And Hermione remembered that during the first Charms class, someone asked Professor Flitwick if it was possible to change the color of the Illumination Spell so that the wand would emit red light.

At that time, Professor Flitwick's answer was no, and he said that it would change the nature of the spell. Even if it could be done, the spell would be completely different and could only be considered another kind of spell.

Hermione really found it hard to believe that Kyle could create new spells in his second year.

She looked up in the direction of Hufflepuff and saw Kyle chatting and laughing with the others.

"Is the gap between wizards really that big?" Hermione sighed somewhat frustratedly.

The banquet started soon. Because she was so focused on this matter, Hermione didn't even notice what she ate.

Once she almost put the candle hanging on the table into her mouth, but fortunately Harry noticed it early and stopped her in time.

…

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone packed their luggage early the next morning and prepared to take the train to King's Cross Station.

Mikel and Ryan also went back. Today is the Christmas holiday, and Kyle is still the only one left in the dormitory.

I'm used to the noisy mornings every day, and now that it's suddenly quiet, I'm still not used to it.

As there were few people, Kyle did not go to the auditorium for breakfast. Instead, he went to the kitchen to get some food and had a few bites in the common room.

When Connor arrived at the common room, Kyle was studying a stone.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Kanna leaned over to take a look out of curiosity.

At this moment, Kyle was holding a magic wand and gesturing at a white pebble on the table in front of him.

Every time he waved his wand, bits of it fell off the pebbles.

"Are you carving stone?" Kanna asked puzzledly.

"I guess so." Kyle stared at the pebble carefully and said without turning his head.

Kanna watched from the side for a while, but still couldn't figure out what Kyle was carving.

Not only is one end bigger than the other, but there is also no regular pattern to the pattern. It looks like a bunch of rubble picked up at random.

Kyle worked so hard for so long, and this is all he got? Kanna felt like she had finally discovered something Kyle wasn't good at.

She patted Kyle's shoulder comfortingly, then left the common room, suppressing a smile.

Although she wanted to stay here and watch Kyle make a fool of himself, unfortunately, she had to hurry and finish her homework.

The amount of homework for second graders is much greater than last year, and the three days are still very tight.

On the other side, Kyle, who was concentrating on fiddling with the stones, did not notice that Kanna had left.

He carefully ground off some of the excess parts based on his memory, then he picked it up with satisfaction and looked at it in the sunlight.

"Perfect, done!"

Kyle wiped off the stone dust, then picked up the wand and tapped it lightly.

In just a blink of an eye, the color of the pebbles in his hand turned into a crystal clear red, sparkling in the sunlight, looking like rubies.

Kyle stood up from the sofa, rubbed his wrist and smiled: "How is it, beautiful, right... um, where is the person?"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Kanna was no longer in the lounge.

"You're doing your homework so early?"

Kyle shook his head and went back to the dorm to get his suitcase.

Because the last time he came out of the box, Kyle did not deliberately lock the door to the passage. As soon as he opened it a crack, a furry black shadow suddenly jumped out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Kyle was not panicked at all. He calmly took out the ruby ​​and shook it, while counting silently in his mind.

“One…two…”

A small furry creature was clinging to his arm, staring at the ruby.

That was the Niffler he brought from Newt, and Kyle had kept it locked in a box all this time because he was worried that it would cause a large-scale theft at Hogwarts.

It just so happens that it’s Christmas holiday now, so when there are fewer people in the castle, we can let it out and play for a while.

After several months, Sniff has grown several sizes larger than before, and its fur has turned completely black. It looks like a moving Bludger.

However, this "Blurred Ball" has been polished.

Kyle used his free hand to pull the Niffler off his arm, but even so, it kept staring at the ruby ​​and waved its short legs in the air.

"You run pretty fast. No wonder Newt looks for you guys every day."

Kyle scratched Sniff's chin and smiled, "How is it, do you like it?"

Sniff nodded repeatedly, pointed at the ruby, and looked at Kyle with longing.

"You really have good taste. If you like it, take a look at it more."

After Kyle finished speaking, the Niffler in his hand inexplicably became quiet for a moment, then began to struggle even more violently, howling at the same time.

That voice sounded so aggrieved.

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I say I would give it to you?"

Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "You may be young, but you have a lot of ideas. This thing is the Philosopher's Stone. I still have a use for it. Just take a look at it."

...The stone created by magic is called the Philosopher's Stone, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But Sniff didn't care about all that. It only knew that the stone was the shiniest thing it had ever seen.

It reached into its pocket and quickly pulled out a handful of small odds and ends.

A button, a piece of broken glass, some shiny candy wrappers, a few Sickles, and a... gold Galleon.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find the Galleons I put in my pocket that day. Turns out you took them away." Kyle rubbed the little guy's head.

He had indeed been here a few days ago, but he didn't notice when the little guy took the Galleon away.

I really don't feel anything at all.

And that button... He had asked the house-elves to use this type of button on the clothes he made for the troll.

How did this little guy get it down?

Sniff struggled for a moment, then handed them all to Kyle with a look of heartache.

Kyle laughed and said, "Are you going to exchange with me?"

Sniff nodded.

"Sorry, I refuse. My things are very precious. Even if all of these were added together, it wouldn't be enough."

Sniff struggled again and let out a dissatisfied scream.

But Kyle just shook his head firmly and threw it away.

A moment later, it ran over and pounced on Kyle's arm.

Kyle throws it again, and it comes again...

In the end, Kyle even tied a rope to the rock and played a game of Niffler fishing in the dormitory.

You know what, this is much more interesting than fishing.
