Chapter 109 Special Contribution Award to the School
Although Kyle repeatedly assured that he was fine, Professor McGonagall still insisted on sending him to the school hospital. new
Although Madam Pomfrey did not detect any injuries on Kyle, after hearing what happened, she insisted on letting Kyle stay here for one night.
After Professor McGonagall left, Madam Pomfrey took out a bottle from the cabinet and poured Kyle a large glass of light blue potion.
"Drink it!"
Kyle, who was lying on the hospital bed, said with a grimace: "No, no need, Madam Pomfrey."
What can I say about the medicine at the school hospital? It’s very effective, but it’s also very unpleasant to drink.
Cedric drank a refreshing potion when he had a cold last time. In his words, it was like pot water that had been left in the sun for three days. Just swallowing it required a lot of perseverance.
Kyle didn't want to drink the pot water.
Moreover, his most serious injury now is a tooth mark on his arm. In this case, there is no need to take medicine at all.
But Madam Pomfrey didn't listen at all. She stood there and said in a stern tone: "This potion can help you quickly restore your energy and strength. You must drink it, otherwise you will not be able to leave the hospital!"
When he heard that he could not be discharged from the hospital, Kyle's face fell instantly.
The campus hospital is the place with the most say in Hogwarts. Even if Dumbledore comes, he has to listen to Madam Pomfrey and he doesn't dare to say no.
If Madam Pomfrey doesn't let Kyle leave the hospital, then he really won't be able to leave, and it will be useless for anyone to come.
Kyle picked up the cup and drank the potion resignedly.
"Tons, tons, tons..."
It doesn't really taste that good, but it's better than a pick-me-up. It's just pot water that's been left in the sun for a day.
After drinking the potion, Madam Pomfrey left.
Kyle was lying on the bed. He didn't know whether it was because he was too tired or because of the effect of the potion, but his eyelids felt unusually heavy, and he fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long I slept for. In a daze, Kyle felt that there was always a rustling sound in his ears.
It's like who is eating.
Well, eating?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little hungry...and this feeling became more and more obvious.
Kyle raised his eyelids with difficulty, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, and it took him a while to gradually adapt.
In front of him was the ceiling of the school hospital, and... the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore.
"Good afternoon, Kyle," Dumbledore said vaguely, appearing to be chewing something next to an open box of Bibi's All-Flavour Beans.
Kyle woke up and quickly understood the situation at hand. ♦♧☞
The greatest white wizard in front of him, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, was actually stealing his snacks!
"There is really no room on the table." Dumbledore seemed to have guessed what Kyle was thinking, and said with a smile: "And I suggest you not to eat this box. I ate three of them, and they all tasted bad. I think they may have made a mistake."
"Principal, you can try the golden brown one." Kyle said subconsciously, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of the table. Various snacks were piled on top, like a hill.
And there was more than just one. Someone moved the table next to the hospital bed over, and there was also a mountain of snacks piled on it.
"They are all gifts given to you by your friends. I suspect that they probably bought out Honeydukes." Dumbledore said with a smile, and put the bean that Kyle mentioned into his mouth.
"Oh, it's champagne...it doesn't taste like that often."

"Principal, how long have I slept?"
"It will be a full day in three hours," said Dumbledore.
Kyle sat up from the bed and stretched his stiff neck.
I didn’t expect to sleep for so long. It’s already the afternoon of the next day. No wonder I feel hungry... Wait! The next afternoon?
"Headmaster, Quidditch."
"It's a pity that you missed it." Dumbledore said: "But Hufflepuff won. They think that a Quidditch trophy can make you get better faster and be full of momentum during the game."
"Damn Oren!" Kyle punched the pillow in frustration. This game was what he was looking forward to most.
"Speaking of Oren...Kyle, do you know why he's giving you trouble?"
"He said it was because of my dad," Kyle said.
"But as far as I know." Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed, "Twelve years ago, if it weren't for Chris, Oren would have died in the hands of Death Eaters. It was your father who saved him. One life.”
"This is impossible. If it was my father who saved Oren, then why would he do this and repay kindness with hatred?"
Kyle said with certainty: "He really wanted to kill me at that time. If the centaurs hadn't arrived in time, he would have even used the killing curse on me."
"This is indeed a bit unpredictable. I'm afraid only Oren himself knows the reason." Dumbledore said softly: "But he has already run away. It is not easy to catch a bard."
"Troubadour?"
"Yes." Dumbledore explained: "After escaping death, he left here for France and began to travel around the world as a bard.
As for when he started participating in smuggling magical animals, I don't know. "
"Then why did he come to Hogwarts?" Kyle asked puzzledly: "Is it just to kill me?"
"Of course not, child." Dumbledore shook his head and said: "I learned that the Ministry of Magic received an anonymous report letter in mid-August, which detailed the movement routes of those smugglers.
Now that I think about it, the sender of the letter was probably Oren, which is why he applied to me for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor two months in advance.
But I also don't understand why he did this. Maybe he wanted to use Hogwarts to avoid something, or maybe he was short of money, or for some other reason. Bards are always so elusive. "
After listening to Dumbledore's words, Kyle found that he could not understand Oren more and more. All he could do was to plant more biting cabbage and invite him to the next time he saw Oren. A plant bath.
No matter what, it was a fact that he almost killed him. This was the first time he suffered such a big loss.
Kyle had already decided that a hundred biting cabbages would be a return gift to Oren.
"Now let's change the mood and say something happy."
Dumbledore said in a brisk tone: "Because you did not hesitate in the face of danger, used the broomstick to successfully send Connor Prince out of the Forbidden Forest at the most dangerous time, and in order to buy time for her, you faced two dark wizards alone. For your noble spirit, we unanimously decided to give you the Special Contribution Award to the school."
