Professor Locknir

It was a gift from Sirius, could it be...? Kyle seemed to realize something and immediately opened the package.

Sure enough, just as he guessed, there was a beautifully crafted broom inside.

Firebolt.

The day Sirius was acquitted, he wanted to buy it and give it to Kyle, but Kyle refused, saying there was no Quidditch Match that year.

Surprisingly, he bought it a few months later.

"Firebolt! Who gave these to your Champion as a gift?" Cedric exclaimed excitedly. "We have Firebolt now! Oh, wait, there's no Quidditch Match this year!"

Cedric seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly rallied.

In any case, having a Firebolt is always a good thing. They can use it again next year. He'll see then whether Gryffindor... especially Fred and George, can still be so arrogant.

Mikel was also very excited. He examined the Firebolt carefully, as if admiring a rare treasure.

"What a pity..." he muttered to himself, "If only we could bring brooms to the Triwizard Tournament."

Soon, everyone knew that Kyle had received a Firebolt.

But because everyone was thinking about the Triwizard Tournament the next day, and Harry had received a Firebolt last year, the novelty had worn off, so the matter didn't cause much of a stir.

Kyle glanced at the note Sirius wrote again, but said nothing. He simply put the Firebolt back in his dorm and went to class.

However, what he didn't expect was that today's surprises would not be limited to just a Firebolt.

The last period in the morning was a Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid somehow got hold of a large group of Fire Crab, and these creatures carrying gems quickly attracted everyone's interest.

While everyone was busy feeding the Fire Crab lettuce, Hagrid quietly approached Kyle.

He bent down, pretending to examine the lettuce leaves on the ground, and said in a very low voice, "Come to my cabin tonight at midnight, and remember not to be discovered by anyone else."

Hagrid then straightened up and said loudly, "Very good, Kyle, you've completely mastered the art of feeding Fire Crab." He winked and left.

"Why did Hagrid send you to him?" Kanna asked.

"You probably want to show me something," Kyle said. "We can come together tonight... if you don't want to sleep."

"But is that okay?" Kanna asked. "What if someone finds out?"

"Don't worry," Kyle chuckled. "That's when the Invisibility Cloak comes in handy. I know the Disillusionment Charm, so I can hide myself perfectly well without it."

Kanna's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

That afternoon, Kyle gave the Invisibility Cloak to Kanna. Around 11:30 p. m., Kyle used the Disillusionment Charm to quietly leave the dormitory, then passed through the wooden barrel door of the common room and came to the outside corridor.

He waited outside for a while, and after a few minutes, the wooden barrel door beside him was opened a crack again.

"Kanna?" Kyle asked tentatively in a low voice.

It's me.

Suddenly, a head appeared in mid-air. Kanna said nervously, "How are you? You weren't discovered, were you?"

"No," Kyle said. "They were doing their homework until the early hours of yesterday, and went to bed at 11 p. m. today."

"Me too."

Afterwards Kanna put her Invisibility Cloak back on, and the two crossed the castle as planned.

It was pitch black outside, and they followed the light emanating from Hagrid's Hut.

However, they weren't the only ones coming here tonight. The cabin door was ajar, Kyle could clearly hear laughter and conversation coming from inside, even from a distance.

"Oh no, someone's here," Kanna said nervously. "What do we do?"

"Let's wait and see," Kyle said, and the two took a few more steps forward.

Suddenly, a Fang sound came from inside the hut.

The talking stopped, Hagrid walked out the door.

Then another person came out and asked in confusion, "Has anyone else arrived?"

"No, no." Hagrid looked around and said in a deliberately loud voice, "I think it must be Kneazle. Fang really likes playing with the Kneazle in the Forbidden Forest."

"Kneazle, oh, this place is really interesting, I like the Forbidden Forest." The man tilted his head back and drank the contents of his cup in one gulp.

"I have to go now, Hagrid. It was nice meeting you. See you tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, Lockneil," Hagrid called out to him, "I'll show you something amazing, something you've never seen before."

"What?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Hagrid said mysteriously, "But we also need to invite Madame Maxime; I promised her."

The two walked toward Beauxbatons ' carriage, and along the way, Hagrid kept looking back, as if trying to confirm something.

He only felt relieved when he felt a pebble hit his arm, and quickened his pace to the carriage.

Not far behind the two, Kyle tossed the remaining pebbles back to the ground and explained to Kanna, "That man is Professor Locknir from Beauxbatons; we've met him before."

Kyle was referring to his trip to the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary, where Lockneil, like Newt, was an expert invited by the sanctuary.

At the time, Kyle also made a lot of money from him using those badly damaged Dragon scales.

"Beauxbatons and other professors came too?" Kanna asked doubtfully. "I thought it was just Madame Maxime alone."

"He must have just arrived," Kyle said. "If he had been here from the beginning, he would have definitely shown up in the Great Hall, but none of us had seen him before today."

As they were talking, Madame Maxime came out. Just as Lockneil was about to step forward, Hagrid had already reached out a hand to help her down the golden steps.

The three then bypassed the enclosure where the Abraxan was located and entered the Forbidden Forest.

Kyle and Kanna followed them at a distance, and occasionally their conversation could be heard.

"Hagrid, Lockneil, where are you taking me?"

"I don't know either, Headmaster," Lockneil said. "I was just about to go back to sleep... Seriously, it's much colder here than in Beauxbatons."

"If you go back now, you'll definitely regret it," Hagrid said in a hoarse voice, with undisguised excitement. "You'll like it, it'll be worth watching, trust me. But... remember to keep it a secret, don't tell anyone, okay? You shouldn't know."

"Of course I won't tell," Madame Maxime said.

"That's right."

The three continued walking, and after about half an hour, they had walked quite a distance around the Forbidden Forest. Looking back, neither Hagrid's Hut nor the castle had disappeared.

We walked for another ten minutes.

"Did you hear anything?"

Several men were shouting loudly in front of her, Kanna tilted her head, trying to hear what they were saying.

Then came a deafening, piercing roar.

The three people in front immediately quickened their pace.

Kyle and Kanna jogged after them until they passed through a clump of trees.

There was an open space in front of them, and Kanna couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Oh my god!"

Fortunately, with shouts all around, no one noticed that there were two people hiding there.

Kanna quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "That's Dragon!"

Kyle nodded; he had already seen it.

Two ferocious-looking adult Dragon were confined in an enclosure made of thick wooden planks, roaring and snorting.

Moreover, there were not only Dragon, but also a dozen or so burly dragon breeders who were desperately pulling on the chains attached to the Dragon, trying to subdue them.

"Could it be that the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament is dealing with these Dragon?" Kanna said with some concern.

"Honestly, I don't know either." Kyle frowned.

Although he had already guessed that Hagrid was going to show them Dragon, he couldn't understand why there were only two Dragon here.

Yes, there were only two Dragon in front of them... a Swedish Short-Snout and a Hungarian Horntail, and not a single extra dragon egg.

But there are three Champion in the Triwizard Tournament, so how will the two dragons be divided?
