NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26: Laton
The following day, Kyle was forced to get up early from the bed.
Because he didn't draw the curtains last night, the sunlight shone through the round window of the Dormitory, hitting his face like a searchlight.
Who can sleep like this?
Kyle reluctantly got dressed and stretched himself to the window.
Because the location of Hogwarts Castle is not flat, although it belongs to the underground part of the castle building, it is actually sunny. Through the round window of the Dormitory, you can also see the swaying grass and dandelions outside the window.
Kyle glanced at his two roommates, who were sleeping soundly, and opened the window to the maximum expressionlessness.
There are still five years before the O.W.L. exams. How can they sleep at this age?
And it's already 7:30 now, which is 8:50 if rounded up, and there are only a few minutes before the class at 9 o'clock.
After all, this is their first class after entering Hogwarts, and they always have to leave a good impression on the Professors. Otherwise, it will be bad if they are late.
The misty breeze in the morning is undoubtedly the best alarm clock.
"I am so considerate." Kyle nodded with satisfaction.
He really did it for his roommates, not for them to get up early with him. He, a Hufflepuff, couldn't do such a thing.
After a simple wash, Kyle left the Dormitory through the passage of the common room.
As we all know, the stairs in Hogwarts are very unique. They seem to have their own consciousness. They always change their original direction when the little wizards are most anxious and then silently appreciate the desperate wails of those unlucky people.
Kyle was ready to go around a few times, but he didn't know whether it was because he had enough time now or because it was not time for the stairs to work.
He walked all the way from the Dorm to the Great Hall, and the stairs did not change once, and it was very quiet the whole time.
This made Kyle a little disappointed. To be honest, he actually wanted to try it.
Although it was not yet eight o'clock, there were already quite a few people in the Great Hall, especially the Ravenclaw table, which was almost full. There were also a few senior students from other Houses sitting there.
Hufflepuff... Only Kyle.
When he sat down, a steaming hot breakfast immediately appeared on the plate in front of him.
A cup of milk, two sausages, and a piece of bread.
It was not fancy, but it was also very good, and if it was not enough, he could add more.
Kyle ate his breakfast slowly, and soon, two familiar figures walked into the Great Hall one after another.
"Hey, Kyle, why are you up so early?" Mikkel and Ryan walked over quickly.
"I didn't want to either. I was planning to take a nap, but the window of the Dormitory was open and the wind was too cold to sleep." Kyle cut a piece of sausage and put it into his mouth without changing his expression, saying. "How about you, why did you get up so early?"
"Same for us." Mikel said with a bitter face, "I thought you opened the window before?"
"The window was open when I left."
Kyle emphasized the words "when I left" very much.
"Is that so? It should be the wind that blew it open." Mikel took a big bite of the bread. "But it's okay this way. I didn't fall asleep until the early hours last night. If the window wasn't open, I definitely wouldn't be able to get up before nine o'clock."
"If I'm late for the first class... I don't dare to think about the consequences. I will definitely be expelled."
Beside him, Ryan nodded in agreement.
Although he got up at more than eight o'clock when he was at home, that was the result of his mother forcibly pulling him out of bed.
If Ryan really sleeps until he wakes up naturally, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch up with the first class.
Kyle smiled and said. "Then you really have to thank the kind person who helped open the window."
"Yeah."
The two sleepy-eyed people were busy eating breakfast, and no one noticed that there was anything wrong with Kyle's words just now.
Mikel even echoed, "It really helped a lot."
At this time, Kyle also finished the last sip of milk, stood up, and said. "You continue to eat, I'll go somewhere else."
"Okay." The two said in unison,
...
Kyle said goodbye to his roommate, who was addicted to eating, and walked straight to the gate of the castle.
It was just after eight o'clock, and it was still early for class. While there was time, Kyle decided to solve the pet problem first.
There was already a cat and a toad in the Dormitory, and he couldn't appear to be unsociable.
Kyle raised his arm skillfully after walking out of the gate of the castle.
At once, seven or eight owls swarmed in from all directions and landed neatly on the stone steps in front of him.
"This time it's not a letter." Kyle looked at them and said, "I will stay in Hogwarts for a long time. During this time, I hope to hire one of you as my exclusive messenger."
"In return... all meals, at least one pack of owl nuts every day, at least three packs of Murtlap jerky every week, and a bottle of owl tonic every month... That's all for now, if there is anything else you need, you can add more."
"In addition, even if I graduate, these conditions will still be valid until you can no longer lift your wings."
"How about it, if any of you are willing, fly to my shoulder."
It has nothing to do with Kyle's inherited talent.
As the special messengers of the Wizarding World, Owls have a natural affinity for Magic. With a little training, they can understand the words of wizards.
And those in Hogwarts are the best in the industry in this regard.
Although Kyle's words just now were a bit complicated for them, they could understand about 70% to 80% with some body movements.
In less than a second, these owls rushed to Kyle's shoulders.
Some of them even attacked the owls in front of them directly.
For a while, the surroundings were in chaos, with scattered feathers everywhere.
Kyle scratched his head with a smile and wanted to stop it, but it was too late because now this situation was not something he could persuade with a few words.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
A brown fish owl relied on its huge size to easily defeat other competitors and stood firmly on Kyle's shoulder as a winner.
Kyle recognized this owl.
It was about three years ago. When Chris found it, it was covered with wounds, and they fainted at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic's mail-receiving station. Its claws were still tightly holding a letter that had not been sent out.
Because it was found in time, Chris immediately treated it and took it home to take care of it carefully for more than half a month, and finally, it came back to life.
Despite this, it had a long and narrow scar on its face.
Dark Magic caused this scar and was difficult to remove. Chris and Newt had no way to do it, and even feathers could not cover it.
Compared with other owls, this made it look abnormal and ugly.
But Kyle didn't care about this. He scratched the feathers on the neck of the brown fishing owl and smiled. "Hello, Laton."
The other party tilted his head and gently rubbed Kyle's fingers with his beak.
Laton was the nickname Kyle gave it at the beginning.
Because he didn't know its name at the beginning, Kyle called it that just to make it easier to feed it.
Unexpectedly, it actually recognized it in the end.
When Hagrid got the news and came to pick it up, he called 'Saipan, Saipan' in the nearby woods for more than half an hour, but it didn't respond at all.
It wasn't until Kyle whispered "Ladon" next to it that it flew out slowly.
Hagrid was stunned at the time and couldn't recover for a long time. It felt like Kyle abducted the girl he had raised with great effort.
Don't mention how disappointed he was.
