Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 234 You have to be mentally prepared
After the dinner was over, Kyle glanced at where Chris and Diana had been before intentionally or unintentionally...the place was empty, and they had obviously left early.

After that, all the students went back to their respective dormitories, only Kyle was left behind.

The banquet is just a part of the ceremony, and the most important thing is after that.

"Want to have a cup of tea together?" Dumbledore suggested with a smile.

"Of course, I do need something to drink right now."

McPhail nodded, "To be honest, this castle seems to have unimaginable magic power, and my appetite has improved a lot since I got here."

He was joking when he said he wanted to go back soon, and it was impossible for Dumbledore to actually ask them to invite these old guys to be some kind of defense against the dark arts professor... that is the treatment only young boys have.

"Albus, do you have any whiskey, I really want some now."

"How about the Fire Whiskey, I just got a bottle for Christmas."

"That couldn't be better."

……

In the principal's office on the eighth floor, there is an extra long table and some soft chairs with backrests.

There are also various drinks on the table. In addition to steaming tea and whiskey, there are mead, butter beer, and lemonade.

These should be bought by the elves from the Three Broomsticks. Their magic is different from wizards, and they can use apparition even in the castle.

Several people sat down casually, chatting happily while drinking.

As the protagonist this time, their topic is naturally indispensable to Kyle.

Although Fudge tried several times to lead the conversation elsewhere, Dumbledore always found out his intentions and brought the conversation back to Kyle without a trace.

Kyle also understood his intentions.

On the way to the eighth floor just now, Dumbledore had hinted in a voice only he could hear.Said that this is a rare opportunity to meet famous wizards outside the school, which is of great help to him to broaden his network.

Kyle naturally understood this truth.

In the magic world, connections are also very important, just like Dumbledore, if he didn't know Nicolas May, how could he borrow such a useful "bait" from the Philosopher's Stone.

There is also the Malfoy family. The reason why their family is so influential is also because they have an intricate network of relationships with most people in the Ministry of Magic.

Although this kind of relationship network was compiled with gold Galleons, once this most important material is missing, it will break with a bang.

But it is undeniable that before this network is broken, it can indeed help Malfoy solve a lot of troubles encountered in life or business.

This was also the main reason why he was able to stand up to his identity as a "suspected Death Eater" and still thrive.

In addition, even Mr. Weasley is the same. Although his position is very inconspicuous, most people in the Ministry of Magic have a good relationship with him, including some directors of various departments.

Such as Ludo Bagman (Sports Division), Barty Crouch (International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Division), and Amelia Bornes (Law Enforcement Division).

Chris doesn't count, he's vice.

And a few days ago, Chris accidentally said that Mr. Weasley was going to create a new bill, which seemed to be about protecting Muggles and strengthening the management of black magic items.

And judging from Chris's tone, this new bill seems to be passed soon.

If Mr. Weasley was really just an ordinary employee of the Misuse of Muggle Substances Division, with Fudge's personality, it would be impossible to even look at him, let alone pass the bill he proposed.

As for McPhail and the others, they also wanted to get to know Kyle, the youngest member of Sir Merlin.

It can be said that the two sides hit it off and had a very pleasant chat.

Except for Fudge and Newt.

Fudge has other things on his mind... From his point of view, Kyle has great potential, but when he graduates from Hogwarts, it's almost time for him to finish his term, so it's hard to have any intersection between the two .

Therefore, Fudge wants to chat with McPhail or Sacia about his ideals and aspirations, so as to leave a good impression on them.

As for Newt, it's much simpler...he's socially horrified.

It had been 20 years since he was in the same room with so many people, so the scene in front of him was a bit strange to Newt.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Because it was already very late, in less than half an hour or so, the few people ended their conversation.

Newt was the first to leave the headmaster's room.

McPhail and Belby didn't move. Dumbledore said just now that he could arrange for them to stay in the castle for one night, so that they could go to award another person the Order of Merlin tomorrow.

The two readily accepted.

For some reason, Fudge stayed too.

After leaving the principal's office, Sacia set off for St. Mungo's... She took the initiative to support Kyle this time, and she didn't need to participate in tomorrow's honor ceremony.

After saying goodbye to her, Kyle found Newt waiting at the corner of the stairs.

The two came to an empty room next to them, and Kyle said with some surprise. "I didn't expect you to come too."

"Didn't you write a letter before saying that you want to ask me to help take care of some troublesome little animals?"

Newt sighed, "Just in time, they sent me an invitation, asking if I would like to come to Hogwarts together."

"So you agreed?"

"Hmm." Newt nodded, "It's something worth celebrating that you received the Order of Merlin, and I should come over too. Oh, Tina thinks so too."

"Thank you..." Kyle said sincerely.

Newt usually seldom even attends gatherings of old friends, but today he was able to appear in the auditorium with hundreds of people... This is quite a big test for his social terror.

But Newt waved his hand and didn't let Kyle go on:

"So, is the little animal you mentioned in your letter Nixiu?"

"Those little guys are indeed a little naughty, and you have to be a little patient to get along with them."

"No, it's not sniffing." Kyle smiled, "The little guy is cute and not troublesome at all."

"What is that?" Newt froze for a moment.

Besides Sniff, Newt really couldn't think of any other magical animals that Kyle needed him to help take care of.

"They were all smuggled, and I took care of them for a while after I met them... Forget it, you'd better see for yourself."

Kyle took out his own box, opened it and put it on the ground.

"But before you go in, you have to be mentally prepared, they may be a little different from what you think."

"After you said that, I suddenly looked forward to it." Newt smiled and shook his head, but he didn't take Kyle's words to heart.

He hadn't seen any magical animals before, so he didn't need to make mental preparations.
