Chapter 11 My last name is not Weasley, how can I violate school rules?
With his worries gone, Cedric suddenly became a lot more cheerful. He stopped reading and took the initiative to talk to Kyle: "Hello, can I call you Kyle?"
"Of course." Kyle nodded: "In fact, my father also works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and is a colleague of your father."
“Father?” Cedric was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty, “Is it Mr. Chris Chopper?”
“Yes.” Kyle said.
Cedric suddenly said: "Your surname is Chopper, and you know the Weasley brothers... Oh, I should have guessed it earlier, we are still neighbors!"
After having this relationship, the relationship between the two quickly became much more familiar, and getting along became much more natural. It felt like they were old friends who had been together for a long time.
Even though the two of them had never met before today.
"By the way Kyle." Cedric seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously: "I remember I went to look for you before, but you were not at home. At that time, my father also told me that you were there. He has been studying with Mr. Scamander since he was very young, and he will definitely accomplish something in the future.
is this real? Have you really been studying with Mr. Scamander? "
Cedric was too curious, after all, it was Scamander.
Although there are many celebrities in the British magic world, most of them are somewhat famous in their respective countries.
For example, some textbook authors, novelists who have won the Third Order of Merlin, etc., may have a certain reputation in Hogwarts, but once they go to other places...such as Ilvermorny or Beauxbatons, People don't even know who you are.
There are actually only a few wizards who are truly famous throughout the magical world and have their portraits printed on chocolate frog cards while they are still alive.
And Scamander is one of these few people.
It was the first time he was so close to a legendary figure, so Cedric was naturally very curious.
…
On the other side, Kyle was looking at Cedric in disbelief.
He also looked for me, and he was also not at home? This is too much of a coincidence.
And Mr. Diggory, isn't he in the same office as Chris? Where did he hear such gossip? How could he be at Uncle Newt's place all the time?
Kyle rubbed his forehead speechlessly, thought for a while and said: "First of all, it is true that he will do something in the future, but my father is Newt Scamander's student, and I just go to him. Just playing.”
Newt is no better than Dumbledore. He has very severe social phobia. It was better when he was young. Although he doesn't like to talk, he can still make a few friends, fight the Dark Lord, or accept a few students and guide them. Some knowledge about magical animals or something.
But since Grindelwald was imprisoned in the Nurmengard Tower, Newt rarely participated in those social activities anymore, focusing entirely on magical animals.
Especially in the past thirty years, he has hardly spoken to strangers, and his social fear has naturally become more and more serious.
Do you expect this kind of Newt to be like a professor at Hogwarts, giving lectures to a little wizard every day, and then checking for omissions and correcting homework?
impossible.
Moreover, Newt is also very clear that his personality is not suitable for being a teacher. In his opinion, whether he is a professor or a teacher, he should be like Dumbledore.
So Chris is his last nominal student.
In the following decades, although many people had this idea, and some even invited Dumbledore as a lobbyist, Newt rejected them all without exception.
Newt didn’t want to mislead someone, even if the other person didn’t mind, he couldn’t pass the test in his heart. Kyle went there at first because Chris and Diana were too busy at work and had no time to take care of him. At that time, Newt's wife Tina also knew the news and took the initiative to pick Kyle up.
While helping Chris, Tina can also find something to do for herself.
Thinking about it, it is enough to have a husband who doesn't like to talk and whose eyes are full of magical animals. If Tina doesn't find something to do for herself, she will probably go crazy.
Moreover, Kyle had just turned six at that time. According to Tina's experience, it was the time when people hated dogs, and maybe Newt's social fear could be cured.
When their grandson was this old, Newt was annoyed so much that he talked more in a day than he had in a month.
At this point, Kyle did not disappoint Tina.
Although he is not a naughty kid, he is very curious. In addition, it is the first time to see so many magical animals, so it is inevitable that he can't help but ask questions.
Maybe it’s because these questions are related to magical animals. Although Newt rarely takes the initiative to speak, whenever Kyle asks, he will give serious answers.
As a result, he naturally spoke more, and he did so willingly.
In short, all three of us were very satisfied.
It is precisely because of this that although Chris and Diana were not so busy later, Kyle still went there for a while every year.
…
Of course, Kyle didn’t intend to tell Cedric these things. After all, Newt still had to help maintain his image.
A reclusive legendary master of magical animals sounds much better than a socially fearful man.
So after a brief explanation, Kyle didn’t intend to continue this topic. If he talked too much, it would be easy to reveal his secrets. This was good for now.
"By the way, Cedric, what do you think of the professors at Hogwarts? Are they all easy to get along with?" Kyle naturally looked at the "Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guide" in Cedric's hand and said: "You also know that this is my first time going to school and I don't know much about these things. What if I accidentally make a professor angry? Will I be expelled?"
“You don’t have to worry about this at all.”
Cedric did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "The professors are all very good...well, at least most of the professors are very good. And even if it is... well, even the most strict professors will not expel students easily. of.
Unless you have done something that seriously violates school rules and disciplines. "
When he said the last sentence, Cedric's expression was very serious, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing this, Kyle also guessed what he wanted to say, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, my surname is not Weasley, I will definitely not violate school rules."
Hearing what he said, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry...I didn't mean that."
Kyle shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I know."
Since Hogwarts was mentioned, Cedric became interested and told Kyle more details in the following time.
For example, don’t worry about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who is obsessed with turning into cats. The Transfiguration professor who is obsessed with turning into cats is the most majestic... and most importantly, the Potions professor who doesn’t wash his hair will deduct points, etc.
It’s basically the same as what Kyle knows, nothing new.
