Cedric and Cho came along as well.
Compared to the quietness of yesterday when Kanna was alone, the box was much more lively this time.
After seeing the vast space in the box, Fred immediately decided to explore it.
Kyle did not refuse and watched him and George run happily into the forest until they disappeared completely.
"Is it really okay?" Cedric said with some concern, "They won't be in any danger, will they?"
“No!” Kyle waved his hand. “You have already seen the dangerous place. It is that open space.”
After hearing Kyle's words, Qiu on the side thought again of the large field of biting cabbage he had just seen, and couldn't help but shudder.
Like Kanna, she also blacklisted the vacant lot and swore to herself that she would never get close to it no matter what.
But Cedric was quite interested. Maybe it was because the head of Hufflepuff was the professor of Herbology, but he was very interested in those magical plants and even planned to plant a Devil's Snare himself to practice.
By noon, the Weasley brothers also returned, but seeing how dejected they looked, it was obvious that this adventure was completely different from what they had expected.
They did not find the fire dragon they were longing for.
In fact, Norbert did appear once when they entered the box, but after discovering that Kyle was followed by other people, he turned around and flew away.
It was because Fred and George saw it disappear deep into the woods that they wanted to take the risk.
As a result, they wandered around for several hours but didn't even see the shadow of a fire dragon.
Even when they were leaving the box, the two of them kept talking about this matter... After all, this was probably the only fire dragon they could come into contact with without having to worry about any danger.
Unfortunately, Norbert doesn't like them, and Kyle can't do anything about it.
…
But soon they stopped worrying about such trivial matters.
Because on Wednesday, Snape came back.
At breakfast that day, he simply opened the door and strode into the auditorium.
Looking at the familiar black cloak and cold eyes, many students couldn't help but sigh.
They had thought they could finally get rid of Snape this school year. Some of them didn't even do their homework in Potions class during the holidays... including Fred and George.
But the Slytherins seemed very happy. They stood up and welcomed their head of house with loud applause.
Kyle looked at Snape as he walked up to Dumbledore.
The fact that he could show up in school proved that Regulus' problem should have been solved. For Sirius, this was probably more gratifying than him regaining his freedom.
But some people couldn't be happy.
The entire morning, Mikel and Ryan were making use of every opportunity to catch up on their Potions homework. The first class, History of Magic, was fine; as long as they didn't make too much noise in class, no one would care what they did.
But the second Transfiguration class was different. They were caught red-handed by Professor McGonagall. Not only was their Potions homework confiscated, but even their Transfiguration homework was increased from five feet to eight feet... The two almost cried on the spot.
"By the way..." After arranging their punishment, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle again, "The headmaster seems to have something to ask you. The password is Pepper Urchin."
"I understand, Professor."
The headmaster's office was very quiet. The portraits on the wall were covered with thick velvet. Dumbledore was still sitting behind the desk, seemingly waiting for him.
"I think you already know about Regulus. He is no longer the monster we saw at the beginning."
"I know." Kyle said, "I saw Professor Snape come back this morning."
"Yes..." Dumbledore said softly, "It took more than two months. It was more troublesome than I thought, but it was finally solved."
"So what will happen to him...Regulus?" Kyle asked.
"I don't know either." Dumbledore shook his head. "Sirius meant that he would arrange everything. At least we don't need to do anything until that person is completely eliminated."
"Is that so?" Kyle said.
He knew that Dumbledore was talking about Voldemort, and although he didn't know why Sirius made such a decision, he didn't ask any more questions.
"You saved two innocent souls, Kyle." Dumbledore stood up and said with a smile, "You helped Sirius regain his freedom and discovered the truth about Regulus. Either of these is worthy of praise.
As an old wizard who once fought against Voldemort with everyone, I am grateful for everything you have done for them. But as the headmaster, I can't give you extra points for things outside of school."
"It's okay, Professor." Kyle shook his head.
After all, these things happened during the holidays and have nothing to do with Hogwarts directly, so they are indeed not suitable for extra points.
"But..." Kyle thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I hope you can agree to one of my requests."
"Go ahead." Dumbledore smiled, "But I have to remind you, if you want to learn the spell I used before, you'd better change it. Don't forget that I promised to teach you, and I have no intention of breaking my promise."
"Another request," Kyle said. "I hope you'll let me deal with the item that Regulus exchanged."
Kyle knew that Dumbledore definitely called him here not just because of the things he had just said, but most likely it was related to the locket.
There was no way Dumbledore couldn't have guessed what it was. The fact that he had endured until now was quite unexpected.
Sure enough, when Dumbledore heard Kyle mention the locket, his expression became much more serious.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you know what that is?"
"Of course I know, just like the diary." Kyle said, "But I have a solution."
At this point, Kyle subconsciously thought of Nicolas Flamel. It was originally agreed that the crown would be returned to him in half a year, but now it's almost been a year and there is still no news.
Kyle even wondered if he had run away with the crown.
But the problem was that he couldn't ask.
Nicolas Flamel's manor was obviously protected by more than just the Fidelius Charm. Even though he had been there once, he still couldn't remember the exact address.
So now he could only wait for Nicolas Flamel to contact him.
