in front of him. Even if Shaqir hesitated... people who didn't know would think it was raised by Kyle.

So Lockneir simply closed the door and pretended not to see it.

On the other side, Kyle, who had a new partner, happily returned to the magic fountain and found Kanna, who was sitting on a chair beside the fountain and writing something.

"What are you writing?" he asked as he walked over.

"Some potion combinations that might be useful." Kanna put away the parchment. "Are you done talking?"

"Yeah." Kyle smiled unconsciously, "I have to say, this time I really gained a lot."

He briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon, and Kanna was also surprised.

"That's a civet cat, a rare and magical animal unique to France. I'm giving it to you?"

"It's lent to me," Kyle corrected, "and I have to return it later."

"That's surprising too." Connor said, "Although I haven't been in France for long, I've heard about the status of civets in France... The bar next to Gringotts is called the Civet Bar.

"But this kind of magical animal only appears in the Ministry of Magic. Ordinary wizards are forbidden to keep it. It seems that this Locknier is also a great professor."

"Yeah," Kyle said, "If you don't have some real skills, you won't be invited by the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve."

"Fire Dragon Sanctuary?"

"Ah, that was a few years ago," Kyle explained. "It was before our fourth grade started, and that was also the first time I met Professor Lockneil," Kyle said casually.

Connor nodded and followed Kyle towards the restaurant.

The dinner was not as luxurious and formal as the first day, but it was also very sumptuous.

"It's worthy of being called France." Connor took a bite of the beef wrapped in bread. "Even though they are both steaks, I think they taste better than the ones in Hogwarts. I've gained weight in the past two days."

Kyle stared at his plate, saying nothing, not even thinking of an opinion…just hearing nothing.

Because he had something on his mind, he didn't stay here for too long. After hurriedly eating a few ham sandwiches, he trotted all the way to the door of the alchemy classroom.

Because classes for the past two days were postponed and today was Saturday, there was no one in the corridor in front of the alchemy classroom.

When Kyle rushed over, the door was still locked. There was a light on the door, flashing red, exactly the same as when he came out three days ago.

Because he didn't know the exact time, Kyle didn't go back. Instead, he leaned on the railing and took out a book to read.

As time passed, the sounds of playing and fighting around became quieter and quieter, and at a certain point disappeared completely, and the alchemical elevator no longer operated.

The empty corridor immediately fell into an eerie silence, with only the humming sound of the wind blowing through the corridor and the faint ticking sound when the red light on the wall flickered.

Kyle closed the book in his hand and checked the time.

Before I knew it, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

No wonder it was so quiet around. After all, even Beauxbatons would not allow students to wander around the school at this time.

Kyle stretched his stiff arms and looked at the door of the alchemy classroom again...it was still closed.

Maybe Professor Victor meant that it would take three days, not that it could be completed on the third day.

Kyle thought to himself.

Just when he was hesitating whether to go back first and come back tomorrow morning, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Professor Victor came out.

"You're here. I was just wondering whether I should call you." His voice was a little weak.

Working for three consecutive days might not be comfortable even with the support of magic, but looking at Professor Victor, he seemed to be accustomed to this level of work.

"Would you like something to eat first?" Kyle asked.

"Don't worry, it's only three days. The vitality potion you drank before is enough." Victor waved his hand, "Come in with me. You still have a lot of things to do later."

Kyle followed him into the classroom, and as soon as he entered, Victor picked up the golden pocket watch on the table and put it in his hand.

The cracks on it have all disappeared, and the originally dull color has become bright again.

"I helped draw the framework of the rune, which took a little longer." Victor took off the strange gloves and carefully put them into a metal box, and placed his glasses on the table.

"It should save some time when you give it to Nico."

"Thank you," Kyle said sincerely.

“No need.” Victor waved his hand. “Since the things have been sent to me, it means someone wants my help. I can’t just turn a blind eye.

"Albus is one of the few alchemy masters left today. It's a pity that he is lost in time."

Just as Kyle was about to say something, Victor shook his head and said:

"Okay, I found some interesting things when I was repairing the time turner this time. I need to study them. You go back first and I'll go find Nico tomorrow."

"I want to go now," Kyle said.

Fox had returned from Devon two days ago with a reply from Nico, and he could come over any time now.

"Don't worry." Victor said, "Nike still needs to do some preparations, which will take about five days. Even if you go now, you will still have to wait. Since we have to wait anyway, isn't it the same wherever we go?"

"Okay then." Kyle nodded.

Victor closed the door again, anxious to try out his new idea, but this time, there was no red light on the wall.

……

Although Victor felt that he could stay here for a while longer, Kyle insisted on leaving Beauxbatons the next day.

After Ms. Maxim tried to persuade her to stay several times, she no longer insisted.

Just like when they came, it was Furong who sent them back.

After they walked out of the school gate, she spread the flying carpet on a large rock.

"Come up, where do you want to go next?" Fleur said, "How about going to see the Elf Dance Company's performance? It's in Bagneres-de-Bigorre, not far away."

"No, you guys go ahead." Kyle shook his head and said, "I have something to do. I have to go back to England now."

"Go back now..." Furong asked doubtfully, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Kanna looked at him too.

"I also want to stay a little longer, but I heard something from Professor Victor that was quite urgent, so..."

"It's okay." Kanna chuckled, "I just happened to have a new potion formula that needed to be verified, and I didn't want to run around anymore."

She walked forward and hugged Kyle, "Be sure to be safe when you go back."

"The same goes for you. If you encounter any trouble, just come to Ms. Maxime." Kyle said, "Don't be afraid of owing favors. You can ask Professor Dumbledore to pay you back later."

Connor was amused by his words and said unhappily, "Does Professor Dumbledore know what you said?"

"I don't know, but he wouldn't mind," Kyle said.

"Hey, you two are underestimating me." Furong said with a straight face, "This is France. Even if there is any trouble, I can easily solve it."

"Thank you for your help. When you and Bill get married, I will give you a big gift."

"You said it, what if I'm not satisfied?" Furong raised her eyebrows, "I have very high standards."

"Then change one until you are satisfied."

Kyle smiled and then held out his hand.

Before Furong could react to what he meant, a large golden-red bird dropped from the sky. Kyle grabbed its tail feathers and it disappeared with a bang.

"Oh!"

Furong was startled and couldn't help but look up, "Kanna, did you see that just now?"

"Yeah, I saw it." Connor said softly, looking at the place where Kyle disappeared.

"What is that? Could it be a phoenix?"

"It's the Phoenix, named Fox." Connor said, "Remember? That's how Kyle came to France before."

"How convenient." Fleur was a little envious, but it was not because of the Phoenix's talent for Apparition that allowed it to avoid investigation by the Ministry of Magic, but because that magical animal was so beautiful.

Its red-gold feathers shone in the sun like gold in flames, and its chirping, though brief, was more beautiful than the grandest performance in the Magic Opera.

"Do you think I can find the phoenix too?" Furong looked at Kanna with some anticipation.

"Well... I think so." Kanna didn't want to break her friend's fantasy, so she stammered, "The magic world is so big, there will always be opportunities."

"It would be great if it were possible." Furong looked up at the sky for a while, trying to find any trace of the phoenix. After a few minutes, she gave up and took the flying carpet back to the shopping street with Kanna.

"What are you going to do next?" she asked.

Kanna thought about it and said, "Let's do it the same as before."

"But didn't you say you wanted to test a new potion formula?"

"That can be done anytime, there's no rush."

"But you've been brewing a lot of potions these days." Furong turned around, "I think it would be okay to relax and do something else."

"Not enough." Kanna shook her head gently, "I think it would be better to prepare a little more."

……

at the same time.

Kyle, who left Beauxbatons, was also taken by Fox to Nico Manor in Devon.

As soon as he landed, the house-elf Tata ran over quickly.

"The master told me to wait here for the gentleman."

"Thank you for your help." Kyle patted his dizzy forehead, "Where's Nico?"

"The master is in the alchemy room." Tata said, "I will take you there right away."

A man and an elf walked into the manor. Kyle didn't know if it was an illusion, but it felt like he walked through the huge courtyard very quickly this time.

But he didn't care about it at this time.

Tata took Kyle into a room to the right of the foyer, where the golden cup and locket had been placed.

Here Nico was, staring at a red cauldron that contained a golden potion, but it was bubbling with blue air.

"I thought you wouldn't be here for two days." Nico looked up. "Didn't Victor tell you that I needed some time to prepare first?"

"I did." Kyle nodded, "But I think it's better to come as soon as possible, so I can help a little bit."

"Although this may be discouraging to you, Kyle, I can handle these tasks by myself. You really can't help."

"Did you bring the things?" Nico asked, extending his hand.

"I have it." Kyle quickly took out the time converter with the repaired shell.

"Ah, it's Victor's work." Nico looked it up and down and nodded with satisfaction. "Only he can do it so meticulously. It looks like new."

"You can't do it either?"

"It was possible three hundred years ago, but now, he does it better than me." Nico stretched out his dead branch-like hand and tapped the time converter.

The golden shell separated automatically, and the five hands detached one by one in order of length, falling neatly on the velvet cushion next to it.

Then, Kyle saw a flash before his eyes and he appeared in the living room.

"Sir, this is what the master prepared for you." Tata stood by holding a bottle of red potion, as if he had guessed that Kyle would appear here.

"What is this?" Kyle asked.

"Tata doesn't know." The elf said, "The master only told Tata that this would help the master."

"Um... okay." Kyle thought about it for a moment, then picked up the potion and drank the liquid in it.

The taste is pretty good, it has a raspberry flavor, like juice.

But this is definitely not juice. As for what it is, we can only wait for Nico to come out and ask him.

Kyle handed the empty bottle back to Tata, who took it and leaned over and said, "Well sir, Tata will go and prepare lunch."

"Wait a minute." Kyle called him, "Isn't Madame Perenelle here?"

"The hostess went to France to watch the Elf Dance Troupe's performance and will be back in about two weeks," said Tata.

Elf Dance Troupe?

Kyle always felt that the name sounded familiar, and he immediately remembered that this was the place recommended by Furong. She also said that today was the dance troupe's performance day.

If he had agreed to Fleur's proposal at that time, he might still be able to see Madame Perenelle there now.

After leaving Beauxbatons, Kyle settled down in Nico Manor again.

But unlike the hustle and bustle at school, he was the only one here.

Kyle originally wanted to cultivate a relationship with the civet cat Shakir, but unfortunately, Shakir immediately became angry as soon as he let it out. Its big blue eyes nervously looked around every corner, and it was extremely uneasy.

It seemed as if there was something terrible around, constantly irritating its nerves.

Kyle felt that this should be some protective magic surrounding the manor, just like the alchemical fire dragon at the door. In a sense, this place was indeed full of dangers.

In order to let the civet cat relax a little, Kyle had to put it back into the box, the room where he stored his belongings and temporarily rested.

There was no other way. There were fire dragons, basilisks, and leopards in his box... These would also make the civet cat with keen perception get angry. Only that room could make Shaqir feel a little more at ease.

Kyle couldn't use it for the time being anyway, so he gave it to him.

……

A few more days passed like this.

When Kyle was reading a book, he suddenly felt the light dim. When he looked up, he found himself in the alchemy room again.

"Are you finished?" he asked, quickly closing the book in his hand.

"Yes, but it's just necessary preparation work, not a formal repair," said Nico.

Kyle noticed that the potion in the cauldron had changed from gold to dark blue.

Nico pulled out a small bottle and waved it in front of him.

"Do you remember what this is?"

"The potion that Kanna brought earlier that can resurrect people?" Kyle asked tentatively.

The effect of this magic potion was so powerful that he couldn't help but take a few more glances at it and remember it very clearly.

"That's right, Phoenix Potion." Nico opened the bottle and poured the contents into the crucible. The dark blue potion immediately turned gold and formed a small vortex.

"Originally, the defects of this time converter could not be eliminated, but the appearance of this thing has changed things." Nico sighed: "After all, Mr. Salazar Slytherin wrote the magic runes with the Phoenix Potion."

Nico waved the wand lightly, and the potion in the crucible turned into a golden ribbon, floating to the opened time converter, and automatically formed golden magic runes.

"This process will take some time." Nico looked at Kyle again, "The reason I asked you to come this time is because we are still lacking another material to repair the Philosopher's Stone that has completely lost its magic power."

"What is it?" Kyle asked.

"The ashes left behind after the phoenix is ​​reborn."
