Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 982
Since Wenda Rosier took over everything about Horcruxes, Kyle felt relieved all of a sudden.
He no longer needed to ask Professor McGonagall for leave, and continued to be responsible for ensuring the safety of the students taking the exam as usual until the History of Magic exam was over a few days later.
According to Hogwarts convention, History of Magic represents the last exam, which also applies to 0.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams.

Early in the morning, even Professor McGonagall came, and from time to time she would appear in the auditorium to supervise all seventh-year students writing their exams.
Although Professor Marchbank repeatedly said that everything was normal and there was no difference from the previous exams, she just couldn’t calm down. She stayed in the principal’s office for a while and came to take a look.
After all the test papers were collected, the Hogwarts Castle, which had been silent for many days, suddenly burst into cheers.
“No more homework to do!” Ron stood in front of the window and threw the History of Magic in his hand out of the window.
“Ron!” Hermione glared at him in dissatisfaction from behind, “How could you do this.”
“Ah, it doesn’t matter.” Ron shrugged, “Ginny already has a History of Magic, I don’t need to keep the old book.”
The Weasley family has many children, and there are almost children in every grade. Sometimes a book can be passed on to several people in a row.
For example, the History of Magic he just threw out was used by Charlie.
There is also the Advanced Transfiguration Guide used in the sixth grade Transfiguration class, which was also left by Bill. When it came to him, it was so old that even the cover was wrinkled.
According to the tradition of the Weasley family, this book would be left to Ginny, but Fred and George couldn’t stand it, and bought all new books for Ginny.
Hermione also knew about this.
“That’s not what I meant!” She said unhappily, but she didn’t blame Ron anymore.
Many students poured out of the castle and came to the field outside.
Kyle was among them.
Connor also came to Hogwarts today. Kyle watched her pour a bottle of blue potion into the black lake and asked in confusion:
“Why did you suddenly think of brewing mermaid tonic—Is this also the potion formula that Dean Sassia gave you?”
Kyle couldn’t figure it out. As the dean of St. Mungo’s, why did Sassia have a tonic formula for magical creatures?
Isn’t this something that only Newt would be interested in?
Could it be that St. Mungo’s has a magical animal treatment department that he doesn’t know about?
“This is not a tonic, it’s a gill sac potion I brewed.” Connor explained.
“Gill sac potion, what is this?” Kyle asked with a frown.
“Like gilly grass, it is a potion that can make people grow gills and flippers underwater, and it can last for half a day.”
“So that’s it.” Kyle nodded suddenly.
He understood what she said. It was an enhanced version of gillyweed, similar to distilled water and hemostatic potion.
“Then why did you pour it into the Black Lake?” Kyle glanced at her. “Do you think the mermaids in the Black Lake need to grow another pair of gills?”
“That’s because I did something wrong…” At this point, Connor’s voice became much smaller.
“Uncle Snape’s storage room only has gillyweed that has been collected. Although it can grow gills and flippers after taking it, it is obvious that fresher ones are needed to make potions.”
Connor took out another long-necked bottle and poured the blue potion into the Black Lake.
“But Uncle Snape said that although this failed potion cannot make wizards grow gills, it has many benefits for magical animals living in the water.
“It just so happened that I came to Hogwarts to find Professor McGonagall today, so I wanted to see the effect in the Black Lake. “
Connor squatted by the Black Lake, looking at the water.
The mermaid didn’t come, but the giant squid. It was like Sybill Trelawney who saw sherry, sucking the lake water on the shore.
From its reaction, it is not difficult to see that this failure is also a success in a sense.
Connor quickly noted down the changes in the giant squid’s movements.
“Snape–” Kyle glanced at the castle behind. “When did he leave Hogwarts?
“It’s been a long time, probably on the day when the N.E.W.T. exam started.” Connor said, “Why, don’t you know?”
To be honest, Kyle really didn’t know. He always thought that Snape didn’t want to face students and professors, so he didn’t go to the hall to eat.
And he had a lot of things to do these days, so it was impossible for him to keep staring at Snape——Of course, even if he had nothing to do, he wouldn’t stare at Snape.
“You just said you came to Hogwarts to see Professor McGonagall?” Kyle deliberately changed the subject, “What’s the matter?
Do you need my help?”
“No.” Connor shook her head, “It’s about the hearing. Yesterday, the Wizengamot sent a letter to Uncle Snape with the time of the second hearing.
“Professor McGonagall said before that we should tell her after receiving the letter.”
“When?”
“It happens to be the day when Hogwarts is on holiday.”
“That’s right, I’ll go there too.”
“Well, the two were chatting, and not long after, Professor McGonagall walked out of the castle with the people from the Wizarding Examination Authority and watched them leave Hogwarts.
Kangna immediately walked over.
She had arrived a long time ago, but at that time the History of Magic exam was still being held in the castle, so she did not go in to disturb Professor McGonagall and kept waiting outside with Kyle.
Kyle watched Professor McGonagall lead Connor into the castle, but did not follow him.
For Snape’s second hearing, he could provide limited help, even if he followed him, it would be useless.
“Kyle!” Hagrid came over not far away, “I’m going to take Harry and the others to Hogsmeade.
Let’s have another glass of mead. Do you want to join me? “
When Hagrid got closer, Kyle noticed that Harry, Ron and Hermione were following behind him.
Under normal circumstances, even after exams are completed, Hogwarts does not allow students to leave the school early and go elsewhere, including Hogsmeade.
But they are all in seventh grade this year, and the school’s restrictions on adult wizards are relatively loose.
And with Hagrid by his side, even if Professor McGonagall knew, he wouldn’t say anything.
“I won’t go.” Kyle waved his hand, rejecting Hagrid’s invitation.
Hagrid didn’t pay attention, turned around and led the three of them towards the school gate.
“Kyle——.——.Well, Professor——”
It was always very lively after the exam. Just as Hagrid was sent away, someone came looking for him again.
This time it was several seventh-year students, with Justin Finch-Fletchley from Hufflepuff at the front, MacMillan who was always with him, and Neville from Gryffindor.
Before he graduated, these people were all his good friends, and Justin went to the kitchen with him for supper several times in the middle of the night.
So even if Kyle stayed in school and became a professor, their titles could never be changed.
Running over from a distance, Justin couldn’t wait to ask: “We want to hold a banquet. How about you come to join us?”
“Banquet?” Kyle looked at him and then at Neville, “Or two academies together?
“Are you going to the tower, or are you going to let Gryffindor come to the kitchen – I must remind you that even as graduates, some things should not be too excessive, otherwise Professor McGonagall will still confine you before the holidays.”
“No, it’s not two colleges together, it’s four——”–well, it should be three to be precise. “McMillan stepped forward and explained: “And we guarantee that this banquet will not be discovered by Professor McGonagall. “
“Because we are going to a place where she will never be found,” Justin said.
“D·A’s secret base.”
“D.A?” Kyle was in a daze, “Dumbledore’s Army?”
“That’s right.” Neville nodded, with a hint of pride and confidence on his face that he never had before.
“All members who joined D·A stayed during the last war. Each of us has abided by the original agreement.”
After the war, Neville became much more confident. His grandmother, Mrs. Longbottom, once suspected that Neville was being impersonated by others and insisted on using the Appearance Spell on him.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall stopped him in time.
“Yes.” Justin said, “It’s just that now that D·A has successfully completed its mission, it’s time to disband. We want to celebrate again.”
When D·A was established, most of the participants were senior students. When Kyle graduated last year, there were nearly half fewer members, and after their class graduates this year, there will be another half.
There may not even be ten people left, and it is no different from disbanding.
Of course, the dissolution is only in name.
At least for a long time afterwards, they will remember their special identity and be proud of it.
After all, of the many clubs in Hogwarts, only D·A participated in the war against Voldemort with all its members, and even won.
“Including this banquet, only members of D·A can attend. Potter and Granger went to buy butterbeer, and someone was setting up the banquet venue on the eighth floor.”
“So come together, I dare say this will be the most lively banquet.” Justin invited again.
Kyle did not refuse this time, only saying that he could go and have a look when the time came.
The three of them seemed very happy, and after chatting with Kyle for a while, they quickly returned to the castle.
At this time, Kangna just walked out of the castle.
“What did Professor McGonagall say?”
“She said she would go to the Ministry of Magic that day and told me not to worry.”
“You really don’t need to worry.” Kyle smiled. Professor McGonagall had handed over all the Horcruxes to the Ministry of Magic. Of course, they couldn’t embarrass Snape anymore.
“Where’s Professor Snape? He just asked you to come here alone?
0
“He doesn’t want to go out.” Kangna sighed.
“Since the last hearing, his every move has been watched by Aurors, and Uncle Snape doesn’t want to see them, so I’m here.”
“Is the Auror troublesome?” Kyle asked.
He suddenly remembered that the current head of the Auror Office was Kingsley, and he had a pretty good relationship with him. In addition, he had been quite ashamed because of the ‘Horcruxes’ before.
If you go find him yourself, you might be able to remove Snape’s surveillance.
Originally, after the “Horcrux” was handed over, this second hearing became a formality. No matter how stupid Snape was, he would not be able to escape at this time.
But Snape clearly disliked the surveillance of the Aurors. When he was unhappy, Kyle was happy.
So Kyle had been hesitating whether to go to Kingsley.
“If it’s troublesome, there will be some.” Connor whispered: “Every time he saw the Aurors outside the window, Uncle Snape would be in a bad mood. Although he never said it, I can see it.”
“Oh——” Kyle’s mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly recovered.
“Is that all?” he asked.
“And there is no way to buy materials.” Connor thought for a while, “Some of the materials in the potion I am learning now are not available in Diagon Alley, and I have to go to some less safe places to buy them.
“But now with the Aurors watching, Uncle Snape will definitely not be able to go, and he insisted on not telling me the address”Is that so.” Kyle said, his thoughts were a little shaken.
Although Snape’s bad mood was a pleasant news, Kyle didn’t expect it to affect Connor.
Indeed, those prohibited trade materials are indispensable for brewing potions, especially complex potions.
As a potion master, Snape naturally has his own way, of course, it is definitely not very formal.
Connor didn’t know what Kyle was thinking, and continued walking while saying: “Fresh gillyweed, I went to Diagon Alley to look for it for a long time but couldn’t find it, and Uncle Snape refused to tell me where to buy it.

“Wait.” Kyle suddenly stopped Connor, “The potion you need is gillyweed?”
“Yes.” Connor nodded, “That thing is too hard to find, especially if it has not been collected. There is no such thing in the UK. I can only go to the Mediterranean, but now I can’t run that far.”
“Who said that.” Kyle laughed and grabbed Connor.
“Come with me. “
He ran quickly to the cabin, and Kanna had to follow him because she was being pulled.
After returning to the cabin, Kyle did not speak, but put the box on the ground, opened it, and jumped in.
“Kyle, you——”
Kanna was confused, and before she could ask, Kyle had disappeared.
She had no choice but to jump into the box.
After that, Kyle took her straight to the only lake in the box and stopped at a place with an empty flower pot. There used to be biting cabbages here, but now there are only a few dozen left.
“Kyle, why did you bring me here?” Kanna finally found a chance to speak.
“Don’t you want fresh gillweed? “Kyle took out his wand and pointed at the water surface, “Look at these, are they what you want–“
The water surface was separated, revealing the pony-shaped water monster eating below.
Kanna blinked in confusion, not understanding why Kyle asked her to look at the pony-shaped water monster, until she noticed the coral-like thing in its mouth.
“Gills–·Gill grass–.” Her eyes widened.
Waterweed-like leaves, coral-like roots, this is what the gill grass originally looks like, and there are quite a lot of them.
There is a large area under the lake.
“You, how come–? Isn’t it said that this kind of plant is difficult to grow on a large scale in the UK?”
“I don’t know either.”
Kyle shrugged, “I bought this thing from Diagon Alley, and then I threw it here and forgot about it. If it weren’t for the pony-shaped water monster, I might not have known that there was such a large area of gill grass under the lake until now.”
