Chapter 897 Kyle’s Garden

“Dong dong dong…”

“Bang bang bang…”

Since the morning, students at Hogwarts have been hearing sounds coming from the direction of the Forbidden Forest from time to time.

Driven by curiosity, they couldn't help but stick their heads out of the window and look in the direction of the sound.

“Hagrid is going to build a new house?” Ron asked, rubbing his ears during the Transfiguration class.

The sound was so loud that it hurt his ears even from a distance.

"Maybe." Harry also looked out the window curiously.

Next to Hagrid's hut, a larger wooden house appeared out of thin air at some point, and the sound came from there.

“Why can’t they use magic?” Ron muttered. “I can’t even concentrate on the lecture.”

"Do you think Professor McGonagall will believe this excuse?" Hermione on the other side said expressionlessly. She lowered her head and glanced at the cactus full of holes on Ron's table.

Their class is a transformation spell, which requires the arm to be exchanged with a cactus. If it doesn't work, fingers can be used.

The content was not too difficult. Hermione succeeded in only two attempts, but Ron tried hard for one lesson and only blew up the cactus pot twice.

Simo next door was covered in mud and he didn’t want to sit next to him.

But he wasn't much better, his cactus exploded three times, and his masterpiece...the thorns that were blown away by the explosion can be seen everywhere in the classroom.

Professor McGonagall didn't want to look here, and Hermione felt that she probably wouldn't use cactus as a teaching aid anymore.

Fortunately, not long after, the bell rang.

Harry and Ron rushed out of the classroom immediately and ran straight towards the Forbidden Forest.

“Hagrid, what are you doing?” The voice came over before the person arrived.

The door of the new wooden house was opened from the inside, and Hagrid poked out his furry head.

Harry, who was running at the front, was startled and pulled out his wand reflexively.

“Hagrid, you were attacked?”

Mainly because Hagrid looked so scary. He looked ashen and gray, like a mandrake root that had just been pulled out of the soil. There were still several wounds that had not solidified on his face.

"Attack? Oh no, of course not." Hagrid said, "We were conducting a small test. The sound may have been a little louder. Sorry, it didn't disturb you."

When he spoke, there was lingering excitement in his eyes.

"Test?" Harry asked doubtfully: "Test what, magic?"

"Wait, Hagrid." Hermione came next and noticed another key word, "You just said... us? Is there anyone else here besides you?"

“It’s me.”

Kyle came out of the house.

He looked similar to Hagrid, except that he had no wounds and was dirty.

“Kyle?”

“When did you come?”

“Why are you here!”

The three of them spoke almost at the same time. Although they said different things, they all expressed surprise at Kyle's sudden appearance.

“Watch the manner in which you speak.”

Before Kyle could say anything, Hagrid couldn't help but remind him: "Kyle will be your professor soon, and you should respect him to some extent."

“Who are you talking about?”

"professor?"

“Kyle is a professor?”

They spoke again at the same time, and it was obvious that Hagrid’s news had given them quite a shock.

How is it that the classmate turned into a professor?

"Don't say that, Hagrid, things haven't been settled yet." Kyle waved his hand nonchalantly, "We are still friends now, just get along normally."

“Want to come in and take a look?” Kyle then said to them: “I might live here for a while and get myself a house.”

Harry and the other two walked into the room in a daze. At this time, they were still too immersed in the news to react.

"Kyle, are you really going to be a professor?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.

“Principal McGonagall did mention it to me.” Kyle said, “But the matter hasn’t been decided yet, so it’s just a possibility at the moment.”

“But didn’t you just graduate?” Ron muttered, “Can you also be a professor?”

"I don't know," Kyle said, "but Principal McGonagall and Director Dumbledore both think it's okay."

"Dumbledore...the school director?" Harry felt his head buzzing. "Isn't he the deputy principal? When did he become the school director again!"

The amount of information was too great and his brain couldn't process it at once.

“Oh, it’s also a recent thing.” Kyle explained.

After a while, the three of them gradually accepted the news they received from Kyle and began to take stock of their surroundings.

Different from the furniture next door that looks simple but is actually extremely luxurious, this place looks much more normal. The tables, chairs, benches, etc. are all standard styles, exactly the same as those in the common room.

Even the bed with curtains seemed to have been dragged from some dormitory.

Mediocre and nothing new, the three of them quickly lost interest.

While they were visiting, Kyle was chatting with Hagrid in the corner.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s great, it’s so pretty, it’s so alive, it’s perfect.”

"So in your opinion, being grumpy equals being energetic?" Kyle shook his head. "You'd better be careful. Just like just now, it almost made a hole in you with its tail."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Hagrid patted his chest, "As long as you can see it every day, you can open both."

“Forget it, I don’t want to go to Care of Magical Creatures for you.”

The two people's intermittent words made Harry and the others confused.

But at this moment, Hermione suddenly discovered that there was another door on the opposite wall.

“Where is that place?” she asked, pointing to the door.

“Oh, the garden,” Kyle blurted out.

“Garden?” Ron said incredulously, “You even made yourself a garden?”

"Then what's the matter?" Kyle said, "Isn't it just because you want more space when you live on the edge of the Forbidden Forest? Is there anything wrong with getting a garden for yourself?"

Ron was choked.

Because the space is big enough, I built a garden for myself. If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

“Can we go and have a look?”

“No,” Kyle said.

“Thank you...ah? What did you say?”

"No, you can't go." Kyle said again: "The garden is not finished yet. It is a mess and there is nothing to see. You can come back after it is finished."

The three eager little wizards all looked disappointed.

Just seeing them like this, Hagrid's sympathy suddenly rose.

"It's okay, Kyle, just looking." He whispered: "There's nothing there anyway."

Although Hagrid tried his best to keep his voice down, everyone in the room still heard it and looked at Kyle expectantly.

They had just sensed that something was wrong with Hagrid today. Apart from the wounds that appeared on his body for unknown reasons, he was also a little too excited, and his eyes were always shining as brightly as light bulbs.

According to Harry's understanding of Hagrid, he would only show this expression when he saw those beasts with fangs and claws.

For example, the three-headed dog in the first grade, or the fire dragon in the Triwizard Tournament.

But this house is too ordinary, and there is not even a fox, let alone a beast, so the problem must lie in the so-called back garden.

Harry became more and more curious as he thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at the door.

“That’s...okay.”

Seeing Hagrid say this, Kyle thought about it and agreed.

There is really nothing there now.

Moreover, Harry and the others are not peaceful people. They are notoriously curious. If he refuses again, he might come over at night wearing an invisibility cloak.

Let them take a look.

Kyle reached out and opened the door, and several people couldn't wait to walk in.

"oh!"

As soon as they saw the scene at the door, the three of them opened their mouths in surprise.

Harry twitched the corners of his lips, looked at Kyle who was following him and asked, "Is this the...garden you were talking about?"

“Yes.” Kyle nodded.

“Are you serious?”

“What, what’s the problem?”

Harry stopped talking.

This is clearly the Forbidden Forest. You can even see Hagrid's wooden house when you turn around. Kyle just opened a back door in the house that leads directly to the Forbidden Forest.

Treat the entire Forbidden Forest as a garden?

It’s really…

Harry felt that he was being played, but for a moment, he lost interest. The same goes for Ron next to him.

It's just the Forbidden Forest. It's not like they've never been there before. Is it necessary to be so mysterious?

On the contrary, Hermione squinted her eyes and stared carefully at a tree not far away.

It is not unusual to have trees in the Forbidden Forest, but that tree was broken, which was a bit strange. What was even more strange were the three huge gaps on it.

The gaps are very neat, as if they were scratched out by some kind of creature.

But what creature can cut off a tree?

Although the trees on the edge of the Forbidden Forest are not very thick and not as thick as those deep in the Forbidden Forest, they are still scary enough.

No, not one, but five.

Hermione glanced around, and visible to the naked eye, there were five trees that had fallen to the ground in a mess. Three of them had the same gap on them, and the remaining two...the broken parts were jagged, as if they had been hit. Broken.

Wait a minute, it broke...

"Hagrid." Hermione frowned, "You didn't bring Grawp here."

“Um…no…” Hagrid was at a loss and hesitated, “I didn’t bring him.”

Grawp is Hagrid's younger brother, a stunted pure-blood giant who is only sixteen feet tall.

Hagrid brought him back from the giant tribe and raised him in the Forbidden Forest and took good care of him. At the same time, he also taught him the etiquette and rules of wizards.

How to put it this way, although Grawp's size is somewhat stunted, his brain perfectly meets the standards of a giant.

Hagrid wanted him to understand the complex rules and etiquette of wizards and normal humans, which was really difficult for the giant.

But Hagrid's actions only strengthened Hermione's thoughts.

These trees must have been broken by Graup, and only giants have this kind of power.

"Listen to me, Hagrid." She said patiently: "I know that Grawp is a sensible child, but others don't know. Everyone is afraid of giants. If they see Grawp, it will definitely cause chaos. of."

"I..." Hagrid wanted to explain, but after hesitating for a moment, he closed his mouth and said instead: "I have been teaching Grawp how to speak English, and he has almost learned it."

Harry and Ron immediately looked suspicious... It was like hearing a five-legged monster learning to knit a sweater. It was incredible.

Just looking at Hagrid's extremely confused look, Harry decided to come out and smooth things over.

"Okay, Hermione, I think Hagrid knows what to do. It's time for us to go back to the castle."

"Yeah." Hagrid also joined in, "It's lunch time soon. You guys should go back quickly."

The three of them returned the same way and left the new wooden house. As soon as they came outside, the door behind them was slammed shut.

“Something’s wrong.” Ron muttered, “Do you think there’s anything strange about it?”

"Of course it's strange," Hermione said. "Hagrid would never take Grawp to the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

“That’s not it.” Ron shook his head, “I can’t tell what’s wrong, but it just feels different than usual.”

“Hagrid kicked us out.” Harry frowned.

“Yes, that’s right, that’s it.” Ron slapped his thigh suddenly and finally understood.

When they came here before, Hagrid would always warmly invite us to stay for dinner. Although the food he made was a bit...well, it's hard to put into words, but he was very enthusiastic every time.

But this time, Hagrid actually suggested that they should return to the castle.

"Maybe it's because she's afraid Hermione will continue talking." Harry said with some uncertainty.

He knew only too well how annoying the serious Hermione was.

In any case, Hagrid is definitely fine, and it is impossible for a Death Eater to disguise himself as a hybrid giant.

"Forget it, let's go back first." Harry said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, there is plenty of time, we can just make another trip."

The remaining two people nodded and agreed.

Ron didn't care, but Hermione had no other choice.

After all, she didn’t see Grawp nearby, so everything was just speculation. If she came early tomorrow and tried to trick Hagrid, maybe he would have spilled the beans.

They have used this method more than once, and it has worked every time.

The three of them started to return the same way.

Hermione turned her head and glanced at the Forbidden Forest, trying to find if there were any traces of giants nearby.

But just this turn of her head caused her to stand still on the spot.

“Hermione?” Harry asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Hurry up,” Ron urged. “After lunch time, we can only eat dry bread.”

"Those trees... don't you think it's strange?" said Hermione.

"Tree?" Ron raised his head, "Isn't it normal for there to be trees in the Forbidden Forest? You couldn't be stupid because of reading~www.readwn.com~ It doesn't make people stupid, but you must be." Hermione She glared at him with some irritation: "Didn't you notice? The trees we saw are all intact."

After being reminded by her, Harry also realized that something was wrong.

When they were in the "garden" before, several trees were broken, but now, the trees around the wooden house are all intact, and there are no signs of breakage at all.

"What's the matter? Maybe Kyle fixed it." Ron said nonchalantly: "It's not a difficult thing for him."

"Fixed...did you hear the noise?" Hermione became even more irritated, "It's only been about a minute since we came out. Even Professor Dumbledore couldn't have made five trees in such a short time. Let's get back to the status quo.

“And it’s so close, did you hear the branches swaying?”

"No." Harry shook his head, realizing what Hermione meant.

Perhaps it is possible that Kyle can restore the five trees to their original state in a short time, but it cannot be so quiet. They must be able to hear the sound of branches and leaves shaking during the process.

But from just now until now, the surroundings have been quiet, not even the sound of insects.

By the way, there is also the sound of insects.

There are a lot of bugs living on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. In the past, every time they came to find Hagrid, they could hear the cries of bugs and the flapping of fairies' wings.

But this time there was no sound, it was eerily quiet, as if all the creatures around him had disappeared.

“Let’s go and take a look!” Hermione made a quick decision, turned around and walked back.

Harry followed closely behind.

Ron glanced regretfully in the direction of the castle auditorium, sighed, and followed.

Hermione did not knock on the door, but walked directly around to the back of the wooden house, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

There is no door or anything behind the wooden house.

But they clearly entered the Forbidden Forest from that direction just now, how could the door disappear?

Hermione, who did not believe in evil, continued to walk forward, wanting to get a closer look.

However, five minutes passed, and there was still a short distance between her and the wooden house. No matter how she walked, ran, or changed direction, she could never get close to the wooden house.

If Hermione hadn't just come out of it, she might even have thought she saw a mirage.

"Impossible...it's impossible..." Hermione murmured.

At the same time, in the garden of the wooden house.

Hagrid looked at the three people milling around, "It seems they have discovered your arrangement."

"It's normal." Kyle waved his wand and reconnected the broken trees. "Harry and Ron will definitely not notice these details, but Hermione may not. She has always been very careful."

“Have you figured out how to explain it?”

"Why should I explain?" Kyle said, "Right now I am a professor, why should I explain to three students? If you hadn't just spoken for them, I wouldn't have let them in."

“…Sorry,” Hagrid said.

"It's okay." Kyle waved his hand, "If my guess is correct, they will knock on the door soon..."

“Bang bang bang!”

“Look.” Kyle spread his hands.

“Do you want to open it?”

"No, just pretend you didn't hear it." Kyle said to himself: "The preliminary test of the garden has not been completed yet, do you want to continue? Let's wait until lunch is over."

Hearing what Kyle said, Hagrid immediately forgot about Harry and everything else, and rubbed his hands vigorously.

“Is there any need to say that? Of course I will continue!”

“Then please be safe and don’t come any closer.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry!”

Under Hagrid’s extremely expectant gaze, Kyle opened the box.

A black fire dragon suddenly jumped out, roared and flicked its tail at Kyle.

Kyle had long expected such an incident and unhurriedly flashed a shield.

The shield and the dragon's tail collided together, motionless.

Kyle sneered and raised his **** at the Hungarian Horntail.

That’s it?

Hungarian Horntail exploded and swung its tail again.

On the wall of the wooden house, a string of golden magic symbols lit up.
