Although Kyle's alchemy level is not as good as Victor and Nicolas Flamel, he does not need to protect the entire Hogwarts. He only needs to create a piece on the edge of the Forbidden Forest to block the view from the castle.
It was not difficult to do. The frame of the symbol was basically carved in one day. Hagrid went back and forth between the cabin and the castle more than ten times. After making sure that there were no problems in all directions, Kyle put down the wand in his hand.
This thing can't be completed in a day or two, so you can take your time with the remaining details.
"Have something to eat. I brought it especially for you from the kitchen." Hagrid came over with a whole roasted leg of beef and stuffed it into Kyle's mouth without saying a word.
Kyle's arm sank and he almost dropped it to the ground. For a moment he suspected that Hagrid mistook him for Grawp.
"Thank you..."
"Hey, you're welcome."
Kyle curled his lips, holding the beef leg and not knowing where to start. Finally, he used his magic wand to cut off a piece.
Looking at Hagrid again, he was approaching the Hungarian Hornet with a smug look on his face, completely forgetting how many wounds he had on his body.
However, the Hornet had been busy all day and was a little tired. He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he didn't see Hagrid.
As he wished, Hagrid felt the rough scales and hard, sharp stinger on the Hornet's body.
"Oh, Kyle, look, he finally recognized me." Hagrid's eyes were filled with tears, and he was as happy as a child over three meters tall.
"If that makes you happy." Kyle swallowed the beef leg in his mouth with difficulty and shook the rest in front of the Hornet.
Seeing that it didn't move, I simply stuffed it into its mouth.
The Hornet stood up angrily, lashed Hagrid with its tail, and was about to fight Kyle to the death.
But after smacking its lips, it lay down on the ground again and chewed the roasted beef leg into pieces like French fries.
"Hagrid?"
"It's okay, I'm fine..."
Hagrid limped over.
Seeing this, Kyle didn't care.
He also understood that the half-giant was not only big in size, but also very strong. In addition, he had the ability to withstand blows developed from spending time with his giant brother. Although Hagrid would be injured when facing the Hornet, his life would not be in any danger.
So after Kyle reminded him a few times, he just ignored it.
After admiring the Hornet for a while, Hagrid walked over reluctantly.
"Kyle, are you sure you want to keep the dragon in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I go through so much trouble?" Kyle said, "Why, you don't want to?"
"How is that possible? I've always dreamed of raising a dragon in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid said loudly, "But I'm worried that the Aurors will come to trouble you. Raising a dragon is a serious crime."
"That's okay." Kyle took out a piece of parchment and said, "I have a certificate. It's a legal breeding."
"Certificate of legal dragon breeding?" Hagrid took a look and said with envy, "As expected of someone who used to be a senior minister's assistant, he can actually get such a good thing!"
After Hagrid was expelled, he basically lived in Hogwarts. He had no idea of the true value of the parchment and just thought that Kyle got it through the Ministry of Magic.
This was just like helping Sirius clear his name. Although Hagrid knew it was difficult, he couldn't tell exactly where the difficulty was.
Kyle didn't explain either.
"There's one more thing you might want to pay attention to." Hagrid seemed to have thought of something and said, "The centaurs might not be happy about the appearance of a dragon in the Forbidden Forest. They will definitely come to cause trouble."
"They all migrated here from other places. Do they really regard the Forbidden Forest as their own territory?" Kyle laughed. "It doesn't matter. If they don't agree, they can just drive the dragon away. If they can do that, I have no objection."
Hagrid nodded.
To be honest, he didn't like those centaurs very much. When he first placed the three-headed dog Fluffy, those centaurs gave him the cold shoulder.
Recently, when he wanted his brother Grawp to live in the Forbidden Forest temporarily, the centaurs disagreed. In the end, they only calmed down after Dumbledore moved out.
"Come on, you've got to figure it out," said Hagrid.
Kyle nodded and opened his box again.
A fiery red fireball dragon with a metallic iron belly and a long-horned dragon with golden horns emerged from the boxes one after another, flapping their wings and flying into the depths of the forbidden forest.
These fire dragons are relatively young and are very curious. It is a rare opportunity to be in a new environment, so Kyle let them out to play.
“Bang!”
Kyle seemed to hear a faint sound... the sound of Hagrid's chin hitting the ground.
When he looked back again, he saw Hagrid standing there blankly... Kyle swore that he had never realized that Hagrid's eyes were so big, and they were emitting flickering golden light, just like two golden snitches.
"Fireball Dragon..."
"Iron Belly..."
"Oh, that, that's a Romanian Longhorn Dragon, a living Longhorn Dragon... Merlin, I must be dreaming, right!"
"You're not dreaming." Kyle pulled Hagrid's arm. "Come on, you'll have plenty of time to look at them later."
The first time, it didn't move. The second time, it still didn't move...
Hagrid stood there firmly, as if he had grown into the ground.
"I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere!" He said firmly, "I've decided. I'm going to live here from now on."
"This...is not appropriate." Kyle frowned.
He wouldn't mind having an extra bed for Hagrid, but the problem was that Hornets were too unstable.
It might not be able to do anything to Hagrid during the day, but Kyle couldn't guarantee that the dog wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and launch a sneak attack.
"Please, Kyle," said Hagrid, but his eyes were still fixed on the dragon in the distance.
A burly man over three meters tall, whose fist was bigger than the little wizard's head, actually had a crying tone.
Who can stand this?
Kyle rubbed his arms.
"Whatever you want." Kyle turned and left.
He needed to go to the castle.
Raising a dragon in the Forbidden Forest is no small matter. Even if he has proof, he must tell Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
Only if they agree can the subsequent work proceed.
If they disagree, Kyle will have to maintain the status quo and use the Forbidden Forest as a dragon playground.
When Kyle found Professor McGonagall, she was about to go to Dumbledore to discuss something. After hearing that Kyle had brought five dragons to the school, the parchment in her hand fell to the ground.
"What did you say?!"
"Raising a dragon in the Forbidden Forest?" Professor McGonagall completely forgot her original purpose and said firmly, "No, absolutely not. The Forbidden Forest is too close to the castle. The students will be in danger."
"Don't get excited, Minerva. I think we can give it a try." Dumbledore stroked his beard.
"Since Kyle was able to obtain a certificate for legally raising dragons, it means that he has the ability to restrict those fire dragons. They are not that dangerous."
"That won't work either. What if Kyle isn't paying attention and the fire dragon gets out?"
"And I'm here," Dumbledore said. "And dragons aren't common. Perhaps Hogwarts could become the only school that legally owns a dragon, which would greatly enhance the school's status in the wizarding world."
"I would rather not have this status." Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "And Albus, I am the headmaster now!"
"Oh, okay, then you have the final say." Dumbledore immediately fell silent, calmly picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip.
Dumbledore's simple surrender made Professor McGonagall feel a little confused. She had originally had a tough attitude, but suddenly she began to waver.
Because in her impression, Dumbledore was not a man who liked to play tricks. On the contrary, every decision he made was meaningful.
Even if it is not visible at the time, it will become apparent later.
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, then at the well-behaved Kyle beside her, and her eyes could not help but turn towards the Forbidden Forest outside the window. She remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, she suddenly sighed and looked at a portrait on the wall.
"Principal Dippet, please call the three deans and Madam Pomfrey from the hospital wing. We need to hold a meeting."
"Don't bother with that, Minerva." Armando Dippet leaned against the picture frame. "There are so many dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest. It won't matter if there are just a few more Charmanders."
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly and looked up at him.
"Okay, I understand." Dippet stood up immediately, "I'll go right away."
Soon, the Headmasters and Madam Pomfrey arrived.
They had already learned the general situation from Dippet in advance, and started arguing as soon as they entered the door.
And what’s interesting is that after the deans arrived, the votes were tied again.
Professor Flitwick and Snape agreed that the dragons could settle in the Forbidden Forest, but Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey, the hospital representative, were strongly opposed.
The reason was simple. Professor Sprout was worried that the violent dragon would destroy the greenhouse not far away, and Madam Pomfrey was against all creatures that might cause danger, including but not limited to three-headed dogs, basilisks, dementors, dragons, and Voldemort...
The situation was deadlocked again at 3:3 .
What Kyle didn't expect was that Snape actually voted in favor.
Of course, he also has his own purpose.
"I need some fire dragon materials for research, and you must provide them to me unconditionally." He narrowed his eyes and his tone was full of threats, trying to control Kyle.
So Snape decisively voted against it.
But the situation is still 3:3.
Because when he heard about dragon dung, Professor Sprout also voted against it.
She suddenly realized that after the school had a fire dragon, she would have an endless supply of natural dragon manure fertilizer, and the money saved could be used to buy more plants.
Kyle also promised to donate twenty pots of mandrake, one hundred pots of biting kale, and a complete royal vine to the school greenhouse after the deal was completed.
Professor Sprout did not hesitate at all when he voted against it.
Snape's teeth were chattering.
There was another long debate that lasted until late at night. Dumbledore suggested that everyone have a midnight snack and drink some pumpkin juice to moisten their throats, and then continue the discussion after the intermission. Everyone agreed.
Only Madam Pomfrey stood up and left the headmaster's office.
Her attitude was very clear and could not be changed. There was no need to discuss it further, and Professor McGonagall did not stop her.
She was lowering her head because of what Professor Flitwick had just said, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Because Professor Flitwick just said that the dragon in the school is also a help. If the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts, it may have unexpected effects.
It was these words that made Professor McGonagall's heart even more shaken.
She was only worried about the safety of her students, but compared to the Death Eaters, the dragons seemed nothing.
But this reason alone was not enough for her to agree to the proposal of raising dragons in the Forbidden Forest, so she was still hesitating.
The house-elves brought in a hot midnight snack, and with Dumbledore's approval, a few glasses of wine were also served.
Not much, just one cup per person, so we won’t get drunk.
Professor Flitwick approached Kell with a glass of mead.
"Kyle, did you really get the certificate to legally keep a dragon?"
"Of course it's true." Kyle nodded, "Otherwise I wouldn't dare to release a dragon into the Forbidden Forest."
Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up.
Although he is not as crazy about dragons as Hagrid, he is a duel enthusiast.
Dueling wizards love to challenge strong foes, which naturally includes powerful magical animals, and the fire dragon happens to be a top-level 5X creature.
Holding a magic wand in the flames and watching a huge fire dragon falling from the sky and smashing in front of you is a scene that every dueling wizard has fantasized about.
But it's just a fantasy.
Because fire dragons are rare and the reserve would never agree to let them duel with them, the title of "Wizard who defeated the dragon" has never appeared since a hundred years ago.
Maybe this is an opportunity.
Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands together and glanced eagerly at the Forbidden Forest outside the window.
That's why he voted in favor.
As for the safety of the students... he didn't think about it as much as Professor McGonagall. With Dumbledore around, he wouldn't have the slightest worry even if the dragon sanctuary was moved next door, let alone five dragons.
And these deans are not made of clay... This is the confidence of Hogwarts and the reason why the Forbidden Forest is allowed to exist.
There are so many dangerous animals there. Even the most evil one, the Acromantula, which regards wizards as one of its food, has never thought of provoking Hogwarts.
Just a few fire dragons. Although it is troublesome, it is really not a big deal.
At the same time, curfew had arrived in the castle.
Ever since Fred and George graduated, Hogwarts had become a lot quieter during the curfew.
In the corridor on the eighth floor, the Fat Lady has returned to work after a period of psychological counseling.
The dark and quiet corridor made her want to take a nap, and she didn't notice that the portrait was pushed open from the inside and two pairs of sneaky shoes appeared in front of her out of thin air.
"Harry, move over there. I'm having a hard time breathing."
“But I’ve reached the very edge…”
"Be quiet, and be careful not to be discovered by Filch." Another voice came from the side.
"It's easy for you to say that, Hermione, come and squeeze it, it's so uncomfortable."
"It's your fault that you don't know the invisibility spell."
"This spell is too difficult. I dare say it is not something a student can master."
"Then how did I learn it?"
"You, you're different... You're not a normal person."
Obviously, the three people who appeared in the corridor at this time were Harry, Hermione and Ron.
After knocking on the door for a long time during the day but no one opened it, they did not give up, but decided to explore the cabin again at night.
"What if that Kyle is a Death Eater in disguise? Hagrid will be in danger."
They comforted themselves in this way and found a reason for their action.
But they overlooked one thing. When they were in the first grade, the invisibility cloak could perfectly cover three people, but now they have all grown up and it is difficult to cover two people.
This is embarrassing.
Harry and Ron looked at their exposed shoes and wanted to cover them up.
But the invisibility cloak was only so big, unless they could walk while squatting, the two tried it and quickly gave up.
It's impossible. It's totally impossible.
If Hermione were included, it wouldn't just be their shoes that would be showing, their calves would probably be showing as well.
There was no other choice, the three of them could only do this, keeping their voices as low as possible and walking down the stairs carefully.
I don’t know if it was lucky or not, but even though their two pairs of shoes were exposed, they did not meet Filch or the cat named Mrs. Norris along the way.
The group easily slipped out of the castle and ran to the door of Kyle's cabin under the moonlight.
"Should I knock?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"But if we break in like this, we'll definitely be discovered by Kyle. He's not as easy to fool as Hagrid."
"It's okay. I heard from Colin that he saw Kyle go to the principal's office." Harry's voice came, "I just checked, the light there is always on, maybe he hasn't come back yet."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Ron walked forward and gave the door a tentative push.
The door opened.
This made Hermione, who was holding her wand and preparing to use the Unlocking Charm, feel a little embarrassed.
How could the door be open? It was clearly locked tightly during the day.
But she didn't think much about it. She nervously looked inside and then walked in.
"Good, no one's here."
"Hermione, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?" Harry followed behind and said cautiously.
But Hermione didn't answer him.
Her mind was now full of images of wandering around in the Forbidden Forest yesterday afternoon, and she had no intention of answering Harry's question.
This matter tormented her for the whole afternoon. Hermione borrowed at least twenty books from the library, but she couldn't find any magic that could turn everything in front of her into something like a mirage.
She felt she wouldn't be able to sleep if she didn't figure it out.
But she came several times yesterday, at noon, in the afternoon, in the evening... No matter when she knocked on the door, there was no response.
Even Hagrid was missing.
Whether it was out of worry or some other purpose, he decided to visit the cabin at night.
The room was clean and the bed was empty.
Hermione's first look was towards the opposite wall.
Sure enough, the door was still there, and it seemed that it could only be seen here.
Hermione's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She grasped the door handle with excitement and moved it gently.
"roar!"
The moment the door was opened, a ball of scorching flames came towards them, growing bigger and bigger in their pupils...
