New Idea, Candy Thunder

Not long after, Cedric and Cho arrived one after another, and the private room became much livelier.

Everyone was very happy to see each other again after two months.

Whether it was Kyle's imagination or not, Qiu seemed to have grown taller than before. As soon as she entered the private room, she placed a large package on the table.

Inside were the gifts she brought, some snacks from the Muggle world.

In Qiu's view, Kyle, Cedric, and Kanna all come from dual-wizard families and must be very unfamiliar with Muggle snacks, so this is a good opportunity for them to try them out.

Therefore, she spent half a day carefully selecting some foods that she thought were particularly delicious.

The others were also very interested in the things she brought.

Cedric preferred a black beverage. Although he wasn't used to it at first, he gradually discovered that its unique taste was much better than Pumpkin Juice, and he even felt a strange sense of joy while drinking it.

If he hadn't known it was Muggle drink, he would have thought it contained Cheering Potion.

Kanna likes a kind of triangular corn chip and those berry-filled cookies.

Midway through, the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan also came over, and the three of them preferred a type of candy that could "explode" in the mouth.

"Honestly, I've suddenly come up with a really great idea."

Fred licked the packaging and said thoughtfully, "We could try to develop an exploding candy."

"Then put it on the Slytherin table."

George chuckled and said, "That might quiet Marcus down for a few days... I just heard that he's going to be Slytherin's Quidditch captain this year."

"That's a bit difficult."

Cedric opened the last bottle of soda, shook his head, and said, "It's unlikely that the Slytherin would eat candy of unknown origin."

"How about we put the candy in the kitchen?" Lee Jordan thought for a moment and said, "So they appear with other food, that way they won't seem like they're from unknown sources."

"I don't recommend you do that," Cedric frowned. "The House-elf won't agree, and they'll be in trouble if there's a problem with the food."

"Oh, I see... then forget it." Lee Jordan shrugged.

"Perhaps you could try a different approach."

At that moment, Kyle suddenly said, "For example, it's like candy in your mouth, but it explodes when you spit it out."

A glint of light flashed in Fred's and George's eyes simultaneously, and they said in unison:

"Kyle, has anyone ever told you...?"

"You're truly a genius!"

Kyle raised an eyebrow slightly. "Of course, many people say that."

"..."

Silence fell over the private room, and everyone looked at Kyle with disdain.

Kyle, however, didn't care at all and calmly ate a piece of chocolate. Through the car window, he even saw Neville.

He looked around on the platform, seemingly searching for something, while Augusta Longbottom stood beside him, scolding him with a stern expression.

He also saw Mrs. Weasley walking toward the train, with her three children following behind.

Ron, Ginny, and a skinny boy with round-framed glasses and messy hair, whose haphazardly cut bangs covered his forehead.

"Mrs. Weasley," Kyle waved from the window.

"Oh, darling, so you were here."

Mrs. Weasley hurried over. "Have you seen Fred and George?"

"We're here, Mom."

The twins responded and then walked out of the car.

"By the way, Kyle, what exactly have you been up to this summer?"

After the two left, Qiu picked up a Chocolate Frog and asked, "I wrote you a letter in August, and it took almost half a month to get a reply."

Kyle said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... something came up and I had to go on a long trip."

In fact, he received Qiu's letter on his second day in Dorset, but he was busy getting beaten up and forgot about replying.

He didn't remember until he got home.

Qiu didn't suspect anything and assumed that Kyle, like Cedric, had gone on a trip.

"I'm so envious of you guys," she said wistfully, munching on Chocolate Frog. "I'd also like to travel abroad. By the way... what do you think of Paris?"

The last sentence was spoken to Cedric.

"It was a wonderful trip," Cedric thought for a moment and said, "When we went to the opera, we met an old wizard from there. He recognized us immediately and told us about many interesting places."

If you'd like to travel there too, I can draw the route for you in a bit.

"That's wonderful," Qiu said with some delight. "I've always wanted to go to Paris."

By the way, did you go to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic?

"He's gone."

Cedric nodded and said, "However, Beauxbatons isn't in Paris, but in the southern Pyrenees, which is what that old wizard told us."

"What's it like there?" Qiu asked curiously.

"We didn't go inside; we just took a look from outside the school."

Cedric said, "It's a little smaller Hogwarts, but the architecture is more refined and beautiful."

There was a hint of longing in Qiu's eyes; she had always been powerless against beautiful architecture.

In particular, these buildings were designed by another well-known magic school.

While Qiu and Cedric were talking, Kyle glanced out the window again.

Mrs. Weasley was on the platform, holding a handkerchief and wiping the dust off Ron's nose.

The boy with glasses who was next to her had left sometime earlier, and now Percy was standing there in his place.

George looked at him and suddenly frowned.

"Percy, why is your robe different from ours?"

He gestured at his chest and said, "These are all new robes, but why don't I have that round badge? Did Madam Malkin skimp on the quality?"

"My dear, that's a badge that only Prefect have," Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.

"Oh, it's the Prefect Badge. No wonder you wore it all summer."

Fred exclaimed dramatically, "Seriously, it's a good thing you didn't get the Special Award for Services to the School!"

"I remember it was a trophy," George said.

"It can't be pinned to my chest..."

"But you can wear it on your head..."

"It's like wearing a golden hat!"

Fred and George exchanged a glance, then magically produced a trophy from their robes, placed it on their heads, and greeted each other like Percy.

"Shut up!" Percy's face turned red, and he looked very angry.
