The Clever Weasley Brothers

This was Kanna's first time getting so close to Dragon, and it was a very novel experience for her.

But Norbert clearly didn't think so. As soon as the two got off, it stood up and flew away without looking back. And whether it was intentional or not, it swung its tail hard at the ground as it left, trying to splash Kyle with dirt.

However, it clearly lacked the talent to Chaser; the large clump of dirt drew a graceful arc in the air and landed right on the Niffler's head, which had just crawled out of the bushes.

The poor Niffler had just crawled out and hadn't even figured out what was going on when it was shoved back into the bushes, leaving behind only a series of frustrated squeaks.

"Oh... such a big clump of dirt, will it be okay?" Kanna asked with some concern.

"Don't worry," Kyle listened to Niffler's strong voice, "Not only are you fine, you can even swear."

He then ignored Niffler and continued walking forward with Kanna.

However, although his box was spacious, it was mainly designed to allow Norbert to move around more easily and not feel cramped.

As for other aspects, such as the number of Fantastic Beasts... that's rather meager.

Although he had gradually brought more Bowtruckle, Mooncalf, and Augurey from the Forbidden Forest over the years, their presence scattered across half of the Forbidden Forest still made the place seem somewhat empty.

Especially in the area where it was snowing, there wasn't a single household in sight.

But Kanna didn't feel that way; everything here excited her.

She also discovered a large clearing in front of the woods, where rows of plump cabbages were planted.

"Is this the food you prepared for the Mooncalf?" she asked curiously. "Growing these must be quite a hassle."

"That's troublesome, but this isn't for Mooncalf," Kyle said. "And you have to be careful, don't go inside. In some ways, this place is much more dangerous than the Dragon."

As he spoke, he picked up a twig from the ground and casually threw it, which hit a cabbage.

The next second, the cabbage, which had been perfectly normal, suddenly split open in the middle.

Kanna's eyes widened as she realized it was a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth.

The branch was quickly bitten into pieces, and Kanna could even clearly hear the crunching sound of teeth hitting each other.

"Is this Biting Cabbage?" she asked incredulously.

"That's right." Kyle nodded. "So you have to be careful when you pass through here. And you saw that vine behind the Biting Cabbage, right? It's hiding behind the rock. Those are Venomous Tentacula ... And that row of flowerpots over there, they're filled with Mandrake."

Oh, and by the way, you probably know about the Devil's Snare. Those yellow flowers on its left are Belladonna. Don't touch them! If you get pollen on your skin, you'll feel uncomfortable for a long time."

Kanna listened quietly, her expression growing increasingly strange with each name Kyle uttered.

She felt that there wasn't a single normal plant here; they were either poisonous or extremely dangerous... Under these circumstances, the large patch of Dittany and Rue next to her seemed somewhat superfluous.

It feels like it was planted here intentionally to lower the level of danger.

Oh, and there was that Dragon from earlier...

Kanna blinked and couldn't help but ask, "You're not preparing for the Triwizard Tournament, are you?"

Thinking about it carefully, if all of these were released, unless the competition involved a duel with Professor Dumbledore, no level would be a problem.

A single Dragon could sweep away everything.

"Triwizard Tournament? Of course not, I just enjoy gardening, it's purely a personal hobby."

Kyle shook his head and said, "I don't even know if I can become Champion yet. Besides, there are some things I can't show myself. Like Dragon and Venomous Tentacula. If other people knew I had those, the Auror would probably be begging me to come visit the Ministry of Magic."

"You know that too..." Kanna muttered softly.

But Kyle didn't care; after all, no outsiders could come to this place, so it was perfectly safe.

And even if others find out, it doesn't matter. Newt has a lot of experience in this area; he just needs to copy the answer key directly, which is very convenient.

Kanna stayed in the box until noon before leaving, during which time she also drew a sketch on parchment.

Seemingly worried about losing the parchment, she didn't write in great detail, but simply marked the level of danger in each area with different colors.

In safer areas, such as the bushes and Dittany Rue near the entrance, the lighter yellow and pinkish-white colors correspond to the Niffler and the flowers.

The area representing the sky was circled in red... Kyle thought that must be Norbert.

As for the open space with Biting Cabbage and Venomous Tentacula, it was simply painted black.

She scribbled all over a perfectly good piece of parchment, making it even more abstract than the illustrations in "The Dream Oracle".

Kyle is certain that if anyone else saw this thing, they would have absolutely no idea what it was; the level of secrecy is off the charts.

The two returned to the small room at the entrance. After carefully putting away the parchment, Kanna followed Kyle out of the trunk to go to the Great Hall for lunch.

Kanna hadn't eaten much that morning and had been wandering around in the box all morning, so she was starving. If it weren't for that, she probably could have stayed in the box all day.

The two walked all the way from the Seventh Floor to the Entrance Hall.

However, just as they reached the entrance of the Great Hall, Fred and George jumped out on either side of them, standing there like a wall.

"You guys must have gone to check on the boxes!" George said with absolute certainty before Kyle could speak.

"How did you know?" Kyle asked.

"Because we went to see you!" Fred said.

"But you're not in the common room..."

"Neither in the library nor in Hagrid's Hut..."

The door to the Room of Requirement won't open...

George gave a knowing smile. "No doubt about it, you were in there so that you and Kanna wouldn't be discovered by anyone else when you went to check the boxes!"

"Okay, I admit it." Kyle shrugged. "You guessed it, it's the weekend, so we have some free time."

"Kyle, have you forgotten what you promised us...?" Fred said with an unfriendly expression. "George, I think we need to do something to make this forgetful gentleman remember what he said."

"I completely agree, Fred," George grinned.

The two rubbed their fists, and then... pulled a handful of Dungbomb from their pockets.

There were more than a dozen in total, and they were all the latest upgraded versions released by Zonko's this year, with a richer flavor than before. If they all exploded, I doubt anyone in the entire Great Hall would be able to escape.

"Let's talk this out." Kyle immediately backed down. "It was just showing you around the space inside the box, of course I remember, but you weren't in the Great Hall this morning, so there was nothing I could do."

"But the Room of Requirement is right next to our common room," Fred said, squinting. "Why didn't you go and call us...?"

Kyle chuckled sheepishly, "Um... would you believe me if I said I forgot?"

"Heh heh..." Fred sneered. "What do you think?"

"Okay, how about this afternoon?" Kyle said. "I'll take you there after lunch."

Fred and George exchanged a glance before putting down their deadly weapons.

"Okay, you said it."
