The entry requirements for Apparition were not too difficult, and with Kyle's unexpected learning speed, he had finished teaching everything in just one afternoon.

There is no need to say the rest...

After Kyle gradually got used to the discomfort caused by Apparition, Chris found that he could no longer maintain his identity as the only "therapist".

For two whole days, Kyle did not split himself again, and accordingly, the amount of white fresh essence in his bottle did not decrease at all.

If this continues, won’t these three Galleons be wasted?

In the spirit of thrift and saving, on the third day, Chris increased the difficulty for Kyle. Not only did he set the target location farther away, but he also shortened the interval between each apparition.

Sometimes Kyle had to Apparate again before he even had time to catch his breath.

And he couldn't refute the reasons Chris gave.

"Apparition is a spell that requires a lot of practice, especially high-frequency repetitive practice, which can definitely make you more efficient with less effort!"

Kyle felt that what Chris said was wrong, but it seemed to make sense...

There was no other way, he could only disappear and reappear again and again... and the frequency was getting faster and faster.

The hillside above St. Catchpole was crackling like firecrackers.

On the fifth day...

On a small hill in the north, Luna was watering the hydrangeas outside the house, and would occasionally suddenly dive into the flowers...

"What are you looking for?" asked Mr. Lovegood.

"Lady flies!" said Luna. "I saw them just now, on the petals."

"Oh, then you should be more careful..."

“Bang!”

Before Mr. Lovegood could finish his words, a sound like a firecracker explosion broke the warm scene between father and daughter.

He suddenly appeared in front of them.

This was nothing, after all, this was not Kyle's first time here.

But what was horrifying was that Kyle in front of him was missing half an arm, looked exhausted, and his clothes were tattered.

"Someone is hunting this kid..." Mr. Lovegood thought subconsciously.

In broad daylight, in St. Catchpole Village, hunting down a student who hadn't even graduated yet... How arrogant! This is not twelve years ago! But before he could draw his wand...

“Bang!”

There was another pop, and Chris came too.

He skillfully pressed half of his arm on Kyle's wound, then quickly smeared a circle of white fresh essence on it.

"Chris, what are you doing..." Mr. Lovegood asked in confusion.

"Oh, Xenophilius, why are you at home..." Chris stammered, "No, I mean, didn't you take Luna to Northumberland?"

"The Scimitar-Horned Snorlax there has left." Luna said, looking up.

"Yes, we just got back an hour ago."

Mr. Lovegood nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "Are you...teaching Kyle how to Apparate? I remember he is only fourteen years old this year..."

After the initial shock, he has basically reacted now.

The familiar explosion just now, and the arm that was broken and then reconnected, clearly showed signs of separation.

This can only be Apparition.

"Actually, we just... just... um, okay, that's right, can you keep it a secret for us, Xenophilius..."

Chris sighed and whispered, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't prepared any gifts for the people from the Romanian Ministry of Magic. What do you think of an unconventional magazine?"

"Like... The Daily Prophet?"

“No, that’s too formal.” Chris shook his head. “I think The Quibbler is good.”

"Ahem..." Mr. Lovegood suddenly cleared his throat and turned his head to the side, "Luna, I think there must be a group of fairies hiding in our garden. They are making me hallucinate."

Luna blinked, "Dad, fairy elves can't make people hallucinate."

"Perhaps something has changed in one of them..."

While they were talking, Chris took Kyle and quickly left the hill.

Because they had already practiced for five hours and had just been discovered, Chris simply ended today's special training.

The sky gradually darkened.

After returning home, Kyle moved his newly reattached arm and asked, "Is it really okay to bring The Quibbler as a gift to people in Romania?"

What can I say about this magazine? The content inside is really... well, let's just say it's ahead of its time.

Using a magazine like this as a gift... wouldn't the Romanian Ministry of Magic really consider this a provocation?

"That's okay." Chris waved his hand and said, "Most of them can't understand it anyway, and some of the ideas in that magazine should be quite interesting to people from other countries."

By the sixth day, Kyle's arm was completely fine, but he was forced to stop practicing Apparition.

The main thing is that Diana came back and happened to witness the entire process of their training.

Diana made the excuse of going to Diagon Alley to buy some things, and left with Chris' arm around her with a smile on her face.

And then... nothing happened.

Anyway, she came back alone in the end, and told Kyle that Chris decided to stay in the department for a few days because of his busy work, and would not be coming home for dinner recently.

As for why Chris took a leave and went back to the department... Kyle looked at Diana who was still angry and didn't dare to ask.

…

July is over quickly.

On his birthday, Kyle received many gifts, among which Fred and George gave him something similar to a glass spinning top.

There are two more notes below.

“Happy birthday, Kyle.

It’s a pocket mirror that spins and lights up if there’s someone suspicious around. We’ve tested it and it works great.”

"The only downside is that it's not very effective. Yesterday a beetle crawled into Bill's soup and it kept flashing... even though the beetle crawled into the soup on its own.

Oh, and Percy is Head Boy, we're all very happy for him and are going to give him a new badge."

Kyle curled his lips. He didn't believe a word the Weasley brothers said.

What kind of stupid beetle would crawl into the soup by itself? Those two definitely helped 98 percent of the time... and Percy's Head Boy badge is probably in trouble too.

Kyle put the pocket mirror aside and picked up Hagrid's gift.

Not surprisingly, it was a book.

The Monster Book of Monsters

As soon as Kyle took it out, the book suddenly stood up and crawled quickly across the floor sideways like some weird crab.

This is also the most special thing about this book, because due to some special magic, it looks like it is alive.

But the solution is simple: touch the spine of the book, or...

"The force is loose and the energy is released!"

A spell thrown by Kyle.

The monster book immediately stopped moving and lay flat on the floor, like a cushion of extremely bad taste.

Kyle walked over and tied the string around the spine of the book before picking up Hagrid's greeting card.

Dear Kyle,

Happy birthday!

You will use this book next semester. I won’t say much here. We can talk about it when we meet. You will never imagine what happened. I still feel like I’m dreaming.

I wish you all the best.

Hagrid

Kyle raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the silent Hagrid was so tight-lipped.

He gave him a book and said he would need it next semester. Apparently, after Professor Kettleburn retired, Hagrid took over his class and was about to become the new professor of Care of Magical Creatures.

Hagrid had been cleared of all charges by what happened last semester, and he was finally able to do work other than gamekeeper.

It can be seen from this letter that Hagrid is really happy.

Kyle was happy for him too.

After thinking for a moment, Kyle found a piece of parchment and wrote him a reply.

"Dear Hagrid,

Thank you for your gift, I like it very much and I can’t wait for school to start, but it’s a pity there is still a month left.

I can only follow Mr. Scamander to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania to stay for a while... A big event is going to happen there soon. The fire dragons will fight each other until the most powerful one is selected to become their new leader.

Kyle.

Also: I heard there are dozens of fire dragons there. "
