After entering March, the weather gradually became warmer, and the ice on the Black Lake that had lasted for a whole winter melted last week.

Recently, the giant squid often pokes its head and tentacles out from the bottom of the lake to enjoy the warm sunbathing on the water surface.

This also attracted many students to watch.

Although many people who have read "Hogwarts, A History" know that there is a giant squid in the Black Lake, because it rarely appears, other colleges rarely have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, except for Slytherin, whose common room is at the bottom of the lake.

Everyone was very curious for a moment, especially the freshmen who had just enrolled, who ran there as soon as the get out of class was over.

Somehow, the Black Lake has become a new check-in destination at Hogwarts.

But Kyle didn't join in the fun. He had seen it once at the end of last year. To put it bluntly, that thing was no different from an ordinary squid, except that it was a little bigger.

Besides, you will get hungry easily after watching for a long time, and there is no point in going there again since you can’t get an iron plate.

He might as well read a couple more books with this time.

After several months of study, he has almost mastered the Traceless Stretching Spell.

Although I am not very proficient yet, and the room for change each time is not as big as I imagined, I have finally taken the most difficult first step. All I have to do from now on is practice more.

Kyle planned to completely remodel his trunk before fifth year... Not to say it was the same as Newt's, but at least it had to be able to hold half of the Forbidden Forest.

He has acquired quite a lot of things in the past two years. The plants in the flower garden alone can fill up the current box. In addition, he also needs to divide the territories for the giant monsters and the moon beasts... and who knows when new members will join in the future. If the box is too small, it will not be enough.

Just do it...

After that, Kyle ran to the box almost every time he had time.

With his overtime efforts, he finally completed the first expansion of the box on the third day of the Easter holiday.

The space inside is nearly twice as large as it was at the beginning.

Kyle looked at his results and nodded with satisfaction. He now felt like he had traded his single room for a villa.

And the previous problems were solved at once.

For example, the giant monster's range of activities is much larger.

We can also start preparing for the new home of the Moon Crazy Beasts... Building a cave suitable for them to live in requires a lot of space. We couldn't find a place before, but now it's just right.

The only problem is that after the expansion, the surrounding area has become much more empty and seems a bit monotonous...but this is easy to solve.

The next day, Kyle headed to the Forbidden Forest early in the morning.

He planned to take advantage of the holidays to find an opportunity to move two mountain pear trees into the box.

Of course, it would not work during the day as it would be easy for Hagrid to catch him, so he was just going to scout the area this time... first determine the target and then take action at night.

A few minutes later, Kyle arrived at Hagrid's hut, but strangely, the door was closed and all the curtains were drawn tightly. Even the top small window was covered with a copy of the Daily Prophet.

Kyle went up and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Hagrid's voice came from inside, sounding a little nervous.

Then the door was opened a little.

"Huh... it's Kyle, how did you find time to come here?"

"I need your help with something." Kyle said, "Can I come in?"

"Of course..." Hagrid stepped aside to let Kyle in, then quickly turned around and closed the door.

The cabin was like a sauna, stiflingly hot, even though it was a warm, sunny day and there was a roaring fire in the fireplace.

And besides Hagrid, there were three other people in the room.

Harry, Ron, Hermione.

"Hello." Kyle greeted.

"Hello, sir..."

"Good morning."

The three of them stood in front of the fireplace and replied nervously.

They stood between Kyle and the fireplace like a wall, their eyes darting left and right as they spoke. Anyone could tell from their looks that there was something wrong with the fireplace.

Fortunately, Hagrid came over at this time.

He brought Kyle a cup of tea from a copper kettle and served him stoat sandwiches.

"You just said you needed my help?"

"Yes." Kyle turned his eyes away from the fireplace and said, "I want to go to the forbidden forest to find some mountain pear branches. Is that okay?"

"Or is it for making one of those amulets?" asked Hagrid.

He had also heard about the "Pass Every Exam Charm" that Kyle made last year that became popular throughout Hogwarts.

Kyle nodded.

"The final exams are in two months, so we have to prepare in advance."

"That's easy." Hagrid said with a smile, "I'll send you as many as you need tomorrow."

"Don't bother. I can pick it myself."

"But..." Hagrid frowned, obviously not wanting Kyle to go to the Forbidden Forest.

"Don't worry, Hagrid. The rowan tree is on the edge of the forbidden forest. It will definitely not be dangerous."

Kyle continued, "And I need to try to pick branches with the right shape, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with them later."

"Well... okay then!"

Hagrid thought for a moment, then added, "But you can only find it on the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

"No problem." Kyle originally thought so too, so he naturally had no objection.

Then Hagrid stood up and prepared to go out.

"Hagrid, are you coming with us?" Kyle asked.

"Of course, I can't let you go to the Forbidden Forest alone," said Hagrid, "even just to the very edge."

"What about the dragon egg?" Kyle asked, "Are you confident in leaving it to Potter and the others to take care of?"

"It's okay. Dragon eggs are not that fragile. Just be careful not to let the fireplace..."

"etc……"

Before Hagrid could finish his words, Hermione's surprised voice came from the side.

"Kyle, how do you know there are dragon eggs here? You can't see any there."

After hearing her words, Hagrid was also stunned... Yes, how did Kyle know that he had dragon eggs.

"You don't think it's okay to block the fireplace."

Kyle smiled and said, "I suggest you read the latest edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It is clearly written in the chapter about dragons that dragon eggs emit a special sulfur smell in the flames, but it is not very obvious and it is easy to be ignored when mixed in with the flames."

"If you don't believe me, you can look back at Yaya. I think it's about to faint."

Kyle pointed to the side and saw the black hound raised by Hagrid, who was lying in the corner with his head hunched. He looked weak and completely different from the dog that pounced on people before.

"Oh, Fang, what's wrong with you!"

Hagrid let out a strange cry, ran over, picked up Fang and rushed out of the house.
